Chapter 173 Betrayal
The Jubao Pavilion, which has turned into ruins, is still steaming.

Ji Wuye ordered his men to expel the Xinzheng residents who were watching from all sides, under the pretext of searching for clues about the remnants of Tianze, in order to prevent any spies from sneaking in.

The three hundred personal guards of the Bloody Marquis, who were sent to prepare to move the money boxes in the Treasure Pavilion, were now waiting outside.

Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou entered the Jubao Pavilion side by side.

"My Lord, Tiger should be credited with the most credit for this success. Hundred Birds also paid a lot, planning to infiltrate the interior of Liusha, and one of their leaders died. Even most of this general's mansion was destroyed."

Ji Wuye may seem rough, but he is actually very scheming. He has put a lot of thought into getting more wealth from the Jubao Pavilion.

Marquis Xueyi had a blank expression on his face and did not argue with Ji Wuye.

Ji Wuye saw that the Bloody Marquis was silent and half-closed his eyes. Usually, the Bloody Marquis treated him with aristocratic elegance, but now that his interests were involved, he no longer took him seriously.

"Open the door."

Marquis Xueyi waved his hand, and twenty ice-armored soldiers put down their weapons, grasped the handle on the thousand-jin copper gate and exerted force together, and the thousand-jin copper gate weighing tens of thousands of pounds slowly rose.

A smile also appeared on the expressionless face of the Blood Robe Marquis. Ji Wuye suppressed his dissatisfaction with the Blood Robe Marquis and looked at the secret room attentively.

After today, the money will belong to Ye Mu. Ji Wuye has already made up his mind that he will use part of the money to control more troops to check and balance the Blood-Robed Marquis, and part of it to bribe or return to those fence-sitting nobles.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the Jubao Pavilion that made Ji Wuye very unhappy.

"I am the Minister of Justice of the Kingdom of Korea, in charge of criminal law. Why can't I enter?"

"Please forgive me, Master Nine. The general has ordered that no one is allowed to enter to prevent danger."

"Danger? Could it be that the remnants of the Baiyue are still there?"

"I don't know. I am just following orders. I hope Master Nine won't embarrass me."

Cheng Jiao looked at the burned Jubao Pavilion with great interest, feeling a sense of desolate beauty.

"Brother Han, since General Ji has given the order, why bother a servant? Why not wait a while."

Zhao Xian wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Cheng Jiao with gratitude.

Han Fei smiled inexplicably: "It's okay to wait."

If he hadn't known that the money in the secret room of Jubao Pavilion had been moved away, he would have definitely made a big fuss and prevented Ye Mu from succeeding. But now...
Ji Wuye had amazing hearing and listened to the conversation between Han Fei and Zhao Xian outside the Jubao Pavilion.

"My Lord, Han Fei is here. It seems that the money cannot be transported away."

Marquis Xueyi was not panicked at all: "If you can't transport it, just leave it here. Can Han Fei keep an eye on it? I don't believe that anyone can snatch this money away under my nose."

"With the Marquis's three hundred ice-armored soldiers, even if Jing Wei and Wei Zhuang come in person, they can still be killed on the spot."

Ji Wuye seemed to be flattering, but in fact he was mocking the arrogance of the Blood Robe Marquis. Last night, the Blood Robe Marquis was almost killed by Jing Wei's sword.

Twenty ice-armored soldiers, sweating profusely, raised the copper gate halfway.

"My Lord, please."

Marquis Xueyi replied calmly: "General, let's go together."

When Xueyi Hou and Ji Wuye approached the secret room, they suddenly realized something was wrong.

They are all experts with amazing eyesight, and can see clearly even in a pitch-black secret room.

The secret room was empty, with only a large hole that caught people's attention. It was obvious that someone had dug a passage through the secret room.

Ji Wuye’s face turned ashen, and the Blood-Robed Marquis’s already pale face became even paler.

