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

Chapter 172 I Am the Great General

"General, the King has given you an order. Listen to the decree." Han Fei walked into the hall with an arrogant air, seemingly unaware of the armored soldiers lying in ambush around the hall.

Ji Wuye looked at the smug Han Fei and was so angry that his liver ached. At this moment, he realized that he had fallen for Han Fei's trick yesterday. Han Fei did not know the whereabouts of the gold at all and was just lying to him. He had actually foolishly sent people to move the gold. Han Fei's men found the gold by following the people he sent to move it.

And then there's Yang Che. They had already made an agreement, but Yang Che went back on his word and actually lent troops to Han Fei. Ji Wuye felt very wronged. Yang Che's actions were really too unethical.

"Your subject Ji Wuye, please obey the decree."

Ji Wuye, who has not yet been pushed to the last step, does not have the courage to turn against his enemies. Although he has military power, the chances of him succeeding in rebellion are really slim. If he does rebel, he will not only have to face King Han An and the forces loyal to him, but also the various states.

Therefore, at this moment, he had no choice but to obey orders. If things were truly beyond repair, he would not hesitate to overturn the table in a fit of rage. Since he was not having an easy time, he would not let anyone else have an easy time either.

"General Ji Wuye is guilty of negligence—" Han Fei declared loudly.

Upon hearing the decree, Ji Wuye was taken aback. Was it merely a matter of oversight?

Gradually, he understood that King An of Han hadn't pursued the charge of embezzling military funds, but instead shifted the blame onto his subordinates and Lord Anping. This relieved Ji Wuye; he was also a player in the Han state's game, and anyone who...

He had no choice but to refuse to overturn the table.

"General Ji Wuye is no longer suitable for the position of General and is hereby transferred to the position of Minister of Works."

"What?!" Ji Wuye was furious upon hearing this. King Han An was trying to strip him of his power and then gradually take him down.

Damn it, I absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die; I must fight with all my might. Just as Ji Wuye, kneeling on the ground, clenched his fists, Han Fei's next words made him loosen his fists again.

Han Fei continued, "The troops led by Ji Wuye will still be under his command."

Hmm? Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye quickly began to calculate. Being demoted from Grand General to Grand Minister of Works was only a half-rank reduction. Most importantly, he still held military power. With military power in hand, he was still the powerful minister Ji Wuye, and the Nightfall was still the Nightfall.

Is it worth risking your life for the position of Grand General?

For a moment, Ji Wuye's heart was deeply shaken. If King Han wanted his life, he would fight to the death, even if it meant dragging the entire state of Han into hell. But if he only lost his position as Grand General, the most important military power would still be in his hands—

An empty title —

Ji Wuye hesitated.

As Ji Wuye hesitated, Han Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he understood why King Han An and Yang Che had previously...

The most important thing is to emphasize that gold is the key; if Ji Wuye is really pushed too far, he might just flip the table.

Thinking of Ji Wuye's intense killing intent that had just surged and then quickly subsided, Han Fei felt a lingering fear. Even with Wei Zhuang by his side, he was still terrified.

"Ji Sikong, accept the decree." Now that he was certain that Ji Wuye wouldn't overturn the table, Han Fei felt more confident, and his tone became much calmer.

"Your subject accepts the decree." Ji Wuye took the decree, stood up, and then his gaze met Yang Che's.

This collision was like enemies meeting, their eyes blazing with hatred.

Just you wait. Once this is over, I'll push Li Kai out. I want to see if you really have the power to save Liu Yi. Given Liu Yi's crimes, even being slowly sliced ​​to death wouldn't be an exaggeration.

But why does his gaze look so strange?

How could Yang Che not look at him strangely? Now that Ji Wuye has gone from being a general to a high-ranking official, what about Yang Che, who was originally the high-ranking official?

Surely a country can't have two Grand Ministers of Works?

Being stared at by Yang Che and Ji Wuye at the same time was something even Han Fei, with his strong mental fortitude, couldn't quite handle for a moment.

Han Fei cleared his throat, composed himself to appear more calm, and said, "I also have another decree from the King here. Lord Yang, please accept the decree."

"Your subject receives the decree." Yang Che stepped forward, his face showing a strange expression. Compared to Ji Wuye, who was still unable to react, Yang Che was more intelligent, so he had already seen some clues and had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Han Wang An, you're a ruthless person!

"During his tenure as the Grand Commandant Yang Che in Nanyang—"

The edict was initially intended to highlight Yang Che's achievements, and this was not an exaggeration but rather a testament to his genuine political accomplishments.

Ji Wuye listened from the side, but the more he listened, the more something seemed wrong. Why couldn't Han Wang An have praised Yang Che at any other time? Why now?

However, Ji Wuye quickly realized what was happening; he could see cold sweat on Han Fei's temples.

At an even more outrageous moment, Han Fei subconsciously moved closer to Wei Zhuang. Although Wei Zhuang remained expressionless, Han Fei's actions caused his gaze to shift slightly as he secretly glanced at the contents of the decree.

Upon closer inspection, she almost lost the ability to maintain her public persona.

"Yang Che is hereby appointed as Grand General, effective immediately." After reciting the last sentence, Han Fei moved closer to Wei Zhuang. He knew very well how devastating these words were, and he didn't want to get splattered with blood.

Sure enough, as soon as the words appointing Yang Che as Grand General were read out, Ji Wuye's eyes turned red.

He could tolerate losing the position of Grand General, since he still held military power, but to appoint Yang Che as Grand General? Wasn't that a blatant humiliation?

"Yang Che, you despicable and shameless scoundrel!" Ji Wuye, now exposed, turned around, drew his battle sword, and slashed down at Yang Che with furious force.

Wei Zhuang almost instinctively pulled Han Fei aside, taking a step back. In that instant, he finally understood Ji Wuye's strength. With his current cultivation level, he was no match for Ji Wuye.

What about Yang Che?

Although Yang Che was renowned for his literary talent, he was never known for his martial prowess.

However, what happened next was completely unexpected for Wei Zhuang. His indifference could no longer be maintained and instantly turned into astonishment.

Han Fei was also shocked.

What did they see? Yang Che actually caught Ji Wuye's knife, and he caught it with one hand.

Yang Che raised his right hand and grabbed Ji Wuye's battle blade. The sharp blade and domineering sword energy could not break through his palm.

Could it be that Ji Wuye was just bluffing and hadn't used his true strength?

But—the next instant, Han Fei and Wei Zhuang completely rejected this conjecture. Behind Yang Che, wood chips flew everywhere, directly splitting Ji Wuye's attack from the center and destroying it on both sides. Yang Che, who was at the center of the storm, was completely unharmed and unmoved.

"General Ji, I am the Grand General. Are you trying to commit insubordination?" Yang Che said slowly, holding his sword with one hand.

Yang Che's calm demeanor appeared entirely different to Ji Wuye. He struggled to lower his sword, but could not inflict any harm on Yang Che.

His knife could be caught by someone, that's fine, but how could it be caught by someone empty-handed, especially with one hand?

Ji Wuye felt that everything she was seeing was fake, and that this world was truly absurd.
