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

After Han Fei realized what was happening, he immediately spat out a "Pah!"

All he knows is playing with women!

Having a brother-in-law like this is the greatest disgrace of Han Fei's life!

The General's Mansion.

Ji Wuye listened to Mo Ya's report with a gloomy expression.

"Where is the Crown Prince?!"

Mo Ya said, "My subordinate infiltrated the Crown Prince's residence to investigate, but was blocked by poisonous fog and zombies. I can only confirm that the Crown Prince is not in any danger."

Veins bulged on Ji Wuye's forehead as he suppressed his anger and looked at Bai Yifei: "My lord, I agreed to release Tianze so that he could bite the hand that feeds him, not cause me any trouble!"

Bai Yifei sneered, "I didn't expect Tianze to have such intentions. General, rest assured, I will handle it."

Everything was as he had predicted. Tianze was indeed provoked by him and went to the Crown Prince's residence to capture the Crown Prince. Now he was just waiting for Han Yu to cooperate in killing the Crown Prince so that Ji Wuye would not side with the Han royal family.

Jade Tiger said, "General, do not worry."

Ji Wuye glared fiercely at the Emerald Tiger: "Tiger, what do you mean?"

Emerald Tiger, with its round belly bulging, fawned, "General, think carefully. Why does Tianze want to capture the Crown Prince? Killing a Crown Prince will only anger you and the State of Han, and will not benefit Tianze at all."

Ji Wuye's expression softened.

“Go on.”

Jade Tiger said, "Therefore, I believe that Tianze must have something to ask for by taking the Crown Prince hostage. Either it is for the antidote in the Marquis's possession, or it is to get the State of Han to cede interests. In short, Tianze will not harm the Crown Prince before he achieves his goal."

Ji Wuye sneered, "A defeated dog like you dares to threaten your master."

Bai Yifei said slowly, "Leave this matter to me. I will definitely give the general a satisfactory answer."

Before Ji Wuye could speak, Bai Yifei walked out of the main hall.

Ji Wuye's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately ordered, "Mo Ya and Bai Feng, follow the Marquis and ensure the Crown Prince's safety!"

"Yes!"

Ji Wuye's gaze was icy, but his heart was filled with worry.

According to some information from the Straw-Cloaked Guest, the Marquis has broken through the barriers and is secretly contacting various nobles.

Once the Bai family gains power...

Ji Wuye suddenly crushed the bronze wine cup in his hand.

The Crown Prince must be protected!

Chapter 301 Egg Hot Compress

In the soft moonlight, an owl flapped its wings and swept past the animal heads on the eaves, landing on the back of the stone lion at the bridgehead.

Its orange-yellow eyes stared unblinkingly at Han Fei, who was leaning against the bridge railing, panting heavily.

A black, lightning-fast figure suddenly descended, startling the night owl, which flew away with a "coo" sound.

Han Fei sat on the bridge, leaning against it, and said weakly, "Brother Wei Zhuang, how is the situation?"

He ran all night and his lungs felt like they were about to explode.

"Han Qiancheng, the adopted son of the Fourth Prince Han Yu, has a tendency to assassinate the Crown Prince. He was stopped by Bai Feng of the Night."

Fourth Brother… Han Fei looked up at the bright moon, clear as a jade plate, and said self-deprecatingly, “Fourth Brother still can’t help himself.”

Wei Zhuang said coldly, "This is an opportunity."

"What opportunity?" Han Fei countered.

Wei Zhuang gave Han Fei a deep look.

"You are now the Minister of Justice of Han, in charge of criminal justice. Now that the Crown Prince has been captured, the King of Han will surely ask you to resolve this matter tomorrow."

Han Fei grabbed a stone pillar on the bridge railing and stood up, looking Wei Zhuang in the eye, and asked, "And then?"

"The Fourth Young Master harbors ambitions to harm the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince dies at the hands of the Fourth Young Master, then..."

“Then I will have the opportunity to become the new crown prince and the future King of Han,” Han Fei said directly.

He hadn't thought about it in that way, but that doesn't mean Wei Zhuang pointed it out and he couldn't understand it.

“Indeed, the opportunity is fleeting. If the crown prince controlled by Ji Wuye were to ascend the throne, the state of Han would have no hope.” This was the first time Wei Zhuang had spoken so deeply to Han Fei, fearing that Han Fei might not understand or might have doubts.

Han Fei sighed deeply: "The Crown Prince is still my eldest brother, and Han Yu is my fourth brother. Why should we kill each other like this?"

Wei Zhuang said coldly, "Now is not the time for indecisiveness or womanly compassion."

Han Fei said firmly, "I will not do this. I will find a way to deal with Nightfall."

Wei Zhuang inwardly thought more highly of Han Fei, but outwardly he was mocking him.

"Do you have the right to gamble with South Korea's future?"

