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

Waited for a long time.

Jiang Chuan's eyes lit up only when a figure returned.

The figure was dressed in black night clothes, completely concealing their identity.

Upon seeing the other person, Jiang Chuan first examined their entire body to determine if they were injured. Fortunately, there seemed to be no external injuries, which reassured him somewhat.

Ru Shuang sensed Jiang Chuan's gaze, and her face beneath the veil flushed slightly. She said to Jiang Chuan, "I'll go change my clothes first."

Jiang Chuan nodded.

Soon, Ru Shuang changed her clothes and put on her everyday clothes.

She came to Jiang Chuan's side, looking as delicate and frail as ever.

Jiang Chuan handed her a glass of warm wine.

Ru Shuang accepted the drink without ceremony, took a sip, and immediately felt a warm sensation wash over her.

Setting down her wine glass, Ru Shuang, not forgetting the important matter, said to Jiang Chuan, "Ji Yihu is dead."

"very good."

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Chuan immediately showed a satisfied expression.

Chapter 150 Wei Zhuang, who stepped in to take the blame

After talking with Ru Shuang that day, Jiang Chuan didn't know what Han Fei would do to dissuade Princess Honglian from being betrothed to Ji Yihu. However, in order to achieve the goal of driving away one wolf to devour another and making Ji Wuye and Han Fei fight each other, he didn't mind adding fuel to the fire and pushing the two of them forward.

Therefore, he decided to kill Ji Yihu, driving Ji Wuye into madness.

So?

Where should we kill Ji Yihu?

After careful consideration, he finally chose the Valley of Broken Souls.

Duanhun Valley is the only way to reach Xinzheng from outside. Although it is not a strategically important place, its terrain is indeed very dangerous. Otherwise, the remnants of the Zheng army would not have been able to resist the invasion of the Han army there.

It's said to be from back then, but it's all from over a hundred years ago.

On that day, Ji Wuye orchestrated the ghost soldiers' robbery of military funds in Broken Soul Valley. Ultimately, the case was solved by Han Fei. Han Fei took Wei Zhuang to the General's Mansion and, through psychological warfare, tricked Ji Wuye into transferring the military funds, causing the 100,000 taels of military funds that Ji Wuye had obtained to be taken back.

This also caused a great grudge between Ji Wuye and Han Fei.

For Ji Wuye, the Valley of Broken Souls was definitely a place that left a deep impression on him.

If Ji Yihu died in Broken Soul Valley, then who would Ji Wuye suspect the most?

Without a doubt, it is... Han Fei.

Han Fei was a very disciplined person who always followed the law. This was Jiang Chuan's perception of Han Fei. However, Ji Wuye saw it differently. In Ji Wuye's view, Han Fei was a despicable and shameless person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Perhaps it's because Ji Wuye himself is that kind of person that he views Han Fei in this way.

If Ji Yihu is dead, who are the prime suspects? Naturally, it would be Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi, because they were the only ones who stopped the King of Han from bestowing the marriage, and the incident just happened to occur in Broken Soul Valley. In any case, Han Fei cannot escape trouble.

This is the fire that Jiang Chuan set.

Now that Ji Yihu is dead, all that's left is to wait for Ji Wuye to go mad.

He was also eager to see what Han Fei, in his desperate situation, could do.

"Does my husband know who I met in the Valley of Broken Souls?"

Ru Shuang then brought up another matter.

"Oh?" Jiang Chuan looked at Ru Shuang curiously, and from Ru Shuang's words, it seemed that there was an unexpected surprise.

"Although the man was wearing a cloak and concealing his appearance, I can confirm from his unchanging longsword that he is Wei Zhuang, who follows Han Fei."

Ru Shuang expressed her judgment.

"So, Wei Zhuang also appeared in Broken Soul Valley?" Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered, and then he remembered something else. "According to Nightfall's intelligence, Ji Yihu's journey back was not smooth. He encountered natural disasters repeatedly, which seriously hindered his journey."

"Although Ji Yihu himself did not take these matters to heart and always maintained a very calm attitude, Ji Wuye was furious. He had already concluded that this was a man-made disaster, and that it was done by people like Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi in order to delay his trip and prevent Ji Yihu from returning to the country to get married."

“Ji Wuye has already begun investigating this matter during this period.”

