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

But what lies before him now is a landslide, the collapse of Xuan Nu Peak.

The fact that the cave collapsed indirectly proves that the cave was likely that large.

This really challenges his understanding.

Han Fei had no time to continue his conversation with Zhang Liang.

He personally took to the horse and began to appease the people of Xinzheng.

In this era that deeply revered ghosts and spirits, a landslide, especially one occurring near the capital, was bound to generate countless rumors.

With the Qin army pressing in, we must not allow any fires to break out in our rear.

……

An hour later, the sky began to lighten.

Cao Ze, dressed in plain clothes, arrived at the Han King's Palace in a low-key manner.

However, with Jingni and Madam Mingzhu following him on either side, he seemed unable to keep a low profile.

He had not originally planned to come to the Han King's Palace to see Han Fei.

He was only thinking of getting Jingni to sneak into Xinzheng to get him a couple of sets of clothes, since running around naked in a grass skirt all the time wasn't a good idea.

But then he happened to run into Zhang Liang.

This kid is getting more and more sleazy; he must have been corrupted by some unscrupulous person.

Seeing that he had no intention of meeting Han Fei, he simply said, "Liang also knows a little about painting," leaving him speechless.

This is clearly an attempt to help him publish a photo album!

So he thought about it and then came.

Because he needs to leave himself more options.

To avoid ending up like Lü Buwei, where "the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked, the birds are all gone, and the good bow is put away," leaving him with nowhere to go.

He was also curious about why Han Fei wanted to see him.

After working hard for half the night, Han Fei almost lost his composure when he saw Cao Ze with two beauties on either side of him in the palace.

His own sister was so devoted and infatuated, but this kid has even managed to steal away his nominal mother.

Of course, he also learned from Yingge that Lady Mingzhu was actually the Tide Demoness.

However, considering the potential impact, they could only pretend not to know.

"Brother Cao, it's been a long time."

Han Fei straightened his royal robes and walked up to Cao Ze with renewed vigor. However, he could not hide the fatigue on his face and the dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been up for more than ten nights.

Seeing Han Fei's relaxed and casual tone, Cao Ze chuckled and said, "I thought Brother Han would have three hundred axemen lying in ambush in the palace and then smash a cup as a signal."

Han Fei chuckled and said, "I'd like to do that, but if I did, you definitely wouldn't show yourself easily, and you'd run away faster than a rabbit if you encountered danger."

Cao Ze chuckled.

He had slept with Lady Mingzhu countless times in the Han Palace and was quite familiar with the place.

Just by glancing at it beforehand, I knew Han Fei wasn't up to any tricks.

Han Fei ordered someone to bring over a table and sat down opposite Cao Ze.

"Brother Cao, how are you doing in Qin?"

Cao Ze remained calm and composed, saying, "Not bad, I just made Lü Buwei move."

Han Fei couldn't help but smile smugly, "If I hadn't secretly sent someone to help, how could Brother Cao have so easily forced Lü Buwei to leave?"

Cao Ze neither played the straight man nor responded; instead, he asked, "How is Lü Buwei doing lately?"

Han Fei took a sip of wine. “Very good. He was appointed prime minister by the King of Zhao.”

Cao Ze said, "I just don't know if this prime minister is the same one who bought a horse bone for a thousand pieces of gold."

"Hehe..." Madam Mingzhu, standing behind Cao Ze, couldn't help but chuckle, finding it quite amusing.

Han Fei said calmly, "Lady Mingzhu, as the Nightfall Fairy, you have been hiding in the harem for many years, and I will not hold it against you too much. But from now on, you can no longer call yourself the Lady of Han. Whether you continue to be the Nightfall Fairy or leave Han, it is up to you. But if you continue to appear as the Lady of Han, I will definitely not forgive you."

A look of disdain appeared on Madam Mingzhu's beautiful face.

"Who cares about that Korean lady? All I want now is to marry Mr. Cao Ze and become his wife!"

Han Fei's eyes widened instantly, staring intently at Cao Ze.

Cao Ze shrugged and said, "Brother Han, would you believe me if I said I was innocent?"

Now Madam Mingzhu makes no attempt to hide it, practically begging everyone to tell her to be her dog... I mean, Madam.

Jingni glanced at Madam Mingzhu with her beautiful eyes, thinking that if she wanted to become Cao Ze's legal wife, she would have to see if Madam Mingzhu agreed.

Han Fei gritted his teeth, barely suppressing the urge to order someone to seize Lady Mingzhu.

"I will give Brother Cao some face and not hold it against you!"

