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

Ya Fei is certainly not ugly.

She was tall and slender, a little taller than me, with two beautiful, straight legs.

Especially at this moment, Ya Fei was dressed in a red dress, with a high chest, eyebrows like swallow wings, and bright eyes, making her look heroic and imposing.

Coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, she was easily among the top three women he had ever seen.

It was only then that Cao Ze realized that Consort Ya seemed to be much more beautiful than when she was in Handan.

Back in Handan, although Ya Fei was very beautiful, she was still slightly inferior to Xue Nu.

Could leading troops into battle really make women more beautiful?

Looking at Ya Fei's increasingly resolute face, Cao Ze inexplicably thought of the Marquis who might have died on Xuan Nu Peak, and felt a strange unease in his heart.

"Her Highness Consort Ya is charming and beautiful, with unparalleled beauty and allure, a femme fatale..."

Ok?

It seems like some strange words have been mixed in.

Ya Fei had been squinting her watery phoenix eyes, looking rather satisfied, but after hearing Cao Ze call her a femme fatale, her smiling face quickly cooled down.

"So, in your heart, I am nothing but a femme fatale, is that it?"

Cao Ze grinned.

How did he accidentally say what he really wanted to say?

He did indeed think to himself that Consort Ya was a femme fatale.

How could she not be a source of trouble?

He was just telling a story about the Xuanwu Gate Incident for fun, but then Ya Fei gave him a real demonstration of what the Xuanwu Gate Incident was like.

Not to mention that in order to get him back to Handan, Ya Fei prevented him from seeing his wife and children.

What else could this be but a source of trouble?

It is undoubtedly the source of darkness and turmoil.

Seeing Cao Ze remain silent, Consort Ya snorted and said, "I won't argue with you about these things. I'll ask you one last time, are you coming back to Handan with me or not?!"

This is the umpteenth time already… Cao Ze’s expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, “I won’t go back!”

His reply was forceful and clear, as if he were deliberately trying to provoke Ya Fei.

Ya Fei was indeed angered.

He wished he could draw his sword and chop the kid in front of him to pieces.

"Row!"

Ya Fei suddenly stood up, walked to the door with a thud, pushed it open, and shouted at Cao Ze, "Cao Ze! You'll regret this!"

"boom!"

The sound of the door being banged on lingered for a long time.

Cao Ze looked up at the sky and sighed, muttering to himself, "If only I were the Hokage."

If only I had Kage-level strength, I could beat anyone who dared to challenge me into submission, and I wouldn't need to waste my brain.

Jingni held the Kunwu Sword and gazed leisurely out the window.

Downstairs at Zilan Pavilion, Yafei leaped onto a snow-white warhorse, and with a long neigh, she cracked her whip and galloped away toward the city gate.

This woman's temper is getting increasingly fierce...

Jingni, standing by the window, and Cao Ze, sitting at the tea table, both had the same thought.

Back then, Consort Ya possessed the elegance and grace of a princess from another country and a noblewoman from Handan.

The battlefield can really toughen you up.

……

The plan of the day is in the morning.

The best time to plan for the day is at night.

The key to a good day lies in the early morning and late at night.

As Cao Ze continued his daily life with Jingni and Lady Mingzhu, Ying Zheng finally sent someone with a reply.

Cao Ze looked at the man in front of him with a serious expression.

"Brother Li, I didn't expect the King to send you."

Li Si cupped his hands and said with a wry smile, "As Your Majesty's chief secretary, and having just been an envoy to Korea, Your Majesty has some impression of me. I am grateful for Your Majesty's favor."

Cao Ze waved his hand. "Alright, let's get down to business. What did the King say?"

Li Si glanced around the room and, seeing only Cao Ze's personal guard Jing Ni, began to speak.

"The king said that Korea can have a marriage alliance, but Nanyang must be given as the dowry. Therefore, he has sent me to Korea again this time."

Cao Ze smiled.

This wave is in the bag.

The importance of Namyang to South Korea is beyond doubt.

