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

Cao Ze walked out with a beaming smile.

His sister-in-law's coy and alluring manner made him unable to resist, the only pity being that Madam Hu's younger sister, Lady Hu, was not present.

Seeing Cao Ze's radiant face, Liu Yi gave him a knowing smile and said, "Looks like Brother Cao Ze did a good job."

Cao Ze said meaningfully, "That's right."

I must say, my sister-in-law is very voluptuous and has a full figure; she's very comfortable to hold.

Liu Yi was unaware that his hat had become even greener and brighter. He adjusted his green hat and laughed, "Come on, Brother Cao Ze, let's go have a drink. I have something to tell you."

Cao Ze's heart stirred slightly, and he said, "Alright."

During the meal, Liu Yi frequently raised his glass to Cao Ze, appearing very pleased.

"My brother is a dragon among men, and we older brothers can't compare. If you ever become successful, don't forget your older brother."

Liu Yi wiped the wine stains off his beard and formally toasted Cao Ze.

Not only did Ji Wuye value Cao Ze, but Fei Cuihu also secretly spoke with him, urging him to befriend Cao Ze.

Once Cao Ze joins the Grand General, with the support of the Grand General and Emerald Tiger, he believes it's only a matter of time before Cao Ze surpasses him.

After eating and drinking his fill and replenishing the energy he had used up at his sister-in-law's and Yingge's place, Cao Ze exclaimed with great emotion, "Brother, you really flatter me. I don't deserve it."

Liu Yi's expression turned serious. "How could I not accept it! Whatever you have, brother, just take it if you want it. We're brothers, there's no need for formalities."

"Will you give me your wife or not?" Cao Ze thought to himself with a smile. "Brother Liu is truly a hero. Well then, if I ever rise to a high position, I will definitely help you climb even higher!"

Liu Yi smiled smugly; he had deliberately forced Cao Ze to make a promise.

To have risen to his position and served as Ji Wuye's watchdog, he certainly possessed all the necessary abilities.

"Haha, since you're so generous, brother, I'll return the favor. Do you still remember the great general I mentioned before?"

Cao Ze feigned surprise and asked, "Could it be that General Ji, who is hailed as the strongest general in Korea in the last hundred years?"

"Indeed! To be honest, brother, I am the General's right-hand man. It is all thanks to the General's cultivation and trust that I have my position today."

Liu Yi put down his wine glass and couldn't help but sigh.

Back then, the Bai family, together with a group of old nobles, supported Bai Yifei to rise to power, and led the Han and Chu troops in an alliance to attack Baiyue.

It was during that time that he followed a man younger than himself to participate in the great battle.

Afterwards, he secretly killed Li Kai, just as the Chu Kingdom betrayed him, and Bai Yifei suffered a great defeat.

As a result, the Bai family's plan to obtain the position of Grand General was directly declared a failure.

Meanwhile, the State of Chu mobilized 100,000 troops to destroy Han, but Ji Wuye launched a counterattack against the 100,000 Chu troops, resulting in the sudden death of the Chu commander and a great victory for Chu.

He switched allegiance to Ji Wuye without hesitation.

At that time, Ji Wuye was full of vigor and needed to spend a fortune to buy horses and cultivate his own team.

Thus, he followed Ji Wuye step by step to the position of Grand General, eventually becoming the Left Sima.

More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. He has managed to stay safe until now only because he knows how to position himself and when to be a dog.

Cao Ze paused for a moment in his hand holding the wine glass, then smiled and said, "It seems that the General must be a person who can recognize and make good use of people, in order to see your talent, brother."

If we're talking about how to be a cuckold, he thinks Liu Yi is at least in the top five.

As for those ahead of Liu Yi, they were all talented individuals and oddballs.

Liu Yi felt extremely comfortable being patted on the back by Cao Ze. "That's right! To be honest, with my abilities, being the Left Sima would be a waste of my talents. In terms of governing the country, I'm no worse than Zhang Kaidi!"

There are always people who think they're awesome, but little do they know they're actually bad at the game. It's like those guys who hand over their entire salary to their wives; either their wives are keeping gigolos, or their wives are using their money to gamble on stocks for fun... Cao Ze silently grumbled.

Governing a country and ensuring its stability is not something that can be accomplished by officials simply talking about it.

To get people to work hard and do their jobs properly, you need to balance all parties and take all aspects into consideration.

As for the workload... Ying Zheng couldn't finish processing all the official documents on bamboo slips even if he weighed 100 jin (50 kg) on ​​a large golden scale every day.

Cao Ze chimed in, "That's right, brother. You have the talent to govern the country and manage the world. It would be a waste of your talents to be a mere Left Sima."

Liu Yi shook his drunken head. "Sigh, fate is cruel. If I had been born into a family of kings and generals, I might have become a great general of a country, just like the Great General."

"Let's not talk about that for now. I have something to tell you, brother. You can think about it."

Cao Ze thought to himself, "The real show is about to begin."

"Say whatever you want, brother. There's no need for formalities between us."

Liu Yi drank another large cup of wine. "Brother, you may not know this, but the General has always admired your talent. He was just worried that you might not think much of him, so he never dared to invite you."

Cao Ze toyed with the bronze wine cup and smiled, "Really? I'm truly flattered."

