Chapter 210 Female Marquis! ?
Zhao Xian, the West Gate defender who was seriously injured by the Blood-Robed Marquis that day, became more stable after being rescued by his old boss Wang Gang.
Looking at the two carriages approaching from afar, he recognized that they were the carriages of the Qin envoys. He frowned and glanced at his former boss Wang Gang standing behind him. He thought for a moment:
"Wang Gang, take some people to stop them!"
The general had just ordered that no one was allowed to leave the city today, and he didn't dare to gamble his life. But he didn't want to face the pressure from the Qin envoy, so he let his old boss face the challenge first, and he stayed in the rear!
Wang Gang's eyelids twitched, and he instantly understood what Zhao Xian was planning. But a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official, so he suppressed the urge to curse and walked forward with a dozen city guards.
The Qin soldier driving the car saw someone blocking the carriage and shouted, "How dare you! You dare to block the carriage of the Qin envoy!"
The carriage stopped and Li Si inside the carriage subconsciously clenched his hands.
He let go in an instant, glanced at Ying Zheng who remained calm, and the Yingge girl who was ordered by Cheng Jiao to assist, then decisively opened the curtain and walked out of the carriage.
Looking at Wang Gang who was bowing and clasping his fists, "General, why did you stop the Qin envoy's carriage?"
Li Si's indifferent words forced Wang Gang, who was demoted to become Zhao Xian's deputy general, to step forward. He cursed Zhao Xian in his heart, saying that he had saved his life, but he still betrayed me!
"Sir! There are rebels in and outside the city. To protect your safety, I hope you will return to the envoy's inn and avoid the risk for the time being."
Gai Nie looked around and found no ambush, nor any of Ji Wuye and Xue Yi Hou's elite cavalry. Just ordinary city gate guards.
He knew that it was Cheng Jiao who lured away the people from Ye Mu and Luo Wang. Otherwise, they would have been intercepted by Ji Wuye's troops by now.
Li Si glanced at Gai Nie who was guarding the carriage.
"Li Si has important matters to attend to. The transfer of the serious criminal cannot be delayed. Please let him go."
Wang Gang turned his head and glanced at Zhao Xian who was not far behind him.
"This……"
Upon seeing this, Li Si suddenly shouted coldly: "The Great Qin's number one swordsman, Sword Saint Gai Nie, is right beside me. Do I need your protection? Are you planning to harm this envoy?"
Gai Nie instantly ejected a piece of sword, and the cold light swept across Wang Gang in front of him. The breath of death made Wang Gang terrified.
"No...don't dare..."
In the residence of the Fourth Young Master Han Yu, Han Fei, who was pretending to be drunk and sleeping, quietly opened his drunken eyes and saw Han Qiancheng standing up after being muttered by Han Yu. With a glance, he knew that he must be helping Ye Mu.
Pretending to be careless, he pushed over the table.
"Ah, sorry, fourth brother, I am rude."
Han Fei stood up slowly and stood in front of Han Qiancheng.
Han Qiancheng instinctively grasped the sword, but when he realized something was wrong, he loosened the hilt.
Han Yu said generously, "We are all family, there is no need to be polite. Qiancheng, go out and buy some more wine. I want to get drunk with my ninth brother tonight."
Han Qiancheng turned sideways and prepared to pass Han Fei, but Han Fei could not do as he wished.
"Haha, I won't bother you, Fourth Brother. I used to be handsome, but now I look so haggard. I have been hurt by alcohol and sex. From today on, I will stop drinking!"
Han Yu narrowed his eyes. He knew that his ninth brother was a meticulous person.
After Han Fei's joke, Han Qiancheng had to return to his seat.
Cheng Jiao rubbed Mrs. Mingzhu's snowy face and stretched.
"It's getting late, I should go."
Madam Mingzhu lifted her long snow-white legs, which were still sticky with the liquid sprayed by Cheng Jiao, and placed them on Cheng Jiao's shoulders.
