Early the next morning, the King of Han gathered all the officials and held a court meeting to welcome Qin Envoy Li Si.
"The envoy of the Qin country, Li Si, is here to see you."
As the palace attendant shouted, everyone in the hall became serious. They glanced at the road in the middle of the hall from the corner of their eyes.
"Da, da…"
Dressed in a gray robe, Li Si held the Messenger's Scepter as he walked to the front of the officials.
The sound of the messenger's scepter hitting the ground was like a death knell, exploding in everyone's hearts.
a weak country has no diplomatic relations.
Korea's weakness was known throughout the world.
Even when facing Li Si, a visitor who had just been conferred by the King of Qin, he was extremely timid.
This was because behind Li Si was the most powerful country in the world, Great Qin.
"I crossed the bridge and entered Xinzheng through the west gate.”
"No one seems to remember that the previous envoy of Great Qin was assassinated there.”
Li Si stood before the throne. Although his tone was calm, it carried a sharp aura.
In the main hall, the expressions of all the officials changed.
On the throne, Han Wangan clenched his right hand that was hidden in his sleeve. His heart was filled with helplessness.
"Korea has always treated Qin with courtesy.”
Li Si laughed and looked around with a proud expression.
"All the diplomatic relations between the vassals are based on the annual greetings, the Yin betrothal, and the generations.”
"The Qin country followed the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty and sent an envoy to invite them, but Korea did not fulfill its responsibility to protect them. Is this the etiquette that Korea treats the Qin country?”
"The Bai Yue remnants are good at using yao arts. We will definitely do our best to capture the culprit.”
Ji Wuye frowned and said coldly.
"Humph."
Li Si sneered and walked up to Ji Wuye, staring at him.
"Tian Ze invaded the palace and kidnapped the Crown Prince and Princess. Although the Princess was saved, the Crown Prince still lost his life.”
"Great General Ji's all-out effort to resolve it sounds like an excuse to not be able to do anything to Tian Ze.”
At this point, Li Si turned to Han Wangan and slammed the Messenger's Scepter on the ground.
"If Korea is unable to destroy Tian Ze alone, the Great Qin Cavalry are willing to lend a helping hand.”
"That's why we gathered troops at the border and prepared to attack.”
"What?"
The hall fell silent.
Han Wangan's expression was ugly as he clenched his fists tightly. He was filled with endless anger, but he did not dare to vent it on Li Si.
"Of course, South Korea will solve their own problems.”
At this moment, the blood-robed Marquis Baiyifei spoke, his long and narrow eyes filled with a cold light.
"The Qin army came without an invitation and met with a war. Helping is fake, but I'm afraid it's true that they turned against the host.”
"Right now, the Chu Country is eyeing them like a tiger eyeing its prey. If Qin and Han start a war, it will undoubtedly be a fight between snipes and clams.”
Li Si didn't think much of it. How could it be so easy for Chu to participate in the war?
"The envoy was assassinated in Han. If the Qin country is indifferent, the people of the world will think that the Qin country can be bullied.”
"When I came, the King left two choices for the King of Han.”
"Firstly, capture the culprit who killed the Qin envoy and hand him over to Great Qin.”
"Secondly, the King of Han will personally enter Xianyang to show his sincerity.”
"If you choose one of the two options, Great Qin will let bygones be bygones.”
"You want me to enter Xianyang?"
On the throne, Han Wangan's heart trembled. Just thinking about it made him shudder.
The fate of King Huai of Chu was still fresh in his mind, so how could the King of Han dare to take the risk himself?
"Ninth Brother."
He turned his eyes to the Ninth Son, Han Fei, who was deep in thought in the hall, and called out.
"Your son is here."
Han Fei stepped out and bowed to King Han.
"You are the commander of Korea. It is your duty to capture the murderer.”
"Tell me yourself, how many days will it take to capture Tian Ze?”
Han Wangan directly pushed the blame to Han Fei and ordered him to give a specific deadline.
"How many days do you need?"
Han Fei smiled bitterly in his heart. If the Black Ice Guards didn't let him go, he wouldn't be able to catch him even if he died.
The Qin country was clearly going to tear off a big piece of fat meat from Korea.
"Father, your son needs ten days.”Han Fei said.
He did not intend to reveal the details. To resolve this undeserved disaster, he had to get a breakthrough from Li Si.
Otherwise, the Qin army will press the border and Korea will be in danger.
"Alright, I'll give you ten days.”
"If we can't catch Tian Ze, I will hold you responsible.”
"What do you think, Envoy Qin?" King Han said to Li Si.
"In that case, we'll set a time limit of ten days."
"In ten days, if I don't see the culprit, everyone, prepare to welcome Great Qin's 200,000 soldiers.”
Li Si took a deep look at Han Fei and nodded.
Senior Brother Han Fei, what will you use to convince me this time?
……
Late at night, in the palace of Korea, Madam Mingzhu's palace.
"Stabilize Han Wangan for now. Don't let him cause any trouble.”
"I have a bad feeling in my heart. Something big might happen in the next few days.”
In the dark room, the Blood Strike Marquis's voice rang out in the palace.
He stood by the window of the hall with a solemn expression.
Ever since the Qin envoy was killed, the situation in Korea had gone far beyond Night's control.
The Qin State's army was pressing down on the border, Tian Ze mysteriously disappeared, and yesterday, another mysterious force appeared outside Xin Zheng City.
In his heart, Baiyifei could vaguely feel that there was a huge net in the sky that had already enveloped Korea.
"Understood." Madam Ming Zhu sat in front of the dressing table, her charming voice carrying a hint of laziness.
After entering the palace for so many years, only teasing Han Wangan could arouse her interest.
The high and mighty King Han was nothing but a puppet to her, at the mercy of anyone.
Madam Ming Zhu's heart was filled with excitement just thinking about it.
"Bang…"
The sound of the window sill opening rang out. When Madam Mingzhu raised her head again, Bai Yifei had already disappeared.
"Heh, Blood Robed Marquis…"
"Someone, light the candle."
Madam Ming Zhu sneered and instructed casually.
However, no one came in even after she finished speaking.
"Cui Er? Are you outside?"
Madam Mingzhu cried out, and her heart was filled with a bad feeling. Her figure flashed, and she wanted to jump out of the window where Bai Yifei had left.
However…
"Spike…"
A cold light flashed in Madam Ming Zhu's eyes. Her body, which was about to jump, froze.
At his throat, there was a pink longsword.
Feeling the cold air coming from the sword, Madam Ming Zhu had no doubt that if she took another step forward, this beautiful head would fall to the ground instantly.
"Let's talk things out. Don't make a move.”
Madam Ming Zhu raised her hands and glanced at the owner of the sword.
It was a person wearing a salamander mask and black tight-fitting clothes. Judging from her figure, she should be a woman.
"Madam Mingzhu, the Blue Sea Tide Banshee…"
"What is your relationship with Bai Yifei?”
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in the hall. Madam Ming Zhu slowly turned around. In the darkness, she could vaguely see a tall figure.
