Chapter 93: The Crisis Continues

With the Han Guo crown prince ceding land and offering cities to appease Qin’s anger.

The case of the former Qin envoy being murdered finally came to an end.

Li Si, the new Qin envoy, completed the task, and a look of joy couldn't help but appear on his face. A trip to Han Guo had brought back a piece of territory for Qin. Such a merit was clearly a great one.

Thus, he, who rarely drank, took the initiative to invite Han Fei, his fellow disciple, to drink.

Unfortunately, Han Fei’s mood while drinking was not high. Even though he was a veteran drunkard, how could he be happy when he thought of the reason for Li Si’s drinking?

Li Si’s merit was exchanged for the land of Han Guo.

"Junior Brother Li, next time, I will definitely not lose again!"

After three rounds of drinks, the tipsy Han Fei looked at Li Si in front of him and said this sentence with a serious tone.

"Is that so? Then I will wait and see!"

Facing Han Fei’s gaze, Li Si also responded seriously.

Li Si and Han Fei, although they were not disciples of the Guigu School, their relationship was actually similar to that of students of the Guigu School. From the moment they started, they were in constant competition.

They inspired each other.

It was so before, and it is still so now.

It took a long time.

The case of the Qin envoy being murdered finally came to an end.

After the case ended, Li Si, the new Qin envoy, did not stay in Xinzheng for long, but embarked on the return journey.

When he learned that Li Si’s carriage had left Xinzheng, the crown prince in the Han Guo palace couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the Zilan Pavilion, Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, Zi Nu, Zhang Liang, and others gathered together.

"That person left with the Qin Wang!"

Zi Nu had operated in Han Guo for many years and also had her own intelligence network. This time, the Qin envoy left, and the Qin Wang and Gai Nie returned mixed in the mission, just like when they came. Zi Nu observed a little and found that there were two more people in the mission.

Hearing Zi Nu’s words, everyone’s expression tightened.

Although earlier, after the Xuan Xuan Jian affair ended, the Qin Wang had once extended an invitation to Su Xuan, they did not expect that Su Xuan would actually accept the Qin Wang’s invitation and choose to enter Qin.

Su Xuan did not stay in Han Guo for long, but in this short time, the methods he displayed were memorable. Whether it was political strategy or strength, they were top-notch.

Such a person going to Qin and being used by the Qin Wang was not a good thing for them.

"It seems we are going to have one more tricky opponent!"

Zhang Liang said in a deep voice.

He had far less contact with Su Xuan than the others here, but his familiarity with Su Xuan was not a bit less because of the others here.

Han Fei asked Zi Nu another question: "What about the Nightfall?"

Zi Nu said: "I was just about to say this."

"After Ji Ji Yihu returned, the Nightfall organization seemed to have attached itself to Ji Ji Yihu."

Wei Zhuang’s eyes were firm, and he said: "If that person didn't lie, after Ji Ji Wuye died, the Nightfall had already defected to him. After the Nightfall defected to him, it was clearly impossible to continue to attach itself to Ji Ji Yihu."

"Does Mr. Wei Zhuang mean that the Nightfall’s attachment to Ji Ji Yihu is due to that person’s instruction?" Zhang Liang frowned.

"Probably so." Wei Zhuang nodded and said, "What we are about to face is not only a powerful enemy added to Qin, but the trouble we have to face in Han Guo is also not small."

"Although that person left Han Guo, he left the Nightfall behind. The Nightfall is still like a thorn, deeply stuck in Han Guo, affecting the entire Han Guo."

"Ji Ji Wuye’s Nightfall, and the Nightfall under that person—no, it should be said under the Qin Wang—the harm to Han Guo is completely different!"

Although earlier, the Qin Wang came to Han Guo as a king, condescending to recruit Han Fei, and they once regarded the Qin Wang as a friend.

But that was the Qin Wang when he was in Han Guo.

After the other party returned to Qin, the Qin Wang was no longer their friend, but a powerful enemy they were about to face.

The Qin Wang had ambition and ability.

If he controlled the chariot of Qin, could Han Guo be spared from chaos?

While Han Fei and the others were thinking about this question.

Su Xuan took Yan Yan Lingji and followed the mission led by Li Si, also stepping on the road to Qin.

Although he controlled the Nightfall organization, this time Su Xuan did not think about taking the Nightfall to Qin.

The Nightfall was an organization that Ji Ji Wuye had spent many years developing and growing. The foundation of the organization was all in Han Guo. If he abandoned the foundation of Han Guo and turned to Qin, although the Nightfall would still be the Nightfall, its strength would clearly be greatly damaged.

Therefore, instead of thinking about taking the Nightfall to Qin, it would be better to let it stay in Han Guo and absorb the nutrients of this country.

Even with this nail of the Nightfall existing, it would be much easier for Qin to destroy Han Guo in the future.

Although in the original history, Qin did not spend much effort to destroy Han Guo.

It was really because Han Guo was located in a place of four wars, and after many years, although it was listed among the seven heroes, its national strength had been weakened to the extreme, and it did not even have the strength to fight.

As for this nail, did Han Fei and the others know? Clearly, they knew.

But relying on their strength, it was not an easy thing to pull this nail out.

The carriage swayed, and soon, it arrived at the border of Han Guo.