In such a short period of time, Cheng Jiao tormented her repeatedly, making her like a puddle of mud, and she just wanted to lie in bed.
Seeing Cheng Jiao about to leave, she said resentfully, "Leaving so early? Bai Yifei wanted me to let you stay overnight."
Cheng Jiao took Madam Mingzhu's long legs off his shoulders and slowly put on his clothes.
Mrs. Mingzhu was a little annoyed when she saw Cheng Jiao didn't say anything and even ignored her white and tender little feet that she stretched out on her own initiative, but she was also filled with a sudden reluctance to let him go.
Although she said she was disgusted and even wanted to beat Cheng Jiao when he smeared that stuff on her body, she felt so comfortable while playing that she didn't bother to say anything about Cheng Jiao's bad taste.
"Are you planning to leave Xinzheng tonight?"
Mrs. Mingzhu realized something and couldn't help but speak.
Cheng Jiao paused while getting dressed and said, "After we clean up the mess, we'll leave."
He did not hide this matter from Madam Mingzhu. Unlike Brother Zheng, he was basically casual about whether to leave or stay.
After he finished speaking, Cheng Jiao suddenly felt something soft on his back, and a pair of slender hands were hugging his chest.
"We're all leaving, why not come again."
Madam Mingzhu breathed fragrance into Cheng Jiao's ears, which was captivating.
Cheng Jiao smirked and said, "Why, you still don't want to leave? Who was it that was saying disdainful things about me just now?"
Madam Mingzhu's charming expression collapsed. She was panicked by Cheng Jiao's unintentional revelation of her secrets. She couldn't help but say angrily, "Virtue!"
Seeing Madam Mingzhu's evasive eyes, Cheng Jiao's eyelids twitched. Could it be that this female demon had feelings for him?
I quickly dismissed this unrealistic idea. The reason why Madam Mingzhu flattered him was that she had something to ask of him, and she coveted his young and handsome body to relieve her inner loneliness, which made it easy for me to do many happy things to her.
As for feelings, Cheng Jiao didn't believe in them. Unless Madam Mingzhu was bound, he could really believe in this great shark...
However, Mrs. Mingzhu's subsequent actions made Cheng Jiao waver.
Mrs. Mingzhu had no worries at all. She was naked and walked barefoot on the floor of the courtyard to change his clothes herself.
That considerate look, like that of a young wife, made Cheng Jiao feel extremely satisfied.
Having a lady from another country willingly dress a man is a treatment that no man can refuse.
He kissed Mrs. Mingzhu's plump red lips.
"If you are accidentally exposed, you can go to Zilanxuan's Zi Nu and explain your relationship. She will help you go to Xianyang."
Cheng Jiao had not originally planned to make such an arrangement. It was not a bad idea to let Madam Mingzhu fight alone. But now that Madam Mingzhu had put on such a show, he couldn't help but consider Madam Mingzhu's safety.
Madam Mingzhu stretched out her delicate hand and stroked Cheng Jiao's cheek, a hint of spring still lingering in her narrow and beautiful eyes.
"I can't believe that a little thief like you still cares about others?"
Cheng Jiao held Madam Mingzhu's slender waist and said with a faint smile, "You look like a work of art without clothes. I can't bear to throw it away or destroy it."
Madam Mingzhu's pretty face turned cold, "Do you treat me as an object?"
"Of course not, this is me expressing my care for you~"
Cheng Jiao flatly denied it. Even if he really only thought of Madam Mingzhu as a nice big toy in his heart, he couldn't admit it out loud that he wanted to play with her for the rest of his life.
Madam Mingzhu did not believe Cheng Jiao's lies at all, but inexplicably chose to ignore the side of Cheng Jiao humiliating her.
Mrs. Mingzhu moved sideways in front of Cheng Jiao and looked straight into his eyes.
Cheng Jiao looked at Madam Mingzhu's charming eyes and the teardrop mole, and his heart skipped a beat for unknown reason.
He secretly said, "Oh no! Why do I feel so excited at this moment? Where did his sage moment go?"
