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

Upon hearing this, Jing Ke became excited: "I'm not playing with you anymore, goodbye!"

He suddenly slashed diagonally with his sword, without any sword energy or killing intent, but Jueying suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Cao Ze was secretly alarmed, never expecting that Jing Ke had mastered the Heavenly Will Sword of the Sword Demon Lu Goujian to such an extent.

A single sword strike can annihilate a soul; even he must be careful.

Han Fei took a deep breath. The death of Lord Yanchun in Han was no small matter, and Yan would surely condemn Han.

Now the question is, having witnessed Cao Ze kill Yan Chun Jun, should he lock Cao Ze up in jail and subject him to torture, like the tiger bench and the red-hot iron...?

Han Fei was a little excited.

But when Cao Ze's gaze swept over him, Han Fei immediately sobered up.

This scoundrel is not human. He is not yet the Minister of Justice, so let's just pretend we didn't see him. These are all matters of state for the Yan Kingdom, and he has no right to interfere.

Han Fei quickly prepared himself mentally before hearing Cao Ze call his name.

"Brother Han, shall we have a drink together?"

Upon hearing that he was to drink, Han Fei completely forgot his ulterior motive of torturing Cao Cao.

"Okay, let's go together."

Zi Nu whispered to Xiao Hong Yu, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today, understand?"

As one of the key female assassins cultivated by Zilan Pavilion, Xiao Hongyu naturally understood the importance of the matter. "Don't worry, Sister Zinu, I won't tell Caidie and Nongyu."

Zi Nu nodded slightly, watching Cao Ze, Jing Ke, and Han Fei walk arm in arm to her place for drinks. Suddenly, she felt a headache coming on; it was all money...

Inside the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

Wei Zhuang stood solemnly on the watchtower atop the high pavilion, watching Cao Ze and the others enter, the Shark Tooth Sword in his arms humming.

A master swordsman, no less skilled than him and his senior brother.

Who is this person? Why is he arm in arm with that guy, showing no signs of being a master at all?

Wei Zhuang was intrigued. He had thought that among all the sword masters in the world, only his senior brother was a master of swordsmanship of his age, but he hadn't expected there to be another one.

Jing Ke muttered, "Brother Cao Ze, there's a master here, why don't you come out and meet him?"

As a swordsman who has achieved mastery of swordsmanship, he is most sensitive to sword intent, and he sensed the subtle provocation just now.

Zi Nu paused for a moment. Who else could be the sword master in the pavilion besides Wei Zhuang? She hadn't expected that Wei Zhuang would be discovered, but it seemed to make sense.

Cao Ze laughed and said, "He doesn't want to come out, let's ignore him and drink!"

Han Fei said nonchalantly, "That's right, that's right. We're just drinking, what do we care about anything else?"

Yan Dan remained silent, her curiosity about the expert growing.

He also used a sword, but unlike Jing Ke's sharp and outspoken personality, he believed in the swordsmanship of a sword without a sharp edge and was well-versed in the principle of concealing the sword, so he was not noticed by those in the shadows.

Inside the elegant room, Zi Nu had several jars of orchid wine served.

Smelling the aroma of the wine, Jing Ke exclaimed excitedly, "Excellent wine! Brother Cao Ze truly understands me; this Cold Dew Orchid Wine is indeed fine!"

Yan Dan remained silent, keeping to himself, focusing all his energy on what would happen a year from now.

When Ying Zheng was crowned, he couldn't fall behind him; he had to win!

Han Fei, holding his wine glass, shook his head and said meaningfully, "Good wine deserves a good glass to bring out its best flavor."

Cao Ze grinned: "Brother Han, the fine wine cup you mentioned is the Azure Coral Vase, isn't it?"

Zi Nuzhen lowered her head, suppressing her laughter. She knew that Cao Ze was going to mess with Han Fei again.

"Brother Cao understands me best," Han Fei said. "But I just made a deal with someone."

Cao Ze echoed, "It is indeed a pity."

"There's nothing to regret. I'm quite satisfied with the treasures I received in the exchange." Han Fei changed the subject and said, "However, if Miss Zi Nu could take pity on me and bring out my beloved wine cup so that I could use it one more time, I would be eternally grateful."

Seeing Han Fei taking the opportunity to demand it, Zi Nu raised her head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Ninth Young Master, that wine cup no longer belongs to me."

Han Fei sat up abruptly and asked urgently, "Where did you go?"

He took out the cup knowing that Zi Nu had obtained it, so he was confident that he could get it back later. But he never expected that the cup would leave Zi Nu's hand in less than a day.

Under Han Fei's horrified gaze, Cao Ze leisurely took out a beautifully crafted emerald green wine cup from under the tea table.

