Chapter 418 Gambler

Clear river.

There was a disturbance among the trees.

A black shadow fell with a spear stuck in its body, like a prey caught in a hunter's trap, unable to do anything but struggle.

Although there are trees covering the cliff behind, you can still see the camp that the Korean army is building on the Qinghe River.

The gray bird struggled and kept retreating. But he saw Qin soldiers wearing armor slowly coming toward him. They were tall and tall, with cold and resolute faces, and the murderous aura on their bodies was even more shocking.

And among these soldiers, a man came slowly. His gaze touched the gray bird, which made the gray bird feel a chill.

"Are you Zhao Shuang?"

Zhao Shuang lowered his head and glanced at the stabbed Gray Bird, feeling somewhat impressed by him.

"A person from Bai Niao?"

"Why did you come so fast?"

Zhao Shuang had no intention of paying attention to him, and walked forward alone, walking onto the cliff.

Gray Bird's vision became increasingly blurry, and the soldiers of the Qin Army stepped forward to touch up their wounds. Gray Bird vaguely heard a sound.

"Your Majesty, all the twenty-three outposts of the Korean army have been removed. Among them, there seems to be people from the Jianghu."

"That's Bai Niao, how's it going?"

"Kill them all!"

All the birds... were all eliminated by the Qin army?

Gray Bird thought so, becoming more and more powerless.

"The Korean army is weak, and the general has no plan and is easy to capture. The Korean army's scouts have all been destroyed. Time does not wait for us. We must march immediately and eliminate the Korean army on the Qinghe River."

"promise!"

At the last moment of his life, Gray Bird thought of Ji Yihu's words last night vowing to capture Zhao Shuang, and felt ridiculous. However, all of this is no longer important to Gray Bird.

The soldier pulled out the spear that had pierced the gray bird's body, and a large amount of blood poured out. The cold feeling spread all over the body, and Gray Bird's eyes gradually became dull.

"What happened to the Qin army?"

Above the court, King Han looked anxiously at Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye was full of confidence and said with cupped hands.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Qin army only has tens of thousands of troops, and Xiaoer Yihu will definitely hold it back outside the Qinghe River."

The military report from the front has not yet been sent, but Ji Wuye expected that there would not be many important matters in the next few days.

After hearing this, King Han felt a little relieved and leaned back.

"That's good. If Ji Yihu can really make meritorious service for our country, then after repelling the Qin army, I will honor the princess. I will personally preside over his marriage."

When Ji Wuye heard this, he felt happy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

However, Ji Wuye hadn't been happy for long before she saw Prince Han staggering in. His body was weak, but he didn't know whether he was worried or smiling.

"Where have you been to come so late?"

"Father, forgive me. I just heard some news..."

"what news!"

King Han became increasingly dissatisfied with Prince Han's weakness.

"I heard from the disciples that the Qin army has arrived at Qinghechuan!"

Prince Han's words made everyone in the court smile. King Han frowned and waved his sleeves.

"Where did you hear the gossip? The Qin army had just left Hangu and had not yet reached Sanchuan. How could they reach Qinghechuan?"

Facing the majestic gaze of King Han, Prince Han was submissive.

Just when Prince Han was about to open his mouth to defend himself, a military report came from outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, urgent military situation."

A general covered in blood walked into the palace with the support of his chamberlain. For a moment, all the courtiers noticed something was wrong and kept silent.

"How is the battle ahead?"

King Han asked, but saw the general kneeling on the ground, crying.

"The Qin army made a surprise attack on Qinghechuan and defeated our army. Now the vanguard has reached Huayang."

"What did you say!"

After hearing the news, the most horrified person was not King Han, but Ji Wuye. He grabbed the general's sleeve and asked.

"How is Yihu?"

"General Yihu was among the rebellious troops and was killed by Qin general Zhao Shuang in the formation."

"No, that's impossible!"

Ji Wuye was so angry that he felt a sweetness in his throat and his body couldn't bear it.

"General!"

A group of people wanted to help, but Ji Wuye reached out to stop him. His body was bowed like a shrimp, his hair was messy, and he looked at Han Yu with a pair of eyes, but the other party never looked back and just pretended not to see.

Then, Ji Wuye looked at Bai Yifei, who turned his head, and there was a hint of teasing in the corner of his eye.

In the huge court, Ji Wuye didn't have a single helper. And everyone's attention is not on this.

"Bai Yifei, what should we do if the Qin army attacks?"

The cold and somewhat panicked voice of King Han sounded behind Ji Wuye, and Bai Yifei just smiled. At this moment, he tried his best to add insult to injury.

"The general can be asked to personally go out and sit in Huayang to protect the Xinzheng portal."

Unable to express his anger, Ji Wuye could only focus on that name and shouted loudly.

"Zhao Shuang!"

Ji Wuye's words startled everyone in the palace. Just when someone was about to accuse Ji Wuye of violating the rules of conduct in front of the palace, they saw Ji Wuye fall down with a plop.

King Han was a little unhappy, but suppressed it.

"Come with the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the general."

In the dark room, Han Yu sat alone, eyes closed, waiting.

Han Qiancheng led a person through the corridor where no one was stationed and arrived at the house where Han Yu was.

Han Yu opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

Situ Wanli looked at Han Yu and bowed.

"How did Zheng Chu promise me?"

Facing Han Yu's angry voice, Situ Wanli bowed lightly.

"The Qin army came here with only tens of thousands of people. In fact, this is indeed the case."

"That's not what I wanted to hear!"

Han Yu lost his former magnanimity and looked very angry.

"The Qin army is coming. If Zhao Shuang breaks through Huayang and advances to Xinzheng, I will be finished and Lord Changping will not be able to recover."

"Qianlongtang is just pulling the strings. Whether it's Young Master Fuchu or Lord Changping, the affairs of these big shots cannot be controlled by the small Qianlongtang."

Compared to Han Yu, Situ Wanli seemed very calm.

"However, that is not the case. After all, Huayang is a fortified city. In the past, it was besieged by Zhao Wei and it was able to hold on to the end. Not to mention that there are only tens of thousands of Qin troops now?"

Situ Wanli pushed 256, obviously trying to escape in a hurry. Han Yu suddenly discovered that his plan, which he thought was watertight, turned out to be so fragile under the absolute force.

Whether it is Lord Changping or Prince Fu, the light of their power seems so dim under the illustrious military might.

Han Yu knew clearly that he was standing at a key node. In front of him was King Han's throne, and behind him was a cliff.

If you can't take another step forward, then it's already clear what's waiting for you.

Han Yu raised his head and looked at Situ Wanli.

"Tell Fu Chu that if he helps me this time, I will give him ten more cities in return."

"I will answer the message." Situ Wanli bowed his hand and advised, "But when a good gambler has already lost a lot, the best way is to get out in time before losing everything."

Han Yu glanced at Situ Wanli and asked with a smile.

"Are you that kind of a gambler?"

Situ Wanli bowed sincerely.

"no!"

Han Yu laughed, but after all, there was a bit of determination and helplessness in his smile.
