Nongyu's gaze toward Jiang Chuan grew increasingly complicated, but she ultimately said nothing, because from the moment she met Jiang Chuan, she knew he was not a good person.

In fact, for the sake of the person she cares about, she has to please Jiang Chuan even more.

It wasn't just about her mother; now, upon learning that her sister Zi Nu had also fallen into Jiang Chuan's hands...

Nongyu felt the weight of her responsibilities more and more.

So, Nongyu mustered some of her strength and took the initiative to serve Jiang Chuan, who still had the energy left.

……

Each time Jiang Chuan visited the palace, he would expend considerable energy before leaving.

I wonder what the King of Han will think when he finds out about this.

Jiang Chuan clearly treated his palace as a place of pleasure.

Of course, if the King of Han knew about this, what he would want to do even more would be to kill Jiang Chuan.

Therefore, for his own safety, Jiang Chuan could only try his best to keep the secret and not let the King of Han know about it.

Back in the general's mansion.

Since Zi Nu had already been mentioned in front of Nong Yu, and Nong Yu had also shown her determination to protect Zi Nu through her actions, Jiang Chuan naturally couldn't let Nong Yu down.

He went to see Zi Nu.

Zi Nu is currently being held in a secret dungeon in the General's Mansion.

When Jiang Chuan first took over the General's Mansion and learned about Zi Nu's situation, he was actually quite surprised.

He thought Zi Nu was dead.

After all, he assassinated Ji Wuye in public and severely injured him.

Despite his anger, Ji Wuye managed to suppress his rage and did not kill Zi Nu on the spot.

It can only be said that Ji Wuye's ability to hold such a position demonstrates his capacity to tolerate what others cannot, and his shrewdness is quite profound.

Of course, that's all in the past.

Ji Wuye is dead; the current master of the General's Mansion is Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan had no grudge against Zi Nu, so naturally he couldn't kill her.

It's possible to release her, but it's also clearly impossible to release Zi Nu.

Letting go of Zi Nu will only bring trouble to myself.

They couldn't kill him, and they couldn't release him, so they could only imprison him.

Of course, things like torture and tormenting Zi Nu should be avoided.

In addition to using the Meridian-Severing Technique to seal Zi Nu's power, Jiang Chuan even sent people to treat Zi Nu's injuries.

When Jiang Chuan arrived at the secret cell where Zi Nu was imprisoned, he saw that apart from her pale face, everything else was perfectly fine.

"It seems you're recovering quickly."

Jiang Chuan had already disguised himself as Bai Yifei, and with a cold face, he looked at Zi Nu and said in a deep voice.

"Bai Yifei, what exactly do you want to do?"

Because of the assassination attempt on Ji Wuye, Zi Nu no longer bothered to pretend in front of Bai Yifei. In the past, she was a shrewd and sophisticated woman, but now she directly revealed her true self.

Bai Yifei imprisoned her but did not kill her, and even had someone heal her wounds, which made Zi Nu think deeply and feel that the other party had other purposes.

Chapter 176 It is truly rare for someone who, despite being in the dust of the world, still retains his primordial yin!

"I've heard of your reputation."

Jiang Chuan, wearing Bai Yifei's face and imitating Bai Yifei's tone of voice, looked at Zi Nu and said in a deep voice, "Many years ago, you appeared alone in Xinzheng, gathered many beautiful orphaned girls, and established Zi Lan Xuan."

“Zilanxuan is different from ordinary brothels; the women there only sell their art, not their bodies.”

"For this reason, Zilan Pavilion has been criticized a lot. In fact, some powerful and wealthy people have taken a liking to the women there and planned to force themselves on them."

"But you somehow persuaded some of the elders in the royal family to grant Zilan Pavilion protection. In the following period, you continued to cultivate your network of relationships, and Zilan Pavilion grew stronger and stronger, becoming the most famous brothel in the entire Xinzheng. Unlike ordinary brothels that only dealt in prostitution, Zilan Pavilion was exceptionally elegant, and many powerful and wealthy people liked to discuss business there."

"Unfortunately, all of this came to an abrupt end a few months ago!"

Jiang Chuan's sharp gaze fell on Zi Nu. "A person with a special identity came to Korea. Zi Lan Xuan accepted that person, but it also brought Zi Lan Xuan a devastating disaster."

"A fire destroyed Zilanxuan, which you had built up over many years!"

