Chapter 366 Li Ji
"Store owner, give me your money back!"

Meng Niang knocked on the table.

The shopkeeper had just received a gold coin and was very happy. He glanced at Meng Niang and wondered, "What money? Didn't you return it?"

"What? Who did you return it to? That was my private money!"

Niang Rong raised her voice and shouted.

She felt very depressed, wondering if this was a shady shop that was trying to steal her money.

She finally managed to hide some private money while Cheng Jiao had forgotten about the matter. How could it be easy for her!
The shopkeeper shuddered, never expecting that the deposit would be the young lady's money.

Good man, that little brat didn’t even remind him.

"Ah, I remembered it wrong, I remembered it wrong. I didn't return it, I didn't return it."

The shopkeeper couldn't even speak clearly.

He hurriedly took out another gold coin and handed over the gold coin in his hand, which was not even warm yet.

Wow, what kind of guests did we meet today?

The money hasn't been deposited yet and yet another payment has to be made.

No, this money has to be recorded in the public account, and it should be written that it was requested by the eldest lady.

By the way, I also reimbursed Gan Luo for the gold coins that I had just given to him personally. Perfect.

The shop owner sent Mengniang and Niangrong away with a smile, and it didn't seem that bad.

You have nothing to lose, right?

The Great God of Destiny was upstairs, and through the window pane he saw Meng Niang and Niang Rong leave.

"Stay here for one night. If there is a chance tomorrow, you can follow me to meet Cheng Jiao."

Bai said slowly: "Will he trust us?"

Hei thought for a moment and said, "Lord Dongjun is in Chengjiao's mansion, and Lord Yueshen seems to have a close relationship with Chengjiao. As long as we borrow the names of the two lords, there shouldn't be any problems."

Da Siming closed the wooden window: "Yes, that's why I took the initiative to show up. With Lord Dongjun and Lord Yueshen here, Cheng Jiao will facilitate us and help us train Gan Luo."

The house fell into silence.

Black and White looked at each other, moved their lips slightly, and then nodded slightly.

They have few chances to escape from the Yin-Yang Family, and this time coming out to look for Gan Luo is an opportunity.

But it is hard to say whether it can be successfully concealed.

Once the slightest clue is revealed, Donghuang Taiyi can easily deduce their whereabouts using the divination techniques and astrology laws of the Yin-Yang School.

Not to mention, the orders from Dasi Ming and Donghuang Taiyi were to cooperate with each other on the surface, but in fact they also meant to monitor them.

Otherwise, they would not sit still and wait for an opportunity.

……

Cheng Jiao was drinking and chatting happily with Gongsun Yu when suddenly a eunuch from the palace came in hurriedly.

Whispered a few words in Gongsun Yu's ear.

Gongsun Yu frowned deeply and finally sighed.

"Lord Chang'an, I cannot accompany you any longer. The King has urgent business to attend to and has summoned me to the palace."

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "General, don't worry about it. State affairs are more important."

Gongsun Yu nodded, without even having time for pleasantries, and walked straight out of the house.

The fact that Prince Wei is seriously ill must not be spread at this time.

The reason why he invited Cheng Jiao to his house was to confirm whether Cheng Jiao was simply passing through Weiguo.

Not long ago, he received intelligence that Qin had restarted its offensive, and he could not relax for a moment.

The only good news is that Cheng Jiao has come to become the Wild King.

Gongsun Yu approached the palace, frowning, thinking about how to use Cheng Jiao to save the Wei State from war.

He knew very well that with only the military strength of Wei State, facing the army of Qin State, there would not be much chance of victory.

Gongsun Yu rode into the palace on a horse. He didn't expect that Cheng Jiao's cultivation seemed to be higher than his, and the swordsmen around him were all top-notch.

If not for this, he wouldn't be so cautious.

Gan Luo, who arrived late, had been sitting at the end of the table. When he saw Gongsun Yu leave, he stepped forward and reported to Cheng Jiao: "Lord Chang'an, Prime Minister Lu is preparing to take action in Handan, Zhao State."

Cheng Jiao took a sip of sake and said with a smile, "Very good."

Gan Luo hesitated and said, "Prime Minister Lu once said that Lu Niangrong's safety is the most important thing."

Cheng Jiao stood up slowly: "I know what you mean. As long as I use Lü Niangrong as a bargaining chip, Lü Buwei will not move his troops, and we will be safe."

Gan Luo shut up, he really meant that.

It is true that he likes Lu Niangrong, and it is also true that he hopes the Gan family can survive.

If Cheng Jiao could successfully complete his mission and return to Xianyang with achievements, Lu Buwei would find it difficult to resist him in any way.

Cheng Jiao smiled and shook his head: "I don't need it. Even if I do, I won't be so mean."

Gan Luo took a deep breath and said no more about it.

"Sir, this is the deposit returned by the inn."

Cheng Jiao weighed the purse and said, "Ten gold coins? That's quite a lot."

Gan Luo smiled faintly and said, "That inn is a family business left by Lü Buwei in Wei State. The owner seemed to want to please me and gave me more."

Cheng Jiao casually threw the purse to Gan Luo and said, "Take the flowers."

Mengniang walked over holding Niangrong, who was in a good mood.

Niang Rong saw Cheng Jiao throwing a purse to Gan Luo and snorted, "You are so rich, and you are spending my private money."

Cheng Jiao grinned and said, "This is the money the store refunded. It's your money."

Niang Rong was stunned: "The money refunded by the store? That's not..."

Meng Niang coughed quickly: "Niang Rong, aren't you hungry?"

Niang Rong reacted and said immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm hungry, Meng Niang, let's go eat."

Cheng Jiao was puzzled. Didn’t they just eat at the inn?
Before Cheng Jiao could think more.

A crisp voice came.

"Stop! Stop it now! Stop fighting!"

Cheng Jiao, who had just walked out of the hall, looked over and saw that the voice came from the next courtyard.

Without even using his soul power to sense, Cheng Jiao realized that Jing Ke seemed to be sparring with Han Shen again.

Two guys who are a real worry.

Cheng Jiao thought that he was free anyway, so he wondered whether he should let Jing Ke perform some drunken boxing to liven up the atmosphere.

After a few leaps, Cheng Jiao arrived at the next yard.

Before he could see clearly, he saw a sword energy breaking through the air.

Cheng Jiao flicked his sleeves and shook the umbrella with sword energy.

Looking into the courtyard, Han Shen and Jing Ke were fighting with great enthusiasm, and their sword energy was overflowing.

The flowers and plants in the yard had been plowed, and even the only century-old tree had been stripped of its bark and broken, which made Cheng Jiao shake his head.

My goodness, this is not a competition, they are here to destroy the house, right?

A young girl wearing tight clothes, looking very brave, holding a sword, is struggling to resist the overflowing sword energy.

To prevent the house behind you from being scratched.

She was very angry now, and was looking at the sword manual and stroking the sword in the room.

But two people came into the yard and started fighting.

It's fine if we just fight, but is it necessary to fight so hard?
I have a grudge against her family!

However, no matter how angry she was, she could still see that both of them were top-notch swordsmen in the world, only one level lower than her grandfather.

Especially since they are all so young, it was a big blow to her.

I thought I had become a second-rate master early on, had mastered the sword intent, and would soon become a first-rate master. However, I didn't expect that there would always be someone better.

Gongsun Li was caught off guard for a moment, and just as she blocked a sword energy that was dissipating to the side of the room, another sword energy rushed towards her.

Gongsun Li's face turned pale.
