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

Guo Kai glanced in the direction of Chunqing Palace. More than an hour had passed since he met Zhao Qian.

With such competence, it's no wonder that Empress Dowager was so infatuated with Cao Ze.

He lowered his voice and said, "Puyang has already been breached by the Qin army. It won't be long before the Qin army attacks our Great Zhao. You should understand that, sir."

Cao Ze nodded and said, "Understood."

Guo Kai smiled and said, "At that time, as a descendant of military strategists, you will surely be highly valued by the King."

Cao Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Is that so? Then I'll have to thank the Prime Minister."

Han Cang had tattled on him several times.

Whenever Zhao Yan thought of him and was about to give him an official position, Guo Kai would jump out and, under the pretext of doing it for his own good, prevent him from entering the Zhao court.

But now, Guo Kai tells himself that when the war comes, he will be highly valued by Zhao Yan.

Even a fool could tell that Guo Kai was up to no good.

He knew all too well how Li Mu had died.

Guo Kai may not be good at other things, but his proficiency in backstabbing is absolutely top-notch.

Cao Ze watched Guo Kai leave, pondered for a moment, then walked to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

He is currently outnumbered and needs to make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

The Mohists were undoubtedly one of the forces he should befriend.

Zuixianlou and Fengxiange.

Cao Ze entered the room, led by a disciple of the Mohist school.

Ok?

Cao Ze saw Xue Nu Li Ji sitting together chatting and laughing with Duanmu Rong.

After a moment's thought, I almost forgot that the three women all knew each other.

Luckily, I didn't bring Jingni with me, otherwise...

Cao Ze breathed a sigh of relief, feeling extremely fortunate.

When Jing Ke saw Cao Ze enter, he poured out his grievances.

"Brother, that old bastard Kuang Xiu is such a jerk! I didn't mean it, but he still took his anger out on me!"

Cao Ze subtly stepped aside from Jing Ke, worried that Kuang Xiu might suddenly attack and affect him.

Where is Master Kuang Xiu?

Jing Ke said bitterly, "He said he wanted to sever ties with me and go to Xianyang in Qin. He left yesterday."

Cao Ze understood; this person had lost all will to live and was too ashamed to stay in Handan any longer.

He reassured Jing Ke, "It's alright. When you meet Master Kuang Xiu, I'll put in a good word for you."

If all goes well, he should be in Xianyang soon.

Hmm, I'll ask Jing Ke to go there sometime and try to get him to unlock the achievement of Master Kuang Xiu's Night Flight to Xianyang.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

A disciple of the Mohist school came in to report that Commander Qin Wuyang and Han Shen had led the disciples who participated in the battle of Puyang to the outskirts of Handan.

Six-Fingered Black Knight stood up.

"It's time to go." He smiled at Cao Ze and said, "The Mo family welcomes you as a guest, young friend."

Cao Ze said, "I have long heard that the Mo family's mechanical city is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, and I have long yearned to visit it. I will definitely go when I have time."

He hadn't forgotten that the Illusionary Sound Box was hidden within the Mo family's Mechanized City, and it had a very close connection with the Bronze Box.

He suspects that the Illusionary Sound Box is likely one of the keys to opening the Bronze Box.

Duanmu Rong whispered to Xue Nu and Li Ji, "Jinghu Medical Clinic is located in Taihu Lake."

The Snow Maiden chuckled, "Sister Rong, if I have the chance, I will definitely go."

Li Ji said, "Me too."

Cao Ze and Xue Nu Li Ji bid farewell to the Mo family.

He watched the Six-Fingered Black Knight piloting the mechanical Vermilion Bird, filled with envy.

This is the irresistible allure of being able to fly nationwide.

He inquired with Old Man Ban and learned that this thing was created by Mozi, and no one can make it anymore.

It doesn't seem to be a technical problem, but rather a lack of certain key materials.

This dissuaded him from having the Mo family build him a private jet.

After Duanmu Rong left, Li Ji and Xue Nu were noticeably depressed.

Cao Ze then invited the two women to go shopping in Handan.

Buy whatever is good to eat or wear.

Seeing Li Ji and Xue Nu cheer up again, he sighed inwardly, "Some things really don't discriminate by time. The netizens are right, there are 70 ways to win a girl's heart, one is shopping, and the other 69 are... well, you're absolutely right!"

