Chapter 294 Yafei Pavilion, Yafei
Zhao Ji was very excited at the thought of letting Cheng Jiao experience her life.

If I didn't need to maintain my noble personality, I would have danced to celebrate.

She already has a plan.

Since we cannot do anything that is detrimental to Cheng Jiao, we can also do things that are beneficial to Cheng Jiao.

Seeing how miserable Cheng Jiao was, Zhao Ji felt obliged and asked her eldest son to add to Cheng Jiao's burden.

Don't come to her for no reason.

It would be fine to let her do some handicraft work and let her, a queen mother, serve a kid like him!
Especially letting her dance on the bed!

And do some special crafts!
This is really unreasonable!

Zhao Ji is shameless!
Ying Zheng was very happy, thinking that he had made his mother happy.

Today, Zhao Ji ate three more bowls of rice than usual, but she had not eaten much before.

Although the bowl is small, his appetite is not much smaller than his.

Cheng Jiao looked at Zhao Ji and wanted to laugh but didn't.

I looked at him with a half-smile, but I always felt uncomfortable.

There is definitely something wrong.

If Zheng Ge hadn't been here, he would have tortured Zhao Ji to make her tell the truth.

Did he have the intention of "treason"? He didn't take his master seriously!

Compared to Ying Zheng who was only concerned with pleasing Zhao Ji, Zhao Gao had been observing Cheng Jiao and Zhao Ji.

The more I observe, the more confused I become.

I always feel that the relationship between Cheng Jiao and Zhao Ji is not as simple as it seems.

There must be something going on that Old Zhao doesn't know about.

Thinking about how Zhao Ji used to be a promiscuous woman, she became well-educated and well-mannered after Cheng Jiao came.

An absurd idea came to Zhao Gao's mind.

Zhao Ji wouldn't fall in love with Cheng Jiao...

Zhao Gao began to want to find out the truth.

Then he realized that he had crossed the line and cold sweat broke out on his back.

If he really found out that Cheng Jiao and Zhao Ji had something shameful going on, it would be useless even if Ying Zheng tried his best to protect them.

Cheng Jiao took the initiative to say goodbye, left Ganquan Palace, and slipped out of the palace.

He really couldn't stand Zheng Ge acting like a child, making fun of him in front of Zhao Ji just to make her happy.

He, Chang'an Jun, is shameless!

After leaving the palace, we got on the carriage.

I just picked someone up from the Soul Transfer and Soul Extermination and put him in the car.

He is a little angry now and needs to vent his anger.

Zhuanpo didn't expect Cheng Jiao to be so direct. He didn't say anything and just poured the dirt.

However, she likes Cheng Jiao like this very much.

What ambiguous play?

Real guns and real swords are the truth!

The sooner you gain spiritual power, the sooner you can make up for the lost foundation.

At the same time, he did not forget to leave half for his sister.

Miehun drove the small carriage carefully.

I was afraid that Cheng Jiao and his sister would have too much fun and knock over the carriage.

At the same time, I was also wondering why my sister and I looked exactly the same.

Why did Cheng Jiao hug his sister twice today?

Could it be that the soul being transformed is bigger than mine?
Miehun couldn't help but straighten his chest, feeling that it was no worse than Zhuanpo's.

It must be just a coincidence...

Miehun comforted himself.

Ever since she left Luowang and stopped being a slave of the Six Swords, and instead became a servant of Jiao, Miehun discovered that the hostility between her and her sister was not as strong as before.

As a result, my realm has also increased a little.

She couldn't tell whether it was because of Cheng Jiao or because of the benefits brought by Cheng Jiao's spiritual power.

But it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that she and her sister can live well with Cheng Jiao and their strength can be enhanced. This is the truth.

In order to allow Zhuanpo to receive more food from Chengjiao, Miehun naturally slowed down the speed of the carriage.

Only when the sound inside the carriage became almost inaudible did Miehun resume its normal speed.