Seeing Cheng Jiao's dull look, Madam Mingzhu couldn't help but smile, and said charmingly, "Sir, will you come back after you leave?"
Exhaling lightly, Cheng Jiao sat on the bed holding Madam Mingzhu, looking at the bright moon that had risen to the center of the sky.
"Of course I will come back. I can't bear to leave such a beautiful person like you."
Madam Mingzhu suddenly became a little melancholy: "Do we have to wait until Korea is destroyed?"
Cheng Jiao said calmly: "If we don't destroy South Korea, how can we take you back?"
"If you don't destroy South Korea, you can come back often..."
He looked at Madam Mingzhu in his arms in surprise. How could she become so sentimental?
According to the script, shouldn't they just kick each other off after having fun and go their separate ways?
If it weren't for the feeling of the plump body in his arms, he would have thought it was Honglian.
"This...is true."
Madam Mingzhu did remind him that he didn't have to destroy Korea before returning home. It was not impossible for him to come here secretly to have fun for a few days...
Seeing Cheng Jiao's absent-minded look, Madam Mingzhu's eyes flashed.
“When are you going to attack South Korea?”
Cheng Jiao came to his senses and said, "I'm not sure about this. We have to defeat Lu Buwei anyway, after my brother is crowned."
"How about I help you get Korea?"
"Oh? Don't you want to be your queen for a few more years?"
Madam Mingzhu said dimly, "You little thief are very evil. I feel that Korea will not last for many more years. But I have one condition."
Cheng Jiao narrowed his eyes: "I will marry you."
Anyway, I have a lot of girls I want to marry, so marrying a beautiful girl like Madam Mingzhu won’t be a burden and I can afford it!
"I will marry you as Mrs. Korea!"
Madam Mingzhu looked into Cheng Jiao's eyes and spoke word by word.
Cheng Jiao thought about it and realized that this was what Madam Mingzhu was planning.
Becoming his concubine without anyone knowing and the whole world knowing that Lady Korea was taken by him have different impacts.
Cheng Jiao was too lazy to say anything about Lady Mingzhu's intention to add bargaining chips for himself. It felt quite interesting, letting the world know that he married the Korean queen, very exciting!
"No problem, but I have to be with Miss Hu then."
Madam Mingzhu frowned slightly. She had always disliked Lady Hu.
"This is your business."
Cheng Jiao smiled and married the King of Han's wife, concubine, and daughter in front of the people of the world. Wow, it's very legendary. It would be unjustifiable if it was not recorded in history books.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xinzheng, Zhang Liang and his grandfather Zhang Kaidi were playing chess.
"Zifang, be calm."
Zhang Liang lowered his head and asked, "Grandfather, why didn't you let me stay in Zi Lan Xuan?"
When he saw his grandfather reading bamboo slips in the house, he knew that his brother Han Fei had been right again.
It was true that there was an assassination attempt on the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was also true that his grandfather had ordered him to come back.
Looking at Zhang Liang who already had his own opinion, Zhang Kaidi couldn't help but sigh.
"You have to understand that you represent not only yourself, but also the entire Zhang family, and even many people who are dependent on our Zhang family. It's fine to be an enemy of Ye Mu, but this time Luo Wang is also involved. How can grandfather feel at ease with you?"
Zhang Liang was speechless. It seemed that his grandfather had received a warning from the night.
"I……"
"Even the king doesn't want to take care of what happens tonight. Have you figured out what's going on? Have you forgotten the way our Zhang family has survived for generations?!"
After that, he messed up the chessboard and said, "Okay, you can't go anywhere tonight!"
Zhang Liang was speechless. He was only one step away from winning again... Looking at his grandfather's departing back, Zhang Liang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't tell anyone about Ying Zheng. Otherwise, South Korea would be even more chaotic, creating a situation that Han Fei didn't want to see.
Looking at the black and white chess pieces scattered on the chessboard, Zhang Liang murmured to himself: "Grandfather, I cannot sit idly by and watch the struggle between good and evil."
