People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 211, Wolves and Sheep, Schemes Never End (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Outside Xinzheng City, inside the Mo family stronghold.

Madam Hu held onto Nongyu with reluctance, tears streaming down her face. Nongyu also looked at Madam Hu with a face full of reluctance.

Compared to the two emotional women, Li Kai was much calmer, but his gaze toward Nongyu was still filled with reluctance.

The family had just reunited, and before they could even exchange a few words, they had to part again. No one would feel good about that.

Xu Qing was explaining relevant matters to Boss Han.

"I'm entrusting this person to you. Make sure they get to Taiyi Mountain safely," Xu Qing instructed.

"Imperial Physician, rest assured. My Mo family may not have much else, but we have many friends. Which bandit stronghold along the way wouldn't give my Mo family face? I will definitely deliver them safely to Mount Taiyi, so you don't need to worry."

Han Laoda confidently patted his chest, saying that at their peak, they were known as 100,000 wandering knights. Although they were not as powerful as before, they still firmly held the position of the chief leader of the wandering knights in the martial arts world.

Anyone who dares to rob the Mo family's people and vehicles must be someone who doesn't want to stay in the bandit world anymore.

"Alright, then I'll leave everything to you," Xu Qing said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"We're all brothers, no need to be so polite," Boss Han returned the greeting.

Xu Qing looked at Li Kai, Madam Hu, and Nongyu standing to the side, and walked towards the three of them.

Upon seeing Xu Qing approach, Nongyu and Madam Hu released each other and, together with Li Kai, bowed deeply to Xu Qing.

"Many thanks to the Imperial Physician for reuniting my family and for going to great lengths to help us avenge our family. We will never forget your great kindness," said Li Kai and the other two.

"We're all family, no need to be so polite. I've already spoken with the Mo family brothers about the matter, so there shouldn't be any unexpected incidents along the way."

"This is a letter from Tianzong. After you arrive at Taiyi Mountain, report my name and give the letter to Elder Qing Xiaozi of Tianzong. Tianzong will then make arrangements for you."

"As for this second letter, it contains a prescription I wrote for your health. You must take it on time after you stabilize. Although it cannot completely cure your hidden injuries, it can help to nourish your body and restore your vitality."

As Xu Qing spoke, he took out two pieces of cloth and stuffed them into Li Kai's hands.

Li Kai looked at the cloth in his hand, then at Xu Qing with gratitude. He was momentarily speechless, and could only bow to Xu Qing and say...
"Thank you very much, Imperial Physician."

"No need for formalities, it's getting late, you should get going," Xu Qing said.

"it is good."

Li Kai looked at Madam Hu and Nongyu. Madam Hu looked at Nongyu with great reluctance, holding her hand tightly and not wanting to let go.

"Mother, with the Imperial Physician and Sister Zi Nu here, I'll be fine. You and Father should act quickly, or it will be bad if someone notices." Nongyu gently reassured Madam Hu.

"Nongyu." Madam Hu grasped Nongyu's hand, tears welling up before she could speak.

“With the Imperial Physician in charge, Nongyu will be fine. We can come back after Xinzheng is stable,” Li Kai also helped to persuade her.

After being persuaded by her husband and daughter, Madam Hu finally let go of Nongyu. After giving Nongyu a few more words of advice, she reluctantly followed Li Kai into the carriage.

Han Laoda and a dozen Mo family disciples mounted their horses and clasped their hands in greeting to Xu Qing, who in turn returned the gesture.

"Thank you all for your hard work!"

"The Imperial Physician is waiting for our good news!" said Boss Han.

"Set off!!"

The coachman spurred the horse away into the distance, while Madam Hu and Li Kai lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Nongyu with reluctance.

Nongyu waved goodbye to them, and as the car drove further and further away, it eventually disappeared from sight.

Xu Qing looked at Nongyu beside him, whose face was full of reluctance, and asked...

"Since you're so reluctant to leave, why not go with them?"

