Chapter 170 Iron Blood Alliance

Cheng Jiao knew that Zi Nu and Li Wu had a disagreement, so this matter had to be dealt with slowly.

Zi Nu, Li Wu and Jing Wei are still in the process of getting used to each other, trying to accept each other.

If I were to flirt with other women in front of them at this time, I'm afraid there would be a fire in my backyard.

In order to have a happy ending in the future, Cheng Jiao decided to do this in private.
"Just kidding. Well, in order for you to follow me wholeheartedly, Mo Ya, go and bring Bai Feng over. Oh, yes, don't go now, wait until Ji Wuye finds out that the money is missing."

Mo Ya felt very heavy in his heart. He knew Ji Wuye's character much better than Cheng Jiao. Not to mention that their mistakes caused such a huge loss, even if they didn't make any mistakes, if they caused losses, Ji Wuye would kill them to vent his anger. His predecessor was like this!
Yingge felt very confused as he watched the black crow leave.

Although Cheng Jiao looks much better than Ji Wuye, who knows what he is behind. When Yingge thought about following this guy in the future, he felt a little nervous. He just hoped that he was really the same as he appeared to be, just a lecher and a playboy, not one of those nobles who looked gentle on the surface but were worse than beasts behind the scenes.

Han Yu's residence.

Han Qiancheng saw Han Yu returning home and said, "Godfather, Situ Wanli, the head of the Nong family's Qianlong Hall, is here."

Han Yu straightened his clothes and said, "I thought he wouldn't come."

Han Qiancheng whispered: "The latest intelligence shows that Situ Wanli is suspected of colluding with Liusha Baiyue."

Han Yu didn't care and walked past Han Qiancheng with the gait of a dragon or a tiger.

Just now in the palace, he had already obtained what he wanted most. As for other things, as long as they did not hinder his progress, he could accept them.

When Situ Wanli saw Han Yu coming in, he stood up and saluted.

"I have met the Fourth Young Master. After receiving the Fourth Young Master's late-night secret letter, Wanli rushed here overnight."

Han Yu looked normal.

"Master Situ, do you still remember the promise you made to me when you came to Xinzheng?"

"Of course I remember. If it weren't for the Fourth Young Master's help, I'm afraid the Nong family would still be mediocre in Qianlong Hall in Xinzheng."

"Since Master Situ remembered, why did he let Tianze go under the guise of this young master? Don't you know that this is a serious crime?"

At this moment, Han Yu's intimidating presence startled Situ Wanli, but he didn't take it to heart.

"My agreement with the Fourth Young Master is that we must not harm the interests of both parties. Besides, Tianze was not let go by this hall master. Why would the Baiyue Crown Prince, who was able to burn down the General's Mansion and rob the Jubao Pavilion, need my assistance?"

Han Yu's expression relaxed. What he said just now was just to express his dissatisfaction. It was impossible for him to really take it to heart with Situ Wanli.

"It seems that I have misunderstood."

Situ Wanli still had a professional smile on his face.

"The Fourth Young Master summoned me to his mansion in the middle of the night. Was it not just to inquire about this matter?"

Han Yu smiled and said, "Master Situ has a keen eye. I wonder if Master Situ is interested in Ye Mu's business?"

Situ Wanli took a deep breath and said, "Mr., is there something that you like?"

Han Yu half-squinted his eyes and said, "Xiping Tangxi Sword Workshop."

Even with Situ Wanli's composure, he was dumbfounded by the goal Han Yu mentioned.

"Fourth Young Master, you are trying to take the lifeblood of Ye Mu Ji Wu Ye!" On the surface, ordinary people who don't know the truth just think that this is just a place for forging swords.

But those who know the inside story will treat it seriously.

It is not only because Tangxi Sword Shop cast the famous sword Tangxi, which is the holy land of sword casting today. It is also because Tangxi Sword Shop has the largest mine in Korea and even in the seven countries, Yiyang Mine. It is the largest smelting base in Korea.

