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

She's not stupid. The Yin-Yang School has very few disciples in Handan, while the Mohist School has a large number of people, including both experts and cannon fodder.

Whenever a conflict broke out, they had almost no choice but to flee in a sorry state.

Even if she was very confident that the Mo family would not make a move near the palace, she would not be completely unprepared.

After hearing from the Black and White Sisters, she felt that there was no more suitable place than Fei Xue Pavilion.

As for what outsiders think, the Yin-Yang School doesn't care about saving face.

The most important thing now is to ensure that the disciples and followers of the Yin-Yang School can safely enter Qin.

Ya Fei chuckled and said, "Although Fei Xue Pavilion is available for accommodation, it's not cheap every night."

She needs a lot of money to support the group of sisters in Feixue Pavilion, and she can't ask the royal family for money, so she has to pay for it herself.

In addition, she wasn't a rich woman, nor was she wealthy, and she still had a conscience.

That's why they arrange dance performances every night to generate revenue.

Naturally, they wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to make money in the accommodation sector.

However, she set an exorbitant price, clearly aiming to rip people off; each person would need ten gold coins to stay one night.

Therefore, generally no one will come to live there; these days, not many people want to be taken advantage of.

"This is a gold note worth a thousand gold coins, enough for a half-month stay."

Consort Yan took out ten gold notes, each worth one hundred gold coins, and said, "If Your Highness Consort Ya feels it is not enough, I can make up the difference."

Because the Yin-Yang School had planned to enter Qin early on, they sold off many of their properties in Chu, so they were not short of money.

She had little worldly experience, and in order not to be troubled by money, she brought gold notes worth three thousand gold coins with her when she left the Yin-Yang School this time.

Faced with the wealthy Yan Fei, Ya Fei's eyes twitched slightly.

The entire construction of Feixue Pavilion cost her less than five hundred gold coins.

Slaughter them! They must be slaughtered!

"Welcome to Feixue Pavilion, Your Excellency Dongjun. Xue'er, please take them to choose a few rooms."

Ya Fei made the arrangements with a smile.

Cao Ze watched Yan Fei and the other women's retreating figures and pondered for a moment.

She's a rich woman!

If you marry him, you'll instantly become a rich guy.

He wants to work hard again~

Seeing that Xue Nu was leaving, Duanmu Rong felt she couldn't stay any longer and left Feixue Pavilion.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw my teacher standing under the eaves of Feixue Pavilion with the leader of the Mohist school.

Chapter 128 was hasty.

After Duanmu Rong left, Cao Ze drank the last cup of jade wine and slowly stood up.

"Why not stay a little longer? The dream of the Red Chamber isn't over yet."

"The dream is too long, the night too short, we can't finish talking by candlelight."

Ya Fei smiled and handed Cao Ze an umbrella.

"Though dreams are long, winter nights are not short. Between waking and sleeping by candlelight, one can always finish a dream, can't one?"

Cao Ze smiled and said, "That's true."

Ya Fei's beautiful eyes lingered on Cao Ze's face for a moment, then she glanced out the window and said with a double meaning, "It seems this winter won't be too lonely like snow."

The closed doors of Feixue Pavilion were pushed open again.

The snowflakes, which had stopped falling, began to fall slowly from the sky again.

"Your Highness Yafei."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was dressed in a black robe with a black eyebrow pendant symbolizing his status as the leader of the Mohist school. His aura remained hidden.

A large snowflake, nearly ten feet in diameter, rushed in from outside the door, turning into dust silently.

After hearing Duanmu Rong say that the Yin Yang School group had stayed at Feixue Pavilion, he knew the Yin Yang School's plan.

He had agreed to help Gongsun Yu defend Puyang, so he didn't have time to linger in Handan.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight hadn't yet unleashed his aura, but he already appeared terrifying.

Duanmu Rong stood somewhat timidly behind Nian Duan.

Nian Duan said softly, "Rong'er, don't be afraid."

Ya Fei took a deep breath of the cold winter air, and she knew that this thousand gold pieces wouldn't be easy to earn.

"The Grand Master and Master Nian Duan came to Fei Xue Pavilion together, I wonder..."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight said calmly, "Your Highness, Consort Ya, should be aware of the old and new grudges between my Mo family and the Yin-Yang family."

Cao Ze thought to himself, "Looks like there's going to be some fun tonight."

Consort Ya's pretty face turned slightly solemn as she said, "Of course I know."

"However, this is Feixue Pavilion, the culmination of my efforts. Does the Grand Master intend to make his move here?"

The atmosphere on the first floor of Feixue Pavilion began to solidify, like the ice on a river in winter.

Dozens of meters outside, Zhao Jia was wearing a high-necked white fox fur coat, and Guo Kai, wearing a red cloak, stood beside her.

