It's almost dusk and everything is dim.

The water in the pond is green, and occasionally carps roll over the water.

Zhao Shuang was holding a fishing rod and sitting in the waterside pavilion. A spy-winged bird flew over and landed on his shoulder.

Zhao Shuang smiled softly. The little bird went away, and the float in his hand was shaking.

However, Zhao Shuang had no intention of pulling the fishing rod.

"Tai Gong fishes, and those who wish will take the bait. Is the Commander-in-Chief waiting for his own fish?"

Bai Yifei walked from the side wearing a cloak, took off the covering hat, and sat behind Zhao Shuang without listening to Zhao Shuang's greeting.

"I thought the Marquis would come at night, but I didn't expect to arrive so early."

"Tianze left Korea silently without making any noise. Before leaving, he also took away a dozen Mohist disciples. Why?"

"When doing business with others, you must always give capital. Tianze is the deposed prince. If he wants to be the king of Baiyue, he must have his own subordinates."

Bai Yifei smiled, lifted the wine bottle prepared on the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it without thinking.

"Since King Wei of Chu destroyed Yue, the Yue people fled south and lived together with the barbarians in the land of Baiyue for a century. Dongyue and Minyue were both built by the descendants of the Yue king, and they still have ritual systems. As for Nanyue and Xi'ou The other places are in chaos. In the land of Baiyue, there are not even a few decent cities, and it is under strict surveillance by the Chu State, so why do you want to settle there? "

"Because it's safe!"

When Bai Yifei heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"The leader of the Mo family is really quick to talk."

After laughing, Bai Yifei took a sip of wine.

"So, the Mo family will not be in trouble with Ye Mu anymore?"

"Old King Han just wants to have a chess piece to control the night, and does not want to see major internal chaos during the transfer of power. The Mo family is not the owner of this place, so how can they violate the idea?"

Zhao Shuang's words were light and seemed to be natural, but for Bai Yifei, they felt relieved.

Hidden in darkness at night, although it has a certain scale, it is far from powerful enough to dominate everything in South Korea.

Even if they fight to the death now, even if Ye Mu wins, it is not what Bai Yifei wants to see.

Because it will not be him who will benefit, but only the nobles in Korea who are afraid of Snow Clothes Castle.

"Then can you control Li Kai?"

For many people in Xinzheng City, what they saw was Li Kai dressed in splendor. But Bai Yifei and a few others can see the scars and hatred beneath that bright appearance!

For such a person, no one knows when he will do something crazy.

To Bai Yifei, Li Kai didn't matter, but the leader of the Mohist family behind him was enough to make him afraid.

What's more, behind this new Sima, there is also a Korean family.

This is a very complicated situation. Li Kai, a Sima, may affect the entire Korean court.

"Zuo Sima Liu Yi is dead, and now his enemy is no longer around. People like Li Kai don't need others to control them. As long as you don't fall into his hands."

Bai Yifei narrowed his eyes. Now, the most important thing for Ye Mu was to promote Prince An to the throne. Otherwise, all previous efforts will be in vain.

As for Li Kai and the Mo family, when the dust settles, it will be easy to get rid of them, and there is no need to be tied up like now.

Therefore, Bai Yifei's coming and showing weakness was just to strive for temporary peace and paralyze the boy in front of him.

However, his performance was not as simple as Bai Yifei imagined.

"In the world of the Seven Kingdoms, South Korea is at the center. It may seem weak, but it is a place that all parties must strive for. Now that the Mohist family has taken root here, how can the Marquis make it more stable?"

"What do you mean?"

Bai Yifei looked at the person in front of him, with some unpredictable meaning in his words.

"Ye Mu wants to gain huge benefits by supporting the crown prince to ascend to the throne, but now he is just one step away. For the Mo family, this is also a convenient way."

Bai Yifei put down the wine bottle in his hand, smiled coldly, and suddenly thought of something.

"Mrs. Hu!"

"I don't know who mentioned this in King Han's ears, saying that Li Kai has been unmarried for many years and Mrs. Hu is a widow at home, so she is a good match. King Han actually agreed."

Zhao Shuang shook his head, as if he was full of curiosity like a person who listens to gossip.

Mrs. Hu and Hu Meiren are sisters. Marrying Mrs. Hu to Li Kai will bring closer the relationship between Li Kai, the general who controls the capital's troops and horses, and the prince.

While Prince An gains a confidant general, Li Kai's position will also become more stable. If Ye Mo wanted to take action against him again, he would have to weigh the propriety.

This seemingly innocuous move allowed the Mo family to take root deeper in the land of South Korea. The most important thing is that the money spent in the early stage of the night was taken advantage of by this kid.

"Not long after her husband died, she married another man so quickly. How dare Li Kai marry such a woman?"

"After all, widows are pitiable!"

Zhao Shuang made a joke, but Bai Yifei stood up regardless of his demeanor, waved his sleeves and left without saying a word.

Zilanxuan.

In the empty pavilion, the only sound left was the sound of tears from the three people hugging each other.

Zi Nu walked out of the room and closed the sliding door with a sigh on her face.

She never thought that the woman she saved would have such a bizarre and tortuous life.

"Are you all ready?"

Zhao Shuang stood outside, dressed in civilian clothes without a mask.

"Everything is ready. The things in Zilanxuan can be sold and moved. Girls, those who are willing to follow will follow, and those who are unwilling will also be given severance pay. Now, I am ready to go to Xianyang."

Zhao Shuang nodded, but heard Zi Nu continue to speak.

"Nong Yu, she also wants to go to Xianyang with us."

Zhao Shuang was a little surprised and his expression changed.

"Li Kai is very popular in Xinzheng now. She is not a good official lady. She doesn't want to reunite with her parents, but she is willing to stay in Zilanxuan and travel thousands of miles?"

"It seems that this is not just what she means, Lord Li Kai also thinks so."

"Why?"

"I heard from Nong Yu that Lord Li Kai said that although he was in a prominent position, he suddenly rose to prominence and had made countless enemies, and the night was about to get rid of them quickly. Nong Yu is with him, so it is better to continue hiding in the market. time, maybe it can be safer.”

Zhao Shuang smiled and glanced at Zi Nu.

"I didn't expect that they would trust you so much?"

You know, Zhao Shuang, who takes off his mask, is just a stranger to the three of them, Li Kai. Li Kai let Nong Yu stay in Zi Lan Xuan entirely because of Zi Nu's relationship.

About to leave this land, there was sadness in Zi Nu's eyes. She shook her head slightly and looked at Zhao Shuang.

"You promised me that the Zilanxuan in Xianyang will be bigger and better than this one. If I find out that you lied to me, you will have to pay double the price when you come to Zilanxuan in the future."
