Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity
Chapter 21 Bet
Outside Xinzheng City, Han Li, who commanded an army of 12 South Koreans, was pacing up and down in the camp tent.
Although Han Li's surname is Han, he is not a son of South Korea. It is said that his ancestor was once a retainer of a son, and was given the surname Han to praise Han Li's ancestor's loyalty to Korea, so Han Li was also honored to be crowned Taking the surname of the country and being reused by the old King Han, he was promoted to a general and commanded the 12 army.
At the banquet the day before, King Han had already told Han Li that when he returned in triumph, he would be rewarded heavily, but Han Li knew that the rewards from King Han were not so easy to get. Who would win this battle? It's hard to say who wins and who loses.
But now, Han Li is so safe, not because of the foreseeable bloody battle in the future, but more because the army is about to march west, but Mr. Han Fei, who is in charge of the army, has not yet Appear.
what is happening?Han Li had been in the barracks for nearly ten years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation where the supervising army went missing.
Could it be...the king of Han's order has changed?
Just as Han Li was thinking this way, the sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer. Han Li hurried to the outside of the tent. In the vast night, dozens of knights were rushing towards the camp.
He asked the guards outside the camp to let them in, but Han Li found that among the dozen or so knights, there was no Mr. Han Fei.
When Han Li was disappointed, those dozens of riders had already arrived in front of Han Li. The young man in the middle got off his horse, and his skillful and neat posture made Han Li's eyes shine. Added a bit of goodwill.
The young man walked up to Han Li, cupped his hands and said:
"Is it General Han Li?"
"It's going on."
"According to the order of the king of Han, the situation in the west has changed, and the westward advance of the army has been postponed."
While saying this, the young man showed the soldier talisman in his hand.
Han Li's eyelids twitched, has the situation changed?
Look carefully at the military talisman in the young man's hand, it is a real military talisman.
Looking at the young man in front of him again, he has an extraordinary bearing, and there is nothing unusual in his expression, but he does not have the slightest impression.It stands to reason that if there is such a person who often goes in and out of the court, I won't have no impression at all...
"Since the king's order has changed, why doesn't your lord have a warrant from the emperor? Where is Mr. Han Fei, who was appointed as the supervisor of the army?"
"The situation in the west has changed suddenly. Your superior hastily recruited your son into the palace to discuss countermeasures. He ordered you to carry a military talisman to send an order, and send guards from the prince's mansion to protect you all the way. I can't say more about the rest."
As if seeing the suspicion in Han Li's expression, the young man paused for a moment, and then continued: "If the general doesn't believe it, you might as well continue to wait."
Hearing what the young man said, Han Li looked at the dozens of knights on the side. The expressionless faces were indeed the guards raised by the prince's mansion.
The western sky has gradually darkened, and the time for departure has already passed. Looking at the young man in front of him who said "Believe it or not, it doesn't matter if you continue to wait, it will be in vain".
Han Li now has another choice, which is to go to the city to meet King Han in person to see if there is really a change in the king's order, but in case King Han punishes himself for leaving his post without authorization...
"General Han, have you thought about it?"
The soldier talisman was already in front of him, and he had no reason not to believe it.
Sighing slightly, Han Li respectfully said to the person in front of him: "Please come in and rest, sir, I haven't asked your name yet."
"Under Li Si."
When Han Li answered, Li Si finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly put down the hand on the hilt of the sword on his waist. His palm was slippery and had already been completely soaked in sweat.
Before following Han Li into the camp, Li Si turned his head and took a deep look at Xinzheng not far away. Under the darkening sky, the dark city looked more chill than ever before.
Xinzheng, the city that used to be the capital of Zheng State, witnessed the demise of Zheng State and the rise and fall of several generations of South Korea. Countless sad or happy stories were staged there, and no one knows what kind of story this ambition will play out.
"grown ups?"
Sensing that Li Si behind him hadn't moved for a long time, Han Li asked a little strangely.
"nothing."
Li Si replied calmly, and walked into the tent. The tent door was lowered to isolate everything that happened outside.
This time, Li Si won the bet.
However, Han Fei's bet had just begun.
===
It was time for the curfew, and the city gate of Xinzheng was slowly closing. Although Li Si was extremely tired, Li Si still didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
It was not the first time Li Si did such a rebellious thing, but this time, he was really nervous and uneasy like never before.