"Prime Minister, make preparations. If a conflict breaks out, send the city guards to quell the chaos."

Ya Fei is his aunt and also his most supportive person.

It can be said that his aunt deserves a significant share of the credit for his ability to secure his position as crown prince.

He couldn't let his aunt be put in danger.

Guo Kai chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you know the Mo family's temperament. If we don't let the Mo family take revenge, I'm afraid this winter in Handan won't be peaceful."

Zhao Jia's expression darkened slightly. "I will not stop the Mo family from seeking revenge. But the Mo family cannot be in Handan City, at least not near the royal palace."

Guo Kai analyzed, "Didn't Your Highness realize that the Yin-Yang School is precisely because they recognize this point, which is why they don't stray far from the vicinity of the palace, and even... have already chosen to stay at Fei Xue Pavilion. Otherwise, the leader of the Mohist School wouldn't have gone in directly."

Seeing that Zhao Jia remained unmoved.

Guo Kai said in a measured tone, "Your Highness, the King is currently recuperating from an illness."

Zhao Jia paused slightly, then asked, "What does the Prime Minister want to say?"

"In my opinion, the Mohists, who haven't made a move, are an unstable force. You don't know what they'll do after they've held back this time. People, once they suppress their feelings for too long, will cause big trouble, let alone the prominent Mohists today?"

Guo Kai said slowly, "If because of us, the Mohists storm the palace like they did back then, frightening the King who is recuperating..."

Zhao Jia couldn't help but gasp in the cold winter air.

Seeing Zhao Jia's dilemma, Guo Kai continued, "Your Highness, the snow that was so late this year has finally fallen today. The Mohist school should also..."

"Prime Minister, please stop talking. Let's prepare to clean up this mess."

Zhao Jia didn't want his aunt to be in danger, but he didn't want his father, who was currently recuperating from an illness, to be in danger either.

The safety and life of my father are related to the stability of the Zhao state.

After the five states' failed attack on Qin in the Battle of Changping, the State of Zhao could not withstand any further turmoil.

He had to think more about it.

Guo Kai secretly sneered at Zhao Jia, thinking her to be so soft-hearted.

He was right about Zhao Jia. His upright character and prudent conduct were indeed excellent qualities for a qualified successor, but if that was all, he would only be taken advantage of.

He was more confident that he could get rid of Zhao Jia after Qin attacked Zhao.

Inside Feixue Pavilion, a tense atmosphere arose because of a single sentence uttered by Consort Ya.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the Mo family still has properties in Handan, worth no less than a thousand gold pieces. If Your Highness is willing to leave Feixue Pavilion and not participate in the conflict between the Mo family and the Yin-Yang family, the Mo family's properties in Handan will be given to Your Highness as compensation to Feixue Pavilion."

Cao Ze couldn't help but look at Ya Fei.

As the most prosperous place in the State of Qi, Handan was home to many Mohist families whose assets there were worth far more than a thousand gold pieces.

Even without managing it, you could sell it directly and get at least two thousand gold coins right away.

Unexpectedly, Consort Ya immediately shouted, "It's impossible for me to leave Feixue Pavilion!"

Cao Ze and the Six-Fingered Black Knight were all taken aback, not expecting Ya Fei to be so assertive at this moment.

It was completely different from her usual elegance and composure.

Ya Fei seemed to realize that she had gone too far.

But giving up Feixue Pavilion is simply impossible.

The bronze treasure box containing the information about the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon is hidden inside the pavilion and guarded by her.

If the Six-Fingered Black Knight and the Yin-Yang School were to clash and destroy the Fei Xue Pavilion, revealing the Bronze Treasure Box, it would likely create an even bigger upheaval, plunging Handan into greater turmoil.

She sighed inwardly, lamenting the loss of the Mo family's assets.

For hundreds of years, the disputes caused by the bronze treasure box related to the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions have been countless.

Almost every royal palace in various countries that housed the bronze treasure box had been infiltrated by martial arts masters with exceptional skills or extraordinary agility.

Gradually, a tacit understanding developed among the countries.

For the sake of the palace's security, royal families generally do not keep bronze treasure boxes in the palace.

They are either guarded by trusted and powerful individuals, secretly protected by members of the royal family, or placed in some secret location.

Just as the bronze treasure box of the Wei Kingdom was not in the Wei King's Palace, but in the mansion of the grandmaster Wei Wuji.

The moment Six-Fingered Black Knight entered, Yan Fei and the other women, who had just gone up to the second floor, already noticed him.

The Snow Maiden's slender, jade-like hands were twisted together as she nervously watched Sister Yafei downstairs.

She knew Yafei's personality well; once she made up her mind, she would never back down.

Yan Fei was slightly surprised. She hadn't expected that this Princess Ya Fei also possessed the strength of a first-class innate realm, which was no less than that of the elders of their Yin Yang Clan.
