Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 170 Ready to Go

Ji Wuye's cruelty and cunning are well known to all. Therefore, when Han Fei knew that he would have to face Ji Wuye directly, he had to call Wei Zhuang along no matter what. If Ji Wuye overturned the table, he would not be without any power to resist.

Thus, in front of the General's Mansion, the scene unfolded where Han Fei and Wei Zhuang arrived hand in hand.

Ji Wuye reacted coldly to Han Fei's visit. The Ninth Prince, who had a little talent but was too naive, was no match for him.

However, when Han Fei explained his purpose, Ji Wuye, who had been fiddling with his wine cup and acting as if he was just going through the motions, suddenly became serious.

"What does Ninth Young Master mean by this? Do you think I robbed the 100,000 taels of gold in military pay?" Ji Wuye said coldly, his powerful and domineering aura pressing down on Han Fei without any restraint.

Once Han Fei is intimidated by his imposing manner, his mind will falter, and he will be drawn into Han Fei's rhythm. Unfortunately, Ji Wuye is destined to be disappointed.

Although Han Fei is not good at martial arts, his spiritual cultivation is by no means low. In some ways, he is even above Ji Wuye. You should know that he is able to raise sword spirits. His master, Xun Kuang of the Confucian school, is an unfathomable grandmaster who may even be promoted to grandmaster in the future.

"General, do you really think that three people who are united by interests are truly united? When faced with danger, should one protect oneself, or should one face the danger head-on while shielding the other and letting them enjoy the benefits alone?" Han Fei asked rhetorically.

"I don't know what kind of mystery Ninth Young Master is showing off." Ji Wuye remained calm, because judging by the time, Anping was currently...

Jun and Longquan Jun are both practically dead; what evidence can they possibly provide?

"General, do you know why I have come here?" Han Fei saw that Ji Wuye was unmoved by reason, so he also began to take Ji Wuye seriously. This was a madman, a madman who could drag the state of Han into the abyss.

Suddenly, Han Fei seemed to understand his father and Yang Che's advice: he really couldn't push Ji Wuye too far, or he would really flip the table.

"How would I know?" Ji Wuye said irritably. He had realized that Han Fei had indeed obtained conclusive evidence, which was why he had come here.

"My father said that the General is loyal to the monarch and the country, and is the pillar of our Han state. Even if there is a misunderstanding, it will not change the General's loyalty to the monarch and his love for the country," Han Fei said.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Ji Wuye said coldly. Did he think he was a three-year-old child, trying to fool him with just a few words?

One hundred thousand taels of gold is not considered conclusive evidence until it is found. What are the testimonies of Lord Anping and Lord Longquan? He can easily claim that the two are implicating him. But once the gold is handed over, his guilt will be confirmed.

Ji Wuye surely understood the principle of catching a thief in hiding and catching an adulterer in pairs.

Moreover, he is really short of money right now. Ever since Yang Che confiscated and exterminated Fei Cuihu's family, Nightfall's cash flow has been in trouble.

The vast and all-encompassing power of the Nightfall requires substantial financial support; otherwise, how could they sustain those assassins and generals?

The extravagant lifestyle of the mansion, indulging in revelry day and night, also requires a great deal of money.

"Alright, alright, I knew such a big and heinous case couldn't possibly be related to the General. Now that I have the General's words, I can rest assured. I'll go and collect the military pay right away. I think no one will stop me in the end." Faced with Ji Wuye's sophistry, Han Fei believed him.

He never intended to get any answers from Ji Wuye, so why would he be disappointed by Ji Wuye's sophistry?

"Of course, my loyalty to Han and to the King is as clear as day," Ji Wuye said shamelessly.

After exchanging pleasantries with Ji Wuye, Han Fei and Wei Zhuang took their leave.

Ji Wuye watched Han Fei's departing figure, his eyes narrowing slightly. He had deduced a lot of information from Han Fei's words, and he was somewhat uneasy about the location where the gold was stored.

Perhaps it's time to change positions.

As Ji Wuye pondered, an idea gradually formed in his mind.

"Is this what you mean by 'absolutely foolproof'?" Wei Zhuang asked Han Fei coldly after leaving the General's mansion.

Just now, he had been relegated to the background, which made him very unhappy. He thought to himself, Wei Zhuang, a dignified successor of the Ghost Valley School, when had he ever been a background character? Wherever he went, he should be the protagonist.

"We've done all we can. Now it's up to Ji Wuye to decide what to do," Han Fei said, frowning. He had clearly achieved his goal, so why was he so worried?

"It seems there's nothing more for me to do." Wei Zhuang put his hands behind his back and looked up at the General's Mansion that had disappeared behind him.

This is the opponent he needs to defeat.

"No, now is the time to need Brother Wei Zhuang." Han Fei stopped Wei Zhuang from leaving in time. What a joke! When he found the gold, that would be the time to completely break ties with Ji Wuye. The assassins of the Nightfall were terrifying. Therefore, he had to cling to Wei Zhuang, and he had to cling to him tightly.

"What do you need me to do?" Wei Zhuang remained indifferent.

Han Fei was inwardly scoffing. The art of rhetoric was an indispensable part of the Guigu School's strategy of alliances and counter-alliances. Were the previous Guigu disciples as cold and indifferent as Wei Zhuang? How did they persuade kings and nobles and influence the course of the world?

Or is Wei Zhuang just an exception, and perhaps his senior brother is better?

Better? Han Fei will soon find that this is entirely wishful thinking. When he meets Gai Nie, he will be pleasantly surprised to find that his own Wei Zhuang is actually easier to communicate with.

Wei Zhuang's coldness was merely ruthlessness, while Gai Nie's coldness was almost indifference.

Of course, that's because Han Fei didn't realize that beneath the cold exterior of the two brothers, Zongheng, lay an even more intense fire.

"Stay with me." Han Fei said without any politeness. He was genuinely afraid that a squad of armored soldiers would suddenly rush out of the General's mansion and cut him down in a hail of blades.

He hadn't worried about this before, because he thought that no matter how arrogant Ji Wuye was, he still had to follow some basic rules. But now, Han Fei no longer dared to have such expectations of Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye is not stupid, but his greed will make him do things that even a fool would not do.

Han Fei was not afraid of outwitting others, but he was afraid of outwitting others with stupidity, because stupidity is incomprehensible.

While they waited, Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, and the cavalry led by Han Qiancheng transformed into hunters lurking in the night. As expected, the people from the General's Mansion made their move.

And this was the opportunity Han Fei had been waiting for.
