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

Jiang Chuan doesn't actually know how to play Go.

After all, Go is quite complicated, and just figuring out the rules is a hassle. He prefers the simpler game of Gomoku to Gomoku.

Chess is also a good option, since the rules are simple and easy to learn.

At this very moment, he was using a Go board to play Gomoku with Ru Shuang, passing the time in this way.

Even though Ji Wuye issued an order to capture the murderer Wei Zhuang at Ji Wuye's residence, issuing an order is one thing, and whether it is carried out is another.

In any case, Jiang Chuan didn't take Ji Wuye's words seriously.

More than helping Ji Wuye find Wei Zhuang's whereabouts, he was more interested in how Wei Zhuang and his group would handle the current situation.

The message has been sent back.

In the imperial court, Ji Wuye detained Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi on the grounds that they were both suspects.

Although King Han was a king, he dared not make any rash moves in the face of the furious Ji Wuye, and adopted an attitude of appeasement.

This is not surprising.

27 In the past, although King Han An liked to play power games and maintain a balance of power, he himself did not actually have the ability to completely control Ji Wuye. It was precisely because Ji Wuye was so powerful and because he knew how terrifying Ji Wuye was that he secretly supported Zhang Kaidi to oppose Ji Wuye.

Once Ji Wuye truly disregards the laws of the land and acts recklessly, Zhang Kaidi alone will not be able to subdue him.

Even King An of Han himself was incapable.

Because Ji Wuye was the great general of the state of Han, commanding a large number of troops, after so many years of management, the army of Han only knew of the great general Ji Wuye, but not the king of Han.

If Ji Wuye really decides to rebel, the King of Han will not be able to bear the consequences.

In this situation, to prevent Ji Wuye from rebelling, the King of Han could only lower his bottom line again and again.

For Ji Wuye, detaining Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi was not the end, but merely the beginning.

Everyone suspected of killing Ji Yihu will not escape.

"Is my husband thinking about the quicksand?"

As Ru Shuang listened to Jiang Chuan's soft mutterings, she placed a chess piece next to Jiang Chuan's piece, blocking Jiang Chuan's five-piece formation.

Jiang Chuan nodded. "Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi have been arrested. Ji Wuye is convinced that Wei Zhuang is the murderer and is doing everything he can to find Wei Zhuang's whereabouts."

“If Wei Zhuang were alone, he could flee thousands of miles away if he missed his first attack, so he would naturally not be afraid of the angry Ji Wuye.”

"But unfortunately, that's not the case; he also has people he cares about."

"Han Fei, Princess Honglian, Zi Nu, and Zi Lanxuan are all people he cares about."

"It was precisely because of these people he cared about that he chose to help Han Fei and hinder Ji Yihu's return to court, thus plunging himself into a quagmire from which he could not extricate himself."

Even though the quagmire that Wei Zhuang was stuck in was created by Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan at this moment was like an outsider, talking eloquently from the perspective of a bystander.

"Although Zilan Pavilion was burned down by fire, all the people inside are still alive. In the past, Ji Wuye might have been too lazy to search for those people because Zilan Pavilion no longer existed, but now it's different. Now that he has determined that Wei Zhuang is the murderer, he will do everything he can to find Wei Zhuang's whereabouts."

"Those people are the clues..."

Jiang Chuan spoke calmly, then revealed the latest intelligence he had obtained: "After the destruction of Zilan Pavilion, Zi Nu scattered many of the maids inside throughout Xinzheng to help her gather intelligence. However, Xinzheng is Xinzheng under the cover of night, and now some people have been recognized and subsequently captured."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before Ji Wuye finds out where Wei Zhuang and the others are."

Still the same problem.

How will Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu deal with the current situation?

Jiang Chuan was very curious.

He couldn't help but think of the scene in the original story where Wei Zhuang killed Ji Wuye on the night of Ji Wuye and Honglian's wedding.

At that time, Wei Zhuang had experienced Han Fei's death in Qin, and his strength had reached its peak. Even so, killing Ji Wuye was extremely dangerous.