At the same time, she also hoped that Zhuanpo could come out to take over her job, so that she could also get some of Chengjiao's food, and it would be best if she could have a full meal.

Then change a little spiritual power into your body.

Cheng Jiao lay on the soft seat, whistling a tuneless little tune.

Thinking about when to go on a diplomatic mission to the State of Yan, oh no, it’s the State of Zhao.

After a moment of hesitation, he decided that he could go to Zhao State via Han State.

It’s better to go to Xinzheng.

I don't mind wasting a little time.

I haven't had sex with Zi Nu, Hong Lian, Lady Hu, and Madam Ming Zhu for a month. I missed them so much.

As he was thinking, he touched the soft seat under his head.

The cold face but spring-like eyes add a touch of shyness.

Cheng Jiao heard Zhuan Po's faint moan and suddenly sat up.

He didn't know much about Zhao State and was about to go to Zhao State.

God knows what the Zhao State in the Qin Dynasty was.

You need to find someone to ask.

"Miehun, go to Gongzi Jia's hostage house."

As a native of Handan, Zhao State, no one in Qin State knows Zhao State better than Prince Jia of Zhao.

Zhao Jia and Yan Dan sat opposite each other, playing Go under the shade of a tree in the mansion.

"Why do you want to help me? Jia still knows what happened in the Qin court today."

Yan Dan looked serious as he looked at the gentle and elegant Gongzi Jia in front of him and said in a deep voice: "That is why we should join forces to stop this chaotic world of disputes."

Gongzi Jia placed a white piece, but the situation on the chessboard still remained a mystery.

"Yan State allied with Qin to attack Zhao. As my father's son, I should have stepped forward to stop it. Unfortunately, Jia Ren's words were not taken seriously and I had no chance to get in."

Yan Dan said in a low voice: "Ying Zheng has changed. He is no longer the prodigal son in Handan. He has the ambitions of all the Qin kings. He wants to unify the seven kingdoms. Zhao is a stumbling block for Qin to unify the seven kingdoms."

Gongzi Jia nodded silently. He had met Ying Zheng several times.

Things are wrong.

Ying Zheng, who had to endure the bullying of his younger brothers, has now become the king of the strongest of the Seven Kingdoms.

"If Zhao is damaged, the one who will benefit the most is not Yan, but Qin. I don't want Yan to ally with Qin to attack Zhao, but what can I do? Alas!"

Yan Dan clenched her thighs tightly with both hands.

He really is powerless.

If I were in the country, there would still be hope that I could explain the pros and cons to my father and persuade him to change his mind and ease relations with the State of Zhao.

Times are different.

The biggest enemy now is not the State of Zhao, with which they have a long-standing feud, but the State of Qin, which has the potential to destroy Yan and Zhao.

Prince Jia was infected by Yan Dan's emotions.

"Brother Dan, rest assured. Jia will definitely find a way to escape from Qin! He will not watch Qin destroy his family and country!"

Yan Dan nodded deeply: "Chang'an Jun Chengjiao has promised to help me return to Yan State as soon as possible. When I return to Yan State, I will definitely find a way to help you return to Zhao State, and even..."

He didn't say the next words.

But he knew that Zhao Jia understood what he meant.

In order to fulfill their agreement, Zhao Jia must become King of Zhao.

Otherwise, everything is empty talk.

Gongzi Jia had a calm expression.

He was actually not that eager to become King of Zhao.

However, his experiences in just one year taught him that in this era, his only chance of freedom was to become the King of Zhao.

But he thought of his spoiled younger brother, the favored beautiful queen, and the treacherous minister Guo Kai around his father.

Zhao Jia took a deep breath.

He was almost powerless. Even if he returned to Zhao, what would happen? Even if he had General Li Mu's support behind him, what would happen?

If General Lian Po had not died and was still in Zhao State, it would have been great.

Gongzi Jia thought sadly that when he was young, he had studied under General Lian Po for a period of time.

