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

But just a few months ago.

The curtain fell on the Qin state's net of entrapment. A man came before the man in the straw raincoat and met with him, causing the man's thoughts to change somewhat.

Because of his experience of being assassinated by the Luo Wang organization in Xinzheng, King Ying Zheng of Qin deeply resented it and was determined to reform it.

After the Luo Wang (a powerful online network of government) was dismantled, the person who took over the Luo Wang in place of the King of Qin was Zhao Gao, a eunuch who was deeply trusted by King Ying Zheng of Qin.

The person the man in the straw raincoat saw was related to the other party.

The man came before him and invited him to rejoin the Luo Wang organization. The Luo Wang organization also included those who had been forced to flee to Korea and join the Nightfall organization because of the Luo Wang purge.

Under normal circumstances, these people were all related to Lü Buwei in the past, and the Net would hardly tolerate them.

But now, a golden opportunity lies before them.

That is, to join Qin's net under the guise of night.

First came the snare, then the night, and then the snare again.

By spending the night under the cover of darkness, they could conveniently erase all traces of their original affiliation with Lü Buwei.

If the man in the straw raincoat can bring all these people into the Net, he can obtain a very high status within the Net.

This was the promise given to him by the person who came before him.

After being purged, Luo Wang is in dire need of rebuilding and now is the time to recruit more people and expand its influence.

Clearly, the South Korean Nightfall organization has become one of the targets that Luo Wang intends to acquire.

However, all of this has one premise.

That's him, the man in the straw raincoat, who can control the night.

So, can he control the night?

The man in the straw raincoat believed that he could do it if given enough time.

Because the Nightfall of today, with the addition of many members of the Luo Wang organization, is no longer the Nightfall it once was. These people are the foundation of his confidence in usurping the Nightfall...

Admittedly, these people don't hold very high positions in Nightfall now, but they were once elites of the Net. Given time, they will eventually become high-ranking members of Nightfall.

If there are enough people like this, he can effectively block out the night.

In addition, the people from the Net brought some news to the Straw-Clothed Man.

This led the man in the straw raincoat to some unrealistic speculations.

After the King of Qin seized power and cleansed the night, he issued a pardon within the net of the King of Qin.

He pardoned the Heavenly First-Class Jingni, who had once been caught in a trap.

Jing Ni was once a top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization, but for some reason, she defected from the organization and has been a target of their wanted manhunt ever since.

After the King of Qin regained control of the Luo Wang organization, his purge of it was understandable. However, his decision to pardon Jing Ni was incomprehensible.

This aroused the curiosity of Zhao Gao, the eunuch who was in charge of the net in place of the King of Qin.

Zhao Gao was clearly not a peaceful person.

Although he was deeply trusted by the King of Qin, he was actually very ambitious, so he sent people to investigate him secretly.

Finally, some of the truth was uncovered.

The main reason is that after Jiang Chuan replaced Bai Yifei and became the General of Han, he inevitably became somewhat arrogant and even brought Ru Shuang, Yan'er, Yan Lingji and others to live in the General's Mansion.

0.5

Night is not a monolithic entity.

Even though Ru Shuang lived a secluded life in the mansion, some people still saw her true face.

For those who once served in the Net and have now joined the Nightfall, some of them actually know Jing Ni.

Even if one's appearance and demeanor change.

But his appearance has not changed.

Jing Ni, a top-ranking assassin once wanted by the Luo Wang organization but now pardoned by the King of Qin, appeared in the general's mansion.

Why is this?

When the man in the straw raincoat learned of this news, he had many thoughts.

Afterwards, Jiang Chuan was afflicted with the Yin-Yang Curse Seal.

They had no choice but to go to Mount Shu with Zi Nu, while Ru Shuang also went to the Taoist sect.

The general's mansion is temporarily vacant.

This gave the man in the straw raincoat the opportunity to investigate the truth.

Chapter 240 An Untamable Ingratitude

The man in the straw raincoat had been in the shadows for countless years. He was in charge of espionage and used to collect intelligence for the Nightfall organization. It could be said that his eyes and ears were all over South Korea.

