Chapter 206 I didn’t expect you to be such a brother Wei Zhuang!

Cheng Jiao sighed a little, he had just figured it out.

Han Fei's words about traveling through the long river of time and witnessing his own death seemed more like a metaphor to him.

Seeing Jingwei Zinu and Guigu Zongheng looking at him, Cheng Jiao did not keep them in suspense.

"I think this force is time and everything."

Zi Nu said to herself: "Time and everything?"

Gai Nie was thoughtful. "I understand what Chang'an Jun meant by time, but what are these ten thousand things?"

Cheng Jiao did not directly answer Gai Nie's question, but instead asked a question in return: "Mr. Gai Nie, do you think that it is the existence of time that causes the changes in all things in the world, or that the commonality of the changes in all things in the world is called time?"

Gai Nie’s brain froze. For the so-called encyclopedic uncle, this was the first time he had touched upon a blind spot in knowledge. He looked at Xiao Zhuang who was not far from him in a daze. Has the teacher taught this?
Wei Zhuang turned his head away again. He never thought about such nonsense.

"Does Lord Chang'an know?"

Cheng Jiao shook his head repeatedly: "Except for the gods, I don't know any mortal who can see through it."

Jingwei seemed to have realized something. She, who had always had a very vague understanding of the realm of heaven and man, seemed to see it more clearly.

She expressed her own opinion: "It is time that creates all things. Han Fei just said a lot about life and death, withering and flourishing. It is time that makes all things have opposites. It is the beginning and the end."

Cheng Jiao looked at Jing Wei, who was very low-key, in amazement and said such words.

Zi Nu frowned: "Then is there an opposite of time?"

Han Fei and Ying Zheng just happened to walk over.

They all heard what Cheng Jiao and Jing Wei said.

Han Fei pondered, "Time represents change. Confucius once said, 'Time passes like an arrow, day and night.' So the opposite should be eternity."

Ying Zheng was bewildered. He could vaguely understand Han Fei's words just now, but after the communication between Cheng Jiao and Jing Wei, he instantly became autistic.

He knows time, he knows everything, and he can also explain the relationship between time and everything.

But suddenly a few guys who are recognized as extremely smart ask you what time is and what everything is, which makes you feel a little embarrassed.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Ying Zheng simply stopped thinking about it!
Looking at Han Fei, Ying Zheng said sincerely: "I want to forge a sword for the emperor, 'with the seven countries as the blade, the mountains and seas as the tip, controlled by the five elements, opened by yin and yang, maintained by spring and summer, and carried out by autumn and winter. It is unparalleled in the world and the whole world is submissive'. Sir, you are the one who forges the sword, and I am willing to be the one who holds the sword. Sir, are you willing to work with me to create this dream of a country that will last for thousands of years?"

Han Fei couldn't stand Ying Zheng's burning gaze, and coughed lightly, "Han is Han Fei's home, and it's not to the point where the family and the country cannot tolerate each other. Besides, the king has Chang'an Jun, so it doesn't matter whether Han Fei is there or not."

Cheng Jiao shook his head: "I don't understand law or politics."

Han Fei sighed, "But you have a kind heart and understand human nature, which is what Qin lacks the most. As I said just now, we cannot ignore the good and evil of human nature."

Ying Zheng immediately said: "Cheng Jiao will help me, but I am greedy and want you to help me. Cheng Jiao, what do you say?"

Cheng Jiao was silent for a moment, thinking of what Gai Nie asked Zhang Han to bring to Ying Zheng in the original novel.

"Brother Wang, is this sword of the Son of Heaven pointed at the world or the people of the world?"

Gai Nie looked at Cheng Jiao at this time, and suddenly felt a little regretful. It seemed that it would not be a bad idea to let Cheng Jiao be the King of Qin...

Ying Zheng was stunned: "What's the difference? If the world is at peace, the people of the world will be at peace. If the people of the world are at peace, the world will naturally be at peace."

