In Peng City, Hui Shi learned that the Qin State had mobilized 100,000 troops at the border. He immediately knew that this was a warning from the Qin State. Once something happened to the Qin King, the army would immediately rush into Daliang.
Hui Shi also learned that Ying Si and Wei Shu, the daughter of Wei State, admired each other, so he took this opportunity to discuss with Ying Si the idea of marriage between the two countries, saying that it was better to resolve the enmity than to make it. However, what poor Hui Shi did not expect was that he was destined to spend his life in hardship. The King of Wei actually gave up and found Wei Shu, forcing her to assassinate Ying Si, or he would take her father's life. Wei Shu could only bitterly agree, but she did not know that when she left Wei, her old father had died in order to not make things difficult for her. She did not expect this news to be hidden.
Li Xiang was still thousands of miles away at this moment. Otherwise, he would definitely complain about this melodramatic scheme and then beat up the mastermind of this scheme, the King of Wei, to vent his displeasure.
······
On the day of the wedding, Ying Si was stabbed in the chest by a dagger under the cheers of the surrounding people. He looked at the woman beside him in disbelief.
With his ability, as long as the assassin was three steps away from Ying Si, he could use the Drunken Immortal Full Moon Step that Li Xiang had taught him to dodge. The only people who could assassinate him were those who were close to him.
" Shu 'er has let you down, Ruler, Shu' er has let you down…" Wei Shu said as he cried.
"Wei Shu, don't move and don't take out the dagger, otherwise I will die immediately.”Ying Si still maintained his smile and walked forward. The only one who noticed the abnormality was Ying Ji, who was in charge of hosting and standing in front.
"You almost destroyed the State of Qin!" Walking into the room and closing the door, Ying Si slapped Wei Shu and shouted.
"Drag him down and throw him into the imperial prison!" Ying Si held onto his dagger and said angrily.
"Shu 'er, do you really want to kill me?" Looking at Wei Shu being dragged away, Ying Si asked bitterly.
Wei Shu didn't reply. She couldn't defend herself…The cause and result of this matter were immediately investigated.
"Quickly go to Sunken Fish Pavilion to find Mister Bianque!!!”Ying Ji immediately ordered.
……
Ying Si's heart wasn't injured, and because of Li Xiang's medical skills, Bianque had been staying in Sunken Fish Pavilion because of a favor. He had rushed over in time for treatment, so he was fine. However, Ying Si did not immediately release the news to stabilize the court. Instead, he deliberately let Bianque spread the news that his life was in danger and could die at any time.
This was exactly the method Ying Si had seen Li Xiang use to deal with the old clans. Qin Fa's three pillars disappeared, and a sea of fish was startled.
As expected, when the court heard that Ying Si was in danger, other than the majority of people who were worried and working hard to stabilize the government, a small number of people chose to tell the righteous canal in the north about this matter.
After King Yiqu confirmed that the source of the news was reliable, he immediately sent his troops to attack. However, he did not expect the Qin army to be prepared in all directions. As a result, King Yiqu died tragically. Prince Yiqu and his uncle, along with a group of people, temporarily fled to the Chu Country and were accepted by the Yin of the Chu Country. However, this Yiqu had a deep hatred for the Qin Country. He believed that the so-called assassination of the Qin King was just a cover used by the Qin Country to deceive them. It was just to kill his father and cause Yiqu to fall into chaos again.
Ying Si did not know what Yi Quhai was thinking. He had just finished dealing with the last remaining dregs in the Qin country and had also favored Wei Shu, who had assassinated him.
……
"Why did you return to Qin?" Ying Si looked at the Wei secret agent in front of him and asked.
"I'm afraid it has something to do with the West River." the emissary replied.
"The Wei Kingdom is going to fight again?" Ying Si had a headache.
"The Wei Kingdom has already sent a letter of request to the various countries.”
"Who would help that old fogey and ask for help? Being beaten is called asking for help, but is beating others called asking for help?”Ying Si supported his chin and said disdainfully.
"Ruler, please take a look." The emissary took out a secret report and presented it.
A secret letter was sent-
In the State of Qin, there was a tiger and wolf monarch who killed good ministers, rewarded cruel officials, cultivated the land, fought and controlled the people. There was a warlike king in the State of Chu. He plundered neighboring countries and invaded foreign countries. He was arrogant and extravagant, and his people suffered.
It is pitiful that the world is in turmoil, trying to survive and wait for the strong. It is better to attack the strong to protect themselves.
It is a policy to unite the three Jin countries to lock up the Qin Dynasty and unite the Yue Shu and the weak Chu. It is a policy to unite the weak countries to resist the strong.
"Who wrote it?" Ying Si read it over and over again. Although he felt that something was wrong, this article undoubtedly allowed him to see another side.
