Chapter 155: Surrounding Zi Lan Xuan

Cheng Jiao took a sip of the Snow-Top Silver Shuttle that Zi Nu had prepared for him.

"Brother Han is smart. He is indeed Xiang Jun, the local elder of the Yin-Yang family."

Han Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Master Cheng Jiao, this is not a joke."

Yan Lingji stood behind Cheng Jiao and placed her fair little hands on his shoulders and neck.

"Is the Ninth Young Master afraid?"

Han Fei's face became serious. "Among all the schools of thought, the Yin-Yang School is the most mysterious. Many of them practice strange and unusual techniques, which are hard to guard against. If you offend the Yin-Yang School, you will probably have trouble sleeping and eating."

Cheng Jiao thought to himself, you are the one who has offended the Yin-Yang family the most. Killing a few elders is not as good as the secret of the Blue Dragon's Seven Stars that you have discovered.

He made up a lie and said, "No problem. According to him, the Yin-Yang family is preparing to enter Qin. Once I am sure of this, I will release him."

As for when he will be sure, that depends on his mood or when he gets the information he wants.

Han Fei was stunned. The Yin-Yang School wanted to enter Qin? He thought of many things in an instant, and finally sighed. The strong became stronger and the weak became weaker. South Korea's future might be even more difficult.

"Ah! Master Cheng Jiao, Han will need to rely on you more in the future. Han will definitely not treat Chang'an Jun unfairly."

Cheng Jiao sighed as he listened to Han Fei's words, which sounded like a joke but also like a serious request.

"Cheng Jiao tried his best."

Han Fei did not continue speaking. Some things should be said only briefly; saying more would bore people.

Wei Zhuang opened the door and walked in, glancing at Cheng Jiao.

"Yingge, the black crow is waiting for you."

Cheng Jiao and Zi Nu looked at each other and smiled.

"I didn't expect it to be so soon. I thought it would take a few days."

Zi Nu stood up and said: "This time even Mo Ya, the leader of all birds, is here. It seems that Ji Wuye has really made up his mind. I will go and bring them over."

Jingwei, who was kneeling beside Cheng Jiao, placed the Jingwei sword within reach without leaving any trace.

Mo Ya's body was covered in blood and he looked weak. He was supported by Ying Ge.

Yingge first saw Cheng Jiao, then Jingwei beside Cheng Jiao, Yan Lingji who was massaging Cheng Jiao's shoulders behind him, and Li Wu who was teasing Xiao Hei.

She knew that the women around Cheng Jiao were beautiful, but she didn't expect them to be such stunning beauties. Compared with them, the women in the general's mansion were all mediocre.

Xiao Hei meowed at Yingge, as if reminding the poor woman to run away quickly.

"Yingge greets Lord Chang'an, the Ninth Young Master."

Cheng Jiao raised his eyelids and asked, "Did you bring the things?"

Yingge quickly took out a scroll from his arms.

"Brought it."

Zi Nu took it and handed it to Cheng Jiao.

After the deal was done, a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

Although the wealth in the Treasure Pavilion is marked above, there are some deviations.

The wealth in the pavilion was clearly visible, but the secret room where the real wealth was stored was not marked and was sealed with a thousand-jin copper gate.

If someone is unaware and unprepared, even if they find the secret room, they will probably waste a lot of time here, causing the plan to fail.

"Yeah, that's right, what's going on with Mo Ya?"

Yingge was relieved to see that Cheng Jiao did not doubt the map of nine true and one hidden.

It seems that Cheng Jiao had indeed been to Jubao Pavilion and knew some of the layout inside. Fortunately, she was cautious by nature and did not make a fake map. Instead, she reported it to Ji Wuye, hid the key points, and used the real map to gain Cheng Jiao's trust.

"Sir, we were able to obtain the map entirely thanks to Mo Ya. If Mo Ya hadn't taken action personally, I'm afraid Ying Ge would not only not have been able to obtain the map, but would have been captured by Ji Wuye instead."

Cheng Jiao was very interested: "Mo Ya, are you really going to betray Ji Wuye?"

Mo Ya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "It's not that I intend to betray the general, but the general forced me to betray. Yingge is my sister, and I don't want to see her sacrifice her life for me. Mo Ya only hopes that you can treat Yingge well in the future."

Cheng Jiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Yingge, come into my arms."

He knew that Mo Ya and Ying Ge had feelings for each other. Seeing Mo Ya's calm expression, if he hadn't noticed the trap on the map, he would probably have really sighed at the brother-sister relationship between Mo Ya and Ying Ge.

Mo Ya's eyes were calm as he looked at Ying Ge like a little bird relying on its mother. He snuggled into Cheng Jiao's arms and even consciously pinched an orange to feed Cheng Jiao.

"Master, Yingge has really become yours this time. I hope you can take care of Moya."

Cheng Jiao held the orange in his mouth and kissed Yingge on her delicate little mouth.

Some orange juice seeped out and stuck to Yingge's pink thin lips. Yingge subconsciously pursed her lips, and a hint of sweetness permeated her heart.

"Of course, you will be my woman from now on, and Mo Ya will be my brother-in-law, so the whole family will naturally take good care of you."

Jingwei, Yan Lingji, Li Wu and Zi Nu watched Cheng Jiao and Ying Ge talking about love.

Everyone had different thoughts, but one idea came to their mind: this was just a casual act, could Cheng Jiao be going to turn it into real life?
Before they could think more, Nongyu pushed the door open and came in in a panic.

"Sister Zi Nu, it's bad. Ji Wuye and the city guards have surrounded Zi Lan Xuan."

