Once Ji Wuye regained his composure, he quickly focused his suspicions on Yan Lingji.
Because Yan Lingji escaped from her predicament very close to the time the military pay was intercepted, she is very likely to know the whereabouts of that military pay.
It's possible that the stolen military funds were done by the very person who rescued Yan Lingji.
"Big brother, is the General's Mansion fun?"
Faced with Mo Ya's ill-intentioned invitation, Suzuki Seimei feigned innocence and said, "If the General's Mansion isn't fun, then I don't want to go there."
Mo Ya replied meaningfully, "Of course it's fun! The General's mansion has many rare treasures. As long as you can help the General solve his troubles, he will definitely give you a satisfactory gift."
"In that case, let's go visit the General's Mansion."
As soon as Suzuki Seimei finished speaking, he skipped over to Mo Ya, tugged at his arm, and said, "Big brother, I'm tired from shopping just now. How about you carry me to the General's Mansion?"
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Mo Ya. You are rewarded with 10 speed points, which you can claim at any time."
The moment Suzuki Seimei touched the black crow, a pleasant notification sound rang in his ears.
(ノ ̄ー ̄)ノノ(??_??ノ)
Seeing Suzuki Seimei's overly familiar manner, Mo Ya's lips twitched.
Is this kid really stupid, or is he just pretending?
Could he really think he's going to the General's mansion as a guest?
Although Mo Ya wanted to complain inwardly, to avoid any unforeseen complications, he didn't refuse Suzuki Seimei's request. He turned to the "Hundred Birds" assassin on the wall and ordered, "Vulture, you carry him!"
"Yes, Lord Moya!"
Upon hearing this, the hunched-over vulture, dressed in a long black robe and wearing a vulture mask, immediately jumped in front of Suzuki Seimei and squatted down with its back to him.
"Slap! Slap!"
Suzuki Seimei reached out and patted the vulture's back, shaking his head with a look of disgust. "This guy's back is so hunched, and he's so ugly. I don't want him to carry me!"
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in as Vulture. You are rewarded with two years' worth of [Innate True Qi], which you can claim at any time."
Hearing the system notification in his ear, Suzuki Seimei's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He pointed at Bai Feng not far away and said, "Why don't we have him carry me? He's dressed neatly and cleanly, and seems quite tidy. Unlike this ugly freak, who's slovenly and has a strange smell about him."
"Crunch, crunch..."
Having been humiliated by Suzuki Seimei, the vulture clenched his fists, his teeth practically grinding to powder.
The vulture admitted that he was ugly, but it was not his fault that he was ugly, and it was not the brat's place to humiliate him!
If it weren't for Ji Wuye's order to capture Suzuki Seimei and Yan Lingji alive, Wujiu would definitely have cut out this brat's tongue with his knife.
Glancing at the vulture gritting its teeth, Mo Ya said helplessly, "Alright, Bai Feng, you carry him!"
If Suzuki Harumi's demands are not met, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause?
"..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Feng walked expressionlessly to Suzuki Seimei and squatted down with his back to him.
Suzuki Seimei jumped onto Hakuho's back, hugged his neck, and shouted, "Giddy up! Giddy up! Let's ride the big horse~"
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in as Bai Feng. You are rewarded with a copy of 'King of Birds,' which you can claim at any time."

"Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up..."
ヽ(`Д′)?︵┻━┻┻━┻
Hakuhou, who was being ridden like a horse by Suzuki Seimei, suddenly felt an urge to overturn the table.
However, thinking of Ji Wuye's orders, Bai Feng could only suppress her anger and carry the brat to the General's Mansion.
Under the escort of Mo Ya and his men, Suzuki Seimei soon met Ji Wuye, who was wearing armor and had an ugly appearance.
After leading Suzuki Seimei and the others into the main hall, Mo Ya cupped his hands towards Ji Wuye, who was drinking, and said, "General, the person has been brought back!"
"Yan Lingji, how dare you!"
Seeing Yan Lingji's alluring and seductive face, a glint of greed flashed in Ji Wuye's eyes. He coldly retorted with a stern face, "You dare to rob my military pay? Do you really think I wouldn't be willing to kill you?"
"General, you're really wronging me!"
Faced with Ji Wuye's questioning, Yan Lingji was full of disdain, but on the surface she pitifully said, "I am just a prisoner of the Great General. I was only able to regain my freedom thanks to my young master's help. How could I possibly have the ability to rob the Great General's military pay?"
Although Ji Wuye knew that Yan Lingji's pitiful appearance was definitely an act for his benefit, looking at her pitiful expression, Ji Wuye's anger dissipated by more than half.
no way!
Who can blame Yan Ling Ji for being so beautiful?
Unless one is a paragon of virtue, how could a normal man bear to be angry with her?
After staring at Yan Lingji for a while, Ji Wuye reluctantly withdrew his gaze, turned to Suzuki Seimei, and said with a slight narrowing of his eyes, "Kid, tell the people behind you to hand over the military pay, and this general may spare your life!"
Because Suzuki Seimei's appearance was so deceptive, Ji Wuye simply did not believe that he had taken away the 100,000 taels of gold all by himself.
