Chapter 486: Easy to talk about afterwards

The next month, before Zheng Ge was crowned.

Cheng Jiao first strengthened his control over Tianze, and then sent Tianze away, taking the Hundred Poison King and the Corpse-driving Demon Wushuang, who had been strengthened by him, to Baiyue, in order to control the land of Baiyue as much as possible.

Then he asked Yanri and Xuanjian, with Luowang's ghosts and monsters, to collect detailed intelligence on important figures in various countries, as well as detailed defense maps of various important areas, and temporarily put all assassination operations on hold.

During this period, Lu Buwei cooperated very well and did not have any hidden tricks or other intentions. This made Cheng Jiao feel more at ease about Old Lu.

Of course, the most important thing is that Old Lu took the initiative to send Lu Niangrong to his house without caring about the outside world's opinions at all.

He had to admit that Lao Lu would still surrender.

Since there were many beauties in the mansion, following Ali's suggestion, Cheng Jiao spent a large sum of money and asked Old Man Ban to bring a group of Mohist disciples to renovate the backyard.

It is divided into four large courtyards and eight small courtyards, and is classified according to the closeness of their relationship and the number of people.

For example, Yan Fei brought the Yin-Yang School's Da Siming, Xiaoyi, the Black and White Siming, Ehuang, and Nvying to the East Courtyard.

Zi Nu, Hong Lian, Lin Er, Madam Hu, Nanyue, Hong Yu, Cai Die and Xiu Er lived in the west courtyard.

Jingwei and his colleagues A'li, Liwu, Zhuanhun, Miepo, Yanlingji and Yingge live in the north courtyard.

As for the other courtyards, the other beauties can choose to stay according to their preferences, there are no mandatory requirements.

The central courtyard is not big, and only Cheng Jiao lives there. The women do not live here permanently.

Cheng Jiao explained everything to Mei Sanniang and Nuomin in the middle courtyard.

Leave the guards in the backyard to Mei Sanniang and Nuomin.

Most of the guards are female disciples of the Yin-Yang School, as well as sisters from Zi Nu's former school, Zi Lan Xuan, who are quite skilled in martial arts.

He is more than qualified to be a guard.

After Mei Sanniang and Nuomin left, Cheng Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

For so many days, I work hard during the day and at night.

As the saying goes, a short separation is better than a new marriage, so he had to run around among the women all day long.

After working non-stop for many days, he finally put out the anger of the girls.

Fortunately, he practiced the Yin-Yang Longevity Method, and his Yang energy was full, like the blazing sun. Even with such high-intensity pressure, he was only a little tired.

But as a man who knows how to maintain his health, he should restrain himself occasionally according to his own needs.

For example, now I can enjoy the quietness alone, drink tea by myself, and watch the clouds roll by in the sky. It is very comfortable.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Before he could take a short rest, Da Siming, wearing a sexy black and red cheongsam, black leather high heels, black silk over-the-knee socks, and with a cold face, walked over to him.

Looking at Cheng Jiao lying leisurely on the rattan chair, I felt speechless.

In the past month, she has been slandered by Cheng Jiao a lot.

Whenever she was in the East Courtyard, and whenever Cheng Jiao and other women from the Yin-Yang family were doing something, she had to go and assist. She had no idea how many times her whole body had been stained by Cheng Jiao.

"Sir, Lord Changping has brought Mi Lian to see you."

Cheng Jiao opened his eyes and looked at the enchanting Da Siming. His heart was as calm as still water. He was very cool in sage mode.

"What is he here for?"

The Great God of Destiny opened her beautiful red lips and said, "I don't know."

Under the training of Cheng Jiao and Lord Dongjun, she is now accustomed to calling herself a concubine. She also serves as Cheng Jiao's personal maid and occasionally helps Ali, the chief steward of the backyard.

Cheng Jiao sat up and said, "Tell him to wait in the front hall. I'll change my clothes and go."

After receiving the order, Da Siming left quickly, fearing that Cheng Jiao would come to her at this time to save her from having to change into a new cheongsam and new stockings.

Cheng Jiao put on formal clothes and came to the front hall, where he saw Changping Jun drinking tea silently and Mi Lian sitting there absent-mindedly.

Changping Jun put down his teacup, stood up and said, "Changan Jun, long time no see, I hope you are well."

Cheng Jiao smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Changping. I wonder why Lord Changping came here today?"

Ever since Lu Buwei pointed out that Changping Jun seemed to have ulterior motives, he and Zheng Ge used Luowang and Shadow Secret Guards to conduct a secret investigation. Unfortunately, they did not catch anything and found nothing serious.

In this case, either Lord Changping had no ulterior motives and Lü Buwei was overthinking it, or Lord Changping was alert and lurking, with a bigger conspiracy.

Judging from the fact that he has read the original work, the latter is more likely.

"The king will be crowned in three days. The Queen Mother Huayang has entrusted me with the matters concerning the coronation. I came to Lord Chang'an this time to ask for a favor from Lord Chang'an. The guards for the coronation will be managed by Lord Chang'an."