Zi Nu listened quietly to the person in front of her without saying a word. She was not surprised that the person in front of her knew these things, because the shadow of the Night was behind the assassination of Young Master Shang by Luo Wang.

"After Zilan Pavilion was destroyed by fire, all of you except Han Fei and Zhang Liang disappeared. I thought you were all dead."

"I never imagined that you would choose to hide in the shadows and secretly do such a big thing."

"Killing Ji Yihu and enraging Ji Wuye, you really dare to do such a thing!"

Jiang Chuan looked at Zi Nu with a strange gaze.

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu finally stopped. She said in a deep voice to the person in front of her, "The deaths of Ji Yihu and Ji Wuye are all related to you, aren't they?"

Zi Nu knew very well that Wei Zhuang had not killed Ji Yihu.

According to Wei Zhuang, someone killed Ji Yihu while he was present and framed him for it.

However, since Ji Wuye was unaware of the reasons behind it, and given that Ji Yihu died in the delicate place of Broken Soul Valley, the furious Ji Wuye immediately concluded that Wei Zhuang was the murderer. Afterwards, he first arrested Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi, and then launched a massive search for the whereabouts of the people from Zilan Pavilion, intending to find them.

Her eventual decision to assassinate Ji Wuye was, in fact, a matter of necessity.

At that time, Han Fei was captured, and Wei Zhuang was seriously injured.

The people of Zilanxuan were all captured by Ji Wuye's men. If she wanted to break the deadlock, her only option was to kill Ji Wuye.

Either Ji Wuye dies, or they all die.

It can only be said that she underestimated Ji Wuye's strength and ultimately failed.

Later, she learned from Mo Ya, who was guarding her, that Bai Yifei had found Wei Zhuang's whereabouts. She was worried about Wei Zhuang for a time, but instead of hearing the news of Wei Zhuang's death, she heard the news of Ji Wuye's death.

Afterwards, Bai Yifei became the new Grand General, and the General's Mansion changed hands.

At this point, Zi Nu reviewed the events and realized that she understood everything. She knew who was behind the deaths of Ji Yihu and Ji Wuye.

The mastermind behind all of this is probably Bai Yifei.

Because Bai Yifei is the biggest beneficiary.

Ji Wuye's death was also due to Bai Yifei informing him that he had found Wei Zhuang's whereabouts.

"Why do you say that? I am deeply saddened by the death of the Great General."

Jiang Chuan looked at Zi Nu in front of him and spoke calmly.

Zi Nu, however, looked unconvinced.

Jiang Chuan didn't offer much explanation, but continued, "You were able to build such a large Zilan Pavilion from scratch, which shows that you are a very capable and shrewd person."

"Now that Ji Wuye is dead, I am the new Great General."

"Ji Wuye wants to kill you as soon as possible, but I am different. There is no deep hatred between us. I wonder if you would be willing to serve me?"

Zi Nu gradually understood Bai Yifei's purpose; he had come to recruit her.

That's really... interesting.

Night fell over Korea. In order to fight against the darkness and change Korea, she and Han Fei and others established Quicksand, just to tear open this veil of night.

Even today, the quicksand has not dispelled the darkness; in fact, its situation is extremely difficult.

Unexpectedly, the night turned around and attracted quicksand.

"Don't you care about my past, about my origins?" Zi Nu said to Bai Yifei with a slight upturn of her lips.

Jiang Chuan said, "Why should I care? I've already said that there's no deep-seated hatred between us."

"Moreover, you are indeed a very capable person."

"As for your assassination attempt on Ji Wuye, and your past actions of opposing Ji Wuye alongside Wei Zhuang and Han Fei, I don't really care. After all, Ji Wuye is already dead."

This is the most important thing.

Ji Wuye is dead.

Everything about Ji Wuye can be put to the next page.

However, that's the logic.

Zi Nu still couldn't pledge allegiance to Bai Yifei.

Because this is... betrayal.

Choosing to pledge allegiance to Bai Yifei would be tantamount to abandoning the dreams that led to the creation of Quicksand.

They created quicksand to change the country and tear through the night.

Joining Bai Yifei's cause is tantamount to colluding with him and joining the Nightfall.

If Zi Nu were alone, she might make this choice in order to survive, because she is not from the state of Han. But Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang and others are from the state of Han, and their dream is to change the state of Han.

When she was in the Yin-Yang School, Zi Nu didn't have many friends.
