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

Chapter 254, The Foolish Tiger of Baiyue, My Evil Comes
The next day, in Dongfang, Xinzheng.

Even after the devastation caused by Yan Lingji's fire, the area where the royal family and nobles of Korea resided still boasted rows of mansions.

The Crown Prince's residence was naturally among them.

Because the Crown Prince's residence was occupied by Baiyue assassins, the surrounding streets have now been completely blocked by Korean soldiers, and there are hardly any people around.

Thousands of elite troops surrounded the Crown Prince's residence, and Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, Han Yu, Han Qianqiu, Ji Wuye, Bai Feng, Mo Ya, and others were all on high alert.

The soldiers were only responsible for the siege, while Wei Zhuang and others were the ones who actually rescued the people.

Xu Qing yawned and walked out from behind the soldiers. When Han Fei and the others saw Xu Qing arrive, they all looked over.

"Why is the Imperial Physician here?" Ji Wuye asked, puzzled, looking at Xu Qing who had suddenly appeared.

Today's rescue is crucial to the Crown Prince's safety, and the sudden arrival of Xu Qing, an unrelated person, inevitably aroused Ji Wuye's suspicion.

"Greetings, everyone. I have come here at the invitation of Young Master Jiu," Xu Qing said, nodding to the crowd.

Han Yu, Ji Wuye, and the others looked at Han Fei again, waiting for a reasonable explanation.

"Tianze has a subordinate who is proficient in all poisons and is called the King of Poisons. The area around the Crown Prince's residence is full of poisons. If we want to enter the area to rescue the Crown Prince, we will naturally need Brother Xu's help."

Han Fei chuckled and explained to the crowd.

Xu Qing glanced at Han Fei speechlessly. He had planned to get some rest this morning, but Han Fei and Zhang Liang woke him up early and asked him to prepare the antidote for the Baiyue Curse.

Upon hearing this, Mo Ya immediately summoned a crow to fly towards the Crown Prince's residence. However, the crow was poisoned and fell down the moment it flew over the wall.

Seeing this, Ji Wuye turned to look at Han Fei and said...
“As expected of Ninth Prince, you have thought things through thoroughly. Mo Ya and Bai Feng are my trusted and beloved generals. They will assist you from now on, and all these soldiers will obey your orders.”

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave this to you."

Bai Yifei had already visited Tianze last night, so Ji Wuye was not worried about Han Taizi's safety at all. However, this time he wanted to use Tianze to suppress Han Fei.

Naturally, they wouldn't stay at the scene to avoid being implicated.

"Ninth Young Master," Mo Ya and Bai Feng greeted Han Fei with a slight bow.

Han Yu glanced at Ji Wuye, then at Xu Qing out of the corner of his eye, and after a cold laugh, he said to Han Fei.
"Ninth Brother, Qianqiu is my adopted son. You can instruct him to do anything you need to do. The Imperial Clan Minister wants to discuss something with me. It concerns the royal family, so I have to go."

Han Fei felt helpless as the two men who had been ordered to assist him were about to leave.

Knowing full well that the two men had ulterior motives, Han Fei remained silent. Both Ji Wuye and his fourth brother had entrusted him with their power, thus fulfilling their obligation to assist him.

If something happens to Crown Prince Han or him afterward, since Ji Wuye and his fourth brother were not present, they will not be implicated.

"Then thank you very much, General and Fourth Brother," Han Fei said, cupping his hands in thanks.

Ji Wuye and Han Yu returned the greeting with a bow, then left with their respective groups.

After the two left, Xu Qing walked up to Han Fei, patted him on the shoulder, and said...
"Brother Han Fei, it seems you'll be bearing all the pressure alone this time."

Xu Qing sympathized with Han Fei, and just like in the original story, this difficult task ultimately fell on Han Fei's shoulders.

Everyone else was afraid of getting burned, but Han Fei had no choice but to be put on the spot and burned.

From the moment he returned, some things were destined. "Sigh, my teacher once said, 'Fulfill your duties and live up to the people's expectations; if you have difficulties, you must find a way to overcome them.' There are some things I have no choice but to do," Han Fei said helplessly.

He wanted to be ruthless and ignore Crown Prince Han, letting his fourth brother Han Yu and Ji Wuye fight it out, so he could reap the benefits.

However, he couldn't get past his own conscience. He hoped to change South Korea on his own, and the first thing he needed to change was the flaws of South Korea's rule based on power struggles.

Therefore, he wanted to openly expel Ji Wuye and the others, so that everyone could see his talent and willingly elect him as the King of Han.

Xu Qing looked at Han Fei and shook his head incessantly. He couldn't understand why the Legalist school would produce an idealist like Han Fei.

Compared to Han Fei, his fellow disciple Li Si was much more pragmatic. Knowing his own limited talents, he chose to seek employment in the Qin state.

Han Fei chose the most difficult path, a path full of thorns with no turning back. Every step was extremely difficult, and the slightest mistake could lead to death and the demise of his Dao.

"I hope you won't regret it in the future. Here's what you wanted. Hold the pill in your mouth and it will protect you from the poison of the Baiyue Curse for two hours."

As Xu Qing spoke, he took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and handed it to Han Fei.

Wei Zhuang, Mo Ya, Bai Feng, and Han Qianqiu all looked at the medicine bottle in Han Fei's hand. Whether it was to save or kill the Crown Prince, they all had to go deep into the Crown Prince's residence, and this medicine was the key to saving their lives.

"Thank you, Brother Xu. I'm sorry to have disturbed your peace and quiet. I'll treat you to drinks after this is over," Han Fei said with a smile.

"Let's talk about it after this is over," Xu Qing said with a shrug.

After this incident, Han Fei will probably never have a peaceful day again, since Crown Prince Han and Han Yu will die one after another.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, Mo Ya, Bai Feng, Qian Qiu, you must be careful."

Han Fei distributed the pills to the group. Mo Ya took the pills but did not take them directly. Instead, he summoned a bird and made it take them.

"This matter concerns the rescue of the Crown Prince, so we must be careful. Please forgive us, Imperial Physician," Mo Ya said, bowing to Xu Qing.

"It's right to be careful," Xu Qing said nonchalantly.

Mo Ya's behavior was normal. Apart from someone as daring as Bai Yifei who had gone to the brink of despair, who would dare to take the pills he gave without thinking?

"Thank you for your understanding, Imperial Physician." Mo Ya urged the crow in his hand to fly towards the wall. Under the tense gaze of everyone, the crow circled above the wall and did not die from poisoning.

Seeing this, Mo Ya and the others were completely relieved. They bowed to Han Fei and Xu Qing and began to carry out the plan to rescue the crown prince.

Watching Wei Zhuang, Mo Ya, and the others leave, Xu Qing was about to follow Wei Zhuang to the gate guarded by Wushuang Ghost.

"Brother Xu, where are you going?" Han Fei asked, stopping Xu Qing who was about to leave.

"It's nothing, we're already here, let's go see what's going on," Xu Qing said, sounding like he was looking on with amusement.

Xu Qing, the Unparalleled Ghost, is quite interested in him. He's naturally strong and tough, simple-minded yet obedient—he's practically the perfect bodyguard candidate.

It is said that when they were in Wancheng, if Dian Wei hadn't been drinking and had his weapon with him, he could have definitely ensured that Cao Cao could finish that cannon shot.

Xu Qing was also afraid that he would one day follow in Boss Cao's footsteps, so he had to find himself a reliable bodyguard, and Wushuang Gui was his favorite candidate.

With a body made of steel, immense strength, a simple mind, and the inability to speak, it is an excellent choice for both security and confidentiality.