Under the fire, Zilanxuan became a focus of attention in Xinzheng.
Jingwei slowly pulled out the Jingwei Sword. The time was almost up. Although Zi Nu could still hold on for a while under the attacks of Xuan Jian and Xue Yi Hou, accidents could happen at any time.
The Blood-Clothed Marquis spat out a mouthful of blood foam, his clothes were torn, his white face was smoked black, and he suffered considerable injuries.
Seeing Zi Nu's offensive becoming more and more defensive, Xue Yi Hou's face was a little ferocious: "Don't resist anymore, Cheng Jiao has given up on you."
He was sure that if he and Xuan Jian besieged Zi Nu for a while longer and cooperated with the ice armor soldiers, they would be able to kill Zi Nu.
Xuan Jian was beaten back by Zi Nu again, and he stuck the white sword into the ground to steady his body.
Even though he looked very embarrassed at this moment, his face was firm and he still looked unrestrained and uninhibited.
But he had already realized that something was wrong. After observation, he found that Ying Zheng did not seem to be in Zilanxuan.
He glanced at the Bloody Marquis and growled, "The target is not here!"
Seeing Xuan Jian wanting to retreat, Xueyi Hou couldn't help but frown. Zi Nu had already shown a flaw, and her internal strength was gradually running out. If Xuan Jian retreated at this moment, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
"Xuan Jian, I promise that as long as you kill the woman in front of you, I will personally lead the army to help you hunt down the target!"
Xuan Jian's eyes flickered.
The Bloody Marquis said calmly, "If this woman runs away, even if we find the target, do you think we can succeed?"
Xuan Jian laughed, "In that case, then help the Marquis!"
He then looked at Zi Nu who was trying to recover and said calmly:
"My black sword killed 136 people for revenge, and my white sword killed 154 people for gratitude. And in order to practice the strongest sword art, the number of people injured by my black and white swords is countless."
Zi Nu tightly grasped the Red Soft Sword and chuckled, "I wonder if this killing is for gratitude or revenge?"
"Neither. This time it's for power. You will be the strongest person killed by this sword."
Xuan Jian said in a low voice.
Zi Nu sighed softly, "Another person who is blinded by power."
Thinking about how Cheng Jiao didn't care about the throne that was within his reach, I suddenly felt that Cheng Jiao seemed to have no other flaws except for his lust.
Xuan Jian burst out with a murderous intent that seemed to be real, and once again summoned the afterimage of Ba Linglong to attack Zi Nu.
"The positive blade claims life, the reverse blade calms the soul!"
Coupled with a strong murderous intent, the power of this move increased dramatically.
Zi Nu's face was solemn. She had just suffered a great loss from Xuan Jian's combination of killing moves. Now that Xuan Jian used it again, she had to be cautious.
The Blood-Robed Marquis smiled cruelly, knowing that it would be difficult for Xuan Jian to kill Zi Nu with this move. In the blink of an eye, he moved to the side of Zi Nu and launched a sneak attack.
Zi Nu's eyes focused, and when she was ready to fight to the death, a slender figure stood in front of her. Without any nonsense and without holding back, the astonishing pink sword energy that temporarily dimmed the flames slashed towards Xuan Jian who was holding two swords in mid-air.
The afterimages of Ba Linglong were instantly wiped out. The moment Xuan Jian lost his mind, Jing Wei seized the opportunity and swung out another pink sword energy, which seriously injured Xuan Jian instantly.
It happened in a flash. The moment Jingwei appeared, Zi Nu knew that the matter was settled. She left the task to Jingwei with confidence. Facing the Xueyi Hou who was attacking her, she used the Chilian soft sword without hesitation, trying to strangle him.
The Blood-Robed Marquis's face changed drastically. He had not expected Jingwei to come so quickly and click the card so accurately. He retreated immediately.
Looking down at the place where Xuan Jian was killed by Jing Wei, he found that there was no figure left.
His face suddenly turned dark, and he angrily cursed Xuan Jian in his heart for being a good-for-nothing and running so fast!
