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

Cao Ze glanced at Cheng Jiao. "You're going?"

Cheng Jiao gave an awkward smile, "I'll pass."

Cao Ze thought for a moment, then went to Jing Ni's room to find Li Wu and explained the situation.

The post station needed to verify the identity of the mail, but the mail carriers had terrible credit, the mail merchants couldn't travel far, and Rao An had no acquaintances there.

It will just be a bit of a hassle for Li Wu.

With her top-notch skills and speed, she could deliver it very quickly.

After Cao Ze finished speaking, he said, "We'll meet in Xinzheng then."

Li Wu held the envelope between her slender, jade-like fingers and teased with a smile, "You really have the nerve to ask me to deliver a love letter."

Cao Ze, thick-skinned, said, "We're all family, family."

Li Wu put the envelope away and snorted, "You really are a romantic, still worrying about your little lover even after you've left."

Cao Ze put his arm around Li Wu, gave her a kiss, and coaxed her several times.

Li Wu was overjoyed by the flattery, and with the love letter in hand, she left willingly and happily.

Father, like son.

Jingni, holding the sleeping Xiaoyan'er, watched everything clearly from the side and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Li Wu often swore in her ear that she would never let Cao Ze bring other women into the house.

But he always forgets in the blink of an eye. After being coaxed by Cao Ze a few times, he loses all sense of direction and even helps deliver messages.

She left the dance hall quickly, and she returned just as quickly.

Just when Cao Ze and Jing Ni thought Li Wu had changed her mind and didn't want to go, a real acquaintance followed behind Li Wu.

She has a slender figure, delicate features, and skin as white as snow.

Her long hair was tied up, her black strands like willow catkins, and she wore a dress as blue as the sea.

With the wooden parrot necklace adorning her slender goose neck, who else could it be but Yingge, who parted ways with her in Handan?

"Parrot Girl".

Cao Ze was somewhat surprised to encounter Ying Ge here.

Yingge never expected that she would encounter Cao Ze, who had supposedly been dead for many days, at the shady shop.

When she saw Cao Ze appear before her completely unharmed, she felt a mix of emotions.

Her long-cherished hope of escaping the darkness of night was shattered, leaving her heartbroken for a long time.

But things took an unexpected turn; unexpectedly, while staying at a shady inn on the border of Qi and Zhao, he encountered Li Wu.

After overcoming their initial surprise and exchanging ideas, Cao Ze and Ying Ge understood each other.

They were all unregistered and shady, and this shady shop was a well-known establishment in Rao'an's underworld.

It's perfectly normal for them to get together.

"Is Nightfall short of money?" Cao Ze asked.

Parrot removed his dark green cloak and took off his sword, saying, "Yes, Qi is a wealthy country with abundant salt and iron. Ji Wuye wants Emerald Tiger to open up trade routes here, and Red Owl and I have been ordered to come and investigate the situation here."

Cao Ze grunted in agreement. No wonder he could be so rich just from the jade tigers in Nanyang; it turns out he was also doing international business.

But even if you can make money, it's useless; you can be slaughtered at will by the Blood-Clad Marquis.

In this era, power still matters more than money.

The most successful in the transformation was Lao Lü, who used his unique skills to become the top leader of the seven kingdoms.

However, it's not impossible for Cao to take his place.

Parrot thought for a moment and said, "However, I heard from Mo Ya that Nightfall isn't just short of money; they seem to be plotting something else."

"Moreover, before I left Korea, Marquis Xueyi privately approached me and asked me to investigate the intelligence of Qi Xiang Hou Sheng in Qi."

Cao Ze pondered, "What should Sheng do after the investigation..."

All he knew was that Hou Sheng was the uncle of the King of Qi, and that he was greedy and avaricious. He had learned from Jing Ni that Hou Sheng was connected with Lü Buwei.

Yingge Qingyue replied simply, "I don't know."

"However, one can sense that Marquis Blood-Clad has grand plans and that he and Ji Wuye are not in a superior-subordinate relationship."

Cao Ze nodded. He knew a little about the Baiyue people from Ya Fei. The events of that year were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

Ji Wuye seized the opportunity to rise to become the Grand General of Han. Given the character of the Marquis of Blood Robe, how could such an old nobleman be willing to be subordinate to others?

