Chapter 212 Wanting Cheng Jiao to be the daughter of Bloody Marquis’ father
In the past two days, there was no major conflict in Xinzheng Wangcheng after Cheng Jiao left, but it was unusually peaceful.

It was somewhat different from what Cheng Jiao had expected. After Li Si completed his diplomatic mission to Korea with great fanfare and left with Tianze, all the nobles, big and small, in Xinzheng City breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how much the Night and the Flowing Sands quarreled, it was just an internal fight. Compared with the Qin State, a big tiger that could eat people at any time at the doorstep, it could not scare them. At most, it was just a change of master.

Zilanxuan in Xinzheng City has become history. The new Zilanxuan in Lanxiu Villa outside Xinzheng City started business the day after Cheng Jiao left.

Thanks to the Zi Lan Xuan distribution plan implemented by Cheng Jiao before, Xiao Hongyu and Zi Die had already completed the decoration of Lanxiu Villa according to the internal layout of Zi Lan Xuan more than a month ago.

Of course, the blueprints were designed by Liusha's chief designer Wei Zhuang himself. He had not only built the Zi Lan Xuan in Xinzheng City, but also designed the secret passage leading to the secret room inside Jubao Pavilion, playing an indelible role.

In Lanxiu Villa, Zi Nu was burning incense and brewing tea, while Ying Ge was kneeling beside her, helping her pass things.

Han Fei and Wei Zhuang were watching the waterfall on the rooftop.

"Why is there no movement in the night?"

Wei Zhuang rubbed the shark's teeth slowly and gracefully.

"The Raincoat Man has mobilized almost all of Korea's spies in the past two days to conduct a carpet search for Cheng Jiao's whereabouts."

Han Fei was very confused: "Why did Ye Mu look for him? The money from Jubao Pavilion must have arrived in Xianyang a long time ago. Does Ye Mu still want revenge?"

Wei Zhuang glanced at Han Fei and said, "Compared to Cheng Jiao, I think Ji Wuye's Night and your fourth brother's Iron Blood Alliance want you to die first."

"That's true. Cheng Jiao is now with the King of Qin and should be leaving Korea soon. No matter how unwilling Ye Mu is, he will have to give up. Alas, the good days are numbered, and it's time to blame Cheng Jiao."

Wei Zhuang did not comment.

Han Fei glanced at Zi Nu who was concentrating on brewing tea and studying tea art in the house, and sighed: "Since Cheng Jiao left, Miss Zi Nu has been dealing with the trivial matters of Zi Lan Xuan and Liu Sha, practicing sword dance, or improving her tea art. This Cheng Jiao is obviously not as handsome as me, nor as talented as me, but he is still attracting bees and butterflies everywhere. How can Zi Nu be reluctant to leave? Brother Wei Zhuang, why don't you do anything about it?"

Han Fei said this even though he knew that Zi Nu was his nominal sister.

Wei Zhuang felt that Han Fei was mocking him. "I heard you complain just now that Princess Honglian has lost her appetite these past two days and looks quite haggard. As her brother, why don't you take any action?"

Han Fei shrugged. Okay, Brother Wei Zhuang will also prick his heart.

While Han Fei and Wei Zhuang were speaking harshly to each other, the female marquis walked in the woods with an elegant and graceful step, her steps like crystal mirrors.

If it weren't for the occasional galloping horse, one would have thought that such a graceful and beautiful woman was taking a walk in the woods.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of the woman's mouth, and she whispered a name and a secret.

Last night, Marquis Blood-Robed brought the Straw-Robed Guest into Snow-Robed Castle and reported on the whereabouts of the Qin envoy's convoy.

Exactly one day and one night had passed, so Bai Yifei was not punished by her.

She is now considering whether to release King Ying Zheng of Qin. The Qin State is too powerful. If something goes wrong, the State of Han will be destroyed overnight.

