Chapter 119

~7 min read 1,278 words

In the Orchid Pavilion.

Su Xuan stayed here temporarily.

Although the city defense army under Ji Wuye was still searching for Su Xuan's whereabouts, Zinu and the others clearly felt that the intensity of the city defense army's search had decreased quite a bit.

Of course, there was a reason for all this.

The main reason was that the Han Wang had died.

Ji Wuye was currently busy with the Crown Prince supervising the state and the funeral of the Han Wang; how could he have the heart to pay attention to Su Xuan, a wanted criminal?

Admittedly, Su Xuan's strength was not bad.

But individual courage could never be brought to the table.

As long as the Crown Prince's position was stable, when the time came, a decree would be issued, and with the power of the whole nation, no matter how strong Su Xuan was, he would only have the path of being captured and brought to justice.

This day.

Su Xuan met Han Fei in the Orchid Pavilion.

Han Fei's beard seemed to have not been trimmed for some time, messy, and he himself seemed to have become much thinner, but only his eyes remained bright.

"You are willing to come before me because you have already found out the truth?"

Su Xuan looked at Han Fei, his voice calm.

During this period, Han Fei guarded his father's mourning during the day, and at night, he secretly explored the truth of his father's death. In this process, Wei Zhuang did not spare his help, even sneaking into the palace secretly at night.

In the original work, Han Fei displayed extraordinary detective talent, so Su Xuan was also quite curious about what Han Fei had found out.

"That's right!" Han Fei's voice was a bit hoarse. He said to Su Xuan: "Father's illness came so suddenly. According to the Imperial Physician, it was because Father had been depleted for a long time, and because of the Honglian incident, his heart was anxious, which induced the illness in his body."

"This statement is not unreasonable, but after I carefully explored Father's daily life before his death, I found that this statement has big problems."

"So, with the help of Brother Wei Zhuang, we raided the Imperial Physician and finally pried his mouth open, obtaining the fact that he was lying!"

"After Honglian was abducted, Father, because of his anxiety, had taken a bowl of soothing soup!"

"In other words, it was this bowl of soup that took the Han Wang's life?" Su Xuan looked at Han Fei and said.

Han Fei said in a deep voice: "That's right!"

"The Imperial Physician actually discovered the clues at the time, but because he had received benefits from Bai Yifei, he did not say it."

"Bai Yifei's benefits are not so easy to receive." Su Xuan sighed.

"I thought so too." Han Fei said bluntly, "According to my guess, after dealing with the Tian Ze matter, Bai Yifei should have found time to silence the Imperial Physician. Whether it was a ghost demanding a life, a killer seeking revenge, or an accident, the Imperial Physician, as a person who knew the truth, absolutely could not live. But because of some accidents, this matter was delayed."

"It's because Bai Yifei died at my hands, right!" Su Xuan knew what Han Fei wanted to say.

Han Fei was silent for a while, then said to Su Xuan: "Thank you!"

After finding out the truth, although the result was very shocking and uncomfortable, he also knew that his father's death was not Su Xuan's doing, but Bai Yifei's, and it also had an inseparable connection with Ji Wuye.

Although his father was already dead.

But Su Xuan killing Bai Yifei could be considered as avenging his father.

"When he chose to frame me, he had to pay the price." Su Xuan's tone was calm, stating the reason why he killed Bai Yifei.

Han Fei asked again: "What are your plans next?"

"Bai Yifei is, after all, the Blood-Clad Marquis who commands one hundred thousand troops, and the most capable general under Ji Wuye. His death cannot be hidden for too long."

After leaving the death row that night, although Yan Lingji set a fire and burned the corpses of those Baijia soldiers to ashes, this method of destroying evidence was a bit rough after all, and there were eventually traces left behind.

If the time was longer, and Bai Yifei did not appear, Ji Wuye would eventually discover the clues.

"Even if your father's death has nothing to do with you, you killed the Blood-Clad Marquis, and there is no place for you in the State of Han."

Su Xuan looked at Han Fei with interest, "Is Young Master Han worried about me?"

Han Fei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I just think we can be friends, and I don't want my friend to die like this."

"So, go to other countries!"

"The State of Qin, the State of Chu, the State of Zhao, all are fine, in short, leave the State of Han!"

"Don't worry, I will leave, but not now." Su Xuan said.

Han Fei frowned slightly.

Su Xuan changed his tone and said: "I heard that Young Master Han, along with Mr. Wei Zhuang, Miss Zinu, and others, created an organization called Quicksand, wanting to get rid of treacherous officials like Ji Wuye?"

Han Fei looked at Su Xuan curiously, "You mention this, what do you want to do?"

"I just want to tell Young Master Han that you probably won't be able to do this."

"Why?"

Su Xuan looked at Han Fei with a half-smile, "You don't think that killing one Bai Yifei can extinguish the anger in my heart, do you!"

"Ji Wuye, this culprit of everything, as long as he is not dead for one day, I will not be able to eat or sleep in peace!"

Han Fei's body shook, thinking of Su Xuan's shocking strength.

The Blood-Clad Hou Bai Yifei was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of Su Xuan, only able to be helplessly killed by Su Xuan.

Although Ji Wuye was known as the strongest general in the State of Han for a hundred years, in Han Fei's view, even if he was stronger than Bai Yifei, he wouldn't be much stronger.

If Su Xuan wanted to kill him, Ji Wuye would definitely die!

This kind of killing an opponent directly using the most barbaric means was something unacceptable to Han Fei, who advocated the rule of law.

He wanted to deal with Ji Wuye, and there were actually many ways, but the method he chose in his heart was to bring Ji Wuye to justice step by step through the law.

He did not agree with Su Xuan's methods.

But in the end, he did not voice his opposition, or rather, he did not have the qualifications to oppose.

Thanks to Ji Wuye's framing, Su Xuan had already fallen into becoming a wanted criminal in the State of Han, so what qualifications did he have to persuade Su Xuan to let Ji Wuye go.

Since he couldn't stop it, he would try to understand Su Xuan's thoughts as much as possible.

"When are you planning to make a move?"

"Seven days later, on the day of the Han Wang's funeral, I will send Ji Wuye to the west!"

"The Han Wang and Ji Wuye were monarch and subject for many years, as close as brothers. The Han Wang is already dead, so Ji Wuye, this survivor, should go down and accompany the Han Wang."
