Chapter 44: Blood-Clad returns, mysterious and inexplicable!

As the King of Han had the Vulture’s corpse carried out, indicating that the murderer who killed Liu Yi had been brought to justice, he then had the Vulture’s corpse sent to the mass grave outside the city to be buried casually.

The case of the Left Left Sima Liu Yi’s murder thus ended.

Although this case involved many things behind the scenes.

For example, the mysterious person Lady Hu met at the theater, or where the Fire Rain Duke’s treasure that Liu Yi plotted to seize back then was hidden?

Some might want to delve into this matter.

But Su Xuan really had no interest.

His days returned to peace.

Refining elixirs, making medicine, cultivating, and occasionally the little Princess Princess Honglian would come to visit him, bringing him the latest news from outside the palace, although he possessed the King of Han’s token and could leave the palace at will.

However, after thinking about it, he gave up.

Although Ji Ji Wuye’s forces had infiltrated the deep palace, their power in the palace was ultimately not as strong as outside.

Earlier, with the Emerald Tiger incident, he had deeply offended Ji Ji Wuye.

The Liu Yi incident not only backfired on Ji Ji Wuye but also broke the sharpest knife in his hand, Mo Ya.

Judging from Ji Ji Wuye’s behavior of having Mo Ya attack him directly at that time, Ji Ji Wuye was already eager to get rid of him.

Although he didn't care about Ji Ji Wuye’s revenge, if he walked out of the palace, who knows how much trouble he would encounter?

It was better to just stay in the palace.

Improving his own strength was the hard truth.

Under heaven, where else could one find such a good place for cultivation? Although the Han State is weak, it is relative to the other few countries. After all, it is one of the Seven States, and the King of Han is still quite wealthy. The medicinal herbs he gave Su Xuan are hard to find among the common people.

Time passed quietly.

On this day, in Xinzheng City, it appeared extremely solemn, and there were few pedestrians on the streets.

A team of soldiers wearing white armor slowly returned from outside the city. The person in the lead was riding a tall horse, had white hair, and a handsome face, and what was even more amazing was that he was wearing a red garment.

The garment was bright red, like dripping... blood.

The White-Armored Army, the Blood-Clad Marquis!

During the Hundred Yue War, although Left Left Sima Liu Yi successfully plotted to murder Right Left Sima Li Kai and colluded with the Three Wolves of Broken Hair to slaughter the Fire Rain Manor, taking the opportunity to win the beauty.

But in that battle, for the Han State, there was only one true protagonist, and that was... the Blood-Clad Marquis, Bai Bai Yifei.

Before that battle, Bai Bai Yifei was still a handsome youth dressed in white, but after that battle, he abandoned the white clothes, wore red clothes, and his whole personality became withdrawn and cold.

However, no one cared about this.

What is important is that Bai Bai Yifei became famous in that battle. Since the Great General Ji Ji Wuye, the Han State had another new God of War.

Since the Hundred Yue War, his status in the military had risen, and later, he was in charge of the 100,000-strong army of the Han State, stationed at the border for a long time.

No one expected him to return to the court at this moment.

His return caused a great shock.

In the Zilan Pavilion.

Han Fei and the others gathered.

Although Su Xuan did not continue to participate in Liu Yi’s case, they still chose to get to the bottom of it.

After the Vulture died, Wei Zhuang had saved an old man from the Poison Scorpion Sect outside the city and knew that the other party was the former Right Left Sima, Li Kai. From Li Kai, he learned much of the truth about what happened back then.

It was almost exactly the same as what Su Xuan had described.

This made them curious about Su Xuan more and more.

If they knew the truth, it could be understood as knowing it from Li Kai, the person involved, but where did Su Xuan learn it from?

Out of curiosity, they asked Li Kai what he would do next.

The Vulture captured Li Kai, presumably recognizing Li Kai’s identity, wanting to explore the secret of the Fire Rain Duke’s treasure from Li Kai.

Now that the Vulture was dead, if Li Kai wanted to see Lady Hu, they could help Li Kai.

As a result, beyond their expectations, Li Kai chose to leave.

The reason was simple: his appearance had already broken Lady Hu’s peaceful life. He came to the Han State just to see how his old friend was doing. His old friend was safe, and he was already very happy. In his current state, he did not want to disturb his old friend further.

After learning Li Kai’s thoughts, Wei Zhuang, Han Fei, and the others were quite moved. In the end, they chose to respect Li Kai’s wishes and helped Li Kai leave Xinzheng City and the Han State.

As for where Li Kai would go after leaving, it was temporarily unknown.

And there was another thing that shocked them even more: shortly after Li Kai left, Lady Hu suddenly found the Zilan Pavilion.

She came to find her relatives.

She said she learned from someone that her daughter was in the Zilan Pavilion. Finally, it was Zi Nu who confirmed that Nongyu was Lady Hu’s daughter.

Mother and daughter reunited, which is a happy event.

But thinking that Nongyu’s father, Li Kai, had left the Han State earlier, his whereabouts unknown, and that father and daughter clearly had a chance to recognize each other at the time but did not, it inevitably made people sigh.

However, their sighs did not last long, because of the return of the Blood-Clad Marquis.

"The Snowy Blood-Clad Marquis!"

Zi Nu’s face rarely showed a bit of solemnity, and her calm words sounded, "In the Hundred Yue War years ago, his white clothes were dyed red, achieving his name as the Blood-Clad Marquis. On his hands, I don't know how much blood was stained."

"The Four Fierce Generals of the Night, he is the head!"

"He is the sharpest weapon in Ji Ji Wuye’s hand. Now that he has returned abruptly, it is not good news for us."

Han Fei also gradually became serious, "The Blood-Clad Marquis returning at such a time, although unexpected, is also a matter of reason if you think about it carefully."

"How so?" Zi Nu looked at Han Fei.

Wei Zhuang said, "Is it because of Su Xuan?"

"Not bad!" Han Fei said in a deep voice, "Su Xuan, this person, is extremely mysterious. Earlier, I also thought he was a liar pretending to be a god, but after experiencing so many things, I have changed my view of him."

"Not to mention whether the ability to summon wind and rain, and call gods and ghosts is true or false, just by his own strength, he brought down one of the Four Fierce Generals of the Night, Emerald Tiger, this person cannot be underestimated."

"In addition, in the case of Liu Yi’s murder, I still can't figure out how he knew those things?"

Those things about the Fire Rain Manor, except for those who experienced it personally back then, ordinary people could not know in such detail, especially since it included Liu Yi’s collusion with the Three Wolves of Broken Hair.

Unless Su Xuan was also a person who experienced it personally, but looking at his age, it really doesn't look like it.

This matter is extremely puzzling.