Although she didn't care about the survival or demise of Han, if Qin destroyed Han, her Snow Castle would be gone.

The natural terrain of Snow Castle is very suitable for her to practice ice skills.

However, if she really obtains the power of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon, what does it matter if she loses all these? The power that is invincible in the world is what she pursues.

Most importantly, when accumulating spiritual power, she discovered that spiritual power could not only improve physical fitness, but also prolong life.

Thinking of the legend that Peng Zu lived for eight hundred years, the female marquis' heart was burning with joy.

Cheng Jiao didn't know that the female marquis was looking for him. Facing the red-haired man with a smile on his face and an evil look, he said he had a headache and couldn't help but glared at Yanri fiercely. If he came to Xinzheng to assassinate the king, then he should assassinate the king and kill him. Why contact Lao Zhao for no reason?

Zhao Gao politely bowed to Cheng Jiao and said, "Zhao Gao greets Lord Chang'an."

Jingwei's hand was already on the Jingwei sword. She was extremely wary of her former boss and worried that Cheng Jiao would fall into Zhao Gao's trap without realizing it.

Cheng Jiao said calmly: "Zhao Gao, you are not with the Queen Mother, why did you come to Han and stop me?"

Zhao Gao glanced at Jingwei behind Cheng Jiao and the carriage behind Gai Nie, and said softly, "The Queen Mother is worried about the King of Qin, so she specially ordered Zhao Gao to come and protect him."

Before he left, he reported to Zhao Ji in advance that the King of Qin had secretly fled to Han State. Zhao Ji asked him to go and protect Ying Zheng as soon as possible.

Ying Zheng lifted the curtain and stepped down, and Zhao Gao knelt down quickly.

"Meet the King of Qin."

Ying Zheng did not respond, but instead asked coldly: "How did you know I was in Korea?"

Zhao Gao did not dare to hide anything, and told him the secret letter from Yanri and the fact that Lü Buwei had approached him privately to assassinate Cheng Jiao in the name of letting the six sword slaves cooperate and obey Xuan Jian. Of course, he also emphasized his own carefulness and speculation, and frequently expressed his loyalty to the King of Qin and the Queen Mother.

Ying Zheng's expression softened and he smiled faintly, "My queen mother still cares about me. Zhao Gao, you are very good. Come with the convoy."

Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief. He had made the right bet. As long as he could get rid of Lu Buwei and the King of Qin came to power, he, Zhao Gao, would surely reach the pinnacle of power and would not just be a killer chief who handled dirty work.

Li Si glanced at Zhao Gao inadvertently. He saw his own shadow in Zhao Gao. They were both unscrupulous in pursuit of power, even gambling with their future and lives.

Cheng Jiao smiled and patted Zhao Gao: "Old Zhao, congratulations."

Zhao Gao was extremely frightened by Cheng Jiao's enthusiasm. If he was expected to reach the pinnacle of power in the future, then Cheng Jiao would almost certainly become a part of power itself.

If Cheng Jiao had a bad relationship with the King of Qin, even if he had a relatively good relationship with the King of Qin before, he would still be able to put himself in good shape without this merit of protecting the King.

But now, after experiencing countless palace fights, Zhao Gao can clearly realize that in their interest group, if the King of Qin is the top leader, then the King of Qin’s brother Cheng Jiao is definitely the second-in-command, and a second-in-command with enormous power.

"Chang'an Jun is sorry for Zhao Gao's disgrace. Just call me Xiao Zhao. I hope Chang'an Jun can help me more in the future."

Seeing Zhao Gao being so humble and polite, how could he have the nerve to squeeze money out of him in the future.

"Well, let's go with Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao, where are your six sword slaves?"

Zhao Gao looked at the King of Qin who was returning to the carriage with the letter in his hand, "To prevent any misunderstanding, have them follow not far away."

