Chapter 472 I Want to Take the Honey Pot
Yes, it is a bit simple.

On the zodiac star map, there seem to be many stars, but they seem to be deliberately arranged by someone. They are very regular and consistent with common people's understanding.

Could it be related to Donghuang Taiyi?

Cheng Jiao inexplicably thought of the scene in the original novel where Emperor Taiyi of the Middle East held the Milky Way in his hands.

If Donghuang Taiyi has not changed since he separated from Taoism from the Yin-Yang School, it would not be easy for him to tamper with the zodiac star map.

Cheng Jiao wrote down the zodiac star map and looked at the Fantasy Sound Box again.

After a careful perception, he took out the jade block that had been prepared long ago, compared it with the Magic Sound Box, and used his finger as a knife to cut it.

There is a mechanism hidden in the stone pillar below the Fantasy Sound Box.

It goes without saying that once the Fantasy Sound Box is taken away, the mechanism will be activated.

When the jade was cut to the same weight as the Fantasy Sound Box, Cheng Jiao took a deep breath and quickly replaced it.

Nothing happened and Cheng Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It has come to this point, even if it causes some noise, we have to take the Fantasy Sound Box away.

Without thinking any more, Cheng Jiao returned along the same route.

Passing by the mechanical Xuanwu, Cheng Jiao smiled when he saw that it remained as still as a mountain.

He practiced the water-avoiding technique, sensed that there was no one around, and slowly surfaced.

The nights after winter come are quite cold.

Taking advantage of the night, Cheng Jiao did not take the usual route, but went straight back to the house from the top of the cliff.

Nian Duan, who had been waiting anxiously in front of the wooden window, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cheng Jiao come in.

"For so long, I thought you were trapped."

Nian Duan helped Cheng Jiao change out of his night clothes, his tone quite worried.

Cheng Jiao placed the Magic Sound Box on the wooden table and said with a smile, "That forbidden area can't hold me. If I didn't want to alert the Mo family, I would have come out long ago."

Nian Duan looked at the red pentagonal wooden box curiously, and whispered the words on the box: "Twelve magical rhythms, five tunes that are not music, the rhythm of heavenly bliss, and thousands of magic sounds.

Is this the Magic Sound Box? Legend has it that those who are destined to hear the music in the Magic Sound Box can improve their skills, while those who are not destined to hear it may fall into confusion or even go crazy. "

Cheng Jiao nodded and waved his hand to release a barrier.

He was also curious about what was so magical about this music box.

Cheng Jiao slowly opened the Magic Sound Box.

The gears inside the mechanism turned, and a five-story, twelve-eaved pavilion automatically rose in the box.

The brisk music flows slowly, carrying with it a vague, real and illusory image.

Cheng Jiao and Nian Duan had both reached the heavenly state, and had no discomfort at all with the music.

"It sounds very nice." Instead of feeling uncomfortable, Nian Duan felt very comfortable.

Cheng Jiao frowned slightly. He felt a mental power fluctuation in the box that was no less powerful than his own.

Suddenly I remembered the scene in the Qin Dynasty trailer where Tianming was trapped in a box and met an old man who looked like the founder of Mohism.

Is it really Mozi?

Cheng Jiao hesitated for a moment and did not easily choose to test it.

This is the Mohist school. If it really is Mozi inside, he would be exposed if he is not careful.

Cheng Jiao put away the box

He had no qualms about taking away the Phantom Sound Box. After all, the Phantom Sound Box originally belonged to Taoism and was later taken away by the Yin-Yang School, which split from the Taoist school. Who knows how it was passed on to the Mohist School.

Nian Duan said cautiously: "Young Master, please do not let the Mohist family know about this. Outsiders who trespass into the Mohist forbidden area will be treated with hostility by all Mohist disciples, and even the leader cannot stop them."

Cheng Jiao held Nian Duan's soft waist and said, "Don't worry about me doing the work. It's just the second half of the night now, let's continue."

Nian Duan looked at the ambiguous smile on Cheng Jiao's face, and blushed.

She said coquettishly: "If I were to die, it would be because of you exhausting me to death."