"Zhang Yi from Wei!"
"Zhang Yi? Who are you?"
······
In the Yin Mansion of Chu State.
"I am Zhang Yi, temporarily serving as a customer here. May I know who you are, sir?”
"Li Xiang."
······
"Li Xiang, it sounds familiar…Hmm.”Zhang Yi said as he wolfed down the food and wine.
"Are you from Chu?" Zhang Yi took a sip of wine and asked.
"No."
"Have you been here before?"
"I was here a long time ago." Li Xiang looked at Ying Du, who hadn't changed much, and nodded.
"Oh, then do you know anyone? It's not good for me to just eat and drink here.”Zhang Yi asked after swallowing a piece of roasted meat and raising his wine glass to moisten his throat.
"No, I haven't."
The people of Chu that Li Xiang knew back then had long turned into dust.
"Oh, then I'll sleep for a while." When Zhang Yi heard that Li Xiang didn't know anyone, she immediately lost interest. She pushed the plate to the side and fell asleep on the table.
"Hu hu hu…"
Who knew how pathetic Zhang Yi was? He was hungry and tired, and he didn't have the money to eat and drink in the inn. He came to the Chu Country's magistrate to be a guest. Li Xiang had only come to the Chu Country to take a look before returning to the Qin Country. He did not expect to see Zhang Yi in the capital of Ying City of the Chu Country. If Gongsun Yan was said to be a generation of generals, capable of literature and martial arts, and good at using troops; Then Zhang Yi was a weak scholar, but he could defeat the four seas with just one bite.
In Li Xiang's plan, Qin's next move was to " rely on Shang Jun's law internally and rely on his words externally." A big boss like Zhang Yi would naturally be kidnapped and sold back.
However, looking at the person who was sleeping soundly in front of him, Li Xiang decided to go out for a walk first and wait for Zhang Yi to wake up.
Not long after Li Xiang left, a group of servants rushed in aggressively and shook Zhang Yi awake.
"Hmm? What are you doing?" Zhang Yi was carried away in a daze, and many of the guests were pointing at him.
Zhang Yi was still in a daze. Seeing that the servants did not answer, he simply fell asleep again. However, this time, he did not sleep for long before a sharp pain woke him up.
Zhang Yi opened his eyes and realized that he had been hung on a beam by a servant and was being whipped.
"Tell me, where did you hide the precious jade in Lord Yin's residence?!”The servant whipped him again and asked fiercely.
"What precious jade?" Zhang Yi did not react for a moment.
"Of course it's the most precious treasure in the world that I, Bian He, found! Tell me, where did you hide it!" The servant whipped him again and asked.
"What He Shi Bi? I didn't steal it!”Zhang Yi cried out.
"Could it be that Lord Ling Yin would wrongly accuse you?”The servant snorted coldly and asked.
"Yes, I am."
"There's actually such a stubborn person." The servant did not expect Zhang Yi to reply with a " yes " and gave him another two whips.
"We can't fight anymore." Zhang Yi said angrily. He, a scholar without any martial arts, could not withstand these few attacks.
"If you don't confess, I'll cut off your tongue!”The servant said fiercely.
"Eh? Uh…uh!"
When Zhang Yi heard this, he was instantly frightened. His eyes turned white and he fainted.
"You can't fight?" The servant gave Zhang Yi two more lashes symbolically and found that Zhang Yi really did not have any reaction.
At this moment, another servant ran in."Alright, stop fighting. Just drag him out of the city and find a place to throw him away.”
"Aren't we interrogating him?" The servant holding the whip asked curiously.
"Interrogate what? That piece of jade was actually taken back by the ruler but Lord Yin didn't know and thought it was stolen.”The servant waved his hand and said.
"What? Then wouldn't this person have been beaten up for nothing?" The servant was dumbfounded, and the whip fell to the ground.
"Don't worry, Lord Yin won't punish you. This Zhang Yi had come to the Yin Manor to swindle food and drink without any money. Even if he didn't steal jade today, he would steal something tomorrow. Quickly throw him out of the city and go get his reward.”The servant waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Oh! Good!"
When the servant heard that there was a reward, he did not care about Zhang Yi anymore. He grabbed a bamboo mat and wrapped Zhang Yi up. He tied him up with a rope and dragged him all the way out of the city, throwing him into the snow outside the city.
"Chu, oh Chu, you're still so unreasonable.”
Li Xiang walked on the snowy ground and looked at Zhang Yi, who was covered in wounds. He shook his head silently.
At this moment, a beautiful woman ran over from afar and happened to notice Zhang Yi in the snow.
"Eh? Why is there someone here?"
