Chapter 156 Attack in the middle of the night
Mo Ya watched Ying Ge go out, knowing that Ying Ge would face questioning from Liusha.
And if nothing unexpected happens, someone will come over.
Yingge's innocent face looked nervous. She took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat.
After opening the door, he glanced around casually and saw that Han Fei and Wei Zhuang were not there. He knew that they must have gone to Mo Ya.
Yingge paused, then slowly walked to the opposite side of Cheng Jiao and knelt down.
On Cheng Jiao's side, Jing Wei and Zi Nu were kneeling on the left and right, both of them were very quiet. Zi Nu cut a cup of tea and placed it in front of Cheng Jiao. She also poured a cup for Jing Wei and Ying Ge.
Yingge thanked Zinu softly.
Zi Nu smiled and said, "Sister, as long as we are a family, there is no need to thank me."
Yingge's heart trembled, "It's Yingge who is being polite."
Now is a critical period. Whether we can gain Cheng Jiao's trust and win Liusha's sympathy and trust depends on whether we and Mo Ya can withstand Liusha's test.
Cheng Jiao took a sip of tea.
"Yingge, you should try Zi Nu's tea art first. I have never seen anyone other than Zi Nu brew this Snow-Top Silver Shuttle so perfectly, bringing out all the fragrance, refreshing the heart."
Different from Cheng Jiao's casual way, Yingge's tea drinking is very standardized and can be regarded as a textbook of etiquette.
After Yingge put down the teacup, Cheng Jiao stopped smiling.
"Yingge, are you nervous?"
"Tonight, Yingge did not expect Ji Wuye to discover Yingge's whereabouts, putting Zilanxuan in danger. I am worried that the young master will misunderstand that Yingge did this intentionally."
"Oh? Really? It seems that I am overly suspicious."
"My Lord, your words are too serious. It is human nature that anyone would think too much about this matter."
Jingwei's eyes became sharp: "Your breathing is a little disordered."
Zi Nu whispered, "Yingge, are you lying?"
Yingge's breath stopped and she reviewed the situation in her mind instantly, and concluded that Jingwei was trying to trick her.
"My two sisters misunderstood. Yingge was just a little nervous." Yingge forced a smile.
Cheng Jiao didn't say anything and drank the rest of the tea.
The four of them fell into silence. Li Wu held Xiao Hei and watched Ying Ge's performance with great interest. She was full of admiration. His acting skills were much better than hers. If he were in Luowang, he would have a hope of becoming a killer-level killer.
The level of Luowang killer is not only based on strength, but also on the number of tasks completed. With Yingge's superb acting skills, Li Wu believes that Yingge can have a place in Luowang.
Xiao Hei yawned and meowed, breaking the silent atmosphere.
"Excuse me, I wonder what your relationship is with the leaders of the Hundred Birds, the White Phoenix, the Black Crow, and the Red Owl."
Cheng Jiao spoke slowly. Actually, he didn't want to cause trouble, but if he didn't, Bai Niao and Ji Wuye would probably be worried.
Yingge's bare hand on her slender and round thigh trembled slightly. Cheng Jiao actually knew that Hong Hong was the red owl, and she was also one of the four leaders of the Hundred Birds. Fortunately, when I decided to go deep into the quicksand, I had prepared for the worst and had a contingency plan. Otherwise, I would have been exposed by Cheng Jiao's words.
After a short silence, Yingge exhaled and said, "I am one of the four leaders of the Hundred Birds. Mo Ya and I are not siblings, we are partners. Bai Feng was promoted by Mo Ya and we have a good relationship. As for Hong Xiao, I have carried out missions with Hong Xiao before."
Zi Nu poured Cheng Jiao another cup of tea.
"So what did you hide from me, sir?"
Yingge smiled bitterly: "Mo Ya failed in many missions, which led to Ji Wuye's murderous intentions towards Mo Ya. When we were carrying out the operation in Zhao State, I had a disagreement with Hong Xiao, which led to the failure of the mission. We want to use the power of Quicksand to get rid of Ji Wuye's control."
