Chapter 157: Planned for a long time

Before tea time had passed, the lights in Zi Lan Xuan were back on as before.

It was as if there was just a power outage, and it seemed extremely peaceful in the dark night.

Caidie pushed open the door and said respectfully, "Sister Zi Nu, sir, everything has been taken care of."

Zi Nu nodded lightly: "Go down and comfort the other sisters."

Cheng Jiao was sipping tea. In addition to a group of girls who knew kung fu, there were also some girls in Zilanxuan who did not know kung fu but were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc. In short, as long as they were not lazy and could show their usefulness, they would be kept in Zilanxuan by Zi Nu.

For example, Hongyu has no talent for martial arts, but she is efficient and decisive in her work, and her talent for playing the piano is even better than that of Caidie. She is deeply admired by Nongyu and has become Nongyu's apprentice. Occasionally, she will teach Caidie to play the piano for Nongyu.

Caidie is a skilled female killer in Zilanxuan. After following Chengjiao, Zinu became interested in her. Now she can basically help Zinu deal with some shady issues.

Although Zi Nu is kind-hearted, she also understands that the world is very cold.

Yingge and Moya stood in front of Cheng Jiao, both silent.

Han Fei shouted coldly: "Are you planning to cooperate with Night to destroy Liusha?"

Cheng Jiao said calmly: "Brother Han, don't get angry. Listen to what Mo Ya has to say first."

Mo Ya was very calm: "My two lords, this is Ye Mu testing us, maybe he wants to silence us."

Wei Zhuang: "Probing? Interesting."

Yingge said solemnly: "If Ye Mu really wanted to destroy Liusha, he wouldn't play it so lightly."

Han Fei's expression relaxed, which made Cheng Jiao admire that Brother Han's acting skills were no less than Yingge Moya.

"Jingwei, bring Red Owl here."

Mo Ya and Ying Ge both felt nervous. Was the Red Owl caught?
Jingwei heard Chengjiao's instructions and threw the red owl in front of Moya and Yingge from the eaves outside the window.

Cheng Jiao looked at the red owl that looked like a dead dog, "Is it not dead?"

Jingwei shook his head: "He is still breathing, but just unconscious, not dead yet."

"Liwu, wake him up."

When Li Wu heard Cheng Jiao's order, she picked up the kettle beside her for making tea and poured it on the red owl.

Seeing the scalded red owl rolling on the ground, everyone present's eyelids jumped.

The corner of Mo Ya's mouth twitched. He knew that Hong Xiao cared most about his face that was as good as a woman's. Now that he was almost disfigured by Li Wu, he probably wanted to die.

Li Wu was a little embarrassed: "Hey, sir, I didn't know there was boiling water here."

She wasn't a cruel and ruthless female devil, but now everyone looked at her with fear in their eyes, which made her feel helpless.

Cheng Jiao coughed lightly and said, "This won't happen again. This guy won't survive anyway."

Red Owl had just caught his breath when he heard Cheng Jiao say he wanted to kill him. He suddenly became afraid and endured the severe pain in his body.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

Cheng Jiao looked at the red owl crawling at his feet and said, "Give me a reason."

Red Owl said quickly: "I report it, I expose it, Mo Ya and Ying Ge are the traitors sent by Ji Wuye to infiltrate Liusha."

The air became frozen and even Cheng Jiao was speechless. "Are you, Red Owl, here to ruin my plan?"

"Is what Black Crow, Parrot Song, and Red Owl said true?"

Yingge immediately said: "Red Owl is the most loyal to Ji Wuye."

Mo Ya continued, "He knew he was going to die, so he bit back and completed the task Ji Wuye assigned to him."

Cheng Jiao was stunned by what Yingge and Moya said. These two were so smart.

Han Fei and Cheng Jiao looked at each other, and Han Fei said, "Red Owl, what do you want to say?"

Red Owl was blamed by Mo Ya and Ying Ge, and gritted his teeth and said, "Whether it was the general surrounding Zi Lan Xuan, or letting Bai Feng and I raid Zi Lan Xuan at night, all of this was planned by Ying Ge and Mo Ya."

In order to survive, Red Owl didn't care about so many things. He was just Ji Wuye's dog, but not Ji Wuye's loyal dog.

Cheng Jiao suddenly asked, "Is the map real?"

Red Owl said subconsciously: "It's true."

After saying that, his expression changed and he looked at Yingge and Moya with some fear.

Cheng Jiao sighed and said, "Mo Ya, Ying Ge, I will give you one chance. Kill the red owl. I will trust you for now."

The black crow shot out a bird feather talisman without hesitation, cutting the throat of the red owl.

The Red Owl's eyes gradually became blurred, but his eyes were fixed on the Black Crow and Yingge. He had been tricked.

Yingge had a blank expression on her face, but she was relieved in her heart. The map was indeed real. As for the key information about the thousand-jin copper gate on it, she was the only one who knew that Ji Wuye had erased it. Fortunately, Ji Wuye did not tell Hongxiao, otherwise the plan would have changed greatly.

Cheng Jiao also breathed a sigh of relief. The performance that was supposed to be coordinated almost went wrong. If he had known earlier, he would have let Jingwei get rid of this guy right away.

"In that case, I will give you a task."

While Cheng Jiao was talking, Zi Nu asked Cai Die and Hong Yu to come and deal with the body of the red owl.

Yingge smiled and said, "Please give your orders, sir."

Cheng Jiao looked at the pure and lovely Yingge and said leisurely, "Let's make a scene in the general's mansion tomorrow night."

Yingge's smile froze.

Mo Ya said, "Lord Chang'an, it's just that Yingge and I will probably be captured and killed by the personal guards and hidden weapons in the general's mansion before we even start making trouble."