"Whether or not we are qualified is not for you or me to decide." Han Fei turned around without looking back and said, "If Han perishes, I will perish before the country!"

This was the first time Wei Zhuang had seen Han Fei so solemn and resolute, a stark contrast to his usual carefree and easygoing demeanor.

He watched Han Fei cross the bridge and leave, gripping the Shark Tooth Sword tightly in his hand, his eyes coldly fixed on the direction of the Crown Prince's residence.

He hesitated, which was rare for him.

He knew that Han Fei's ambition was not for the throne. If he cooperated with Han Yu to kill the crown prince, Han Fei would definitely find out. Was it worth it?

An elderly man, dressed smartly and still in good health, stepped onto the bridge.

"Boss Wei, we've already checked. Apart from a few Baiyue people there, there are no other Baiyue people."

"Understood," Wei Zhuang replied calmly.

As the leader of the Seven Absolutes Hall, Tang Qi had been in the business for many years and was already very worldly-wise. She vaguely sensed the hesitation in Wei Zhuang's tone.

Wei Zhuang glanced at Tang Qi: "Is there anything else?"

Tang Qi said, "Thank you, Boss Wei, for destroying the Poison Scorpion Sect, allowing the brothers in the hall to cross the bridge."

"If you take someone's money, you have to solve their problems. That's your rule, and that's my rule for you too."

Tang Qi nodded: "Brother Wei, I'll be going now."

He understood Wei Zhuang's meaning: if they paid their monthly and annual wages on time, he would naturally step in to help them maintain the rule of the underground gangs in Xinzheng.

Wei Zhuang, with the Shark Tooth Sword slung over his back with one hand, looked at the shimmering moonlight reflected on the water's surface beneath the bridge and gave a faint "humph."

He swung his longsword repeatedly, unleashing several bursts of sword energy that splattered across the water.

Not long after, the moon and water reunited, just as before.

……

Prince's Mansion.

Out of concern for the safety of the Crown Prince in Tianze's hands, although the mansion was already heavily surrounded by the royal guards, no one dared to step forward.

Bai Yifei, dressed in a black robe that concealed his entire body, easily entered the Crown Prince's residence.

Bai Feng and Mo Ya also sneaked in, following Bai Yifei closely.

Bai Yifei had already noticed, but simply smiled coldly.

He didn't take Ji Wuye's surveillance to heart.

In the backyard of the Crown Prince's residence, Tianze, who had already sensed Bai Yifei's presence, stood up.

The moment Bai Yifei appeared, a fist as big as a washbasin came flying at him.

"boom--"

An ice crystal was shattered by Wushuang Gui, and Bai Yifei had already passed Wushuang Gui and arrived in front of Tianze.

Wushuang Gui roared and turned to attack Bai Yifei again, but Tianze stopped him by raising his hand.

Mo Ya and Bai Feng stood on the roof, arms crossed, watching.

Tianze said coldly, "Blood-Clad Marquis, you've arrived."

Bai Yifei said calmly, "If a dog is disobedient, its owner should naturally come."

Tianze clenched his fists and stared at Bai Yifei with a gloomy expression.

The Corpse-Driving Demon was poised to strike. Compared to the terrifying woman beside Cao Ze, it was not afraid of Bai Yifei, who was at most slightly stronger than its master.

Bai Yifei's lips curled slightly: "What, are you very dissatisfied?"

Tianze's snake-like eyes shrank to pinpoints as he hissed, "Give me the antidote, and the Crown Prince will give it to you."

Bai Yifei suddenly sneered: "Foolish!"

The six snake bone chains behind Tianze suddenly exploded.

The Corpse-Driving Demon brandished his cane and rang the Soul-Shaking Bell, and a dozen zombies charged fearlessly toward Bai Yifei.

But before it could even get close, it shattered into an ice sculpture on the ground.

Bai Yifei scoffed, "Such petty tricks, only fit to make a fool of yourself."

Tianze took a deep breath. With the Gu worms afflicting him, he was no match for Bai Yifei at the moment.

"Aren't you afraid the Crown Prince will die?" Tianze asked in a sinister tone, his snake-like eyes wide open.

Bai Yifei glanced at Mo Ya and Bai Feng not far away.

He continued to provoke Tianze, saying, "If you dare to kill the Crown Prince, you will all be buried with him."

Tianze said in a low voice, "You seem to really want me to kill the Crown Prince?"

Bai Yifei said expressionlessly, "You are welcome to try. Since I can help you get out, I can also lock you up again."

Tianze's expression was gloomy and uncertain, making it impossible to discern Bai Yifei's intentions.

But whatever Bai Yifei's intentions are, as long as the crown prince is in his hands, the initiative is in his hands.

The King of Poisons slowly walked over and respectfully said, "Master, Crown Prince Han has been taken care of."