Changping Jun spoke slowly.

Cheng Jiao nodded slightly: "Of course, I'll take it."

Now the entire Luowang is under his control. Lu Buwei has basically delegated power. He can also ask Zhang Han, the commander of the newly established Shadow Secret Guard, to assist and let him be the one to guard the place. It is the most suitable person for him.

For a moment, Cheng Jiao wanted to overturn his previous speculation, perhaps Changping Jun had no other thoughts.

The King of Chu is dead, and the puppet child supported by Li Huan has already taken office normally, so Changping Jun has no reason to betray.

However, adhering to the principle of being cautious, Cheng Jiao will still let Luowang continue to keep an eye on them.

When Changping Jun saw that Cheng Jiao agreed, he left with a smile, leaving Mi Lian to continue learning dance with Cheng Jiao's women.

Although he wanted to betray the Qin State, he would not make obvious mistakes in the details.

If he suddenly stopped Mi Lian, who was learning dancing from Cheng Jiao's woman, and Lu Buwei suddenly changed sides, revealing a flaw in him, he would probably arouse Cheng Jiao's suspicion.

Fortunately, he has always been cautious. When he met Lu Buwei, he did not say it out loud, but only hinted at it. Otherwise, all his efforts would have been in vain.

Cheng Jiao looked at Mi Lian, who was fidgeting and looking a little unhappy, and asked casually, "What's wrong? Are you sick? Do you need me to ask Rong'er to come over and take a look at you?"

Mi Lian was surprised and asked, "Can Niang Rong also treat illnesses?"

"Uh..." Cheng Jiao was stunned at first, then he understood. He was talking about Duanmu Rong, but Mi Lian thought it was Niang Rong.

However, Niangrong also knows medical skills, but she has never used them. In addition, she has been learning poison techniques from Mengniang, so her medical skills are a bit unconventional. Whenever the mansion needs medical treatment, it is basically Duanmu Rong and Nian Duan who take care of it, including his health care and Xiao Yaner's physical conditioning.

"Yes, do you need me to ask her to come over?"

Ever since Lu Buwei sent Niangrong here, Niangrong has lived with Mengniang permanently.

What made him a little uncomfortable was that he didn't expect that Niang Rong, in addition to learning poison techniques from Meng Niang and medical techniques from Nian Duan, also began to learn techniques of controlling husbands and managing households from other women.

This made Yan Fei, Zi Nu and other women think that he was really going to marry Niang Rong in a formal ceremony. It took him a lot of effort to explain it to them. It was just to make Lu Buwei work honestly and accept them without marrying them. Only then did the women continue to pose in different postures willingly for him to learn.

Mi Lian hesitated for a moment, "No need, I'll go find her."

She was worried and didn't want to practice dancing. She wanted to talk to Niangrong. After all, Niangrong was the only sister she had grown up with in Xianyang City.

"Okay, Ah Li, take Lian Er to Niang Rong's courtyard." After Cheng Jiao gave the order, he said to the Great God of Destiny, "Prepare the carriage. I'm going to the palace."

In the past month, he has been in the palace only a few times. He has been staying in his house, working day and night with the ladies. He almost forgot that Lord Changping was not coming today. It seems that he should also participate in Zheng Ge's coming-of-age ceremony.

……

The Great God of Destiny drove the light and exquisite carriage that Cheng Jiao had asked Old Man Ban to build, and drove slowly towards the palace.

When passing Qixiang Pavilion, Cheng Jiao, who had been admiring the street view of Xianyang through the car window, had a strange look on his face.

He saw the carriage of Lord Changping, who had just left, being pulled by servants to the backyard of Qixiang Pavilion.

It suddenly reminded him that according to Luowang's intelligence, Changping Jun would occasionally come to Qixiang Pavilion to drink tea.

No one thought much about it at the time. After all, the Nong family was behind Qixiang Pavilion, and it was controlled by Qingnuo and Tian Mi. They did not notice any wrong behavior by Changping Jun in Qixiang Pavilion, nor did they see Changping Jun meeting Tian Guang. In addition, Qixiang Pavilion was jointly opened by the Nong family and Changping Jun, so it was normal for Changping Jun to come here occasionally.

But now...

He sensed it casually and found something wrong. There were many masters in Qixiang Pavilion, eight of whom were first-rate in strength, and there were also three top masters.

Obviously, the farmers do not have such a powerful lineup. I am afraid that among the hundreds of schools of thought, only the Yin-Yang School, Taoism, Confucianism, and Mohism can gather so many masters at once.

Unless the farmer invites the Sixth Elder over.

"parking."

With this thought in mind, Cheng Jiao decided to postpone going to the palace.

Prepare to sneak into Qixiang Pavilion to see what Changping Jun is up to.

The Great God of Destiny gently pulled the white horse with her jade hand and stopped it.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

When asking this question, Da Siming's heart was pounding.

Every time this happened, Cheng Jiao would always pull her in and shake the carriage for fun.

