Chapter 160 They were once husband and wife
Zi Lan Xuan, Han Fei looked at the guest who suddenly appeared, the smile on his face was a little stiff, he realized that he was in trouble, this sudden visitor was not just a guest, but a huge trouble.
However, this guest was interesting. Han Fei saw some kind of similar aura from that person. The two of them had common topics and the feeling that they could talk freely was something he had never experienced even when he was studying in Qi State.
But the pleasure is only temporary, what about the trouble that follows?
"The trouble we are in this time may be a bit big." Han Fei said to Wei Zhuang beside him.
"Aren't you the biggest trouble?" Wei Zhuang said. When his senior brother Gai Nie came here, the trouble had already appeared, just like after Han Fei returned to Xinzheng. It can even be said that the current trouble was caused by Han Fei. After all, if there was no Han Fei, King Zheng of Qin was far away in Xianyang and would not have appeared here. In the final analysis, the source of the trouble still lies with Han Fei.
"Brother Wei Zhuang, this is a blatant slander. You don't have the honesty of your senior brother at all." Han Fei covered his forehead exaggeratedly. He was very good at finding joy in adversity. Honglian liked to be silly and happy, but he, as an elder brother, liked to be optimistic.
Wei Zhuang just glanced at Han Fei coldly without answering. At the moment, Han Fei had retreated to third place in his eyes, because his senior brother and the person chosen by his senior brother were already here. As for Han Fei? He was already an old friend.
"We need to send Master Shang away safely now." Han Fei didn't mind Wei Zhuang's coldness. Having been together for so long, he naturally knew Wei Zhuang's temperament.
"Before sending them away, we should first determine the identity of the possible enemies. Only in this way can we make plans before taking action, instead of sending them out of Xinzheng in a hurry. If we cannot solve the possible enemies, even if we send them out of Xinzheng safely, they may not be able to leave Korea safely." Wei Zhuang said.
Wei Zhuang not only didn't care about the safety of the so-called Master Shang, he even had the urge to take the opportunity to kill him. But now the fate of his senior brother and Master Shang were tied together, so he had no choice but to take it seriously.
"No matter who the enemies from Qin are, I know that as soon as they come to Xinzheng, they will have to deal with another force, and that person will definitely know who the enemies from Qin are." Han Fei said.
In Xinzheng, the real local tyrant is Ye Mu. In this regard, no other force can compare with him. If there are really enemies from the Qin State who want to attack Master Shang, whether Ye Mu intervenes or not, they will be the first to discover the clues. What's more coincidental is that they happen to have people among Ye Mu.
"Are you talking about Yang Chong?" Wei Zhuang asked.
"Yes, it is him. Now he is our ally." Han Fei said with a smile.
"He and you are allies in the matter of destroying Ji Wuye, but not necessarily in other matters. He has ambitions to rule the world, so how do you know he won't take action against Master Shang? By the time Yemu hasn't found out anything, you will have revealed all your secrets." Wei Zhuang said.
Wei Zhuang did not completely trust Yang Chong, although he knew Yang Chong earlier than Han Fei, but it was precisely because of this that he understood Yang Chong better. He knew that although Yang Chong was very similar to Han Fei and both of them were relatively "insolent" in speaking, unlike Han Fei who only said some of his words, Yang Chong could do anything.
A pure madman is not scary, but if this madman has mastered almost terrifying martial arts, then this madman is truly terrifying.
"Will he really do that? I don't think he is a bad person." Han Fei hesitated. Although he didn't have a good impression of Yang Chong because of Hong Lian, his intuition told him that Yang Chong was not a person like Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei. He was very confident in his intuition, just like when he saw Wei Zhuang, he thought at first sight that Wei Zhuang could become his good friend.
"I don't know if he is a bad guy, but I know he is definitely not as naive as you." Wei Zhuang said coldly. This was related to the life and death of his senior brother, so he had to be cautious. Yang Chong was not someone he could trust completely.
"It is better to send Master Shang out of the city as soon as possible." Han Fei said.
"I'm afraid it's too late." Zi Nu appeared. Normally, Yang Chong should have been with her at this time, but at this time, Zi Nu was alone. Tonight, Yang Chong did not appear in Zi Lan Xuan.
