Chapter 36: Indefensible, a Black Pot!

"You motherfucker, you're talking shit!"

Even though Ji Ji Wuye prided himself on being steady and usually had extremely high self-restraint, upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, he couldn't help but fly into a rage.

Did he need to kill Liu Yi?

Or rather, if he wanted to monopolize military and political power, did he need to achieve it by killing Liu Yi?

Who didn't know that Liu Yi was his man and followed his lead?

It was impossible for him to kill Liu Yi.

"Why does the Grand General need to use such vulgar language?" Su Xuan said lightly. "Although the Grand General is a martial man and it is normal to be vulgar, this is the court after all. Please pay attention to the occasion, Grand General."

"Or is it because the truth has been exposed by me?"

Su Xuan looked at Ji Ji Wuye quietly, his tone shifting. "Grand General... are you anxious?"

Upon hearing this, sharp murderous intent was immediately released from Ji Ji Wuye’s body. He stared at Su Xuan as if he were a wild beast waiting to devour someone.

He had thought Su Xuan could find out the truth of Liu Yi’s death; no one expected that Su Xuan would actually accuse him of sending someone to kill Liu Yi.

How absurd and infuriating was this?

He didn't know where he had offended Su Xuan.

But it didn't matter.

The matter of Emerald Tiger had not been resolved, and now, with the other party publicly accusing him in the court,

he had already listed this person as a must-kill target!

Therefore, even though he was in the court, he did not hide his murderous intent.

"What heavy murderous intent!"

Su Xuan said lightly, without fear.

Admittedly, Ji Ji Wuye was a rare expert; even Wei Zhuang in his youth would have to be extremely cautious when fighting him.

But Su Xuan... was fearless.

Zhang Kaidi’s eyebrows raised slightly, surprised by Su Xuan’s words and also sighing at Ji Ji Wuye’s performance.

Emerald Tiger was caught, and Liu Yi was dead.

In just a few days, he had lost two capable lieutenants, one in the court and one in the private sector. Even for Ji Ji Wuye, he was plunged into unprecedented anger and finally could not control his emotions.

Although recommending Su Xuan to investigate Liu Yi’s death was done with the intention of testing Su Xuan,

Su Xuan’s performance truly exceeded his expectations.

He actually accused Ji Ji Wuye of sending someone to kill Liu Yi in public.

What deep hatred did he have with Ji Ji Wuye?

Zhang Kaidi couldn't guess the truth, but it didn't matter.

Since Su Xuan was at odds with Ji Ji Wuye, he must protect Su Xuan and take the opportunity to show goodwill to Su Xuan; perhaps he could gain a powerful ally.

"Mr. Su is right; this is the court after all, not the Grand General’s home." Zhang Kaidi said, his voice flat. "In addition, whether Liu Yi was killed by the Hundred Birds, the personal guards under the Grand General, the Grand General only needs to summon that person and confront them face to face."

"Using vulgar language in the court, what does that mean?"

"Zhang Kaidi!" Ji Ji Wuye gritted his teeth.

Although Zhang Kaidi only reminded him, just because Zhang Kaidi helped Su Xuan speak at this moment, he had already identified the two as being in the same boat. If he wanted to kill anyone most right now, it was Su Xuan, and then Zhang Kaidi.

Zhang Kaidi heard the anger in Ji Ji Wuye’s words but didn't care.

He had fought with Ji Ji Wuye for many years; just as Ji Ji Wuye wanted to topple him, how could he not want to topple Ji Ji Wuye?

"Enough!"

Seeing that Ji Ji Wuye and Zhang Kaidi were about to argue, the King of Han on the throne finally spoke.

For Su Xuan to directly say that Ji Ji Wuye sent someone to kill Liu Yi, he actually wanted to say that Su Xuan’s words were too arbitrary, but Su Xuan was an Immortal Master after all. Since he said this, he must have his basis. Even if he wanted to refute Su Xuan, it shouldn't be on such an occasion, but in private.

Zhang Kaidi had said one thing very correctly.

"If the Grand General really has a personal guard organization named Hundred Birds, then just call them here to confront them. If it wasn't someone from them who killed the Left Left Sima, I will naturally clear the Grand General’s name!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that the King of Han had said so, no matter how angry Ji Ji Wuye was, he could only accept the order.

Su Xuan looked at Ji Ji Wuye and said lightly: "Grand General, remember, the one who killed the Left Left Sima was a person in the Hundred Birds organization with the code name Vulture. Of course, no one can guarantee whether others are also suspicious. If the Grand General doesn't mind, you can summon them all!"

"You don't need to bother saying that!" Ji Ji Wuye gritted his teeth.

Because he was eager to find out the truth of Liu Yi’s death, Ji Ji Wuye also wanted to prove his innocence and refute Su Xuan’s words.

He immediately ordered people to go to his mansion to summon the people of Hundred Birds.

Although the appearance of Hundred Birds assassins in public would have some influence,

he didn't care at this moment.

He firmly believed that his Hundred Birds would have no problems.

His people could not possibly have killed Liu Yi, and he had never given the order to kill Liu Yi.

However, when Mo Ya, the leader of the Hundred Birds squad, arrived at the palace with the messenger, Ji Ji Wuye’s eyebrows still couldn't help but wrinkle.

"Why are you the only one? Where is Vulture?"

In the court, because they wanted to see how Ji Ji Wuye would prove his innocence, many ministers were waiting here.

They had thought this man in black was the suspect who killed the Left Left Sima. Now, hearing Ji Ji Wuye’s words, they immediately felt something unusual.

Mo Ya didn't know the purpose of the Grand General summoning Vulture to the court, but after hearing the Grand General’s counter-question, he answered truthfully: "Please forgive me, Grand General, Vulture... he escaped..."

"Escaped?"

Hearing this answer, Ji Ji Wuye couldn't help but be stunned.

He had thought of many possibilities.

The most likely one was that he summoned the people of Hundred Birds here, they denied killing Liu Yi, and Su Xuan’s lie was broken.

He had not expected that Vulture would actually escape.

"It seems someone knew what this summons was for, so they fled in fear of crime in advance!" Su Xuan said, continuing to aim his spear at Ji Ji Wuye. "It is hard to say whether this act was instigated by the Grand General?"

Ji Ji Wuye was still angry, and besides anger, he was inevitably a bit afraid.

It seemed like everything was done by him.

Killing Liu Yi was his instigation, and Vulture’s escape was also his instigation.

So did he do these things?

Naturally, he did not.

But with Su Xuan’s words, plus Vulture’s unexplained escape, even without evidence, he couldn't explain it for a while.
