Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 65 Yao Jia the Thief

Three days later, King Han still had not found out who was behind the incident, so Yao Jia and Yang Ruihe fled Xinzheng with their men.

Because of the experience from last time, Zhang Sheng specially sent people to protect the Qin envoys this time. However, no one expected that Yao Jia and Yang Ruihe would actually cut their clothes with their swords, mess up their hair, and run away with their people after leaving the inn, shouting as they ran.

Zhang Sheng's soldiers chased after them, and the situation turned into a chase. Yao Jia and Yang Ruihe took advantage of the chaos and rode out of Xinzheng with their men.

Outside Xinzheng, someone had already picked up the two men.

When Zhang Sheng received the news, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

The doctor who was still living in Zhang's house was hurriedly called in, and after some diagnosis and treatment, he finally woke Zhang Sheng up.

Zhang Kaidi over there also heard the commotion in the mansion. When asked, the servant naturally did not dare to hide anything and told the truth.

"Yao Jia, you thief!"

Zhang Kaidi only had time to say four words before he ran out of breath and passed out.

The servant was so frightened that he crawled out to call a doctor.

The doctor rushed over to treat Zhang Kaidi.

In the palace of King Han, King Han naturally also received the news that Yao Jia and his men had escaped from Xinzheng. He was so angry that his eyes turned red. He drew his sword and cut off the man's head. The round head fell to the ground and rolled for a long distance.

"You little brat..."

The King of Han held the sword in his hand and fainted before he could finish his words.

The eunuch, who was so frightened that he was lying on the ground and trembling, quickly crawled over and used him as a meat cushion for the King of Han. Someone hurried out to call a doctor.

Yao Jia and Yang Ruihe had just escaped from Xinzheng when the next day, Qin generals Meng Ao, Heng Qian and Ning Teng led an army of 150,000 to attack Han. Because General Ning Teng was familiar with the Han generals, the Han army was defeated.

Fusu has returned to Zhang Yuanqing since the war between the two countries began.

This time Zhang Yuanqing did not let Fusu go out. In the morning, Fusu stayed with Zhang Yuanqing to handle the political affairs of Nanyang. In the afternoon, he practiced martial arts with Li Xin. Then the two began to discuss military strategies.

Fusu lived a very fulfilling life every day.

During the war between the two countries this time, the officials of Nanyang did not forcibly collect grain as they did before, which made the people of Nanyang feel at ease and more grateful to the King of Qin.

Sure enough, what those people said was right. The King of Qin loved the people very much.

And at this time in the underworld.

After two days of busy work by the doctors, Zhang Kaidi finally woke up. Zhang Liang hurried over with Zhang Sheng, but was told by the doctor that his father|grandfather did not have much time left and he should be mentally prepared.

Zhang Sheng, who was already feeling unwell, was overcome with grief and fainted again. The entire Zhang Mansion depended on Zhang Liang for support.

In the palace of King Han, the King of Han had not yet woken up.

The King of Han had been addicted to wine and women, and his health had long been deteriorating. Now he was filled with rage, and his situation was really bad.

The queen and her men stayed by the King's side day and night, and the King's children also came every day to inquire about their father's condition.

The ministers were even more anxious and angry.

The situation in South Korea is critical now, but no one has stepped forward to take charge of the situation.

It was at this time that the copied letter was delivered to Zhang Yuanqing.

The letter detailed the current situation in Xinzheng, and Zhang Yuanqing laughed out loud after reading it.

"Shangqing Yaojia has profound skills, and one person can defeat ten thousand troops."

Fusu also took the letter curiously.

"Sir, the King of Han and the Prime Minister of Han are so weak."

"How rude of you. You were so angry that you fainted over a plot by Lord Yao Jia. How mean of you."

Zhang Yuanqing: ...

Wouldn't this child be taught the wrong way?

Zhang Yuanqing considered it for a moment before looking at Fusu and saying, "So health is the foundation of everything. My son, you must practice martial arts diligently and have a strong physique. Only then can you better share the king's worries and work for the welfare of the people."

"Fusu has made a note of this. From now on, Fusu will add an extra hour of martial arts practice every day to keep his body in good shape."

Fusu nodded his little head and looked at Zhang Yuanqing with his big eyes full of trust.

Zhang Yuanqing felt uncomfortable being stared at and coughed lightly. "Alright, go find Li Xin to practice martial arts. When Yao Jia Shangqing returns in a few days, ask him to tell you in detail about his great achievements in Xinzheng."

"promise."

Yao Jia, who had hidden his merits and fame after turning Xinzheng upside down, had just arrived at General Meng Ao with Yang Ruihe.

The two men rested for a day. Yang Ruihe stayed to attack Han, while Yao Jia returned to Zhang Yuanqing's side in Nanyang.

In the State of Wei, King Zeng of Wei did not adopt Zhang Er's suggestion to send troops to support the State of Han. Instead, he ordered General Xiang Ta to station troops on the border of Wei to prevent the State of Qin from attacking Wei.

Xianyang

Since Ying Zheng received the message from Yao Jia, he was in a good mood for several days and even visited the harem more often.

Today, a eunuch came to report that another lady was pregnant. With joy on top of joy, Ying Zheng rewarded the harem with many gifts.

"Your Majesty, General Meng Wu is here."

"pass."

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Meng Wu came in the wind and snow.

"Your Majesty, the fine salt, plows, and coins are ready and can be shipped to Nanyang at any time."

"Let Meng Tian take it. We'll set off tomorrow."

"promise."

"Your Majesty, we have already forged three thousand iron swords. Should we send them to my father?"

"Yes, let Meng Tian send them together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Please arrange for the guards at the ironworks. I give you the authority to kill anyone who dares to approach without permission."

In an instant, Meng Wu was frightened by Ying Zheng's murderous intent.

"promise."

After Meng Wu left, Ying Zheng turned and went to another room where the map of the seven countries was placed. Ying Zheng stood in front of the map and looked at it for a long time.

Ever since Zhao Gao was assigned a task by Ying Zheng last time, he has been guarding the Changping Jun Mansion every day, but after a few days, he has not gained anything special.

Zhao Gao thought for a long time and decided to take his men to guard the place himself, day and night.

Xinzheng

"How is my health? You must not hide it."

After the King of Han regained consciousness, he called a physician to inquire about his condition. The King of Han, who had been living in absurd circumstances all his life, was now unusually lucid. His eyes were sharp, and the physician, daring not to conceal anything, wiped the sweat from his forehead and told him the truth: "Your Majesty, your health is seriously depleted. If you were healthy, you could have another seven or eight years to live. Now..."

"how?"

"explain."

“It’s less than a year now.”

After the doctor finished speaking, he felt exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

"Less than a year?"

"Less than a year!"

"Hahahaha cough cough cough"

The violent coughing made King Han's pale face look a little rosy.

After taking a few breaths, King Han propped himself up and looked at the physician and asked, "Is the alchemist's elixir useful?"

The doctor looked up at King Han in fear, then quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the alchemist's medicine cannot be trusted."

"The King of Qin was testing the elixir on animals in Xianyang, recording the animals' changes daily after taking the medicine. In the end, the animals all went mad and died. The elixir must be poisonous, Your Majesty."

"King of Qin! Ying Zheng!"

King Han said these four words with gnashing teeth.

"No matter what method you use, I will give you two days to get up and go to court. If you can't do it, I will kill your entire clan."

The doctor was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and his voice trembled: "My king, how can you use those fierce and dangerous medicines? They will shorten your lifespan."

"No problem, give it to me. My country, Korea, is about to perish, so what use is there for me to live this long?"
