"Xinzheng hasn't been peaceful recently." Bai Yifei's distant voice came from a dark corner.
"Do you even need to say that? Last night's incident caused everyone to be in a state of panic. The King of Han even asked about this matter in the morning court session today. Thankfully, it came and went quickly. King Han didn't see that giant and only heard about it. I used the remnants of the Hundred Yue to create momentum to brush it off. Damn it, there's really too much trouble.”As he spoke, Ji Wuye smashed the table hard, and one of the table corners shattered.
"Don't be angry. We have to deal with things one by one. Has the guest arrived yet? We're just waiting for his news.”As she spoke, the tide demoness poured wine for Ji Wuye.
"Bai Yifei, you're already so cold, and you even talk so coldly. No wonder you're hiding in a corner and not coming out.”Ji Wuye complained again.
"Sometimes, hiding in the dark is better for observation, isn't it?”Bai Yifei said calmly. The lights were dim, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
" Looks like I'm not too late…" A fisherman who was wearing a straw raincoat and a hat that covered his face and carried a fishing rod on his back walked in coincidentally.
"I get angry just by looking at you. In the past, you were so mysterious. Forget it, but this time, such an expert came to Xinzheng, and you actually didn't have any news at all!”As he spoke, Ji Wuye became angry again. He crushed his pair of jade chopsticks into powder.
"Be gentle, be gentle. These chopsticks are worth a lot of money.”The Jade Tiger, who had been counting coins at the side, picked up the remaining half of the jade chopsticks and wiped it with a scarf.
"Shut up. We can talk about your matter later. Where is the news you brought?”
" Hehehe…" The man in the straw raincoat put down his fishing basket and fishing rod, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and started eating.
"Yesterday morning, 8 people of Hidden Dragon Palace died.”Just as Ji Wuye was about to lose his temper, the man in the straw raincoat said slowly.
"Which eight?" Ji Wuye asked.
" Yan Country, the Seven Swordsmen of Yan Yun..."
"Oh? The King of Yan's personal guard? According to the legends, each of them was a top swordsman in the martial world. The seven of them joined hands and were the invincible Seven Swordsmen of Yan Yun?”Baiyifei asked.
"That's right."
"Could the other person be the King of Yan? Why did he secretly come to Han Country?”The tide lady asked the visitor as she poured wine for Bai Yifei.
"No, the last one is Situ Wanli, the head of Hidden Dragon Palace. His kung fu is average.”After eating until he was seventy percent full, the guest finally stopped and slowly told the four of them.
"What does their death have to do with last night's spectacle?”Ji Wuye asked.
"Of course there is…because the person who killed these seven people was the one who caused the miracle last night.”
"Who is it?"
"Sword Immortal, Ji Yunshuang. Rumor has it that the moves he used to defeat Chi Songzi and Xiaoyao Zi were very similar to the spectacle last night, but the one last night was even bigger and more imposing.”
"Sword immortal? Never heard of it."
"Hehe, Your Excellency lives in the Han Country and knows very little about the Jianghu. Ji Yunshuang is now a hot big shot in the Jianghu and is called the world's number one swordsman by the people in the Jianghu.”
"Hahahaha, so arrogant. Do you think it's possible to recruit him?”
"This kind of expert is usually very arrogant and difficult to recruit.”
"Hmph, can a mere martial artist compare to my army?”Ji Wuye looked disdainful.
The guest smiled and didn't object.
"Great General should be thinking about two things.”
"Which two?"
"The military pay case and…Ji Yunshuang's purpose for coming to Xinzheng.”
"Military pay case? Hahahaha, I'm waiting for Zhang Kaidi's head to fall, hahahaha.”Ji Wuye couldn't help but laugh when he thought that his biggest political obstacle was about to disappear.
"Not necessarily!" The guest in the straw raincoat poured cold water on him." It's said that the Ninth Young Master Han Fei is the favorite disciple of Xunzi, the quasi-saint of the Confucian school. Now that he has returned, although he looks like a dandy and plays every night, he is actually planning strategies.”
"Him? He's just a little kid. His father is now a puppet in my hands. What can he do?”
The man in the straw raincoat continued," The day before yesterday, I went to Purple Orchid Pavilion to ask Han Fei to solve the military pay case. We'll soon know whether Han Fei is as smart as the rumors say."”
"Hmph, you want to take away the gold that is in my hands? No way!" As he spoke, Ji Wuye drank a large glass of wine.
"Tell me, why did this Sword Immortal come to Xinzheng?”Baiyifei, who had been listening attentively, suddenly said.
"According to my investigation, where do you think Ji Yunshuang went when she came to Han Country?”
"Hurry up and say it!" Ji Wuye slammed the table.
The guest in the straw raincoat had wanted to keep them in suspense, but now he could only give up. Two words popped out of his mouth."Baiyue!"
"Is he also a remnant of the Yue?" Baiyifei asked.
"I don't know." The guest shook his head." His past is a mystery. I couldn't find out no matter how hard I tried. I almost found out about the Yin Yang School of the State of Qin. The Yin Yang School is not someone we can afford to offend."”
"If he really is a remnant of the Yue, then his goal in coming to Xinzheng is very obvious. This giant illusion might just be a secret technique of the Bai Yue. I really couldn't believe that a human could do this.”A sinister smile appeared on Baiyifei's face. A giant that was tens of meters tall? He thought that he might be able to do it with the strange secret techniques of the Bai Yue. After all, the Bai Yue had countless special abilities... Thinking of this, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Let's not talk about these things first. As for you…Jade Tiger! You've been slacking off recently!" Ji Wuye slammed the table heavily, causing the gold coins in Jade Tiger's hands to scatter all over the ground.