Through his deliberate investigation, he eventually discovered some clues.

That is, the first-class Jingni of the Luo Wang who was specially pardoned by the King of Qin may very well be hiding in the general's mansion.

The other party was Jiang Chuan's wife, one of the Four Fiends.

After Bai Yifei took over the General's Mansion, the other party also moved into the General's Mansion to live.

Jiang Chuan frequently visited the General's Mansion.

In the past, the man in the straw raincoat thought that the other party was being held hostage by Bai Yifei to blackmail Jiang Chuan, which was why he had allowed the mother and daughter to live in the General's Mansion.

But a more detailed investigation followed.

The man in the straw raincoat discovered something even more incredible.

That is, the current General Bai Yifei frequently enters and exits the other party's room.

In addition, Bai Yifei has another concubine, who is suspected to be Yan Lingji, a former member of the Baiyue assassin group under Tianze.

This made the man in the straw raincoat even more suspicious.

Regardless, Bai Yifei was his former colleague and one of the Four Fiends of the Night. Suoyi27ke believed he knew Bai Yifei quite well, and in his mind, Bai Yifei was a man who was not interested in women.

In the past, even when he got close to women, it was only to drink their blood and use them to practice his skills.

Now, Bai Yifei has not only married Princess Honglian, but also had an affair with Jiang Chuan's wife and has taken on a concubine who was once one of Tianze's subordinates.

These changes inevitably made the man in the straw raincoat increasingly suspicious.

He wanted to find Bai Yifei and observe him up close.

Unfortunately, Bai Yifei disappeared for several months, and even he couldn't find her whereabouts.

Afterwards, Bai Yifei reappeared and returned.

This gave the Straw-Clothed Man the idea to observe Bai Yifei. Before he could put it into action, Bai Yifei, after reappearing, changed his usual behavior and directly launched a reform. Many officials who had previously served under Ji Wuye and were attached to him were ruthlessly abandoned and executed on charges of corruption and perverting the law.

What exactly is Bai Yifei thinking? Why did he do this?

What good would it do him to do that?

This is a question that many people have in mind.

The man in the straw raincoat also had questions.

So he decided to test his suspicions.

So he found several retainers of convicted officials and had a Luo Wang assassin, posing as a family member of one of the officials, persuade them. Then, taking advantage of the moment when Princess Honglian was out, he kidnapped her.

Regardless of what Bai Yifei is thinking or what has happened to him, as long as he still cares about his identity as the Grand General, he will definitely go to rescue Princess Honglian.

If Bai Yifei is unable to find Princess Honglian's whereabouts, he wouldn't mind helping Bai Yifei out.

However, Bai Yifei's quick discovery of the place where Princess Honglian was imprisoned still surprised him.

"The method of manipulating flames is somewhat similar to the techniques used by that woman named Yan Lingji." The man in the straw raincoat listened to his informant report everything. In fact, when Bai Yifei was rescuing Princess Honglian and fighting against the assassin from Luo Wang, he had secretly planted his informants.

He wanted to use the battle to see through Bai Yifei's true strength and weaknesses.

In the end, it really was a great success.

Bai Yifei is surprisingly skilled in fire manipulation techniques.

This was completely different from the Bai Yifei he remembered.

The man in the straw raincoat was once a member of the Net. He joined Nightfall with a very deep purpose, and naturally he tried to understand everyone in Nightfall, especially Bai Yifei, with whom he had many collaborations.

I wouldn't say I fully understand Bai Yifei.

However, the Bai Yifei he knew, apart from being unparalleled in cold skills, did not know any fire magic.

Flame and ice are inherently opposing martial arts styles.

It cannot be ruled out that Bai Yifei possesses two different martial arts styles at the same time, but if Bai Yifei really has mastered two styles, why has he never revealed them before?

It was only after Ji Wuye's death, and after he became a great general, that his true nature was revealed.

Therefore, based on previous speculation.

The man in the straw raincoat came to a conclusion.
