Chapter 458: Han Fei

"Young Master, who do you think will have the last laugh among the Seven States?"

Suddenly, a male voice sounded from outside the private room.

"Han Fei!"

Zi Nü shouted in astonishment. She didn't expect Han Fei to dare to eavesdrop on Lin Fan's conversation. Wasn't he afraid that Lin Fan would kill him?

"Han Fei? Please come in!"

Lin Fan was not angry. Han Fei could at least be considered a future brother-in-law, so he would give him some face.

"Young Master just said that the Seven States will be in war. I wonder which state you favor?"

Han Fei pushed the door open and walked in, then walked to Lin Fan and asked seriously.

"Please sit. Who can have the last laugh is not about which state I favor, but about which state has the strongest strength!"

Lin Fan let Han Fei sit down to chat slowly.

"Does Young Master mean that the Great Qin will have the last laugh?"

Although Lin Fan didn't say it directly, Han Fei had obviously heard Lin Fan's meaning.

Among the Seven States, the Qin State was naturally the strongest; the Han State and the Yan State were actually very weak.

"Ying Zheng has great talent and bold vision, appoints people on their merits, has ambition, and has strategy. He meets all the characteristics of a great monarch. The Great Qin court is full of talents, and the army is strong and well-equipped. May I ask, if the Great Qin doesn't have the last laugh, could it be that the muddled and incompetent King An of Han can have the last laugh?"

Lin Fan played with his teacup and looked at Han Fei with great interest.

"That's why I returned. I want to reform and make the Han State strong!"

Upon hearing this, Han Fei's face turned somewhat pale, but he still said firmly to Lin Fan.

"Have you ever heard a saying: an incompetent general will tire out three armies. If a country's monarch is incompetent, how many people will he harm? You want to reform? You can, but first kill your brother and imprison your father, and take over the position of Han Wang!"

Han Fei thought too simply. The person in power was a muddled, incompetent king who was addicted to beauty, yet he still hoped to make the country strong through reform. Wasn't this daydreaming?

"Do you mean that the Han State is hopeless?"

Han Fei looked at Lin Fan with a heavy expression.

"Didn't I say it? If you become the Han Wang, take military power, and unite the other six states, you might be able to wrestle with Ying Zheng. Otherwise, the Han State will definitely be destroyed, and it will be the first to perish. As for the reason, I don't need to say more; I believe you understand!"

Lin Fan looked at Han Fei with a smile. He knew that Han Fei would not do this, so the destruction of the Han State was already inevitable.

"I can't do it. Do you have any other suggestions for me?"

Han Fei really couldn't do it. He was a disciple of the Confucian school; how could he kill his brother and imprison his father like Li Shimin?

"Persuade Princess Honglian to go with me to avoid her becoming the fallen princess Chi Lian in the future!"

"Chi Lian? Although the red-banded snake seems extremely poisonous, its toxicity is actually very small. Could this symbolize the warmth deep in her heart? It really shouldn't let her bear this pain. I will go back and persuade her. Hearing your words is better than reading books for ten years. Han Fei bids farewell!"

Han Fei knew that Lin Fan did not favor the Han State at all and obviously could not help him, so he stopped pestering him, stood up, and left.

"Will the Han State be the first to perish? Then I must consider a way out for the sisters of Zilan Xuan!"

Zi Nü stood aside and muttered to herself.

Lin Fan stood up and walked slowly to her side, reaching out to gently wrap his arms around her waist.

"Hmm..."

Her sensitive waist was wrapped, and she was also taken into Lin Fan's arms. Zi Nü was somewhat at a loss for a moment.

"Zi Nü, haven't you thought about yourself? Could it be that your life is only lived for these sisters?"

Lin Fan lowered his head and asked Zi Nü seriously.

"I am also a woman, and naturally I also want to find a chest to rely on and an arm to shelter from the wind and rain. Now that you have taken me into your arms, Young Master, does this count as a promise to me?"

Zi Nü leaned gently in Lin Fan's arms, feeling exceptionally at ease, and couldn't help but close her eyes and murmur.

"Zi Nü, are you willing to go with me? I will take you away from here, and from now on, we will walk the Jianghu and travel the world."

"I am willing. In addition, my good sister Nongyu has also admired you for a long time, Young Master. Can she go with us?"

Zi Nü not only agreed to leave with Lin Fan but also bought one and got one free, taking Nongyu along.

"Oh? Call her over and let me see!"

Lin Fan didn't refuse, just made a request to see Nongyu first.

"I'll go right now!"

Zi Nü walked out of the room gracefully to find Nongyu.

"Okay, Lin Fan, you take them as soon as you make a move. Not only that, she even called a good sister. Nongyu, it sounds like a pitiful and lovely person!"

Zhang Sanniang took a sip of tea and then teased Lin Fan.

"Nongyu, she is also a pitiful person. Her father is the former Right Sima Li Kai, and her mother is the current wife of Left Sima Liu Yi, Lady Hu."

"What, my father is Li Kai, and my mother is Lady Hu?"

Nongyu, who was walking in holding her zither, almost didn't hold onto the zither when she heard this. It was pitiful how excited she was.

"Your mother is the eldest daughter of the Fire Rain Manor in Uncle Baiyue. Your father Li Kai and Liu Yi went to Uncle Baiyue to quell the rebellion. Later, Li Kai and your mother developed feelings for each other and gave the carved Fire Rain Agate to your mother. Liu Yi was jealous, colluded with the Three Wolves of Broken Hair to loot the Fire Rain Manor, and snatched all the treasures. In the battle, he deliberately did not support Li Kai, causing Li Kai's army to be wiped out by the rebels. Liu Yi took the opportunity to grasp military power and married the eldest daughter of Lord Fire Rain, which is the current Lady Hu."

Lin Fan walked to Nongyu, took off the Fire Rain Agate at her waist and looked at it for a while, then explained it to her.

"So my mother married Liu Yi, the enemy who killed my father?"

Nongyu looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, not daring to believe that this was true.

"Liu Yi hid it very well; your mother also didn't know what he had done. It can only be said that it was the trickery of fate."

Lin Fan sighed, but Li Kai was not dead yet; he was just disfigured.

"No, I want to tell her. How is what she is doing different from recognizing a thief as a father?"

Nongyu turned to leave; she couldn't let her mother continue to be with Liu Yi, the enemy who killed her father.

"Nongyu, don't be in a hurry. As long as you follow Young Master Lin, whether it is mother and daughter recognizing each other or avenging your father's death, it is an easy matter!"

Zi Nü stopped Nongyu. Why was this sister so unreliable at a critical moment? Now was not the time to worry about Liu Yi.

"Ah, sorry Young Master, Nongyu was restless, so I was somewhat rude!"

Nongyu then came back to her senses. She had actually wanted to throw Lin Fan down to find Liu Yi just now. Was she possessed?

"It doesn't matter. If you are willing, I can take Lady Hu and Lady Hu Meiren away together, and then your family will be reunited!"

Lin Fan didn't care. Nongyu was just shocked by the successive news and lost her composure, so he didn't blame Nongyu.

"And who is that Lady Hu Meiren?"

Nongyu was dumbfounded by a name that suddenly popped up.

"Lady Hu Meiren is the second daughter of Fire Rain Manor, the consort of King An of Han, and the younger sister of Lady Hu, which is your aunt!" ===== CHAPTER 460 =====
