Chapter 28 Zulong Releases Yan Dan
When we returned to Taihe Mansion, Fusu's carriage was already waiting at the door!
Three hundred undead cavalrymen are ready to go.

"Return to the Mountains of the Dead!"

"Also, tell Mao Dun that the war is about to begin. I will allow him to go home to visit his family for two months after he returns! Also tell him that he is a smart man and he should not let me down."

Fusu didn't even enter the mansion, but got directly on his carriage.

"set off!"

Bada Wan immediately shouted loudly and the team set off directly!

"Qin may be the only way for us Xiongnu to survive!"

Behind the team, Maodun glanced in the direction of Xianyang Palace and said silently in his heart.

"Moton!"

At this moment, Badawan rode his horse to Maodun's side.

Seeing Bada coming over, Maodun was so frightened that he didn't dare to think any more. The Xiongnu were already walking on thin ice, and Maodun was dancing on eggs.

Badawan: "My king asked me to tell you that the war is about to begin. My king has shown mercy and allowed you to go home to visit your parents for two months after you return. My king also asked me to tell you that you are a smart person. Don't let my king down!"

Maodun was shocked when he heard this. He quickly said, "Thank you, Maodun, for your reward. Maodun will definitely not let the king down!"

----------

The gate of Zhangtai Palace was closed. Zulong in the palace was looking at the map that Fusu had just given him with his hands behind his back, deep in thought.

Fusu is no longer the loyal, filial, benevolent, but pedantic Fusu of the past. In today's conversation, Fusu also made his intentions clear, but he didn't know whether he should believe the Fusu of today.

Or rather, how much he should believe it.

Now there is a dilemma before him.

1: Beware of Fusu.

2: Continue to fulfill the aspirations of our predecessors.

With Qin's current national strength, it can only do one of these two things.

"My Lord, the Lich King, the eldest son's carriage team left Xianyang half a quarter of an hour ago!"

The gate of Zhangtai Palace suddenly opened. Zhang Han walked in quickly and reported to Zulong as he looked at the map from behind.

"I know! Go down now!"

Zulong said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, please retire!"

Zhang Han immediately responded and left Zhangtai Palace.

"Zhao Gao!"

Zulong shouted to Zhao Gao, who was standing beside him with his head down and his hands hanging down.

"I'm here!" Zhao Gao responded immediately after hearing this.

Zulong said slowly: "Go and tell Yan Dan that I am willing to let him return to Yan State. Before he leaves, you must invite Yan Dan to the Four Seas Palace to view the Four Seas Return to One Map, and then tell him about the Lich King. You can tell him everything you know. Go now!"

"If!" Zhao Gao responded and was about to leave Zhangtai Palace immediately.

"Wait!" Zulong stopped Zhao Gao and added: "If Yan Dan asks about me, you should say that I am busy and will not send him off."

----------

Yan Dan was very happy when he was told that the King of Qin was willing to let him return to the State of Yan.

But when he was invited by Zhao Gao and walked into the Sihai Hall, he saw the picture of the Four Seas United hanging on the wall at first sight, and his heart skipped a beat.

Suppressing his uneasiness, Yan Dan pretended to be puzzled and asked Zhao Gao, "Minister of the Imperial Chariot Office, I wonder what important matter you invited me here for?"

Zhao Gao smiled and said, "Not long ago, when my Qin State conquered Han, a pair of Korean painters, a father and a son, presented this painting of the Four Seas as One to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty was very pleased."

"Originally, the king wanted to personally invite His Highness Yan Dan to come and enjoy this magnificent picture of the four seas united together, but the Lich King of the north came to visit Qin, and the king was unable to spare the time. However, he was eager to share this joy with His Highness Yan Dan of Yan State, so he asked me to take His Highness Yan Dan to have a look first!"

“Your Highness, look, this map is magnificent. Han is in it, Yan is in it, and all the seven countries are in it. All the countries in the picture have become one country, and all people live in harmony in one country. There is no more war.” Listening to Zhao Gao's passionate speech, Yan Dan just listened silently, wrote down the key points, and waited for Zhao Gao to finish speaking.

Only after Zhao Gao finished speaking did Yan Dan say, "Please tell the King of Qin that Yan will not surrender!"

"Your Highness, I will certainly tell my king what you said." Seeing that Yan Dan had no intention of asking, Zhao Gao took the initiative to say, "It's just that the king is unable to get away because of the visit of the Lich King, and cannot personally see Your Highness off."

Seeing that Zhao Gao had said twice that the King of Qin was unable to leave because of the visit of the Lich King, Yan Dan knew what Zhao Gao meant and immediately followed Zhao Gao's words and asked, "May I ask who this Lich King is? Why have I never heard of him?"

"Alas!" Hearing this, Zhao Gao sighed and said, "The Lich King is actually the eldest son of the king. Half a year ago, the eldest son Fusu fled to Xianyang and there has been no news since then!"

Yan Dan said nothing and waited quietly for Zhao Gao's next words.

He also knew a lot about Fusu's departure half a year ago. Zulong was very angry at that time.

Zhao Gao continued, “About forty days ago, Yiqu Pass suddenly reported that the Xiongnu in the Hetao Plain suddenly sent envoys to Yiqu Pass.

