Even an ordinary citizen would pay attention to Hundred Poisons Sect, much less Jun Yi Xie and Ning Cheng.
Jun Yi Xie had yet to give Ning Cheng a clear answer regarding the thirty thousand warhorses. Ning Cheng, on the other hand, kept a high profile. Not only did he not attack Jun Yi Xie, he did not even mention it.
It had to be said that Ning Cheng's attitude had more or less influenced Jun Yi Xie's decision. But everything was in Jun Yixie's heart, so he didn't say a word.
Over the past few days, he and Ning Cheng had been paying attention to Hundred Poisons Sect. Ning Cheng guessed that Jun Yi Xie was probably waiting for the results of Hundred Poisons Sect before making a decision.
Although Ning Cheng was unwilling to admit it, he knew that Bai Yanqing would not be able to escape if Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi joined forces. So what if they caught Bai Yanqing?
Bai Yanqing did not even want the world. Everything he did was to sow discord between Eastern and Western Qin. Would such a person speak the truth?
Western Zhou's Emperor Kang Cheng had invited various factions and made such a big deal out of it. How many people would rush to Hundred Poisons Sect in the next few days? How many people would come to watch?
Under these circumstances, Bai Yanqing would be even less likely to speak. In fact, Bai Yanqing would even use such a big event to cause the enmity between Eastern and Western Qin to sink to a point of no return!
Ning Cheng punched the wall with his fist. He had spent a lot of effort over the past few days, but he could not find an opportunity to send a message under Jun Yi Xie's surveillance.
How could he have imagined that there would be a day when he would spend so much effort to resolve the enmity between Eastern and Western Qin?
At this moment, Bai Yuqiao entered.
Every time Bai Yuqiao came, there was only one thing, and that was the grudge between Jun Yi Xie and Bai Yanqing. She didn't dare to ask Jun Yi Xie directly, so she could only ask Ning Cheng for information.
"Is my senior brother really not planning to go to Hundred Poisons Sect?" Bai Yuqiao asked the moment he entered. He never beat around the bush. Although it was too late to set off now, she was still worried.
"No." Ning Cheng said coldly, "Little girl, you're underestimating your Senior Brother. Even if Bai Yanqing is his father, he won't go. "
"What did he say to you?" Bai Yuqiao asked anxiously.
"What? Do you like your senior brother that much?" Ning Cheng asked with a sneer.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Yuqiao denied in a huff, but her face was still red.
Ning Cheng shrugged and didn't say anything. He just pointed at the door for her to leave.
"What did my senior brother say to you?" Bai Yuqiao asked anxiously. She was worried that although her senior brother didn't go personally, he would still send someone to help.
After all, the fact that her senior brother was the sect master of Hundred Poisons Sect had long been exposed by Han Yunxi. Now, everyone was paying attention to the Feng clan, so very few people would mention him. However, this didn't mean that everyone had forgotten about him.
At this time, not only could he not get involved, but it was also best to take the opportunity to draw a clear line between himself and Hundred Poisons Sect so that he wouldn't become the target of public criticism.
Seeing that Bai Yuqiao wasn't leaving, Ning Cheng didn't say anything more and left.
However, Bai Yuqiao immediately rushed in front of him and blocked him, "What do you want in order to tell me? Ning Cheng, don't forget that you were poisoned to death by Han Yunxi. I saved you! "
"So what?" Ning Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"Do you believe that I can have my senior brother kill you at any time!" Bai Yuqiao warned.
Bai Yuqiao was simply deceiving herself. Ning Cheng controlled his temper and said to her word by word, "Your senior brother didn't put you in his eyes at all, let alone put you in his heart. Your words aren't even as important as that little soldier in my battalion commander's camp. If you don't believe me, you can go and try. "
Bai Yuqiao stared blankly. She was self-aware and had enough eyesight to clearly see her position in front of her senior brother. Ever since she came back, she had never seen her face like this. However, her senior brother hadn't asked a single word about it. One had to know that her face was completely ruined! It was very ugly!
However, it was one thing to know about it, and another to have it mentioned by someone else.
This was like a scar that had formed a scab. The scab that one carefully removed was completely different from the scab being removed by someone else. The latter would be very, very painful!
Ning Cheng walked around her and headed out of the door. Who knew that Bai Yuqiao would chase after him and grab Ning Cheng's arm.
Almost at the same time that Bai Yuqiao grabbed his arm, Ning Cheng fiercely flung it away, as if he didn't like this kind of touch. Bai Yuqiao really almost fell out!
Ning Cheng looked over angrily. Bai Yuqiao actually said loudly, "Yes, I like my senior brother. So what?"
"What does that have to do with me?" Ning Cheng snorted.
"I'm begging you, alright?" Bai Yuqiao was actually about to cry.
Such a vicious and stubborn girl. Her face had been ruined by Gu, but she had never cried. Now, she was actually crying because of Ning Cheng's harsh words?
Unfortunately, Ning Cheng didn't have the slightest bit of compassion. When he was in Myriad Merchant Hall, there were many women who acted coquettishly in front of him. There were also many who pretended to be pitiful. All of them were more beautiful and had higher status than Bai Yuqiao, but he had never softened his heart, let alone Bai Yuqiao.
Ning Cheng wasn't someone who would show mercy to women.
If it was in the past, Ning Cheng would definitely leave without looking back. However, this time, Ning Cheng seemed to have broken his patience. He answered Bai Yuqiao, "Why should I help you?"
When he said this, Bai Yuqiao finally felt less hopeless. She hurriedly asked, "What do I have to do for you to help me?"
Ning Cheng snorted softly, "What can you do?"
Bai Yuqiao was afraid of Ning Cheng's cold attitude earlier. She was afraid that Ning Cheng would be unhappy and not even give her a chance. How could she have known that Ning Cheng had his eyes on her for a long time?
