The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Jiang Chuan looked at Madam Mingzhu quietly without saying anything.

Instead, he allowed Madam Mingzhu to browse through the bone book containing the art of Gu poison, because this was the reward he had promised her as payment.

Chapter 145 The Way to Break the Stalemate

This was because the King of Han had arranged the marriage between Ji Yihu and Ji Yihu.

The situation in Xinzheng has been somewhat tense recently.

Han Yu and Ji Wuye have finally come together. At the first court assembly, Han Yu took the initiative to announce Tian Ze's execution and then requested the King of Han to marry Hong Lian to Ji Yihu. Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi already knew about this.

However, they could understand Han Yu's choice.

After all, the crown prince is dead.

Only a handful of princes have the opportunity to become the new crown prince.

General Ji Wuye was the leader of the army and wielded immense power. The former crown prince was close to Ji Wuye, and the crown prince's death had a significant impact on Ji Wuye.

It's not surprising that Han Yu actively sought Ji Wuye's help in order to become the new crown prince.

What angered Han Fei the most was that Han Yu was actually prepared to sacrifice his own sister for the position of crown prince.

You should know that Honglian is also Han Yu's sister.

Is the position of Crown Prince really that important? Is it worth sacrificing your sister's happiness and sending her into a pit of fire for this position?

27 At first, Han Fei was only indignant about Han Yu's behavior.

After his father officially issued the decree betrothing Honglian to Ji Yihu, Han Fei was genuinely disappointed with the entire state of Han.

To change the whole of South Korea, it takes much more than just eradicating the darkness.

The king's incompetence and the many princes' vying for power and profit are the reasons why the state of Han is weak.

But even if you understand this, what good will it do?

He is not a king, after all.

Even kings, like Qin King Ying Zheng, had their own dilemmas, which shows that even kings cannot do whatever they want.

More important than these matters, Han Fei needed to consider how to prevent Honglian from marrying Ji Yihu.

Because of this.

He chose to lie low for the time being, avoiding direct conflict with Ji Wuye, while secretly meeting with Wei Zhuang and the others to seek solutions.

However, the imperial edict had already been issued.

Once Ji Yihu returns, it will be the day Honglian and Ji Yihu get married.

How can he stop it?

"The solution is actually very simple."

In the manor in the southern city, Wei Zhuang's face remained gloomy. The thought of that old fellow, the King of Han, bestowing Honglian upon Ji Yihu filled him with rage. However, to avoid being noticed by Han Fei and Zi Nu, he ultimately concealed his anger.

The anger in one's heart can be hidden, but the gloom on one's face cannot be concealed.

Fortunately, Han Fei was also annoyed by Hong Lian's situation and did not notice Wei Zhuang's emotional changes.

Zi Nu, on the other hand, saw through something, but being as clever as she was, she chose to remain silent.

"What method?" Han Fei asked Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang said, "King Han has already issued a decree that this matter is irreversible, but we still have a chance to stop it."

"As long as the person who was betrothed cannot return."

Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice, "Ji Yihu is not in Xinzheng at the moment. The King of Han's decree is to wait until he returns before the wedding."

"What if something happens to him and he can't come back?"

Han Fei's eyes sharpened; he had guessed Wei Zhuang's meaning.

If Ji Yihu is killed, then the marriage between Honglian and Ji Yihu will no longer be possible, because the groom will be dead.

It must be said that what Wei Zhuang said was indeed a solution.

"No, this is not appropriate!"

Immediately, Han Fei rejected Wei Zhuang's proposal.

“Killing Ji Yihu could temporarily prevent Honglian from marrying him, but you must know that Ji Yihu is Ji Wuye’s son, and Ji Wuye’s only son. Ji Wuye cherishes Ji Yihu very much. If something happens to Ji Yihu, no one knows what Ji Wuye might do in his madness.”

"We can't gamble!"

Han Fei's expression was solemn.

Admittedly, he was furious that his father had betrothed his sister Honglian to Ji Yihu, but even in his anger, he did not lose his mind. He knew very well how terrifying Ji Wuye was.

In a normal game of strategy, gradually clipping Ji Wuye's wings was the way he thought of to eliminate the Nightfall.

This method absolutely does not include completely enraging Ji Wuye and driving him into madness.

"Ji Yihu cannot die. If he dies, Ji Wuye will go completely insane, and we cannot guarantee what Ji Wuye will do then."

"However, there is one thing we can do."

Han Fei looked at Wei Zhuang again, "Brother Wei Zhuang is right about one thing. Father's decree is that Ji Yihu will marry Honglian after he returns. Therefore, Brother Wei Zhuang, I need you to take action to delay Ji Yihu's return."

"Given enough time, I believe that I can persuade my father to change his mind and cancel the arranged marriage."

Wei Zhuang was actually somewhat dissatisfied with Han Fei's hesitant and indecisive behavior.

But upon reflection, he realized that his previous suggestion had indeed been somewhat extreme.

Perhaps it was because he lost his mind when he thought about that matter.

Indeed, it would not be a good thing to provoke Ji Wuye before being certain of eliminating the Nightfall.

"Should we delay Ji Yihu's return?"

Wei Zhuang thought of Han Fei's words and then nodded, saying, "Okay, I will do it myself."

……

Jiang Chuan has been busy taking stock of Bai Yifei's 297 inheritance. At the same time, he has also asked Yan Lingji to try to contact Bai Du Wang, Qu Shi Mo and others, thinking about recruiting the Baiyue assassin group to his own cause.

Unfortunately, I didn't expect this at the time.

By the time these things came to mind, the Baiyue assassin group had already disbanded.

It's already a bit too late to find the members of the Baiyue assassin group.

In addition, Jiang Chuan is also paying close attention to the current situation in Xinzheng.

After all, he was someone who cared about national affairs. Xinzheng was the capital of the State of Han, so it was not wrong to say that what happened there was a national event.

Ji Wuye's side has already gained the upper hand.

The King of Han has already issued an imperial decree to marry Princess Honglian to Ji Yihu.

How will Han Fei and his group respond?

Jiang Chuan naturally paid close attention to this matter.

He directly commanded the Nightfall, keeping a close eye on Han Fei.

There's absolutely no need to hide anything when doing this; just do it openly and honestly.

After all, Ji Wuye already considered Han Fei a major threat. Moreover, Han Fei had repeatedly opposed marrying Honglian to his son Ji Yihu in court. With the wedding date approaching, Ji Wuye was quite afraid that Han Fei would interfere.

He still remembers how Han Fei brought Wei Zhuang to his mansion and swindled him out of 100,000 taels of gold.

This enraged Ji Wuye.

Chapter 146 Solving the Problem

"If you were Han Fei, how would you solve this problem?"

Since they couldn't figure out what Han Fei and the others would do, keeping an eye on Han Fei was only a passive approach, while Jiang Chuan always preferred to take the initiative.

Earlier, in Lady Mingzhu's palace, he had told her about his initiative to arrange for Honglian to marry Ji Yihu, with the aim of inciting conflict between Han Fei and Ji Wuye.