The Blood-Robed Marquis was also an extraordinary person. When he realized that his plan was about to fail, he acted decisively and disappeared from the spot.
As soon as he got outside, he found Ji Wuye still fighting fiercely with Wei Zhuang, and couldn't help but cursed: "What a waste, after so long, he can't even take down Wei Zhuang!"
As if he thought of something, the Blood-Robed Marquis's face lit up with joy, and without caring about Ji Wuye, he disappeared from the spot again.
Jingwei walked up to Zinu and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Zi Nu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "It's just that I consumed too much internal energy. The rest are minor injuries. It's nothing serious."
After saying that, Zi Nu's pretty face became serious: "What's the situation over there, young master?"
Jingwei shook his head: "There is no ambush over there. Everything is as you expected, young master."
Zi Nu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again, a little regretful: "It's a pity that Zi Lan Xuan is destroyed, fortunately the sisters are still here."
Jingwei helped Zinu away from Zilanxuan which was about to burn down and collapse.
Marquis Xueyi was rushing towards the palace. Jingwei appeared, but Chengjiao did not.
Based on his understanding of the kid, it was impossible for him not to show off in front of him.
Well, there was only one reason why Cheng Jiao did not return with Jing Wei.
But now, Cheng Jiao has no experts around him and is all alone.
What he never expected was that after all the efforts he had made to create this killing spree came to an end, he found out that Cheng Jiao had become a lonely man. For him, there was no better news than this.
He secretly guessed that maybe Cheng Jiao thought that Ye Mu and Luo Wang were targeting Ying Zheng instead of him.
But Cheng Jiao would not know that he did not care whether Ying Zheng lived or died. What he cared about was the secret of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon that Cheng Jiao knew.
"Ok?"
When Marquis Xueyi was about to sneak into the palace, he saw a figure just coming out.
His eyes fixed, who else could this be but Cheng Jiao?
The bloody corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile, it was really true that after searching for a long time, he finally got it without any effort.
It seems that Madam Mingzhu has failed, so let him clean up the mess!
The Blood-Clothed Marquis did not act rashly and followed Cheng Jiao quietly.
The blow that Cheng Jiao used to kill Lao Ai that night was extremely powerful.
But he knew that it was not Cheng Jiao's power, but probably the power bestowed upon Cheng Jiao by the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon.
It is difficult to deal with a sudden deadlock without power that belongs to you.
Cheng Jiao was strolling in the pitch-black alleys. Since he had stayed with Madam Mingzhu for a little longer, he couldn't help but punish her severely again.
After satisfying Madam Mingzhu again, she passed by the side hall, glanced at King Han who was still sleeping soundly, and then left the palace with ease.
Just as Cheng Jiao was about to go to the place where he had agreed to meet Jingwei Zinu, he subconsciously stopped and sensed something was wrong.
The Blood-Clothed Marquis held his breath and looked at Cheng Jiao with suspicion and surprise in the darkness.
He didn't believe that he would be exposed. Due to the characteristics of his cultivation, his blood carried a cold force, like a bat, hiding in the dark. Even people who were much stronger than him would find it difficult to detect his presence if they didn't deliberately sense him. Not to mention a guy like Cheng Jiao who could only use external force.
Cheng Jiao narrowed his eyes. He didn't know who was following him, but he was sure that it was not one of his own.
What outsiders don’t know is that, perhaps it is the buff that the time traveler brings with him, although his level of skill is average, his spiritual perception is extremely extraordinary. Even if Jingwei sometimes deliberately hides it, he can still detect it.
Although he rarely uses this ability, at this moment, being alone, he cannot help but be cautious.
Cheng Jiao pretended not to notice and continued walking leisurely in the dark path.
However, he was extremely nervous, wondering who could have foreseen the future and ambushed him here.
Moreover, his concealment ability is so strong that he can only roughly judge his location, which is already no less than Jingwei.
