Chapter 489 Family fun
In the Zheng Palace, Ying Zheng had already been crowned.

At this moment, he can move forward unimpeded and control the power of the Qin Kingdom without any hindrance.

But he was not too happy. When he was getting his crowned, there was a sudden assassination. Although it was instantly suppressed by Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School and Nian Duan, the head of the Medical School, it still made him a little annoyed.

Lord Changping, Lord Changwen, and Lord Changping's wife have already fled Yongcheng.

Only the only daughter, Mi Lian, was left in Cheng Jiao's mansion in Xianyang.

If he didn't know what kind of person Cheng Jiao was, he would have thought that Cheng Jiao had conspired with Changping Jun.

"Zhao Gao, is the Queen Mother frightened?"

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao who was standing respectfully and asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Gao was slightly stunned and said strangely: "No, the Queen Mother is reading a book now."

Now Zhao Ji's love for Zhu Xian has reached the point of near obsession. If it weren't for the fact that Ying Zheng's coronation was a major event, she would not have planned to leave the palace.

Assassination, in her opinion, it was a waste of her time studying.

Ying Zheng was stunned. It seemed that he had thought too much. His mother was no longer the same as before. She had changed so much. How could he concentrate on his studies at this time?

"That's all. Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang, return to Xianyang today! Zhao Gao, go and make the arrangements!"

Inside the hall, Ying Zheng gave the order directly, not planning to wait until tomorrow.

Zhao Gao hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Chang'an has not returned yet."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Who else in the world can harm him?"

Zhao Gao was just about to agree.

Unexpectedly, a loud bang suddenly resounded throughout Yongcheng, causing Ying Zheng's expression to change slightly.

Wei Zhuang said coldly: "It's a kerosene barrel."

He originally used this thing improved by Cheng Jiao to blow up the gate of General Ji Wuye's mansion.

Gai Nie said solemnly: "Judging from the distance and direction, at least three thousand kilograms of kerosene were used."

Ying Zheng stood up suddenly: "Oh no, Cheng Jiao!"

The expression on Zhao Gao's face froze. No way, Cheng Jiao was going to be blown to death?
……

Cheng Jiao held Tian Guang and strolled in Yongcheng.

"Xia Kui, it seems you have been tricked."

Tian Guangxin's heart was bleeding. He never expected that in the place arranged for him by Changping Jun, there were a large number of kerosene barrels buried underground.

If Cheng Jiao had not reacted quickly and grabbed him away, he would probably have been smashed to pieces like Tian Hu and Tian Meng.

Tian Guang's scalp tingled when he thought about the kerosene barrels spread over a hundred-meter radius.

"Thank you, Changan-kun."

Tian Guang said dejectedly.

Cheng Jiao said calmly: "Whether you can survive or not depends on your choice."

Tian Guang was silent for a long time.

As the last guarantee of the farmers, the six elders were killed instantly by Cheng Jiao, which was no less than the destruction of the four mechanical beasts of the Mohist school.

In addition, Tian Meng and Tian Hu were killed in the explosion. If he died too, the farmers would be in chaos.

The royal family of Qi, which has always been dissatisfied with the Nong family, will not give up this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Tian Guang said slowly: "What does Chang'an Jun want Tian to do?"

Cheng Jiao smiled a little more: "I hope the hero can step down and let someone else take the position."

Tian Guang immediately said: "Tian Mi!?"

He had always guessed that Tian Mi might have secretly defected to Cheng Jiao, but he had not found any evidence. He had wanted to wait for a while and look for an opportunity to test the waters. Now it seemed that Tian Mi had really betrayed the Nong family a long time ago.

"Not her."

Cheng Jiao said slowly, "Does the Hero think that Qing Nuo from Siyue Hall is qualified to be the Hero?"

Tian Guang's expression changed slightly: "I didn't expect it to be her."

