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

"You mean Madam Mingzhu specifically visited Cao Ze today? Is that true?"

Ji Wuye's face was cold and stern, and his voice revealed no emotion.

The man in the straw raincoat calmly replied, "Yes, General, it's a message from the palace."

"Hmph!" Ji Wuye snorted coldly. Without even thinking, he knew that Bai Yifei was behind it.

That's a clever tactic. On one hand, he secretly won over Cao Ze, and on the other hand, he wrote letters to him to lull him into a false sense of security.

The man in the straw raincoat stood motionless, seemingly unaware of the discord between Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei.

"Go and call Liu Yi over!"

"Yes!"

Mo Ya disappeared from the hall.

The man in the straw raincoat said, "If the general has nothing else to say, I will take my leave."

The jade tiger's small eyes darted around as it watched the departing man in the straw raincoat.

"General, isn't the man in the straw raincoat one of the Marquis's men?"

Ji Wuye looked at the Emerald Tiger and asked, "Who told you that?"

"This..." Emerald Tiger chuckled awkwardly, "It's just a feeling."

"Feelings?" Ji Wuye sneered. "Then you're wrong. He's not Bai Yifei's man."

"So he was one of the general's men!" Emerald Tiger exclaimed in surprise.

"It doesn't belong to anyone!" Ji Wuye snorted coldly.

The jade tiger shrank its neck, and judging from the general's expression, it seemed quite dissatisfied with the straw-clad man who was trying to please everyone.

Even now, he still doesn't know the true face of the man in the straw raincoat, or who he is that would make both the Marquis and the General tolerate his existence.

Not long after, Liu Yi, dressed in all green and wearing a green hat, walked in somewhat hastily.

"Greetings, General!"

Emerald Tiger glanced at Liu Yi, who was dressed even greener than himself, and pouted. He was clearly the Emerald Tiger.

Ji Wuye asked, "Tiger sent you to win over Cao Ze, how's that going?"

Liu Yi's face lit up with joy. "My relationship with Brother Cao Ze is very good now."

Ji Wuye smiled. "Is that so? How do you plan to recruit him to my side?"

Emerald Tiger became anxious; if Cao Ze intended to join Nightfall, he would have to show Cao Ze his goodwill as soon as possible.

Liu Yi thought for a moment, "Brother Cao Ze often stays overnight at Zilan Pavilion and has a very ambiguous relationship with the proprietress of Zilan Pavilion. He must be a person who likes beautiful women."

Yingge, who was standing with Moya and Baifeng, thought of Jingni Liwu and Yanlingji beside Cao Ze and wholeheartedly agreed with Liu Yi's opinion.

"So you, like me, enjoy playing with women!"

Ji Wuye laughed heartily, "Tiger, first pick a few female slaves from the slave market and have Liu Yi send them to Cao Ze as a greeting gift from this general."

Jade Tiger pondered and said, "General, Brother Liu Yi just said that Mr. Cao Ze and Zi Nu from Zi Lan Xuan are having an affair. As far as I know, Zi Nu is beautiful and stunning. I suppose Mr. Cao Ze doesn't fancy those female slaves."

Liu Yi nodded repeatedly: "That's right, General, Brother Cao Ze has a very discerning eye."

"Well, that makes sense."

Ji Wuye looked at the Emerald Tiger, "Tiger, what do you suggest we do?"

Jade Tiger smiled, its originally small eyes almost turning into slits.

"What does the general think of Mr. Cao Ze?"

"Of course he's an exceptional talent!"

Ji Wuye said without hesitation.

He not only admired Cao Ze's abilities and talents, but also the network of connections behind Cao Ze, which included the Confucian, Mohist, and other prominent schools of thought among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

If he could make contact with these three families, even with the Bai family as his backer and even if the Marquis was still alive, Bai Yifei could still firmly control South Korea.

"Does the general hope that Cao Ze will remain loyal to the general?"

Ji Wuye frowned: "Stop beating around the bush, just tell me!"

Emerald Tiger chuckled and pointed to Parrot Song, who was standing quietly to the side.

"General, I think you might as well let Brother Liu Yi create an opportunity to send Miss Yingge to Mr. Cao Ze's side, so that it can become a beautiful story."

Mo Ya and Bai Feng's gazes sharpened simultaneously.

Yingge was stunned on the spot, never expecting that she was going to be given away.

Ji Wuye tapped his fingers on the armrest, pondering Emerald Tiger's suggestion.

