Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 255 My Zhang Liang - The True One!
When Qin Shi Moyu returned to the Guiyi Chamber of Commerce's stronghold with Gongsun Li, whose brows were furrowed with a faint sorrow and disappointment.

Zhao Tuo suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Commander, the person you ordered to be invited... has arrived and is waiting in the study."

"Oh? Zifang arrived so quickly?"

Qin Shimo Yu chuckled softly.

To be honest, before Zhang Liang actually arrived, he wasn't very confident that Zhang Liang would heed his summons and come from Xinzheng in Han to Daliang in Wei.

After all, he had some acquaintance with Zhang Liang and shared the same ideals.

However, when it comes to status...

Zhang Liang was born into a top-tier aristocratic family in the state of Han. His grandfather, Zhang Kaidi, was the prime minister of Han, and the Zhang family had served as prime ministers for generations, wielding immense power in the court! He was truly a descendant of a prime minister!
And what about Qin Shi Mo Yu? Apart from his identity as the leader of the Mo family in the martial arts world, he is just a mere guest minister in the state of Han.

Normally, it's the guest advisors like him who are the ones currying favor with the prime minister's son. How could it be the other way around, with the prime minister's grandson coming to do things for you?

But Zhang Liang still came.

This in itself speaks volumes.

Qin Shi Moyu turned to look at Gongsun Li, seemingly unintentionally asking the same question as before:
"Junior Sister Gongsun, I'm going to see an old friend who's come all the way from Korea to discuss some important matters. Are you planning to come with me? Or... go back to your room to rest?"

Gongsun Li was indeed exhausted at this moment, heartbroken by Jing Ke's unintentional actions. Her instinct was to refuse him, and she just wanted to find a quiet corner to lick her wounds alone.

But... for some reason, when she heard Qin Shi Moyu ask her question again... she hesitated for a moment, as if possessed.

In the end... he didn't say a word of refusal, but just nodded slightly.

Upon seeing this, Qin Shi Moyu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

It's still the 'bottoming out theory'!
At this moment, Gongsun Li was deeply disappointed and even resentful of her senior brother Jing Ke, and her emotional and mental state undoubtedly fell into a low point once again.

At this point, without prior preparation, she would most likely choose to close herself off emotionally in a short period of time.

But... Qin Shi Mo Yu had already planted the 'seed' long ago!
Now, the huge emotional rift in her heart is precisely the perfect opportunity for this 'seed' to take root, sprout, and grow strong!
Because at this time, there is the negative image of Jing Ke, who is slow-witted, hesitant, and even arguably 'betrayed' her expectations, as a contrast.

In her heart, Qin Shi Moyu had already quietly become a positive figure, so... he didn't even need to do anything deliberately anymore!
All he needs to do is... naturally bring her to his side, like he is now, increase the time they spend together, and in the process, avoid acting too poorly or revealing any obvious negative traits...

So, in her state where disappointment had reduced her expectations to almost zero...

No matter what Qin Shimoyu does, she will probably subconsciously interpret it as 'caring,' 'valuing,' and 'capable,' constantly increasing and consolidating his positive image in Gongsun Li's mind!

Humans, in order to facilitate their understanding and memory, subconsciously label most things for classification and positioning.

For example, the position of 'sweetheart'!
Many people say that "the heart is infinitely large and can hold many people at the same time," but in reality... that's not true.

The mind is finite!
Even exclusive!

Because a person's past experiences are limited! And the profound memories they can hold and remember are also limited!
When a new, intense, and profound memory emerges, it will inevitably squeeze out, encroach upon, or even cover up... those existing memories and emotions that are no longer so "important" in the same "emotional niche"!
Often, the human brain subconsciously compares, evaluates, and prioritizes two similar old and new memories...

Then, in order to save 'memory space' and to make their own emotional logic more self-consistent, they bury, downplay, or even delete those 'unimportant' memories!

Most people are not clearly aware of this subtle working mechanism between the brain and emotions.

That's why so many people are shocked, bewildered, and find it hard to accept when their partner suddenly changes their mind!

They were perfectly fine yesterday, so why do they suddenly stop loving each other today?
But upon closer reflection, it's not hard to see that this is just how people are.

I am constantly forgetting many memories from the past.

Feelings, too, can change with time, experience, and new challenges.

If you don't actively maintain or inject new, important emotional memories, then...

The 'niche' you originally occupied will naturally be quietly occupied or even completely replaced by other people or things that can bring more novelty and better meet your current needs.

This theory applies not only to women, but also to men, and is even more effective at it!

In the study room.

"Zifang, you've come a long way, you must be tired."

With a sincere and enthusiastic smile on his face, Qin Shi Moyu took the initiative to bow to Zhang Liang, who had just stood up.

"Liang greets Brother Mo. The journey was short, nothing to be ashamed of." Zhang Liang bowed slightly in return.

