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

Bai Feng was bleeding, and his original white clothes had turned into blood-stained clothes, but the injuries were all minor and none of them were fatal.

The vulture in her hand appeared unharmed, but in reality, it had suffered severe internal injuries from Zi Nu's repeated attacks. Even if it was still alive, it would die within four or five days at most.

Bai Feng, panting, joined Mo Ya Ying Ge, while a dozen or so bird assassins blocked Zi Nu's path.

Yingge dodged Wei Zhuang's sword strike, glanced at Bai Feng, and a strange light appeared in her icy eyes. "Leave him to me."

Bai Feng, unsuspecting, handed the dying vulture to Ying Ge and shouted to Mo Ya, "Go quickly!"

Mo Ya clutched his injured arm and, with a few quick movements, created some distance between himself and Wei Zhuang.

"go!"

The three arrived quickly and left quickly.

The remaining dozen or so Hundred Birds Assassins were slaughtered to pieces by Wei Zhuang, who was not yet satisfied.

Zi Nu put away her Crimson Soft Sword and returned, saying, "The vulture has been invaded by my sword energy and will not live past tonight."

Cao Ze said, "Brother Han, we can set off now."

Han Fei scratched his head, "If we go to their doorstep again, won't Ji Wuye go crazy first?"

The risks of being imprisoned a second time are much greater than the risks of being imprisoned a first time.

Zhang Liang laughed and said, "No, Ji Wuye won't care about Wujiu. He might be more interested in talking to Brother Cao."

Han Fei laughed and said, "That's true. With Brother Wei Zhuang, this 'Grandmaster,' here, Ji Wuye won't make a move easily."

Wei Zhuang held the Shark Tooth Sword without saying a word, but his cold eyes warned Han Fei that if he said another word, Han Fei could forget about asking him for help tonight!

Han Fei shrank back and said awkwardly, "Just kidding, just kidding."

The General's Mansion.

Mo Ya ordered someone to bandage Bai Feng, while he and Ying Ge took Wu Jiu to the main hall.

Ji Wuye stood with his hands behind his back.

"General, the vulture has been brought back. And I have another piece of information to report."

Ji Wuye asked, "What intelligence?"

Mo Ya said, "We fought with Wei Zhuang. Wei Zhuang doesn't seem to have the strength of a sword master. Ying Ge and I can hold him off for quite some time."

"Hmm?" Ji Wuye asked seriously, "Has Wei Zhuang been hiding his strength?"

Mo Ya calmly analyzed, "I don't know if Wei Zhuang is hiding his strength, but they seem to care a lot about Wujiu. When we were seizing Wujiu, the lady of Zilan Pavilion repeatedly tried to kill Wujiu, as if she was trying to silence her."

"I believe that if Wei Zhuang truly possesses the strength of a Grandmaster, it will be difficult for us to take Wujiu away."

Ji Wuye pondered for a moment. Today, Mo Ya told him that Wujiu was the former Baiyue bandit Duanfa Sanlang, and he also learned about the past between Liu Yi and Bai Yifei, which aroused his strong interest in the Baiyue treasure.

Could it be that Zilanxuan also knows something?

If that's the case, then Wei Zhuang might not be the sword master he thought he was; it might just be a coincidence, and he might be overthinking things.

But it's also possible that Han Fei, who is behind Wei Zhuang, is plotting something, and we have to be careful.

He glanced at the vulture, which lay lifeless like a corpse. "Wake him up."

Yingge lowered her head, her icy eyes flashing slightly. "General, Wujiu is seriously injured and unconscious. If we wake him up, he will probably die in a moment."

"To die is to die!"

He has never been patient; he only likes to snatch what he sets his sights on.

It is enough to confirm the existence of the Baiyue treasure from the vulture's mouth.

"Yes!"

Parrot Song fired three ice-blue bird feather talismans, which instantly pierced the vulture's body.

"puff--"

The vulture straightened up and spat out a mouthful of blood. After he saw his surroundings and the expressionless Ji Wuye, he laughed bitterly.

“General…” the vulture called out weakly.

Ji Wuye snorted coldly, "Where is the Baiyue treasure?"

"...In, around Xinzheng..." The vulture coughed up blood clots of internal organs stained with black blood, his eyes bulging, barely holding on to his last breath, hoping that the secret would allow Ji Wuye to save his life.

"Why did you kill Liu Yi? And what were you doing at Zilan Pavilion?"

Yingge's icy gaze narrowed slightly, and her index finger twitched slightly.

The vulture's mouth was agape, blood flowing continuously from it. It gradually lost consciousness, its voice barely audible as it murmured intermittently, driven by instinct.

"...treasure...ghost soldiers...Azure dragon..."

Mo Ya checked the vulture's breath, looked into his unseeing eyes, bowed and said, "General, he is dead."

Yingge remained calm after perfectly completing the task assigned by Cao Ze, and had even more confidence in Cao Ze's ability to eliminate the Nightfall.

Ji Wuye's eyes were deep. "Useless. After all these years, you haven't even found a single treasure."

Mo Ya simply listened without responding or taking any responsibility.

"Mo Ya, do you think the Marquis knows about the Baiyue treasure?"

Mo Ya hesitated, then said, "According to Mr. Cao Ze, he once heard Liu Yi mention that we need to find a pool of blood filled with the stench of blood, and this pool of blood..."

