The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

Chapter 255 Zifang, you should have understood these things long ago, but you just didn't want

The one who destroyed Qin was Hu!

These five characters originally came from Lu Sheng of the Lu family, who, after failing to obtain the elixir of immortality, claimed to have obtained a magical book.

The book contains such a prophecy.

Most people, including the First Emperor, thought that the "Hu" in this sentence referred to the Xiongnu outside the Great Wall.

It was for this reason that the First Emperor ordered Meng Tian to lead an army of 300,000 to guard the border and not to return to Xianyang without being summoned.

Many people who were determined to overthrow the Qin Dynasty were also secretly plotting against the Xiongnu.

Although it's impossible to help the Xiongnu break through the border, at least we can make them cause some trouble for the Qin Dynasty.

If the Qin Dynasty were to perish as a result, it would be considered to have fulfilled the prophecy in the immortal book.

After all, nowadays people believe in being ordained by Heaven.

Most people take this prophecy quite seriously.

Zhang Liang, too, cannot be ignored!

Several days after the prophecy circulated, Li Er, who was living peacefully in the inn, was approached by someone.

They were not officials of the imperial court.

Or rather, in places like Xinzheng, the officials of the Qin Dynasty had already been won over by the old nobles who were determined to restore the Han Dynasty.

The court's eyes and ears were all turned away, and only the former powerful figures came knocking on the door.

"Liu Bang, the head of the Sishui Pavilion in Pei County, was known for his benevolence and chivalry."

"I have long admired your name, and now that I have met you, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved."

Li Er opened the door and was immediately met with a barrage of flattery.

"There's no need for such excessive praise. I know my own limitations."

"I know why you have come today, and I will explain it to you directly and clearly: I have come here for Zhang Liang, the grandson of Zhang Kaidi."

“Send him to me, and I will tell you the meaning behind this prophecy.”

He didn't even bother with polite compliments.

Anyway, they're praising Liu Bang, not Li Er.

The visitor was not angry at his attitude.

I'm not afraid of you having conditions, I'm afraid of you not mentioning any conditions!

The one who destroyed Qin was Hu!

This saying has been around for a long time, but even after all this time, no one can figure out what the "Hu" in it really means.

The few who speculated about the Xiongnu, as time went by, saw their chances of success become increasingly slim.

Meng Tian's 300,000-strong army did not need to launch an offensive; they only needed to defend the Great Wall.

In this situation, let alone hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry, even millions would not be able to breach the Great Wall!

More and more people are beginning to doubt the authenticity of this prophecy, but Li Er suddenly appears at this time.

He also claimed to know the secret behind it.

Let alone wanting to see Zhang Liang, even if he wanted to see Zhang Kaidi, it's not impossible to dig him up and let him see him!

"Since it is Brother Liu's request, Zhang Zifang will come to see you soon."

"But we hope you can keep your promise, otherwise, even though our homeland no longer exists, we are not easily fooled!"

These people are also decisive and efficient.

Or rather, they have been waiting far too long for the truth of this prophecy.

The First Emperor's overwhelming power, combined with the terrifying fighting strength of the old Qin army, made him a formidable force.

Most of these people had witnessed it firsthand.

In their hearts, the First Emperor, who swept across the six kingdoms, was invincible, and the old Qin army had terrified them!

If it weren't for this prophecy, and the mysterious destiny bestowed upon them, they wouldn't even dare to stand up against Qin, let alone mention the restoration of their country!

Li Er didn't have to wait long.

Moments after those people left, Zhang Liang arrived in a hurry.

He also had high expectations for this person who claimed to be able to unlock the secrets of the proverbs.

Only by destroying the tyrannical Qin Dynasty could he have the opportunity to realize his ideals and fulfill his ambitions!

"Liang greets the Sishui Pavilion Chief."

Before he arrived, someone had informed Zhang Liang of Li Er's identity.

After arriving here, he paid his respects with the utmost courtesy.

Li Er stepped forward and helped him up.

"Zhang Liang, are you curious about my purpose in coming here, and why I want to see you?"

The moment Zhang Liang saw him, he began to carefully observe him.

They were not only sizing up Li Er, but also looking at the place itself.

But Li Er didn't care and instead made it clear.

"I am indeed curious, but compared to the prophecy of the one who will destroy Qin, my curiosity is insignificant."

Zhang Liang nodded, but quickly offered an explanation.

What if I said they were the same thing?

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Sure enough, this back-and-forth immediately piqued Zhang Liang's curiosity.

"You want to destroy Qin, restore the old state, and become the prime minister of Han, and so do I."

Li Er first pointed to Zhang Liang, then pointed to himself.

These words left Zhang Liang speechless.

"You also want to become the Prime Minister of Han?"

"...I want to destroy the Qin Dynasty!"

Li Er said irritably.

Who would even look at your Han Xiang!

"The time is fast approaching. I hope you can help me. After we achieve great things, I will help you restore your kingdom and keep your position as Chancellor of Han. What do you say?"

Zhang Liang: “…”

So you're just here to make empty promises?

"If that's all it is about, then I can only apologize."

He's not some naive cat or dog who's never seen the world. Do you really think you can fool him with just empty promises?

"The one who destroyed Qin was Hu, but the Hu here is not the Xiongnu."

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Li Er grabbed him again with a single sentence.

After being pulled and tugged repeatedly, Zhang Liang couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

"Could you please finish what you have to say at once?"

“If it can truly help the grand plan, then we will certainly not be stingy. But what you said about me assisting you is absolutely unacceptable. No matter what, I am still Han Chen.”

This was tantamount to a firm rejection of Li Er's proposal.

But Li Er wasn't in a hurry; he just glanced at him with a detached look.

"Don't speak too soon. Among the nobles left behind by the six states, the most powerful ones must be the people of Chu who shouted, 'Even if Chu has only three households left, it will surely be Chu that destroys Qin.'"

"Even without any prophecies, they never gave up their great cause of destroying Qin and restoring Chu. And what about you?"

"Placing all your hopes on such a vague prophecy, even if the court really falls because of this prophecy, what makes you think you can get a share of the spoils?"

“Zifang, I know you are not a fool. You should have understood these things long ago, but you just didn’t want to.”

He spoke frankly and bluntly: regardless of whether Qin fell or not, they had no chance of successfully restoring Han.

When it came into Xiang Yu's hands, Xiang Yu killed the future King Cheng of Han, and instead of letting him return to his kingdom, he demoted him to a marquis, and later killed him.

As for the original Liu Bang in history, he never intended to enfeoff kings of different surnames.

It can be said that from beginning to end, Zhang Liang, this idealist, never had the opportunity to realize his ideals.

He should have understood this much earlier, but he simply refused to.
