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

"Wei Zhuang, you should just stay here and recover from your injuries."

"As for Zhang Liang, you are still young and represent the future of Quicksand. For now, just wait here for news of Ji Wuye's death."

Zi Nu spoke to the two people, one after the other.

Wei Zhuang's brows furrowed.

He knew a bit about Zi Nu's strength; among women, she was not weak.

But is such strength enough to kill Ji Wuye?

It should be noted that Ji Wuye is the strongest general in Korea in the past century.

Ji Wuye's rise to this position was not accidental.

Even at his peak, Wei Zhuang wasn't confident he could kill Ji Wuye, let alone now that he was injured. But to break the deadlock, he had no choice but to give it a try.

Before even announcing his intention to kill Ji Wuye, Wei Zhuang was already prepared to die.

It's nothing more than death.

But if successful, it might change the whole of South Korea.

To his surprise, Zi Nu volunteered to step forward.

Seriously, are we going to let a woman take such a risk?

"Don't worry, I'll come back alive, and I'm not as weak as you think!"

Zi Nu remained calm and composed.

She knew what Wei Zhuang was thinking, and met his gaze calmly.

Wei Zhuang remained silent, simply watching Zi Nu quietly.

He had known Zi Nu for many years. He had met her by chance when he was young and came out of that cold palace. At that time, Zi Nu looked the same as she does now. When he graduated from Guigu and returned to Xinzheng, Zi Nu still looked the same. In addition, Zi Nu also ran Zi Lan Xuan and secretly trained the women of Zi Lan Xuan to become spies and collect all kinds of intelligence.

There is no doubt that Zi Nu holds many secrets.

But as a friend, Wei Zhuang had no interest in exploring these secrets.

Even if Zi Nu's true strength might be very strong, so what?

As Zi Nu said, she was a member of the Quicksand and could not remain uninvolved.

It's as if I'm not a member of Quicksand.

"No, you can't go!"

Wei Zhuang's words carried an undeniable air of authority.

His attitude became extremely firm.

Zi Nu still wore a faint smile, a smile that contained her own unwavering determination. "What if I really insist on going?"

The injured Wei Zhuang suddenly exuded a powerful aura.

Zi Nu's smile gradually faded, and a mysterious yet powerful aura emanated from her.

In a daze, Wei Zhuang felt as if he were in a sea of ​​fire, with a scorching heat sweeping over him. He could even vaguely see flames swirling behind Zi Nu.

That was a purple flame.

……

In its heyday, Zilan Pavilion housed many women.

Among them were singers, musicians, and maids.

But these are just their outward identities. In reality, they are all spies trained by Zi Nu. Back when Zi Lan Xuan was still around, they mingled with high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants, extracting all sorts of information from them.

Although Zilan Pavilion was just a place of pleasure, Zi Nu had indeed learned many secrets from those powerful and influential people, and by befriending them, she had created a very powerful network of relationships. Even Ji Wuye would not rashly make a move against Zilan Pavilion under normal circumstances.

However, that was in the past.

When Prince Ying Zheng arrived in Xinzheng, Han, he attracted the pursuit of the Luo Wang organization, and Zi Lan Xuan was also destroyed in a fire.

Zi Nu had considered rebuilding Zi Lan Xuan, but now was not the right time.

Before rebuilding Zilan Pavilion, she scattered many of the women from Zilan Pavilion throughout Xinzheng to act as eyes and ears, monitoring the night.

She wanted to wait for the right time to rebuild Zilan Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, a sudden accident prevented her from ever rebuilding Zilan Pavilion again.

Even now, the women of Zilan Pavilion have been arrested one after another by the Night Shadows.

Because Ji Wuye's goal has changed from simply eliminating dissidents (okay, okay), to killing anyone suspected without mercy.

Zi Nu of Zi Lan Xuan, Wei Zhuang, and Han Fei are all close friends, making them suspects.

Perhaps Wei Zhuang could go and recuperate until he is back to his peak condition before attempting to assassinate Ji Wuye.

However, with Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi being arrested and detained by Ji Wuye, Wei Zhuang could no longer afford to delay and had no more time to allow him to recover from his injuries and pregnancy.

