Chapter 431 The Enemy
Xianyang.
Han Fei put his hands behind his back and looked out the window.
As a minister, Han Fei had a respected position in Qin. The days of studying in Xiaoshengxianzhuang and being a swinger in Xinzheng seem to have become very long ago.
More than half a year has passed since tens of thousands of heavy armor attacked South Korea that day, and today the situation has stabilized and Wei Zhuang has firmly assumed the position of general.
Han Fei looked at the water in the courtyard and fell into deep thought. For some reason, the impression of South Korea felt so distant now.
With the sound of bumping footsteps, Honglian ran over in small steps, panting and looking a little red.
"Brother, has Wei Zhuang really become a general?"
"Yes!"
There was a military turmoil in South Korea. Honglian was far away in Guanzhong. He only heard a few words and had no deep understanding of what happened there.
When she heard that the war was over, the night was over, and Wei Zhuang had become a general, she was very happy, even a little excited and looking forward to it.
Wei Zhuang became a general, so wouldn't he be a good match for her as a princess?
"elder brother……"
"You want to go back?"
Before Honglian spoke, Han Fei had already guessed what she wanted to say next.
"You'd better not go back. Korea today may not be what you imagined."
Honglian thought Han Fei was talking about her private escape from the kingdom and left the royal capital, so she pulled Han Fei's sleeve.
"I told my father that I missed Brother Ninth, so I came to see you. Brother wrote me a letter and explained the situation for me. My father always loves me the most and will not punish me severely."
Han Fei turned around and looked at Honglian. The innocent look on her face was still the same as before.
What Wei Zhuang did in South Korea was more ruthless than Ji Wuye, and his methods were also higher. Today's quicksand is more powerful than the night of that year.
Honglian went back, fearing that what she saw would be different from what she imagined.
After all, Han Fei still couldn't bear to hurt Honglian's heart, so he flicked her on the forehead and smiled.
"Why, you are tired of staying here with Ninth Brother, so you are so anxious to get married?"
"I hate you, I won't pay attention to you!"
Honglian covered her forehead, her face turned red with embarrassment, turned around and trotted away from here. On the aisle, I bumped into Li Si who came to visit.
Li Si looked at Hong Lian's hurried figure, feeling a little strange. He walked closer and bowed his hands.
"What's wrong with the princess?"
"Without him, Honglian has this kind of temperament."
Han Fei invited Li Si to sit down, and the two drank wine on the bank of the water in the courtyard across the railing.
After a long time, Li Si spoke slowly.
"Senior brother, what do you think of the current situation in Qin?"
Han Fei looked at Li Si, who obviously had something to say.
"you mean?"
"After Prime Minister Lu was expelled, there was an endless quarrel between the relatives and the family. As things in South Korea have completely ended and tens of thousands of heavy armored troops have returned to the division, this dispute may have just begun."
Han Fei has a special status. Although he represents the power of foreigners, he is a Korean prince. In terms of status, he is not much different from Chang Pingjun, a young master of Chu State.
Li Si leaned forward and spoke softly.
"There is news that Lord Changping seems to want to win over senior brother."
Han Fei was a little surprised, looked at Li Si, and asked.
"How does Mr. Changping want to win over me? Could it be that he wants to tie Master Du from Lingquan Villa to my house and make me wine every day?"
"Senior Brother has never thought that Princess Honglian's country is beautiful and fragrant. If she enters the palace and is favored, then Senior Brother's status in the Qin Kingdom will rise to a higher level. One day, she will be granted the title of Prime Minister and be on par with Lord Changping. It’s not impossible.”
Seeing Li Si's serious expression, Han Fei burst into laughter.
"Red Lotus... Royal Palace... No, let me smile first."
Li Si looked at Han Fei, a little confused. Chang Pingjun's wooing was to get Han Fei on his side so that he could better deal with Zhao Shuang. But now, Han Fei seems to have never thought about this.
Han Fei looked at Li Si, smiled, and his eyes became sharp.
"Then you have never thought of becoming the prime minister?"
Han Fei's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and Li Si's greatest desire seemed to be revealed just like this. Li Si wanted to deny it, but under Han Fei's gaze, he couldn't.
"How difficult it is to become the prime minister!"
The prime ministers of the Qin Dynasty in the past dynasties were either of prominent origins or had great achievements, or they were of prominent origins and had great achievements. Although Li Si's introduction to Cai Buyi was appreciated by the King of Qin, there were many people in the Qin court who were more senior and accomplished than him.
The only way to stand out is to establish great achievements.
However, in recent years, Zheng Guo Canal has come to an end, and Qin's economic focus has been on the final part of the project. The Qin State paid more attention to technical talents who were proficient in engineering, such as the current Prime Minister Zuo Wei Zhuang.
Li Si has learned a lot in his life, but he has not yet stepped onto a bigger stage. If he wants to be the prime minister, neither his qualifications nor his merits are enough now.
"In comparison, senior brother is more likely."
Li Si could feel the King of Qin's appreciation and reliance on Han Fei. He felt a little disappointed. If Han Fei became a relative, then there would be no competitive relationship with Li Si.
But Han Fei obviously didn't think about it. But I saw him waving his sleeves, picking up the wine baron and taking a sip.
Things in South Korea are just a starting point at best, and the internal disputes in Qin may have just begun. As Lu Buwei's forces completely withdraw from the stage of Qin, the battle between Changping Lord and Hanyang Lord is likely to become more intense.
As the wind blew up, Han Fei turned and looked into the distance, lost in thought.
An era may have truly passed.
"Where are Xuanjian and Jing salamander?"
Zhao Gao looked cold and questioned the sun in front of him.
"Huayang City suddenly appeared and disappeared again. My subordinates suspected that they left through the channels of the Mo family, but we couldn't trace it. The Korean army not only hunted down the farmers, but also the people who were caught in the trap!"
For Luo Wang, those two swords were important, but Jing Salad and Xuan Jian, two top-notch killers, were even more important.
"Zhao Shuang's hand is really beautiful. With Han Jun's hand, he swept away all the people he disliked." Zhao Gao said this and looked at Zhenri, "How is Longji?"
"She seems to be going well there. She is following the Mohist disciples and has not been implicated this time."
"This chess piece has great use. It is very crucial to deal with the Mo family."
"My subordinate understands."
In the bamboo house, the wind came through. Zhao Gao raised the cup beside him.
"After this battle, Lord Changping may not hold back Zhao Shuang as usual."
"Will they break up?"
Zhao Gao nodded.
"There's still a fire left."
"What did the leader mean?"
"Lu Buwei!"
Zhao Gao drank the wine in the glass in one sip, feeling a surge of heat that dispelled the chill brought by the mountain wind.
"If we don't get rid of this big enemy, Luo Wang will not be able to gain the trust of the Qin State and become stronger, and the relationship between Lord Changping and Lord Hanyang will not be completely broken."
