Chapter 190 The Tide Banshee: I’m waiting!
Cheng Jiao didn't know whether the night that Han Fei was talking about was hot or not, but he was feeling quite hot now anyway.
What he never expected was that he thought Madam Mingzhu had something important to tell him, but unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the room, she couldn't wait to hug and kiss him.
He swore that when he and Madam Mingzhu came in, he did have the idea of flirting with Madam Mingzhu, but he never expected that Madam Mingzhu would be so straightforward. He was a little confused by Madam Mingzhu's kiss.
After a long time, Madam Mingzhu let go of Cheng Jiao.
"Okay, time to get down to business."
Cheng Jiao was savoring Madam Mingzhu's lips. After hearing what Madam Mingzhu said and looking at her charming smile, Cheng Jiao smacked his lips. Could it be that Madam Mingzhu had learned to predict?
This made him feel a little unhappy. Who did they think he was?
He hugged Madam Mingzhu's attractive waist and muttered, "What do you mean by well? I'm not well yet. We'll talk about it later."
Madam Mingzhu pushed away Cheng Jiao's dog claws that were trying to climb onto her snowy village: "Are you sure you don't want to listen?"
Cheng Jiao laid Madam Mingzhu down on the couch without answering.
He was already angry because Madam Mingzhu took the initiative to hug and kiss him just now. What else could he say? He had been too ambiguous and felt very embarrassed. He had to get back at her!
Madam Mingzhu took a deep breath. She didn't expect Cheng Jiao to be so heavy-handed. There were obviously several red marks on her body, which made her feel a little painful.
"Take it easy..."
Madam Mingzhu did not resist Cheng Jiao's unscrupulous behavior. Actually, there was nothing big going on for her to come out this time. She was just a little bored. In addition, Cheng Jiao hinted to her last night to take Tianze away in the morning and not let him fall into the hands of Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou, so she had other ideas.
Ever since she and Cheng Jiao had a scene in Lady Hu's bathroom last time, she hadn't seen Cheng Jiao come to the palace to meet her privately for several days, which made her miss him a little. She had to have a good chat with Cheng Jiao while she had a rare chance to come out.
If she had not been intimate with Cheng Jiao and had not experienced the joy of love, Mrs. Mingzhu would not have been so greedy for such a feeling. But after being developed by Cheng Jiao, Mrs. Mingzhu suddenly felt that all those years before that were a bit of a waste.
Although Cheng Jiao was somewhat unscrupulous, he was also restrained.
Han Fei was still outside. If he and Madam Mingzhu were to have a passionate affair inside, Han Fei might find out.
As a man who has experienced many battles, he knows very well that after sex, it is difficult for a woman to hide the charm in her eyes. Anyone who is in the love field can tell at a glance that a woman has just had sex.
As Han Fei's nominal mother, if he and Madam Mingzhu were blocked by Han Fei while playing in the house, he thought it would be better for him to run back to Qin overnight.
Mrs. Mingzhu's face turned red and she seemed a little excited because of Cheng Jiao.
Cheng Jiao breathed a sigh of relief and felt better for the time being.
The rotation between active and passive between the two people seemed very fast, but in fact, it was almost the time of a cup of tea.
Cheng Jiao took the initiative to tidy up Mrs. Mingzhu's clothes that he had messed up.
"What did you want to say?"
Madam Mingzhu supported herself on the couch with her hands and narrowed her beautiful eyes.
"Before leaving the palace, I received information from the man in straw raincoat. Did you do anything to the convoy heading to Xianyang in Qin?"
Cheng Jiao thought thoughtfully: "It was discovered so soon? I thought Ye Mu would not know about it until tonight at the earliest."
Madam Mingzhu stood up and sat on the table, raising her white and tender feet that had been played with by Cheng Jiao many times.
"You underestimated the intelligence network of the Raincoat Man. In the past two years, he has sent many spies to other countries, which has weakened his control over South Korea. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to take away the money from the Treasure Pavilion so easily."
Cheng Jiao picked up Madam Mingzhu's black and purple high heels, picked up Madam Mingzhu's delicate feet, and put them on her.
"It seems I'm pretty lucky."
Madam Mingzhu felt a familiar strange feeling. Cheng Jiao played with her feet over and over again, which made her a little addicted to it.
"Aren't you worried about being stopped by the Nightfall people?"
Cheng Jiao clapped his hands, "How is it possible? If we had taken Tianze last night, it would have been possible. But now, we will probably be out of the Korean border after tonight. Do you think Ye Mu has the courage to intercept them in Qin territory?"
Madam Mingzhu snorted, "I kind of hate the way you look, as if you have everything under your control."
Cheng Jiao sighed, "No, I just took it one step at a time. In fact, at the beginning, I planned to let them return to Qin with the envoy. I didn't expect Tianze to choose to assassinate the envoy under such circumstances."
