Chapter 173: A bloody question
Wei Zhuang always gets to the heart of the matter directly.
What to choose? How to choose?
For Han Fei, there was only one choice, which was to do his best to accept this challenge which was full of both crises and opportunities.
As for killing Zhang Liang, let's not talk about whether Han Fei can do it with his current strength. The success rate is low and the cost of failure is extremely high. Even if he succeeds by chance, he will face strong pressure from the seven countries. Now that Zhang Liang has sent out an invitation letter, there are countless people eyeing the batch of medicines and magic weapons. If Han Fei deals with Zhang Liang at this juncture, he will not only have to face the anger of the nobles and schools of thought of the seven countries, but also the revenge of Tianzong and Zhang Liang's forces. These are all things that the fragile Han country cannot bear.
Therefore, Han Fei's choice was already determined.
A sudden change is brewing in Han country, and all forces have a premonition that a storm is coming.
Leaving aside the Han Kingdom, once Zhang Liang's invitation letter was sent out, it caused countless responses within the seven countries.
Nowadays, among the top leaders of the seven countries, it is no longer a secret that Zhang Liang cooperated with the farmers to sell medicines. Many forces have tried to obtain the secret recipe of medicine. However, not long ago, Zhang Liang defeated Xiaoyaozi in the battle of the Taoist Renzong and was announced as the next generation leader by the Taoist Tianzong. Since then, fewer people dared to attack Zhang Liang. After all, not everyone has the courage to challenge one of the ancient schools of thought. In addition, with the strength shown by Zhang Liang, most forces can only look on in fear.
However, for most powerful people, seizure by force is not the only means, and legitimate transactions are still the mainstream.
The various medicinal formulas and magical weapons listed in the invitation letter are precious resources for any noble. Regardless of whether they are urgently needed or not, no one in the forces that receive the invitation letter will choose not to come.
In the Qin State's Xianyang City, there was also an invitation letter on Ying Zheng's desk. However, Zhang Liang did not send invitations to monarchs of various countries. This letter was actually sent to the Meng family.
Seeing the various precious prescriptions and weapons listed on the invitation, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with a fiery light.
Not long ago, Zhang Liang had rejected Qin's invitation, claiming that his alchemy skills had not yet reached the level that could have a significant impact on Qin. But in the blink of an eye, Zhang Liang had already started doing business in the Seven Kingdoms. Whether it was the prescriptions or the weapons on the invitation letter, they were all rare treasures. How could it be said that they were useless to Qin?
Seeing Ying Zheng in silence, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely solemn. Meng Tian, Fusu, and Wang Ben, the three young men in the hall, did not dare to breathe. At this moment, Ying Zheng was like a giant dragon in silence, and no one knew what he would do in the next second.
"How many people in Qin received the invitation?" Ying Zheng asked directly.
"I received one copy, the Meng family and the Wang family each had one copy, and another copy seemed to have been given to Zhao Gao." Fusu answered respectfully.
"Where is Zhao Gao?" Ying Zheng asked in a cold tone.
Soon, Zhao Gao walked into the hall and bowed respectfully.
In the Qin State, Zhao Gao's status was not prominent at that time and he was not considered a big shot, but Zhang Liang actually sent him an invitation, which surprised everyone.
"Yes, I received the invitation." Zhao Gao took out the wrinkled invitation card that had been cut in half by a sharp weapon from his arms.
"What's going on?" Ying Zheng asked coldly.
"The invitation sent to me was once snatched away by someone else, but was later taken back by me." Zhao Gao explained the situation concisely and clearly.
Fusu and the others were all shocked when they heard this. It turned out that they had no idea that Zhao Gao's invitation had been stolen. They only knew that the news that Zhao Gao had the invitation came from the messenger sent by Zhang Liang, but they didn't know there was such an episode.
Instantly, everyone thought of the clear stipulations on the invitation, that only those holding the invitation could enter the Strange Building. Obviously, there must be a lot of people around the world who are interested in this invitation, and the mere thirty-six invitations are simply not enough to be distributed, which will inevitably lead to a series of competitions, and the disputes over the invitations will be endless.
Ying Zheng ignored Zhao Gao and carefully examined the invitation in his hand. After a moment, he said, "Give all three of your invitations to Zhao Gao."
"Yes, sir!" Although the three did not understand the reason, they did not dare to disobey Ying Zheng's orders in the slightest.
"Zhao Gao, mobilize the power of Luowang, deliver these four invitations to the right place, and then snatch other people's invitations. I want this world to become as chaotic as possible!" Ying Zheng gave the order decisively.
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Gao bowed and accepted the order, then left the hall.
Fusu and others couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. There was no doubt that these four invitations would trigger a fight among countless people, and if Luowang tried to snatch other people's invitations, the impact of this fight would be further expanded, and countless conflicts and contradictions would be provoked.
In fact, even Zhang Liang himself did not expect that his invitations would cause such an uproar and make the whole world uneasy.
Of course, there were people fanning the flames behind the scenes, but the huge impact of Zhang Liang's invitation cannot be denied in any case.
If the invitations can lead to countless fights and killings, then the Qiyi Building can be imagined. Many people realized that instead of fighting for the invitations, it would be more direct and effective to directly rob the Qiyi Building, which would make a lot of money.
During the chaotic times of the Seven Kingdoms, hidden forces emerged one after another. Many masters rushed to Xinzheng, including masters from clans. What's more, some forces gathered dozens or even hundreds of masters to act together...
