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

Even though he was on the defending side, the thought of the elite Qin army's siege equipment gave him a huge headache.

It should be noted that the divine crossbow used by the Qin army in the Battle of Puyang was only one of many.

Ji Wuye swallowed hard.

"How many troops does Your Majesty plan to send to support Nanyang?"

With less than 20,000 troops in Nanyang alone, they would be blasted into dust by the Qin army in less than half a month.

Han Fei thought for a moment and said, "At present, the state of Han can only mobilize 100,000 troops, which is already stretched thin when they are divided to defend various places."

"Furthermore, since the three Jin states are attacking Qi, our Han state naturally cannot refrain from sending troops."

"Therefore, I will grant the general a maximum of five thousand men."

Ji Wuye almost cursed. What use are five thousand people? Does it make a difference whether they die later or sooner?

He now strongly suspects that Han Fei is sending him to his death.

"Your Majesty, if the Qin army that has come is truly the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army, then..."

Han Fei said calmly, "With the three Jin states united and watching out for each other, what is there to fear even if the Qin army presses in with overwhelming force? If the general does not wish to go, then I will send someone else."

Ji Wuye's heart sank slightly. Was this a warning or a reprimand?

However, the purpose of the alliance of the three Jin states was to target the Qin state, and such a narrow pass would prevent the Qin state from taking Nanyang.

Once Qin takes Nanyang, Han will have virtually no natural defenses, and its destruction will be at Qin's mercy.

He gritted his teeth and said, "This humble general dares not! This humble general will go to Nanyang immediately!"

Ji Wuye turned to leave, and just then he saw Mo Ya and Bai Feng standing with their arms crossed at the palace gate.

He snorted coldly. Those two traitors, and that bitch Yingge, one day he would make them know the consequences of betraying him.

Mo Ya responded to Ji Wuye's coldness with a smile, "Farewell, General."

Ji Wuye's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was some kind of conspiracy going to Nanyang this time?

Mo Ya watched Ji Wuye leave in a hurry with a puzzled look. Was this still the lawless General Ji he knew?

Could it really be as Han Fei said, that Ji Wuye is just a sick tiger with a strong exterior but a weak interior?

As Mo Ya entered the main hall, Han Fei immediately asked, "Have you found out Cao Ze's whereabouts?"

He harbored a deep resentment towards the guy who almost became his brother-in-law.

If we don't take this opportunity to teach Cao Ze a lesson and show him the consequences of being a heartless man, how can he be the King of Han?

Mo Ya said, "According to reports from our spies in Xianyang, Cao Ze disappeared after leaving Xianyang, traveling alone with only a convoy of carriages. These past few days, my subordinates have secretly sent people to keep an eye on various passes between Xianyang and Wusui, but we still haven't found him. It's as if he vanished into thin air."

Since Han Fei succeeded to the throne as King of Han and Wei Zhuang became the Right Sima, the Quicksand Gang has been virtually without anyone.

Then Han Fei asked him and Bai Fengyingge to join the Quicksand organization to assist Zi Nu in gathering intelligence.

Han Fei nodded slightly. "That's normal."

Based on his understanding of Cao Ze, Cao Ze would definitely prioritize concealing his whereabouts.

If he had Cao Ze's strength, he would also travel alone, avoiding the eyes and ears of various forces.

He then said to Mo Ya, "Have Liu Sha keep a close eye on Ji Wuye in the dark. Any moves he makes must be reported to me."

He never trusted Ji Wuye, and if the state had any capable general, he would never have given Ji Wuye a priority.

South Korea remained weak, finding it difficult to cultivate its own military leaders or attract capable ones.

Upon realizing this, Han Fei couldn't help but sigh.

If Li Mu were a general of the state of Han, he would never have to worry about the Qin army attacking the city.

We need to nurture Wei Zhuang properly now so he can replace Ji Wuye.

Han Fei left the main hall with mixed thoughts and saw Hong Lian walking towards him from outside the hall.

"Little sister..."

Honglian looked somewhat dejected. "Brother, I want to go out for a walk to clear my head. I don't want to stay in the palace anymore."

Han Fei was at his wit's end upon hearing Hong Lian's words.

The news that Cao Ze had been appointed as the Imperial Censor of Qin caused quite a stir among the seven kingdoms, and naturally, it could not be kept from his younger sister.

