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

I don't know if it's because of cultivation, or because Jiang Chuan himself is very special.

After the battle, he did not feel tired. On the contrary, he felt refreshed and his energy reached its peak during the process.

Of course, all the exhaustion was borne by those who fought against it.

"It seems that one concubine is not enough to satisfy my husband."

This is Ru Shuang's biggest feeling after fighting Jiang Chuan.

Logically speaking, Jiang Chuan should already have a concubine.

With Ru Shuang now having help, she should be able to handle Jiang Chuan.

But the truth is, Jiang Chuan's fighting strength is simply too strong.

After finishing the battle with Yan Lingji, without much rest, he defeated her directly.

This made Ru Shuang consider whether to recruit a second concubine for Jiang Chuan.

The concept of having multiple wives and concubines was not yet a settled matter in this era.

However, it was still quite common for nobles and wealthy families to have multiple wives and concubines.

The Zhuangzi records the story of "Duke Ling having three wives who bathed together in the same place." Emperor Shun in ancient times even married the sisters Ehuang and Nüying at the same time.

Therefore, Ru Shuang did not think there was anything wrong with her ideas.

This is because it is perfectly normal for capable men to have multiple wives and concubines.

……

Inside the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

Jiang Chuan's departure did not have any impact on Zi Lan Xuan's business; after all, he wasn't a plague god.

Not long after that, Nongyu found Zinu.

Jiang Chuan's words were reserved exclusively for Zi Nu.

Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang, and others happened to be in the Zi Lan Xuan, and thus heard what Nong Yu said.

On that day, after recovering the lost 100,000 taels of gold from Ji Wuye.

Han Fei, in front of Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu, expressed his true thoughts: he wanted to change the state of Han, transforming it from weak to strong, and he wanted ninety-nine out of the seven kingdoms.

Thus, the Quicksand Organization was born.

Although quicksand is weak, it exists in every corner of the world. As sand accumulates, even the weakest force can become a force that can shake the world if enough is gathered.

This is the true meaning behind the name "Quicksand".

"According to what Miss Nongyu said, that man has taken a liking to Miss Nongyu."

After listening to Nongyu's story, Han Fei made a joke.

Then, he looked at Zi Nu and asked, "Speaking of which, what exactly is that person's identity? Why are you all so concerned?"

"He can't be just an ordinary merchant, can he?"

Han Fei had been away from the country for many years. Although he knew Ji Wuye and Nightfall, he was not very clear about the more detailed aspects of Nightfall.

“Young Master should know about Nightfall, right?” Zi Nu looked at Han Fei and spoke softly.

Han Fei nodded, "Nightfall is also our greatest enemy."

Zi Nu said, "In Ji Wuye's night, there are four fierce generals, each corresponding to a poem."

"The Blood-Clad Marquis, the Jade Tiger on the Stone, the Sea Fairy, and the Raincoat-Clad Traveler Under the Moon."

"Bai Yifei, the Blood-Clad Marquis; Fei Cuihu, the Wealthy Merchant; the Tide-Wearing Demon; and the Straw-Cloaked Guest—these four are Ji Wuye's most capable assistants. They exert influence on Korea from four directions: military, political, financial, and espionage."

"However, a few months ago, South Korea's richest businessman, Jade Tiger, died. After his death, his business was taken over by a man named Kang Chuan. After he took over, Jade Tiger's business was not only unaffected, but it grew even stronger."

"The person Nongyu saw was Jiang Chuan. He is the new favorite who replaced Fei Cuihu and Ji Wuye, and also the latest ruthless general of the Nightfall!"

"His target is very likely not Nongyu, but... Zilanxuan."

Zi Nu revealed her inner thoughts.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Seeking Knowledge from the Tide Demoness

Do you know who this person is?

When Zi Nu mentioned Jiang Chuan, the gentle and refined young man Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask Zi Nu a question.

Zi Nu said in a deep voice, "We only found out that when this person first appeared before the Jade Tiger, he claimed to be a retainer of Lord Xinling. However, as you all know, Lord Xinling is already dead, so no one knows whether this is true or false..."

"A retainer of Lord Xinling?!"

Zhang Liang and Han Fei both frowned deeply.

There is very little useful information about Jiangchuan.

