In this world, the higher the status of a person, the more afraid they were of death. This was not an exception for most people. Occasionally, there would be exceptions. We would call them heroes, but heroes usually had a low status and were simply poor kids.
If a person in a high position was not afraid of death and was a hero, then there was only one ending, and that was death. Because he was not afraid of death, and people of the same level as him were afraid of death, so when he did not follow the rules, these people who were afraid of death would think of ways to get rid of him.
The fundamental reason was that they could not bear to part with it. They could not bear to part with the wealth and splendor of their lives. They could not bear to part with the superiority of their lives. The more they could not bear to part with it, the more they were afraid of death. Therefore, when death came, they often valued their lives more than anything else.
In Han Wangan's eyes, his life was much more important than the Han Kingdom's territory. In his mind, this territory belonged to him, and handing it over to Great Qin was only his business.
Therefore, when he returned to the Han Palace under the threat of the killers and announced his surrender, he did not feel any humiliation. Because he had returned to the palace where he had been living since he was young, and there would not be any officials like Zhang Kaidi coming to disturb him in the future.
As long as the palace was his, he didn't care if it belonged to Qin or Han.
Or perhaps Han Wangan understood it in his heart and was even humiliated, but what could he do? The Great Qin Empire's power had already been established, and the State of Zhao's forces had been wiped out by the Wu 'an Lord, Baiqi, and Changping. The remaining half-dead State of Chu had also been destroyed half a year ago.
Even if he died generously, so what?
He didn't care about what was recorded in the history books. He only cared about his own life.
Li Xin led the Flying Bear Army to take over the remaining palm-sized land of Han without shedding a single drop of blood. The news of victory quickly spread to Xianyang. Mu Wu also stayed in Zixuan Pavilion to recuperate. After his injuries recovered, he would return to Xianyang.
Inside the Purple Pavilion, Mu Wu was sitting on his knees. Shao Si Ming was carefully warming the wine for him. Because he had used the Divine Blade Slash twice, he had suffered some internal injuries. His body was a little weak, and he couldn't even drink cold wine. Nongyu stood beside him, occasionally glancing at Shao Siming.
Violet Maiden was still sitting opposite her. If it was another man, the atmosphere would definitely be extremely charming. One man and three women, an ordinary person might not be able to handle it.
Unfortunately, the atmosphere was a little depressing.
"Violet Maiden, Zixuan Court will be merged into the Shadow Secret Guard from today onwards. You are the deputy commander of the Shadow Secret Guard.”Mu Wu casually told him about Violet Maiden's appointment.
It was not a particularly high position, but Violet was very satisfied. Even though the Purple Pavilion was mysterious, it had records in the Network. The Violet Maiden knew this and was unwilling to be destroyed by Great Qin together with the Han Kingdom. That was why she had taken the initiative to go up to Mu Wu when the negotiations had reached a stalemate. She had asked for her life.
At the very least, the gains she had obtained had exceeded her expectations.
"However, I hope that after the Purple Pavilion is merged into the Shadow Secret Guard, it will still be in your hands.”Mu Wu picked up the wine that Young Si Ming had warmed and drank it all in one gulp.
Violet Maiden's beautiful eyes narrowed. After a while, she asked,""Why do you believe me?"
"Because you are a smart woman.”Mu Wu looked at the sun hanging high in the sky outside the window. The sunlight was a little hot. He reached out his hand to block the sunlight from shining on his eyes.
"Father is just like the sun, slowly rising from the morning until it is almost noon. The heat is at its highest and the light is at its brightest. However, the sun would set one day.”
"Tomorrow morning, who will be the sun?”
"I understand what you mean. I will hide in the dark night and wait for the new sun to rise until it shines on the entire land.”Violet Maiden stood up and placed her hands on her lower abdomen. She bent down and touched her forehead to the ground. This was the first time she had addressed Mu Wu as " you ".
A smile appeared on Mu Wu's face as he raised his cup and said,""Happy cooperation."
After staying in Xinzheng for about half a month, the Great Qin Empire had thoroughly digested the new lands that Han and Wei had taken over. It was also time for Mu Wu to set off for Xianyang, and Ying Zheng had also rewarded Lady Zi.
Just as Mu Wu had said, the Vice Commander of the Shadow Secret Guards would be split up from the Purple Pavilion and merged into the Shadow Secret Guards.
As for Mu Wu's reward, there was no trace of it. There were rules for everything, even though Mu Wu had done it beautifully this time and did not give himself away. However, in the eyes of the remaining Zhao, Yan, Qi, and the rest of the world, Great Qin's Second Young Master had undoubtedly broken the rules.
In this era where everyone had to abide by the rules and stop fighting, strategies such as beheading were still not allowed. However, it could be imagined that with the beginning of Mu Wu, such things would only increase in the future.
Because the benefits were huge. The militarists who had always respected subduing the enemy without fighting would definitely not waste such a fresh new tactic.
In the room of Zhao Gao, the commander of the Central Carriage Prefecture in Xianyang Palace, brightly colored spiders crawled up and down between his fingers. Everyone said that the brighter the color, the more poisonous it was.
Zhao Gao was actually a kind of poison. The net under his command was also a poison, a poison that could poison anyone. However, poison could not only hurt people, but also harm oneself. Zhao Gao chose Huhai because Huhai was not a person who could really control poison, and he wanted to be the one who poisoned him.
But now, the hope of Huhai ascending the throne was getting smaller and smaller. He was the most poisonous poison in the world, and perhaps he should find someone who could continue to poison him.
Everyone in Xianyang was immersed in the lively atmosphere of the Han Kingdom's surrender, while the higher-ups of the Qin Kingdom were unusually quiet. Apart from Ying Zheng's symbolic announcement of amnesty to celebrate the Great Qin's progress on the road of unification, there was no other indication.
Although Mu Wu had broken the rules, the Han Country had surrendered, and the merit of destroying the country could not be announced to the outside world. However, it was still like a heavy hammer that firmly solidified his foundation.