Liu Yi, oblivious to the mockery in Cao Ze's tone, continued, "If you don't mind, brother, and are willing to give me face, I can introduce you to the General and guarantee you a meteoric rise in your career."

"For your wife's sake, I'll reluctantly agree..." Cao Ze pretended to be grateful and said, "Brother, your kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and I have no way to repay you."

He silently added in his heart, "I can only see you off on your way, brother. May you rise to a high position and make a fortune in the underworld. As for your wife, well, I'll take good care of her and have her bear a few more children so she can keep Nongyu company."

Seeing that Cao Ze agreed, Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and the huge weight in his heart was finally lifted.

"Haha, don't be so polite, come on, have a drink! Just wait patiently for my good news, little brother!"

Cao Ze and Liu Yi clinked glasses and then Cao Ze took his leave.

He did not return to Zilan Pavilion, but went to the small courtyard where Jingni and the others were resettled.

After Jing Ni broke through, she went into seclusion for a few more days to consolidate her realm. Judging by the time, it should be about time.

Cao Ze had just climbed over the wall when he saw Jing Ni with her back to him.

Her originally slender and graceful figure gradually became plump after giving birth to Xiaoyan'er, and even her buttocks became much larger.

Cao Ze couldn't help but take a second look before stepping forward and embracing his beautiful girlfriend.

Jing Ni's pretty face flushed slightly. After entering the Grandmaster realm, her five senses became more acute, and she could clearly sense the slightest movement within a radius of more than ten meters.

She sensed Cao Ze's intention to climb over the wall and come in.

Cao Ze gently inhaled the fragrance emanating from Jing Ni's hair and casually asked, "Where are Li Wu and the Fire-Breaking Princess?"

"Hmm... Yan Lingji wanted to buy some clothes, so Li Wu went with her."

Jingni turned around and snuggled up to Cao Ze.

Cao Ze grinned: "Is Xiao Yan asleep?"

If Xiao Yan'er wasn't asleep, Jing Ni wouldn't have come out alone to guard him.

Jingni gave a soft "hmm," already realizing what Cao Ze was about to do, and her body gradually began to heat up.

Cao Ze scooped Jing Ni up in his arms.

Because Jing Ni had been in seclusion for a long time, the two of them hadn't been intimate for almost two months.

They entered the house with perfect understanding.

Jingni gently tapped Xiaoyan'er to prevent her from being woken up by their conversation.

Cao Ze took out his spear, intending to challenge Jing Ni, who had already become a grandmaster.

Jing Ni was caught off guard and was stabbed in the body by Cao Ze.

They then continued their fierce battle for another three hundred rounds.

……

Yan Lingji pouted as she and Li Wu returned from outside.

The third escape attempt also ended in failure.

Even the traces of where she was left were erased by Li Wu.

She still doesn't understand how Li Wu discovered her little tricks.

She was already being very careful and natural.

Li Wu chuckled and said, "Little sister Yan Lingji, what do you want to do tomorrow? I'll keep you company."

If Cao Ze hadn't reminded her that Yan Lingji understood Baiyue rune symbols, she would have subconsciously overlooked what Yan Lingji was doing.

Yan Lingji snorted and said proudly, "Who needs you to accompany me? I'm going to cultivate tomorrow!"

Li Wu clicked her tongue and said, "Jing Ni has already said that there is a problem with your cultivation method."

"Well, in that man's words, you are a naturally gifted person. If you don't have the correct method of refining fire, and you cultivate in the same way as us, you will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Yan Lingji pouted slightly, "Then tell me, how should I cultivate?"

She did cultivate very slowly. At first, she thought it was because her talent was average, which is why she was only at the second-rate level. She was only able to gain a foothold in Baiyue by relying on her fire control skills.

But after listening to Cao Ze's words, it seemed that this was not the case.

She has great talent; in his words, it's already quite remarkable that she could cultivate to the second-rate level at her age.

If it weren't for some innate special ability, it wouldn't be impossible for her to reach the half-step grandmaster realm at such a young age, just like that cold woman.

Li Wu chuckled, "I don't know, but he does. Why don't you just beg him?"

Yan Lingji suddenly recalled how she had privately begged Cao Ze, "Please, dear brother, tell me," only to be righteously and sternly rejected by Cao Ze, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"It's no use begging him!"

Li Wu smiled charmingly, "You can't just ask for favors by talking..."

Yan Lingji could easily understand the hidden meaning in Li Wu's words.

She spat and said, "Let me tell you, that's absolutely impossible!"

Playing along is fine, but making her a concubine is worse than killing her!

Li Wu remained smiling, not angry at all; she was doing it on purpose.

She's not a lowly woman, so she wouldn't bother finding Cao Ze a concubine.

Having spent a long time with Yan Lingji, she knew the girl's temperament well.

On the surface, they are passionate, charming, and act freely and boldly, but these are just appearances. They are customs that have existed in the Baiyue region since ancient times. In reality, they are very conservative and still adhere to the old idea of ​​giving their first night to their lover.

Therefore, she would tease Yan Lingji from time to time, making Yan Lingji determined not to compromise and preventing Cao Ze from easily getting his way. In Cao Ze's words, it was a matter of extreme intensity.

She already had enough sisters in the backyard; she didn't want Cao Ze to bring in any more.
