In the General's Mansion, Ji Wuye was chatting with Bai Yifei.
The Crown Prince's death could be said to be the most unfortunate and most damaging thing for Night.
Uh…speaking of which, Night had been constantly refreshing the lower limit recently, and now it could be considered to have reached the bottom.
Bai Yifei, who had been hiding in the manor, could no longer stay idle. He was summoned to the General's manor by Ji Wuye.
"Humph!" Ji Wuye clenched his right hand and hammered the table. He said angrily,""How preposterous! I didn't expect that when I finally managed to rescue him from Tian Ze's hands, something happened to the Crown Prince in the end!”
"Lord Marquis, who do you think is behind this?”
Bai Yifei's face darkened. With the death of the Crown Prince, his loss was the same as Ji Wuye's. Both of them had lost the best way to ascend to the throne.
"To be able to do things to such a degree, it is only possible to bribe the Imperial Army that protects the Crown Prince. Who else could it be?”" Fourth Young Master Han Yu," Bai Yifei replied in a cold voice.”
All the young masters, including the Crown Prince, were protected by Han Wangan's personal guards, the Imperial Army. The personnel would be replaced every once in a while, and no one else could intervene and bribe them, not even a Great General like Ji Wuye. Other than Han Wangan himself, only other young masters could bribe such imperial guards.
They were the only people who could be in contact with him for a relatively long period of time. However, due to the high turnover of personnel, in order to ensure that the Crown Prince would die at the critical moment, they had to bribe a large number of Imperial Army soldiers. This required a large amount of manpower, resources, and time. Among the young masters of the Royal Family, only Han Yu could do it.
Han Fei didn't have enough time to make arrangements.
Ji Wuye could not figure out all these twists and turns, but he had a general idea. The person who was most suspicious of him was Han Yu. Hearing Baiyifei's certainty, he immediately hammered the table again." Damn it, this Han Yu..."
After all, Bai Yifei was better at keeping his cool than Ji Wuye. At this moment, he suppressed the anger and unwillingness in his heart and reminded him in a deep voice," General, now that the Crown Prince is dead, it's not wise to dwell on a dead person. What we should consider is... who will become the Crown Prince next?"”
Ji Wuye was stunned. He had been so muddled by the death of the Crown Prince that he had forgotten to consider this.
After losing the Crown Prince who was completely at their mercy, Night wanted to ensure that he could continue to lord it over the Han Kingdom. He had to build a good relationship with the next Crown Prince. Of course, it would be even better if he could control the other party.
Seeing that Ji Wuye had sobered up a little, Bai Yifei continued," The late Queen gave birth to four children in total: the Crown Prince, the Fourth Young Master, the Ninth Young Master, and Princess Hong Lian. The rest were all concubines. Now that the Crown Prince is dead, the most likely candidates to succeed the throne are the Fourth Young Master and the Ninth Young Master.”
Ji Wuye's anger, which had subsided a little, rose again. He did not want to talk to either of the two people that Bai Yifei mentioned.
However…he had to choose one. Otherwise, he would have to think of a way to get rid of both of them so that Han Wangan could choose a bastard son.
However, if he did that, Han Wangan would probably not let him off. If all of his legitimate sons died, then he, the Great General, would have to die no matter what!
If he had to choose between the Fourth Young Master and the Ninth Young Master, Ji Wuye would definitely choose Han Yu.
"This Han Yu, he is certain that I can't get along with Han Fei. Only he dares to attack the Crown Prince!”Ji Wuye gritted his teeth.
Bai Yifei said," Han Fei's attitude toward Night is obvious. Unlike Han Yu, he can't tolerate Night. We must compromise with the Fourth Young Master.”
Ji Wuye's face turned green and then white. It didn't feel good to be scammed by someone and still have to rush to work with them.
However, Bai Yifei was right. Han Yu was a politician who put interests first. If Night could help him, he would be willing to support Night, just like how Ji Wuye helped Han Wangan, who was still the Crown Prince. Han Fei, on the other hand, was different.
……
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon, Xinzheng's capital city, west of the outer gate, ten miles west.
Han Country's prime minister, Zhang clan's fifth prime minister. Their Zhang clan had long become synonymous with Han Country's prime minister, sharing weal and woe with the Han royal family.
Five generations of the Zhang family had served as the prime minister of Han Country and witnessed the rise and fall of Han Country.
In this generation, the Kingdom of Han grew older and became the weakest of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. The number of soldiers that could fight in the entire country was only 150,000 to 160,000.
As the saying goes, weak countries have no diplomatic relations.
