Chapter 135: Facing the Blood-Robed Marquis
Zilanxuan in the evening should have been a place of decadence, debauchery and revelry.

Now it is deserted, with no one passing by.

Only the birds of the night were watching in secret, and the fully armed personal guards of the Blood-Robed Marquis, in teams of three, were patrolling around the Zi Lan Xuan and stopping all kinds of outsiders.

Cheng Jiao drank the orchid wine prepared by Zi Nu, slowly sipping it sip by sip.

He was waiting to see how the Blood-Clothed Marquis would arrive.

All kinds of backup plans have been prepared, unless the Blood-Robed Marquis disregards the rules and mobilizes the army to surround Zi Lan Xuan within the royal city.

If the Blood-Robed Marquis really did this, the opponents and enemies in the night, both openly and secretly, would undoubtedly be the happiest.

Today you are Zi Lan Xuan, tomorrow you may be a prince or noble.

People value their lives and have a sense of crisis.

Cheng Jiao saw that Zi Nu had a tense face all the time and looked a little absent-minded at times.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

He held Zi Nu in his arms and played with her hanging hair.

The other hand stroked Zi Nu's thighs, which were covered with black pantyhose. The texture of the pantyhose was very good.

"I'm not scared, I'm worried."

Zi Nu leaned on Cheng Jiao's chest, and her fingertips gently stroked Cheng Jiao's chest.

Cheng Jiao joked: "What's there to worry about? At worst we can travel around the world together."

Zi Nu was helpless.

"You, at this hour, you are still in the mood to flirt and joke."

Cheng Jiao kissed Zi Nu on her rosy little lips.

Just as he was about to say something else, Nongyu came in.

Looking at Zi Nu in Cheng Jiao's arms, her face was slightly red and her head was lowered.

"Sister, the time is almost up. Master Han Fei and Master Zhang Liang asked me to come and invite you."

Zi Nu has experienced acting like a little woman in front of Nong Yu many times, and she has gotten used to it.

She left Cheng Jiao's arms naturally and tidied his clothes.

"With Han Fei and Zhang Liang accompanying him, the Bloody Marquis will be cautious."

Cheng Jiao pinched Zi Nu's soft and warm little hand.

"One is the ninth prince of the Korean royal family, the other is the heir of the prime minister for five generations. And I am the Chang'an Lord of Qin who is only famous. The Blood-Robed Marquis does not have the courage to take action openly, even with the support of Luowang."

Zi Nu said softly, "That's why I asked Han Fei and Zhang Liang to come together, but you still have to be careful."

Cheng Jiao nodded with a smile and followed Nong Yu to the first floor of Zi Lan Xuan.

Without the graceful and charming sisters-in-law on the first floor, Cheng Jiao felt a little lost.

There was only one desk in the huge space, and Han Fei and Zhang Liang were kneeling beside it.

One person was careless, the other was sitting upright.

Seeing Cheng Jiao coming down, Han Fei smiled and said, "Master Cheng Jiao, are you willing to leave Miss Zi Nu's gentle embrace?"

Cheng Jiao looked at the Azure Sea Coral Bottle in front of Han Fei and snorted, "You want to give me the Azure Sea Coral Bottle again?"

Han Fei quickly protected his beloved wine glass.

It was with great difficulty that we confirmed that Cheng Jiao had really returned it to him, so how could it be taken back again?

"Master Cheng Jiao, you are joking. I am here with Zifang to drink with you. We cannot take away someone's love!"

Cheng Jiao smiled and said jokingly: "Yes, a gentleman does not take away what others like, but is happy to help others achieve their goals."

Han Fei's face became serious as he listened to the familiar lines.

"I'm afraid the Bloody Robe Marquis has come with ill intentions."

Cheng Jiao didn't care: "Everyone knows."

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said, "I guess it might be related to Luo Wang's actions in Xinzheng."

Han Fei nodded: "Yes, Luowang has been active in Xinzheng these days, and it seems that they are planning some action."

