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

Cao Ze cursed under his breath, "That damned Yan Ri, he's really good at causing trouble."

Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie tried to help Cao Ze several times, but were all repelled by Xuan Jian's sword.

Having experienced the pressure the uncle had just faced, Cao Ze couldn't help but admire how the uncle could remain so composed.

"Go to hell!"

Xuan Jian let out a voice that seemed to pierce the sun, the resentment in which even the Six Sword Slaves, who were ruthless killers, felt a chill run down their spines.

"Wow—"

A soaring sword intent arose out of nowhere, and the piercing sword cry seemed to shatter one's ears.

The pink sword energy, imbued with Jing Ni's rage, erupted forth.

Even someone as powerful as Xuan Jian instinctively dodged Jing Ni's enraged killing move.

Dressed in white, her skirt fluttering in the breeze, her face was cool and aloof, exuding a commanding presence.

Jing Ni, sparing no effort, shook off Yan Ling Ji and arrived at top speed.

Cao Ze was greatly impressed; his wife was incredibly fast, arriving three minutes early.

But that sword strike was truly beautiful.

"Jing Ni!"

Zhen Gang shouted.

The six sword slaves instantly surrounded Jing Ni.

Their mission, besides assassinating Cao Ze, was to deal with the traitor Jing Ni.

The one who answered Zhen Gang had no nonsense, only a chilling pink sword aura that filled the surrounding world, surpassing even Xuan Jian's violent blood-red sword aura.

At this moment, the moonlight was as white as frost and as white as snow, the beauty was as lovely as jade and the sword as splendid as a rainbow.

……

Chapter 350 Let's start with a foot massage

A slender figure, bright red and sparkling, landed beside Cao Ze like a shooting star.

She stood barefoot, the nail polish on her ten toes like rubies, gleaming in the moonlight.

Yan Lingji's incomparably beautiful face was filled with worry. "Are you alright?"

The Fire Meteor was a signal agreed upon by Cao Ze and the others, and it would not be used lightly unless they encountered an insurmountable expert.

Cao Ze flexed his wrists and laughed, "Thank goodness, if it had been any later, I would have been injured."

He was facing not only Xuan Jian, but also the Six Sword Slaves.

Under heaven, perhaps only the Yin-Yang School's Donghuang Taiyi, the Confucian School's Xunzi, and the Daoist School's Beimingzi could handle this group of assassins with ease.

Otherwise, even the nameless sword saint, or the still-alive Three-Handed Sword Demon, might perish against these top assassins of the Net.

Yan Lingji slightly raised her head and pulled out two fire spirit hairpins from her hair.

"What's next?"

Cao Ze glanced at Jing Ni, who was confronting the Six Sword Slaves and Xuan Jian, and said in a deep voice, "Attack together!"

He thought he was only facing Xuan Jian, but unexpectedly, the Six Sword Slaves appeared out of nowhere, seemingly there to hunt him and Jing Ni down in Xinzheng.

However, knowing that Ying Zheng had arrived in Xinzheng, he knew very well that things were not that simple.

Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie didn't bother to ask Cao Ze why Jing Ni, the Heavenly Assassin who had once defected from Luo Wang, would come to save him.

The two, along with Cao Zeyan and Ling Ji, came behind Jing Ni and confronted Xuan Jian and the Six Sword Slaves.

The difference in strength on the surface is not significant, but if the time is prolonged and the royal guards arrive, they might be able to wipe them all out.

At this moment, Xuan Jian, who had just clashed with Jing Ni, temporarily regained his senses, and Yan Ri's remnant soul was once again contained within his body by Xuan Jian using the power of the Eight Linglong.

The leader of the Six Sword Slaves, Zhen Gang, said in a low voice, "Xuan Jian, leave for now."

They are assassins, their purpose is to complete missions, like vipers lurking in the shadows, not like warriors who stay behind to fight.

Moreover, what's even more fatal is that the intelligence was wrong. Jing Ni is not still the half-step Grandmaster she used to be, but has already broken through to the Grandmaster level. She is not a pseudo-Grandmaster like Xuan Jian, who has strength but no real realm to speak of.

Furthermore, with Cao Ze and the disciples of Guigu behind Jing Ni, if they are not careful, they and Xuan Jian will all perish here.

Xuan Jian's expression was gloomy as he gave Cao Ze and Jing Ni a deep look.

If it weren't for them, he would have already captured Gai Nie and interrogated him about the whereabouts of the King of Qin.

"go!"

The dense, blood-red sword energy, along with a large number of hidden weapons, instantly blanketed the street like falling leaves.

Jing Ni spun her Jing Ni sword, and the Hunyuan Tai Chi sword intent appeared around her, blocking most of the attacks.

Lightning crackled around Cao Ze, who seemed intent on giving chase.

