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

"The general was already injured, so he was accidentally killed by Wei Zhuang."

"The Marquis, although he was injured, is fine and is currently leading men to pursue Wei Zhuang!"

"Impossible!" Mo Ya exclaimed, immediately rejecting the claim. "The Great General's strength is unfathomable; how could he possibly die in an ambush?"

Mo Ya was well aware of Ji Wuye's strength. As Ji Wuye's personal guard, he was more able to appreciate Ji Wuye's terrifying power than ordinary people.

The leader of the white-armored army did not answer Mo Ya's question, but simply stared at him coldly.

Mo Ya felt the other party's cold gaze and gradually realized what was happening.

Even if the general's strength was unfathomable, and even if the general could not have died in the encirclement, at this moment, the general was indeed dead.

Does it matter what the truth is?

unimportant.

With the death of the general, the veil of darkness he had built could collapse at any moment.

No, the night may not collapse.

Because the Four Fiends of Night are still around.

Because Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei is still alive.

Besides being the leader of the Four Fiends of Nightfall, Bai Yifei was also a general in the Korean army who commanded 100,000 troops, second only to the Grand General.

With the general now dead, Bai Yifei will be the biggest beneficiary.

Chapter 164 The Entire Court Was Shocked

Mo Ya seemed to have realized the truth.

The leader of the white-armored army looked at Mo Ya with a strange smile on his lips.

Mo Ya was able to realize this, and so was he.

He couldn't help but think of what he had seen earlier.

When they searched the abandoned village with Ji Wuye's personal guards but found no trace of Wei Zhuang, they returned to report to the Marquis and the General. There, they found the injured Marquis.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that where the Marquis was, a large tree had collapsed, the ground was in a grotesque state, and on the ground lay a corpse. That corpse was none other than General Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye died with his eyes wide open in death, and his long sword lay scattered on the ground not far away.

This was something no one had anticipated.

In such a short time since they left, Ji Wuye has actually died here.

The White Armor Army members all felt that the sky had fallen on South Korea.

The real reason is that over the years, Ji Wuye has accumulated a great deal of prestige in the army. The Korean army only knows General Ji Wuye, but not the King of Han. Later, although Xueyi Hou rose to power and commanded an army of 100,000, the situation was different.

But these white-armored soldiers, as the Marquis's personal guards, knew perfectly well that the Marquis was also under the command of the Grand General.

Immediately afterwards, they heard a speech from the Marquis.

That is, when they went to search for Wei Zhuang's whereabouts, the Marquis and the General were ambushed and killed by Wei Zhuang.

They joined forces against the enemy and ultimately succeeded in repelling Wei Zhuang and his men. However, the general, due to his injuries and weakened state, was killed.

Such a statement.

It sounds absurd and is naturally hard to believe.

Of the dozen or so guards that Ji Wuye brought, some immediately voiced their doubts.

So, how did you, Lord Marquis, respond to such questions?

He didn't offer any explanation at all.

He simply glanced at the white-armored army.

As the Marquis's personal guards, these men of the White Armor Army naturally understood the Marquis's meaning.

After the initial shock, they quickly realized that this was a tremendous opportunity.

How did Ji Wuye die?

It doesn't really matter.

The important thing is that South Korea has lost a great general, but it will soon have a new one.

No one is more suitable to become the new Grand General than the Marquis.

And these guards of the Marquis will also rise in status after the Marquis becomes a Grand General.

Therefore, Ji Wuye was killed by Wei Zhuang.

This is a matter for which there is conclusive evidence.

The other possibilities shouldn't even exist.

The White-Armored Army acted immediately, capturing and killing Ji Wuye, who had dared to question the Marquis.

Because he was eager to capture Wei Zhuang and trusted Bai Yifei too much, Ji Wuye did not bring many personal guards with him when he arrived here; only a dozen or so people followed him.

Bai Yifei's White Armor Army consisted of a full hundred men.

Even though Ji Wuye's personal guards were quite strong, Bai Yifei's personal guards were no less formidable.

Moments later, all of Ji Wuye's personal guards were killed.

The Marquis simply watched these events unfold. After they dealt with Ji Wuye's personal guards, they could feel the Marquis's gaze—a gaze of admiration.

This means they made the right bet.

Afterwards, the Marquis ordered them to send Ji Wuye's body back to the General's Mansion and tell the people there the "truth," which they did as instructed.

Mo Ya was unaware of the specifics of what had happened.

But he was able to recognize some of the harsh truths.

Even if the truth is actually quite horrifying.

But now that the die is cast, he has to start thinking about the future.

Ji Wuye is dead.

Bai Yifei, second only to Ji Wuye in the military and second only to Ji Wuye in the night, would naturally replace Ji Wuye. Even if he guessed the truth, he could not change this fact.

If she wanted to survive, she had no choice but to show her loyalty to Bai Yifei.

"Perhaps it was because the general's earlier injuries had not fully healed that the enemy was able to take advantage of the situation!"

"Wei Zhuang, you truly deserve to die!"

Mo Ya's face showed grief, revealing a deep-seated hatred for Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang first killed the young general Ji Yihu, and before Ji Yihu was even buried, Wei Zhuang killed the general, allowing the father and son to reunite in the afterlife. This man is truly despicable.

Bai Feng was still shocked by Ji Wuye's death, and after hearing Mo Ya's words, she also revealed hatred.

It's obvious that he also hates Wei Zhuang to the core...

If he could find Wei Zhuang, he would definitely kill him to avenge the Great General.

After hearing Mo Ya's words, the leader of the White Armor Army gave Mo Ya a deep look, thinking that the general's personal guard was far too sensible.

……

Bai Yifei ultimately failed to find Wei Zhuang's whereabouts.

He led his men in pursuit for a long time, but still failed.

The South Korean court was quickly thrown into shock once again.

In the middle of the night, King Han was shocked to hear the "bad news." He didn't even have time to sleep and immediately summoned his ministers for a court meeting.

At the start of the court assembly, King Han, with a sorrowful expression, delivered devastating news to his assembled officials: "The Grand General has been murdered..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the civil and military officials in the court changed drastically.

Zhang Kaidi and Han Fei were temporarily detained.

At present, at least most of the ministers in the court are Ji Wuye's people, and only a small number are from Zhang Kaidi's original faction.

Upon hearing this devastating news, this small group of people were initially stunned, but then overjoyed.

Because this is really good news for them.

Ji Wuye was a scourge to the country and its people. They joined Zhang Kaidi's forces in order to eliminate Ji Wuye, but they never expected that Ji Wuye would be killed instead.

However, even though this was good news, they still managed to control their emotions.

Because the officials on Ji Wuye's side were all unable to accept this fact and were deeply saddened.

0.5 The fourth prince, Han Yu, stepped forward and asked the King of Han, "Father, is this news true?"

He was trying hard to suppress his shock.

He had just partnered with Ji Wuye, hoping that Ji Wuye would support him to become the crown prince. Now that Zhang Kaidi and Han Fei had been captured, even if he couldn't control Ji Wuye, the stronger Ji Wuye became, the greater his chances of becoming the crown prince after partnering with him.

Turns out, they were just messing with him!

He had just facilitated Honglian's marriage to Ji Yihu when Ji Yihu was killed, and now Ji Wuye is also dead.