"How many times did the Black Crow mission fail? What were the reasons?"
Cheng Jiao did not ask Yingge about her mission to Zhao State, but asked Mo Ya.
Yingge said without hesitation: "Assassinate Han Fei, warn the young master, lose the vulture's body, and hold the young master's women hostage."
Cheng Jiao was speechless, wondering how this whole thing could be related to him.
"If I'm not wrong, these can't be considered as mission failures, so much so that Ji Wuye wants to kill him."
Cheng Jiao stretched lazily. He was a little tired and didn't want to play games with Yingge. It would be better to warm his bed and sleep with him.
Yingge hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that the black crow has discovered some secrets of the night."
Cheng Jiao asked curiously, "Aren't you the leader of the Hundred Birds? It's normal for you to know some of Ye Mu's secrets."
Yingge watched Cheng Jiao take the bait and felt certain in his heart.
"This secret is only known to Ji Wuye and Xue Yi Hou, and Mo Ya also found out by accident."
Zi Nu: "What secret could make Ji Wuye want to kill his right-hand men?"
Yingge: "I don't know the specifics, I only know it's related to the Tide Demoness of Night and the Raincoat Man. Their identities are still a mystery, only Ji Wuye and the Bloody Marquis know them, even the Emerald Tiger may not know."
Cheng Jiao said to himself, "A straw raincoat man?"
He naturally knew who Chao Nuyao was, the wife of the King of Han and his current mistress. But he had no idea who Suo Yike was, not even his lover, Madam Mingzhu, knew. He only knew that Suo Yike was the last one to join Ye Mu and became one of the four fierce generals of Ye Mu. At the same time, it was also with the help of Suo Yike that Ye Mu truly had a single-handed control over the country, with eyes and ears everywhere, including her as one of the fierce generals of Ye Mu, and it was possible that Suo Yike had planted a secret line.
In another room, Mo Ya was not treated as well as Ying Ge. Wei Zhuang had a cold face, while Han Fei seemed gentle, but his words were aggressive, with an attitude of "I will not give up until you explain the problem clearly", which made Mo Ya feel sad and tired.
Fortunately, as the leader of the Hundred Birds, Ye Mu is an old hand, and his state of mind has long been tempered by Ji Wuye's moody personality. His acting skills are even better than Yingge's.
But he also understood that even if he and Yingge could hide their flaws, they would not be able to hide it from Liusha for long. They came with a mission and could not just do nothing.
Wei Zhuang heard Mo Ya talking about the tide witch and the straw raincoat man.
"Who is the straw raincoat man?"
Mo Ya vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
"I only know that the Chao Nv Yao is Madam Mingzhu in the palace of King Han. As for the Straw Cloak Guest, I have only met him once and have never seen his true appearance."
Han Fei asked playfully, "You really don't know who the Straw-cloaked Man is?"
Mo Ya's eyes flickered: "I have some guesses, but I want Liusha to ensure the safety of Yingge and me. It would be best if we can be sent out of Korea."
Although he didn't know who the Straw Raincoat Man was, he could use this condition to delay the situation.
He has already revealed who the Chao Nu Yaoi is, and has shown his sincerity.
Wait, Mo Ya suddenly realized something was wrong. Han Fei and Wei Zhuang didn't seem to be interested in who the Chao Nuyao was, as if they had known it for a long time. Could it be that Liusha already knew that the Chao Nuyao was Madam Mingzhu?
Thinking of this, Mo Ya's heart sank. No wonder the general and the marquis regarded Liusha as a serious threat. In such a short period of time, they had come to understand Ye Mu so well.
But he knew that he couldn't let Liusha question him any further. Although the plan was good, it was rushed and had many loopholes. It would be easily blown up if time went on for a long time.
