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

After all, Teacher Yan has worked so hard to teach us, we can't let her good intentions go to waste.

Just as Jiang Chuan was enjoying the long-awaited peace and learning the Fire Charm Technique in the mansion.

Inside the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

After what happened overnight, Nongyu became increasingly preoccupied.

So she went to find Zi Nu, intending to ask her for advice, hoping that Zi Nu might be able to resolve her worries.

"Sister Zi Nu".

Upon arriving at Zi Nu's place, Nong Yu's voice was low and deep.

Zi Nu was a clever and perceptive woman. Just by listening to Nong Yu's tone of voice, she guessed that Nong Yu had something on her mind.

"Nongyu, is there something you need?"

Nongyu's eyes flickered, her expression slightly complicated, "It's about the Fire Rain Agate I always carry with me..."

She immediately recounted the conversation she had with Jiang Chuan the day before.

"So, Nongyu, is this why you came to me?" After listening to Nongyu's explanation, Zi Nu understood the reason. She looked at Nongyu with a serious expression, "You want to find the whereabouts of your parents?"

Nongyu was silent for a while before speaking, "I was raised by you, Sister Zinu. You have a debt of gratitude to me for raising me. Logically speaking, I shouldn't have such thoughts. However, when I heard that person mention my parents and the Fire Rain Agate, I couldn't help but think of those things..."

Zi Nu interrupted Nong Yu, "I understand how you feel."

"After all, everyone has parents, and it's understandable that you want to find them."

"However, I still hope that you, Nongyu, can think about this carefully. The fact that the person mentioned seeing another piece of the same Fire Rain Agate in front of you does not necessarily mean that another Fire Rain Agate really exists. It is also possible that the other party is lying."

"A lie?" Nongyu looked at Zinu.

Zi Nu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I don't know much about this person, and I can't find out anything about his past, even though he once claimed in front of Fei Cui Hu that he was a retainer of Lord Xinling."

"However, Lord Xinling has been dead for two years, and many things are no longer possible to investigate."

"But from the moment he joined Emerald Tiger's ranks, he quickly gained Emerald Tiger's favor in a short period of time, and then, after Emerald Tiger's death, he quickly rose to power and replaced Emerald Tiger's position."

"Although he can't be considered one of the Four Fiends of the Night, he's close enough."

"Such a person is definitely not as simple as he appears on the outside; his scheming is likely to be much deeper than we imagine."

"When he came to you and mentioned the Fire Rain Agate, it wasn't necessarily to help you find your parents; he may have had other motives."

"Sister Zi Nu, are you saying that he is plotting against me?" Nong Yu's brows furrowed even more.

"But what do I have to scheme about?"

Could it be that the other person is coveting her beauty?

After considering this possibility, Nongyu found it laughable, realizing she was probably overthinking things.

Zi Nu said in a deep voice, "His target may not be you, but... Zi Lan Xuan."

"Ji Wuye has very likely noticed Zilan Pavilion."

Zilan Pavilion has been operating in Xinzheng for many years. Zi Nu uses the place of pleasure as a cover, but in reality, the entire Zilan Pavilion is a huge spy agency. Zi Nu has gathered an unknown amount of intelligence through it.

What is the purpose of collecting this intelligence?

No one knows.

But at this moment, Zi Nu does indeed intend to help her good friend Wei Zhuang and change the entire Korean kingdom.

If you want to change South Korea, there is one person you absolutely cannot bypass.

That was Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye and his Nightfall faction were the biggest obstacles in the process of changing Korea.

The Four Fiends of Night are Ji Wuye's henchmen. They are mysterious and unpredictable. Even Zi Nu could only find out the identities of two of them.

One of them is Bai Yifei, the Marquis in Blood-Clad Robes.

The other person was the wealthy businessman Jade Tiger.

As for the remaining two, she has only discovered that the Tide Demoness is hiding deep within the palace and is suspected to be someone close to the King of Han, but she doesn't know exactly who she is.

