Martial Arts Universe: With a single command, 100,000 iron cavalry will sweep across the martial wor

Han Fei knew these guards wielding powerful crossbows were no ordinary men; he hadn't expected Lord Wu Xiang's troops to disguise themselves as guards and come to Han. Who was inside the carriage? Han Fei thought for a moment. Whoever was inside, this was a rare opportunity—if he could establish contact with the person inside, he might be able to reach Lord Wu Xiang and find powerful allies for Han. Even if Qin wanted to attack Han in the future, they would have more to consider.

So he said solemnly, "General Ji, if I say they are not the murderers, then they are not. I am willing to stake my life on it."

Ji Wuye was puzzled: Why was this Ninth Prince so protective of the person in the carriage, even risking his own life? There were thousands of soldiers present, and everyone had heard Yan Lingji's identification. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the person in the carriage was now considered the murderer of the Qin envoy. Han Fei's actions were tantamount to courting death… Should they take this opportunity to eliminate him?

Ji Wuye said coldly, "Ninth Young Master, you said those words yourself. Yan Lingji, who personally killed the Qin envoy, is right here. You can ask her yourself. Otherwise, you might feel resentful when I deal with you later."

Han Fei glanced at Yan Lingji, who was being held back by Mo Ya and Bai Feng, and calmly smiled, "Of course I will ask. But General Ji, I also want to give you a piece of advice: although you can control everything in Han, there are some people you can't afford to offend. You'd better think it through."

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye looked at the heavily guarded carriage with surprise and suspicion, his heart filled with unease. He understood the implication of Han Fei's words—the people inside might be people he couldn't afford to offend. Were they Qin people, or distinguished guests from other regions?

Han Fei walked up to Yan Lingji, looked at her beautiful face, and asked, "Yan Lingji, are the people in the carriage your accomplices?"

Yan Lingji answered decisively, "That's right."

Yan Lingji confessed without hesitation. At this point, denying it would only lead to a worse fate. She had already offended the people in the car, and she was actually curious about who they were. Han Fei, however, didn't believe a word she said, thinking Yan Lingji was definitely making things up. "The people in the car are your accomplices, you should know who they are, right?"

Yan Lingji played with her hair and chuckled softly:

"How would I know? He was someone my master, Tianze, hired to help me. He didn't even get out of the car, how would I recognize him?"

Han Fei laughed heartily after hearing this:

"Haha, Yan Lingji, since Tianze invited him to help you, how can you betray him like this? Aren't you afraid Tianze will blame you?"

Yan Lingji was momentarily speechless, not expecting the Ninth Prince to be so quick-witted. She hurriedly tried to defend herself:

"They saw me surrounded but didn't help, so naturally I had to drag them down with me. Since they came to help me, they should help me to the end."

"Yan Ling Ji, think carefully. Your words could bring annihilation to Baiyue."

"Heh, I'm telling the truth. Ninth Young Master of Han Kingdom, are you trying to force me to say they aren't accomplices?"

"...Fine, you'd better watch yourself."

Han Fei shook his head when he saw that she was determined to drag the people in the carriage into the mess. Even if Yan Lingji wasn't captured by Ji Wuye, she probably wouldn't escape the methods of the people in the carriage.

Ji Wuye glared fiercely at Han Fei after he finished asking his question:

"Han Fei, what do you have to say now? Even if I kill you right now, the King of Han won't say a word."

Wei Zhuang immediately held up his Shark Tooth Sword and stood in front of Han Fei, fearing that Ji Wuye would suddenly attack Han Fei, who did not know martial arts.

Wei Zhuang was truly helpless that Han Fei, this scholar, dared to approach Ji Wuye, a master at the peak of his level.

"General Ji, I hope you'll still say that later."

After speaking to Ji Wuye, Han Fei walked towards the carriage. He had to find out who was inside—if this matter was not handled properly, not only would he not receive Wu Xiangjun's help, but it might also bring great disaster to the Han Kingdom.

"Halt! Advance any further and you will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as Han Fei took a step, the commander, disguised as a guard, shouted to stop him, and the guards around him raised their crossbows and aimed them at him.

"Commander, I am a friend of your sovereign. Please inform him of my presence."

The centurion of the Netherworld Iron Cavalry asked in confusion, "You know our lord?"

Han Fei had no choice but to engage in idle chatter with the guard leader. After all, it couldn't be Lord Wu Xiang, Su Qingfeng, sitting in the carriage; even if Lord Wu Xiang found out later, he would always have a way to deal with it. "That's right, I have a very close relationship with your lord. We became fast friends at first sight during the Sui Dynasty, almost to the point of becoming sworn brothers." The centurion of the Netherworld Iron Cavalry looked suspicious: "You're not lying to me, are you? How could our lord know you?"

"Absolutely. I'd like to see the person in the car this time. Could you please inform them?" "Please wait a moment, I'll go inform them." "Thank you."

Ji Wuye was filled with surprise and doubt. His Majesty? Who exactly was the "His Majesty" that Han Fei and the guard leader spoke of? The Sui Dynasty? Could it be the ruler of the Sui Dynasty?

Ji Wuye also wanted to see what kind of person this nobleman, whom Han Fei treated with such caution, was.

Su Qingfeng, inside the carriage, was utterly dumbfounded upon hearing Han Fei's words. When had Han Fei become so close to him? He even said they almost became sworn brothers? He hadn't even exchanged a single word with him. This Han Fei was even more shameless than him.

Shi Guanyin asked Su Qingfeng suspiciously, "Do you know that Ninth Young Master of Han?" Su Qingfeng replied irritably, "Know him my foot! This Han Fei is really good at talking nonsense. I've only met him once, and we haven't even spoken. What kind of nonsense is he spouting? Sworn brothers? I want to beat him up right now."

