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

Chapter 266, Cooperation

“Yes, Tianze is a serious external threat, but there are many ways to deal with it. On the contrary, it is an internal problem. If it is not handled properly, it will affect the entire country of Korea,” Han Fei said in a deep voice.

After Crown Prince Han was captured, his fourth brother and Ji Wuye became closer, clearly intending to cooperate with him to plot for the throne.

If the two were to form an alliance, the balance of power in the court would be disrupted, and he, Zhang Kaidi, and Xu Qing might not be able to stop them.

"This is your chance, a chance to secure your future once and for all. Although you've missed the best opportunity, it's not too late," Wei Zhuang said coldly.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, you know I'm not that kind of person, and I couldn't do such a thing," Han Fei said helplessly to Wei Zhuang.

The opportunity Wei Zhuang mentioned was to ignore Tian Ze and let him kill Crown Prince Han and his father. As for his fourth brother, because of his lameness, he had already been deemed to have lost his right to inherit the throne.

Once his elder brother, the crown prince, and his father are both dead, he can legitimately become the King of Han.

"So Han Yu is more suited to play this power game than you. He only cares about interests and doesn't care about family ties," Wei Zhuang said coldly.

“But that kind of South Korea is definitely not the South Korea we want to see, is it?” Han Fei shrugged and said.

Wei Zhuang looked coldly at Han Fei, and Han Fei looked helplessly at Wei Zhuang. The two gazed at each other with deep affection.

Seeing the two exuding such bromance, Xu Qing was genuinely afraid they would suddenly kiss.

"Alright, I'll leave the affairs of the court to you. I'll take care of Tianze. Everyone, go ahead and do your respective tasks," Xu Qing said, interrupting the two men's staring contest.

Wei Zhuang withdrew his gaze, and Han Fei nodded to Xu Qing.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Xu."

"Ah."

"Zifang, Brother Weizhuang, come with me to try and balance things out in the court."

"Yes, Brother Han Fei."

Han Fei and Zhang Liang bowed slightly to Xu Qing, then turned and left, preparing to sow discord between Han Yu and Ji Wuye.

After watching the three leave, Xu Qing also got up and walked towards Zi Nu's room, intending to find Zi Nu to comfort his wounded heart.

After all, the succubus was too crazy last night, scaring him half to death.

After walking along two paths, Xu Qing arrived at Zi Nu's courtyard.

Pushing open the door, Xu Qing saw Zi Nu sitting by the window.

When Zi Nu saw Xu Qing arrive, a captivating smile appeared on her pretty face. Her purple eyes gazed at Xu Qing with tender affection, and her mature, sophisticated voice rang out.

"Have you finished talking with Han Fei and the others?"

"Yes, I've taken on a lot of trouble for myself. Not only do I have to worry about Han Wang'an's health, but I also have to investigate the identity of the Tide Demoness. Now I also have to help find Tianze and save Prince Honglian."

Xu Qing walked over and sat down next to Zi Nu, resting his head on her shoulder, and said wearily.

Seeing the exhausted Xu Qing, Zi Nu's beautiful eyes flashed with heartache. She reached out and gently rubbed Xu Qing's head, speaking softly...

"You've really gone through a lot of trouble. If all else fails, you can have Nongyu enter the palace to help you."

"Let's talk about it later. The situation inside the palace is a bit complicated, and I'm worried about her safety."

Xu Qing buried his head in Zi Nu's neck, inhaling the faint fragrance from her hair, and hugged her like a child.

Zi Nu looked at Xu Qing with a helpless and doting expression, holding him with one arm and massaging his acupoints with the other, displaying her maternal instincts like a caring older sister.

"You don't need to work so hard. You didn't come home all night, so you probably didn't get much rest. Do you want to get some sleep?"

As Zi Nu spoke, she moved back a couple of steps, revealing her beautiful legs, clad in black stockings, from under the table, indicating that Xu Qing could rest his head on her legs and sleep for a while.