"The finest wine is poured into the vessel, and the azure sea surges with excitement. Brother Han's Azure Coral Vessel is truly excellent."

Han Fei clutched his head, "How did it end up in your hands!"

He couldn't bear to use it and had treasured it for many years. How could his wine cup, which was as precious as his heart and soul, end up in Cao Ze's hands!

A violent thing!

Zi Nu said apologetically, "Ninth Young Master, I lost the bet. I didn't know this wine cup was so important to you."

Cao Ze casually filled a large cup, "Jing Ke, come and drink!"

Jing Ke didn't have Han Fei's taste; he didn't care for fine cups when drinking, and he was happy as long as he could drink to his heart's content.

Han Fei watched as Cao Ze carelessly squandered his wine cup, and his heart ached so much he could hardly breathe.

Why aren't you drinking, Brother Han?

Han Fei gritted his teeth and drank a cup of wine in return.

Cao Ze: "Hey, I must say, using this wine glass does have a unique flavor."

Han Fei was stabbed in the heart again.

"Brother Han is unhappy?"

Han Fei almost burst into tears, "Brother Cao!"

Cao Ze was very understanding of his brother-in-law's feelings.

Just like the graphics card you're reluctant to use, which someone else uses for mining; or the bicycle you're reluctant to ride, which someone else rides hard.

"Don't worry, Brother Han, I never take what others love. I'll give it to you in a while."

Han Fei was heartbroken, and for some reason felt that his beloved girl had been defiled by his brother.

But it is still my beloved cup, even if someone else has used it in front of me.

"Thank you... Brother Cao!"

"Brother Han, you're too kind!"

Cao Ze was secretly pleased. "You always cause me trouble, otherwise I would have been all lovey-dovey with Xiao Honglian and we would have hit a home run long ago."

Chapter 281 Brother Wei Zhuang, have you ever been defeated?

Slow, deliberate footsteps echoed in the hallway.

Holding the Shark Tooth Sword, Wei Zhuang walked step by step from the third floor to the second floor, standing coldly in front of the elegant room where Cao Ze and his group were drinking, making no attempt to conceal his sword intent and fighting spirit.

For him, encountering a swordsman of equal skill and not sparring would be a great pity.

Jing Ke, who was enjoying his drink, suddenly put down his wine cup, looked towards the door of the room, his expression became serious, and then suddenly became excited.

"Om-"

The faint clang of swords could be clearly heard indoors.

Cao Ze subconsciously gripped the uneasy Zhanlu sword, glancing strangely at the tall figure standing outside the door.

Is Wei Zhuang finally about to reveal his family background?

Shouldn't he have secretly met with his brother-in-law first before showing himself?

Ok?

Cao Ze saw Jing Ke's eager expression and realized something was wrong.

The door was slowly pushed open.

Wei Zhuang ignored everyone else in the room, focusing his attention solely on the sharp-witted Jing Ke.

Han Fei swirled the jade wine cup in one hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.

It really was him! He finally couldn't resist showing up?

Yan Dan glanced sideways at the man, so aloof and cold, with such an eerie sword.

This sword... Yan Dan vaguely recognized it, and suddenly remembered an old story.

Many years ago, Xu Fuzi, a swordsmith from the Mohist school, had his parents forge a famous sword each out of a competitive spirit.

One is called "Shark Tooth," cast by Xu's father; the other is called "Broken Rainbow," cast by Xu's mother.

Because both swords were forged by Xu's father and mother out of spite, and were both fierce swords, they were not included in the famous sword manuals and are little known to the world.

If he remembered correctly, the Shark Tooth Sword was later acquired by Guigu, while the Remnant Rainbow remained with the Mo family.

Yan Dan straightened his back and watched Wei Zhuang, whose fighting spirit was bursting forth, with great interest, wondering how he compared to Xiao Ke, who had received personal instruction from the Sword Demon.

Zi Nu knew Wei Zhuang quite well, and upon seeing this scene, she knew what Wei Zhuang was planning to do.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the backyard of Zilan Pavilion is quiet and spacious, and you may wish to enjoy it."

Cao Ze, standing next to Zi Nu, laughed and said, "This is going to be good."

Han Fei stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Wei Zhuang, and said, "I still don't know this gentleman's name."

"Wei Zhuang".

After Wei Zhuang finished speaking, he turned and left, clutching the Shark Tooth Sword.

Jing Ke downed a cup of wine and laughed loudly, "With wine, friends, and rivals, how delightful!"

As he spoke, he carried a small jar of wine in one hand and strode out.

Cao Ze, Zi Nu, Han Fei, and Yan Dan went to the backyard together.

Zilan Pavilion has three back courtyards.

Cao Ze's backyard is located on the outermost side and is semi-open.

Wei Zhuang passed by the backyard where Cao Ze was.