The Chu woman hopped over and was shocked when she saw Zhang Yi in the snow.
"Hmm? There was another one standing there, dressed in white.”
Chu Yu was just about to walk up to see if the person on the ground was still breathing when she suddenly discovered Li Xiang's existence and was shocked again.
"You know him?"
Lady Chu pointed at Zhang Yi who was lying on the ground and asked Li Xiang carefully.
Seeing Li Xiang nod his head, Lady Chu walked up to Zhang Yi and exclaimed,""Wow, you're covered in injuries. You didn't hit me, right?”
"It was your Chu Country's magistrate who sent people to beat him up.”Li Xiang shook his head.
"Is it that old man Zhao Yang?" Lady Chu exclaimed and looked at Zhang Yi again with eyes full of sympathy.
Zhao Yang, the magistrate of the Chu Country, was the person with the highest authority in the Chu Country after the King of Chu.
The magistrate was in charge of internal affairs and external wars. It was similar to the official position of the Great Liang Zao in the Qin country.
It could be said that if Zhao Yang said that a person killed someone in Chu, then that person definitely had to kill someone.
At the thought of this, Maid Chu walked forward and squatted down, shaking Zhang Yi.""Hey, are you still alive? Wake up! Wake up!"
" Phew…Phew…" Zhang Yi opened his eyes in a daze after being shaken awake." Phew? Beauty?"
"Alright, your mind is clear." Chu Yu chuckled and said.
"Is…is my tongue still there?" Zhang Yi suddenly remembered the servant who said that he wanted to cut off his tongue before he fainted. He hurriedly asked while sticking out his tongue.
"Let me see? I'm here." Chu Yu leaned forward and said.
" That's good... that's good..." Zhang Yi knew that his tongue was still there, so he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"How did you get beaten up like this?" Although Chu Yu had learned about the situation from Li Xiang, her vigilance made her choose to confirm it with him.
"I also want to know why I was hung on the beam and whipped…Why are there so many guests here, but they only accused me of stealing the jade…"
The more Zhang Yi thought about it, the angrier he became. He struggled to sit up and asked Chu Li,""Do I look like a thief?"
Lady Chu took a step back and sized up Zhang Yi. Then, she compared him to Li Xiang, who looked like a gentleman, and replied,""Hard to say."
Zhang Yi was furious when he heard that. He looked shifty at everyone! Your Majesty is fatuous, and your subjects are greedy!"
"Hahahaha, that's right, that's right!" When Chu woman heard Zhang Yi's scolding, she laughed instead of getting angry.
"I'm not an escaped prisoner slave. I'm a famous Wei celebrity who was accused by Yin Zhaoyang of stealing jade!”Zhang Yi stood up and realized that the woman in front of him was dressed beautifully. He was afraid that he would really be misunderstood, so he explained.
"Oh, I know. This little brother told me.”Maid Chu nodded and pointed behind Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi turned around and saw that it was the person he met in the mansion. He didn't expect that the person he met by chance would follow him all the way here. He wasn't afraid of Zhao Yang's difficulties at all. He immediately had a good impression of her.
"I'm really sorry for letting brother see Zhang Yi in such a sorry state.”Zhang Yi patted the snow and dust off his body and bowed to Li Xiang.
"It's fine. It's snowing heavily. Why don't we find a place to rest first?”Li Xiang walked forward and said.
"No, there's no place for me in Chu anymore.”
Zhang Yi knew that he was a thief who stole jade in Chu. If he stayed, Zhao Yang might kill Zhang Yi to silence him for fear that his reputation would be contaminated. He decisively rejected Li Xiang.
"Hey, where are you going?" Seeing Zhang Yi turn around and leave, Chu Yu asked loudly.
"The world!"
Zhang Yi said boldly. However, due to his injuries and weak body, he fainted again after taking two steps.
"The world? Heh."
Chu Yu shrugged helplessly.
"My house is nearby. Since you know this guy, come with me.”Chu girl said to Bai Shun, then picked up the bamboo mat that Zhang Yi was wrapped in, tied him up again, and dragged him towards the forest.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" Li Xiang followed him and asked.
"There's nothing I can do about it if you're a bad person. I won't resist on the account that you look okay.”This Chu woman was also bold and unrestrained. She turned around and glanced at Li Xiang before shrugging her shoulders.
"Forget it. I'm not interested in you at all.”Li Xiang shivered and decisively cut off all possibilities.
"Tch, then what did you say? Come, help me throw this guy onto the couch in the room.”Lady Chu said to Li Xiang as she kicked open the door of a wooden house.
Li Xiang had no choice but to kick the bamboo mat. The bamboo mat flew up and Zhang Yi was thrown out. He landed on the wooden couch. His fancy actions stunned Chu Yu.
