People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

It seems a bit of a double-edged sword.

After all, in the eyes of the Mohists, if he were to use the ink tablet for his own selfish desires, it would be clearly unjust and unworthy of their help.

He couldn't possibly go against his conscience and deceive the Mohists to help him.

Sigh~ This adorable and charming ancestor, he really knew how to have fun.

Cao Ze accepted the ink tablet.

When you're out in the world, having more friends means having more options.

In case we ever encounter the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) hunting us down, we might be able to use it.

Just as Cao Ze and his group were preparing to go with Six-Fingered Black Knight to pay their respects.

A voice with the charm of a mature woman came from behind me.

"Six Fingers, how have you been?"

Cao Ze turned his head to look.

She was a woman dressed simply and with a beautiful face.

However, what caught his attention even more was what was behind the woman.

A girl about the same age as the Snow Woman.

She stood tall and graceful, with a refined and elegant beauty.

For no apparent reason, a sentence popped into my mind—

I've seen this younger sister before.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight said, "Nian Duan, you've come?"

Nian Duan sighed softly, "I was saddened to hear that the old master had died in battle, so I rushed here from Mirror Lake."

The medical and Mohist families have been on good terms for generations.

If she hadn't been rescued by the old tycoon and sent to Jinghu Medical Clinic to learn medicine, she wouldn't be where she is today.

More than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. She had just taken over as the head of the medical school when she didn't expect that the old master had already passed away.

Infected by Nian Duan's emotions, Cao Ze suddenly felt a surge of sadness.

After realizing what had happened, he was secretly alarmed.

Unexpectedly, Duanmu Rong's teacher was a master of medicine.

Ok?

Cao Ze noticed something was amiss.

The emotions that Nian Duan unintentionally released seemed to carry some divine power.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily infected.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight asked with concern, "Nian Duan, your body?"

Nian Duan said, "It's alright. The way of heaven is constant. This calamity is destined to be mine."

“Master…” Duanmu Rong’s eyes were slightly red.

Nian Duan patted Duanmu Rong's head and said, "Rong'er, don't be sad. Have you forgotten what your teacher told you? The seven emotions can cause internal injury, and sorrow can cause heartache."

Cao Ze secretly guessed that, given Nian Duan's medical skills, neither internal nor external injuries should be a major problem.

Just now, my spirit left my body following my emotions, so I think there's something wrong with my spirit.

This is beyond the cure of medicine; no wonder Nian Duan died without illness.

Duanmu Rong remained silent. "Rong'er understands."

Nian Duan asked, "Master, is the Nameless Sword Saint here?"

Six-Fingered Black Knight said, "He guarded the old master's tomb for seven days and just left yesterday."

"The Nameless Sword Saint has done a favor for the medical family, so please don't blame him, Master."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight said, "He was a friend of the old master. To die for a friend is the duty of the Mohists. What's so strange about that?"

The group walked several dozen more steps.

A middle-aged man with an upright and dignified air, dressed simply, and with bright, piercing eyes approached.

Two men and one woman followed behind her.

"Master, I will be attending the Hundred Schools Society in Handan for the next few days. Please feel free to come and find me if you need anything."

The chivalrous peasant leader, Tian Guang, declared with great pride, "It is the peasant's duty to do so."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you very much, Knight Chief."

Cao Ze glanced at Tian Guang a few times. He wasn't surprised that Tian Guang had joined the Hundred Schools Society; after all, he was an anti-Qin advocate.

Then, his gaze fell on the two men and one woman behind Tian Guang.

One of the young men was Wu Kuang, who had previously appeared on the "Lecture Room" program as a representative of the farming community.

The other young man should be Tian Zhong, who later became the head of the Gonggong Hall. He probably hasn't betrayed the Shennong Hall of the Zhu family yet, so he should be called Zhu Zhong.

As for the last young girl, Cao Ze was all too familiar with her.

He even kept it in folder number nine.

Who else could it be but the alluring and seductive Tian Mi?

However, compared to her peak, Yang Mi is now just a young and beautiful young woman.

