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

With a sorrowful expression, King Han said to Han Yu, "The news is true. At this moment, the General's body is in the General's mansion. This news was brought back by Marquis Xueyi."

As he spoke, King Han looked toward the doorway.

A figure walked slowly towards them.

Chapter 165 Another Scapegoat

Upon seeing this figure, all the civil and military officials in the court fixed their gazes on him.

The reason is simple: the one who came was Bai Yifei, the Marquis in Blood Robes.

In the South Korean military, Bai Yifei is a very special individual.

If Ji Wuye was the pillar of the Han army, holding the reins of the court, then Bai Yifei was the general who led Han in its external campaigns, expanding its territory. He and Ji Wuye, one defending the land and the other expanding it, were the two highest-ranking figures in the Han army.

Moreover, Bai Yifei is even more special than Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye rose from a lowly retainer to become a great general of the state of Han through a series of fortuitous events.

Bai Yifei, on the other hand, was born into a prestigious family.

His mother was the only female marquis in Korea, and was exceptionally beautiful.

He later died for some reason, and the Bai family declined as a result. It was thought that, like many fallen noble families, they would never recover. However, Bai Yifei was a genius and rose again.

The Battle of Baiyue was the battle that made him famous.

He was ennobled in one battle, a battle in which his white robes were stained red with blood, earning him the title of Marquis of Blood Robes. It was also during these 27 battles that many people kept their distance from him, filled with fear.

When Bai Yifei arrived at the imperial court, many ministers seemed to smell a strong scent of blood.

"Lord Blood-Clad, is the matter concerning the Great General true?"

Many court officials were terrified upon seeing Bai Yifei.

King Han then took the initiative to speak, asking Bai Yifei a question.

Bai Yifei said in a deep voice, "The news is true!"

Immediately, in front of many court officials, he recounted the truth of the matter.

In front of the White-Armored Army, his reasons seemed somewhat evasive and unconvincing, but in the imperial court, his reasons appeared very rigorous.

According to her, that's how it is.

After learning of Ji Yihu's murder, he received a request from the general and dispatched his personal guards, the White Armor Army, to help the general capture Wei Zhuang.

After going through countless hardships, his men finally found Wei Zhuang's location.

So they informed the general.

Unexpectedly, the general was eager to take revenge on Wei Zhuang.

He and the general fell into Wei Zhuang's trap.

Wei Zhuang is a man of mysterious origins and highly skilled methods.

Despite their best efforts to fight back, the general was ultimately killed.

Bai Yifei naturally didn't mention the process.

However, the reason for the general's murder was also understood by many ministers in the court.

That is, the general was killed because of Wei Zhuang's scheme.

It's not that no one thinks about it.

However, given Bai Yifei's previous infamous reputation, they ultimately did not voice their doubts to his face.

This is an even more troublesome figure than General Ji Wuye.

"The death of the Great General has deeply saddened me!"

After listening to Bai Yifei explain the reason for the matter, King Han showed his grief.

This grief is genuine.

Admittedly, in the past, King Han was very wary of General Ji Wuye, because Ji Wuye's power was so great that it seriously threatened his position.

But Ji Wuye really died.

This is not a good thing.

South Korea was weak and frequently suffered invasions from powerful nations.

Whether it was the Qin state, the Chu state, or even the Zhao and Wei states, they would occasionally harass the Han state. This was the helplessness of a weak state. Ji Wuye, as the great general of Han, was the one who protected Han in the past, and that's why Han was safe and sound.

Is he dead now?

What should South Korea do if it is invaded by an enemy country?

Upon hearing what the King of Han said, all the court officials showed expressions of grief.

Bai Yifei's expression was cold and stern as he said to King Han, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely capture the murderer and avenge the Great General."

What else could the King of Han say?

General Ji Wuye is dead.

Right now, all we can do is accept this fact and then avenge the general.

The late-night morning assembly ended, and a new day began.

Xinzheng City remains under martial law.

The city's defense forces sealed off the entire city.

But the atmosphere of the city has changed somewhat.

Because the city's defense forces are no longer under the command of Ji Wuye, but have been taken over by another general in the Korean army, Xueyi Hou.

As for the reason?

It was because General Ji Wuye was murdered.

He... died.

This is something that many people did not expect or anticipate.

Just a day ago, General Ji Wuye was still aggressive, sealing off the entire city and trying to find the murderer of his son Ji Yihu. But in just one day, things have changed dramatically. Now, Bai Yifei has led the city's defense forces to avenge General Ji Wuye.

In Xinzheng City, many ordinary people were astonished by what had happened.

But since things have come to this, they have no choice but to accept it.

In the southern part of the city, within the manor.

Wei Zhuang was still recovering from his injuries, and during the process, he would occasionally wipe the sword in his hand.

The Shark Tooth Sword is known as the Demon Sword.

Wei Zhuang was once proud of obtaining this precious sword.

However, now he began to doubt himself, wondering if he was worthy of this sword.

Because his strength is too weak.

It is precisely because of its own weakness that so many tragedies have occurred.

Having witnessed Ji Yihu's death and being powerless to stop it, Ji Wuye was driven to madness.

He could only let Han Fei be captured by Ji Wuye.

Then, after finally preparing for a desperate gamble to assassinate Ji Wuye, he couldn't even manage to do that.

Watching Zi Nu rush towards Ji Wu Ye like a moth to a flame.

Now that Zi Nu has not returned, she is probably dead.

Wei Zhuang has made a decision: the most important thing right now is to recover from his injuries. Once he's healed, he'll go find Ji Wuye and settle the score. Either he lives, or Ji Wuye lives.

Only one of them can survive.

Just as Wei Zhuang made up his mind.

Zhang Liang came here once again.

Earlier, Zi Nu had actually warned Zhang Liang not to come here unless necessary.

But Zhang Liang didn't seem to heed Zi Nu's words.

"What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Zhang Liang, Wei Zhuang asked with a cold expression.

He was in a very bad mood because of Zi Nu's situation.

"I've come to tell Mr. Wei Zhuang something." Zhang Liang brought another message to Wei Zhuang, but this time it wasn't bad news, but good news.

Wei Zhuang gestured for Zhang Liang to continue.

Zhang Liang said, "Ji Wuye is dead."

Wei Zhuang's pupils contracted, thinking he had misheard.

Then he realized that he hadn't misheard; Ji Wuye really was dead.
