Chapter 227 The Fragrance of Truth

The fragrance in the house is not exhausted, and there is still a little bit of sandalwood smell left.

Cao Jiu stepped into the room and looked at the beautiful woman who was half sitting on the bed, dressed in mourning clothes. The other party softly called General. Half of his life seemed to be gone, and his whole body went numb.

"Eh!"

Cao Jiu responded, still with a smile on his face, and walked over quickly.

"Beauty, here I come!"

Concubine Yan smiled inwardly and put one hand behind her back. The soul-moving spell was ready. She was just waiting for this guy to automatically walk into her casting range before she was ready to do it.

Concubine Yan promised Zhao Shuang to use wisdom and ability to solve this matter instead of using Yin and Yang magic.

But without using onmyoji?

It is impossible not to use it, even in this life.

Concubine Yan's face was full of shyness, but her hands were filled with murderous intent.

A hissing sound.

The sound of wind was like an arrow, and the door that was originally open was suddenly closed.

Cao Jiu was wary. He looked back and saw nothing behind him. He didn't notice anything strange. When he turned back again, he saw that the shyness on the face of the beauty in front of him had disappeared, replaced by a look of vigilance and precaution.

"Beauty, what are you doing?"

A cold, serrated sword was placed on Cao Jiu's shoulder, causing him to stop his next words. Cao Jiu wanted to turn around and see the person behind him, but was stopped by the opponent's sword.

"General Cao Jiu, you'd better not look back. This is best for you."

"Who are you anyway?"

"You don't need to know this, you just need to know that I came to you for a business deal."

"Is this the way to find people to do business these days?"

Although Cao Jiu was held hostage, he did not show any fear. Cao Jiu was experienced in the battlefield and naturally knew that if the other party wanted his life, this conversation would not be happening now.

"Compared to the night approach, this should be considered a better approach."

The other party talked about night, which made Cao Jiu a little nervous. His cooperation with Ye Mu was conducted in private, and he could not let others know about his relationship with Ye Mu. Otherwise, he would inevitably be suppressed by other forces in the DPRK, and even be feared by the King of Han.

"what do you want?"

"In a few days, a batch of goods from Han Yangjun of Qin State will pass through the general's jurisdiction. I hope the general can make it convenient."

"Hanyang Jun?"

For most people in South Korea, this name is just a title that has some impression on the emperor. However, Cao Jiu has been guarding the border for many years and has many forces in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally knows a lot.

"Are you from the Mo family?"

"If I were from the Mo family, would I still talk to you like this?"

Wei Zhuang smiled, but the movement in his hand did not loosen at all. Instead, the hand holding the sword moved forward a little more.

"It's just some goods. If Lord Hanyang wants convenience, of course I have to give it to you. Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this."

"no!"

Wei Zhuang's eyes were not on Cao Jiu from beginning to end, but on the woman sitting on the bed.

Wei Zhuang's intuition told him that the woman in front of him was quite dangerous. Not knowing her relationship with Cao Jiu for a while, Wei Zhuang could only wait and see what happened until she objected.

Cao Jiu had a confused look on his face, not understanding what made this little widow so crazy.

For Concubine Yan, she couldn't bear to watch the duck she got fly away like this.

The key is that she had already promised Zhao Shuang that she could complete this matter, but Wei Zhuang disturbed her. What about the promised reward for Zhao Shuang?

"You can't agree to this matter!"

For a moment, Concubine Yan was full of fighting spirit, even though she knew that the man in front of her was on the same side as her.

Concubine Yan will also have to mess with this matter.

"How is this going?"

When Lu Mei received Ji Wuye's order to bring the news back to Cao Jiu's mansion, the entire building had collapsed.

Fragmented and in disarray.

Aimless crowds were watching around, including people from Cao Jiu's mansion and people eating melons.

The people who were eating melons were doing better, but the people in Cao Jiu's house were in an extremely embarrassed state and looked panicked.

"What's going on here?"

Lu Mei grabbed a servant of Cao Jiu's house and asked, but the other party stammered.

"There were two people fighting. There was light and blue fire. Click, click, click. After a while, they all flew away."

Listening to the servant's incoherent narration, Lu Mei gave up and directly searched for Cao Jiu's true identity in the ruins of Cao Jiu's mansion. Until deep in the ruins, Cao Jiu was sitting alone on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking, staring blankly at the sky.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Cao Jiu's face showed a calmness and indifference as he saw through the facts. He turned his head and looked at Lu Mei.

"I have not understood many things in my life, but now, I understand one thing."

"What?"

Cao Jiu's state was a bit abnormal. Green Eyebrow noticed that he looked pale and weak.

Cao Jiu stood up with some difficulty and shouted loudly, as if he wanted to break free from the shackles of the world and smell the fragrance of freedom and truth.

"Little widow, you can't have it!"

Then, Cao Jiu fell to the ground unconscious.

Hanwang Palace.

"That's unreasonable!"

King Han sat on the throne, feeling deeply angry.

"The general at the edge of my dignified town in South Korea was actually assassinated in his own mansion. If the real culprit is not brought to justice, where will my South Korea's face be?"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Ji Wuye walked out and held his hands in his hands.

"It is important to find out the real culprit, but Xu Di's soldiers need a new commander to guard the increasingly dangerous border. Wei, Chu, and Qin have always been eyeing our country, and now they need a more capable commander. general."

"General, what good recommendations do you have?"

"The ancients said: When promoting a virtuous person, one should not avoid relatives. I recommend Ji Yihu to be the general of Xu Land."

As soon as Ji Wuye finished speaking, he stood up and objected.

"Your Majesty, General Ji Yihu is brave in combat and has a long history of military exploits, but he is still young after all. In the border areas, the situation is complicated, and it still requires mature and prudent generals to better deal with the situation."

Seeing the quarrel between Ji Wuye's party and the people from Kaifangdi, King Han shouted to stop the ministers.

"I still need to think about the candidate. But this case must be investigated. Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

For a moment, everyone who had been arguing fiercely just now was speechless, and no one was willing to take on this hard task.

"Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. I recommend Zhang Xiangguo to take charge of this case."

With a smile on his face, Ji Wuye pushed the place out.

"Your Majesty, I believe that it is more convenient for the general to decide on matters in the army."

At this moment, Sima Li Kai suddenly stood up and gave a suggestion, which made both Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei a little wary.

Because behind Li Kai is the leader of the Moh family!

"In this case, let the general preside over it!"

"King"

Ji Wuye was about to say anything, but saw King Han wave his hand, ending the somewhat disturbing court situation.