Shi Guanyin hadn't expected that the handsome Ninth Prince of Korea would also be such a smooth talker, a trait somewhat similar to Su Qingfeng. "Heh, this man is indeed a bit shameless, just like you, neither of you are particularly refined." "Madam, how can you speak of your future husband like that?"

"Alright, let's not dwell on that. Now, this Ninth Young Master wants to see the person in the carriage. Do you want to see him?"

"What meeting? Go and send everyone outside away. I've come in secret, and I'll only appear when the King of Qin comes of age. I don't want to get involved in these troublesome affairs of Han." Shi Guanyin nodded. Su Qingfeng had already told her the purpose of his trip. She hadn't expected that Su Qingfeng actually commanded tens of thousands of troops in Qin, and was preparing to support the King of Qin in seizing power and taking over the government. This made Shi Guanyin quite proud; it turned out that Su Qingfeng had considerable influence in the Sui Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and even the Qin Dynasty in the Eastern Continent.

"Young Master, Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of Han, requests an audience."

Upon hearing the message from the guards outside, Shi Guanyin nodded to Su Qingfeng and then alighted from the carriage. She also wanted to meet this shameless Ninth Prince of Han, who was just as brazen as Su Qingfeng, and see what kind of nonsense he could come up with. "Madam," the commander of the Netherworld Iron Cavalry bowed hastily upon seeing Shi Guanyin alight from the carriage.

Han Fei was surprised to see a woman with a veil covering her face step down from the carriage, and the guards beside her addressed her as "Madam".

He had met all of Wu Xiangjun Su Qingfeng's wives, including the Grandmaster Swordsman, the Yin Yang School's Dongjun Yanfei, and the woman who didn't know martial arts, but he had never seen the one in front of him before.

When Wei Zhuang saw that a woman emerged from the carriage, a slight twitch appeared on his lips. He had long known that Lord Wu Xiang was fond of beautiful women, but he hadn't expected to encounter another one of his women in Han Kingdom. However, Wei Zhuang had never seen this woman before in the Sui Dynasty, yet he vaguely sensed that she posed a great threat to him. Upon closer inspection, he couldn't discern whether she possessed martial arts skills, which filled him with doubt.

Ji Wuye breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was a woman who had come down. He never cared much about women, especially one who seemed to know no martial arts.

Looking at the woman's slender and perfect figure, Ji Wuye couldn't help but be moved. Although her face was veiled, he could tell from her figure alone that she was an absolute beauty.

Yan Lingji felt a pang of regret. She hadn't expected there to be a woman in the carriage. Knowing Ji Wuye's character well, she knew that if this woman fell into his hands, she would likely be in a state of utter misery.

She wanted to explain to Han Fei and Ji Wuye that this woman had nothing to do with her, but she knew it was too late to say anything now. She could only hope that the woman had a powerful backer, so that Ji Wuye wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Shi Guanyin glanced around and found it all rather boring. The strongest among these people was the ugly Han general, who was only at the peak of the Grandmaster level; she could crush him with one hand.

She looked at Han Fei and deliberately asked, "Han Fei, do you know my husband?"

Han Fei was taken aback, then replied, "We met once before. Madam, I apologize for my rudeness; if I hadn't said that, I probably wouldn't have been able to see you."

He was somewhat embarrassed, not expecting this woman to be the wife of Lord Wu Xiang. Things might be getting complicated now; he wondered if Ji Wuye would make a move against Lord Wu Xiang's woman.

Shi Guanyin was pleased to see that Han Fei spoke frankly and did not lie in front of her, and that he addressed her as "Lady Jun".

She could tell that Han Fei wanted something from her; otherwise, he wouldn't have addressed her that way to curry favor.

Shi Guanyin smiled gently and said to Han Fei:

"Heh, you're just like my husband. Tell me, what brings you here?"

Han Fei bowed to Su Qingfeng's woman and said:

"Madam, the situation is rather troublesome. General Ji Wuye has accused you of murdering the Qin envoy, and Yan Lingji also claims you are her accomplice. I would like to ask Madam to explain this to General Ji Wuye."

Upon hearing this, Shi Guanyin turned to look at Ji Wuye, who had an ugly appearance, and spoke without any politeness.

"General Ji Wuye? My husband mentioned you. You're a rough-looking, reckless warrior who became the general of Han Kingdom through sheer luck. If the King of Han were to employ you, he'd be more than just incompetent; he'd also be blind."

Ji Wuye blushed crimson at these words. Though he knew his appearance was unsightly, since assuming power, no one had ever dared to speak ill of him to his face. Now, mounted on his horse, he raised his sword, pointing it directly at the woman, and roared:

"Insolence! This is Han Kingdom! How dare you publicly insult this general and criticize the king! You will not be spared today!"

Shi Guanyin glanced at him, too lazy to pay him any attention. If Su Qingfeng hadn't instructed her not to kill this ugly Ji Wuye, she would have already taken his life based on his words just now.

She turned to look at Yan Lingji, whose face was filled with shame, and asked:

"You are Yan Lingji, aren't you? You just said I was your accomplice. Now that you see I'm just a weak woman who can't even kill a chicken, and you can't save me, do you feel regretful? Or do you feel sorry for me seeing me trapped by the Han army?"

Yan Lingji gazed at the woman behind the veil and whispered:

"I really regret it... I didn't expect it to be you in the car. I've dragged you into this mess. I'll do my best to buy you some time. You should escape as soon as possible."

Do you think I can still escape now?

"I'm afraid it won't be easy... but the Ninth Prince of Han might be able to help you."
