Will the King of Han agree to this?

"You can try to persuade the King of Han to agree to this."

Inside Lady Mingzhu's bedroom, Jiang Chuan ran his fingers through her black hair and spoke softly.

After Han Yu proposed in court that Princess Honglian be betrothed to Ji Yihu.

Ji Wuye also took the initiative to propose to the King of Han.

Although Zhang Kaidi and Han Fei strongly opposed it, King Han did indeed begin to consider it.

In order to persuade the King of Han to make a decision, Ji Wuye did not forget that one of the Four Fiends of the Night was hiding in the palace and was the King of Han's favorite concubine.

As the King of Han's favorite concubine, if she were to whisper sweet nothings in his ear at this time, she could change the King's mind.

Lady Mingzhu received a message from Ji Wuye.

However, she did not directly do as Ji Wuye asked.

Instead, after Jiang Chuan arrived at the palace, they sought Jiang Chuan's opinion.

Ultimately, Ji Wuye is merely her nominal superior, while her true master is Jiang Chuan. After the death of Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei, she and Jiang Chuan have become bound by a life-or-death bond.

"Oh?"

Madam Mingzhu was somewhat puzzled after hearing Jiang Chuan's words.

Jiang Chuan gave his answer, "After all, this is Ji Wuye's request. If you refuse directly, it will inevitably arouse Ji Wuye's suspicion."

"Moreover, marrying Princess Honglian to Ji Yihu is actually a good thing for us."

"Why?" Madam Mingzhu asked, puzzled.

Jiang Chuan said, "Bai Yifei is already dead. Although I can pretend to be Bai Yifei and deceive Ji Wuye for a while, I'm afraid that if too much time passes, there will still be a risk of being exposed."

"Especially, under Ji Wuye's command, there is also the Straw-Cloaked Man."

“Even you don’t know the exact background of the man in the straw raincoat, which shows that this person is extremely terrifying. No one knows whether he can find out the truth.”

"Once Ji Wuye finds out what we've done, there will be no place for us in this vast land of Han..."

Madam Mingzhu's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

Ji Wuye was someone even her cousin Bai Yifei feared greatly.

It is indeed a terrifying existence.

“Therefore, we must strike first,” Jiang Chuan continued. “For our safety, we might as well get rid of Ji Wuye and take his place.”

"Is it really possible to get rid of Ji Wuye and take his place?" Madam Mingzhu asked curiously. She had never had such an idea before, but she did know that her cousin Bai Yifei had had similar thoughts in the past.

In the past, she was merely a helper carefully cultivated by Bai Yifei, whose sole purpose was to assist Bai Yifei.

However, even Bai Yifei, who commanded 100,000 troops in Han and possessed outstanding martial prowess, was still extremely wary of Ji Wuye.

It wasn't just because Ji Wuye was a great general of Han, but also because Ji Wuye's strength was terrifying, and Bai Yifei wasn't confident he could defeat him.

Immediately afterwards, Madam Mingzhu thought of the fact that Bai Yifei had been killed by Jiang Chuan and that woman.

Bai Yifei died at Jiang Chuan's hands, so Jiang Chuan might be able to defeat Ji Wuye.

Even if he defeats Ji Wuye, can he really take his place?

"why not?"

Jiang Chuan said to Madam Mingzhu, "Besides being the Grand General of Han, Ji Wuye is also the leader of Nightfall. I disguised myself as Bai Yifei. Although my status in the Han army is not as high as Ji Wuye's, I am still the commander of an army of 0.5."

"Besides, the two of us are also two of the Four Fiends of Nightfall. If we also include Bai Yifei's identity, Nightfall has three-quarters of us."

“As long as Ji Wuye is dead, I can use Bai Yifei’s identity to take full control of everything in the army. We can also take over Nightfall and replace him. It will be a very easy thing.”

After careful consideration, Lady Mingzhu realized that it was indeed true; replacing Ji Wuye was not as difficult as she had imagined.

"So, are you going to kill Ji Wuye?" Madam Mingzhu asked Jiang Chuan again.

"No, I plan to sit back and watch the show first," Jiang Chuan said.

Chapter 140 The Power of Pillow Talk

"Sitting on the sidelines and watching the tigers fight?"

Madam Mingzhu was still puzzled.

Jiang Chuan explained in detail to Madam Mingzhu, "Going back to the previous topic, as I said, facilitating Princess Honglian's marriage to Ji Yihu is a good thing for us."

"The reason I say this is because this matter could anger Han Fei."