Madam Mingzhu narrowed her eyes: "Tianze doesn't have much choice. If he provokes a war between Qin and Han, he will have a chance to survive in the cracks, instead of being tied up like a dog like now."
"Watch him carefully. He is my dog now. Don't let him die. I have already given him poison. You can feed him the poisonous insect when you have time. It will be a double insurance."
"You're going to take this piece of crap out of him?"
"Things that are useful are not waste."
Madam Mingzhu's eyes flickered. As for Tianze, anyone would think he was dead, but judging from Cheng Jiao's expression, there was still room for improvement.
"I have said everything I need to say. I am waiting for you to snatch me away."
Madam Mingzhu stepped lightly on her high heels and suddenly said these words to Cheng Jiao.
Cheng Jiao teased, "You want to be my concubine so much?"
Madam Mingzhu did not comment: "This is a way for me to leave a way out for myself."
As the fashionable banshee of Night, she naturally knows more than Lady Hu. Now Korea is almost in ruins, and Night and those nobles are still sucking blood from it. Han Wangan seems to be capable, but in fact he is weak inside, bullies the weak and fears the strong, and is basically hopeless.
If we say that the history of the other six countries in the Warring States Period since their founding was a history of invasion and being invaded, then it is still purely a history of being invaded, and they reached their peak from the very beginning.
Even though she said she didn't care about Cheng Jiao in front of Concubine Hu, that was just to put on airs in front of Concubine Hu. She couldn't let a dignified female demon and the wife of a country be controlled by Concubine Hu, a woman who was relying on the power of others to bully others.
Cheng Jiao looked at Mrs. Mingzhu, who was bright, charming and intellectual.
"Then just wait and see how I kidnap you and Lady Hu."
Madam Mingzhu refused to give in: "Okay, I'll be waiting!"
Cheng Jiao was eager to try it out. It would be exciting to rob the wives and beauties of the enemy country!
When Mrs. Mingzhu was about to leave.
"and many more!"
Madam Mingzhu paused: "Anything else?"
Cheng Jiao instructed: "Honglian is investigating whether you are a tide demon. Please take care of that girl."
Madam Mingzhu curled her lips and said, "I know. You are such a jerk that you can kill anyone. You can make that old man Han Wangan die in shame. What do you think will happen if Honglian knows what I, Lady Hu and you have done?"
Cheng Jiao narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't think so. If it really doesn't work, I'll force her to marry me."
"Haha, when you married Honglian, you also wanted to marry me and Lady Hu?"
"Can't you?"
"Then you can try and see what people in the world will say about you."
Cheng Jiao shrugged, "By then, Korea will have been destroyed. Who can say anything? It's not like there haven't been similar things in the past few hundred years."
Madam Mingzhu looked at Cheng Jiao's indifferent expression and chuckled, "Even if Lady Hu and I don't mind, given Honglian's character, aren't you afraid that she might do something?"
Cheng Jiao nodded seriously: "Indeed, Honglian is too simple and immature, not as realistic as you."
Madam Mingzhu glanced at Cheng Jiao and turned away. When Cheng Jiao was thinking about how to make Honglian accept that he was with Madam Mingzhu and Lady Hu, Zi Nu walked in.
He glanced around the room and looked at the calm Cheng Jiao, and put his doubts aside.
"What did the tide witch say?"
Cheng Jiao looked at Han Fei behind Zi Nu and said casually, "He told me that the convoy to Xianyang, Qin State, had been discovered, and he wanted to test me with this."
Han Fei asked lightly: "So fast?"
Cheng Jiao nodded: "It should be the problem discovered by the man in the raincoat."
Han Fei thought carefully: "In the night, the man in the straw raincoat is the most mysterious. It seems that we must find a way to dig out the man in the straw raincoat and cover up the eyes and ears of the night."
Cheng Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Jingwei, call Yanri over."
Jingwei, who had been silent all the time, disappeared into the house in the blink of an eye after receiving Cheng Jiao's instructions.
Wei Zhuang's heart sank as he realized that Jing Wei's strength had increased.
Cheng Jiao looked at Yanri who had recovered a lot.
"How about covering the sun?"
Yanri clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Chang'an Jun, for saving my life. The injury has been brought under control."
Cheng Jiao nodded and said, "That's good. I have a task for you."
Yanri's eyes moved slightly, wondering whether Cheng Jiao was preparing to assassinate the king.
"Xuan Jian escaped, and I felt uneasy, so I went to find him. Also, do you know the straw raincoat man in the night?"
Yanri was a little surprised. Why did he look for Xuan Jian? Although Lu Buwei wanted to replace him and Xuan Jian's betrayal also annoyed him, Xuan Jian and he had the same goal, and the highest priority was to assassinate Ying Zheng. Logically speaking, Cheng Jiao didn't need to look for him.
"The Raincoat Man is the intelligence chief of Nightfall and has done business with Luowang. I don't know much about him, but I can be sure that he is Korean."