Lian Po's integrity and loyalty are still unforgettable to him until now.

Yan Dan left quietly.

A servant from Master Jia's mansion came to report that Cheng Jiao came to visit.

It is not appropriate for him to appear here, so as not to arouse Cheng Jiao's vigilance.

Gongzi Jia asked his servants to remove the chessboard and chess pieces, leaving only a pot of tea.

Cheng Jiao walked leisurely to sit in front of Gongzi Jia.

"Brother Jia, I apologize for your sudden visit."

Gongzi Jia was helpless. Cheng Jiao said he forgave him, but the way he poured and drank tea in a familiar manner did not look like he was forgiving at all.

"It's okay. Chang'an Jun is about to go on a diplomatic mission to Yan State. What's the matter with Lai Jia?"

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "It's nothing important. I just want to learn from Brother Jia about the customs and habits of Zhao State. For example, which place in Handan is the most popular, which woman is the most beautiful, and whose Zhao dance is the best... Hehe."

Zhao Jia couldn't help but feel alert when listening to Cheng Jiao's nonsensical words.

Although he had learned some things about Cheng Jiao from Yan Dan and knew that he was lustful, Yan Dan had reminded him that this might be a disguise of Cheng Jiao.

This is a person who can be taken seriously by the Mohist leader and the farming hero.

How could it be as simple as it seems on the surface?

"Lord Chang'an, you are not on a diplomatic mission to the State of Yan. Why are you asking about the State of Zhao?"

Cheng Jiao laughed: "To go to Yan State, you have to go through Zhao State. Isn't this on the way? I want to go to Handan for a visit. Isn't that possible?"

Zhao Jia thought, of course, I can even live there...

"Lord Chang'an, this time Yan State and Qin State are jointly attacking Jia's motherland, which may cause the people to be displaced..."

Cheng Jiao waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this. This is not something you and I can decide. If you really want to talk about it, I'll take you to see Brother Wang."

Zhao Jia sighed and said, "No need. If the King of Qin doesn't want to see me, why bother seeing him again?"

He had heard news a few days ago that the State of Yan wanted to ally with Qin to attack Zhao.

He also wanted to meet Ying Zheng and try to stop the war, but was rejected.

I turned to look for Changping Jun, and the same thing happened.

He even went to Lu Buwei's place, but he only received one sentence asking him to check where he was.

The underlying meaning is to make him recognize his proton identity.

Although Lu Buwei was the representative of the Zhao faction in the Qin court, he had little to do with the State of Zhao.

It was because he returned to Xianyang from Zhao State with Ying Zichu, and because Zhao Ji was also a Zhao person, he was privately called a member of the Zhao faction.

Speaking of which, the leader of the Zhao faction could not be said to be Lu Buwei, but Zhao Ji.

Just as the leader of the Korean faction was Queen Mother Xia Ji, the leader of the Chu faction was Queen Mother Huayang.

From the side, we can see that there are three most powerful women in the palace, and three factions formed around them, which lasted from the time of Ying Zichu to the reign of Ying Zheng.

It can be said that three women make a drama.

It’s just that this drama has been a bit too grand and lasted too long. It’s time for it to end…

Zhao Jia sorted out his thoughts.

Looking at Cheng Jiao who did not treat him as an outsider, a smile appeared on his face.

He didn't have any friends in Qin State, and it had been a long time since he met someone like Cheng Jiao, who could make him feel a little more relaxed.

While Cheng Jiao was drinking tea, he slowly talked about the characteristics of Zhao State and some of its romantic places.

Cheng Jiao asked as he listened.

Zhao Jia thought to himself, as expected, Cheng Jiao was not really looking for a beauty, but wanted to understand the situation in Zhao State.

"...Guo Kai is a man of integrity and loyalty, a rare and wise minister..."

Cheng Jiao suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea.

If he was still unsure whether what Zhao Jia said before was true or not, but praising Guo Kai like this was too...

