If the death of the Crown Prince made the King of Han furious, then when the envoy of the Qin Country died in the Han Country, the King of Han felt fear in his heart.
Even though the Qin State had experienced two short-lived monarchs, Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Zhuang Xiang, and even King Zhao of Qin in his later years had lost his mind and severely consumed the strength of the Qin State.
Even though the new king of Qin State had yet to crown himself, most of the state affairs were still handled by Lu Buwei, Marquis of Wenxin. Earlier, there was even the incident of Chang 'an Jun Chengjiao rebelling against his superiors.
However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. No matter how chaotic the Qin country's political situation was, it was not something that the Han country could provoke.
Being weak meant that one would be bullied. Without a doubt, against the Qin country, the Han country was the weak one.
Many of the bones left behind from the battle of Changping were still exposed in the old land of Changping. Even now, they still showed the cruelty of that battle and the terror of the Qin country.
And that battle happened during his father's reign. It could even be said that that battle itself was inextricably linked to the Han country.
When Han Wangan was young, he happened to experience that shocking battle. Although he did not personally witness the bloody scene of Changping Battlefield, when the news of that battle spread back to the country, he could still remember his father's fear.
Therefore, ever since he ascended the throne, even though the Qin country had experienced two generations of short-lived rulers and the court was in turmoil, the Han country had never taken the initiative to provoke the Qin country. They still played the role of a weakling and lived under the nose of the Qin country.
But today, the envoy of Qin Country had died in Han Country.
No matter who killed him or what their motives were, there was no doubt that Han would have to take the blame.
He had finally made up his mind with great difficulty to get rid of Tian Ze and the other wanted criminals and seek justice for his son. However, he did not expect that Tian Ze would bring him such a huge problem before he could even find trouble with Tian Ze.
What made Han Wangan even more despairing was that just two days after the Qin envoy was killed, before the Bai Yue Assassins who killed the Qin envoy had been arrested, he heard a servant report that the new envoy of Qin had arrived at the border of Han and was about to come to Xinzheng to seek justice for the previous envoy.
Putting aside the reason why the new envoy of the Qin Country acted so quickly, it was as if he had long known that the envoy stationed in Han Country would be killed, and he had already set off in advance. No matter what intentions the other party had, how to deal with the upcoming aggressiveness of the Qin Country, it made the King of Han feel anxious and uneasy.
……
Violet Orchid Pavilion.
Early in the morning, Bai Su sat alone in his room. He picked up the fragrant tea on the table, put it to his mouth, and sniffed it. Then, he slowly took a sip.
Feeling the gentle breeze blowing in through the window, the corners of his mouth could not help but reveal a trace of a satisfied smile.
He liked to rest in this kind of atmosphere. It could relax his heart and make him feel more comfortable and calm.
Just as Bai Su was enjoying his leisure time, the half-closed door was pushed open and a handsome and unruly young man walked in.
"Martial Uncle is really in a good mood. Unlike me, I don't even have the time to take a break.”
As he spoke, he went to the other side of the table and sat down.
Bai Su glanced at Han Fei and said,""I don't think it's because you don't have time, but because you spend all your time on the wine table.”
Han Fei smiled and said,""Without the accompaniment of good wine, no matter how leisurely the time is, it will feel like a year.”
Bai Su also knew the other party's personality of being addicted to alcohol, so he didn't say much.
Then, he asked,"Did you catch Tian Ze for the assassination of the Qin Envoy?"”
"Not yet. However, we accidentally caught another person called the Hundred Poison King. It seems that he came out to pick herbs and was discovered by the patrolling city guards.”Han Fei shook his head.
"Even though you guys didn't manage to catch Tian Ze, the mastermind, but you managed to catch the Hundred Poison King, so you can be considered to have barely passed the test.”
"However, the one you need to be most wary of this time is still the Qin country. The Qin envoy has just died, and the Qin army has already deployed their troops at the border. It is obvious that this is premeditated.”Bai Su reminded Han Fei.
At this moment, another person rushed in.
"Brother Han is indeed here."
As soon as Zhang Liang entered the door, he saw Han Fei talking to Bai Su.
"What is the matter with Zifang looking for me?"
Han Fei asked.
Zhang Liang cupped his hands slightly at Bai Su, then went straight to the point,""The newly appointed envoy of the Qin State has already arrived in Xinzheng. He has been arranged to stay in the posthouse and will be meeting the king tomorrow morning.”
Hearing this, Han Fei couldn't help but ask,""Who is the emissary of Qin?"
"The Chief Envoy is Li Si. He has just entered the court and is said to be Lu Buwei's trusted aide.”
Han Fei paused for a moment and then chuckled.""I didn't expect us to meet under such circumstances. Since Li Si is the envoy, I'm afraid there will be trouble this time.”
"Does Brother Han recognize this person?"
Zhang Liang asked.
Han Fei replied, Not only do we know each other, but we also stayed together in the Small Saint Manor for several years.”
"Could it be…" Zhang Liang asked.
" Master Xun has two last disciples," Han Fei said." Besides me, there's another one, Li Si."”
Zhang Liang nodded his head lightly. He also understood, and his expression became a little solemn.
As the saying goes, a great teacher produces an outstanding disciple. He knew very well that Han Fei was a talent of a certain country, and few in the seven countries could compare with him.
As his junior brother, Li Si was not an ordinary person even if he was not as talented as the two of them.
The State of Qin was exceptionally powerful to begin with. Adding on such a troublesome character, the matter this time would probably be even more difficult to handle.
Han Fei took a deep breath. There had been a lot of problems recently.
It was already difficult enough to fight against the night, and now there was the problem of Envoy Qin and Li Si. It was a headache.
After adjusting his state of mind, he instructed the maid outside the room to inform Wei Zhuang and Violet Maiden to come over for a chat.。
He still needed to discuss these matters with Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu to come up with a countermeasure…
Early the next morning, in the palace of King Han.
The King of Han sat on the throne, and the officials were lined up on the left and right sides. They stood neatly, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
"The envoy of the Qin country, Li Si, is here!"
A young man walked in unhurriedly. It was Li Si.
He was dressed in a black formal suit and held the messenger's scepter that symbolized his status. He walked into the hall step by step.
"I crossed the bridge and passed through the west gate to enter Xinzheng. It was extremely lively there and no one seemed to remember it. The previous envoy of the Qin country was killed there.”
Li Si said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Han Country has always treated Qin with courtesy.”Han Wangan said.
Li Si continued," Qin sent an envoy to invite him, but he was assassinated outside Xinzheng. Han's defense was not good enough. Is this the so-called etiquette?"”
"The Yue bandits are causing trouble. We will definitely do our best to capture the culprit.”Ji Wuye replied.
Li Si questioned," Tian Ze invaded the palace and kidnapped the Crown Prince and the Princess. The Princess was safe and sound, but the Crown Prince still died. It seems like the all-out effort that General Ji mentioned sounds like an excuse for not being able to do anything to Tian Ze.”
