Chapter 162 Arsonist

"Changan Jun is punctual as always."

Situ Wanli greeted Cheng Jiao.

After Cheng Jiao sat down, Tian Mi sat next to him consciously and poured him a glass of wine.

Cheng Jiao drank a cup and put his arm around Tian Mi's waist.

"Master Situ, you are too polite. I wonder if you have made the arrangements?"

Situ Wanli smiled and said, "It's a small matter. As long as there is unrest in Ji Wuye's mansion, the Nong family's disciples in Xinzheng will spread the news."

Cheng Jiao nodded slightly. In terms of the number of disciples among the various schools of thought, the Mohist school is now the number one in the world, followed by the Nong school.

The farming family, who is known as the Beggars' Gang during the Qin Dynasty, has no shortage of spies and manpower in Xinzheng, so it would be best for them to do these real and fake things.

"Master Situ, Cheng Jiao will not hide the truth from you now. I don't know how many gold coins I can get this time."

Situ Wanli said: "This is a gamble in itself. As long as we can get the stakes, it doesn't matter how much."

"Haha, even so, I will tell Master Situ the truth for Tian Mi's sake. There are about 600,000 gold coins in the Treasure Pavilion. If I cooperate with Tianze, Tianze will take three. If I cooperate with Liusha, Liusha will take four. If I cooperate with the Nongjia, the Nongjia will take one and I will take two."

Cheng Jiao made up a distribution casually. Anyway, Situ Wanli couldn't ask Tianze and Liusha about it.

Situ Wanli made a calculation in his mind.

"I wonder how many gold coins you are sure you can get from the Treasure Pavilion?"

"Master Situ knows that the wealth in the Treasure Pavilion is not just gold coins, but also a large number of gold cakes, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. If everything goes well, we should be able to get 300,000 gold coins. Therefore, Master Situ can get at least 30,000 gold coins."

Cheng Jiao made up another number without any hindrance. Actually, it was not a lie. This was the price he could afford to invest in Tian Mi. If it was more, he would be heartbroken. But as long as Tian Mi could climb to the top of the Farmers' Heroes, even if she could only become one of the six hall masters, this deal would not be a loss.

Situ Wanli smiled widely. Just by mobilizing the peasant disciples in Xinzheng, he could earn 30,000 gold coins. It was pretty good. It could definitely be considered the biggest profit he had ever made in his life.

"But I have one condition."

Situ Wanli was startled: "Changan Jun, please speak."

"The 30,000 gold coins given to Hall Master Situ should be exchanged for gold cakes, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings. I don't have as many people as the farmers, and it's inconvenient to move with these in my hands."

Situ Wanli smiled and nodded: "Of course, the farm has enough manpower. If Master Cheng Jiao needs help transporting the money, I can use my personal strength to help you."

"Don't worry about that, Master Situ. Cheng Jiao has other things to do, so he'll leave first. Tian Mi is at the farm, so I'll ask Brother Situ to take care of her. Someone will deliver the 30,000 gold coins tonight. If it's not enough, we'll make it up tomorrow."

After Cheng Jiao finished speaking, he kissed Tian Mi on her pretty face and patted her long, slender, round and elastic legs.

"Take good care of yourself, understand?"

Tian Mizhen lowered her head and replied respectfully, "Tian Mi is waiting for you, sir."

Situ Wanli smiled as he watched Cheng Jiao's ambiguous hints to Tian Mi. In his heart, he respected Tian Mi even more, but at the same time he became more alert. Tian Mi might look weak, but she was actually more cruel than a man.

When Cheng Jiao left, Tian Mi quickly expressed her loyalty.

"Master, what Chang'an Jun gave is too little. How could it be only 300,000 gold coins?"

Situ Wanli shook his head gently: "Tian Mi, if you can see it, I can see it too. Since Cheng Jiao has already mentioned 300,000 gold coins, then it is 300,000 gold coins. Being a man requires contentment, and gambling requires determination. It is beyond my expectation that you can give me 30,000 gold coins. It seems that Chang'an Jun is really good to you."

Tian Mi pursed her lips and chuckled in her heart.

She said this just to follow Cheng Jiao's instructions, so that Situ Wanli would value her and let her win over one person first, and support her when the six halls use the Yan Emperor Jue to vote for the position of the chief hero in the future.

As for why Cheng Jiao planned this, Tian Mi was also confused. If the Yan Emperor Jue was used to vote for the position of the chief hero, unless the current chief hero died suddenly before the next chief hero was determined, there would be no chance for the Yan Emperor Jue to be used.

She has already sent the letter to Tian Meng, the head of Lieshan Hall. If nothing unexpected happens, she will receive news in a few days.

Situ Wanli saw Tian Mi lowering her head and keeping silent.

"Tian Mi, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah, Tian Mi is wondering when Tian Meng will reply."

Situ Wanli didn't care: "Although Tian Meng is quite rational, he has a bad temper and cares about interests. He will not disagree with your plan. It will be beneficial to him. After all, he is the head of Lieshan Hall, and I am only the head of a branch under Siyue Hall."

Tian Mi smiled and said, "When Tian Mi gains the trust of Tian Meng and enters Lieshan Hall, she will definitely help Master Situ ascend to the position of Master of Siyue Hall. It is said that Tian Meng's brother Tian Hu is brave but not wise, straightforward and impulsive, with a hot temper, and can be used."

Situ Wanli waved his hand and said, "Don't make trouble. There is no two suns in the sky, and there is a fierce tiger in the field. This saying is not a rumor. After you enter Lieshan Hall, lie dormant for a while, and I will help you gain some merit. I heard that Zhu Zhong, the adopted son of the Zhu family, is pursuing you. You can try to take advantage of this. In addition to Lieshan Hall to which Tian Meng belongs, the Shennong Hall controlled by the eldest brother of the Zhu family is the most powerful among the farmers. If you can get the support of Shennong Hall and cooperate with it secretly, it is not impossible for you to take the position of the head of the first hall of the farmers."