Zhao Jia wiped the tea on his face and said unhappily, "Changan Jun, what's going on?"

Cheng Jiao couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"Brother Jia, you are mistaken. Prime Minister Guo is not just a wise minister. He is a braver general than Lian Po, Li Mu and Le Sheng. Even Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, and Sun Bin, the military saint, would feel ashamed in front of him. He is the god of war that no one in the seven countries can deny!"

Zhao Jia was stunned listening to Cheng Jiao's flattery.

He thought he was shameless enough and praised Guo Kai against his will.

But compared to Cheng Jiao, I am simply too pure.

After holding it in for a long time, Zhao Jia said, "Chang'an Jun is right..."

But he was full of contempt in his heart. It was incredible that Guo Kai could command hundreds of people, let alone fight a war?

Not to mention Bai Qi and Lian Po, any random soldier is better than him.

Cheng Jiao sighed and said, "I have been friends with Prime Minister Guo for a long time. I wish I could have a drink with him and have a good chat with him."

Zhao Jia couldn't stand it anymore. How could he not know what kind of person Guo Kai was?
"Ahem, Master Cheng Jiao, is there anything else?"

He was too lazy to say more. Cheng Jiao would know what kind of person Guo Kai was as soon as he saw him. He hoped that he would not be unable to bear the disillusionment.

Cheng Jiao also realized that he had become a little too unruly.

It was really because Zhao Jia was almost making Guo Kai into a flower that he couldn't help but praise our Great Qin God of War Guo Kai, Prime Minister Guo.

Of course, he knew that Zhao Jia was trying to confuse people.

Seeing that Zhao Jia asked him to leave, Cheng Jiao didn't want to stay any longer.

Just as I was about to get up, I asked casually.

"I wonder if Brother Jia has ever seen a young lady with white hair like snow in Handan."

Zhao Jia subconsciously asked: "How do you know about the Snow Girl?"

Cheng Jiao stopped his movement to stand up.

"Do you know?"

Zhao Jia thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide in this matter.

"She is my aunt's student, and she is learning Zhao Wu from her."

Cheng Jiao asked curiously, "Do you know her background?"

This is one of the unsolved mysteries in the Qin Dynasty, and there are all kinds of explanations.

Zhao Jia thought about it and said, "I think she was the only daughter of a poor noble family in Handan. I can't remember clearly."

That's it?

Cheng Jiao shook his head slightly, thinking he was overthinking.

He really thought that the Snow Girl's background was extraordinary, and he might even believe if someone said she was a princess of the State of Zhao.

"Brother Jia, let's get together again sometime. I'm leaving now."

Cheng Jiao stood up and prepared to leave. It was getting late and he wanted to indulge in some gentle pleasure.

Zhao Jia suddenly said, "Mr. Chang'an, please wait a moment."

Cheng Jiao paused and asked, "What else?"

Zhao Jia stood up and bowed, saying, "Jia has an unwelcome request. I would like to ask Lord Chang'an to help me deliver a letter to my aunt."

Cheng Jiao smiled faintly and said, "It's human nature. It's just a small effort, so I should do it."

Zhao Jia breathed a sigh of relief. Since arriving in Xianyang, any correspondence had been restricted.

This time, I can use Cheng Jiao's help to report my safety to my sister-in-law, and I can put my mind at ease.

His aunt had taken care of him in every way since he was young, and even tried to stop his father from sending him as a hostage.

I guess my aunt must be worried since I haven't heard from her for a year.

Such a kindness is hard to repay.

Zhao Jia almost cried several times while writing the letter expressing his safety.

The thought that I am a stranger in a foreign land, and may never be able to go home and be separated from my loved ones, makes me feel extremely sad.

Cheng Jiao took the letter from Zhao Jia.

"I don't know where to send it?"

Zhao Jia said softly, "Yafei Pavilion, Yafei."

Cheng Jiao recited it again.

"Ya Fei, Ya Fei Pavilion... what a good name."
