"In this case, in five days' time, it will be an auspicious day as mentioned by the divination, and it will be a great dynasty meeting. The king will receive the certificate of credence and great gifts from the State of Yan with the solemn ceremony of a state guest."
Li Si was not surprised.
As I said before, I just thought that the people of Yan State should be given sufficient courtesy, and thought that the Xia States should set an example. If they really shouldn't do it, then they can only wait for the big meeting.
"As it should be."
Song Ruyi smiled happily.
Immediately, after another banquet, Li Si and others left.
"They're all gone?"
After half a stick of incense, Han Shen returned quietly from outside. He looked at the servants inside the embassy who were cleaning up the mess. He looked at Song Ruyi calmly. No matter what, he would not have a banquet with those important officials of the Qin State.
Drinking.
"Just left not long ago."
"They also sent four beauties who were presented by the Yan Kingdom in previous years, and twenty bottles of fine wine. Brother Han, I will not be alone tonight."
It seems that the Qin State treated them very well. They treated them well, with warm nephrite and mellow wine. It was definitely a refreshing treatment.
At least Song Ruyi felt that it was worthwhile for her to have such enjoyment before she died. In the past, when she was in Yan State, she was short of money, so even if she went to those elegant places, it was just to see them.
Instead of being able to truly taste the fragrance, now...this is a beauty sent by the Qin Palace. No matter in terms of appearance or figure, not to mention it was donated by the Yan Kingdom, she is definitely worth enjoying.
In these days, coupled with good wine, it is really happy.
"Brother Song, please don't do this."
"There must be no slacking off in what we do."
Han Shen shook his head, not caring at all about the beauties and fine wines sent by the Qin State. Instead, in his own opinion, those beauties and fine wines were more like Qin's methods of wooing and intoxicating them.
Drinking and sex is a taboo for those who practice martial arts. If you indulge in it, your energy and spirit will be exhausted. In five days, there will be a grand meeting of the Qin State. Then, they should recharge their batteries in order to achieve success.
"This..., Brother Han."
"...I am going to die by doing this. Wouldn't it be a pity if I couldn't have a good time before then?"
Song Ruyi sighed a little. She admired Brother Han, but... things were like this. They only needed to make preparations for the next five days. As for what they had done in the past few days, they should not be extremely vigilant.
On the contrary, it will give the people of Qin a different feeling.
"What if Brother Song said something he shouldn't have said when he was drunk?"
Han Shen also shook his head. It is good to have fun, but... not at this moment.
Although they have no future.
"This..., well, it's a pity."
Thinking of this, Song Ruyi sighed and said no more.
"Tomorrow, I may go to Xianyang Palace. Everything will remain as usual."
This trip brought Brother Song to Xianyang, and naturally he had enough trust in Brother Song. Han Shen was very relieved. The plan for Qin had been decided, and there was no possibility of retreating. However, before that, he still had one important matter.
, needs to be processed.
No matter what, she... is the only person he cares about in this world.
"Don't worry, Brother Han."
Song Ruyi nodded in response.
"Thank you."
Han Shen bowed his hand and bowed.
Xianyang Palace, not far from Yongxiang, is where the Shaofu Che Mansion is located. At night, the lights are slightly dim.
"Sir, in five days the great court will meet, and Han Shen, the envoy of the State of Yan, and his party will enter Xianyang Palace."
A stream of light flashed, and a man in black appeared, looking towards a cold direction in the darkness.
"I already know about this matter, and all arrangements are in place."
"From tomorrow onwards, you will dress up as a guard and sneak into the guards of Xianyang Palace so that you can be used by them."
A low and cold voice echoed.
"Here."
The man in black responded.
The words fell and disappeared leisurely.
At the same time, outside Xianyang City, a horse galloped, rolling up bursts of smoke and dust, and the stream of light flickered. Before the horse arrived, the person on it had already flashed with silvery white light and disappeared into the depths of Xianyang.
"It's you!"
"Why are you here?"
The sword energy trembled, and in the depths of the void, a sense of Yayoi went straight into the spiritual sense. Han Shen, who was sitting in the quiet room of the embassy with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light suddenly appeared, and soon, a black light passed by.
After taking a breath, above the eaves outside the quiet room, a half-moon was in the sky. Although the silver light was dim, a swordsman in white could still be seen standing at the corner of the eaves. The hair hanging down on his shoulders was moving with the wind, and he suddenly felt elegant.
Gui Gu Gai Nie, the chief swordsmanship teacher of Qin King Ying Zheng, he himself had a chance encounter with.
"In my opinion, Yan's surrender seems to be a fraud!"
From Guigu, he rushed all the way into the territory of Qin and entered Xianyang in the Guanzhong. The continuous rush was not considered exhausting for Gai Nie. He was just thinking about the news he got from Marquis Wuzhen, which made him anxious.
After entering the pass, I felt relieved based on the information I had found out. Fortunately, I had caught up. The Yan State envoy had just entered Xianyang City. In any case, it was impossible for him to enter Xianyang Palace so quickly.
