Chapter 42: Fraud and Assassination
"But Master Chengjiao, the Lord of Chang'an?"

The tall and thin boss greeted us warmly.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

Cheng Jiao glanced at Zi Nu without leaving a trace. He still didn't bring any money today. What a damn habit!
"Haha, young master, you are now the lucky star and god of wealth of our Xinzheng. From now on, all your consumption here will be free of charge, I said. I hope you can take good care of our master - Lord Anping."

Cheng Jiao was a little confused: "Anping Jun? I take care of him?"

The thin boss smiled and whispered, "Some time ago, Lord Jade Tiger built a Treasure Pavilion. My master invested three thousand gold and received a hundred gold in less than half a month. Now everyone knows that Lord Jade Tiger made so much money because of you."

The corner of Cheng Jiao's mouth twitched. This Emerald Tiger was indeed full of bad intentions and had already started committing fraud in his name.

He did not explain anything. He had no intention of colluding with Ji Wuye. He just wanted to lay a mine to see what kind of fireworks would explode.

After exchanging pleasantries with the thin boss, Cheng Jiao went to the second floor of the restaurant with Zi Nu. They did not choose a private room because the Mohist school advocated frugality and Cheng Jiao naturally did not want to be extravagant.

Zi Nu said solemnly: "It seems that Ji Wuye wants to throw you out as a scapegoat."

Cheng Jiao said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter, it's all the same."

"Aren't you worried?"

"Do you think you care about me?"

Looking at Cheng Jiao's emotional eyes, Zi Nu found it increasingly difficult to resist.

"Stop messing around, the giant is still waiting for us on the second floor."

Cheng Jiao smiled, took Zi Nu's white and tender little hand and went upstairs.

Zi Nu did not struggle to break free, and seemed to have acquiesced to Cheng Jiao's initiative.

Cheng Jiao suddenly felt Zi Nu holding his hand tightly, and just when he was confused.

Zi Nu whispered, "There is murderous intent."

Cheng Jiao's eyes narrowed. Did Ji Wuye send someone? He couldn't be that stupid!

As for whether it was the Mohist school, Cheng Jiao didn't believe it. Even if he wanted to kill him, he would just chop him down without saying a word.

The leader of the Mohist school wearing a black cloak was drinking tea, Prince Dan of Yan was touching the teacup and thinking, while Jing Ke was already holding the jar of wine and drinking, looking very refreshed!

When Cheng Jiao and Zi Nu sat down, Prince Dan of Yan spoke: "Lord Chang'an, you are in danger now."

Cheng Jiao laughed and said, "Oh? I wonder who can kill me in front of the Mohist leader, the Six-Fingered Black Knight?"

Jing Ke didn't care: "You rotten fish and shrimp, wait until I've had enough, I'll punch them all."

After saying that, he drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, with a look of intoxication and enjoyment on his face.

"As expected of a big restaurant, this wine is good. Although it's not as strong as the Lieyunshao from Yan State ten years ago, it's also very flavorful."

Cheng Jiao also picked up the bowl and filled it up, drinking from the big bowl, which was indeed refreshing.

"The wine is good, but it's still a little inferior to the orchid wine brewed by Miss Zi Nu herself."

"Oh wow! Miss Zi Nu can also make wine. Jing Ke is looking forward to it!"

Zi Nu raised her glass and said with a smile: "Come to Zi Lan Xuan, I will give you good wine to drink."

Jing Ke stood up.

"In that case, Jing Ke should also present the gift first!"

After he finished speaking, Jing Ke appeared beside a wine table.

"Hey, you guys are drinking, but you don't buy me a drink. That's not polite."

The three people at the table immediately drew their swords and stabbed Jing Ke. Jing Ke drank with one hand and punched with the other. The three people fell to the first floor and died.

Zi Nu has a very good eyesight.

"Spider tattoo, web killer."

She glanced at Cheng Jiao, who was also thinking deeply. Lü Buwei sent these minions to assassinate him? This was too disrespectful to him. Were they here to disgust him?

