Chapter 557

~6 min read 1,171 words

Unfortunately, having trust is useless.

Among the Four Lords of the Warring States, the one with the most ability was Lord Xinling.

The fourth joint vertical alliance hosted by Lord Xinling in the past, although it ultimately failed because of the Qin Guo's alienation scheme and Lord Xinling lost his military power, from the result, that joint vertical alliance could barely be considered successful, and the joint vertical army gave the Qin Guo a big defeat.

And the fifth joint vertical alliance, although the joint vertical army initially gained some advantages, in the end, it still lost to the Qin Guo.

As a loser, one naturally has to pay a price.

The price was that the several states participating in the joint vertical alliance were successively subjected to fierce retaliation by the Qin Guo in the following years. The State of Chu, also because of the Qin Guo's retaliation, had to move its capital to this Shouchun City.

Not many years after moving to Shouchun City, King Kaolie of Chu died of illness. Not long after he died, Lord Chunshen was also ambushed and killed by Li Yuan.

And today, it has been less than ten years since the State of Chu moved its capital.

This new capital of the State of Chu was also about to usher in its doomsday.

Because Su Xuan intentionally controlled the pace of the journey.

When Su Xuan and the three barely arrived near Shouchun, it happened to be the time when Wang Jian's army broke through Shouchun City.

Watching those nobles of the State of Chu being treated like livestock, under the escort of the Qin army, they walked out of Shouchun City one after another.

Han Xin, who was mixed in the crowd watching, had his eyes flickering slightly.

"Why, are you uncomfortable?"

Su Xuan turned his head and glanced at Han Xin, because strictly speaking, Han Xin was also a person of the State of Chu. Witnessing the destruction of the State of Chu, it was inevitable that he would feel a bit uncomfortable.

"No, I am rejoicing in one thing now!"

Han Xin's voice was very calm, and he stated his inner feelings without waves.

"Fortunately, I didn't join the army like those young people in the village!"

Han Xin admired his own eye more and more.

After the Qin Guo attacked the State of Chu, many young people of the State of Chu, including many fellow villagers in their village, joined the army one after another to defend the State of Chu. But Han Xin saw the fact that the Qin Guo was powerful and the State of Chu was invincible. Going to join the army at this time would only be a rash death.

So, even if many people in the village pointed and whispered at him and despised him, he never paid attention.

Isn't it good to be alive?

There are plenty of opportunities to make contributions, but now is definitely not the best opportunity.

After seeing the destruction of the State of Chu, Han Xin gave birth to some rejoicing.

After Yanfei heard Han Xin's words, she could not help but glance at Han Xin. It had to be said that Han Xin was a bit special, but this specialness made it difficult for people to look up to him. On the contrary, it made people despise him.

Being able to say such things about being afraid of death so frankly could also be considered a skill.

I really don't know why Lord Xuantian values this person so much.

"Sect Master, are we just going to enter the city like this?"

Han Xin only knew about the Yin-Yang School and did not know what kind of energy the Yin-Yang School had. Seeing that Su Xuan was going to take him into Shouchun City, he could not help but ask.

The Qin Guo had just broken through Shouchun City. At this time, it was expected that they would be counting the captives of the State of Chu.

If they rushed in rashly, would they be treated as rebels of the State of Chu?

Han Xin was a bit worried.

"Rest assured, I still have some energy in the Qin Guo!"

Su Xuan said calmly.

Then, he took Han Xin and Yanfei and walked towards Shouchun City.

After Wang Jian's army broke through Shouchun City, it was stationed in Shouchun City. They strictly guarded this capital of the State of Chu to prevent changes, and at the same time, prohibited the people in the city from going out. This was to prevent some nobles or wealthy merchants from taking the opportunity to escape.

Ordinary people were fine.

People like wealthy merchants and nobles all needed to move to Xianyang.

Just because these people had power, influence, and money, if they were left alone, they could pull up a large group of people to rebel at any time. These people were the most unstable elements and needed to be strictly guarded.

Seeing Su Xuan and the three intending to enter the city at this time, the Qin army immediately came up to question them, and their attitude could not be considered good.

Han Xin was a bit panicked when he heard the other party's questioning.

But immediately after, he found that his anxiety was redundant. After Su Xuan took out the token, the soldier who questioned Su Xuan and others immediately saluted Su Xuan respectfully.

Then, higher-level generals came.

When Su Xuan proposed to see General Wang Jian, the other party also readily agreed.

These scenes made Han Xin increasingly curious about Su Xuan's energy in the Qin Guo.

It seemed that this Sect Master's energy was really not small.

In the palace of Shouchun City.

Wang Jian's central army camp was moved here. As for the many royal family members of the State of Chu, with the destruction of Shouchun City, they had become captives. They would be escorted to Xianyang like the monarchs and ministers of the destroyed states.

When Han Xin followed Su Xuan here, he saw an old man with gray hair and beard.

"Old General Wang, long time no see!"

Su Xuan greeted Wang Jian. He knew Wang Jian and had met him several times. Although they were not close friends, they could still talk.

"Why does Mr. Su have time to come to this State of Chu?"

Wang Jian was different from Wang Ben. When Wang Ben first saw Su Xuan, his attitude was arrogant and indifferent. Wang Jian was different, and even revealed some smiles and chatted with Su Xuan.

"I have some private matters, so I came to the State of Chu."

Su Xuan said, and praised Wang Jian, "It's just that as soon as I arrived in Shouchun, I saw the scene of Old General Wang breaking the city and destroying Chu. Counting the destroyed State of Chu this time, Old General Wang has successively destroyed three states."

"This kind of merit has already surpassed the original Martial Lord Bai Qi!"
