In the Qin Dynasty, the Tiger of the Empire
Chapter 144 Han Fei Zhang Guo
Chapter 144 Han Fei Returns to China
The winter snow was still falling. In Sanghai City, Ah Fu took Ying Zifei and Hei Bai Xuan Jian to ask for advice and compete in cooking skills.
Two days later, Han Fei, who learned about this, also came over with great interest to eat and drink together.
“Good wine and good food are the good things in life.”
Han Fei liked Ah Fu’s cooking very much and tried to recruit him, but Ah Fu refused.
“Ying Zifei, you and I are both princes of a country, why wouldn’t Ah Fu be tempted?”
Ying Zifei rolled his eyes and said unhappily: “I am not as good as you. I am not worthy of the title of the Duke of Qin. I have long been a branch of the family.”
“Are you attacking me again?” Han Fei looked at me with a grudge, “I don’t think I deserve the title of the Ninth Prince of Korea.”
“Forget it, forget it, let’s drink.”
Han Fei was determined to eat and drink for free, and he had nothing to be embarrassed about.
“Brother Zifei, I’m going back to Korea and facing obstacles at every step. You don’t want to see me fall headfirst, do you?”
“What my junior brother Li Si wants to do must be tested in some places by someone else. I, Han Fei, will be a good executor.”
“You need to help me with this.”
Ying Zifei laughed and drank the wine in the glass. He said: “I believe in your ability.”
“Since you know this is a testing ground, you should understand that I will use more means to create obstacles for you instead of helping you.”
“Many problems will only become apparent when you and I both go all out.”
“What Li Si wants to see is the various hidden problems and obstacles. After all, what he wants to do will only be more difficult.”
Han Fei was very resentful. Ying Zifei took the game as his own and entered the scene personally just to show Li Si some clear prospects.
But Han Fei couldn’t refuse this game and had to go all out.
“Brother Zifei, I need compensation.” Han Fei said, narrowing his eyes, smiling and threatening: “You know, I have the ability to jump out of the cage.”
“Haha, you can live in seclusion in Xiaoshengxian Manor.” Ying Zifei poured the wine and said slowly: “If so, Master Xun might give me a big gift.”
“After all, as a teacher, he always hopes that you can break free from the cage and continue to pursue the truth.”
Han Fei had a headache. This guy was too smart and he couldn’t fool him.
“Okay, I’ll exchange it with other chips.” Han Fei said, drank a glass of wine, and smiled: “I have studied the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon and figured out some things. With such chips, you should be tempted.”
“Not interested.” Ying Zifei refused, curling his lips and saying: “Your is not a bargaining chip, but a death warrant.”
“You are really pathetic. In order to drag you and your teacher Master Xun into this trouble, those people were extremely generous.”
Han Fei’s mouth twitched, and he slapped his forehead, saying more resentfully: “You are smarter than me, no wonder you live such a comfortable life.”
“You are wrong.” Ying Zifei picked up the wine pot and poured wine, laughing and said: “I am not smarter than you, but I am more afraid of death than you.”
“People who are afraid of death will always avoid dangerous places.”
Han Fei gave a thumbs up, and the two clinked glasses. Han Fei picked up the wine pot and poured the wine, saying with a smile: “When I return to Korea, I will definitely learn from you and learn to be more afraid of death.”
“You can’t learn it.” Ying Zifei looked at him and said with a sigh: “Many people force you to do something, and many people also force me to do something.”
“Brother Han, don’t gamble on this possibility. I don’t want to be your body collector when the time comes.”
Han Fei’s expression remained unchanged, he raised his glass, and the two drank the wine in the glass.
“If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t catch the tiger’s cubs.”
“Brother Zifei, people always have to do something, don’t they?”
“A persistent drinking buddy.” Ying Zifei said with a smile, and the two of them burst into laughter at the same time.
“I’m going back to Xiaoshengxianzhuang first. The person who wants to trouble you is here. We’ll drink again tomorrow.”
Han Fei stood up and ran away. When he passed by someone walking towards him, he pretended not to see him and walked away quickly.
The visitor ignored Han Fei. He walked up to Ying Zifei and bowed slightly.
“My master said that he would give me 100 precious herbs as compensation for the secret being leaked.”
Upon hearing this, Ying Zifei pretended to be confused and said, “I didn’t reveal the secret. Six-Fingered Black Knight and Ghost Valley Wei Zhuang were also there that day. They must have done it.”
The visitor felt a pain in his liver, and then threatened: “My master said that you have to give it to me whether you want to or not.”
“If not, he wouldn’t mind cleaning up a group of people.”
“Does he really need this batch of precious medicine?” Ying Zifei asked tentatively, but the man kept silent.
“It’s boring.” Ying Zifei curled his lips, then waved his hand and Si Snake came over.
“Have someone deliver the things to the designated location.” Snake agreed and left.
The visitor breathed a sigh of relief, as he was really afraid that Ying Zifei would kill him.
“Go back and tell your master that he has bargaining chips to get a lot of good things from the Yin Yang family. It’s not impossible for me to trade with him.”
“The Yin-Yang family is growing too fast. Your master is like me. We don’t want to see them living too well.”
The man bowed, nodded, indicating that he understood, and then turned and left.
“That madman just let you go like that?” Hei Bai Xuan Jian were both a little surprised. The purpose of Six-Fingered Black Knight and Wei Zhuang might be to make that madman go crazy.
When a madman goes crazy, he always reveals more.
“He was just labeled a madman, not that he was mad.”
Ying Zifei stretched his body, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled: “One hundred precious herbs, does he really need them?”
“He just wanted to warn me in this way.”
