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

"Oh……"

Nongyu followed her sister Zinu back to Zilan Residence obediently.

Cao Ze did not leave Feixue Pavilion.

It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but that he was blocked by Li Ji.

"Sir, please don't leave yet, okay? Li Ji has something she wants to say to you."

"Li Ji said softly, her expression carrying a hint of sorrow," she said.

Cao Ze nodded slightly. "Okay."

He sat back down.

After directing the maids to clean up the leftover food on the table in the room, Li Ji carried a jar of wine and sat down opposite Cao Ze.

Cao Ze watched as Li Ji replaced the small jade wine bowl on the table with a larger bronze wine cup, and he couldn't help but wonder what Li Ji was thinking.

He casually asked, "Would you like me to have a few drinks with you?"

Li Ji pursed her rosy lips. "It's not that I want you to accompany me, sir. It's that I want to express my gratitude to you for helping me become Ya Fei's apprentice."

This was the reason she racked her brains to come up with.

Cao Ze did not expose Li Ji's clumsy excuse. Now that the war between Qin and Wei is drawing ever closer, Li Ji will probably suffer for a long time.

Slightly drunk, he asked, "Where are Xue Nu and Princess Ya Fei? We could have a few drinks together."

Li Ji's beautiful eyes were half-closed, and she said in an enigmatic tone, "Sister Ya Fei and Xue Nu didn't sleep all night and are still resting now."

Oh, so you stayed up all night again...

Cao Ze found it somewhat amusing; it was exactly like when he was in junior high school, huddled in bed all night reading novels.

He watched as Li Ji began pouring the wine, took a sip, and noticed a slightly spicy aroma; it was definitely strong liquor.

"Can you drink this?"

He roughly guessed that Liji had realized something was wrong with the previous deception and wanted to get him drunk, knock him out, and then extract information from him.

But he had practiced his drinking skills with Jing Ke, so drinking a five-jin jar of strong liquor was a piece of cake for him. Getting him drunk would be quite difficult.

All he could say was that the little girl was too naive.

Furthermore, what you vomit after drinking isn't necessarily the truth.

He planned to turn the tables and keep Li Ji calm.

After everything has settled down, then you can comfort the girl.

Li Ji tilted her head back and drank a glass of strong liquor, as if venting her frustrations.

"Grandpa doesn't like tea, he only likes alcohol. I drank a little with him when I was a child."

Cao Ze looked at Li Ji, who was drinking first as a sign of respect, smiled faintly, and drank a cup as well.

"Then you must have a high alcohol tolerance, right?"

Li Ji drank quickly and was already somewhat tipsy. "I don't know. I've never been drunk before, and I don't know how much I can drink."

Cao Ze watched as Li Ji refilled her glass of strong liquor. "Don't drink so fast, you'll get drunk easily."

Li Ji exhaled a delicate fragrance of orchids mixed with the smell of wine, her small face extremely rosy.

"It's better if he's drunk..."

She downed it in one gulp again.

Cao Ze's lips twitched slightly. "Are we that close?"

But the girl downed it in one gulp, so as a man, I naturally couldn't be coy.

Cao Ze had no choice but to drink it all in one gulp, just to keep Li Ji company and help her forget her troubles.

"Again."

Li Ji refilled her glass with strong liquor.

Looking at Li Ji, who was only drunk and not passing out, Cao Ze suddenly had a bad feeling.

"drink!"

Half-drunk, Li Ji seemed to have abandoned all her girlish reserve at this moment.

His tone was bold and unrestrained, his movements were bold and unrestrained, and he was dashing and heroic.

Cao Ze thought to himself, "It seems this girl has a lot on her mind."

He risked his life to accompany a gentleman—oh no, I mean, he risked his life to accompany a girl.

Half an incense stick's time passed in the blink of an eye.

Cao Ze's breathing began to quicken.

