This man, known as Wu Sha, is a killer of the Jianghu, without any affiliation.

He is wild and unruly, untamed and rebellious. He roams the rivers and lakes, taking on assassination missions for a living... Besides that, He also manages the Hehuan Tower as part of his business.

Wu Cha, being the information gatherer, was the source of almost all the secrets in Hehuan Tower. Every time he obtained information, his remuneration would be several times higher than usual.

If we talk about the relationship between the two, it would be that Qi Yan holds his handle, and despite being threatened constantly, Wushi feels comfortable. He doesn't care if his weak point is known by others; he only cares about whether he can live this life freely.

"Tell me the one thing you most want to know." Wu Cha sat with crossed legs next to Qi Yan and casually tossed a fruit: "There's a trap at the upcoming swordsmanship feast, and the old emperor is aware of it. If Puyang Zheng obediently marries the young lady from the Xiang Mansion, then everything will be fine. But if Puyang Zheng shows the slightest unwillingness, then..."

With a sinister smirk and a chilling allure, he said, "The military token is not guaranteed."

"Battle formation emblem?" The laziness in the corner of his eye vanished, and Qi Yan looked up solemnly, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on Wu Cha.

"The old emperor acquired a troupe of actors, utilizing a straw boat to borrow arrows, all in anticipation of the east wind."

"The Emperor wants to frame Puyang Zheng and strip him of his military authority?"

"This is what you said." Wusha chuckled, taking a bite of the fruit with a crisp sound.

Qi Yan lowered his head, lost in deep thought.

"What are you thinking? Are you going to tell Puyang Zheng about this matter?"

"He wouldn't believe it."

"It seems you're not foolish either," Wu Sha took a few bites of the fruit and tossed the core out the window. "Alright, I still have unfinished business with someone. I'll take my leave for now!" With that, a cool breeze swept through and when she looked again, only Qi Yan remained in the room.

The Emperor acted too quickly. Probably after Puyang Zhengyi requested to cancel the arranged marriage, he no longer possessed military power. Not only was he sent on dispatches by the Emperor, but if the bandits spread rumors and they reached the Emperor's ears, it would be as easy as getting rid of Puyang Zhengyi or crushing an ant with one's fingers.

However, what worried Qi Yan even more was the group of vice-generals and soldiers who followed Pu Yang Zheng in conquering the world...

They followed Puyang Zheng and risked their lives, willing to give up their military power. When the day came that their military authority was revoked, they couldn't bear it and sought justice for Puyang Zheng. Ironically, their actions ended up causing harm to Puyang Zheng instead.

The occurrence of either event is beyond one's control. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent anything unexpected from happening before the evening banquet in the palace tomorrow.

Time flies, and early the next day, Puyang Zheng arrived at the Hehuan Tower once again.

It must be acknowledged that even though Qi Yan may not be completely trustworthy, he is currently the only person with a solution.

The scene from yesterday vividly replayed in his mind. Puyang Zheng licked his lips, savoring the sensation that was different from the touch between a man and a woman.

Still being led by the young servant to the room from yesterday, Puyang Zheng thought, this should be his bedroom.

This time, he didn't have to wait long before Qi Yan appeared.

She was still dressed in fiery red attire, revealing her fair chest. Her black hair cascaded down, creating a bewitchingly captivating look.

"Have you understood, General?"

"Yes," Puyang Zheng replied in a deep voice, "I can agree to the three conditions you mentioned, as long as they are within my capabilities."

"Of course," Qi Yan chuckled lightly, "So the first condition is to redeem me back to the general's residence."

"...What?" Puyang Zheng widened his eyes abruptly, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, "What do you mean by this?"

Qi Yan smiled without changing his expression, his reaction within expectations. After all, no one wants to give without receiving any benefits in return.

"General, redeem me and bring me back to the mansion," Qi Yan insisted, "I believe that in no time, you will see a different turn of events."

With the conversation reaching this point, Puyang Zheng furrowed his eyebrows and, after gazing at Qi Yan for quite some time, finally asked uncertainly, "Are you serious?"

"I never speak without reason," the young man said.

"Okay."

Although Puyang Zheng did not understand Qi Yan's true intention, he still agreed to it, thinking of it as a desperate measure. After a period of time, he might be able to separate from Qi Yan.

Furthermore, he had not yet given up on accepting Qi Yan's connections and the secretive Hehuan Building.
