Chapter 990: Going Back

"Brother Gai, are you going back?" Zhang Liang and Su Fan were very surprised.

"Indeed! You both just analyzed it; the Rebel Army of the Six States is like this, and Xianyang City has only dispatched General Wang Jian. Moreover, it seems that the two senior generals, Wang Jian and Wang Bi, can no longer suppress the rebels."

"For Xianyang City to remain indifferent, something major must have happened."

"It is possible that something has happened to His Majesty."

Gai Nie said gloomily.

The Great Qin had finally unified the world with great difficulty, and grain production had increased significantly; the common people had hope for their lives, and not having to fight wars and being able to live on—this was the kind of life the common people yearned for most.

Yet, how much time had passed, and the world was in chaos again.

Although Gai Nie came from the Ghost Valley school, he did not like the arts of vertical and horizontal alliances.

Although the Ghost Valley school was made famous by those predecessors who practiced the arts of vertical and horizontal alliances, Gai Nie knew that the more powerful these arts were, the more chaotic the world was.

And the more chaotic the world was, the more terrifying it was for the common people at the bottom.

The number of deaths caused by war was immeasurable.

When Gai Nie traveled the world in the past, he saw villages across thousands of miles of land that were completely deserted, with white bones stretching for thousands of miles.

He naturally did not want to see that kind of terrifying scene again.

Therefore, he had always been very resistant to the Ghost Valley's arts of vertical and horizontal alliances.

He had no intention of blaming the predecessors of Ghost Valley.

After his travels, he saw the momentum of the Great Qin, which was why he entered Xianyang City; comparing the decay of the Six States to the flourishing Great Qin, he also hoped that the Great Qin would end these thousands of years of continuous war.

The Great Qin did not disappoint him; after the great war, it destroyed the Six States and unified the world.

Later, after he left, his good friend also developed techniques to improve farming, increasing the yield of grain in the fields, which gave the hundreds of millions of common people in the world the possibility of survival.

For the people to live and work in peace—this was the world he yearned for most.

But now, just as things were getting started, a change had occurred in the Great Qin of Jiuzhou.

The remnants of the Six States had returned, attempting to restore their nations and return to the situation of the warring feudal states of the past.

This was what he, Gai Nie, least wanted to see.

Something had gone wrong in Xianyang City, and he needed to go back and see.

"Brother Gai, if you return to Xianyang City now, I fear it will be of no avail."

Zhang Liang was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

"It is not that I am discouraging you, Brother Gai, but in what capacity would you return to Xianyang City? Regardless of whether that First Emperor has encountered problems or not, your return will be of no use to Xianyang City."

"If Xianyang City is not concerned about the rebels, then there must be a problem, but you..."

Zhang Liang did not continue; the meaning was clear: even if Gai Nie returned to Xianyang City, he would not be able to play any role.

After all, he was only a Sword Cultivator; even as a Sword Cultivator with the combat power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, to be honest, during the period of the Six States, he could still have a say in a state, or even influence a state's policy.

But now, it was truly difficult for a Sword Immortal of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm to influence the national policy and movements of the Great Qin.

It was not as if the Great Qin lacked the combat power of Taiyi Golden Immortals; there were certainly many.

Although Gai Nie's combat power was excellent, he was not at the center of the Great Qin; the power of the Great Qin was all in the hands of the central authorities in Xianyang City.

These people would not change their minds because of a mere Gai Nie.

Therefore, Gai Nie's return would be completely ineffective.

Zhang Liang's words made Gai Nie fall silent.

He knew that the other's words were indeed true.

He was not a central minister of the Great Qin, and his influence on Xianyang City was very low.

Let alone trying to influence the policies of the Great Qin.

Thinking of this, Gai Nie's expression became somewhat ugly, appearing somewhat powerless, and he stared blankly into the distance.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang did not feel good either; he opened his mouth, but did not know what words of comfort to say.

Su Fan saw the expressions of the two and shook his head.

"You two, are you so discouraged already?"

"Regardless of what change has occurred in Xianyang City, Brother Gai, although returning to Xianyang City may not be of any use, you can go to General Wang Jian's side."

"The reason the Rebel Army was able to turn around and strike General Wang Jian's army is nothing more than the dozen or so Golden Immortal combatants that suddenly appeared on the rebels' side."

"And the combat power of the Rebel Army Commander, Xiang Yu."

"The armies of both sides—the Great Qin's army is always stronger; it is just that the rebels have more Golden Immortals, and their assault on the army has made the Great Qin's army unable to hold steady."

"Brother Gai, your combat power is unparalleled; you can head there and assist General Wang Jian."

"The Rebel Army is, after all, a rebel army; as long as those Golden Immortal combatants are suppressed, I believe General Wang Jian can firmly suppress these rebels and not let them wreak havoc on the region."

Su Fan's words suddenly made the two see the light; they had been thinking about what was going on in Xianyang City, but had forgotten that the most immediate issue was the Rebel Army.

As long as the rebels were suppressed, or even wiped out, it would not matter what change had occurred in Xianyang City, as long as the world was at peace.

"Haha! It is still Brother Su who reminds us in time!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang reacted immediately and laughed loudly.

Gai Nie also came back to his senses, and the brilliance of Sword Intent burst forth in his eyes.

"Indeed, many thanks for the reminder, Brother Su."

"Zifang, are you going back too?"

Su Fan was somewhat surprised to see Zhang Liang's expression.

On Xiang Yu's side, there were nobles from the Six States, which included Han, where Zhang Liang was from; Zhang Liang was a noble of Han, and from a great noble family at that, as several generations of Zhang Liang's ancestors were capable prime ministers of Han.

In history, Zhang Liang was a staunch anti-Qin figure, and it was even said that he personally participated in the assassination attempt on Ying Zheng.

But in this world, Zhang Liang had long seen through it and had not participated in the rebellion of the Six States.

After all, history is history, and myth is myth.

In history, Lord Wu'an Bai Qi died long ago, but in the current myth, not only is the Great Qin's Lord Wu'an still alive, but in fact, the Zhao State's Lord Wu'an is also still alive.

It is just that the latter has hidden himself.

After all, the latter is also a big shot of the Military School, cultivating Military School divine abilities; his cultivation might be slightly inferior to the Great Qin's Lord Wu'an, but it is no worse than Wang Jian and the others.

Let alone living for several hundred or a thousand years, even ten thousand years is not a problem.

Zhang Liang had long seen through the nobles of the Six States, and having already understood some secrets of the Honghuang Dixian Jie, he no longer had any thoughts about the Great Qin unifying the world.

Not to mention anything else, whether the Great Qin can survive this tribulation is still a question; if it survives, it means the Great Qin is the master of Humanity Luck, and then the Six States wanting to restore their nations is simply a fantasy.

And if it cannot survive, then he has no need for revenge; the Great Qin would be finished, and as for how Jiuzhou will proceed in the future, that would be waiting for the next master of Jiuzhou.

He has already begun to cultivate the Tao, so why bother with those things anymore.

However, as a member of the Human Race, Zhang Liang's current thought is to see the Human Race rise, so his heart has gradually come to stand on the side of the Great Qin.

At the very least, in many places, the Great Qin is indeed doing better than the corrupt Han.