All the strongest bows and crossbows in the world come from Korea, to be more precise, from Tangxi Sword Workshop in Xiping. It can be said to be the largest arsenal during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is one of the fundamentals for Ji Wuye to gain a foothold in Korea, and it is also one of the important reasons why Xueyi Hou treats Ji Wuye as an equal.

It’s not that no one has tried to take over Tangxi Sword Workshop, but without exception, they either died inexplicably or were warned and never dared to take any action again.

Han Yu saw Situ Wanli's rich expression and smiled, "Master Situ, there is no need to be like this."

The reason why he mentioned this place was mainly because he had reached a potential agreement with his father. If he could weaken Nightfall, the throne would be his.

As for how to weaken it, my father has already given the direction, the Korean Iron Blood Alliance and Night. And Night and the Iron Blood Alliance or the royal family, the one that has the closest connection is the Tangxi Sword Shop in Xiping.

Tangxi Sword Workshop is not only controlled by Ji Wuye, but the Korean Iron Blood Alliance also has some decision-making power in it.

The King of Han is just incompetent, but not a fool. How could he hand over the most important arsenal of the Kingdom of Han to Ji Wuye to play with without reservation?

Seeing Han Yu calm and composed, Situ Wanli wondered what Han Yu had the confidence to do. The prince had died unexpectedly a few days ago. If Han Yu had done it, Ji Wuye could have done the same. If someone smashed his gambling house and cut off his source of income, Situ would have risked his life.

"Fourth Master, you might as well make it clear. Wanli is only a branch leader under the Siyue Hall of the Nong Family, and his ability is limited."

Han Yu did not continue speaking, but instead asked Situ Wanli a question.

"I wonder if Master Situ knows about the Iron Blood Alliance?"

"I know a little bit. The origin of the Iron Blood Alliance is mysterious. They were born with the Iron Blood Order, and are known as 'Iron as Faith, Blood as Righteousness, Iron Blood Formation, No Obstacles in Life and Death'. The gold notes currently circulating among the nobles of the seven nations were issued by the Iron Blood Alliance."

Situ Wanli knew that this was a behemoth no less than Luowang. It would be extremely difficult to get so many nobles from the seven countries to approve the gold note. The current era is not an era of peace and development.

Han Yu chuckled and said, "To be honest with you, Master Situ, I am the current leader of the Iron Blood Alliance."

Situ Wanli said unhappily, "The Fourth Young Master asked me to come here so late at night just to make fun of me?"

Han Yu did not give a direct response, but instead talked about a past event.

"The expansion of Qin at that time prompted the countries to unite. In the third year of King Shenjing of Zhou, Wei, Zhao, Han, Yan and Chu joined forces to attack Qin. However, Chu and Yan were temporarily not threatened by Qin, so they had a negative attitude and waited and watched. Only Wei, Zhao and Han actually sent troops. After the coalition army attacked Hangu Pass, they were repelled by the Qin army. The following year, Qin defeated the coalition army of the three countries in Xiuyu. The first coalition attack on Qin failed."

Situ Wanli listened to Han Yu's narration and pondered in his heart.

After Han Yu finished speaking, he saw Situ Wanli was silent.

"It was precisely because of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Hangu Pass that the royal families of the five countries secretly swore an oath of blood to form an alliance. They used iron chains and fire tripods to cast the Iron Blood Order at the Xiping Tangxi Sword Workshop in Han. They also established the Iron Blood Alliance with the covenant of 'iron as trust, blood as righteousness, iron and blood formation, life and death are not hindered'. Later, after many alliances, the royal families of Qin and Qi also joined the Iron Blood Alliance, and the current Iron Blood Alliance was established."

Situ Wanli suddenly realized, "So, the Fourth Young Master controls the Iron Blood Alliance of South Korea, or the power of the Korean royal family?"

"That's right. Master Situ, can we talk now?"
