At the crucial moment.
However, at the critical moment, no mistakes could be allowed. Otherwise, the entire plan would fail. Not only would it fail, but it might also be completely wiped out.
When Ren Piaomiao entered the general's manor, the ink crow had already sent out a signal to inform Red Owl.
The Red Owl was also the leader of the birds, and its status was only below that of the Ink Crow and Parrot Song. After Parrot Song left Han Country under Ji Wuye's orders, the Red Owl was heavily relied on by Ji Wuye, and its status was only below that of the Ink Crow.
He was in charge of monitoring every move of Zi Lanxuan.
37 people.
Red Owl had sent a total of thirty-seven people to monitor Violet Orchid Pavilion, not more nor less.
This was a very precise calculation.
Red Owl had always believed that he could not monitor too many enemies. If he did, he would be exposed and alert his opponents. If there were too few, the enemy would have an opportunity to take advantage of it and the news would leak. 37 people was the best choice.
The thirty-seven people were not only targeting Han Fei and Wei Zhuang, but also the other people in the Purple Orchid Pavilion, including the unremarkable singers and dancers.
Red Owl didn't stare at so many people. He only had eyes for two people in one room, Han Fei and Wei Zhuang.
Ji Wuye had once praised the Red Owl, saying that anyone who targeted the Red Owl was like being entangled by a poisonous snake, and no one could escape it.
Han Fei didn't return to the mansion yesterday and was still in the Purple Orchid Pavilion. Now Han Fei had woken up and was in that room. Wei Zhuang was also there and was drinking with Han Fei.
Red Owl was very sure of his judgment. He believed in his own eyes, but after the Ink Crow's message came, Red Owl confirmed his judgment again. He was sure that Han Fei and Wei Zhuang were still in Purple Orchid Pavilion, and that the accident that Ink Crow was worried about didn't happen in Purple Orchid Pavilion.
This was his mission. His existence was his mission. As long as he could complete the mission, he did not care about anything else.
In the small house in Violet Orchid Pavilion.
This small house was originally extremely secretive, and very few people knew about today. However, although no one had entered it yet, it was no longer secretive.
Han Fei and Wei Zhuang were sitting opposite each other and drinking.
Han Fei was nicknamed Wine Lord, not the ninth in the ranking, but the wine of fine wine.
He was indeed good at drinking. If Wei Zhuang drank a glass, Han Fei could drink at least two glasses.
Han Fei drank a lot today. He had been drinking since he got up, but not just drinking.
"Brother Wei Zhuang, do you know who Han Fei respects the most?”
"Shang Yang entered Qin and changed to become stronger, causing the originally small and weak Qin Country to become a big country that the six countries had to look up to. Without Shang Yang, the Qin Country would not have such an imposing temperament.”
Han Fei smiled." Lord Shang's magnanimity and resourcefulness really impressed Han Fei. His life experience is also quite impressive. However, Lord Shang is not the person Han Fei respects the most.”
"Oh, then who do you respect the most?"
Han Fei's eyes shone with a breathtaking brilliance as he said leisurely,"" Naturally, it's Lord Xinling of the Four Great Young Masters. He assisted the weak Wei and defeated the powerful Qin twice in a row. He also saved the crisis between the Zhao and Wei states. His reputation shook the world, causing the six states to not dare to attack Wei for ten years. He once again formed an alliance and used the six states to resist the powerful Qin. Unfortunately, Lord Xinling was feared by the King of Wei and eventually died of depression.”
Wei Zhuang smiled coldly. However, you admire Lord Xinling not because of this, but because you are in the same situation as Lord Xinling. The Han Country is the weakest country among the seven countries, and you also want to rely on the Han Country to resist the Qin Dynasty and retreat the six countries. However, you haven't done it yet, but Wei Wuji has done it.”
Han Fei chuckled, raised his head and sighed.""Brother Wei Zhuang, you really are the one who gave birth to me and knows me! Han Fei had nothing else to ask for in his life except for his country and his home.”
Han was both Han Fei's country and his home. Just like Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, Wei was his country and his home.