The look in his eyes when he looked at Cheng Jiao again was somewhat different. If he was afraid of Cheng Jiao's strength before, now he was even more afraid of Cheng Jiao's wisdom. How on earth did he manage to control Tian Mi and Qing Nuo without them knowing?

"Why, Xia Kui doesn't want to? The life or death of the farmers depends on Xia Kui's decision."

Tian Guang smiled silently, "Do I have a choice?"

Cheng Jiao looked at the Da Zheng Palace which was about to arrive and said, "No."

"I hope you can save the farmers!"

Tian Guang agreed directly.

Historically, it's not like the Nong family hasn't defected to other forces before. He originally had high hopes for Changping Jun, and even persuaded the six elders to come out of seclusion. However, he didn't expect Changping Jun to be so cruel. In order to kill Cheng Jiao, he actually used them as bait and even buried them together in Yongcheng.

"You are very good."

Cheng Jiao shot out a stream of spiritual power and sealed it into Tian Guang's body, directly controlling Tian Guang's life and death.

"Go ahead and go back to the farm with Qing Nuo. I hope to hear from her that she has become the leader of the heroes in the shortest possible time."

Tian Guang coughed heavily: "Okay!"

For the sake of the farmers, what does it matter if he loses his identity as a knight-errant?

Furthermore, with him around, farmers can better avoid being destroyed.

……

Cheng Jiao watched Tian Guang leave and didn't take it seriously.

If it weren't for Tian Guang's good breeding ability and the fact that they were in a hurry to destroy the six kingdoms within three years, he would have planned to silence him.

I hope Tian Guang can be more sensible.

Zhao Gao, who was outside the palace, saw Cheng Jiao and said happily, "Lord Chang'an, are you okay?"

Cheng Jiao snorted: "You really hope that something happens to me?"

Zhao Gao laughed and said, "How can that be possible?"

Cheng Jiao asked, "Where is Changping Jun?"

Zhao Gao said angrily, "He ran away. I didn't expect this guy to be so cautious and use two substitutes."

"Where are Dong Jun of the Yin-Yang School and Master Nian Duan, the head of the Medical School?"

Zhao Gao hesitated and said, "They found some clues and went to chase Changping Jun. They were too fast and we couldn't catch up."

This was something he couldn't understand. Even if they used their spiritual power, why was there such a huge gap between them when they were both in the Heavenly Realm?

Even the head of the medical family, who doesn't like fighting, could feel that Nian Duan could kill him.

Cheng Jiao nodded and asked, "What did my brother say?" Zhao Gao looked around and whispered, "Lord Chang'an, I shouldn't tell you this, but since you asked, the king means that if Lord Changping escapes from Qin, he should be killed. If not, he should be imprisoned. As for his daughter Mi Lian, the king said that she should be given to you as a concubine, and you can deal with her as you wish."

Cheng Jiao thought to himself, good guy, every wrong has its perpetrator, he will definitely not kill Mi Lian.

"I see."

Old Zhao let out a sigh of relief. If it were anyone else, he would never speak so openly. If Ying Zheng knew about this, he would definitely kill him.

Just as Cheng Jiao was about to go in, he suddenly asked, "Old Zhao, I heard you have a distant niece?"

Zhao Gao immediately perked up: "You've heard of Lord Chang'an, too? My daughter's name is Zhao Wei, and she's very pretty. If Lord Chang'an is interested, I'll send her to your palace right away."

Cheng Jiao coughed heavily, "No, I just asked casually. You have also met a brother of mine, Wei Zhuang, the junior brother of Gai Nie. What do you think of him?"

He would never look for Zhao Gao's niece even if he was beaten to death. He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

But he knew what kind of person Zhao Gao was in history. In addition, he had a bad reputation and was known as the dead eunuch, so he didn't dare to consider it at all.

Zhao Gao was a little disappointed. If he could be tied to Chang'an Jun, he would really become rich.

"Wei Zhuang... this generation of Guiguzi."