After all, the Six Sword Slaves came for him, and with Yan Ri, who could switch places with Xuan Jian at any time, his treatment was even better than that of Ying Zheng.

But Gai Nie's words dispelled his idea of ​​pursuing him.

"Gentlemen, I have important matters to attend to and must take my leave now! Please forgive me."

Gai Nie bowed solemnly to Cao Ze, Jing Ni, and the others, nodded slightly to Wei Zhuang alone with an apologetic look in his eyes, and then left.

Aside from Cao Ze, who knew why Gai Nie was in such a hurry, everyone else reacted differently to Gai Nie's sudden departure.

Yan Lingji pouted: "What kind of person is this, leaving so easily?"

Dense, heavy footsteps approached from afar, and hundreds of royal guards halted ahead.

Wei Zhuang harbored some resentment towards his senior brother for leaving without saying goodbye, but his pride prevented him from speaking out.

He glanced deeply at Jing Ni and Yan Ling Ji, who were accompanying Cao Ze, and left without saying a word, leading the royal guards away.

They neither asked Cao Ze and the others who they were, why they were there, nor what Cao Ze's purpose was, or why he was hiding it from them.

This is something he learned from Han Fei.

A graceful figure in purple stood quietly on the high place, as dreamlike as an elf under the moonlight.

The woman in purple held her chest with both hands, her purple eyes filled with a hint of doubt and confusion.

She recognized who the women around Cao Ze were, but it was precisely because she recognized them that she felt puzzled.

Did she arrive too late and miss something?

After Wei Zhuang left, Zi Nu leaped down from a high place and landed in front of Cao Ze and the other two.

"Do you need to come to Zilan Pavilion for treatment?"

The gentle and intellectual voice of the older sister made Cao Ze feel both comfortable and helpless.

He knew Zi Nu would definitely come. Setting fire to a meteor in Xinzheng in the middle of the night was something anyone who wasn't deaf or blind could see.

Jingni stood beside Cao Ze with a cold expression, holding her sword, seemingly oblivious to the tender feelings in Zi Nu's words.

She knew Zi Nu, knew who Zi Nu was, and also knew that there was an ambiguous relationship between Cao Ze and Zi Nu.

Yan Lingji doesn't have the same magnanimity as Jing Ni; she can't resist being jealous.

"No need, we have a place to stay."

Zi Nu smiled gently, her smile tender and charming.

She looked at Cao Ze, a mysterious smile playing on her deep purple eyes: "Alright, I'm here now. I'll be waiting for you at Zilan Pavilion."

After saying this, Zi Nu gracefully walked away from the street and disappeared into the darkness.

Cao Ze sighed and sheathed the Zhanlu sword.

Zhao Gao's six sword slaves are despicable. If it weren't for these six sword slaves, Xuan Jian wouldn't have needed to summon Jing Ni at all.

If Zhao Gao doesn't send those two stunning beauties to warm his bed later, he'll definitely have a good chat with Zhao Gao.

Yan Lingji smiled and put her arm around Cao Ze's shoulder. "Master, shouldn't we go home now?"

Cao Ze noticed that Yan Lingji wasn't wearing boots and had run barefoot, clearly indicating that she had arrived in a hurry.

He hooked one arm around Yan Lingji's fair and supple neck, placed the other hand on the back of her legs, and with a slight effort, lifted Yan Lingji up amidst her silvery laughter.

"go home."

……

When Cao Ze returned to the courtyard, he found that there was no one there.

Jingni took out a bamboo flute from somewhere, blew it hard, and the sound was not loud, but it traveled a great distance.

Before long, Li Wu rushed in, carrying the crying Xiao Yan'er, and jumped over the wall.

"Jingni, feed her quickly!"

Jingni's usually placid face showed a look of panic. She hurriedly took Xiaoyan'er from Liwu's hands and ran into the house without looking back.

Li Wu called out, "Wait for me!"

In the blink of an eye, only Cao Ze and Yan Lingji remained in the courtyard, bewildered in the night wind.

"This……"

Yan Lingji gave a coquettish snort, "What's this? Put me down now, how long are you going to keep carrying me?"

Cao Ze chuckled and gently squeezed Yan Lingji's delicate buttocks, causing Yan Lingji to roll her eyes. "If you can't resist, go inside. Don't touch me like that."

Cao Ze, always quick to agree with others, carried Yan Lingji directly to the side room.

Yan Lingji couldn't help but laugh out loud, her eyes captivating enough to arouse any normal man.

She slightly lifted her delicate feet, the soles of which were covered in dust and looked dirty.

She smiled and lifted her long leg, placing it on Cao Ze's lap. Her eyes were alluring, and her voice held a seductive undertone, "Help me wash up first~"

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "Okay."

He fetched a basin of clean water from outside.

Yan Lingji leaned back slightly, her jade arms supporting her on the couch, revealing a pair of exquisite and delicate feet placed in a wooden basin.
