Chapter 235

At the very least, they had to ensure sufficient grain. As long as there was sufficient grain and grass, even if the Qin Guo really had ideas, the border army of the State of Han could barely fight them.

Han Fei and Wei Zhuang, who were going to the Wei Guo to borrow grain, also realized this.

Facing the Qin army, they were powerless and did not have the strength to fight one against ten thousand. They could only seize the time to go to the Wei Guo to borrow grain.

When he first arrived in the Wei Guo, Han Fei suffered many setbacks and could not borrow grain.

Until he had a flash of inspiration and thought of someone.

That was the Empress Dowager Leling. Empress Dowager Leling was the old Empress Dowager of the Wei Guo and had a high status. She was also the sister of Princess Honglian's grandmother. Using this relationship, Han Fei used Honglian as an excuse to see Empress Dowager Leling, and finally, with his exquisite eloquence, successfully persuaded Empress Dowager Leling.

Under the guarantee of Empress Dowager Leling, the Wei Guo was finally willing to sell grain to the State of Han at a low price.

The so-called borrowing of grain was of course not the Wei Guo giving grain to the State of Han unconditionally. In the final analysis, the State of Han still needed to use money to buy it. Of course, the price of grain was definitely much cheaper than the expensive grain in the State of Han, and even lower than the normal market price in the Wei Guo.

After successfully borrowing the grain, Han Fei and Wei Zhuang did not dare to stay in the Wei Guo for long and hurriedly took the grain and headed toward the State of Han.

Just as they arrived at the border of the Wei Guo.

An ambush suddenly unfolded.

Figures in black robes appeared quietly, holding sharp blades. As soon as they appeared, they launched an attack on the people who were following Han Fei and the others to transport the grain.

Wei Zhuang and Han Fei were riding on horseback.

Looking at this scene, they raised their eyebrows.

"Sure enough, there are people who don't want us to bring the grain back so easily." Regarding this matter, Han Fei seemed to have expected it.

Wei Zhuang also said, "I just don't know if they are from the 'Night' organization or... the 'Luo Wang'!"

The "Night" organization was an organization in the State of Han. The high grain prices in the State of Han now were the work of the "Night" organization, and its purpose was to accumulate wealth for Ji Yihu. Of course, according to the speculation of Han Fei and others, there was someone else behind that matter.

As for the "Luo Wang" preventing them from bringing the grain back, it was not without basis.

Back then, the "Luo Wang" had stirred up trouble in the Wei Guo. The "Luo Wang" organization was deep-rooted among the Seven States of the world, and its purpose was to weaken the Six States to benefit the Qin Guo. Now that the Qin army was stationed at the border of the two countries, eyeing them like a tiger, it was waiting for the State of Han to fall into chaos and then take action against the State of Han.

It was not surprising that the "Luo Wang" would take action.

"Looking at it now, Brother Wei Zhuang, you have foresight. Although you paid some price, at least you can successfully transport the grain back to the State of Han." Han Fei praised Wei Zhuang.

The next moment, many men in black, upon reaching the people transporting the grain, were suddenly knocked down by the people transporting the grain.

These people transporting the grain were all experts.

They were all from the "Iron Blood Alliance"!

The Iron Blood Alliance was a mysterious organization with forces spread across the Seven States.

Iron as faith, blood as righteousness, the Iron Blood Formation, life and death are not blocked!

They used huge financial and human resources to guarantee various bets between the major powers of the Seven States. In the past, the son of the Wei Guo, Kang, relied on his many soldiers to violate the bet, and within three days, he was beheaded and hung on the city wall to be shown to the public. When Lord Jinglun and Emerald Tiger bet on wealth, it was also guaranteed by the Iron Blood Alliance. After losing the bet, he died in poverty.

Even the royal families of the Six States could be influenced, which showed that the strength of the Iron Blood Alliance was unfathomable.

After arriving in the Wei Guo this time, because he was worried that the grain would be hijacked, Wei Zhuang went to find the Iron Blood Alliance and invited the Iron Blood Alliance to take action at the cost of half of this grain.

Looking at it now, it was worth it.

Wei Zhuang's lips curled into a smug smile. Although the price was high, the Iron Blood Alliance had good strength, and presumably, they could successfully transport the grain back to the State of Han.

But then, the smile on Wei Zhuang's lips froze.

A flash of sword light flew through the air. Where the sword light rose, names were like grass!
