"I see." When Biao Gong heard that it was Ying Zheng's work, he was no longer surprised. He calmed down a little, nodded, and said, "Indeed, apart from that person, no one can compare to Shang Qing."
He then asked, "Shangqing, would you like to stay in Hangu for one night, or go and see the general now?"
Meng Ao waved his hand, took out a jade slip from his bosom, handed it to Biao Gong, and said: "I will not keep you. After all, although we have the general to support us, the combined strength of the countries cannot be underestimated.
This is for you. It is a blessing bestowed by the Emperor. Once the states are pacified, you can return to Xianyang for further study. For now, it is enough to comprehend the basics."
When Duke Bie heard that it was a favor from the emperor, he no longer refused and took it. He saw that there were only a few words engraved on it: "Killing the Tiger".
Just one glance, and the spirit of Biao Gong seemed to be lost. The white Biao Yundao above his head pounced forward fiercely as if he saw blood.
When Biao Gong opened his eyes again, he was like a tiger that had just woken up. He was awe-inspiring without being angry, and a sense of power came uninvited.
There was a gleam in Meng Ao's eyes, knowing that Bie Gong might have had a great fortune, but judging from his expression, he didn't intend to say anything, so naturally he didn't ask any more questions.
"Congratulations to Lord Biao first." Meng Ao bowed, "It's getting late, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he walked out.
Biao Gong did not offer much, but simply bowed and said, "I present this to you, my Lord."
After a few breaths, Meng Ao disappeared, and Bie Gong stood up and looked at the jade slip in his hand. When he flipped through it again, not only was he no longer able to recall the feeling he had just felt, but even the words were gone.
Apart from the name of this technique, there is no other text.
…
In the palace of Daliang, the capital of Wei, inside the bedroom of King Jingmin of Wei, an envoy was being entertained, an envoy from the State of Han.
This envoy was very strange. He held a sword in his right hand and a crossbow on his back, and stood in front of King Jingmin of Wei in such an unruly manner.
If Wei Cheng didn't know this person, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter this door.
This person was the envoy who entered Anyi with Wei Cheng to participate in the alliance. He was the envoy of the State of Han and also the Crown Prince of Han, Han An.
"I wonder what the King of Han has to discuss with me?" King Jingmin of Wei looked at Han An with disgust. To be honest, King Jingmin of Wei did not like the Kingdom of Han.
After all, the Qin State originally allowed the passage through Xinzheng, the capital of Han, and the benefit it promised was Daliang, the capital of Wei.
It can be said that if Han had not asked Qin to pass through its territory, Qin would not have been able to reach the Wei capital Daliang so quickly, and King Jingmin of Wei would not have had to bear a bad reputation.
"My king asked the King of Wei if he wanted to form an alliance." Han An's eyes were dimmed, as if he had lost his soul, and he asked stiffly.
"Alliance? Alliance?!" King Jingmin of Wei laughed in anger, pointing at Han An and angrily saying, "If you stay in the Wei capital as a hostage, an alliance is not impossible!"
After the Anyi Alliance, Han An became the Crown Prince of Han. If King Huanhui of Han was sincere, he could have kept Han An as a hostage.
If not, there is no need to form an alliance.
Besides, his late master Zixia appeared in spirit, bestowed upon him righteousness and promised him immortality. With this power, King Jingmin of Wei did not believe that he could not resist the so-called Qin army.
"It's a deal." Han An didn't hesitate, but simply bowed. "Your Highness Han An, I greet the King of Wei."
Wei Cheng raised his head in some surprise, looking at the somewhat different Han An in front of him, but he didn't say anything, just looked at him.
King Jingmin of Wei was also a little surprised. How decadent was the State of Han? Even with the blessings of its ancestors, it was still forced by the State of Qin to seek an alliance with its enemy.
Although the various states had verbally formed an alliance in Anyi, it was only verbal. They had to continue to act as they did in public and in private.
"Wei Cheng, send someone to properly place the Crown Prince of Han. Tomorrow we will lead our army to Han to help them resist Qin."
However, since Han An was willing to stay as a hostage, King Jingmin of Wei had no reason to disagree.
After all, the title of Emperor of Qin still made him alert. Coupled with Zixia's warning, King Jingmin of Wei would naturally be more cautious.
In the end, it would be easier for all the countries to unite and attack Qin together, and it would also reduce some of their own internal friction.
In addition, South Korea happened to be standing in front of Qin, blocking Qin's way to the east, so it was necessary to have an extra cannon fodder.
Wei Cheng responded and told the maid to come in and take Han An to the accommodation they had arranged for him.
Han An did not show any dissatisfaction. He bowed calmly, apologized, and followed the maid down.
Seeing that Han An had disappeared, King Jingmin of Wei asked Wei Cheng, "What's wrong with the development?"
Wei Cheng didn't dare to hide it and said it out loud: "From my perspective, Han An seems to have lost his soul. There is something indescribably strange about him."
"Ha!" King Jingmin of Wei sneered, then continued, "That's not surprising! But since we've come to the alliance, it's naturally not good to embarrass them."
He then looked at Wei Cheng and ordered, "Don't neglect him. After all, he is the crown prince of a country. Even if he is a hostage, don't neglect him.
Tomorrow you can march into Han, but you don't have to put in a big effort, just show your attitude. Han blocked Qin's eastward advance and will surely be the first to perish. Ultimately, it's just cannon fodder in the eyes of other nations.
If you see that the time is not right, just come back directly. Even if all the soldiers you brought with you are killed there, you are not allowed to die there.
Do you understand?
Wei Cheng's eyes welled up with tears as he heard this. After all, this was a sign of trust, so he immediately kowtowed and expressed his loyalty: "I will definitely live up to the king's high expectations!"
"Oh, get up now." King Jingmin of Wei laughed. "Go down and rest for a while. We have to travel again tomorrow, so rest up today."
