It can be said that the fear of Qin has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of South Korea.
Especially among the upper class of the Korean State, no one had ever thought that the Qin State would be so despicable as to use deception and wage war under the pretext of welcoming a bride.
Thinking about how he had recently issued an order in the court not to block the Qin wedding procession, King Han An wanted to slap himself in public.
Stupid!! Absolutely stupid!! Absolutely stupid!!
The Qin State had already crossed the line more than once. Why was it that neither he nor the civil and military officials in the court had taken any precautions?!
Right now, it's too late to say anything.
Han Wangan looked at Zhang Kaidi for help and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, what should we do now?"
Zhang Kaidi's expression was filled with grief, and he spoke weakly, "Your Majesty, we must quickly send the princes out of Han and contact the other nations. Perhaps one day... one day, Han will still have a chance to restore its nation! We must not let Qin wipe us out!"
"What about me?" Han Wangan blurted out subconsciously.
"Your Majesty is still the King of Han, I am the Prime Minister of Han, Ji Wuye is the general of Han, and we must live and die with Han!!" Zhang Kaidi's tone was decisive.
But Han Wangan doesn’t want to! !
When Zhang Kaidi proposed to send all the princes away and leave behind the spark of the restoration of the Kingdom of Han, the first thought in King Han's mind was that he also had to find a way to escape as soon as possible.
But Zhang Kaidi, the Prime Minister of Han, did not speak. He could not let the King of Han say in public that he wanted to abandon the world and run away.
"Your Majesty, please do not hesitate!" Zhang Kaidi said in a deep voice, "The Qin army marches extremely fast. I'm afraid they will be at the gates of the city in just a few hours. Please issue orders immediately to send the princes to their respective countries!"
"I...I..." Han Wangan looked at Zhang Kaidi for help, eagerly waiting for Zhang Kaidi to understand what he meant.
Unfortunately, Zhang Kaidi obviously won't open his mouth to do so.
Although Zhang Di and King An of Han seemed to have a harmonious relationship with each other, in fact, there was an irreparable conflict between the two.
The Zhang family has been the prime minister of Han for generations, and it has been three generations since they came to Zhangkaidi.
In South Korea, it's no exaggeration to say that the Zhang family is incredibly powerful. After all, among the seven kingdoms, few have seen such successive successions from father to son, firmly holding the reins of power like the Zhang family of South Korea.
If King Han An had not promptly supported Ji Wuye to check and balance the Zhang family in both civil and military affairs, the Zhang family might have played the game of Tian replacing Qi at some point.
The story of wearing the yellow robe certainly happened in the future, but the story of Tian replacing Qi was even more impeccable.
Seeing that Zhang Kaidi was reluctant to speak, Han Wangan understood that Zhang Kaidi was clearly trying to drag him to death with him.
Glancing at Zhang Kai with resentment, King Han An said in a deep voice, "I will issue the order immediately. Send all the princes to the foreign countries! Prime Minister Zhang, please follow me into the palace. When the Kingdom of Han is destroyed, you and I, the king and this minister, will die together!"
Although he said this, King An of Han knew in his heart that even if the Qin army really captured Xinzheng, as the King of Han, he would at most suffer a little humiliation unless he wanted to die.
After all, this is not the era in the future where all the royal family members of the previous dynasty will be killed.
Even the kings of fallen states would often receive courtesy. At most, they would not have the power they have now, but they would still have no problem being a wealthy and idle person.
With this thought in mind, King Han An and Zhang Kai walked towards the King Han Palace holding hands.
As Han Wangan and Zhang Kaidi disappeared in Han Wangan, an explosive piece of news quickly caused chaos in the entire Xinzheng city.
The marriage between Qin and Han should have been a symbol of peace. However, Qin used the excuse of welcoming the bride as an excuse to send its army straight to Xinzheng.
The Han army, caught off guard, collapsed and was completely defeated. Without even a hint of vigilance, the Qin army advanced straight into the area.
Now, the Qin army, as ferocious as tigers and wolves, is less than a day's distance from the Han capital, Xinzheng. Even in just a few hours, Han will be completely destroyed.
Countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries in South Korea began to pack up their belongings and prepare to flee the city that was about to be destroyed.
The General's Mansion.
Ji Wuye was enjoying the dance of the young girl sent by the Emerald Tiger with a grim smile on his face.
But soon, the newly formed members of the Bainiao Group reported what happened outside the gate of King Han's palace.
When Ji Wuye first heard the news, he was completely stunned.
Even though he claimed to be despicable and shameless, he never thought that the Qin State could be so shameless.
In the name of welcoming a bride, deceiving an entire country! !
"Is there a mistake?" Ji Wuye looked at the members of Bai Niao in disbelief and said, "Given the strength of the Qin army, even if they really wanted to attack South Korea, they shouldn't use such a self-defeating method."
"General! There can't be any mistake!" The Bainiao members knelt on the ground, their voices filled with anxiety, "This news was reported to the King of Han personally by Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi!"