He glanced at the pipe tucked into Tian Miyi's belt and knew it was a hidden weapon; he'd better be careful if they ever got into a fight.

As Cao Ze was sizing up Tian Mi, he and Tian Mi made eye contact unintentionally.

He smiled politely.

Tian Mi seemed to remember something and smiled at Cao Ze.

She thought to herself, "Is this the Cao Ze that Wu Kuang was talking about?"

I heard that Boss Tian Guang is paying close attention to Cao Ze, but I don't know if it's true or not.

However, Tian Mi quickly confirmed the rumor.

Tian Guang looked at Cao Ze, cupped his hands and smiled, "Mr. Cao Ze, I have long admired your name."

Cao Ze was a little puzzled by Tian Guang's enthusiasm and said, "Not at all, not at all, the hero is too kind."

"No, no, no, Mr. Cao Ze's logic and philosophy of mind are both exceptional. Even Gongsun Longzi and Mr. Fu Nian praised them highly. I am far inferior to him."

Tian Guang's admiration never wavered. "If Mr. Cao Ze has time, you can come to Dazeshan Farmhouse. I will personally hunt a couple of wild game for you so you can taste the specialties of Dazeshan."

Cao Ze replied politely, "I will definitely go if I have the chance."

After the two groups of people parted ways.

Beside Tian Mi, the sly-looking young man Zhu Zhong said, "Tian Mi, Handan is much more prosperous than Linzi and Sanghai. Why don't we go and have some fun?"

Tian Mi glanced at Zhu Zhong. If he hadn't become the Zhu family's adopted son, he wouldn't even be qualified to be her sycophant.

As a formal member of the Tian family, she had very discerning tastes.

Among all the young people in the farming family, only Wu Kuangsheng was someone she held in high regard.

However, that was before Cao Ze came into her view.

According to Wu Kuang and Xia Kui's evaluation, Cao Ze has the potential to become a grandmaster.

The entire farming family, even the leader of the chivalrous sect, was only a half-step grandmaster.

As for why it's difficult for the agricultural school to produce masters and experts like the Confucian, Mohist, and Taoist schools.

All I can say is, being uncultured is truly terrifying.

If possible, she would like to find a cultured person with the demeanor of a master.

For no other reason than that any master, regardless of whether they are from a different family or the Tian family, is qualified to compete for the title of leader of the knights as long as they join the Farmer's Clan.

If he could marry another member of the Tian clan like her, he would almost certainly be destined to become the leader of the knights.

Cao Ze and Ya Fei went together to the mourning hall to pay their respects to Lu Goujian.

When they came out, they found that the Snow Woman was gone.

Upon inquiring, I learned that Xue Nu had gone to eat at Pao Ding's place with Duanmu Rong.

Ya Fei snorted, "Xue'er is getting more and more unruly."

Cao Ze laughed and said, "The Snow Maiden has never been an honest person."

"Yes, Mr. Cao Ze is now more familiar with Xue'er than I am."

Cao Ze seemed to sense a hint of jealousy.

He coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness is joking."

Ya Fei was a little jealous: "Be nicer to Xue'er from now on, okay?"

Cao Ze nodded slightly, "Okay."

Consort Ya sighed softly, "Are you really determined not to stay in Zhao and to leave?"

Cao Ze said, "Your Highness should know better than I do that once Guo Kai and the Queen discover our relationship and know that I am secretly helping the Crown Prince, staying in Zhao will be fraught with danger."

"What if Zhao Jia becomes the King of Zhao?"

Cao Ze smiled and said, "That's certainly a good idea. It's not too late to come back then."

He didn't quite believe that Zhao Jia could rise to power smoothly, even with his help.

After all, most of Zhao Jia's supporters were from the military, and not from the power center in Handan, but from the border region.

Given Zhao Yan's trust in Guo Kai and other trusted ministers, he could easily get Zhao Jia to leave the Zhao state if the opportunity arose.

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, it was extremely common for princes to be sent to study in other countries and stay as hostages.
