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

Xinzheng, Zilanxuan.

A woman dressed in purple with purple hair gently opened the door in front of her.

Inside the room, Wei Zhuang, dressed in a black and gold robe and with short white hair, was sitting at a wooden table, intently reading Han Fei's masterpiece, "Five Vermin."

Seeing Wei Zhuang engrossed in reading, Zi Nu swayed her graceful waist as she walked up to him and said with a smile, "It seems this Ninth Prince is indeed no ordinary person; his work has captivated you so much."

Upon hearing Zi Nu's voice, Wei Zhuang immediately looked away from the scroll in front of him and calmly said:

"This Ninth Young Master does have some ability, but seeing things clearly doesn't mean he can do them."

Zi Nu was quite surprised to hear Wei Zhuang's evaluation.

As a descendant of Guiguzi, a strategist, Wei Zhuang is an arrogant and haughty person.

To receive such high praise from Wei Zhuang, that Ninth Prince must be an exceptional individual.

"If that's the case, then I'm really looking forward to his performance in the future."

Perhaps he can turn the impossible into the possible.

Wei Zhuang did not choose to continue the conversation.

He does not intend to comment on Han Fei at this time.

"You probably have something else to tell me."

Seeing Wei Zhuang's deliberate attempt to change the subject, Zi Nu smiled gently and said, "That's right, I have something else to tell you. The eleventh prince of Han is going back to Xinzheng."

I heard that he recruited an extraordinary person for South Korea in Nanyang.

"An extraordinary person?"

Wei Zhuang frowned slightly.

"A descendant of a military strategist from the State of Wei."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang immediately thought of a name.

His expression turned serious again: "Wei Liao?"

"That's right, it's that Mr. Wei Liao. The Wei family has served as the Grand Commandant in the State of Wei for generations, in charge of the country's military and political affairs."

Zi Nu nodded gently.

"It seems that Xinzheng is going to become quite interesting from now on."

As he finished speaking, a slight smile curved Wei Zhuang's lips.

Upon seeing this, Zi Nu's lips curled up slightly.

Their attention to Han Che was no less than that to Han Fei.

Moreover, since Han Che is in South Korea, they know more about him.

This eleventh young master is not as simple as he seems.

Although he was not in the power center of South Korea before, but went to Nanyang to serve as a local garrison commander, it was precisely because of this that he easily built up a team for himself in Nanyang.

Most importantly, this eleventh prince holds military power.

Five thousand troops may not seem like a large force, but the five hundred well-organized cavalrymen are a force to be reckoned with.

In the Central Plains, a region dominated by plains, five hundred cavalrymen, if used properly, can be just as effective as fifty thousand infantrymen.

Now that he has returned to Xinzheng at this time and recruited someone like Wei Liao, he is sure to achieve great things.

If nothing unexpected happens, Han Che's target will be Ji Wuye, who now controls most of the military power in South Korea, and his Nightfall organization.

If Wei Liao were to become the Grand Commandant of Han, then Ji Wuye's army would be hampered by Han Che.

The Grand Commandant holds the power over personnel appointments, dismissals, and promotions within the army.

While Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang were discussing Han Che, Han Che had already set off from Nanyang and was on his way to Xinzheng.

Five hundred cavalrymen, led by Zhao Meng, escorted his convoy.

He did not bring Wei Liao with him on this trip, but left Wei Liao in Nanyang to handle the affairs of Nanyang on his behalf.

Although he highly recognized Wei Liao's abilities and Wei Liao himself was quite famous, it was not something that could be done in a short time to promote Wei Liao to the position of Grand Commandant of the State of Han.

Moreover, there's a super-rich tiger in Nanyang waiting for him to catch.

Emerald Tiger, one of the Four Fiends of Nightfall, comes from a family with wealth comparable to that of a nation, and provides financial support to the Nightfall organization.

If nothing unexpected happens, this big tiger will soon be causing trouble in Nanyang.

The disaster in Nanyang depicted in the anime was actually caused by others.

If handled properly, this matter could not only serve as a stepping stone for Wei Liao's promotion, but also prevent Nanyang from being messed up by Fei Cui Hu later.

Promoting Wei Liao to the position of Grand Commandant was his first step in seizing power in the State of Han, and something he had to do.

After all, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

With an army in hand, anything is easy to do in this era of moral decay.

Ji Wuye and his group are so arrogant in South Korea because they control most of the South Korean military.

After Han Che left Xinzheng, Jing Ni also left Nanyang, following Han Che at a distance.

……

Our gaze then fell upon Han Fei.

With the help of Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu, Han Fei has made progress in figuring out how the ghost soldiers robbed the supplies.

The ghost soldiers who robbed the pay didn't actually steal the real military pay; they stole the water-soluble gold that would dissolve upon contact with water.

The actual military pay had been embezzled by his two uncles and some other people.

Thinking of this, Han Fei, sitting in front of the wooden desk, sighed and rubbed his forehead.

The situation in South Korea is worse than he imagined.

Even if his two uncles didn't really want to do it, but were coerced by others.

But if even his two uncles could be coerced, then who else wouldn't dare to mess with them?

I'm afraid those people don't even respect his father.

At this moment, Zhang Liang walked in and asked, "Brother Han, why are you sighing so much? Have you encountered any difficulties in solving the case?"

Upon hearing Zhang Liang's voice, Han Fei's face immediately lit up with joy, his previous dejection vanishing: "Zifang, you've come!"

However, Zhang Liang was not swayed by Han Fei: "Brother Han, you still haven't answered my question?"

The Ghost Soldiers' robbery of military pay not only concerned the South Korean army's pay, but also the future of his grandfather, Zhang Kaidi, and the entire Zhang family.

Seeing Zhang Liang's obvious concern, Han Fei had no choice but to reply, "Zifang, my sigh just now had nothing to do with the case; it was about something else. The case has not only encountered no difficulties, but has actually made significant progress."

As he finished speaking, Han Fei's face lit up with joy once again.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang was also overjoyed and praised, "Brother Han is indeed remarkable; you have achieved results in just a few days."

Han Fei replied modestly, "Zifang, you flatter me. I was able to achieve this result only with the help of a benefactor."

Although he was very curious about the identity of that important person, Zhang Liang wisely refrained from asking further questions.

His relationship with Han Fei is not that close yet.

The two are currently in a relationship of mutual exploitation.

Han Fei needed the Zhang family's connections to become the Minister of Justice in Han and take charge of Han's criminal law, while the Zhang family needed Han Fei's intelligence and status as a prince of Han to deal with this crisis.

Han Fei didn't say much about it, but stood up and continued, "Now that you're here, Zifang, let's continue with the case."

Zi Nu is alright, but he's not familiar with Wei Zhuang yet, so even if he wanted to introduce Wei Zhuang to Zhang Liang, it wouldn't be appropriate.