Cheng Jiao really wanted to complain. Anyone could tell that the man in the straw raincoat was Korean.
Hmm? Cheng Jiao vaguely grasped something.
"Wait, why are you sure that the raincoat man is Korean?"
Han Fei pondered, who in Korea could the Raincoat Man be? Who was qualified to pull up a network covering Korea?
"Three years ago, when I sent Jingwei to Xinzheng to carry out a mission, I had a conversation with the Raincoat Man of Night. He said that he had never left Korea."
Han Fei couldn't help but ask, "What mission?"
Jingwei said: "Establish a Luowang branch in Xinzheng."
Yanri nodded: "Because Xinzheng is Yemu's territory, I had already contacted Yemu before Jingwei came. The Raincoat Guest helped Luowang before."
Cheng Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Can we lure him out?"
Yanri shook his head: "It's difficult. When he meets people, he usually goes to an unknown river to hide his tracks and avoid being ambushed."
Cheng Jiao was speechless, what a coward.
"Go down, find Xuan Jian first, and find out the news about the Straw-clothed Guest."
Yanri looked at the people around him and gave up the idea of discussing the assassination of Ying Zheng with Cheng Jiao. He believed that with Zi Nu and Jing Niu there, as long as Ying Zheng showed up, Cheng Jiao would almost certainly kill Ying Zheng. He simply stopped hesitating and retreated.
Watching Yanri leave, Cheng Jiao looked at the still early sky.
"It's almost noon, Yingge, bring some wine and food over."
Yingge felt helpless. Cheng Jiao really treated her like a maid.
Zi Nu walked to Ying Ge with a smile and said, "Sister, come together."
Yingge was startled and nodded: "Okay."
Jingwei knelt beside Cheng Jiao, feeling somewhat worried about Li Wu.
"Sir, where is Liwu?"
Cheng Jiao held Jing Wei's beautiful waist and said, "Don't worry. After tonight, Li Wu should be out of the Korean border. And I've already told them that if they encounter an irresistible crisis, they should leave everything behind and run away. There are Li Wu, Yan Ling Ji, Wushuang, Mo Ya, Bai Feng, Bai Du Wang, and Qu Shi Mo, seven top martial arts masters. Unless they are surrounded by the army and the gods don't take action, who can stop them?"
Jingwei pursed his soft lips, "I know, but Yan'er will suffer. I don't know if he has the habit of eating rice porridge."
Cheng Jiao comforted her, "As long as we get to Qin and Xianyang, my mother, Madam Han, will be with us, and Xiao Yan'er will not suffer."
Looking at the towering heights of Jingwei, Cheng Jiao thought that since Xiao Yan'er couldn't eat it, he couldn't let Jingwei waste such good food.
He leaned over to Jingwei's ear and whispered, "It should be fine tonight. It's been a while since we last met."
Jingwei looked at Cheng Jiao's somewhat eager eyes, nodded slightly, and said "hmm" with a little heat on his face.
Cheng Jiao wanted to continue teasing his giant salamander, but Zi Nu and Ying Ge came in, so he had to restrain himself and correct his attitude.
Zi Nu knelt on the other side of Cheng Jiao and poured a glass of wine for Cheng Jiao.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw Jingwei looking a little reserved, and she immediately realized that Cheng Jiao was flirting with Jingwei again while she was away.
Yingge naturally discovered that something was wrong with Jingwei. Seeing that Jingwei was so powerful yet still as shy as a little girl, she couldn't help but sigh that there was a reason why she was being eaten alive by Chengjiao. It wasn't because she was too naive, it was because Chengjiao was not a good person.
Han Fei had no appetite. He leaned against the window like Wei Zhuang, looking at the unfamiliar faces outside Zi Lan Xuan.
Even though Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou retreated, they still began to monitor Zilanxuan blatantly.
There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and Zhang Liang opened the door anxiously.
"Brother, I just received news that the Qin envoy will arrive in Xinzheng the day after tomorrow."
Cheng Jiao chewed the orchid cake that Zi Nu fed him and swallowed it.
"So fast? The last time the envoys traveled from Xianyang to Xinzheng, it took ten days, but this time it only took six days?"
Han Fei shook his head: "If we travel light and with a small group, six days will be enough, regardless of day or night."
Zhang Liang frowned and said, "The Qin envoy is so anxious to enter Han this time. I'm afraid..."
Han Fei sighed, "The situation is so fierce, I'm afraid it won't be easily exposed."
Cheng Jiao didn't care: "Tianze has been arrested. I will testify for you and I won't make things difficult for you."
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "It is said that the Qin envoy this time is a retainer of Lu Buwei. I am afraid he will not care about Lord Chang'an."
Han Fei asked, "Does Zifang know who he is? Does the Prime Minister have any news?"
Zhang Liang shook his head: "I don't know. According to the intelligence, it was a young man."
