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

After the King of Han bestowed the marriage upon him, he urged Ji Yihu to return quickly, firstly to prevent any unforeseen complications and to prevent Han Fei and Zhang Kai from plotting anything to ruin the marriage.

Secondly, he missed his son very much.

Ji Yihu, however, seemed unconcerned and strolled leisurely along the way.

This greatly displeased Ji Wuye.

However, after learning that someone was constantly creating obstacles and hindering Ji Yihu's journey, Ji Wuye still secretly sent people to investigate the matter.

Ji Yihu was arrogant and conceited, believing that no one could possibly harm him.

But Ji Wuye didn't think so; he had to prevent any behavior that might harm his son.

Before the matter could be investigated and resolved, Ji Yihu returned.

Logically speaking, Ji Yihu's return should be a good thing.

But what if a corpse returns?

Ji Yihu is dead.

He was killed.

When Ji Wuye first heard the news, he thought he must have misheard.

However, when he actually saw his son's body, he realized he hadn't misheard.

The face that looked exactly like his own, the familiar figure—it was none other than his most beloved Hu'er, his son Ji Yihu.

Ji Wuye could not accept this reality, yet he had no choice but to accept it.

As a great general of the state of Han, Ji Wuye, who had been involved in countless battles, did not faint from grief like ordinary people, but stubbornly persevered.

Ji Wuye stood in the main hall of the general's mansion, gazing at his son's corpse.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Two figures arrived at the general's mansion one after the other.

"Greetings, General!"

"I've seen the general!"

One was Jiang Chuan, a newly emerged ruthless general of the Nightfall, while the other wore a bamboo hat and a raincoat, his face completely concealed. After his appearance, he carried a fishy smell, whether it was the smell of fish or the smell of fresh blood, it was hard to tell.

The other party was none other than the most mysterious of the Four Fiends of the Night, the Straw-Clad Swordsman.

Jiang Chuan had met the man in the straw raincoat once or twice before, but they hadn't had much interaction.

Unexpectedly, the man in the straw raincoat actually showed up at the general's mansion today. But thinking about it, it's not surprising, given how egregious the nature of what happened this time was.

Ji Wuye ignored Jiang Chuan and the man in the straw raincoat's greetings. He continued to stare at his son's corpse and ordered the two fierce generals who had come here, "Find the murderers who killed Hu'er at all costs. I want them to pay the price."

Jiang Chuan knew that Ji Wuye was angry, so he didn't say much and just nodded in response.

Ji Wuye then said, "Those soldiers are powerless to protect Hu'er; let them go and be buried with Hu'er."

With just this one sentence, the death sentence was handed down to the hundred guards who were protecting Ji Yihu. After they were powerless to protect Ji Yihu and he died, no matter how bravely they fought to capture the murderer's accomplices, they could not change their fate of being severely punished by Ji Wuye.

If they had caught the murderer, that would have been fine, but the problem is, they didn't catch the murderer.

If they are so useless, what's the point of keeping them around?

It is naturally useless.

Neither Jiang Chuan nor the man in the straw raincoat spoke; they simply obeyed Ji Wuye's orders.

Just then, a figure dressed in black feather robes entered the hall.

He is Mo Ya.

Mo Ya came to Ji Wuye's side and reported to him, "General, the interrogation results are in. According to those people, there were two murderers. One of them killed the young general and then escaped from the encirclement first. The other hid himself and fought with them for a while before leaving wounded."

"According to them, the latter has white hair and the weapon he wields is extremely unique. It is not an ordinary longsword. It has a blade on one side and serrations on the other. Only one person can possess such a sword and such hair color."

"That's Wei Zhuang, who's by Han Fei's side!"

"Wei Zhuang!" Ji Wuye uttered the name with deep anger in his voice.

He was no stranger to Wei Zhuang, a mysterious expert who appeared beside Han Fei and helped Han Fei a great deal.

Although according to the results of Mo Ya's interrogation of those soldiers, it was not Wei Zhuang who killed Hu'er, the person who killed Hu'er appeared with Wei Zhuang, and was undoubtedly Wei Zhuang's accomplice.

