After a round of bargaining in the imperial court, Han Fei and Li Si finally made a ten-day appointment.
The envoys of the State of Qin traveled from Xianyang to Xinzheng for five days in the State of Qin and the State of Han respectively. If Han Fei could not solve the case in ten days, he would cede the land that the envoys of the State of Qin had traveled to the State of Qin.
If the case could be solved within ten days, then for every day that was brought forward, the land would be reduced by one day. If the case could be solved within five days, then for every day that was reduced, the Han Country would be able to obtain the same land from the Qin Country.
After the court session, Han Fei immediately went to the messenger's hotel to meet Li Si.
"Senior brother, long time no see. I didn't expect that our banter in the past would become a warning today.”Li Si looked at Han Fei and said meaningfully.
"After we parted in the past, I already knew that such a day would come. Now that you and I are each serving our own masters, we will see the truth.”Han Fei still looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything in the world.
Li Si smiled." Senior Brother is at a disadvantage in this match. I have a much higher chance of winning."”
Han Fei said calmly," Victory or defeat depends on a single thought. Junior Brother, how do you know that you and I won't be in the same place in the next moment?"”
Li Si looked at the two gold coins in Han Fei's hands.""Senior Brother, did you come here to play this game?”
"You'll know later." Han Fei handed Li Si one of the gold coins." You and I each have one gold coin. If it's the same face, I'll give you three gold coins. If it's both tails, I'll give you one gold; if it's heads and tails, you'll give me two gold. Eight rounds were the limit, and the one with the most gold won.”
After listening to Han Fei's explanation, Li Si smiled.""If you give me three gold coins, you'll suffer a huge loss.”
Han Fei smiled with ulterior motives.""We'll know after the competition."
After ten minutes, the eight rounds of gambling were over. Li Si looked at the number of golden leaves on both sides on the table, and Han Fei smiled smugly."Junior brother, I won by a narrow margin.”
"One more time." Li Si said.
"As you wish." Han Fei nodded happily.
A moment later, the bet was decided again. Li Si lost even more this time. He only won four gold coins from Han Fei, but Han Fei had twelve gold coins.
"It was all thanks to Junior Martial Brother's cooperation that I was able to win so much.”Han Fei smiled.
"Shidi saw through the mystery of this game early on, but he was still willing to try.”
"Hmph, Shixiong's gambling luck has always been good.”Li Si's dissatisfied expression had disappeared as he calmed himself down.
"In this gamble, it seems that the opponent has the advantage and you are at a disadvantage, but in fact, it is not the case. The key to reversing the outcome is how to use the opponent's greed.”Han Fei stood up, walked to the window, and said with his hands behind his back.
"The court is treacherous and the career path is difficult, which is exactly what Senior Brother said. However, when gambling, choose the side with a greater chance of winning. Even if you can't win, you can remain undefeated.”Li Si said.
"I heard that the Prime Minister of the Qin State, Lu Buwei, is at the peak of his power. Although the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, is already in power, he still respectfully calls Lu Buwei Zhongfu. The Prime Minister of the Qin State is at the peak of his power, but the monarch is weak.”Han Fei was hinting at something.
Li Si fell silent for a moment.
"The name of this game is called Undefeated Victory.”Han Fei said.
Li Si came back to his senses. However, life was not like gambling. There was no chance to start over.”
……
Back at Purple Orchid Pavilion, Wei Zhuang brought the latest news from the underground."I received news that the top assassin group of the State of Qin, the Eight Petites, has come to Xin Zheng to carry out some secret assassination mission.
Han Fei said solemnly," The State of Qin is a big country. The Han Kingdom is a battleground for him to attack the six countries in Shandong. Once there is any turmoil in the State of Qin, the Han Kingdom will be destroyed in an instant.”
"According to the records, the Eight Petites are the top assassin group in the State of Qin. As the name suggested, it was made up of eight people with different martial arts skills, appearances, and personalities. Rumor had it that some of them were extremely greedy and would take all the valuables every time they killed. Some even took pleasure in killing people and tortured them to death. Their corpses were too horrible to look at. A few years ago, Ying Zheng sent his half-brother Cheng Jiao to lead an army to attack Zhao. Unexpectedly, Cheng Jiao took the opportunity to rebel and fled to Zhao after failing. At that time, it was the Eight Petites who were responsible for eliminating the weeds and roots, and this group belonged to the Network Organization.”
Han Fei smiled." It seems that the Eight Petites are dispatched to hunt someone with an extremely noble status. But I can't let him succeed."”
"Last time, the target of the Eight Petites was Cheng Jiao. This time, it is clear that her status is not inferior to Cheng Jiao. Currently, there is only one person in the State of Qin. I think you should have guessed who it is.”Wei Zhuang said with a deep meaning. He felt that there was another Phantom Valley sword qi that was completely different from him approaching Xin Zheng. No, it was already in Xin Zheng.
"It seems that the person Martial Uncle is waiting for is him, right?”Han Fei asked Bai Su.
"That's right. After this matter is over, I will leave Han Country and follow them to Qin.”Bai Su said while sipping the fragrant tea.
"But how did Uncle-Master know that he would come to Han Country in advance? After all, with his status, it really shouldn't be.”Han Fei was puzzled.
"Because of you."
"Because of me?"
" Yes, it's because of your return that the current King of Qin loves the Shang Lord's Law the most. And you happen to use the Shang Lord's Law as the foundation and combine the three schools of magic, magic, and power into your Law. Therefore, the King of Qin will definitely like your Law and even come to Korea for you.”
"For me? " What a pity…" Han Fei looked out of the window. The sky in the distance was covered by dark clouds, but sunlight could shine through the gaps between the dark clouds.
On the fifth day of the agreed time, Li Si once again ascended the Han court. He held the battle axe and walked to Han Wangxie."Foreign minister Li Si greets the King of Han. The deadline is already halfway through. I wonder if the Han Kingdom has caught the murderer of our Great Qin envoy?”
Han Wangan looked at the civil and military officials of Han who were lined up neatly and looked at Han Fei.""Ninth Brother, you are in charge of this matter. Now, you will face the questions of the envoy of the Qin country.”
Han Fei said," Lord Li, why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it only half past?"”
" Hmph!" Li Si snorted coldly." Although it's only half the time, I still need to know if Han has put in any effort to catch the murderer. If there's still no progress, I can write a letter to the generals at the border and prepare to send troops to help Han."”
As soon as these words were said, the expressions of the Han officials in the court changed. The Qin army was a ferocious army, and it was impossible to avoid them. If they entered Korea under the pretext of helping to capture the murderer, who knew if it was not a plan to destroy the country? If they didn't allow it, the Qin army would use this as an excuse to start a war. The other five countries wouldn't be able to participate and might even add insult to injury.
Han Fei, however, walked to General Ji Wuye with a smile."" In fact, the murderer has been captured by the General, but the General didn't say it for Han Fei's sake. Isn't that right? Great General."
Everyone's eyes turned to Ji Wuye. Ji Wuye felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles."Han Fei, you're so good.
A drop of sweat appeared on his forehead."