"Hahaha……"
Upon hearing this, Suzuki Seimei sneered with disdain, "Spare my life? Ji Wuye, you're really like a toad yawning—what a big mouth you have!"
"You brat, do you really think this general wouldn't dare kill you?!"
Seeing Suzuki Seimei's ungrateful behavior, a cold glint flashed in Ji Wuye's eyes as he gripped the hilt of the battle sword beside him.
The reason Ji Wuye didn't directly attack Suzuki Seimei was because he was unsure of Suzuki Seimei's background and worried about provoking someone he shouldn't have.
According to the intelligence gathered by the Straw Raincoat Guest, this kid named "Qin Ming" is very likely a core disciple of a reclusive family from within the Qin Kingdom.
Moreover, when this brat was at Zilan Pavilion, he casually took out a piece of exquisite jewelry worth more than ten thousand taels of gold to serve as a bed warmer for Zi Nu and Nong Yu. The power behind him should not be underestimated.
Suzuki Seimei shook his head helplessly and said, "Ji Wuye, you've already stepped one foot into the gates of hell, yet you still dare to spout such nonsense. I don't know whether to call you stupid or slow-witted."
"What did you say……"
"do not move!"
Just as Ji Wuye was about to get angry, a magnetic voice suddenly came from behind him, like a bucket of cold water in winter, chilling him to the bone.
"!
! ”
Ji Wuye and Tong Kong suddenly shrank back, only to be horrified to find that a sharp longsword had appeared on their necks.
(○o○)
Mo Ya and the others were equally dumbfounded upon seeing this.
Because Mo Ya and the others had just witnessed Aizen, wielding the Demon Slayer Sword, appear out of thin air behind Ji Wuye, rather than sneaking up on him.
"Don't move! Or your head will be cut off, and don't blame me!"
Aizen exerted a slight force with the Demon Slayer Sword in his hand, and the sharp blade instantly pierced through Ji Wuye's skin. His left hand transformed into a claw and gripped Ji Wuye's shoulder.
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in, Ji Wuye. You are rewarded with seven years of [Innate True Qi], which you can claim at any time."
The moment Aizen touched Himeko, a pleasant notification sound rang in Suzuki Seimei's ears.
"Let's talk this out calmly, don't be impulsive..."
Feeling a sharp pain in his neck, Ji Wuye's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly released his grip on the battle sword.
Ji Wuye wanted to retaliate earlier because he had cultivated a body-strengthening martial art, and had already reached the point where he was impervious to blades and spears. He wanted to rely on his defensive power to withstand Aizen's sword strike head-on.
However, the sharpness of the Demon-Slaying Sword far surpasses that of ordinary weapons, capable of instantly breaking through Ji Wuye's defenses. Before he could even retaliate, Aizen's sword would likely sever his head first, so of course he wouldn't dare to move rashly.
Seeing Ji Wuye back down, Suzuki Seimei then seriously began to deceive him: "Ji Wuye, the older brother standing behind you is named Aizen. He is a sword slave given to me by my second uncle."
Aizen's greatest skill is assassination; he came into the general's mansion with us just now.
Unfortunately, none of the hundreds of guards in the general's mansion noticed his presence. Do you think you still have the right to demand my military pay?
"Sword Slave?!"
Upon hearing Suzuki Seimei's words, Mo Ya and the others shrank back abruptly, their faces filled with disbelief.
Judging from the ghostly movements Aizen made when he appeared out of nowhere behind Ji Wuye and unintentionally displayed, Mo Ya and the others could be certain that Aizen was a top-notch master.
But such a top-notch master is merely a sword slave in Suzuki Seimei's words. How terrifying must the power behind him be?
"It's a misunderstanding! Everything that happened today was a misunderstanding!"
Mo Ya and the others could think of this, and Ji Wuye could naturally think of this as well. He forced a smile and said, "That 100,000 taels of military pay was clearly robbed by the Zheng Kingdom's ghost soldiers. How could it possibly be related to Young Master Qin Ming?"
Even if 100,000 taels of gold were precious, it wouldn't be as precious as his own life. With Aizen already holding a sword to his neck, how could Ji Wuye possibly dare to ask him for those military pays?
"Misunderstand?"
Suzuki Seimei frowned slightly, his face showing displeasure, and said, "Ji Wuye, robbing military funds is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family. You don't mean to dismiss me with a misunderstanding, do you?"
(╬ ̄Dish ̄)
Seeing Suzuki Seimei lying through his teeth without batting an eye, Ji Wuye suddenly felt an urge to hurl profanities.
Everyone present knew perfectly well that the 100,000 taels of gold had been stolen by Suzuki Seimei.
But now he was at the mercy of others, like a fish on a chopping board. Even if Ji Wuye was unwilling, he could only watch helplessly as the other man called a deer a horse.
Feeling the blade of the Demon-Slaying Sword penetrate even deeper into his neck, Ji Wuye quickly asked with a forced smile, "This...this matter was indeed rash on my part. I wonder what I should do to appease Young Master Qin?"
