...

Later that day, Ji Wuye asked Nong Yu over to his manor.

When Nong Yu got to his manor, he said to her, "I've heard that your music can gather up birds.

Today, I want to witness it for myself to see if it's true.

Here, use this zither to play your song."

Ji Wuye threw the zither that he had broken to Nong Yu.

Nong Yu had an emotionless expression on her face as she started playing the zither.

Ji Wuye was furious when he saw Nong Yu playing a broken zither, so he said to her in an angry tone, "Hey you!

Are you making fun of me?

This zither is broken and there is no music coming out of it.

Therefore, why are you moving your fingers as if you are playing it?"

Nong Yu said, "General, even if you can't hear the music, but I'm pretty sure the birds can hear the music."

Ji Wuye said in an angry tone, "Quit with your nonsense!

There is no sound coming out of that zither at all, therefore how can anyone hear anything.

If you lie to me, you're going to learn a tough lesson."

Nong Yu said, "General, be patient and just wait and see.

Soon, you'll know if I am lying to you or not."

After saying this, Nong Yu went back to playing the broken zither with no sounds coming out of it at all.

Ji Wuye became furious while he waited.

Then, after a while, crows started surrounding the manor while Nong Yu played the broken zither with no sounds coming out of it.

Ji Wuye was shocked when he saw this.

Then, after playing for a while, Nong Yu stopped playing.

By now, the whole manor was already surrounded by crows.

Then, Nong Yu said to Ji Wuye, "General, what did you think about my music?"

Ji Wuye looked around and saw all of the crows gathering around the manor.

Then, he said to Nong Yu, "It is said that crows are heralds of death.

Why did your song gather up crows instead, the animal that symbolizes death."

Nong Yu said, "General, everyone knows of your strength in the Han Kingdom and that you have killed many people in war to show your power to the opposing states that you go to war against.

Therefore, the crows that have came to listen to my song may symbolize death in a normal person's perspective, but for you, it symbolizes strength and power."

Ji Wuye laughed in the air satisfiedly after hearing Nong Yu say this.

Then, he said, "Good, I like that.

Your music, although I can't hear it, but the results have satisfied me."

After saying this, Ji Wuye walked over to Nong Yu and was about to touch her, but right when he was about to touch her, she stabbed him with a dagger that was hidden inside of her long sleeve.

Nong Yu felt shocked and anxious when she realized that Ji Wuye had caught her wrist before her dagger could make contact with him.

Then, he twisted her wrist roughly and dislocated it as she yelped in pain.

After Nong Yu's wrist was dislocated, she dropped her dagger.

Then, right after Nong Yu had dropped her dagger, Ji Wuye strangled Nong Yu with his hand and held her in the air.

Nong Yu struggled in pain as Ji Wuye strangled her.

Then, Ji Wuye said to Nong Yu, "You think you could fool me.

I already know who you are when those crows appeared.

Now tell me, who sent you to assassinate me?

Is it Wei Zhuang?

Who is your boss?!"

After saying this, Ji Wuye saw Nong Yu vomiting blood.

Then, he said to her, "Taking poison to silence yourself.

Good, I'll help you die then."

Ji Wuye threw Nong Yu into the air with his hand that was still strangling her.

Then, he pulled out his sword from his sheath and slashed her with it while she was still in the air.

However, right when Ji Wuye's sword was about to make contact with Nong Yu, Nong Yu suddenly disappeared in midair.

Ji Wuye's sword missed its target and smashed into the floor of the manor and broke the floor instead.

Then, Ji Wuye turned to look behind him.

He saw Baifeng carrying Nong Yu who was injured very badly and was poisoned in his arms.

When Ji Wuye saw this, he said to Baifeng, "Baifeng, you...

My men haven't killed you yet?"

Nong Yu said to Baifeng weakly while she rested on his arms, "You came back."

Baifeng said while looking down at Nong Yu who he was carrying in his arms, "I came to take you away."

Nong Yu said, "I can't leave with you.

I am already poisoned."

Baifeng said, "Don't speak anymore, I'll get us out of here."

After Baifeng had said this, Ji Wuye said, "The two of you cannot leave at all under my sword.

You two can die together here."

After saying this, Ji Wuye rushed forward towards Baifeng and Nong Yu and striked down at Baifeng with his sword.

Baifeng dodged the attack while he was still carrying Nong Yu and was about to escape out of the room with Nong Yu by using his speed and lightness skills, but then Ji Wuye threw his sword over at Baifeng to block his path.

