Chapter 512 Choice

Jincheng.

The rain gurgled and hit the eaves, making a crackling sound. The heavy rain made the men and horses tired, and the city seemed very quiet inside and outside. Only the soldiers inside and outside the palace guarded the outside, like sculptures, always motionless.

Li Ji was wearing skimpy clothes, her long black hair was spread around her waist, and she was arranging her makeup at the dressing table.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the palace, and it was as warm as spring. Zhao Shuang was lying on the bed, still taking a nap.

After a moment of joy, Li Ji turned back and looked at Zhao Shuang, with a sweet smile on her face.

There was a thunder outside the palace, and Zhao Shuang woke up from his dream, sat up and looked outside the palace.

At this time, Li Ji tidied up, put on her clothes, and sat next to Zhao Shuang, but listened to Zhao Shuang's words.

"Looking at the rain, the crops should grow well."

Nowadays, Beidi and Longxi, under the guard of the Qin army, are constantly opening up wasteland and developing land. Especially in Zhao Shuang's fiefdom, it is the top priority.

Among them, the most important thing is to open canals to divert water and irrigate farmland. Over the years, while Qin Mo's power has grown stronger, he has also continued to move westward and joined Zhao Shuang's territory development.

But now, the number of Mohist disciples in the western border of Qin State is no less than that in Guancheng.

Although it is peaceful here, the situation in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong is different.

After losing Nanyang, South Korea was actually meat on the chopping block of the Qin army. Not long ago, the Qin army came out of the pass, and Guandong was shocked.

South Korea is the weakest country among the six countries, but it is also an important country located at the hub of the world.

Once Korea is destroyed, neither Wei nor Chu will be able to rest in peace, and the world will be shaken.

"Bai Feng found traces of quicksand in Korea. It seems that Wei Zhuang is in Korea."

Li Ji's voice rang in Zhao Shuang's ears, but the other party didn't seem to care and waved his hand gently.

"South Korea is the hub of the world, and all forces gather together. The situation is in chaos at this time, so let the disciples of the Mohist family withdraw for the time being! In addition, at this time, the chaos in the Six Kingdoms of Guandong will begin. You go back to the government city and take charge of the government city. Affairs. Remember to instruct Mohist disciples everywhere to stay at home and stay away from home, and not to get involved in the disputes of the Seven Kingdoms and the grievances of the rivers and lakes."

Li Ji looked at Zhao Shuang with a trace of nostalgia on her face. But in the end, Li Ji nodded.

"I see."

The huge Xinzheng City was now besieged by the Qin Army.

Different from the usual blooming flowers, at this time, no matter in the streets or alleys, or in the inner courtyard of the palace, everyone seemed to be panicked.

But there is one person who is an exception. Princess Honglian of South Korea seems to be an outsider. Ever since she saw Wei Zhuang that day, she had always been worried about him. It seemed that as long as that man appeared again, everything would become unimportant.

But in fact, the man never appeared again.

After that, military reports from the front came one by one, but they were all news about the Qin army's attack on the city. After surrendering Nanyang, the Qin army did not stop. Instead, they attacked Xinzheng with all their strength.

"Princess, King Han invites you to come over."

Guren responded softly and stood up. She seemed a little distracted all day long, so she didn't notice it for a while. However, when she followed the palace maid for a while, she discovered something was wrong.

"This is not the direction to the father's palace, who are you!"

The originally docile palace maid suddenly turned around, the red nails on her hands extending like monster claws.

"Princess Honglian, come with me!"

The palace maid rushed towards Hong Lian, but she turned around and avoided her. This assassin obviously did not expect that the Korean princess hidden deep in the palace would have such skills. Even if he tried his best, he no longer had to worry about whether he would hurt Honglian.

Every move is full of ruthlessness.

However, even so, Honglian was still able to face this assassin with ease.

"You, a little thief, still want to capture this princess."

The appearance of this assassin swept away Honglian's difficulties for many days. Just when she was feeling proud, the assassin leaned over and waved his hand.

The air was filled with white dust. After inhaling it, Honglian felt dizzy.

After the assassin succeeded, a sinister smile appeared on his face and he slowly walked towards Honglian.

"The Qin army is about to break the city. Princess, you'd better come with me!"

"you you……"

Honglian's body was swaying, and her vision gradually became dim, but just when she was about to fall, she heard a familiar sword roar.

When Honglian woke up, she was not in the palace, but outside Xinzheng City.

The man with long white hair, holding a sword in both hands, looked at the city in the distance, as if a king was lording over his city.

But that city was now enveloped in flames.

The complicated situation left Honglian at a loss as to what to say, but Wei Zhuang finally spoke.

"Although your skills are not weaker than the Snare assassin who attacked you, your experience in the world is too little."

The familiar voice was full of teasing, and as usual, the man in front of him was still so aloof.

"What happened to Xinzheng?"

"South Korea is dead!"

Wei Zhuang's soft words made Hong Lian stunned and murmured.

"Why is this happening?"

"The strong survive and the weak die. This has always been the case in this world. Just like when the Zheng Kingdom was destroyed by South Korea, it was the same."

Wei Zhuang answered, but he obviously did not expect that what Hong Lian wanted to ask was not what he was thinking at the moment.

"Since you don't want to protect South Korea, why did you come back?"

Honglian really hoped to get the answer she wanted from Wei Zhuang, but that was not the case.

"A few years ago, when I was the general of South Korea, I proposed a strategy. If it was successful, South Korea would not be like this today. I never understood why he rejected me in the first place? So in the past few years, , I have been watching in secret. What will he do when Korea is destroyed?"

"Is he Zhao Shuang?"

"It seems you are not stupid."

Honglian was obviously extremely disappointed with Wei Zhuang's answer. Honglian couldn't accept it. At this time, in Wei Zhuang's heart, a man was more important than her.

"So did you get the answer?"

"Maybe soon."

Wei Zhuang said and looked at Honglian.

"You have two choices now. Either remain anonymous, or..."

"I choose two."

Without hesitation, Guren said.

Wei Zhuang was a little surprised and looked at Honglian.

"This is a difficult road. If I were you, I would choose the former one. Quicksand will help you find your brother. With his protection, you will live your life peacefully."

Honglian stood up and looked at Wei Zhuang in the reflection of the karma fire, with extremely firm eyes.

"Didn't you just say that the strong will survive and the weak will die. This is my choice."
