Qin Dynasty: Becoming a peerless master through the Golden Light Mantra

As Dongjun pondered how to complete his task, a new day arrived without him even realizing it.

That morning, two royal decrees were issued from the Xinzheng Royal Palace.

One document was used to appease Ji Wuye, praising him for his merit in recovering the military funds and awarding him a thousand gold pieces; the other was used to commend the Ninth Prince Han Fei, appointing him as the Minister of Justice of the State of Han.

The General's Mansion.

Seeing Zhang Liang released by Ji Wuye, Mo Ya, who was behind Ji Wuye, breathed a sigh of relief.

Things didn't go as far as he had imagined.

They didn't intend to completely break ties with Ji Wuye like that.

After leading his men out of Ji Wuye's residence, Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

That was really dangerous.

When the royal decree was read aloud, he could clearly sense the killing intent emanating from Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye was prepared to fight to the death.

Fortunately, they successfully grasped Ji Wuye's psychology.

Otherwise, he would most likely have died here today.

Just then, Zhang Liang noticed Han Che's figure appearing in front of him.

He was accompanied by more than a dozen burly, fully armed soldiers as guards.

"Eleventh Young Master!"

Zhang Liang immediately stepped forward and bowed.

Han Che smiled and said, "It seems that Zifang's trip went very smoothly, so I can rest assured."

Upon hearing Han Che's words and glancing at the armored soldiers beside him, Zhang Liang immediately realized what was going on.

These guards were all fierce warriors capable of charging into battle.

Therefore, Han Che's actions were definitely not as simple as just passing through.

He was observing the situation at the General's Mansion from here.

Zhang Liang bowed to Han Che again, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Eleventh Young Master. I am unworthy of such praise."

Han Che raised his right hand and patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder: "Zifang, you are the future pillar of Han. I don't want anything to happen to you here."

Suppressing his emotions, Zhang Liang said, "Young Master, I must return to the palace to report back. I will definitely pay you a visit another day."

Han Che was in a good mood upon hearing this: "Then I'll wait for Zifang at home."

……

After bidding farewell to Zhang Liang, Han Che ordered the armored soldiers who had accompanied him to return to their camp.

He then headed towards another destination for the day.

Zilanxuan!

He had not yet visited this notorious den of iniquity in Xinzheng.

Today he's going to go in and find out what's going on.

At the same time, this is also the first step he has taken to dispel the rumors surrounding him.

The Purple Orchid Pavilion was very quiet during the day.

Even before entering the Purple Orchid Pavilion, Han Che could faintly smell a pleasant fragrance from outside.

When Han Che arrived, Han Fei and the other two were standing on the top floor window, gazing in the direction of the General's Mansion.

Judging by the time, Zhang Liang should have already arrived at the General's Mansion and begun to read out the royal decree.

At this moment, Zi Nu caught a glimpse of Han Che walking towards Zi Lan Xuan from the corner of her eye: "Ninth Young Master, Eleventh Young Master is here."

Upon hearing Zi Nu's reminder, both Han Fei and Wei Zhuang noticed Han Che.

As Han Che entered Zilan Pavilion, he saw Zi Nu swaying her graceful waist as she walked down the stairs.

Han Che stopped in the center of the hall, looked up at Zi Nu who was descending the stairs, and asked, "Did Miss Zi Nu come here specifically to welcome me?"

As Zi Nu descended the stairs, she replied, "That's right. I wonder if Eleventh Young Master came to Zi Lan Pavilion today to look for someone, or to have some fun?"

As she finished speaking, Zi Nu, who had already come to stand in front of Han Che, wore a mysterious smile.

She still remembered her conversation with Han Che last night.

This eleventh young master in front of me must be visiting a place like this for the first time.

"Miss Zi Nu, Zi Lan Xuan shouldn't be open for business yet at this time, right?"

"It's true that it hasn't opened for business yet, but if Young Master Eleven is interested, the ladies of Zilan Pavilion would be happy to entertain you and ensure that you have a great time here."

"It's better not to trouble the girls of Zilan Pavilion. I came here today mainly to see what Zilan Pavilion, which is admired by many powerful and wealthy people, is really like."

"Did Zilan Pavilion disappoint you, young master?"

"Zilan Pavilion is indeed a nice place. No wonder Ninth Brother has been coming here often since returning to Xinzheng."

After surveying the main hall of Zilan Pavilion, Han Che turned his attention back to Zi Nu: "Miss Zi Nu, Ninth Brother should be in Zilan Pavilion right now."

Seeing that Han Che had steered the conversation toward Han Fei, Zi Nu was not surprised: "The Ninth Young Master is currently upstairs waiting for the Eleventh Young Master."

Han Che smiled and nodded: "Please lead the way, Miss Zi Nu."

"Young master, please follow me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zi Nu turned around and led the way for Han Che.

Inside a private room on the top floor.

Han Che walked in and saw Han Fei and Wei Zhuang sitting around a wooden table.

Tea that had already been prepared was placed on the wooden table.

As the two men looked over, Han Che bowed to them and said, "Ninth Brother, Brother Wei Zhuang, I apologize for disturbing you."

"Eleventh brother, please sit down."

Han Fei gestured for Han Che to sit down next to him.

Upon hearing this, Han Che walked over and sat down next to Han Fei.

Wei Zhuang was sitting opposite him.

At the same time, Zi Nu came to Han Che's side and poured him tea.

After Zi Nu finished pouring the tea, Han Fei asked, "Eleventh Brother, I heard from Brother Wei Zhuang that you encountered Dong Jun of the Yin Yang School last night, and that her target in Xinzheng was you."

Meeting Han Fei's worried gaze, Han Che gently shook his head and replied:

"Yes, but Ninth Brother, you don't need to worry about me. I can handle Dongjun of the Yin Yang School."

Looking at the confident Han Che, Han Fei thought for a moment and decided to put his mind at ease.

According to Wei Zhuang, the Eastern Lord of the Yin-Yang School seems to be no match for his eleventh brother.

Speaking of which, the eleventh brother is really quite powerful.

According to Wei Zhuang's assessment, Dong Jun of the Yin Yang School, though young, was already a renowned master in the martial arts world.

I wonder who is more powerful, him or Wei Zhuang, a disciple of Guiguzi.

With these thoughts in mind, Han Fei's gaze shifted back and forth between Han Che and Wei Zhuang.

Han Fei's subtle actions were completely observed by the three people beside him.

Han Che smiled and teased, "Ninth Brother, are you wondering who's more powerful, me or Brother Wei Zhuang?"

Han Fei was quite embarrassed that his thoughts had been exposed.

"Eleventh brother, I'm just a little curious. Yes, just curious."

"boring!"

Wei Zhuang started to complain.

Although he said that, his gaze towards Han Che carried a hint of fighting spirit.

At this moment, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Zi Nu interjected, "Eleventh Young Master, you must have something important to discuss with Ninth Young Master today."

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room became heavy.

Han Fei and Wei Zhuang had both forgotten what had just happened.

"I have indeed come here on important business. First, I have come to tell you that Zifang is alright and is returning to the palace to report back."

Han Fei and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Then, seeing Han Che pause, Han Fei asked, "And what about number two?"