"My sister saved me and has protected me for so many years. Although I am not as capable as her, I will do my best to help her."

Nongyu turned to look at Xu Qing, and seeing his handsome face, Wan'er smiled and continued...

"Besides, I haven't even performed the Butterfly Lovers play that my brother-in-law taught me yet. Wouldn't it be a shame to leave now?"

Nongyu's eyes were full of smiles. Now that she had found her parents and sent them to a safe place, the obsession and sorrow that she couldn't let go of had also dissipated, and all her past worries had vanished.

Besides Zi Nu, she had another reason for not wanting to leave Xinzheng, and that was the man in front of her.

Seeing Nongyu teasing him, Xu Qing unceremoniously rubbed her wine-red hair twice.

"Oh, you dare to tease me now," Xu Qing said with a smile.

Nongyu lowered her head shyly, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her face as Xu Qing stroked her head.

Looking at Nongyu, who had finally found peace of mind, Xu Qing's eyes were full of smiles. From now on, Nongyu's zither music would no longer be so sorrowful.

Perhaps staying in Xinzheng was not the best choice for Nongyu, but her fate would no longer be as tragic as before.

His sister-in-law's fate is now in his hands.

“Let’s go. Your sister Zi Nu is still waiting for us to go back. She’s very worried about you. She’ll be very happy to see that you’re still here,” Xu Qing said.

"it is good."

Nongyu followed Xu Qing towards the carriage. Having put her worries aside, she seemed much lighter on the walk, her usual poise gone, skipping and hopping like an innocent little girl. After helping Nongyu into the carriage, Xu Qing drove it towards the agreed-upon location.

He wasn't joking when he told Nongyu that his driving skills were top-notch. After all, he was a Confucian disciple. Although he wasn't very proficient in the Six Arts of Confucianism and couldn't be like Confucius, who could drive a two-horse chariot with one hand while drifting and shooting arrows at the same time even when he was over sixty, his driving skills were truly top-notch.

You can drive with ease in any location, whether it's a woman's boudoir or the wilderness.

Meanwhile, at the General's Mansion.

Han Fei and Wei Zhuang took the initiative to visit Ji Wuye and successfully achieved their goal, which angered Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye gripped an eight-foot sword resembling a cleaver, his gaze fixed coldly on Wei Zhuang and Han Fei opposite him, his eyes flashing with surging killing intent.

"Hehe, disciple of Guigu, this general is itching to spar a bit. I hope Young Master Jiu won't mind!"

Ji Wuye sneered and said in a nonchalant tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, heavy footsteps echoed from all around. Soon, armored guards surrounded the area, and the three concubines who had been drinking with Ji Wuye cowered in fear to the side. The scene suddenly became somewhat out of control.

It seems like a chaotic battle could break out at any moment.

Wei Zhuang remained silent, his cold gaze meeting Ji Wuye's murderous eyes, the Shark Tooth sword drawn from its sheath in his hand serving as the best answer.

He never feared any opponent, even if the person in front of him was known as the strongest general in Korea in a century. In his eyes, he was nothing more than a dead soul that added a touch of murderous intent to Shark Tooth.

"If the General wishes to spar, so be it. However, my friend here needs to come with me to retrieve the military pay, so please stop here, General." Han Fei said, one hand behind his back, looking at Ji Wuye without fear.

Seeing Wei Zhuang and Han Fei showing no fear, Ji Wuye's cold smile deepened, and his eyes twitched.

The fluorescent powder on the ground was particularly dazzling to Ji Wuye. He had thought that if he sent Mo Ya to deal with Anping Jun and Longquan Jun and leave a confession, Han Fei would stop while he was ahead and end the case of the ghost soldiers robbing the soldiers' pay.

To his surprise, Han Fei, who seemed carefree and frivolous, had a ruthless heart. In order to find military funds, he even schemed against his two uncles.