Zhao Gao spoke slowly. He had seen the Guigu token on Wei Zhuang's finger and knew that the old man Gongsun Yan had already chosen his successor, who was Wei Zhuang.

Cheng Jiao was interested: "Yes, she looks good, right?"

Zhao Gao was a little hesitant. He had met this young man and could tell that he was not a guy like Cheng Jiao who loved beautiful women. He also didn't know whether Wei Zhuang would be interested in his niece.

He told him about his worries, and Cheng Jiao immediately said, "You can give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll talk to Brother Wang for you."

Zhao Gao hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me give it a try."

Cheng Jiao smiled and nodded, then left Zhao Gao.

You can give it a try whether it succeeds or not, just in case it works.

Anyway, with Lao Zhao's skills, Brother Wei Zhuang can't beat him, let alone comb his hair. Maybe Lao Zhao can help Brother Wei Zhuang establish a correct outlook on life.

When he entered the Da Zheng Palace, Cheng Jiao saw Ying Zheng pacing back and forth.

Ying Zheng was relieved to see Cheng Jiao was safe and sound, and said angrily: "You are finally back!"

Cheng Jiao laughed and said, "My Lord, you don't know my ability. How can a mere kerosene barrel hurt me?"

Thousands of kilograms of kerosene barrels were densely packed on the ground, which was indeed a bit creepy.

But this thing is not the TNT of later generations, a super-high explosive that can only seriously injure people. For him, at the moment of the explosion, he had already grabbed Tian Guang and was a hundred meters away, so he didn't suffer any injury at all.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "That's good. I'm going back to Xianyang now. Let's go together."

Cheng Jiao was about to refuse and ask Yan Fei and Nian Duan to come in, but Zhao Gao came in unexpectedly.

"Your Majesty, Dongjun and Master Nianduan have captured Lord Changping and his wife, as well as Lord Changwen. They are now outside the palace. Does Your Majesty need to see them?"

Ying Zheng's expression eased. "It's good if they are caught. I will disappear. Imprison them in Xianyang first. I will deal with them when I am free."

He didn't want to see Changping Jun now. He couldn't understand why he had such a good status in Qin State. When Lu Buwei stepped down as prime minister, he would succeed him. Why did he still want to go back to Chu State?

It is said that the King of Chu has died, and the new King of Chu has succeeded to the throne at a younger age than him. It is obvious that someone is supporting him behind the scenes. It is obviously dangerous for Changping Jun to return to Chu.

Cheng Jiao thought to himself, it seems that Brother Zheng is in a good mood, and his father-in-law's life is saved.

But then again, Changping Jun became his father-in-law, and Zhengge married Changping Jun's sister, this...

Cheng Jiao suddenly realized that he seemed to be a generation shorter for nothing...During this damn Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the marriage alliances were so chaotic.

……

Five days later, Cheng Jiao returned to Xianyang from Yongcheng. Before he could enjoy a life with many wives and concubines, Zhengge issued an imperial decree.

Cheng Jiao took the silk cloth handed over by Zhao Gao, looked at Lao Zhao's hair which seemed to have been combed, and asked curiously: "Lao Zhao, why did you change your hair accessories?"

Zhao Gao forced a smile and said, "I exchanged two moves with Guigu and Wei Zhuang."

He could never have imagined that he just followed Cheng Jiao's instructions and mentioned his niece to Wei Zhuang in private, but this guy Wei Zhuang actually used shark teeth to cut him. If he had not broken through the Heavenly Man Realm and reacted quickly, he would have only had half of his hair cut off and would probably be dead by now.

He originally wanted to teach Wei Zhuang a lesson, but Gai Nie suddenly said that Wei Zhuang's sister Zi Nu was Cheng Jiao's woman, which made him speechless.