"I didn't expect Wei Zhuang to appear in Broken Soul Valley. Is he trying to delay Ji Yihu's journey any longer?" Jiang Chuan analyzed Wei Zhuang's motives. "So much time has passed, and Han Fei still hasn't found a way to break the deadlock."

"Delaying Ji Yihu's trip is tantamount to postponing the wedding, which is indeed a contingency plan."

"Before leaving, I caused Wei Zhuang some minor trouble. I wonder if he has managed to escape now." Ru Shuang said in a playful tone. Although she only locked Wei Zhuang's aura for a moment, that moment had already caused Wei Zhuang to miss the best opportunity to escape.

"Madam, you really are..."

For a moment, Jiang Chuan was at a loss for words when it came to how to evaluate Ru Shuang's behavior.

Initially, he chose to make his move in the Valley of Broken Souls in order to divert trouble and cause Ji Wuye and Han Fei to fight each other.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zhuang appeared directly in Broken Soul Valley.

Jiang Chuan had never seen anyone so eager to take the blame.

Although Wei Zhuang had disguised himself, Ru Shuang, who wasn't particularly familiar with him, recognized him by his sword. As expected, it wouldn't be long before Ji Wuye also guessed Wei Zhuang's identity.

Just as Jiang Chuan was talking with Ru Shuang in the mansion.

Xinzheng City, South City.

Inside the manor, an injured figure stumbled in.

Zi Nu was originally enjoying her tea.

Upon seeing this figure, he immediately stood up respectfully and went to the other person's side to help them up.

"You are hurt?"

Looking at Wei Zhuang, Zi Shen's expression turned solemn.

Wei Zhuang's face was grim.

Upon witnessing Ji Yihu's death, Ji Yihu's personal guards went into a frenzy. Each of them was exceptionally skilled; otherwise, Ji Wuye wouldn't have chosen them to protect his son. However, they failed to protect Ji Yihu. With Ji Yihu dead, it was clear they would all be implicated. To avoid being killed by the enraged general, their only option was to atone for their crimes by capturing Ji Yihu's murderer.

The culprit escaped, but Wei Zhuang remained, and in their eyes, the two were in cahoots.

So they bravely charged towards Wei Zhuang and launched an attack.

Wei Zhuang expended a great deal of effort to successfully break through the encirclement, and even so, he was seriously injured.

300 However, at this moment, he did not care about his injuries, because there were things that mattered to him more than his injuries.

Ji Yihu is dead!

"What?" Zi Nu was very surprised upon hearing this. She looked at the heavily injured Wei Zhuang. "You killed him?"

She was well aware of the consequences of Ji Yihu's death.

Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice, "I didn't kill him. Ji Yihu came to Broken Soul Valley and was about to return to Xinzheng. I originally planned to kidnap him to buy time for Han Fei. However, a mysterious person suddenly made a move and killed Ji Yihu, which also implicated me."

After listening to Wei Zhuang's explanation, Zi Nu understood the reason for the matter.

I also came to understand some things.

At this moment, whether Wei Zhuang killed Ji Yihu is no longer important.

Importantly, Wei Zhuang had been present at the crime scene.

This is a huge problem.

……

Inside the general's mansion, Ji Wuye was dressed in armor and held his eight-foot bronze longsword.

He stared at the corpse lying on the ground in front of him, remaining silent for a long time.

If you look closely, you'll see that there's a burning anger in his eyes.

The atmosphere inside the general's mansion was extremely oppressive because of his silence.

A storm is brewing...

Chapter 151 Raging Fury, All-Out War Begins

Ji Wuye only had one son, Ji Yihu.

He still remembers how happy he was when Ji Yihu was born.

At that time, he had risen from a retainer to a general of the State of Han, holding a prominent position and wielding immense power.

However, he had no children.

Only when he has offspring does it mean that he has an heir, which is of extraordinary significance.

More importantly, he never had any more children after that.

Ji Yihu was his only son.

It was for this reason that Ji Wuye doted on Ji Yihu immensely. He would do his best to find everything Ji Yihu wanted. Although he had a very bad temper, he was extremely patient in front of Ji Yihu.

Several years ago, in order to enable Ji Yihu to inherit his legacy, he sent Ji Yihu to the army for training.

In recent years, Ji Wuye has missed his son very much.
