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

"Yan Fei..."

Cao Ze smiled faintly and said, "Then you shouldn't address me as 'sir' anymore."

Yan Fei was slightly taken aback, then smiled gently, "Okay, Cao Ze."

He then sighed, "My heart is grieved by the separation from my close friend."

Cao Ze mounted his horse and said loudly to Yan Fei, "A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near."

"No need to be sentimental or dwell on it. I'm leaving!"

He whipped his whip and drove away, leaving Yanfei with only his back view.

Yanfei, who was initially feeling down, was greatly encouraged by Cao Ze's positive words and her spirits lifted considerably.

The Black and White Sisters and the Great Master of Fate simultaneously had an absurd thought: Could it be that Lord Dongjun has fallen in love?

Yan Fei glanced at the young master Siming, who had different thoughts, and put her mask and hat back on. She said, "Let's set off and try to meet up with the Eastern Emperor Sect Leader and the others within five days."

"promise."

Yan Fei walked through the snow at a moderate pace. The vast white world made her mood, which had just improved, turn slightly melancholy again.

Before we knew it, fine snow began to fall from the sky, and the wind grew stronger.

As Yanfei gazed at the scene of flowing wind and swirling snow, where the snow and sky met, she was moved by the sight.

She softly recited to herself: "When I left, the willows were swaying; now I return, the rain and snow are falling..."

Compared to Yan Fei's romantic and poetic sentiments, Cao Ze was speechless.

Running against the wind and snow.

This feeling made him want to build a Hummer right there on the spot.

As the hour of Chen approached, Cao Ze arrived at Niushou Village and fell off his horse.

The wind and snow subsided a bit.

Before Cao Ze could even enter the village to find Jing Ke, Jing Ke had already strode out.

Compared to his previous dejected state, Jing Ke now exudes an aura of overwhelming power in Cao Ze's eyes.

Even though they were dozens of steps apart, Cao Ze could still feel the sword intent emanating from Jing Ke's entire body.

It shares a similar essence with the sword intent emanating from Lu Goujian on that day.

"Congratulations, Brother Jing Ke."

Cao Ze took out two small jars of Lieyun Shao liquor and tossed one to Jing Ke.

Jing Ke uncorked the wine and drank it down in one gulp.

"Cough cough cough-"

Short, violent coughs kept coming out of Jing Ke's mouth.

"Strong liquor! Refreshing!"

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "I specially brought this Yan Kingdom's Lieyun Shao from Handan. How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Jing Ke took a slow sip, exhaled a breath of alcohol, and said, "It is indeed strong enough, worthy of being called the strongest liquor in the Seven Kingdoms."

Cao Ze said, "Judging from the sword intent emanating from you, have you broken through?"

"Not yet, I've only gleaned a little something of my own from the Mo family's swordsmanship. But..."

Jing Ke chuckled and said, "I've already been able to sense a bit of the power of heaven and earth. Just now, you saw the sword intent emanating from my whole body; that was me trying to control the changes around me with sword intent."

"If all goes well, I can become a half-step Grandmaster within two years, and be a top-notch expert in the martial arts world."

Cao Ze listened to Jing Ke's somewhat boastful words and was amazed by Jing Ke's talent.

He knew quite a bit about Jing Ke.

Jing Ke began practicing swordsmanship at the age of seven, and after ten years of training, he began to approach the realm of a half-step grandmaster.

His wife, Jingni, started practicing swordsmanship at the age of five and cultivated for thirteen years before breaking through to the half-step Grandmaster level a year ago.

It can only be said that this world has never lacked exceptionally talented individuals.

However, she's still a bit worse than him.

If he had cultivated from a young age, he would at least be a Grandmaster by now.

"Xiao Ke, it's time to go!"

A tall man called out at the entrance of the village.

"Brother Qin is here!"

Jing Ke replied to Qin Wuyang.

"Brother, after we finish defending Puyang, I'll come to Handan to have a drink with you!"

Cao Ze watched as Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang gathered together, and the six-fingered black-robed knight disappeared into the wind and snow.

A slight smirk played on his lips as he thought to himself, "With the assassination duo in place, how far off is the King of Qin's escape from the pillar?"