The man in the straw raincoat, on the other hand, is too mysterious.

Apart from Ji Wuye, no one knows his true identity.

Jiang Chuan's rapid rise to prominence and becoming a rising star by Ji Wuye's side naturally attracted the attention of Zi Nu and the others.

They began trying to gather information about Jiangchuan.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chuan had only been in Xinzheng for a short time, and given his previously mysterious origins, they couldn't find any useful information.

The only slightly valuable piece of information is that Jiang Chuan was once suspected to be a retainer of Lord Xinling, but Lord Xinling had many retainers, so this information is not very useful.

Jiang Chuan's words to Nongyu yesterday inevitably aroused Zi Nu's suspicion.

After her initial suspicions subsided, she comforted Nongyu, saying, "Of course, if what that person said is true, and there really is a piece of agate like the Fire Rain Agate on your body, even without that person's help, as long as we have this clue, we can eventually help you find your loved ones."

Upon hearing this, Nongyu felt relieved and said, "Thank you, Sister Zinu."

Afterwards, Nongyu took her leave.

Seeing that Nongyu had left.

Zi Nu's brows remained furrowed and did not relax.

Jiang Chuan, this rising star in front of Ji Wuye, made Zi Nu feel a sense of pressure and threat.

Jiang Chuan had no idea that his casual conversation with Nongyu, sparked by lust, had aroused so much speculation from Zi Nu. It just goes to show that the smarter a person is, the more they tend to overthink.

As night fell, a sudden rainstorm broke out.

At first, the rain was light, but then it intensified and suddenly turned into a downpour.

Because of the rain, the weather in Xinzheng has become quite cooler.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Jiang Chuan.

He was perfectly content with the beauty in his arms.

That same night, some things happened.

Jiang Chuan also successfully learned the Fire Charm Technique by taking advantage of that misty space.

The next day, when he went to Yan Lingji to show off that he had learned the Fire Charm Technique and continued his show-off career, Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang in Zi Lan Xuan both frowned.

They learned of something important.

The 100,000 taels of gold that South Korea was distributing to the border troops as military pay disappeared without a trace during the journey to Duanhun Valley, suspected to have been hijacked by ghost soldiers.

The Ghost Soldiers Robbery Case.

The first case in the story of Tian Xing Jiu Ge has finally officially begun.

This means that the story of "Nine Songs of the Sky" is about to unfold.

Chapter Fifty-Four: Those Who Remain True to Their Original Aspirations

The theft of 100,000 taels of gold in military pay caused a great sensation.

South Korea is not wealthy.

This military pay of 100,000 taels of gold was a considerable sum for South Korea, and the crucial point was that it had to be paid.

If South Korea can't even afford to support its border troops, then the entire country is just waiting to be swallowed up and destroyed by other powerful nations.

In order to escort the military pay and ensure that the pay was delivered without any loss.

The King of Han even sent his two younger brothers to escort the military supplies.

The results of it?

When the military pay was being escorted to Broken Soul Valley, it was caught in a heavy rain and disappeared in the rain.

Moreover, according to the soldiers who accompanied the transport at the time, it was raining heavily and shrouded in fog, and there seemed to be ghosts haunting the area.

These remarks are truly frightening.

In particular, the place where the ghost soldiers robbed the supplies was the Valley of Broken Souls.

The Valley of Broken Souls is the burial place of a remnant of the Zheng army when the State of Han destroyed Zheng in the past. Because the place is extremely gloomy and rarely sees the sun, there are often rumors of ghosts and monsters coming from there.

Of course, the King of Han did not believe this explanation.

How could 100,000 taels of gold in military pay simply disappear like that?

Even if someone is abducted by ghosts or monsters, they should still be able to leave some traces, right?

Moreover, this is human money; even if ghosts take it, they can't do anything with it.

check!

This matter must be thoroughly investigated.

Therefore, the King of Han immediately appointed a chief judge.

However, something terrifying happened next.

The presiding judge appointed by the King of Han died suddenly in the middle of the night.