“After all, with Han Fei joining the game, many people are expecting him to uncover more secrets about the Blue Dragon.”
“Let’s go. It’s time for us to leave Sanghai City.” Three days later, Ying Zifei and his group left quietly.
“I see changes again.” In the pavilion halfway up the mountain, Bei Mingzi and Xunzi stood side by side, looking in the direction where Ying Zifei and his group left.
“You should accept another disciple.” Xunzi said leisurely: “In the future, Taoism must have a disciple who can let all the other schools of thought understand the essence of Taoism and travel around the world.”
“That’s right.” Bei Mingzi nodded slightly.
The wind and snow passed by, and the two of them disappeared.
In a secluded courtyard of Xiaoshengxianzhuang, the head of Confucianism was reading a book quietly. The sound of a broom sweeping snow made him look up slightly.
The snow has been half cleared, and it looks a bit messy today, as neat as before.
“Your mind is in turmoil, Fu Nian.”
Fu Nian came back to his senses, put down the broom and bowed slightly to the teacher.
“Since my heart is in turmoil, when winter turns to autumn, I will go traveling and study.”
“When you feel at ease, come back and continue studying.”
“promise”
Fu Nian agreed, then picked up the broom and continued sweeping the snow.
“The wind and clouds are coming together, the situation of the world is changing, and the various schools of thought are crying everywhere?”
He glanced at his disciples, then at the book in his hand. Since his mind was in a mess, it was not the time to read.
……
As winter passed and spring came, life began to revive. Han Fei left Xiaoshengxianzhuang and returned to Han State. Fu Nian also left Xiaoshengxianzhuang to travel and study.
“Junior brother, Xiaoshengxian Manor will be handed over to you temporarily.”
The leader of Confucianism is about to leave, and he has to do something for Confucianism.
“Brother, please be careful.” Xunzi didn’t say much. They were all determined people, so why say more?
After a week’s separation, he also got on the carriage and left. Xunzi took a look at him and turned back.
Han Fei loved drinking, and the horses he raised also learned to drink.
With the revival of life, people across South Korea have begun spring ploughing.
Day after day, Han Fei observed all over Korea. When he saw the Korean refugees at the Qin-Han border, his expression was extremely complicated.
He saw an old man taking a few children to rest, so he walked over, bowed slightly and said: “Old man, are you going to Qin State as well?”
The old man’s eyes were full of vigilance, and he blocked the children behind him. Seeing his reaction, Han Fei sighed inwardly and said, “Father, I am a Confucian student who is traveling to study, and I also want to go to Qin to take a look.”
Hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. He then saw that the man was riding a horse and although he was dressed in fancy clothes, he had no guards by his side. He must be a Confucian disciple from a wealthy family.
With his own judgment, the old man was more relaxed, and said: “Since you want to go to Qin State, you can follow this road. When you reach the fork in the road, there will be Qin troops stationed there. They have people responsible for handling registration matters. After getting the pass, you can enter Qin State.”
The two men started talking, and Han Fei brought some food to the children and shared some wine with his father-in-law.
When the old man was more relaxed, Han Fei asked, “Old man, are you sure that Qin will be able to accommodate your family?”
The old man smiled and nodded, his eyes full of longing as he said, “To be honest, I also made up my mind after finding out everything.”
“Qin already has a quick and stable way to stabilize the country. We refugees from other countries will be given land to share after entering Qin. We will be provided with food before the harvest. We will not pay taxes until the land has a harvest.”
“The people from our village who left for Qin a few years ago are now living a good life.”
“I’m not talking about good food and good wine, but a certain level of food and clothing is a fact.”
At this point, the old man became more interested in talking, and said, “It was said before that Qin’s laws were harsh, and we believed it.”
“After understanding it, I found that Qin law is indeed strict, but it also protects the common people and small households.”
“The Qin law applies to everyone. The Qin nobles dare not act too recklessly. This is what we ordinary people want.”
The old man became a little sad and sighed: “The powerful people in South Korea will not give us a way to live.”
“I was also on the battlefield, and at that time, I also hated the Qin State.”
“But hatred is nothing compared to the survival of a family.”
Han Fei was silent, feeling as if he was carrying something that made it difficult for him to breathe.
“If we talk about hatred, the people of all countries in the world must hate each other.”
The old man smiled bitterly, reached out and touched his grandson’s head, and said expectantly: “The people of Qin said that their king wants to take them to end this chaotic world.”
“As an old man, I like one of their sayings very much.”
“Let hatred end in one or two generations. All the people in the world want is to have enough food and shelter.”
Hearing this, Han Fei remained silent. The old man then said, “The official who received refugees from various countries at Sanchakou told me that their king Ying Zheng said that from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the present day, the wars in the Warring States Period were nothing more than a few Miao descendants from the same origin fighting each other.”
“It’s like a fight between brothers and sisters, with hatred and real anger.”
“In that case, let’s fight hard until the others are convinced and everyone wakes up. Let them understand that they are all descendants of the same Miao lineage and should live in peace.”
Han Fei finally looked up at this time and asked, “Father, did the Qin officials really say that?”
The old man nodded and said to Han Fei: “Not only do they talk about it, but sometimes the peddlers who travel from village to village also chat with us like this.”
“Old man, I heard a peddler say something. It seems that the academy in Qin State has begun to gather many knowledgeable people under the order of the king of Qin State. They want to write a book that can allow many people to trace their origins.”
“He also said that if Qin wants to fight a war in the future, it will fight it clearly and let the people of the world know why they want to fight.”
The old man shook his head when he said this and spread his hands to indicate that he didn’t understand and couldn’t explain it clearly.