Left with no other choice, he told the truth.

To his surprise, his younger sister did not have any violent reaction.

But this only made him more worried.

Sure enough, less than a day later, the younger sister ran out of the palace in the middle of the night.

She was carrying a bundle on her back, clearly longing to meet her lover a thousand miles away.

At that time, he almost couldn't resist leading a team to Xianyang to capture Cao Ze and force him to marry his younger sister.

This is such a terrible thing!

But he couldn't hit or scold Honglian.

They could only ask Hu Meiren for help, and even brought Zi Nu Nong Yu to accompany Hong Lian and keep an eye on her.

"Well... Honglian, the Qin army will be attacking Nanyang in a few days. You should stay in the palace and study."

Han Fei spoke dryly, wanting to slap himself.

It must be so hard for him. Is it easy for him?

Honglian gave a neutral "Oh."

"Brother Wang, I apologize for disturbing you. I'll take my leave now."

Han Fei watched his younger sister's departing figure, feeling quite uneasy.

He would rather his younger sister make a scene than keep everything bottled up inside and not even tell him.

Thinking of this, Han Fei felt even more resentful.

If it weren't for Cao Ze, if it weren't for Cao Ze's "Dream of the Red Chamber" featuring Lin Daiyu, would her sister have ended up like this?

Cao Ze, who had just disembarked from the boat and was heading to Wusui, sneezed loudly.

Cao Ze and Jing Ni sat in the carriage, muttering to themselves, "Could it be that a girl is missing me?"

He really wanted to meet Lady Hu and the other ladies.

Especially Madam Mingzhu, who knows what she's up to with her aunt now.

Based on Lady Mingzhu's training methods, he didn't think the Marquis would be able to handle it.

She either committed suicide or was trained by Madam Mingzhu to become a prostitute available to all.

He felt a little excited at the thought. If the Marquis successfully won over Lady Mingzhu, wouldn't he be able to secretly rejoice?

Jing Ni glanced at Cao Ze, whose expression was strange.

What are you thinking about?

Cao Ze immediately corrected his attitude.

His wife had such good eyesight; she almost saw through his filthy thoughts.

"Back then, we released Tianze and the others back to Xinzheng. We don't know if they found the Baiyue treasure or not."

Cao Ze spoke in a serious tone, as if he had really been thinking about this matter.

Jing Ni doesn't have as many tricks up her sleeve as Cao Ze.

She said, "Yan Lingji told me that the Corpse-Driving Demon intends to leave Tianze. Perhaps you could go find him first."

Cao Ze said, "They should still be at Xuannv Peak in Xinzheng. Let's sneak over there once the fighting has calmed down."

Jingni raised a delicate eyebrow slightly. "Do you still want to see them?"

Cao Ze swallowed hard.

My own giant salamander is getting smarter and smarter.

I really miss the straightforward Jingni from back then. Apart from being a bit cold, she was perfect in every way.

"kind of……"

To be honest, Cao Ze had nothing to hide about Jing Ni.

After all, back in Xinzheng, Jing Ni had covered for us quite a bit.

Jing Ni said earnestly, "They are all from Han. Now you are an imperial censor of Qin. If this is exposed, it will be bad for both you and them."

"If you want to see them, if you want them, once we take Nanyang, Korea will be at our mercy, and you can do whatever you want."

Cao Ze was surprised that Jing Ni could say such a thing.

It wasn't about letting him take women, but rather knowing that taking Nanyang would make things easier.

This made him look at Jing Ni with new respect.

Sure enough, under his influence, the salamander also developed some cleverness.

If the original author had the intelligence of today, she might have become the female leader of the farming family in no time, even before her daughter.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I won't be impatient."

Cao Ze laughed and said, "It will take another two days to reach Wusui. Why don't we find a place to stay nearby tonight, wash up, and relax?"

Jing Ni knew exactly what Cao Ze was planning.

She hummed in agreement and said, "Don't be too indulgent."

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "I know, I know, moderation and restraint, I understand."

If it weren't for the small size of the boat, it wouldn't be convenient for men and women to engage in sexual activity on board.

He must have had a water fight with Jingni on the boat first.

Hmm, if they ever build a mirage, I'll have to bring my whole family up there for a few days.

Experience life on an ancient cruise ship.

Let's also throw a grand banquet at the Hainan Island.
