Time flew by.
Soon, three days had passed, and the banquet that King Han was holding was also in the midst of preparation. As long as night fell, it would be held in full swing.
On the same day, Zhang Liang followed the orders of his grandfather, Zhang Kaidi, to bring Qin Mu to the palace of Han Country.
On the way, Zhang Liang looked at Qin Mu with a complicated expression and asked softly," Young Master Qin, you were the one who did the Poisonous Scorpion Sect incident?”
Actually, when he heard that Poison Scorpion Sect had been wiped out in a single night, the first person that appeared in his mind was Qin Mu.
It was precisely because of this that he respected and feared Qin Mu.
Usually, he was like a strategist who could strategize and point out the wrong path. However, when facing the enemy, he was a killer who killed without blinking.
This huge contrast made it difficult for him to get used to getting along with Qin Mu.
Towards this, Qin Mu laughed lightly and didn't deny anything. He simply answered 'yes', which instantly stunned Zhang Liang on the spot and he didn't speak for a long time.
Even though it was just a guess, when he heard Qin Mu's personal reply, his meaning and feelings were different. Waves surged in his heart, and his eyes shone brightly.
At this moment, he had already made up his mind to never become Qin Mu's enemy.
Pa…
At this moment, Qin Mu patted his shoulder and smiled." This matter, you and I, heaven and earth will know. That's enough!”
"Alright, no problem." Zhang Liang nodded his head heavily and said fiercely," The Poison Scorpion Sect's sect master deserved to be killed. Who asked them to eat the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard to dare to assassinate Young Master on the street?"”
However, the moment he said that, Qin Mu shook his head." The mastermind behind this isn't Poison Scorpion, but someone else!”
"What is it? Someone else?" When Zhang Liang heard this, his handsome face revealed a look of shock as he exclaimed," Young Master Qin, do you know who it is?”
Qin Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully." I've roughly confirmed it.”
"Who is it?" Zhang Liang asked.
"Keep it a secret for now." Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and said mysteriously.
In the past few days, through his investigations, he found out that the case of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect had been suppressed by a certain force…and this force came from the Crown Prince's line.
It seemed that his marriage with Princess Red Lotus had affected her interests.
However, if he tried to break the marriage through assassination, he would only be able to kill the other party in an 'accident'.
Therefore, this matter could not be known to anyone.
Zhang Liang saw that Qin Mu didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't continue asking.
He knew that sometimes, knowing more wasn't a good thing, especially since he dared to assassinate a talented person like Qin Mu. He must have a background that he couldn't afford to offend.
Following that, Zhang Liang and Qin Mu walked side by side towards the palace at an unhurried pace. As Zhang Liang was the grandson of the current prime minister, the road was smooth.
However, Dugu Qiubai didn't follow them; instead, he went to the farmhouse Hidden Dragon Palace.
……………………………………
Han Country's General's Residence, conference hall.
A burly man with a fierce expression and a beard sat on a majestic tiger chair.
In particular, there was a heavy and huge eight-foot-long sword placed beside him. Coupled with the pitch-black armor he wore, he looked majestic.
He was the general of Han Country, Ji Wuye. His other identity was the master of the night.
At this moment, his right hand was playing with the wine cup as he said in a low voice," Blood Strike Marquis, I heard that you were knocked unconscious at home? The sword was also taken away?"
As he spoke, he raised the wine cup and drank it in one gulp. Then, he casually picked up the wine pot and poured himself a cup.
In the hall, other than the Blood Robed Marquis, there was also a fat middle-aged man with a greasy face. He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and many expensive accessories. Under the weak sunlight, he looked dazzling and dazzling.
He was one of the Four Vicious Generals of the Night, the Jade Tiger.
At this moment, he rubbed the thumb ring on his index finger with his right thumb as he revealed his yellowish teeth with a grim smile," Blood-robed Marquis... according to my scout, your sword will be auctioned in the Hidden Dragon Palace... do you need me to sponsor you?" To redeem your sword?"
His words sounded like he was concerned about the Blood Strike Marquis, but the essence of it was all kinds of mockery.
Little did he know that at this moment, he had already buried the root of the disaster of being killed by the Blood Strike Marquis.
"Humph!"
" Hmph!" The Blood Strike Marquis snorted coldly, and the wine bottle in his hand instantly turned into an ice sculpture. With a gentle squeeze, it shattered into ice shards." Tiger, I don't need you to interfere in my matters."”
The voice was so cold that it was bone-chilling. The Jade Tiger smiled awkwardly and did not say anything else.
Then, the blood-red-clothed official looked up at Ji Wuye and asked slowly," General, did the guest send any news?"”
In the past few days of investigation, he had found nothing, especially when he searched and investigated every part of the Blood-clothed Fort. He did not find any clues.
In the end, he had no choice but to trouble the guest.
The straw raincoat guest was also one of the Four Vicious Generals of the Night. However, the things that each general controlled were different. The straw raincoat guest was the head of the intelligence network of the Night. He monitored the entire court and controlled Han country from a spy.
The Blood Strike Marquis controlled 100,000 soldiers and controlled the Han Country from the army. The Jade Tiger was extremely wealthy, and he could use his wealth to control Han Country.
And the only female, the Tide Girl Demon, became the King of Han's favorite concubine and controlled the Han Country from the political point of view.
Although they seemed to listen to Ji Wuye, they actually had their own ideas.
Hence, he asked.
Ji Wuye took a sip of wine and gave the Jade Tiger a look." Tiger, you tell me."”
"Yes, General." Jade Tiger nodded in agreement. Then, he slowly explained," The straw raincoat guest sent word that the biggest suspect is Qin Mu, who has been causing a ruckus recently... We don't know about Qin Mu's life or his strength. He was a disciple of a reclusive ghost and was the first to enter the Prime Minister's Estate. Then, at Purple Orchid Pavilion, his guards instantly killed a Connate Realm expert, the Black and White Double Demons... We don't know the exact strength of his guards, but we can confirm that they were above the Spiritual Martial Realm... The spies that the straw raincoat guest sent were all killed, their throats slit with a sword.”
"Oh?" " That's interesting." The Blood Red Marquis replied indifferently and chuckled." A disciple of a ghost? Isn't this the mysterious expert who helped me kill the Bai Yue? Also…his strength was unknown? Then can't we just test it?"
His voice was calm, but it revealed a thick killing intent.
The next moment, he waved his robe and turned to walk out.
Not long after he left, Ji Wuye raised his wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He shouted," Tiger!"”
"General, please speak." The Jade Tiger nodded.
"The blood-red-clothed official must have gone to Hidden Dragon Palace. You should go there too…At the critical moment, you should help him.”Ji Wuye said.
"Alright, leave this matter to me." The Jade Tiger patted his chest and laughed sinisterly." General, I lack everything except money."”
After saying that, he looked at Ji Wuye suspiciously." General, aren't you going?”
"No, I have to attend tonight's banquet and meet the mysterious Qin Mu.”Ji Wuye narrowed his eyes and smiled sinisterly." How can he touch the woman I like?”
As he said this, hearty laughter came from the General's Estate.
