The First Martyrs' Section

  On this day, because he failed to defeat Li Si, Fu Su was depressed in his heart, so he secretly sneaked out of the palace again to see Xia Er. After playing for a while, he followed his elder brother Wang Bao and his father-in-law Wang Jian to learn practical military tactics on the battlefield, until it was almost evening before reluctantly returning to the palace!

  Who would have thought that as soon as they returned to the Lingyan Pavilion, they saw Fu rushing around in the hall like a donkey pulling a millstone, and Fu Su was shocked and hastily asked: "Fu, what's wrong? Why are you so anxious?" When Fu saw Fu Su return, he was overjoyed and said: "Young Master, you've finally returned! Something has happened. Just now, Queen Wang sent someone to report that Mr. Han Fei left a note and escaped from the government hostel!"

  "Ah!" Fu Su's mouth suddenly opened into a large 'O' shape, "Why, Mr. Han Fei was fine, why did he run away?" Fu Ke smiled wryly and said: "I don't know, I just received the order from the Queen to tell you, Your Highness!" Fu Su secretly cursed and said: "Hurry up and follow me to see the Queen Mother!" "Yes!"

  Arriving outside the South Study, Fu Su quietly inquired of a palace attendant and learned that the King was not in the South Study but rather discussing matters with the Queen Mother at the Xianyang Palace. Only then did he feel at ease to request an audience with the Queen.

  Fu Su immediately knelt down and said, "Your son Fu Su pays his respects to the Queen!" The Queen, with a growing belly, frowned slightly and said, "Get up. Mr. Han Fei has escaped, you know that, right?" Fu Su hastily replied, "Yes, but I really can't figure out why Han Fei would want to escape!"

  The queen smiled wryly and said, "It's because we were too careless. Mr. is a man of strong will, seeing that the king has pardoned Li Si, if he wants to stay in Qin State, it would be inevitable for him to serve together with such sycophantic officials as Li Si, which is something that the straightforward Mr. cannot tolerate! Perhaps this was what made Mr. decide to leave Qin State!"

  Fu Su heard this and suddenly felt a burst of golden stars in front of his eyes, and secretly cursed in his heart: That Han Fei is indeed a bookworm with a straightforward temperament, who handles everything directly and clearly, with a clear distinction between love and hate. If it's because he hates Li Si, it's possible that he might leave without warning or escape quietly. This bookworm is capable of anything!

  But now, even if Fusu were a hundred times smarter, he would still be at a loss for what to do. After thinking for half a day, Fusu could only sigh and say: "Your Majesty, now that things have come to this point, how does the king plan to handle this matter?" The queen's face was gloomy, with a hint of sadness, saying: "When His Majesty saw Han Fei escape, he was furious. He has always been proud, and Han Fei's actions made him unbearable. Therefore, he immediately issued a warrant for his arrest. With the strictness of Qin law, it is indeed difficult for Mr. Han to escape from Qin! Moreover, His Majesty thought that he had already punished Li Si for Han Fei, so Han Fei should be grateful and stay in Qin to serve the great Qin. Now that Han Fei has escaped, His Majesty believes that Han Fei is indeed loyal to the state of Han and does not want to serve Qin! If Mr. Han is caught and brought back this time, I'm afraid it will be a disaster!"

  Fu Su fainted, and in her heart, she scolded Han Fei, thinking that he was indeed a "bookworm with no practical use", only knowing how to follow his own temper, but not knowing how to adapt to the situation. Now, what was originally an easy problem to solve had been messed up to this point, and when they were caught and brought back, she feared that even if they didn't die, they would be skinned alive.

  Fu Su let out a bitter laugh and said: "Heavenly mistakes can still be forgiven, but self-made mistakes cannot be forgiven. Sir, you are really too muddled!"

  The queen also let out a long sigh.

  The Qin's capture system was indeed efficient and swift, and in just three days, the keen-scented pursuit soldiers discovered Han Fei's trail in the Wei River area! According to Qin law: ordinary civilians were not allowed to leave their own land. Therefore, inns and post stations were only open to envoys, officials, and officials. Ordinary people who went would be reported to the authorities. When Shang Yang fled that year, it was because his laws were too strict, and he was eventually caught on the road to Shangdi.

  Han Fei was the same, because he did not return to China normally, so there was no passport issued by the Qin government, and any hotel or post station could not be opened to Han Fei. As soon as Han Fei appeared, due to his unclear identity, he would be reported to the authorities and arrested. Therefore, Han Fei, who knew this reason, could only pass through remote villages and towns, and did not dare to stay in hotels or inns. But even so, Han Fei and his entourage, a group of people with foreign accents and mysterious movements, were soon reported to the authorities by the highly vigilant Qin citizens.

  As a result, the Qin army, who had just roughly inquired about Huan's whereabouts, immediately surrounded and captured him, finally catching up with Huan's carriage outside Tongguan.

