The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

He began his exploration within Snowclothes Fortress.

After becoming a Xiantian, his perception surpassed that of the past. However, even so, finding the hidden chamber within Snowcloth Fortress was not so easy.

Fortunately, Jiangchuan has plenty of time.

On his first night, he familiarized himself with the layout of Snowcloth Castle.

After that, every night, he would disguise himself as Bai Yifei and come to the castle to continue his search.

He was also worried that Bai Yifei's prolonged absence might arouse Ji Wuye's suspicion.

On this day, he personally escorted the wine to Snow Robe Fortress during the day, pretending to meet with Blood Robe Marquis.

Then, he found Ji Wuye.

"Congratulations, General! Congratulations, General!"

Upon arriving at the General's Mansion, Jiang Chuan spoke to Ji Wuye.

Where does this joy come from?

Ji Wuye (Liao Nuo's) hadn't seen Jiang Chuan for a while, but he didn't feel any dislike for Jiang Chuan. After all, the account books that Jiang Chuan sent him were indeed very good. As long as Jiang Chuan could help him make money, he would be his capable assistant.

"To be honest, General, I went to Xueyi Fort today to deliver wine to the Marquis and learned some news from him."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye looked at Jiang Chuan with some surprise.

"What has he been doing all this time, keeping a low profile?" Ji Wuye asked curiously when Jiang Chuan mentioned the Blood-Clad Marquis.

"There's a reason why Lord Marquis hasn't shown himself yet," Jiang Chuan said to Ji Wuye. "I delivered wine to Xueyi Fort today and met Lord Marquis. He told me that he found Tianze's location that day, and after a fierce battle, he successfully killed Tianze. However, he was also injured by Tianze, which is why he hasn't shown himself yet—he's been recuperating."

"I see."

Ji Wuye finally understood why Bai Yifei hadn't shown up lately; it turned out he was injured.

But is Tianze really dead?

No wonder Tianze hasn't made a move for so long.

I thought he was lurking in the shadows, preparing to stir up trouble again, but it turns out he was killed by Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei was also wrong; he killed Tianze, such an important piece of news, yet he didn't tell him.

It made him worry for nothing for so long.

That being said, it is indeed good news.

Ji Wuye had no doubts and even planned to make a big fuss about Tianze's death, because he knew very well how much the King of Han feared and was wary of Tianze.

Han Yu had come to him earlier and made many promises.

Now it's time for him to put it into practice.

Ji Wuye's thoughts flickered, and he looked at Jiang Chuan and said, "The Marquis of Blood Robe trusts you quite a bit, actually telling you all these things."

He knew very well what kind of person Bai Yifei was: aloof and difficult to get along with.

If this person weren't so strong, a commander of 100,000 South Korean troops, and hadn't joined 293's ranks early on, he really wouldn't have been able to tolerate Bai Yifei's personality.

Bai Yifei killed Tianze, but did not tell him the news immediately, which revealed Bai Yifei's aloof nature.

As a result, Bai Yifei took the initiative to tell Jiang Chuan the news and asked Jiang Chuan to pass it on to him.

This means that in the short time since Bai Yifei's return, Jiang Chuan has already gained Bai Yifei's trust.

It's truly an incredible thing.

Of course, in terms of ability, Ji Wuye also recognized Jiang Chuan's abilities, after all, Jiang Chuan was better at making money than Fei Cuihu.

Jiang Chuan showed humility, "The Marquis and I both work for the General. The reason why the Marquis did not immediately relay this news to the General was firstly because he was seriously injured and in a hurry to treat his wounds, and secondly because I happened to be delivering wine to Xueyi Fort. The Marquis asked me to bring this news back for convenience."

Ji Wuye raised his eyes, sensing something unusual in Jiang Chuan's words, "It seems his injuries are really serious."

Jiang Chuan said, "Although I only have a rudimentary understanding of some basic martial arts, I know that Tianze was able to cause so much trouble and still get away with it. His strength should not be underestimated."

“That’s true.” Ji Wuye agreed with Jiang Chuan’s statement.

It is precisely because Tianze's strength is not to be underestimated, but rather formidable.

Therefore, it is understandable that Bai Yifei would be seriously injured after killing Tianze.

……

Jiang Chuan did not stay at Ji Wuye's residence for too long.