"Long time no see! Zifang is still as charming as ever!"

Qin Shi Moyu laughed heartily, patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder in a very natural manner, and then led him back to his seat.

Gongsun Li, who silently followed behind Qin Shi Moyu, served him quietly without uttering a word, just like an ordinary maid.

Like Han Mo's disciples, Zhang Liang was already used to this.

My friend has never lacked female confidantes of all kinds, from plump to slender, and from different backgrounds.

After drinking a few cups of tea and exchanging pleasantries and inquiries about each other's recent situations, the two had a few cups of tea.

Qin Shi Mo Yu naturally steered the conversation to more serious matters:

"To be honest, Zifang, the reason I urgently asked you to travel all the way from Xinzheng to Daliang is because... I have an important matter to entrust to you, and I need to rely on your extraordinary talents."

Zhang Liang maintained his refined and elegant demeanor, but his eyes were noticeably brighter, gleaming with eager anticipation.

He put down his teacup, leaned forward slightly, and said seriously:
"Brother Mo, you flatter me. I am but a humble scholar, how dare I presume to be 'world-class' before you? If you have any requests, please speak plainly, and I... dare not disobey!"

Why did he travel all the way from Xinzheng, South Korea?
Isn't it all just to cause trouble?

At this time, Zhang Liang had not yet reached maturity and still possessed a certain naiveté and sharpness characteristic of young geniuses.

Compared to the fall of Korea, after a chance encounter with Huang Shigong on the bridge, he became a calm, reserved, and infallible strategist of the Han Dynasty, a master strategist who could win battles from afar.

But... as a born sage, a top strategist destined to go down in history, he knew better than anyone how to maximize his potential!

That is—to get things done! To do big things!
In the tides of time, let us gain experience! Let us strategize! Let us personally rewrite the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall structure, overall situation, and overall landscape)!
But in South Korea... although his grandfather, Jang Kai-di, was the prime minister, he always regarded him as a child who had not grown up.

Furthermore, the South Korean court is now riddled with deep-seated problems and stagnant, and many issues cannot be resolved simply through wisdom and strategy alone.

No matter how profound or unfathomable the wisdom of a sage may be, he always needs to have pieces at his disposal before he can make his moves and establish his strategy.

In a sense, this was actually... Zhang Liang's first 'low point' in his life—possessing extraordinary talent but having nowhere to use it!
And now, Qin Shi Moyu is actually willing to entrust his power to this 'youngster' who hasn't even come of age yet and has no achievements, to strategize and plan...

This seemingly 'rash' move was more than just an opportunity for Zhang Liang! It was a weighty trust that he would do everything in his power to repay!
"it is good!"

That's exactly what Qin Shi Mo Yu wanted to hear!

Others may not know Zhang Liang's true abilities, but how could a time traveler not trust the strategies of a "master strategist"? Even if he is a master strategist in his growth stage or even in his infancy.

"You must have carefully reviewed the intelligence gathered by the Mohists. So... you should now have a clear understanding of the complex situation in Wei."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang nodded slightly, indicating that he had indeed studied it.

Qin Shimoyu tapped his fingers lightly on the table and casually asked:
"In that case, in Zifang's opinion, who should be my next target?"

"Wei Yong!"

Without any hesitation, Zhang Liang's eyes shone brightly, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, and he gave his answer decisively!

"The Grand Minister of Works of Wei is in charge of the city defenses of Wei and commands half of the Wei elite troops! Such a powerful man has secretly colluded with the tyrannical Qin and the Luo Wang organization, acting in concert! For his own selfish interests, he is willing to betray the interests of the state! If he is not eliminated, the alliance will be difficult to achieve!"

Gongsun Li, who had been standing quietly to the side with little presence, was taken aback upon hearing this.

She never expected that this seemingly refined and handsome young man would speak with such arrogance!
They actually want to kill the Minister of Works of the State?!

Ironically, Qin Shi Moyu seemed to agree with his judgment.

Is this... what these people at the top of the chessboard of the world are talking about? Their ruthless decisions are so... arbitrary?
"Zifang's words resonate deeply with me!"

Qin Shi Mo Yu clapped his hands in praise,
“Since we share the same view, then… please go ahead and do this, Zifang! If you need manpower, money, or any other support, you can directly mobilize the resources of the stronghold without asking me for permission. I may have to leave Daliang for a few days.”

"Liang, how dare you disobey?!"

Excitement gleamed in Zhang Liang's eyes. He stood up and bowed solemnly to Qin Shi Moyu once again!
This was exactly the opportunity he had been longing for!

Gongsun Li stared at the two people in front of her; one dared to give, and the other dared to accept.

She suddenly felt that she... seemed to be unable to understand this world anymore.

Moreover, the president said he would be leaving for a few days? At such a crucial moment, what... is he going to do?
