Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Chapter 615 Mother and Daughter Reunited (Second Update, Please Vote)

Early the next morning

As the first rays of sunlight rose in the morning, Suzuki Seimei, having finished washing up, looked at Mrs. Hu, who was still asleep, and couldn't help but show a somewhat helpless and proud smile on his face.

Perhaps it was because Madam Hu was too traumatized, and because Suzuki Seimei had saved her life last night, not only saving her life but also indirectly avenging the blood feud of Fire Rain Manor.

Therefore, when Madam Hu woke up in the middle of the night and saw Suzuki Seimei lying on the table keeping watch, she couldn't help but have some strange thoughts, and some things naturally happened.

At the same time, Han Fei, having learned of another murder at the Left Sima's residence, also rushed over with Zhang Liang.

To prevent Han Fei and his companions from spoiling Suzuki Seimei's enjoyment, Mo Ya took the initiative to find them and gave a general account of what had happened the previous night.

Of course!

Mo Ya naturally skipped over the details about Suzuki Seimei and Madam Hu; he wasn't the type to gossip.

Upon learning that Wujiu was the murderer of Liu Yi and that Wujiu had already been killed, Han Fei did not intend to investigate the case further. Instead, he took Zhang Liang to find Zhang Kaidi, intending to use this opportunity to launch an attack on Ji Wuye.

Regardless of whether the killing of Liu Yi by the vulture was at Ji Wuye's behest.

In any case, as long as Wujiu is Ji Wuye's man, then Ji Wuye is definitely involved in this matter.

Han Fei and his group did not expect to defeat Ji Wuye in one fell swoop. Instead, they planned to slowly weaken his power and eventually remove this malignant tumor that was parasitic on the state of Han.

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

After this period of friendly exchanges, Mrs. Hu's heart has completely fallen for Suzuki Seimei.

Although Lady Hu and Consort Hu were sisters, Consort Hu spent most of her time in the Han King's palace and didn't have much time to see her.

Therefore, after losing her husband, the weak-willed Madam Hu naturally turned to Suzuki Seimei as her new support and obeyed him without question.

Once Madam Hu was completely on his side, Suzuki Seimei began to help her reunite with Nongyu and her mother.

When Fire Rain Manor was destroyed, in order to save her daughter's life, Madam Hu entrusted her infant daughter to a loyal servant in the household and sent her away.

To make it easier for mother and daughter to recognize each other in the future, Madam Hu specially placed a fire-rain agate accessory in her daughter's swaddling clothes, which was a perfect match for the accessories she was wearing.

With the Fire Rain Agate as a token, and with the help of Suzuki Seimei, Madam Hu and Nongyu were quickly reunited as mother and daughter.

However, Nongyu couldn't bear to part with her other sisters in Zilanxuan, so she didn't go back to the Zuo Sima Mansion with Madam Hu, but continued to live in Zilanxuan.

Madam Hu had no objection to this matter. She felt extremely fortunate to be able to recognize Nongyu in her lifetime, and naturally she would not go against Nongyu's wishes.

Furthermore, according to the information gathered by Mo Ya and Bai Feng, "Blood-Clad Marquis," one of the Four Fiends of the Night, also returned to the capital last night with his personal guards to report on his duties.

The reason why Ji Wuye's "Nightfall" organization was able to dominate South Korea was mainly due to the existence of the Four Fiends.

The four fierce generals of the night are: Blood-Clad Marquis, Tide Demoness, Straw-Clad Guest, and Emerald Tiger.

Among them, "Blood-Clad Marquis" Bai Yifei is the leader of the Four Fiends. He is a hereditary nobleman of the State of Han, with the title of Blood-Clad Marquis, the fief of Snow-Clad Fortress, and the power to command 100,000 troops.

Bai Yifei's martial arts skills are unfathomable, and his strength is even greater than Ji Wuye's. Even the "Tide Demoness" Lady Mingzhu is his cousin.

