across the Quartet

Guren woke up from the darkness.My mind was full of chaos, and the back of my head hurt like a thousand needles.She tried to move her hands and feet, but suddenly found that her wrists were tied behind her back, and her ankles were also bound by strong ropes, making her unable to move.

Something bad happened.

This is a room with closed doors and windows, burning lard ointment as a lamp; the furnishings in the room are so luxurious that Honglian almost thinks that she is back in the palace.

No, this is definitely not Han Palace.

A broad shadow covered the glimmer of light in front of him.When Honglian raised her head, she saw a burly man dressed as a general standing in front of him, with thick eyebrows, long eyes, and yellow teeth, which looked familiar upon closer inspection.

The man saw Honglian's jet-black pupils, and said joyfully, "It turns out that Her Royal Highness is already awake." Then he squatted down, and approached her carefully.

Seeing his lustful expression, Hong Lian couldn't help being furious, and scolded: "Han Shen! You are so courageous!!"

This person is Han Shen, the general of Wangcheng. Although he came from a very thin bloodline in the clan, he is still in an important position. He holds the [-] defenders stationed in Xinzheng in his hand. Although the number is small, he is a rare elite in the Han army. .There are rumors in the market that since he met Princess Honglian at a palace banquet two years ago, he has been fascinated and has not thought about food and drink since then. He is a rare infatuated man.

It's a pity that at this moment Honglian only felt a deep malice from him.She curled up and shouted sharply: "Who gave you the guts to tie me up? Aren't you afraid of death?!"

"Hahaha... The princess misunderstood, how dare the servants hold the princess hostage." Han Shen laughed, "It was the commander Wei Zhuangwei who sent the princess here."

"...Don't frame it, why did Wei Zhuang do this?"

"Commander Wei is world-class in martial arts, and he is a close friend of Jinlan with his subordinates; seeing that his subordinates miss the princess day and night, he felt pity for him, so he did a small favor for his subordinates..." Han Shen was full of nonsense, but his pair of thieves did not care. Unambiguously, he touched Honglian.

Hong Lian leaned her back against the wall and tried her best to dodge. Suddenly, her knee suddenly pushed up, hitting Han Shen's lower abdomen.The man fell to the ground with a scream, clutching his vitals and rolling.Honglian took the opportunity to find a gap, and crawled hard towards the door with her elbows and knees, but she didn't want to be pulled back by Han Shen's hair from behind, and slapped her head and face a dozen times.

The man was panting like a cow, and he cursed dirtyly while beating: "Little bitch, do you think you are still a princess? After entering this door, you are my Han Shen's man, and you will never get out in this life—"

Where has Honglian suffered such humiliation?Several heavy blows made her temples disheveled and her cheeks were swollen; her anger overwhelmed her fear and pain, she stared straight at the man riding on her, and said fiercely in her heart, even if she wanted to bite, she would have to bite her. Kill this disgusting beast.

Han Shenfan was taken aback by her eyes, and threatened himself as if to embolden himself: "Little slut, you'd better be honest, otherwise I'll cut off your tongue and your two feet, look How are you going to mess around in the future?"

Honglian lowered her eyes, her lips were silently chanting.

Mother, you told your daughter not to reveal this skill to outsiders unless you have to; but now it's a life-and-death moment...

Han Shen thought she was frightened, so he was even more proud, and grabbed Honglian's collar and tore her clothes.Hong Lian tensed her back, rolled and struggled like a big fish that had bitten the bait, and kicked him from time to time, which made Han Shen go crazy, and grabbed her neck with both palms——

At this critical moment, the closed door opened with a bang.

Han Shen withdrew his hand in shock, turned his head to look, and saw a servant of the mansion standing at the door. He couldn't help being furious, and shouted: "Didn't you all be guarded at the door! Get out quickly!!"

The servant stumbled in as if he hadn't heard of it, with one hand grabbing his neck and the other stretched forward——his face was suffocated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't; he suddenly fell to the ground halfway , kicked his legs a few times indiscriminately, and finally stopped moving.

Only then did Han Shen notice that there was a long colorful snake wrapped around the man's neck.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and a layer of cold sweat gradually seeped from his back.

Because the door was opened, more light leaked in; only then did Han Shen see how many snakes had crawled into his backyard, long and short, red and green, some were very common grass snakes, and some could be seen at a glance It is a highly poisonous pit viper.There was a loud sound of beating and wailing in the courtyard.Many snakes were cut into several sections by sharp tools, but more people were poisoned by the snake venom and died on the spot.

These snakes poured in from all directions, like streams converging into a big river, and finally meandering towards him like a tide.

