Chapter 7: Lü Buwei wants to tell tales
Cheng Jiao and Li Wu were walking in Xianyang City, humming a little tune.

Lu Buwei was worthy of being the Prime Minister. He clearly harbored murderous intentions towards him, but he kept it to himself.

The bond value was only -20, which made Cheng Jiao marvel at Boss Lu's scheming, and he was indeed a qualified politician.

Therefore, Lu Buwei's reaction was within his calculations.

Lu Buwei knew that he would lose money on this matter, but he had to swallow his anger.

To put it nicely, the Prime Minister was concerned about the safety of the young master and sent the killer to protect him.

To put it bluntly, Marquis Wenxin had the intention of committing evil and assassinating a disloyal person.

It is extremely taboo to put this point in the open.

Any dark thing, once put into the sunlight, no matter it is power, wealth or connections, will not be able to withstand destruction.

Lu Buwei could only leave in defeat.

Cheng Jiao did not want to get involved in a political dispute with a powerful political figure like Lu Buwei. This would be like using one's own weakness to attack the enemy's strength, which would be too stupid.

When the time comes, find a dozen girls and bind them all together.

Even if he raised his cultivation to the Heavenly Man Realm, this little Luzi was still pinned to the ground by him!
Now it needs to develop slowly.

"Sir, Lu Buwei will not give up. We..."

Li Wu was a little worried.

Cheng Jiao didn't take it seriously.

"Lü Buwei is nothing to worry about. He is strong without desires. I don't intend to compete with him in the court. What can he do to me?"

"But Luowang has no taboos, and I'm afraid it will cause you trouble."

Cheng Jiao took Li Wu's hand, looked straight at her, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Then are you willing to protect me?"

Li Wu turned her head away.

"It's already this hour, and you're still in the mood to flirt? Get ready to die! Humph!"

Li Wu pulled her hand out, holding her breathtaking breasts with both hands, and the black cat kept meowing at Cheng Jiao.

Cheng Jiao glared at it, and the black cat raised its tail high, looking very proud.

He was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he was making things more difficult for himself. If Li Wu hadn't stopped him, Cheng Jiao would have thrown him into the cat's nest and squeezed him to death. Humph!
But he could not bear the anger, so he quickly used the sunflower brand acupoint pressing technique to let Xiao Hei taste what it felt like to be blown up in the wind!

Li Wu couldn't help but smile when she saw Cheng Jiao fighting with her cat, and she pulled Cheng Jiao's arm and shook it.

"Okay, why are you fighting with Xiao Hei?"

Cheng Jiao said stubbornly, "No, I was just thinking about when to breed Xiao Hei."

As he spoke, Cheng Jiao showed a wicked smile, which scared Xiao Hei so much that he quickly dodged to Li Wu's feet!
Just as Cheng Jiao and Li Wu were chatting and laughing, a middle-aged man with a noble air came towards them with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

"Chang'an Jun, what a coincidence. After not seeing you for several months, you are now remarkably impressive. Chang'an Jun is so lucky!"

Cheng Jiao wanted to curl his lips. He was walking on the street with a bunch of people following him. Li Wu told him that.

So, what a coincidence! What surprised him was that the bond between him and Changping Jun was 20 points. It was strange. Did Changping Jun think that he didn't find out that Fan Yuqi was his man? Or...
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Changping. It's just that Fan Yuqi is too stupid. I don't know who sent him. He is so stupid that he sent this thing to make a fool of himself."

Cheng Jiao shook his head, sighed, and looked like a happy person.

Changping Jun's breath was choked. This Cheng Jiao was really bad at chatting. His words were so choking.

But he was not here to fight with Cheng Jiao. As the Lord of Changping of Chu State in the Qin Dynasty, he could not bear the small things and ruin the big plans. What Fan Yuqi? He didn't know him!
The person is already dead, and to continue moving forward is rebellion, oh no, it is the way to become king.

"What Chang'an Jun said makes sense. Our army won a great victory in this battle against the Zhao army. Chang'an Jun played an indispensable role. The king will definitely grant him a fiefdom. I would like to congratulate you first."

Changping Jun actually didn't care whether Cheng Jiao was killed or not, but since Lu Buwei took action, he went with the flow and wanted to divide up some political resources of the Han faction in the court.

Now that the operation has failed, and Cheng Jiao has his fiefdom, his political status will surely rise, making him worthy of his winning over.

As for hatred, politicians have no hatred! Especially he thinks he is not a politician of Qin.

"The matter of the fiefdom has not yet been decided. It is too early for Lord Changping to speak."

Changping Jun's heart moved.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will fight for you in the court with the king. Even Prime Minister Lu can't stop me."

Changping Jun took the opportunity to extend his olive branch and said, "Come on, little brother. I am here and what belongs to you will not escape."

What else could Cheng Jiao do?

"No need for Lord Changping to work hard, everything will be decided by my brother."

Changping Jun was a little unsure of what Cheng Jiao meant. There was a huge difference between a prince with a fiefdom and a prince without a fiefdom.

But having said this, there was no point in saying or asking more questions, and Changping Jun left with confusion.

Watching Changping Jun leave, Li Wu said in a low voice.

"There are fewer people following us."

Cheng Jiao shrugged, not caring at all. Hide your tracks? No, we should show up in public! Didn't you see that after Lü Buwei came to see him, Changping Jun also happened to come to see him? Card face!