Xu Qing leaned on Zi Nu's shoulder, feeling a mix of emotions. Zi Nu was simply the embodiment of understanding and compassion.

Although Zi Nu didn't mention it, Xu Qing knew that the silly girl Nong Yu would definitely be honest with Zi Nu, but regarding Zi Nu's situation, the two must have reached an agreement. Although he didn't know exactly what they discussed, as long as the outcome was good, that was enough.

As I said before, escaping may be shameful, but it can be useful.

"No, I promised Han Fei I would go to rescue Honglian. I also need to inform Han Fei, the leader of the Mo family, and Situ Wanli of the Qianlong Hall, so they can mobilize manpower to find Tianze."

"Keep the Mo Clan Commander's token I gave you safe. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, and I'm not around to help you right now, just go find Boss Han or Situ Wanli. I've already spoken to them."

With the day of Ying Zheng's arrival in Korea drawing ever closer, Xu Qing will have to leave Korea sooner or later, so it is essential to arrange for the safety of Zi Lan Xuan.

Even if Han Fei and Ji Wuye go to war, with the protection of the Mohists and the Farmers, no matter how bold Ji Wuye is, he won't dare to lay a hand on Zi Lanxuan and Zi Nu, unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

"You're like a leech, always sticking to me. How could I possibly use this token?"

Zi Nu chuckled lightly, teasingly, but a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, which quickly disappeared.

She was willing to give up on Qing, that scoundrel, but she had to fulfill her mission; it was her destiny.

It would be best if she could survive, but it wouldn't matter if something unexpected happened, since there was still Nongyu to take her place and prevent Xu Qing from doing anything irrational.

Just in case, okay, I have to go now. Wait for me to come back tonight.

"it is good."

Xu Qing reluctantly got up from Zi Nu's body, intending to go home first to retrieve the Cheng Ying Sword, and then go to inform the Mo family and the Nong family to go find someone.

Just as Xu Qing began to take action, Zhang Liang also arrived at Han Yu's residence, intending to request an audience with Han Yu.

"Young Master Zhang, I am truly sorry, but our Fourth Young Master has gone out to visit someone and is not at home," Han Yu's retainer said apologetically.

"May I ask where the Fourth Young Master is going?" Zhang Liang asked nervously, sensing something was wrong.

"I don't know about that. I'm also unsure when the Fourth Young Master will return. You may return for now. If he does return, I will inform him of your visit," the retainer continued.

Seeing that his retainer was unwilling to say more, Zhang Liang became even more certain of his guess, so he cupped his hands and said...

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

"Don't dare."

After bidding farewell to his retainers, Zhang Liang anxiously went to find Han Fei.

Since Han Yu is not in the manor, he has most likely gone to find Ji Wuye. He must inform Han Fei of this as soon as possible so that he can prepare.

At the same time, a special guest arrived at Ji Wuye's General's Mansion, a guest that Ji Wuye had never expected.

Inside the main hall of the General's Mansion.

Han Yu removed the cloak that concealed his figure and face. After seeing Han Yu's appearance clearly, a strange light flashed in Ji Wuye's eyes.

"What a rare guest! Is this the first time the Fourth Young Master has visited me privately? And in such a discreet manner."

Ji Wuye looked at Han Yu, his eyes slightly narrowed, sizing him up. A playful smile appeared on his rugged face as he spoke in a sinister tone.

Han Yu and he had always been mortal enemies, and he even suspected that he had caused the other's leg to become crippled. Later, he joined forces with Xu Qing to cripple Han Yu.

Although Han Yu later returned to the court, his strength was not what it used to be, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the two were mortal enemies.

Now that the other party was visiting him in such a mysterious manner, Ji Wuye couldn't help but become wary.

"Naturally, it's for the sake of cooperation."

Han Yu slowly raised his head, his gentle face as amiable as ever, a faint smile on his lips, and said softly.
