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

Wei Zhuang paused, then coldly mocked Han Fei: "Confucius said, 'Rotten wood cannot be carved, nor can a wall of dung be plastered!'"

Han Fei succinctly replied, "I understand, he's hopeless."

Wei Zhuang gripped the Shark Tooth Sword and vanished in a flash.

He didn't want to stay by Han Fei's side for a moment, but he also gave up the matter of secretly helping Han Yu kill the Crown Prince.

Cao Ze emerged from the backyard of the Crown Prince's residence with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Bai Feng and Han Qiancheng, who were chasing each other on the roof, and said to Han Fei, who was panting, "So slow?"

Han Fei said irritably, "Wasn't it all because I was waiting for you? Where have you been?"

Cao Ze replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, we're here to negotiate with Tianze."

Han Fei nearly collapsed.

Why didn't you tell me?

Cao Ze declared confidently, "I forgot!"

Han Fei was so angry he wanted to jump up and down, but he held back. Who told him to have such an unlucky brother-in-law?

"Where is the Crown Prince?"

Cao Ze said, "They were moved away when you stormed into the Crown Prince's residence."

Han Fei nearly went berserk with anger. "Is this how you help me? Why didn't you stop me?"

Cao Ze replied matter-of-factly, "You said you wanted the Crown Prince to live, so if I take action, wouldn't that force Tianze to kill the Crown Prince?"

Han Fei suddenly sighed and said, "Alright, Brother Cao, stop playing tricks on me. I'm begging you, okay?"

If he still can't see that Cao Ze is teasing him, then he might as well commit suicide by hitting his head against a wall.

Cao Ze said solemnly, "Tianze has now obtained a crucial clue about the Baiyue treasure, and I want it."

Han Fei frowned. "He was imprisoned for so long, how did he get the clues in just a few days?"

"The Baiyue royal family to which Tianze belongs is suspected to be the descendants of the royal family of the Zheng Kingdom, which you destroyed, and the Baiyue people."

Han Fei sighed softly, "Alright, I understand."

"It's basically impossible to get any clues from Tianze, but we can have him take us to the location of the Baiyue treasure, as long as he still wants it."

Han Fei offered his advice.

Cao Ze nodded slightly. "That's fine too."

Han Fei rubbed his hands together, "Then the Crown Prince..."

“Tianze has a stronghold outside the city, and coincidentally, someone I know knows about it.”

Han Fei's heart skipped a beat: "Is it that Baiyue woman? What is her relationship with Tianze and the others?"

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "Brother Han, aren't you very good at guessing? Go ahead and guess."

After saying that, Cao Ze slowly left the Crown Prince's residence with his hands behind his back.

Han Fei fell into deep thought. Could it be that Cao Ze and Tian Ze had some kind of cooperation?

Since both their names contain the character "Ze," could they be brothers who have been separated for many years?

Han Fei's thoughts wandered, unable to figure out what Cao Ze was up to.

It seems he wanted more than just Tianze to help him find the Baiyue treasure.

Han Fei couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and found someone to dispose of the corpses in the Crown Prince's residence.

Wei Zhuang returned quickly, "They escaped through the secret passage, they must have left the city."

"Yes, I know," Han Fei said, deep in thought.

"You know?" Wei Zhuang asked, somewhat displeased.

"Brother Cao told me," Han Fei replied casually, "We'll go outside the city tomorrow."

Wei Zhuang barely suppressed the urge to beat Han Fei and said with a stern face, "Are you playing me again?"

Han Fei felt a chill and instantly sobered up, chuckling awkwardly, "How could that be? Brother Wei Zhuang and I..."

"Hmph!" Wei Zhuang turned and left. His pride wouldn't allow him to be played like this and stay to suffer humiliation.

Han Fei gave a helpless, bitter smile. He really had no intention of joining Cao Ze in playing tricks on Wei Zhuang.

Did he accidentally get on Cao Ze's pirate ship?

In the General's Mansion, several coral-shaped bronze lamps burned silently.

Mo Ya knelt on one knee: "General, the Crown Prince has been moved by thieves?"

"What?" Ji Wuye stood up. "Where have we moved to?"

"Outside the city, the exact location is still unknown, but city guards have been dispatched to search."

Bai Yifei swirled his wine glass without saying a word.

Ji Wuye said, "Lord Marquis, is this the outcome you promised?"

Faced with Ji Wuye's questioning, Bai Yifei said calmly, "Tianze has become a mad dog. Either cure him or kill him."

Ji Wuye's expression was grim. "Then we'll use the antidote to exchange for it!"

For him, Tianze's life or death was irrelevant; as long as the Crown Prince lived, his future power was guaranteed.