Cheng Jiao narrowed his eyes slightly. These six sword slaves were not as strong as they would be in the later stages, but according to Jing Wei, their combined strength was enough to pose a threat to her now, especially to weaker top masters such as Tian Ze, who could be crushed and killed instantly.

"Is that so? Then let them keep watch on the surroundings first. Oh, by the way, there is a woman in the forest, she is Dongjun from the Yin-Yang family, don't get me wrong."

"Zhao Gao understands."

Cheng Jiao watched Zhao Gao leave to call the Six Sword Slaves, thinking in his mind how to get the Six Sword Slaves away from Old Zhao. However, these Six Sword Slaves were Old Zhao's second life, so it might not be easy.

Before Cheng Jiao could figure out how to fool Lao Zhao, he found that Yan Fei, who had been nowhere to be seen, was standing quietly beside him, making Jing Wei subconsciously stand across Cheng Jiao's side.

Yan Fei glanced at Jingwei who was wary of her. She was a little surprised that Jingwei, a top master who was not much weaker than her, was so loyal to Cheng Jiao.

"There is a master approaching, he is not hiding, and he is very powerful."

Cheng Jiao frowned. There were not many people who could be called a master by Yan Fei and whom Yan Fei took seriously.

"Yes……"

Before Cheng Jiao could ask Yan Fei, a lazy and gentle royal sister's voice was heard.

"Master Cheng Jiao ran away so fast that he almost let you leave Korea."

Jingwei drew his sword without hesitation, and he and Yanfei stood on the left and right of Cheng Jiao, looking at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of the convoy.

Cheng Jiao quickly reviewed his memories and found that he didn't recognize the woman in front of him at all.

Such a powerful and beautiful woman, huh?

He found himself in a dark place, could this be the female marquis he had been worried about in Xinzheng?

"You are... the Marquis? Bai Yifei's mother?"

Cheng Jiao was a little uncertain and didn't understand why the female marquis didn't stop him in Xinzheng but chased him to the border between Qin and Han.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly in the carriage, a little unhappy, and threw the letter he had just picked up beside Li Si.

"what happened?"

Gai Nie stood on the carriage, with the Linyuan sword already unsheathed and in his hand.

"Your Majesty, there are enemies."

"who?"

"A woman."

"Strong?"

"Very strong."

Li Si became worried, thinking that this might be Lu Buwei's backup plan.

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si, who seemed a little worried, and said unhappily, "With Cheng Jiao here, what are you afraid of?"

Li Si said nervously: "I am worried that this is Lü Buwei..."

"Humph!"

Li Si quickly shut up. He knew that he had lost control of his emotions, which made Ying Zheng a little unhappy.

"Who is the Marquis? Is she very powerful?"

Gai Nie pondered and said, "I once heard the teacher mention that the only female marquis in Korea was from the Bai clan in Korea. She had a brief fight with the teacher more than 20 years ago. At that time, the female marquis already had the strength of an upper-level grandmaster. It is estimated that she is even stronger now."

Li Si's heart moved: "When I was in Xinzheng, I heard Han Fei mention a legend about her."

Ying Zheng asked lightly: "What legend?"

"Her eyes can dim the starry sky, and she has killed countless souls with her swords. But her beauty makes people feel that even death is just a gentle process. No one has ever seen her age, and she has always maintained her most beautiful face... It is said that she has reached a powerful and unspeakable contract with darkness, and it needs the purest blood to maintain it."

Ying Zheng said disdainfully: "Practicing with human blood, it turns out to be something shameful."

Gai Nie looked around alertly to prevent other people. After hearing the rumors told by Li Si, "The rumors are probably not true. Teacher said that the female marquis's icy internal force had already reached perfection back then, and it would be difficult to change to other martial arts."

The female marquis did not rush to attack, but instead looked at Cheng Jiao. When she heard Gai Nie's whisper, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I didn't realize that you knew so much. I wonder how much you have learned from old Gongsun."

