"Drive... drive... drive..."

In the silent night, a rapid sound of urging horses suddenly sounded, along with the dull sound of the horses' four hooves hitting the ground.

From the constant sound, one could already hear the anxiety in the heart of the man on horseback. And his movements of looking back from time to time made this anxiety even deeper.

He controlled the horse under him and ran all the way. He didn't know how far he ran. It was not until he confirmed that no one was chasing him that the man on the horse slowly relaxed the reins.

While listening to the heavy breathing of the war horse beneath him from time to time, he gently turned the horse back. The man's eyes were quietly looking back in the direction he came from.

When he saw the city in the distance that could only show its outline in the dark night, a trace of reluctance appeared in this man's eyes.

I don’t know if I will have the chance to return to the city where I grew up after leaving this time.

Just when this man was feeling emotional, a voice that seemed so clear in the dark night appeared in his ears, "Sir, we must leave as soon as possible. Ji Chao will find us soon, and maybe the pursuers will be there right now.

Already on the way."

"good."

After a gentle response, Ji Gen tightened his grip on the reins slightly, and looked towards the city ahead with a more firm look.

Turning the horse's head again to face the east, Ji Gen clamped his feet on the horse's belly and appeared in the dark night with a loud shout, "Let's go to Gongcheng."

The pursuers mentioned in Su Shu's words did not appear. After a night of galloping, Ji Gen and the others finally arrived at Gongcheng without any danger.

That is to say, not long after arriving in Gongcheng, Ji Gen raised the banner of opposing his brother, and a civil strife broke out in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Although the Western Zhou Kingdom is far inferior to any of the surrounding princes in terms of national strength and territory, the Western Zhou Kingdom is located in the land of the royal family, and its every move has attracted the attention of people all over the world.

Suddenly, the attention of all surrounding countries was focused on the civil strife in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

It was at this time that a carriage drove out of Gongcheng and sped towards Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea in the southeast.

…

South Korea, the capital Xinzheng, in the Prime Minister's mansion.

After sitting for a few minutes, holding a writing brush in his hand, Prime Minister Han Ye slowly raised his head and looked at the slave in front of him.

"Are you saying that there is an envoy claiming to be Gongzigen outside the house asking for an audience?"

"Exactly." Listening to Han Ye's question, the servant immediately replied in a deep voice: "The man said that he came to Xinzheng from Gongcheng to see the Prime Minister on the order of Gongzi Gen."

After confirming the authenticity of the matter from the slave, Han Ye gently put down the brush in his hand, and a flash of thinking flashed in his eyes.

Young Master Ji Gen’s envoy is coming at this moment, I’m afraid it’s...

A thought flashed through his mind, and the look in Han Ye's eyes suddenly became solemn, but his words were still so calm, "Invite him in."

"Here."

Upon hearing Han Ye's order, the servant immediately turned around and left the room. After a while, a middle-aged man followed him back to Han Ye.

"You go down first."

"Here."

When the servant disappeared from sight, Han Ye's eyes immediately turned to the middle-aged man standing in front of him.

When Han Ye looked at him, he saw the person taking a step forward, bowed and said: "Su Shu, a Zhou native, has met Han Xiang."

"Sir, please rise and take your seats."

After Su Shu sat down firmly on the seat, Han Yedang asked straight to the point: "I wonder why you came to Xinzheng, sir?"

"Since I have received the favor from you, I should act for you." Facing Han Ye's inquiry, Su Shu had no intention of concealing anything and responded directly in a deep voice: "With all due respect to Prime Minister Han, I am coming to Xinzheng this time.

I would like to ask South Korea to help."

Hearing Su Shu directly state his purpose of coming, Han Ye's heart moved, but on the surface he still maintained a calm expression.

There was a bit of doubt in his tone, and he heard Han Ye ask softly: "The young master is the youngest son of the Duke of Western Zhou Dynasty, and the young master Chao is the eldest son of the Duke of Western Zhou Dynasty. The fight between the two is the internal affairs of the Western Zhou Dynasty. To us, Korea

What does it matter?"

Hearing the question raised by Han Ye, Su Shu felt a little solemn in his heart. He knew that his answer might determine South Korea's attitude during the civil strife in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Should you decide to help Young Master Ji Gen? Or remain neutral? Or even support Young Master Ji Chao?

After thinking for a moment, Su Shu said in a deep voice: "If it was before, of course it had nothing to do with South Korea..."

Midway through the words, Su Shu paused for a moment, and then suddenly changed the topic: "But what if South Korea can benefit from it?"

"If South Korea is willing to help my young master ascend to the position of Duke of Western Zhou Dynasty, the land of Fengshi will be owned by South Korea."

After hearing Su Shu's words, Han Ye suddenly had a bright light in his eyes. It was obvious that he was still very interested in the condition proposed by Su Shu.

However, although there was some movement in his heart, Han Ye was not ready to express his attitude towards this matter immediately.

A look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he heard Han Ye say in a deep voice: "Sir, this matter is important, but it is not something Han Ye can decide. This matter needs to be decided by Han Hou."

Taking in the changes in the expression on Han Ye's face, Su Shu felt at ease. It was obvious that the other party was already a little moved by his conditions.

As the Prime Minister of South Korea, Han Ye's reputation in South Korea and his status in the heart of Han Ruoshan, the Marquis of Han, are simply not comparable to others.

With Han Ye's help, this matter is not far from success.

Su Shu slowly stood up from the seat and bowed to Han Ye, "Please help Mr. Han. If this matter can be successful, my young master will never forget Han Ye's kindness, let alone

Forget about Prime Minister Han.”

"Sir, your words are too strong." Han Ye quickly stood up from behind a few cases, walked quickly to Su Shu, and helped him up with both hands.

After another round of greetings, Han Ye personally sent Su Shu out of the mansion, and then heard a voice appear inside the mansion.

"Come here, prepare a car, I want to enter the palace."

…

"Report to your Majesty, Prime Minister, to ask for an audience."

In a main hall of the Korean Palace, Han Hou Han Ruoshan was discussing military affairs with Sima Han Yue, when a report sounded in his ears.

When the palace man's voice slowly fell, a look of solemnity suddenly appeared on Han Ruoshan's face. Something big must have happened when Han Ye asked to see him.

As soon as his mind changed, he saw Han Ruoshan ordering in a deep voice to the palace servant: "Please invite the Prime Minister to come in quickly."

"Here."

Not long after, following the footsteps of this palace man, Han Ye, the prime minister, appeared in front of Han Ruoshan.

"Your Majesty, Han Ye, pays homage to your Majesty."

"There is no need to be polite to the Prime Minister. I wonder why the Prime Minister wants to see you at this moment?"

Facing Han Ruoshan's gaze, Han Ye recounted the conversation between Su Shu and him.

After a while, Han Ruoshan, who had listened to the whole story silently, asked Han Ye in a deep voice: "I wonder how the Prime Minister thinks Korea should deal with this civil strife in the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