"Han Fei?" Lady Mingzhu knew a little about Han Fei, the ninth son of the King of Han. The King of Han did not like Han Fei very much. He had been studying abroad for many years. After returning to the country, the first thing he did was to solve the case of the ghost soldiers robbing military pay and take back 100,000 taels of gold from Ji Wuye.

Later, with Zhang Kaidi's recommendation, he became the Minister of Justice, solved many strange cases, and eliminated many of Ji Wuye's people. He has now become a major threat to Ji Wuye, who is eager to get rid of Han Fei.

"Han Fei, can you really deal with Ji Wuye?" Lady Mingzhu was not very optimistic about Han Fei. After all, the Nightfall was too powerful. Even with Zhang Kaidi's backing, it was still a pipe dream for Han Fei to deal with Ji Wuye.

"Who can say for sure?" Jiang Chuan did not give a definite answer, because in the original work, it was indeed questionable whether Han Fei's Quicksand organization had eradicated Nightfall.

After two seasons of The Legend of Qin, he had only eliminated one Jade Tiger.

Jiang Chuan didn't know how he would deal with Nightfall.

But if nothing changes, Han Fei's ending will be a tragedy, or rather, the entire Quicksand is a tragedy.

Nongyu assassinated Ji Wuye and died; Zi Nu's whereabouts are unknown; Han Fei went on a diplomatic mission to Qin and ultimately died under the Six Souls Curse.

Princess Honglian was ultimately forced to marry Ji Wuye.

The vast quicksand has become a joke.

The so-called eradication of the night ultimately relies on the sword in Wei Zhuang's hand.

On the night of Ji Wuye's wedding, he killed Ji Wuye with his sword.

Clearly, this outcome contradicts Han Fei's original intention in establishing the Quicksand organization.

However, even so, if Han Fei can cause some trouble for Ji Wuye and severely damage Ji Wuye's vitality, it would be a good thing for him.

In the original novel, Honglian's marriage to Ji Wuye prompted Wei Zhuang to draw his sword and attempt to assassinate Ji Wuye.

If Princess Honglian were to marry Ji Wuye's son, Ji Yihu, Han Fei would definitely not remain indifferent and would definitely try to stop it.

All Jiang Chuan needs to do is to do his utmost to ensure the success of this matter.

This left Han Fei with no way out but to confront Ji Wuye head-on.

He chatted with Lady Mingzhu for a few more minutes and instructed her to whisper sweet nothings in the ear of the King of Han.

Jiang Chuan then revealed something else: "I have basically determined the location of the secret chamber in Snow Robe Fortress, and we should be able to find Bai Yifei's legacy soon."

"Great."

Upon hearing this news, Madam Mingzhu was overjoyed.

Jiang Chuan then asked Madam Mingzhu, "You care so much about Bai Yifei's inheritance, what exactly do you want?"

Seeing that Jiang Chuan had asked, Madam Mingzhu did not hide anything, "I want his original Gu technique manual."

"The Gu techniques that Bai Yifei taught me, after years of study, I found that they must be incomplete. At the very least, the Gu techniques he taught me did not include the method of cultivating Gu mothers."

"Only Bai Yifei knows how to cultivate the Gu Mother."

"So I guess that among the many secret manuals left behind after his mother died, there must have been these methods."

"I see." Jiang Chuan nodded.

He wasn't surprised that Bai Yifei had kept a secret from Madam Mingzhu of the many skills he had taught her.

After all, Madam Mingzhu was just a tool to Bai Yifei.

For someone who is merely a tool, it's impossible to be completely unreserved.

Keeping a backup plan is also a way to keep Lady Mingzhu under control.

Another night of absurdity.

Jiang Chuan left the palace.

Afterwards, he went to Snowclothes Fortress, intending to try to crack Bai Yifei's secret chamber entrance.

Lady Mingzhu went to see King Han and whispered sweet nothings in his ear.

It must be said that Lady Mingzhu truly understood King Han, or rather, she understood people's hearts.

Under her influence, the King of Han gradually changed his initial opinion.

Admittedly, Ji Yihu is very ugly.

But appearance is something you're born with and can't change.

Most importantly, it depends on whether Ji Yihu is worthy of Princess Honglian.

Obviously yes.

Although it is said that Ji Yihu was somewhat arrogant and domineering when he was in Xinzheng, it is not surprising that such behavior would occur to him, after all, his father is General Ji Wuye.

On the contrary, Ji Yihu took the initiative to join the army and was willing to endure hardship in the military, which is enough to prove that Ji Yihu is a tiger cub, not a tiger father and a dog son.

Aside from the fact that Ji Yihu is worthy of Princess Honglian.
