Simultaneous travel: Each of me has a different golden finger

Chapter 281 Ying Zheng
The sky of Xinzheng seemed to be painted with thick ink, and the heavy clouds made it hard to breathe.

Bai Jing stood in the rebuilt courtyard of Zilanxuan, holding a roll of thin paper in his hand. This was a treasure he had learned from the inheritance of the Six Sages of Farming Family.

Soldiers, calendar, herbs, farming, water conservancy, music, the mysteries of the six paths of inheritance flowed in Bai Jing's mind, but his thoughts were not on what was in front of him.

"The news that Tianze killed the Qin envoy has finally arrived." Zi Nu walked over slowly, holding a cup of tea.

"Qin will not give up."

She gently placed the teacup next to Bai Jing's hand: "What do you think?"

Bai Jing smiled faintly, and tapped the teacup with his fingertips: "Qin is strong, and Han is weak."

"The Qin envoy was killed. If Han fails to respond properly, it will lead to the destruction of the country. Unfortunately, the King of Han and the people in the court may not be able to see the situation clearly."

Zi Nu frowned slightly: "You look at it with ease."

Bai Jing tilted his head slightly: "Because this chess game has nothing to do with me."

Zi Nu was stunned.

"But you are in South Korea now. If Qin gets angry, you will be implicated as well."

"Involved?"

Bai Jing chuckled: "If the Qin State wants to implicate me, it depends on whether they have the ability to do so."

Zi Nu was stunned.

Ying Zheng...

The next day.

Inside the Xinzheng Palace, the atmosphere in the main hall was as cold as ice.

The King of Han sat upright on the high platform, his face pale, as he had not slept last night.

"The Qin envoy was killed, and the Qin State was furious."

The King of Han looked at his ministers and asked, "My dear ministers, do you have any good ideas on how to calm the anger of Qin?"

silence.

After a while.

"Cease territory and pay compensation." said the Korean general Ji Wuye.

"Qin is powerful. If Han resists, it will surely be destroyed. The only way to survive is to cede land and pay Qin enough money and silk."

When these words were spoken, the court was shocked.

"Cede the land?"

"If we give up our country, wouldn't that be cutting off our own foundation?"

Ji Wuye snorted coldly: "Foundation? If South Korea is destroyed, how can we talk about foundation?"

Zhang Kai bowed and said, "What the general said may not be unreasonable."

"Qin is now unstoppable, and South Korea is indeed difficult to defeat. Although ceding territory and paying compensation is not a long-term solution, it can temporarily preserve South Korea."

Han Fei, standing aside, also smiled bitterly when he heard Zhang Kaidi's speech.

"It's true that a weak country has no diplomacy."

After the morning court was over, Han Fei walked out of the palace alone.

Zhang Liang quickly caught up with him and asked, "Sir, what do you think of what happened today?"

Han Fei smiled bitterly: "What else can we do? Ceding territory and paying compensation is the weakest gesture, but given South Korea's current situation, what else can we do except being weak?"

Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then...sir, do you have any other countermeasures?"

Han Fei stopped and said, "Of course there is a solution."

"Unfortunately, Ji Wuye won't agree."

Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Call the quicksand to discuss countermeasures."

Since there is no one available in the court, we have to rely on ourselves...

The reconstruction of Zilanxuan was faster than expected.

When he opened the door, Han Fei walked in with a cold wind.

Zi Nu, Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang were all in the hall, and Bai Jing sat in the corner with his eyes closed to rest.

"Brother Bai."

Han Fei walked quickly to Bai Jing's side and said, "In the court today, Ji Wuye proposed to cede land and pay compensation, and Zhang Kaidi agreed. I was powerless to object."

Bai Jing opened his eyes: "So?"

Han Fei smiled bitterly: "So, I would like to ask Brother Bai to lend me a hand."

"help you?"

Bai Jing raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you want to do?"

Han Fei whispered, "If Qin is angry with Han just because the Qin envoy was killed, it would be too much. I think... we should give Qin people a taste of their own medicine."

