Night fell quietly, and on the streets of Xinzheng North City, the city defense troops were on guard at all levels. Group after group of soldiers strictly controlled the people entering and exiting, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Suddenly, a Korean soldier riding a war horse broke into the patrolling city defense troops, whispered a few words to the captains of those teams, and took out a token, and then these city defense troops seemed to have Those who have practiced generally begin to retreat.
This huge northern city suddenly fell into deathly silence. Except for the area around the Han Palace and the General's Mansion, not a single Korean soldier was seen, which looked particularly mysterious in the hazy night.
General's Mansion
This mansion, which is as strong as a fortress, has been strengthened tonight, and heavy armored Korean soldiers in groups of five can be seen patrolling back and forth with weapons in hand.
In the main hall, Ji Wuye held the Tiger Head Agate Jue worth two thousand gold and poured a glass of Apricot Blossom White, the secret wine that Jade Tiger purchased from Zhao Kingdom.
This is a secret wine that only the Zhao royal family has, and will only be rewarded to ministers at certain special moments.
But since there are craftsmen who make wine, soldiers who transport, and ministers who receive rewards, there are openings for breakthroughs, such as Guo Kai, the favorite minister of King Zhao Yan.
As a favorite of King Zhao Yan, Guo Kai was often rewarded with countless gold, jade and jewels, including the secret wine "Xinghuabai". On the pretext of looking for fine wine for the Korean general Ji Wuye, Jade Tiger obtained two jars of "apricot blossom white" from Guo Kai at the price of five hundred gold per jar and dedicated them to Ji Wuye.
"How are your arrangements over there? My people have withdrawn all the patrol forces in Beicheng except the palace and my general's palace." Ji Wuye gently shook the wine that was filled with the aroma of apricot flowers. , looked towards the window.
The Emerald Tiger on the side was stunned for a moment, and then followed Ji Wuye's line of sight.
A figure stood by the window. The shadow of the window blocked his figure, but with the moonlight, a man wearing red clothes and long silver-white hair could be vaguely seen.
"I personally planted a poison in his body. Even if he escapes from the cage, he is just a dog with a chain around his neck at all times. Only tigers and leopards can eat their masters, and they will never be dogs."
"The majestic Red-browed Dragon Snake, who caused us a lot of trouble back then and killed so many of our old brothers, is now being manipulated by us."
Ji Wuye took a sip, and the corners of his drooping mouth raised slightly. He didn't know whether he was happy for the wine or for something else.
But this joy did not last long, not even until he drank the glass of wine.
"General, something bad is happening!"
A black crow flew into the main hall, and a piece of black feathers fell to the ground. There was a black figure beside him, which was Ji Wuye's confidant, Mo Crow.
"Tianze and his party did not go to the Prince's Mansion!"
The blood-red figure at the window frowned slightly and turned to look at Mo Ya who was kneeling on the ground: "Where has he gone?"
"He went straight to Zhang Ji's mansion, which was guarded by a net!"
Ji Wuye's face was gloomy, his finger bones were cracking, and a crack had been created in the Tiger Head Agate Lord in his hand.
The wine dripped down, just like the cold sweat on his back at the moment.
"All of Falcon Team..."
"General."
Bai Yifei interrupted Ji Wuye's instructions, which made Ji Wuye a little unhappy.
If it had been someone else, he would have raised his eight-foot sword and struck forward, but Bai Yifei was someone else.
As one of the four ferocious generals in Ye Mu, whether it is because of his brains or the hundred thousand troops in his hands, his position is the most unshakable in Ye Mu, so even Ji Wuye's malicious intentions rarely conflict with him head-on.
The most important thing is that he and Ji Wuye have a common purpose. Even if this purpose is likely to turn them against each other in the end, at the moment, they must cooperate.
Bai Yifei stood in a dark corner and laughed disapprovingly: "This may not be bad news."
Ji Wuye didn't understand what Bai Yifei meant, but he didn't continue to ask, because Bai Yifei had such a character. He wouldn't do too much, and he wouldn't speak too clearly. He would always hit the mark, unless it was him. Want to say.
"Have you noticed, General, that Luo Wang seems to be a little too quiet in Xinzheng recently?"
Bai Yifei walked out of the shadows and sat in front of the desk. The Emerald Tiger helped him pour a bottle of Apricot Blossom White in a flattering manner. Bai Yifei took a sip unhurriedly, and the burning sensation in Zhao Guo's fine wine flowed from his throat into his belly, making his body tremble.
"The woman named Jing Salamander has not appeared for a long time." Bai Yifei narrowed his blood-red eyes and looked at Ji Wuye, "Coinclothes Guest's information, most of Luo Sheng's forces in South Korea withdrew to the Qin State. And the Wei State The snare over there is active. On the one hand, it is staring at Lord Xinling, and on the other hand, it seems to be investigating something."
"Is the Qin army going east again to attack Wei?" Although Ji Wuye is an arrogant, domineering and beauty-loving official, he has a strong military intuition, "No, that's not right. If Qin wants to attack Wei, it will definitely Sending envoys to South Korea to ask for passage is at least asking South Korea not to interfere."
"No, that's not right! Although that old guy from Kaifangdi is hateful, the plan he advocates to implement to weaken Qin should make Qin unable to move eastward in the next few years."
"Coiled Clothes Guest is still investigating, but there seems to be a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air that has spread all over the countries. There is a lot of movement in the three countries of Zhao, Wei, Chu, and even the small sparrow-like country of Weiguo. .”
Bai Yifei placed the wine bottle in front of the Emerald Tiger and motioned for him to refill the wine. This insulting behavior of treating the Emerald Tiger as a servant did not anger the Emerald Tiger. Instead, he lowered his head and filled up the wine respectfully.
Bai Yifei sneered and looked at the Emerald Tiger with even more disdain: "Why don't we use Tianze to test it."
"If Luo Wang's attitude is tough and he is held accountable, then we should wait until the incident in the Prince's Mansion is over and hand over the heads of Tianze and others to them; if Luo Wang is silent or his attitude is not tough enough, then we should consider how to Let every inch of South Korea truly become the territory of night.”
Bai Yifei's blood-red eyes flashed with a fierce look, and his voice revealed obvious expectations.
Obviously he would rather see the latter happen.

PS1: Good news, my mother has recovered and my father’s symptoms are much better.
The bad news is that my positive condition returned, and it was worse than last time. I was completely paralyzed in bed.
PS2: The sentence about Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei having the same purpose and becoming enemies in the future is a narration in the official novel of Tianxing Jiuge. It is obviously a hidden pit dug by the screenwriter. I have never read the official novel and only watched the anime. There was no way to discover this.