Since Yang Chong is not in Zilanxuan, where is Yang Chong now? Thinking of Zi Nu's words, Han Fei had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Nongyu brought back a piece of news from Yang Mansion. At dusk today, Ji Wuye invited Yang Chong to the General's Mansion, and Yang Chong has not returned until now." Zi Nu said, with worry between her brows.
"What does Ji Wuye ask him to do at this moment?" Wei Zhuang also became more solemn. The thing he was most worried about was probably about to happen.
"Maybe it's just an ordinary visit?" Han Fei hesitated, but he also felt that this reason seemed too far-fetched.
"Yang Chong is now in charge of Xinzheng's internal and external defense. Except for the royal palace, the entire Xinzheng army is under his command. If Ji Wuye wants to blockade the entire city, he will need Yang Chong's help." Wei Zhuang analyzed that if Yang Chong really wanted to take action, it would not be easy for Master Shang to leave the city safely.
"Why did he do that?" Han Fei tried to analyze Yang Chong's logic. Only in this way could he find the right remedy. If Yang Chong and Ji Wuye really cooperated on this matter, they would not be able to stop them with their strength.
"Why are you looking at me? You can't guess what he's thinking, so how could I guess it?" When Zi Nu saw that Han Fei and Wei Zhuang's eyes turned to her, her face became serious, but she felt more helpless.
Han Fei wanted to say something, but Wei Zhuang suddenly stood in front of him.
"What..." Han Fei was about to ask, only to see Wei Zhuang's gaze turned to the roof.
"Someone is here." Wei Zhuang dodged and grabbed the shark-tooth sword and rushed out of the window.
Seeing this, Zi Nu followed closely. Now there was an extra person in Zi Lan Xuan who could explode at any time, so she could not afford to be careless.
Seeing this, Han Fei could only run out of the room and climb up to the roof via the stairs from another place, as he didn't know how to perform Qinggong.
As Wei Zhuang stood firmly on the roof, he saw a graceful figure in front of him. In terms of gracefulness, she was not inferior to Zi Nu, especially with her leather armor and silver face, which added a bit of charm. However, Wei Zhuang had no time to appreciate the grace of the person in front of him, because he already knew her identity: Jing Wei, Luowang's number one killer.
Wei Zhuang had fought with Yanri before. At that time, Yanri had fought with Hei Bai Xuan Jian and both were injured. Only then could he and his senior brother Gai Nie join forces to severely injure Yanri. If he were to face the peak Yanri, it would still be unknown whether he and his senior brother Zongheng could defeat Yanri by joining forces. This shows the horror of Luowang's first-class killer.
It was also at that time that he met Jing Niu, who was also a Luowang assassin. Although the two had not fought directly, the words "Luowang Tianzi First Class" were enough to prove Jing Niu's strength. Although more than two years had passed since the incident at Weijiazhuang, and Wei Zhuang's own strength had improved greatly in the past two years, even so, he was not sure of winning against a Luowang Tianzi First Class assassin.
Especially if Luowang’s target is really Master Shang, then given Master Shang’s identity, would Luowang really only send out one Luowang’s top-ranking killer?
Wei Zhuang already felt a heavy pressure, not because of Luowang's top assassin, but because it concerned his senior brother.
"Who is she?" Wei Zhuang's expression caught Zi Nu's eyes. She knew Wei Zhuang quite well and was able to get some information from his reaction. Wei Zhuang recognized the woman in leather armor and silver face in front of him.
"Luowang's top-ranked killer Jingwei." Wei Zhuang said, his hand already tightly gripping the hilt of the shark-tooth sword, ready to attack at any time.
"Is there a woman among Luowang's top killers?" Zi Nu was quite surprised. Although there was no shortage of female masters in the martial arts world, there were very few top female masters. She never thought that she would meet one tonight.
"This is not a place you should set foot in." Wei Zhuang ignored Zi Nu and approached Jing Wei.
"I'm just looking for someone." Jingwei said. According to Luowang's intelligence, Qin Wang Zheng's personal bodyguard Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang in front of him were both disciples of Guiguzi. Although they were rivals because of the special rules of the Zongheng family, their rivals could also be confidants. Gai Nie escorted Qin Wang Zheng to Xinzheng, and the only place he could stay was Zilanxuan where Wei Zhuang lived.
"The person you are looking for is not here." Wei Zhuang denied directly.