Cheng Jiao said jokingly, "Only cows that die from exhaustion can destroy the fields. Master, please don't lie."

Nian Duan was held in Cheng Jiao's arms and they both got on the couch.

"Why call me Master? I only belong to you now. I am your woman."

Nian Duan wrapped her jade arms around Cheng Jiao's neck and murmured.

Cheng Jiao smiled vaguely.

There is no redundant communication, only constant communication.

……

After winter, the nights become much longer.

With the experience from last time, Nian Duan got dressed early this time.

It would be so embarrassing if Rong'er blocked the door again!
Not long after, under Nian Duan's urging and service, Cheng Jiao also got up.

I am going to talk to the Six-Fingered Black Knight and borrow the Suzaku mechanism temporarily.

When I came to the room where Six-Fingered Black Knight was researching mechanical engineering, I saw him drawing sketches non-stop.

Looking at the scattered things on the floor, you can tell that the Six-Fingered Black Knight has not slept all night.

Cheng Jiao coughed lightly and said, "Master."

The six-fingered black warrior slowly put down the sketch and asked, "What can I do for you, sir?"

"To be honest, sir, I want to go to Qi and borrow the Suzaku mechanism temporarily. Is that possible?"

The six-fingered black knight thought for a moment and said, "The Suzaku mechanism is the essence of the Mohist school and has never been lent to anyone else. But the young master said he was going to Qi, is it for the matter of the Nongjia Xiakui seed?"

Cheng Jiao's heart moved, and he said, "That's true. Not long ago, the master told me that farmers have hybridized a batch of seeds that are drought-resistant, flood-resistant, and disease-resistant. I want to see it with my own eyes."

The six-fingered black hero smiled and said, "That's great. Since you want to go, I will set off early and go to Tian Guangxia Kui to borrow some seeds. I will also go to Yan State and bring Yan Dan to Mohism to avoid the limelight for a while."

He had planned to do so anyway, and even if Cheng Jiao had not succeeded, he would have gone to the farmer's house in a few days.

In addition, Yan Dan was in a very difficult situation in Yan State because of the alliance between Qin and Zhao, so he asked him for help.

Cheng Jiao nodded slightly. He didn't expect it to be so smooth. His luck finally got better.

"When to set off?"

"Today is enough. We can travel day and night and reach Daze Mountain by late night."

Cheng Jiao returned to the house and told Nian Duan.

The Machinery City is a thousand miles away from the Farmers’ headquarters. If we leave early, we might be able to have a meal there.

Fortunately, the farm headquarters is not far from Linzi, only about 100 to 200 miles away. If we fly freely, an hour will be enough.

Nian Duan nodded and said, "I'll go and wake up Rong'er and Niangrong."

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

Niang Rong yawned and followed Cheng Jiao.

"Cheng Jiao, what are you doing at the farmer's house?"

Cheng Jiao held Niang Rong's hand and said with a wicked smile, "Of course I sold you there. I heard that they pay quite a lot of money there."

Niang Rong rolled her eyes at Cheng Jiao and said, "Alright, you're just trying to scare a kid. If you need money, just ask my dad for it. Why are you going through so much trouble?"

"How much money do you think your father can pay to redeem you?"

Duanmu Rong whispered beside him: "Niang Rong said, at least 100,000 gold coins."

"..."

Niang Rong's face darkened slightly and she glared at Duan Mu Rong fiercely.

She was just bragging to Duanmu Rong, saying that her father was very rich and would at least take out 100,000 gold coins to redeem her.

Cheng Jiao chuckled: "You are really valuable!"

He really wanted to ask Lao Lu if he was willing to take out 100,000 gold coins in exchange for Niang Rong.

However, according to how much Lao Lu cares about Niang Rong, he thinks he can double it~
……

The Palace of King Chu.

Li Huan got up from the phoenix couch somewhat tiredly.

She didn't expect Cheng Jiao to escape so quickly. Her idea of ​​asking Cheng Jiao to help her assassinate some old and pedantic guys was dashed.

