"The five ministers who investigated the ghost soldiers' robbery of military pay were found by the ghost soldiers and died tragically at home. However, my two uncles have encountered the ghost soldiers twice, but they were only slightly injured. Isn't this very strange?"
Han Fei expressed his doubts and began to analyze.
"Based on the gift that Brother Wei Zhuang asked Miss Zi Nu to give me, I have concluded that the ghost soldiers' robbery of the military pay is closely related to my two uncles. The ghost soldiers are a fictitious thing. Even if they exist, they should be in cooperation with my two uncles."
"If that's the case, why did they attack my two uncles? The first time in the Valley of Broken Souls was just a show to make the ghost soldiers' robbery look more real and credible, and the second time... From what I know, my two uncles were timid and cautious. They were almost killed by the ghost soldiers. Maybe they would betray the person behind the scenes to save their lives."
Although Han Fei had guessed that Ji Wuye was the mastermind behind the ghost soldiers' robbery of the pay, he did not point it out directly.
Wei Zhuang understood what Han Fei meant and laughed contemptuously: "If I were the one behind the scenes, I wouldn't make such a mistake. If I were to take action, I wouldn't give the two a chance to survive. Only the dead can keep secrets best. But now, although the two are injured and unconscious, they are still alive. This is indeed a very obvious signal."
Han Fei smiled and nodded.
"Yes, of course. The most crucial clue is that I discovered that whenever the officials who were responsible for the ghost soldiers' robbery were killed by the ghost soldiers, an important supporting character would appear - the crow!"
"But this time when my two uncles were attacked, there was no crow."
Wei Zhuang didn't expect that Han Fei had found such a clue, and he looked up to him.
"This does prove that they are not the same group of ghost soldiers. Do you have any idea about this third force?"
"Of course!" Han Fei raised his glass confidently and smiled. "There is still one person in Xinzheng who wants to deal with Ji Wuye, and he has the ability to participate in this robbery."
Wei Zhuang nodded slightly and recognized who Han Fei was talking about.
"Next, I still need Brother Wei Zhuang to help me."
"I have helped you once. You have to prove to me that you are still worthy of my continued help."
Wei Zhuang glanced at him indifferently.
Han Fei gave a wry smile, left a gift, and then said goodbye.
Wei Zhuang looked at the gift Han Fei gave him in return and sighed slightly.
What Han Fei gave was nothing but the book he had written, called "Five Vermin".
After leaving Zilanxuan, Han Fei did not return home, but went to Bai Yuan, intending to discuss cooperation with Bai Yuan.
He came to Bai Yuan's residence, knocked on the door, and then Yun Xi came out.
She didn't seem surprised to see Han Fei.
"Sir, you already know the purpose of Mr. Nine's visit, but it is inconvenient for you to see guests at this moment. Mr. Nine, please go back first!"
Han Fei was slightly stunned. Before he could say anything, he was blocked.
But he had gotten the news he wanted.
Han Fei sighed, bowed and prepared to return home.
Before leaving, Han Fei quickly glanced at the scene behind the door. The originally ordinary courtyard had now turned into a peach blossom forest.
Han Fei had seen Bai Yuan's ability to make peach blossoms bloom in winter, and thought it was similar to that time, so he didn't think about it too much.
Watching Han Fei leave, Yun Xi hurried back, closed the door, and then ran excitedly to the depths of the peach blossom forest to soak in the hot spring with others.
This peach blossom forest is the paradise that Bai Yuan created with the peach blossom pendant.
Apart from playing with Tao Yao, Bai Yuan had rarely been here before.
This time he took it out to make Ning Yan and others happy, and to let Yun Xi and others take advantage of it as well.
At this moment, deep in the peach blossom forest, the original hot spring has been expanded by Bai Yuan to ten times its original size.
In the hot spring, except for Bai Yuan, who is a man, the rest are naturally young and beautiful girls.
Because they were taking a hot spring bath, most of them were only wearing a thin gauze dress. The gauze dress was soaked by water and stuck to their bodies, outlining their extremely graceful curves.