No wonder Wei Zhuang dared to cut him directly. He really relied on his brother-in-law to do whatever he wanted!
After hearing this, Cheng Jiao was thoughtful. Brother Wei Zhuang was still true to his nature and dared to directly attack Old Zhao. He didn't believe that Brother Wei Zhuang couldn't see that Old Zhao had already broken through the Heavenly Man Realm.

"So that's how it is. My brother-in-law is a little wild. Please be considerate, Old Zhao."

The corner of Zhao Gao's eye twitched. He still felt sympathetic towards him. Next time he would see the King of Hell.

"Let's not talk about this. Do you know what happened in the court today?"

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "I haven't even left the house, how would I know?"

Zhao Gao said in a high voice: "The king has persuaded all the officials in the court to send troops to attack Han, and you will be the commander-in-chief this time. As long as you succeed, you will be directly granted a title of nobility for your contribution in the last mission to Zhao."

Cheng Jiao didn't expect Zheng Ge to be so efficient. He managed to settle the matter in just two or three days.

Of course he had no objection. Zheng Ge wanted to test the reactions of the other five countries by destroying Han. He also wanted to take the opportunity to start the war of unification of Qin as soon as possible.

With his help, the Qin army would be absolutely invincible.

Cheng Jiao spread out the silk cloth that Zhao Gao had brought over and took a quick look at it.

"Pingyang Heavy Armored Army, is Meng Tian following?"

Zhao Gao nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, in order to destroy Han quickly and efficiently, let Chang'an Jun lead this army. As the trump card of the Qin army, they will definitely win in one battle."

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "Old Zhao, you know a lot. Tell my brother that I know and can leave at any time. Also, tell my brother that I will take out 200,000 gold coins to enrich the national treasury. I hope my brother can use this money to collect food and other supplies from all over the country, and recruit talents from other countries."

Because of his intervention and his signal to Li Si and Lu Buwei, the historical incident of Zheng State building a canal was resolved silently.

No matter what, even if Wang Shuwei Yangjun doesn't take care of things, he is now the leader of the royal family. When Wang Shu retires, he will be the new Siche Shuchang of the royal family.

As for the money, he has now let it go. Instead of keeping it in his pocket, it would be better to complete the unification as soon as possible, destroy the six kingdoms, and concentrate on taking care of his women, practicing dual cultivation to become immortals, and living a free and easy life.

After Zhao Gao left with the money given by Cheng Jiao, Yan Fei came over and asked, "You want to lead the army to fight?"

Cheng Jiao nodded and said, "Yes, the bronze treasure box is in my hands. Although I don't know whether Donghuang Taiyi is telling the truth, we must be on guard. We must destroy the six countries within three years to prevent any trouble."

He never underestimated this world, which had immortals, gods, and the Queen Mother of the West. Those mysterious powers of destiny might very well be real.

Yan Fei immediately said: "Take a few sisters with you, maybe they can help you. There are also many disciples of the Yin Yang family who can also go to the battlefield."

"No, it's a waste. When Tian Guang brings the seeds cultivated by the farmers over, you can take the disciples of the Yin-Yang School and use the magic I gave you to start catalytic cultivation. Try to cultivate more good seeds before the next sowing. I have a lot of Huiling Pills in the mansion. Don't save them. You can use them appropriately."

He had seen the seeds grown by farmers, which were very good, but the quantity was too small, less than 10,000 kilograms, and could not be promoted quickly.

However, with some small spells he gave and the soul-restoring pill, these seeds were enough to multiply dozens of times in a short period of time.

Yan Fei agreed and said hesitantly: "Why not let Jing Wei follow, she is careful."

Cheng Jiao waved his hand and said, "I can go by myself this time."

South Korea is his second home. As long as he gets there, everything will be smooth sailing.

And I have spent so much time drawing cakes for Lady Hu, it’s time to feed them to her.

As well as Madam Mingzhu and Bai Luan, the Snow Clothes Marquis, it's time to bring them to Xianyang for a happy family~
