"Milord, Han Country's fourth young master Han Yu requests an audience.”Not long after Ran Xiu sent Han Fei away, another soldier reported to Han Yu that he wanted to see him.
"Are they done yet? Why are they coming one after another?”Bai, who was in Ran Xiu's arms, was very dissatisfied with the people who kept disturbing her and Ran Xiu's intimacy.
Originally, as the Young Master of the Yin-Yang School, Bai had been cultivating diligently every day, completing one task after another that was assigned to him by the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. He was like a machine every day, and those days were really numb.
Every time she went out on a mission, Bai envied those women who were free under the sun. She wanted to be one of them. In the end, she chose to defect with Black. It was not without this reason.
Therefore, Bai liked her current life very much, especially when she stayed in Ran Xiu's warm embrace and watched him play chess with Black. This kind of warm life was what she had always wanted.
"Bai, quickly get up. My husband came to the Han Country on a mission. You can't be so willful.”Compared to White's current willfulness and liveliness, Black maintained its original cautious and old-fashioned personality.
" Humph!" Bai understood Black's words. Despite her complaints, she still got up from Ran Xiu's arms.
"Actually, you don't have to worry so much. You're no longer the Young Master Si Ming of the Yin-Yang School. You can just be my wife happily.”Ran Xiu gently stroked Black's cheek.
In fact, Ran Xiu realized that he had changed a lot after obtaining that memory. He was no longer the Mountain Ghost who only liked to fight and was only interested in interesting things.
After comforting Black and White, Ran Xiu left for the hall to meet Han Yu, who had come to visit.
After Ran Xiu left, Black suddenly collapsed on its seat, its face as red as a cooked crab.
"Black, you're too useless. You're clearly husband and wife, but you're still so shy.”Seeing Black like this, Bai teased her from the side.
" Bai, to be Xio's wife is truly blissful and fortunate.”Black ignored White's teasing and said this without thinking.
Although Ran Xiu had treated them well before, Black had not completely let down his guard like White.
The reason why Black was so respectful to Ran Xiu was because he was in charge of their lives. She was afraid that if she did something wrong, she would make Ran Xiu unhappy and lose this hard-earned happiness.
It was only now that Black finally let go of its worries and completely handed itself over to Ran Xiu.
"Of course. We don't have to live as apathetic as before, nor do we have to live in fear.”White gently hugged Black. She and Black were sisters, so she naturally understood Black's worries.
However, Bai also knew that it could not be eliminated by persuasion alone. Only when Black felt it himself could he really let go.
"I'm sorry, Fourth Young Master. I have some matters to attend to, so I'm really sorry for making Fourth Young Master wait here.”Although Ran Xiu apologized, he didn't look apologetic at all.
"No worries." Han Yu was all smiles. He naturally knew that Ran Xiu was just being polite and did not take it seriously.
"May I know why Fourth Young Master has come?”Ran Xiu didn't intend to beat around the bush with Han Yu and directly asked him about his purpose for coming here.
The current Crown Prince of Han Country was a member of Ji Wuye's faction. He was a weak person. After he ascended the throne, the government would definitely be controlled by Ji Wuye.
Han Yu naturally saw through this. Furthermore, he had originally intended to take the throne, so Ran Xiu didn't think that he would come here without a purpose.
However, this person was extremely shrewd and scheming. Even Ji Wuye called him an old fox. Ran Xiu did not want to waste time arguing with him, nor did he want to waste his brain cells guessing riddles.
Therefore, Ran Xiu went straight to the point and asked Han Yu about his purpose for coming here.
" Uh…" Ran Xiu's straightforwardness caused Han Yu's prepared script to die in his stomach." Lord Ran, you're really straightforward. I'll be blunt then."”
"I came here this time to ask for your help. Lord Ran must know that my father is unwilling to deal with the complicated affairs of the country. Therefore, the government is controlled by Prime Minister Zhang Kedi and General Ji Wuye.
Among them, Ji Wuye holds military power and is arrogant and despotic. He is no longer satisfied with being a general, so I want to ask Lord Ran to help me get rid of Ji Wuye.”
"Fourth Young Master might have asked the wrong person for help.”Ran Xiu didn't expect Han Yu to ask him to do this." I'm just an ordinary envoy. I don't have much ability."
Moreover, no matter if it was in Qin or Han, he did not have any foundation. How could he help the fourth young master?”
"Lord Ran must be joking. How can he be an ordinary person to be able to make the King of Qin look at him in a different light and personally appoint him as an envoy to the State of Qin?”The smile on Han Yu's face didn't change. Although he didn't get much information about Ran Xiu, this alone was enough to make him pay attention to him.
"So, Fourth Young Master isn't here to ask for help, but to test me.”Ran Xiu deliberately made things clear. He felt that Han Yu's goal might not be limited to this.
"Lord Ran, since I've said it out loud, I won't hide it anymore.”Han Yu spoke frankly.
"No matter what your purpose is, with me, my ninth brother, Ji Wuye, and Prime Minister Zhang here, the chances of success are very small. If you come to help me, I can help you a little.
"Even if you can't complete your mission, as long as you can help me get rid of Ji Wuye, I can persuade my father to give up a quarter of the land of Han to Qin as a gift of thanks.
The land and the head of the Han Country's general, Ji Wuye, should be enough for Lord Ran to report to the King of Qin and Lu Xiangguo! It would be extremely beneficial to Sir Ran's official career.”
Han Yu's cake was too big. Even though he knew that there were risks and traps, it was still difficult to resist the temptation.
This was especially true for those who were self-reliant on their talents. They knew that there was a problem, but they believed that they could make the other party suffer a double loss with their own intelligence.
Han Yu was very clear about the desires of the human heart. Thus, he believed that regardless of whether Ran Xiu was talented or mediocre, regardless of whether Ran Xiu understood the danger involved, he would still fall into his hands.
However, since Ran Xiu had seen through all of this, the final victor would still depend on who had the upper hand in the cooperation.
