Chapter 16

Facts have proven that one should not do things a third time.

Lady Mingzhu, who came to Su Xuan’s place for the third time, appeared extremely sensible.

Not only did she not speak wildly or have an arrogant attitude like the first two times, but she even brought gifts to Su Xuan.

In her words, there was no lack of gentle and kind words.

Su Xuan naturally knew what the other party’s purpose was, but he did not point it out.

Even if Lady Mingzhu did this because she was temporarily controlled by him and did not want to offend him before finding the antidote, so she temporarily made a gesture of submission to paralyze him.

But for Su Xuan, the fact that the other party recognized reality was a huge progress.

Looking at the direction Lady Mingzhu left, Su Xuan immediately opened the box she brought. Inside the box were several medicinal herbs. Just by smelling the medicinal scent coming from them, Su Xuan used the art of "Medicine" to identify that these medicinal herbs were of great value, and in terms of preciousness, they were even above those sent by the King of Han.

"Sure enough, the good things are all in their hands!"

Su Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

On the surface, the King of Han is the most noble person in the entire Han Guo, but in reality, he still cannot control everything in Han Guo.

At night, the entire Han Guo is the world of the Night organization.

The Night, like a huge black curtain, covers the entire Han Guo.

Those who follow them prosper, those who oppose them perish!

Like moths, they have already hollowed out this country from all aspects.

The Wang Gong, which seems to be the residence of the King of Han and extremely noble, in reality, cannot escape the control of the Night. In the original work, those beauties who should have belonged to the King of Han were all secretly sent to Bai Bai Yifei by Lady Mingzhu.

And from beginning to end, the King of Han did not know any of this.

This also explains why the medicinal herbs brought by Lady Mingzhu were of better quality than those sent by the King of Han.

It is because those of better quality were intercepted by Lady Mingzhu the moment they were sent into the palace.

"No wonder Han Fei wanted to eradicate the Night in the original work. For this country, the existence of the Night is indeed a disaster." Su Xuan couldn't help but think of the absolute protagonist of "The Legend of Qin," the Ninth Prince of Han Guo, Han Fei.

I don't know if Han Fei lost or earned.

Although he is no longer a stutterer as in the official history and even looks quite handsome, his generation is lowered by one generation for no reason. In the official history, he is not the son of King An of Han.

At the very least, he belongs to the same generation as the other party.

Of course, he is still not valued.

However, that’s just how it is.

Honestly speaking, Su Xuan does not think much of Han Fei in this world. Judging from his performance in the original work, he really cannot support the wild words he uttered.

'In the world of the Seven Kingdoms, he wants ninety-nine.' If he really had that kind of strength, it would be fine, but in the plot, they were overwhelmed by the many schemes of Ji Ji Wuye and others, let alone stepping into the chess game of the world.

If according to the later plot, their method of dealing with Ji Ji Wuye was no longer to topple him from the court, but for Wei Zhuang to assassinate him with sharp means on the day of his wedding.

Before assassinating Ji Ji Wuye, the Quicksand he created also died or left for various reasons, which was miserable.

So, don't look at how spirited Han Fei was at the beginning; in the end, he was just a loser.

And after he died in Qin Guo and Han Guo was destroyed, the Quicksand he created fell into "The Legend of Qin" and directly became a killer organization, and its status dropped accordingly.

Perhaps because he thought of the Night through the medicinal herbs sent by Lady Mingzhu, and thought of the Night’s opponent, Quicksand, from the Night, Su Xuan, who was alone in the palace room, couldn't help but think of many things.

After gossiping and slandering in his heart, he looked at the medicinal herbs in front of him, thinking about what kind of elixir it would be better to refine.

Time passed slowly.

Since the great drought in July, when the King of Han issued a reward and attracted Su Xuan, a strange person who could summon wind and rain, to resolve the drought in Han Guo, Su Xuan had been staying in the Wang Gong.

Many ministers of Han Guo also knew about this.

As time passed, they learned one after another that this strange person was also well-versed in refining elixirs and making medicine, opening furnaces in the palace every day to make medicine for the King.

As for the medicinal effect, they didn't know. After all, they were not Ji Ji Wuye, who had great energy in the palace and could even secretly get a few elixirs refined by Su Xuan for the King of Han.

However, they knew that this person was very favored by the King.

In an instant, he was a rising star.

Many people were considering whether to get closer to him. With the King’s favor toward him, if this person said a few good words in front of the King, perhaps they could be promoted.

Unfortunately, it was not that easy for them to see Su Xuan. The main reason was that Su Xuan lived directly in the palace.

To some extent, Su Xuan living in the palace avoided a lot of trouble.

Ji Ji Wuye saw the threat brought by Su Xuan a long time ago. Now that Su Xuan was increasingly favored by the King of Han, it was not unexpected. He also had people watching Su Xuan a long time ago, trying to recruit Su Xuan for his own use.

But recently, his attention finally moved away from Su Xuan.

Because the border army was about to be paid.

Han Guo’s border army was not strong, but it was indispensable. After all, Han Guo was located in a place of four wars, surrounded by Wei Guo, Qi Guo, Chu Guo, and Qin Guo. None of these countries were easy to provoke, especially Qin Guo.

In order to defend the country, it was necessary to raise a border army to guard the border.

Earlier, Su Xuan summoned wind and rain for the King of Han to resolve the drought and received a reward of ten thousand taels of gold. That old guy, the King of Han, actually gave Su Xuan ten thousand taels of gold.

Ji Ji Wuye was very hot-hearted when he learned of this.

Ten thousand taels of gold also had a great temptation for him.

However, for now, he didn't care much.

Because compared to that ten thousand taels of gold, the military pay for the border army was a full one hundred thousand taels of gold.

Anyway, Han Guo’s border army could not resist the attacks of the surrounding four countries. Instead of wasting military pay to raise these waste, it was better to make it cheap for him.

As for how to seize this one hundred thousand taels of gold military pay, Ji Ji Wuye said that the script had already been written.
