He didn't pay much attention to the news that Honglian was also present, nor did he intend to tell on Han Fei and have him punished.

However, Han Fei and Bai Yuan seemed to have a good relationship and could even go to Zilanxuan together, which made Han Yu somewhat concerned.

"When I first met Mr. Bai Yuan, I knew he was a little unusual. Unfortunately, I failed to subdue him. Now Mr. Bai Yuan's status in Taoism is probably no lower than that of Chi Songzi, the head of Tianzong. For a person like him, every move may represent the will of Tianzong. It is probably impossible to use him for my own purposes."

Han Qiancheng fell silent when he saw the regret on Han Yu's face.

Originally, they thought Bai Yuan was just an ordinary person with a little foresight, so they failed to recruit him once, and after that they didn't take him too seriously.

Who would have known that Bai Yuan was actually a disciple of Master Bei Ming of the Taoist Tian Sect, and later became a core figure in the Tian Sect's reforms.

Although there is no clear evidence to prove it, all major forces are actually very clear about this.

All the changes in Tianzong over the years are because of Bai Yuan!

If they had known what would happen today, they would have recruited him under their command. Even if it cost a greater price, the reward would definitely be worth it.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

"I remember that my ninth brother went to Sanghai and became a disciple of Master Xun from Xiaoshengxian Manor. It seems that it was during that time that he met Mr. Bai Yuan, right?"

Han Yu suddenly remembered Han Fei's experience and asked with a smile.

Han Qiancheng nodded and looked a little impressed: "That's right. According to our later investigation, Mr. Bai Yuan was going to Xiaoshengxianzhuang to study. The two of them should have met at that time. Judging from their appearance, they seem to have a good relationship. In this way, the Ninth Master is really lucky!"

"This is not just good luck!" Han Yu shook his head slightly, "Don't look at my ninth brother who hangs out in places of entertainment all day and behaves in a dissolute manner, but in fact, he is not as simple as he seems."

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together.

Although most people think that Han Fei is just a dissolute young man, Han Yu is not so superficial.

The fact that Han Fei was appreciated by Bai Yuan and became friends with him was enough to show that he had extraordinary abilities. His current disgraceful behavior was probably just a way to bide his time and wait for the right opportunity.

In comparison, only his brother, the prince who was supported by Ye Mu as a puppet, was the real good-for-nothing!

Looking at the fish fighting for food in the pond, Han Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know whether Bai Yuan's visit to Korea is good or bad, but if Han Fei can make friends with him, it will be beneficial to Korea... If the person who makes friends with him is me..."

Just as he was sighing, a man who looked like a guard suddenly came out.

"Sir, the king has urgently summoned you to the palace for a discussion!"

"Do you know what it's for?"

Han Yu frowned slightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"I don't know, but the palace eunuch who came to announce the order looked very anxious. According to the news, the king also sent people to summon the general and the prime minister to the palace to discuss matters."

Han Yu clenched his fists after hearing this, and then immediately ordered: "Prepare the carriage, wait for me to change clothes, and enter the palace immediately."

Han Yu quickly changed into a decent set of clothes, tidied his attire, got on the carriage, and headed towards the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace and came to the council hall, he found that most of the court officials headed by General Ji Wuye and Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi were waiting here, but there was no sign of King Han.

The ministers were whispering, wondering why the King of Han suddenly summoned them.

Only Ji Wuye and Zhang Kaidi did not join in the discussion.

Ji Wuye had a faint smile on his face, while Zhang Kaidi had a blank expression on his face. He stood aside with his eyes closed, looking quite calm.

These two were both extremely cunning people, so Han Yu naturally couldn't tell anything from their faces. He could only find his own position and stand there quietly, waiting for King Han to come over before he could find out what had happened.

Not long after, the palace attendant shouted, "The king has arrived!"

The ministers who were originally whispering and talking among themselves immediately quieted down, straightened their clothes, and stood still obediently.

The pot-bellied King Han came to the main hall surrounded by eunuchs.

He sat down with a sad look on his face.

