The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 214 No clue?

In the bustling city, Zhang Liang looked at the little golden monkey beside him, with a smile on his face.

In this world, there are certainly swordsmen who are unrivaled in the world, but most people have multiple means and countless backup plans, such as owning a spiritual pet, which has also given rise to the prevalence of various secret methods of taming animals.

Now, the promotion of the little golden monkey has added a powerful trump card for Zhang Liang. As a spiritual beast, it has also awakened its ancient bloodline and is born extraordinary. Even if it is just promoted, its strength is probably not inferior to Chisongzi.

More importantly, once a spirit beast breaks through its current level, as long as it is provided with sufficient resources for cultivation, there will be almost no bottleneck in its subsequent growth. As long as the little golden monkey who has just entered the third rank gets enough support, it is not impossible for it to become a top third rank spirit beast within a few years.

Of course, this would require a huge amount of resources that even Zhang Liang could not afford, but it is just a possibility.

After an unknown amount of time, the little golden monkey completed the breakthrough and shouted excitedly, like a child seeking credit.

"Come here!" Zhang Liang waved with a smile.

"Whoosh——"

The little golden monkey leaped lightly and landed on Zhang Liang's shoulder in an instant, like a golden flash, coming quickly.

"What a fast speed! If it were an enemy, even I would be killed by it if I'm not careful. It can be said that the little golden monkey now has the ability to kill a master-level expert with one blow!" Zhang Liang was secretly surprised.

“Eeyah!”

"I know you are very powerful, but don't show this ability to others easily!" Zhang Liang said with a smile.

The reason why the trump card is a trump card is that the enemy must not know it, otherwise there will always be a time when it can be targeted and cracked.

The strength of the little golden monkey does not need to be used against ordinary opponents, Zhang Liang's own strength is enough to deal with it. But for masters at the level of land immortals, the little golden monkey can play the role of a surprise attack.

After repeatedly instructing the little golden monkey to ensure that it would not reveal its strength at will, Zhang Liang ended his retreat and reappeared in the Taoist temple.

"Master!"

Zhang Li, who was guarding outside the secret room, saluted quickly.

"Is there anything important recently?" Zhang Liang asked with a smile.

"Sir, nobles from various countries have left one after another. Many of them have expressed their intention to cooperate long-term. Some dignitaries are even willing to assist you in dealing with those who have offered a bounty!" Zhang Li answered directly.

“Those people who have been bountied? Haha, I’m afraid some of them are eager to distance themselves from them!” Zhang Liang sneered.

"There are indeed people who want to distance themselves from the matter, and even sacrifice pawns to save the chariot, but there are also people who are sincere in showing goodwill!" Zhang Li said in a deep voice.

"Well, that's natural. Tell me more about it later!" Zhang Liang smiled and asked, "What's the situation in South Korea?"

"Han Fei is missing, and Xun Kuang has returned to Xiaoshengxianzhuang, but he was not seen bringing Han Fei with him along the way. Wei Zhuang is still serving in the Han court, but has been suppressed recently." Zhang Li said.

"Han Fei is missing? No clues?" Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Liang didn't care about Han Fei's life or death, but this time Han Fei really angered him and made him want to kill him.

Han Fei was clever and resourceful, but lacked a bit of ruthlessness. But if he hid in the dark, Zhang Liang would not be able to rest assured.

He was not worried that Han Fei would pose a threat to him, but he was worried that Han Fei would take action against his forces in South Korea when he was not there.

"Sir, we suspect that Han Fei may have joined Luowang or reached some kind of cooperation with Luowang!" Zhang Li hesitated for a moment, but finally stated his speculation.

"What a trap!" Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh, and then asked: "Is there any news from Lu Buwei?"

"Lü Buwei?" Zhang Li was stunned. Although he didn't know why the topic suddenly changed, he still said seriously: "Lü Buwei has been driven out of Xianyang by the King of Qin and is heading to Shu!"

"Shu?" Zhang Liang smiled and asked, "What's the news about Li Si?"

"Li Si? I didn't pay much attention to it!" Zhang Li was even more confused, but continued: "But yesterday, news came that Lu Buwei was hunted by the Black Swordsman Sheng Qi on his way to Shu, and he had no peace day and night."

"Shengqi?" Zhang Liang smiled, remembering the agreement he had made with Shengqi. It must be said that Shengqi was trustworthy and really went to kill Lu Buwei.

Given Shengqi's character, since he has decided to abide by the agreement, he will not give up unless Lu Buwei is killed this time.

However, Zhang Liang was curious about Ying Zheng's attitude.

Lu Buwei must have been protected by experts, but as a prime minister who had lost his power, it was almost equivalent to being exiled. Even if the people around him could resist Sheng Qi, it would probably not be easy for him.

But would Ying Zheng really sit back and watch Shengqi assassinate Lu Buwei without doing anything?

It is undeniable that Ying Zheng did want Lü Buwei to die, but he never wanted Lü Buwei's death to be out of his control. You know, although Lü Buwei's power in Qin had been weakened to the extreme, it had not completely disappeared.
