Chengdu.

The palace is very quiet. If it weren't for the sound of the palace servants walking around, it would even make people think that there was no one living here.

The Queen Mother of Qin, Mi, sat on the upper head of the palace, looking at the Qin Prime Minister Bang Wei Ran, who was kneeling on the ground expressionlessly.

"After all, I'll keep it... Just keep it. As for how to ask for guilt, it's the king's business, and the old woman will not join in. Before that, you can just keep the gates of Shu, which can be considered atonement. Get up."

Wei Ran responded, got up and sat in his seat.

The queen mother asked, "Is there no news from Wancheng yet?"

During the decisive battle, the King of Qin had already informed Chengdu. Calculate the time, and now it should be time for the final result to be passed back.

Wei Ran shook his head and said, "There is no news yet."

The empress dowager was no longer young and had more wrinkles on her temples, and she said: "Now the Qin Dynasty is in trouble with internal and external troubles, but the old woman heard that there were many public clans in the city bullying men and women in the name of marrying concubines. Is this a matter?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Wei Ran's face and said, "Empress Dowager, these people are all the clans of the Qin Dynasty, and the king are also blood relatives within the five squads--"

The Empress Dowager interrupted Wei Ran coldly: "What a bullshit blood relative? Is Young Master Zhuang not a blood relative with the king? He did not show any mercy when he wanted to kill us! Since you are a prime minister, then take the responsibility you should bear to the old woman, kill and arrest the people, and give the Chinese people an explanation. Since Shangjun, the Great Qin has put the law first. If the people of the Great Qin do not even rely on the law, then the Great Qin will really die!"

The ruthless and majestic Queen Mother who had been regent for several years was back.

Wei Ran continued to respectfully answer.

The two of them talked for a while and the business was finished.

After all, the two were born to the same mother. After talking about business, they were still quite close to each other in private and could also talk about some topics that others would not talk about.

The Empress Dowager said slowly: "Tell the truth to the old woman, can this Shu land still be kept?"

Wei Ran looked solemn and said, "It depends on the battle situation in Wancheng. If Wancheng wins, there is still a chance, if Wancheng is--"

The Empress Dowager interrupted Wei Ran again: "The old woman understands, go and do your business."

Wei Ran did not say anything anymore, stood up and bowed to the Empress Dowager to say goodbye.

When he walked to the palace gate, a temple close to the empress dowager suddenly rushed into the hall: "Empress dowager, Wancheng, there is news from Wancheng!"

Wei Ran instantly stopped.

The Queen Mother's breathing was obviously a little rapid, so she took the battle report from the temple's people and opened it.

As she looked at the queen mother's face turned pale and her whole body was shaking, and she seemed to have lost the strength to sit.

Wei Ran knew something was wrong, so he quickly walked to the empress dowager, not caring about any etiquette, and asked in a deep voice: "Empress Dowager, what happened to the war in Wancheng?"

The Queen Mother raised her head, tears were already rising in her eyes.

"Ji'er, my Ji'er--"

A shrill cry came from afar, and it was very far away in the sultry Chengdu city.

Yangdi.

King Han sat quietly in the hall with a quiet face.

The sound of shouts and other wars came from afar in the air, but none of this had any impact on the King of Korea.

He behaved elegantly and slowly drank the sour plum soup that had been iced in front of him.

Although it was summer, since the great nobles in this era had the good habit of digging ice cellars, the iced sour plum soup was still quite delicious.

The only thing that made King Han feel a little unhappy was that he had already drunk a lot of iced sour plum soup, but he felt that the flames in his heart showed no sign of falling, but were slowly spreading, like a volcano that was about to erupt.

Suddenly, King Han roared: "Where are all dead?"

A temple man immediately appeared at the door of the palace, ran over and knelt on the ground: "I wonder what the king has to give?"

King Han reached out and pointed to the soup bowl in front of him and said coldly: "Didn't you finish drinking all the sour plum soup in my heart? Let's get out and get another serving!"

The temple man was busy, and he was about to hold up the soup bowl in front of King Han, but he was suddenly slapped by King Han. He was immediately dizzy, and then he took a few steps back and sat on the ground.

The temple people were frightened. After they came to their senses, their first reaction was to kneel down and kowtow.

King Han looked at the temple man in front of him, and his eyes flashed with cold light, like a wolve that could burst out at any time.

After a moment, the cold light in the eyes of King Han gradually disappeared.

He stood up and kicked the temple man who had already kowtowed and bleeding, and said coldly: "Why are you still standing there? Let's get the sour plum soup! Slow down, I will take your dog's life!"

The temple people were as if they were granted a general amnesty. They stood up and picked up the soup bowl and left in a row.

King Han squinted his eyes and sat in the hall quietly in a state of consciousness.

He could feel that he seemed to have begun to lose control.

This is out of control because of the news I just received this morning.

"King of Qin, Bai Qi - they are all a bunch of useless things! They didn't win, they didn't win - hey!"

The King of Han suddenly gritted his teeth, looked solemn, and suddenly sneered. It seemed that several different personalities were switching between him.

This is because he is unwilling to admit that he is already desperate.

Chu State, Shouchun.

"Defeated, Jingyang Lingyin was defeated?"

When he heard this, the blood on Qu Dang's face at the Shangzhu State of Chu suddenly faded away, and several important officials of Chu State around Qu Dang were also disdainful and were speechless.

What Jingyang's failure meant was naturally clear to everyone present.

There was no words in the lobby.

After a long time, Qu Dang forced himself to make a strong smile and showed an extremely reluctant smile: "Everyone, the country is in a difficult situation now - Alas, I don't want to say anything about the scene anymore. Where can I go, please think about it when I go home."

Several ministers stood up silently and quickly left the chamber.

Qu Dang took a deep breath, stared at the messenger Jingyang who came to report the news, and slowly said, "What worse news can be said together now."

The envoy bowed and said, "When returning to Shangzhu Kingdom, King Zhao has personally led a 100,000 army to advance eastward. The target is Shouchun. My king asked Shangzhu Kingdom to prepare early. He will go to Shouchun to meet with Shangzhu Kingdom in a few days."

Even though Qu Dang was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then sighed softly.

"The people of Zhao - they came so quickly."

It is said to be prepared, but now the situation is so corrupt, how can Qu Dang make any preparations?
