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

But they don't need to now, because Cao Ze told them that they used to be assassins, but now they are ordinary people. Ordinary people would stuff poison sacs into their mouths for no reason.

What do we do when we kiss...?

Yingge's fair face was tense, her beautiful eyes fixed on Cao Ze without uttering a word.

Cao Ze continued his psychological maneuvering: "I told you, why are you so loyal to Ji Wuye? You don't even know what kind of person that old man is. I'll give you a chance, follow me, and I'll guarantee you a life of luxury!"

Li Wu, standing behind Cao Ze, couldn't help but chuckle. She'd never seen anyone try to fool someone like that before.

“Look at Li Wu, she used to hang out with Luo Wang, but she was penniless and had to rely on me for support. Look how brightly she’s smiling now.”

Li Wu's smile froze on her face. She really wanted to hit someone right now, someone named Cao Ze!

"She's from the Net?" Parrot asked, sounding surprised and uncertain.

Cao Ze said, "That's right. Otherwise, do you think the Luo Wang would be so bored as to issue a mission to monitor us in Handan?"

"See that woman with the child? She used to be a top-ranking member of the Luo Wang organization, but after meeting me, she turned over a new leaf and devoted herself to having and raising my children. Do you know why?"

Yingge had already recognized Jingni's sword; it was indeed the Jingni Sword, belonging to the top-tier assassin of the Luo Wang.

That's why her eyes couldn't help but show curiosity; it was really strange.

Cao Ze cleared his throat and said, "That's because I have the ability to protect them and ensure they are not harmed after escaping the net. That's why they are willing to follow me and have my children. Do you understand now?"

Yingge remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I cannot betray Nightfall."

Cao Ze sighed and said, "Has my eloquence deteriorated?"

The parrot remained silent.

Cao Ze thought about it and decided that he had to go to South Korea.

At that time, we will inevitably face the night.

We need to find a way to open a breach from the parrot's side first.

"You're not saying anything? Do you not want to live? If you die, your friends will be very sad, won't they?"

“I have no friends,” Parrot said stiffly, turning her face away.

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "If Mo Ya and Bai Feng heard this, wouldn't they be very upset?"

Yingge suddenly looked up and stared straight at Cao Ze.

Cao Ze said with a half-smile, "I've gathered quite a bit of information during this time. Do you want to know it?"

"What do you want to do?"

Cao Ze's smile faded, and he said seriously, "If you can do something for me, I can help you and Mo Ya and Bai Feng escape from the night, just like Jing Ni Li Wu, under my protection, and give you the freedom of the wind."

"Believe me, I can do it!"

Cao Ze now has only one goal: regardless of whether it can be achieved, he'll just spread the word first, in case Yingge takes the bait.

Yingge sneered, "Why should I believe you? If I'm not mistaken, you are currently being hunted down by the Luo Wang."

Cao Ze dismissed it, saying, "It's just a net, nothing to worry about. If we can't even handle a net, how can we help you?"

Parrot's lips curled slightly. "Help us? You'd be that kind?"

"Hehe, you're very smart. I like smart women like you."

"Really, helping you is helping you, but it's also helping myself. So, we have a mutually beneficial relationship, not an enemy relationship."

Seeing that Yingge was interested, Cao Ze laughed and said, "It's not that you don't have other ideas, nor that you are loyal to Ji Wuye, but that it's because of Mo Ya and Bai Feng in the Night White Bird."

"It is said that the Ghost Mountain Blood Pool, where hundreds of birds roam at night, is exceptionally cruel. It is truly rare that such an experience could still allow you to retain a shred of goodness. Don't you want to try to tear through the darkness and gain freedom?"

"Together with your two friends, you will gain freedom."

Yingge's heart pounded. Although she didn't know why Cao Ze knew so much about the Nightfall, she understood that she didn't have many choices.

What do you want me to do?

Cao Ze smiled with satisfaction, feeling a little more confident in his verbal skills. He just didn't know if he could win if he went head-to-head with Guiguzi's verbal skills.

"Don't worry, I won't harm you. After all, you're one of my people, and what I ask you to do is very simple."

"As long as you're alert in the dark, you can do whatever you want, like passing on intelligence, glancing at classified information, eavesdropping on conversations, or poisoning someone."

"???"

Yingge said, "I need to explain to you that I usually carry out missions outside of South Korea, and Ji Wuye rarely lets me stay in the country."

Cao Ze snapped his fingers and said, "That's simple. I'll just issue an assassination mission to Luo Wang, forcing you to stay in South Korea, right?"

Yingge and Liwu stared at Cao Ze in disbelief; this was too much...

Jing Ni remained calm. Back then, Cao Ze had whispered something in her ear late at night, saying things like, "Madam, you don't want your husband to die and the mission to fail, do you?" trying to get her to kill An Lulu.

By comparison, Yingge's treatment is already quite good.

Yingge snapped out of her reverie and hesitated, "You want me to go back and become a spy, but if this mission fails, I'll definitely be punished by Ji Wuye, very likely..."

Cao Ze said directly, "Wait, who said you failed your mission?"

Yingge fell silent, staring blankly at Cao Ze.

