Chapter 25 Zi Lan Xuan Branch Plan

Cheng Jiao felt the temperature of the teacup, which was neither cold nor hot, and drank it all in one gulp.

"As long as I'm here, Ji Wuye won't die."

Zi Nu made another cup for Cheng Jiao.

"Sir, do you really want to cooperate with Ji Wuye?"

Cheng Jiao picked up the teacup, played with it, and sniffed the fragrance of the tea.

"I am interested in the phase. One hundred thousand gold is enough for me to do many things."

Wei Zhuang said coldly: "You are courting disaster."

"The game has not even started yet, and it is still unknown who will win."

Zi Nu suddenly laughed: "I guess the young master has already made up his mind, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Zi Lan Xuan."

Cheng Jiao put down his teacup and smiled: "The one who understands me is Zi Nu."

"Then hurry up and say it!"

Zi Nu was a little angry. Cheng Jiao made her feel so emotional. It was so difficult.

Cheng Jiao stood up and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the moonlight after the dark clouds.

"My cooperation with Ji Wuye will continue. The nobles have been sucking blood all the time, so it's not a bad thing to let them bleed occasionally."

"What are you going to do?" Wei Zhuang looked at Cheng Jiao.

“Within a few days, Jade Tiger will establish a chamber of commerce, Jubao Pavilion, and enter all walks of life with great fanfare, even metallurgy and salt trading, which are openly controlled by the state.

At that time, most of the nobles will wait and see, but when the first batch of nobles start to make huge profits, the rest will be unable to bear it and will rush in.

What we need to do is to break the trap at this time! Disrupt Ji Wuye's plan! Weaken his power!"

"It will be difficult for you to get 100,000 gold in this way. Don't you want to?"

Zi Nu was standing behind Cheng Jiao at this time, with her back to him.

"Of course I do. Ji Wuye is extremely greedy. There is no reason for him to give up the money he has earned. He will definitely clash with those nobles. Conflicts will lead to deaths. If people die, the money will naturally become ownerless."

"What a good trick to kill with a borrowed knife. I wonder how you got this money from Ji Wuye?"

"Then please wait and see, Miss Zi Nu."

Zi Nu blinked. "That's fine, too."

Wei Zhuang's indifferent voice came over: "This matter seems to have nothing to do with Zi Lan Xuan, what are you planning?"

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "Of course it is related. I fell in love with Miss Zi Nu the moment I saw her. This action is to obtain a betrothal gift for Miss Zi Nu."

Zi Nu was helpless: "Young Master, you are joking."

Cheng Jiao certainly wouldn't mess this up himself. If anyone had the ability and willingness to do so, it would have to be Zi Lanxuan or Han Fei.

Cheng Jiao coughed lightly, attracting Zi Nu to look over.

"One more thing. I'm planning to build a Zi Lan Xuan branch. What do you think?"

Zi Nu tilted her head and looked at Cheng Jiao in confusion.

"Zi Lan Xuan, branch?"

Cheng Jiao nodded: "Yes, Jade Tiger will not give up the control of Xinzheng's high-end club. Rather than let a conflict arise between you, it is better for me to intervene and secretly control it. On the surface, it belongs to Jubao Pavilion. Although you are tit-for-tat with each other, you are all a family in private."

Zi Nu said helplessly: "We have no choice but to do this. But we don't have the money to build another Zi Lan Xuan."

Cheng Jiao took Zi Nu's hand.

"I'll pay for this as part of the betrothal gift."

Zi Nu pulled her hand out from Cheng Jiao without leaving any trace.

"Then thank you first, sir."

Cheng Jiao didn't care: "Before that, I need Miss Zi Nu's help."

"Oh? How can I help?"

"The establishment of the Zi Lan Xuan branch requires a trustworthy person, preferably one with relevant experience, so that it can work well." "It seems that the young master has a candidate~"

"I think Hongyu and Caidie are pretty good, their kung fu is amazing."

