Starting by Getting a Wife? It Turns Out She Is a Skilled Assassin

Chapter 56



Chapter 56: Er Gouzi collapsed, are you kidding me?

Zhang Liang’s intention was clear. Since Wei Wuji came to see Ji Wuye, his safety in Han Country should also be Ji Wuye’s responsibility. If Ji Wuye failed to protect him and Wei Wuji was killed, not only would cooperation be disrupted, but even the Emperor of Wei might blame Ji Wuye for it!

This would not only disrupt Ji Wuye’s plans but also bring him a lot of trouble.

This method seemed indeed quite good. After a moment of contemplation, Sister Zi frowned and spoke to stop them, “No, Wei Wuji cannot be killed.”

Wei Zhuang, who had been cleaning his sword, suddenly stopped, his sharp gaze directly meeting Sister Zi’s.

“Why can’t he be killed?”

Hong Liang also rested her chin on her hand and said, “Yeah, I think Xiaoliang’s idea is good, kill him and be done with it.”

Han Fei, who had been lost in thought, shook his head slowly at this point, “Sister Zi is right, he indeed cannot be killed.”

He sighed and continued, “If Wei Wuji dies, it will indeed trouble Ji Wuye. However, it will only cause him minor trouble, while it will bring great trouble to my Han Country.”

If Wei Wuji were to die, Ji Wuye would indeed be in hot water. But Wei Wuji was the brother of the Emperor of Wei, representing the face of the Wei Empire wherever he went.

If he died in Han Country, it would be an insult to the Wei Empire. Ji Wuye could simply find a scapegoat and hand him over, avenging Wei Wuji.

But how would the Wei Empire account for losing face in Han Country? The Emperor of Wei would demand answers from the Han Country, not just from the General Ji, because their statuses were not equal!

So when Wei Wuji died, it escalated the conflict between the entire Han and Wei Empires.

Even if the Wei Emperor is enraged and punishes Ji Wuye, so what?

Han Fei, as the prince of Han, naturally has to consider the big picture.

After listening to this explanation, Wei Zhuang placed the sword in front of him again: “Then don’t kill.”

Zhang Liang rubbed his chin and paced around the room, slowly saying, “But if he is killed, the Han Emperor’s anger will definitely punish Ji Wuye to appease the Wei emperor’s anger. He may even be demoted or lose power!”

Wei Zhuang raised the sword: “Then kill him!”

Sister Zi glared at Zhang Liang: “But if the Wei Emperor doesn’t comply and sends troops to Han country?”

Wei Zhuang once again put down the sword: “Then don’t kill.”

Zhang Liang retorted, “Wei and Yan are currently in the same boat, once Wei declares war on our Han country, Yan will surely take the opportunity to send troops, the Wei Emperor may not take that risk.”

Wei Zhuang took a deep breath: “Then let’s kill him!”

Sister Zi analyzed, “After the Battle of Changping in the past, Zhao was plundered by Yan, and there has been deep-seated resentment. If Yan wants to act, they can’t bypass Zhao’s borders.”

Wei Zhuang: “…”

He angrily split a nearby table with a sword: “Do we kill or not?”

“Let me do the killing, Honey just give it to me.”

In a secluded courtyard, Jing Ni held a live chicken upside down, flapping its wings vigorously, causing chaos.

Li Mo looked puzzled, then took the chicken from her.

“I’ll take care of this, you go get hot water.”

Jing Ni, feeling liberated, tossed the chicken to Li Mo and went to the kitchen to prepare for scalding and plucking.

Li Mo watched her back, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.

He walked to a corner of the yard to slaughter the chicken.

The cooked chicken soup was delicious, after lunch, Li Mo rested in the courtyard.

When he woke up again, he “saw” Jing Ni busy in the corner of the yard.

“What are you doing, Honey? Let me help!” Jing Ni had a large pile of bamboo poles by her side, inserting them into the ground one by one and securing them with ropes.

Hearing Li Mo’s voice, she turned and said, “I’m planning to raise some chickens at home, then we won’t have to buy them?”

“The price of a grown chicken can buy ten chicks, and if we raise our own, they will lay eggs, so we won’t have to buy eggs either, saving a lot of money.”

Li Mo handed her a bamboo pole one by one, praising, “Honey knows how to live, thinking ahead.”

Jing Ni smiled, then looked at the sun and asked, “Husband, are you not going to tell stories today?”

Li Mo: “…”

“What more can I say, you were whimpering last night, I quit all my work.”

“I’m not going, these days I’ll be with Honey at home.” Jing Ni pouted and looked a bit lost.

A moment later, she suddenly patted Li Mo’s hand handing her bamboo pole and said, “That’s good, I’ll build the chicken yard myself, you go to the market and buy some chickens, yesterday I didn’t find good ones.”

“Listen carefully, choose the one that makes the loudest noise, pick seven or eight, that’s about enough.” Li Mo casually said, “Let’s go together, and have a stroll with Honey.”

Jing Ni urged with a smile, “I’ve been tired of shopping every day, go quickly. Once I finish the chicken coop and you haven’t come back, be careful I won’t let you in bed tonight.”
