Chapter 159 Countdown (2/2)



This means.........

The opponent's strength is difficult to estimate.

Now, Zhou Cheng has powerful internal weapons and a loyal army of 90,000 men. Taking over the Yan Kingdom will be a piece of cake, and it is very likely that he will become the hegemon of the Central Plains.

Cheng Gui Ge, with its extensive network spanning every region of the Central Plains and its spies in every city, department, and even the imperial court, would have a significant influence if it were to establish friendly relations with Zhou Cheng…

With two major forces, one overt and one covert, joining forces, how could countries not be alarmed?

Such a low-level method of sowing discord would likely lead to infighting among any other person in charge of the pavilion, but unfortunately, the pavilion master of Cheng Gui Pavilion is Cheng Xianyi.

Ziyan suddenly realized and said, "I understand, Master. You want to hold back and find out who wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

"Rather than letting someone in the shadows do whatever it takes to harm you, it's better to hit the bullseye the first time."

"As long as you are here, this lose-lose situation will not happen. The solution is easy. As long as you reveal the identity of the Pavilion Master, everything will be resolved."

"Then what kind of force does our master have that would want Young Master Zhou and Cheng Gui Pavilion to kill each other?"

After Ziyan figured it out, her anxious heart calmed down.

She couldn't help but sigh, as long as her master didn't get love-struck, his brain was still quite sharp.

Either don't make a move at all!

Once you make a move, you can't leave the other side any room to maneuver!

Cheng Xianyi looked up at the window, her eyes clear and pure, without a trace of impurity: "I also want to know, what kind of force is that..."

"Ziyan, you should go and deliver the message."

It wasn't until Cheng Xianyi urged her that Ziyan gathered her thoughts and immediately made an excuse to go downstairs and leave.

However,

Ziyan didn't notice—

As she turned to go downstairs, Cheng Xianyi placed her right hand elegantly on her lower back, staring intently at the direction of East Street, while her lips parted slightly as she began to count down.

ten,

Nine,

eight........

two,

one!

The moment the lips met and the word fell to the ground.

“Swish swish!!”

"Swish swish!"

Suddenly, several imposing figures rushed into the room.

Each person was dressed in light black casual clothes, with painted masks on their faces, and their bodies were enveloped in a powerful aura. Their dangling arms were full of muscles, and they were clearly people with extremely strong martial arts skills.

The leader was holding two valuable pearls.

Cheng Xianyi lowered her eyes slightly and glanced at the two pearls.

The man also glanced Cheng Xianyi up and down, a smile spreading across his lips as he asked lightly, with a hint of disdain, "Zhou Cheng's fiancée? Cheng Xianyi, the delicate only daughter of Grand Tutor Cheng?"

"No wonder Zhou Cheng was able to give up the Lin family girl in the capital and even take you with him when he left Jiangling City. You are indeed extraordinary."

"What a pity..."

"A prodigy is easily killed in the cradle before he rises to prominence."

"Miss Cheng, the group of people protecting you downstairs have been lured away. You're a gentle and refined young lady, you probably don't want us to use force, right? Please come with us!"