Cheng Jiao saw that the female marquis did not seem to have any intention to kill her, so he tried to ask, "I wonder why you came here?"

The female marquis stretched her slender and graceful figure and smiled: "I haven't been out for a long time. I heard that there is a young man who is very handsome and talented. I am very happy to hear that, so I came to meet him."

Yan Fei glanced at Cheng Jiao suspiciously. No matter how she looked at him, this guy was not as good as the female marquis said. Seeing Yan Fei's strange look, Cheng Jiao's mouth twitched.

Although he might be better than what the Marquis said, it's not enough for the Marquis to care so much.

With only Jingwei and Yanfei by his side, Cheng Jiao felt a little unstable and decided to delay for a while, waiting for Zhao Gao and the Six Sword Slaves to come and beat him up together. After all, he still felt a little guilty about facing a master at the level of Heaven and Man.

"Now that you have seen it, are you satisfied?"

The female marquis nodded slightly and said, "Very satisfied. I wonder if you are willing to stay with me in Snow Castle?"

Cheng Jiao grinned. Did he like him? Not really!

"Well, I am a member of the Qin royal family after all..."

The female marquis smiled faintly: "That's perfect, are you willing to marry me?"

???

Yan Fei, Jing Wei, and even Gai Nie Ying Zheng in the carriage were all stunned.

The person involved, Cheng Jiao, was even more confused.

There was a cold look in the eyes of the female marquis. The Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon was of great importance. It would be best if they could obtain it without making any noise.

I learned from Bai Yifei that Cheng Jiao is extremely lustful and likes beautiful women.

She was extremely confident in her appearance, which was no worse than Yan Fei and Jing Wei who were beside Cheng Jiao.

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "I have just met you once and I don't even know your name. It's too hasty. There is no need for that."

It was true that he liked beautiful women, but that was based on the premise that his life was not in danger. If he really went back to Snow Castle with the female marquis, he would probably not live a shameless life, but be squeezed dry and drained of blood...

"Then please remember, my name is Bai Luan."

Bai Luan smiled, but felt a little impatient in her heart.

Cheng Jiao took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Miss Bai Luan. I haven't considered marriage yet. If you don't mind, how about I tell my mother and then discuss it?"

He thought it would be best not to take action and wait until he arrived in Xianyang to decide everything.

Bai Luan's face turned cold, and she looked even more stern and stunning. "Cheng Jiao, you have to go with me today even if you don't want to. It's not up to you!"

Cheng Jiao's eyelids twitched. No way, Bai Yifei's mother liked him so much? When did this happen?
Although he is very interested in being the fake father of the Blood-Robed Marquis, Bai Luan looks about the same age as Zi Nu and Jing Wei, so who knows if he is the Child-Fairy of Tianshan.

Cheng Jiao took a step back without leaving a trace, letting Bai Luan know that it would not work if he didn't take any force today.

Yan Fei and Jing Wei looked solemn. As soon as Bai Luan made a move, the surrounding area of ​​dozens of meters became cold, which affected them a little.

An ice phoenix quietly emerged from behind the white phoenix, surrounded by cold mist. The sound of the phoenix's cry resounded through heaven and earth, adding three points to the coldness.

The invisible force spread out, and the cold air condensed into countless ice crystal spears and short arrows out of thin air, ready to be launched.

Yan Fei's moist face was solemn. She stretched out her slender jade hands and formed a seal. As the hand seal flipped, huge black gold wings spread out behind her and flapped gently.

He shouted softly: "Soul, Dragon Swimming!"

A three-legged golden crow also slowly emerged behind Yan Fei, with light golden mist rising from it. It spread its wings, like a sun, and with a cry, it emitted endless heat, dispelling the chill brought by Bing Luan.

Shrouded in the shadow of the three-legged golden crow, Concubine Yan's face became extremely beautiful and delicate, becoming even more noble and elegant, as if she were a god high above.

Cheng Jiao's heart suddenly moved...

