Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 71 Countermeasures, Han Fei's Speculation

"What is it that troubles the General?"

In the General's Mansion, Bai Yifei's voice was completely flat, carrying a chilling aura as if the land were frozen solid.

Ji Wuye clenched his fists and slammed them heavily against the wall beside him, saying viciously, "The Poison Scorpion Sect's affair has been exposed, and the King was already dissatisfied with me. Now, another charge has popped up: gathering up Baiyue bandits and failing to properly employ people. In addition, there's the death of Lady Hu. That Consort Hu in the palace will definitely hold me accountable for this."

"When Han Yu left just now, he was being sarcastic and mocking, thinking I wouldn't notice. If it weren't for me, would those bastards be where they are today? They would have been beheaded by Qin soldiers long ago to collect their military merits. And now they dare to mock me!!"

Upon hearing Ji Wuye's words, Bai Yifei frowned slightly.

"Baiyue??"

Ji Wuye's voice turned cold.

"It's the vulture. He was one of the Three Wolves Who Cut Off Their Hair back then. That bastard sneaked among the birds and even assassinated Liu Yi."

At present, Ji Wuye has not yet learned any information about vultures from Emerald Tiger, and he naturally does not know any information about Li Kai either, so Han Fei caught him off guard this time.

However, from another perspective, this was also a clash between Chen Xiuyuan and the local forces in Xinzheng. Whether it was quicksand or the night, before they could even figure it out, Li Kai and Madam Hu had already safely evacuated.

As the art of war says: "Swift as the wind, silent as the forest, fierce as fire, immovable as a mountain, unfathomable as the shadows, and powerful as thunder."

Speed ​​can solve 90% of the problems in many situations.

Bai Yifei stood there in silence for a while, then gave a cold laugh.

"The Baiyue, those ants who should have perished back then, have unexpectedly resurfaced. This time, let's wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye looked at Bai Yifei, somewhat puzzled. Did Bai Yifei mean the Baiyue people or Han Fei and his group when he said "wipe them all out"?
"Since they want to experience the darkness of the night, I think we might as well grant their wish."

"The king will surely like that person very much~~"

Ji Wuye narrowed his eyes, as if he had guessed something.

"What does Your Excellency mean?"

Bai Yifei raised her head, looked outside, and spoke softly.

"Since the story begins in this place that should have been forgotten long ago, it should have a perfect ending made possible by the blood of these people."

Ji Wuye's lips curled into a smile.

"You mean Tianze??"

Bai Yifei's figure flickered and disappeared from the main hall, while a voice echoed throughout the hall.

"It's time to let these people know who really owns this city."

Zilan Pavilion, Han Fei returned here again. Han Wang An's reaction in the court earlier made him realize some problems.

Ji Wuye held a place in his father's heart far beyond what he had anticipated.

Zi Nu pushed open the door and entered. Seeing Han Fei's worried expression, a strange look flashed in her eyes. This time, they should have won a great victory regarding Liu Yi, but he didn't seem happy.

"Young master seems unhappy?"

Hearing the voice, Han Fei looked up and saw Zi Nu. He greeted her, "Miss Zi Nu~"

"It's nothing, it's just that I underestimated Ji Wuye's importance in Father's heart. The Baiyue region has always been a thorn in Father's side. Ji Wuye took in the Three Wolves with Broken Hair, and then this happened, but the final punishment was..."

At this point, Han Fei couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Zi Nu lowered her gaze slightly. Ji Wuye was already deeply rooted in Korea. To bring him down would not be a small matter. Relying on just Wujiu and the Poison Scorpion Sect was just wishful thinking.

After thinking for a moment, Zi Nu comforted him, saying, "Ji Wuye has a huge influence in Han, and can be said to have the power to control everything. The king still needs him to guard the territory. The Three Wolves with Broken Hair are far from reaching the king's bottom line. In Han, apart from us, I'm afraid even the Fourth Prince has never had the thought of eliminating this great general."

Han Fei recalled the scene in the imperial court and couldn't help but sigh.

Zi Nu is right. Even if it is Prime Minister Zhang Kai, he is skillfully balancing the situation in the court. For him, if he is not absolutely certain, he would not completely break ties with Ji Wuye.

As for his fourth brother, he is shrewd and calculating, but in the current state of Korea, this alone is not enough. If we look at the whole world, the current state of Korea and Ji Wuye are both courting death.

"There's still one thing I haven't figured out."

As he spoke, Han Fei stood up and went to the window, looking towards the direction of the royal palace.

He spoke again, saying, "Where did that short-lived Right Sima Li Kai go? After these days of investigation, it's as if he vanished into thin air."

"And there was the little maid who was with Madam Hu. According to her recollection, on the day of the fire, Madam Hu had given her a bowl of sweet soup at noon. After she finished drinking it, Madam Hu told her to go back to her room to rest. Since it was customary for people to take a nap at noon, she didn't think much of it. But she slept for half a day until the fire reached her room and the thick smoke woke her up. With the help of the Imperial Guards, she escaped death."

"As for Madam Hu, we did find a skeleton, but it was burned in the fire and was completely unrecognizable. We could only tell that it was a woman, with a similar build to Madam Hu!"

Upon hearing Han Fei's words, Zi Nu was taken aback.

She felt that the other party was implying that there were problems with Madam Hu's death, and that the matter of Li Kai was not as simple as they had imagined.

Subconsciously, a person flashed through her mind. This person was none other than the young man who had saved her and Nongyu earlier.

However, there was absolutely no evidence pointing to the other party. Nongyu had been in his room all afternoon, and he had no time to deal with these matters.

Han Fei put his hands behind his back, a hint of inquiry flashing deep in his eyes.

"I have a feeling that this matter is not so simple. It seems like there's a hand controlling everything in the shadows. Although this outcome is in our best interest, but..."

Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in Zi Nu's eyes.

"Young master, are you overthinking this? If there really is such a person in Xinzheng who can manipulate all of us, wouldn't he be a prophet?"

Han Fei suddenly lowered his head and said with some helplessness, "That's why I have some concerns. Is there really someone in this world who can predict the future? If so, then if we get his help, we might be able to easily conquer the world."

Zi Nu narrowed her eyes, and the hand she was holding under her chin trembled involuntarily. She hadn't expected Han Fei to have such a high opinion of that person!

It almost made her lose her composure.

"Could there really be such a person?"

Han Fei remained silent for a moment, then gently shook his head.

"I hope not, otherwise he would be an extremely terrifying opponent."
