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

Jiang Chuan was lusting after the other's body.

Of course, these are just ideas until Yan Lingji's whereabouts are found.

But that's another matter.

He said it to Ru Shuang, "Madam, have you ever heard of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon?"

Ru Shuang's expression changed instantly.

Her breathing also became rapid.

"Where did you hear about the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions, my husband?"

Jiang Chuan said, "It was all by chance."

"I may have discovered a clue to the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions hidden in Korea."

Jiang Chuan said to Ru Shuang, "The Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon is a secret that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is said that whoever can master the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon and unravel its mysteries will have the power to control the world."

"The reason why the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Warring States were able to become powerful and dominant was because they all possessed some of the secrets of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, but in reality, this was just a coincidence."

"As far as I know, South Korea does not possess the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon."

“In the past, Duke Zhuang of Zheng comprehended the secrets of the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, and the State of Zheng rose from a small state to become a hegemon, which was incredible. However, with the death of Duke Zhuang of Zheng, the State of Zheng quickly declined.”

"Afterwards, the State of Han destroyed the State of Zheng, but did not obtain the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions hidden by the State of Zheng."

"This secret still lies hidden within this land."

Jiang Chuan spoke eloquently.

After hearing what Jiang Chuan said, Ru Shuang realized that Jiang Chuan knew quite a lot.

However, she could barely accept these things.

Her husband was indeed shrouded in mystery.

Although he was born into a village in the mountains, aside from his birth, he often spoke strangely and knew a lot of things.

Some of these things were completely unheard of, even to Ru Shuang.

Jiang Chuan's mystery piqued Ru Shuang's curiosity, and she quickly became fascinated.

Composing herself, Ru Shuang asked Jiang Chuan, "So, my husband has found the location of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions?"

She is genuinely interested in this question.

The reason for this is that one of the tasks assigned to her by Luo Wang in the past was the ordinary Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.

Wei Wuji, the younger brother of King Wei and the renowned Lord Xinling of Wei, was suspected of having mastered the secret of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions in the past. Therefore, when Luo Wang sent her to assassinate Wei Wuji, they also tried to have her find out about the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions from Wei Wuji's side.

Unfortunately, no results were gained until Wei Wuji's death.

Later, she became the top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization, and her mission was to find that nameless master, because that person was involved with the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon.

Ru Shuang thought that after escaping the net, she would never hear the words "Azure Dragon Seven Mansions" again, but she never expected to hear them again today in Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan shook his head and said, "I can't say we found it, we just have some clues."

"So many years have passed since the conquest of Zheng by the State of Han. The State of Han has never given up searching for the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions. If it were so easy to find, they would have found it long ago."

"Oh? What clue is it?" Ru Shuang asked softly.

Jiang Chuan said softly, "After the fall of the State of Zheng, the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon did not remain in the hands of the State of Zheng, but were transferred to the Baiyue after many changes."

"Baiyue?"

Ru Shuang never expected that she would be involved in that area.

Jiang Chuan continued, "In the border area between Baiyue and Korea, there once stood a luxurious manor called Huoyu Manor. Huoyu Gong, the owner of Huoyu Manor, was a benevolent and charitable man and a very wealthy man in Baiyue. The manor had many craftsmen who were skilled at carving agate."

"Originally, as a wealthy man, Huo Yu Gong would not have been able to get involved with the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations."

"All of this is related to the fact that ten years ago, the State of Chu and the State of Han joined forces to conquer the Baiyue."

"The Battle of Baiyue was the battle that made Xueyi Hou Bai Yifei famous. His white clothes were stained red because of that battle, and it was also because of that battle that he became another benchmark in the Korean army after Ji Wuye."

"At that time, Bai Yifei had two Sima under his command, namely Liu Yi, the Left Sima, and Li Kai, the Right Sima. On their way to support Baiyue, they passed by Huoyu Manor..."

Next, Jiang Chuan recounted the past of Huoyu Manor.

For example, Li Kai and the young lady of Huoyu Manor fell in love at first sight and secretly pledged their lives to each other, which aroused the jealousy of Liu Yi, the Left Sima who was traveling with them. As a result, Liu Yi colluded with the notorious bandits of Baiyue, the "Three Wolves with Broken Hair," to massacre the entire Huoyu Manor.

A massive fire reduced Fire Rain Manor to ashes.

Later, when the Three Wolves with Broken Hair were moving the treasure of Fire Rain Manor, Liu Yi ruthlessly killed them.

Afterwards, he deliberately failed to support Li Kai, who was fighting in Baiyue, resulting in the annihilation of Li Kai's entire army and his own death.

Once these things are done, that's it.

