Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Shen Luoyan rubbed her wrist, which was still a little numb.

The man sitting in the grand chair before me is none other than the current King of Qin.

She heard a lot of the latest news on the way to being escorted by the Yuwen family, and at that time she thought that the Yuwen family was deliberately trying to cover something up and embellish their image.

Now the person in question stands before you, unharmed, and the imposing aura emanating from him is undeniable.

Her mind raced; trying to play games with this kind of person was simply courting death.

Shen Luoyan lowered her head respectfully, deliberately making her voice soft and gentle.

"Your Highness, Zhai Rang is dead. Li Mi is now in charge of Wagang Village."

Qin Han was not surprised by these words. It was only a matter of time before Zhai Rang was killed by Li Mi. However, Li Mi was a cunning and ruthless man who would never amount to anything.

He's more concerned about something else now.

"Since you are Li Mi's man, how did you get captured by Yuwen Huaji?"

Shen Luoyan looked somewhat bitter as she tidied her disheveled hair.

"Your Highness may not know this, but I voluntarily stayed behind to cover Lord Mi's retreat, so that Lord Mi could lead his men to break through the encirclement."

Outnumbered and outgunned, my two hundred-odd brothers were unable to stop Yuwen Chengdu's army and were ultimately captured by him.

Qin Han became more interested after listening.

This woman is truly loyal; she's willing to sacrifice herself to protect her master. Such devoted subordinates are rare indeed.

"You are quite loyal to Li Mi."

Shen Luoyan glanced at Qin Han, then quickly lowered her head.

"Your Highness is joking. I was wandering the world with no one to rely on and almost lost my life. It was Master Mi who saved me."

He taught me military strategy and martial arts; I've never forgotten that kindness. Covering his retreat this time is my way of repaying him with my life.

She paused for a moment, her tone carrying a hint of self-deprecation that was hard to define.

"I just didn't expect that the Yuwen family wouldn't kill me after capturing me, but instead sent me to the prince."

Qin Han tapped his fingers on the wooden armrest, probing the woman's psychological changes while asking her questions.

When this woman mentioned Li Mi, there was indeed gratitude in her eyes, but more than that, there was a sense of detachment that they owed each other nothing. It seemed that she truly felt she had repaid her debt of gratitude.

Qin Han didn't beat around the bush and made his point clear.

"Wagangzhai's current resources are not enough to sustain them for long, even if they can. Li Mi is a very suspicious person."

"You were delivered to me unharmed by the Yuwen family this time. Even if I let you go, do you think your Li Mi will still trust you?"

Shen Luoyan's expression changed noticeably upon hearing this.

Qin Han's words struck at the very spot where she feared most; she knew Li Mi's ways all too well.

That person was good at putting on a show, but secretly he was extremely suspicious and didn't trust anyone.

Even if nothing happened, Li Mi would still assume that she had made a shady deal with the Yuwen family after being captured and released unharmed.

She had witnessed too many instances of this kind of betrayal in Wagang Village; wasn't the former chieftain Zhai Rang a living example?

Qin Han noticed her constantly changing expression and realized that the woman's heart had begun to waver.

He appeared in front of her in a flash, lifting her chin and forcing her to look up at him.

The right hand is behind the back.

The "Shocking Hundred Miles" technique in his palm slowly gathers and condenses true energy.

"Military Advisor Shen, I admire your abilities. Why not abandon Li Mi and stay to be my military advisor? I will give you a chance to fully display your talents."

If this woman doesn't know what's good for her later, he won't have time to play hard to get with her.

I have no shortage of talented people under my command, and I certainly don't lack women.

Li Mochou, Xiaolongnu, Yun Yuzhen, and Shi Qingxuan in the backyard are all excellent. If Shen Luoyan dares to play the role of being loyal to two masters, she will be slapped on the back.

Those whom Qin and Han could not retain, he would absolutely not let go to serve as an asset to others.

Shen Luoyan's chin was lifted, forcing her to look directly into those frivolous eyes that were scrutinizing her.

For some reason, the hairs on my back stood on end; this was the most direct sense of danger for someone who had spent years living on the edge.

This man had murderous intent!

Her heart pounded anxiously, and a slightly unnatural blush slowly rose to her face, whether from sensing danger or from truly understanding something was unclear.

The man in front of me is far superior to Li Mi.

He possessed unfathomable martial arts skills at a young age and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. Even Yuwen Huaji had to be wary of him.

She quickly did the math in her mind: following someone like this might not be a bad thing; at worst...

If you can't fight back, you're just being provoked...

At least you won't have to live in constant fear of being suspected and plotted against by your own people, and your life will be safe.

"Your Highness... you saved my life, and I have already repaid Li Mi's kindness. As long as Your Highness doesn't mind, Luo Yan is willing to serve you like a slave."

As Shen Luoyan spoke, her eyelashes trembled slightly, making her look quite pitiful.

The little bit of true energy that Qin Han had just gathered behind him dissipated.

"Since you want to stay and work like a slave, you should at least show some decent sincerity, shouldn't you?"

Shen Luoyan cursed inwardly at this man for not knowing how to cherish a woman, but wore a submissive smile on her face.

"I wonder if Your Highness is aware of the Dongming Sect?"

Qin Han raised an eyebrow. He did know about this, but he didn't know why the Dongming Sect was being brought up at this time.

"Tell me, what do you know?"

Shen Luoyan composed herself.

"Your Highness may not know this, but Shan Meixian of the Dongming Sect recently has a batch of goods that she wants to transport to the Yangtze River by waterway."

The ship carried samples of firearms they had transported back from abroad; I knew the exact route and the contact persons for this shipment.

Qin Han narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Dongming faction was a power in Ryukyu that made its fortune by building large ships and weapons.

This batch of supplies was originally destined to be taken by Li Mi, which is why Wagang Village was able to hold out for a while longer thanks to this arsenal.

Now that the information has fallen into his hands, Li Mi is no longer in a position to interfere.

"Go on."

Seeing that he was interested, Shen Luoyan seemed satisfied with her sincerity.

"Your Highness, Li Mi is also eyeing this shipment. He led his men to break through the encirclement this time in order to get away and pick up the ships. I led my men to cover the rear to buy him time."

Qin Han did not take this matter to heart.

Li Mi wanted to take these things, but he'd better see if he was lucky enough to get to the riverbank. Did he really think Li Jing's navy was just sitting around doing nothing?

"You're quite thoughtful."

Shen Luoyan lowered her body slightly.

"I just don't want to disappoint Your Highness's appreciation."

Qin Han sized her up a few times.

This woman's mind worked incredibly fast; in just a few words, she revealed her trump card as a welcoming gift.

Just as the two were talking, a very faint sound of wind suddenly came into the room.

Shen Luoyan's expression tightened, and she immediately realized that someone had arrived.

Qin Han waved his hand: "We're on the same side."

As soon as the words were spoken, a man wearing a silver mask appeared in the doorway.

The person who came knelt on one knee, and his voice was deliberately altered.

"Your Highness, a secret report has arrived from Hangzhou."

The person who arrived was none other than Lin Pingzhi, the leader of the Net, the Black Jade Kirin.

Qin Han intended to take advantage of the situation to control various parts of Jiangnan, so he would naturally transfer Lin Pingzhi from Shandong to Luo Wang to cooperate with him.
