Chapter 47: Fire chaos in the palace
"He..."
Hearing Ji Ji Wuye’s recommendation, the King of Han did not immediately agree, but hesitated.
Seeing the King of Han hesitate, Ji Ji Wuye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He had already said that the fire in the city was the work of Hundred Yue witches.
To deal with witches, one must use divine and ghostly arts.
Counting all the people in Xinzheng City, only Su Xuan is good at such arts. If the King of Han wants to solve the trouble brought by the Hundred Yue witches, the best way is to let Su Xuan take action.
Earlier, the Ghost Soldier case, the ghost god claiming lives, and Liu Yi’s death were all solved by Su Xuan’s action.
At this time, trouble appeared in the city, and it should be left to Su Xuan to solve. He didn't understand what the King of Han was hesitating about. ===== CHAPTER 77 =====
The King of Han’s hesitation was indeed reasonable.
The main reason was that Su Xuan had refined another furnace of elixirs for him recently, and the effect of this furnace of elixirs was really too good.
This made him realize that Mr. Su’s true specialty is still the art of refining elixirs and making medicine.
It’s fine for him to refine elixirs and make medicine in the palace, there is really no need for him to leave the palace.
Mo Ya’s interception, he still has lingering fears when thinking about it.
Therefore, even though the reason given by Ji Ji Wuye was good, the King of Han still hesitated.
After some consideration, the King of Han said, "According to the Great General, there were people who understood military strategy directing the fire last night. This is a premeditated revenge. The Great General can first clarify the clues of this matter. If by then, it is really impossible to deal with the Hundred Yue witches, I can let Mr. Su take action."
"Yes!"
Hearing the King of Han’s reply, Ji Ji Wuye was inevitably disappointed.
He couldn't help but think of some of Bai Bai Yifei’s suggestions.
Since the King of Han no longer favors him as he did in the past, listens to others’ words, and even becomes an accomplice to others, then such a king, continuing to keep him, has no value for them.
The Crown Prince is getting older. If he doesn't want to repeat the old events of King King Xiaowen of Qin, he should ascend to the throne sooner.
King King Xiaowen of Qin was the son of King King Zhaowang of Qin, and he was the Crown Prince for decades. He finally waited until King King Zhaowang of Qin died, finished the one-year mourning period, and ascended to the throne for only three days before dying suddenly, which couldn't help but make people laugh.
The main reason was because King King Zhaowang of Qin lived too long, and coupled with King King Xiaowen of Qin’s own body, he was forcibly worn to death.
"Let the Crown Prince succeed to the throne?"
Ji Ji Wuye whispered in his heart.
At the beginning, Su Xuan appeared by the King of Han’s side and was favored by the King of Han. Ji Ji Wuye was extremely wary, the reason being that Su Xuan’s existence might take away part of the holy favor belonging to the King of Han.
Although the Night is powerful now, it has not reached the point where it can ignore the King of Han and completely control everything in the Han State.
Even if the King of Han has some scruples about him because he is in charge of the army, it does not mean he is completely obedient to him.
Since the King of Han is unkind and listens to the words of wandering sorcerers, then for the sake of the Han State, he can only choose to change a King of Han and let the young and strong Crown Prince ascend to the throne.
As for whether this idea is rebellious?
Ji Ji Wuye said that he had never cared about these things.
After leaving the palace, Ji Ji Wuye passed down the King of Han’s order, urging his subordinates to step up the investigation of the whereabouts of the Hundred Yue remnants and find the mastermind behind the scenes.
As for whether they can find them? He knows it in his heart!
Because the so-called Hundred Yue remnants were released by him in the first place.
On this day, at night.
Because the matter of the Hundred Yue remnants causing trouble had not yet ended.
After a morning court meeting, in the evening, in the main hall of the palace, a rare second court meeting was held.
At the court meeting, the King of Han continued to urge the Great General Ji Ji Wuye to search for the whereabouts of the Hundred Yue remnants, and must find the mastermind behind the scenes, and cannot let them go unpunished.
This statement seems to have no problem.
But in fact, it revealed the fact that the King of Han was panicked.
As long as the Hundred Yue remnants were not brought to justice for a day, he would not be able to eat or sleep in peace.
Many years ago, the Han State and the Chu State joined forces to conquer Hundred Yue. Although the Han State won, that battle ultimately left a lot of influence. At least, the King of Han did not want the Hundred Yue remnants to make a comeback.
Just as the court meeting was in full swing.
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded abruptly.
"It really is... lively!"
Everyone heard this voice, and their expressions condensed at the same time.
Afterward, they looked at the roof beam of the main hall. I saw that on the thick roof beam, a charming figure was sitting on her side. The other party was extremely beautiful, and at this moment, she was looking down at everyone with a playful look.
The King of Han looked up at this woman who appeared abruptly and frowned slightly.
Ji Ji Wuye also looked at the woman, his voice cold, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the forbidden palace?"
"Who am I?" The woman’s mouth curled slightly, "Aren't you always looking for us?"
Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi immediately guessed the other party’s identity, "You are... Hundred Yue people!"
As soon as this was said, the King of Han’s face changed immediately.
And what made him horrified was the woman’s next words, "My master asked me to bring a message to everyone. Last night’s matter was just a beginning. The real revenge has just begun!"
"As for who my master is?" The woman paused and said four words, "Red-Eyebrow... Dragon and Snake!"
"!!!"
The King of Han’s eyes widened, his face showing horror, clearly thinking of some extremely terrifying past events. His body couldn't help but stumble backward, looking at the woman with fear, "Red-Eyebrow Dragon and Snake..."
"Hmph!" Ji Ji Wuye seemed to have expected all this, looking at the panicked King of Han, and smiled coldly.
"Tian Ze!" I don't know who it was, but they said the real name of the Red-Eyebrow Dragon and Snake.
"Imperial Guard, where is the Imperial Guard?"
The King of Han finally remembered his identity, retreating while pointing at the woman in front of him, shouting sternly.
Suddenly, outside the main hall, footsteps echoed, and countless imperial guards rushed in from outside the hall, and dense arrows shot toward the beautiful woman with a hiss.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
The sound of breaking through the air echoed, the woman did not show any fear, smiled faintly, pulled out a crimson hairpin from her hair with both hands, danced the hairpin between her palms, her body leaped gracefully, suddenly holding the hairpin and pointing to one side, suddenly, a mysterious pattern appeared on her palm, like a shield, blocking all the arrows shot at her, and then the pattern disappeared, turned into flames, burned the arrows to ashes, and pressed toward the imperial guards holding bows.
The screams stopped abruptly—
As several imperial guards fell to the ground, the woman’s figure appeared beside the other imperial guards again, with flames in her hands and feet, one imperial guard after another fell to the ground, either seriously injured or died on the spot.
Finally, the woman’s figure turned into an afterimage, flying around everyone. In an instant, boundless flames rose from nowhere, condensing into a huge fire ring, circling everyone in it. The flames were raging, the temperature was scorching, and the King of Han, Zhang Kaidi, and others had sweat on their foreheads, looking at this god-like and ghost-like scene with horror.
Swish!
The raging fire burned, circling everyone in it, making it difficult to escape. The woman’s figure appeared at the hall door, with her back to everyone, and a look of disdain curled on her mouth.
The so-called Han State monarchs and ministers are nothing more than this.
Just as she broke into the palace, made a big fuss, and was about to retreat calmly.
A violent wind blew over, layer upon layer, blocking her way.
"The main hall of the palace is not a place where you can run wild at will!"
The calm voice reached the woman’s ears, and the woman’s face changed slightly. ===== CHAPTER 78 =====
