Chapter 312: Hundred Birds and Black Crows
The next day, Han Fei returned home. The ninth son of King Han An seemed careless and cynical on the surface, but he was actually extremely smart and cared about the people.

He knew very well that in order to change the poverty and weakness of Korea, he had to get rid of Ji Wuye, the powerful official who had the power to control everything, so he needed help.

So at the Yibao Conference held in the Nongjia Qianlong Hall, Han Fei exchanged the Blue Sea Coral Jar for the wooden box made by Zi Nu using the art of vertical and horizontal techniques, and the two sides thus hooked up.

Yan Lu did not interfere in all this, and even gave up the idea of ​​making friends with Jing Ke and Yan Dan.

He paid more attention to little Yan Yan. With the medicine provided by Zi Nu, Yan Yan’s fever subsided after a day and a half. After another half a day, his spirits also became much better.

On the third night, Han Fei went to Zilanxuan as a guest. He met Zhang Liang, Zinu and Wei Zhuang for the first time and reached a preliminary understanding to work together to solve the recent sensational case of the ghost soldiers robbing pay.

Han Fei didn’t know that because he investigated the ghost soldiers’ robbery case too deeply, he had been put on the kill list of the person behind the scenes.

Danger was slowly approaching him.

In the dark night, there was a solemn atmosphere. Han Fei, who was a little drunk, was suddenly startled because he suddenly sensed a cold aura appearing around him.

In the darkness, “ghost soldiers” wearing armor and with ghost lights in their eyes floated down from the night sky, slashing down with long swords, pointing directly at Han Fei.

At this moment, a chain snake soft sword that flashed red light like a spirit snake extended from one side and deflected the long sword attacking Han Fei.

Soon, Zi Nu, holding a soft sword, came out.

“It turned out to be Miss Zinu who came to save me. I knew you cared about me.” Facing the assassination, Han Fei seemed unusually calm.

“Someone wants to kill you, and you still have the mind to make a joke.” Zi Nu said with a smile.

“Because I know you won’t let me die.” Han Fei said with deep eyes.

Zi Nu chuckled and attacked again. The soft sword in her hand was as agile as a snake. After just a few rounds, she knocked down these so-called “ghost soldiers” one by one.

These defeated ghost soldiers turned into countless black crows and scattered in all directions.

“The so-called ‘ghost soldiers’ are actually a group of crows? How can they be so real?” Han Fei said as he picked up a black feather from the ground.

“It’s an illusion.” Wei Zhuang appeared beside the two men at some point and said, “Using flying crows to pretend to be ghostly soldiers, and then using illusions to confuse people, it’s normal that the soldiers escorting the military pay would fall for it.”

“Then use water to dissolve gold instead of real gold, so as to transfer the real military pay away without anyone noticing. It’s a very clever method.” Zi Nu responded.

“It seems that everything is clear now. We have exposed the opponent’s tricks. As long as we can find out the mastermind behind the scenes, this case of the ghost soldiers robbing pay will be solved.” Han Fei said.

After a moment of silence, the three of them said almost at the same time: “Oh no, Lord Anping and Lord Longquan are in danger!”

Anping Jun and Longquan Jun are the ones who are responsible for escorting the military pay this time. They must know who is behind the scenes. In order to keep the truth secret, the person behind the scenes will definitely kill these two to silence them.

“Let’s go to the prison!” Han Fei called out.

At the same time, in the prison in Xinzheng, South Korea, a group of black crows floated over and sneaked into the vicinity of the prison. Behind the crows followed an evil man in black clothes with cold eyes.

This person is Mo Ya, one of the most powerful assassins in the “Hundred Birds” organization under Ji Wuye.

Following the order of General Ji Wuye, he eliminated all those who dared to investigate the case of the ghost soldiers robbing pay.

Since the assassination attempt on Han Fei failed, he made a decisive decision to kill Anping Jun and Longquan Jun directly, turning the case into an unsolved mystery.

It has to be said that as an assassin, Mo Ya is an excellent choice in terms of his scheming, strategy, methods and martial arts.

In the original timeline, it was because he silenced Anping Jun and Longquan Jun in time that the secret that Ji Wuye was the mastermind was not leaked.

“Swish!” The pitch-black figure of the black crow mixed in with the flock of crows and sneaked into the prison.

The guards in the prison were useless to a master like him, and he soon arrived at the cell door where Anping Jun and Longquan Jun were imprisoned.

However, he found that someone had already got here first. Not only was the cell door wide open, but there was also a young man sitting at a desk in front of the door, looking at something.

“Who are you? What’s in your hand?” The moment Mo Ya saw the young man in front of him for the first time, alarm bells rang in his heart, even though the other party looked like a child about ten years old.

“The confessions signed by Lord Anping and Lord Longquan detailed how they followed the instructions of General Ji Wuye, stole the military pay and replaced the emperor with his own.”

Yan Lu took the confession, looked at Mo Ya with interest and said, “Do you want to take a look too?”

Mo Ya’s face darkened and he said, “Your Excellency, are you deliberately going against us, Ye Mu?”

“So what?” Yan Lu said.

“If that’s the case, then go to hell!” Mo Ya waved his hand violently, and more than ten crows flew towards Yan Lu with strange cries.

In a flash, it seemed that hundreds or thousands of crows turned into darkness and covered Yan Lu.

“It’s just an illusion, and you dare to use it on me.” Two dark purple lights flashed in Yan Lu’s eyes.

When the “Purple Demon Eye” is activated, all illusions are exposed.

“Since you want to die, then I will… grant your wish!” The demonic energy rose into the sky, far surpassing the darkness of the Black Crow, covering the entire place.

“Qiang!”

A seemingly broken but extremely sharp long sword was held in Yan Lu’s hand.

A ten-year-old child holding a sword as long as his body should have looked very funny, but in Yan Lu’s hand, he could wield it as easily as with his own arm, and a sense of profoundness and might came naturally to him.

“Buzz!”

As the sword danced, a powerful sword energy swirled above the sword. It was as soft as water and should have lasted endlessly.

The sword intent of Cutting Water can turn the impossible into possible and stop the flow of a long river, which shows how fast and powerful it is.

“Shh!”

Before the sword energy arrived, the turbulent sword wind was already blowing in his face. Mo Ya was trembling all over. Since he had mastered martial arts, he had never been so scared, even when facing his nominal lord, General Ji Wuye.

The opponent’s sword, although seemingly just a simple slash, completely blocked his escape routes up, down, left and right.

“Kill three thousand crows!” At the critical moment, the black crows did not sit still and wait for death.

The black mist dissipated and turned into hundreds of crows, like dark angry dragons, surrounding Mo Ya and helping him to resist the surging sword wind.

“Summoning magic?” Yan Lu suddenly became interested.

In the world of Qin’s Moon, there are quite a few masters who are good at summoning. Zhao Gao can send messages with the help of spiders, Bai Feng can control giant birds to track, and Chi Lian can summon a group of snakes to fight.

Although this black crow is not mentioned much in the original novel, he is also an expert in summoning birds. More importantly, he is not a bad person by nature. It seems… can he be kept?

Thinking of this, Yan Lu’s sword that was cutting off the water moved slightly outwards.