The most important thing is that she also wanted to take the opportunity to borrow seeds from Cheng Jiao, hoping to succeed in one go. If she was lucky, she could have a child of her own and let him sit on the throne.

pity……

Li Huan rubbed his brows. Today, Xiang Yan, the patriarch of the Xiang family, would come into the city.

She was thinking about whether to take the opportunity to get rid of him.

One of the arrangements Cheng Jiao made for her was to disintegrate the Xiang clan, and she also wanted to eliminate the Xiang clan to consolidate the royal power.

Forget it, let's take it step by step.

There was helplessness in Li Huan's beautiful eyes, and she missed the days when Cheng Jiao was by her side.

It would not be like it is now, where we can only control the palace and have no extra energy to attack the Xiang clan.

……

Under the control of the Six-Fingered Black Knight, they did not arrive at the farmer's house in Daze Mountain until night.

Tian Guang, the hero of the farm family, had just come out of Kuiwei Hall and was staring with half-closed eyes at the mechanical Suzaku falling from the night sky.

A great figure of Mohism?

It came really quickly.

He had just exchanged a letter with the Six-Fingered Black Knight a month ago, informing him of the seeds, but he didn't expect them to arrive tonight.

I can't help but admire the Mohists, who are truly dedicated to benefiting the world.

Kuiwei Hall General Manager Wu Kuang and Hall Master Sheng Qi appeared beside Tian Guang.

"Xia Chief, are you sending enemies?" Sheng Qi said in a muffled voice.

Wu Kuang shook his head: "Mechanical Suzaku is from the Mohist School."

Tian Guang pondered and said, "Let's go and meet him. The Mohist master is here, and we farmers should entertain him well."

Cheng Jiao jumped down from the mechanical Suzaku holding Niang Rong, and saw the chivalrous leader Tian Guang, Wu Kuang and Sheng Qi waiting for him.

Tian Guang was slightly surprised: "Changan Jun?"

He didn't expect Cheng Jiao to come to the farmer's house, and suddenly remembered the secret letter that Changping Jun gave him when he left Xianyang.

Tell him everything related to Cheng Jiao, and slowly cut off contact.

From the secret letter, he noticed the change in Changping Jun's attitude towards Cheng Jiao. It seemed that something had happened and there was something he didn't know.

Could it be that Lu Buwei can no longer hold on, and Changping Jun is preparing to compete with Cheng Jiao for the power of prime minister?

After thinking about it, he could only think of this. Otherwise, why did Changping Jun change so much.

He tried hard to win over Cheng Jiao, even betrothing his daughter to him, and asked him to give away Tian Mi and Qing Nuo, just to befriend Cheng Jiao.

Until now, it has become too rigid to be short and abrupt.

Tian Guang made up his mind that when he had time he would go and meet Changping Jun in person to ask him what had happened.

He was ready to bet on Cheng Jiao and didn't want to give up because of what Changping Jun said.

Cheng Jiao bowed and said, "Excuse me, Master Xia. I happened to be at the Mohist School, so I followed you to the farmer's house to see how the seeds are."

Tian Guang smiled and said, "It's not really a bother."

Then he looked at the leader of the Mohist School and said, "Brother Liuzhi, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are doing well."

The six-fingered black knight laughed and said, "Brother Tian Guang, you are too polite. If your seed is really as you said, it will be a great blessing for the people of the world."

Cheng Jiao nodded slightly. If you want to have a high yield of grain, you need seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, machinery, etc., and none of them can lag behind.

Tian Guang and the Six-Fingered Black Knight exchanged a few words, then arranged for Wu Kuang to take the giant to rest first.

When he saw the head of the medical family, Nian Duan, coming down from the mechanical Suzaku with a young girl, Tian Guang was surprised and asked, "Master Nian Duan is here too?"

Nian Duan nodded slightly: "I have some appointments with Master Cheng Jiao, so I followed along."

When the mechanical Suzaku landed just now, it blew away Ronger's hair, and she had just fixed her hair.

Tian Guang did not ask any more questions. He was not familiar with the medical family, so he had to ask the disciple of Kuiwei Hall to bring Nian to the guest room.

