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

He then added, "Now I seem to understand why you, as a member of the Net, have sided with Nightfall."

The man in the straw raincoat said, "Lü Buwei was dismissed as prime minister, and the King of Qin regained control of the Luo Wang organization. Because of the Luo Wang's assassination attempt on him, he deeply resented it and has recently launched a large-scale purge. Although I am in Han, I am also involved in that incident..."

"So, you're prepared to completely submit to me and seek my protection?" Jiang Chuan asked, then added, "But why should I protect you?"

The man in the straw raincoat had clearly considered this possibility, and he offered his bargaining chips.

"Many people were implicated in the King of Qin's purge of the Luo Net. If the General is willing, all of these people can become members of the Night Shadow."

"Interesting!" Jiang Chuan smiled immediately upon hearing this.

……

"Is my husband really prepared to accept the services of the man in the straw raincoat and take over those people from the Net?"

Back at the general's mansion, Jiang Chuan told Ru Shuang what had happened, and Ru Shuang asked Jiang Chuan a question in return.

"why not?"

"Admittedly, the Net's infiltration of Nightfall was driven by certain motives, but conversely, their joining Nightfall can indeed strengthen Nightfall's power. As for whether they will later try to turn the tables and usurp Nightfall's control, that's a matter for later."

"At least for now, this is a powerful force that can be utilized and driven."

Jiang Chuan saw everything very clearly.

Then he pointed out the most crucial point.

"We are merely passersby; what do the rise and fall of the night have to do with us?"

Chapter 186 The Wedding Day

A passerby.

This is how Jiang Chuan sees himself.

His and Ru Shuang's initial purpose in coming to South Korea was simply to survive.

Ru Shuang was a top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization. Due to certain experiences, she developed the idea of ​​living for herself and decided to betray the Luo Wang organization. Later, on the border of Wei, she encountered Jiang Chuan.

From this day forward, the two of them became a community of shared destiny, bound together by life and death.

Ru Shuang's fate changed the moment she met Jiang Chuan.

Similarly, for Jiang Chuan, after transmigrating, he also avoided a mediocre life thanks to Ru Shuang, and began a wonderful life full of rapid progress.

Upon arriving in Korea, I joined the night.

Jiang Chuan's goal was to wait for Ying Zheng's arrival, provided that Ying Zheng actually came to the State of Han, just as in the original story.

Later, he gradually replaced the Jade Tiger, and waited for Ying Zheng's arrival, where he received Ying Zheng's promise.

Their own strength also improved rapidly during this process.

The Azure Tide Demoness, one of the Four Fiends of the Night, became his woman. He himself was also one of the Four Fiends of the Night. However, it was after he killed Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei that his ambition truly began to grow.

Bai Yifei's purpose was known to Madam Mingzhu a long time ago.

After years of scheming, Bai Yifei secretly did many things that were outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, all in order to replace Ji Wuye.

Jiang Chuan initially only used these matters as leverage to blackmail Madam Mingzhu.

But after Bai Yifei died, he changed his mind.

Why can't I replace Bai Yifei? Why can't I replace Ji Wuye?

Ultimately, seeking a promise from King Ying Zheng of Qin was merely a tactic employed when their power was weak.

As Jiang Chuan grew stronger, he realized more and more that some things cannot be relied on others; one must rely on oneself.

As long as he possesses sufficient strength for self-defense, even if the King of Qin's promise is useless and the Luo Wang continues to cause him trouble, he can easily deal with it.

This power refers to both individual power and the influence they wield.

If Jiang Chuan is strong enough, he can kill as many Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) members as they come.

But clearly, he doesn't have that kind of place yet.

The Net of Deception has always been full of cunning schemes.

Since individual strength is insufficient to completely deal with all conspiracies, the only option is to find ways to increase one's own strength.

Nightfall became Jiang Chuan's means of self-defense.

In the process of controlling the night, since the Net has taken the initiative to come to him, he doesn't mind accepting some of the Net's services.

Ultimately, in his view, these were all just external forces.

He himself was merely a passerby.

As his strength grows, he can no longer be bound by the darkness of night.

It won't be so easy for Luo Wang to seize control of the nest under the cover of night.

Before this, he was the master of everything.