But this doesn't change the fact that they consider Jiang Chuan an enemy, since he is Ji Wuye's man.

in the next period of time.

Han Fei and the others were on high alert, but apart from Jiang Chuan's "threatening" words, Nongyu and the others did not feel any real danger. This made Nongyu wonder if Jiang Chuan was deliberately intimidating her.

Even so, she did not let her guard down, after all, Jiang Chuan's identity was extraordinary, he was one of the Four Fiends of the Night.

Even if it wasn't Ji Wuye, being targeted by a fierce general of the night is not a good thing.

Han Fei, on the other hand, has been riding high during this period.

Although Zhang Kaidi changed his mind at one point, after Han Fei finally helped him recover 100,000 taels of gold for military pay, even if Zhang Kaidi resisted again, he could only choose to recommend Han Fei for the position of Minister of Justice.

The title of Sikou was the official in charge of criminal justice. It originated from the Zhou royal family and was continued by many states to this day. Some states even further subdivided it into Da Sikou and Shao Sikou. For example, Confucius once served as Sikou in the State of Lu.

In the Qin state, after Shang Yang's reforms, they established a new division of officials, the Sikou, which was called the Tingwei there.

Of course, the responsibilities are roughly the same.

After becoming Minister of Justice, Han Fei spent most of his time reviewing files of old cases.

Ji Wuye has plagued the state of Han for many years and has committed numerous crimes. In these case files, Han Fei can clearly see Ji Wuye's crimes. The more he reads, the more solemn Han Fei's expression becomes.

Ji Wuye truly deserves to die!

……

"Is Madam surprised?"

The bedroom of Lady Myungju in the Korean royal palace.

Jiang Chuan looked at Madam Mingzhu, who was refining Gu poison, and spoke calmly.

Madam Mingzhu's gaze immediately sharpened.

She put down her tools and asked Jiang Chuan, "Do you know where this is?"

"You came here without permission. Aren't you afraid that your whereabouts will be exposed and you will be executed by the king?"

Jiang Chuan curled his lips, "If I am executed by the King of Han, my wife, as the one who had an affair with me, will not fare well either. Not to mention, you are still making Gu in your own palace. I wonder if the King of Han will find out about this and cause a witchcraft disaster."

It's just mutual intimidation, as if anyone can't do it.

Gu is something that inspires fear.

Even if the King of Han is a king, if he knew that his favorite Lady Mingzhu was secretly practicing Gu poison, he would definitely feel fear towards her and then distance himself from her.

Madam Mingzhu was a clever woman, and she certainly understood the consequences that would result from the exposure of her secret of creating Gu poison.

So she decisively abandoned her attempt to intimidate Jiang Chuan and asked him, "Mr. Jiang, what brings you here? Or rather, what do you need my help with?"

As she said this, she glanced around out of the corner of her eye, trying to find any trace of Ru Shuang.

"Don't look anymore, she's not here. I'm the only one here today."

"Oh?" Madam Mingzhu was quite surprised to hear this.

"Mr. Jiang, you really have a lot of guts. Without that person's protection, you actually dared to come here alone. Aren't you afraid of dying in the palace?" When Madam Mingzhu learned that Ru Shuang was not there, she felt that she had succeeded again and immediately looked at Jiang Chuan with a playful look.

Jiang Chuan said softly, "If I die, you will be buried with me. Being able to take such a beauty as you with me in death is a fitting end."

Madam Mingzhu immediately fell silent.

She had to admit that the man in front of her was difficult to deal with.

She was also very clear-headed.

No matter how much she threatened the man in front of her, he remained convinced of one thing.

That is, one's own weaknesses and one's own life are in the hands of the other party, and are controlled by the other party.

Jiang Chuan glanced at Madam Mingzhu and said, "Enough with the nonsense, I've come to you today to seek knowledge."

"Study?" Madam Mingzhu clearly did not understand what she meant.

“I’m very interested in your Gu techniques, so teach me,” Jiang Chuan said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Madam Mingzhu naturally disagreed and was prepared to refuse.

Her Gu techniques were taught to her by her cousin, Bai Yifei.

Over the years, thanks to her exceptional talent, she has achieved great success in the art of Gu poison.