Although Bai Yifei is ostensibly Ji Wuye's subordinate, he is actually more like his partner, and the two are qualified to have an equal dialogue.

Although Ji Wuye had been intimidated by Aizen before, now that Bai Yifei has returned and he has such a powerful helper, he will inevitably have some ulterior motives.

The sun sets in the west, and the moon rises in the east.

General's Mansion

Ji Wuye, who was drinking with "Jade Tiger," suddenly put down his wine glass and said with some dissatisfaction, "Tiger, the stuff you've been sending lately isn't quite right!"

"General, this is a bit of a miscarriage of justice."

Upon hearing this, the plump "Jade Tiger" quickly explained, "This is a top-quality product that I painstakingly transported back from beyond the Great Wall. It's made from ice-red grapes grown at the foot of the snow-capped mountains and along the Gobi Desert—a first-rate 'Ice and Fire Centennial Red'!"

"The wine is indeed fine, but I'm talking about the people!"

"That's true."

Jade Tiger smiled somewhat awkwardly: "General, you should understand my predicament! The best quality items were all picked over by the Empress first."

"Tide Demoness, this woman is really strange!"

"General, Her Majesty's status is too high to be discussed with."

"Humph!"

Ji Wuye couldn't help but sneer, "She's high and mighty now, but wasn't it us who put in a lot of effort to elevate her to that position back then!"

"The general is right."

Jade Tiger nodded with a smile and poured Ji Wuye a cup of wine: "However, the reward for this matter is quite generous."

￣︶￣

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye also revealed a smug smile.

Just as Emerald Tiger said, promoting the Tide Demoness to the top was definitely the most profitable deal Ji Wuye had made in recent years.

Since Chao Nu Yao became Han Wang An's favorite concubine, many of Han Wang An's thoughts and secrets have been immediately passed on to Ji Wu Ye.

It was precisely because of this that Ji Wuye's power expanded rapidly, eventually reaching a point where he held absolute power, to the point that even King Han An dared not touch him.

It should be noted that when King An of Han was young, he was not as incompetent and foolish as he is now. Otherwise, he would not have been able to bring about the downfall of the country and the destruction of the family by Tianze, and would have successfully ascended to the throne of King An of Han.

Unfortunately, after becoming King of Han, King An began to indulge in pleasure and lost all his former ambition and talent.

If it were when King Han An was young, Ji Wuye's crime of daring to plunder military funds alone would have been enough to exterminate his entire clan.

Jade Tiger smiled obsequiously, "General, please calm down. I specially saved one for you this time."

"Just one!"

Ji Wuye glared at him, his face full of displeasure, and said, "She picked the leftovers?"

"Of course not, it's something I specially reserved for you, absolutely top-quality stuff, and it's on its way!"

Hearing Jade Tiger say this, Ji Wuye's expression softened a bit. He swirled the wine cup in his hand and said, "The deep palace is lonely. If she were to seek out some men, I could understand."

But with so many young and beautiful women entering the palace, isn't she afraid of jeopardizing her own position?

Chapter 616 The Blood-Clad Marquis Who Loves to Show Off (First Update, Please Vote)

"huhuhuhu"

As soon as Ji Wuye finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly appeared out of nowhere, extinguishing half of the candlelight in the hall. A magnetic voice then rang out: "That is precisely her brilliance!"

"My lord, you've arrived!"

Upon seeing Blood-Clad Marquis appear by the window, Emerald Tiger immediately greeted him with a beaming smile.

"Humph!"

Ji Wuye, looking displeased, said, "You don't have to act all mysterious every time, do you?"

When facing Xueyi Hou, his business partner, Ji Wuye's feelings were always complicated, with seven parts fear and three parts jealousy.

What made Ji Wuye wary was naturally the 100,000 troops under the control of the Blood-Clad Marquis.

