People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

My little sister is probably going to suffer a great loss in the future.

"what?"

The three beauties gasped in surprise, their delicate bodies turning cold.

Ji Wuye sneered, "Hehe, this is indeed quite interesting."

A table and a bamboo tube containing three bamboo sticks labeled "A, B, C" were brought up by the soldiers and placed in the middle of the three beautiful women.

Han Fei smiled and said, "My three beauties, please draw lots."

"Ah..." The three beauties looked at each other, none of them wanting to draw lots. If they were wrong, someone could really die.

Ji Wuye slammed his hand on the armrest in anger, "Draw lots now! Otherwise, take him away and execute him right now!"

The three beauties were all as if they had lost their parents, and they reached out to draw lots with trepidation.

The beauties who drew "A" and "B" were ashen-faced, while those who drew "C" were overjoyed.

Ji Wuye waited with his eyes closed.

Han Fei spoke eloquently, one hand behind his back, saying, "According to common sense, beauties who draw the A or B lot can only give up the gold coins, while beauties who draw the C lot can get all the gold coins."

Ji Wuye opened his eyes: "This kind of game is worse than just stealing!"

Han Fei smiled and said, "However, is that really the case?"

Ji Wuye pondered, realizing he knew absolutely nothing about this path, and habitually looked at the Emerald Tiger.

Tigers should know these paths best.

"Tiger, what do you think?"

Jade Tiger was on the verge of tears; he had no idea either.

"General, Mr. Cao Ze should be good at this kind of problem."

Emerald Tiger looked at Cao Ze as if he were a savior.

Upon realizing that Cao Ze was well-versed in various schools of thought, Ji Wuye immediately asked, "Mr. Cao Ze, what is the mystery behind this game?"

Han Fei, who had been calm and composed, panicked.

Goodness, I forgot there was another good guy here.

Behind Ji Wuye's back, Han Fei kept giving Cao Ze meaningful glances, almost begging for help.

Cao Ze grinned, his lips barely moving as he transmitted his voice, "Brother-in-law, shouldn't you acknowledge me as your brother-in-law now? If you do, blink."

Han Fei gritted his teeth, his face twitching. Taking advantage of someone's misfortune, how inhuman!

But since things have come to this, we have no choice but to accept this cheap brother-in-law for now!

Chapter 285 True enjoyment comes from sharing the fun

Han Fei yielded.

Cao Ze immediately offered a helping hand: "Reporting to the General, the key to this game is not how the gold coins are divided, but the rule-makers. The weak can only abide by the rules set by the strong."

Ji Wuye, holding his wine cup, laughed loudly: "Sir, you are right. It doesn't matter who gets the gold coins in the end. This general can give them to them, but they cannot ask for them!"

Han Fei thought to himself, "Brother-in-law, you're not being fair."

Wei Zhuang's face, hidden beneath his black robe, twitched slightly. He couldn't understand how he could have lost to such a shameless fellow.

Ji Wuye's expression turned serious: "Ninth Young Master, you may now give your answer. This general is all ears."

Han Fei's mind worked quickly. "Since Mr. Cao Ze has added an outsider, then I'll add a prop too."

"What prop?"

Han Fei slowly took out an exquisite wooden box and opened it.

"There is a powder in here that can glow in the night. It was developed by a friend of mine who is an expert in rare stones and medicines, before my two uncles died, at my request."

Ji Wuye slowly stood up. "Oh? What is the purpose of this powder, young master?"

Han Fei laughed and said, "Please turn off the light, General. You'll know immediately."

Ji Wuye had a bad feeling and said with a grim face, "Turn off the lights!"

The dozens of lights inside the hall went out in an instant, leaving only a dark shadow faintly visible.

Wei Zhuang snorted softly, recognizing the man as the one who had sneaked into Zilan Pavilion tonight to find Cao Ze.

Han Fei remained calm and gently scattered the stone powder from the box onto the ground, instantly creating a striking fluorescent glow in the room.

Emerald Tiger looked at the glowing powder on the ground with great interest and instantly came up with many good ideas for making money.

Cao Ze couldn't help but worry. He had heard that this thing had radiation in ancient times. Could it be true?

He had to hurry, lest his brother-in-law not live to attend his wedding with Xiao Honglian.

Ji Wuye frowned.