"Oh?"

Bai Jing's lips curled slightly: "How exactly?" Han Fei said: "Qin is strong and no one can defeat it."

"But if we can set up a trap and let the Qin people fight among themselves, maybe we can buy some time."

"Brother Bai, you have a great reputation among the Qin high-ranking officials. I heard that Li Si has come to Xinzheng as the second Qin envoy. In addition to punishing Han, I am afraid he has other purposes."

Bai Jing chuckled: "Like you want to recruit me?"

Han Fei nodded: "That's right."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"Reject him."

Bai Jing raised his eyebrows: "Reject him, then what?"

Han Fei said: "As long as Li Si returns to Qin, he will report your attitude to King Qin Ying Zheng truthfully."

"By then, there will inevitably be disagreements within the Qin State."

"If Lu Buwei fails to recruit you, he will inevitably be suspected by Ying Zheng."

"What we need to do is to expand this difference!"

a few days later.

Outside the city of Xinzheng, a team of carriages and horses slowly approached.

The leader was wearing a green robe and had a stern face.

It was Li Si, the prime minister of Qin State.

Li Si whispered, "South Korea is really at the end of its rope."

The attendant beside him whispered, "Shangqing, do you really want to meet that Taoist of Tianzong?"

Li Si smiled coldly: "Prime Minister Lu ordered me to come here to test this man. If he is willing to work for the Prime Minister, it would be the best."

The attendant hesitated and asked, "What if he refuses?"

"reject?"

Li Si narrowed his eyes slightly: "That's the enemy."

Inside the Zilan Pavilion.

Li Si sat upright in the hall.

Han Fei sat opposite him and asked: "Li Shangqing, you have come from afar, what can I do for you?"

Li Si smiled slightly: "Master Han, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer?"

"The Qin envoy was killed, and the Qin State was furious. I came here not only to question the culprit for this matter, but also for another matter... I want to visit a master in your place."

Han Fei raised his eyebrows slightly: "I wonder who this expert is?"

Li Si smiled faintly: "Tianzong Daozi Bai Jing."

Han Fei said, "Li Shangqing wants to see Brother Bai. I can pass the message on for you."

"But whether Brother Bai wants to see it or not is not something I can control."

Li Si was very unhappy when he heard this: "Mr. Han, you and Bai Jing are both in Zilanxuan, so you must have a close relationship."

"Why not serve as a matchmaker for our Qin State and create a good story?"

Han Fei chuckled: "Brother Bai is always easy-going. If he has any objections to Li Shangqing, he will come in person. If he doesn't, how can I force him?"

Li Si narrowed his eyes slightly: "Bai Jing is now famous in the seven countries, even the Prime Minister admires him."

"If he is willing to join Qin, he will surely be valued by the Prime Minister, and even work with His Majesty Ying Zheng to achieve hegemony."

"Could it be that he would not be tempted by such an opportunity?"

Han Fei lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then put the teacup down, smiling: "Li Shangqing thinks highly of me."

"Brother Bai is such a great man, why would he care about these mundane matters? If he is willing to serve, it will be a blessing for the world."

"If he doesn't want to, it won't help even if the King of Qin comes in person."

After hearing this, Li Si was very angry.

Of course he knew Bai Jing's reputation.

It was because he knew this that he came to test it in person.

But Li Si also felt difficult when faced with the rumors about Bai Jing.

This is a person who even defeated the Six Sages of Farming. It is even rumored that he is the descendant of the God of Death Bai Qi.

Both his intelligence and martial arts were beyond the realm of mortals.

Li Si pondered for a moment and sneered, "If that's the case, please tell Bai Jing for me, Mr. Han."

"Qin is treating me with courtesy. I only hope to have a conversation with him. I won't stay long."

"I must pass it on."

Han Fei nodded slightly, but he knew in his heart that Li Si's arrival was not just to recruit Bai Jing.
