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

Chapter 212, Bai Yifei is back.

Outside the General's Mansion, Zhang Liang stood by the carriage waiting for Han Fei and Wei Zhuang. Seeing that the two had come out unharmed, he went forward to greet them.

"Brother Han, judging from your and Brother Wei Zhuang's appearances, everything must be going well tonight."

Zhang Liang looked up at Han Fei with her handsome face, like a little fangirl, and asked with bright eyes and a smile.

"Zifang, perhaps we should let Prime Minister Zhang see Ji Wuye's expression tonight. That way, his resentment towards Ji Wuye will definitely dissipate a lot."

"Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise Brother Wei Zhuang and I would not have been able to leave the General's Mansion so calmly."

Han Fei chuckled and vividly described Ji Wuye's expression to Zhang Liang.

“Miss Zi Nu has already prepared a banquet outside the city. The matter of the Imperial Physician should be settled by now. Let’s hurry over to the banquet,” Zhang Liang said with a smile.

Wei Zhuang and Han Fei nodded. They had already alerted the snake; now all they needed to do was wait for it to emerge.

After the three of them boarded the carriage, they headed out of the city.

Not long after the three left, a troop of cavalry departed from General Ji Wuye's mansion and headed towards the outskirts of Xinzheng City from another direction.

On a mountain peak not far from Xinzheng, a simple tent was set up, several bright lights dispelled the darkness, and on the table under the tent were exquisite dishes and several jugs of fine wine.

Xu Qing sat under the tent, looking down at Xinzheng not far away, and said...

"Han Fei's choice of location is indeed excellent. Although it is not high, it is enough to overlook the entire Xinzheng. If Ji Wuye makes any move, we will know immediately."

Zi Nu and Nong Yu sat on either side of Xu Qing. Nong Yu sat upright to the side, silently looking down at Xinzheng, but her eyes kept glancing at Xu Qing and Zi Nu out of the corner of her eye.

Xu Qing held the soft and gentle Zi Nu in his arms, the two of them leaning against each other like glue.

"You've figured out Han Fei's plan?"

Zi Nu continued mixing drinks for Xu Qing without looking up, her face full of smiles.

Zi Nu was clearly very happy that Nong Yu did not leave with Madam Hu and Li Kai, after all, she had raised Nong Yu as her own daughter, and her feelings for her were genuine.

"It's nothing more than stirring up trouble and luring the enemy out of their hole. If he really knew where the military funds were, why would he risk going to Ji Wuye?" Xu Qing said calmly.

"The Imperial Physician is indeed remarkable; he saw through the Ninth Prince's scheme at a glance."

Nongyu looked at Xu Qing with sparkling eyes, her starry eyes filled with admiration.

Zi Nu glanced at Nong Yu, paused in her mixing of drinks, and looked on with a helpless expression.

In just a few days, Nongyu had been charmed into a little fangirl by Xu Qing. She had underestimated Xu Qing's smooth talk.

“Nongyu, some people may seem upright and honest on the surface, spouting grand principles, but they may not actually be good people,” Zi Nu reminded Nongyu as she carried her on her back.

Xu Qing naturally knew that Zi Nu was referring to him, but his skin was so thick that even a crossbow bolt couldn't penetrate it. So, he pretended to be an elder and lectured Nong Yu.

"To Nongyu, you must listen to your sister Zinu. You must be careful when judging people, or you will be deceived."

"Who I'm talking about, everyone knows who I am."

Zi Nu held out her wine glass to Xu Qing, her charming and pretty face devoid of any smile, and spoke in an unfriendly tone.

Xu Qing, who was called out, could only smile awkwardly, take the glass and drink the wine, and almost spat it out because of the spiciness.

"What kind of wine is this? Why is it so spicy?!" Xu Qing said, sticking out his tongue, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing that her little scheme had succeeded, Zi Nu chuckled, her soft body bending over with laughter, her ample breasts heaving.

"I added pepper that I bought from the Hu people, a rare delicacy that's not available in the Central Plains," Zi Nu said with a smile.

Xu Qing knew this was Zi Nu's prank, so she cooperated perfectly, giving Zi Nu a resentful look and sticking out her tongue as she spoke.
"Can that be used to mix drinks? If you want to murder your husband, just say so."

"You're always so cheeky!"

Zi Nu took out her handkerchief from her chest and gently wiped the wine from the corner of Xu Qing's mouth. After she finished, she gently rubbed Xu Qing's head, like an older sister coaxing a younger brother.

Sniffing the fragrance of the handkerchief, Xu Qing took a deep breath. Who said being a junior in the Wa family was bad?

At the very least, whatever I do, others won't find it surprising or astonishing; they'll just take it for granted.

Looking at Xu Qing and Zi Nu, Nong Yu couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly, her beautiful eyes curving slightly downwards, like the moon hanging in the night sky.

The three sat under the tent, joking and laughing softly, seemingly far removed from the hustle and bustle of Zilan Pavilion, accompanied only by the sound of the wind around them.

There was no deceit or strife, no fighting or infighting. Under the warm glow of the lights, only close friends and family chatted and laughed, and everything seemed so beautiful and cozy.

"Oh my, every time I see Brother Xu, he always looks so relaxed and carefree. I really envy him."

Han Fei's voice rang out, and Xu Qing, Zi Nu, and Nong Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw the three who had arrived late.

"It seems we've come at the wrong time."