Wei Zhuang took a deep look at Han Fei. He could see the sadness in Han Fei's smile. Born in troubled times, this was what a man should bear.
Wei Zhuang glanced in the direction of the General's Residence and said,"Ren Piaomiao is already at the General's Estate."
" Yes," Han Fei said." It depends on whether he can walk out of the General's Mansion or not. Otherwise, he will never get the answer he wants."”
General Manor.
Ren Piaomiao finally didn't have to face swords and spears anymore. At least these weapons wouldn't shake in front of him from time to time, and he could sit down and drink.
Ren Piaomiao could still sit down and drink at this time, and she looked very happy.
The Blood Strike Marquis shook his wine cup and suddenly said,"I heard that as long as someone is willing to pay a high price, you will kill anyone, including your best friend. Is this true?”
This question was a little strange and even inexplicable.
Ren Piaomiao answered without hesitation,""Yes."
"If I ask you to kill your friend, will you help me kill him?" The Blood Strike Marquis smiled playfully.”
"Sure!" Ren Piaomiao stared at the Blood Strike Marquis.”
The Blood Red Marquis suddenly stood up and walked in front of Violet Maiden. He pointed at Violet Maiden and said,""Isn't Miss Violet your friend?”
"No!"
The Blood Strike Marquis laughed even more evilly, and his eyes revealed a hint of killing intent."So I asked you to kill Miss Violet Girl, and you would do it for me?”
"Yes." Ren Piaomiao didn't hesitate and stood up as well. She swept her gaze across everyone and her gaze fell on Violet Girl."It is the rule of an assassin to pay for her life. If you want me to kill her for you, of course I can, but what price are you prepared to pay?”
"What price do you want me to pay?”
"I'm afraid you can't afford it." Ren Piaomiao smiled playfully.”
"Why can't I pay the price?”
Ren Piaomiao suddenly looked at Ji Wuye and said,""Because the thing I want is with the Great General.”
The Blood Red Marquis was a smart person. If he still didn't understand, then he wasn't worthy of being called a smart person.
"The thing you want is the Heshi jade?"
"If I'm not He Shibi, why am I here?" Ren Piaomiao asked. I'm only here for this deal. As long as you hand over the He Shi Jade, I can kill anyone for you. Even if you want me to get rid of the King of Han, it's not impossible, let alone her.”
Ren Piaomiao pointed her sword at Violet Girl.
The sword was not unsheathed, but anyone could feel the killing intent on the sword.
Violet Maiden could feel it as well, but she did not move. She stood there quietly, as if she had become a jade beauty who had lost her soul.
Ren Piaomiao put away her sword and said lightly,""However, I believe that Lord Marquis and General will not make this deal with me. If you want to kill Miss Violet Girl now, you can do it at any time. Why do you need to make a deal with me? Of course, if you want to kill me, you can do it at any time. Ever since we entered the General's Estate, our lives have been in your hands.”
"Since you know, why do you still want the Heshi jade?”
Ren Piaomiao looked at the Blood Strike Marquis and revealed a playful smile. The Blood Strike Marquis could even see ridicule and disdain in this smile.
"I once said that there is a price to pay for a deal. If I want the He Shi jade, I have to promise to do something for you.”Ren Piaomiao said," But similarly, you must pay the price for killing me. Although you have killed me, you might not be able to pay the price for killing me?"”
Ji Wuye smiled darkly and stared at Ren Piaomiao with a sharp gaze.""What price do you want us to pay?”
Ren Piaomiao turned around and sat in front of Ji Wuye. He drank his wine calmly and said casually,""The key to winning a game is whether you can control the pieces on the chessboard. If all the pieces on the chessboard are under your control, then you can win the game without playing. But is the general really confident that you can control all the pieces on the chessboard? If the general really had control over all the chess pieces on the chessboard, why would he be talking to me now?”
"Yes, we really shouldn't be talking nonsense.”
Ji Wuye stood up, raised his saber, and suddenly slashed down.
This slash was not aimed at Ren Piaomiao, but at Violet Maiden beside her.
Ren Piaomiao was drinking, slowly sipping a glass of wine.