As expected, it is impossible to say that Han Shen and others can be saved.
In any case, in Gai Nie's view, what Yan State Han Shen and others did was really unwise. The unification of the Xia was obvious, and the suffering of the people of all countries was about to end, but the Yan State wanted to make plans at this moment.
Qin's move?
It really...can't be done.
On this point, I absolutely disagree.
"The Qin State is powerful and the Yan State is weak, so they should surrender in order to survive."
Looking directly at the swordsman in white in front of him, Han Shen raised his eyebrows. What did this man mean by this?
"Really?"
Ge Nie didn't say much.
In Guigu, Marquis Wu Zhen has made it very clear that the King of Yan is already aware of the plot of the Qin Dynasty. If he gets involved, things may change slightly.
"What do you think?"
Han Shen smiled lightly.
"The Xia Dynasty has been at war for hundreds of years, and the people have been thinking hard about the peace of the world. Sure enough, the Qin State is one, and all the countries will naturally be peaceful and happy. The people return to their fields, and the wars return to their treasury."
"If Qin's general situation is interrupted, the Xia will inevitably fall into war again. Is that a situation you want to see?"
The rather magnetic whispers flowed out. Gai Nie stood with his sword in hand and looked at the Xianyang City under the night light to the left and right. It looked peaceful and peaceful. If the Qin plan came true, there would probably be chaos here.
If the center is in chaos, the entire Qin State will also fall into chaos.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Han Shen still had a smile on his face.
"With Gai Nie here, my master's plan will definitely not succeed."
Since the other party insists on hiding it, Ge Nie will not force it. Some things are not good if they are told clearly. If he cannot stop it, then he should do his best in Xianyang Palace.
"My only plan is to safely complete the letter of surrender from the State of Yan."
Han Shen's expression did not change. It was as before. What Guigu Ganie said in front of him was really frightening. Could it be that the other party really knew something? Or did he just vaguely hear something?
After all, the disciples of Guigu also have their own channels, and their junior brother Wei Zhuang is the leader of Quicksand, so it is not difficult to obtain information.
Does the person in front of you want to ruin your affairs?
"I hope so."
Gai Nie took a deep breath. If this is the case, then he has no goal of staying here anymore.
Immediately, a mysterious light appeared under his feet and disappeared.
Watching Gai Nie's figure slowly fade in the depths of his eyes, the smile on Han Shen's face gradually faded, and his spiritual eyes shrank deeply. Gai Nie's words made him very uneasy. He seemed to really know something.
But... no matter whether he knew anything or not, he had come to this point and there was no way out to return to the Yan Kingdom.
He had no choice but to die. He had been preparing for that day for a long time.
******
With the help of a caring person in Xianyang, Han Shen dressed lightly, and under the leadership of that person, approached Xianyang Palace.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency. The person you are looking for on this trip is Meng Jia, the concubine of Xianyang Palace. He is one of the important people guarding Xianyang Palace. In terms of status, he may not be obvious, but the family behind him is impressive."
"Meng Jia's mother's brother is Meng Wu, the current general of Qin's camp outside the pass. His two nephews are one who is the commander-in-chief of the army in Jiuyuan camp, and the other who is Lang Zhongling in Xianyang Palace. Therefore, Meng Jia's status
If you don’t show it, Xianyang Palace always has more face than others."
"Yesterday, I spent money to open the way to Mengjia. Although you can enter Xianyang Palace, it is only in the outer area. It will be difficult to enter."
Wearing the mysterious robes of the guards of Xianyang Palace of Qin State, with long swords on their waists, they led the way, followed by Han Shen and his entourage, who were dressed like ordinary palace guards of Qin State, entered slowly and gradually approached Xianyang Palace.
At the same time, he briefly explained the identity of the Mengjia people and the general information about Xianyang Palace.
The royal city of Xianyang City is located, surrounded by moats and boulevards. The roads leading out from the four gates are extremely wide, and everyone can enter Xianyang Palace. Of course, it is absolutely impossible to enter Xianyang Palace from the four main gates.
In that area, dignitaries were not allowed to travel unless there were important officials from Xianyang. Moreover, the four gates were guarded by the Black Dragon Army directly under the command of King Qin. Anyone who behaved strangely would be killed without mercy.
After walking in quite a circle, he entered through a side gate near the Xianyang Harem. There, Han Shen met the concubine Meng Jia, who had a square appearance and a heroic spirit.
On the contrary, there was something philistine between his eyebrows and his words, which made Han Shen a little unhappy... He still greeted him with a smile, and entered through the side door, entering the outer area of Xianyang Royal City.
"I can only take you here, but... you have to remember that from now on, in half an hour, the guards in the palace will change their guard. After you enter, you will be gone within half an hour.
Gotta come out."
"Otherwise, it would be dangerous for the palace guards to hand over the investigation."
Meng Jia didn't know the envoy from Yan State. Since they were entrusted by friends, it was still in the outer area of Xianyang Royal City. Apart from being a little closer to the harem, there was nothing else. As for being close to where the king rested and discussed politics, there was no need to think about it.