In terms of diplomatic relations between the seven countries, the Han country had always been in a state of being bullied.
For example, now, as the prime minister of Han Country, Zhang Kai Di personally led the honor guard out of the city to welcome the emissary sent by Qin Country to Han Country.
Not only that, Zhang Kai had to come out of the city to welcome them in advance and had been waiting for them for an hour.
He had clearly calculated the time and roughly agreed on the time and place to meet with the envoy of the State of Qin. In the end, the other party was "late" by an hour, making him wait for a long time.
At this moment, a soldier reined in his horse and reported,""Reporting to Lord Prime Minister, the envoy from Qin Country has arrived.”
When Zhang Kai heard this, his face sank as he waved his hand and said,""The guards of honor raise the flag to welcome the emissary of the Qin country.”
"Yes." The guards of honor behind him received the order.
Soon, a troop of armored soldiers and a carriage slowly walked over. The first thing they saw was a black dragon flag. It was the black dragon flag of the State of Qin, a flag that made the six Eastern countries fearful.
Hundreds of armored guards stood on both sides. The messenger's carriage rolled forward and stopped a hundred feet away from the opening.
There was a moment of silence. The envoy of Qin State did not get off his horse. Everything was silent. The hundreds of armored soldiers were silent. A breeze blew in the forest, making it especially quiet.
Taking a deep breath, he opened his fist and said,""The Prime Minister of Han Country has come to welcome the envoy of Qin Country.”
There was no response from the Qin envoy.
Zhang Kaidi was furious. Qin was a big country, a tiger and wolf country with millions of soldiers. Qinchuan was the strongest country in the world with a mighty army.
He took a deep breath in his heart and said calmly,""The Prime Minister of Han Country has come to welcome the envoy of Qin Country.”
There was still no reaction.
The centurion of the State of Qin realized that something was wrong. According to his understanding, the envoy was not an arrogant person. Instead, he was modest and polite. He had once studied at Jixia Academy in the State of Qi and was half a Confucian student.
The centurion stopped the carriage and whispered,""Mr. Envoy, Mr. Zhang, the Prime Minister of Han Country, has arrived.”
There was still no reaction, and the centurion had a bad feeling.
At this moment, blood was flowing out of the carriage, flowing near the carriage's axis. The centurion cried out in alarm and lifted the curtain."Lord Envoy!"
The centurion lifted the curtain to take a look and was completely stunned. The envoy who was originally fine had long died. His eyes widened and blood flowed from his seven orifices. His face was filled with fear as if he had been poisoned to death.
When Zhang Kai saw this, he was shocked.”
The Qin envoy died in the Han Kingdom, in the territory of the Han Kingdom. No matter what, the Han Kingdom had to take the blame and give the Qin Kingdom's cavalry an explanation.
"Hahaha…"
Tian Ze was already standing on top of the carriage, six snake skull chains swaying in the wind, wisps of dark black True Qi revolving around him. He wore ragged clothes, had long azure blue hair, a slender and fit figure, and a pair of light red snake eyes.
"The envoy of the Qin country died in the Han country. Let's see how you can explain to the Qin country?”
Tian Ze laughed loudly, extremely proud of his own masterpiece.
Whether it was Night or Han Wangan, they had to give Qin a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, with Qin's iron cavalry at the city gates, Han would be in danger and fall in a matter of days.
"Quickly, quickly capture and kill this man."”
As long as they could take down Tian Ze, this murderer in front of everyone, they would at least give half of the explanation.
" Ka ka ka…" The sounds of gears firing rang out continuously. Three hundred soldiers and a hundred archers shot out arrows like rain, flying through the sky and shooting straight for Tian Ze.
Tian Ze laughed loudly,"Hahaha, you should keep your bows and crossbows to deal with the Qin cavalry."”
"Rumble…"
The powerful zhenqi exploded, and the six snake skull chains spun and shook, sending countless arrows flying backwards. Tian Ze's figure flashed, turning into a ball of black zhenqi and fleeing into the forest.
In the sky, clouds gathered and thunder exploded.
With a loud boom, the first drop of rain fell from the sky, followed by countless raindrops.
The centurion of Qin said coldly," Lord Zhang, this matter will be reported one by one. If you can't capture the murderer, then let my Qin cavalry enter Korea to personally capture the murderer."”
"Retreat!" With the centurion's order, the hundreds of Qin soldiers retreated.
He opened his mouth and turned around. The sky was gloomy and gloomy. His face was also solemn as he muttered to himself,"The country is in turmoil!"
