Chapter 169 Intimidation
Cheng Jiao chatted and laughed with Zi Nu and Li Wu for a while, then he asked Zi Nu to bring Ying Ge and Mo Ya over.
Mo Ya and Ying Ge looked at Cheng Jiao who was sitting between Zi Nu and Li Wu, and felt a little uneasy.
Whether it was the burning of Ji Wuye's residence or the fire at Jubao Pavilion in Xinzheng City, all of them showed that Liusha had already taken action tonight, catching them all off guard.
"Yingge, Moya, you performed well tonight, and I am very satisfied. Now I will give you a chance, either submit to me or continue to work for Ji Wuye."
Yingge and Moya were startled.
Yingge smiled calmly: "Master, Yingge is already your man, why would I still work for Ji Wuye?"
Mo Ya said nothing and began to accumulate strength silently. He had an ominous premonition.
Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "It's a waste for Ji Wuye to have talents like you, but treat you like this. This young master values talents, and I hope you two will consider it carefully."
Yingge was silent. If Cheng Jiao's first sentence might be a test, then the second sentence had already told them clearly. I had seen through it a long time ago.
"When did you find out, young master?"
Cheng Jiao did not hide it, "I discovered it on the day the prince fell into the river."
Yingge recalled the day when he saw the prince fall into the water and he subconsciously wanted to save him. He couldn't help but sigh. Although this man was a lustful man, he was also a meticulous and clever person.
There was a dangerous light flashing in the black crow's eyes, like a wild beast, ready to pounce at any time.
Cheng Jiao looked at the nervous Yingge and Moya, and glanced at his brother-in-law Wei Zhuang.
"You guys want to attack me?"
Zi Nu and Li Wu seemed casual, but in fact they were always locking onto the aura of Ying Ge and Mo Ya.
Mo Ya and Ying Ge knew that since Cheng Jiao had exposed them so openly, he would not worry about them running away.
They could sense a figure flashing outside the house, and there must be many secret guards of Zi Lan Xuan in the dark. In addition, there was Zi Nu Li Wu who was no less powerful than them, and Wei Zhuang who was even stronger than them. If they took action, they would be dead.
Mo Ya threw away the bird feather talisman in his hand, sighed softly, and knelt on one knee.
"I hope that Lord Chang'an can let Yingge go. Mo Ya is willing to serve you."
He knew the hope was slim, but he still wanted to give it a try to see if his life could be exchanged for Yingge's.
Yingge looked at Mo Ya who suddenly slid to his knees, her expression changed. Before she could say anything, Cheng Jiao spoke.
"Mo Ya, do you think if I let Yingge go, Yingge will be able to survive?"
Mo Ya's heart tightened, wondering what other schemes Cheng Jiao was going to come up with.
"Please explain clearly, sir."
Cheng Jiao stood up and walked to the window.
"Have you seen the Treasure Pavilion? What do you think Ji Wuye would do if he found out that the gold coins in the secret room of the Treasure Pavilion disappeared?"
Secret Chamber? These two words flashed through Mo Ya's mind.
He knew that there was a secret room in the Treasure Pavilion where gold coins were stored, but he was not sure about its exact location. Only Ji Wuye and the Four Evil Generals of Night knew it.
Yingge exclaimed softly: "This is impossible!"
Cheng Jiao turned around and looked at Yingge: "Do you think that if there is no secret room marked on the map, I will fall for the Jade Tiger's trick of changing the sky to the day?"
Yingge's little hands trembled, and he didn't care that he was in danger.
“Even if you find the secret room, the thousand-jin copper gate is impossible to destroy. Even to lift it, at least twenty or thirty strong hands are needed. Even if you have enough manpower, it is impossible to move the property in the secret room in a short time. The most important thing is, if the secret room is opened, General Ji will not sit idly by, and the city of Xinzheng will not be so peaceful now.” Cheng Jiao listened and couldn't help clapping his hands.
"That's right. That thousand-jin copper gate weighs at least tens of thousands of pounds. Even if one is born with supernatural power, it is difficult to open it. But after you said so much, don't you wonder where I know the location of the secret room in the Treasure Pavilion?"
Yingge's heart skipped a beat, thinking back to when he gave Cheng Jiao the map and Cheng Jiao only glanced at it, he thought of a possibility.
"Have you already obtained the internal map of Jubao Pavilion?"
Cheng Jiao appreciated the parrot's song to some extent.
"You are very smart, so you should know that there is a way to take out the gold coins in the secret room without opening or destroying it."
After hearing this, Mo Ya couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"When the general finds out that the gold coins in the secret room have been stolen, I'm afraid Yingge will be suspected."
Yingge’s pretty face was pale and looked a little desperate.
"Besides the general and the four evil generals, I am the only one who knows about the secret room on the map. I saw with my own eyes that the general erased the secret room on the map."
Wei Zhuang looked at Cheng Jiao's actions one after another with some disdain. If it were him, he would have put the shark tooth across Yingge Mo Ya's neck. If you join, you live. If you don't join, you die. Why so much nonsense!
It’s a pity that Cheng Jiao couldn’t hear his brother-in-law’s thoughts.
"What do you two think now? That's all I have to say. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Mo Ya was silent, "Yingge and I are just assassins, why does the young master value us so much?"
Cheng Jiao strolled up to Yingge and, in front of Mo Ya, put his arms around Yingge's flexible waist.
"Didn't I tell you at the beginning that Yingge wants to be my woman, understand?"
After saying that, he felt Yingge's tightness and tension, and faced Yingge's pale face: "Don't be afraid, relax."
Yingge looked at Cheng Jiao's smiling eyes with a complicated expression, and glanced at Mo Ya who was still kneeling on one knee.
"Sir, if Yingge agrees to follow you, can you let Mo Ya go?"
Cheng Jiao hugged Ying Ge and sat down beside the table, holding Ying Ge in his arms. Zi Nu and Li Wu looked at Cheng Jiao's behavior, crossed their arms, and looked like "Let's see how long you can keep acting!"
"Mo Ya, Ying Ge asked me for help, what do you think?"
Before Mo Ya could open his mouth, Ying Ge, who was half lying in Cheng Jiao's arms, said, "Mo Ya, think about Bai Feng!"
Mo Ya was silent. If he and Ying Ge stayed with Cheng Jiao, Bai Feng would probably be doomed.
Cheng Jiao lifted up Yingge's delicate white chin and said, "This is not good. As my woman, you need to consider this young master. You should say, Mo Ya, bring Bai Feng here to work for the young master."
Mo Ya and Ying Ge were both stunned, not knowing what Cheng Jiao meant. As far as they knew, Cheng Jiao didn't seem to have any connection with Bai Feng, so how could he let Bai Feng come so easily? Or did Cheng Jiao know more about the birds than Ji Wuye?
Yingge came to her senses first. It was not because she reacted quickly, but because Cheng Jiao was wandering around her, playing with her from time to time.
"Sir, are you willing to take in Bai Feng?"
Among all the birds, she has the best relationship with Mo Ya and Bai Feng. If she and Mo Ya are like brother and sister, then Bai Feng is like her and Mo Ya's younger brother.
Cheng Jiao has always been open to talents, especially those he knows well, and will even try every means to keep them.
"If you give me a kiss, I will take Bai Feng in."
Before Yingge could react, Cheng Jiao felt four sharp knives piercing his chest and back.