"Tian Mi understands."

Tian Mi smiled, but she was a little scared of Cheng Jiao's plan. With Cheng Jiao's help, and the support of Shennong Hall and Siyue Hall, it seemed possible for her to become the leader of the Nongjia. Thinking of this, Tian Mi was very excited. Cheng Jiao's appearance ignited her desire to get a high position.
-
After leaving Tian Mi, Cheng Jiao did not return to Zilanxuan. Instead, he turned around and sneaked into the palace under the cover of night.

Although the palace guards had been strengthened recently, Cheng Jiao was well prepared and was able to slip in without any hindrance.

He was still a little worried about Madam Mingzhu, so just in case, he decided to comfort her possibly restless heart first.
-
Tianze came out from the dark corner with the King of Poisons and the Corpse-Driving Demon.

Zi Nu crossed her arms and looked at the former abandoned crown prince of Baiyue, the Red Eyebrow Dragon Snake Red Eyebrow Lord who was granted the title of a lord.

"Master has already given instructions. I have arranged vehicles and personnel. As long as you break into the Treasure Pavilion, someone will come to pick you up."

Tianze said coldly, "I just went to Jubao Pavilion to observe. The guards outside are strict and there are secret guards everywhere. There are shadowy figures in the attic. It will take too long for the three of us to break in."

Zi Nu chuckled and said, "My lord, you have already thought about it. You just need to act according to the plan."

Tianze narrowed his eyes: "Give me the antidote."

"Before you set off, someone will bring you the antidote."

After Zi Nu finished speaking, she disappeared into the darkness. Only the "tapping" sound of her high heels echoed in the alley for a few times before disappearing.

The King of Hundred Poisons and the Corpse-Driving Demon glanced at each other without leaving a trace behind Tianze.

They all sighed in their hearts. The once high-spirited Prince of Baiyue, the Red Eyebrow Dragon Snake, is now being used as a gun by others and has little room for bargaining.

Zi Nu left Tianze and did not return to Zi Lan Xuan, but went to the courtyard where Yan Ling Ji was, which was the highlight of the night.
-
Mo Ya and Ying Ge squatted on a big tree outside Ji Wuye's mansion, and glanced at Wei Zhuang who was leaning against the wall with a sword in the shadow of the alley in the distance, and Jing Wei who was sitting on the courtyard wall watching them.

Mo Ya whispered to Ying Ge, "I have already made arrangements with Bai Feng. When we sneak in, just stir up trouble and sabotage, and don't take action if you can run. The general will not use the dangerous hidden weapons and mechanisms in the general's mansion before Jing Wei and Wei Zhuang take action."

Yingge nodded: "It's time Cheng Jiao said, let's go in."

When Mo Ya and Ying Ge sneaked into the general's mansion in a low-key manner, Wei Zhuang put on his hood and couldn't help but sneer.

The small courtyard behind Jingwei is a secret base of Qijuetang, where a large number of kerosene barrels are hidden.

The door of the courtyard was opened by two disciples from Qi Jue Tang, who carried out many wooden barrels the size of basketballs.

Jingwei and Wei Zhuang stood beside the kerosene barrel and waited for a while, when suddenly shouting came from the general's mansion.

Soon, flames were everywhere and the crowd was talking.

Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou sneered from a high place, watching Mo Ya and Ying Ge moving among the crowd and causing trouble.

The Blood-Robed Marquis held his hand behind his back and said, "This subordinate of the general is very good. He is brave, resourceful, and intelligent."

Ji Wuye didn't feel sad at all when his mansion was burned down, and he was very pleased with the praise from the Blood-Robed Marquis.

"Mo Ya has been with me for quite a while. Apart from Tiger, he is the one that suits my taste the most. If another subordinate had dared to propose setting fire to my mansion, I would have killed him with a knife long ago."

Marquis Xueyi said softly, "The general seems to be afraid. Is he afraid of that Jingwei or Liusha, or are they joining forces?"

Ji Wuye hated this about the Blood-Robed Marquis and always liked to expose his shortcomings in front of him.

"This general is not afraid, I just want to take this opportunity to break the arms of Liusha and Chengjiao."

Looking at the flames in the General's Mansion, Marquis Xueyi couldn't help but think of the night when his own mansion was burned. It was also the good deeds of Wei Zhuang and Jing Wei.

This is also the reason why he agreed without hesitation when Ji Wuye suggested that he come to ambush.

Jingwei saw that the time was almost right.

“Let’s get started.”

Wei Zhuang put away the shark tooth, carried a few basketball-sized kerosene barrels and Jingwei and sneaked into the general's mansion which was being held back by Mo Ya Yingge.

As a descendant of Guiguzi, and with Cheng Jiao's guidance, Wei Zhuang and Jingwei quickly positioned the kerosene barrels to form a chain kerosene formation.

The kerosene in the kerosene barrel is the kerosene stored in the basement of the Scorpion Gate.

After Wei Zhuang wiped out the Poison Scorpion Sect, Tang Qi, the boss of the Seven Absolutes Hall, took over and found a lot of kerosene inside, so he informed Wei Zhuang.

After Cheng Jiao got this information from Wei Zhuang, he told him some tips on how to make the kerosene barrel explode louder.

The kerosene barrel used tonight was specially customized. After being designed by the genius Wei Zhuang, it is basically three times more powerful than the original kerosene barrel.

If so many kerosene barrels were arranged in a formation and exploded in Ji Wuye's mansion, it would probably be a very spectacular sight.