The six-fingered black warrior put Mo Mei on the table: "Luo Wang is notorious, he deserves to be killed!"

Yan Dan said playfully, "Luowang is a killer organization under the Qin State. They actually came to assassinate Lord Chang'an."

Cheng Jiao didn't take it seriously: "It's nothing, Prince Dan should just take it as a warning." Yan Dan smiled and said: "Such a situation will never happen in our country."

Cheng Jiao thought of Yan Chunjun, looked at Yan Dan's handsome face with scars, and said meaningfully, "Is that so?"

Zi Nu knew that Cheng Jiao had a hard time in Qin and was forced to leave and come to Xinzheng in Han.

She put her hand on Cheng Jiao's hand and said nothing, but also said everything she wanted to say.

Cheng Jiao felt warm in his heart. It was great that the woman was supporting him with her actions.

In a short time, Jing Ke performed a round of drunken boxing, sat down on his seat, raised his head and took a sip from the wine jar.

"How wonderful! But it's a pity that there is no Kuang Xiu's little song to liven up the atmosphere. What a pity!"

Cheng Jiao took the jar of wine and poured another bowl.

"Kuang Xiu is the most famous musician in Zhao State, and Cheng Jiao has never had the honor of hearing him. Legend has it that when Kuang Xiu plays the zither, even birds in the sky will come down to listen; and listeners will be affected by the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in his music, as if they were in the scene themselves, unable to extricate themselves."

Jing Ke waved his hand: "It's not that mysterious, but the little tune he played is very much to my taste."

Zi Nu took a sip of hot tea and said, "Nong Yu has always respected Kuang Xiu and believes that he has reached the highest realm of music."

Jing Ke was very happy that someone praised his friend like this.

Just as several people were happily communicating, a young man holding a sword and wearing a bamboo hat walked towards Cheng Jiao step by step.

The tattoo on the back of his hand tells everyone his identity, the Luowang Killer!
Cheng Jiao held the wine glass, wondering why another person came to die.

"Master Chengjiao of Chang'an, the Lord has asked me to bring you a message."

"Go ahead."

The young man's expression did not change at all in response to Cheng Jiao's indifference.

"My Lord said that the Qin court is in danger now. I hope that Chang'an Jun will stay in Han and not take risks easily, otherwise it will be very difficult for my Lord."

Cheng Jiao said slowly, "Is Lu Buwei threatening me?"

The young man didn't say anything, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, he had bit himself to death.

The air froze in an instant, Cheng Jiao narrowed his eyes, he was angry!

The six-fingered black warrior slowly stood up and said, "Sir, let's go to another place."

Jing Ke was a little depressed: "Unlucky, too unlucky!"

Yan Dan followed behind the Six-Fingered Black Knight without saying a word.

Cheng Jiao held Zi Nu's hand and suddenly smiled and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Zi Nu tapped Cheng Jiao's palm with her finger and said, "In Xinzheng, no one can hurt you."

This is Zi Nu's promise, and she is confident of it.

The thin owner of the hotel did not dare to show up when Jing Ke was beating up the Luowang minions. He recognized that they were Luowang killers and knew that neither of these two groups of people were someone he could afford to offend, so he simply acted like a coward and turned a blind eye.

When Cheng Jiao was about to leave the restaurant, he suddenly patted the thin boss.

"The wine is good, but there is no such thing as a free lunch. Let Emerald Tiger Knot take the credit and say it was me who said it."

How could the thin boss dare to say anything more? He just kept saying, "Yes, yes, yes."

I just want to get rid of the God of Wealth and the God of Plague in front of me as soon as possible.

Cheng Jiao smiled and walked out.

The shopkeeper poked his head out and said, "Boss, do you need to see Master Jade Tiger?"

The thin boss slapped the shopkeeper on the head.

"Looking for? What the hell! Do you want me dead? Go find the authorities to collect my body! It's so damn unlucky!"

After a while, the thin boss narrowed his eyes, glanced at the corpse on the ground, suddenly laughed, and quickly walked out of the restaurant.
