When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

"Let's go, it's time to go see a show." Han Fei was in a good mood at the moment. He knew that Ji Wuye could no longer sit still, and the opportunity he had been waiting for had appeared.

"Boss Zinu is already waiting for the Ninth Master." Zhang Liang said, looking at Han Fei with admiration in his eyes. During this time they had been together, he had been deeply impressed by Han Fei's intelligence and talent.

"Then we can't keep her waiting for too long." Han Fei smiled and walked towards the outside of Xinzheng City.

In the general's mansion, Ji Wuye recalled what Han Fei said, feeling confused and uncertain. He was not sure whether what Han Fei said was true or false, but he did not dare to take the gamble, so he hesitated.

"Someone come here." After a long time, Ji Wuye decided not to take the risk.

……

Xincheng has become a cliff. Due to its extremely high location, there is no obstacle at the back. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the whole Xinzheng. This is originally a secret place, unknown to ordinary people, but tonight, there are screens, tables, banquets, beauties, fine wines, jade cups, and incense.

"It's about time for Ji Wuye to take action." Han Fei, whose glass was being poured by Zi Nu, shook it with a playful look on his face.

"The people have come out." Wei Zhuang, who was standing on the cliff, holding a wine glass, saw that the door of the general's mansion was opened, and a team of cavalry rushed out and disappeared into the night.

"So I'll have to trouble Brother Wei Zhuang with the next thing." Han Fei raised his glass to Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang did not answer, but drank the wine in the glass, then threw the glass away and walked down the mountain.

"I know he's cool, but you can't smash someone's favorite wine glass!" Han Fei laughed, saying something he thought was very humorous.

Zhang Liang glanced sideways, but Zi Nu was in a daze, as if thinking about other things, and did not give Han Fei the response he wanted.

Wei Zhuang went down the mountain and followed the traces left by the elite cavalry of the General's Mansion, heading towards a house, where Ji Wuye hid the 100,000 gold military pay.

Wei Zhuang has always been simple and rough in his actions. He had no intention of sneaking around at all. He just broke into the room directly and all the elite soldiers from the General's Mansion that stood in front of him were killed by his shark-tooth sword.

If these poor elite soldiers were to form an army formation, they might be able to fight against Wei Zhuang, but in the courtyard, the terrain did not allow them to form an army formation, so the only outcome they faced was to be slaughtered.

After Wei Zhuang knocked out the last and only lucky person, he pushed open a door and saw 100,000 taels of gold behind it.

Wei Zhuang walked into the room with a faint smile on his face. Ji Wuye lost this time.

Wei Zhuang opened a box and found the shiny gold inside. The military pay that had stirred up the entire Korea was finally found.

Wei Zhuang picked up a gold coin and squeezed it with his fingers. It felt like gold and couldn't be fake.

But... the smile on Wei Zhuang's face quickly froze.

Something is wrong! Wei Zhuang's eyes swept over the wooden boxes in the room. The gold was indeed gold, but the weight was wrong.

Wei Zhuang, who vaguely sensed something was wrong, lifted the box and estimated the amount of gold inside.

"Half of the gold is missing, only 50,000 taels are left?" Wei Zhuang put down the box. The feeling of weight in his hands had not completely disappeared. He could feel that there were only 50,000 taels of gold.

"Could it be that Ji Wuye hid the 100,000 taels of gold in two places?" Wei Zhuang's face darkened. If this was true, Han Fei would not have a second chance to find the other 50,000 taels of gold.

Wei Zhuang, who was filled with doubt and uncertainty, did not care about anything else at this moment and could only take the 50,000 taels of gold first.

In Zi Lan Xuan, Han Fei listened to music comfortably. He was waiting for Wei Zhuang to bring back good news. He believed that with Wei Zhuang's martial arts, he would be able to bring back good news soon.

Sure enough, just when Han Fei was slightly tipsy, Wei Zhuang jumped in from the window.

"Have you found the military pay?" Han Fei put down his wine glass.

"Found it." Wei Zhuang nodded, but there was no joy on his face.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, although I admit that you look cool with a stern face, we have recovered the military pay of 100,000 taels of gold. This is such a happy thing. Can't you just smile?" Han Fei teased Wei Zhuang.

“I don’t think you will laugh when I say this.” Wei Zhuang said coldly.

"What happened?" Zi Nu was surprised when she heard this. If Wei Zhuang took action, wouldn't it be easy to capture him? Could it be that something unexpected happened?

