Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 101 Wei Zhuang, who wanted to kill someone, played chess with Zhang Liang.
"Brother Wei Zhuang, wait for me!"

In a few flashes, Jiang Yu caught up with Wei Zhuang, who had gone ahead:

"Watch out, there might be another ambush ahead in the dark!"

Forget about the ambush, Wei Zhuang kept his head down and continued walking, not even glancing at Jiang Yu.

But to prevent Jiang Yu from continuing to torment his ears, Wei Zhuang still replied:
Instead of talking about other things, we should think carefully about how Han Fei will react when he finds out about the military pay.

"I believe Brother Han will understand the money I earned through my own abilities."

Jiang Yu never worried about this issue because everything he did after taking the money was beneficial to Han Fei.

For example, dealing with Jade Tiger and taking in Baiyue slaves are not the only benefits for Han Fei now. As the anime's plot unfolds, more benefits for Han Fei will be revealed one by one.

For example, Jiang Yu once said that Honglian should become Han Fei's great savior.

Therefore, for Han Fei, taking this 100,000 in military pay was definitely a win-win situation.

Jiang Yu added one last sentence:
"Besides, haven't I already repaid Brother Han a portion of it? In fact, if Brother Wei Zhuang is capable enough, I could repay more than 100,000 in military pay."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang pondered for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and gritted his teeth, saying:
"You really know how to do business!"

No wonder this guy inexplicably approached Zilanxuan and cooperated with her to kill the tiger.

"Hehe, Brother Wei Zhuang, you flatter me!"

If Zilanxuan has joined Han Fei's side, then the money that I made with Zilanxuan is just part of the money I'm returning to Han Fei, isn't it?

If Wei Zhuang is truly capable, he could earn that 100,000 military pay from him, and with Fei Cuihu's assets, wouldn't that mean "he would have to pay back even more" as Jiang Yu mentioned?

Hearing Jiang Yu's sly words, Wei Zhuang gripped the hilt of the Shark Tooth Sword with unprecedented force, to the point that his knuckles turned white.

Wei Zhuang never imagined that one day there would be someone who would make him want to draw his sword even more than his senior brother.

I just regret that I can't beat Jiang Yu!

Perhaps that cunning Jiang Yu is just waiting for me to draw my sword so she can justify giving me a good beating.

Suppressing his urge to draw his sword, Wei Zhuang had no choice but to continue accelerating, but this was clearly no problem for Jiang Yu.

Fortunately, the path up the mountain wasn't long, and the two quickly returned to the cliffside wine shed.

Upon seeing the two return unharmed, Han Fei, Zi Nu, and Zhang Liang, who had been anxiously waiting, finally relaxed.

"call!"

Han Fei breathed a long sigh of relief and said apologetically:

"It is fortunate that you two have returned safely, otherwise Han Fei would have no face to face you."

Han Fei, who was severely lacking in intelligence, was clearly blaming himself, thinking that he had underestimated Ji Wuye and had not expected that the latter would be able to see through his plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

"Nothing to do with you!"

Upon hearing Han Fei's self-reproach, Wei Zhuang glanced at Jiang Yu.

No wonder Zi Nu said earlier that Han Fei was incredibly unlucky to have a brother like Jiang Yu.

Then he silently walked to the side and sat down, drinking alone, without telling Han Fei about Jiang Yu stealing the military pay.

Because of his pride and arrogance, Wei Zhuang didn't blame anyone. He only felt that his intelligence was flawed and that he hadn't known this beforehand, which led to his mistake tonight.

"It really has nothing to do with Brother Han!"

Jiang Yu patted Han Fei on the shoulder, then returned to her seat and raised her glass to Wei, thanking him for not speaking up.

Unfortunately, Wei Zhuang completely ignored it!
The fact that the two said the same thing left Han Fei completely baffled. What was going on?

"hehe!"

Zi Nu covered her lips and chuckled softly:

"Doesn't Ninth Prince understand their nature? Why don't we come back and have a drink?"

As for the future strategist Zhang Liang, he could only stand by and watch blankly, unable to utter a single word.

Although Han Fei didn't understand why, just as Zi Nu had said, he knew Jiang Yu and Wei Zhuang's personalities to some extent and knew that the two of them didn't care about what happened tonight.

"Thank you both!" Han Fei bowed to the two men one last time before returning to his seat.

After having a small drink to ease the tension...

Han Fei then began to talk about the formation of the Quicksand organization, just like in an anime.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, what is your opinion of Ji Wuye?"

"The fact that he is still alive and in power shows how incompetent and foolish your father is."

Wei Zhuang's words were sharp and showed no mercy.

Upon hearing this, Han Fei also asked bluntly:
"Then let Brother Wei Zhuang entertain him, shall we?"

"Let me serve Ji Wuye?"

Wei Zhuang did not answer, but instead gestured to Jiang Yu beside him:
Where is this guy?

Jiang Yu returned to the country with Han Fei, so their closeness was no greater than his. As for strength and intelligence, Wei Zhuang had a deep understanding of them.

No matter how you look at it, she is more suitable to marry Ji Wuye than Wei Zhuang.

"Hey, don't drag me into this! I'm just a traveler passing through!"

Jiang Yu refused on the spot, then said to the dim-witted Zhang Liang standing to the side:
"Zifang, how about we play a game of chess?"

"Zhang Liang is honored to be able to play chess with Mr. Jiang."

Zhang Liang responded modestly, because he had been accompanying Han Fei in investigating the case these past few days and had heard Han Fei mention Jiang Yu's prowess quite often.

When Han Fei asked Wei Zhuang to replace Ji Wuye, Wei Zhuang's question, "Where is that guy?" didn't sound like a joke.

Everything confirms Jiang Yu's extraordinary nature.

"But Mr. Jiang, it seems we didn't bring any chess pieces with us."

"The game is simple!"

Jiang Yu waved his hand, and the wine in the pot was drawn into the air, forming nine lines that intertwined to create a chessboard.

Before Jiang Yu appeared a board of water droplet chess pieces, while before Zhang Liang were ice chess pieces, formed from the residual cold energy on the Overturned Water Sword.

"And here it is."

"Then please enlighten me, Mr. Jiang."

Zhang Liang sat upright and attentively opposite Jiang Yu.

"I'll make the first move!"

Jiang Yu showed no mercy and immediately placed a piece.

Zi Nu, who was refilling Jiang Yu's wine, noticed where Jiang Yu had placed his piece and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Young master, are you really good at chess?"

Aside from beginners, it's really rare to see someone who goes down to the center point as their first move.

"I don't know how to play chess?"

Jiang Yu, who had been questioned by Zi Nu, immediately said the following:

"If I win, Miss Zi Nu will grant me any request, and vice versa. How about it?"

Zi Nu was well aware of Jiang Yu's cunning, and coupled with Jiang Yu's confidence, and considering she wasn't exactly a master of chess herself, she wondered what kind of brilliant move Jiang Yu was up to. Therefore, she ultimately shook her head and said:

"Forget it then!"

Zhang Liang, standing to the side, was also impressed by Jiang Yu's confidence. He looked at the water chess piece that was in the center of the board and thought for a long time before finally making his move.

When it was Jiang Yu's turn, she placed another piece without hesitation.

This appearance made Zhang Liang more cautious, and he spent much longer thinking.

While the two were playing chess and Zi Nu was watching, Han Fei and Wei Zhuang were also discussing the formation of the Quicksand organization.

Everyone's busy with their own things, and we don't bother each other!
