Chapter 173 You'll Regret It


A cruel and cold reality was laid out before Ji Wuye: Yang Che's martial arts were far superior to his, and not just by a fraction, but by a significant margin.

He, the great general who was hailed as the strongest general in Korea in a century—no, he is now the Grand Minister of Works—has encountered an opponent he cannot defeat.

Under Ji Wuye's unpleasant expression, Yang Che slowly moved his battle sword away, then released his grip, casually withdrawing his hand into his sleeve, and said nonchalantly, "Ji Sikong, I will let bygones be bygones for your insubordination because you acted on impulse. But if there is a next time, don't blame me for not warning you."

"Yang Che, good, good, good." Ji Wuye trembled as he sheathed his sword, laughing in exasperation, but ultimately lacked the courage to strike Yang Che a second time.

Unless he mobilizes the elite soldiers in his mansion to surround and kill Yang Che, he has no chance of winning.

At this moment, he realized that Yang Che's martial arts skills were not just on par with his own, but far superior. Even if Bai Yifei came, it might not be of any use unless he and Bai Yifei joined forces, in which case they might have a chance of winning.

As for launching an army to surround and kill Yang Che, that would only be possible if he really decided to rebel. More importantly, even if he did that, he might not be able to capture Yang Che. Yang Che could not defeat him, but he could easily escape.

Unless Ji Wuye himself is willing to risk everything and fight to the death, but for now, he has only lost the position of Grand General, he still has military power in his hands, so there is no need for him to fight to the death.

However, Ji Wuye couldn't bring himself to admit defeat. He was used to being in control of everything, and now he was caught in a dilemma, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

You just wait. You broke your promise first, so don't blame me for pushing Li Kai out and using your uncle's head to wipe away this shame from my body.

Seeing this, Han Fei quickly stepped in and said, "Please don't be angry, gentlemen. Peace is the most important thing."

At this moment, he finally understood why his father had shown mercy to Ji Wuye. It was because they really couldn't push the other party too far, otherwise no one knew what the crazed Ji Wuye might do.

"General, please forgive me. I acted impulsively and couldn't help myself. But your martial arts skills are truly amazing. I'm afraid there's no one in the entire Han Kingdom who can be your match." Ji Wuye changed his expression, as if someone else had attacked Yang Che earlier.

"You're too kind, Minister Ji. We're all ministers in the same court, so there's no need for formalities," Yang Che laughed. Then, amidst Ji Wuye's puzzled gaze and Han Fei's astonished look, he walked directly to the main seat in the hall and sat down casually.

This is— Han Fei's eyes widened in surprise. What was Yang Che going to do?

"This location is indeed excellent, Ji Sikong. When are you planning to move to the Sikong Mansion? I'd like to move into this General's Mansion as well." Yang Che leaned on the huge table with one hand, his arrogant and domineering demeanor even more arrogant than Ji Wuye's.

"No, brother-in-law, could you please stop provoking this tiger? If it goes berserk, even if you're skilled in martial arts and manage to fight your way out, my small frame can't withstand it!" Han Fei was on the verge of despair. How could he have encountered someone like Yang Che?

Even at this point, he's still provoking Ji Wuye.

However, now that the Grand General has become the Grand Minister of Works, and the Grand Minister of Works has become the Grand General, their residences do indeed need to be switched.

"You—" Ji Wuye clenched his teeth in anger as he looked at Yang Che, who was arrogant after getting his way. He felt as if he was experiencing the feelings of those who had been bullied by Yang Che in the past.

But now it's his turn to be bullied.

"I'll endure it. Once I get through this, we can settle this score later." Ji Wuye told himself, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to resist rushing forward and fighting Yang Che to the death.

"I'm moving today," Ji Wuye said through gritted teeth.

"Then I'll go back and tidy up first, so I can make room for the Sikong Mansion for Ji Sikong," Yang Che said with a smile, emphasizing the words "Ji Sikong".

Han Fei was terrified and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

The existence of the powerful minister Ji Wuye in the Korean court had already created chaos, and now with the addition of Yang Che, what will become of the Korean court in the future?

Han Fei returned with great ambition, determined to cleanse the Han court and lead the country to new heights. Before his return, he had already made a plan, aiming to make Ji Wuye his ultimate target.

But right now—Han Fei thought for a moment and glanced at Yang Che again. If Yang Che became the second Ji Wuye, then he would have a real headache.

South Korea is too small; how can it allow two powerful ministers to exist?

Will Father's method of checks and balances really be without problems? Moreover, compared to Ji Wuye, that vicious wolf, Yang Che seems to have the appearance of a tiger.

Especially the scene where Yang Che caught the blade bare-handed—he clearly saw Wei Zhuang's shock in that instant. Such a person, once he becomes an enemy—

Han Fei thought to himself, then quickly stopped himself from thinking, "It shouldn't be, right?"

"No, no, maybe he really is a good brother-in-law?" Han Fei said to himself. His past worries about Honglian didn't seem so important at this moment.

"General, you are very good, very good, but don't forget that not all the people around you are as capable as you." Ji Wuye suppressed most of his anger, but there was still one breath he couldn't hold back.

"You're absolutely right," Yang Che replied curtly. He was also helpless about that matter. He was confident he could protect Liu Yi, but Liu Yi had his own ideas, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"You'll regret this," Ji Wuye said angrily.

"Maybe."

In the palace of the King of Han, Liu Yi reported to King An that Li Kai had reappeared.

"Li Kai? You—" Han Wang'an looked at Liu Yi with a shocked expression.

Besides Liu Yi's lustful intentions, Liu Yi also played a role in Li Kai's death back then. The reason was simple: Li Kai was not one of his men.

If the case of Li Kai's downfall is truly investigated, he himself will be implicated.

What's going on here? Is it one problem after another?

"Your Majesty, Li Kai has now appeared. He has come with a grudge. If we want to quell this matter, there is only one way," Liu Yi said resolutely.

He was an extreme person. For Madam Hu, he could frame his colleagues. He was equally extreme; for Yang Che, he could risk everything.

He was completely disappointed in Madam Hu. Right now, his greatest hope was that Yang Che could make something of himself. He no longer wanted to live a life of emotional abuse.

It's time to put an end to this.

He was with Li Kai and Madam Hu.
