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

Chapter 304, to be discussed later.

Outside the Hundred Fragrances Palace, Xin'er was carefully observing the surrounding scene. The sound of whips coming from inside the palace echoed her mistress's voice, creating an unforgettable melody.

But no matter how moving the music was, making people blush, it could no longer touch her.

After all, she was no longer the naive little maid she once was; she had long since become a seasoned and experienced lookout warrior, tempered by countless trials.

"Poor Imperial Physician!"

After a moment of reflection, Xin'er continued to perform her duties, guarding the door for Xu Qing and his wife.

Meanwhile, in the Han royal palace's council hall, the contest between Han Fei and Li Si reached a fever pitch.

Inside the council hall, Li Si, holding the ceremonial staff of the Qin envoy, spoke with great eloquence and fervor, overwhelming the Han king and his ministers.

"No matter what, the death of my Qin envoy must be explained by Han. Otherwise, my Qin cavalry will not hesitate to demand an explanation personally," Li Si said in a deep voice, looking around at the Han officials.

The Korean courtiers immediately panicked and lowered their heads, not daring to meet Li Si's gaze.

King Han sat on his throne, his hands clenched tightly under his sleeves. Although he maintained a calm expression on his face, his eyes were full of panic, and his gaze kept sweeping back and forth between Han Fei, Ji Wuye, and Bai Yifei.

Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei remained silent, watching Han Fei intently. Debating with others was not their forte, so they could only place their hopes on Han Fei.

Han Fei looked at Li Si and felt a little helpless. He found that his junior brother had suddenly become a different person. He no longer thought about competing with him. His words were full of the power of Qin and he showed no intention of falling into his trap.

Fortunately, he still had one last trump card.

"Your Excellency is being rather aggressive. Our state of Han has already apprehended the culprit. The assassination of you was carried out by the Tianze gang of villains from Baiyue, and the General has already captured one of them, Wushuang Gui, who is currently under the custody of Xueyi Hou. I think Qin will accept this explanation, won't they?"

Han Fei smiled confidently and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was surprised, and King Han An also looked at Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei.

Ji Wuye looked at Bai Yifei beside him. Bai Yifei maintained his aloof demeanor, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. However, he secretly glanced at Han Fei, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ji Wuye had no choice but to step forward and speak.
"It is true."

"In that case, hand over the Peerless Ghost to the envoy," King Han An said impatiently.

He dared not let the Qin army enter Han. If things got to that point, Han would truly become a piece of meat in Qin's mouth.

Everyone knows that the Qin state is a fierce and ruthless nation, and that the enemy is after them. If they really send troops, how could they be willing to accept a mere assassin?

If the Qin state is not allowed to eat and drink its fill, the enemy will have no chance of withdrawing their troops.

At that time, South Korea's already small territory will probably become almost the same size as that of the Kingdom of Wei.

"This matter is all thanks to the General. Father should remember the General's greatest contribution." Han Fei said to King Han An with his hands clasped, a slight smile on his lips and a glint in his eyes.

Han Fei naturally knew that Wushuang Gui had been rescued by Xu Qing, but Ji Wuye did not. The reason he asked Ji Wuye to hand over Wushuang Gui was not to give an explanation to the Qin state.

Instead, they wanted to distract from the power of darkness and find a scapegoat.

Now everyone knows that Wushuang Gui is in Ji Wuye's hands. If the other party cannot hand over Wushuang Gui, the outside world will think that Ji Wuye deliberately harbored a criminal. Even if it is explained that Wushuang Gui was kidnapped, Han Fei can still create a situation to say that Ji Wuye deliberately let it go.

In this way, Ji Wuye will definitely divert his forces to search for Tianze and the others. If Ji Wuye fails to capture Tianze and the others, then the blame for the assassination of the Qin envoy will fall on Ji Wuye, making him the ultimate scapegoat.

Inside the Hall of Hundred Fragrances in Mingzhu Palace.

The swaying bed had stopped, and Chao Nu Yao breathed a satisfied sigh of relief before nestling into Xu Qing's arms.

"I really have nothing to hide from you now," Xu Qing said softly, looking at the beauty in his arms and putting his arm around her waist.

Under the threat of the great white shark's gaping maw and whip, Xu Qing had no choice but to reveal his martial arts skills and his identity as a disciple of the Heavenly Sect.

As for other matters, especially those concerning Zi Nu, Yan Ling Ji, and Nong Yu, he naturally kept them to himself; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to walk out of Mingzhu Palace standing up today.

"Hmm~"

The trendy girl responded weakly, her pretty face still flushed, her rosy lips opening and closing slightly as she breathed lazily.

After Xu Qing's explanation through his actions, Chao Nu Yao no longer had the energy to argue. She was too lazy to even move a finger and just wanted to lie in Xu Qing's arms, greedily inhaling his scent.

After calming down a bit, the Tide Demoness slightly raised her head and looked at Xu Qing, asking...
"I believe you~ So what did you talk to Han Fei about that made you so tired?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Nightfall and Luowang joined forces to kill me, but it doesn't matter, I've already thought of a way to break the deadlock."

