Chapter 113 The person who took the blame is back
"Who is he? Which family does he belong to? When did such a person appear in Xinzheng?" The moment Han Fei saw Yang Chong clearly, these three questions emerged in his mind.
In Han Fei's eyes, Yang Chong was a heroic young man. If these alone were not enough to attract his attention, he became a disciple of Xunzi, and the people he interacted with were all mediocre. Even if Yang Chong was good-looking, it would not surprise Han Fei.
What really caught Han Fei's attention was Yang Chong's temperament. He was a guard who didn't look like a guard, and Hong Lian's strangeness seemed to be caused by him.
Han Fei looked at Yang Chong, and countless guesses flashed through his mind in an instant.
"Who is this?" Han Fei asked tentatively with a warm smile on his face.
"My name is Yang Chong, nice to meet you, Mr. Nine." Yang Chong bowed and gave his name directly. As for his official title? What is that?
"Yang Chong?" Han Fei was slightly stunned. He seemed to have heard of this name, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. Moreover, Xinzheng was South Korea, and there was no big Yang family. So his puzzled eyes fell on his sister Honglian.
Since he was brought by Honglian, there was no reason for Honglian not to know Yang Chong’s background.
"The commander of Sima Gate, I asked my father today to ask him to be my guard." Honglian muttered, but did not dare to look at Yang Chong.
Yang Chong did not push the soul-capturing technique to its full potential. After all, she was a princess of a country, and it was inevitable that someone in the palace would be able to see some clues. But Honglian's subconscious was still influenced by Yang Chong. Now she just thought that she liked Yang Chong, so she couldn't help but find fault with Yang Chong. This illusion made her unable to be willful in front of Yang Chong anymore.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong. I'm afraid it's not as simple as Commander Simamen." Han Fei's eyes fell on Yang Chong's hands. The packages one after another and Honglian's strangeness made him only half believe Honglian's words.
"Brother Han, we meet again." Just then, a carriage stopped beside Han Fei, the window was pushed open, and a face that Han Fei was unfamiliar with but familiar with appeared. It was Yan Dan, who was determined to leave Korea as soon as possible.
"Brother Yan?" Han Fei was also very surprised to see Yan Dan for the first time. Although he knew that Yan Dan was in Xinzheng last night and they both attended the Yibao Banquet at Qianlong Hall, he was in a hurry to leave at that time and did not have any conversation with Yan Dan. He never thought that they would meet again today.
But in Han Fei's sight, the smile on Yan Dan's face slowly froze, and then disappeared like snow in the sun. Not only was there no smile, but there was a hint of fear instead.
"Brother Han, I have something urgent to do today. If there is a chance in the future, we can meet again." Yan Dan closed the car window, and the carriage left without any hesitation.
"Huh?" Han Fei stared blankly at the departing carriage. What on earth had just happened?
Yan Dan is afraid? Am I seeing this right? Han Fei thought doubtfully. He believed that he was not seeing this wrong, but it was totally unreasonable.
Am I really that scary? Han Fei touched his face. It was still the same handsome face. How could it be so scary?
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Seeing this, Honglian moved closer to Han Fei. She felt that her brother was acting weird. Was it necessary for him to touch her face so carefully?
"Nothing, nothing, Honglian, let's go, we should go back." Han Fei took Honglian's wrist. Since he set foot on the border of South Korea, he has been hearing news from Xinzheng. He is determined to revitalize South Korea and has too many things to do. Now he needs to understand the specific situation inside and outside Xinzheng as soon as possible.
"Okay, okay." Honglian said helplessly.
"Huh..." Yan Dan, who was sitting in the carriage, looked through the rear window at Yang Chong's gradually blurred back and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
The shadow that Yang Chong left on him last night was too great. Now he only wanted to leave Korea as soon as possible and stay away from Yang Chong, so he packed his luggage and left in a hurry.
It was just that he met Han Fei on the way. He wanted to say hello to the ninth prince of Han, but he never expected that he saw Han Fei but not Yang Chong who was sitting opposite Han Fei.
"He is actually willing to stay with a little girl. What exactly is he trying to do in Korea?" Yan Dan pondered, and he was becoming more and more confused about Yang Chong, this 'enemy'. Would such a killing god really be willing to be ordinary?
"Korea is a troubled place, so I'd better leave as soon as possible." Yan Dan muttered to himself, very satisfied with his prompt decision. If he stayed in Xinzheng, who knows what would happen.
Korea is a weird place.
"I really don't want to leave like this."
While Yan Dan was lost in thought, Jing Ke, who was in the same carriage with him, stroked his sword. This was the first time he had to flee in a panic to avoid a person. He had been in such a panic once before, when the Qin army attacked the Wei State. But at that time, he was facing a hundred thousand Qin soldiers, and he had no other choice but to escape. A hundred thousand Qin soldiers were not something that one individual could contend with. But now, he was fleeing because of one person.
Such things made Jing Ke feel deeply frustrated.