Before he entered Zi Lan Xuan, because the plan went surprisingly smoothly, Mo Ya secretly made a backup plan, whether it was running or disrupting the rhythm of the quicksand, it would have a good effect. Calculating the time, Bai Feng should have been ready.
While Cheng Jiao and Han Fei were conducting their respective interrogations, the Zi Lan Xuan, which had been brightly lit with light, suddenly became dark.
Zi Nu suddenly stood up. Just as Ying Ge was about to move, Jing Wei had already placed the sword on her soft neck, making Ying Ge dare not move at all.
"Sir, there are enemies invading!"
Cheng Jiao stood up and frowned slightly: "Who is it?"
Zi Nu shook her head, "It's not clear yet. There are mysterious mechanisms and strange formations in Zi Lan Xuan, which are controlled by the trusted sisters. The lights are turned off, which is just a prelude to activating the mechanisms. It also indicates that the enemy has appeared around Zi Lan Xuan. There should not be many people. If the army comes, a special signal will be sounded."
Yingge quickly expressed his military morale: "It's probably the Night Bird Killer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Fei and Wei Zhuang came in with Mo Ya.
"The Night Bird Killers are coming, they are the White Phoenix and the Red Owl"
Before Han Fei could continue speaking, outside Zi Lan Xuan, dozens of men in black armed with strong crossbows shot arrows continuously. The sky was like locusts, "rustling" into Zi Lan Xuan.
Jingwei kicked the table to block the arrow.
Zi Nu waved the red soft sword and guarded Cheng Jiao.
"Sir, let's go out first. It's not safe here."
Yan Lingji and Li Wu stood on Cheng Jiao's left and right.
Jingwei and Wei Zhuang jumped out from the French window in the blink of an eye.
Soon, the heavy sound of a corpse falling to the ground was heard outside Zilanxuan.
Red Owl looked at Bai Feng with disdain as she quietly disappeared into the darkness, then looked at Jing Wei and Wei Zhuang and directly ordered to concentrate their fire.
Bai Feng shook her head slightly. She had clearly told Hong Xiao that Jing Wei and Wei Zhuang were not easy to mess with, but he still wanted to be competitive. After all, he was Ji Wuye's good dog.
His and Red Owl's mission was not to assassinate the members of Quicksand, but to disrupt the rhythm of Quicksand and cooperate with Black Crow and Parrot Song to infiltrate Quicksand.
Seeing Jingwei and Weizhuang having difficulty moving forward under the attack of the arrow formation, Red Owl just smiled but his expression suddenly changed.
Wei Zhuang put his fingers together and stroked the shark's teeth, breaking the arrow formation with one blow. Jingwei did not hesitate to take advantage of the short gap and used all his strength to stab the red owl.
The moonlight shone on the Jingwei Sword, reflecting a cold light, which made Hongxiao subconsciously want to dodge, but unfortunately his body movements could not keep up with the speed of his nerve reaction. The Jingwei Sword had already penetrated his left shoulder, causing him to lose strength instantly.
Wei Zhuang killed more than a dozen of the bird killers by cutting melons and vegetables. At the cry of Bai Feng, they all retreated, leaving Red Owl alone to face the enemy.
Jingwei did not kill him. She had just heard Cheng Jiao's instructions to leave a survivor so that Hongxiao would not go to see the King of Hell right away.
Suddenly, many figures appeared in the dark Zilanxuan. The young ladies who had previously put on makeup and had various graceful figures were now dressed neatly and handled the scene very competently.
Outside Zi Lan Xuan, people from Qi Jue Tang emerged from the darkness, dealt with the blood and corpses, and recovered the powerful bows and crossbows.
Wei Zhuang stood on a tall building and watched the disciples of Qi Jue Tang complete the scene before returning to Zi Lan Xuan quietly.
Liusha became a thorn in Ye Mu's side not only because of his identities as Han Fei and Zhang Liang, but this identity combined with the power wielded by Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu made Ye Mu deeply afraid and wanted to get rid of Liusha by any means necessary.