Han Fei: "Mencius said, 'The people are the most important, the ruler is the least important, and the country is the second most important.'"

Cheng Jiao continued, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If you want to be the king of the world, you must see the most fundamental things."

Ying Zheng was silent, and finally said slowly: "I should bear the sword for the people of the world."

Gai Nie looked at Ying Zheng again. It was not impossible for Ying Zheng to continue to be the King of Qin...

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "Good."

Ying Zheng looked at the beauties around Cheng Jiao and relaxed for a rare moment: "Cheng Jiao, when are you going to get married?"

Cheng Jiao's eyes wandered as he said, "No hurry, it's just the 29th day of the lunar year, we'll talk about it after my brother gets crowned..."

There are a bunch of beauties waiting for him. If he gets married so soon, how can he travel around the seven countries and hundreds of families?

Ying Zheng was dissatisfied and said, "Your mother, Madam Han, asked me to help you find a partner a long time ago. When I was your age, I was already married. Now Fusu is two years old and you still haven't decided on your lifelong event. How will other princes and nobles view you?"

Cheng Jiao looked embarrassed. Is this urging him to get married?

Han Fei took the opportunity to say, "Cheng Jiao and my sister Honglian have a very good relationship and are very affectionate. I think it would be better to settle the matter and marry them in the future, so that they can become a good Qin-Jin couple."

Cheng Jiao's eyes widened. How dare you, Han Fei, poke me in the waist here.

Just as he was about to rack his brains to find an excuse, Wei Zhuang walked in.

"Nightfall has already started its move, Ji Wuye's guards are about to arrive here."

Gai Nie immediately said: "The king's whereabouts cannot be exposed."

Han Fei's face darkened. Looking at Wei Zhuang's expressionless face, he really wanted to ask, "Did you do this on purpose?"
I didn't expect you to be this kind of brother Wei Zhuang!!
Wei Zhuang glanced at Zi Nu without leaving a trace and gave Han Fei a self-evident answer.

In front of him, he wanted Zi Nu to be Cheng Jiao's mistress. How unreasonable!

It was the first time that Cheng Jiao realized how adorable Brother Wei Zhuang was, and how supportive Ji Wuye was, so he didn't have to rush out to pick up the bride right away and could continue to wander around the world.

Ying Zheng frowned, "So fast?"

Han Fei had no choice but to wait until it was getting dark, and he did not dare to delay any longer.

"It's been almost a day, it's normal for Nightmu to be able to find this place. King Qin needs to be careful."

Zi Nu couldn't help but hold Cheng Jiao's hand tightly. She realized that Cheng Jiao would be leaving soon and felt extremely reluctant to let him go.

Cheng Jiao patted the back of Zi Nu's hand and whispered, "I'll wait for you."

Zi Nu nodded slightly, knowing that Cheng Jiao was trying to comfort her. The reluctance in her heart became even stronger, but also more rational.

Han Fei was not in the mood to watch the flirting between Zi Nu and Cheng Jiao. When he came, he had already made a lot of contingency plans. Although time was short, it was enough for him to properly arrange a way out for Ying Zheng.

This secret courtyard controlled by Zilanxuan has been exposed to Ye Mu's eyes. If Ying Zheng was not there, Han Fei would have taken advantage of this opportunity to use Cheng Jiao here to trap and kill Ye Mu again.

Following Han Fei's arrangements, the only people in the room were Cheng Jiao, Jing Niu, and Yan Ri, who had just been woken up by Cheng Jiao's tea.

Yanri wiped the tea off his face and silently looked at Cheng Jiao who was quietly sipping tea.

Even if he couldn't believe it, he had to accept that Cheng Jiao was really not interested in the throne.

Seeing Yanri didn't say anything, Cheng Jiao said, "Yanri, I just said I'll give you a chance. Now tell me your choice."

Yanri's mind turned over and he half-knelt on the ground: "From now on, Yanri will only obey the orders of you, Master!"