Is Wei Zhuang really capable of killing Ji Wuye now?

Jiang Chuan had some doubts.

He was unaware that Wei Zhuang had been surrounded and injured by Ji Yihu's personal guards.

……

In the manor.

Zhang Liang learned some extremely bad news from Zi Nu.

The maids of Zilan Pavilion have been captured by Ji Wuye's men.

"That is to say?"

“It won’t be long before Ji Wuye’s men find this place,” Zi Nu said in a deep voice, responding to Zhang Liang.

"So what are you planning to do? Should we relocate?" Zhang Liang asked.

The current situation is really terrible for them.

Han Fei and his grandfather were both arrested.

Even though Zhang Liang was very clever, he really couldn't figure out how to break the deadlock at this point.

"Simply running away won't solve the problem."

Wei Zhuang spoke, his tone carrying a hint of determination.

"What does Mr. Wei Zhuang plan to do?" Zhang Liang looked at Wei Zhuang. He actually respected this disciple of Guigu, who was both literate and martial, a true all-rounder.

Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice, "At this moment, we only have one choice in front of us."

"That is, to kill Ji Wuye!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang was startled.

Wei Zhuang, however, did not think there was anything wrong with what he said and continued, "Ji Yihu is dead. Ji Wuye has gone mad in order to avenge his son. Everyone suspected of killing Ji Yihu has become his target for revenge."

"King Han is weak and obviously does not dare to stop Ji Wuye from acting. Instead, he intends to settle things peacefully, which is why Han Fei and your grandfather were detained."

“This is just the beginning.”

"If we let Ji Wuye continue his rampage, we will all die."

"Therefore, in order to avoid death, we can only send Ji Wuye to his death as well, so that father and son can be reunited in the underworld."

Zhang Liang was shocked to hear Wei Zhuang say such a thing, and was stunned by Wei Zhuang's madness. But then he had to admit that this seemed to be the only way.

Since we can't solve the problem, we should find a way to get rid of the person who caused it.

Ji Wuye was the beginning of all the trouble, the root cause of all the problems.

If we could kill Ji Wuye.

Then all problems will be solved.

But is it really possible to do such a thing?

Unlike Han Fei, who strictly adhered to the laws of the country, Zhang Liang was also someone who could disregard the law and discipline in order to achieve his goals.

Chapter 156 Purple Flames

Zhang Liang suddenly came to his senses and asked Wei Zhuang, "Mr. Wei Zhuang, are you planning to assassinate Ji Wuye?"

"But, you..."

He looked at Wei Zhuang, remembering the fact that Wei Zhuang had been seriously injured.

In order to break through Ji Yihu's personal guards, Wei Zhuang did his best. With more than a hundred guards, it was already very impressive that he was able to break through. Getting injured was inevitable.

"I am injured, but I am not dead yet."

"If we don't kill Ji Wuye, death will be all that awaits us."

"This is our only chance of survival!"

Wei Zhuang said these words in a resolute tone.

Looking at Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang suddenly felt a pang of self-reproach.

"Damn it, if only I were stronger."

If he were strong enough, there would be no need for the injured Mr. Wei Zhuang to take such a risk.

Despite Han Fei being his elder brother and Zhang Kaidi being his grandfather, he was forced to place his hopes on the injured Wei Zhuang for the sake of these two people.

If he possessed the same strength as Mr. Wei Zhuang, he could easily do this himself.

For the first time in his life, Zhang Liang felt powerless.

Not only were they powerless to reverse the situation in terms of strategy, but they also realized their own weakness in terms of force.

"Let me go."

At this moment, Zi Nu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

Zhang Liang and Wei Zhuang both turned their gazes to Zi Nu at the same time.

Feeling the gazes of the two men, Zi Nu smiled brightly, "Don't mistake me for some weak woman."

"No matter what, I am also a member of Quicksand."

"The maid of Zilan Pavilion has been captured by Ji Wuye. How can I sit idly by?"
