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

The Poison King, hunched over, waded through the rain to Tianze.

"Master, all the birds on the mountain have died or been injured."

After the first Hundred Birds were wiped out, the remaining Hundred Birds were all recalled from places like Xinzheng and Nanyang. They were not weak, but their numbers were small, and they were easily surrounded and killed by Tianze and his two companions.

The Corpse-Driving Demon completed its mission and reported, "Master, the thirty-six chests of treasure have been thrown into the blood pool."

Tianze said in a low voice, "Leave, find a place to hide, so as not to be trapped by the night."

If Cao Ze hadn't obtained the antidote, he would never have helped him like this.

However, since the King of Poisons had confirmed that Cao Ze possessed the mother Gu, he no longer had many concerns.

Xinzheng, Zilanxuan.

The flickering candlelight in the hall startled everyone.

The results of the bet are in!

"Boom—"

Suddenly a thunderclap shook the roof tiles.

Emerald Tiger stared at the dice on the table, his face ashen.

One is 242, and the other is 335.

Honglian cheered, "Zi Nu has won!"

Emerald Tiger glared furiously at Skinny Qian: "Is this all you're capable of? Didn't you say you could roll whatever number you wanted? You think you could easily roll a leopard?!"

Compared to the timid and hesitant Eason Chan in the past, Eason Chan was unusually calm tonight.

He suddenly stood up and, to Emerald Tiger's astonishment, ran out of Purple Orchid Pavilion and disappeared into the vast rain.

Mo Ya sensed something was wrong. "Bai Feng, go check it out."

Bai Feng chased after him, then returned a moment later: "The person is dead."

"How long have you been dead?" Mo Ya asked in a deep voice.

Bai Feng said, "At least one hour."

Mo Ya instantly realized that Jade Tiger had been set up by Zi Lan Xuan.

He looked at Cao Ze, who was frowning, and wondered if Cao Ze had ulterior motives.

Inside the hall, everyone looked at the Jade Tiger sitting alone on the ground with pity. Even if they didn't know what undercurrents were involved, a loss was a loss.

With the Iron Blood Alliance as witness, Emerald Tiger can't cheat even if he wants to.

The best outcome for the Emerald Tiger, which caused Nightfall so much damage, was death.

Han Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Qiancheng, let's go."

No wonder Ninth Brother remains as confident as ever, certain of his victory.

But by toying with the night like this, aren't you afraid that Ji Wuye will disregard the rules and make a direct move?

Han Qiancheng replied, "Yes."

Two members of the Iron Blood Alliance appeared, carrying a cauldron of fire.

"The total stakes for the four days are 32,000 gold. The Iron Blood Alliance will take half, which is 1,600 gold. Please pay this to Miss Zi Nu."

Zi Nu felt heartbroken that she had to spend money again. Why should she share the money that she and Cao Ze had worked so hard to earn?

But she appeared calm and elegant, saying, "Red Jade Butterfly, give away 1,600 gold pieces."

The Iron Blood Alliance took the money, carried the fire cauldron, and turned to leave.

Honglian excitedly hugged Cao Ze, "Haha! We won! So much money!"

Cao Ze patted Honglian's head and chuckled, "There are too many people. Be careful your brother won't let you out again."

Honglian pouted, "He wouldn't dare!"

On the second floor, Han Fei was both excited and in pain.

Nightfall was really unlucky, and he was sad too...

Han Fei felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the nearly 20,000 gold coins on the table.

When will this be resolved?

Do you want to sell your girl?

He looked at Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang stood up and said calmly, "This is your debt."

Han Fei: "..."

Chapter 314 A Fierce Woman Descends from the Sky

The jade tiger was carried to the general's mansion by Cao Ze's men.

"Sir... what exactly is going on?"

"The Emerald Tiger asked in fear."

He had only one thought in his mind: he had been tricked by Zilanxuan, and the gamblers he had hired had been replaced by Zilanxuan's people.

Cao Ze sighed deeply: "Brother Tiger, how could you not have taken good care of such a crucial person as Skinny Qian?"

Jade Tiger's legs trembled, and his face was contorted with grief: "Please, sir, save me!"

Cao Ze gave Emerald Tiger a helpless look: "Brother Tiger, I'm in a precarious situation myself... good luck to you..."

A flash of lightning illuminated Emerald Tiger's pale face, making it look particularly eerie.

Bai Feng carried the corpse of Skinny Qian with one hand.

Mo Ya stepped forward and said to Emerald Tiger and Cao Ze, "Gentlemen, the General and the Marquis are waiting for you."