“Ghost Mountain Blood Pool!” Ji Wuye snorted coldly. “I’ve always wondered why someone as fastidious as the Marquis would personally go to Ghost Mountain to order people to release blood into the Blood Pool every year.”

Mo Ya remained silent. The blood pool in Ghost Mountain was the final resting place for most of the eliminated boys and girls.

Ji Wuye frowned, deep in thought. If he disturbed the Blood Pool, Bai Yifei would definitely turn against him.

If there are Baiyue treasures in the Blood Pool, obtaining them would be good; if not...

"Report! General, the Ninth Prince Han Fei requests an audience!"

Ji Wuye's face darkened. "You brat! How dare you come here? Do you think his General's Mansion is the back garden of the royal palace?"

"Let him in!"

Han Fei entered the main hall with a smile, "I am deeply sorry to bother the general again so late at night."

"Hmph! Ninth Young Master, speak your mind. This general hasn't had enough rest yet!"

Ji Wuye glanced at Wei Zhuang, pondering whether Wei Zhuang was hiding his true strength.

Wei Zhuang stood arrogantly, showing no regard for Ji Wuye, exuding an imposing aura.

Ji Wuye was somewhat surprised and uncertain. Wei Zhuang, as a disciple of Ghost Valley, was so arrogant and fearless even in his own General's Mansion. He must be quite powerful.

Unfortunately, Mr. Cao Ze, like Jade Tiger, has brains but no real strength, leaving him without any truly capable experts.

Han Fei looked strange. Brother Wei Zhuang had been beaten into a pulp by Brother Cao, and he had just fought with Mo Ya. All of this showed that Brother Wei Zhuang's strength was not that of a Grandmaster.

But Wei Zhuang's appearance, in Cao Cao's words, was incredibly sophisticated, even surpassing that of a grandmaster. It was hard not to make the cunning and suspicious Ji Wuye think twice.

"The General has rendered meritorious service in catching the thief, and Father specially sent Fei to take away the murderer who killed Liu Yi."

Ji Wuye's face darkened even more. Not long ago, Han Fei had used the same tactic, taking away his 100,000 military pay and then giving him a one percent reward to slap him in the face.

"What thief? How come I don't know anything about them?"

Han Fei narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "The vulture is related to a past event of the Baiyue people. My father cares about it very much and he does not want the vulture to still be alive."

Ji Wuye's mood was unpredictable. He already knew from Mo Ya that Wujiu had ordered the Poison Scorpion Sect to secretly capture a person, and that person was none other than Li Kai, the former Right Sima.

Although Li Kai has been killed by Wujiu, who knows whether Li Kai, who was once Han An's trusted minister, told Wujiu about Han An's scandals and secrets?

For Han An, the vulture must be dead and his body must be found.

"Haha, I'm sorry to trouble you, Ninth Young Master. Just now, a thief broke into my residence and was beaten to death by my servants. I never expected that he was the murderer who killed Liu Yi. In that case, Ninth Young Master, please take him away."

Han Fei smiled faintly: "Thank you, General."

After Han Fei left, Ji Wuye let out a cold snort.

If it weren't for the Baiyue treasure, and if it weren't for the risk of breaking with Bai Yifei, he wouldn't have cared about Han An's feelings.

Han Fei and Wei Zhuang left the general's mansion, patting their chests repeatedly, "This time you really scared me to death, Brother Cao finally proved to be reliable for once."

His father knew nothing about this. If it weren't for the tight schedule, he would have preferred not to listen to Cao Ze, even though he thought it was okay to do this to Ji Wuye.

Wei Zhuang pursed his lips and continued walking alone.

"Hey, Brother Wei Zhuang, wait for me!"

Wei Zhuang quickened his pace; he needed to go back and cultivate all night to get revenge on Cao Ze, so he had no time to waste on Han Fei.

Han Fei, panting, caught up with Wei Zhuang. "Brother Wei Zhuang, the Marquis of Blood Robe will be returning to the city tomorrow. Could you please go and take a look?"

Wei Zhuang paused, "Understood."

Han Fei stared at Wei Zhuang's retreating figure, speechless, wondering why he had so many troublemakers around him.

Thankfully, there was Zifang, otherwise he would have almost questioned the meaning of life.

Chapter 291 Taking care of my sister-in-law

Early the next morning.

With the murderer brought to justice, the imperial guards and city guards of the Liu residence were withdrawn, and the residence became much quieter.

Dressed in plain clothes and wearing a veiled hat, Madam Hu quietly boarded Cao Ze's carriage and headed to an inconspicuous restaurant.

In the imperial court, the fourth young master Han Yu frowned slightly as he looked at Han Fei, who had solved numerous major cases.

From the intelligence he learned, both the ghost soldiers' robbery of supplies and Liu Yi's murder were inextricably linked to Ji Wuye.

Therefore, he did not rush out to fight against Ji Wuye, who supported his elder brother, the Crown Prince, but instead observed his father's attitude.

Unexpectedly, the older his father got, the more timid he became, losing all the ambition he had in his youth, and daring to force his grandfather to make him the crown prince.

If Ji Wuye succeeds and my elder brother becomes the King of Han, the state of Han will be in grave danger.

He would rather the ninth brother take the throne than the eldest brother, who would be Ji Wuye's puppet, take the throne.

Han Yu pondered with his eyes half-closed.
