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

Chapter 227: Night ends and dawn begins

It was nearly dawn, but the sky over Xinzheng was still an eerie blood-red color.

The downpour continued unabated, even intensifying, cascading down like a waterfall.

The torrential rain pounded on the ruins of the Crown Prince's residence, on the wounds of the corpses on the ground, and on Han Fei's already somewhat cold heart.

In the midst of the rain, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a hazy mist, and everything in sight was blurred.

But Han Fei didn't care. He just vaguely followed the direction of the corpse and struggled forward, each step feeling as heavy as lead.

Han Fei's face was covered with what looked like rain or tears. He wiped it away with his sleeve and finally saw the appearance of the corpse in front of him clearly.

His plump body was somewhat bloated from being soaked in the rain, and his prosperous face still faintly showed signs of fear, but it was still very clear that this was King Han An.

Han Fei knelt before the corpse, carefully examining every detail of it.

There weren't many wounds, just a hole in his chest through which a chain had passed.

Death can happen in an instant, a single blow can be fatal.

It is likely that he did not suffer much torment or pain before his death.

Wei Zhuang followed closely behind Han Fei.

The sudden sight of Han Wang An's corpse was somewhat shocking for Wei Zhuang, but not as intense as it was for Han Fei.

He knew perfectly well what was most crucial at this moment!

Holding the Shark Tooth sword tightly in his hand, Wei Zhuang's eyes were cold and sharp as he fixed his gaze on Tian Ze.

They will launch an attack immediately if there is even the slightest opening.

However, Tianze remained completely inactive.

Beneath the blood-red sky, only six snake-skull chains coiled around a black aura.

"I'm sorry you're late."

Tianze's expression was somewhat crazed, but he spoke with a calm and relieved air.

"Did Bai Yifei tell you to do this?"

Wei Zhuang spoke calmly.

Just one step away, he saw the corpse of King Han An, which angered Wei Zhuang.

But he won't show it; anger is meaningless.

He was just a little confused.

Bai Yifei released Tianze, using him as the sharpest knife to help Han Fei cleanse the filth he could not remove.

Wei Zhuang was well aware of all of this.

Killing the King of Han would only lead to the worst possible outcome in the current situation.

All the officials and even members of the royal family in South Korea knew that the King of Han was in the hands of Ji Wuye.

The death of the King of Han left Ji Wuye with no way out but to fight back.

This will certainly not succeed.

But before that, no one knew what Ji Wuye, who had completely gone mad, was capable of doing.

Although Bai Yifei commanded 100,000 White Armor Army soldiers, he brought only a small number to Xinzheng, and it was impossible for him to contend with Ji Wuye.

Everyone will be in the most dangerous situation!

The snake-bone chain etched six scorch marks in the rain, each mark ending in frost: "Bai Yifei?"

A strange smile played on Tianze's crazed face: "Of course not!"

"In fact, what they want me to do is to hand over the King of Han to you intact."

Wei Zhuang fell silent.

Raindrops streamed down his face, dripping down his chin.

His clothes and body were completely soaked.

Even with a life-or-death battle looming at any moment, Wei Zhuang didn't have the luxury of using his inner energy to avoid the rain.

"The feeling of hatred burning through the cage... is it still exhilarating?"

Before anyone knew it, Han Fei had stood up again.

He looked at Tianze, his face showing no hatred, only a hint of sorrow.

"Everyone says that Han Fei is the smartest man in the entire state of Han, and seeing him today, I can confirm it's true!"

"Bai Yifei imprisoned me for more than ten years and tortured me for more than ten years. In the dark and sunless prison, I lived on the most intense hatred!"

"He unleashed this vengeful beast of mine, thinking that a mere Gu worm could make me be driven by him like a dog? Hahahaha!"

Tianze gave a word of approval, then suddenly burst into wild laughter, causing the snake bone chains to swing wildly.

"dream!"

His laughter echoed throughout the Crown Prince's residence, but then his expression suddenly turned cold.

"You killed the crown prince of Korea, you killed the nobles of Korea, does Bai Yifei really think I became his dog because of a tiny Gu worm?"

"What a joke! This is just me getting revenge for myself!"

"He wanted me to make a knife, but he forgot that a knife can also hurt itself!"

The rain subsided, and the blood-red sky was gradually taken over by the morning light.

Han Fei looked up at the rain, letting it wash over his face: "Are you willing to die for revenge?"

"Perhaps there really is an invisible force in the world that controls people's destiny in the dark."

Han Fei suddenly recalled his conversation with his teacher Xunzi when he left Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

In the midst of the changes in Xinzheng, everyone has their own ideas and purposes.

But whether it's Ji Wuye, Bai Yifei, or Han Fei...

None of them expected that Tianze's hatred would lead to an outcome that no one could have predicted.

Even if Tianze is just a knife, a chess piece.

A knife can also turn on its master, and a chess piece can jump off the chessboard.

"Bai Yifei's biggest mistake was letting me kidnap the King of Han!"

Tianze's smile suddenly turned somewhat ferocious, but he continued to speak.

After enduring much hardship, he turned against Bai Yifei and finally avenged his great grudge, delivering a devastating blow. How could he not vent his frustration?

"He rose to the throne as King of Han by virtue of his military achievements in Baiyue. Today, I, the Crown Prince of Baiyue, will take his life on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of innocent souls of Baiyue!"

"Killing the King of Han would allow me to avenge myself and get revenge on Bai Yifei. With such a good opportunity right in front of me, how could I possibly give it up?"

Tianze burst into laughter, his face growing increasingly ferocious.

He could clearly feel his heart being gnawed at, but he didn't care at all.

"It's just death!"

There was no intense fighting.

Tianze fell straight backward amidst the laughter.

boom!

Water splashed up from the ground and landed on Han Fei's face.

He didn't wipe it away; he just stood there quietly, staring at the two corpses facing each other on the ground, speechless for a long time.

In the darkness behind him, Bai Yifei, clad in silver armor and holding a blood-red Gu worm, slowly walked out through the rain.

He glanced at the two corpses indifferently, said nothing, and then turned and left.

The dark clouds in the sky had completely dispersed at some point, and the rain gradually thinned out until it stopped altogether.

The stains on the Crown Prince's residence had long been washed away, and the broken walls and ruins even looked brand new.

A few vines and blades of grass still held droplets of water. The golden sun finally pierced the sky, and the grass, having absorbed the blood of the King of Han, flourished.

Morning light shines on the earth, South Korea...

The night ends and the day dawns.