Xu Qing wrapped one arm around Chao Nu Yao's waist and the other hand climbed onto Su Qiu.

The Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon were far too complicated for Xu Qing to handle, and he dared not tell the Tide Demoness for fear of bringing her to her death. However, during the explanation just now, Xu Qing also understood some things: the Yin-Yang School, the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, the Pre-Heaven Bagua, the Post-Heaven Bagua, the Hetu and Luoshu, the principles of the operation of heaven and earth—this matter was indeed troublesome, but the only one that would truly bring risks was the Yin-Yang School.

The rest, though powerful and mysterious, were ultimately not living beings and posed no direct threat to him.

If these things get involved and cause him problems, he may not have the ability to resolve the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations, but he does have the ability to resolve the people who caused the problem.

Even without He Guanzi Lao Deng taking action, once Ying Zheng comes to power, he can lead the Qin army to conquer the Nine Palaces Divine Capital Mountain.

"Nightfall and the Net are going to join forces to kill you? Why didn't Ji Wuye tell me?"

Chao Nu Yao opened her slightly narrowed eyes, asked in surprise, and looked at Xu Qing with a worried expression.

“I’ll have someone tell my cousin to secretly help you, otherwise you won’t be able to deal with the assassinations from Nightfall and Luowang on your own.”

Chao Nv Yao's face was full of tension and worry. As she spoke, she tried to prop herself up so that someone would call Bai Yifei.

As one of the Four Fiends of Nightfall, Chao Nu Yao naturally knew the power of the Net. If Nightfall only wanted to eliminate Xu Qing, she naturally wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

"Shu'er, don't worry about me. The Luo Wang organization wants to kill me, but there are also people within the Luo Wang organization who will protect me."

Xu Qing pulled the Tide Demon back into his arms, holding the soft beauty in his embrace. He gently stroked her snow-white back with his small hands, as if soothing a cat with its fur standing on end, and told her about Hei Bai Xuan Jian, Yan Ri, and Jing Ni.

The succubus listened intently, a look of surprise flashing in her narrow eyes, her small hand gently covering her rosy lips.

"So, there are people in Qin who want to kill you, and others who want to protect you? Maybe you shouldn't go to Qin; the situation there is too complicated." The Tide Demoness swayed slightly as she spoke softly.

"Stop joking. I definitely have to go to Qin. I have some guesses about the Luo Wang assassination attempt, but I need to verify them after I enter Qin."

Xu Qing gently patted the voluptuous buttocks of the succulent woman and said with a thoughtful expression.

Xu Qing wasn't sure whether Qin or Luo Wang wanted to kill him, but he knew very well who wanted to protect him. Of the three controllers of Luo Wang, the only one who would protect him was Lü Buwei.

As for the assassination attempt, Xu Qing is currently only speculating; he is unsure whether it's a setup.

If someone really did set this up on purpose, what was their motive? Xu Qing couldn't see it clearly for the time being; he would probably have to meet the person who set it up to find out.

"Do you really have to leave?" Chao Nu Yao asked, her face showing a wronged expression and a hint of pleading.

“I have to leave, for you and for myself. Actually, I’m more worried about you. Let’s put the matter of the Net aside for now. Ji Wuye really wants to kill me,” Xu Qing said, looking at the Tide Demoness.

Upon hearing this, the Tide Demoness also dropped her aggrieved look and nodded solemnly.

“I understand. You’ve been getting too close to Han Fei lately, and my cousin and I have only ever been superficially obedient to him.”

“If my cousin and I weren’t irreplaceable, he would have found a way to get rid of us long ago and replaced us with two obedient people.”

"He wanted to kill someone, partly to teach me a lesson."

"That's why I'm worried about you. If this warning doesn't work, he'll probably take a series of further actions," Xu Qing said with concern.

Even a one-night stand can bring a hundred nights of affection. He and the Tide Demoness had spent countless days and nights together, and Xu Qing couldn't bring himself to leave without a second thought.

"You don't need to worry about me. Ji Wuye won't make a move against me for the time being. Han Fei has become the sole heir of King Han An. How could he not be worried?"

Chao Nu Yao chuckled and revealed that Ji Wu Ye wanted to fake the pregnancy of a favored concubine in the harem.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing revealed a mocking smile, gently teasing the succubus's chin, and said with a laugh.
"Ji Wuye is really desperate, resorting to such methods. It seems that South Korea is in for a good show."

"Yes, so you don't need to worry about me. Just be careful when you get to Qin."

The succubus bit her red lips and spoke with slightly labored breathing.

"We'll talk about these things another time!"

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he grabbed the hands of the Tide Demoness. Now that he had appeased the Tide Demoness, he was going to turn the tables and sing songs of power.

Of course, it was the trendy girl who sang.

"An impatient little man~ Hahahaha~"

The trendy girl gave Xu Qing a flirtatious look, then hooked the blanket around Xu Qing's body with her delicate, fair feet.

Just as Xu Qing and Chao Nu Yao were discussing future activities, Ji Wu Ye returned to the General's Mansion with Bai Yi Fei and Fei Cui Hu.