Cheng Jiao smiled faintly and said, "Very good, from now on, Luowang will be managed by Jingwei, do you have any complaints?"

Jingwei was stunned and looked at Cheng Jiao with some confusion.

"Sir, I."

Cheng Jiao held Jingwei's slender waist and said, "You have been in Luowang before, and you know more about the things there than I do. I am relieved to let you manage Luowang for me. You don't have to do anything, just manage Luowang well. If there is anything, just tell Yanri to do it."

Cheng Jiao trusted her so much that Jing Wei's cold eyes showed a touch of emotion.

"Don't worry, sir. Jingwei will do a good job."

She knew that the more cards Cheng Jiao had, the safer she and Xiao Yan'er would be. Even if it was just for Cheng Jiao, she needed to help Cheng Jiao share his worries and solve his problems. Yanri looked at Jingwei in Cheng Jiao's arms, and of course he didn't dare to have any opinions. Jingwei was not only stronger than him, but also Cheng Jiao's woman. No matter what, he didn't dare to disobey Jingwei.

Cheng Jiao smiled and scratched Jing Wei's nose, then turned to Yan Ri and asked, "Do you know what's going on with Lü Buwei?"

He is about to return to Xianyang, so he must be on guard against his mortal enemy in advance.

Yanri shook his head: "I don't know, but there is an old butler beside Lu Buwei, who is very powerful, at least not much weaker than me."

There was no surprise to Cheng Jiao. Having reached Lu Buwei's position, and not having practiced martial arts, and without an expert to protect him, he would have been killed by his opponents long ago.

"what is his name?"

"He calls himself an old slave, and has no name."

"Besides him, is there anyone else?"

"I have observed the situation in Lü Buwei's mansion. He is probably the only top expert, and there are at least three first-rate experts. There are also many Qin soldiers armed with Gongshu's mechanical weapons patrolling day and night. The guards are extremely strict."

Cheng Jiao gently stroked Jingwei's jade arm. He was worthy of being Prime Minister Lu. He had been able to hide for so many years and had mastered the essence of hiding. His nest was built like a military fortress.

Just when Cheng Jiao was thinking about how to get rid of Lu Buwei without causing turmoil in the Qin State, the door of the courtyard was kicked open.

Dozens of fully armed elite Korean soldiers filed in.

"Search carefully for me, and catch every mouse!"

Cheng Jiao walked out holding Jing Wei's hand, "General Ji, why are you searching where I'm staying?"

Ji Wuye frowned. The intelligence provided by Luowang only said that Han Fei and Wei Zhuang came here to meet a mysterious person, and asked him to alert the enemy. He didn't expect that Cheng Jiao would also be here, which made him a little tricky.

"I didn't know Master Cheng Jiao was here. I just saw the remnants of Baiyue and Tianze escape into this small courtyard. It was wrong of me to disturb Master Cheng Jiao."

Looking at Jingwei with sharp eyes beside Cheng Jiao and Yanri wearing a bronze mask behind him, he decisively chose to give in.

There are only him and dozens of Han soldiers here. If Cheng Jiao ignores them and wants to kill him in the name of assassinating him, he will really not be able to win. Whether he can survive depends on how fast he can escape.

Cheng Jiao didn't think of killing Ji Wuye, and if he wanted to kill him, it wasn't the right time. After all, this was the Xinzheng Royal City, a doghouse of night, and some things couldn't be done openly.

"In that case, General, please take your time in searching. I will go ahead."

Ji Wuye took a closer look at Yanri wearing a bronze mask, and after confirming that it was Yanri's aura, he said, "Have a safe trip, Changan-kun. Xinzheng has been in turmoil these past few days. I hope that Changan-kun will pay more attention to strangers in the city, as they may be the remnants of Tianze."

Cheng Jiao didn't say anything, just waved his hand and left the yard.