Everyone saluted King Han, who waved his hands, seeming a little annoyed.

A minister stood up, looking as if he was there to share the king's worries.

"I wonder what the king is worried about?"

King Han sighed and turned his gaze to Ji Wuye: "General, please come and talk to everyone!"

Everyone turned their eyes to Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye stood up and bowed to King Han, then turned around and glanced at his colleagues present.

"This general has just received urgent military information from the border. The Qin State has mobilized a lot of troops to the border. It seems that war is about to start again."

"what!"

Upon hearing the news, everyone present was shocked.

Less than half a year had passed since the last coalition attack on Qin, and Qin was planning to start a war again!

Is this revenge coming?

Among the six states in Shandong, Han was the weakest and bordered Qin. If Qin wanted to take revenge, Han would undoubtedly be the first to bear the brunt and would most likely be the first to be attacked.

Suddenly, the ministers were a little panicked.

Ji Wuye stood up at the right time and said to the King of Han: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. If Qin really intends to use its troops against our Han State, then we must prepare early!"

In the crowd, Han Yu frowned slightly, also thinking about how to deal with the possible war. He turned his gaze to the Prime Minister.

At this moment in the court, Zhang Kaidi, who had always been at odds with Ji Wuye, rarely did not refute his words.

Zhang Kai stepped forward and bowed to the King of Han: "I think what the general said is very true. The Qin army is as fierce as tigers and wolves. We must be on guard."

"I wonder if the Prime Minister has any good ideas?"

The King of Han immediately asked.

He thought about it silently in his mind and bowed slightly.

"I think we need to do three things well to survive this crisis."

Chapter 326 It's all about gold

"three things?"

"What are the three things? Please tell me quickly, Prime Minister!"

When King Han heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

Ever since learning that Qin might launch an attack on Han, the King of Han was so frightened that he couldn't sleep well and had no appetite for food.

Zhang Kai frowned slightly and said slowly: "First, I think that the king can send envoys to Qin to ease the relationship with Qin on the grounds of offering treasures and apologizing. At the same time, he can find out Qin's intentions and determine whether the other party really intends to attack our country. If this matter is just a misunderstanding, it is just spending some gold and silver to buy peace of mind."

"If Qin really intends to attack our country, we can send envoys to delay Qin's troops and buy us more time."

After hearing this, the King of Han nodded slightly, and many ministers in the court also seemed to agree with Zhang Kaidi's proposal.

Seeing that the King of Han had listened, Zhang Kai paused and continued:

"Secondly, Qin has a bad reputation. If they really intend to attack our country, they should mobilize troops to garrison the major border towns in advance to prevent the Qin army from launching a surprise attack. Although the Blood-Robed Marquis has already led 100,000 white-armored soldiers to garrison the border, 100,000 troops may not be enough to face the ferocious Qin."

Sending troops to garrison was a helpless move in the face of Qin's invasion. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one wanted to go to war with Qin.

Given the timid nature of the King of Han, he very much agreed with Zhang Kaidi's proposal and was already thinking about how many people he should send to support the border.

However, Zhang Kai had said that three things needed to be done, and this was only two. Therefore, the King of Han suppressed his inner urgency and patiently listened to Zhang Kai continue to discuss the strategy to resolve the threat from the Qin State.

"Third, if a war breaks out, our country will inevitably be unable to fight against Qin alone. Even if we succeed in stopping the Qin army, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. I don't know how many young and strong lives will be lost. Therefore, I think we should send envoys to seek foreign aid!"

"Tsk!" Ji Wuye suddenly laughed disdainfully, "It has only been a short time since the coalition ended, and each country is busy with its own affairs. Where can they find foreign aid?"

"Han, Zhao and Wei have always been close friends. We can ask for help from Zhao and Wei. As long as we send envoys to lobby and explain the interests, it shouldn't be difficult to form an alliance!"

Zhang Kaidi naturally knew that the coalition had failed not long ago, and the countries were divided and it would be very difficult to unite again.

But he still believed that the three countries of Han, Zhao and Wei, which all originated from Jin, had the possibility of uniting.