Cheng Jiao's first suspect was Han Fei. It was not that he looked down on Ye Mu. Even if Ye Mu was monitoring his whereabouts, given the situation Ye Mu was in now, how could there be a powerful master who could ambush him?
However, the only top-level force Han Fei could mobilize seemed to be Ni Lin, and the way Ni Lin appeared was too ostentatious, and he also knew Ni Lin's aura, so it couldn't be Ni Lin.
As for Madam Mingzhu, Cheng Jiao ruled her out first. If Madam Mingzhu wanted to backstab him, the bond value would definitely fluctuate greatly. Besides, wouldn't it be better to do it on the bed?
Cheng Jiao's expression suddenly changed, thinking of the female marquis he had just talked about with Madam Mingzhu. Could it be this woman?
Thinking of this, Cheng Jiao's palms couldn't help but sweat and cold sweat appeared on his back.
When the cool breeze of the night blew, I sneezed loudly in the silent alleys...
While the Blood-Cloaked Marquis was confused, Cheng Jiao used his spiritual power to infuse his legs without hesitation, not sparing any physical strength, and ran away wildly.
If she is really a female marquis, based on the strength I have heard, she is definitely stronger than the top masters, at least stronger than Jingwei and Zinu who are already upper-level grandmasters.
Even if he used spiritual power, he could only exert an attack power similar to Jingwei. How could he dare to hang around in a place where no one was around?
When Xueyi Hou saw Cheng Jiao’s extremely fast speed, he immediately became anxious.
He couldn't help but yell, "Stop right there!"
crunch--
Hearing the familiar voice, Cheng Jiao braked urgently.
He looked at the Blood-Robed Marquis behind him with a dim gaze.
Cheng Jiao was furious when he thought about how he had scared himself just now. It turned out to be this monkey!
I really thought she was a fucking marquis!
Although I don't know why this grandson is here, but looking at the Blood-Robed Marquis with tattered and disheveled clothes, I know that he is seriously injured.
Cheng Jiao's eyes flashed slightly, and he hesitated whether to take the opportunity to kill the Blood-Clothed Marquis here.
The Blood-Clothed Marquis gritted his teeth and looked at Cheng Jiao. He would not have wanted to be exposed if he had not discovered that Cheng Jiao ran very fast.
"Lord Chang'an, there are thieves causing chaos in Xinzheng City. You are alone here, and I am worried that it is not safe. Do you need an escort?"
Cheng Jiao looked at the Blood-Robed Marquis who was approaching him while talking, and he became murderous.
After a few days of fermentation, rumors spread from time to time in Xinzheng that he had robbed the money from Jubao Pavilion, causing his attribute points to increase faster. Now it has exceeded a thousand, and he can break through to the grandmaster or fourth-level swordsmanship at any time. Combined with his spiritual power, he is confident that he can instantly kill the Blood-Robed Marquis at this time.
This grandson really wants to kill himself. He says some nice things but doesn't even wipe the blood from his mouth.
As the two were preparing to fight to the death, the sound of horse hooves was heard.
"It's this way. The Marquis' voice came from this side!"
Dozens of ice-armored soldiers wearing silver armor were galloping on the street, and they and the Blood-Robed Marquis attacked Cheng Jiao from the front and back, causing Cheng Jiao's face to turn black.
He muttered to the Blood-Robed Marquis, who was only seven or eight meters away: "Why are you yelling so loudly, monkey?"
Without any hesitation, he disappeared in front of the Blood-Clothed Marquis in the blink of an eye, making the Blood-Clothed Marquis furious and extremely crazy!
He really didn't expect that his personal guards would come at this time. Even if he could tie up Cheng Jiao first, it would be fine. Why did they come at this time!!!
"Shu Zi!!!"
After the Blood-Clothed Marquis roared, he spat out several mouthfuls of thick blood, which was filled with a chilling white aura.
A small group of ice-armored soldiers stopped beside the Blood-Robed Marquis, and their war horses neighed.
The Blood-Robed Marquis stared at the direction Cheng Jiao left with a gloomy gaze, and said with gritted teeth: "Chase him!"
