People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 224, Han Guang and Cheng Ying Reunite

Back at his home, Xu Qing also looked solemn, his brow furrowed.

On the table in front of him were more than a dozen pieces of cloth. These small pieces of cloth were from the network of connections that Luo Jing had given her, and now they were all important officials under his command.

Looking at these names and incriminating evidence, Xu Qing's suspicions about Luo Jing deepened.

Most of these people showed no signs of wrongdoing, but a few individuals maintained an extremely low profile in the Korean court for many years, and it was impossible to discern whether they were anti-Qin or serving Qin.

However, upon careful reflection, Xu Qing realized that these individuals seemed to have close ties with other members of the Shi Qin faction under his command, making them appear to be part of a hidden Shi Qin faction. This made Xu Qing even more suspicious of Luo Jing's identity.

"Who exactly sent this person? Was it Qin's net? What is their purpose?" Xu Qing frowned, pondering deeply.

In his heart, he still leaned more towards the idea that Luo Jing was from the Qin state, simply because these people's actions were too close to the Qin state.

Moreover, Qin's network of surveillance has always been used to monitor people of prestige and talent in the six states. Both his talent and prestige are exactly what Qin desperately needs. How could they not send people to win him over and monitor him?

"However, the fact that she was able to hand over these officials to me, especially these few deeply hidden Qin faction members, indicates that she is mainly trying to win them over. Perhaps I can go along with it," Xu Qing thought to himself.

Since he had decided to join Qin, he must first understand the current situation within Qin, see how the various forces were, and find allies for himself.

"Further observation is needed, but since the other party wants to win me over, I can comply first and find out their identity and purpose."

After keeping the matter in mind, Xu Qing temporarily put Luo Jing's matter aside, put the letter to Tianzong into the box, and left home.

Since he had already left the Imperial Hospital, it didn't matter whether he went in the afternoon or not, so he planned to first have someone deliver the letter to Mount Taiyi, and then go to Zilan Pavilion for a stroll.

After leaving home, Xu Qing went to the Mo family stronghold and asked the Mo family disciples to send the box to Taiyi Mountain.

After explaining everything, Xu Qing went to Zilan Pavilion.

"Brother-in-law, you've arrived! Sister Zi Nu, Ninth Young Master Han Fei, and the others are all waiting for you in the backyard," said a girl from Zi Lan Xuan.

"Han Fei? Why is he at Zilan Pavilion instead of going to the Sikou Mansion?" Xu Qing asked in confusion.

Although Han Fei may seem unreliable, Legalists are rarely truly unrestrained and dissolute, especially a Legalist leader like Han Fei. It's highly unlikely that he would lead the way in breaking the law and skipping work to enjoy himself at Zilan Pavilion.

"I don't know, but he and the young master of the Zhang family came in a great hurry, as if something serious had happened," the girl said thoughtfully.

"I see."

Xu Qing nodded slightly. For Han Fei and Zhang Liang to react like this, something must have happened.

However, the case of the Ghost Soldiers' robbery of the funds has been closed, Ji Wuye has not made any move, and Tianze has not been released yet. What could be so urgent for Han Fei and Zhang Liang in Han?
As Xu Qing pondered, he walked towards the backyard of Zi Lan Xuan. Along the way, he encountered many other girls from Zi Lan Xuan. He simply greeted these younger sisters-in-law and then went straight to the courtyard where Zi Nu and the others were.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard Han Fei's impassioned voice.

Inside the room, bright sunlight streamed through the window onto the floor. Han Fei, Zi Nu, Wei Zhuang, and Zhang Liang sat around the table.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, that's precisely why I want to create an organization to resist Ji Wuye and change the state of Han," Han Fei said in a deep voice.

"So you want me to join this organization to help you deal with Ji Wuye, is that it? You should know that I'm not interested in this so-called power game," Wei Zhuang said coldly.

Although he said he wasn't interested, the emotion that flashed in Wei Zhuang's cold eyes still betrayed his true thoughts.

Although he was satisfied with Han Fei's performance in the Ghost Soldiers' robbery of the funds case, he still needed to understand Han Fei's ambitions before deciding whether to support him. "Brother Wei Zhuang, whether you are interested or not, you have to admit that we have already stepped into this power vortex called the world, and this cannot be changed. Although the state of Han is in a bad state now, we may be able to build a completely new Han."

Han Fei gently put down the wine cup, looked calmly at Wei Zhuang, and slowly said.

"How is it different from South Korea today?"

Wei Zhuang's eyes flickered as he looked at Han Fei and asked calmly.

"First, there will never be another person like Ji Wuye; second, there will never be another person like Lord Longquan or Lord Anping!"

Han Fei said calmly.

"That doesn't sound appealing to me at all!"

Wei Zhuang swirled the wine in his glass and said calmly.

"Does Wei Zhuang still remember that game of dividing gold coins at the General's Mansion? The new Han will not be one that seems to have all the advantages but is actually dead, nor will it be one that lives for a little bit of petty gain."

"The new Korea will become number one, and I will rule the world of the seven kingdoms. I want ninety-nine!"

Han Fei spoke slowly, his expression solemn and serious, with a hint of domineering.

Zhang Liang stared at Han Fei in astonishment, his eyes gleaming with admiration. If his previous friendship with Han Fei was merely a matter of personal acquaintance, then Han Fei's performance in the Ghost Soldiers' robbery of supplies had completely won him over.

He believed that Han Fei was the enlightened ruler he and his grandfather had long awaited, and that only Han Fei could save the corrupt state of Han and lead the Zhang clan to restore its glory.

"A world ruled by seven kingdoms, that sounds rather intriguing!"

A faint smile appeared on Wei Zhuang's lips as he looked at Han Fei, who was spouting such arrogant words, and chuckled.

Han Fei's last sentence suited his taste perfectly, and it also coincided with his own thoughts.

"The laws of heaven and earth shall be enforced without fail, using punishment to stop punishment, gathering and scattering the quicksand! I have named this organization Quicksand, not only to earnestly request your assistance!"

Han Fei bowed deeply to Wei Zhuang, Zi Nu, and Zhang Liang.

As soon as Han Fei finished speaking, Zhang Liang immediately stood up and returned the greeting.
“Brother Han is very righteous. My Zhang family has been blessed by the king for generations. Now that the royal family has finally produced a great ruler, I will do my best to support him.”

"Quicksand? That's an interesting organization. I'm looking forward to seeing how you perform." Wei Zhuang's lips curled slightly as he spoke in a cold voice.

Even though he had been moved by Han Fei, Wei Zhuang still maintained his aloof demeanor, acting like a stubborn tsundere.

Zi Nu looked at Han Fei, a complex expression flashing in her purple eyes.

Since Wei Zhuang has already chosen to support Han Fei, whether it's to maintain her cooperation with Wei Zhuang or for her own purposes, she will naturally choose to support Han Fei.

But she's not alone anymore; she has to consider Xu Qing.

Just as Zi Nu was struggling with her decision, the door was suddenly opened, and Xu Qing's slightly frivolous voice rang out.