"The gold was found, but there is only 50,000 taels." Wei Zhuang said.

"What?" The smile on Han Fei's face froze, and the wine glass in his hand fell, hitting the table with a crisp thud, and then rolled away, just like his mood at the moment.

"The gold has been found, except for 50,000 taels. The other 50,000 taels are not there." Wei Zhuang took a deep breath. At this moment, he felt very depressed. He really didn't like this feeling.

"There are only 50,000 taels. What about the other 50,000 taels? Could it be that Ji Wuye hid the 100,000 taels of military pay separately? Did he have to?" Han Fei managed to calm down and quickly analyzed the information provided by Wei Zhuang.

"Is it necessary for Ji Wuye to do that?" Zi Nu raised her doubts. Although she also thought it was incredible, Ji Wuye really didn't need to hide the 100,000 taels of military pay separately. Moreover, if Ji Wuye really did that, shouldn't he have sent out two groups of troops? In fact, he only sent out one group of elite cavalry. No matter how you explain it, it doesn't make sense.

“Then we should ask Ji Wuye.” Wei Zhuang said. It turned out that this Guiguzi disciple had quite a sense of dry humor.

"It would be great if he could tell me." Han Fei said with a wry smile. He knew that he was in big trouble. He could trick Ji Wuye once, but not a second time. The remaining 50,000 taels of gold would probably never be recovered.

"What are you going to do now?" Zi Nu asked Han Fei. She saw a helpless look on the resourceful Ninth Young Master. This was the first time she saw that he was not omnipotent.

"Let's go report to father first. It would be good if we can find half of it." Han Fei gathered his thoughts. This was the only way for now. Finding 50,000 gold is better than finding nothing at all.

Han Fei left. Watching Han Fei disappear into the darkness, Zi Nu said to Wei Zhuang, "Do you think Ji Wuye really hid the 50,000 taels of gold somewhere else?"

"I don't know." Wei Zhuang said. He had a hunch that there was another culprit behind the 50,000 taels of gold, but he could not find direct evidence. The only way to explain it was to put the blame on Ji Wuye. But it was just an explanation and it was not necessarily the truth.

The next day.

The only general's personal soldier who was knocked unconscious by Wei Zhuang knelt in front of Ji Wuye.

"What did you say? That batch of stuff was robbed?" Ji Wuye slammed the table with his palm, veins throbbing on his forehead. He realized that he was deceived by Han Fei last night. His action of sending his personal soldiers to the house to transfer the gold exposed the location of the gold. Before that, Han Fei didn't even know that place.

He was fooled.

"Yes, General, that man is too strong, we can't stop him." The personal soldier said tremblingly.

"You can go down." Ji Wuye waved his hand. Now he was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath. Han Wangan already knew that it was he who robbed the military pay, so what would Han Wangan do?

Ji Wuye was already planning to raise an army at this time.

At this time, the order from the palace had arrived.

Looking at Zhang Liang in front of him, Ji Wuye was still hesitating, wondering whether to kill Zhang Liang directly and then take the prince hostage and attack the palace.

"General, aren't you going to accept my order yet?" Zhang Liang looked at Ji Wuye without a trace of fear.

"Your servant Ji Wuye accepts the order." Ji Wuye knelt on one knee. He realized that if King Han An really wanted to turn against him, it would not be Zhang Liang who came at this time.

Chapter 116 Han Fei: Oops, I'm the mastermind

Soon, Ji Wuye let down his guard, because Han Wangan's order was not to call for punishment, but to reward him.

General Ji Wuye was rewarded with 500 gold coins for his contribution in the case of the ghost soldiers robbing the payroll.

Ji Wuye was relieved to get such a result, but after sending Zhang Liang away, Ji Wuye's face became gloomy. Five hundred gold, is that what he needs? He wants one hundred thousand gold. This five hundred gold looks like a reward, but in Ji Wuye's eyes, it is more like Han Fei's mockery of him.

Taunting? Thinking of the word taunting, Ji Wuye couldn't help but think of the game of three concubines dividing gold that Han Fei played last night. In that game, the second person got a gold coin, which was 1% of the 100 gold coins. So why did he only get 500 gold coins, 200% of the 100,000 gold coins?

Could it be... Ji Wuye couldn't help but think of a possibility.

"You are so good, Han Fei. I underestimated you. It turns out that you are also a very bold person." Ji Wuye thought about it, and his brows gradually relaxed. He thought of a possibility. Han Wangan only received 50,000 gold. As for where the other 50,000 gold went, Ji Wuye was sure that it was not with him, so it could only be in Han Fei's hands.

