Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai
Chapter 197: We must never allow Sichuan to fall into the hands of a mere outlaw.
These past two days, as Azhu has been by Qin Han's side, she has increasingly felt that this Qin leader is different from the legends.
Despite being a powerful figure who controls the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, he has no airs whatsoever and is very kind to me.
Especially when he was seriously pondering a problem, his focused expression always made A'Zhu's heart beat faster involuntarily.
"Um?"
Qin Han responded and put the letter aside for the time being.
Looking at the pretty woman beside him, he noticed she seemed hesitant to speak.
Qin Han feigned ignorance, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and asked with a smile, "Miss A'Zhu, is something on your mind?"
Azhu blushed even more when he looked at her like that.
I'm torn between my inner thoughts and my own.
Doctor Xue is right. Relying on himself, he probably will never find his parents and sister in his entire life.
The only hope lies in the man before her.
But... but how am I supposed to bring this up?
"I...I..."
Azhu tried for a long time, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Qin Han didn't urge her; he just smiled and looked at her, wanting to see how far this intelligent girl could go.
As if she had made up her mind, she looked directly at Qin Han with her watery eyes, as if she was going all out.
"Master Qin! A'Zhu...A'Zhu wants to ask you for a favor!"
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"I want... to ask you to help me find my biological parents and my sister!"
Azhu finished speaking in one breath, as if she had used up all her courage, her chest heaving violently.
Knowing that she and this man were not related, making such a request was actually very abrupt.
"My younger sister's name is Azi. She was very young when we were separated... As for my parents, I... I have no memory of them at all..."
As she spoke, A-Zhu's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with tears, making her appear pitiful and fragile.
Qin Han put down his teacup, a thought suddenly occurring to him.
Azi? Duan Zhengchun?
The location of these two individuals is uncertain, but Ruan Xingzhu is in Sichuan.
Looking at this pitiful beauty from Jiangnan, there was no reason for me to hesitate about this opportunity that had come to me.
He walked up to Azhu and reached out to put his arm around her slender waist.
"what!"
Azhu exclaimed in surprise, her body stiffening for no apparent reason.
She tried to struggle, but found her body too weak to muster any strength, and her cheeks burned.
"It's just finding someone, a small matter."
Qin Han's voice rang in A Zhu's ear, and his warm breath tickled her ear.
This unsettled A'Zhu.
Leaning against Qin Han's broad chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, she, who was already prepared, obediently nodded and looked at Qin Han with her watery eyes.
Upon seeing this, Qin Han thought to himself: It smells so good.
Feeling reassured, I was ready to take the next step and get closer to him.
"Reporting to Master!"
A Taoist female voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Ju Jian stood at the door with a plate of fruit in his hand.
Like a startled fawn, Azhu hurriedly broke free from Qin Han's embrace, frantically straightening her clothes. Anyone who didn't know better would think the two of them had done something.
Qin Han: "..."
This girl really came at the worst possible time.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Kikuken's face.
This girl completely ruined the good atmosphere.
But now is definitely not the time to indulge in women. Haven't you noticed that he hasn't even been to Lingjiu Palace once?
Otherwise, they probably would have known that there was another Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling on Mount Tian.
The situation in Sichuan appears stable, but undercurrents are turbulent.
"cough."
Qin Han coughed lightly, covering his embarrassment with a stern face.
"Come in, and tell me what's wrong."
Ju Jian placed the fruit plate on the stone table, glanced at A Zhu who was blushing beside him, and guessed that she was another mistress.
As Qin Han's personal maids, the four sisters, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, took turns reporting important matters to him each day.
Chrysanthemum Sword bowed and said, "I have a few important matters to report to you, Master."
"According to our scouts, after retreating, Wanyan Zongbi did not go far, but set up a series of camps at Tiemenguan, 180 li outside Shuzhou City, and it seems that he has no intention of giving up."
Iron Gate Pass?
Qin Han walked to the geomantic map to the side and his gaze fell on that location.
The Iron Gate Pass has a wide terrain, making it easy to station a large army.
Wanyan Zongbi stationed his army there, clearly showing that he was still determined to make a comeback after a period of rest.
"Hmph, I was really afraid you'd leave." Qin Han sneered. "Send an order to Xiao Feng, instructing him to lead the main force of the Sichuan Army to Jianmen Pass to confront the Jin troops and guard against their counterattack. But without my order, there's no need to launch an attack."
Now is not the time to fight the Jin army. First, we need to wait for news from Yelü Hongji, and second, we need to take over the remaining prefectures and counties in Sichuan first.
"Yes," Kikuken replied.
Then he added, "Master, news of the upheaval in Shu Prefecture has already reached the capital, Lin'an."
finally come.
Qin Han's eyes narrowed, knowing that the real show was about to begin.
What was the reaction in the imperial court?
Ju Jian's expression turned serious: "It is said that when Emperor Zhao Gou learned of Wu Xi and Wang Quanbin's treason and that you led the Ming Cult to take over the defense of Shu Prefecture, he was furious and roared in public at the grand court assembly for a full half hour."
"Oh? What did he say?" Qin Han asked with great interest.
"The specific details are unknown, but according to our spies in the capital, the atmosphere at the court assembly that day was extremely tense."
Ju Jian paused for a moment, then organized his thoughts.
"That old fox, Cai Jing, the Left Chancellor, has a skin thicker than a city wall. As soon as the Emperor got angry, he jumped out and impeached Wu Xi in court for 'raising bandits to enhance his own power and colluding with the enemy to betray the country.'"
He completely absolved himself of any responsibility. However, he made no mention of his master's or the Ming Cult's contributions.
"That old man has always been like that," Qin Han laughed.
Cai Jing's actions are a classic example of sacrificing a pawn to save the king.
Wu Xi was his man, and with such a big incident, he had to shift all the blame immediately.
As for the Qin and Han dynasties?
He, that old dog, won't easily make a statement until the situation becomes clear.
"What about Han Tuozhou?"
"Right Chancellor Han Tuozhou will naturally not let this opportunity slip by," Ju Jian said.
"He used this incident to make a big fuss in the court, impeaching Cai Jing for 'misjudging people, nepotism, and causing chaos on the border,' and also shifted the blame for Wang Quanbin onto Cai Jing, saying that it was because of Wu Xi's obstruction that Wang Quanbin went astray."
"For a time, the court was divided into two factions, arguing fiercely and attacking each other, each trying to shift the blame onto the other."
As Qin Han listened, the sarcasm on his face grew stronger.
This is the imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty.
When the nation is in peril and foreign enemies are invading, these so-called pillars of the country are not thinking about how to defend against the enemy, but about how to crush their colleagues and protect their own interests.
How could such a court not perish?
"However..." Kikuken changed the subject, "Although they were arguing fiercely, they reached a surprising consensus on another matter."
"What is it?"
"That is..."
At this point, Chrysanthemum Sword glanced at its composed master.
"We must never allow Sichuan to fall into the hands of some scoundrel!"
Qin Han's gaze turned cold.
