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

To avoid any unforeseen complications, it would be best to have Ji Yihu return as soon as possible, and then proceed with the marriage directly.

Although Ji Wuye urged him repeatedly.

But after embarking on his journey, Ji Yihu still maintained a leisurely demeanor.

On the muddy road, a team of a hundred soldiers led the way.

In the middle of the procession was a magnificent carriage pulled by two tall, spirited horses.

The carriage was large and filled with carpets. Even though the road was rough, the carriage was very comfortable, except for a slight swaying.

A man dressed in silver armor and a golden robe was lying on his side inside the carriage. A scantily clad woman was kneeling carefully beside him, feeding him fruit from a plate.

The man was Ji Yihu.

As Ji Wuye's son, his appearance is exactly the same as Ji Wuye's, equally ugly.

His only advantage over Ji Wuye was that he was younger.

"I don't know what the old man is in such a hurry for. Why is he rushing me back?"

"I can't be too happy out here all by myself. When I go back, I'll have to look at his ugly old face again."

Inside the carriage, Ji Yihu ate fruit while muttering to himself.

Although he himself was ugly, it did not stop him from despising his father, Ji Wuye, for being ugly.

While muttering to himself, he added, "However, I must say, the old man is getting more and more capable; he actually managed to get Princess Red Lotus into my hands as well."

"I wonder what it's like for Princess Honglian, as a princess, to play this game."

Thinking of this, Ji Yihu couldn't help but lick his lips, revealing a somewhat lewd expression.

As Ji Yihu enjoyed himself, he was escorted by the convoy towards Xinzheng.

Before passing through a canyon.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound rang out, and the carriage shook violently.

Then, the carriage stopped moving.

Ji Yihu, inside the carriage, realized this. He slightly opened his triangular eyes and asked towards the outside of the carriage, "What happened?"

Soon, a guard came to report, "Young General, there has been a rockfall ahead, blocking our path. The soldiers are currently working to clear the road."

"Oh."

Knowing what had happened, Ji Yihu didn't take it to heart and continued to rest.

As for whether he will encounter any dangers along the way?

He never imagined that these hundred-plus people were all elite guards assigned to him by his father, Ji Wuye, whose strength was considerable and enough to protect his safety.

The fallen rocks were quickly cleared away.

Ji Yihu's group continued onward.

However, whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made one, Ji Yihu's group kept encountering trouble during their journey.

Chapter 148: The Soul-Breaking Valley

Or perhaps a fallen tree lies across the middle of the road.

Or it could be a landslide.

Or perhaps rocks have blocked the road.

Or perhaps it was bandits robbing people on the road.

Although the bandits were no match for his personal guards, they were quickly driven back.

However, this incident has indeed severely hampered Ji Yihu's schedule.

Even though Ji Wuye urged him to return to Xinzheng quickly, Ji Yihu didn't feel particularly anxious. A long journey is tiring.

How wonderful it would be to ride in a carriage like this, playing with beautiful women, and slowly making our way to Xinzheng.

If you get tired during the trip, you can have some drinks.

When it comes to alcohol, Ji Yihu doesn't understand why strong liquor like Xinlingyin is so popular.

He simply can't drink that kind of alcohol.

For him, drinks taste better when they are a little weak.

"Major General."

Ji Yihu was enjoying the wine fed to him by the beauty beside him when suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the carriage again.

"What happened again?"

Ji Yihu asked calmly.

He had gotten used to it by now.

He is used to encountering all kinds of troubles. Basically, every time he encounters trouble, it will delay him for a while, sometimes for several hours, sometimes for most of the day.

He hadn't considered whether these troubles were caused by natural disasters or man-made calamities.

Because he is Ji Wuye's son, perhaps in other places, someone would dare to harm him, but here, this is Korea, Korea is the domain of Nightfall, an organization led by his father.

On this land, their family is undoubtedly the king.

No one can harm him on this land.

As expected, the team encountered some trouble again.

Another rockfall crisis.

To be honest, the probability of encountering falling rocks has been quite high lately when passing through the canyon.

Ji Yihu even suspected that someone might be deliberately obstructing his journey back.

Although I hadn't thought of it before, that doesn't stop me from thinking about it now.

But after thinking about it, he gave up. In the end, it was just a petty trick that couldn't be brought to the table.

What difference does it make if his trip is delayed for a while?

He's almost back in Xinzheng now.

After passing this point, and continuing for a while, you'll reach the infamous Valley of Broken Souls.

Speaking of which, the incident of the ghost soldiers robbing the supplies must have happened in Broken Soul Valley.

Although Ji Yihu was in the front-line military camp, he was still aware of some of the events that had occurred in Xinzheng.

Without a doubt, the so-called ghost soldier robbery was orchestrated by the old man.

However, the lost gold was later found, which was quite unexpected. What had gotten into the old man that he would give away the gold he had already lost?

While waiting for the soldiers to clear the fallen rocks, Ji Yihu couldn't help but let his mind wander.

Another half day has passed.

After the fallen rocks were cleared, Ji Yihu's team continued on their way.

Perhaps because the Valley of Broken Souls was filled with heavy yin energy, the sky suddenly darkened as the group arrived, with thick clouds gathering and a light drizzle beginning to fall.

Since the name Broken Soul Valley contains the word "valley," it is naturally a valley.

However, the valley is quite wide, so it would be very difficult to block it with falling rocks.

In the past, when the State of Han destroyed the State of Zheng, it was here that the last remnants of Zheng's army were killed and buried on the spot. So even today, occasionally, with heavy rain, white bones are washed out from the soil.

In Korean folklore, there are many ghosts and monsters, including the story of the Valley of Broken Souls.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Ji Wuye chose to carry out his plan to rob the soldiers of their pay here that day.

At this moment, beside the valley, on the cliff face.

A figure stood in the light rain and breeze, looking at Ji Yihu's group with a very unpleasant expression.

The figure was wearing a black cloak, which swayed in the breeze, revealing a glimpse of a strand of white hair. It was Wei Zhuang.

After discussing with Han Fei that day.

He promised Han Fei something.

That is to do everything possible to prevent Ji Yihu from returning to China.

If it were just Ji Yihu alone, that would be fine; they could simply tie him up and release him after Han Fei resolved the matter of the arranged marriage. Killing Ji Yihu is definitely out of the question, because the trouble that would ensue would be far too great.

However, besides himself, Ji Yihu's team was escorted by more than a hundred soldiers. These people were undoubtedly elites sent by Ji Wuye to protect his son.

Because of these people's presence, Wei Zhuang couldn't easily alert them and take direct action. He could only use subtle methods to influence Ji Yihu's itinerary.

He has used every means at his disposal along the way.

Creating natural disasters, delaying Ji Yihu's journey, and inciting bandits in the mountains to rob him—these actions did indeed greatly delay Ji Yihu's return. However, Ji Yihu has finally arrived at Broken Soul Valley.

He's about to return to Xinzheng.

As for Han Fei, it seems he has not yet found a way to break the deadlock.
