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

The high priest was hit hard, became a little withdrawn, and stopped moving.

Cao Ze chuckled and didn't continue to make things difficult for the High Priest.

He stepped forward and hoisted Huaying onto his shoulder.

This girl's fabric is indeed of exceptional quality, warm, fragrant, soft, and smooth—simply stunning.

"Let's go find a place to sleep!"

……

Chapter 536 What? My son became the crown prince?

The next day, at noon.

The moon goddess, her eyes veiled in a sky-blue veil, walked the streets of the Chu capital.

The surroundings were cold and desolate, bringing a touch of bleakness to the winter day.

"Your Majesty, is General Xiang Yan trustworthy?"

The Moon Goddess glanced at the spies hidden everywhere, already pondering how to take down Cao Ze.

That's right!

When she learned that Cao Ze was on a diplomatic mission to the State of Chu and was in the capital of Chu, she couldn't wait to come and capture this traitor!

Lord Changping lifted the curtain of the carriage. “General Xiang Yan was a trusted minister entrusted to me by my father before his death. The loyalty of the Xiang clan is beyond doubt.”

The Moon Goddess nodded, suppressing her excitement to beat Cao Ze, lest she alert him.

Before long, Ji Bu arrived with a small squad of knights, his face grim.

"Your Majesty! General Xiang Yan is waiting for you in the palace!"

The Moon Goddess suddenly sharpened her gaze, "General Ji Bu, why do you look so pale!"

Changping Jun was taken aback and looked at Ji Bu.

Half an hour ago, Ji Bu entered the capital ahead of time to report to Xiang Yan. His expression was not exactly good, but it was not this bad either.

Is it...

Lord Changping was startled. "Could it be that the Qu, Jing, Zhao, and their families have made another move?"

Ji Bu gave a wry smile. "Your Majesty, do not worry. The Qu family has already left the capital. The capital is not in danger now. The Grand General is in the palace handling some trivial matters."

"Then why do you look so pale?"

The moon goddess is aggressive and utterly unapproachable.

"...My sister was kidnapped by the traitor Cao Cao."

Anxiety and worry surfaced in Ji Bu's woman-like eyes.

"Cao Cao, the traitor?"

The Moon Goddess froze, as if remembering something, and hurriedly said, "Could it be Cao Ze?!"

"It's him! It's definitely him!"

Ji Bu had a toothache; he never expected this fellow to do such a thing!

Based on the rumors he knew about Cao Cao, his sister's innocence was probably in jeopardy.

His only hope is that his sister will come back safely.

The Moon Goddess was furious; she hadn't expected that this fellow would escape again!

She looked at Ji Bu and said coldly, "Your sister has probably already been humiliated by that scoundrel, huh."

Even with Ji Bu's gentle nature, he couldn't help but glare angrily upon hearing the Moon Goddess's cold words.

Changping Jun quickly smoothed things over, "General Ji Bu, please take me to see the Grand General so that I can ask him to send someone to rescue your sister."

Ji Bu took a deep breath. "Yes."

He knew it was useless.

According to intelligence, besides Cao Ze and Jing Ni, there is another woman with extraordinary strength. With such a lineup, unless a large army is dispatched for a thorough search, it will be difficult to rescue the sister.

Royal Palace.

Xiang Yan hurried to the slightly dilapidated donkey cart and immediately knelt down.

"Your subject Xiang Yan is late; I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Changping Jun lifted the carriage curtain and stepped down from the donkey cart.

He looked at the unfamiliar buildings around him, yet for some reason felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.

Yes, these were all things his father had told him when he was young.

But now it is presented to him.

This is his homeland, the place he has longed for for so many years.

For a moment, Changping Jun's eyes welled up with tears.

"General, please rise."

Changping Jun supported Xiang Yan, his voice hoarse, his emotions flowing freely.

Xiang Yan, overcome with emotion, wept uncontrollably, saying, "It is my fault, I have failed the late king, I almost caused a terrible disaster..."

Changping Jun said, "Mo Yan, Mo Yan, I'm back..."