"As long as you don't betray my Senior Brother, I can do anything." Bai Yuqiao immediately revealed her bottom line.
Ning Cheng knew that he was halfway to success.
When Bai Yuqiao came to ask about Jun Yi Xie, she would send away the people who were watching him inside and outside the tent. Therefore, he could only hide from Jun Yi Xie through Bai Yuqiao.
Ning Cheng finally turned around and came back. He said indifferently, "When the time comes, there's something that you can help me with."
"Say it!" Bai Yuqiao was excited.
"Hehe, help me buy a few jars of wine. Don't let your Senior Brother know." Ning Cheng said casually.
Bai Yuqiao was naturally vigilant, "Why don't you let my Senior Brother know? He didn't forbid you from drinking."
Ning Cheng sneered, "The wine in his army can't even be swallowed. It's not enough for this Patriarch to drink! Hehe, since your Senior Brother is so short on money, I won't despise him. I don't want to ask for trouble. "
Bai Yuqiao knew how much Senior Brother needed money. Bai Yuqiao also knew how much Senior Brother cared about his face. If Ning Cheng despised Senior Brother for such a small matter, Senior Brother would definitely fly into a rage out of humiliation.
Bai Yuqiao was originally on guard against Ning Cheng asking her to do something big. She didn't expect that it would be such a small matter as secretly buying wine.
She let down her guard a lot.
"What kind of wine do you want to drink? I'll treat you!" Although she didn't have much money, she could still treat Ning Cheng to a meal.
Who knew that the moment Ning Cheng opened his mouth, he would scare her.
"Ten jars of Iced Wine will do." Ning Cheng said.
The corner of Bai Yuqiao's mouth twitched! Iced Wine was a kind of wine that was unique to Northern Li. It was the best kind of wine produced in Northern Li. It was specially provided by the Imperial Family.
Only when the Imperial Family was happy and rewarded it to the nobles and officials would this kind of wine flow out of the palace. Some people who were rewarded didn't like wine and loved money. They would secretly give the Iced Wine to the big wineries to secretly sell. Over time, some people in the Imperial Family knew about this. Therefore, every year when the Iced Wine was sent to the palace as tribute, those princes and imperial grandsons who lacked pocket money would secretly take out the Iced Wine and sell it at a high price.
This matter was no secret in Northern Li's noble circle. Over the years, the Iced Wine had become more and more expensive. A small jar of only four or five cups would cost more than five thousand taels of silver. But there were still people who could afford it.
These people didn't want to buy the wine to drink. They wanted to get close to the people who bought the wine and get close to the princes and imperial grandsons.
To put it bluntly, this was disguised bribery!
Ning Cheng wanted ten jars of this Iced Wine. Wouldn't that be fifty thousand taels? Not to mention fifty thousand taels, she didn't even have five thousand taels. The few gold cards that Ning Cheng had given her before, she had already given them all to her Senior Brother to pay for the army.
Taking a step back, even if those gold cards were still in her hands, she couldn't spend so much money to buy wine for Ning Cheng!
Ning Cheng was a rich man, and she was just a poor person!
Bai Yuqiao looked at Ning Cheng and finally understood the real reason why Ning Cheng didn't ask her Senior Brother for wine. He was simply humiliating her Senior Brother for being poor!
"This wine is rare, I can't afford it." Bai Yuqiao was very direct.
Ning Cheng didn't hesitate to take out a few banknotes worth ten thousand taels of silver, "This family head never drinks wine that a woman pays for. This is a hundred thousand taels, I'll sell as much as you have. The rest will be a fee for my hard work."
Although the price of Iced Wine wasn't fixed, and the difference in price between different places wasn't small, it shouldn't be a difference of fifty thousand taels!
This fee for his hard work immediately moved Bai Yuqiao. She immediately agreed, thinking that she could save the remaining ten thousand taels for emergencies.
Bai Yuqiao took the banknotes, "I promise you. Can you tell me why Senior Brother didn't go to Hundred Poisons Sect?"
"He's waiting for your Master to have nowhere else to go and come find him!" Ning Cheng replied.
Bai Yuqiao was very smart, but how could she compete with him?
"You mean my Master won't go to Hundred Poisons Sect." Bai Yuqiao said seriously. She had always guessed this.
Only, her thoughts were crooked.
She thought her Master wouldn't go, and her Senior Brother would go and stand up for Hundred Poisons Sect. She neglected the fact that her Senior Brother was waiting for her Master to come!
"Senior Brother told you?" Bai Yuqiao needed this confirmation.
Ning Cheng shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything. Bai Yuqiao thought he had tacitly agreed.
"Ning Cheng, I can continue to help you sell wine and do other things. Promise me, if my Master comes, you must persuade my Senior Brother not to fall into Bai Yanqing's trap!" Bai Yuqiao said seriously.
"Bring me ten jars of Iced Wine first. Otherwise, there's nothing to talk about!" Ning Cheng finished speaking, flicked his sleeves and strode away.
Bai Yuqiao didn't hesitate. That night, she left the army camp and personally found someone to sell wine.
Jun Yi Xie couldn't see any clues about this matter, but Jun Yi Xie might not agree, and also might not ask for Ning Cheng's wine money. Bai Yuqiao was different. She would definitely help Ning Cheng spend the banknotes. And what Ning Cheng wanted was these banknotes to flow out.
As for whether Bai Yanqing would go to Hundred Poisons Sect or come to see Jun Yi Xie, Ning Cheng wasn't completely sure. He was more inclined to believe that Bai Yanqing would go to Hundred Poisons Sect.
The day was getting closer, but there was still no news from Bai Yanqing. How would he choose?