Chapter 145 Female Fairy

As Cao Ze was preparing to return to Handan to reconnect with his giant salamander, he saw two beautiful women, one big and one small, emerge from Niushou Village.

"Master Nianduan".

Cao Ze took the initiative to bow with his hands clasped in greeting.

Nian Duan nodded slightly. "Mr. Cao Ze, are you here to see me off?"

She had just said goodbye to Six-Fingered Black Knight and knew that he was really going to the Puyang battlefield, so she wasn't very excited.

Cao Ze said, "That's right."

Duanmu Rong stood there looking around and asked, "Mr. Cao Ze, didn't Xue Nu come with you?"

Cao Ze laughed and said, "I arrived early and didn't call her."

He dared not bring the Snow Maiden; Yan Fei would have to run away anyway.

Duanmu Rong was somewhat disappointed and wanted to go to the city to say goodbye to Xue Nu, but considering her teacher's health, she had to give up the idea.

Nian Duan said calmly, "Mr. Cao Ze, it's time for us to leave. Goodbye."

She was actually very interested in talking to Cao Ze.

The higher one's level of understanding, the more one can recognize the value of Cao Ze's logic and philosophy of mind.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the time or the energy.

She needs to return to Jinghu Medical Manor to recuperate. After being away for more than a month, the rate at which her spirit is dissipating has accelerated.

Cao Ze nodded slightly, "I wish you both a safe journey."

Duanmu Rong said with some reluctance, "Sir, please tell Xue Nu that I have to return to Jinghu Medical Manor and I'm sorry I can't say goodbye to her."

Cao Ze said, "Okay, I will tell Xue Nu."

Duanmu Rong smiled and said, "If you have the chance, you and Xue Nu can come to Jinghu Medical Manor as guests. I will personally prepare medicinal meals for you."

Cao Ze's heart stirred slightly, and he smiled, "Alright, I haven't tasted Miss Rong's cooking yet."

He suddenly thought that it would be perfect if Duanmu Rong could be his personal physician.

The ladies no longer need to worry about his power output!

Cao Ze paid his respects at Lu Goujian's grave.

Wei Gongzi Mou came over, bowed in return, and said, "Old Lu, Gongsun Long is preparing to go into seclusion. It's getting boring, so I'm leaving."

Cao Ze asked, "Where are you planning to go, senior?"

He paid considerable attention to this man who was a semi-master of the Yang Zhu school and also a former royal prince of the Wei state.

"Go find Wei Wuji, oh dear~ I'm getting old, and all the people I used to know are gone..."

Cao Ze pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior, do you know where the Nameless Sword Saint has gone?"

Wei Gongzi Mou offered incense to Lu Goujian and said, "Who knows? Maybe he's like me, enjoying wandering around."

After saying that, he looked up at Cao Ze and said, "Actually, Old Lu's death can't really be blamed on Wuming."

"That child was just unlucky. He's only alive because someone else took the blame for him. The Nameless One is probably..."

"Value yourself and cherish life. Preserving life is the highest priority, losing life is next, and death is the least desirable."

"Isn't it good to be alive?"

Wei Gongzi Mou shook his head, wearing a hemp robe and old wooden clogs, and left Niushou Village.

Cao Ze remained silent. As the only remaining descendant of the Jiang royal family, anyone with a discerning eye could guess that the bronze box, which the Qi royal family did not possess, must be in Wuming's hands.

However, he knew Wuming's temperament and that he would never take the bronze box from Lu's hands.

This is why Wei Gongzi Mou said that Wuming was protecting Lu from disaster.

A bronze treasure box is enough to tempt most people in the martial arts world.

A grandmaster of swordsmanship is not enough to deter these people.

After watching Wei Mou leave, Cao Ze mounted Ta Xue and headed towards Handan.

Everyone else has left, so there seems to be no need for him to stay.

He led Taxue along the streets of Handan, observing the everyday life and pondering the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions and the bronze treasure box.

Still completely baffled, there are many clues and speculations, but none of them can be confirmed.

Could it be that the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Bronze Treasure Box is really related to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady?

Cao Ze stopped outside Feixue Pavilion.

The originally elegant pavilion, upon closer inspection, appears to have gained a touch of charm after being whitened by the snow.

He tied up Ta Xue and went inside.

Unexpectedly, there were already many people on the first floor.