He glanced at the five jars of strong liquor on the ground; if converted to liquid, that would amount to twenty-five jin of liquor.

"Drink, come on, keep drinking..."

Li Ji let out a soft hiccup, her eyes slightly blurry with drunkenness.

Cao Ze's lips twitched slightly. No wonder Li Ji and Jing Ke were a perfect match in the original novel; they were both experts in a wide range of subjects.

His current situation is not much better than Li Ji's; his head is spinning, and it's difficult for him to be rational and calm.

You should know that he had drunk wine with Zi Nu Nong Yu earlier.

Li Ji's face flushed red, and her originally clear and beautiful eyes became burning.

"Sir, why aren't you drinking anymore? Is it too much for you?"

Cao Ze, drunk and provoked by Li Ji, completely lost his composure and rationality, which he had been trying so hard to maintain.

"Nonsense! Drink! I'll drink you under the table!"

Li Ji smiled foolishly and challenged Cao Ze to another drinking contest.

She had previously told Cao Ze that she had never been drunk and didn't know her alcohol tolerance, which was the truth.

Because she's the only one who can get others drunk; no one has ever gotten her drunk.

After downing three more large cups of wine, Cao Ze felt dizzy and disoriented.

"Li Ji, you hiccup~"

Cao Ze caught his breath and said drunkenly, "It seems you've mastered the Shadow Clone Technique..."

Li Ji wasn't much better off, but compared to Cao Ze, she was able to control her actions to some extent and still had a bit of rationality, which prevented her from forgetting her purpose in getting Cao Ze drunk.

She took the initiative to move closer to Cao Ze, pressing her body against his.

"Sir, are you drunk?"

"Nonsense! I'm not drunk, keep drinking!"

Cao Ze wrapped his arms around Li Ji and, once again, drank the entire meal with deep emotion.

Li Ji, not to be outdone, also drank a glass.

"Sir, do you think the Zhao Kingdom will send troops?"

Cao Ze had very little wariness of Li Ji.

"Send troops? Why send troops if there's nothing wrong?"

Li Ji stared blankly at Cao Ze with her almond-shaped eyes, which were full of intoxication.

"Of course..."

She struggled to stay focused and racked her brains before saying, "The State of Zhao sent troops to aid the State of Wei."

Cao Ze looked at the girl's rosy face and held her soft body in his arms.

He exhaled a breath reeking of alcohol, chuckled, and said, "Want to know? I won't tell you."

Without thinking, Li Ji punched Cao Ze a few times with her small fists.

"Quickly, tell me, or you'll regret it!"

"Hehe, it's good-looking? Show me some good-looking ones and I'll tell you..."

Li Ji was already drunk, so at this point she didn't care about being reserved anymore.

She ripped open her clothes, revealing a light red bodice with purple trim.

She puffed out her chest, put her arms around Cao Ze's shoulders, shook him, and said loudly, "See? Isn't it beautiful?"

Cao Ze, who was being shaken by Li Ji, was somewhat dazed at this moment.

I could vaguely see two young rabbits, rolling around and fighting under their bibs.

"nice……"

Cao Ze suddenly felt a little suffocated.

He was pinned down by Li Ji.

Before he could do anything to breathe in the fresh air, Li Ji grabbed his head.

"I don't want to lose Grandpa, I don't want Grandpa to die, I don't want to, I really don't want to..."

Intoxication, dizziness, snow-white skin, softness, fragrance, murmurs, sobs...

All of these things, through chemical reactions, transform into the most primitive form of stimulant.

Oh no, that girl Li Ji not only wanted to get information out of him, she also wanted to...

Cao Ze's brief moment of clarity was quickly overwhelmed by a gentle warmth mixed with the smell of alcohol.

It seems he's about to lose his virginity after drinking...

Chapter 197 Catching the Cat

Beside the table, seven or eight empty wine jars lay scattered about.

The strong aroma of wine and the wisps of incense were mixed with a violent upheaval.