Zhang Liang frowned: "At first I thought Luo Wang was going to assassinate domestic politicians, but I didn't find any signs of this. Instead."

Cheng Jiao continued, "Instead, you found that all the signs pointed to me, right?" Han Fei shook his head slightly, "I really don't know what Luo Wang is trying to do. Together with Ye Mu, they have made Xinzheng so chaotic."

Cheng Jiao's face was calm. He naturally understood who Luo Wang's target was, his current brother, King Zheng of Qin.

This matter is of great importance, and he will not tell it easily.

What confused him was that in the original novel, Luowang didn't seem to make any big move.

He only sent Ba Linglong, who was the first-class Xuan Jian.

The real killer move was Wang Xi, who was in charge of the Pingyang heavy armored army.

But now, even because of my appearance and even with Jingwei, it is not worth Luowang making such a big fuss.

As if afraid that I wouldn't notice it.

If he were to make the arrangements, the fewer people the better, just like the last time when people tried to assassinate him, there were only Qiansha Jingniu Xuanjian Yanri.

Um, it seems there are quite a lot of people.
The three of them were silent, and no one knew what they were thinking.

There was no food on the table, only a pot of sake.

The door of Zilanxuan was pushed open.

Pale complexion, pale hair, blood-red lips.

He was dressed in a red robe, alternating red and black, and wearing a simple yet enchanting crown, which fully displayed the evil charm and arrogance of the Blood-Robed Marquis.

The Blood-Clothed Marquis, wearing military boots, came up to Cheng Jiao and the other two with an elegant smile.

"Lord Chang'an, Ninth Young Master, Mr. Zhang Liang, I've been waiting for a long time."

Seeing and listening to the Blood-Robed Marquis' polite behavior, the three of them were a little surprised.

According to the character of the Blood-Clothed Marquis in the past, even if he came, he would be very dignified and not be so polite as he is now.

Han Fei said first, "I heard that the Marquis was coming. It happened that Zifang and I were also here, so I came uninvited. I wanted to meet Chang'an Jun and have a drink with the Marquis. I hope it's not too rude."

Marquis Xueyi chuckled: "I am able to let you come here uninvited, it seems that I am being rude."

Han Fei and Zhang Liang did not show any change in expression. It was normal for the Blood-Cloaked Marquis to see their purpose for being here.

Sure enough, politeness is only on the surface, and the real killer moves are hidden in the heart.

Cheng Jiao spoke up: "My Lord, you came to visit me tonight. I don't know why."

The Blood-Clothed Marquis did not answer, but poured himself a glass of wine.

"I have heard that the orchid wine from Zilanxuan is the best wine, but I have never had the chance to taste it."

When Cheng Jiao saw the Blood-Clothed Marquis, he talked about wine.

"If the Marquis likes it, I will send a few jars to the Marquis's residence."

Marquis Xueyi snorted coldly, "My mansion was set on fire by thieves. I don't know if this wine was used to do it."

Cheng Jiao thought to himself, it wasn't wine that was used, it was kerosene. Brother Wei Zhuang's kick was so cool, the kerosene jar hit the goal directly.

Zhang Liang said nothing, as if he did not exist.

Although Zhang Liang was of noble status, he was a descendant of the Zhang family, a family that had been prime ministers for five generations.

But everyone here is more noble than him.

As a mascot, he consciously listened rather than spoke.

Han Fei suddenly raised his head and drank the whole glass of wine, feeling a little tipsy.

"Hey! What are you talking about? Drink it first. Han Fei offers a drink to the Marquis."

The Blood-Clothed Marquis ignored Han Fei, which made Han Fei feel a little embarrassed.

"Lord Chang'an, I am not here to see you, but someone else has asked me to come here. He wants to see you, young master."

Cheng Jiao narrowed his eyes. As expected, given the Blood-Robed Marquis's personality, there was no way he would take the initiative to visit him.

"I wonder who has the face to invite the Marquis."