  Looking at the dust flying everywhere behind him, and hearing the faint sound of shouting, Han Fei knew that he could no longer escape. The straightforward him did not want to suffer another blow to his dignity, and immediately decided to die with honor.

  Han Fei ordered the carriage to stop and said to the people, "They want to capture me, you won't have any trouble. Don't worry. After I die, if the King of Qin can return my ashes to you, take them back to our hometown for burial. If not, go back and tell my wife and parents that Han Fei will meet them again in the next life!" At this time, the extremely calm Han Fei did not stutter at all.

  Looking at the approaching Qin scouts, Han Fei burst out laughing and took out the poison he had not had time to retrieve when he was imprisoned in a hurry - Crane's Crest Red (this time it's for real!). The clever Han Fei had long known that Qin was a country of tigers and wolves, with strict laws and severe punishments. To avoid being at a disadvantage or suffering humiliation when coming to Qin, he had prepared the poison for self-destruction in advance, which was now proving useful.

  Han Fei scattered his hair, covering his face, and laughed loudly as he poured the entire small bottle of 'Crane's Red' into his mouth. Amidst the severe heartache, Han Fei let out a long sigh: "In my lifetime, I couldn't serve the country above or bring peace to the people below; I have no face to meet the ancestors of Great Korea, so I can only cover my face and die! Heaven! If you pity Han Fei's life for the people, please let Han Fei's body die but his teachings live on!"

  "Alas..." Han Fei spat out a mouthful of blood, and with a loud thud, fell onto the carriage, his last words: "I wanted to save the people, but heaven did not grant me more years. Alas, what can be done?!" With that, he took his last breath and departed forever.

  When the great Qin detectives finally caught up, what they captured was only Han Fei's cold corpse. The detectives had no choice but to report back to Ting Wei Feng Jie while taking Han Fei's head and the traveler back to Xianyang!

  "Bang——" The news came, and the Qin king who was reading a book with indignation and discontent dropped his bamboo slips. "Dang——" The unhappy queen accidentally smashed her teacup! "Brush——" Fu Su, who was attending to the king and queen, shed tears of sorrow.

  King Qin's face turned iron-green as he sent someone to capture Han Fei, and he couldn't help but feel regret: "Sir, why didn't you want to serve the great Qin, and instead took this desperate path?" Poor King Qin still hasn't woken up from the fact that he let Li Si harm Han Fei so greatly.

  The queen, with tears streaming down her face, also sighed: "Heaven is jealous of outstanding talents, heaven does not give long life, what a pity that the master's lifelong extraordinary talent has been cut off!"

  Fu Su said with tears streaming down his face: "What a pity for this generation of scholars! Intelligent Mr., foolish Mr.! Fu Su was indeed a bit resentful, feeling that he had wasted all the effort he had put in to save him.

  Looking at the Qin royal family's abnormal behavior, the Minister of Justice Feng Jie cautiously said: "Your Majesty, how will Han Fei's funeral be handled? Will he be buried with honors and notified to the state of Han?"

  The queen looked at the King of Qin, obviously hoping that he would agree to this request. However, Ying Zheng thought for a moment and then flatly refused: "No, only a thin coffin, no thick burial, Mr. Han's body must be sent back to Korea!"

  Feng Jie was somewhat baffled by Zhang Wuji's words: "I don't quite understand what Your Majesty means!"

  The King of Qin said coldly: "Because Han Fei was a spy from the state of Han, after being discovered by our great Qin, he took his own life in fear of punishment!"

  The queen was shocked and said: "King Wang Mingzhi is a wise man, he knows that Han Gong is not guilty, why does he still want to wrong him?"

  The King of Qin said calmly: "Yes, I know. But the people don't know. If I didn't do this, how could I have had the chance to attack the State of Han?"

  The queen was about to say more, but the King of Qin waved his hand and said: "Don't say any more! Mr. Han Fei also wants to do something for the unification of the world, and I am doing this to fulfill his wish! Let's decide on this!"

  "Yes, Your Majesty!" Feng Jie acknowledged the order.

  Fusu was also watching from the side with a cold eye, wanting to become a qualified emperor, Fusu still had a lot to learn, although there were many uncomfortable experiences!

  The next day, King Zheng of Qin ordered a simple coffin and shroud for Han Fei, and sent an envoy to send him back to the capital of Korea, Xinzheng. He accused the king of Korea of being unfriendly and sending Han Fei to Qin as a spy. After investigation, Han Fei fled in fear of punishment and eventually took his own life, which was the most powerful evidence.

  After several months, King An of Han surrendered under the immense pressure of the approaching Qin army and voluntarily became a vassal. King Zheng of Qin conquered the State of Han without bloodshed and established the Yingchuan Commandery to prepare for the campaigns against Zhao and Chu.