After being stunned for a while, Ji Wuye suddenly felt a surge of rage in his heart. He angrily threw the bronze jug at the Hundred Birds members.
The powerful bronze jug slammed down hard on the opponent's head with a thud, and blood immediately flowed down.
"What are you doing here? Are you all just good-for-nothings? You didn't tell me about the Qin army's invasion of Han until now. What's even more hateful is that you heard about it from that old man Zhang Kaidi. Good-for-nothings!! Good-for-nothings!!"
Ji Wuye was furious.
After experiencing the momentary dizziness from having their heads smashed by the bronze jug, the Bai Niao members knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, explaining, "General, calm down! It's the Qin State. They're definitely trying to prevent us from leaking this information. We've withdrawn a lot of border guards recently to be vigilant against the Quicksand. We've also changed the way intelligence is transmitted, from once a day to once every seven days. Originally, today should have been the day the news arrived. But... I guess the Qin army must have blocked any possibility of this information leaking out!"
Faced with the explanation of the Bainiao members, Ji Wuye became even more angry.
He drew out his eight-foot-long sword. The heavy bronze blade slashed towards the Hundred Birds members.
Although Ji Wuye has a bad temper and is extremely lustful, he is actually quite powerful.
Although he was not as good at fighting as Wei Zhuang and the others, the powerful strength brought by his horizontal training made Ji Wuye realize the principle of "one force can defeat ten skills" without any teacher.
The moment the powerful bronze knife chopped down, the members of Bainiao subconsciously raised their weapons.
Unfortunately, how could Bainiao, who is good at light work, compete with a battlefield master like Ji Wuye in strength?
The so-called weapon is far from comparable to Ji Wuye's eight-foot sword.
With just one collision, Bai Niao's weapon was instantly broken. The bronze knife continued to move forward, slashing across the opponent's neck in an instant.
As blood gushed out, Ji Wuye, who had no intention of dodging, was sprayed in the face.
Ji Wuye wiped the blood off his face and finally calmed down a little.
South Korea is on the verge of destruction. Although Ji Wuye is arrogant and overbearing, he knows very well where everything he has come from.
Based on what he did, once the Kingdom of Han was destroyed, neither Qin nor the other five countries would be able to enjoy the same benefits as they do today.
Unfortunately, even though Ji Wuye knew all this, he had no ability to change it.
After thinking helplessly for a long time in his mind, Ji Wuye finally decided to go to King Han's Palace first.
Although after the fall of Korea, he would certainly not have the power he has now, but if he could open the city and surrender, he might be able to maintain some wealth in the future.
This was also Ji Wuye's final helpless choice.
Then he summoned the trustworthy guards, and Ji Wuye led his trusted subordinates and rode at full speed towards the King of Han's palace.
Although there was a brief moment of chaos in the Han palace when the news first spread, the country was still strong. Under the powerful and almost brutal methods of King Han An, the chaos quickly subsided.
However, there was a lingering smell of blood in King Han's palace.
In the palace hall.
King Han An and his minister Zhang Kaidi sat opposite each other.
"Your Majesty, the hundreds of years of foundation of South Korea is about to be destroyed. Although South Korea will perish in the hands of you and me, it is all God's will!!" Zhang Kaidi persuaded.
Han Wangan's expression kept changing, his brows were sometimes panic, sometimes ferocious, sometimes angry, and sometimes fearful.
Sensing Han Wangan's fear and helplessness, Zhang Kaidi reminded him, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task right now is to protect Princess Honglian's safety!!"
"Protect Honglian?" Han Wangan's eyes narrowed as he looked at Zhang Kaidi angrily and said, "If it weren't for her marriage to Qin, how could our Han State have suffered such an unprovoked disaster? And now you're asking me to protect her?"
Having been a minister to Han Wangan for so long, Zhang Kaidi guessed almost instantly that Han Wangan was taking his anger out on Princess Honglian out of frustration and rage.
The powerful Qin State was almost at the gates of the city. Yet, Han State was unable to offer even the slightest resistance. It's conceivable that if the Qin army were at the gates of the city, many would surrender without hesitation, seeking their own glory and wealth.
Han Wangan obviously understood this.
He dared not resent the Qin State, so he could only blame everything on Princess Honglian. Even before this, Princess Honglian was his most beloved daughter, and even after the marriage with the Qin State, King Han An had repeatedly expressed his reluctance to his daughter's marriage to the Qin State in front of his ministers.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Kaidi said solemnly, "Once South Korea is destroyed, Princess Honglian will become the key to your survival. I hope your Majesty will not harbor any grudges against Princess Honglian!"
Han Wangan's thoughts turned very quickly at this time, and he understood Zhang Kaidi's meaning almost instantly.
The Qin State was certainly using the marriage alliance as a pretext to destroy the country. But unless the Qin State was completely shameless, Princess Honglian would become the Qin State's last fig leaf.
