Li Si noticed the expressions of the two people keenly. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, and even felt secretly happy in his heart.

I followed Zhang Kaidi and others into Xinzheng and arrived at the embassy.

He bowed his hand to Li Si with a slightly apologetic look on his open face.

"Your Majesty just caught a cold the day before yesterday and is not feeling well. It is inconvenient for you to meet with Lord Li Si. Lord Li Si, please rest here for a few days and take a good look around Xinzheng."

When Li Si heard Zhang Kaidi's words, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

I didn't catch a cold earlier or later, but I caught it at this time. What a coincidence!

Li Si knew that the King of Han was deliberately not wanting to see him, so he found an excuse.

He did not show any unhappy expression, but smiled and indicated that he was willing to wait.

Only after Zhang Kaidi left did Li Si put away the smile on his face and shook his sleeves unhappily.

Since the King of Han refused to see him, he had no choice but to wait.

At this time, Li Si remembered that before he went on a diplomatic mission to Korea, Ying Zheng had specially sent someone to tell him that Bai Yuan was also in Xinzheng.

Li Si immediately went back to his room, took a shower and changed his clothes.

After doing all this, Li Si called the guards, got on the carriage and hurried out.

Soon, Li Si followed the information given by Ying Zheng and found Bai Yuan's residence.

Li Si got off the carriage and saw the guard about to knock on the door, so he quickly reprimanded him, "The person living here is of noble status, you must not be presumptuous!"

Then, Li Si walked to the front of the gate, straightened his clothes, and bowed towards the gate with an extremely respectful attitude.

"Uncle Bai Yuan, my nephew Li Si is here to visit!"

Squeak!

Not long after, the door opened and a maid walked out. It was Huadie.

Although she was just a maid, Li Si knew that Huadie's status was not low.

Huadie glanced at Li Si and the Qin soldiers behind him who were responsible for protecting his safety.

"Sir, you are the only one I see. The others can wait outside!"

Hearing this, Li Si hurriedly smiled and nodded, "As I should. Li Si's presumptuous visit was already impolite. If these soldiers disturb my uncle's meditation, then it would be Li Si's fault."

He turned around, made a gesture to the soldiers, and then followed Huadie in to see Bai Yuan.

All the way to the backyard, Li Si didn't dare to look around.

Of course, he was obviously surprised to see that there was not only Bai Yuan sitting in the backyard, but also Yan Fei and Yue Shen.

However, Li Si was well-mannered and reacted quickly.

"Greetings to Uncle Master, and to Master Dongjun and Master Yueshen!"

The Moon Goddess had long been named the national guardian magician by Ying Zheng, and her status in the Qin State was also higher than that of Li Si.

Therefore, Li Si naturally had to call him "Sir" respectfully.

Yan Fei and Yue Shen both nodded slightly without saying anything.

Bai Yuan looked at Li Si's reserved look and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, I don't have that much etiquette here, sit down!"

Li Si wiped the non-existent sweat from his head, nodded with a smile, and sat down aside.

"Are you being sent as an envoy to Korea?"

"That's right. This time, the king heard about the recent unrest in South Korea and sent me to South Korea. The purpose of this trip is twofold. One is to seize Nanyang, and the other is to bring Brother Han Fei back to Qin."

Li Si told everyone the purpose of his mission to Korea without any hesitation.

He still has a lot of trust in the people present.

Bai Yuan nodded slightly when he heard Li Si's words.

"It's your business what to do, I won't get involved."

Li Si smiled and said, "How dare I trouble my uncle to help me with these matters? I came to visit my uncle this time simply to thank him for his help. If my uncle had not been willing to introduce me, I would probably still be an unknown person now."

He and Han Fei left Xiaoshengxianzhuang almost at the same time.

Han Fei chose to return to his homeland, while Li Si chose to go to Qin to realize his ambitions.

Originally, Li Si planned to join Lu Buwei, become a retainer, and use Lu Buwei's power to slowly climb up.

But it is a pity that when he came to Qin, the situation in Qin had already changed.

Lu Buwei had resigned from office long ago and was driven out of Xianyang by Ying Zheng. He no longer had the power he once had, so his plan failed.

Fortunately, Li Si was a smart man. He learned that the King of Qin favored Bai Yuan and valued him very much, so he shamelessly went to Bai Yuan and asked him for help in recommending him.

He went to Bai Yuan with the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that Bai Yuan actually agreed to help him and wrote a letter introducing him to the King of Qin.

From then on, he had the opportunity to meet King Qin and show his talents.

Afterwards, Ying Zheng appointed him as the chief historian to give him advice.

The opportunity to go on a diplomatic mission to Korea was actually something Li Si took the initiative to seek, and Ying Zheng also intended to use Han Fei to test Li Si's ability, so he sent him to Korea.

Bai Yuan could feel that Li Si really wanted to thank him, so he smiled and patted his shoulder.

"You don't have to thank me. I just don't want a talent to be buried. Your talent is not worse than Han Fei's. In fact, you are better than Han Fei in some aspects. For example, you can thrive in the unfamiliar Qin State, while Han Fei can hardly realize his ambitions in his home country."

Bai Yuan actually still recognized Li Si.

Although according to history, after Ying Zheng's death, Li Si colluded with Zhao Gao to tamper with the imperial edict, and was eventually beheaded because of Zhao Gao.

But it is undeniable that Li Si's talent is not low. After all, he is also a person who can be the prime minister and do a good job.

It’s just that because of some past experiences, he is too greedy for power and so easily goes astray.

Such people can actually be of great use if they only need to pay a little attention.

This is also one of the reasons why Bai Yuan was willing to recommend Li Si to Ying Zheng.