"Wait over there first, I'll come over in a moment."

Cheng Jiao got off the carriage and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

This made Dasi Ming breathe a sigh of relief.

This guy finally behaved a little more normally. He couldn't just pick on her to take advantage of others in the car. The black and white sisters, the soul-changing and soul-destroying sisters, were a pair, and they were no match for her.

Cheng Jiao performed a breath-suppressing technique and swaggered into the Qixiang Pavilion. He did not go directly to Changping Jun, but went to Qingnuo first.

After a slight perception, Cheng Jiao walked towards a private room on the third floor.

There were four women in the house.

When Cheng Jiao came in, everyone was surprised.

Tian Mi stood up hurriedly and said, "Sir, why didn't you tell me you were coming earlier?"

She stayed in the mansion with Cheng Jiao for many days. After many days, she brought Meng Jiang to Cheng Jiao yesterday and told him to come to Qixiang Pavilion to meet Qing Nuo.

On the surface, he was checking the accounts for Cheng Jiao, but in reality he wanted to show off to Qing Nuo.

Fortunately, she won over Meng Jiang to fight Cheng Jiao together. Otherwise, with the other women fighting together, she alone would not be able to stop Cheng Jiao for long.

What she didn't expect was that Huaying, the second person she chose to win over, whom she always thought was all alone, turned out to be an old acquaintance of Qingnuo, which made her try to take a further step. The purpose of the three-person battle against Cheng Jiao was directly thwarted.

Qing Nuo smiled softly: "Qing Nuo greets you, sir."

Cheng Jiao waved his hand, "No need to be polite."

He glanced at Huaying who was beside Qingnuo and said with a smile: "How about it, is it this Qingnuo?"

The day before yesterday, Huaying worked very hard on the couch and served him very well. Then she asked him to find a girl named Qingnuo from a farming family in Xianyang.

He didn't tell Huaying at that time that he knew where Qingnuo was. He just gave her a holiday and asked her to go to Qixiang Pavilion, saying that there was news about Qingnuo there.

Huaying smiled awkwardly: "Yeah, Sister Qingnuo was very kind to me in Chu State and took good care of me, so I came to Xianyang and wanted to find her."

She didn't know what to say now. She had already found out from Qing Nuo that she was Cheng Jiao's secret woman. She was speechless.

Now, the four beauties in the room, including Meng Jiang, who was well-behaved, lovely and gentle beside Tian Mi, have all been slept with by Cheng Jiao.

Cheng Jiao asked Qing Nuo, "What did Lord Changping come here for?"

Qing Nuo, who was dressed in green and had a graceful figure, shook her head and said, "I don't know. The hero said that no one is allowed to ask or inquire about what Changping Jun does in Qixiang Pavilion."

Tian Mi continued, "Changping Jun has a master by his side."

After being nurtured by Cheng Jiao many times, she has become a first-rate master, steadily moving towards becoming a top master. Her cultivation level increases by leaps and bounds, directly surpassing Qing Nuo and leaving her far behind.

She was very glad for her decision to stay in Cheng Jiao's arms. Status and power were not as important as the improvement of strength, not to mention status and power. As long as Cheng Jiao was there, what else could she lack? At most, she would be submissive and humble in the mansion. Outside, she, Tian Mi, was still a goddess who was high and mighty and invaluable!
Cheng Jiao nodded and said, "I see. Are there many more foreign experts in the pavilion these days?"

Qing Nuo was surprised and said, "No."

Tian Mi said disdainfully: "Your strength is too low, how can you know if a master comes?"

Qing Nuo was speechless, this was her weakness.

Seeing that Qing Nuo didn't know anything, Cheng Jiao said, "You guys wait here, I'll go check it out."

After saying this, he gradually disappeared from the spot under the gaze of the four girls, as if he had become invisible.

Qing Nuo's eyes widened, "How magical."

Tian Mi said proudly, "Qingnuo, now you know why I don't fight with you, right? Instead of fighting with you, I might as well eat more of the young master's food. Look at Huaying, she has also eaten less during this period, and her strength is almost surpassing yours."

Qing Nuo seemed to be thinking about something. When she was captured by Cheng Jiao, her strength improved a bit. Now it seems that Cheng Jiao's strength has greatly improved, and he can easily make Tian Mi stronger.

It seems that she has to speed up, use the farmers as a condition, and directly exchange strength with Cheng Jiao to speed up the process of controlling the farmers.

Her current strength is average, no matter how good she is in other aspects, she cannot compare to those hall masters who are first-rate or even top-notch.

If she could become a top master, even stronger than the leader of the heroes, she was confident that after the leader of the heroes died, she would be the next one.

Thinking of this, Qing Nuo glanced at Tian Mi, Meng Jiang, and Hua Ying, who was good friends with him.

When Cheng Jiao comes back later, she can drag these three women into the matter and talk to Cheng Jiao about it.

As for men, she knew Cheng Jiao a little bit and he was quite easy to talk to afterwards.