That meant that as long as Princess Honglian spoke, he, the King of Han, might be able to survive, and he wouldn't have to endure too much humiliation.
After realizing this, King Han An suddenly became anxious.
Chapter 154: The Legendary Gods and Demons! Destroy Korea!
When a person is threatened with death, he or she will unleash unimaginable potential.
For example, at this moment, Han Wangan understood what Zhang Kaidi said about how important Princess Honglian was to the future of him, the king of a fallen country. Han Wangan summoned Princess Honglian, who was still unaware of what was happening, in the shortest possible time.
As soon as he saw Princess Honglian appear, Han Wangan immediately put on a look of wanting to cry but having no tears. With a bitter face, he said, "Honglian, you are finally here."
"Father!!" Honglian looked around in confusion and asked, "What happened? Why is there such a strong smell of blood in the palace? And so many people are busy cleaning up."
Although she smelled the lingering smell of blood in the palace, Honglian never dreamed that the bloody smell came from the palace, where countless palace maids had died tragically.
Honglian even took it for granted that the smell of blood might be Han Wangan preparing for her marriage.
"Honglian!!" Han Wangan didn't answer at all, but said straight to the point: "We, South Korea, are finished!!"
Seeing Han Wangan's grief-stricken look, Honglian's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and countless bad thoughts began to emerge in her mind.
"Father, what on earth...what on earth happened?"
"It's the Qin State!" Zhang Kai saw that Han Wangan was still hesitating and not getting to the point. He immediately took the initiative and said, "Princess!"
He bowed to Honglian and said, "Right now, our Han State is facing a critical moment of life and death. The Qin State is using the excuse of welcoming a bride to us, but in reality, it is destroying our country. The army is less than a day's journey from Xinzheng. When the Qin army reaches the city, I believe the princess will know what will happen to Han State."
Honglian's vision went dark, and her body shook violently. "You...what did you say?"
"The Qin State deceived us!" Zhang Kai said solemnly, "They didn't come to welcome the bride at all. Instead... they came to destroy the Han State."
"What about me?" Honglian was not panicking about the fate of South Korea's demise.
In fact, after accepting Ying An's soul thought from the first thunder tribulation, Hong Lian's heart had been subtly influenced by love. She was even more concerned about whether she could successfully marry Ying An than the life and death of Han Guo.
At this moment, Honglian's love-brainedness was obviously even more terrifying than Dongjun's.
But this can be considered Honglian's nature. After the fall of Han, although Honglian was grieving the loss of her country and family, she never had any thoughts of restoring her country. Instead, she willingly stayed by Wei Zhuang's side.
From this point, it is not difficult to judge that in Honglian's character, compared with her family, country and the world, she cares more about love.
All Ying An did was to tie Hong Lian's love firmly to himself.
Moreover, as someone loved by Honglian, Honglian's approach of not caring about anything else but only caring about Ying'an made him feel more at ease.
The fundamental reason why people dislike the character of a love-brained person is probably because the person they love is not themselves!!
Zhang Kaidi was also genuinely shocked by Honglian's words.
He looked at Honglian in shock, and it took him a long time to react.
His cheeks twitched slightly, and he took a deep breath and said, "Princess... I'm afraid that the princess will marry into the Qin State smoothly as agreed upon between Han and Qin. But..."
Hearing this, Honglian didn't care what Zhang Kaidi said next. After all, in her opinion, as long as she could still marry Ying An, it was fine. As for the idea of the two countries going to war, she had no such concept in her mind at all.
"That doesn't matter, as long as I can still marry Master Ying An!"
Now, even Han Wangan couldn't sit still.
He had hoped that his daughter would be able to influence him in the Qin Kingdom in the future. But now it seems that his daughter is nothing but a leaky cotton-padded jacket!
It was a waste of my love for her. But before she even got married, she already started to act in a treasury way!
Taking a deep breath, Han Wangan stared at Honglian and said, "Honglian! Do you know that the one leading the troops to destroy our Han State is none other than the young master Ying'an you mentioned?"
Han Wangan had accumulated a lot of power in Honglian's heart for a long time. When she heard that Han Wangan was angry, she was immediately frightened.
Shrinking her neck and looking at Han Wangan cautiously, Honglian nodded timidly.
"Ah..." King Han An sighed and said, "Father has no expectations of you. I just hope that after you marry into the Qin Kingdom, you will not forget that you were once a princess of the Han Kingdom!"
Honglian nodded, not quite understanding.
Just as Han Wangan was figuring out how to correct Honglian's twisted heart and even get Honglian's promise of affirmation in the future.
There was a noisy sound of footsteps coming quickly from far away.
The guards came to report that General Ji Wuye had finally arrived.
At this point, even if Ji Wuye came, he still couldn't change anything.
Ji Wuye, who came with his troops, had just rushed into the palace when he first took control of King Han An and Zhang Kaidi.