Seeing Cheng Jiao being so casual, Ji Wuye became extremely angry. He snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to him.

Cheng Jiao strolled on the street, watching the Han soldiers walking back and forth with spears and swords, and a solemn atmosphere quietly arose.

Jingwei whispered in Chengjiao's ear: "Sir, there are assassins around."

Yanri naturally also discovered it. As the leader of Luowang, he was very clear about his subordinates' assassination and surveillance methods.

"It's Luowang's killer. He's watching us."

Cheng Jiao stopped and said, "Let's go to Zi Lan Xuan."

He just thought of one thing. Luowang only had Xuan Jian, a top-notch assassin. Even if they joined forces with Night, how could they be sure to assassinate him and Ying Zheng? He forgot, or ignored the previous analysis that Lu Buwei believed that he would assassinate the king.

Looking at the assassins pretending to be civilians and monitoring him, Cheng Jiao murmured in a low voice: "Interesting, interesting"

Xuan Jian hasn't made a move yet, he's waiting for him to make a move.

Cheng Jiao returned to Zilanxuan and saw Zinu waiting for him.

"How about it?"

Zi Nu shook her head helplessly, worry showing in her purple eyes: "The situation is not good, the whole city is under lockdown."

"Where's Han Fei?"

"Inside, just got back."

Cheng Jiao was surrounded by Zi Nu and Jing Wei and came to the private room where Han Fei was.

Seeing that Brother Zheng was not panicked at all and was still chatting with Han Fei with great interest, he couldn't help but coughed lightly and said, "Brother Wang, Brother Han."

Ying Zheng looked at Cheng Jiao, a little dissatisfied: "Cheng Jiao, what's the matter?"

Cheng Jiao's mouth twitched. My brother, aren't you worried at all?
"It's okay, just continue..."

There was a sudden buzzing sound in the private room. Cheng Jiao looked at the few small bees that suddenly appeared and said, "Purple Girl."

Zi Nu's purple eyes condensed, and she waved her hand to shoot out several silver needles, nailing all the bees to the ground.

Yanri whispered, "This is Xuan Jian's Ba Linglong power. It is a Xun bee that can command and control a swarm of bees and use them to gather intelligence."

Wei Zhuang said calmly: "Even if we kill the bees, this place will be exposed in no time."

Han Fei stopped chatting with Ying Zheng and said with a smile: "No problem, I have arranged for Mr. Gai Nie to go find my junior brother."

Ying Zheng exclaimed: "Is that young man named Li Si really as talented as you say?"

Cheng Jiao's eyelids twitched, and he was not sure what Han Fei and Li Si had conspired.

"Brother Wang, Li Si's talent is indeed no less than Brother Han's."

But it doesn't matter, he is confident that he can suppress all disobedience.

After being flattered by Han Fei and Cheng Jiao, Ying Zheng became somewhat curious about Li Si.

"Really? In that case, I want to see what kind of talents this junior brother Han Fei has."

The night is getting darker.

Where Cheng Jiao couldn't see, Xuan Jian was sitting on the roof, drinking strong liquor in big gulps. He hadn't drunk so happily for a long time.

Perhaps only when he drinks will he stop thinking about Xianxian, or perhaps drinking can make him closer to the Xianxian in front of him and in his memory.

Xun Feng stood silently beside Xuan Jian and suddenly said, "A few bees have not returned."

"In what direction?"

Xuan Jian exhaled a breath of alcohol, but his voice was cold.

"Zi Lan Xuan."

Xuan Jian smiled silently. He knew that when the whole city was under lockdown, Ying Zheng would be arranged by Liusha to Zilanxuan.

"Cheng Jiao!"

Xuan Jian shattered the empty wine jar. He was very unhappy that Cheng Jiao killed Lao Ai, whom he was protecting, in front of him that night.

Looking at the city guards patrolling the streets, Xuan Jian couldn't help but say "Pah".

"Nightfall is such a waste!"