Taking advantage of the destruction of Huoyu Manor, Liu Yi pretended to take in the eldest daughter and her sister who had nowhere to go, and then took advantage of their vulnerability to marry them.

"The eldest daughter of Huoyu Manor is now Liu Yi's wife, Madam Hu."

"It is worth mentioning that Madam Hu's younger sister entered the palace and became Consort Hu, a favorite concubine of the King of Han."

"This Madam Hu is truly a pitiful person. She thought that the person who gave her shelter and took her in was her benefactor, but in reality, she was the enemy who wiped out her entire family."

Chapter Forty: Past Events of the Baiyue Region

When Jiang Chuan said his last sentence, he used a slightly sarcastic tone.

He did indeed feel some sympathy for Madam Hu.

After listening to Jiang Chuan's story, Ru Shuang spent a long time digesting all the information he had shared and figuring out the whole story.

"It really is a complicated story."

"Li Kai is pitiful, Liu Yi is hateful, and Madam Hu is tragic." After commenting on the main characters in the story, she returned to the main topic.

"Is the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations that my husband mentioned related to this Fire Rain Manor?"

Having once been an assassin for the Luo Wang organization, she had witnessed countless loves and hates.

Even though the stories of Madam Hu, Li Kai, and Liu Yi were quite complicated, they couldn't move Ru Shuang. Compared to this story, she cared more about the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon that Jiang Chuan had mentioned.

Jiang Chuan nodded. "Not bad."

"If I'm not mistaken, Fire Rain Manor is descended from the descendants of the ancient state of Zheng. After the fall of Zheng, its descendants fled to the Baiyue region, where they used the wealth of the former state to establish Fire Rain Manor and quickly rose to prominence."

"But in reality, its true purpose was to protect the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions that the State of Zheng once controlled."

"Duke Zhuang of Zheng comprehended the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, which enabled the State of Zheng to rise to hegemony. Unfortunately, his successors were incompetent and no one could comprehend the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon again. However, as long as the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon remain in the hands of his successors, if one day a person of extraordinary talent emerges among them and comprehends the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon again, it is not impossible for the State of Zheng to be restored and rise again."

Unfortunately, due to a series of coincidences, the State of Zheng was unable to wait for that opportunity again.

"On the contrary, the Fire Rain Manor, which originally protected the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon, was directly destroyed because of Liu Yi's jealousy."

"After the destruction of Fire Rain Manor, the treasure fell into Liu Yi's hands. However, when Liu Yi opened the box, he found that there was no gold or silver treasure inside. This was not surprising, because the real treasure of Fire Rain Manor was not money, but the secret of the Seven Constellations of Azure Dragon."

"Liu Yi was unaware of all this. He knew he had been deceived, but even so, he still chose to bring the box back and hide it. He also concealed the truth about Fire Rain Manor from the outside world."

After listening to Jiang Chuan tell this story, Ru Shuang

And so I understood the reason for everything.

"So, the secret of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions is currently hidden with Liu Yi? It's just that he doesn't know about this secret, so he hasn't taken it seriously?"

“Yes.” Jiang Chuan nodded.

Ru Shuang's eyes flickered slightly, "My husband wants to seize the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations?"

Jiang Chuan laughed and said, "This secret is widely known throughout the world. Which of the seven kingdoms today doesn't want to seize the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions and crack this secret?"

"I am no exception."

"Now that we know it exists, we should naturally try to explore it."

"Besides that, there is another matter that means we must act as soon as possible if we want to seize the secret of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations."

"What is it?" Ru Shuang asked.

Jiang Chuan said, "Among the three wolves who were killed by Liu Yi years ago, one of them did not die. After many twists and turns, he joined Nightfall and became a member of Nightfall."

"This person has been eyeing Liu Yi for a long time and has always wanted to seize the treasure of Huoyu Manor from Liu Yi."

"If we wait until this person makes a move, it is very likely that he will destroy those clues."

"I understand," Ru Shuang nodded.

My husband is very interested in the Azure Dragon constellation.

Isn't she the same?

The Net, with its meticulous planning, was determined to find the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions. Over the years, it had planted countless spies and assassins throughout the six kingdoms of Shandong, all in an effort to locate the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions.

If we can find a copy of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions before the Net of Heaven is opened, and then keep it in our hands.

That means that the Net will never be able to gather all seven constellations of the Azure Dragon.

Ru Shuang wouldn't mind doing anything that would allow her to retaliate against Luo Wang.

Jiang Chuan looked at Ru Shuang and said, "If possible, Madam, you only need to obtain the Baiyue Box. It would be best if you didn't kill Liu Yi."
