Chapter 238

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 methods. Back when he was in the State of Han, the King of Han also favored him greatly, even confronting Ji Wuye for his sake and dismissing Emerald Tiger.

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

This ability was not something ordinary people could learn.

This could not help but make Wei Zhuang think of Han Fei beside him. If Han Fei had such methods back then, when he first returned to his country, how could he not even be able to seek the position of Sima?

After a thought flashed by, Wei Zhuang's gaze became firm again.

Even if Su Xuan possessed the Heavenly Question, the sword ranked first in the world's sword spectrum, so what?

Today, he must take this grain away.

Whether this grain could be transported back to the State of Han meant whether the chaos in the State of Han could be quelled. If the chaos could not be quelled, given the ambition shown by the Qin Guo at the moment, it would be a devastating disaster for the entire State of Han.

Wei Zhuang's body suddenly leaped up, jumping from horseback, and rushed toward Su Xuan. The Shark Tooth in his hand waved, and the crimson sword light swept out, turning into eight paths in an instant. 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 instant, they would be buried under this sword.

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

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

Under the Horizontal Piercing Eight Directions, eight sword lights enveloped Su Xuan.

Su Xuan's expression did not change, and he waved the Heavenly Question sword in his hand. The eight sword lights vanished simultaneously, and then, the black sword light landed 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, smashing heavily onto the ground.

He had an ugly expression, with a deep look of disbelief in his eyes.

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

It was just one sword, and he was defeated.

Back in Zilan Pavilion, Xuan Jian had 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 Jian?

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

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

The only thing he ignored was Su Xuan's progress in strength.

Su Xuan's current strength had progressed much more than when he was in Xinzheng.

Holding the Heavenly 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 got off the horse himself.

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

Han Fei took the initiative to get off the horse.

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

The grain that Han Fei had spent so much effort to borrow from the Wei Guo 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 had previously said that for the sake of old friends, he would allow them to return to the State of 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.

If he were released back to the State of Han, who knew what ideas he could come up with to resolve this crisis in the State of 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, the current Zhang Liang was too immature, and Zinu's strategy was not as good as Han Fei's, and her bravery was not as good as Wei Zhuang's. Although they were 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 the State 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 of the Wei Guo was too cheap. At this time, being able to buy such cheap grain to resolve the domestic crisis could be considered 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 domestic grain price 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 the State of 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.

"Presumably, the Ninth Young Master went to the Wei Guo 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 Yihu had an ugly expression. During this period, he had made a lot of money. If Han Fei really brought back those low-priced grains, it would greatly affect his ability to make money.

Earlier, listening to the advice of the Straw Raincoat, he sent the "Night" organization to intercept Han Fei. Looking at it now, the "Night" organization had failed.

The Crown Prince of Han hurriedly opened the urgent report from the border, and after seeing the content on it, his expression changed drastically again.

"How could..."

The content on it was that Han Fei borrowed grain from the Wei Guo, and when he was transporting the grain back, he was attacked by bandits. The grain was hijacked, and Han Fei was also missing, suspected of being hijacked by the bandits.

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 to pick up the grain. As a result, he did not expect that on the way from the Wei Guo to the border of the State of Han, something happened to the grain.
