Chapter 5402 The storm is rising

"No rush, let this Ji family indulge themselves once more before they die."

The masked man spoke in a cold voice, staring straight at the brightly lit Ji family through the window of the house.

"Yes, my lord."

Upon hearing this, Chang Sheng hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully.

As a general of the Tianyu Empire, an ordinary person would definitely not be treated with such respect by Chang Sheng.

But the person in front of him is no ordinary person, but a palace master sent by the royal family to assist in this operation.

Facing such a person, Chang Sheng didn't dare to put on his usual general attitude.

It seems that the military power in the imperial city is in Chang Sheng's hands, but that is just a figurehead.

For such an important matter, how could the royal family put all the military power in his hands?

The only troops Chang Sheng could mobilize on a daily basis were his own 500 personal soldiers.

At this time, facing the adult coming out of the palace, Chang Sheng had to deal with it carefully.

"Ji family, today is the day you die!"

Chang Sheng thought secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but look up and stare in the direction of the Ji family.

I have already begun to imagine the scene of Ji Shan dying tragically under my sword.

The Ji family seemed to have become the center of the storm, and another group of people sneaked in.

Under the guidance of the Zui Xiang Lou guards, a group of people from the Snow Clan quietly sneaked in through the back door of the Ji Mansion.

After sending the people of the Snow Clan into Ji's Mansion, the guard also received Liu Zhang's latest order.

He immediately said that he could no longer lead the Snow Tribe people forward and that they had to return to Zui Xiang Lou urgently.

Upon hearing this, the other Snow Tribe members were about to attack, but were stopped by the leading woman.

"Okay, our goal has been achieved. Next we will go out on our own to look for the treasure of our clan."

"Since Liu Zhang asked you to go back, I'm sure something will happen to the Ji family next. You don't have to stay here."

The black-robed woman said in a deep voice, raising her hand to signal the guards to leave.

Seeing this, the guard nodded quickly to express his gratitude, and then quickly fled from the Ji family.

Judging from the tone of the black-robed woman, she obviously knew Liu Zhang quite well.

"Princess, are we just going to let him go like this? What if he changes his mind after he returns and exposes us?"

"This guy is an information dealer. As long as someone offers a price, he will definitely sell us out!"

A man in a black robe asked in a low voice at this time, with a strong flash of distrust in his eyes.

"Guangyu, I know you are resentful towards the people of Tianyu Empire."

"But Liu Zhang has a different relationship with our Snow Clan. There's no need for you to slander him like this."

"If he wanted to betray us, we wouldn't even have reached Zui Xiang Lou and would have been captured by the people of Tianyu Empire."

The black-robed woman called the princess spoke in a deep voice, her tone full of coldness.

Guangyu, who had expressed doubts, lowered his head secretly after hearing the princess' words.

It’s not that he was convinced, but he didn’t want the princess to see the angry expression on his face.

"Damn you, Imperial man! How did you make the princess trust you so much?"

"I think this guy must have used some despicable means to confuse the princess's mind!"

Guangyu lowered his head and thought with gritted teeth.

"Okay, our goal this time is to get the treasure of our clan. The most important thing is to bring the treasure back to the clan as soon as possible."

"I heard from Liu Zhang that the treasure seems to be taken by the eldest daughter of the Ji family. Find that person as soon as possible."

"Guangyu, go and take some people to capture a few servants of the Ji family and ask them where the eldest lady is."

Seeing Guangyu lowered his head and stopped talking, the black-robed woman's tone softened and she gave instructions in a deep voice.

"Yes, princess."

Guangyu raised his head and responded reluctantly.

He turned his head to look at the other tribesmen behind him, then raised his hand and pointed out a few of them.

"You guys, come with me."

After saying that, Guangyu lay on the ground, with a cold aura emanating from his body.

Under the cover of the cold air, Guangyu's figure quickly disappeared in the moonlight, leaving only a lingering icy air moving forward.

Seeing this, the other people who were called out immediately turned into cold air in the same way and followed Guangyu.

Just as the clouds were stirring in all directions, the Ji family, who were at the center of this vortex, were having a great time.

Ji Shan was sitting in the reception room, and both sides were already full of people.

There was a table in front of Ji Shan, and Zhang Yifeng, three others and his daughter Ji Huanying were sitting next to Ji Shan.

Zhang Yifeng looked around quietly. Apart from them, it seemed that only some members of the Ji family's side branches were present.

"Manager Ji, may I know your wife?"

Zhang Yifeng asked in a low voice. He thought Ji Shan was waiting for his wife to show up before holding a banquet.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the originally lively reception room suddenly became silent.

Including Ji Huanying, everyone was looking at their father nervously at this time.

Seeing this, Zhang Yifeng immediately realized that he seemed to have asked the wrong question.

Just when he was about to explain, he saw Ji Shan shaking his head with a wry smile.

"You don't have to worry about it. Master Zhang doesn't know about the affairs of my Ji family, so it's normal for him to have such doubts."

"To be honest, my first wife was weak in her early years and passed away after giving birth to Huanying."

"That's why I have always held Huanying as my treasure since she was young."

Ji Shan waved his hand and explained to Zhang Yifeng calmly.

"I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Ranji, you've recalled these painful past events."

Zhang Yifeng pursed his lips, stood up apologetically and bowed to Ji Shan.

"No, no, no, Mr. Zhang, please don't do this."

"After all, now that I think about it, there are only good memories between me and my first wife, so there is no question of pain."

Seeing this, Ji Shan laughed and waved his hand at Zhang Yifeng.

Seeing that Ji Shan did not look like he was reminded of any painful memories, Zhang Yifeng sat down.

"Everyone, just eat as much as you want today."

"By the way, let me introduce you to these three people. They are the benefactors who saved Huanying and me when we encountered the black devil on my way back from my trip."

"I'm hosting this banquet today and inviting you all to come, also to thank the three of them for saving my life."

Ji Shan held a wine glass in his hand, stood up and shouted loudly to the people in the audience.

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene immediately became lively again.

After three rounds of drinks, Zhang Yifeng saw that it was almost time, so he couldn't help but calculate the time.

"Manager Ji, I have something to do this time, so I'm afraid I have to go back to my room first."

"Take your time to enjoy the banquet tonight."

Zhang Yifeng stood up, walked to Ji Shan and whispered.

"Ah, Master Zhang, just go ahead. There's no need to tell me all this."

"Although you are a guest of our Ji family, just treat this place as your own home."

Ji Shan chuckled and replied calmly.

"Okay, please accept my hospitality today, Manager Ji."

Zhang Yifeng bowed and turned to leave.