He patted the donkey cart and stroked the thin donkey. "Take good care of it. Without it, I'm afraid I won't be able to travel back to Chu day and night."

"I will certainly send someone to take good care of this donkey; it has rendered meritorious service!"

Xiang Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, what should be done about the Queen?"

Upon hearing this, Changping Jun's eyes turned cold.

This is truly a royal scandal.

"You shall be confined within the palace and never be allowed to step out again for the rest of your life!"

Regardless, the queen was ultimately his father's wife, and if he wanted to smoothly succeed to the throne, he had to consider things carefully.

"Yes!"

Xiang Yan clasped his hands in a fist salute, his eyes filled with relief. He was very worried that Lord Changping might execute the Queen in a fit of anger.

This could very well be a fatal blow to Lord Changping, who had never set foot in the State of Chu and had no reputation there.

The three families of Qu Jingzhao could easily seize the opportunity to cause trouble and interfere with Changping Jun's succession to the throne.

Seeing that Lord Changping was safe, the Moon Goddess was still worried about the disciples that the Grand Master of Fate had brought back to Goddess Peak. She said, "Your Majesty, I have other matters to attend to. I will return to Goddess Peak first."

Although Changping-kun did not want the Moon Goddess to leave, he still agreed.

"Please do as you wish, Moon Goddess Cult Leader. Once things have settled down, I will certainly keep my promise and appoint you as the National Preceptor of the Chu Kingdom!"

He originally intended to bestow the position of Imperial Preceptor upon Tian Guangxia, but in order to win over the Yin-Yang School and in consideration of the Moon Goddess's life-saving grace, he had no choice but to temporarily relinquish the position to Guangxia.

Ji Bu, who had been anxiously waiting by the side, finally couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty..."

Changping Jun then remembered that he had promised Ji Bu earlier.

Although he didn't care how Cao Ze insulted Ji Bu's sister, or even whether she died, he had just returned to the capital of Chu and needed to win people's hearts.

This young centurion naturally fits the target of his recruitment efforts.

"General Xiang Yan, this young man's sister has been kidnapped by the traitor Cao. Please send someone to rescue her."

Xiang Yan frowned slightly and said, "Alright, Ji Bu, go to the camp and select men. Set off with Ying Bu."

He didn't want to make a big fuss over a small matter at this time, but how could he refuse Changping-kun's first request?

"Yes!"

Ji Bu, who was already impatient, left immediately. He was usually so meticulous that he forgot to thank Lord Changping first.

But no one paid attention; everyone looked at Changping Jun, whose face was weathered and somewhat dejected.

Everyone knows that the state of Chu is about to undergo a major upheaval.

……

"Hoo..."

Cao Ze quickly pulled the BMW to a stop, looking at the beautiful young woman in front of him with a bit of helplessness.

"I don't have time to waste any longer, I'll just sleep here!"

The high priest glanced at the forest floor littered with withered branches, his expression indifferent.

Cao Ze's eye twitched slightly.

Sister, even though you are a Grandmaster and I am a Grandmaster, we can't just have sex in the wild, especially in the winter.

"Waaaaah..."

Hua Ying's mouth was stuffed with a cloth by Cao Ze, so she couldn't say a word and kicked her legs in frustration.

Unfortunately, her hands and feet were tied behind her back, and she was hung in front of Cao Ze like a saddle, so she could only struggle.

"Snapped!"

Cao Ze slapped Hua Ying's shapely buttocks without any mercy.

"What are you doing, wandering around like that! Be quiet!"

The pain in her buttocks brought Hua Ying to tears of humiliation, and she was filled with unwarranted rage.

The high priest stood three feet off the ground, looking at the beautiful woman Cao Ze had abducted, and said, "If you don't want to sleep with me, hand over the dragon soul to me first. After I reseal the Demon God of War, I will come back to be your concubine."

Cao Ze was speechless.

Does it matter whether I sleep with someone or not, or whether I become a concubine?

Importantly, he didn't bring the Dragon Soul with him; instead, he hid it in Xianyang.

"Cao Ze, don't go too far! The High Priest has already agreed to your shameless request, what more do you want?!"