Han Fei walked lightly and happily on the fluorescent powder for a couple of steps, then casually walked around the room a few more times, leaving several fluorescent footprints in the room.

"Does the general understand now?"

Han Fei answered his own question: "This is the evidence that my two uncles died at the hands of villains."

Ji Wuye's expression turned ugly as he glanced at Mo Ya.

Mo Ya remained silent; he had no idea these guys were so cunning.

"Hmph, why didn't Ninth Prince bring it out sooner? Why did you have to wait until the King ordered the case closed before bringing it out?"

Han Fei smiled faintly: "That's because the military pay hadn't been found yet. Now that the military pay has been found, there's no harm in informing the general."

Ji Wuye was furious: "Han Fei, are you provoking me, declaring war on me?"

Suddenly, the palace doors were pushed open, and seven or eight guards armed with crossbows entered, their sharp arrows aimed without hesitation at Han Fei and Wei Zhuang.

Behind the thin gauze curtains all around, shadowy figures moved about, and a murderous aura permeated the air.

Cao Ze continued to drink slowly, having already observed this place as Ji Wuye's lair.

Even a grandmaster would find it difficult to kill Ji Wuye here.

Han Fei said firmly, "If that's what you think, then so be it!"

"I have other matters to attend to, General Ji. We'll meet again at court tomorrow."

He didn't actually want to provoke Ji Wuye like this; it was too dangerous.

However, time was limited, and if they missed tonight, it would be disastrous if Ji Wuye transferred the military funds.

Ji Wuye gripped his eight-foot-long battle sword, grinning maliciously as he walked towards Han Fei. "Ninth Young Master, coming to visit me so late at night, why not stay a few more days? Otherwise, people will say I don't know how to treat guests..."

"Om-"

The sound of swords clashing rang out from Ji Wuye's eight-foot-long battle blade and Wei Zhuang's shark-tooth sword.

"Ok?"

Ji Wuye asked with some apprehension, "Shark Tooth Sword? Are you a disciple of the Ghost Valley School?"

Wei Zhuang remained silent, but gripped his sword even tighter.

Ji Wuye was stronger than he had anticipated, but he was not afraid in the slightest.

Wei Zhuang, who had expected a fierce battle, laughed heartily when he saw Ji Wuye sheath his eight-foot sword: "So you're a disciple of Guigu Valley, my apologies for my overconfidence."

"Men, light the lamps and prepare the wine! This general will drink with our honored guest until we're both drunk!"

This scene stunned not only Wei Zhuang, but also Cao Ze and Han Fei.

Is the name Guigu really that useful now?

Should he go for further studies?

The hall was brightly lit.

Cao Ze, who was originally highly regarded by Ji Wuye, no longer held a appeal for Ji Wuye.

They kept praising Wei Zhuang and the reputation of Guigu.

"I have long heard that the Guigu School often produces masters, and after meeting them today, I can see that their reputation is well-deserved."

Wei Zhuang remained silent.

Han Fei was somewhat upset. He hadn't expected Ji Wuye to back down at this moment, which was really upsetting him.

He looked to Cao Ze for help.

Cao Ze shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help, after all, Ji Wuye was notoriously cunning and unpredictable.

Ji Wuye said, "Why don't you take off your hood and have a good drink with this general?"

Wei Zhuang snorted coldly, "There's no need for drinking."

Seeing that his brother-in-law was not doing his job, Han Fei said in a deep voice, "Brother Wei Zhuang, let's go!"

Ji Wuye's face darkened.

"Shh-"

Mo Ya, who had been lurking in the shadows, blocked Wei Zhuang and Han Fei's path.

Han Fei asked slowly, "General Ji, what is the meaning of this?"

Ji Wuye was caught in a dilemma.

Based on their exchange just now, Wei Zhuang was clearly a step above him. Combined with the information Mo Ya had gathered earlier, he was now inclined to believe that Wei Zhuang, the man behind Zi Lan Xuan, was the swordsman who had broken through to the Grandmaster level that day.

If he could get this person's help, what would he have to fear even if that marquis made a comeback?

Ji Wuye waved his hand and said, "Release them!"

The black crow disappeared, and the guards withdrew.

Han Fei did not expect Ji Wuye to let them leave so easily.

This is not a good thing for him.

Only by making Ji Wuye aware of the crisis will Ji Wuye fall for his scheme to lure the snake out of its hole.
