Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 299 Guo Xiang, what a good person!

Once, when Ying Jing was sent as an envoy to the State of Zhao, he recognized Guo Kai as a great philanthropist like himself and a trustworthy partner.

Subsequent events proved that Ying Jing's judgment was correct.

Yingjing has been operating for many years and has established significant partnerships in various countries.

But among them, Guo Kai is definitely number one in terms of being the most worry-free, the most trustworthy, and the most capable of getting things done.

As long as enough benefits are given each year, Guo Kai will always resolve any issues that arise between Fei Xue Ge and Luo Wang in the first instance.

Even if there are any troubles, as long as you pay a sufficient amount of money, Guo Kai will never be stingy with his help.

However, fortunes change.

This time, it was finally Guo the Great Philanthropist's turn to ask Ying Jing for help.

Wang Jian's army is already at the gates of the city, and everyone in Handan is living in fear!

If Wang Jian chooses to launch a direct attack, the defending troops inside the city may still be able to put up a fight.

But how could a legendary general like Wang Jian, a military genius, make such a rash mistake of greed for merit? He merely dispatched a small force to launch a feigned attack while the main army rested on the spot.

After several days, the defending troops in Handan City, who were originally full of fighting spirit, were now somewhat exhausted and were only holding on by sheer willpower.

Although Guo Kai didn't understand military affairs, he knew how to avoid risks.

Regardless of whether Handan City would be captured or not, Guo Kai had already decided to find a way out.

Lord Changxin, who wielded considerable influence in the Qin state and had a long-standing and positive cooperative relationship with him, was naturally the first choice.

……

Xinzheng, the former palace of the King of Han.

Ying Jing was at his desk, personally replying to Guo the Great Philanthropist.

Lady Mingzhu's soft body naturally pressed against Ying Jing's back: "I've long heard that this Prime Minister Guo is greedy and insatiable, and his eyes light up at the sight of money. I never thought he would be willing to take out 100,000 gold coins to buy his life."

A soft, seductive voice whispered almost in her ear, and the warm, moist breath tickled her earlobe.

"Ten thousand gold coins, hehe..."

Ying Jing did not resist this intimacy; he simply looked at the letter in his hand and shook his head slightly.

One hundred thousand taels of gold is indeed a considerable fortune under normal circumstances.

However, Ji Wuye's cooperation with Hanoi yielded at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins annually, and Guo Kai's profits would have been even greater, not to mention the wealth he had embezzled and accepted bribes over the years.

For Guo Kai's vast wealth, 100,000 gold coins were nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

"If you think you can buy my life with 100,000 gold coins, then Prime Minister Guo's life is far too cheap..."

Ying Jing never felt bad about giving money to Guo Kai because he knew very well that these valuables would eventually be returned; they were just temporarily stored with Guo Kai.

Now that the opportunity to take it back has finally arrived, how can we give it up so easily?

Of course, confiscating property is also an option, but since Wang Jian will enter the city first, it's hard to say how much Ying Jing will be able to confiscate.

Even though the Qin army was disciplined, looting was always unavoidable when they breached a city.

"So what my husband means is..."

Lady Mingzhu's eyes shone brightly. Even she couldn't ignore 100,000 gold coins, but Lord Changxin felt that this was far from enough.

"A million gold coins, and the gates of Handan will be opened again; a net can protect him as he leaves the State of Zhao."

call!

Even Madam Mingzhu couldn't help but breathe a little faster, and her eyes reddened slightly.

Although she never lacked money, a figure like a million gold still stirred one's heart.

But Ying Jing hadn't finished speaking.

"Two million gold coins, and I guarantee he will continue to enjoy wealth and honor in Qin."

With Guo Kai as an inside agent, the gates of Handan could be easily opened.

Ying Zheng will not take any action against those who actively seek refuge with Qin in order to secure their future; in fact, he may even treat them with preferential treatment.

The principle of spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones applies here as well.

As for what will happen after unification, that depends on whether the other side can truly strictly abide by the laws of Qin.

Having helped Ying Jing save money and dealt with Li Mu, now they also need to help Qin open the gates of Handan...

"Guo Xiang is such a good person..."
