The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Tianze immediately understood that the contents of the bottle were the antidote he had been craving but could not obtain.

Chapter Ninety-Six: Yan Ling Ji's Choice

Do you think this is enough to repay my kindness?

Tianze's voice was cold, but he was unwilling to accept this ending.

He was a cold and ruthless person. After escaping, he learned that many Baiyue refugees had sought refuge in Korea, even though these people had all sorts of hardships.

But he could not accept his people defecting to the enemy.

Therefore, he decisively ordered the King of Poisons to carry out a ruthless attack, creating a plague to kill all these traitors.

But even such a person has things he cares about.

That is, his subordinates.

Ten years ago, during the Baiyue War, his subordinates shared life and death with him.

Ten years later, he was freed from his predicament. At his command, his subordinates, no matter where they were, rushed over one after another.

Tianze cares about them a lot.

Therefore, he values ​​his subordinates highly. Wushuang Gui and Hushi Mo were captured because of him, and Tianze was very worried about their safety.

That is why.

He also has zero tolerance for another matter.

That is... betrayal.

In his eyes, Yan Lingji's actions were tantamount to betrayal.

Ten years have passed, and he still cannot tolerate his subordinates leaving him, even though Yan Lingji has given him the antidote to the Gu poison.

Hearing Tianze's words, Yan Lingji felt very uncomfortable, but she had already made up her mind. Considering the methods of those two people, Yan Lingji absolutely could not let Tianze, who had just escaped the restrictions of the Gu poison, fall into a new crisis.

Besides that, she is a person who keeps her promises.

"Ten years ago, you saved me from that fire and gave me a new life. Now, you are poisoned and your life is not long. I will give you the antidote as a way of repaying your life. How can this not repay your kindness?"

Yan Lingji deliberately kept her voice cold as she explained everything to Tianze.

"Is the only kindness I owe you the debt of saving my life?" Tianze's voice was cold, disagreeing with Yan Lingji's words of gratitude.

Of course, it's not just about the life-saving grace; there's also the grace of teaching skills.

In Yan Lingji's view, a simple antidote is indeed not enough to repay this kindness.

But he had to sever his ties with Tianze.

So she said, "Even if you hadn't saved me in that fire, I might not have died."

"But now, if you don't have the antidote, you will surely die."

"The two are completely different in nature."

Tianze also fell silent.

Indeed, the two are of different importance.

In particular, the antidote did not come from Bai Yifei, but from Yan Lingji. After obtaining the antidote, it meant that she no longer needed to ask Bai Yifei for it.

Begging Bai Yifei for mercy was something he could not tolerate.

But he couldn't accept dying.

"Now that I've said my piece, I should go."

Yan Lingji did not intend to say anything more to Tianze.

After all, the person who made the pact with him was Ji Wuye's man, and Bai Yifei was also Ji Wuye's man.

If I stay here too long, it will inevitably arouse some thoughts in that person, which will then bring trouble to Tianze.

Therefore, Yan Lingji prepared to leave this place.

When it breaks, it breaks.

After speaking, Yan Lingji turned around and was about to leave.

She took a step forward.

Suddenly, a terrifying killing intent swept over her from behind. Yan Lingji immediately felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Even though she possessed the body of fire and cultivated the art of fire control, she still felt a chill all over her body.

Are you just going to leave like this?

Tianze's words rang in her ears, his tone extremely cold and filled with deep anger.

"So? Are you planning to kill me?" Yan Lingji turned her head, smiled at Tian Ze, and asked softly.

Tianze remained silent.

In the end, he suppressed his anger and murderous intent, and watched as Yan Lingji left.

Although Yan Lingji chose to betray him, in Tianze's view, such behavior could not be considered a betrayal.

If I had truly betrayed him, I wouldn't have given him the antidote.

What exactly happened to you?

"What have you been through?"

Watching Yan Lingji leave, Tianze spoke in a deep voice.

Unfortunately, no one could give him that answer.

The Hundred Poison King stood quietly beside him. As Tianze's only remaining subordinate, he chose to quietly accompany his master.

……

"It seems you have made your choice."

Not long after, Jiang Chuan met Yan Ling Ji who had returned.

Yan Lingji's expression was very complicated.

Her meeting with Tianze seemed to have made her go through an extremely difficult decision.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Yan Lingji snapped out of her reverie and gave Jiang Chuan a charming smile, "Greetings, my husband."

Looking at Yan Lingji's appearance and listening to her words, Jiang Chuan knew that Yan Lingji and Tian Ze had already severed ties.

However, he did not laugh, but just quietly looked at Yan Lingji. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

……

Time flies, and several more days have passed.

Tianze's whereabouts remain unknown.

Fortunately, the crisis at the Crown Prince's residence has been resolved, and Princess Honglian has been rescued.

Everything was calm.

Next, all that's needed is to bring the culprit, Tianze, to justice.

That's what the King of Han thought.

Perhaps because his mood had improved, his health gradually recovered.

Bai Yifei, on the other hand, was waiting for the Gu poison in Tianze's body to take effect so that he could act as his lackey.

While everyone was waiting.

Something happened unexpectedly.

The crown prince is dead.

Since the crisis at the Crown Prince's residence, the security forces within the residence have been strengthened.

However, even under such circumstances, the Crown Prince (Prince Zhao) still died suddenly in his residence.

When the tragic news spread, King Han was overcome with grief and indignation, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood before falling into a coma.

Fortunately, the royal physician intervened in time, and King Han was eventually revived.

However, after this battle, his body, which had finally recovered, deteriorated again.

If the Crown Prince's sudden and unexplained death wasn't a big deal, then what happened next meant that things were starting to slip out of Bai Yifei's control.

On the day that the Qin envoy entered Xinzheng, the capital of Han.

Tianze, who had been missing for a long time, reappeared and killed the Qin envoy in public.

Then, they left without a trace.

When this news spread, it meant that South Korea had officially entered a turbulent period of internal and external troubles.

Killing the crown prince first signifies internal troubles.

The death of the Qin envoy was a diplomatic incident and a sign of external threat.