At the hour of Wei (1-3 PM), Cao Ze sent Xue Nu and Li Ji back to Fei Xue Ge. Instead of returning to Qing Ping Ju, he went to the Hundred Schools Forum.

I've already agreed to start the series in May, and I've been wasting a month already. If I don't update soon, I'm afraid I'll get some death threats.

"The gentleman is here! Mr. Cao Ze is here!"

"Get out of the way, I want a front-row seat!"

"Damn it! Brother, let's talk this out. Put the knife away first."

……

Around the Lecture Room, a near-outbreak of violence almost erupted.

Cao Ze never expected that his appearance would cause such a commotion.

Looking at this group of men with swords and knives hanging from their sides, Cao Ze suddenly wondered if he would be chopped into mincemeat if he turned and ran now...

Wearing a long purple dress, Zi Nu stood elegantly not far away, watching Cao Ze, who was taking the stage at the Hundred Schools Forum, with a smile on her lips.

Nongyu, Hongyu, and Caidie accompanied Zinu.

"I didn't expect Mr. Cao Ze to be so popular."

Xiao Hongyu's bright eyes looked at Cao Ze on the podium with great longing.

Dressed in simple, elegant clothes, Cai Die said demurely, "It would be wonderful if Mr. Cao Ze could come to our Zi Lan Xuan."

Zi Nu shook her head and chuckled, "That's difficult, but..."

She changed the subject, saying, "Whether or not he can come to our Zilan Pavilion depends on your performance in the next few days."

It's May now, and the grass is growing and the birds are flying.

It has been almost a month since she left South Korea.

The previously ample time became strained as Cao Ze went to Puyang.

However, she wasn't too disappointed.

She approached Cao Ze with the hope that things would turn out well.

Nongyu, dressed in a pale yellow dress and wearing light makeup, with her face bare, looked puzzled when she heard Zinu speak and asked, "Sister Zinu, how should we behave?"

Xiao Hongyu whispered, "How about we use our beauty to our advantage?"

Zi Nu raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, somewhat tempted, yet also somewhat worried.

Regarding whether or not to use a seductive tactic, they initially agreed, then disagreed, then thought it was feasible, then analyzed it as unworkable...

After going back and forth several times, nothing was finalized.

They ultimately lacked detailed information about Cao Ze's past, and when they went to the Fierce Tiger Gang to try and buy it, they were kicked out.

I later learned that the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang was the Cao brothers.

As a result, most of the information about Cao Ze came from rumors circulating in the streets.

One moment it's Cao Ze, who's lecturing on the podium now, looking every bit the teacher of a hundred schools of thought, awe-inspiring and unapproachable.

He was a playboy who frequented nightclubs and won the hearts of countless girls with his song "Three Thousand Worlds".

One moment he's a kind person helping the children who were deceived by Wuqi Caotang.

……

Nongyu glanced at Hongyu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sir is not that kind of person."

"He is a good person and often helps Xiao Ni and Xiao Wu."

Butterfly blinked and said, "Speaking of which, aren't you surprised?"

Hongyu asked, "What's so strange?"

Cai Die said, "Let's not talk about Li Wu for now. Xiao Yan'er's mother, a girl named Xiao Ni, is very strong. She fell from the sky that day and directly crushed the blue bricks in our courtyard. In the words of Sister Zi Nu, she is at least a first-class master."

Hongyu tilted her head and said, "That's true."

"But didn't that broker say that they are female martial arts practitioners who share an apartment with Mr. Cao Ze? It's normal that they are strong."

Nongyu nodded, then shook her head. A thought struck her, and she asked, "Do you know who Xiaoyan'er's father is?"

Cai Die and Xiao Hongyu shook their heads.

"I haven't heard Li Wu or Xiao Ni mention it, so I guess they might be dead."

Xiao Hongyu analyzed with a serious expression and gave a very reasonable answer.

In this era of frequent wars, there were many widows, and girls like Xiao Ni who raised their children alone were not uncommon.

Not far away, Cao Ze, who was enthusiastically telling everyone about "Journey to the West", suddenly sneezed loudly.

He muttered something, perhaps thinking of some girl, before continuing his storytelling.

Listening to her family's conversation, Zi Nu said slowly, "Let's wait and see how things develop."

She made a decision: she would not use her beauty to seduce him.