Baifeng stopped, as to not get hit by the sword.

After that, Ji Wuye came running towards Baifeng and threw a roundhouse kick at Baifeng.

Baifeng ducked while still holding Nong Yu in his arms to dodge the kick after that, he was about to escape out of the room with Nong Yu, but then, Ji Wuye grabbed his sword that was stuck to a wall from earlier when he threw it and attacked Baifeng continuously with his sword.

Baifeng dodged all of the sword's attacks.

Then, one of the attacks was about to hit Nong Yu and Baifeng couldn't dodge this attack too, so he used his body to shield Nong Yu from the attack.

The sword pierced halfway through Baifeng's right shoulder.

After this attack, Ji Wuye was about to end both Baifeng and Nong Yu with another powerful strike from his sword while Baifeng was injured, but then, Moya appeared from behind Ji Wuye and attacked him at top speed with his arm blade.

Baifeng and Ji Wuye were shocked when they saw this.

Then, Ji Wuye quickly turned around to block Moya's attack and exchanged a few blows with Moya.

Then, Moya backed away to Baifeng and Nong Yu while Ji Wuye also backed away a few feet too, due to the impact from both of their attacks clashing at each other.

After this, Ji Wuye said to Moya, "Moya, those crows from earlier were summoned by you, is that right?"

Moya said, "That's right, General."

After hearing Moya say this, Ji Wuye said you were helping an assassin by sending those crows to aid her while she was playing her music and now you are fighting with me, that shows that you are betraying me."

Moya said, "No General...

I wasn't betraying you.

Earlier, I was just helping Nong Yu just so that she wouldn't get scolded by you.

I too didn't know that she was an assassin until she pulled out that dagger to stab you.

As for right now, I just came to change fate."

Ji Wuye said, "What do you mean by changing fate?"

Moya said, "I am willing to give up my life for his'."

Moya pointed to Baifeng after saying this.

Then, Ji Wuye said, "Give me a good reason for that."

Moya said, "Baifeng is my subordinate.

He does not know what is bad for him, therefore you should be blaming me instead."

After Moya had said this, Baifeng said to him, "Moya, you are being unrealistic."

Then, Ji Wuye said, "Moya, do you see?

He doesn't appreciate your kindness."

Moya said, "This kid just doesn't know yet, but once he grows up, he would know."

After Moya had said this, Ji Wuye said to him, "Moya, I think you're the one who doesn't know.

Do you still remember that falcon?"

Moya said, "I do."

Then, Ji Wuye said, "Therefore, you should know that your life is no longer yours now.

In that case how can you exchange it for that kid's life when it is not even your's.

I'll make everything clear and simple.

If you let the two of them leave, I would kill you immediately.

Therefore, if you don't want to die, kill the both of them for me.

Then, I would spare your life."

After saying this, Ji Wuye waited for Moya to kill both Baifeng and Nong Yu.

Baifeng felt anxious after hearing what Ji Wuye had said.

Moya hesitated for a while.

Then, he said to Ji Wuye, "Since this life of mine is so worthless, then why bother keeping it."

Ji Wuye said, "Are you positive about that?"

Moya said, "I'm positive."

Then, Ji Wuye said in an angry tone, "In that case, you can die with the two of them too."

After Ji Wuye had said this, Moya turned to Baifeng and said to him, "Kid can you still fly?"

Baifeng said, "The faster you fly, the faster I would be."

Then, Moya said to Nong Yu, "How about you?

Where's your antidote?"

Nong Yu said to Moya in a low weak tone, "It's outside the city."

After Nong Yu had said this,Moya turned back around to face Ji Wuye.

Then, he said to Baifeng and Nong Yu, "Do what you got to do to leave this place.

You two staying here would only hinder me while I fight."

After saying this, Baifeng was about to leave the manor while carrying Nong Yu, but then a huge iron wall that looks like a cage slid down from the ceiling and blocked the exit.

Then, more iron walls slid down the ceiling of the manor too and surrounded not only Baifeng and Nong Yu, but also Moya in them too.

The iron walls had surrounded Baifeng, Nong Yu, and Moya inside of them as if they were inside a bird cage.

After they were all locked up inside of the iron cage, Baifeng backed away back towards Moya while still carrying Nong Yu in his arms.

Then, the three of them stayed together inside of the iron cage.

Ji Wuye said to the three of them, "None of you can leave this place.

The three of you would die here together."