Mo Ya, who always adhered to the principle of remaining silent whenever possible, couldn't help but say, "General, this is not advisable."

"Hmm? Why not?"

Mo Ya calmed himself down and said, "Ying Ge is the leader of all birds. If Cao Ze discovers his identity, it might backfire."

"Hmm, that makes sense... Tiger, what do you say?"

"General, in your opinion, who is more valuable, Cao Ze or Ying Ge?"

Mo Ya and Bai Feng clenched their fists simultaneously, wanting to smash Emerald Tiger to death.

"Needless to say, it's Cao Ze. How can Yingge compare to Cao Ze?"

Jade Tiger laughed and said, "General, are you at ease with such a valuable person? The Marquis is keeping an eye on him too."

Ji Wuye was a person with a strong desire for control, and upon hearing Fei Cuihu's words, he had no qualms whatsoever.

"Parrot Song!"

"exist!"

"You know what to do now, right?"

Yingge pursed her lips, finding it somewhat amusing.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ze had taken precautions to allow her to return to Xinzheng, and in the blink of an eye, Ji Wuye was about to send her away, specifically to his side.

"understand!"

"Very good!" Ji Wuye said, "Liu Yi, you will assist Yingge!"

Liu Yi replied tremblingly, "It is the general."

Ji Wuye examined the fair-skinned and beautiful Yingge and thought to himself that Cao Ze had gotten a good deal.

It's true that he has a fondness for beautiful women, and he would even resort to force.

But he always adhered to one principle: he would never touch a woman who knew kung fu, no matter how beautiful she was.

He knew all too well how many people in South Korea wanted him dead.

Otherwise, he wouldn't still be wearing armor and carrying a knife at all times in the mansion.

Inside the main hall, the lights were extinguished.

On the eaves outside the hall, Bai Feng sat, Mo Ya stood, and Ying Ge gazed in the direction of Zi Lan Xuan.

Bai Feng couldn't hold back any longer: "Ying Ge, you can't go!"

This time, Mo Ya, unusually, didn't lecture Bai Feng like a "father figure," asking, "Ying Ge, why don't you try to fight for it?"

"What are you striving for? Isn't this result good enough?"

Yingge didn't mention her relationship with Cao Ze to Moya and Baifeng, lest she harm them.

She couldn't help but smile as she recalled the moment when Cao Ze was riding a horse down the street, and she shot at him, their movements perfectly synchronized.

Still laughing... Mo Ya and Bai Feng were both speechless.

Chapter 245 This place is convenient; I'm doing my best for my wife.

In the early morning, Cao Ze stretched.

It's another beautiful day.

It would be even better if Han Fei, that sickly and drunkard, weren't there.

Han Fei, like a thief, secretly drank a small cup of Cold Dew Orchid Wine.

"Ah~ that feels so good."

Cao Ze glanced at Han Fei: "Taking medicine and drinking alcohol? You think your illness is too mild."

Han Fei didn't take it to heart and laughed nonchalantly, "Drinking alcohol can improve blood circulation, dispel wind and cold, and drinking a little in moderation is good for your condition."

"Keep making things up, you're a fool. You'd be a ghost to believe a drunkard's words..." Cao Ze gave Han Fei a disdainful look.

Zhang Liang arrived as promised, carrying in a dark, murky liquid of medicine.

"Brother, please drink your medicine."

Han Fei laughed heartily: "Zifang is still the best."

Zhang Liang twitched his nose slightly and frowned, saying, "There's a smell of alcohol. Has my brother been secretly drinking again?"

Han Fei was thick-skinned and showed no embarrassment whatsoever to Cao Ze's disdainful gaze or Zhang Liang's questioning.

He quickly swallowed the bitter Chinese medicine, wiped his mouth, and said without changing his expression, "There's no smell of alcohol. Smell it again."

As he spoke, he breathed a strong medicinal smell into Zhang Liang's eyes.

Zhang Liang smiled wryly, truly at a loss for words when it came to Han Fei.

Cao Ze held his breath instantly. "I have something to do, I'll go first."

Han Fei watched Cao Ze leave, slapped his forehead, and felt extremely frustrated.

He came to Cao Ze to say that there was a clue about the "Azure Dragon" scroll in the cold palace of Zheng State.

"Alright, Zifang, come with me to the old royal palace of Zheng."

"Hmm? What are you doing over there, brother? Your illness hasn't gotten better yet, and it's cold, so it's not good for you to go out."