"Oh my god!!!" Han Shen jumped up, relying on his armor, he ran against the "snake flow" into the yard recklessly.Fortunately, several subordinates with high martial arts skills were there in time to respond.He gasped in shock, only then remembered to turn his head and look inside the door.

Honglian sat quietly on the ground, letting countless snakes, large and small, approach, and even climb up her body.A big scarlet snake made a circle around her slender waist, but instead of tightening it as hard as it was trying to deal with its prey, it coiled steadily, as gentle and powerful as a lover's arm.

"My God... monster! Monster!!" Han Shen shouted hoarsely: "Quick! Quick, use a bow and arrow for me! Shoot that demon girl to death!"

It's a pity that most of the servants in the nursing home were too busy to fight snakes, and no one was free to take the bow and arrow for a while.Guren took the opportunity to desperately struggle with her hands and feet, trying to reach the dagger hidden in the boot shaft with her bound hands.

"Hey!"

Honglian was startled, and when she looked up, she saw a child who looked no more than seven or eight years old, hanging upside down with his legs hooked on the beams, and a pair of surprisingly bright eyes stared at her fiercely, "Your snake!" How will you compensate me for eating my bird?"

"...Who are you? What are you doing here?!"

The child didn't seem to hear Hong Lian's question, and continued to blame himself: "I saw it, it's the one on your waist that just swallowed my spy wing..."

"Demon girl! Let these snakes retreat quickly, or they will shoot arrows!!" Han Shen shouted in the courtyard.

Hong Lian tilted her head to look, she didn't know when there were many armored men in the courtyard, pointing at this room with bows and arrows, she couldn't help but panic and said: "Hurry up, they will shoot you to death together of--"

"Hmph." The child's mouth twitched into a sneer of disdain.Hong Lian suddenly felt that this kind of laughter was very familiar, as if she had seen it on someone's face before.

"Just relying on them, want to take my life?"

Hong Lian only felt a gust of breeze blowing in front of her eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the child disappeared.

She shook her head, thinking that she was encountering a ghost in the daytime——suddenly, she saw a white mass rushing into the soldiers holding bows and arrows, so fast that she couldn't see the movement clearly.Several soldiers had their throats slit before they even had the time to shout, and their blood spurted out wildly.Then she blinked again, and the child had returned to her side, raising her right hand as if showing off, the side of her palm glowing with a cold light.

Guren couldn't believe her eyes.This child is so young and so beautiful, but he kills people so neatly.

"Pay my bird." The child subtly raised his head at her, as if writing in his eyes: If you see it, this is the end of not repaying the debt.

"...You're stupid! There are more than this few of them—go away! We're going to shoot arrows!!!"

Guren finally pulled out the dagger and cut off the shackles on her hands and feet, but it was too late.The limbs that had been numb after being bound for too long were much slower than usual. Before she could dodge, she was nailed into her thigh by a feather arrow, and she almost passed out from the pain.

"Tsk, it's really slow." The child jumped onto the beam again, holding two arrow clusters in his hand, looking down at her from above.

Seeing that Honglian was injured, Han Shen in the yard became frivolous again, and approached the house while driving away the snakes under the guard of his subordinates.Honglian struggled to hold up half of her body.The big red snake raised its neck and hissed out a red letter, as if it wanted to attack anyone who tried to get close to her.

At this moment, several screams sounded again in the yard.

The man with white hair and shawl stood on the high wall, as if he was just waving the strange sword in his hand at will - the sword was burning with a faint red glow.A large group of soldiers holding bows and arrows suddenly fell down.

Han Shen turned his head slowly, his face distorted with fear: "You...Wei Zhuang! You are not... imprisoned in the palace..."

"The guards are my people, how can they lock me up."

The man smiled slightly, jumped down, and the sword energy was flying around him like a cloud; with a snap of his fingers, he rushed to the front, and picked up Han Shen who was like a walking corpse.

"Who made you frame me?"

Han Shen was dying, but a tall general was strangled like a pheasant, and Wei Zhuang was still slowly tightening his fingers.He screamed through his throat, "Master Prime Minister...Master Prime Minister let me...let me...it's all because of Han Fei! You and Han Fei are in the same party, coveting the position!! You...uh..."

"...Han Xi?" Wei Zhuang frowned and relaxed his fingers.Han Shen fell to the ground and coughed, not wanting Wei Zhuang to knock him unconscious with the hilt of his sword suddenly.He knelt down on one knee, bowed to Hong Lian and said, "Princess, my servant came too late to save you. How should I deal with this person?"

