Chapter 148 Friends? Rivals?
Baiwei Pavilion is world-famous for its various innovative dishes.

When Han Fei arrived, he ordered many delicious dishes without any hesitation.

Because he was the ninth prince of Korea, the shopkeeper personally welcomed Han Fei and brought him to a quiet courtyard.

The courtyard is simply decorated, yet gives people a sense of intimacy.

“Brother Ying, your intelligence channels are really terrifying. They are just waiting for Fei to arrive.”

Han Fei saw Ying Zifei in this small courtyard, smiled and said something, then walked over and knelt down, as if the two of them were familiar enough and there was no need for so many false formalities.

“In fact, the person you want to see most right now is not me, but Li Si.”

Ying Zifei directly threw him a jar of wine, opened the seal of the jar himself, and after taking a sip, he smiled and said, “Playing against each other in the air is really exciting.”

Han Fei also picked up the wine jar and drank generously, then said with a smile: “Isn’t this what you want to see the most?”

“It’s not the right time for Li Si to show up. He must be both excited and troubled right now as he is busy with paperwork.”

Ying Zifei smiled and nodded, saying: “The people of Qin’s Legalists are wary of Lü Buwei, after all, Lü Buwei is a jack of all trades.”

“When Li Si entered Qin, he took on some of the tests of being a successor. As for the future, it all depends on his own ability.”

“Don’t they have any grudges against Li Si for being a Confucian?” Han Fei asked curiously. Ying Zifei smiled and said, “Everyone knows what kind of person Xunzi is. As for his disciples, I think Confucians seem to be more disgusted with them than other forces.”

Han Fei smiled and thought that it was indeed true. If it were not for his teacher’s talent, I’m afraid that the Confucians would really do something.

“My junior brother Zhang Cang is going to the Great Qin Academy. Aren’t you worried that he might suddenly join the game?”

“But I know that his talent is extraordinary.”

Ying Zifei looked calm and said, “Perhaps the Great Qin Academy is a good choice for him.”

“After all, compared to Li Si’s utilitarianism and your persistence, that guy is much more free and easy.”

Hearing this, Han Fei thought about Zhang Cang’s personality and immediately shook his head and laughed.

That’s right, a guy with a handsome appearance and a love for delicious food, with the blessing of talent and knowledge, is really like a fish in water in the Qin Academy.

Han Fei drank half of the wine and tasted the food before he asked tentatively: “If I want to know the secret of the female marquis, will you help me solve some problems?”

“If you want to die quickly, I won’t stop you.” Ying Zifei said slowly. Han Fei’s eyebrows jumped and he continued to test his words: “Now that Bai Yifei is the person in charge, there shouldn’t be any big problems, right?”

“Don’t test me like this.” Ying Zifei took a sip of wine and said, “Why didn’t the successive Han kings renovate the dilapidated cold palace in Xinzheng?”

“Brother Han, when it comes to those things, you and I are just pawns.”

Han Fei gently shook the wine jar and fell into hesitation. Ying Zifei looked at him and sighed slightly: “Brother Han, since you are being pushed to understand and explore the secrets of the Blue Dragon Seven Stars, you should know that over the years, one test subject after another has disappeared in the long river of history.”

“That female marquis’s strength back then had the unique characteristics of bloodline power.”

“It’s best to stay away from such a person unless necessary.”

“Just like you openly announced your self-created martial arts?” Han Fei stared at Ying Zifei with burning eyes.

“I am also one of the test subjects.” Ying Zifei nodded and said, “My mother’s surname is Jiang. She is the direct descendant of Jiang Ziya who assisted King Wen and King Wu in establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty.”

“Back then, the Qi State was divided up, and then the Tian family replaced Qi. There are too many theories about it.”

At this point, Ying Zifei took another sip of wine and continued, “The strange power of the bloodline may involve the secret of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon. For test subjects like us, anyone who covets it will cause chaos until a certain moment.”

“Haha, I did make public the technique I created because I knew too well how many people were watching me.”

“Brother Han, it’s best not to explore the secret of that female marquis, even though your goal is to use this to solve Bai Yifei’s problem.”

Han Fei was silent for a while, then he said: “In this case, one test subject after another is actually like raising Gu in the Baiyue land, just to get a certain possibility.”

“Of course.” Ying Zifei nodded, his eyes deep and he said, “There are too many legends about the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars. Brother Han, I hope that one day you will solve all the problems.”

Han Fei’s mouth twitched, and he spread his hands and said, “Brother Ying, you think too highly of me.”

“It’s not that I think highly of you, but too many people are betting that you can solve the problem.”

As Ying Zifei spoke, he picked up a scroll from the right side of the table, threw it to Han Fei, and said, “A man crazier than us asked me to give it to you.”

Han Fei took the letter, put it away after reading it, rubbed his forehead and said: “Walking on the edge of a knife, I think I will die quickly.”

“It depends on your ability.” Ying Zifei smiled and said, “Too fast won’t work, and too slow won’t work either.”

“Only if you are in the midst of the world’s current situation can you have a chance of survival.”

“You have to help me.” Han Fei felt panic in his heart at this moment. He was not afraid of death, but he didn’t want to die without any value.

