Chapter 98: Taking Advantage of the Situation (2)
"For the sake of our Zhou Kingdom's reputation, we must not fall behind them again."
Xue Han knew that the so-called "they" referred to the State of Zhao, especially Zhao Ziheng. Speaking of Zhao Ziheng, Xue Han suddenly thought of the relationship between him and Yin Yin. They seemed to have an unusual relationship, and Zhou Cheng might know something. However, from Xue Han's position, he could not ask too much and could only speculate. This time Yin Yin embarked on the journey, Xue Han knew that she was going to find Zhao Ziheng, but Xue Han was of course not sure about the reason. Since Zhou Cheng had acquiesced, how could he, an outsider, ask too much?
Of course, Xue Han was very supportive of Zhou Cheng's statement. After a long silence, Xue Han broke the silence first: "What does the emperor think of the King of Zhao's injury this time?"
"...I can only say that the enemy is not ordinary."
Although Zhou Cheng didn't understand why Xue Han asked this, he still answered.
"Yes, being able to successfully assassinate that person is already extraordinary."
"What do you want to say?"
Zhou Cheng quickly realized something and asked seriously. He didn't think Xue Han was the kind of person who would casually bring up the topic again. He saw something strange in Xue Han's tone and expression.
"No matter what, King Zhao will never die as long as he is here ."
Zhou Cheng certainly knew that the so-called 'he' referred to Wang Ye, but he just didn't understand why Xue Han mentioned this.
"This is just my bold guess. Judging from the time, even if he is really injured, I don't think King Zhao is still on the verge of death."
"You mean he has recovered? Wang Ye cured him?"
Xue Han didn't say anything, but he agreed. He didn't dare to say that he understood Zhao Ziheng, but although he didn't know Wang Ye completely, he still knew him very well.
"If that's the case, how did he evade our spies? And for what purpose?"
Zhou Cheng felt like he was facing another difficult problem. Obviously, he had full confidence in the people he sent to monitor Zhao Ziheng. Of course, it was not that he ignored Zhao Ziheng's ability. Also, Wang Ye's existence was an uncertain factor for him, so he could not know Wang Ye as well as Xue Han.
"There must be some reason. I don't think it's difficult to avoid the attention of those people sent by the emperor."
Just as Zhou Cheng was not familiar with Wang Ye, Xue Han did not understand Zhao Ziheng. The only thing that Zhou Cheng was inferior to Xue Han was probably his understanding of Wang Ye, so much so that when Xue Han overturned his confidence, he was a little dumbfounded.
"In this case, it can be explained why the King of Zhao led the army in person. First of all, they knew something in advance, so the King of Zhao had to lead the army in person. After the battle, they confirmed or discovered something new, which led to the assassination."
Xue Han saw Zhou Cheng's suspicion of Wang Ye, but did not explain anything. He had said everything he needed to say. As for how much Zhou Cheng could believe or understand, that was up to Zhou Cheng himself, so Xue Han continued to state his guesses. Zhou Cheng certainly knew the reason why Xue Han stated all this. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Although they were not enemies, if they fell behind, he would feel guilty for what he had said before. In other words, this was why Xue Han stated his bold guesses.
"You mean what is the King of Zhao planning? Or does he want to prove something?"
Zhou Cheng drew a conclusion from Xue Han's words.
Xue Han nodded and said: "Of course, it is likely to be more than that."
In Xue Han's heart, he did not focus directly on Zhao Ziheng, because he cared more about Wang Ye. If the enemy was Wang Ye, then he would definitely not underestimate him, and would carefully grasp and think about everything. With his understanding of Wang Ye, he could imagine that Wang Ye's strength was not only what he knew, and he never even thought that he had the possibility of winning; now there is Zhao Ziheng added. Zhao Ziheng is proficient in everything from governing a country to marching and fighting. He can no longer be simply described as a king, he is simply a natural king. Although he does not want to admit it, Xue Han still feels that Zhao Ziheng has more of a kingly style than Zhou Cheng, and is definitely qualified to become the overlord who unifies the world.
"Do you think King Zhao is more kingly than me?"
Zhou Cheng's sudden words startled Xue Han. He looked straight at Zhou Cheng and felt that Zhou Cheng's eyes could see through him and his words touched his heart. Putting aside personal feelings, Zhou Cheng was also a king who could go hand in hand with Zhao Ziheng. However, when it came to matters of the heart, the approaches they took could tell the winner at a glance.
"To be honest, sometimes his existence is really enviable. Not only is he a king himself, but he also has good ministers to assist him. No wonder he is favored by her and cannot be forgotten."
Xue Han was very clear about the meaning of the last words. Putting aside the previous words, does it mean that Zhou Cheng can let it go now? Suddenly, Xue Han subconsciously noticed another meaning in Zhou Cheng's words. Zhao Ziheng and Yin Yin really had an unusual relationship.
"Because of this, he is the only one who is qualified to receive her unforgettable love, right? "
Zhou Cheng's tone was so bitter that Xue Han could feel it clearly. Even if he didn't know it, he could feel the bitterness. Everything in the world often has a corresponding price. Some people may not get what they pursue against their will, while some people can get it easily even if they don't fight for it. Being a king is destined to be more powerless than ordinary people, especially when it comes to feelings. For a king, feelings cannot be forced. You can choose to use power to force it, but you cannot own it because of it. What is yours is yours, and what is not yours will never be yours.
