Chapter 365 It’s embarrassing
Cheng Jiaolang said with a smile: "General Gongsun is still strong despite his old age. This young master was known as soon as he arrived in Yewang."

Gongsun Yu laughed loudly: "Haha, Chang'an Jun is now on a diplomatic mission to another country, everyone in the world knows about this!"

Cheng Jiao thought, is it that exaggerated?
Lao Lu didn't even cover up for himself? Didn't he know that his daughter was still with him?

Zhuanpo Mihun appeared beside Cheng Jiao and whispered about the situation.

Cheng Jiao understood that Jing Ke didn't know how to keep a low profile. He was sparring with others near the palace. He really thought he was Ximen Chuxue, fighting with Ye Gucheng on the top of the Forbidden City.

Jing Ke rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed.

I originally came here to learn swordsmanship from this old man and see if I could become his apprentice.

As a result, he met Han Shen who was passing by Yewang. Before they could even start fighting, he was defeated by Gongsun Yu.

He didn't know what to say.

Should I worship this master or not?
Han Shen, with a resolute expression, retracted his sword, looked at Jing Ke, and whispered, "Run?"

Jing Ke said indifferently: "Why are you running? Cheng Jiao is here, let him handle it. We just had a fight in the city, it's nothing."

Han Shen glanced at Cheng Jiao and didn't feel anything different. He knew that this might be a master who was better than himself.

The person who can make Gongsun Yu treat him with caution is not an ordinary young master.

Gongsun Yu gave a few instructions, and the hundreds of city guards around him quietly left.

Cheng Jiao couldn't help but admire him, saying that he was worthy of being a great general and was known as the last resort of defending the country.

One simple move can tell that Gongsun Yu has a deep understanding of military tactics.

Gongsun Yu laughed loudly and said, "Chang'an Jun has come to Yewang, how can I not entertain him? How about inviting you to stay at my house for a few days?"

Cheng Jiao smiled faintly and said, "The general has invited me, so I'd better obey his order."

Niang Rong whispered, "We just paid the deposit at the inn."

Meng Niang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you to get it back."

Niang Rong immediately became happy. Two gold coins could at least buy some small things.

If Cheng Jiao hadn't used her private money, she wouldn't have taken it so seriously.

She is the daughter of a prime minister, her father is known as the richest man in the world, but she herself does not have a penny.

If this were to be made known to others, the whole world would laugh at it and it would be so embarrassing.

Gan Luo waited in the inn for a long time but Cheng Jiao and the others did not come back, and he was puzzled.

What happened? Did something happen to Cheng Jiao?

The Great Sima and the Black and White Sima, who were watching Gan Luo from a distance, were also confused.

Did Cheng Jiao give up Gan Luo?
After another stick of incense had passed, Gan Luo, who was a little impatient, found the innkeeper.

"Where did Master Cheng Jiao and the others go?"

The shopkeeper who was keeping the accounts looked around and whispered, "They went to Gongsun Yu's house."

Gan Luo nodded. So that's it.

"Does Prime Minister Lu have any other instructions?"

The shopkeeper whispered, "Prime Minister Lu said that as long as the young lady's safety is guaranteed, Cheng Jiao should be allowed to stay in Handan, Zhao State."

Gan Luo tried to probe: "What is Lu Xiang's plan? Do you need my cooperation?"

Shopkeeper: “I don’t know.”

Gan Luo nodded slightly and was about to leave when he was stopped by the shop owner.

"Wait, the deposit is still there."

Gan Luo took the bag of ten gold coins, weighed it, and said, "Isn't it two gold coins?"

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation."

Gan Luo gave the shopkeeper a meaningful look.

I really want to tell him that you invested in the wrong person.

Seeing Gan Luo readily accept the ten gold coins, the shopkeeper was very happy.

Being able to manage the inn left by Lu Buwei in Wei State, he naturally has the ability to judge people.

Gan Luo was entrusted with an important task at such a young age, and he might become very successful in the future. It would not cost much to take care of him now.

When Gan Luo left the inn and went to Gongsun Yu to find Cheng Jiao.

Da Siming brought the two little ones to the inn.

The shopkeeper immediately came over and asked with a smile, "Sir, are you here to stay or eat?"

The Great God of Destiny was just about to use his magic to trick the shopkeeper into telling him where Gan Luo had gone.

All I heard was a pleasant girl's voice.

"Meng Niang, slow down, why are you in such a hurry?"

Meng Niang said helplessly: "The young master has already gone to Gongsun Yu's general's mansion. We can't stay outside for too long."

Niang Rong chuckled and said, "Why don't you go in and get the money? I'll wait for you here."

Meng Niang patted Niang Rong's little head and said, "Okay, don't think about running away. If we are not around, you will be in danger."

Niang Rong muttered, "I think it's most dangerous to stay with you. If I slip away, at least my father's Luowang people can escort me."

Meng Niang looked at Niang Rong in surprise, "You want to go back to Xianyang?"

Niang Rong and Meng Niang walked into the inn. "I don't really want to, but I also want to stay with Cheng Jiao and watch him messing around with all kinds of women every day. Look at those three beauties. If Cheng Jiao saw them, he would definitely be tempted."

Meng Niang glanced at the three women of Da Sima Ming. She didn't expect to meet the top masters rarely seen in the world here.

He gently pulled Niangrong, signaling her to talk less.

Niang Rong mistakenly thought that Meng Niang didn't believe it, and snorted, "You don't believe it? I'm sure that Cheng Jiao is definitely, definitely, definitely interested in them. Haven't you seen that all the pretty girls have been ruined by him?"

Da Siming crossed his arms across his chest, an inexplicable smile on his cold and beautiful face.

"Little girl, it's not nice to gossip about others behind their backs."

Niang Rong was stunned: "Did you hear it?"

The two little ones, black and white, turned their faces away.

With their level of cultivation, a sound that was only seven or eight meters away sounded no different from if it was right next to their ears.

Da Siming chuckled and said, "I heard it all."

There was a hint of sarcasm in her beautiful eyes. This was good. She could get the information she wanted without using the Yin-Yang School's mind-confusing techniques.

Since Cheng Jiao went to Gongsun Yu's general's mansion, Gan Luo should have gone there as well.

Then he said to the innkeeper, "Stay in the inn, one of the upper rooms."

The shopkeeper took the gold coin and was overjoyed. All the customers he met today were generous.

Niang Rong curled her lips and said, "It's best to hear it. I'm kindly reminding you not to appear in front of Cheng Jiao. Even if you are top masters, it will be useless."

The Great Sima snorted coldly: "Take care of yourself and don't lose Prime Minister Lu's people."

Niang Rong's breath was choked and her teeth were itching with anger.

Meng Niang frowned slightly.

What are the origins of these three women? It seems that they know Cheng Jiao and that Niang Rong is the daughter of Lu Buwei.

Could it be someone from Luowang?
No, if they were from Luowang, they wouldn’t treat Niangrong like this.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

Meng Niang kept this question in mind and raised it after she reunited with Cheng Jiao.

When Niang Rong saw the three women from Da Siming coming upstairs, her eyes turned red and she was so angry. She had given them a kind reminder but was still treated coldly.

She thought about how everyone had bullied her since she left Xianyang.

Niang Rong sobbed.

Meng Niang comforted her, "Don't cry. If you feel uncomfortable, I will go find the young master to help you vent your anger."

Niang Rong stopped immediately and said righteously, "Don't, don't do that. If he sees those three women, he will be in trouble and harm decent women!"

Meng Niang's eyes curved with laughter. As expected, as long as the commission was paid, Niang Rong would not care about being angry.