Ok?

Cao Ze and Jing Ni Li Wu both looked out the window at the same time.

Jing Ni acted instantly, grabbing the guy who was lurking and eavesdropping outside the window and throwing him to the ground.

It was a man.

He wore a dark red armor with gold thread, and several flowing red feathers were inlaid on both sides of his arms, making him look quite dashing.

Coupled with a pair of slightly upturned phoenix eyes that resemble two blooming blood roses, at first glance, one might mistake her for a woman dressed in luxurious attire.

Cao Ze's lips twitched. This was an even more effeminate dead transvestite than Han Cang.

I don't know what Lord Longyang looks like, but I've heard he's even more handsome than a woman.

After thinking about it, Cao Ze decided to suppress his curiosity; he was afraid he might be turned gay...

Chapter 228 Fire-starting Princess

"Red Owl!"

Parrot suddenly stood up and recognized the eavesdropper.

It was the red owl who accompanied her on the mission, one of the four leaders of the birds.

Red Owl said grimly, "Parrot, how dare you betray the general!"

He had long seen through Yingge Moya and Bai Feng's apparent loyalty to the general.

Unlike him, whose entire being was that of a general.

Cao Ze remained silent, watching Ying Ge intently, signaling for her to provide an explanation.

With a slight frown, Yingge recounted the situation of the red owl in a few words.

Cao Ze gave Red Owl a strange look.

He knew that Ji Wuye was greedy and lustful, especially fond of beautiful women, but he had never heard that Ji Wuye had the same hobby as the King of Wei.

Parrot said with disgust, "Among our leader of all birds, he's the one who's always fawning over Ji Wuye. He's done countless cruel things to please Ji Wuye."

Cao Ze really wanted to ask Red Owl if she had anything going on with Ji Wuye.

It was a bit disgusting, though.

He thought it best to just get rid of it and let Yingge give him a token of loyalty.

The red owl realized something was wrong.

These three people are very strong, especially the woman holding the baby. She captured him with almost no chance to resist.

"Yingge, are you really going to betray the General?! Do you want to be hunted down by the Nightfall for the rest of your life?"

The red owl stared directly at the parrot, its eyelids twitching.

He has always been at odds with Mo Ya and his group, and this time he is likely to be in grave danger.

Yingge paused for a moment, caught in a dilemma.

Killing the Red Owl will not be hidden from Ji Wuye.

She couldn't help but look at Cao Ze.

Cao Ze simply smiled and put the sword that Yingge had placed on the table back into Yingge's hand, then raised his chin slightly and looked at the red owl struggling on the ground.

The meaning is obvious.

Yingge gripped the sword in her hand and took a light breath.

"I hope you can do that, sir."

Cao Ze smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I always keep my word."

With a flash of sword light, Parrot Song delivered a swift and decisive blow to Red Owl, severing its throat with a single strike.

The red owl clutched its throat, glaring at the parrot with eyes full of resentment.

He's not even a general yet, how can he die here, die at the hands of that vile woman, Yingge!

Cao Ze was very satisfied.

Parrot Song, who personally killed the Red Owl, now has no choice but to follow him down this dark path.

"Li Wu, go find the Luo Wang stronghold here and secretly issue a bounty for the assassination of Ying Ge and Hong Xiao."

Li Wu smiled lightly, put on a masked hat, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the street.

Yingge remained silent; this was the plan Cao Ze had told her about.

Using the pretext of being wanted by Luo Wang for assassination, he returned to Korea and became Cao Ze's mole in the night, turning Mo Ya and Bai Feng to defect.

Cao Ze patted Yingge's shoulder and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't be so serious, relax a little."

"After you return to Korea, tell them that Red Owl was assassinated by the Net. You should stay in Xinzheng for a while to avoid trouble."

"In the darkness of night, whether you have something to do or not, take a few extra glances at things you shouldn't see, and listen to a few extra words you shouldn't hear, understand?"

Parrot nodded slightly. The red owl had died at her hands, and she had no choice but to abandon any thought of leaving herself an escape route.

She reattached her sword, donned her cloak, and prepared to leave.

Cao Ze suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Yingge turned around in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

Cao Ze smiled and placed the "love letter" in his hand into the parrot's mouthpiece.