Cheng Jiao saw Tian Guang looking at him from time to time, "Niang Rong, follow Master Nian Duan back to the house."

Niang Rong's eyes rolled around and she said, "Okay."

She was wondering if she could ask Sister Rong to help her and speak to Master Nian Duan to get her back to Xianyang.

Although she was somewhat attracted to Cheng Jiao, she felt extremely heartbroken when she thought that Cheng Jiao was going to use her to ask her father for a ransom of 100,000 gold coins.

Seeing Cheng Jiao staying, Tian Guang smiled and said, "Sir, Tian Mi just returned to her farm from Xianyang. Ever since you left Xianyang, I have been thinking about you."

Cheng Jiao understood immediately, and smiled at Tian Guang: "Xia Kui is thoughtful."

Tian Guang smiled without saying anything, and asked a disciple to take Cheng Jiao to Tian Mi.

Maybe Tian Mi is already asleep at this time, but so what? When it’s time to work, it doesn’t matter day or night.

Cheng Jiao was very satisfied with Tian Guang's understanding.

I haven't seen his honey jar for more than two months. I want to drink honey, so I took out the honey jar.

Tian Guang's smile faded after Cheng Jiao left.

He hoped that Tian Mi could find out for him what happened between Cheng Jiao and Changping Jun.

……

In the guest room, Nian Duan quietly watched Niang Rong who was trying to struggle, and said softly: "Niang Rong, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I have promised the master to watch you. If I let you run away..."

Having said that, Nian Duan shook his head.

She learned some things about Niang Rong and Lu Buwei from Cheng Jiao. How to deal with Niang Rong would depend on Cheng Jiao's attitude.

Duanmu Rong was a little nervous, and pulled Niang Rong and said, "Niang Rong, this is Daze Mountain, thousands of miles away from Xianyang, you must not be stupid."

Niang Rong said dejectedly: "Okay, I won't leave. Go to sleep!"

Nian Duan suddenly discovered that the farmer only gave him a guest room.

In this way...

Nian Duan felt bad when she thought about not being able to have a secret meeting with Cheng Jiao in the middle of the night.

Cheng Jiao looked at Tian Mi's room which had become pitch dark, and waved his hand to ask the farmer disciple who was leading the way to leave.

After pausing for a moment, he pried the door open with ease.

I saw Tian Mi still sleeping soundly on the couch wrapped in a quilt, like a worm pupa spinning a cocoon.

Cheng Jiao's smile became even brighter. He took off his clothes skillfully and got into bed without Tian Mi being prepared at all.

The huge noise woke Tian Mi up even though she was sleeping soundly.

Suddenly I found a man in my bed. I was stunned and subconsciously wanted to scream.

But Cheng Jiao directly blocked his mouth.

Only then did Tian Mi realize that the person in front of her looked familiar.

"Cheng Cheng Cheng Jiao?"

At this time, Tian Mi spoke with a stuttering voice, unable to believe that Cheng Jiao would actually appear in a farmer's house.

Cheng Jiao chuckled and said, "It's me. I didn't expect you to be at the farm too."

In Cheng Jiao's arms, Tian Mi twisted her body, mistakenly thinking that Cheng Jiao was dissatisfied with her leaving Xianyang.

"I returned to the farm because the Kuiwei Hall is recruiting elite farmers to expand its strength. I plan to join the Kuiwei Hall first to see if I can replace Sheng Qi and get the position of the hall master."

This was something she had been planning for a long time.

There is Tian Meng in Lieshan Hall, and Chiyou Hall and Gonggong Hall are of the same mind as Tian Meng.

Even if she becomes the head of Lieshan Hall, it will be useless and she will expose herself.

However, the Zhu family of Shennongtang is too mysterious, indecisive and difficult to understand.

Siyue Hall is Qingnuo's target, and the only one left for her is Kuiwei Hall.

As long as the operation is carried out well and Cheng Jiao is there, it will be easy to get rid of Wu Kuang and Sheng Qi.

Later, with her merits and abilities, she was qualified to become the head of Kuiwei Hall.
