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

Zi Nu made a decision immediately.

As the chief steward of intelligence at Liusha, she keenly realized that this was definitely not a simple matter.

"Yes!"

Yingge clasped his hands in a fist salute, looking at Zi Nu, who was completely under his control, his eyes filled with admiration, but also with a hint of complexity.

She was ultimately Mr. Cao Ze's person; otherwise, she would have been loyal to Zi Nu.

pity……

Having traveled day and night, passing through the State of Wei, Consort Ya, who had just led her troops to the border between Han and Wei, stood on a high place with her hands behind her back.

Her gaze was fixed on the direction from which the energy beam had shot into the sky.

"This one……"

Ya Fei whispered, "It feels so familiar..."

She suddenly remembered a secret she had read in a tattered book.

Legend has it that when the bronze box containing the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon is opened, a beam of light will shoot into the sky.

Is it...

Ya Fei was filled with excitement. Could it be that there was a treasure box containing the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon in Korea, and that this treasure box had already been opened?

How did you do it?

She has been in charge of the bronze treasure box of the Zhao state for almost ten years. She has tried all sorts of methods, but she simply cannot open it, and she cannot even damage it in the slightest.

In her excitement, Consort Ya decisively handed over military affairs to her deputy general, ordering him to lead troops to Nanyang to provide assistance, while she set off alone, heading directly to Xinzheng.

The beam of light affects a very wide area.

All those who paid attention to the matter, whether or not they knew the secrets involved, made their own choices and preparations.

Meanwhile, in the Han King's palace, Han Fei learned of this matter and, knowing that Zi Nu had already gone there, he no longer took it to heart.

Zhang Liang's face was somewhat pale. After traveling between Han and Wei for many days and riding for thousands of miles, even this gentleman, who considered himself proficient in the Six Arts of a Gentleman and of considerable strength, was finding it difficult to cope.

Of course, it's all Longyang Jun's fault.

We have to talk to him, make him exhausted and anxious, fearing that he might unknowingly fall into a trap, so that he is physically and mentally exhausted and still has to run around day and night.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that we send some city guards to Xuan Nu Peak. The strange phenomenon tonight is not simple and may attract the attention of martial arts practitioners."

Han Fei said calmly, "Let's wait for Zi Nu's news first; we can't act rashly."

It seemed that it was just the Pingyang heavy armored army attacking Nanyang, and all that was needed was to defend Nanyang.

In reality, South Korea is preparing for war along its entire border.

The Qin state stationed more than just the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army on the border of Han.

Therefore, all the troops that South Korea could send to the border were dispatched, leaving only less than 10,000 troops to guard the city of Xinzheng.

At such a time, he would not choose to launch a military campaign lightly, lest he fall into a trap and the state of Han be in danger of extinction.

After thinking it over, Zhang Liang understood his brother's underlying meaning and took his leave.

Just as Zhang Liang was leaving the palace, he saw a charming woman wearing a purple fishtail palace dress walking past him with a smile on her lips.

"Madam Mingzhu..." Zhang Liang murmured to himself, wondering where Madam Mingzhu was going so late at night.

However, he was not suited to stay in the palace for long, so he could only keep this question to himself.

He had always paid close attention to Madam Mingzhu.

Ever since his brother asked him to investigate the whereabouts of the Tide Demoness, he had been somewhat suspicious of Lady Mingzhu, who might be the Tide Demoness of the Night.

However, he found no evidence whatsoever during this period and gave up.

Lady Mingzhu glanced behind her and, seeing no one else, entered an abandoned courtyard with her personal maid.

She slowly opened the somewhat dilapidated and dirty wooden door and went inside.

"Mingzhu has arrived?"

A gentle voice rang out.

A woman dressed in plain clothes, with a figure even more voluptuous and alluring than Madam Mingzhu, stood up.

Madam Mingzhu smiled and said, "Aunt, Mingzhu has come to see you."

She quickly stepped forward and gently stroked the Marquis's arm, as if she were being coquettish.

The Marquis smiled and said, "It's kind of you to come see your aunt so late. Your aunt is very happy."

Mingzhu smiled gently, her smile alluring, and said, "Aunt, what are you saying? It's only natural for a niece to visit her aunt."

Ever since Cao Ze abandoned her and left Xinzheng, leaving her alone with her aunt, she has been living in constant fear.

In order to prevent her aunt from slipping out of her control, she had no choice but to continue training her using the methods of slave training.

But unexpectedly, after experiencing a series of traumas, my aunt suffered amnesia.