"quicksand!"

Ji Wuye gritted his teeth and spat out two words, then turned and walked out of the secret room, holding his sword tightly, wanting to vent his anger. The Blood-Robed Marquis took a deep breath, and instead of going out with Ji Wuye, he stepped into the secret passage.

Han Fei looked at Ji Wuye who walked out angrily.

"General, has the danger been eliminated? Can I go in?"

Ji Wuye was already angry, and when he saw Han Fei's calm and composed appearance, his rage soared.

"Han Fei! You're looking for death!"

Ji Wuye held the eight-foot sword and pointed it directly at Han Fei's mistress, but he did not take any further action.

The hooded Wei Zhuang and Jing Wei stood on the left and right of Han Fei and Cheng Jiao, forcing Ji Wuye to calm down.

Wei Zhuang alone could stop him, and with Jing Wei as well, if he took action, Han Fei would probably take the opportunity to kidnap him and send him to the palace.

Looking at the smiling Cheng Jiao, Ji Wuye calmed down and reacted.

All the doubts from last night were instantly cleared up. Yingge had definitely betrayed him and was in cahoots with Liusha. Among the four leaders, only Yingge, the initiator of the plan, knew the exact location of the secret room on the map. Hateful!
"Hakuho!"

Bai Feng appeared in front of Ji Wuye silently.

"Bring Yingge to me, regardless of life or death!"

Bai Feng's hands trembled. He could sense the murderous intent in Ji Wuye. He was very reluctant to do this. After all, Yingge had a good relationship with him and was also the object of Mo Ya's affection.

Ji Wuye didn't care about Cheng Jiao and Han Fei at all and directly threatened to kill people.

Cheng Jiao naturally didn't care about Ji Wuye's dark face.

"There's no need to bother the general with a big fight. Yingge is right here."

"Hmm?" Ji Wuye's cold eyes swept across Cheng Jiao, his murderous intent not concealed at all.

The sword in Jingwei's hand suddenly emerged from the scabbard, offsetting the pressure that Ji Wuye exerted on Cheng Jiao.

Cheng Jiao clapped his hands, and Yingge walked slowly from the corner and stood behind Cheng Jiao silently.

"Yingge, you betrayed me!"

Ji Wuye clenched his fists, his joints cracking, and he was obviously extremely angry.

Cheng Jiao chuckled and said, "General, your words are too harsh. Didn't you send Yingge to me? Didn't Yingge bring my words to you last night, thanking you for the beauty you sent me?"

Ji Wuye's eyes narrowed. He had heard this sentence last night, not from Yingge, but from Jingwei. But it didn't matter who said it. What mattered was that he wanted Yingge to die.

"Listen! Yingge attacked my mansion last night and colluded with the remnants of Baiyue to burn down the Jubao Pavilion. Capture him!"

When the black crow hiding under the eaves heard that Ji Wuye was going to surround and kill Yingge, he immediately appeared beside Yingge.

He came out from Cheng Jiao's place last night and had been trying to contact Bai Feng, but he found out that Bai Feng and Ji Wuye had gone to the palace, so he hadn't found an opportunity. He had been lurking around the Jubao Pavilion, but he hadn't expected Cheng Jiao to bring Yingge here. He simply didn't give Yingge and him any way out!
The appearance of Mo Ya made Ji Wuye vaguely aware that something was wrong.

"Mo Ya, capture Ying Ge for me!"

The city guards surrounded them but did not attack directly. The situation here was more complicated, with the princes of the Korean and Qin royal families. Unless Ji Wuye gave a death order, it would be better for them to surround them but not attack.

Mo Ya sighed softly: "General, I am now loyal to Lord Chang'an together with Yingge."

Ji Wuye’s breath was choked. Mo Ya actually betrayed him!

Bai Feng was silent for a long time, and when Ji Wuye was in disbelief, he stood beside Mo Ya without leaving a trace.