Li Si was somewhat competitive by nature and had always wanted to defeat Han Fei, who was more favored by his teacher Xunzi than he was. After hearing what Bai Yuan said, he couldn't help but smile.

Chapter 401 Han Fei: Even as a brother, I have never been treated like this!

"I am unworthy of such praise from my uncle-master! However, since I am valued by my uncle-master and the king, I will definitely do my best to live up to their expectations!"

Li Si bowed humbly and expressed his loyalty to Ying Zheng from a distance of thousands of miles.

Bai Yuan nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

He has such passion and is able to work hard, so Bai Yuan wouldn't want to discourage him, right?

Li Si didn't stay with Bai Yuan for too long. He sat for a while and then left.

Li Si was a smart man. He knew very well that Bai Yuan didn't like to have too much involvement with the court. Bai Yuan and his friends must have come to Xinzheng for their own business, so he naturally didn't want to disturb them too much.

After Li Si left, Bai Yuan was somewhat curious about what countermeasures Han Fei would come up with.

He had greeted Han Fei in advance.

Now the envoys from Qin have also arrived. If they cannot bring Han Fei back in the end, the next step will be to deploy troops at the border.

Or maybe...Ying Zheng has already done so.

Because Li Si just talked about the matter of Nanyang.

After thinking about it, Bai Yuan decided to meet Han Fei again before leaving Xinzheng.

This time Bai Yuan did not bring anyone with him, but went to Zilanxuan alone.

Ning Yan and the others are all female relatives. Even though Bai Yuan will not look at the women in Zi Lan Xuan with tinted glasses, he will not bring his own women here.

Bai Yuan did not come to Zilanxuan very often, but he was highly valued.

Under Zi Nu's special instructions, most of the maids here knew Bai Yuan, and they immediately ran to inform Zi Nu as soon as he arrived.

While waiting for Zi Nu, Bai Yuan was not idle either. He invited Nong Yu to play the piano for him.

When Nanyue heard that it was Bai Yuan who invited her, she ran over happily.

Bai Yuan was in the private room, listening to Nong Yu playing the piano. The sound of the piano lingered in the air, like heavenly music, and he couldn't help but close his eyes comfortably.

When Zi Nu came into the room and saw this scene, she did not make a sound to disturb them, but stood quietly aside waiting for the song to end.

At the end of the song, Bai Yuan slowly opened his eyes and sincerely applauded Nong Yu's piano skills.

"No matter how many times I hear it, Miss Nanyue's music is still so moving. It's a pity that I won't be able to hear it often anymore."

In Xinzheng, if there is anyone that Bai Yuan cares about the most, it might be Nong Yu, the zither player of Zi Lan Xuan.

The relationship between the two can be regarded as the purest one without any interference of interests.

When Bai Yuan and Nong Yu were chatting, they never mentioned what Liu Sha did. They basically made friends through music.

This kind of pure friendship is very precious to Bai Yuan.

Just like he was good friends with Wuming, Jing Ke, and Nian Duan before.

Even Han Fei, who had a good relationship with him in Sanghai before, now has an uneasy relationship with him.

When Nanyue heard Bai Yuan's praise, she was very happy, but when she heard the second half of his words, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

"Sir, are you leaving Xinzheng?"

"Yes, I have been in Xinzheng for a long time, and it is time to leave. This time I came to Zilanxuan mainly to talk to Han Fei."

Bai Yuan nodded slightly and looked at Zi Nu.

Nanyue forced a smile, her fingers almost white from pinching under her sleeves: "Since you are here to see the Ninth Young Master, Nanyue will not waste your time."

When Zi Nu saw Nong Yu's expression, she sighed secretly in her heart and then looked at Bai Yuan.

"He's waiting for you in the backyard, come with me!"

Bai Yuan stood up, nodded to Nanyue, and then followed Zinu away.

On the way, Zi Nu looked at Bai Yuan deeply, but didn't say a word.

When he arrived at the backyard, Bai Yuan saw Han Fei standing under a tree with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the fallen leaves.

Hearing the footsteps, Han Fei turned around and saluted Bai Yuan.

"Uncle Master!"

"The Qin envoy has arrived in Xinzheng. You should know what this means, right?"

Bai Yuan waved his hand, without any further ado, and went straight to the point.

Zi Nu, who was standing not far behind Bai Yuan, was still a little confused when she heard Bai Yuan's words.

Han Fei clenched his fists behind his back, took a few deep breaths, and then loosened them.

"I know. I just got the news that the envoy sent by Qin is Li Si."

"Then you should also know why I'm looking for you this time, Han Fei. You have no choice. Soon, you won't be able to stay in Korea anymore. Sometimes, people should learn to give up, otherwise they will be completely eliminated."

Bai Yuan's tone was a little cold this time, and he told Han Fei directly and clearly that he had no chance.

Or rather, Han Fei never had a chance from the very beginning.

Liusha has none of the advantages of time, place and people.

"So, Uncle Master, you are here to persuade me to enter Qin?"

Han Fei's smile was very forced.

When Zi Nu heard the words "enter Qin", her body shook suddenly.

"Enter Qin? No, what is going on?"

Zi Nu narrowed her eyes and stared at Han Fei and Bai Yuan sharply, as if she wanted them to give her an explanation.

The last time Bai Yuan mentioned the "last chance", she noticed that something was not right between Han Fei and Wei Zhuang.

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Didn't Han Fei and the others tell you? As early as when Tianze kidnapped the Crown Prince of Han, I told them that the King of Qin valued Han Fei's talents and intended to invite him to Qin to assist him."

Zi Nu widened her eyes. She didn't expect such a thing to happen.
