Chapter 168 Undercurrent

Chapter 168 Undercurrent
In the dense forest outside Xinzheng City, Tianze looked at the good horse lying on the ground foaming at the mouth, without saying a word.

The Corpse-Driving Demon and the King of Poisons sat silently under the tree.

More than a dozen experts from the Qi Jue Tang were on guard all around.

Tian Mi walked out of the woods slowly, wearing high heels and taking elegant steps.

"But the Red Eyebrow Dragon Snake?"

Tianze had already noticed Tian Mi approaching, "Did Cheng Jiao ask you to pick him up?"

Tian Mi smiled and said, "It was the Master who asked us to come."

After saying that, Tian Mi clapped her hands, and dozens of farm disciples, or to be more precise, disciples of the Four Yue Hall, walked into the dense forest, followed by a dozen carriages.

Tianze narrowed his pupils. He didn't expect that Cheng Jiao could find so many people. Judging from their clothes, they should be disciples from farming families.

He did not act rashly. Although he wondered why the pursuers were so slow and so few in number, what he was most concerned about now was how to take away and hide the wealth in a short period of time.

"Where to go?"

Tian Mi turned her back, looking charming.

"The base of the Farmer's Qianlongtang."

Tianze was skilled and courageous. He didn't believe that there would be top-notch experts from the farming family in Xinzheng. He followed steadily with the Hundred Poison King and the Corpse Exorcist.

When the disciples of Qi Jue Tang saw the farmer's disciple coming, they handed over the carriage and disappeared into the dense forest.

Tian Mi looked at the ten carts full of wealth. It seemed like a lot, but in fact it was only worth about 30,000 to 40,000 gold coins. It was also the reward that Cheng Jiao paid to Situ Wanli for helping her to the position.

But now Tianze needs to keep this money for a while and withdraw it when the time is right. This is one of Cheng Jiao's requirements.

Tianze, the scapegoat for Liusha and Yemu, looked at the wealth in the ten large carriages and felt that he could do great things again. The dream of restoring the country seemed to be within reach.

The King of Hundred Poisons and the Corpse-Driving Demon are not as optimistic as Tianze. If there are really hundreds of thousands of gold coins, can Tianze grasp them with his ability?

Following the path through the dense forest, after many twists and turns, we arrived at a quiet farmyard.

The square house covers an area of ​​more than ten acres and has eight or nine thatched houses.

After Tian Mi led Tianze there, she smiled and told the farmer's disciples to leave.

"The task that the young master ordered the farmers to do has been completed. Please do as you please next, Lord Chimei."

After saying that, he left without waiting for Tianze to ask any questions.

Leaving behind the confused Tianze, and the Poison King and the Corpse-Driving Demon looking at each other in bewilderment.

Is it that simple? No ambush, surveillance, or anything like that?

The more this happened, the more pressure the King of Hundred Poisons and the Corpse-Driving Demon felt, and the more afraid they became of Cheng Jiao.

It was as if he had become a Monkey King, unable to escape from Tathagata's Five Finger Mountain.

Tianze was silent for a moment.

"Rest here for three hours. I'll go out for a while. You wait here."

He is not a man who will sit and wait for death. He has his own methods. Now the situation is strange. Cheng Jiao's methods make him extremely passive, forcing him to take action in advance.

Han Fei came out of the palace and looked at the direction of Jubao Pavilion in the royal city. He saw the faint glow of fire and sighed.

Just as he had expected, his father had no intention of eradicating the Nightfall.

It is true that Ye Mu has been rooted in Korea for a long time and has a huge influence. But it is not invulnerable. If the father could make up his mind about the Jubao Pavilion incident, why would he choose to cooperate with Cheng Jiao to plot against the wealth of Jubao Pavilion?

Unfortunately, his father still thinks that everything is under control and is still playing tricks of checks and balances.

Han Fei was lost in thought all the way, and unknowingly came to the vicinity of the burning Jubao Pavilion.

"Mr. Nine, are you here to investigate a case?"

The Bloody Marquis walked up to Han Fei without any haste. Han Fei looked at him quietly and said, "I am under the order of my father to investigate the remnants of the Baiyue people causing chaos in the royal city."

After saying this, Han Fei realized that something was strange. No one was around to put out the fire.

"My Lord, why don't you put out the fire?"

"Nineth Master, follow me and you will know."

Han Fei followed behind the Blood-Robed Marquis and turned a corner when he saw an interesting scene.

Hundreds of city guards surrounded dozens of nobles who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had angry faces, but did not dare to take action. Some of them looked very familiar to Han Fei, as they were his uncles and cousins ​​from the same clan.

"Master Hou, what is this?"

"The nobles who found the Treasure Pavilion on fire came to cause trouble."

Han Fei understood, it was the same as he thought.

"Then why surround them?"

Marquis Xueyi looked at Han Fei and said, "Be careful of any accidents."

Han Fei smiled in his heart, thinking that he wanted to let all the nobles in Xinzheng know that Jubao Pavilion had been robbed.

Among the surrounded nobles, someone discovered Han Fei.

"Master Sikou, the king previously ordered you to investigate the case of the remnants of the Baiyue people kidnapping the crown prince. Not only did you fail to capture Tianze, but you allowed Tianze to rob the Jubao Pavilion tonight! You are derelict of your duty! You are derelict of your duty!"

As people began to denounce Han Fei, the besieged nobles had someone to vent their anger on, and they began to attack Han Fei personally.

Han Fei was helpless, and suddenly realized that this might be the Bloody Marquis' trick. He simply pretended not to hear the condemnation of these nobles. He did not pity these nobles. The money they put into the Treasure Pavilion was all stained with human blood. I don't know how many people they squeezed to get so much money.

He was ready to use most of the gold coins to help the people who were still being exploited by these nobles. On the other hand, he had a deeper consideration, to appease the people in South Korea.

There was silence in Lanxiu Villa, with more than a dozen torches burning.

Zhang Liang got off the carriage and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Jingwei, Zhang Liang's mission has been completed. I will take my leave now."

Jingwei nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang Liang, for escorting us out of the city."

"Miss Jingwei is being polite. It's all thanks to your brother and Master Chengjiao's foresight. Zifang is just following the plan, which is nothing."

Jingwei watched Zhang Liang leave with the carriage, then turned and entered Lanxiu Villa.

A dozen Xianyang palace guards were standing around, with hundreds of money boxes on the ground. Yan Lingji directed Wushuang to move to Lanxiu Villa without using anyone else's help.

When the emerald tiger was presented to Cheng Jiao at Lanxiu Villa, a beautiful maid named Xiu'er was also given to Cheng Jiao. She was standing there trembling with fear.

Jingwei walked quietly to the uneasy Xiu'er.

"Don't be afraid. The Master has already told me about your situation. I am Jingwei, and that person just now was Yan Lingji. Now that we are done here, you can come with me to Zilanxuan to meet the Master."

Xiu'er was moved to tears and breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of being silenced just now, as she had seen such things before.

"Thank you Sister Jingyu."

Jingwei smiled, making Xiuer feel that she must be a gentle older sister.

Except for Yan Lingji, no one here knows that she was once a killer and a top martial arts master who is no less powerful than the Mohist leader, the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

Zhang Liang drove his carriage, but did not return to the city. Instead, he went to the place where the Qin envoys were greeted, where he waited for his grandfather's arrival.

Looking at the dark and terrifying mountains, he was thinking whether Han Fei could take this opportunity to make Liusha stronger and lead South Korea to prosperity.

He felt the bumps of the carriage and the twists and turns of the path; his brother was destined to walk on a road full of dangers.