In the middle of the night, hurried footsteps came from outside the tent. Li Si opened his eyes slightly, and saw a messenger enter the tent, and whispered something in Han Li's ear.
Han Li's expression changed, he stood up abruptly, and made a gesture to walk outside.
With a clang, the shining long sword was already resting on Han Li's neck.
"Where is the general going?"
A cold voice came from beside him, and the one holding the long sword was Li Si, who was still asleep just now.
Han Li tilted his head to look at the frail young man beside him. His slender, fair fingers tightly grasped the hilt of the sword. Because of the force, the knuckles were a little white. Under the firelight, they were as bright as jade. Han Li's heart moved, and he mocked: "Sword It's a good sword, but..."
In the blink of an eye, Han Li turned sideways quickly, and reached out to grab Li Si's sword hand before Li Si dodged, while the soldiers around Han Li quickly drew their swords and pointed at Li Si.
Holding Li Si's hand tightly, Han Li continued slowly, "It's just...can such a hand really be used for a sword?"
Although he was controlled by others, Li Si didn't show any panic on his face. He smiled at the person in front of him, Li Si said: "I don't know how to use a sword, but it doesn't mean that others don't know how to use a sword."
"Oops!" Suddenly realizing something, Han Li turned around and ran out of the tent, but it was too late.
In the tent, dozens of long swords were pointed straight at Han Li, and they were able to sneak into the tent without a sound. These people are not ordinary guards, but... dead soldiers!
Han Li's face turned pale in an instant, and he wanted to shout, which would definitely alarm the patrolling guards nearby, but he would also die.
The shout that choked in his throat was finally swallowed back. Han Li was afraid of death, and he could tell that the person in front of him didn't want to kill him. So, what was his purpose?
"You... in the end..."
"Don't worry, the general, I just want the general to stay with Si quietly for a night."
Han Li could only nod.
==
Sitting all night, no one spoke.
When the first ray of dawn shone through the gap into the camp, there was an increasingly rapid sound of horseshoes outside.
As a result, did it finally come out?
A large number of forbidden soldiers surrounded the place, and the moment the tent door was opened, the dead soldiers in the tent dispersed, as if they had never appeared before, but after seeing the person at the door, Li Si suddenly stood up and shouted.
"Brother!"
Han Fei, who stood unscathed at the door of the camp, finally let Li Si's hanging heart rest.
"Junior brother." Facing Li Si, Han Fei's tense face finally showed a smile. You know, while Li Si was worried about Han Fei, Han Fei was also worried about Li Si. If Li Si died, then his throne , what's the point?
"Mr. Han Fei, what is going on?"
Just when Han Fei and Li Si looked at each other, Han Li on the side spoke nonchalantly and glanced at Han Li. Han Fei took out a gold seal from his sleeve.
Li Si didn't know about the golden seal, but Han Li recognized it instantly. It was... the king's seal belonging to King Han!Why is it in Han Fei's hands now?
As if seeing the surprise in Han Li's expression, Han Fei calmly explained: "Last night, there was a rebellion in Wangcheng, and Han Fei was ordered to lead troops to rescue him. He has taken down all the rebels, but when Han Fei arrives, my king has died."
Hearing Han Fei's words, Li Si's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly he had a bad premonition, while Han Li was also thinking suspiciously.
King Han is dead?However, even so, it is not Han Fei's turn to be in charge of the Golden Seal, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously belongs to it...unless...
Thinking of this, Han Li continued to ask:
"The traitor... who instigated it?"
"The former prince Han An."
"What!" Li Si suddenly stood up and shouted in a trembling voice.
"Junior brother, listen to my explanation first..."
Before Han Fei could finish speaking, Li Si had already rushed outside the tent, grabbed a horse and ran into the city.
This is different from his original plan. Their original plan was to force the king of Han to abdicate, and then use the Huairou strategy to make Han An take the initiative to give up the crown prince. But why... it has become like this now?
With the whistling wind in his ears, recalling what Han An had said to him before, there was only one thought left in Li Si's mind.
Han An, you must not have any accidents. There is still an agreement between you and me that has not been fulfilled!
Although Han Li's surname is Han, he is not a son of South Korea. It is said that his ancestor was once a retainer of a son, and was given the surname Han to praise Han Li's ancestor's loyalty to Korea, so Han Li was also honored to be crowned Taking the surname of the country and being reused by the old King Han, he was promoted to a general and commanded the 12 army.
