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

"A nobleman from the State of Chu?"

Zhang Liang snapped out of his daze and gave a bitter smile.

However, out of courtesy, he thought for a moment and then said:

"Please invite that gentleman here."

Zhang Liang was shocked the moment he saw Xiang Yu.

With a figure wider than a mountain, an unparalleled aura of dominance, and double pupils in his eyes, he is definitely the countenance of a hegemon!

If it were the Zhang Liang of the past, he would have immediately grabbed the other party and enthusiastically discussed the important matter of restoring the kingdom, but he is different now.

"Xiang Yu of Jiangdong pays his respects to Mr. Zhang."

"My name is Zhang Liang. Greetings, Mr. Xiang!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiang Yu sat down in the seat that Tang Yu had just been sitting in.

He was a little confused; why was the stool still warm?

However, he didn't pay attention to these details. Perhaps it was because Mr. Zhang had just been sitting here?

He looked at Zhang Liang beside him, his tone somewhat excited.

"Master Zifang, I have long heard of your great name, but have never had the chance to meet you. Today I have come specifically to discuss with you the important matter of overthrowing Qin!"

Seeing Xiang Yu's excited and eager expression, Zhang Liang gave a bitter smile.

"Is that really the case?"

This time, however, he shook his head, his tone devoid of any emotion.

"Mr. Xiang has probably found the wrong person. Zhang Liang has no intention of rebelling."

"What???"

Xiang Yu's heart skipped a beat at first, and then he felt that he understood.

Because if Zhang Liang had told any visitor that he wanted to rebel against Qin, he probably wouldn't be alive today. Therefore, he said seriously:

"Please believe me, Mr. Zhang, I also despise this tyrannical Qin Dynasty. My ancestors were Xiang Ji, a general of the Chu state!"

"Xiang Ji, the general of Chu?"

Zhang Liang nodded, but the next moment he still said:

"Mr. Xiang, please request to return. You've contacted the wrong person!"

After several refusals, Xiang Yu left Zhang Liang's courtyard amidst his anger and confusion.

When he came out, he was still muttering indignantly.

"What Mr. Zhang Liang? What anti-Qin figure? In my opinion, he's not even half as good as my brother Zilong! He's simply a waste of my time!"

"A rare natural phenomenon? Too bad you're too late."

Zhang Liang had a wry smile on his lips. This was a rare natural phenomenon, which in ancient times would definitely be a symbol of vying for the throne!

He might have chosen to assist Xiang Yu without hesitation in his rebellion against the Qin Dynasty.

However, once Zhang Liang realized how much harm and suffering his actions would bring to the people of the world, he knew he was wrong.

He couldn't live with his own conscience!

Between the world and the nation, he chose the world, which is far greater than the nation!

He put aside his personal hatred and chose to stop for the sake of world peace!

The instant his idea was born,

"Ha Qiu——"

While Qin Shi Huang was far away in Zhangtai Palace, he suddenly sneezed several times.

"Who on earth is thinking of me? How strange."

Qin Shi Huang could never have imagined that Tang Yu's words would save him from a potentially dangerous assassination attempt.

"Ding dong!"

Hearing the sound of the system refreshing things, Tang Yu immediately put his mind into the system.

After opening the system space, he saw a map made of sheepskin inside the system.

Three red dots appeared prominently on the map, two of them together and one of them quite far apart.

Tang Yu discovered that the red dot further away was located in a place called Huaiyin!

"Huaiyin? Could it be..."

Tang Yu's mind raced at that moment.

"Three red dots...the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty?"

Sure enough, he saw a red dot next to him in Xianyang City, which was unusually dim.

He turned his head and saw that the red dot definitely represented Zhang Liang from before, so the other one... must be Xiao He!

"How interesting! I didn't expect Xiao He to come to Xianyang City. I suppose he was attracted by the assessment of the secretaries and officials."

He flipped the map over and found a line of text written on the back.

"Successfully eliminating the red dots will allow you to exchange the map for a mysterious reward."

Mysterious reward?

Good grief, this thing is in the system?

Tang Yu initially thought that his system would at most reward him with some modern items, but with the appearance of the intelligent medical pod and this map, he realized that he had underestimated the system.

With such a powerful system, it is likely that the Qin Dynasty will one day be able to unify the world, which is by no means a pipe dream!

He was curious about what the system's mysterious grand prize was, and how to get rid of the red dots.

He looked at the three red dots on the map, each with a different brightness; two were a normal red, while the other was unusually dim.

Tang Yu realized that the one that was dimmed was Zhang Liang behind him.

"Are those vital signs? Are you telling me to go and kill them?"

Upon hearing about eliminating the red dots, Tang Yu instinctively thought of such a hardcore elimination method.

"No, Zhang Liang was in excellent health, and he never suffered from any serious illness in history."

He was very distressed at the moment, wondering what the red dot could represent besides health points.

Suddenly, he recalled his conversation with Zhang Liang at that time, and the other party's reaction afterward, and it flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning!

"Could this red dot represent the degree of intimacy with the Qin state? Or perhaps a change in fate?"

When someone truly submits to the Qin state from the bottom of their heart, and when their fate is completely changed, this red dot will disappear completely!

Tang Yu smiled. He had always intended to recruit the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty, and the system's reward was merely icing on the cake.

With this map, it will be exceptionally easy for Zhang Gan to find Han Xin in the future!

As for Xiao He?

Hmph, if something is offered to us, we might as well take it!

While Xiao He was eating hotpot and singing in the inn... no... while he was seriously preparing for the exam, he was already being targeted by the second most notorious rogue in Qin.

As for the number one rogue state?

That is of course our first emperor of all time, Qin Shi Huang, Zheng Ge!

"Xiao He, you're not content to be a minor official for the rest of your life, are you? If that's the case, then you must work hard in the next two days!"

While Xiao He was encouraging himself, Tang Yu had already arrived outside.

However, unlike his treatment of the familiar Zhang Liang, Tang Yu was unusually polite.

"Dong dong dong."

Hearing the knocking, Xiao He was somewhat puzzled.

"coming."

After opening the door, he looked at Tang Yu with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

"May I ask who you are...?"

"I am Zhao Zilong. I have come to pay my respects to Brother Xiao He before the examination, having heard of his great talent!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao He looked Tang Yu up and down with suspicion, noticing that Tang Yu's clothes and accessories were exceptionally luxurious.

He was clearly from a noble family, and such a person would not be after anything from him, so Xiao He let Tang Yu in.

"Brother Zhao, you flatter me. With the assessment just around the corner, what brings you here to see me?"

Looking at the unremarkable-looking man in front of him, Tang Yu felt a pang of emotion.

This is Xiao He, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty and a talent fit to assist a king!
