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

"Liu Yi is not a good person, and he deserves to die, but it can't be now."

Jiang Chuan said this because Liu Yi was involved in many things.

Aside from secretly plotting and destroying Fire Rain Manor, he also followed Bai Yifei in conquering Baiyue in the past, and knew many of the things Bai Yifei did in Baiyue, and knew so many secrets.

If Liu Yi dies.

This could very well lead to Bai Yifei's early return.

Currently, Jiang Chuan can handle Ji Wuye, but if Bai Yifei returns ahead of schedule, it will not be a good thing for him.

Ru Shuang nodded.

Although killing is the most convenient way.

But as a former top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization, she had other ways of solving problems besides killing.

The Box of Baiyue is related to the past events of Huoyu Mountain Villa.

Liu Yi hid it in his mansion; all that's needed is to find it.

After that, whenever Liu was unexpectedly away from home...

Ru Shuang would go out and secretly sneak into Liu Yi's residence.

Although Liu Yi was the Left Sima, the defenses of his residence were not particularly strong; otherwise, he would not have died at the hands of Wujiu, whose martial arts skills were only average, in the original story.

Ru Shuang spent some time finding the Baiyue Box.

Finally, they successfully found a hidden compartment in Liu Yi's residence.

As the hidden compartment opened, a secret room appeared.

Then, a box came into her view.

……

Not to mention how furious Liu Yi would be when he discovered that the Baiyue Box had been stolen.

But what is certain is that even if he is angry, he would never dare to tell anyone.

After all, the wealth of Fire Rain Manor in its heyday was well-known.

Liu Yi secretly destroyed Fire Rain Manor and seized its treasures. If he were to announce to the public that the treasures were fake, he would be wrong.

People like Ji Wuye would never believe that.

They would only assume that Liu Yi had embezzled the treasure.

In addition, Liu Yi's wife, Madam Hu, was the eldest daughter of Huoyu Manor in the past.

Liu Yi could not possibly reveal these things to Madam Hu.

This is why he has kept the Baiyue Box hidden away for so many years, never daring to take it out.

Inside Jiang Chuan's mansion.

Jiang Chuan looked at the Baiyue Box that Ru Shuang had brought back with great curiosity.

When the box was opened, there was no treasure inside.

There is only this one animal skin scroll.

Unfold the scroll, and you'll find it covered with a jumble of lines and dots that seem utterly incomprehensible.

No wonder Liu Yi felt cheated back then.

Chapter 41 I've Taken a Fancy to a Woman

Jiang Chuan scanned the scroll, but couldn't understand it; he really couldn't understand it.

He then handed the scroll to Ru Shuang.

Obviously, Ru Shuang couldn't understand it either.

Since you can't understand it, you might as well put it away.

If we keep it, perhaps we can unlock its secrets in the future.

Time passes slowly.

After Ru Shuang stole the Baiyue Box from Liu Yi, Jiang Chuan finally had a clue about the whereabouts of Yan Ling Ji.

It's actually not hard to find.

Ten years ago, the State of Han and the State of Chu joined forces to conquer the Baiyue. The Baiyue suffered a great defeat, and many Baiyue people were displaced. To this day, many Baiyue refugees still linger near Han.

Wherever there are people, the buying and selling of people has never ceased.

Many women from the Baiyue region were sold into slavery.

Among them, there was one woman who was particularly special.

According to rumors, she was surrounded by an inextinguishable flame, making her impossible for ordinary people to touch. Later, a wealthy South Korean businessman learned of her existence and spent a large sum of money to buy her back.

Then, they even spent their assets to build a cage using crystal.

The crystal cage was filled with water, imprisoning the woman surrounded by flames.

Although you can't touch them, they can be kept as ornamental fish.

After all, the woman was simply too beautiful.

This incident was once widely circulated among the wealthy in Xinzheng.

This wealthy man had even hosted banquets in the past, inviting others to his mansion for a visit.

Jiang Chuan has now inherited Emerald Tiger's position and is still the one who helps Ji Wuye make money. Although Ji Wuye did not hand over all of Emerald Tiger's businesses to him to manage, he has helped Ji Wuye make a lot of money through various means recently.

This person was also known among the wealthy circles of Xinzheng.

They also knew who was behind Jiang Chuan.

In order to curry favor with Jiang Chuan, the newly favored one in front of Ji Wuye, and to befriend Jiang Chuan, invitations from wealthy people in Xinzheng City were sent to Jiang Chuan almost every day.

Jiang Chuan also chose to participate in several of these gatherings, and then he made up his mind about this matter.

"Madam, I need your help."

After returning to his residence, Jiang Chuan promptly sought help from Ru Shuang.

Just as Nobita has Doraemon, Jiang Chuan also has Ru Shuang as a powerful ally.

A powerful figure who has one foot in the Grandmaster realm is enough to dominate the entire Xinzheng region.

Although there may still be a few people who can rival Ru Shuang.

But as long as she doesn't directly confront those people, no one can stop Ru Shuang from doing whatever she wants in secret.

"What does my husband need me to do for you?"

Ru Shuang would never refuse Jiang Chuan's requests, because Jiang Chuan himself had hardly ever asked her to do anything.

So far, it has only happened twice.

One time was when he killed the Jade Tiger, and the other time was when he stole the Baiyue Box.

The main reason she killed Jade Tiger was that her husband wanted to advance further and plan for their future.

"Hasn't Madam always wanted to take me a concubine? To be honest, I've recently taken a liking to someone," Jiang Chuan said to Ru Shuang.

"Oh?" When Ru Shuang heard Jiang Chuan say that he had taken a liking to someone and was going to take her as a concubine, her first feeling was not anger, but rather, happiness.

Great.

Her husband finally listened to what she had said back then.

I will soon have help.

She no longer has to struggle to deal with her husband.

She suddenly felt a sense of relief.

"May I ask which family this woman belongs to?" Ru Shuang asked Jiang Chuan softly. "Could she be Nongyu from Zilan Pavilion?"

"My husband was very interested in it that very day."

"Or perhaps, the owner of Zilan Pavilion, Zi Nu?"

“If it’s the latter, then I must advise my husband that although Zi Nu is very beautiful, as the mistress of Zi Lan Xuan, she has been involved with many men and has a strong sense of worldliness. She is not a good choice.”

"But that Miss Nongyu, although she is in the world of prostitution, is like a rare orchid in a secluded valley. My husband should really consider her."

Jiang Chuan was speechless upon hearing Ru Shuang's words. He hadn't expected that Ru Shuang had always remembered Zi Lan Xuan, and that even Zi Nu knew about it.

He hadn't expected that Ru Shuang's desire to find him a concubine would be so urgent.

Although my combat strength has been increasing recently, isn't it a good thing that my combat strength has increased?

The thought flashed through Jiang Chuan's mind, and he said to Ru Shuang, "The other party has no connection with Zi Lan Xuan."

"And to be honest, it's not so easy for me to take her as a concubine, even though she is indeed very beautiful."

"Could it be that her husband doesn't agree?" Ru Shuang looked at Jiang Chuan with a strange gaze.