Jade Tiger clung to Mo Crow's leg: "Lord Mo Crow, save... um..."

Ji Wuye had already stepped forward, his gaze fixed coldly on the Emerald Tiger.

"Tiger, if you don't give an explanation tonight, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The jade tiger's face was ashen.

But his will to survive made him think: "General, it's the shameless Zilan Pavilion that switched the person!"

Ji Wuye snorted coldly, "Then why do you still want to gamble?"

Emerald Tiger's face was ashen. He looked at Cao Ze and gritted his teeth: "Mr. Cao Ze transmitted his voice to me, saying that Zi Nu doesn't know how to gamble!"

Ji Wuye looked coldly at Cao Ze: "Is that so?"

Cao Ze cupped his hands and said, "I communicated with Emerald Tiger telepathically and pointed out that I was suspected. Otherwise, Zi Nu would not have suddenly replaced me."

Ji Wuye said calmly, "Mo Ya."

Mo Ya cupped his hands and said, "General, Zi Nu of Zi Lan Xuan did indeed temporarily replace Mr. Cao Ze."

Bai Yifei walked over slowly and, seeing this scene, said with a faint smile, "General, your men don't seem very reliable. Mr. Cao Ze has already pointed out the situation, yet you still want to gamble."

Ji Wuye took a deep breath. The reason he had orchestrated the ghost soldiers' robbery of the funds was to alleviate Nightfall's strained finances. Now, he had lost another 16,000 gold coins, which had been used by Zilanxuan to aid the enemy. He was extremely distressed.

He was now being ridiculed by this damned monkey, which made it hard for him to swallow his anger.

"Someone come here!"

Ji Wuye roared, "Throw Jade Tiger into prison!"

Jade Tiger was slightly taken aback, then quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, General, for sparing my life!"

Ji Wuye flicked his sleeve and snorted coldly: "Mo Ya, muster the elite cavalry of the personal guards. When the rain stops, follow me to Ghost Mountain!"

He didn't kill Jade Tiger for two reasons: first, he didn't want Bai Yifei to laugh at him; second, there was still the Baiyue treasure in Ghost Mountain.

Bai Yifei's lips curled slightly as he left the general's mansion through the rain; he needed to take action as well.

Yingge stood quietly to the side, secretly glancing at the composed Cao Ze out of the corner of her eye, secretly amazed by Cao Ze's prowess.

She originally thought that Cao Ze would break with Nightfall after swindling so much money from Nightfall, but she never expected that Ji Wuye would continue to employ him.

At the fifth watch (around 5 AM).

Before dawn, the rain gradually subsided, but the air remained misty and exceptionally humid.

Hundreds of warhorses galloped along the official road under cover of darkness.

The one leading them was none other than Ji Wuye.

Corresponding to this were the three hundred ice-armored soldiers with gleaming silver armor led by Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei.

The massive troop movement of nearly a thousand soldiers leaving the city caused considerable turmoil in Xinzheng, with widespread panic and many minor nobles beginning to pack their belongings and prepare to seek refuge abroad for a period of time.

Before dawn, King An Tian of Han summoned Han Yu, Han Fei, and Zhang Kaidi.

"What brings Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei out of the city?"

King Han An was sweating profusely, fearing that someone would tell him that the two were planning a rebellion.

Zhang Kai calmly said, "According to the garrison commander, the General and the Marquis have discovered the whereabouts of Tianze and other Baiyue remnants."

Han Yu said in a deep voice, "The remnants of the Baiyue are only a handful of people, why are they making such a big show of it? Father, there must be something fishy about this."

Han Wang An looked at Han Fei, who had remained silent, and said, "Ninth Brother, you speak."

Han Fei cupped his hands and said, "Father, I heard that Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei were secretly searching for some Baiyue treasure, and this treasure may have already been found by the remnants of Baiyue. Presumably, Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei are making such a big show of leaving the city to seize the treasure."

King Han An was shocked. "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Han Fei glanced at his fourth brother and Prime Minister Zhang and said, "There is only one treasure. Once Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei start fighting over it, no matter who wins or loses in the end, it will be entirely beneficial to the state of Han."

Zhang Kai looked at Han Fei with admiration and said, "I am truly getting old. Ninth Young Master's wisdom is unparalleled."

Han Yu frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and smiled, "Ninth Brother, you are quite capable."

Han An said, "In that case, Han Fei and Han Yu, you two should immediately lead three hundred royal guards to the city gates to prepare for reinforcements."

Han Fei and Han Yu cupped their hands and said, "Your subjects obey."
