Zhang Liang, Zi Nu, Gongsun Sheng and others all frowned, obviously knowing the news that the Qin envoy had been killed.
"What a troubled time!"
Gongsun Sheng sighed, this matter was different from their fight with Ji Wuye. The Qin State was an existence that they, Ji Wuye, and the whole of South Korea, including the King of Han, could not resist. It was hard to say
It may lead to war.
"Brother Wei Zhuang, is there still no news from Tianze?"
"Qijuetang is still tracking."
Wei Zhuang's always cold voice seemed to be mixed with a trace of annoyance.
"Lady Flame?"
Gongsun Sheng looked at Yan Lingji on the other side who was looking beautifully in the mirror.
Compared to their generally gloomy faces, Yan Lingji seemed a little out of place at this time. After all, she was not Korean, and she only had a short-term cooperative relationship with Han Fei. Whether Qin came or not would not matter.
"There is no news from Scorpio Sect yet."
She shook her head.
"well……"
Zhang Liang sighed, "Brother Han is a Sikou, and Tianze is a prisoner waiting to be arrested. I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to enter the palace this time."
Just when they were thinking hard about finding a countermeasure, Han Fei came back from the palace.
Except for Yan Lingji, everyone looked at him intently, with questions, concerns, encouragement and relief in their eyes. Han Fei was slightly startled: "Hey, hey, hey, don't all use such words."
Can you look at me with affectionate eyes? I will mistakenly think that my time is running out."
However, this time, his gag did not help to ease the atmosphere. Seeing that everyone was still looking at him like this, Han Fei curled his lips, shrugged and spread his hands: "Okay, okay, isn't it just that he was scolded and then broke the deadline?"
What? I'm used to it already."
After that, he straightened his expression and said, "So we can't remain so passive anymore. We have to find a way to lure the snake out of its hole."
"Looking at all Tianze's actions, they are all about revenge, from retaliating against the Baiyue survivors who abandoned him, to trying to use the power of Qin to retaliate against South Korea..."
Zhang Liang analyzed carefully, "If you want to lure out this red-browed snake, you must choose a target that makes him very excited."
"What could make Tianze's heart more excited than the envoys of Qin?"
Zi Nu murmured, "Even if envoys from other countries come at this time, they may not be able to attract Tianze to take action again, right?"
This is indeed true. After all, the one with the strongest desire for expansion nowadays is the Qin State. He is the type who will make up someone and then send troops to attack you without any excuse, let alone giving him a suitable reason.
Although South Korea cannot afford to offend other countries, if they really intend to send troops to attack South Korea, South Korea will at worst ask Qin for help!
No one can defeat it anyway, and it will be over if it fails.
Analyzed from this perspective, even if Tianze attacks another country's mission, it will not make South Korea's current situation any worse, because it has almost hit the bottom now.
"No, your thinking has fallen into a misunderstanding."
However, Han Fei said confidently, "Retaliating against South Korea is indeed Tianze's goal, and perhaps it was once the biggest goal, but the situation is different now."
He turned his attention to Yan Lingji, "Since you announced the deposed warrant."
"You mean..."
Gongsun Sheng vaguely understood his thoughts.
"Yes, in Tianze today, the one who is most eager for revenge is probably not South Korea, but you."
His words were sonorous, as if he was sure of everything.
"Do you want me to be the bait? No problem."
Yan Lingji agreed happily.
"No, I'm afraid you alone are not enough, and Tianze has already fought with you, and his anger towards you has been vented."
Han Fei shook his head, "We need to send out a message. Let's say that important figures from your school will come to Xinzheng as envoys to discuss with South Korea how to deal with Tianze and subsequent cooperation. How about it?"
"Brother Han, this is murderous and heart-breaking!"
Gongsun Sheng stroked his palm and praised, "This is a wonderful plan!"
One is the old hatred that destroyed Tianze and imprisoned him for ten years, and the other is the new hatred that just deprived him of his most proud identity. These two groups still need to sit together to discuss how to concoct him and who to replace him with. I can't bear it!
…
…
Qin State.
The news that the envoy was accidentally killed has spread back to Qin State, and the court is furious!
How many years has it been since anyone dared to provoke them like this?
The generals were clamoring one by one to send troops to teach South Korea a lesson and let them know the consequences of provoking Qin.
However, the civil servants did not quite agree, because this incident was a complete accident. They were still using troops against Zhao State on the other side, so it was not a good idea to rashly start a two-front war.
Nowadays, the Zhengguo Canal has not yet been completed, and the Guanzhong Plain has not yet become fertile wilderness. Although there are supplies from Bashu granaries, the logistical pressure on grain and grass is still great.
In the words of Prime Minister Lu Buwei, if something can be easily obtained through intimidation, why bother to mobilize troops and waste a lot of money? The cost of sending an army is so huge, and the cost-effectiveness of sending troops directly is too low.
In this way, what they need is a candidate who can win sufficient benefits for Qin through his sharp tongue.
It was really hard to find such a person for a while. Those with high status would not appreciate such a small amount of credit, and those with low status may not have enough abilities.
At this moment, Li Si, who came to Qin almost at the same time as Han Fei returned home, saw his opportunity.
He found an opportunity alone to stop Lu Buwei's bicycle in a quiet place, and then recommended himself to express his willingness to be the envoy.
After a brief test of him, Lu Buwei felt that this person was indeed a talent, so he gave him the job and accepted Li Si as a guest.
Coincidentally, the King of Qin, who was almost old but still unable to rule personally, also became interested in South Korea. To be precise, he became very interested in a person living there.
Therefore, he secretly sneaked out of the palace with only one personal guard and headed towards South Korea.
Even though King Qin had made some arrangements in the palace, his control over the palace at this time was really not very good. It didn't take long for others to see through it, and the news was quickly sent to the Prime Minister Lu Buwei's house.
"Zheng'er...has left the palace?"
Lu Buwei gently stroked his beard, "Do you know where he went?"
"Judging from the traces, it's the direction of South Korea."
"Korea..."
He pondered, "This is a dangerous place, and there are even murderers who dare to kill my envoy of Great Qin... Who was the one who dealt with Lord Chang'an last time?"
"It's Xuanjian who is returning to the Prime Minister's Kingdom."
"Then let him go this time too. Only one sharp blade stained with the blood of the royal family is enough."
Lu Buwei waved his hand and gave instructions lightly.
"yes!"
The figure in black with a spider mark tattooed on his neck responded respectfully and then left quietly.