“Okay.” Ying Zifei nodded and said readily: “In this regard, helping you is helping me.”

“Great!” Han Fei felt less pressure, and then said: “I want to use the power of the Yin-Yang family to do something, I hope you won’t stop me.”

“Brother Han, Donghuang Taiyi’s ideas are too pure. For a person like him, your talent is not very tempting to him.”

Ying Zifei rubbed his forehead as he spoke. He probably guessed what Han Fei was going to do.

“Then please introduce me to that old beggar.” Ying Zifei:…

He finally realized at this time that Han Fei’s goal was to get to know the old beggar.

“Brother Han, I really don’t know whether you consider me a friend or not.”

Han Fei laughed without any embarrassment. Ying Zifei said with some resentment: “I will let the old beggar know. As for whether he will meet you, that is his own decision.”

“Thank you, Brother Ying.” Han Fei clasped his fists in thanks. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now that he has entered the game of the Blue Dragon, he must be on guard against Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang School.

Just as Ying Zifei said, Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang School’s pursuit is too pure. For such a person, once someone is regarded as a threat by him, he will eliminate him without hesitation instead of thinking about exchanging interests.

After the meal, Han Fei left and went to the prince’s mansion in a good mood. He had to start laying the groundwork for some things.

“This guy is very courageous.”

Hei Bai Xuan Jian sighed. He had heard the conversation between the two men just now. When he thought of that guy’s attitude, he shuddered subconsciously.

“The bolder the better. With an ally like this, there will be a lot he can do, and a lot I can do.”

Ying Zifei stared at the Chiyou Sword with a deep gaze as he spoke. He and Han Fei knew very well that in some matters, both of them used each other and relied on each other’s strength to solve problems.

This is good, as each other’s bottom line is clear and we can cooperate with confidence.

……

“Ninth brother, ninth brother, what on earth are you going to do?”

In the mansion, the fourth son Han Yu couldn’t understand what his ninth brother Han Fei’s purpose was in the conversation in the prince’s mansion.

“Sir, the title of Crown Prince can do a lot of things. It would be a good choice for the Ninth Master to enter the court as the Crown Prince.”

Han Yu frowned at the words of the retainer, then shook his head and said, “Can the prince’s weakness and incompetence support the possibility of my ninth brother entering the court?”

Once the ninth brother Han Fei enters the court with the recommendation of the prince and obtains certain rights, it means that he is completely bound to the prince.

With the talent and vision of the ninth brother Han Fei, he would not fail to see that the prince’s ability was not enough to support him to do some things.

Not to mention that once he chooses the crown prince, it means that he will become his opponent. It is impossible for his ninth brother Han Fei not to see such resistance.

“Could it be that he also has ambitions for that position?”

Han Yu’s eyes flashed coldly, and he couldn’t help but think in this direction.

“Sir, the Ninth Young Master should not have such an idea.”

Han Yu was stunned by the words of the retainer. He asked: “Why?”

“Sir, if the Ninth Young Master really has coveted intentions, what he wants to do will only make him a thorn in the eyes of many factions.”

“His Legalist teachings are enough to alert all factions within South Korea.”

At this point, the retainer sighed and said, “When other countries carried out reforms, the reforms of Han Dynasty failed. The turmoil caused all parties in Han Dynasty to be deeply afraid.”

“Reform is actually a change of power and interests. Today, the Korean government and other countries do not want to see the possibility of a reform-driven powerful country.”

Han Yu reacted quickly. Yes, his ninth brother Han Fei was already a great talent of the Legalist school because his books such as “Five Vermin” were known throughout the world. If he were in power, with the mixed interests, all parties within the Kingdom of Han might be able to compromise and work together.

However, if he has the ambition to rule the country, he will be stopped by all parties, including him, Han Yu.

For Han Yu, he naturally hoped that his ninth brother Han Fei could change the situation in Korea so as to enhance the national strength, but he also did not want his ninth brother Han Fei to deprive him of all hope without him being in power.

If he acts like this, Ji Wuye and his people will never allow his ninth brother Han Fei to have the possibility of ruling the country.

“Sir, do you think it’s time for me, the fourth brother, to have a formal talk with my ninth brother?”

Han Yu’s eyes sparkled. The reason why Qin was calm was because they were accumulating strength internally, and this period of time was South Korea’s last chance.

Once Qin once again marches eastward with all its might and war breaks out, South Korea, standing in the way, will have little chance.

“Sir, it would be best to invite Princess Honglian to a banquet first.” The servant reminded him, and then said: “The timing is not right. If you go too far, the king will not allow it.”

Hearing this, Han Yu nodded slightly. Honglian was indeed the best person for him to connect his father and his ninth brother Han Fei.

“Then let the princess invite Honglian to come into the palace.”

……

“It’s really a chain reaction, it’s very exciting.”

In a private room of Zilanxuan, Zi Nu sighed, and Han Fei smiled and said, “My fourth brother will be our partner at the right time.”

“Brother Han, your purpose is actually to induce the Fourth Young Master to take the initiative to join the game.” Zhang Liang said with certainty. Han Fei nodded and smiled, saying: “Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.”

“I am the ninth son of Korea, but I don’t have much status. If I want to stir up the night, Fourth Brother’s move is neither too big nor too small, just right.”