The Xiongnu envoy said that a lich king suddenly appeared in the Yinshan Mountains, who changed the Yinshan Mountains into the Mountains of the Dead and demanded that all Xiongnu leave the Hetao Plain by the end of last month, otherwise they would be killed without mercy. The Xiongnu had no choice but to obey the lich king's request and evacuate the Xiongnu in the Hetao Plain.

The Xiongnu envoys also said that those who could not leave were willing to change their surnames to Qin and become Qin citizens, hoping that our country would take them in. For this reason, the Xiongnu were willing to give all the cattle, sheep and horses on the Hetao Plain to our Qin State. "

Hearing this, Yan Dan frowned immediately.

He also knew that the Xiongnu were ferocious and difficult to deal with, and that they had always been a headache for the Qin and Zhao states. However, the Xiongnu were tough, skilled in riding and shooting, and swift in action, coming and going like the wind. In order to prevent the Xiongnu from invading, the Qin and Zhao states could only build the Great Wall to resist, but it could not solve the problem once and for all.

Now Zhao Gao told him that the so-called Lich King could frighten the Xiongnu, who were so tough and moved like the wind, so much that not only did they abandon the fertile Hetao Plain, but they also abandoned all the cattle, sheep and horses on the Hetao Plain. Even the tribesmen who could not leave changed their surnames to Qin and became Qin citizens.

"Who is this Lich King? What ability does he have? How could he make the Xiongnu so afraid?" Yan Dan asked. He did not doubt Zhao Gao's words. After all, such a big thing could not be concealed.

"Alas!" Zhao Gao sighed again when he saw Yan Dan asking questions, and said, "This matter cannot be concealed. The Lich King is actually the eldest son of the king, His Highness Fusu."

"Fusu?" Yan Dan was even more surprised when he heard this.

Fusu was only twelve years old, and he had been away from Xianyang for only half a year. How could he suddenly become the Lich King that even the Huns trembled in fear?

"Yes, the Lich King is His Highness Fusu!" Zhao Gao continued, "At that time, the Xiongnu envoy said that the Lich King called himself Fusu, and he had an army of more than one million undead under his command."

Yan Dan frowned even more, interrupted Zhao Gao and asked, "What is the dead soul?"

Zhao Gao was talking about a legion of a million undead, not a million undead legion. And a million-strong army is an absolutely huge force.

"Dead people, skeletons, ghosts!" Zhao Gao said in a low voice. Speaking of the dead, Zhao Gao couldn't help but tremble.

"Dead people? Skeletons?" Yan Dan frowned even more.

An army composed of dead people and skeletons was unheard of, but it definitely only appeared in myths and legends. Now Zhao Gao actually told him that this so-called Lich King was not only Fusu, but his army was composed of the dead, and there were as many as one million of them! Even the fierce and difficult Xiongnu were extremely afraid.

Even though he had previously thought that such a big thing would soon become a hot topic and should not be false, he now felt that this matter was so unreal that it was hard for him not to doubt it.

"That's right. The dead are the deceased!" Zhao Gao continued, "When the Xiongnu envoys first said that the Lich King was the eldest son of the Qin State, no one believed it, not to mention that his army was composed of the deceased. Everyone doubted the Xiongnu's intentions."

"But soon many Xiongnu tribes came to submit to the Qin Dynasty. As time went on to the third day of this month, everyone had to believe what the Xiongnu envoys said."

"At that time, the Lich King sent out more than 200,000 undead cavalrymen to hunt down the Xiongnu who had not left the Hetao Plain. In the end, they chased them to the outside of Yiqu Pass and deployed their troops outside Yiqu Pass. At that time, all the soldiers in Yiqu Pass saw those undead. The undead who were chasing the Xiongnu also sent messengers to Yiqu Pass, saying that the Lich King would visit our Qin State. Meng Wu, the guard of Yiqu Pass, also asked the Lich King if he was Fusu and tested him."

"We got a positive result!" Yan Dan continued, his brows furrowed even more.

"Yes!" Zhao Gao nodded and continued, "Moreover, not long after, the Lich King sent a large number of troops to station outside the Yiqu Pass, a total of 1.2 million! And now the Lich King has come to our Qin State. Many people have seen those undead spirits with their own eyes, and they have confirmed that the Lich King is Fusu."

"Moreover, the Lich King is ambitious and is no longer the same Fusu as before!"

After hearing what Zhao Gao said, Yan Dan frowned and said, "The King of Qin asked you to tell me these words, right?"

He had almost figured it out.

The King of Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, but his desire to unify the world remained unchanged. But now the Qin State encountered a big trouble - the Lich King. So the King of Qin asked Zhao Gao to invite him to view the map of the four seas united as one, which described the future of the four seas united as one, with the intention of persuading him to persuade the State of Yan to surrender to the Qin State.

Of course, Zhao Gao’s words were too unrealistic, and whether they were true or false needed to be confirmed after returning to Yan State.

"Yes!" Zhao Gao said with a wry smile. "The Lich King came to visit and brought a world map with him. That map is much larger and more detailed than this map of the four seas united. It is so large that it is unbelievable, and it is so detailed that it depicts every village, every road and river."

After listening, Yan Dan was silent for a long time, and then he said: "Please tell the King of Qin that Yan Dan will inform my father of the whole matter, and my father will decide, but ~~ Yan will not surrender."

"Your Highness Yan Dan's words, I will definitely convey them to the King in full!"