The pain and blood loss made Honglian feel dizzy, but she didn't faint; suddenly she felt a sharp pain from the wound, and in a trance, she saw Wei Zhuang dragged Han Shen to the front at some point, and was spraying an arrow on her arrow wound. powder.As if knowing something, the group of snakes entrenched around her retreated silently.

"The arrow cluster can't be pulled out for the time being, I have to find a doctor."

"...Kill..." Honglian gritted her teeth and pointed at the dead Han Shen. "kill him……"

"Wei Zhuang is just a court guard, how can he deal with ministers."

Hong Lian gave him a hard look, but Wei Zhuang smiled meaningfully.His voice was low and exuding heat, repeatedly shaking her eardrums.

"Princess, you should kill him yourself."

"This person is rude to the princess, and he deserves to die."

"Princess, do it—"

As if bewitched by an evil spirit, Guren raised the dagger in her hand, almost exhausting all her strength.She felt her eyeballs quivering.The sharp blade pierced into the human body with a chirping sound.

"Well done, princess." The seductive voice was still in my ears. "Unfortunately, it's not accurate enough."

In confusion, she felt that the man wrapped her clenched hand in his palm, pulled out the dagger, and stabbed again.More blood gushed out, wetting her sleeves.Before she completely lost consciousness, she heard the man say somewhere: "Never let it out that I have been here, General Wangcheng was personally executed by His Highness..."

Wei Zhuang's mood is not easy.He wasn't so naive as to think that if he got rid of Han Shen, he would see through the entire trap of his opponent.It is not a big secret in South Korea that Han Shen wants to get Honglian.But before, he had neither the opportunity nor the courage.Why did he suddenly do it today?And why do you have to think so hard to blame Wei Zhuang on him?Honglian, Maid Xiaohe, Young Master Cheng, Han Shen, and even Han Wang are just a few pawns on the bright side, leading him into the game step by step without knowing it; and the people playing chess behind the scenes... ...is it just Han Hee?

He looked up at the beam, "You have been following her, and you can see who made it."

"Spider." The kid threw away the arrow cluster and tapped the back of his neck with his fingers.

snare?Wei Zhuang was surprised.They actually intervened?

However, if Han Shen accepted bribes from the people of Qin, he should have done things for the people of Qin, why did Luo Wang do things for him instead?Unless, it's a deal...

The Qin people used Princess Honglian as a bait, what did they exchange with Han Shen?

Wei Zhuang rubbed his forehead and thought hard.A series of things that happened recently went through my mind again and again.

King Qin wanted to see Han Fei.Han Fei offered a book when he was sick.Yao Jia forced Han Wang.Luo Wang gave the red lotus to Han Shen...Suddenly, there seemed to be a light from the sky in my heart; like a string of beads, suddenly strung together by a silk thread, tightened—

Han Shen is the guard of the king's city, and he has a Feiyu token in his hand; there are only two tokens in Korea, and the other token is in the hands of King Han.

With the Feiyu order in hand, drivers can enter and exit Xinzheng and the surrounding passes at will, and no one can stop or search, even if they are envoys from other countries.

From the very beginning, Yao Jia had no intention of letting Han Fei go!

Wei Zhuang turned around sharply, his body suddenly jumped up like a fierce bird, and ran towards the north of the city.

But it's still... come and...

The courtyard was empty.The thick pear tree was swaying from side to side by the strong wind.Konoha whirled on the ground, as if trying to hold something back.

"Uncle Fei! Uncle Fei!!" He yelled eagerly into the wind, not caring about being heard by those who cared.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure poking his head, and when he saw him turn around, he planned to run away.

Wei Zhuang stepped forward a few steps, and brought the shadow back; when he took a closer look, he suddenly burst out laughing, shaking all the dead leaves of the tree to rustle.

"It turned out to be you!" There was bitterness and murderous intent in his laughter, "I should have thought that if it wasn't for you, how would Han Xi know that Wei wanted to get a favor for Han Fei! If it wasn't for you, Yao Why is Jia so eager to act...Because I said yesterday that I would hide him in Yangdi! These are secrets that only the two of us know...No one else in this world can know except you!"

It was the boy who had been following Han Fei all the time. He was forced by Wei Zhuang's murderous aura, his limbs were chattering and his teeth were chattering, and he couldn't speak a word.

"When I talk to Uncle Fei, I have always been very careful... But many secrets can prevent others, but they can't prevent you. The same is true of His Highness Honglian. I have always wondered why someone would use her to deal with me... and It was you. That time when I was playing chess with Uncle Fei and I mentioned her, you heard a few words and mistakenly thought that I had some extraordinary relationship with her, so you offered such a good plan to kill two birds with one stone to Yao Jia. It’s ridiculous that I pretend to be careful Be cautious, but fall into the hands of a 'big man' like you!!"

