The King of Han was furious, furious to the extreme.

After cursing Han Fei, he cursed many other people, including ministers in the court, generals in the army, and people from the Qin state. The only person he didn't curse was himself.

Even now, King Han does not believe he has done anything wrong. In his view, he is the king, the supreme ruler, and everyone should serve him.

The reason why the state of Han is facing a crisis of destruction is because of the incompetence of those people, the betrayal of the King of Qin, and the failure of Han Fei, that good-for-nothing, to protect the state of Han in Qin.

After he angrily berated these people.

King Han suddenly started crying again. His crying was very unsightly, and his cries were extremely unpleasant to hear.

But this truly revealed his inner powerlessness and fear.

South Korea has been a nation for hundreds of years, and it is on the verge of extinction. How could it not be afraid?

More importantly, he was about to become the ruler of a fallen kingdom.

Because the previous king of Han lived for too long, by the time he ascended the throne, he was already very old and hadn't enjoyed many years of his reign before his kingdom was suddenly destroyed.

The King of Han was unwilling to accept this!

The previous kings of Han were all mediocre, and he believed himself to be no less capable than them. So why was Han safe during their time, but now that he was king, he was facing the crisis of Han's demise?

"Once the Qin army arrives, the state of Han will be completely finished!"

The King of Han was very unwilling. Why should the state of Han, which had lasted for hundreds of years, be destroyed in his hands?

Couldn't it have been a few years later?

Why not wait a few more years until you pass away and the crown prince ascends the throne as King of Han before taking action against Han?

At this moment, King Han was filled with resentment and hatred. He hated many people. In order to vent his hatred and fear, he staggered and began to smash and destroy everything in the palace.

The rumbling sounds continued, but unfortunately, this did not change the facts or the status quo.

Given South Korea's current national strength, it is simply no match for Qin's attack. In fact, judging from Qin's current posture, they probably have no intention of even making peace with South Korea.

Qin had only one goal: to destroy Han and seize all of Han's land and people!

"I am not reconciled..."

He looked up, his hair disheveled, at the dome of the main hall, and let out a long howl.

"Father, you're smashing things..."

Just as King Han was smashing things with all his might.

A deep voice suddenly echoed through the palace.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, King Han seemed to awaken from a dream. Even though he was filled with the strong smell of alcohol, his eyes suddenly became clear. He looked towards the doorway and saw a figure dressed in red standing there.

The other person's appearance has matured a bit compared to a few years ago, but there hasn't been much change.

On her beautiful face, at this moment, hung an extremely complex expression.

"Red... Red Lotus?"

King Han subconsciously rubbed his eyes, never expecting to see his daughter, Honglian, here.

"Are you... a human or a ghost?"

The King of Han instinctively took a step back, utterly shocked.

It's not surprising that they would react this way.

Years ago, after the fake Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei's identity was revealed, Honglian disappeared. King Han did not know that Honglian had voluntarily followed Jiang Chuan away, and thought that Honglian had discovered the other party's true identity and was thus murdered.

Upon seeing Honglian, he thought he was hallucinating, that Honglian's ghost had appeared before him.

"Father, it's me, it really is me!"

Honglian felt heartbroken seeing the King of Han in such a state.

Even though her former father had treated her that way, using her as a tool and marrying her off to Ji Yihu and Bai Yifei, in Honglian's heart, he was still her father.

The other person used to dote on her so much.

She stepped forward and looked at the King of Han's aged and frail face, feeling extremely distressed.

King Han had initially intended to avoid her, but as Honglian approached, he sensed her presence and gradually calmed down. "Honglian, is it really you?!"

Upon realizing that the person before him was a human, not a ghost, King Han was very excited and overjoyed.

He didn't bother to find out where Honglian had been all these years. For him, being able to see his most beloved daughter at this time was enough.

Then, his true feelings were revealed, and he burst into tears in front of Honglian, "Honglian, do you know? The Kingdom of Han is about to perish! I am not reconciled! Father, I am not reconciled..."

"red lotus……"

King Han wept bitterly and said many things. Finally, comforted by Honglian, he fell into a deep sleep.

Before Honglian arrived, he had drunk a lot of wine and then smashed a lot of things.

He was already old and in very poor health. If it weren't for the anger, resentment, and fear he felt urgently needing to be released, he would have fallen asleep long ago. Now that Honglian had appeared, he had someone to confide in and quickly fell asleep.

After the King of Han fell asleep, two more figures appeared at the entrance of the main hall.