It should be noted that the 100,000-strong army under the command of the Blood-Clad Marquis is a border army that has been stationed on the border for many years, and their combat power far exceeds that of ordinary troops.

What made Ji Wuye jealous was, of course, the Blood-Clad Marquis's charming and arrogant handsome face.

The Marquis in Blood Robes ignored the displeasure in Ji Wuye's tone, instead looking up at the bright moon outside the window and coldly replying, "The light inside is too glaring."

"You just said that the Tide Fairy is clever, but in what way is she clever?"

Although Ji Wuye was somewhat displeased with Xueyi Hou, he stopped there and subtly changed the subject.

"No matter how beautiful a woman is, there will be times when she loses her appeal; a man's heart cannot be locked away."

The Blood-Clad Marquis said in a cold, hoarse voice, "Only by understanding the king's thoughts can one maintain a stable position. To satisfy a man who already has no shortage of women, one needs even more sophisticated methods."

Upon hearing this, Jade Tiger hurriedly smiled obsequiously and replied, "What you say is true, Your Excellency."

Compared to Ji Wuye, Emerald Tiger was actually more afraid of Blood-Clad Marquis, so regardless of whether what he said was right or wrong, Emerald Tiger would always fawn over him first.

""

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye revealed a thoughtful expression.

Seeing that Ji Wuye and Fei Cuihu, those two fools, had been fooled by his few words, a hint of mockery flashed in Xueyi Hou's eyes.

Lady Mingzhu selected so many beauties to enter the palace not to truly please King Han An, but to use them to refine Gu worms and for Marquis Xueyi to practice his skills.

Thanks to the deliberate concealment by Lady Mingzhu and Marquis Xueyi, Ji Wuye and Feicuihu were unaware that they were cousins; otherwise, they would never have so easily believed Marquis Xueyi's words.

Ji Wuye touched the scar on his neck and couldn't help but tighten his grip on the bronze wine vessel in his hand: "That woman has secured her position, but I've run into quite a bit of trouble."

"The general is referring to that brat named Qin Ming?"

Although Blood-Clad Marquis is stationed at the border year-round, as the leader of the Four Fiends of Night, he naturally also utilizes the intelligence network of the Straw-Clad Swordsman.

"That's right! That kid's background is too mysterious. Even the Straw-Cloaked Man couldn't find out. Just how powerful is the force behind him?"

Ji Wuye's tiger-like eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze as cold as frost, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Especially that sword slave named Aizen, this general will kill him sooner or later!"

Every time Ji Wuye thought about how Aizen held a sword to his neck and forced him to hand over Mo Ya and Bai Feng, he wished he could tear Aizen to pieces and grind his bones to dust.

The Marquis in Blood Robes said calmly, "Since the general hates this person so much, why not just devise a plan to get rid of him?"

Do you have any good ideas?

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye first showed a somewhat expectant expression, but then it turned into a look of apprehension: "That guy's stealth skills are unparalleled. If we can't hit him with one blow, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble in the future!"

In the world of Tianxing Jiuge, even the most powerful martial artists have no choice but to retreat when faced with an elite army of over a thousand men, otherwise they will be worn down and killed.

Therefore, what truly made Ji Wuye wary was not Aizen's powerful combat ability, but his unpredictable stealth skills.

Blood-Clad Marquis suddenly said with a meaningful tone, "I heard that Flame Spirit Princess has been subdued by that brat. If that jinx finds out about this, do you think he'll go after that brat?"

"General, what the Marquis said makes sense!"

Emerald Tiger's eyes lit up, and he said with a wicked smile, "That jinx is not only proficient in witchcraft, but also has a group of extraordinary people under his command. He might really be able to break Aizen's stealth technique."

Even if that jinx isn't able to break Aizen's stealth jutsu, Aizen will definitely show himself if they go after that brat.

"When the time comes, the general only needs to mobilize the army and unleash a volley of arrows. No matter how skilled Aizen's stealth techniques are, he will surely be doomed!"
