The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

She felt a pang of regret.

I regret not exchanging those gold coins for Iron Blood Alliance gold notes before leaving Handan, even if it meant losing some gold.

Cao Yuan chuckled and patted the money pouch at his waist, which jingled loudly.

“It’s alright, I have money. I can sponsor Miss Snow Woman to open a dance hall.”

The snow woman narrowed her sky-blue eyes.

"What conditions?"

Cao Yuan cupped his hands and smiled, "Miss Xue Nu is truly intelligent and quick-witted."

"The conditions are simple: live with us while we reside in the capital of Yan. And don't tell anyone about us."

The Snow Woman raised an eyebrow and said, "Spying on me?"

Cao Yuan snapped his fingers. "No, it's to protect you."

The Snow Woman was speechless.

Has she just escaped one danger only to fall into another?

"I promise I won't tell anyone about your affairs..."

The Snow Woman moved closer to Cao Yuan.

"Please let me leave."

Cao Yuan took a light breath and easily caught the faint fragrance emanating from the Snow Maiden.

It tastes like daffodils.

"Is the Snow Maiden trying to seduce me?"

Cao Yuan was all smiles.

In the Snow Woman's eyes, his smile was smug and deserved a beating.

I really want to punch him...

The Snow Maiden suppressed her impulse and said calmly, "I came here at the invitation of Prince Dan of Yan. If you try to keep me here, you will definitely get into trouble."

"Of course, you can kill me now."

Cao Yuan shook his head.

"Why would I kill you? I'm not a serial killer."

"As for Prince Dan of Yan..."

Cao Yuan took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom.

"Drink it, and in the capital of Yan, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. No one will stop you."

The snow woman frowned.

"poison?"

Cao Yuan shrugged, took Xue Nu's slender hand, and placed the small porcelain bottle in her slightly sweaty palm.

"Why ask so many questions? Just drink it."

The Snow Woman held the small porcelain bottle, pursed her pink lips, and hesitated for a long time.

Cao Yuan comforted him, "Don't worry, it's alright, you won't die."

"We have no grudges against each other, we just didn't want to get into too much trouble, so we resorted to this tactic."

Xue Nu glared at Cao Yuan, her phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent, secretly annoyed.

But she still drank it all in one gulp.

Having made up his mind, when he arrived in the capital of Yan, he asked the Mohists to inquire about the whereabouts of the physician Duanmu Rong or Master Nian Duan.

As long as you can find a doctor, there is no poison that a doctor cannot cure.

Cao Yuan smiled with satisfaction, "Good boy."

Xue Nu ignored Cao Yuan, frowned, and carefully savored the poison in her mouth, feeling that something was amiss.

"This poison...it tastes like water."

Cao Yuan said matter-of-factly, "Poison is for poisoning people. If it had a smell, wouldn't people know they've been poisoned?"

He learned this move from the dance of separation.

The Snow Maiden stared at Cao Yuan, her beautiful face somewhat blank.

She didn't know if she was really poisoned.

But now she feels a tightness, a blockage, and a feeling of anger in her chest!

She had never seen such a shameless person!

Chapter 46 The Alliance of Six Kingdoms

A beautiful woman was crammed into the already small donkey cart.

Cao Yuan was overjoyed, his car full of stunning beauties.

If future generations of silly netizens saw this, they would be green with envy and jealousy.

Inside the donkey cart.

Jingni whispered to Xiao Mengjiang the mistakes she made during the fight.

Xiao Mengjiang simply nodded, her mood somewhat downcast.

She did not follow Jingni and Liwu's instructions to kill all the dozens of bandits, or even kill a single person.

In a one-on-one fight, no bandit could match her.

But when three or five of them come together, she finds it difficult to handle.

This is far inferior to Li Wu, who is also a second-rate player, and who can swiftly and decisively kill more than a dozen bandits.

"You need to carefully reflect on that night, the decisiveness with which you threw your short sword and killed Master Gen. Your strength is not weak, you need to bring it all out."

Jingni spoke softly and slowly.

"I only threw the dagger because I was worried about Cao Cao and afraid he would get hurt..."

Li Wu chuckled, “Worry and fear are also a kind of power. Don’t you want to protect your best A-Man? If so, don’t hesitate to draw your sword next time, otherwise you will not only hurt yourself, but also your A-Man. Don’t forget, we haven’t escaped the pursuit of the Net yet.”

Xiao Mengjiang nodded silently, "I understand, Sister Liwu."

The snow woman inside the donkey cart leaned against a corner of the carriage.

Listening to Jing Ni Li Wu and Xiao Meng Jiang's idle chatter, she felt like she was carsick, her head spinning like mush.

What kind of training is this for killing people...

What kind of net-like pursuit...?

What the heck is going on...?

Aren't you assassins from the Luo Wang organization?

They all look so normal, so like good people.

The snow woman's beautiful, sky-blue eyes were filled with confusion.

Has she fallen into a den of idiots?

Everyone here is mentally ill, and they all speak in strange and unusual ways.

……

The capital of Yan, Jicheng, is blessed with the abundance of Jieshi and Yanmen to the south, and the benefits of jujubes and chestnuts to the north. The people can live comfortably on jujubes and chestnuts without having to farm. This is what is meant by a land of plenty.

After a day and a night, Cao Yuan drove his donkey cart into the ancient capital, feeling the atmosphere of the city's bustling streets, and leisurely recalled a description he had accidentally seen in the Warring States Policy.

"Leave the dance hall, go to the brokerage shop, and rent a house near Lord Yanchun's residence. It needs to be a large one."

"Sure, where's the money?"

Li Wu stretched out her fair little hand and smiled slyly.

She knew Cao Yuan didn't have much money, so she deliberately asked for it, just waiting for Cao Yuan to beg her.

"The Snow Woman still has a dozen or so gold coins on her; let's make do with them for now."

Cao Yuan said without blinking.

The snow woman tilted her head, slightly annoyed, and said, "Why are you using my money!"

Cao Yuan glanced back at Xue Nu's angry expression. He had to admit, even when she was angry, the beautiful woman was still so attractive that he felt no impatience whatsoever.

"Since you're going to stay here anyway, consider it rent. I can't let you stay for free."

The Snow Woman was shocked by Cao Yuan's shameless thought process.

"...Don't you have any money?"

After holding it in for a long time, the Snow Woman blurted out a sentence that had been weighing on her heart.

Cao Yuan laughed and said, "You're really smart, thumbs up!"

He certainly didn't have much money, but Jingni and Liwu were quite wealthy; the money they earned from missions alone amounted to several hundred gold coins in gold notes.

However, the money had to be exchanged at the Iron Blood Alliance's bank in Yan State, which would easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

For some reason, the Snow Woman suddenly calmed down.

"So, you lied to me about helping me open a dance hall?"

Cao Yuan denied it, saying, "Of course not, but when to open and what kind of opening requires us to have a detailed exchange and in-depth communication."

Xue Nu felt a pain in her chest again, and she really wanted to shove the jade flute into Cao Yuan's mouth to vent her anger.

"Take it, and don't bother me anymore."

The snow woman threw the money pouch away, closed her eyes, and decided to avoid seeing it.

Li Wu glanced at Cao Yuan, said nothing, and left with Xue Nu's money pouch.
