Finally, there was a consolation prize. While Han Ling comforted himself, he cursed in his heart. You win this time! Let's see how I'll deal with you next time.
With his head held high and his hands behind his back, Han Ling shook his money pouch and walked out of the door. He walked past the stairs and saw officials and gentry walking around downstairs. The central pavilion was flowing with water, and he could hear the delicate voice of a lady urging him to drink from time to time.
"Young Master, you're welcome to come again next time ~"
Ignoring the ladies on both sides of the main entrance, Han Ling walked out leisurely. He would definitely come back next time. He was still waiting to marry Violet Maiden.
When he walked to the market outside, Red Lotus and Han Fei had disappeared. Han Ling decided to go back to the General's Mansion first and then go to the courtyard of the Seven Wonders Hall to find Tang Qi in the evening. He would take back the treasures found by the Poisonous Scorpion Sect and see if there was any new information about the Emerald Tiger and Ji Wuye. The General's Mansion had been very quiet these days, and the Emerald Tiger had not left, which meant that there was something fishy going on.
" Huh?" Han Ling was surprised. He felt a gaze on him from the moment he stepped out of the door. He turned around and saw the purple curtain being blown by the breeze. The window had already been closed.
Han Ling looked at the vague figure of a person with three hairpins in her hair flash past the window paper. He laughed strangely." There's a way."
After he had walked far away, Violet Girl's lips curled up slightly as she walked from the closed window to the table. She sat down and poured herself a cup.
" He's not simple." Wei Zhuang sat opposite him, drinking from his wine goblet. His eyes had yet to retract from the window paper, and his cold voice contained a sense of certainty.
Violet Maiden took a light sip. The fragrance of the wine was strong and refreshing. After taking a light breath, she said with a smile," Perhaps he is the one who hides the deepest among all the young masters. Other than not knowing martial arts, his intelligence is first-class."
Wei Zhuang snorted and said lightly," Maybe, but there's no shortage of capable people in the world. The only difference is who you're comparing yourself with. The weaker side will be restricted by the stronger side. This is the law that doesn't change in the court or in the opposition."
Violet Maiden slowly put down her wine goblet and said," If Lu Xiaofeng, who destroyed the Poisonous Scorpion Sect, is the man in black behind him, then..."
Wei Zhuangyi frowned. Ever since he heard Han Ling and Purple Girl's conversation in the next room, he once again felt that there was something about that man that he hated. He was ignorant and incompetent, but he was also worthy of the name. He snorted and said coldly," Then he can only be the one who is restricted. Even if he becomes the King of Han in the future, the situation will be no different from the situation under Ji Wuye's control now. It's just a change of medicine."
Violet Maiden did not comment. She nodded her head rationally and said," So you don't think he will win?”
Wei Zhuang's gaze focused as he stood up and walked to the window. He looked in the direction of the extreme west, where the Qin Kingdom and the Qin royal palace were located. His eyes were like knives, and his entire body emitted a cold feeling. He said coldly," At least for now, I don't see any hope of winning! Han is still a pool of stagnant water."
.....
At night, in the residence of the Young Master of the Han King's Palace, Han Ling told the twins that he was going out for a while in his room. Then, he disguised himself as Lu Xiaofeng again. When there was no one around, he floated out of the window and used the Ascension to Immortality Step at full speed. In just a short while, he had quietly arrived at Tang Qi's secret courtyard.
The confidant of the Seven Wonders Clan, who had seen this outfit before, immediately led Han Ling into the inner room.
As soon as he entered, he saw the silver-haired Tang Qi standing up from the table with a candle lit and greeting him. His face was flushed as he cupped his hands and smiled," Young Master, you're finally here. I couldn't wait for this batch of treasures."
Han Ling smiled and said," Old Man Tang, it seems like you've gained a lot from the incident with the Poisonous Scorpion Sect. You're even joking with me now."
Tang Qi laughed and waved his hand," I wouldn't dare! I'm relying on Young Master's strength! Young Master, please take a look! These are the most valuable things that Poison Scorpion has hidden!"
Han Ling looked at the table. A square piece of silk was spread out in the middle. It was decorated with jewels, jade, and agate. The jade color was gentle and exquisite.
Han Ling casually picked up a luminous pearl and weighed it in his hand. A line of small words floated out from it," Eastern Sea luminous pearl-Mermaid's Tear, from the Kingdom of Qi, worth 20,000 gold coins." One luminous pearl inside was worth 20,000 gold coins. Thinking back, he only had 20,000 gold coins in total. This Poisonous Scorpion really hid a lot of good things.
Seeing Han Ling's emotional expression, Tang Qi sighed and said," Unfortunately, if it weren't for Ji Wuye, Poison Scorpion might have hidden a lot more things."
Even so, it was still not bad. Han Ling was in a good mood as he put the things back on the silk temporarily. He looked at Tang Qi and asked casually," Old Tang, is there any new progress on Ji Wuye's side?”
Tang Qi shook his head slightly and said seriously," Ever since the Jade Tiger secretly visited Lord Anping, things have been as usual outside Ji Wuye's residence. From afar, you can see some officials who he has cultivated. These people are just ordinary gifts, but..."
Han Ling raised his eyebrows." But what?”
Tang Qi said with a puzzled expression," Ji Wuye and the Jade Tiger didn't do anything, but there's some news from Lord Anping. He and Lord Longquan will be escorting the army's pay out of the city tomorrow!”
