Chapter 154: The Crisis is Not Over

As the Crown Prince of Han ceded land and offered cities to eliminate the anger of the Qin Guo.

The case of the former Qin envoy being murdered was brought to a close.

Li Si, the new envoy of the Qin Guo, had completed his task, and he could not help but show joy on his face. A trip to the State of Han had exchanged a piece of territory for the Qin Guo; such a merit was clearly a great one.

And so, he, who rarely drank, took the initiative to invite Han Fei, his fellow disciple, to drink.

Unfortunately, Han Fei's mood was not high while drinking. Even though he was a veteran alcoholic, how could he be happy when he thought of the reason for Li Si's drinking?

Li Si's merit was exchanged at the cost of the land of the State of Han.

"Junior Brother Li, next time, I will definitely not lose again!"

After three rounds of drinking, Han Fei, who was slightly tipsy, looked at Li Si in front of him and said this sentence with a serious tone.

"Is that so? Then I will wait and see!"

Facing Han Fei's gaze, Li Si also responded seriously.

Li Si and Han Fei, although they were not disciples of the Guigu Zongheng school, their relationship was actually similar to that of students of the Guigu Zongheng school. From the moment they entered the school, they had been in competition at all times.

They encouraged each other.

It was so before, and it is still so now.

It took a long time.

The case of the Qin envoy being murdered was finally brought to a close.

After this case ended, Li Si, the new Qin envoy, did not stay in Xinzheng for long but embarked on the return journey.

When he learned that Li Si's carriage had left Xinzheng, the Crown Prince in the palace of the State of Han could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the Zilan Pavilion, Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, Zinu, Zhang Liang, and others gathered together.

"That person left with the Qin Wang!"

Zinu had operated in the State of Han for many years and also had her own intelligence network. This time, when the Qin envoy left, the Qin Wang and Gai Nie mixed into the mission to return just like when they came. Zinu observed for a while and found that there were two more people in the mission.

Hearing Zinu's words, everyone's expression froze.

Although the Qin Wang had once initiated a recruitment to Su Xuan after the Xuan Jian affair ended, they did not expect that Su Xuan would actually accept the Qin Wang's recruitment and choose to enter Qin.

Su Xuan had not stayed in the State of Han for long, but in this short time, the methods he displayed were memorable. Whether it was political maneuvering or strength, they were top-notch.

Such a person going to the Qin Guo and being used by the Qin Wang was not a good thing for them.

"It seems we are going to have another tricky opponent!"

Zhang Liang said in a deep voice.

His contact with Su Xuan was far less than the others here, but his familiarity with Su Xuan was not a bit less because of the others here.

Han Fei asked Zinu another question: "What about the Nightfall?"

Zinu said: "I was just about to say this."

"After Ji Yihu returned, the Nightfall organization seemed to have attached itself to Ji Yihu."

Wei Zhuang's eyes were firm, and he said: "If that person didn't lie, after Ji Wuye died, the Nightfall had already defected to him. After the Nightfall defected to him, it is clearly impossible for it to continue to attach itself to Ji Yihu."

"Does Mr. Wei Zhuang mean that the Nightfall attaching itself to Ji Yihu is based on that person's instruction?" Zhang Liang frowned.

"I am afraid so." Wei Zhuang nodded. "What we are about to face is not only that the Qin Guo has an extra powerful enemy, but the trouble we have to face in the State of Han is also not small."

"Although that person left the State of Han, he left the Nightfall behind. The Nightfall is still like a thorn, deeply stuck in the body of the State of Han, affecting the entire State of Han."

"Ji Wuye's Nightfall, and the Nightfall under that person—no, it should be said under the Qin Wang—the harm to the State of Han is completely different!"

Although earlier, the Qin Wang came to the State of Han as a king, condescending to recruit Han Fei, they once regarded the Qin Wang as a friend.

But that was the Qin Wang when he was in the State of Han.

Once the other party returned to the Qin Guo, the Qin Wang was no longer their friend, but a powerful enemy they were about to face.

The Qin Wang had ambition and ability.

If he controlled the war chariot of the Qin Guo, could the State of Han be spared from chaos?

While Han Fei and the others were thinking about this question.

Su Xuan took Yan Lingji and followed the mission led by Li Si, embarking on the road to the Qin Guo.

Although he controlled the Nightfall organization, this time Su Xuan did not think about taking the Nightfall to the Qin Guo.

The Nightfall was an organization that Ji Wuye had spent many years developing and growing. The foundation of the organization was all in the State of Han. If he abandoned the foundation of the State of Han and turned to the Qin Guo, although the Nightfall would still be that Nightfall, its strength would clearly be greatly damaged.

Therefore, rather than thinking about taking the Nightfall to the Qin Guo, it was better to let it stay in the State of Han and absorb the nutrients of this country.

Even with this nail of the Nightfall existing, it would be much easier for the Qin Guo to destroy the State of Han in the future.

Although in the original history, the Qin Guo did not spend much effort to destroy the State of Han.

It was really because the State of Han was located in a place of four battles. Over the years, although it was ranked among the seven heroes, its national strength had been weak to the extreme, and it did not even have the strength to fight.

As for this nail, did Han Fei and the others know? Clearly, they knew.

But with their strength, wanting to pull this nail out was not an easy thing.

The carriage swayed and soon arrived at the border of the State of Han.