After Han Fei sat down, he looked at Xu Qing and Zi Nu, who were deeply in love, and said with a light laugh.

“If you really feel it’s not the right time, you should just leave instead of sitting down,” Xu Qing said with a smile. “How can that be? I came here to invite Brother Xu to watch the show. Now that the show is almost halfway through, I’ll naturally accompany you and provide explanations for the rest,” Han Fei said.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zi Nu and Nong Yu poured wine for them.

"Greetings, Imperial Physician, Miss Zi Nu, and Miss Nong Yu."

Unlike Han Fei, Zhang Liang didn't sit down directly. He bowed to Xu Qing, Zi Nu, and Nong Yu before sitting down next to Han Fei.

"It's really lively tonight. Miss Nongyu is here too. A good show should be enjoyed by everyone." Han Fei continued to liven up the atmosphere.

"It seems everything went smoothly on your end, but after tonight, you'll be on Ji Wuye's kill list," Xu Qing said.

Upon hearing this, Han Fei simply shrugged helplessly and said...
"I'll have to face him sooner or later anyway, so why worry about when? Besides, with Brother Wei Zhuang around, my safety isn't a problem."

"I only said I'd go with you to test your swordsmanship, I didn't say I'd protect you," Wei Zhuang said coldly.

"No way? Brother Wei Zhuang, we've just become best friends who've been through thick and thin together. How can you bear to see me killed by Ji Wuye?" Han Fei asked Wei Zhuang in astonishment.

"Your life or death is none of my business."

Wei Zhuang maintained his aloof demeanor, like a cold-blooded swordsman who didn't care about the lives or deaths of others.

Seeing this, Xu Qing couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Such a tsundere."

When Han Fei dies, Wei Zhuang will be mader than anyone else. For more than a decade, he has been investigating the truth behind Han Fei's death, wanting to avenge him.

Looking at the energetic young people in front of him, Xu Qing felt a little dazed. In the vortex of power, knowing that it was impossible, he still did it, which ultimately led to his tragic fate, making people sigh.

While the group was joking around, Zhang Liang suddenly noticed the cavalry leaving the city.

"Look! The snake has come out of its hole," Zhang Liang said, pointing to the cavalry column moving along the road in the distance.

As Zhang Liang finished speaking, everyone looked in the direction of Xinzheng.

At this moment, in the dead of night, several carriages were being secretly escorted out of the city by a group of guards.

"It seems I'll have to trouble Brother Wei Zhuang to make the trip again."

Han Fei watched this scene, his eyes flashing, and then looked at Wei Zhuang and said.

Wei Zhuang nodded without speaking, picked up the Shark Tooth Sword, and got up to leave. Before leaving, he downed the wine in his hand and casually smashed the wine cup on the ground.

Han Fei stared blankly at Wei Zhuang's departing figure, then looked at the broken wine cup on the ground, and suddenly felt like crying.

"Why did he have to smash the wine glass when he was leaving? This was my favorite set of wine glasses!" Han Fei said with a bitter face.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Xu Qing and the others laughed inappropriately; Han Fei's appearance was simply too funny.

Seeing that Wei Zhuang had left, the rest of the group naturally lost interest in chatting and laughing, and began to pack their things and leave. Zhang Liang and Han Fei went ahead to the Han King's Palace to petition for Ji Wuye's reward, thus silencing Ji Wuye and preventing retaliation.

Xu Qing, along with Zi Nu and Nong Yu, drove towards Zi Lan Xuan, intending to go back and get some rest.

Tomorrow is Xu Qing's day off, but he plans to take advantage of the day off to go outside the city to find the Cheng Ying Sword.

He has already cultivated the Evergreen Skill to the fifth level, and his internal strength has reached the first-class level. If he wants to improve his strength quickly, he can only rely on the Noble Void Eight Swords.

Only by leveraging the Dao realm inherent in the Cheng Ying Sword could he possibly master the Eight Swords of Noble Void within two months, thus enabling him to fight against a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm.

Horse-drawn carriages travel on the streets of Xinzheng.

Seeing the commotion ahead, Xu Qing suddenly stopped the carriage.

"What's wrong?" Zi Nu and Nong Yu asked, lifting the carriage curtain and looking outside.

Xu Qing didn't speak, but silently watched the cavalry passing by. Zi Nu and Nong Yu also noticed the cavalry on the street ahead.

The cavalrymen were dressed in white armor, rode tall warhorses, and held up blood-red banners with a single white character written on them.

"White-Armored Army? It's Blood-Clad Marquis's White-Armored Army!?" Zi Nu exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s right. It seems that Marquis Bai Yifei has returned early to report for duty. Han Fei’s situation is probably going to be even worse.” Xu Qing said in a deep voice, looking at the white-armored army in front of him.

Chao Nu Yao had previously said that Bai Yifei would return to Xinzheng ahead of schedule to report for duty and then come to see him for medical treatment, but she did not expect him to return so quickly.

This only shows that Bai Yifei is eager to solve his physical problems, and he also has to face Bai Yifei, the Blood-Clad Marquis, to see what the other party's attitude is towards him.

Zi Nu remained silent, her purple eyes flashing with worry and tension. She and Wei Zhuang had chosen to support Han Fei, which meant they were destined to be enemies of Bai Yifei, one of the Four Fiends of the Night.

Compared to Ji Wuye, Bai Yifei is the most terrifying enemy.

After all the cavalrymen in front had left, Xu Qing drove the carriage back towards Zilan Pavilion.
