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

Li Si paused slightly. "Just passing by?"

Cao Ze smiled faintly and said, "A few days ago, I attended a banquet at the invitation of Lord Changping. One of the guests was the leader of the Farmer's Clan."

When he saw the Zhu family trio arrive, he understood what Lord Changping was up to.

Lord Changping was wholeheartedly loyal to Chu, so after becoming prime minister, weakening Qin became his primary task.

Moreover, it seems that King Xiong Yuan of Chu died within these two years in history. If Lord Changping had any ambition, he would have definitely chosen to weaken the Qin state during these two years.

But here is the problem.

Although Lord Changping was the prime minister, Ying Zheng did not grant him the authority to establish his own government. Compared to Lü Buwei, Ying Zheng took away most of his power.

Therefore, Changping Jun doesn't have many opportunities, so he must use them in crucial situations.

For the Qin state at present, whether the Zheng Guo Canal can be completed smoothly is of great importance.

Let's make a bold guess.

Lord Changping not only wanted to get rid of Zheng Guo and prolong the completion time of the Zheng Guo Canal, but also wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the Zheng Guo Canal.

The Zheng Guo Canal is very large, and it would take more than a day or two to destroy it.

Does the arrival of the farmers in Jingyang indicate that Lord Changping is planning to have them secretly sabotage the area?

Cao Ze was slightly excited.

It seems that Changping Jun really intends to cause trouble on the Zheng Guo Canal before fleeing.

Should I give him a stern warning or play hard to get?

Cao Ze thought of following the infatuated woman, Moon Goddess.

I've decided to play the long game.

If Heaven wishes to destroy someone, it first makes them arrogant and then makes them go mad. I must take it slow and give Lord Changping a little taste of sweetness first.

"Brother Li, make preparations. When Zheng Guo returns to Jingyang after inspecting the Zheng Guo Canal, find a reason to lock him up."

Zheng Guo cannot die, but he also cannot stay here any longer, otherwise it will be difficult for Lord Changping to make his move.

Li Si's lips twitched. Just half a cup of tea ago, he was telling him that Zheng was innocent, and now they're about to arrest and imprison people...

Hmm? Could it be related to those three farmers from earlier?

Li Si hated people who knew nothing. No matter how smart he was, it was difficult for him to grasp the overall situation from the slightest clues.

It's a pity he doesn't have the ability right now, otherwise he would definitely set up his own intelligence network.

"Yes, Li Si will take care of it tomorrow."

……

The moon is bright and the stars are few; the night sky is clear.

When Cao Ze returned to the post station, he only saw Yan Fei.

"Where's Tian Mi?"

Yan Fei clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, raised her pretty face and looked at Cao Ze, saying, "She's gone."

Cao Ze's eyelids twitched slightly. Could it be that Yan Fei had taken advantage of his absence to kill Tian Mi?

That's actually quite possible.

"...Where did she go? You didn't do anything to her, did you?"

Seeing Cao Ze's reaction, Yan Fei smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid I'll kill her and we won't be able to use her anymore?"

Cao Ze, having his thoughts seen through by Yan Fei, smiled and said, "It seems you're alright."

If Yanfei were truly determined to kill Tianmi, she wouldn't have spoken to him like that. Given her personality, she would probably have simply said, "Kill her, and you can decide what to do."

Yan Fei said slowly, "I saw Tian Mi sneak out, so I followed her in secret."

"She must have made contact with the farmers. Three people from the farmers came, one of whom was Zhu Jia, the head of Shennong Hall."

Cao Ze wasn't too surprised; Tian Mi must have had something on her mind when she got into his car halfway there.

Besides wanting to play on the rocking horse and have sex in the car with him, she was also likely influenced by Tian Guang's suggestion to stick close to him.

The gate to the inn's courtyard was pushed open.

When Tian Mi came in and saw Cao Ze and Yan Fei together, she smiled charmingly and said, "I'm sorry to have disturbed you, I'll go back to my room first."

Cao Ze said, "What's the rush? Come here first."

Tian Mi stopped in her tracks, then smiled broadly, swaying her slender waist as she walked gracefully toward Cao Ze, exuding captivating beauty.

"Does the gentleman call Honey to sleep with him?"

Tian Mi seemed to be intentionally showing off her charm in front of Yan Fei.

Seeing that Yan Fei's expression was indifferent and devoid of emotion, Tian Mi felt disappointed and powerless.

Just ignore her!

"What did you do outside just now?" Cao Ze asked knowingly.