In the time that followed, he became obsessed with exploring ancient castles. Every night, he would disguise himself as Bai Yifei and go to Xueyi Castle outside the city to patrol his territory as Bai Yifei, the owner of Xueyi Castle.

As he explored Snowcloth Fortress more thoroughly, he gradually figured out its true nature and began to speculate about the location of the secret chamber within it.

I believe it won't be long before we find the secret room that Madam Mingzhu mentioned and discover Bai Yifei's legacy.

However, it was in the imperial court.

After learning of Tianze's death, Ji Wuye began to make a big fuss about it.

"Congratulations, Father! Congratulations, Father!"

On this day, as soon as the court assembly began, the fourth prince, Han Yu, took the initiative to congratulate the King of Han.

Inside the main hall, many ministers wore expressions of surprise and doubt.

In particular, Chancellor Zhang Kaidi and Minister of Justice Han Fei did not understand why the Fourth Prince would say such a thing.

The King of Han, seated on his throne, was equally curious.

"Han Yu, what brings you this joy?" King Han asked Han Yu.

Han Yu loudly proclaimed, "Your Majesty, I have received news that Tianze, the murderer who ravaged Xinzheng for some time and killed His Majesty the Crown Prince and the Qin envoy, has been brought to justice. The person who killed him was none other than General Ji Wuye."

"What?!" Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court were extremely shocked.

Han Fei and Zhang Kaidi had different expressions.

The former was simply surprised by the news, because Liu Sha had some dealings with Tian Ze. Han Fei had even once wanted to turn Tian Ze into his ally, so he sent Nong Yu into the palace to find an antidote for the Gu poison. Unfortunately, Nong Yu lost contact after that.

Then Tianze killed the crown prince and the Qin envoy, which made Han Fei completely give up this delusional idea.

He never expected that Tianze, who had disappeared for so long, had actually been killed by Ji Wuye.

Zhang Kaidi, on the other hand, considered the impact of this matter.

According to Han Yu, Tian Ze was killed by Ji Wuye.

Zhang Kai knew very well what kind of trouble Tian Ze had caused. Now that Ji Wuye had killed Tian Ze, he had undoubtedly made a great contribution.

The death of the crown prince, who was originally close to Ji Wuye, presented him with an opportunity to strike at Ji Wuye.

Now, Ji Wuye has made another great contribution, which will obviously further solidify his position in front of the king.

The initial group number is 763480157.

Zhang Kai also noticed a detail.

That is to say, this news was not reported to the king by Ji Wuye, but was told by the fourth prince Han Yu.

How did the Fourth Young Master find out about this?

Has he already colluded with Ji Wuye?

If so, this is not good news.

The reason is that the Fourth Prince Han Yu has a reputation for virtue and is a strong candidate for the position of Crown Prince after the death of the Crown Prince.

King Han didn't think that much about it. Upon hearing the news, he immediately looked at General Ji Wuye and asked, "General, is this true?"

Ji Wuye stepped forward and addressed King Han, saying, "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed true. Tianze was executed a few days ago, but due to certain reasons, I was unable to preserve Tianze's body. I regret that I could not hang his corpse on the city wall."

The King of Han didn't care too much about what Ji Wuye said afterward; all he cared about was Tianze's death.

"Great, that's wonderful."

With Tianze's death, it was as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.

A long-lost smile appeared on the King of Han's face.

Just then, the fourth prince, Han Yu, spoke up again: "The Great General has killed Tian Ze, resolved the calamity of our Han state, and made a great contribution. He should be richly rewarded. Father, as far as I know, the Great General's son is already of marriageable age. It just so happens that Hong Lian is also of marriageable age. Why not bestow Hong Lian upon the Great General's son in marriage?"

"Firstly, it would demonstrate the benevolence of the royal family; secondly, it would motivate the General to serve our country, Korea, with even greater dedication."

Chapter 138 Court Struggle

Han Yu's words struck like a thunderbolt, reverberating through the minds of the many civil and military officials in the court.

Even if there is no body, Ji Wuye would obviously not admit to killing Tianze without a reason.

Whether Tianze is alive or dead, once Ji Wuye acknowledges this, it means that Tianze can no longer appear.

The problem has indeed been resolved.

Ji Wuye has performed such a great service, he should be rewarded.

But in most people's minds, the so-called reward is at most just a reward of money or something like that.