Bai Yifei scoffed, "General, do you really think that if you give Tianze the antidote, he will let the Crown Prince go?"

"Back then, Korea forced Baiyue to depose Tianze from his position as crown prince. Now that Tianze has the opportunity, how could he not seek revenge just because of the antidote?"

Ji Wuye took a deep breath.

I thought Bai Yifei's suggestion to release Tianze was to tear apart Zilanxuan and eliminate their biggest threat.

It now seems that Bai Yifei had long anticipated that Tianze would kidnap the Crown Prince in order to achieve his goal of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

It's too late for regrets now that things have come to this.

With a grim face, Ji Wuye ordered, "Mo Ya, take half of the guards and elite cavalry from the manor and leave the city tonight. No matter what, you must rescue the Crown Prince!"

"Also, summon Cao Ze to see me immediately!"

"Yes!"

The same scene took place at the Fourth Prince's residence.

Han Yu stood with his hands behind his back, admiring the moonlight over the lotus pond.

"The night view is nice tonight."

Han Qiancheng bowed and clasped his hands, saying, "Godfather, I have failed in my duties and request punishment."

"What punishment?" Han Yu said gently, "You select some trustworthy retainers and leave the city tonight. No matter the outcome, do not let our elder brother fall into Ji Wuye's hands."

Han Qiancheng respectfully replied, "He is my godfather."

Cao Ze returned to the courtyard and pulled Yan Lingji, who had just fallen asleep, up.

"What are you doing?" Yan Lingji asked sleepily, yawning.

"Tianze has taken the Crown Prince hostage and escaped."

"What does this have to do with us?" Yan Lingji grabbed Cao Ze's arm, her beautiful eyes half-closed as she smiled seductively, "Come on, let's sleep together."

Yan Lingji was only wearing a bodice, and large expanses of her snow-white skin were as clear and flawless as jade. Under the moonlight shining through the window, it shone with a faint jade-like glow, hazy yet pure and beautiful.

Cao Ze swallowed hard. This little vixen really knows how to flirt; every smile and frown is captivating.

The key is that she is so exquisitely beautiful, like a rare jade sculpted by heaven, like the Fire Girl figurine that he once privately commissioned, which can be held in one hand.

Coupled with those slightly seductive, slightly dreamy, azure eyes, he couldn't help but have a wicked thought: to take advantage of her and ruin her.

Chapter 303 Come on~ Let's have some fun~

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and a somber atmosphere pervaded the city of Xinzheng, where city guards clad in fine armor were everywhere.

In the courtyard, Yan Lingji seemed to sense Cao Ze's interest, and a teasing smile appeared on her lips.

Come on~

The sound must have come from Yan Lingji's tongue, which had been slightly rotated in her mouth before being gently exhaled.

Unlike usual, it was a strange tone.

Like glistening water droplets falling on the heart, they instinctively create ripples in one's soul.

Cao Ze gazed at Yan Lingji's beautiful face, her smile filled with endless allure. It seemed as if she were the home of his soul, making him unable to resist reaching out to embrace the delicate and charming woman before him.

Yan Lingji's dreamlike eyes, originally azure blue, are now veiled with a layer of ethereal crimson.

Seeing that Cao Ze was gradually becoming infatuated with her, her smile widened, and she parted her lips slightly, her full and delicate lips uttering that peculiar tone as they closed.

Come on~ Let's have some fun~

Her soft, fair arms encircled Cao Ze's neck, as if Cao Ze could have a passionate night with her here if he so desired.

Cao Ze gently inhaled the faint fragrance emanating from Yan Lingji's body. It was different from the natural fragrance of Jing Ni and Zi Nu, but rather the unique herbal scent of Baiyue women.

"The Supreme Stars respond without ceasing. They exorcise evil spirits, bind demons, protect life, and safeguard the body..."

Cao Ze recited the Purification Mantra, one of the eight great Taoist incantations, to break the Fire Charm Technique that Yan Lingji used to bewitch him.

Yan Lingji released her arms from Cao Ze's neck and sat angrily on the couch, hugging her heaving chest.

"This is so boring!"

Cao Ze snorted, "You really know how to play games, using fire charm to seduce me."

Yan Lingji proudly raised her smooth chin, "So tell me if you've thought about it or not?"

Cao Ze surrendered immediately, "Okay, you're good."

"But not tonight. Let's choose a fine day and time to let you experience the power of your master!"

He didn't want to hastily ruin Yan Lingji's life; good food requires patience to appreciate its myriad flavors.

Yan Lingji gave Cao Ze a disdainful look. "Then why don't you get out?"

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "I'll need you to take me to find Tianze outside the city tomorrow."