" Sir, no…no, I've earned a lot of money for you recently…" Jade Tiger said timidly. Among the Four Rapscallions, he was the only one who did not know martial arts, and he was the only one who was most afraid of Ji Wuye.
"Humph! He did a good job with money, but what about beauties? How long has it been since you paid tribute? Look at my big courtyard, how deserted it is!”As he spoke, Ji Wuye roared at the Jade Tiger, scaring him so much that he almost fell to the ground.
" My…my lord, it's not that I'm not careful, but the number of beauties I've plundered has been decreasing recently. I'm afraid that going too far will cause trouble, so I've been doing it secretly. Besides…beauties…" The Jade Tiger glanced at the tide lady demon, swallowed his saliva, and immediately shut up.
"Don't worry, my lord. I already have a target!”Seeing that Ji Wuye was about to get angry again, the Jade Tiger immediately said.
"I hope she's not a random woman found on the street.”
"Don't worry, my lord. This beauty is very special and will definitely satisfy my lord. But…"
"Speak!" Ji Wuye frowned slightly.
" It's just that this beauty is a remnant of the Yue. She's always going against us, and she's very capable. I've already lost many brothers, but I'm afraid of causing trouble for you, so I didn't dare to send more people to capture her. You see…"
"Humph! A remnant of the Yue…an expert? Can you stop my army? If one person doesn't work, then ten people. If one person doesn't work, then a hundred people. I'll give you half a month to bring her to me. Otherwise…you'll have to bring her head to me!”Fei Cui Yu was so frightened by the powerful aura that she fell to the ground. The tide-lady laughed at his pathetic state. Bai Yifei shook his head. Out of the Four Raging Generals of the Night, the Jade Tiger was the most useless one.
…………
That night, Han Fei came to the Purple Orchid Pavilion.
After solving the military pay case and having more in-depth communication with Zhang Liang, Han Fei was in high spirits.
" Greetings…Brother Wei Zhuang?!" Looking at Wei Zhuang, who was tied up like a dumpling, Han Fei burst out laughing.
" Hmm?..." Wei Zhuang frowned. He was a little unhappy and helpless.
"Hehe, you guys chat first." Violet Maiden smiled, turned around, and closed the door.
"Ahem, Brother Wei Zhuang, I'm Han Fei. Ahem, Brother Wei Zhuang's outfit…is really unique.”With that, Han Fei sat opposite Wei Manor, poured a glass of wine, and drank it.
"From the looks of it, the military pay case has been solved.”
Han Fei smiled, took out a box, put it on the table, and said,""This was originally a gift from Miss Violet Maiden, but I didn't expect that there would be an accident and I couldn't take it. Last night, by a strange combination of factors, I found this box in Miss Nongyu's room and instantly understood Miss Violet Maiden's intentions.”
Seeing that Wei Zhuang didn't say anything, Han Fei continued,""The Water Dissipating Gold in the box is the key clue to solving the Ghost Soldier Robbery Case, but this gift has another true owner.”
"Ghost Soldiers Robbery Case? I didn't expect you to be so good at naming things.”Wei Zhuang laughed at him, as if to take revenge for Han Fei's mockery of him just now.
"Ahem, let's not talk about this." Han Fei pointed at the box and said,""This box is made using the principle of vertical and horizontal. It belongs to the Ghost Valley Sect.”
Han Fei stood up and continued," When you are angry, the vassals will be afraid. When you live in peace, the world will be destroyed. Every time the disciples of the Phantom Valley appeared in the world, they would set off a storm.”
Wei Zhuang looked at Han Fei strangely. He had never heard of this before…
Han Fei touched his face and asked,""Brother Wei Zhuang, is there something on my face?”
"No, it's just that someone said the same thing to me last night.”Wei Zhuang shook his head slightly.
"Oh? Is that so? Uh, hahaha, is that a friend of Brother Wei Zhuang?”Han Fei gave an awkward but polite smile.
"That person…is my mortal enemy! We won't rest until one of us dies." After a while, a few words came out of Wei Zhuang's mouth.
Han Fei was speechless.
"Who is it?" Wei Zhuang swung his sword behind him, only to discover that Yun Shuang was actually hiding outside the window, drinking wine and eavesdropping.
"It's me. Sigh, Sister Violet Girl didn't let me enter Purple Orchid Pavilion for the past three days. I could only sneak up to the roof and drink.”Yun Shuang said helplessly, then added,"You guys continue, don't bother about me."”
Han Fei swallowed and bowed to Yun Shuang respectfully.""So it's Brother Sword Immortal."
"Eh, it's disgusting to hear the word 'Sword Immortal' come out of your mouth. You can just call me Xiao Shuang. What, you're not afraid of me now?”Yun Shuang rolled her eyes.
"I've seen Brother Xiao Shuang twice in a day. No matter how bad my eyesight is, it's not to this extent. Moreover, Brother Xiao Shuang's Seven Star Flexible Sword is very easy to recognize. Not many people used software, let alone such a gorgeous sword.”Han Fei smiled confidently.
"You guys can continue your conversation and pretend that I don't exist.”As she spoke, Yun Shuang took a plate of peanuts and closed the window to continue drinking.
"Um…"
Han Fei didn't come back to his senses for a moment. After a few seconds of silence, he said to Wei Zhuang,""Alright, then Brother Wei Zhuang, let's continue…"
Wei Zhuang was speechless.