"I have spent a lot of effort to train them. Sir, are you going to take them away just by talking?"

"As a token of my sincerity, how about I send you two thousand gold tomorrow?"

"Oh? Then sir, please take out the money you spent last night first."

Cheng Jiao began to laugh awkwardly: "This, this is just a small amount of money, a small amount of money, Miss Zi Nu won't mind it, right?"

Zi Nu glanced at Cheng Jiao and said, "No, I care a lot."

Cheng Jiao sighed: "A woman's heart is as elusive as a needle in the sea."

Zi Nu replied, "Every meal should be appreciated, and every piece of cloth should be cherished. Zi Nu is not as good as you, and Zi Lan Xuan has a big family to support."

Cheng Jiao begged for mercy again and again: "Miss Zi Nu is right. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely pay the money."

Zi Nu smiled and said, "It seems that you are really sincere, I will owe you the money for now."

"This is, of course, excellent." Cheng Jiao clapped his hands in applause.

Getting something for free is a pleasure, so why not do it?

Wei Zhuang drank a lot of tea and seemed unhappy listening to Cheng Jiao and Zi Nu's constant interaction.

"As far as I know, Ji Wuye has four fierce generals under his command, and the Night Shadow he founded is the strongest dark force in South Korea. How can you be sure of your own safety? Relying on that woman from last night?"

"Brother Wei Zhuang is very worried about my safety. With Miss Zi Nu protecting me, who can kill me? Isn't that right, Miss Zi Nu?"

"Okay, sir, stop using sweet words.

The Marquis in Blood Robe, the Emerald Tiger on the Stone, the Female Demon in the Sea Tide, the Man in Straw Raincoat under the Moon. Each of them is a difficult person to deal with. The Emerald Tiger is targeting the wealth of the entire Korean aristocracy when he makes a move.

If you underestimate this kind of power, I am afraid that Zi Nu will not be able to see the betrothal gift you personally gave her."

Cheng Jiao said cheerfully, "Miss Zi Nu, are you concerned about me?"

"The enemy is so powerful now, so we have to act with caution. Even if the young master is the Chang'an Lord of Qin, Ji Wuye will fight to the death if he finds out that the young master is an enemy. He won't worry about the war between Qin and Han, especially since the young master has almost no power in Qin now."

Zi Nu did not respond, but instead analyzed the situation for Cheng Jiao.

"No problem! My brother is invincible in the world. Who dares to kill his brother?"

"King Ying Zheng of Qin?" Wei Zhuang spoke.

His senior brother Gai Nie is now beside Ying Zheng and serves as his first swordsmanship teacher.

"The King of Qin has not yet taken power, so you should not place your trust in him. Lü Buwei is now very powerful, and if you want to seize power, the risk is huge, so you must act with caution."

Zi Nu suddenly discovered that Cheng Jiao had stepped into a huge vortex, and every enemy he calculated was standing at the top of the seven countries.

Ji Wuye, the all-powerful minister of Han State, and Lu Buwei, the powerful but weak king of Qin State, could be killed by anyone if they ignored the consequences.

Thinking of this, looking at Cheng Jiao who was not worried at all, I couldn't help but feel respect for him.

This is a man who dares to face the crisis!

"Risks often come with opportunities. As the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish."

At this time, Zi Nu admired Cheng Jiao, who was confident, wise and fearless.

“The one who laughs last is the winner. Many heroes are killed in the waves.”

Wei Zhuang struck mercilessly.

Cheng Jiao strolled in the house and looked up at the vast starry sky.

"The great river flows eastward, the waves wash away all the heroes of the ages. The hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, the seven powers of the Warring States Period, right and wrong, success and failure are all in vain. If you don't fight, how can you know that you can't stand proudly on the waves and be a hero?"

Wei Zhuang looked at the cup in front of him, savoring Cheng Jiao's exclamation.

Zi Nu looked at Cheng Jiao in the moonlight and couldn't help but smile. She seemed to like this guy a little.
