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

Ji Wuye had no idea that the 100,000 taels of gold he had already obtained was about to fly away.

At this moment, he was still immersed in the joy of having obtained 100,000 taels of gold with a little trick and had driven his political enemy Zhang Kai into a desperate situation.

The deadline for solving the case is fast approaching.

If Zhang Kaidi still can't solve the case by then, he'd like to see what face Zhang Kaidi will have left to serve as prime minister.

Ji Wuye's favorite thing to do is to attack his political enemies.

Zhang Kaidi then thought of the letter that Chao Nu Yao had sent recently.

And the achievements of the man who replaced the Emerald Tiger.

"Perhaps it's time to give them more room to maneuver."

Therefore, Ji Wuye ordered a meeting to be held in Jiangchuan.

After receiving Ji Wuye's summons, Jiang Chuan quickly headed towards the General's Mansion.

"I've met the general."

Upon seeing Ji Wuye, Jiang Chuan greeted him.

"You're quite good." Ji Wuye gave Jiang Chuan a meaningful look and praised him.

"General, you flatter me," Jiang Chuan said modestly.

Ji Wuye continued, "Since you have joined Nightfall, you must know that I have four capable lieutenants under my command."

Jiang Chuan nodded and said softly, "I know. It seems some people call them... the Four Fiends."

Ji Wuye's lips curled into a smile. "The Four Fiends Generals, that title is quite fitting."

"Blood-Clad Marquis, Tide Demoness, Straw-Cloaked Guest, and Emerald Tiger—these four are the four commanders of the Nightfall under my command."

“Jade Tiger was killed earlier, and you temporarily took over his business.”

"Now that you have demonstrated your abilities, this general will certainly not treat you unfairly."

"Tonight, go see the Tide Demoness first. She has something she needs you to do. After you see her, you will be the fourth fierce general of my Nightfall, and the position of Emerald Tiger will be yours."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan's body trembled immediately. He appeared both apprehensive and excited. "Thank you, General."

……

Back at the mansion.

Jiang Chuan immediately recounted how Ji Wuye had summoned him.

"Of Ji Wuye's four fierce generals, the Tide Demoness is hiding deep within the palace, shrouded in mystery. Why does she want to see you?" Ru Shuang asked curiously.

Jiang Chuan also pondered this question and said in a deep voice, "Jade Tiger is dead, only three of the four fierce generals remain, and Blood-Clad Marquis is leading troops outside. The only fierce generals who are truly left in Xinzheng City are Tide Demoness and Straw-Clothed Guest."

"The man in the straw raincoat has always been mysterious, but if it's for my becoming the fourth fierce general, it wouldn't be surprising if he showed up."

"In the end, it turned out to be a trendy woman."

"I think there must be a very important reason for this..."

Jiang Chuan's words were not idle talk.

Although he couldn't guess the specific reason, Jiang Chuan was certain that the Chao Nu Yao's meeting with him was definitely related to Ji Wuye's appointment of him as the fourth fierce general.

Perhaps Ji Wuye himself did not realize that his words had actually revealed an extremely important message.

That is, after meeting the Tide Demoness, Jiang Chuan was the fourth fierce general.

What could possibly require a meeting with the Tide Demoness?

Jiang Chuan looked at Ru Shuang and said, "Madam, I'm afraid you'll have to follow us in secret tonight."

As if frost were nodding.

Night fell quickly.

After nightfall, Jiang Chuan followed Ji Wuye's directions during the day and arrived at a certain place in the city. Xinzheng City is very large, with an inner city and an outer city. Within the inner city, there is another inner city, which is where the royal palace is located.

Behind the palace lies a vast lake.

Under the moonlight, the lake water shimmered with sparkling waves.

Beside the lake, there is also a lush grove of trees.

Jiang Chuan entered the woods.

He waited quietly for a while.

Suddenly, a small boat appeared on the lake.

The small boat docked.

A figure draped in a cloak walked slowly towards them.

She stepped into the woods and soon saw Jiang Chuan waiting there.

"You're the one who replaced Emerald Tiger?"

A deep voice reached Jiang Chuan's ears.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but look up at the person in front of him.

The dim moonlight filtered through the gaps in the trees and fell upon the other person. Although she was wearing a cloak, her graceful figure and charming face could still be glimpsed.

However, Jiang Chuan didn't look at it much, because he could keenly sense that there was some obscure atmosphere hidden in the woods at this moment.

Clearly, he wasn't the only one after the Tide Fairy appeared.

The last villain of the night, the man in the straw raincoat, and other masters of the night are very likely hiding in the shadows.

After all, this involves the important matter of the succession of the fourth villain of the Nightfall.

"I have seen the Tide Demoness."

Jiang Chuan spoke to the person in front of him.

The woman, or rather, Madam Mingzhu, carefully examined Jiang Chuan, seemingly surprised that the successor of Emerald Tiger was so young and handsome, far surpassing Emerald Tiger in appearance.

She then revealed the purpose of her meeting with Jiang Chuan.

.

Chapter Fifty-Six: Madam Mingzhu, the night is long, why not rest in peace?

"I have come to see you tonight for two reasons."

Madam Mingzhu's voice carried a hint of allure.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but focus all his attention on Madam Mingzhu, looking at her intently.

Madam Mingzhu didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly stated her purpose.

"The first thing I need is for you to help me collect beauties."

"A beauty?" Jiang Chuan looked at Madam Mingzhu with a puzzled expression.

Madam Mingzhu said, "You don't need to know the specific reasons; just do as instructed."

“Back then, these things were all done by Emerald Tiger. Now that you have taken over from Emerald Tiger, this matter is now your responsibility.”

Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered, but he didn't ask for the reason. He nodded and said, "Yes."

Madam Mingzhu then brought up the second matter.

She took a small bottle out of her pocket and handed it to Jiang Chuan, saying, "Eat this."

Jiang Chuan took the bottle.

"what is this?"

"A tonic!" Madam Mingzhu didn't directly reveal what it contained, "If you want to replace Emerald Tiger and become the fourth fierce general of the Night, then eat it."

"After you eat it, many secrets of the night will be revealed to you."

Jiang Chuan's gaze sharpened, and for a moment, he hesitated.

He had a pretty good idea of ​​what was in the bottle.

However, whether or not one can actually eat it is another question.

Because he didn't know whether the contents were poison that would kill him instantly if he ate it.

But then he rejected the guess.

If Ji Wuye really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.

After all, given his own strength, Ji Wuye couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

If he wanted to kill me, he only needed to have Mo Ya do it, and I would die instantly.

Therefore, the contents inside are not poisonous substances.

It should be... Gu (a type of poison).

Lady Mingzhu is skilled in making Gu poison. She has been lying in wait by the side of King Han for many years, influencing him through her Gu poison techniques and the illusion of fragrance, in order to control him.

Now, Jade Tiger is dead, and Blood-Clad Marquis is no longer in court.
