Chapter 144

Heaven Question was the sword of the Qin King, but it was bestowed upon Su Xuan by Ying Zheng.

This contained a very deep meaning, meaning that Ying Zheng's favor for Su Xuan exceeded their imagination.

This person, Su Xuan, seemed to have unique means. Back in Han, the King of Han also favored him greatly, even confronting Ji Ji Wuye for him and abolishing Emerald Tiger.

After Su Xuan went to Qin and defected to Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng also favored him in every way.

This kind of ability was not something ordinary people could learn.

This made Wei Zhuang think of Han Fei beside him. If Han Fei had such means back then, when he first returned to his country, how could he not even be able to secure the position of Siku?

After a fleeting thought, Wei Zhuang's eyes became firm again.

So what if Su Xuan possessed the Heaven Question, the sword ranked first in the world's sword manual?

Today, he must take this grain away.

Whether this grain could be transported back to Han meant whether the chaos in Han could be calmed. If the chaos could not be calmed, given the ambition shown by Qin now, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the entire Han.

Wei Zhuang's body jumped up suddenly, leaping from horseback, and rushed toward Su Xuan. The Shark Tooth in his hand waved, and the crimson sword light swept out. In an instant, it turned into eight paths. Once the sword was drawn, it derived eight changes.

Between the false and the real, there was only a moment left for people to react. If one could not accurately identify what was real and what was false in this moment, they would be buried under this sword.

This was the strongest killing move of the Ghost Valley Horizontal Sword lineage—Horizontal Crossing Eight Directions!

Wei Zhuang knew that Su Xuan's strength was unfathomable, and if he wanted to confront Su Xuan, this was the only move.

Under the Horizontal Crossing Eight Directions, eight sword lights shrouded Su Xuan.

Su Xuan's expression did not change. He waved the Heaven Question sword in his hand, and the eight sword lights vanished simultaneously. Then, the black sword light fell on Wei Zhuang. Even though Wei Zhuang tried his best to defend with the Shark Tooth, this sword was too fast, so fast that Wei Zhuang could not react at all.

Blood sprayed and splashed, and Wei Zhuang's body flew out and slammed heavily onto the ground.

His expression was ugly, and in his eyes, there was a deep look of disbelief.

He knew Su Xuan was strong, but he did not expect him to be this strong.

It was just one sword, and he was defeated.

Xuan Xuan Jian in the Zilan Pavilion back then at least fought with Su Xuan for a while before being killed by Su Xuan, while he was defeated by Su Xuan in one sword. Did this not mean that he was still inferior to Xuan Xuan Jian now?

No, not only inferior to Xuan Xuan Jian, but also inferior to Bai Bai Yifei and Ji Ji Wuye!

In Wei Zhuang's mind, the scenes of Su Xuan fighting others flashed by. The more he thought, the more uncomfortable he felt.

He only ignored one thing, and that was the progress of Su Xuan's strength.

Su Xuan now, his strength, compared to when he was in Xinzheng, had progressed I don't know how much.

Holding the Heaven Question and defeating Wei Zhuang with one sword, Su Xuan looked at Han Fei on horseback again.

"Young Master Han Fei, will you come down yourself, or should I invite you down?"

Han Fei's expression changed repeatedly, and finally, he came down from horseback himself.

He was not Wei Zhuang, who could still resist. He had no strength to truss a chicken. If he chose to confront Su Xuan, he would suffer a big loss, which would be counterproductive.

Han Fei took the initiative to come down from horseback.

Su Xuan took action again, assisting the people of the Night Curtain to kill the remaining people of the Iron and Blood Alliance.

The grain that Han Fei had spent so much effort to borrow from Wei fell into Su Xuan's hands just like that. Also falling into Su Xuan's hands were two captives, Han Fei and Wei Zhuang.

Although Su Xuan said earlier that for the sake of old friends, he allowed them to return to Han.

But Wei Zhuang chose to take action against Su Xuan, so Su Xuan could only change his mind and imprison these two people for a while.

After all, Han Fei was too smart.

Letting him return to Han, who knew what kind of ideas he could come up with to resolve this crisis in Han. After thinking about it, Su Xuan felt that he could not take this risk.

After imprisoning Wei Zhuang and Han Fei, although the other members of Quicksand were also outstanding in wisdom, especially Zhang Liang, who would be called the Sage of Strategy in the future, Zhang Liang was too immature now, and Zinu's strategy was not as good as Han Fei's, and her martial arts were not as good as Wei Zhuang's. Although very balanced, they were destined not to make any waves.

The Crown Prince of Han and many ministers had received Han Fei's letter early on. To be precise, after borrowing the grain, Han Fei sent a letter to stabilize the hearts of the monarch and ministers of Han.

Although the borrowed grain still had to be bought with money in the end, compared to the high grain prices in the country, the grain in Wei was too cheap. At this time, being able to buy such cheap grain to resolve the crisis in the country was already a piece of good news in misfortune.

The Crown Prince of Han would not be stingy with the money in the national treasury.

In the court, he and many ministers waited for Han Fei's return. The grain price in the country had evolved from changing three times a day to changing five times a day, and even the grain after five changes was in short supply. If Han Fei did not return, something might happen.

"Urgent report from the border!"

Just at this time, an urgent report from the border was suddenly sent to the court.

The Crown Prince of Han sitting on the throne and the many ministers below thought that the Qin army had finally crossed the border and taken action against Han, which made them terrified.

However, after figuring out that this urgent report came from the Han-Wei border, not the Qin-Han border, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"It must be that the Ninth Young Master went to Wei to borrow grain and has successfully returned!" Zhang Kaidi guessed.

The Crown Prince of Han also nodded in agreement.

Many ministers thought this urgent report was good news.

Only Ji Ji Yihu had an ugly expression. During this period, he made a lot of money. If Han Fei really brought back those low-priced grains, it would greatly affect his making money.

Earlier, listening to the Raincoat Guest's advice, he sent the Night Curtain to intercept Han Fei. Looking at it now, the Night Curtain failed.

The Crown Prince of Han hurriedly opened this urgent report from the border. After seeing the content clearly, his expression changed greatly again.

"How could..."

The content was that Han Fei went to Wei to borrow grain, and when transporting the grain back, he encountered an attack by bandits. The grain was hijacked, and Han Fei was also missing, suspected of being hijacked by thieves.

In order to successfully transport this batch of grain back, the Crown Prince of Han had ordered the border army to wait at the border early to pick up the grain. As a result, he did not expect that on the way from Wei to the border of Han, something happened to the grain.
