Chapter 258 Military Glory

Outside the Han Palace, the wind was rustling and it was so quiet that no sound could be heard.

Until the Qin envoy arrived, in the entire palace, from the King of Han to the ministers, their solemn faces were like ice in winter that melted in spring.

Lord Hanyang of Qin State was younger than they thought. He was said to be only 16 or 78 years old, but his figure and appearance made him appear to be in his twenties.

“I’ve met King Han!”

Zhao Shuang, dressed in black and followed by four guards, came to the center of the palace. Among the two groups of Han ministers, he bowed lightly without showing much respect.

"The Lord of Hanyang has come from afar, but I have never heard of it. I hope you will forgive me for the poor hospitality."

The King of Han treated Zhao Shuang with great courtesy, and even his anger just now, as if someone owed him money, changed now, and he even managed to smile.

The King of Han could naturally weigh the weight of the title Lord Hanyang. Within the Qin State, Lu Buwei's clan and the Queen Mother Huayang's clan have been fighting openly and secretly. However, this Hanyang Lord can move between the two factions with ease, and has even become a faint third force.

"I came from the State of Qin to purchase gifts for our king to be in charge. I didn't want to disturb you. The King of Han is kind and I appreciate it."

Zhao Shuang's performance kept a sufficient distance, even vaguely condescending.

King Han saw it. A young boy dared to do this in front of him. He was naturally angry, but it was hard to get angry.

"What are you talking about, Lord Hanyang? Since you are already here, I will treat you well. I will hold a banquet tomorrow and invite all the ministers to accompany you. Please be sure to honor me, Lord Hanyang."

"The King of Han is very kind, but I will put aside the banquet for the time being. I have something to ask of you."

Has trouble finally come?

King Han thought so in his heart, and the smile on his face grew wider.

"I wonder what kind of trouble Hanyang Jun encountered?"

Zhao Shuang smiled, glanced at Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye, and then focused on King Han.

"I feel ashamed to say that I was robbed."

Just as Zhao Shuang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the palace seemed to be extremely depressed, just like the moment before the water was about to boil.

"Who is so bold?"

King Han didn't want to ask, but he had to ask. In fact, he didn't care at all, whoever he was. But Zhao Shuang's next words suddenly extinguished the atmosphere in the palace that was about to boil.

"Ghost soldiers!"

A cold wind blew in, and everyone in the palace became quiet. King Han, who was sitting on the throne, was even more stumbling.

"Ghost soldiers?"

"Han Yangjun, what happened? What was robbed?"

He stood up with an open mouth and asked carefully.

"I just said that in order to purchase gifts for our king to be in charge, Texi went out to Hangu. He purchased a hundred jars of fine wine from Lingquan Villa, as well as many rare treasures. He wanted to transport them by water and land from South Korea. It was transported to the State of Qin and was robbed when passing through the Ghost Soldier Valley."

"Even if they are ghost soldiers, why would they want to steal the wine? I'm afraid there is some reason for this, right?"

Ji Wuye was very dissatisfied with the boy who suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation, and he was irritating.

Zhao Shuang smiled and looked at Ji Wuye.

"I have received great favor from my king and am holding an army of one hundred thousand men. Wherever my army passes, powerful enemies are like powder at your fingertips. Does General Ji suspect that I am lying?"

"you!"

In this South Korea, Ji Wuye has always used his power to suppress others, but when did he get suppressed by others in turn? But he couldn't get angry, so he could only say something secretly in his heart.

A hundred thousand troops?

When did King Qin put you in charge of a hundred thousand troops?

"I have some clues about this case, and it seems to be a family scandal. My two incompetent prince brothers committed suicide in fear of crime. Before they died, they confessed that they colluded with the commander-in-chief of the Mohist family, cooperated inside and outside, and embezzled hundreds of thousands of Korean army salaries. Presumably Hanyang Jun's wine It’s also about them.”

"oh?"

King Han originally wanted to blame the Mohist leader for this matter. It was rumored that the leader of the Mo family had a close relationship with the Hanyang Lord. The Hanwang originally wanted to kick the ball back, but Zhao Shuang obviously did not let him do so.

"This is strange. In order to ensure my safety, I specially invited the Mohist family to escort me. The leader of the Mohist family was also generous and agreed immediately. He has not been in Xinzheng these days, how can he cooperate with the two brothers of King Han inside and outside? of?"

"this"

King Han was choked to the point of speechlessness, and Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye on the side cast even more angry looks.

The appearance of Zhao Shuang made all Bai Yifei's efforts go to waste.

"Mr. Hanyang said this, does he seem to be covering up?"

Ji Wuye couldn't help it first and spoke.

"General Ji is saying that I lied deliberately just to clear up the relationship with an unrelated person?"

"Isn't it?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhao Shuang laughed loudly and waved his sleeves, his words filled with murderous intent.

"General Su Wenji has been the strongest general in South Korea for a century. He humiliated the Qin State like this. It seems that he thought his military achievements were not outstanding enough and deliberately provoked trouble in order to compete with our Qin army."

"Let's fight. Now the Chu people are standing by, keeping an eye on Nanjun. If the Qin army really comes, I won't be afraid."

Ji Wuye waved his hand, looking like a warrior.

Zhao Shuang smiled and waved gently. The guard behind him took out a document and handed it into King Han's hands.

When King Han saw it, his expression changed. This was a letter of challenge.

"Since General Ji is so kind, I, the Qin Dynasty, dare not to accompany you. My army of one hundred thousand will be approaching Xingkou in the near future. When the time comes, please give me some advice from General Ji. Farewell!"

Zhao Shuang waved his sleeves and walked away. Before he took two steps, he heard King Han's angry shout.

"Ji Wuye is so rebellious, stand down!"

Just when Zhao Shuang took out the letter of challenge, Ji Wuye was stunned. How can anyone directly go to Wang Zhan in a three-on-one match in Landlord?

"promise!"

Ji Wuye retreated angrily, and King Han's smile appeared again on his face.

"Hanyang Lord will stay. South Korea will definitely give Hanyang Lord a satisfactory answer to the matter of the ghost soldiers."

"So, thank you, King Han. However, I hope you will get an answer within ten days."

After Zhao Shuang finished speaking, he walked out of the Hanwang Palace without even saying a courtesy.

King Han stood there and waited until Zhao Shuang disappeared from sight and disappeared into the night. He clasped his hands and said angrily.

"Young and energetic, arrogant!"

For the King of Han, it was certainly not worth risking a war with the Qin army for a case. However, King Han couldn't grasp Zhao Shuang's true intentions.

Qin was promoted to the nobility for his military merits. Did this guy just want to scare him, or did he really intend to find a reason to start a war and earn military merits?

No matter what, I can't give him a reason.

"Kai Kaidi, Ji Wuye, I ordered you to do your best to investigate this case. If nothing is found within eight days, you will be dismissed from office."