The giant phantom of ice phoenix carrying endless ice spears and short arrows collided with the phantom of the three-legged golden crow silently. The ice spears were annihilated, and the bright light golden three-legged golden crow became dim. Everyone could feel the tearing force inside.

A strange look flashed in Bai Luan's beautiful eyes. She had heard long ago that the Yin-Yang School was different from the Taoist School. It did not involve practicing step by step, but rather pursuing the ultimate limit of heaven and man. All methods of practice were designed to enable them to enter heaven and man.

She could clearly sense the spiritual power contained in the three-legged golden crow. She was able to condense spiritual power without breaking through the heavenly realm, which showed Yan Fei's talent and strength.

After Yan Fei took action, Jing Wei also took action.

The sword technique is Jingwei sword technique, and the swordsmanship is Jingwei swordsmanship.

As a pure swordsman, unlike Bai Luan and Yan Fei who are so cool, Jing Wei simply draws and strikes the sword.

Bai Luan frowned slightly. Jingwei's sword intent easily tore through her ice field, which made her feel a little bit dangerous.

When Jingwei was about to stab Bailuan, a white sword appeared in Bailuan's hand.

When she came over, she took away the red and white swords that she had lent to Bai Yifei.

Although Gai Nie knew that she had superb ice magic, he did not know that she was also a swordsman before and her sword was not much weaker than Jing Wei's.

Yan Fei did not expect that Bai Luan was so powerful. Even if she did not hold back at all and directly used the Soul Xi Long You skill which was only mastered by very few people in Yin Yang family, she was only on par with her Bing Luan.

Then he formed a seal again, using a Qi control technique that required strong internal strength to support it, "Yin Yang Hand Seal!"

Yin and Yang condensed in Yan Fei's hand in the blink of an eye. The terrifying power was released and retracted, and faint waves were transmitted in the air.

He did not attack Bing Luan who was restrained by the three-legged golden crow, but instead faced Bai Luan. He used countless Yin-Yang hand seals to attack Bai Luan, forcing Bai Luan, who had just gained a considerable advantage over Jing Wei, to return to defense.

Cheng Jiao looked at the fight that seemed like a fantasy blockbuster and smacked his lips, somewhat incredulous.

It wasn't the intensity of the battle that dazzled him, but...

This so-called celestial being is so weak. He was so scared that he thought Jingwei and Yanfei couldn't stop him. He prepared to add points to his deep blue and upgrade his swordsmanship to level four to join the just beating.

As a result, Jingwei and Yanfei were able to stop Bailuan together.

If we delay a little longer, Old Zhao will come with the six sword slaves, won’t they be able to capture Bai Luan?
hiss--

It seems that it is not impossible to be the father of the Bloody Marquis...

Bai Luan was a little annoyed. The only information Bai Yifei provided was about Jing Wei, so how come there were also people from the Yin-Yang family?

If Jingwei was alone, she could easily take her down without using her spiritual power.

Fortunately, there are only Jingwei and Yanfei now, so she can suppress them with her years of strong internal strength.

But what surprised her was that Cheng Jiao was indifferent and did not participate in the battle.

Did he really think that the two women in front of him could stop her?
In an instant, Bai Luan no longer held back, and burst out with all her icy internal energy without reservation, causing the pressure on Jingwei and Yanfei to increase suddenly.

Jingwei took more than ten steps back, came to Yanfei's side, and said softly: "She didn't use her full strength just now."

Yan Fei glanced at Bai Luan, who was holding the red and white swords and exuding a chilling aura.

"Are you sure you can get close?"

Jingwei shook his head slightly: "It's difficult. Her internal force is very strong, and her body is full of icy internal force. In particular, her sword intent is not worse than mine, plus her icy domain. If it weren't for your support, I would have been defeated now. But if Zhao Gao and the six sword slaves arrive, we can take her down."