"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely come out within half an hour."
Han Shen bowed his hands and promised Meng Jia.
"Go ahead."
Meng Jia and his old friend looked at each other, waved their hands, and opened an entrance inside, allowing Han Shen to enter.
Xianyang Palace!
At his feet was the place where Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, who was jealous of everyone in the Shandong countries, lived. If it were not for important matters, Han Shen would have to find Ying Zheng with a sword and kill him now.
However, I am not familiar with this place, and there are many masters in Xianyang Palace. With my own strength, I probably won't even be able to get close to Ying Zheng.
On this trip, I am about to die, so I should leave some words to the people I want to leave them to the most. Last year in Handan, I was not happy with the choice made by my junior sister, but... In the troubled times, for Li'er and Tianming
, may not be a stable place.
Unfortunately, that is really not the safe place I hoped for.
Tianming is, after all, Junior Brother Jing’s heir.
He is destined to bear everything.
"Mrs. Li drives her car, and those who are idle stay away."
Han Shen already knew enough about his junior sister. She was in the Zhaode Palace in the Xianyang Harem. With his current cultivation level and the means of gathering interest, he could safely and directly enter the Zhaode Palace as long as he entered the Xianyang Palace.
.
Then you can see your junior sister.
However... I never thought that before I could use my methods, with my sharp ears, a distant sound of singing rang out, whirling in Han Shen's ears, and his whole expression changed.
Junior sister actually appeared here?
How could she... appear here?
Could it be that when Haotian saw that he was in such a difficult situation, he also wanted to help him and not let himself take such risks? Han Shen's heart moved, his face was happy, and he quietly approached Xun Sheng.
The spiritual awareness spreads, and not far away, a grand group of cars is slowly approaching.
After half a stick of incense.
Looking at the familiar figure in front of me, her face is still as beautiful, no...it seems to be even more beautiful. Time has not left any trace on the junior sister's body, but it only adds to her charm.
After the sound transmission entered the secret, everything was not complicated. In a side hall, Han Shen looked at the beauty in front of him and was speechless for a long time.
If I meet you today, I'm afraid I won't have another chance to see you again.
Involuntarily, deep in my heart, there was even more bitterness spreading.
"Senior brother, Li'er knows you will definitely come."
In the side hall, Gongsun Liping retreated and was alone with Han Shen. She looked at the senior brother in front of her with joy on her face. Last year, her senior brother did not understand her and even laughed at her. She has forgotten those things.
A faint smile appeared on her delicate face and she saluted her senior brother.
"Junior sister."
Han Shen was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Senior brother, you are here to surrender to the Kingdom of Yan. Afterwards... just take Tianming and leave Xianyang. From now on, let Tianming stay by your side and teach him well."
It is no longer possible for him to leave Xianyang Palace. There are still Yangzi and Gaoer here, but... Tianming can no longer stay here. Someone in the palace just told him that his senior brother will secretly enter the palace to see him.
.
It is in the palace area where the side door is located, so I came here. I never thought that I would actually see my senior brother. It was really a surprise. As expected, I entrusted Tianming's affairs to my senior brother and I should feel relieved.
"Junior sister, you...what happened?"
Hearing what the junior sister said, Han Shen's face suddenly flashed with surprise. He remembered that last year, when it came to Tianming's issue, the junior sister would not give in, but now... there have been many changes. She just wanted to let him take Tianming with him.
Depart Xianyang.
It's just that...it's hard for me to leave Xianyang during this trip.
How can it be done.
"It's nothing else, senior brother. Isn't it because of Tianming that you entered the palace this time?"
Gongsun Li shook her head gently. For many years after entering the palace, Tianming's affairs have been on her mind. Now... she is even involved in the competition for the position of Crown Prince of Qin. Even though she doesn't know much about it, she also knows that Tianming cannot interfere with it.
And what the senior brother was afraid of when he entered the palace was for the sake of dawn. As for the other things, Gongsun Li couldn't imagine.
"Tianming is one of them, and the second is to see my junior sister."
"The surrender of the State of Yan is of great importance. When Han Shen enters the palace today, it should be the last time he sees his junior sister. As for dawn..., since my junior sister agreed to let me take him away, I will definitely not let him down."
"It would be even better if Junior Sister... could also leave Xianyang Palace with Tianming."
Han Shen pondered for a few breaths, looked at the junior sister in front of him, and smiled slightly. No matter what happened, it was a good thing that the junior sister let him take Tianming away, even though he could not leave Xianyang Palace.
There are still people in Xianyang who can do it. In a few days, no matter whether it is successful or not, Xianyang will be in chaos. It will be a good day to leave Xianyang at dawn. And junior sister...it would be better if she also leaves Xianyang.
Quietly, Han Shen realized that his junior sister had really promised to leave Xianyang with Tianming...the task at hand didn't matter. Being able to stay with them all the time was enough for this life.
