Chapter 282 Countermeasures
"Qin is treating me with courtesy. I only hope to have a conversation with him. I won't stay long."

"I must pass it on."

Han Fei nodded slightly, but he knew in his heart that Li Si's arrival was not just to recruit Bai Jing.

After Li Si left, Han Fei immediately returned to the inner hall of Zilanxuan.

Inside the room, Bai Jing sat cross-legged, Wei Zhuang stood leaning on his sword, Zhang Liang held a scroll, Zi Nu sat quietly aside, and Yan Fei stood by the window.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but they were all waiting for news from Han Fei.

Han Fei pushed the door open and walked in: "Li Si of Qin has already tested it today."

"He wanted to meet Brother Bai, and even stated that this was Lu Buwei's instruction."

Wei Zhuang sneered: "Lü Buwei? Who does he think he is? He is just a prime minister, yet he dares to covet Bai Jing."

Zhang Liang put down the book and frowned: "This is not a trivial matter."

"Although Lü Buwei was born a eunuch, he was a man of deep scheming and great ability. He was able to rise from a businessman to the position of prime minister of Qin, which shows how extraordinary he was."

"He now controls half of the power of the Qin State. If Brother Bai refuses his invitation, he may make a great enemy."

Zi Nu also said: "Behind Lu Buwei is Ying Zheng."

"If he really regards Brother Bai as an enemy, I'm afraid even the King of Qin won't sit idly by."

"Just sit there and do nothing?" Bai Jing suddenly chuckled.

"Lü Buwei wanted to recruit me in order to expand his power."

"Ying Zheng didn't come in person because he hasn't yet completely taken control of the court."

Han Fei heard this and said, "Brother Bai, what you mean is..."

Bai Jing stood up slowly: "Li Si is just a chess piece of Lu Buwei."

"He came here today to recruit me. If I agree, he will include me in the territory of Qin."

"If I refuse, he will use the killing of Qin's envoy as an excuse to put pressure on South Korea."

"He's prepared for both situations."

Yan Fei sneered: "This trick is too simple."

Bai Jing shook his head: "Simple? No, it is precisely because it is simple that it is the most effective."

"South Korea is in turmoil right now. If it weren't for Han Fei holding it up, the country would have already fallen apart."

"Li Si saw clearly that Han had no ability to fight against Qin, so he dared to press so hard."

Han Fei felt powerless when he heard this.

Bai Jing said it well.

Han was indeed weak, especially when facing a big country like Qin.

"So how do we respond?"

Zhang Liang asked the first question.

"It's very simple."

Bai Jing turned around: "Refuse to see him."

Han Fei was stunned: "Reject?"

Bai Jing nodded: "Since he wants to see me, I won't see him."

"If Qin wants to attack Han, it will find another excuse. Whether it meets or not will not have much impact on the situation."

Wei Zhuang said, "What if Qin State launches a rebellion because of this?"

Bai Jing smiled slightly: "If Qin wants to make trouble, it depends on whether they have the courage to do so."

The next day.

Li Si sent someone to Zilanxuan again, but received a reply from Han Fei.

"Brother Bai is in seclusion these days and will not see any visitors for the time being."

When Li Si heard the news, his heart instantly became gloomy.

"Retreat?"

He sneered.

"It seems that this Taoist of Tianzong is going to reject the good intentions of our Qin State."

The attendant Wang Er asked in a low voice: "Shangqing, how do we report this matter to the Prime Minister?"

Li Si pondered for a moment and said, "Report the truth."

"Bai Jing refused to see me, which means he refused the invitation of the Prime Minister." Wang Er bowed his head and responded, but couldn't help asking: "Then... if Tianzong Daozi is not used by my Qin State, will he become our enemy?"

"Opponent?" Li Si sneered.

"If he is an enemy, then kill him."

……

Another piece of news spread throughout Xinzheng.

King Ying Zheng of Qin will be here soon!
When this news came out, the entire Korean court was in an uproar.

"The King of Qin is here in person. Is he going to personally interrogate me?"

"If this is true, South Korea will probably be doomed."

"Ceding territory and paying compensation may not be enough to appease Qin's anger!"

In the court, all the ministers were discussing the matter and turning their eyes to the King of Han.

The King of Han looked pale, and his hands could not stop shaking: "My dear ministers... How should my country of Han respond to the King of Qin's visit?"

Zhang Kaidi stood up and said: "Treat them with courtesy, cede territory and pay compensation."

Ji Wuye said coldly: "What Prime Minister Zhang said is very true. If South Korea wants to survive, it has to show weakness."

Han Fei was standing below, and when he heard these weak words again, he wanted to rush up and slap them in the face.

What a fuck!
These cowards keep repeating back and forth like a tape recorder, it's disgusting.

The saying "a weak country has no diplomacy" once again came to his mind.

He took a deep breath and slowly stepped out: "The King of Qin is visiting us personally to test our bottom line. If we keep showing weakness, they will only push us further."

Zhang Kai frowned: "Sir, you mean..."

Han Fei's eyes were stern: "Treat each other with courtesy, but neither humble nor arrogant."

As soon as the voice fell, Ji Wuye snorted coldly: "Sir, your words are too light. If the King of Qin is angry, how can Han bear his anger?"

Han Fei was about to refute when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the hall.

"Report to Your Majesty! King Qin Ying Zheng has led a delegation to the outside of the city!"

King Han said in a trembling voice: "Quick... please enter the city!"

Han Fei shook his head helplessly: "No need to be so anxious!"

King Han was stunned: "Why?"

Han Fei smiled slightly: "Since the King of Qin is visiting in person, let him know that although Han is weak, it is not at the mercy of others."

……

The streets of Xinzheng were cleaned spotlessly, the people were forced to give way, and the soldiers lined up in neat rows with spears like a forest.

The drums beat low and the horses' hooves clanged loudly.

Ying Zheng's carriage slowly drove into Xinzheng.

He did not ride in a luxurious carriage, but rode on a tall black horse and wore black and gold armor.

The feeling of oppression cannot be described in words. In general, it is very domineering.

Behind him, the Qin soldiers following him were as fierce as wolves and tigers, and were in uniform order.

Ying Zheng's pressure not only loomed over the streets, but also over every corner of Xinzheng.

The people hid under the eaves and secretly looked at the King of Qin through the cracks.

"Is this Ying Zheng?"

"I heard that he ascended the throne when he was young, and now he has unified the Qin State. Even Lu Buwei is afraid of him."

"Qin is so powerful, can Han resist it?"

In Zi Lan Xuan, Han Fei stood at the window, watching Ying Zheng's carriage slowly driving towards the palace.

The King of Qin is finally here! Haha, interesting!
Zhang Liang stood aside and said, "The King of Qin has arrived in person, and his momentum is as great as a rainbow."

"Sir, how are you going to deal with this next?"

Han Fei raised his lips slightly: "Ying Zheng came here to intimidate South Korea, and at the same time to test our bottom line."

"If he is strong, I will overcome him with softness; if he is cold, I will meet him with warmth."

Wei Zhuang leaned on his sword and said, "You are too idealistic in using softness to overcome hardness. Ying Zheng is not Lu Buwei, he is even more ruthless!"

"That's why we have a chance." Han Fei stopped.