In the time that followed, men in straw raincoats moved about, and many people from the Qin state joined the night.

The Nightfall organization wasn't as meticulous as the Net, which categorized assassins into eight classes: Heavenly Killers, Earthly Demons, and Monsters.

Among them, demons and monsters are the lowest-ranking assassins.

But the Heavenly Killer and Earthly Destroyer are the elite of the Net.

Among the people introduced by the man in the straw raincoat, there were naturally no top-tier assassins, but there were a few top-tier killers, as well as quite a few killers of the Earth and Absolute ranks.

Assassins of this caliber are just cannon fodder; there's no need to lure them into the night.

It's not surprising; a low-level assassin of this caliber wouldn't be involved in the things Lü Buwei did back then.

Only assassins with some skill, but not particularly strong, who were involved with Lü Buwei and didn't have enough value, were purged by the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

"!?" No matter what, these people are not weak.

Jiang Chuan, posing as Bai Yifei, met with these people through the introduction of the man in the raincoat, and then formally brought them into the Nightfall organization, promising them great benefits.

These people were also expressing their loyalty to Jiang Chuan.

As for what he was really thinking, Jiang Chuan didn't care much.

At least for now, with King Ying Zheng of Qin purging the Luo Wang (a powerful organization), they have nowhere to hide within it, and the night is their only option.

Time passed once more.

Just as night was rapidly falling.

The wedding date set by the King of Han finally arrived.

The Book of Changes says: "There is heaven and earth, then there are all things, then there are men and women; there are men and women, then there are husbands and wives; there are husbands and wives, then there are fathers and sons; there are fathers and sons, then there are rulers and subjects; there are rulers and subjects, then there are superiors and inferiors; there are superiors and inferiors, then there are proper rites and righteousness."

It can be said that the organization of society must be based on the relationship between husband and wife.

The reason why King Han married Princess Honglian to Marquis Xueyi Bai Yifei was to maintain this foundation, so that the relationship could evolve from husband and wife to ruler and subject, and so that Marquis Xueyi Bai Yifei could wholeheartedly serve him.

Otherwise, although Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei has become a great general, he has no ties to him. If he is interested in power, that's fine, but if he is not, when the country is in peril, he can abandon everything and flee at any time to save his life.

If Bai Yifei escapes, who will protect South Korea? Who will safeguard the safety of the King of Han?

The King of Han would naturally not allow such a possibility to exist.

Therefore, he married his daughter to Bai Yifei in order to maintain the relationship between the ruler and his subject. Ideally, Honglian would give birth to a child for Bai Yifei. Once they had a child, Bai Yifei and he would be in the same boat.

On the day Princess Honglian got married, many people came to her to give her their blessings.

Lady Mingzhu, Consort Hu, and many other concubines in the palace.

Han Yu, these are her brothers.

Honglian accepted their blessings, but deep down she still felt a little disappointed because she hadn't seen the most important person in her life.

Her beloved brother, Han Fei, was still imprisoned in a cell by Zhao.

However, Honglian quickly reaffirmed her resolve.

Even if it's just for her brother's sake, what's wrong with marrying Bai Yifei?

To show his high regard for Honglian, the King of Han held a grand wedding for his daughter. Although it wasn't as extravagant as the "ten-mile-long red bridal procession," the entire city of Xinzheng was indeed enveloped in a festive atmosphere.

This joyous occasion also dispelled the gloom cast by the numerous terrifying events that had previously occurred in Xinzheng.

Weddings, also known as twilight weddings, are usually held at dusk.

In the afternoon, Jiang Chuan, disguised as Bai Yifei, rode a tall horse to the palace. With the King of Han reluctant to part with her, he took Princess Honglian away and then went to the General's Mansion.

Jiang Chuan was treated like a tool in this process.

Although the wedding was lively, the one that left the deepest impression on him was probably his wedding with Ru Shuang in the mountain village of Wei.

Chapter 187 A Night of Passion

Because Bai Yifei had no relatives, the wedding process was not long after Princess Honglian was brought to the General's Mansion. Princess Honglian, dressed in red, was sent to the bridal chamber.

As for things like teasing the newlyweds in the bridal chamber...

If it were an ordinary person with many relatives and friends, perhaps someone would do such a thing.