Thinking of this possibility, Ji Wuye felt ashamed and angry, but also began to look at Han Fei with a new respect.

"Moreover, do I have to take the blame for this?" Ji Wuye laughed angrily, his murderous intent towards Han Fei deepened.

In front of the King of Han's palace, Han Fei walked out of the palace with a heavy heart. The case of the ghost soldiers robbing pay was successfully solved, and Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi also fulfilled his promise and recommended him to be the Sikou of Han. But Han Fei was not happy at all, because he only found 50,000 gold, and the other 50,000 gold was still in Ji Wuye's hands. This was an unbearable thing for Han Fei who pursued perfection.

“Is Ji Wuye so difficult to deal with?” Han Fei sighed, feeling that the future was difficult. Ji Wuye was more powerful than he had imagined.

Just as Han Fei entered Sima Gate, a familiar voice came from the palace building above his head.

"Honglian?" As Han Fei was walking away, he saw his sister Honglian talking to a young man in armor.

This scene made Han Fei's already depressed mood even worse. His once lovely sister had finally grown up and now knew how to find a man.

Han Fei covered his chest and turned around, walking towards the stairs leading to the palace building. He wanted to see what was so attractive about Yang Chong that was worthy of his sister's attention.

"This is my father's order. Are you going to disobey it?" Honglian didn't see Han Fei coming at this time. She was pestering Yang Chong to teach her martial arts.

Ever since Yang Chong forcefully kissed her on the way to meet Han Fei that day, Honglian hadn't taken the initiative to look for Yang Chong for a long time. During this time, she had been hiding in her bedroom all day, confused and puzzled about what had happened that day.

The real memories and the false memories derived by Yang Chong's soul-stealing technique were intertwined in her mind, making Honglian unable to distinguish the truth from the false. Among the truth and the false, Honglian could only come to one conclusion: I liked her, so I was thinking about finding fault with him all day long, and he also liked me, so he kissed me forcefully on the street. I was very angry at that time, but I didn't hate her.

Once this idea appeared in Honglian's mind, it never disappeared. However, she didn't know that only half of this idea was true, and the other half was false. What happened was true, but the motive behind it was false. The process was right, but the starting point was wrong.

Driven by this idea, Honglian could only hide from Yang Chong. After all, Honglian, who was still just a girl, did not dare to look for Yang Chong. However, after this period of time, Honglian's princess attribute overcame her girl attribute. A girl would actively avoid her beloved because of shyness when facing the person she likes, but a princess would only think about grabbing the thing she likes.

So, after a period of psychological preparation, Honglian decided to take the initiative, which led to the scene that Han Fei saw.

"How dare I disobey the king's order." Yang Chong looked at Honglian, who seemed to be dressed up carefully, and felt helpless. Even if he was flirting with her, Honglian was not a good target. Aren't Yan Lingji and Zi Nu more attractive? Even Nong Yu was more likable than Honglian.

"Then come with me." Seeing Yang Chong surrender, Honglian sniffed triumphantly and said, "I am Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can I not conquer you?"

"Cough." Han Fei came to Honglian and found that Honglian had not noticed him until now. He felt even more uncomfortable. He would not be able to see his brother anymore if he had a lover. Thinking of this, Han Fei could only cough deliberately to remind Honglian of his arrival.

"Brother, why are you here?" Han Fei's voice made Honglian tremble, and two blushes appeared on her face when she turned around. She could use the power of a princess to be strong in front of Yang Chong, but being discovered by her brother that she was entangled with a man would only make her shy, even embarrassed.

"Why am I here?" Han Fei felt that Hong Lian's words were like a sharp sword, piercing directly into his heart.

Han Fei forced a smile and said, "I just finished my mission to my father, and I'm thinking about going home to sleep. Honglian, are you going to..."

Han Fei's sight had already fallen on Yang Chong. Even though he felt jealous, he had to admit that in terms of appearance alone, Yang Chong was not inferior to him at all. That special temperament, although not noble, gave people a very comfortable feeling. However, there seemed to be a kind of darkness hidden deep in that temperament, as if it was an illusion, but it really existed and was not false.

"Yang Chong greets the Ninth Young Master." Yang Chong took the initiative to step forward and said.

"No need to be so polite. Honglian has been willful since childhood. Commander Yang needs to be more tolerant of her." Han Fei smiled warmly. Although he felt a little jealous, he also knew what he should do as an elder brother.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Honglian became unhappy when she saw her brother exposing her shortcomings.

