Chapter 127: Visiting the Fire-maker

Cheng Jiao recalled the four faces that appeared in the original novel when Yanri took off his mask.

Xiaomeng, Xiaoyaozi, Tian Guang, Wang Li.

Wang Li and Xiao Meng can be ruled out, so is it the farmer’s boss Tian Guang or the Human Sect’s leader Xiaoyaozi?

Or perhaps neither!
Ok?
Cheng Jiao suddenly remembered a detail.

"Jingwei, have you ever seen the Sun-Covering Sword?"

Confusion flashed across Jingwei's gentle eyes, and he shook his head: "No, he rarely fights with others. Even when I competed with him, I didn't draw my sword."

So that's how it is. The Sun-Covering Sword may be unique, but there can be many Sun-Covering Sword Scabbards.

The scabbard represents the vest, and the sword body represents the body.

And Yanri's signature moves, Yantu Bi Ri·Yin Sheng Day An and Yin Sheng Yang Mie·Day An Yan Ri, both require the Yanri Sword to activate.

Interesting, I don’t know what all the aliases of Yanri are.

How did Zhao Gao in the later period gain control of the Sun and become the actual controller of Luowang?
"Do you know Zhao Gao?"

Jingwei thought for a moment and said, "I have met him several times. He is quite powerful and is the master of the Six Sword Slaves. The Six Sword Slaves are also among the best among the top masters. If the six of them attack together, even I, who am now, am not sure of winning."

Cheng Jiao sighed softly, this world is so dangerous!
Looking at Jingwei, who needs 10,000 attribute points to enter the realm of heaven and man, he feels a sense of urgency.

"If Yanri and Xuanjian go to Xinzheng, can they find him?"

"It's difficult. Every top-level assassin has his own special way of contacting others. The Luowang branch in Xinzheng had already moved its base before we arrived in Xinzheng."

This net is obviously so strong, but it is overly cautious.

Cheng Jiao decided not to think about it anymore. This guessing game was too annoying.

After being affectionate with Jingwei for a while, I wanted to do something naughty, but Jingwei was wearing a fish-scale soft armor combat suit, so I could only hug and kiss him.

It was already getting dark, and if I didn't go back I'd probably make everyone worry.

Holding Jingwei's little hand and gently tickling her palm, the two of them exchanged glances all the way.

In front of Zilanxuan, Cheng Jiao couldn't help but kiss Jingwei's watery eyes.

Jingwei was caught off guard and closed his eyes subconsciously.

The black and white eyes felt a slight pressure, which made Jingwei's heart pound.

It was the first time for Jingwei to be kissed on the eyes. She had never heard of anyone kissing on the eyes before. It felt so wonderful.

"Master Cheng Jiao, is everything going well?"

Han Fei came closer, not noticing the strangeness in Jingwei's expression.

"It went pretty smoothly. After all, Tianze didn't have much choice."

Zi Nu brewed a cup of tea and held it in front of Cheng Jiao with her fair and delicate hands.

"Don't be careless. Tianze has always been unscrupulous in achieving his goals. I'm afraid he won't follow our wishes."

Cheng Jiao took the tea and found it was just the right temperature, which showed that Zi Nu had blown it through her mouth.

After drinking it all, Jingwei took it and put it on the tea table.

"Even if Tianze wants to cause trouble, he won't act now. At least he won't make any moves before he gets the mother Gu from me. But to prevent any accidents, I plan to act after the tunnel is opened."

Wei Zhuang continued Cheng Jiao's words: "The tunnel is almost finished. Wushuang is very fast. Yan Lingji and I have done some simple reinforcement in the tunnel and buried some small things."

Zhang Liang then said, "The Qin envoys are about to enter Han. They will arrive in Xinzheng in six days at the fastest and eight days at the slowest. They will be welcomed by my grandfather."

Zi Nu knelt beside the desk and said, "I just received news that the Blood Robe Marquis did not search the entire city for Jing Wei and Wei Zhuang, but instead suppressed the matter abnormally."

