Chapter 20: Staying Out Overnight, Moving In

Standing outside the gate of Zilanxuan, Cheng Jiao shivered in the cold morning wind.

Walking on the deserted streets, I felt very melancholy. One day, I would actually ask the girl to pay for the ticket.

Li Wu was eating noodle soup at a morning market stall. When she saw Cheng Jiao coming over, she ordered another portion.

"Did you have fun last night?"

Li Wu slurped the noodles and teased Cheng Jiao.

"Happy! Of course I'm happy! With girls on both sides, guess what? In one word, awesome!"

Cheng Jiao acted in a pretentious and strange way.

"Oh, it seems the boss lady treats you well."

"Of course you must. Don't you see who I am?"

"Why don't you stay a little longer? Who comes to eat noodles so early in the morning?"

"Aren't you eating too?"

"I stood outside the Zi Lan Xuan for a whole night and was pointed at by a young man holding a shark tooth. What's wrong with me eating a bowl of noodles?"

Cheng Jiao was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Wu didn't leave.

"Why didn't you go back to the courtyard?"

Li Wu knocked on the table with her flute.

"How can I sleep when I go back? You are so weak!"

Cheng Qian was hit hard and decided to take back his previous emotion.

He was very angry, so after the waiter brought the noodle soup.

Start turning grief and anger into appetite!
He decided to save up more attribute points and make sure he beat Li Wu!
Li Wu saw that Cheng Jiao had almost finished eating.

"Tell me, how much do you owe? I'll take you to pay it back."

Cheng Jiao patted his stomach and drank a bowl of soup, feeling so warm!
"What money do you owe? Zi Lan Xuan is my home. Do you want money when you go home?"

"Check out the store!" Li Wu felt a toothache, put the money on the table, picked up the cat, and drove the carriage to leave.

"Ouch! Li Wu, wait for me, the palace is still far away!"

Cheng Jiao quickly finished his noodles, jumped to Li Wu's side, and drove the carriage side by side with her.

He needs to go to the palace and ask Han Wangan to resign and move out.

Now that Jingwei has been born and there is also little Yan'er, having so many babies will easily attract attention after a while, so we have to keep a low profile now.

Li Wu looked at Cheng Jiao beside her and felt helpless. Why did her husband have so many cunning thoughts?

When Cheng Jiao and Li Wu arrived at the palace gate, it was already noon.

Li Wu warned: "Your identity is sensitive now, so you must be careful. If Lv Buwei catches you, it will be very dangerous. Zi Lan Xuan is not a good place at first glance. Go there less often in the future. If you can't help it, I'm here, understand?"

Cheng Jiao looked at Li Wu's eyes as she spoke seriously, and a warm feeling filled his heart.

He and his wife were living together in Zilanxuan, but Li Wu insisted on guarding them outside. He kept in mind this friendship.

"I understand. You go pick up Jingwei, and I'll go meet the King of Han."

Li Wu looked at Cheng Jiao's serious expression and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll go find Sister Jingwei and meet up here later."

Cheng Jiao saw the pot-bellied King Han An.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Cheng Jiao has a request to make. I want to move out of the palace. I hope Your Majesty will agree."

"Nephew, you want to move out? But the palace is not comfortable for you?"

"No, Cheng Jiao plans to study in Xinzheng. Frequent trips to the palace are not only inconvenient, but will also cause gossip."

"My dear nephew, please don't forget about my daughter Honglian."

"Of course! Once Cheng Jiao is settled, I will choose an auspicious day to teach Princess Honglian."

Han Wangan frowned, realizing that things were far from as simple as Cheng Jiao said. But since Cheng Jiao had said so much, it would not be nice to force him.

"Well, I hope my dear nephew will pay more attention to it." Cheng Jiao stood at the gate of the small courtyard he bought. Four or five rooms plus a large courtyard were enough for the time being.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and finally finished moving all the messy things.

I watched little Ali tending to the flowers and plants and decorating the yard. Jingwei, in casual clothes, was holding little Yan'er in the yard, playing in the sun. Liwu was still petting the cat.

He is very satisfied and he wants to build a big and warm home!

Therefore, he was very motivated to make money, and he felt that the servants sent by Liu Yi outside the door were very friendly.

"Tell my brother that I will attend the banquet tonight as promised, and we will discuss important matters at the General's Mansion!"

Jingwei came over carrying Xiaoyaner.

"Ji Wuye is the master of the assassin organization Night's Shadow. He has close ties with Luowang. You must be careful when dealing with him. Tonight, I will be around his house. You must protect yourself."

She told Cheng Jiao that since she had been following him for a while, she found herself becoming more and more like a woman and began to understand how to care for someone.

Cheng Jiao took Jingwei's hand.

"Don't worry, we haven't entered into a happy life together yet. I will be careful."

Jingwei looked into Chengjiao's eyes and said softly, "Life is pretty good now. You don't have to take risks."

Cheng Jiao was walking in the yard with Jingwei in one arm.

"Nowadays, the world is like a tree that wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Even if you want to live a simple life, others will regard you as a disaster. In a world of great contention, it is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will retreat. If you retreat, you will fall into the abyss. I don't want to regret it in the future!"

Jingwei looked down at Xiaoyan'er who had her eyes closed in his arms, and said firmly to Chengjiao: "I believe you!"

Cheng Jiao smiled and gently pinched Xiao Yaner's face. Xiao Yaner opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Cheng Jiao.

"Look, Xiaoyan smiled at me, haha."

Jingwei looked at Chengjiao helplessly. The child was sleeping soundly, why disturb her?

There is no curfew in Xinzheng at night. Some people watch the moon by the river, some people release lanterns in the river, and there is also a hooded Jingwei driving a carriage passing by the river.

Xiao Yan'er had already fallen asleep and was left in the care of Li Wu at home. She brought Cheng Jiao to Ji Wuye's residence.

Two handsome guys, one black and one white, who were not as handsome as Cheng Jiao, were waiting quietly in front of the general's mansion.

Until Cheng Jiao got off the carriage, he went to greet him.

"But Mo Ya and Bai Feng?"

Cheng Jiao greeted him warmly.

"Does your Excellency know about Xiao and Bai Feng?"

Mo Ya pinched Hei Yu, feeling a little surprised. Chang'an Jun Chengjiao had only been in Xinzheng for two days, but he could already call out his and Bai Feng's names casually.

"Of course I know. Everyone knows your loyalty to the general."

Cheng Jiao said meaningfully.

Bai Feng still looked cool. Mo Ya said something perfunctorily to Cheng Jiao and took Cheng Jiao into the house.

Jingwei was sitting in the carriage and could clearly sense the life breath of the entire general's mansion, and his mental power was always attached to Cheng Jiao.

No matter what Cheng Jiao wants to do, no matter what his purpose is, Jingwei doesn't understand anything else. She only knows that Cheng Jiao's safety is what she cares about most.

This is to protect Cheng Jiao as well as Xiao Yaner.

Now both she and Xiao Yan'er have been marked by Cheng Jiao, and Xiao Yan'er has even been named after Cheng Jiao.

There are not many things in this world that she can't miss, so she will do her best to protect them.

After watching Cheng Jiao enter the general's mansion, Jingwei tensed up, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

Bai Feng stood on the eaves and looked at the coachman in the carriage. This man made him feel a subtle sense of danger.

He was hesitating whether he should try it first before the black crow came over.
