People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Wei Zhuang strode towards the royal palace without looking back.

Chapter 331 King Han Fei

Han Xin pulled down his black robe, wrapped himself in black, and prepared to leave quietly.

"Li Kai, where are you going?"

Cao Ze walked over and asked, somewhat puzzled.

One of his purposes in coming here was to rescue Li Kai.

Upon seeing Li Kai at the edge of the battlefield, he quietly approached.

Han Xin, carrying Cao Ze on his back, paused slightly, and said without turning his head, "Mr. Cao Ze, I never expected that Li Kai would betray me for you."

Cao Ze was taken aback: "Who are you?"

“The man in the straw raincoat… From now on, you can call me the man in black.”

"Who was that dead man in the straw raincoat?"

"What do you think? Humph!"

After Han Xin finished speaking, he left quickly.

Cao Ze wanted to give chase, but seeing Han Fei leading a group of Seven Absolutes Hall members into the fray, he had no choice but to give up for the time being.

The man in the straw raincoat, Han Xin, the man in black...

Cao Ze took a light breath. Han Wang Xin, who could leave his mark on history, was indeed not to be underestimated. No wonder he was able to survive until later and outlive a lot of people. His survival skills alone were enough to make Cao Ze look at him differently.

It's a pity about Li Kai. He was outmaneuvered by the man in the straw raincoat... no, now the man in black, and was mistakenly killed by Ji Wuye.

All he can do now is help Li Kai take good care of Madam Hu and Nongyu, so as not to let them down.

Han Fei ran in, panting, with a dark figure following closely behind him.

Seeing Cao Ze approaching, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Cao, what's going on?"

"Fourth Young Master Han Yu was killed by Bai Yifei..."

Han Fei caught a glimpse of Wei Zhuang, who had killed several elite silver-armored soldiers, entering the royal palace. He was shocked and exclaimed, "Bai Yifei has stormed into the royal palace?"

Cao Ze nodded and comforted him, "With Brother Wei Zhuang here, your father will be alright."

Han Fei was extremely frustrated. Given Wei Zhuang's personality, he would only watch as Bai Yifei killed his father, and then kill Bai Yifei to avenge his father.

He shook off Cao Ze and charged towards the palace without looking back, braving the swords and spears all around him without retreating.

Blood trickled from the corner of Han Fei's mouth, but the black aura surrounding Reverse Scale protected him.

Cao Ze followed behind his brother-in-law, shaking his head slightly.

If you don't push your brother-in-law a little, he won't know how to stand up for himself.

However, now it's up to Brother Wei Zhuang to make a decision.

Should they watch Bai Yifei kill Han Wang'an, or save Han Wang'an...?

Han Fei rushed into the royal palace.

Just as Cao Ze was about to follow him inside, he caught a glimpse of an old, fat man running out of a side door.

Running around with its big belly, it looked like a round, black watermelon from a distance.

This old guy isn't...

Cao Ze watched speechlessly as Han Wang'an, who was moving well, dodged and weaved at the edge of the battlefield.

This is an old but still vigorous fat man.

He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should save his future father-in-law, when he saw Ji Wuye, who had also discovered Han Wang An, charging wildly toward Han Wang An.

Han Yu is dead, and Han Fei is the heir apparent.

If King An of Han were to die, Han Fei would rise to the top in one fell swoop.

He absolutely did not want to see this happen; he had to protect Han An!

Han Wang An mistakenly believed that Ji Wuye was trying to kill him, and his fat face was filled with horror. He stumbled and fell to the ground.

The elite silver-armored soldiers around them didn't recognize who this fat man was; they just instinctively stabbed Han Wang'an with a gun.

"what--"

Ji Wuye was filled with shock and anger, and let out a grief-stricken roar.

He thought that Han Wang An might have been killed by Bai Yifei, by the straw-cloaked man, or even by Wei Zhuang and Han Fei who came in later, but he never expected that Han Wang An would be killed casually by a soldier who didn't even recognize Han Wang An.

Inside the royal palace, Bai Yifei and Wei Zhuang had been locked in fierce combat for a long time.

Han Fei rushed in and shouted, "Brother Wei Zhuang, where is my father?"

Wei Zhuang cleaved Bai Yifei back with a single sword strike, then glanced at Han Fei and said, "He ran away."

Han Fei was taken aback. He was about to thank Wei Zhuang for his righteousness when he heard Ji Wuye roaring in grief and indignation outside the hall.

Bai Yifei said with a ferocious expression, "What good will it do to run away? You'll still die! South Korea is mine now!"

Wei Zhuang frowned. What's that fatso doing running around like that!

Cao Ze walked in, and Han Fei looked at him with a heavy heart.

Cao Ze patted Han Fei on the shoulder: "Please accept my condolences. The State of Han cannot be without a ruler for even a day."

Han Fei collapsed to the ground, looking up at the high ceiling of the royal palace, his eyes slightly dazed.

