Chapter 47
Ying Su’s eyes narrowed slightly, and finally, he went to the room where Zhang Liang was held!
And as soon as he reached the door, he started asking about Zhang Liang’s condition.
The guard reported: "He still refuses to eat, and doesn't drink much water either!"
Ying Su asked: "Is he pretending not to want to eat or drink? Or does he really not want to?"
The guard said: "His desire to die is very strong; last night, he took advantage of the guard on duty dozing off and actually tried to bite his tongue and commit suicide!"
"Fortunately, it was discovered, and it was stopped!"
"But since then, we haven't dared to let his mouth open, but have stuffed a towel back in!"
"Even... his room cannot be left unattended; even when he goes to the toilet, he must be watched, for fear he will seek death!"
"However... Your Majesty, rest assured, we will guard him strictly and will not let him die."
Ying Su listened while sighing, and after thinking for a moment, he pushed open the door and walked in!
And at a glance, he saw Zhang Liang’s incomparably resentful eyes!
"Mr. Zifang!"
Ying Su smiled and took the initiative to greet Zhang Liang!
At the same time, he took the towel out of his mouth!
However, Zhang Liang gave a cold snort and ignored him completely!
Ying Su didn't mind, took out a small bottle directly, and said:
"Mr. Zifang, I know you are a lover of good wine; this is fruit wine I brewed myself, would you like to taste it?"
He said, opened the wooden stopper, and placed the bottle under Zhang Liang’s nose for him to smell.
And as soon as this intoxicating wine aroma spread, it made the guard on duty swallow his saliva!
Even Zhang Liang’s Adam’s apple couldn't help but move.
But he still closed his eyes and ignored it!
Ying Su took a sip from the bottle and began to praise: "This wine is delicious; it is fruit wine brewed with bananas and oranges, it is truly delicious!"
He said, and while saying it, he drank gulp after gulp in front of Zhang Liang!
This scene once again made the guard swallow his saliva, and Zhang Liang also began to swallow his saliva!
Ying Su continued: "Mr. Zifang, do you really not intend to taste it?"
Zhang Liang was silent, not speaking!
Ying Su frowned, and finally, simply put down the wine bottle and said to Zhang Liang:
"Since you don't want to talk, then I won't disturb you. Come, bring a bottle of this fruit wine to Mr. Zifang every day, and for meals, they must be cooked by my personal chef for Mr. Zifang, do not be sloppy!"
"Then... Mr. Zifang, you rest first, I’ll leave first!"
Ying Su gave instructions and finally turned and left.
And for the next few days, Ying Su was almost like this every day, coming every day to say a few idle words to Zhang Liang, and after saying them, turning and leaving!
Likewise, the wine, food, and everything else were of the highest standard.
However, after several days, Zhang Liang didn't have the slightest reaction.
Even the wine and food Ying Su sent, he didn't touch a single bit!
It is no exaggeration to say that whatever Ying Su sent, when he went in again, it was still the same!
And just when Ying Su went to Zhang Liang’s room for the fifth time, the guard was rescuing Zhang Liang!
"This... what happened again?"
Ying Su was surprised, and the guard reported in a panic:
"He took advantage of the guard bringing him food and swallowed gold!"
"Swallowed gold?"
Once the words were out, Ying Su was horrified and carried out a rescue immediately.
And after a series of operations like pouring fecal water and turning him upside down, finally, that piece of copper was gotten out!
And at the same time, Zhang Liang woke up!
But... just as he opened his eyes, he saw Ying Su’s incomparably cold eyes:
"Mr. Zifang, must it be like this?"
Zhang Liang didn't speak, but Ying Su grabbed his collar and roared at him:
"You want to die, right? Fine, from today on, no one will watch you; if you want to die, then go die as you please!"
"But what I want to tell you is... as long as you die, King An of Han, including all the current royal family of Han, will be slaughtered by me!"
"If you want them to be buried with you, then go ahead and die boldly!"
"I will never persuade you again!"
Ying Su finished speaking and turned to leave!
And just after he finished saying these words, Zhang Liang, who hadn't spoken much since being brought back, finally panicked and hurriedly shouted to Ying Su:
"Your Majesty, stay your step!"
PS: Please vote with flowers and evaluation tickets!
044. Smoothbore cannon! Han Xin: Two hundred thousand people can destroy the Xiongnu!
"Stay my step?"
"Mr. Zifang, what is the matter?"
At that moment, Ying Su asked him with a smile!
Zhang Liang bowed to Ying Su and said: "Zhang Liang is willing to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"
He shouted, dragging his weak body, knelt down to Ying Su, and kowtowed!
And once this sentence was out, Ying Su was happy.
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief in his heart!
Although he understood that Zhang Liang couldn't be loyal to him now, at the very least, he shouldn't be seeking death anymore.
And after understanding this, Ying Su had to laugh at himself for being too stupid at the beginning.
Zhang Liang was, after all, a die-hard anti-Qin leader; was it that easy to make him submit?
Did he really think a few bottles of fine wine, a few good meals, and some "respecting the wise and lowering oneself" could easily take him down?
Impossible!
Since the fall of Han and the death of Han Fei, anti-Qin sentiment had been buried in his bones.
Wanting him to be loyal was almost impossible!
And what he wanted wasn't his loyalty!
He just wanted him to offer strategies!
And the best way to make him offer strategies was through threats!
Threatening him with the Han royal family he cared about most, threatening him that the Han royal family would die because of him—this was the most effective means!
Ying Su let out a long sigh of relief in his heart, and at this moment, he really couldn't help but laugh out loud!
And he didn't hide this joy at all, walked toward Zhang Liang for the first time, grabbed his arm, and said: "Since Mr. Zifang is no longer seeking death, then there is no need for guards to watch you tonight!"
"Mr. Zifang, rest well tonight, and when you recover, I will come to see you again!"
He finished speaking and turned to leave.
How should he put it?
Even if he knew it was impossible for him to be loyal to him, he still had to try to win him over!
More or less, this was still one thousand points!
At that moment, Ying Su left!
And Zhang Liang felt like his heart was breaking with regret!
He hated himself for actually wanting to be loyal to the Qin State, and he hated Ying Su even more for being despicable!
He actually used the lives of the Han royal family to threaten him.
What could he do?
He was annoyed to the point of breaking his heart, but... he had no choice!
Because... Ying Su had bet correctly!
He really did care about the lives of the Han royal family!