Cheng Jiao smiled inexplicably: "Jingwei and Wei Zhuang will supervise you." Yingge thought for a moment, does this require her to make a pledge of allegiance to Mo Ya again?
"I will follow your orders, sir."

Mo Ya obviously realized this and agreed with Yingge.

It's just a token of surrender! Just do it!

Cheng Jiao waved his hand: "You guys go down."

Mo Ya and Ying Ge were taken away by Zi Nu, and the atmosphere in the room eased.

Han Fei smiled and said, "I'm afraid they still think we are still testing them."

Cheng Jiao knelt down and said, "I don't want to continue acting. I'm so exhausted."

Zi Nu came in carrying a wine pot, and Nanyue followed behind with two plates of cakes.

"It's late at night, let's talk while eating."

Cheng Jiao watched Zi Nu and Nong Yu set out the wine and food.

"I've already talked about Tianze, I wonder how things are going with Brother Han?"

Han Fei took out the Blue Sea Coral Bottle from somewhere and filled himself up very consciously.

"Miss Zi Nu has already told me the plan. All I can do is to put the blame on Tian Ze in front of my father."

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "This is the key point. Although your father is old, he is not a fool."

Han Fei sighed: "Father has paid attention to Jubao Pavilion, and he also knows that Jubao Pavilion has accumulated countless wealth of the nobles and royal families."

Wei Zhuang knelt down and drank a sip of wine: "Your father wants to use this to strike a blow against Night? How naive."

Han Fei smiled bitterly: "Although it is naive, it is also a very normal idea. Night has taken root in South Korea for a long time. Unless South Korea is united, it will be impossible to get rid of Night."

Wei Zhuang looked at Han Fei and said, "I don't think your father wants to get rid of Ye Mu either. He still likes the art of weighing pros and cons. One of the reasons why Shen Buhai's reform failed was that he placed too much emphasis on "techniques". It's really the same lineage."

Han Fei thought of his Ni Lin sword and sighed, "The incident has become a thing of the past. Who can explain it clearly?"

"Shen Dao emphasizes power, Shen Buhai emphasizes tactics, Shang Yang emphasizes law, I wonder which path Brother Han is going to take?"

As Cheng Jiao listened, he became curious about what decision Han Fei would make.

“We should combine the law, technique and situation. In short, we should grasp the law, deal with the situation and use the technique.”

Han Fei stated the core of his academic thought without hesitation.

Wei Zhuang looked at Han Fei who was full of confidence and said, "Is this why you proposed the laws of heaven and earth, and implemented them without slacking off, using tactics to identify treachery and using punishment to stop punishment?"

"Yes, I agree with the teacher's view that human nature is evil."

Cheng Jiao was a little dazed. He had to admit that not only did he have no talent in military affairs, he was also a lame duck in academics.

Nongyu was discussing music theory with Li Wu, while Yan Lingji was sitting on the window swaying her white legs out of boredom.

Jingwei has returned to the house and is taking care of Xiaoyaner with Ali.

Zi Nu poured Cheng Jiao a cup of orchid wine and said with a smile: "Why are you talking about this? We should first solve the problem at hand before we can move on."

Han Fei put down his wine glass: "Miss Zi Nu is right."

Wei Zhuang: "Don't be careless about Tianze. According to the information from Qi Jue Tang, Tianze and his men are not at peace."

Cheng Jiao didn't care: "If Tianze did his job honestly, I wouldn't dare to use him to take the first blame."

Zi Nu pinched a piece of orchid cake and fed it to Cheng Jiao: "The manpower and vehicles have been arranged and can be used at any time. But where should we put this wealth after taking it out? Although Zi Lan Xuan can put it, it will easily expose the target."

Cheng Jiao embraced Zi Nu into his arms and lightly touched her forehead with his finger.

"Do you remember that I said I would give you another Zi Lan Xuan?"

Zi Nu suddenly realized: "Lanxiu Villa outside the city is indeed a suitable place to store this wealth."

Cheng Jiao continued, "There are also a dozen Qin guards I brought with me. I have basically secretly controlled the place for a long time. There are no outsiders."

Han Fei was impressed: "Master Cheng Jiao is very meticulous and has foreshadowed many places. Even I almost overlooked this place."

Wei Zhuang made an opinion: "Lanxiu Villa was once the property of the Emerald Tiger. It is only a matter of time before it is discovered."

Cheng Jiao: "No problem. As long as we can hide it for a few days, we can find a way to move it to another place."
-
Bai Feng stood alone in front of Ji Wuye. She discovered for the first time how powerful Mo Ya was. She was able to face Ji Wuye's capricious actions calmly.

"Bai Feng, now Mo Ya and Ying Ge have already penetrated into the interior of the Quicksand with the cooperation of this general, but no news has come out yet?"

Bai Feng was speechless. How could someone deliver a letter as soon as he entered the room?

"General, there has been no movement yet. Liusha is still very wary of Mo Ya and Yingge. Even if Red Owl and I conduct a night attack tonight according to the plan left by Mo Ya, Liusha does not seem to trust Mo Ya very much."

Ji Wuye also knew that it was difficult to break into the Quicksand in a short period of time, but he never liked to wait too long.

"The Red Owl is dead. I don't want this plan to fail, nor do I want to change the four leaders of the Hundred Birds."

Bai Feng felt a little heavy-hearted under the oppression of Ji Wuye's murderous and evil spirit.

"Bai Feng understands."

Ji Wuye waved his hand: "Go down, you don't have much time."

After Bai Feng left, a man wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat slowly walked in.

"General, the news you requested has arrived."