Enraged, Wei Zhuang flicked his sleeves and threw the boy out!

He took a deep breath, and then thought that maybe he should torture the spy carefully to confirm some details; unfortunately, when he got closer, the boy's complexion was pale, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he had died.

Regardless of his frustration and self-reproach, he turned around and walked away, pushing the speed of lightness work to the extreme - this time towards the outside of the city.

In Huomei's farm, the people in Quicksand are preparing for the task ordered by the leader recently; I don't want the leader himself to suddenly kick in the door, looking crazy.

"Prepare the horse! Give me the fastest horse!! No blame! No shirt!! Anyone who can ride a horse comes with me!!"

Wei Zhuang has always been calm and self-possessed in front of his subordinates, and this appearance of being in a demon has scared many people.

"My lord, where are you going--" Wu Jiu climbed onto the horse as fast as he could, but he saw Wei Zhuang riding a white horse, rushing far to the west like an arrow leaving the string.

"Chasing people!"

"Where are you chasing—"

"Hangu Pass!!"

Everyone in Quicksand looked at each other in blank dismay; Wei Zhuang didn't explain, just leading them to gallop on horseback without rest.

Yao Jia came to invite Mr. Han Fei to join Qin under the order of King Qin, but it didn't go well at first.Han Wang was hesitant, Han Fei could not excuse his illness, and Wei Zhuang planned to play tricks again; in order to take Han Fei away, he set up a perfect game.

The Korean princess, Honglian, is the most critical piece in the game. It affects King Han, and in exchange for Han Shen's order of flying feathers, traps Wei Zhuang.Now that he took people away smoothly, as long as he entered the territory of Qin State, it was a done deal, and the South Korean monarchs who did not dare to defy Qin State had nothing to say.

When Wei Zhuang ran out of the farm, dozens of people followed him. After a day and a night of desperate driving, only a dozen or so riders were left behind him.Even so, several healthy horses were showing fatigue and foaming at the mouth.

"My lord! My lord—" Wu Jiu gathered his voice together and shouted from a distance, "If you keep going like this, people can bear it, and the horse will run away to death—"

Wei Zhuang reined in his horse on a mound and looked into the distance.Finally, a convoy appeared in the field of vision, holding the flag of the Qin envoy.He nodded and waited for the twelve riders to swarm up and stop behind him.

"Come down with me, snatch the son back, and kill the Qin people."

"Wait! If King Qin knew about this, wouldn't he send troops to South Korea—"

"Qin will send troops to South Korea no matter what. The difference is only in the morning and evening." Wei Zhuang shook his head and said, "Our country has Han Fei, even if it dies, there is still a chance to rise again; if Han Fei is gone—"

Before he finished speaking, he slapped his horse's butt and jumped down.

The twelve cavalry followed him like a pack of wolves that had spotted their prey, and rushed towards the envoy Qin's cavalry aggressively.Not wanting to rush to a distance of less than a hundred steps, those carriages suddenly released countless arrows backwards—as if they were already prepared to be chased by someone.

"There's a crossbow hidden in the car!" Wu Shi shouted while leaning on his horse.

Shark teeth snapped out of their sheaths.Wei Zhuang pushed aside the messy clusters of arrows, jumped up from his horse, and jumped onto the top of a fast-moving carriage in a blink of an eye.The demon sword drew a red light, and the coachman in front of the horse fell down without making a sound.

Wei Zhuang took advantage of the condescending position, and he was even more reckless in his attacks, slashing left and blocking right, the afterimages were chaotic, and in an instant, the sword aura soared to the sky!

There didn't seem to be many masters among the envoys of Qin, who only relied on the crossbow to injure people, and they were all stopped by the twelve cavalry brought by Wei Zhuang in a short time.The quicksand was shot, and it was indeed clean, leaving no one alive.

But Han Fei wasn't in the car.No Yao Jia either.

"This is a trick to blind the eyes." Wei Zhuang stood between the corpses of the man and the horse, staring at the west, and said slowly: "This convoy is used to delay us, just like Xia Chan took off the layer Empty shell. At this moment, the real Qin envoy may have crossed Yishui."

"...They expected that the adults would come after them?"

Wei Zhuang closed his eyes and said nothing, suddenly threw the shark's teeth into the sand under his feet.

"I lost," he said.

In the 14th year of Qin Wangzheng, Han Fei entered Qin and presented "Cun Han Shu".

In the same year, Han Fei died in Yunyang Prison.
