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

Chapter 146 Ji Wuye, Righteous and Awe-inspiring

Inside the pavilion, Nongyu continued playing the zither, not stopping despite Ji Wuye's arrival.

Zhen Gang had already stepped back, and Ying Jing's deep gaze swept over the two figures in front of him, his eyes calm.

Ji Wuye remained the same as ever, wearing a bright red cloak, with a rugged face, exuding the wild aura of a fierce general.

It must be admitted that Ji Wuye is actually quite capable.

Even though he indulged in power and debauchery for many years, he was still the strongest general in Korea in the last century.

However, compared to the others, the woman in white who was standing silently beside Ji Wuye was clearly more eye-catching.

Her features were delicate, though not particularly stunning, but her skin was exceptionally fair, like the unmelted snow on a distant mountain.

Her snow-white neck and collarbone, especially her delicate little mouth with its bright red lips, were exceptionally attractive.

The white, form-fitting outfit accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Her long, black hair flowed like willow catkins, and a delicate little parrot wood carving adorned her snow-white neck. The carving was extremely fine and lifelike.

She doesn't look like an assassin at all; she looks more like a pretty girl next door.

"General Ji is a pillar of the state and is always busy. It is quite a rare guest that he has come to my inn today,"

Ying Jing wore a warm and gentle smile.

"Haha, I've come here today specifically to apologize."

Ji Wuye sensed the faint dissatisfaction in Ying Jing's words, but pretended not to notice and laughed heartily.

"The goods were robbed in South Korea, which was my mistake. Last time, I had Tiger send 100,000 gold coins as an apology, but after thinking it over, I still feel it's not enough."

As Ji Wuye spoke, a suggestive smile even appeared on his face.

"This is the ace assassin among my hundred birds. Although she is not as good as the top-ranked assassins of the Luo Net, she is still quite beautiful and obedient enough."

"Yingge, from now on you belong to Changxin-jun."

The woman in the white outfit didn't try to hide anything, adopting a meek and submissive demeanor: "Yes."

Is it really that direct? Ying Jing's eyes flickered slightly.

Ji Wuye was a smart man; knowing that Yingge's identity couldn't be hidden from Luo Wang, he simply revealed it directly.

Nongyu's zither music had abruptly stopped.

An invisible flame of rage seemed to rise in Yan Lingji's alluring eyes.

If the compensation isn't enough, shouldn't we add some other valuables? Who gives away women like that?!

Ji Wuye paid no attention to the changes in Nongyu and Yanlingji's expressions.

What are mere women compared to powerful figures like him and Lord Changxin?

"Lord Changxin is good in every way, except that he is too lenient with women. If it were a woman as ill-mannered as me, I would definitely drag her out and feed her to the dogs."

Ji Wuye secretly grumbled to himself.

Ying Jing glanced at Ying Ge, then at Ji Wuye, and smiled broadly: "Such a generous gift, General Ji is truly thoughtful."

"I accept this gift, but General Ji came to see me despite King Han's suspicions. I suppose it wasn't just to give this gift."

Ying Jing had no reason not to accept the generous gift from Ji Wuye.

With Parrot Song in hand, neither Black Crow nor White Phoenix can escape, and it's not impossible for them to even control all the birds.

The Hundred Birds Organization is certainly not as good as the Net, but incorporating it into the Net can fill a gap in the Net's strength in Korea.

Even though Ying Jing has planted many hidden agents over the years, the Luo Wang organization's strength in Korea is still relatively weak.

Ji Wuye laughed loudly again: "Hahaha, Lord Changxin is quick-witted and outspoken, this general likes him!"

He smiled, but only glanced at Yan Lingji and Nongyu before speaking further.

Ying Jing frowned, but didn't say anything about absolute trust; he simply waved his hand casually.

Yan Lingji immediately understood: "Sister Nongyu, I bought some new clothes. Come and help me take a look. If they fit, you can pick out a few..."

Having followed Zi Nu for many years, Nong Yu naturally possesses keen insight.

Even though Yan Lingji had always been somewhat hostile towards her appearance, she didn't offend her at this moment, and simply let Yan Lingji pull her wrist and walk away together.

The parrot that Ji Wuye brought was also very sensible and quietly withdrew.

"General Ji, now, if you have anything to say, you can speak frankly."

Ying Jing had already stood up.

Ji Wuye is a smart man; there's no need for him to hide anything.

With one hand behind his back, he stood ramrod straight, exuding an aura of profound composure.

Ji Wuye remained unmoved despite Ying Jing's imposing aura. However, his expression did change slightly.

He could feel the immense, invisible pressure!

This kind of pressure from his status and aura was something Ji Wuye had never seen from Han Wang An before.

Compared to King Han An, Lord Changxin before him seemed more like a king.

His thoughts are deep and unfathomable.

This further solidified Ji Wuye's decision!

"I can do my utmost to facilitate Lord Changxin's purpose in coming to Han and cede Nanyang."

Knowing Ying Jing's personality, Ji Wuye was too lazy to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Ying Jing's expression hardened slightly: "The General should know the significance of Nanyang to the State of Han."

South Korea has been increasingly weakened in recent years; it was already the weakest of all the countries and was barely clinging to life.

If South Korea loses Nanyang, it will no longer be qualified to be mentioned alongside the other six countries, and even Xinzheng may be in jeopardy.

Ji Wuye stopped faking a smile; his expression was serious, and his voice was deep.

"Therefore, this general needs an edict from the King of Qin, and also a promise from Lord Changxin."

Ying Jing smiled brightly, like a flower blooming in spring: "General, do you wish to pledge allegiance to the Qin state?"

Ji Wuye spoke without the slightest embarrassment: "This general is honored by the King's trust in appointing me as the Grand General, and I will naturally protect my country and fight bravely on the battlefield."

"But if things cannot be changed, I am unwilling to let my soldiers die in vain, nor do I want the people of Korea to suffer the ravages of war."

That sounds quite righteous!

Why does it sound so strange?

To hear Ji Wuye speak of surrender with such conviction and righteous indignation, Ying Jing suddenly felt he needed to re-evaluate Ji Wuye.

"Ha ha……"

Ying Jing could only chuckle.

Ji Wuye's intention was clearly to use the land of Nanyang to exchange for a protective talisman!

If the two countries were at war, he would go to the battlefield and only surrender if he could not win.

However, the Qin army's commander-in-chief might not accept it at that time, since it would be a military achievement.

However, with the edict from the King of Qin and the promise from Lord Changxin, Ji Wuye would have nothing to worry about.

As long as his troops don't suffer serious losses, even if he can't win, he can still transform himself from a general of Han to a general of Qin.

Ying Jing couldn't help but want to applaud Ji Wuye; he had never seen such a shameless person.