"I'm here to find Master Shang on the orders of Queen Mother Zhao," Jingwei said.
Wei Zhuang was stunned when he heard this. Jing Wei actually knew the name of Master Shang.
If Jingwei said that he came for King Zheng of Qin, Wei Zhuang would not be surprised at all. However, the name Shang Gongzi was the name King Zheng of Qin used when he was a child in Zhao State. In Qin State, no one except King Zheng of Qin's closest relatives would know this name. This means that Jingwei was most likely really following the orders of King Zheng of Qin's biological mother, Queen Dowager Zhao.
But this is just a possibility, not a certainty, because Wei Zhuang dared not gamble anymore, so he could only deny it.
"I know Master Shang is here. I can choose not to see him, but I will stay nearby. If you encounter the enemy, you can find me. We have the same goal." Jingwei said, and without further entanglement, he left and disappeared into the night.
"Look at that back figure, it's actually a woman?" Only then did Han Fei climb onto the roof, but he could only see Jingwei's back.
"What are you doing here?" Wei Zhuang looked at the embarrassed Han Fei and asked. A place like the roof is not something that everyone can walk on as if it were flat ground.
"Come and help." Han Fei replied confidently.
"Using Yang Chong's words, it's almost like sending one's head away." Wei Zhuang said, but his heart couldn't help but move. The sudden appearance of Jingwei has a close relationship with Yang Chong. Is there any mystery in it that can be used?
"That's what you said." Han Fei's face was embarrassed and he was a little unconvinced, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Wei Zhuang said.
Wei Zhuang was too lazy to pay attention to Han Fei and just jumped down.
"Miss Zinu, can you give me a hand?" Han Fei looked around and felt dizzy. The roof of Zilanxuan was a bit high!
"Mr. Nine, there shouldn't be any physical contact between men and women. Since you can get up here, you can naturally get down here. Just go down slowly by yourself." Zi Nu smiled jokingly and also jumped off the roof. At the moment of falling, she turned around, went through the window and stood steadily on the floor in the room.
When Han Fei returned to the room again, his legs were already trembling. Going down from the roof was even harder than going up.
"Who is that woman?" Han Fei eased the violent beating of his heart and asked what he cared about most.
"She is Luowang's top-notch assassin Jingwei. She said that she came here on the orders of the Queen Mother Zhao of Qin to protect Master Shang. However, whether this is true or not remains to be discussed." Zi Nu explained for Wei Zhuang.
"That woman is actually Luowang's top killer?" Han Fei was stunned. Among Luowang's top killers, there is actually a woman? Looking at the back of the woman, she should be a beauty. Beauty and killer, such a combination is really interesting.
"Since the first Luowang Tianzi first-class killer has appeared, the second and third should not be far away. However, if Jingwei is a friend, that would be the best. Maybe things will take a bigger turn for the better. If she is an enemy, that would be even easier. In Xinzheng, we don't need to take action against her. Someone will take her down." Wei Zhuang analyzed.
"I understand what you mean by 'friend', but what about 'enemy'? If she is our enemy, why would things become easier? Why would anyone take the initiative to deal with her? Although I have never seen the martial arts of Luowang's top killer, since they have created a great reputation among the seven countries, their martial arts must be very strong, and should not be comparable to someone like Tianze. How can such a person in Xinzheng dare to say that he can take her down?" Han Fei asked puzzled.
"Yes, after all, not everyone has the same martial arts as Yang Chong." Zi Nu was also very confused.
“Of course it’s impossible for everyone to have the same martial arts as Yang Chong, but coincidentally, this person is Yang Chong,” Wei Zhuang said.
"Would Yang Chong attack Jingwei? Why?" Han Fei asked, but Zi Nu already had a bad feeling.
"They were once husband and wife. Is this reason enough?" Wei Zhuang said, but the scene at Weijiazhuang emerged in his mind. At that time, Yang Chong did call Jingwei 'wife'.
"Huh? Husband and wife, Luowang's top killer and Yang Chong were once husband and wife?" Han Fei's eyes widened, this thing was a bit outrageous!
"He has been married?" Zi Nu also said in disbelief, and her mood was more complicated than Han Fei's. Han Fei was just shocked, but she was different. At this moment, the Jing Wei she had just seen appeared in Zi Nu's mind.
She is also a very beautiful woman!
