Xiang Yu's guess is absolutely correct. Qin Hao has indeed never touched Zhang Ning, so Zhang Ning cannot be pregnant. But the key is that Zhang Liang doesn't know that Qin Hao has something in Xiang Yu's hands.
The reason why Qin Hao said this was just to let Zhang Liang step in to protect him from Xiang Yu.
From Xiang Yu's attitude, Qin Hao already had a hunch that if he was still in Xiang Yu's hands, he would definitely suffer a lot in the future.
If Zhang Liang knew that Zhang Ning was pregnant with Qin Hao's child, no matter whether Qin Hao was an enemy or a friend, he would definitely save Qin Hao's life first.
And Qin Hao's treatment in the hands of Zhang Liang is definitely much better than that of Xiang Yu.
What Qin Hao didn't expect was that the conflict between Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu had been going on for a long time. It was such a surprise that the two of them almost fell out with each other with such a simple instigation.
Xue Rengui and Qin Hao were both strong in force. In order to prevent the two from escaping from prison, Zhang Liang chose to imprison them separately. Among the dozens of guards in the spacious prison, only Qin Hao and Xue Rengui were watching.
Zhang Liang stood in front of Qin Hao's cell, stared at Qin Hao inside, and said lightly: "You are really magical. Even if you are captured, you can sow discord between me and Xiang Yu."
How could Zhang Liang not see Qin Hao's little thoughts? The reason why Qin Hao's wish was still fulfilled is because Zhang Ning is more important than Xiang Yu in Zhang Liang.
Moreover, Zhang Liang has endured Xiang Yu for long enough. If he doesn't fight back forcefully, Xiang Yu will definitely make further progress, and this can be regarded as Zhang Liang's warning.
Qin Hao laughed when he heard this and said: "I am also trying to protect myself. There is no other way."
Qin Hao didn't expect Zhang Liang to be suspicious so quickly, and replied with a smile: "I think so."
This ambiguous answer is even more ambiguous, because everyone knows what it means.
Zhang Liang's face instantly turned extremely cold, and he said sternly: "How dare you use force on Ning'er?"
"Please, do I need to use strength with my capital?"
Qin Hao's implication was that Zhang Ning took the initiative to like him, and Zhang Liang thought about it carefully and found that it was not impossible. After all, Qin Hao had nothing to fault in every aspect.
The niece and Qin Hao were both ready to cook, which reduced Zhang Liang's hostility to Qin Hao to a minimum, and an astonishing plan appeared in his mind.
"Qin Hao, are you willing to join the Yellow Turbans?" Zhang Liang asked seriously.
"Huh?"
Qin Hao felt that he could not keep up with Zhang Liang's pace, but he still said decisively: "That is impossible."
Zhang Liang shook his head and continued to persuade: "You haven't understood what I mean. I'm asking you if you are willing to join the Yellow Turbans as Ning'er's husband."
"Does it make a difference?"
"The difference is that you will become the founding emperor of the new dynasty as the eldest brother's heir."
Zhang Liang's indifferent words left Qin Hao and Xue Rengui stunned.
Xue Rengui didn't know the cause and effect, so he didn't understand what the two were talking about at all, but he understood the meaning of this sentence.
What's the situation? Aren't you a prisoner? Why would Zhang Liang say that he would let his lord inherit the Yellow Turban and become the emperor?
Xue Rengui looked confused and couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it.
Qin Hao frowned, Zhang Liang actually wanted to make him the master, which surprised him to the extreme, but then he figured out the key.
Is it possible for Qin Hao to succeed Zhang Jiao?
If Qin Hao really marries Zhang Ning, it is really possible.
The two armies in the southeast of the Han Dynasty are both under the control of the Qin family and his son, so if Qin Hao joins the Yellow Turbans, Qin Wen can only join the Yellow Turbans, and then the world basically belongs to the Yellow Turbans.
Zhang Liang said this because he saw this, and this could directly defeat the Han Dynasty, which was a quick way to unify the world.
Although Qin Hao caused great casualties to the Yellow Turbans, if he had made great efforts in promoting the unification of the world, and with the support of Zhang Jiao's son-in-law and Zhang Liang, the Yellow Turbans might not be unable to accept Qin Hao.
But this kind of world is not what Qin Hao wants. He will only realize his ambitions by himself and will never accept charity from others.
"I still refuse." Qin Hao said lightly.
This time it was Zhang Liang's turn to be surprised. He could refuse the temptation of becoming an emperor, and Zhang Liang couldn't help but look highly at Qin Hao.
"Why?" Zhang Liang asked with a frown.
"Because I'm not optimistic about it." Qin Hao said concisely and comprehensively.
Zhang Liang took a deep look at Qin Hao and said: "The Han Dynasty is destined to perish, and hundreds of families cannot support the Han Dynasty."
"Yes, the Han Dynasty is destined to perish, but so is the Yellow Turban? You must also know this." Qin Hao asked rhetorically.
Zhang Liang remained silent. The biggest crisis for the Yellow Turbans today is not the big man, but the lack of an heir. What if the big brother one day... The Yellow Turbans will still fall apart and the world will fall into war again.
In order to prevent this day from coming, Zhang Liang even wanted to make Qin Hao emperor, but Qin Hao was not stupid, he saw Zhang Liang's purpose.
Even if Qin Hao inherits Zhang Jiao's position, the Yellow Turbans will still be divided, but the situation will definitely be better. With Zhang Liang's assistance, it will not be difficult to unify the world again.
Zhang Liang's plan was perfect, but it was not what Qin Hao wanted, so Qin Hao decisively refused.
I will fight my world in my own way, Qin Hao thought secretly.
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Liang asked again: "Who is that person from hundreds of schools of thought who is planning for the Han Dynasty? What is he planning?"
Qin Hao was shocked, but he pretended to be stupid and said: "What plan? What Baijia? I don't understand what you are talking about?"
"No matter what it is, I will definitely expose their conspiracy."
Zhang Liang also knew that Qin Hao would get nothing out of him by asking questions, so he turned around and left after saying this. Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
It is too dangerous to deal with Zhang Liang. Flaws may be exposed unconsciously. He was almost shaken just now.
"If I had known this, I might as well have stayed at Xiang Yu's place." Qin Hao said helplessly to himself, at least staying at Xiang Yu's place wouldn't consume so many brain cells.
After Zhang Liang walked out of the cell, Ji Bu hurriedly greeted him. When Zhang Liang saw the person coming, he asked: "Ji Bu, what do you think of Qin Hao?"
Ji Bugang was about to report Xiang Yu's situation to Zhang Liang. After hearing this, he thought for a while and replied: "Qin Hao is an ambitious man."
"Oh? Reason?"
"During the period when his subordinates were captured, Qin Hao not only did not make things difficult for his subordinates, but instead took great care of them and personally persuaded them to surrender several times."
The meaning of Ji Bu's words is that Qin Hao's love for talents is a manifestation of ambition, otherwise why would this enemy general spend so much effort?
Zhang Liang nodded and said to himself: "Qin Hao is obviously very ambitious, but why did he refuse?"
"Reject what?"
"Do you know what I just used to lure Qin Hao into surrender?"
"I don't know."
"I said let Qin Hao become the heir to my eldest brother and support him as the founding emperor of the new dynasty."
"What? General Ren Gong, you..."
"But he refused, without any hesitation."
Ji Bu was stunned. What on earth were these two people thinking?