After all, the lips and teeth are interdependent. Han is blocking the Qin State's way to the east. Without Han as a barrier, Zhao State and Wei State will be in greater danger.

King Han frowned, thought about it, and immediately made a decision to go ahead with the three strategies.

However, among these three countermeasures, the last two depend on the first one. Sending envoys to Qin is the top priority.

But they had a headache about who to send to Qin.

"Do you have any suitable candidates for envoys in mind?"

After hearing the question from King Han, many ministers became like turtles, looking down at the tablets in their hands without saying a word.

The Qin State is not easy to deal with. Entering Qin is extremely dangerous and you might even lose your life.

At this time, Zhang Kaidi also saw the displeasure on King Han's face.

As the one who proposed this plan, he naturally could not remain silent like others, so he thought for a while and said, "I heard that after the end of the coalition, Zhao sent its crown prince to Qin as a hostage in order to ease the relationship with Qin. I think it would be better to follow Zhao's example. First, it can show Qin our sincerity, second, it can train the crown prince, and third, it can stabilize the hearts of the people of Han."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Wuye's pupils shrank and he couldn't help himself.

"This is absolutely unacceptable. The prince is so noble, how can he be taken hostage in Qin? As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If something happens to the prince during this trip, who can bear the consequences?"

Ji Wuye glared at Zhang Kaidi fiercely, suppressing the anger in his heart.

I didn't expect that this old guy was waiting for him here.

It is almost common knowledge that Ji Wuye supports the prince, and he would never let the prince put himself in danger.

You know, the prince is his most important tool to control Korea in the future!

Watching Zhang Kaidi and Ji Wuye arguing, King Han frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally agreed with Ji Wuye's statement.

"The crown prince is the foundation of a country. If he is held hostage in Qin, it may affect morale. This is not appropriate."

Seeing that King Han said so, Zhang Kaidi naturally would not mention the matter again and instead mentioned another person.

After some discussion, the mission to visit the State of Qin finally fell on an official from Zhang Kaidi's faction.

After deciding on the envoy, they discussed two other things.

After a whole day of intense discussions, the King of Han finally decided to dispatch another 100,000 troops from all over the country to the border in case of an emergency.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the King of Han also decided to pay this year's military pay in advance, and the military pay will be transported to the border before the 100,000-strong army sets out.

In addition, they would send a team of envoys to Zhao and Wei respectively in an effort to promote an alliance.

When the court was adjourned, the ministers left in a hurry and began to prepare for the crisis.

Han Yu left the palace with some worries and began to worry about the fate of South Korea.

On the other side, Ji Wuye returned to the mansion in anger.

The three beauties were a little scared when they saw Ji Wuye's appearance, but one of them was bold enough to step forward and ask.

"General, who is this blind person who has made you angry?"

Ji Wuye stretched out his big hand, grabbed the beautiful girl and pulled her into his arms, his movements seeming a bit rough.

"It's still that damn open ground!"

Being held in Ji Wuye's arms, the beautiful girl felt pain but did not dare to resist. She endured it silently and even picked up the wine glass beside her to feed Ji Wuye with wine in order to please him.

"General, please have a drink to calm down..."

Seeing this, the other two beauties also stepped forward tremblingly and began to serve Ji Wuye.

After all, someone has already taken the initiative. If they don't show any reaction, they might lose Ji Wuye's favor and might not even see tomorrow's sunrise.

After drinking some wine and eating something, the anger on Ji Wuye's face disappeared.

With a wave of his hand, Ji Wuye sent the dancer away, and then called over the black crow.

"After a while, Lord Anping and Lord Longquan will escort a batch of military pay to the border. This batch of military pay has my eyes on it."

Hearing Ji Wuye's words, Mo Ya was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and his pupils shrank slightly.

This is military pay!

However, having obeyed Ji Wuye for many years, Mo Ya has become accustomed to some of Ji Wuye's things.

Although embezzling military funds was indeed a bit too bold, it was nothing for Ye Mu, who had almost everything under the control of South Korea.