Tian Mi was already mentally prepared.

“Zhu Zhong came all the way from Xianyang to find me, but in order not to disturb you, I sent him away.”

Cao Ze said with a half-smile, "Really?"

Tian Mi raised her beautiful, foxy face, her eyes brimming with allure as she looked at Cao Ze.

"If you don't believe me, sir, you can go to Mi'er's room tonight and question her carefully. Mi'er will definitely tell you everything she knows."

She blinked, a pitiful look arising spontaneously, but the alluring quality in her eyes remained undiminished.

Cao Ze was tempted. He hadn't played with the honey pot game much for a few days and was starting to miss it.

Hmm, it would be nice to play some Honey Pot tonight.

"Alright, go back inside and wait. I'll contact you if I need anything."

Tian Mi seemed to understand Cao Ze's implication and chuckled. Just as she was about to leave, Yan Fei said, "Sir, I'll sleep with you tonight."

Cao Zehu's body trembled.

Could it be that……

Chapter 453 Aunt, Sister-in-law, Little Fairy

The Milky Way stretches across the sky, the heavens are spotless, and the stars shine brilliantly.

Inside the inn, the curtains were half-rolled up, letting in a warm yellow candlelight.

A faint, lingering scent of sandalwood drifted into Cao Ze's nostrils.

"Sleep like this?"

Cao Ze looked up at Yan Fei above him and felt a pang of regret, regretting his hasty decision.

Yanfei lay on the thin rope between the roof beams.

Due to gravity, the wide sleeves and long skirt drooped down, revealing two bare pink legs that were previously hidden beneath the skirt. They were both plump and rounded, as well as slender and graceful.

"I've heard you say that Xiaolongnu slept in the underground tomb in the same way."

"Isn't it very beneficial for spiritual practice?"

Yan Fei's voice is light and melodious, yet possesses a uniquely feminine magnetism.

She tilted her head slightly, lowered her beautiful eyes to look at Cao Ze sitting on the bed, a hint of cunning and smugness flashing in her eyes.

Seeing that Yan Fei was being unreasonable, Cao Ze rolled over and lay down on the couch, propping his head up with his head and crossing his legs, saying, "You're not my aunt, and I'm not your nephew..."

Yan Fei chuckled and said, "Then call me aunt."

"not called!"

Cao Ze refused without hesitation; he couldn't let himself be taken advantage of so easily.

Yan Fei seemed to have been aroused by her competitive spirit and wanted Cao Ze to do things according to her wishes.

"If you call me 'Auntie,' I will go down and keep you company."

Yan Fei deliberately used a sweet and charming voice, adding a touch of seductive allure.

Cao Ze's eyes brightened slightly. It was just calling her "aunt," what was the big deal?

But then he thought again, Yanfei only said she would go down to accompany him, but she didn't say how she would accompany him.

Having been fooled once, how can I fall for it a second time?

"I won't shout unless you fulfill your previous promise to sleep with me tonight."

Cao Ze blew a breath, extinguishing the candle two meters away.

The room was dimly lit, with faint starlight spilling onto the floor, giving it a dreamy, ethereal blue hue.

Seeing that Cao Ze wasn't falling for it, Yan Fei stubbornly retorted, "Wasn't I sleeping with you?"

Cao Ze said irritably, "You're just pretending to be confused."

Yan Fei remained silent, and Cao Ze also stopped speaking, as if to call it a day.

Outside the inn, the Grand Master of Fate knelt on one knee and said, "Moon Goddess, Cao Ze and Dong Jun are right here."

The Moon Goddess gazed wistfully at the simple and serene inn and said softly, "You stay here. I will be right back."

The Grand Master of Fate is too weak; if he sneaks in, he might alert his senior sister.

Under the watchful gaze of the High Priest, the Moon Goddess seemed to merge into the starlight, slowly disappearing without a trace.

The Grand Master of Fate was secretly alarmed; it seemed that the Moon Goddess's strength had increased again.

She recalled what Lady Xiang had said: that the Moon Goddess had used the Possession Technique to steal the life-long power of the Donghuang Sect Leader, who was afflicted with a Gu poison and injured. How powerful must the Donghuang Sect Leader have been before he was seriously injured by the Gu poison?

Could the Moon Goddess Cult Leader become the next powerful figure comparable to the Eastern Emperor Cult Leader?

The moon goddess slowly entered the post station, and the Qin soldiers outside the courtyard were completely unaware that someone had entered.

She walked step by step into the inn, paused and glanced at a brightly lit room as she passed by.