One of them, dressed in a long purple dress, with a captivating figure, was none other than Madam Mingzhu.

Previously, it was Lady Mingzhu who intervened and ordered the guards stationed near the main hall to leave, allowing Honglian to easily arrive here. It was also because of this incident that Honglian learned another secret.

That is, Jiang Chuan actually had an ambiguous relationship with his father's favorite concubine, Lady Mingzhu.

But because she was worried about her father, she didn't have the mind to think about so much. She just wanted to see her father and comfort him.

The other figure beside Madam Mingzhu was Jiang Chuan.

He stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in black, watching the King of Han fall asleep under the soothing touch of Honglian. Compared to a few years ago, the King of Han looked much older now, whether from old age or from the recent pressure he was under, no one knew.

He had overheard what King Han and Honglian said, and he could only sigh, "There's always a reason why someone is pitiful."

Admittedly, the King of Han looks pitiful now, but the things he did in the past were equally hateful.

South Korea's current predicament is entirely its own fault.

Chapter 301 Returning to Familiar Places

The reason why the state of Han ended up like this and perished was not only due to the general trend of the times and the ambition of Qin Shi Huang, but also related to the weakness of the state. The king of Han was incompetent and treacherous officials were rampant in the court. Even though the state of Han was located in a strategically important area and had no fertile ground for expansion, if the king of Han had been willing to reform the bureaucracy, he might have been able to effectively improve the state of Han and allow it to survive for a few more years.

The King of Han was already old. If he had held on for a few more years and passed away before passing the throne to his son, he would not have become a ruler who brought about the downfall of his kingdom.

Of course, South Korea will still perish.

Jiang Chuan did not wait here for long. Soon, he left with Madam Mingzhu, leaving the space to King Han and his daughter Honglian. As for whether King Han would be harmful to Honglian after waking up, he would leave it alone with her.

Of course not.

Lady Mingzhu has been managing things in the palace for so many years, and she has not been idle.

Even though Jiang Chuan has given up his identity as a general, the night is still there, and he can still secretly influence the entire Korean peninsula.

Lady Mingzhu served as Jiang Chuan's representative in Korea after he left, helping him take charge of Nightfall. As the favorite concubine of the King of Han, it was not difficult for her to replace some of the guards in the palace with people from Nightfall over the years.

At this moment, after Jiang Chuan and Madam Mingzhu left, the guards standing outside the main hall were the Nightfall agents.

After several years, Jiang Chuan once again stepped into Madam Mingzhu's palace.

Nongyu was also present at the time.

Over the years, when Jiang Chuan left South Korea, most people left with him, but some stayed, such as Madam Mingzhu and Nongyu.

When Jiang Chuan arrived, Nongyu immediately and obediently came forward to help him undress.

Jiang Chuan didn't stand on ceremony and went to sleep there.

Some joy.

The next day, Jiang Chuan looked at Nongyu, who was extremely docile and had gone to great lengths to serve him the night before, and with a wave of his hand, a scroll appeared in her hand. "This is for you."

"This is?"

Nongyu took the scroll, very curious.

"It's a musical score. If I remember correctly, it's called 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'."

Upon hearing this name, Nongyu's beautiful eyes immediately showed a look of shock.

Yu Boya met the woodcutter Zhong Ziqi and composed the melody "High Mountains and Flowing Water". The score of "High Mountains and Flowing Water" has been famous throughout the world for a long time. It is said that this score was in the hands of Kuang Xiu, the most famous musician in the State of Zhao. However, Kuang Xiu died in the State of Qin several years ago, which means that the score has been lost.

When Nongyu learned of Kuang Xiu's death, she felt very sorry for him. She was also a musician and admired Kuang Xiu.

I never expected to find this musical score here in Jiangchuan today.

"Where did you get it?"

Nongyu carefully put away the sheet music and asked Jiang Chuan.

"It was given to me by a man named Gao Jianli."

Jiang Chuan said to Nongyu, "Kuang Xiu was imprisoned by the King of Qin for helping the Qin general Fan Yuqi escape. Before his execution, he entrusted someone to take this musical score to Yan and give it to Gao Jianli. By chance, I met Gao Jianli and copied a copy from him. This copy is not the original score, but it is still the same as 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'."

"So that's how it is." Nongyu felt a sense of emotion.

She had heard of Gao Jianli, the most famous musician in the Yan Kingdom. She never expected that Jiang Chuan would encounter him and develop some connection with him.

After rewarding Nongyu, Jiang Chuan did not offer any further rewards to Madam Mingzhu.
