Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Inside Zhangtai Palace, the temporary palace where Ying Zheng is currently residing.

Sitting on the bed, Ying Zheng looked at the Black Ice Guard agent beside him, his tone somewhat puzzled.

"The Imperial Advisor asked you to track down a man named Zhang Liang today?"

The spies from the Black Ice Guard nodded upon hearing Ying Zheng's question, and then added a sentence.

"The Grand Preceptor also told me to tell His Majesty that if this man named Zhang Liang cannot be subdued, he must be killed immediately, otherwise he will definitely become a major threat to our Qin state in the future!"

Originally, it was just assumed that Tang Yu was simply chatting with friends out of boredom, but it seems there was an unexpected situation in Qin.

Ying Zheng's tiger-like eyes did indeed gleam with a sharp light, giving him an imposing presence even without anger!

At this moment, his mind was churning with all sorts of thoughts. After all, the person who had received such praise before was Shang Yang, Gongsun Yang, a key figure who helped Qin become strong!

Although he was later executed by dismemberment for helping Qin with its reforms, which offended the interests of the old nobles, the most crucial element in Qin's unification of the six states was Shang Yang!

Without Shang Yang, even with six generations of wise rulers in Qin, it would still have been impossible to unify the six states.

"The Imperial Advisor instructed you to follow behind Zhang Liang. What did Zhang Liang do today?"

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, the Black Ice Platform's secret officer quickly lowered his head and reported what he had witnessed that day.

"After Zhang Liang left the Grand Preceptor today, he went to the residence of Lord Chunnan, who had accompanied him, and escorted Lord Chunnan back. Afterwards, it seemed that he rode his horse towards the place where the nobles of the six states resided."

"But then he seemed to remember something, so he turned around at the dock and went back home. And today he has been sitting at the table all day without eating or drinking."

Not eating or drinking? Tsk tsk tsk...

Discussing Taoism with the Imperial Advisor? It seems Zhang Liang really chose the wrong opponent!

Tang Yu had already instructed the Black Ice Guard to inform Ying Zheng of everything that had happened today, so Ying Zheng was naturally aware of his conversation with Zhang Liang.

As Ying Zheng pondered Tang Yu's words, he found them increasingly reasonable, even feeling that he had finally found a kindred spirit in his life.

"Everyone in the world says that I am a tyrant, that my Great Qin is tyrannical, but when has my Great Qin ever treated the people harshly, or ever oppressed them? The people my Great Qin targets are nothing more than the nobles of those countries!"

“Continue to monitor Zhang Liang and report all his daily actions to me in detail.”

"At the same time, if the Grand Preceptor fails to recruit him after several attempts, then you should directly ask the Grand Preceptor for his opinion. If the Grand Preceptor intends to kill him, then you should kill him immediately and not let him live another day!"

……

"Ah!"

Sitting on the bed, Zhang Liang felt himself sneezing incessantly, as if someone was talking about him.

However, after shaking his head, he didn't care about these things now, because what Tang Yu said today had a huge impact on him!

Zhang Liang had always believed himself to be a righteous man who fought against the tyrannical Qin Dynasty for the sake of the common people, but now it seems that he himself was no different from the tyrannical Qin Dynasty.

It seems that this tyrannical Qin dynasty did a better job than my original country, which is truly ironic!

"Am I really doing the right thing?"

Zhang Liang was now deeply doubting himself. During the years of war between the six states, the people of Han, where he lived, always had to go to the battlefield because of the war.

Many men perished on the battlefield, leading to a miserable and unstable life for the people, a veritable hell on earth.

Now it seems that after Qin unified the country, even though the people of the former Han state were no longer Han citizens, their lives finally stabilized, and they could live a life of farming and weaving.

He had made up his mind that from now on, he would look at the Qin state from the perspective of an ordinary citizen before deciding what to do.

"If what the imperial advisor said is true, then even if I obtain that half of the military treatise, I will restrain my hatred for the sake of the peace and happiness of all people!"

Zhang Liang was not yet the mature and prudent strategist he would become in later generations; he was merely a young knight-errant who harbored deep hatred for the Qin state and wanted to rid the tyrannical Qin for the sake of all people!

Even though the Qin state had a blood feud with him, if he found that his actions would plunge the world into endless war again, he would restrain himself even with such great hatred.

"Grandfather, what should I do? Was the tyrannical Qin Dynasty really not wrong...?"

Amidst these heavy worries, Zhang Liang slowly drifted off to sleep, and he had a very long dream.

In his dream, he saw his future self, who seemed to be following an old wandering knight with a strong sense of chivalry, along with a man who was very good at leading troops and another person.

After the three of them finally defeated numerous powerful enemies, they were about to overthrow the tyrannical Qin Dynasty. However, when they reached the gates of Xianyang, everything changed.

In his dream, Zhang Liang believed that he and his companions would surely win, but a figure appeared on the city wall that made him tremble all over.

On atop a city wall made entirely of metal, he saw Tang Yu, the Imperial Advisor he had met earlier that day, standing with his arms crossed, smiling at them.

Beside Tang Yu stood Ying Zheng, dressed in a dragon robe. Behind them, besides the Qin army shrouded in iron armor, were various unidentified weapons!

Zhang Liang dreamt that his faction was utterly defeated by Ying Zheng and Tang Yu, suffering heavy casualties in an instant.

"No! I don't want to die!"

When a strange iron object exploded beside him, Zhang Liang was instantly jolted awake from his dream, staring at the surrounding walls with horrified eyes.

"Huff! Huff! Is God telling me that I'm destined to fail this time?!"

……

The next morning, Tang Yu slowly opened his eyes from his sleep.

Looking at the all-wooden building and the antique-style rooms around him, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Even though he had been in time for a month, he didn't seem to have accepted the fact, and just felt that it was all just a pipe dream.

Sitting up from the bed, Tang Yu had a good night's sleep for the first time in this world, but his memories had indeed returned to the time before he transmigrated.

There was a time when, before I traveled through time, I seemed to have this routine every day.

Tang Yu no longer lives up to his confidence in the imperial court. Despite the arrogance of a transmigrator, he is filled with a vast sense of bewilderment—bewilderment about the future and about himself.

"What impact will my arrival have on this era? Do I truly belong to this era?"

Tang Yu's eyes scanned the room, and suddenly fell on the imperial advisor's robe placed beside the bed!

The various events that occurred after he arrived in Xianyang City kept appearing before his eyes, and his fantasies from his previous life also appeared in his mind.

If Ying Zheng were given a globe...

Tang Yu's eyes, which had been filled with confusion, suddenly hardened, and he muttered to himself.

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it. I'll build a different Qin Dynasty for you!"