The girls would sometimes play and fight, which was a feast for Bai Yuan's eyes.
Although the main purpose of bringing Ningyan and the others to the hot spring was to please them, looking at this beautiful scene, Bai Yuan himself didn't believe that he had no selfish motives.
No wonder Bai Yuan is not convenient to meet guests.
Naturally, he could only enjoy this kind of scene alone.
Ningyan and the others also knew what Bai Yuan was thinking, but they didn't care too much.
Yun Xi and others are Bai Yuan's personal guards. Some of them are like Hua Die, and have done more intimate things with them, let alone just taking a look now.
So they immersed themselves completely in this wonderful spiritual hot spring.
They really didn't expect that this hot spring would be so magical. Once they lay down, they didn't want to move anymore. They felt like they were going to melt in the hot spring.
At this moment, the slight jealousy that he had felt yesterday because of Yan Lingji disappeared.
Chapter 347 If That's Enough, Just Pretend I Didn't Say Anything
After staying in this paradise for a long time, everyone relaxed well.
Until the sun was about to set, Bai Yuan and other talents reluctantly left this paradise.
At this time, the girls' faces were still red, and it was not known whether it was because they had been soaking in the hot spring for too long or due to other factors.
In this regard, Bai Yuan, who knew the truth, consciously remained silent.
"By the way, who will go to the dinner with me tonight?"
As soon as he changed back into his usual clothes, Bai Yuan asked Ning Yan and others.
In the morning, Bai Yuan received an invitation from Mo Ya. Ji Wuye was hosting a banquet at the General's House tonight and invited him to attend.
This banquet might be the Hongmen Banquet, but Bai Yuan still decided to go and take a look.
Hearing Bai Yuan's words, Ning Yan shook her head slightly: "I won't go."
"If Sister Ningyan doesn't go, then I won't go either!"
Jimo Huaxue continued Ningyan’s words and agreed with her choice.
Then Bai Yuan turned his gaze to the Black and White Sisters and the Snow Girl, but the three of them also shook their heads.
"We are not interested in this kind of banquet, so forget it."
Seeing that they all refused, Bai Yuan did not force them.
"Well, I'll go by myself tonight, you guys have a good rest at home."
When they heard the word "rest", the blushes on Ning Yan and others' faces that had finally faded away reappeared, and they couldn't help but roll their eyes at him.
It's all his fault!
Calculating the time, Bai Yuan set off for the general's mansion for a banquet.
This time, Ji Wuye did not hold a grand banquet, but rather kept it very low-key. The entire general's mansion was the same as usual, and at least from the outside, it was hard to tell that Ji Wuye was going to host a banquet for Bai Yuan.
When Bai Yuan arrived, Mo Ya was waiting here, responsible for leading Bai Yuan in.
On the way, the two of them didn't communicate at all except for a greeting at the beginning.
Bai Yuan looked at the layout of the general's mansion, and with the help of the sensing of qi, he quickly figured out the entire mansion.
When they arrived at the pavilion in the general's mansion that was specially used for receiving guests, Ji Wuye had been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing Bai Yuan coming, he immediately walked forward with a smile.
"Last night, Lord Longquan and Lord Anping were attacked by ghost soldiers in their mansion. This general couldn't hold a big banquet. I hope Mr. Bai Yuan will forgive me for the poor hospitality tonight!"
Bai Yuan smiled slightly.
"General Ji took time out of his busy schedule to host a banquet for me. Bai Yuan feels deeply honored. How can I forgive him?"
Seeing that the first wave of attempts was fruitless, Ji Wuye calmly invited Bai Yuan to take a seat.
Then he clapped his hands: "The guests have arrived, serve the food!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two teams of maids came in carrying a variety of dishes and served Ji Wuye and Bai Yuan respectively.
Although the ceremony was not grand, Ji Wuye had obviously put a lot of effort into this banquet.
There are all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. Although South Korea is located in the inland, far away from the ocean, Ji Wuye still managed to get the freshest abalone and sea cucumber.
