Cao Ze said with righteous indignation, "I never cheat, and I believe in fairness, justice and transparency."

Xiao Hongyu giggled, "That's great!"

As she spoke, Xiao Hongyu whispered, "Actually, it's quite funny when you cheat, sir. I really like it. Why don't you just cheat on me? I can handle it."

Cao Ze rubbed Hong Yu's head and teased, "You look so honest."

Xiao Hongyu let out a soft "Ying," looked at Cao Ze with her big eyes, and said shyly, "Sir, I like you, sir."

Cao Ze's appetite was whetted, and he secretly played with Xiao Hongyu for a while before straightening his clothes and leaving.

Xiao Hongyu blushed, and the blush lingered for a long time, causing the sisters in the pavilion to laugh and secretly envy her.

When Cao Ze arrived at the Qin State post station, it was already late afternoon, and the sky was getting dark, making the setting sun on the horizon appear exceptionally fiery red.

"Stop!"

A soldier dressed in Qin-style armor stepped forward and blocked Cao Ze's path.

Cao Ze said slowly, "Please inform Envoy Li that we are meeting again as old friends."

The Qin soldier, with eyes like a hawk, stared at Cao Ze for a moment. Seeing his extraordinary demeanor and speech, he said, "Wait a moment."

Cao Ze was waiting when a familiar voice rang out from behind him.

"Oh, Brother Cao?"

Cao Ze turned around and saw Han Fei dressed in ordinary clothes, with Wei Zhuang following behind him.

He was about to say something when Han Fei gave him a wink.

Cao Ze coughed lightly, not uttering the word "Your Majesty" aloud.

"Where is Miss Zi Nu?"

Han Fei gave Cao Ze a disdainful look, thinking that even with his younger sister, he was still flirting with other women.

Things are different now. He is now the King of Han. When he has time, he will definitely have a good talk with his brother-in-law and make sure he doesn't treat his brother-in-law like a king.

"After delivering the intelligence from the Qin State post station, I returned."

Cao Ze was speechless. Xiao Hongyu was really unreliable. He would have to give her some "impulsive punishment" tonight.

Just then, the crisp sound of high heels rang out.

Zi Nu smiled charmingly, "Is my coming here presumptuous?"

Han Fei's face fell, and he asked in surprise, "Why is Miss Zi Nu here?"

Zi Nu smiled gently, "Hong Yu told me that Cao Ze came here looking for me, so I followed him."

Cao Ze was all smiles, which Han Fei saw made him look like a chrysanthemum.

Han Fei snorted and said, "Since Brother Cao is here, why don't you come in with me?"

She couldn't do all the work herself, and she also had to watch her brother-in-law indulge in debauchery with other women.

Cao Ze shrugged and said, "Alright."

He glanced around behind Han Fei and whispered, "Tianze didn't bring him, did he?"

Han Fei couldn't help but smile broadly: "Brother Cao understands me best. Tianze is of great importance and cannot be brought out casually, but I think Junior Brother will understand."

Wei Zhuang's lips curled slightly; his senior brother was no scoundrel like Han Fei.

Before long, Li Si, holding the envoy's staff, came out together with the Qin soldier.

Just as Li Si was about to speak with Cao Ze, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

"Senior Brother..." Li Si glanced around, wondering if there might be some treacherous individuals among these Qin people.

If his senior brother were to be harmed here, he would be in deep trouble.

His guiding principle is to gamble with your life when necessary and to be cautious when you need to be careful.

Han Fei smiled faintly and said, "Junior brother, won't you invite your senior brother in for a chat?"

Li Si glanced at Cao Ze, Zi Nu, and Wei Zhuang, and said after a moment's thought, "Senior brother, please."

The group arrived at the second floor of the Qin State post station.

Li Si burned incense and brewed tea with fluid, natural, and skillful movements.

The sky outside the window darkened and became somewhat gray.

Han Fei, holding his teacup, smiled and said, "Junior brother, aren't you curious why your senior brother has come here from the palace?"

Li Si said calmly, "Senior brother, don't you know your junior brother? Curiosity killed the cat. Junior brother is always curious about what he should be curious about, but he won't think too much about what he shouldn't be curious about."

Han Fei sat casually. "Junior brother, you're still the same. Why are you always so rigid? People can't always be so realistic. It's good to dream once in a while."

Li Si's expression remained calm.

"Senior brother, please excuse my presumption. I'll say it again—I care more about reality. Dreams sound beautiful, but they're very fragile. Reality is better."

Han Fei smiled brightly: "Junior brother, do you know what your biggest weakness is?"

Li Si half-closed his eyes and said in a calm and unhurried voice, "Is Senior Brother saying that I'm materialistic? Junior Brother doesn't think that's a weakness."