Without Nanyang, the state of Han would only have Xinzheng as its only major city, and would have had to face the Qin state directly.

Unless the brother-in-law is so foolish as to lose his mind, he will not agree to Ying Zheng's conditions.

This isn't a marriage alliance; this is cutting off South Korea's lifeline.

"Alright, let's go to the palace together tomorrow."

Cao Ze was in a great mood; he could be a womanizer and live a wild life as he pleased again.

That night, Cao Ze slept with Cai Die and Xiao Hongyu.

It wasn't that he wanted to sleep with those two girls.

He originally intended to flirt with Zi Nu.

But who knew that because he had teased Zi Nu about the erotic pictures she had secretly drawn, Zi Nu would suddenly become sexually apathetic.

After she arrived, Zi Nu directly stuffed Xiao Hong Yu and Cai Die, who had been eyeing him for a long time, into his arms and told him to go play somewhere else and not get in her way.

Xiao Hongyu and Caidie were very happy.

Of course, Cao Ze was quite happy too.

……

The next day.

Guests from afar joined us for a discussion.

"Brother Cao Ze, I'm leaving now."

Kuang Xiu patted Cao Ze on the shoulder, sighed, and said nothing more.

Now, news has spread throughout Xinzheng that an old man ran naked into the Han King's palace in the middle of the night.

He was jokingly called "the bravest man in the world".

Of course, most importantly, everyone in Xinzheng now knows what he looks like, so there's no way to hide from him now.

He was puzzled, though. Han Fei had charged toward the Han palace with him, so how come he was the only one left in the end?

Cao Ze, full of understanding but with a puzzled thought in mind, asked, "Where are you planning to go, brother?"

Kuang Xiu didn't think too much about it. "Let's go to Chu. This time we'll go far away to find Brother Jing Ke. We can't stay in the Central Plains anymore."

Cao Ze said with some regret, "This time it's really far."

Kuang Xiu waved his hand and said, "No need to see me off, I'm leaving."

Cao Ze replied, "Take care, brother."

Watching Kuang Xiu's departing figure, Li Si asked curiously, "What's wrong with Master Kuang Xiu?"

Cao Ze sighed, "It's a sad story. You can ask your good senior brother."

Li Si straightened his Qin envoy's formal attire and smiled, "I never expected to meet my senior brother again. I wonder what decision you will make this time."

Cao Ze joked, "You've been to the palace twice. You're one of a kind, a scorpion poop."

The two of them laughed heartily.

Xiao Hongyu and Caidie served Cao Ze, one on each side, as he ate and dressed. The girl's rosy face was full of satisfaction, and her bright, beautiful eyes were brimming with spring-like joy.

There was no way around it; they had been oppressed too "miserably" by Cao Ze.

Riding a BMW, sitting in a carved carriage.

Cao Ze and Li Si arrived at the Han King's Palace.

Because they had presented official documents, it was a formal audience, and the two waited for a while at the foot of the steps outside the main hall.

Not far away, a thin and haggard young girl was gazing longingly at Cao Ze outside the palace.

She subconsciously took two steps forward, and a jade-like arm, as delicate as a fresh lotus root, wrapped around the girl's waist.

“Princess, the King has said that you cannot meet with Cao Ze before the marriage is settled.”

Hu Meiren looked slightly distressed and helpless as she spoke.

She had planned to visit her sister in the next few days, and while she was at it, spar with this petty thief. With the thief and her sister's backing, she would give that wretched dog, Madam Mingzhu, a good beating.

However, Han Fei made her stay with Honglian and not leave her side for even a moment.

"……Um."

Honglian stood motionless, so obedient that Hu Meiren felt the once vibrant girl before her had changed so much.

Hu Meiren sighed softly to herself, thinking what a pitiful girl she was.

What's so great about that thief? He has so many women, he even took that cheap slut, Lady Mingzhu. He's clearly not the kind of man you can spend your life with.

It's only suitable for a mature and rational woman like her to get involved with.

"...I have come to pay my respects!"