He didn't know who the person was, but in Ji Wuye's view, as long as Wei Zhuang was captured, the murderer could be found.

Meanwhile, Wei Zhuang and Han Fei are in cahoots.

It goes without saying who the mastermind behind this was: Han Fei.

Of course, because Han Fei was the Ninth Prince, Wei Zhuang couldn't directly confront Han Fei, such as by sending someone to kill him.

But he could find Wei Zhuang first and make Wei Zhuang pay with his life.

And those (good) people around Wei Zhuang, not one of them will escape.

The thought flashed through his mind, and then Ji Wuye issued his third order.

"Notify Blood-Clad Marquis that, regardless of whether his injuries have healed or not, he must prepare for battle."

Ji Wuye said these words in a very stern tone.

Even if it takes all of night, he must bring Wei Zhuang and his gang of murderers to justice. Only in this way can he comfort the spirit of his son, Hu'er, in heaven.

As for the Tide Demoness among the Four Fiends of the Night.

Ji Wuye did not instruct her to make any skin for the time being.

But when necessary, the Tide Fairy can step in.

After receiving the message from Zi Nu, Han Fei quickly arrived at the manor.

Upon arriving here, he saw the injured Wei Zhuang. Before he could even inquire about Wei Zhuang's injuries, he heard some terrible news from Zi Nu.

"Ji Yihu is dead."

Han Fei's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Chapter 152 Ji Wuye, do you want to rebel?

Han Fei was not a smart person in the ordinary sense, because he was smarter than the average smart person.

He considers things not only based on gains and losses, but also on their consequences.

Honglian was forced to marry Ji Yihu by her father, the king. Han Fei was heartbroken and wanted to stop it, but even so, he did not choose the most extreme method.

Wei Zhuang did mention killing Ji Yihu that day. If Ji Yihu died, Honglian would lose her marriage partner, and the marriage would naturally fall through. However, if Ji Yihu really died, it would also anger Ji Wuye.

At that time, the trouble they will face will no longer be Honglian being married off, but... Ji Wuye.

When Ji Wuye is in a state of rage, no one knows what he might do.

This is something Han Fei dares not gamble on.

As Ji Yihu embarked on his journey back to the capital, the wedding drew ever closer. Han Fei, already feeling somewhat distressed, had yet to find a way to break the deadlock. To make matters worse, he received more bad news from Zi Nu.

That means Ji Yihu is dead.

Han Fei's expression changed drastically. He then looked at the injured Wei Zhuang. He had originally wanted to inquire about Wei Zhuang's injuries, but in the current situation, what was there to care about? Wei Zhuang had caused him so much trouble.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, you..."

Based on what Wei Zhuang had said before, and considering the injuries he was currently sustaining, Han Fei concluded that Wei Zhuang had acted in a state of irrationality.

"not me."

Wei Zhuang understood Han Fei's meaning and immediately responded in a deep voice.

He then explained the truth of the matter to Han Fei.

However, Han Fei didn't seem to care much about what Wei Zhuang was saying.

"As you said, Ji Yihu was murdered in Broken Soul Valley, and you were there at the scene, even fighting with Ji Yihu's personal guards. So what's the point of you saying you weren't the murderer?"

"No one cares who the real killer is anymore."

"At least, Ji Wuye won't care."

"He will only kill all the suspects!"

"You, me, and Zi Nu are all doomed."

Wei Zhuang sensed the gravity in Han Fei's words, and his expression immediately turned grim.

Soon, Zhang Liang, another important member of the Quicksand organization, also arrived at the scene.

Upon learning of Ji Yihu's death, Zhang Liang's expression changed drastically, and the group immediately began discussing their next course of action.

With Ji Yihu's death, they will face unprecedented trouble.

Neither the turmoil Tianze caused back then, nor Honglian's betrothal to Ji Yihu, can compare to this.

850296501

Because this time, they will be facing a mad Ji Wuye.

The group discussed it for a short while.