The key issue is that not only did she lose her memory, but her aunt's personality also changed drastically.

She transformed from a ruthless and arrogant marquis into a gentle and affectionate one.

This is something she simply can't figure out.

Having originally considered eliminating the threat by killing the Marquis, she couldn't help but hesitate.

Since Cao Ze left Xinzheng and Han Fei became the King of Han, it seems that Zhang Liang has been secretly investigating her.

She had to consider how to protect herself if her past identity as the Nightfall Fairy was exposed.

So she began to brainwash the amnesiac marquis and used a curse on the marquis's body for half a month, finally making her aunt obey her every word and believe that she was a close relative she could trust.

At the same time, with the help of her aunt's mastery and her own understanding of poisons, she spent more than half a month expelling the poison that Cao Ze had left in her body.

She can now say that she is finally free.

Madam Mingzhu continued, "Aunt, I just discovered a mysterious phenomenon. A pillar of light shot into the sky outside the city in the middle of the night. Could you come with me to take a look?"

She believed that with her aunt, a master-level expert, by her side, there was nowhere in the world she couldn't go.

It no longer mattered whether they stayed in the Han royal palace or whether they would be discovered.

Since she can't continue being the First Lady anyway, she might as well leave.

“Okay, wherever Mingzhu wants to go, your aunt will accompany her.”

The Marquis spoke softly and gently, causing Lady Mingzhu to be momentarily dazed. This was the aunt she had always longed for.

……

"The Corpse-Driving Demon, still not a single clue?"

Tianze gradually became irritable.

Could it be that the beam of light we just saw was fake?

He had finally found this place and unexpectedly discovered the entrance to the pool, but he couldn't find a way to enter, which almost drove him crazy.

"Master, look."

The Corpse-Driving Demon pointed to the blue stone wall behind the waterfall. On it grew a huge, strange tree. Unlike other trees that gradually withered and turned yellow with the arrival of autumn, this tree remained lush and green, with abundant leaves. It was nearly a hundred feet long, like a belt hanging on the waterfall, which was quite peculiar.

Awakened by the Corpse-Driving Demon, Tianze and the Hundred Poison King immediately noticed this unusual tree.

"Could the mechanism to enter the pool be here?"

The King of Poisons stroked the giant tree's hard, rough bark, filled with surprise and doubt.

"Such strong vitality."

Having dealt with poisons his entire life, he is very sensitive to vitality.

Tianze frowned. "Are we going to cut this tree down?"

The Corpse-Driving Demon said, "No need. I think this tree should be the core of the formation."

As the last remaining hidden shaman of the Baiyue people, he not only mastered shamanic arts but also had some knowledge of array formations.

The towering beam of light they just saw was because they accidentally triggered the formation.

Tianze calmed himself down and asked, "What's the next step?"

The Corpse-Driving Demon said, "This formation should be a magic array used to hide things. However, it has been around for a long time and has lost its original function, which is why we discovered it. That pillar of light is one of the few remaining energies of the magic array."

"And the ancient tree, which served as the core of the magic array, remained unharmed after losing all its energy. If I'm not mistaken, this is the entrance to the treasure land..."

The Corpse-Driving Demon's gaze lingered for a moment on the ancient tree that spanned the waterfall like a stone bridge, and he said, "The entrance should be inside this ancient tree."

Upon hearing this, both Tianze and Baiduwang were stunned.

Is the entrance inside the tree?

……

Chapter 476 Female Slave

As dawn approached, Zi Nu and Ying Ge were the first to arrive outside Xuan Nu Peak.

Their location was precisely on the north side of the mountain, from which they could easily see the crescent-shaped lake on Xuannv Peak.

"It looks like a woman..."

Parrot perched on the treetop, gazing into the distance with a hint of surprise.

From a distance, the Xuan Nu Peak truly resembles a woman sitting with her legs bent.

If you not only rely on your eyes to see, but also use your five senses, you can easily simulate a scene in your mind.

A woman, head held high, body slightly tilted to one side, her bent legs half-submerged in the lake, like a beauty just out of the bath, casually letting her hair fall loosely by the lake, lazily and gracefully revealing the beautiful curves of her body.

From this perspective, this mountain peak seems not to be a mountain peak, nor a cold and unfeeling rock, but a vibrant, gentle and affectionate woman.

No wonder it was named Xuannv Peak.

Yingge pondered to himself, and then told Zinu about his observations.

Zi Nu paused for a moment, then leaped up to a high place to examine the mountain peak.