"A real man should judge the situation and act accordingly. When faced with an impossible situation, he should put his life first." Yan Dan said after hearing Jing Ke's muttering. He said this to Jing Ke, and also to himself. "A real man? I don't want to be a real man." Jing Ke chuckled. He was not a man with a far-sighted mind like Yan Dan. He was just a wandering knight, open-minded and optimistic. All emotions came and went quickly. He was still sighing just now, but now he was thinking about how to practice martial arts so that he could defeat Yang Chong one day and get back the place he lost last night.
As the two men talked, the carriage headed towards the city gate and soon disappeared on the road from Xinzheng to Qin State.
With Han Fei's return, there will be a moon in the nights of Korea, and Korea will no longer be dominated by the night.
Some people who knew Han Fei thought that he would do something big in Xinzheng after he came back. After all, he had studied abroad for ten years and was a disciple of the Confucian Xunzi. It can be said that he had been sharpening his sword for ten years, but the blade had never been tested. Now that he has returned, how could he not test the sharpness of the sword?
But Han Fei's next move was beyond people's expectations. The Ninth Young Master, who had spent ten years honing his sword, did test his sword, but the place where he tested his sword was not in the court of Han, but in Zi Lan Xuan.
The ninth prince of Korea did nothing upon returning to Xinzheng and plunged headfirst into the gentle embrace of Zilanxuan. While he was immersed in that embrace, another official who was in charge of investigating the case of the ghost soldiers robbing pay was killed.
The successive killings of several officials put Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi in a dilemma, and finally the case fell on him.
In the previous episode in South Korea, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the mastermind behind the robbery was General Ji Wuye, but what good could that do? Without evidence, who would dare to say that the crime was committed by Ji Wuye's men?
Unfounded things may happen, but they will never happen to Ji Wuye, otherwise, after the story of unfounded things, there will be "Why did the king rebel?"
Just when Zhang Kaidi was at a loss, his grandson Zhang Liang introduced a man to him.
With no other choice, Zhang Kaidi could only go to Zilanxuan to look for Han Fei. After some mutual testing, Zhang Kaidi recommended Han Fei to Han Wangan to investigate the case of the ghost soldiers robbing pay. From then on, Han Fei officially stepped into the court of Han.
Han Fei's sword is indeed very sharp. The case that had made no progress before was quickly advanced in his hands. He first used water to dissolve gold to expose the mystery of the mysterious disappearance of gold on a rainy night, and then pointed the finger at the two uncles Wang who were responsible for escorting the military pay. In the end, he forced Ji Wuye to send Mo Ya to transform into ghost soldiers to kill the two idiots who could not handle the situation.
Ji Wuye took advantage of the situation to prove the existence of the ghost soldiers and closed the case. Han Wangan did not dare to force Ji Wuye, and Zhang Kaidi just wanted to get away. Therefore, these three people standing at the top of South Korea reached a tacit understanding and closed the case.
But closing the case was just their wishful thinking. Han Fei was the one who wanted to revitalize Korea. If he compromised, then he, Han Fei, was just a man with a little cleverness. How could he take on the responsibility of the country and people of Korea? So he had to make the impossible possible. He wanted to get back the 100,000 taels of gold and leave Ji Wuye speechless.
In Zilanxuan, Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu listened to Han Fei's talk with admiration in their eyes.
"I'm going to the General's Mansion, but this time I need Brother Wei Zhuang's help." Han Fei said to Wei Zhuang with a smile, holding up his wine glass.
"Are you afraid that Ji Wuye will kill you directly?" Wei Zhuang asked with friendly sarcasm.
"Of course I'm afraid. I'm just a weak scholar who can't even tie a chicken." Han Fei was still very thick-skinned.
"Then I'll accompany you and see what you're going to do." Wei Zhuang said. Han Fei was the partner he chose, and he wanted to see with his own eyes whether Han Fei was worthy of being his partner.
"I shouldn't let you down." Han Fei laughed, his eyes sparkling with wisdom.
Just as Han Fei and Wei Zhuang were walking out of the room accompanied by Zi Nu, they heard a melodious sound of a piano coming from inside when they passed by a door.
"What a good zither! There are only a few zithers as good as this one even in the Jixia Academy. I never thought that there is such a fairy in Zi Lan Xuan." Han Fei stopped and listened to the sound of the zither coming from the room. Although it was vague, it added a bit of ethereal meaning.
"You might as well guess who he is." Seeing Han Fei's intoxicated look, Zi Nu felt like playing a little mischief.
"I've heard that there's a zither player in Zi Lan Xuan named Nong Yu. I guess the person playing the zither must be Miss Nong Yu." Han Fei said, using his talent for reasoning.
"Do you think he is right?" Zi Nu looked at Wei Zhuang.
"Do you think he is right?" Wei Zhuang did not answer, but asked back.
"What are you talking about? Let's go, let's go. I will find the answer myself tomorrow." Han Fei suppressed his curiosity. He had more important things to do tonight.
The footsteps finally disappeared in the corridor, but Zi Nu, who returned, did not go back to her own room, but pushed open the door of Nong Yu's room.