Unlike Han Yu's hypocrisy and ruthlessness, Han Fei doesn't care about face at all, and his attacks are often fatal.

If Han Fei were to enter the court and gradually replace Han Yu, Ji Wuye believed that Han Fei would definitely be a more formidable opponent than Han Yu.

He had an urge to kill the two men in front of him and leave them alive. Although the disciples of Guigu were very skilled in combat, this was his territory, and he was absolutely confident that he could leave the two men alive.

But Ji Wuye's reason told him that he could not take action, simply because he was only the Grand General of Han, while Han Fei was the Ninth Prince, a member of the royal family.

No matter how unfavored they are, they are still royalty.

Han Fei could die anywhere, but he absolutely could not die in his Grand General's mansion! This was the rule of the court, and he had to abide by it.

He was a great general of South Korea, holding a high position and wielding great power, whose word could decide the life and death of countless people. However, the higher his position, the more constraints he faced.

He could kill Han Fei, but he couldn't do it openly, much less at Han Fei's residence. If he did, people would gossip and his good days would be over.

Ji Wuye looked Wei Zhuang and Han Fei up and down, but if he let Han Fei and Wei Zhuang go like this, then the 100,000 taels of military pay he had worked so hard to obtain would be gone.

Just as Ji Wuye hesitated, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"General, Zhang Liang, the young master of the Zhang family, requests an audience. He says the Prime Minister has prepared a banquet and invites the Ninth Prince to his residence for a chat!" a soldier shouted from outside the door.

Ji Wuye's face darkened, and he gripped his eight-foot-long battle sword tightly, saying in a cold voice...

"Ninth Young Master, I will remember what happened today. We will have a long future ahead of us. Be more careful in the future. The Fourth Young Master has already met with misfortune. I don't want you to be the next one."

"No need for the General to worry. I am in good health and there will be no accidents. You should get some rest."

Han Fei cupped his hands in a respectful bow and chuckled lightly.

Then he led Wei Zhuang out of the hall.

After the two left, the lights in the hall were lit again, the armored soldiers in the hall withdrew one by one, and the three beautiful concubines also left the hall, leaving only Ji Wuye sitting on the throne.

"Han Fei, who gave you the audacity to provoke this general? Was it Zhang Kaidi, or Xu Qing?"

Ji Wuye stroked the eight-foot blade, his expression gloomy, his eyes darting around.

The case of the ghost soldiers robbing the payroll was handed over to Han Fei by Zhang Kaidi, and the two discussed it at Zilan Pavilion. Xu Qing had also met with Han Fei several times, and the two even went out of the city to Broken Soul Valley.

No matter how he thought about it, Ji Wuye felt that Han Fei had made some kind of deal with Xu Qing and formed an alliance with Zhang Kaidi.

"It seems I can't keep you here," Ji Wuye said in a deep voice.

If Han Fei was merely someone he feared before, after witnessing Han Fei's abilities and ruthlessness today, Han Fei has become someone he must kill.

He didn't want to have just sent away Han Yu only to attract an even more troublesome Han Fei, who had done something even Han Yu hadn't: formed an alliance with Zhang Kaidi.

The most crucial figure is Xu Qing, who has the Mohist school behind him.

If Xu Qing also sides with Han Fei, then Han Fei will have two behemoths representing the Confucian and Mohist schools of Han behind him, and at that time, he, as the great general, will probably be easily replaced.

The more you come into contact with and understand the various schools of thought, the more you realize just how terrifying these people can be.

As for Xu Qing, given the existence of the Mo family, Ji Wuye decided to focus on winning him over. After all, Xu Qing's reputation for being greedy and lustful was no secret, and what he had in abundance was money and beauty.

Having made up his mind, Ji Wuye did not hesitate any longer. He immediately summoned the armored soldiers and ordered them to leave the city to transfer the 100,000 taels of military pay.

He dared not gamble on whether Han Fei was bluffing, as that was 100,000 taels of military pay, a considerable sum for him.
