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

Chapter 163 Ji Wuye: Are they all so magnanimous?

The land of Namyang is an important grain-producing area in Korea, and it also produces many other resources.

Moreover, the geographical location of this place is extremely important; it is a military stronghold, and the troops stationed here effectively defend against invasions from neighboring countries.

This place is also a transportation hub in South Korea, connecting all parts of the country. The allocation of supplies and military operations cannot be separated from this place.

Both Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei were well aware of the importance of Nanyang to the State of Han.

But for their own reasons, they ultimately made this decision.

Unscrupulous and defiant, they joined forces to force King Han An to cede Nanyang to the Qin state.

In the past, Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei had both been quite restrained.

At least outwardly, they will show respect to Han Wang An and will be mindful of the rules.

But that's only because they also want to preserve this broken South Korea.

Only with South Korea's existence can Nightfall maintain its interests and preserve its power.

Ji Wuye gave Ying Jing the parrot song for this reason, hoping to play both sides, maintain his position as the Grand General of Han, and also leave himself a way out.

But Ji Wuye never expected that Bai Yifei and Madam Mingzhu would suddenly encounter such a big problem.

He disregarded everything else and wanted nothing more than for Lady Mingzhu to marry Lord Changxin.

Why not be a proper Lady of Korea and instead aspire to be Lady of Jangshin-gun?

"That damned Bai Yifei, and that stupid woman Mingzhu, have they both been poisoned by Lord Changxin?"

Ji Wuye recalled their conversation at the post station that day, and he still felt a burning hatred in his teeth.

From his perspective, he was absolutely unwilling to make such a decision; the promises he made to Ying Jing were nothing more than empty promises.

However, Bai Yifei and Lady Mingzhu completely sided with Lord Changxin, which was tantamount to handing Han over to Qin, leaving Ji Wuye with no other choice.

Although Ji Wuye is a general, with Bai Yifei already supporting Lord Changxin, his value to the Qin state has been greatly reduced, and it is no longer possible for him to wait for a better price.

"Tiger, tell me, did Lord Changxin secretly give Bai Yifei and Lady Mingzhu enormous benefits?"

Ji Wuye felt very aggrieved. Bai Yifei's betrayal was something he had never expected and it completely affected his interests.

Jade Tiger was also puzzled: "General, this... given the Marquis's status, Lord Changxin probably can't offer him any benefits that would make him abandon Han."

To be granted a title and appointed prime minister is the aspiration of countless people.

But Bai Yifei already held the rank of Marquis in South Korea, and possessed real power, commanding 100,000 White Armor Army soldiers.

Jade Tiger couldn't imagine what kind of promises or benefits Changxin Jun could offer to make Bai Yifei so reckless.

"Could it be that they really intend to do to Lord Changxin what they did to the King of Han?"

Ji Wuye rubbed his head, feeling like he was starting to grow a brain.

Jade Tiger's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded in agreement.

"The General's wisdom is boundless; his words are truly reasonable!"

Ji Wuye couldn't help but glance at the jade tiger, and then smashed the wine cup in his hand to the ground.

"Tiger, I didn't summon you here to listen to your flattery!"

He had considered this possibility, but only for a brief moment.

He himself doesn't believe it!

Lord Changxin was not like King Han. He had many talented and extraordinary people around him, and he was surrounded by experts and beauties.

No matter which approach you take, it won't affect Changxin Jun.

The methods used to deal with the King of Han could not possibly be applied to him!

"General, this plan may seem absurd at first glance, but think about it carefully. Given the Marquis's status and position, what else in this world could make him so willing to go to such lengths?"

"Although Lord Changxin has many talented people around him, he is also a womanizer. With the abilities of the Tide Demoness, even if she doesn't dare to completely control him, she might still be able to exert influence on Lord Changxin!"

The more Jade Tiger talked, the more convinced he became of himself.

His eyes widened instantly, as if they were shining, and he excitedly stood up from his chair.

But Ji Wuye was still somewhat hesitant: "Lord Changxin is not the King of Qin. Such a great risk may not bring much benefit. How could Marquis Xueyi be so unwise?"

The jade tiger became even more excited at this point.

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him!

"General, you are mistaken. Although Lord Changxin is not the King of Qin, his status is quite extraordinary!"

The jade tiger's eyes seemed to be shining brightly!

"Lord Changxin is the younger brother of the King of Qin, and his position in Qin is extremely special. He has the right to self-governance in his fiefdom, making him no different from the king of a small state!"

"I observe that Lord Changxin's fiefdom is thriving and prosperous, enough to accumulate ample wealth. Lord Changxin's reputation among the seven kingdoms has always been excellent. The only thing he lacks is an army and generals, which you, my lord, can fill!"

"If one day something happens to the King of Qin... then Lord Changxin's chances will be extremely high!"

Jade Tiger paced back and forth in the hall of the General's Mansion, talking incessantly.

His speech became faster and faster, and by the end, his eyes were filled with excitement.

Among the merchants of the seven kingdoms, who doesn't hope to make a groundbreaking investment like Lü Buwei, rise to the top in one step, and be ennobled and appointed as prime minister?

And now, it seems that such an opportunity has been presented to him.

Lü Buwei was a merchant, and so was Fei Cuihu.

If Lü Buwei could do it, why couldn't he, the Jade Tiger?

He could even do better than Lü Buwei!

Ji Wuye was successfully persuaded by the Emerald Tiger.

"I knew it! How could Bai Yifei and Chao Nu Yao be willing to give up such power and spare no effort to help Changxin Jun!"

"I never imagined they had such grand ambitions!"

Ji Wuye gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and crushed another wine pot in one fell swoop.

He was really screwed over by those two guys!

But Jade Tiger continued, "With the strength of the Qin state and the help of the Marquis, destroying Han is a piece of cake. Even if we destroy a few more states, it is not impossible to unify the world!"

"If Lord Hou and the Tide Demoness can really influence Lord Changxin, then what does it matter if they give up everything in Korea? They can make the world shrouded in darkness."

"Snapped!"

Ji Wuye could no longer contain himself and slammed his hand hard on the table in front of him, smashing it to pieces.

Ji Wuye's ambition was suddenly and completely ignited.

While he was still wandering around South Korea thinking about how to maintain his power, Lady Mingzhu and Bai Yifei had already set their sights on the Qin state and even the whole world.

Their vision is so grand, it makes me, the general, look so dull!

"I'm going to find them right now!"

This is such a great thing, I have to include him!