Han Fei was surprised and said, "This doesn't seem like the style of the Blood-Robed Marquis."

Cheng Jiao was also a little surprised. No wonder the city was so quiet and the Blood-Clothed Marquis could actually swallow his anger.

What everyone didn’t know was that the Blood-Cloaked Marquis naturally couldn’t swallow this humiliation.

Only because a man wearing Qin-style iron armor stopped him. "My Lord, don't be angry. A little impatience can ruin a big plan."

The Blood-Robed Marquis, who had always been arrogant and proud, now restrained his arrogance.

"What is Lord Yanri going to do?"

Although the Blood-Robed Marquis seemed to be chatting and laughing with Yanri, he was actually extremely alert in his heart.

Yanri, the top assassin of Luowang, may not be well-known in the martial arts world, but he is well-known among the top nobles of the seven countries.

He is one of the apparent leaders of Luowang.

This identity alone is enough to make the Blood-Clothed Marquis treat him seriously.

"Your Majesty, why don't you invite Lord Chang'an to come out for a chat tomorrow?"

Marquis Xueyi shook his head: "This boy is cautious. I'm afraid he won't come to the banquet like he did yesterday."

Yanri didn't care: "You can go to another place, such as Zilanxuan or Jubao Pavilion."

The Blood-Robed Marquis's eyes narrowed. If he had not confirmed that the person in front of him was Yanri from Luowang, which made him feel a slight threat, he would have thought it was a traitor from Liusha.

"Why do you do this, sir?"

Yanri didn't say much: "Some secrets are best not to be curious about, the price will be very high."

Marquis Xueyi narrowed his eyes and watched Yanri leave. If it weren't for the lucrative benefits promised by Luowang, he would not have bothered to cooperate with Luowang.

However, since Yanri wanted to meet Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, he also had something he wanted to confirm, the Baiyue treasure, which he cared about very much.

As for whether Yanri would take action to kill Cheng Jiao, Xueyi Hou was not worried.

Because Yanri took the initiative to ask Yemu not to harm Cheng Jiao's life, and the rest was up to him.

This request was very interesting. At least it made Marquis Xueyi vaguely guess that Luowang had a big agenda in this action.

But what does this have to do with him? It doesn’t matter whether Cheng Jiao is dead or alive. What matters is that Ye Mu needs him to take the blame for a crime worth nearly one million gold coins.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Liang and Han Fei returned to their respective homes under the secret protection of their brother Wei Zhuang.

Cheng Jiao found a random excuse and quietly slipped out of Zilanxuan.

He has been using his fire starter as a civil engineer for two or three days, so he needs some comfort.

Jingwei and Zinu sat opposite each other in front of the window, watching Cheng Jiao tiptoeing and couldn't help but smile.

Zi Nu smiled inexplicably, made a cup of hot tea for Jing Wei, and spoke first: "I guess, the young master went to sister Yan Lingji's place."

Jingwei took the teacup handed over by Zi Nu and smiled gently: "Sister Yan Lingji has worked hard these past two days, it is only natural for you to visit her."

Zi Nu was a little surprised at Jing Wei's indulgence towards Cheng Jiao, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she was a little curious.

"Jingwei, how did you get to know the young master?"

Jingwei pursed her moist thin lips and gently told Zinu the story of her and the young master.

As soon as Cheng Jiao entered the courtyard where Yan Lingji was, Yan Lingji appeared in front of Cheng Jiao.

Seeing that it was Cheng Jiao, Yan Lingji breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, why are you here?"

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "I came to see you. You look like you haven't had a rest?"

Yan Lingji shook her head slightly: "Wushuang has just finished, I am checking, it will probably take four or five days to open the tunnel."

Cheng Jiao looked at the ground which had almost risen by half a meter for no reason and was amazed at the unparalleled efficiency.

Then he put his arms around Yan Lingji's slender waist and kissed her on her smooth, flawless face that was like mutton-fat jade.

"Thanks for your hard work."