He never thought of becoming a king, but fate seemed to play a joke on him, forcing him to become the King of Han.

Ji Wuye stormed in with his long hair disheveled, his eyes bloodshot and fierce. Seeing Bai Yifei locked in a fierce battle with Wei Zhuang, he gritted his teeth and said, "Bai Yifei, you bastard, how dare you ruin my plans!"

He immediately looked at Han Fei, who had fallen to the ground, and roared as he rushed over.

Han Yu is dead, Han An is dead. Now he either controls Han Fei or kills Han Fei, then makes Bai Yifei take the blame, and randomly chooses an obedient person from the Han royal family to be the king.

"General Ji, aren't you being far too disrespectful to me?"

Cao Ze's body glowed with golden light as he drew his Zhanlu sword and blocked Ji Wuye's eight-foot-long battle blade.

"Cao Ze!"

Ji Wuye cried out in resentment.

At this moment, Han Fei, who had regained his composure, stood up and said indifferently, "General Ji, are you plotting a rebellion with Bai Yifei?"

Just as Ji Wuye was about to say something, he saw a dark figure appear in front of Han Fei. The strong aura emanating from the figure made him almost think that a grandmaster was present.

His expression shifted several times before he finally chose to give up.

He knelt on one knee: "...Your subject dares not."

Han Fei angrily pointed at Bai Yifei: "Ji Wuye, obey my orders! Capture and kill Bai Yifei!"

"Your humble servant obeys!"

Ji Wuye stood up and charged at Bai Yifei.

Cao Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Why not take this opportunity to kill Ji Wuye?"

Han Fei said with a stern face, "Not now."

Bai Yifei and his cousin Han Xin plotted a rebellion, which severely damaged the state of Han.

If Ji Wuye is killed now, the state of Han will suffer a great loss of strength without waiting for Qin to destroy it.

Wei Zhuang has not yet taken over the army, and the Qin envoy is about to arrive in Han. Given the circumstances, even though he knows that leaving Ji Wuye behind will cause endless trouble, this is the only option for now.

Moreover, if Ji Wuye cannot be killed, it's hard to say what the thousands of city guards outside the palace might do.

We still need to proceed cautiously.

Cao Ze looked towards the hall.

Bai Yifei was not weak, but under the furious Ji Wuye and the superb swordsmanship of Wei Zhuang, he was already at a disadvantage, and his defeat was only a matter of time.

Bai Yifei roared, "The man in the straw raincoat has misled me!"

He couldn't understand until his death why Ji Wuye had killed the man in the straw raincoat so easily.

With a blank expression, Wei Zhuang thrust his sword into Bai Yifei's chest, twisting his wrist and shattering Bai Yifei's heart.

Ji Wuye kicked Bai Yifei's corpse away and then stomped on Bai Yifei's face several times to vent his hatred.

After finishing all this, Ji Wuye clasped his hands and said, "Ninth Young Master, I'm going to wipe out the remaining rebels now."

Han Fei calmly replied, "Thank you for your trouble, General."

Wei Zhuang walked over and nodded slightly: "You did not choose to kill Ji Wuye; you have the ability to be king."

Han Fei gave a bitter laugh, plopped down on the ground, and irritably kicked Bai Yifei's corpse aside.

“My eldest brother died at the hands of my fourth brother, my fourth brother died at the hands of Bai Yifei, and my father died at the hands of the mutinous soldiers… In less than a year, apart from my little sister Honglian, I have no other relatives left…”

Han Fei sighed: "Perhaps my teacher was right. I shouldn't have come back. I should have spent my life studying in the library, writing whatever came to mind. When I got tired, I could have slept for a few days in the best brothel in Sanghai. That would have been a good way to end my life."

Wei Zhuang said calmly, "In chaotic times, it is naive to think you can stay out of it. The war will spread everywhere, and you will have nowhere to escape."

Han Fei took a few deep breaths. "I knew, that's why I came back... but I didn't expect things to get out of control..."

Wei Zhuang said, "But this is a good thing for South Korea, and for you and me."

"Perhaps..." Han Fei swayed as he stood up, looked at Cao Ze who had been listening without saying a word, and asked seriously, "Brother Cao, do you have a way to capture Tianze?"

The original plan to kill the Qin envoy, frame the female marquis, use Qin's power to kill the female marquis, and thus buy time can now be scrapped.

Now that South Korea has undergone this change, the Baek family and the old nobles who colluded with them will surely be uprooted. With only one female marquis, the threat has been greatly reduced.

Now that he has ascended the throne as the King of Han, he has sufficient resources and ability to contend with the Qin state.

As long as Tianze is handed over, he is confident that the death of the Qin envoy in Han can be downplayed, giving Han a chance to catch its breath.

If they can survive this year, the situation among the seven states will be completely different next year. If Qin wants to put pressure on Han again, it will have to consider the strength of the alliance of Yan, Zhao, Han and Wei.

Aside from the King of Wei, at least Yan Dan and Zhao Jia were both determined to fight against Qin.
