Chapter 31 Wake up, don't sleep
Cheng Jiao returned to the courtyard and entered Jingwei's house.

Jingwei was a little puzzled. What happened to Chengjiao?
As soon as he came back, he started talking incessantly, as if it was a farewell between life and death.

Jingwei gently held Cheng Jiao's hand and listened to him quietly. He didn't say anything, but his eyes kept changing as he looked at Cheng Jiao.

There is heartache, helplessness, and endless love.

As Cheng Jiao was talking, he fell asleep next to Jingwei. He had not slept a wink all night and could no longer hold on.

Jingwei got up carefully, took off his boots, put a thin blanket on Cheng Jiao, looked at the sleeping Cheng Jiao for a while, and slowly left the room.

She had already noticed Li Wu was outside the courtyard gate and was about to come in.

Jingwei made a gesture to Liwu to keep silent and pulled Liwu into the kitchen.

Li Wu was feeling very depressed, which made Jingwei feel very strange.

While washing rice, Jingwei asked, "Liwu, did something happen?"

Li Wu couldn't bear it any longer and told everything that happened last night.

Finally, he said, "The young master asked me to escort Li Kai for a while, but I didn't expect Li Kai to dig a hole in the wild and prepare to bury himself. I showed up to stop him, but he stopped me and gave me the three gold coins that the young master gave me, asking me to return them to the young master so that they wouldn't be wasted. He said that he found that he was able to live until now just by breathing, and now that he has no breath, it's time for him to go. It's good to die in his hometown and return to his roots. I was going to knock him out and take him away, but who knew that he would rather die than surrender. I'm so annoyed."

"What's the end?"

Li Wu was silent for a long time.

"I played a magical flute and made him close his eyes in bliss."

Jingwei was a little surprised. When did Liwu become so humane?

"A few months ago, the young master asked me to use the magic flute to send away an old man who was about to die. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I have some understanding."

Jingwei took Liwu's hand and said, "Isn't this great? Let's not let the young master know about this for now. He seems to be very disappointed today."

Li Wu nodded and started cooking in the kitchen with Jingwei.

She is a killer and an assassin, so not sleeping for a few days doesn't matter to her.

Jingwei cooked the porridge and made two simple side dishes, keeping them warm in the pot.

When he had nothing to do, he taught Li Wu how to use the sword.

They all come from the same place and their swordsmanship is extremely sharp.

Speaking of core elements, it’s only faster, more accurate, and more ruthless!

Jingwei could only teach Liwu how to be faster and more accurate, but he could not teach him how to be more ruthless.

Having lost the ruthlessness of an assassin and gained the chivalry of a swordsman, how can one use a ruthless sword again?

The same goes for Li Wu. They have already left the life of an assassin both physically and mentally. With that person, they don't have to be afraid of falling into it again.

Jingwei felt the changes in the Jingwei Sword. Although his combat power had not increased, his state of mind in using the sword was constantly improving.

While practicing sword, Xiao Yan'er started crying loudly. Jingwei quickly threw the sword aside, went into the house to comfort Xiao Yan'er, and took off his clothes to feed Xiao Yan'er.

Cheng Jiao woke up when Xiao Yaner cried and looked at Jingwei with a smile.

Jingwei's face was slightly red, but she was not as shy as usual and hummed a nursery rhyme of that era.

"There's food in the kitchen. I'll bring it to you."

Jingwei put down Xiaoyaner who had fallen asleep again and prepared to bring the cooked porridge and vegetables.

Cheng Jiao lifted the quilt, put on his boots, stretched himself, and did not reject Jingwei's plan.

He was enjoying everything about this morning, and it seemed like it was almost noon now.

After Cheng Jiao finished his brunch with the help of Li Wu and Jing Wei, he left the courtyard contentedly and prepared to find the Emerald Tiger to bring over the Fire Queen, oh no, the Fire Demon Queen.

"Sir, Tiger has something else to do today. He is going to build the Treasure Pavilion. How about letting the general's men take you there?"

Emerald Tiger couldn't hide his joy, he raised tens of thousands of gold in just one day. The nobles are so damn rich!
It doesn't matter if it happens, as long as the goal is achieved.

An old man in aristocratic clothing came over and bowed to Feicuihu and Cheng Jiao. Cheng Jiao looked at the old man with a beard and mustache, and thought for a while before he realized who he was.

Isn’t this the old man that Wushuang Gui used to break the thousand-year-old crystal coffin that imprisoned Yan Lingji?
I have to say, this old man's head is really tough, his brain didn't burst.

"Sir, please come this way."

Cheng Jiao followed the old man, got on the carriage driven by Li Wu, and arrived at a secret dungeon outside the city of Xinzheng.

Walking in the dark and damp dungeon, Cheng Jiao felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but wonder how Yan Lingji could endure the coldness in the thousand-year-old crystal coffin if she stayed here.

"Where are your soldiers? Hurry up and open the dungeon on the bottom floor!"

The soldier quickly found his head.

"The adults are here? Didn't you say we'll have to wait for a while?"

"Master Feicuihu asked me to bring you here to pick up the goods. It's the Baiyue woman that you reported to Master a few days ago."

The general didn't ask any more questions. He was the officer in the army who was specifically in charge of guarding captured slaves.

It was just that a few days ago, Feicuihu specifically told me not to let the people from the palace take the women in the water dungeon on the bottom floor away. He had a use for them, and the rest were at his disposal. That's why I asked.

The soldier hurried forward to open the gate, and the heavy gate opened with a bang, making Cheng Jiao feel the ground shaking.

"Sir, please come inside."

Li Wu followed Cheng Jiao holding a flute with a stern face, but at the same time she was curious about what kind of beauty could make the young master care so much about her.

A huge crystal coffin rose from the ground, which made people surprised.

Such a huge crystal coffin made Cheng Jiao marvel at it. The technology inside the Qin Dynasty is really a mystery. It can almost be compared with modern manufacturing.

There was no water in the thousand-year-old crystal coffin. A beautiful woman in tattered prison clothes was curled up with her head lowered, hugging her calves, sitting quietly in a corner.

The young general quickly explained: "We just put her in, and haven't filled it with water yet. But we've already put the drug in, so there's no need to worry about breaking the crystal coffin."

Cheng Jiao waved his hand: "Okay, give me the antidote, and you guys can go out first."

Old man: “This”

"Don't you understand?"

Cheng Jiao squinted his eyes and looked at the old man's head, wanting to take a hammer to test the hardness of the old man.

The old man felt a chill on the top of his head.

He exchanged glances with the young general and nodded.

The young general decisively took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Cheng Jiao.

Afterwards, he followed the old man out of the dungeon and behaved very well.

The person who could be brought here personally by the old man must have a special relationship with the general, and he could not afford to offend him.

Cheng Jiao waited quietly for a while, and Li Wu said softly: "There is no one here."

Cheng Jiao nodded, walked to the crystal coffin, and looked at Yan Lingji carefully.

Even though he is in such a state of decline, he still attracts people at first sight. This charm is enough to make people want to die!

He knocked on the crystal coffin, but there was no loud sound and Yan Lingji did not react at all.

Cheng Jiao had no choice but to stretch out his fist and start smashing it.

"Hey, wake up, don't sleep anymore, it's time to go!"

　Please read it!

　　The survival of the book depends on this!

　　All for living!