Yan Fei's pretty face turned slightly cold. She thought it was a boring escort mission, but she didn't expect to meet such a woman here.

But she can confirm that this woman is far worse than Donghuang. Did she not use her spiritual power?

She was not as optimistic as Jingwei. Unlike Jingwei, she knew about things above the heavens.

In this era, it may not be difficult to break through the realm, but if you want to have the strength to match it, you must gather spiritual power. The gathering of spiritual power is very mentally exhausting, and it is usually easier to do it in deep mountains and old forests or famous mountains and rivers where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is relatively abundant.

Seeing Yan Fei and Jing Wei being beaten back by Bai Luan again, Cheng Jiao frowned.

What's wrong with Old Zhao? If this goes on, even if Yan Fei and Jing Wei can withstand Bai Luan's fierce bombardment and keep using their ultimate moves, the two women's internal strength won't last long.

But the good thing now is that he sees that this celestial being doesn't seem to be that good, and Yan Fei and Jing Wei can stop him. When the time comes, he will try his best to abduct Yan Fei, the Moon Goddess, the eldest son Siming and Madam Xiang, strengthen Ali, Li Wu, Yan Lingji and the others, and directly attack Donghuang Taiyi.

Just when Cheng Jiao was about to step forward to provide support and relieve the pressure on Jingwei and Yanfei, Zhao Gao arrived late.

Zhao Gao was secretly shocked when he saw the place that had been cleared out by Bai Luan, Jing Niu and Yan Fei.

His strength is comparable to that of the current Jingwei, and Yanfei's fighting ability is also very strong. The two women combined can only struggle to hold on against Bailuan.

"Old Zhao, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up!"

Cheng Jiao frowned and urged.

Go and call the Six Sword Slaves. It took so much time. Otherwise, we would have captured the Blood-Cloaked Marquis's mother long ago.

Zhao Gao's eyes flickered, "Let's go together!"

The Six Sword Slaves are six in one, with both offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as control-type players like Soul Transformation and Soul Destruction.

Cheng Jiao did not focus on observing the Six Sword Slaves, but only on Zhao Gao.

In the original book, this guy never did much, so I don't know what tricks he had.

Bai Luan's expression changed after Zhao Gao and the Six Sword Slaves joined him.

What's going on with Cheng Jiao? There are masters who are comparable to the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the giant of the Mohist school. There are many of them around us, more common than cabbages.

Hundreds of ice spears suddenly condensed around Bai Luan, forming a formation and attacking the six sword slaves directly.

The two swords blocked the attacks of Jingwei and Yanfei respectively. Zhao Gao sinisterly stretched out his hands, which were whiter than a woman's. His long nails flashed a faint blood light, and he grabbed Bai Luan's delicate neck mercilessly.

Cheng Jiao muttered, "Could it be that this old Zhao is practicing Mei Chaofeng's version of the Nine Yin Manual? The Nine Yin White Bone Claw?"

A cold light flashed in Bai Luan's eyes. Without using her spiritual power, she could at most protect herself from Jingwei Yanfei and Zhao Gao. With the addition of the Six Sword Slaves, she would be in danger of death.

She glanced hatefully at Cheng Jiao, who seemed to be watching a show not far away. If she couldn't dig out the secret of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon from Cheng Jiao and obtain the power of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon, she would have to turn Cheng Jiao into an ice sculpture pendant.

Seeing the anger in Bai Luan's eyes, Cheng Jiao subconsciously touched his nose.

So what? If you like me, then just like me. Why do you have to get me? If you can't get me, you want to force me to be his father. Is this polite to Marquis Xueyi?
Oh, it seems that he will become Madam Mingzhu’s uncle…

Of course, Cheng Jiao understood that Bai Luan probably didn't like him, but was probably plotting something from him.

Facing the bloody claws that Zhao Gao stretched out, Bai Luan began to mobilize the spiritual power that he had accumulated over the years, and once again became angry and shouted:
"roll!"