In front of the General's Mansion.

A slender woman with purple hair walked slowly and gracefully towards them.

It was none other than Zi Nu.

When she arrived at the entrance of the General's Mansion, two more figures appeared and blocked her way. These two figures were Ji Wuye's guards, Mo Ya and Bai Feng from the Hundred Birds Organization.

Without a doubt, Mo Ya and Bai Feng recognized Zi Nu. Upon seeing her, their gazes simultaneously turned cold, accompanied by a hint of surprise and uncertainty, as if they hadn't expected Zi Nu to come here on her own initiative.

Chapter 157 The Purple Maiden's Decision

"Oh, isn't this Miss Zi Nu, the owner of Zi Lan Xuan?"

"After Zilan Pavilion was destroyed by fire, Miss Zinu disappeared for a long time. I didn't expect her to show up today. What brings you to the General's Mansion?"

Mo Ya and Bai Feng watched as Zi Nu arrived at the General's Mansion.

Finally, it was Mo Ya who spoke first, teasing Zi Nu.

Although he is the leader of all birds, Mo Ya is not actually cold-hearted in his daily life; in fact, he is quite easygoing and has a touch of cynicism.

On the contrary, Bai Feng is an extremely serious person.

Zi Nu did not relax because of Mo Ya's teasing. She could feel that when she arrived, Mo Ya and Bai Feng's auras had already landed on her, locking onto her and preventing her from escaping.

She didn't make any jokes because of Mo Ya's words. Facing the two of them, she simply said, "I know where Wei Zhuang is!"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ya and Bai Feng's eyes immediately sharpened.

Young General Ji Yihu was murdered in Broken Soul Valley. The murderer was with Wei Zhuang. It can be said that as long as Wei Zhuang is found, the murderer will be found.

Now, the General has sealed off the entire city, constantly searching for the people from Zilan Pavilion. Is his purpose really Zilan Pavilion 303? No, not at all. His real purpose is to find Wei Zhuang's whereabouts.

Besides, the general may have also used this incident to eliminate one of his political opponents.

Imprisoning Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi, two political enemies, was just the beginning.

They had only found a few former singers from the Zilan Pavilion today and captured them. Before they could even interrogate them, Zilan Pavilion's former owner, Zinu, came to the General's Mansion gate on her own initiative. This was truly an unexpected event.

What's even more surprising is that Zi Nu came here to report Wei Zhuang.

Mo Ya immediately glanced at Bai Feng.

Bai Feng understood Mo Ya's meaning and, without saying a word, used her movement technique to leave and report to the Great General.

Meanwhile, Mo Ya continued to keep an eye on Zi Nu.

It didn't take a while.

Dull footsteps sounded.

A figure clad in armor and wielding a long sword hurried over. Upon seeing Zi Nu, he asked coldly, "Where is Wei Zhuang?"

Zi Nu did not answer the question directly, but instead bowed slightly to Ji Wuye and said, "Greetings, General!"

"I'm asking you, where is Wei Zhuang?" Ji Wuye's words were filled with barely suppressed anger. After learning that there was a clue to Wei Zhuang's whereabouts, he thought of his dead son.

He wished he could rush to Wei Zhuang's side immediately and tear him to pieces.

No, tearing him to pieces would be too lenient on Wei Zhuang.

He wanted to torture Wei Zhuang severely, only in this way could he eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"General, please come closer so I can tell you Wei Zhuang's whereabouts."

A faint smile appeared on Zi Nu's lips.

Upon hearing this, Mo Ya and Bai Feng both frowned and looked at Zi Nu warily.

Ji Wuye showed no sign of nervousness, as he was fully confident in his abilities. Even though the woman in purple was rumored to be skilled at flirting and seducing men, she was, in the end, just a woman.

He wanted to see what tricks the other party was playing.

Ji Wuye stepped forward and walked to within five steps of Zi Nu.

At that distance, if it were Jing Ke, he certainly wouldn't have missed, right?!

In the original story, Jing Ke's special skill was called the Five-Step Killing Sword, which was said to be able to kill a hundred people within five steps. It is unknown whether he came within five steps of Ying Zheng when he assassinated him in Xianyang Palace.