In addition, there are many precious wines that Bai Yuan has never tasted.
Having delicious food and wine is not enough.
Ji Wuye waved his hand and called a group of dancers to dance to liven up the atmosphere.
It has to be said that Bai Yuan has seen this scene many times and is no longer as interested as he was when he first saw the dancer dancing in Daliang.
In this era, nobles enjoyed watching people dancing while eating and drinking.
At first Bai Yuan thought it was very novel and interesting, but now he didn't even feel the slightest bit of excitement.
Although the dancing skills of these dancers arranged by Ji Wuye are not bad, they are far inferior to those of Xue Nu and others.
Bai Yuan often admired the extraordinary dancing of the Snow Girls and others, but now when he watched these people's performances, he could only watch them for fun.
Soon, after watching the dance, eating the meal and drinking the wine, Ji Wuye perhaps ran out of patience and decided to get down to business.
He withdrew the dancers and asked Mo Ya to lead people to guard the attic. Anyone who came within a hundred meters of the attic could be killed without reporting to them later.
After doing all this, Ji Wuye felt comfortable discussing serious matters with Bai Yuan.
"Yesterday, Mr. Bai Yuan said that he wanted to use 100,000 gold to buy the Suihou Pearl from this general. I wonder how you got to know that the Suihou Pearl is in my possession?"
Bai Yuan smiled and said, "Of course I have my own channels, which are inconvenient to disclose. However, since the general already knows my conditions, I wonder if the general has considered it?"
Ji Wuye didn't really think about finding out Bai Yuan's source of information, and was not disappointed with the answer.
He raised his glass, sipped the wine and replied, "One hundred thousand gold is indeed not a small sum, but this general likes the pearl very much, and I really can't sell it to you, sir."
"If 100,000 gold is not enough, I can add more. How about 200,000 gold?"
Bai Yuan said calmly.
Ji Wuye raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Bai Yuan to double his anger just because of a disagreement.
When Bai Yuan saw that Ji Wuye didn't reply, he continued to raise the price: "If it's still not enough, I can continue to raise it, three hundred thousand gold!"
Ji Wuye's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little moved.
However, it was not over yet. Without waiting for his reply, Bai Yuan quoted a new price.
"If that doesn't work, how about 500,000 gold?"
Five hundred thousand gold! This is already an astronomical figure.
Even though the Suihou Pearl is extremely precious and can be regarded as a national treasure, compared to 500,000 gold, what is a Suihou Pearl worth?
Ji Wuye even wanted to agree to Bai Yuan's conditions directly.
If a Suihou Pearl could be exchanged for 500,000 gold, he could recruit soldiers and build a powerful army to directly replace the King of Han. This would be the capital to become king!
But Bai Yuan seemed to see the fluctuations in his heart. Just when Ji Wuye's heart was beating fast, he suddenly smiled and said, "Is it enough? If not, I can add more. If it is enough, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Ji Wuye almost choked to death on his saliva after hearing these words.
It turns out that what Bai Yuan said just now was all a joke!
Ji Wuye suddenly felt a little angry. It had been a long time since he had been teased like this.
"I was just joking with the general just now. Since it is the general's favorite thing, how can I take it away from him?"
Bai Yuan tested Ji Wuye's bottom line with a hint of ridicule.
Ji Wuye clenched his fists, narrowed his eyes, and ultimately did not turn against Bai Yuan.
He changed the subject somewhat stiffly.
"Let's not talk about the Suihouzhu matter for now. This general has something unclear. I hope Mr. Bai Yuan can explain it to me."
"Oh? Tell me."
"When the ghost soldiers attacked Longquan Jun and Anping Jun yesterday, Mr. Bai Yuan should have been nearby, right?"
"Do you suspect that I have something to do with the ghost soldiers?"
Bai Yuan's brows twitched slightly.
"I dare not! I'm just a little curious."
"Don't be curious. I was the one who sent the ghost soldiers. I also know everything about the ghost soldiers' robbery you planned."
Bai Yuan pointed out the matter directly.
