Xin Zheng City was the capital city of Han Country. Han Country was located in the central plains and had a unique geographical advantage. As a result, its economy was very prosperous. Within the seven countries, there were merchants, travelers, and peddlers. They all stopped in Xin Zheng City and then went to the other six countries, or even the frontier.
The cold night covered the land with a layer of darkness. The center of Xin Zheng City was still very lively. The lights were bright and the streets were filled with people. The scene of prosperity covered the turmoil and war in the chaotic world.
Purple Orchid Pavilion was located in the center of Xinzheng City.
In the night, the exquisite four-story building of the Purple Orchid Pavilion seemed to have risen from the ground. The lights were dim and bright. Under the flickering candlelight, one could see the shadows of people. The graceful figures were faintly discernible, and the voices of the birds were endless.
At this moment, in the most luxurious and elegant private room of the Purple Orchid Pavilion, there was a handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament reclining on the seat. He was dressed in a blue brocade robe and wore a blue crown. His every move exuded a noble aura. His eyes were like the moon and stars, dazzling, deep and vast, as if they could see through people's hearts and make people lose themselves in them.
"It really is good wine." At this moment, he picked up the expensive and exquisitely-shaped gold-rimmed red agate wine cup. He raised his hand slightly and downed the wine in the cup. His handsome face revealed an intoxicated expression. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in intoxication," Orchid wine and this gold-rimmed red agate cup really complement each other. It's memorable."”
Just as he was about to pour himself another glass of wine, someone knocked on the door. At the same time, a crisp but not seductive voice, like the first cry of an oriole, sounded.
"Young Master, the Prime Minister and Mister Zhang Liang request an audience!”
"We've been waiting for you for a long time. Please!"
Following that, three figures stepped in and entered the private room. They were the head of the Han Country's civil officials, the Prime Minister, Zhang Kaidi, and Zhang Liang, the grandson of Zhang Kaidi, the most talented and elegant young man among the younger generation in Xinzheng City.
There was also a figure that was particularly eye-catching. She had a seductive face, her eyes were like peach blossoms, and her figure was graceful. She wore a purple dress with exquisite patterns, and her purple hair fell down, making her extremely charming. Her every move was charming.
After that, the few people in the private room carried out a secret investigation. No one knew what they were discussing.
All of this was reported back to Snow Garment Castle by the secret agents that Baiyi had arranged outside the Violet Orchid Pavilion.
…………
Somewhere in the Snow Garment Castle, Baiyifei stood with his hands behind his back. His expression was as calm as an ancient well. His blood-red eyes were fixed on the snow in the sky, as if he was observing the trajectory of the snowflakes.
This was his favorite thing to do when he had nothing to do these days. Only by exploring could he clearly understand. After a few days of cultivation and comprehension, his ice power had also greatly improved.
" Lord Marquis, the scouts outside the Purple Orchid Pavilion have sent news that the Prime Minister, Zhang Kedi, and his grandson, Zhang Liang, entered the Purple Orchid Pavilion last night and seemed to have gone to pay a visit to the Ninth Young Master, Han Fei.”Bai Wenqiu came to the side of the pavilion and reported respectfully with cupped fists.
Bai Yifei nodded slightly, a devilish smile on his face. It seemed that Ji Wuye's recommendation to Zhang Kedi to investigate the case of the army's salary being robbed by the ghost soldiers had made the old man feel a sense of crisis, so he agreed to Zhang Liang's proposal and asked the Ninth Young Master Han Fei to solve the case.
"This is getting more and more interesting." " Wen Qiu," Bai Yifei said." Send someone to keep an eye on the General's Residence. Report back immediately if there's any news."”
"Yes."
"Also, go to New Zheng City and bring the Hall Master of the Seven Wonders Hall over. Keep this a secret and don't alarm others.”
"Yes, sir." Bai Wenqiu nodded and left.
Bai Wenqiu's figure slowly disappeared from his sight through the hazy snowflakes. Bai Wenqiu had been cultivating with him since he was young and was already at the late stage of the Postliminary Realm. It would not be difficult for him to bring Tang Qi, the Hall Master of the Seven Absolutes Hall, back.
As for why he asked for this matter to be kept a secret, he naturally wanted to take the Seven Wonders Hall for his own use as a trump card in case he needed it in the future.
"Ji Wuye, if you can't even keep the 60,000 taels of gold, then don't blame me for taking action.”At the thought of this, a devilish smile appeared on Bai Yifei's face. He would not turn against Ji Wuye in such a situation. However, if Wei Zhuang had taken the military pay, he would not be stealing it from Ji Wuye.
…………
In the hall, Bai Yifei sat on the majestic bronze throne. His body was shrouded in white mist, and a faint golden light flickered around him. He exuded the aura of a domineering emperor, looking down on the world.
"Lord Marquis, Tang Qi of the Seven Wonders Hall is here.”Bai Wenqiu's voice came from outside the palace.
"Bring him in." As soon as he finished speaking, Baiyifei slowly opened his blood-red eyes. In an instant, his entire aura changed drastically. He was extremely evil and bewitching.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
In the main hall below, two figures walked over. Other than Bai Wenqiu, the other person was an old man who was about to age. He had a head full of white hair and was dressed in coarse linen clothes. Although his face was wrinkled, his eyes were extremely spirited. There was a faint aura flowing around his body.
"You are the Hall Master of the Seven Wonders Hall, Tang Qi?”Bai Yifei's eyes were like lightning. His blood-red eyes stared straight at Tang Qi as if he could see through him. Bai Yifei was surprised that this man had reached the intermediate stage of the Hou Tian Realm. No wonder he could rule the Seven Wonders Clan and become one of the two kings under the Xinzheng City.
Even though Tang Qi had been through a lot before, he could not help but tremble when Bai Yifei stared at him. His blood-red eyes made him feel a great pressure. He did not dare to look at Bai Yifei in the eye. He replied respectfully," Lord Marquis, I am Tang Qi."”
"I heard that your Seven Wonders Clan and the Poisonous Scorpion Sect are fighting for the underground rule of New Zheng City, greatly disrupting the order in the city. Bloody incidents often occur, causing the citizens to be on tenterhooks?”Baiyifei said calmly.
"Lord Marquis, the people of our Seven Wonders Hall and the Poisonous Scorpion Sect are all living a life of blood on the edge of a knife. We are all trying to make a living, so fighting is inevitable.”Tang Qi bowed slightly and reported. He did not dare to get up. He was secretly shocked. Although the Blood Red Marquis was just sitting there, he gave him an indescribable pressure. That pressure was like a vast abyss that had no end. It was far beyond the pressure that Ji Wuye had given him.