"Being willful has its own cuteness." Yang Chong replied. Although he was very impatient with Honglian's willfulness, he had to give Honglian some face in front of her brother.

"Ha, great minds think alike. I think so too." Han Fei smiled. Yang Chong's praise of Honglian made him happier than directly praising himself.

Honglian's face was completely red as she listened to the conversation between Han Fei and Yang Chong, but she was also happy in her heart. There was a little more tenderness in her eyes when she looked at Yang Chong: You have good vision.

"Honglian, I just heard that you want to learn martial arts?" Han Fei mentioned his curiosity just now.

"Yes." Honglian nodded with an innocent look on her face.

"Then you study hard. I'll go back first." Han Fei patted Honglian's forehead. He had more important things to do today. It would not be too late for him to find out the matter between Honglian and Yang Chong later.

Looking at Han Fei's departing back, Honglian finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her clever brother would get to the bottom of the matter, otherwise she would not be able to hide anything. But at the moment, she didn't want others to know her feelings, not even Han Fei. The girl had grown up and had her own secrets.

"Hey, I want you to teach me your most powerful martial arts." After watching Han Fei leave, Honglian turned her attention to Yang Chong again.

"No, family martial arts cannot be passed on to outsiders." Yang Chong said.

"I want it. I'm a princess. Do you want to disobey me?" Honglian said, taking advantage of the princess's attitude.

"What if I want to lie to you?" Yang Chong asked back.

"Well, well..." Honglian hesitated for a while, and finally said shyly: "Then just don't let me find out."

……

The place Han Fei was supposed to rest was Zi Lan Xuan, but even though he was in Zi Lan Xuan today, he had no intention of resting.

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I still think that it's impossible for Ji Wuye to hide the 100,000 gold in two places." Han Fei said to Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu in the room belonging to Wei Zhuang.

"So where did the other 50,000 gold go?" Wei Zhuang asked Han Fei.

"I was thinking that too." Han Fei spread his hands, looking helpless.

"Maybe Ji Wuye is also thinking about this question." Zi Nu added.

Originally, the three of them should have conspired in Zi Nu's room, but after Nong Yu's reminder last night, I don't know what Zi Nu was thinking, but she changed the place of conspiracy to Wei Zhuang's room. Perhaps she has also realized that her boudoir should not be opened to a man.

"Ji Wuye?" Han Fei was startled, a bad feeling arose in his heart.

"Tell me, if the 50,000 gold was not in Ji Wuye's hands, what would he think when faced with the fact that you only found 50,000 gold?" Zi Nu asked.

Han Fei couldn't help but gasp when he heard this: "If the other half of the 50,000 gold is not in Ji Wuye's hands, he will wonder where the other 50,000 gold went, and the first thing he will suspect is..."

"It's you." Wei Zhuang added.

"It really is me." Han Fei's face turned bitter. If he were Ji Wuye, he would have thought the same.

"It can only be you. Apart from Ji Wuye, we are the only ones who have come into contact with the 100,000 gold." Wei Zhuang's face was calm, but there was already murderous intent in his eyes.

"Ha, why am I so unlucky? I'm sitting at home and something unexpected happens. I suddenly become the mastermind behind this." Han Fei pointed at his nose, not knowing whether to cry or laugh for a moment.

"The most crucial issue now is whether there really is a mastermind behind this incident. Was the 50,000 gold hidden in another place by Ji Wuye, or was it taken away by the possible mastermind?" Zi Nu analyzed.

"Now I hope that the 50,000 gold was hidden somewhere else by Ji Wuye. If there really is a mastermind behind this matter who has plotted against both us and Ji Wuye, it would be too terrifying." Han Fei said with a wry smile.

"Beyond the night, are there more nightmares?" Wei Zhuang pondered, knowing that what Han Fei said was true.

Chapter 117 Honglian: Ah! It hurts!

"The water in Xinzheng is a bit deep and hard to grasp. Is it too late for me to withdraw now?" Han Fei smiled bitterly. Ji Wuye alone was enough to give him a headache. If there was another mastermind behind the scenes, and he had included both him and Ji Wuye in his plan, then the trouble would be even greater.

"In Ji Wuye's eyes, you are the mastermind behind the embezzlement of 50,000 taels of gold. Do you think he will let you go in the future?" Wei Zhuang sneered. Han Fei wants to quit now? It's too late!
