Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 176 Martyrs

Bai Yifei was dressed in blood-red clothes, and the white-armored soldiers following behind him were all in silver-white armor, each of them looking extraordinary.

This is Bai Yifei's most elite White Armor Army.

Blood-stained clothes reflected in white armor; Bai Yifei, riding a tall and handsome white horse, was already within three feet of Ying Jing.

The six sword slaves were on high alert, their expressions wary, their auras completely locked onto him. The slightest movement would trigger a fierce and swift attack.

"There's no need to be so vigilant. Marquis Blood-Clad is not our enemy. We should thank you for your help in dealing with these assassins so easily."

Ying Jing smiled. The assassins lying in ambush on both sides of the mountain had obviously been dealt with by Bai Yifei and his White Armor Army.

With a wave of his hand, someone from the white-armored army behind him brought up a tall, slender man in a light-colored robe. He was tall and had an upright posture.

"Fourth Young Master Han Yu?"

Ying Jing frowned slightly.

He didn't really have a deep impression of this guy, but he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have also coveted the Baiyue treasure and even sent his adopted son Han Qiancheng, but he was easily killed by the Luo Wang.

Hmm... was it Zhen Gang or Xuan Jian who did it? Maybe it was someone else. In any case, Ying Jing didn't pay much attention to such a minor character.

“He is one of the masterminds, and we will deal with the others one by one. Now that we have shown our sincerity, Lord Changxin… what about you?”

Bai Yifei remained expressionless, his tone indifferent.

Lady Mingzhu once told Ying Jing that some people might be desperate and take action against him.

But she also said that a few clowns are nothing to worry about.

So Bai Yifei came today, even though he thought it was unnecessary.

Even though Bai Yifei wasn't entirely willing to side with Ying Jing, the choices made by Madam Mingzhu and the Marquis made it impossible for him to act according to his own wishes.

We will support Changxin Jun at all costs.

"Sincerity...you'll see."

In fact, Ying Jing wasn't too worried about an assassination attempt of this magnitude today; it would only cause some minor trouble and perhaps bring some losses.

In this era of war, there are countless death row inmates and exiled fugitives. The Net of Justice is never short of manpower and is not afraid of sacrifice.

However, the help and support that Lady Mingzhu had given him all along had indeed touched Ying Jing somewhat.

This woman is really willing to help when she needs it!

Ying Jing's original plan for this trip to South Korea was to win over Ji Wuye, whose personality weaknesses were obvious. In comparison, Bai Yifei's thoughts were more unpredictable.

Although Ji Wuye had a bad reputation, the benevolent Jing never considered reputation when making friends, and none of his "good friends" among the six kingdoms had a good reputation.

This is not a flaw. I believe that under the influence of Jing Dashan's great character and lofty ideals, they will eventually be moved, abandon darkness for light, and sacrifice themselves for the vision of world unification and peace!

However, even Ying Jing had not expected to receive such a huge unexpected joy from Lady Mingzhu.

This directly caused the Blood-Clad Marquis to defect, forcing Ji Wuye to make a choice.

This caused Ying Jing's original plans to be abandoned, and many things became much simpler.

Even now, regarding the journey away, although Lady Mingzhu knew that Ying Jing was unlikely to be in any danger, she still sent Marquis Xueyi to help.

"I really didn't intend to be a kept man..."

Jing Dashan suddenly felt a little uneasy. He came to save the tragic and miserable woman, but it seemed that things had turned out the other way around.

Was it destined that he would never turn back from the moment he started living off Zhao Ji?

"I am deeply grateful for your kindness, which is too much to bear."

Ying Jing had a headache: "Please tell her for me... my promise to her has never changed."

"My heart is filled with love, how could I not express it? I cherish it in my heart, how could I ever forget it?"

After a moment's hesitation, he changed his mind and said, "Of course, it could also be them."

Bai Yifei's eyes narrowed slightly. He gave Ying Jing a deep look, then said nothing more and rode away.

Behind him, the white-armored army galloped up, the sound of hooves kicking up dust that danced in the air.

Han Yu was left standing alone, his expression surprisingly calm.

Han Yu also received the same treatment as Bai Yifei, as the Six Sword Slaves' aura had already locked onto him.

"Your Majesty, shall we interrogate this person?"

Ying Jing frowned, seemingly having nothing to ask.

They're about to destroy someone's country, are we really going to ask Han Yu why he wanted to assassinate him?

Accomplices? There's no point in asking that; Bai Yifei and Madam Mingzhu will handle everything.

"Kill him!"

Ying Jing pondered for a moment, then simply waved his hand.

"Lord Changxin, wait!"

Han Fei remained in his own carriage the entire time, never stepping down from it, regardless of the rolling stones, the assassination attempt, or Bai Yifei's appearance.

But now, upon discovering that the mastermind behind the assassination was Han Yu, who had been captured and was about to be executed, they could no longer contain themselves.

Even though he and Han Yu had never gotten along, with the fate of the state of Korea almost sealed, Han Fei only hoped that Han Yu, who was also of royal blood, could survive.

"Imprisonment or jail, if possible, please spare his life, Lord Changxin."

Han Fei wanted to plead for mercy, but he didn't know how to start.

After all, this was an assassination attempt, and he had no leverage to speak with Ying Jing.

Ying Jing frowned. If Han Yu was willing to live as an ordinary person, it wouldn't matter if he kept his life.

But the fact that he was willing to risk his life to assassinate someone clearly shows that he had a heart that was not content with the ordinary.

If we spare his life today, even if we unify Korea in the future, he might become a source of incitement to chaos.

"Hu... husband."

Inside the carriage, the curtains were lifted, revealing Honglian's rosy cheeks and a hint of sorrow in her eyes.

Honglian didn't plead for mercy, but that one word, "husband," seemed to have said it all.

"Hahaha!"

Just as Ying Jing was deep in thought, Han Yu suddenly smiled.

"Lord Changxin, I am a dying man. May I ask you a few questions?"

Ying Jing said calmly, "Go ahead and answer, but I can't guarantee I'll get back to you."

"The King of Han is about to die; is my father's life in danger?"

"If King Han An is sensible, his life can be saved."

"Honglian is a princess, and to be your concubine is already a great humiliation. Can you guarantee her a life of wealth and honor without being bullied?"

"No one can bully my woman."

"Han Fei... never mind..."

Han Yu glanced at Han Fei, but then suddenly shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.

He suddenly burst into laughter: "Although South Korea is small, it is among the seven strongest countries in the world. How can the royal bloodline suffer the humiliation of imprisonment, or be subjected to swords?"

"Now that the state of Han is about to perish, how can my Ji clan of Han not have a single person who would die for the country?"

"Today, I, Han Yu, will be the first!"

As he finished speaking, black blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
