Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 721 Han Fei’s Tribulation
  Not far from the Imperial Master's Mansion is Zilanxuan, which opened again in Xianyang.

It was still broad daylight, Zilanxuan was closed, and Zinu was watering the flowers.

The journey from Xinzheng to Xianyang was too long, and transplanting was not practical. Zinu could only reluctantly give up the flower garden she had cultivated for many years and build a brand new one in Zilanxuan in Xianyang.

Her precious flowers are not easy to cultivate and must be taken care of carefully every day.

As for why you don't just buy the finished product...it's pointless to spend money on the process and satisfaction of cultivating it by hand.

"Zi Nu is in charge." Mo Crow floated down into the courtyard of Zi Lanxuan and greeted Zi Nu who was watering the flowers.

Hearing the sound, Zi Nu turned around with a kettle in hand and frowned, "Mo Crow? What do you want from me?"

Mo Ya clasped his fists and said, "We have something to discuss, and it has something to do with the Ninth Young Master."

When Zi Nu heard this, she put down the kettle, her brows could not help but tighten, and she immediately guessed the whole story, "What about King An of Han ceding territory and becoming a vassal?"

Mo Crow nodded.

Seeing this, Zi Nu couldn't help but sigh, "Han Fei..."

Since coming to Xianyang, Zi Nu has not forgotten her identity as the founder of Liusha, and began to vigorously develop Liusha's power in Qin.

However, although the quicksand is still there, the purpose is no longer the same as before.

In the past, Quicksand was a force organization rooted in South Korea, aiming to strengthen South Korea and annex the world.

However, after the leader Han Fei was forced to leave South Korea, the foundation of Liusha was destroyed, and Liusha could only barely survive in South Korea. Liusha's goals naturally changed.

The most obvious one is that matters in South Korea have begun to be given up little by little.

Zi Nu and other founders began to shift their focus to other countries, and the current focus was naturally Qin.

Therefore, Zi Nu had already known about Han Wangan's death-seeking behavior, but did not pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, Han Fei still couldn't let go and was obsessed with the meaningless attempt to save the nation.

Mo Ya went on to explain, "From what I see, all the attempts made by the Ninth Young Master are unlikely to change the occurrence of the cession of territory in South Korea. On the contrary, I am afraid that they will leave a root of trouble and cause a big disaster."

"I don't know how Zi Nu, the head of the family, thinks we should handle this matter now?"

Zi Nu, who owns Zi Lan Xuan, an excellent place to obtain information, is clearly aware of Han Fei's current situation.

He had been criticized by many courtiers, and Gu Xunzai could help him suppress some of his voices. But now that Guxun has entered Shu, the situation in the court has further declined, and Han Fei's situation is already in danger.

But relying on Ying Zheng's partiality and Gu Xun's reputation, he could barely gain a foothold.

If he were to get involved in something that was extremely sensitive to him, such as South Korea's cession of territory and surrender, his life would be in danger.

Especially the incident involving Concubine Yan made the relationship between Gu Xun and Qin somewhat tense, and Han Fei was naturally affected as well.

What Ying Zheng is thinking now... no one can be sure.

After having a headache for a moment, Zi Nu could only say to Mo Ya, "Let me go back and talk to Han Fei about this first."

"But... you have to make some preparations in advance. I'm afraid the situation will not develop as expected."

Mo Ya nodded, "I understand."

Zi Nu then asked again, "Have you informed Gu Xun about this?"

"I've sent an urgent message to sir. If nothing else happens, he should receive it tomorrow at the latest." Mo Ya replied.

Zi Nu sighed softly, "Tomorrow... I'm afraid I won't have time to wait for his reply."

Mo Crow didn't comment on this, and he didn't know if it was too late, but his mission was clear. "Nothing will happen to the life of the ninth young master." Mo Ya said firmly.

Zi Nu glanced at him, nodded and said, "Let's see if I can persuade him."

"If it really doesn't work...Qin is not easy to deal with, then we have no choice but to attack Han Fei."

Mo Ya didn't answer this sentence.

Han Fei is Gu Xun's friend. As a subordinate, he cannot decide how to deal with the other party at will, let alone make any comments at will.

Of course, if Zi Nu gives him an order, then he must obey it.

Mo Ya clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll wait for the news about Zi Nu's headship. I'll take my leave."

Zi Nu nodded as a signal.

Mo Crow left immediately.

Then Zi Nu hurriedly left Zi Lan Xuan and headed towards the Imperial Master's Mansion, intending to find Han Fei.

………………

Zhangtai Palace, in Ying Zheng's study.

Zhao Gao is not in the study at the moment, and even Gai Nie, who has been guarding Ying Zheng, is not here. Instead, he is replaced by Guo Wei Liao, the head of Qin's military attache.

Wearing a loose robe, he sat under Ying Zheng and briefly reported Han Fei's actions to Ying Zheng.

After Ying Zheng heard what he said, he closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then asked:
  "What do you think of Han Fei?"

Wei Liao pondered for a moment and commented, "Normally, he keeps a low profile in the court and is taciturn. However, the few times the king came to see him, he was able to handle the problem neatly and beautifully, which shows his ability. for."

"In addition, in his articles such as "Five Worms", the reasoning is clear, the arguments are well-founded, the words are sharp, pertinent, and the principles of legalism are profound. It can be said that he is an out-and-out legal scholar."

"I am afraid that no one in this world can surpass the Legalist way."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but nodded in agreement and sighed softly, "Yeah..."

"When I first read "Five Beetles", I decided that he was a great talent. Only he can truly help me to promote the royal way in my heart to the world. It's a pity...such a talented person, but his heart is never in our country..."

"I have given him many opportunities, but unfortunately he only remembers South Korea."

"How do you think I should treat him?"

Wei Liao was not surprised by the topic raised by Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng had previously ordered him to pay attention to Han Fei - paying attention to Han Fei's movements at the point when South Korea was ceding territory and surrendering, undoubtedly represented Ying Zheng's intention to take action against Han Fei.

From Wei Liao's point of view, there are two reasons for this.

One lies in Guxun, the national teacher, and the other lies in Han Fei himself.

The actions of Gu Xun, the national master, in forcibly protecting the Yin Yang family's east master, had angered the king Ying Zheng, and the actions of Han Fei, Gu Xun's close friend, could be regarded as a warning.

But this is only part of the incidental reasons. The real core is that Han Fei is a legal expert, a legal expert who cannot be used by the King of Qin or the State of Qin.

Ying Zheng gave him many opportunities to change, but Han Fei refused to accept them and remained loyal to his mother country.

And now South Korea is Qin's flesh and blood, and sooner or later it will be swallowed completely. What will happen to Han Fei then?

Because your family and country are destroyed, you have completely given up and are willing to join Qin?
  Or feel resentful, turn to other countries, and spare no effort to target the culprits who destroyed his home country?
  Or are you completely disheartened, retreating into the mountains and forests, and ignoring worldly affairs?
