Chapter 82

"Since you want to kill that Heaven-rank First-Class of the Net, why do you still let the Night organization help him find that person's whereabouts?"

In the private residence, just as the Straw-Cloaked Guest left, Yan Yan Lingji asked Su Xuan a question.

Su Xuan asked Yan Yan Lingji in return: "In your opinion, is it better to add flowers to a brocade, or to send charcoal in the snow?"

Yan Yan Lingji said without hesitation: "Of course the latter!"

"Adding flowers to a brocade is a matter of 'better than nothing'; although it can make the brocade more beautiful, whether that flower is there or not doesn't make much difference. But sending charcoal in the snow is different; it can be said to be helping people in their urgent need, saving them from fire and water!"

Su Xuan nodded: "That is exactly the principle."

"So, I must let that person feel a sense of crisis first, and then appear to resolve his crisis. Tell me, when that time comes, how grateful will that person be to me?"

Yan Yan Lingji asked Su Xuan curiously: "Who exactly is that person? Worthy of you valuing him so much!"

"If I say he is the King of Qin Guo, would you believe it?"

Yan Yan Lingji's delicate body shook, her expression horrified.

In this world, there are many kings.

The seven states all have kings, and Regarding Baiyue also has a king, but if we talk about which king is the strongest, then it is clearly the King of Qin Guo.

The national power of Qin Guo is the first among all states, and his status as king is also vaguely above the other kings.

Even though, as far as Yan Yan Lingji knew, this King of Qin Guo had not yet reached his coming-of-age ceremony to take personal control of the government, and state affairs were temporarily handled by the Marquis of Wenxin, Lu Lu Buwei, he was still the King of Qin Guo, not comparable to the likes of the King of Han.

She did not expect that the King of Qin Guo would actually leave Qin Guo and come to Xinzheng, and even less did she expect that the other party would become the target of the Net's assassination; one must know that the Net was the official assassin organization of Qin Guo.

'Is it the work of that Marquis of Wenxin?'

Yan Yan Lingji could not help but speculate.

Calculating his age, the King of Qin was almost ready for his coming-of-age ceremony; according to the etiquette of Qin Guo, after the ceremony, he would be an adult, and at that time, it would clearly be impossible for state affairs to continue to be handled by Lu Lu Buwei.

Lu Lu Buwei, as a merchant, became the Chancellor of Qin Guo, which was a legend in itself.

If he was greedy for power and did not want to relinquish it, sending people to kill the King of Qin before the ceremony would also be a reasonable thing to do.

……

Time passed for another two days.

The Qin Guo envoy, Li Si, remained in an aggressive attitude.

The Crown Prince of Han Guo and his officials were all in a state of burning anxiety; they could only try their best to search for Tian Ze's whereabouts, hoping to bring him to justice.

However, how difficult was it to catch Tian Ze?

Especially since Tian Ze had actually already left Han Guo, their intensified search for Tian Ze's whereabouts was destined to be in vain.

And for those who liked to drink flower wine, these two days were also very agonizing.

Because Zilan Xuan was no longer open for business.

It chose to close its doors to guests; in Zinu's words, Zilan Xuan was in disrepair and needed to be renovated, the time was uncertain, and after the renovation was completed, it would provide everyone with better service.

Of course, this was just what was said verbally.

The real purpose of closing its doors was naturally because of the stay of "Young Master Shang"; even though this was not Qin Guo, Young Master Shang's status was unusual, and the other party had come from afar and was willing to stay at her Zilan Xuan, which clearly showed he thought highly of her. As the owner of this place, Zinu clearly had to consider the safety of "Young Master Shang."

Even though the backyard of Zilan Xuan was very quiet, if there were too many guests in the front yard, it would be crowded and mixed, and accidents would inevitably happen, so it was better to close Zilan Xuan for a few days for peace and comfort.

Young Master Shang also understood Zinu's intention and could not help but praise the owner of Zilan Xuan for being understanding, but he did not say anything.

Compared to Zinu and Wei Zhuang, his main purpose for coming to Xinzheng this time was for Han Fei.

His acquaintance with Li Si was an accident that was not an accident.

The reason it was said not to be an accident was because Li Si had ambition, and Li Si approaching him was a deliberate act.

Although Li Si had defected to the Marquis of Wenxin, Lu Lu Buwei, he also saw that Lu Lu Buwei was old and frail, so on the other side, he secretly attached himself to him.

This was a way of betting on both sides.

But Young Master Shang did not care.

Long trapped in a cage, he could understand Li Si's behavior of betting on both sides; the main reason was that he had not yet taken personal control of the government and had not shown enough skill and ability.

It was inevitable that others would wait and see, acting in a two-faced manner.

On the contrary, he had to thank Li Si this time; if it weren't for Li Si's help, he would not have been able to come to Han Guo so easily and meet Han Fei.

Carefully speaking, the reason he knew about Han Fei was actually related to Li Si.

To be precise, it was a scroll of books that Li Si brought to Qin Guo.

Because he had not yet taken personal control of the government, he was usually trapped in the palace and could only rely on reading books to relieve his boredom. Li Si gave him a book written by his fellow student Han Fei.

After reading this book, Young Master Shang could not help but be amazed.

Because the words in the book were pearls of wisdom, deeply in line with his intentions, and afterward, after reading this book countless times, he finally had an idea: he wanted to meet the author of this book and invite him to conspire for a great cause.

And so, he secretly followed the Qin Guo delegation to 800 Xinzheng.

Unfortunately, after meeting Han Fei, Young Master Shang had already expressed his thirst for talent to Han Fei, but Han Fei remained unmoved and unwilling to be used by him.

This made Young Master Shang regretful and puzzled.

Han Fei could write such wonderful articles, did he not know the situation in Han Guo? The late King had just died, and Ji Ji Wuye had died, causing the already weak Han Guo to fall to the bottom; what future was there in staying in this country?

It would be better to defect to him and create an unprecedented prosperous age together.

However, Han Fei's meaning had already been expressed very clearly.

Although Young Master Shang was regretful, he could only choose to continue staying at Zilan Xuan, hoping that as time passed, Han Fei would gradually change his mind.

Especially now, Li Si's continuous pressure on Han Guo might make Han Fei recognize reality.

The night was deep.

The bright moon hung in the sky, and the cold wind blew.

Suddenly, several figures appeared on the eaves of Zilan Xuan at the same time.

Inside Zilan Xuan, Wei Zhuang and the others felt a sharp murderous aura for the first time.

This murderous aura flashed and disappeared, but it was so cold that it made people feel chilled to the bone.