The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

Jingwei's energy was locked onto Yingge in Chengjiao's arms. If Yingge made any unusual movement, blood would be splattered on the spot.

Cheng Jiao held Yingge's hand and looked at him straight in the eye: "What's going on?"

Being pressed so closely by Jingwei, Yingge felt his hair stand on end. He swallowed hard and forced himself to calm down. "Mo Ya and I escaped from Ji Wuye's mansion. Maybe Ji Wuye discovered our whereabouts."

Cheng Jiao couldn't tell for a moment whether Yingge was on Ji Wuye's side or someone who had really defected to his side.

"Li Wuyan Lingji, you stay with Yingge and Moya. Jingniu Zinu, come with me to meet Ji Wuye."

Han Fei stood up at the same time and followed Cheng Jiao side by side with Wei Zhuang.

In a short period of time, there was no one left on the first floor of Zilanxuan. The empty feeling made people feel very uncomfortable.

Ji Wuye rode a warhorse and blocked the entrance of Zilanxuan.

Seeing Cheng Jiao coming out, he looked at Jing Wei with some fear.

"Chang'an Jun, you are also in Zilan Pavilion? I hope I didn't disturb your pleasure."

"I wonder what the general wants to do by surrounding Zi Lan Xuan in the middle of the night? Zi Lan Xuan's proprietress Zi Nu is my woman, doesn't the general know that?"

The flesh on Ji Wuye's face trembled, "Oh? This general really didn't know. Since Lord Chang'an has come forward, this general will not make things difficult for Zi Lan Xuan. Today, a thief broke into this general's mansion and stole things. It is suspected that it is related to the murder of the prince. I received news that the thief entered Zi Lan Xuan. I hope Lord Chang'an will give face and let this general go in to search."

Han Fei came over from behind at this time.

"General Ji, I have just searched Zi Lan Xuan. There are only girls inside, and no thieves were found. Are you just making up stories?"

Ji Wuye snorted coldly, "This is about the Crown Prince's case. Even if it's just hearsay, we must investigate it thoroughly."

Han Fei said calmly, "My father has ordered me to investigate the assassination of my brother. Did General Ji overstep his authority?"

Ji Wuye's expression remained calm: "As an important minister of the Kingdom of Han, even if the king did not order me to handle the case of the crown prince, it is my duty to investigate clues and assist in the investigation."

Cheng Jiao chuckled and said, "Brother Han, it seems that General Ji doesn't take you seriously as a Sikou. General Ji really has the final say in Han State."

Ji Wuye's eyes narrowed, "Chang'an Jun, please don't talk nonsense. South Korea is the king's South Korea, so naturally the king has the final say."

Han Fei put one hand behind his back and said, "In this case, General Ji, do you still insist on searching Zi Lan Xuan? Don't let other countries laugh at you."

Ji Wuye put away his sword and said, "Since Lord Sikou has already searched, I will not waste my time and will gather my troops to defend."

The city guards came and left quickly, and the streets were deserted, as if they had never been there.

Han Fei narrowed his eyes and watched Ji Wuye leave.

“It was a really good show.”

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "Brother Han also noticed it?"

Han Fei shook his head: "If Ji Wuye hadn't done this, I wouldn't be sure whether Yingge and Moya were sincere or not. I can only say that they were just being too smart."

Zi Nu, who had been silent the whole time, came to Cheng Jiao and said, "If we hadn't known Ying Ge's background in advance, we probably wouldn't have been able to tell that Ji Wuye was covering for Ying Ge so easily."

Han Fei nodded: "Indeed, even if we react, it will probably be too late."

Cheng Jiao held Zi Nu's flexible waist.

"Okay, stop talking. Yingge and Moya are probably getting impatient."

Nanyue watched the tense atmosphere dissipate, and her heart was relieved. The incident happened suddenly, and she was a little caught off guard. She really thought that there would be swords and sabers tonight.

When Ji Wuye left, Wei Zhuang had already returned to the room to prevent any harm to Mo Ya and Ying Ge.

When Yingge saw Cheng Jiao coming in with Zi Nu in his arms, he asked nervously, "Sir, are you okay?"

Cheng Jiao patted Yingge's shoulders and back.

"It's over. As long as you're in Zi Lan Xuan, you don't have to worry about Ji Wuye coming over. Take Mo Ya to heal his wounds first, and come over later. I have something to ask you."

Yingge nodded obediently: "Yingge understands."

While Yingge was helping him out, Mo Ya glanced at everyone in the room without leaving a trace.

He vaguely sensed that something was wrong. The plan went so smoothly that it made him feel uneasy.

Yingge followed Zinu to a side room. After Zinu left, Yingge was about to speak, but Mo Ya, who had returned to normal, made a gesture to keep quiet.

Mo Ya quickly checked the facilities in the house, and when he found that everything was normal, his brows frowned even deeper.

Yingge looked at Mo Ya's cautious expression and asked, "Did something happen?"

Mo Ya shook his head: "No."

"then you?"

"Didn't you notice? This plan went very smoothly."

"It seems so."

Yingge recalled the past few days and found that Cheng Jiao seemed to be cooperating with them intentionally or unintentionally, to the point of being abnormal.

Seeing Mo Ya's frown, Ying Ge advised: "Maybe we are overthinking it."

Just as Mo Ya was about to say something, a wound on his body burst open, causing him to gasp.

He was really injured, and the injury was not light. He was not stupid enough to think that the fake injury could be hidden from the eyes of Wei Zhuang and Jing Wei.

Yingge silently took out the healing medicine and simply treated Mo Ya.

The injuries on Mo Ya's body were caused by her personally. Although they seemed serious, they could actually recover quickly.

She is also very cautious in this regard.