Lady Mingzhu pursed her lips, but did not continue to provoke Han Fei. After all, this was the Han Royal Palace, and she did not want Cao Ze to get rid of her.

Han Fei looked at Cao Ze, who had an innocent expression, and felt like crying but couldn't.

If Cao Zezhen were to formally marry Madam Mingzhu, Madam Mingzhu's true identity would surely be revealed to the world, and South Korea would become a laughing stock.

As for the trivial matter of being a generation younger than Cao Ze for no reason, it was insignificant.

No! We can't let Madam Mingzhu have a chance to succeed!

At this moment, Han Fei made up his mind.

"Brother Cao, what do you think of my little sister?"

Cao Ze paused for a moment, and the image of Hong Lian's innocent and lovely smile suddenly appeared in his mind; it was truly a pure and beautiful thing.

"...Is she alright?"

Upon hearing this, Han Fei was furious.

"Oh no! Very bad! Because of you, I've run away again and again."

"If I hadn't kept a close eye on her, my little sister would be wandering off somewhere by now!"

Han Fei grew increasingly angry as he spoke, relentlessly berating Cao Ze, almost to the point of directly pointing at Cao Ze and cursing him.

Cao Ze originally wanted to argue with Han Fei. When it comes to arguing, he's never been afraid of anyone. Besides, if he can't win an argument, he can always resort to physical violence.

But when Han Fei mentioned that Honglian was so emaciated because she couldn't leave the palace and missed him so much, he was even more emaciated...

He immediately sat obediently, letting his brother-in-law scold him.

He never expected Honglian to be so deeply in love.

He subconsciously overlooked the fact that this era is not modern, and it's not simply about falling in love.

This era is open, but unlike modern times, it is characterized by genuine and unrestrained emotions.

Unlike women of later generations, who were effeminate and unseemly.

The main strategy is to be passive, using passivity to gain emotional advantage and reap all the benefits; it has almost become an instinctive subconscious.

Han Fei reprimanded Cao Ze for half an hour straight, which made Cao Ze feel completely relaxed, and he couldn't help but drink a large glass of wine.

Cao Ze said weakly, "Brother Han, you asked me to come here so you could coax Honglian?"

Han Fei almost sprayed the wine in his mouth all over Cao Ze's face.

He swallowed the wine in his mouth with difficulty, silently reminding himself that he was now the King of Han and could no longer act as casually as before.

"Don't even think about it!"

Han Fei's expression turned serious. "I'll only ask you one question now: Do you love my sister?"

Even though Cao Ze knew that Han Fei had something to say later, and that there were even more traps waiting for him.

But if he were to evade the question at this moment, he would despise himself, let alone Jingni and Madam Mingzhu behind him.

"like!"

Cao Ze's expression was resolute, and he hardly hesitated.

Han Fei relaxed. "That's good."

"Taking advantage of this war, I will arrange for my younger sister to marry you under the pretext of seeking peace."

Before Cao Ze could say anything, Madam Mingzhu immediately became angry.

"No! I disagree!"

She still wanted to marry Cao Ze, so how could she tolerate someone else getting there first, especially Honglian who was always unhappy with her?

Cao Ze's face turned cold. "You have no right to speak here!"

"Jingni, take her aside to calm down."

Jing Ni reached out and grabbed Madam Mingzhu's jade arm. No matter how much Madam Mingzhu tried to resist, she could not get rid of Jing Ni's hand and followed Jing Ni away from Cao Ze by force.

Han Fei scoffed, "It seems Brother Cao is not satisfied with the Tide Demoness."

"I suggest Brother Cao get rid of this kind of woman, otherwise trouble will happen sooner or later."

As Honglian's brother, he naturally sided with his younger sister. Seeing that Madam Mingzhu wanted to cause trouble, he naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to sow discord.

Cao Ze coughed lightly, "Let's not talk about her anymore."

He did want to get rid of Madam Mingzhu, but considering that Madam Mingzhu seemed to control the Marquis, he decided that keeping her by his side was not a bad idea.

But then again, where did the Marchioness go?

It would be such a pity if they were crushed to death by the Xuan Nu Peak.

Han Fei asked in a serious tone, "Brother Cao, do you agree?"

Cao Ze frowned slightly. "Brother Han, you may not know the King of Qin very well. Once he has made up his mind, it is very difficult for others to change it."

"This time, the King of Qin is determined to take Nanyang. Even if you marry Honglian to me under the pretense of a marriage alliance, it is very likely that you will not achieve your goal."

Han Fei shook his head with a wry smile, "I didn't really think that this would make Qin withdraw its troops."

"It was just a performance for the Zhao and Wei states, to give them an explanation."