He came here this time to tell everyone that he, Cheng Jiao, is a loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty! He has no distractions at all!

The next day, in the court.

Cheng Jiao looked at the fifty-five bond points displayed by Zheng Ge and smacked his lips. It was a bit higher than expected! It was almost sixty points, comparable to the level of good brothers.

When Cheng Jiao was pondering Ying Zheng's attitude and relationship with Cheng Jiao in the original work of Tian Jiu, Lu Buwei was the first to bring up the issue of Cheng Jiao's fiefdom.

This doesn't seem right!

Soon after, Changping Jun also submitted a memorial, suggesting that it was time to let Cheng Jiao manage the Chang'an fiefdom.

Qin Shi Huang's good brother also had a smile on his face.

He was in a good mood. When he returned to Qin that year, only Cheng Jiao had a good relationship with him in the palace.

He still cares a lot about Cheng Jiao.

Now that he was about to be crowned and start to take charge of the royal power, he needed someone he could trust to help him. Cheng Jiao was a very good choice.

"Cheng Jiao has made great contributions this time. I will certainly agree to the request of the Prime Minister and Lord Changping. What do you think, my dear ministers?"

"I have objections!"

There was a sudden silence in the court. Who dared to oppose when the three giants all nodded?

Cheng Jiao was also under great pressure. He never expected that things would go so "smoothly" that he was almost trapped in Xianyang.

How could he have the time to stay in Xianyang and compete with Lu Buwei, Zhao Ji, Changping Jun and other people who were harboring bad intentions!

"My dear king, my ministers, Cheng Jiao has not yet been crowned. As for the fiefdom, I hope to wait until you are crowned. When you are crowned, your king will grant me the fiefdom.

Furthermore, Qin has just experienced the Five Kingdoms War and is in urgent need of rejuvenation. If the fiefdom is granted at this time, it will make the already insufficient treasury empty. If the people suffer because of this, Cheng Jiao cannot bear it. I hope that my brother will withdraw the king's order."

The court was silent. The ministers were waiting to see who had the objection, but they never thought it was Chang'an Jun himself. After hearing what Chang'an Jun said, they were suddenly moved.

The matter of fiefdom, especially for someone like Cheng Jiao, once the fiefdom is granted, the resources he will receive will certainly be huge. Even ten emerald tigers stacked together will have to kneel. If something unexpected happens, it is not impossible to shake the Qin State, which has just experienced a large and small war.

It is strange that Chang'an Jun has such awareness.

Changping Jun was a little puzzled. How could someone give away such great wealth? Could it be that God really blessed the Qin State?
Lu Buwei glanced sideways. Could it be that this guy had seen through his plan?
The original intention was to let him stay in Xianyang, he would send people to seek refuge with him, secretly instigate a coup, and then he would deal a quick blow to him and settle the matter directly.

He would not allow another Changping Jun to appear in the court to hinder his power.

I never thought that this guy was so cowardly and left the table directly.

But! Is he, Lu Buwei, someone who gives up easily?

Ying Zheng also looked at Cheng Jiao in surprise.

Is this still the prince he knows?
Thinking of how Cheng Jiao spent money carelessly on the Snow-top Silver Shuttle, he scolded him for being wasteful.

And then seeing Cheng Jiao refuse the fiefdom of resources that would have been enough for him to drink until the 21st century, the contrast was quite great.

Ying Zheng felt a little regretful, as he had wanted to support Cheng Jiao in obtaining the fiefdom to help him gain power.

Who would have thought that Cheng Jiao actually didn't want the fiefdom? Was he worried that I would be suspicious and fearful of him?
After not having a deep conversation with Cheng Jiao for several years, he didn't seem to know his younger brother well.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng sighed a little. He was only twenty-one years old. Had he really become a widower?

Changping Jun and Lu Buwei were silent, and all the ministers in the court were silent. The parties involved said they didn’t want it anymore, so what else could they say?

By the time Cheng Jiao left the palace, it was already noon.

Li Wu had been waiting outside the palace. When she saw Cheng Jiao, she tapped her toes and appeared beside Cheng Jiao.

"Sir, you didn't accept the fief? Why? Could it be that Lu Buwei was interfering?"

Li Wu heard officials whispering outside the palace about Cheng Jiao not accepting the fiefdom. Some thought he was seeking fame and reputation, some thought he was working for the country and the people, and those who knew the inside story were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Cheng Jiao touched Li Wu’s head.

"Xianyang is now a vortex of struggle. If we stay here and fight these old foxes, we will be eaten to pieces. So the best way is to watch from the sidelines, stay away from the conflict, and then come back. It's mine, and you can't run away!"

Li Wu frowned.

"But it's easy to leave Xianyang, but it's hard to come back!"

Cheng Jiao was surprised. Could Li Wu have such insight?

He laughed. If he didn't know the plot and history, it was indeed true. Looking through the dynasties, how many people who left the center of power could fight back?
But Li Wu didn't know how the next year would change, and he had a better choice.

"I will be back." Cheng Jiao was very confident.

Li Wu saw Cheng Jiao's confident look and said firmly: "I believe you!"

It is said that after retiring from court, Mr. Lu Buwei went to Ganquan Palace in a low profile, prepared his speech, and was ready to make a report.

Since Cheng Jiao wants to leave, he will chase him!