Cao Ze took a piece of silk and calmly wrote eight Qin Dynasty characters on it: "The two treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period are both in Qin's possession."

It was placed into the empty wooden box containing the He Shi Bi jade disc and then presented to Yingge.

"Listen to me, before you give this to Ji Wuye, tell him that Gongliang Wuqi has betrayed the general and been bribed by a man named Shen Leping from the Luo Net."

"Afterwards, Gongliang Wuqi used the news of the He Shi Bi as bait to try to ambush you, but you killed him instead. You found this mechanical wooden box in the fake prime minister's mansion."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Ji Wuye will believe that the He Shi Bi has fallen into the hands of the Luo Wang."

"I will let slip that the He Shi Bi was snatched from Shen Leping of the Luo Wang."

Yingge exclaimed in surprise, "Shen Leping of Luo Wang? It's said he's the intelligence chief of Luo Wang, how could he be so falsely accused..."

Thinking of Cao Ze being hunted down by the Luo Wang, Ying Ge remained silent. After a moment's thought, she said, "Ji Wuye did indeed instruct me that if Gongliang Wuqi harbored any disloyal intentions, I should kill him after the deed was done. In that case... Ji Wuye would certainly not blame me."

Cao Ze reached out and helped Yingge up from the ground, smiling, "Well then, it's been a pleasure doing business with you. You can leave now."

Yingge blinked her beautiful eyes slightly, "Aren't you afraid I'll just leave?"

Cao Ze laughed and said, "Are you encouraging me to add some spice to your dish?"

Yingge's lips twitched slightly as she gave Cao Ze a deep look: "No need."

"Oh, and don't forget to raid Wuqi Caotang's house tomorrow."

Yingge paused slightly, then said without turning her head, "Understood."

After saying that, Yingge quickly left Cao Ze's Qingping Residence courtyard.

After leaving the house, Yingge couldn't help but touch the large bump on the back of her head and take a deep breath.

Cao Ze's blow was truly merciless, a solid strike, showing absolutely no mercy to the woman.

After Yingge left, Liwu said with exasperation, "I even took out the medicine, why didn't you give her some before you left?"

Cao Ze yawned, put his arm around Jing Ni, and said, "There's no need."

“She’s a smart girl. As long as she sees that I have the ability to help her and Mo Ya Bai Feng escape from the darkness, she will help me on her own. Why bother with all that?”

"If I can't give her hope, it means I'm just so-so. I'll be killed by the Net before I'm killed by the Nightfall, and then there's nothing else to talk about."

"So, do you understand now?"

"Not everyone is as foolish as you, thinking that finding a high-ranking official or becoming a concubine or dancer means you can live a carefree life."

After Cao Ze finished sighing, he took Jing Ni back to the house, intending to sleep with her in his arms, leaving Li Wu alone in the courtyard.

Li Wu stomped her foot and waved her flute repeatedly, searching for enemies in the air.

She was heartbroken after Cao Ze said that to her!

She was helpless too!

Chapter 51 My Brothers Led Me to Raid Their Home

Cao Ze spent the whole morning studying the He Shi Bi jade, and didn't really do much morning exercise with Jing Ni.

The final conclusion was that this thing was of little use for cultivation.

All that talk about luck, spiritual energy, and magical treasures... it's all nonsense. It's a complete waste of his morning exercise time with Jingni.

After giving the He Shi Bi jade to Jing Ni, Cao Ze left Qingping Residence alone.

They went to the hideout of the Fierce Tiger Gang in the north of the city.

An unassuming farmhouse.

Even though he wasn't very skilled in military strategy, he could tell that this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, allowing for both advance and retreat. It was probably the territory that Li Zuoche had chosen for Lian Cheng.

Although Cao Ze had been wanting to complain that Lian Cheng, the only grandson of the dignified Lian Po, had fallen to the point of running an underground gang, he had to admit that this self-degradation and lack of ambition was probably the best strategy for Lian Cheng to protect himself in Handan.

Cao Ze found Lian Cheng and gave him the letter that Lian Po had written to him and his father.

After Lian Cheng looked at it, he stuffed it into his clothes, his expression somewhat stiff.

Cao Ze didn't ask any questions, and went straight to the point: "Brother Cheng, are you free now? Want to raid some houses?"

"Uh...confiscation of property?"

Cao Ze's sudden words left Lian Cheng with no time to think about his grandfather's predicament.

"Yes, it was a raid on their home, the kind where they robbed them of a lot of treasure, right there at Wuqi Caotang in the west of the city."

"Wuqi Caotang?"

Lian Cheng pounded his chest. "I've been wanting to get back at this old geezer for ages! Since you said so, brother, let's take him down today!"

"Little Tiger! Grab the brothers, grab your weapons, and head to the west of the city!"

Seeing that Lian Cheng was a loyal friend, Cao Ze felt at ease leaving the orphans in his care.

Lian Cheng, holding the spiked iron club handed to him by his underling, said, "Come on, brother, let's use this thing to smash that old guy's head today!"

He was well aware of the despicable things Gongsun Wuqi had been doing in private.

I wonder how many of the orphans that old man adopted were killed because they colluded with the Bear Gang.