Han Fei shook his head: "Junior brother, you know too much. So much so that some things that could even be called advantages become disadvantages."

Li Si glanced at Cao Ze, who was whispering and laughing with Zi Nu behind a bamboo curtain not far away.

In his eyes, Cao Ze was just like his senior brother, or even worse.

"Senior brother, your incognito visit to my place is just for a lecture?"

Han Fei shook his head vigorously: "Junior brother is extremely intelligent. If I were to teach him, wouldn't I be asking for trouble? The reason I came here at night is to help you out."

Li Si raised his arms, shook his sleeves, and said calmly, "It hasn't even been two days, and Senior Brother is already getting restless?"

Han Fei shook his arm: "No, no, it's not that I can't sit still, but that I'm worried I won't be able to help my junior brother."

Li Si glanced at Wei Zhuang, who was holding the Shark Tooth Sword behind Han Fei, and secretly made some calculations.

"What does Senior Brother want to help Junior Brother with?"

Han Fei took a money bag out of his sleeve and placed it on the table.

Li Si couldn't help but smile: "Is Senior Brother trying to bribe me?"

Han Fei chuckled and said, "Junior Brother's opinion isn't entirely wrong."

He opened the gold bag, shook his hand, and poured out two gold coins.

The gold coins jingled on the table before slowly falling to the ground.

Li Si gave Han Fei a sarcastic remark, "Is Senior Brother trying to tell Junior Brother that the State of Han is dirt poor?"

Zi Nu chuckled and said to Cao Ze, "I didn't realize that Li Si and Han Fei, these two senior and junior brothers, both have such sharp tongues."

Cao Ze nodded in deep agreement, noting that Li Si and Han Fei were different from Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie.

The former focuses on verbal sparring, while the latter focuses on fencing.

Han Fei ignored Li Si's sarcasm. He had debated with his junior brother countless times at Xiaoshengxianzhuang and was already familiar with each other's rhetoric.

"Junior brother, there's no need for that. I'm not here to argue with you, but rather to play a game with you."

Li Si's brows furrowed almost tightly. "A game? What game?"

"In Brother Cao's words, it's a win-win game."

Li Si chuckled, "Senior brother is the King of Han, and junior brother is an envoy of Qin. How can we cooperate and achieve mutual benefit? Does Han possess some hidden strength that would make Qin take us seriously?"

“Junior brother, I need to correct you. It’s not that the State of Han is cooperating with the State of Qin, but rather that I am cooperating with you.”

Li Si's unease grew stronger. Could it be that his senior brother had already captured Tianze?

No, he hadn't heard any rumors in the past two days. Everything was as usual, except for the daily patrols of the city guards, who seemed to be tracking something within the city.

"What kind of cooperation?"

Han Fei smiled and said, "Don't rush, let's finish the game first."

Li Si took a light breath. "Alright, please tell me the rules of the game, senior brother."

Wei Zhuang gave a barely perceptible purse of his lips, thinking that Han Fei was being far too indecisive.

If it were him, he would have been straightforward with Li Si long ago.

Han Fei presented a gold coin to Li Si.

"Let's each show a gold coin. If they both show heads, I'll give you three." The gold coins danced effortlessly in his hands; his hands were captivating.

"If both are opposites, I'll give you a gold medal."

"If the front and back are different, you need to give me two gold coins."

Li Si held the gold coin between his fingers and said slowly, "Senior brother, there's no need to continue this game. Junior brother concedes defeat."

Han Fei was completely stunned. Was this still his competitive junior brother?

Seeing the confusion on Han Fei's face, Li Si slightly raised his chin and looked at Cao Ze, who was flirting with Zi Nu.

"Hasn't Senior Brother read Mr. Cao Ze's 'Probability Theory'?"

Han Fei: "??"

Chapter 344 Zi Nu's Shock

Zi Nu patted Cao Ze's restless hand on her waist.

"I'm talking to you. What 'Probability Theory'?"

Seeing that Li Si, Han Fei, and Wei Zhuang were all looking in his direction, Cao Ze quietly withdrew his hand.

He had already measured it; Zi Nu's waist was very slender, soft, and beautiful, belonging to the type of voluptuous beauty, the most fun and tactile of all with a slender waist.

Perhaps this is a common trait among beauties: they all have a graceful, enchanting waist.

He needs to work on his back more; if they lose in a head-on confrontation, wouldn't that tarnish his reputation?

"This 'Probability Theory'..." Cao Ze thought for a moment and realized that he had indeed taught it for a few days in Handan. He wouldn't have remembered it if Li Si hadn't brought it up.

"A subject I taught when I was lecturing in Handan,"
