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

Lu Buwei left Zhangtai Palace with his own thoughts on his mind.

If the King of Qin were to assume personal rule, and it were discovered that he was unwilling to relinquish his power...

Lü Buwei shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Since Ying Zheng did not believe in Huang-Lao philosophy and did not believe that non-interference was necessary after unification, he insisted on following the Legalist school of Han Fei's doctrines of law, tactics, and power.

So he decided to try to get Ying Zheng to listen to him by starting with Legalism.

……

Chapter 110 was all shot.

End of the month.

The study of the philosophy of mind has also entered its second half.

As is customary, Cao Ze told a slightly modified version of Journey to the West.

Afterwards, under the "reluctant" gazes of everyone, she left gracefully and went to Feixue Pavilion.

Inside Feixue Pavilion, Cao Ze stretched.

As we entered the latter half of October, the weather became increasingly cold.

The Snow Woman brought in a cup of warm wine.

"Sister Yafei, here you go."

Having learned her lesson, Xue Nu did not serve wine to Cao Ze immediately, but instead served wine to Ya Fei first.

Ya Fei took a sip and was very satisfied, finally getting some face from her older sister.

Cao Ze inquired, "Your Highness, Consort Ya, who will be attending the Hundred Schools of Thought Academy tomorrow?"

Ya Fei chuckled and said, "The first day of winter is an inauspicious day, so it's not appropriate to hold a grand meeting there. The academy will begin at the end of the first ten days of the month."

"As for those who have arrived in Handan, those we need to be wary of include Fu Nian of the Confucian school, Gongsun Long of the School of Names, Xiaoyaozi of the Daoist school, Wei Liao of the School of Military Strategy, Gongsun Yu of the School of Diplomacy, and... you."

Cao Ze nodded. According to the solar terms, the first day of the eleventh lunar month is winter, when the weather turns from cool to cold.

In the eyes of the ancients, winter was a time of annihilation, and the first day of the month, being the beginning of winter, was considered an inauspicious day.

"It seems difficult to win first place."

Cao Ze drank a cup of warm wine and sighed.

Ya Fei chuckled softly, "It seems that you are confident, young master?"

The Snow Maiden laughed and said, "Cao Ze will definitely win first place!"

Ya Fei snorted, "If Mr. Cao Ze wins, I'll send you out."

The Snow Woman shrank back, glanced at Cao Ze, and protested softly, "Can I choose who I want to be?"

Ya Fei sighed, rubbing her forehead. "My foolish student..."

Half an hour later.

After enjoying the hospitality of Xue Nu Ya Fei, Cao Ze carried two jars of Qinghua wine prepared by Xue Nu and walked briskly out of Fei Xue Pavilion.

Tomorrow is the day to deliver wine to Jing Ke again.

I'll also go and mooch a meal from the butcher.

Delicious food is not to be missed!

The next day.

Cao Ze, riding his donkey, took Jing Ni and her daughter, along with Li Wu, on a leisurely trip to Niushou Village for a delicious meal, right around lunchtime.

Thinking about how he had gone there three or four times this month and gained two pounds each time, Cao Ze couldn't help but sigh.

There's a reason why Gongsun Linglong is so fat.

You need to be careful.

He wants to find several more wives.

Jing Ke squatted on a wooden stake at the entrance of Niushou Village, gazing out of the village with his eyes barely blinking.

Upon seeing the donkey, Jing Ke charged out with a roar.

"Brother Cao Ze, you've finally arrived!"

Cao Ze, seeing that Jing Ke had hidden the wine jars, happily went to Lu Goujian's farmhouse.

The nameless swordsman was reading, while Lu was practicing his swordplay with the Han Guang sword.

Gongsun Long was playing chess with Wei Gongzi Mou under the tree.

When Lu Goujian saw Cao Ze enter, he chuckled and said, "You've brought wine to that brat Jing Ke again?"

"Yes, Brother Jing Ke really likes this kind of thing."

"Back then, I made many mistakes because of drinking, Jing Ke..."

Lu Goujian shook his head slightly, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Fatty made you Eight Treasure Chicken in a Bag today, come and try it."

Cao Ze's mouth watered. He had eaten this dish when he traveled to Shandong years ago, and it was a unique Shandong dish that he really wanted to try.

At noon, everyone gathered around to eat.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wei Mou and Gongsun Long took turns discussing philosophy with Cao Ze over food and drink.

Outside Niushou Village.

Wearing Qin Dynasty iron armor and a bronze mask, Yan Ri walked into the wild forest with a "clattering" sound.

Behind him followed Xuan Jian, his expression numb, who had once again become a killing machine.

Dozens of assassins from the Luo Wang organization then appeared, lurking in the surrounding area.

Donghuang Taiyi glanced at Yanri.

"Leader of the Sun, why make such a big fuss?"

Yan Ri said, "Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit."

"Are those behind His Majesty the Eastern Emperor the Star Soul Protector, and the three elders, Lord Yun Zhong and Shao Siming?"

Yan Ri thought to himself, "The Yin Yang School is indeed quite strong. In addition to Grandmaster Donghuang Taiyi, they also have a half-step Grandmaster and three first-class experts."

I should have known better than to take Xuanjian out.

Donghuang Taiyi said, "That's right. This time, I don't want Lu Goujian to escape again."

The black-and-white sisters exchanged a glance.

A dozen days ago, Donghuang Taiyi ordered them to return to the Goddess Peak of Wushan and report on all the major and minor events within the Zhao Kingdom.

It now appears that they intend to hunt down Lu Goujian, the former leader of the Mohist school and the Three-Handed Sword Demon, who is also the rival of the Yin-Yang School.

Yan Ri asked, "When does Your Majesty plan to make your move? Should we send someone to infiltrate Niushou Village and scout ahead?"

Donghuang Taiyi spoke calmly and confidently, saying, "Lu Goujian has been struck by my Six Souls Terror Curse and is already at his last gasp. Let's go straight for him, so as not to alert your men."

If it weren't for waiting for the sun to rise, he would have already wiped out Niushou Village.

As one of the few grandmasters in the martial arts world.

If Lu Goujian were at his peak and joined forces with Wuming to fight him, the outcome might be uncertain.

But now, he doesn't think the half-crippled Sword Demon and Sword Saint are his match.

Yan Ri chuckled: "Alright! After all, this place isn't far from Handan."

"On command, proceed!"

Dozens of assassins from the Luo Wang organization vanished instantly, heading towards Niushou Village.

Inside the village.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Cao Ze was teasing Xiao Yan'er.

Jingni, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

"Oh no! The Net has entered the village!"

All eyes froze.

The nameless man looked apologetic. "I didn't expect to be exposed after all."

Gongsun Long slammed his hand on the chessboard and said, "I want to see if the Net is truly an inescapable trap, daring to hunt down three of us Grandmasters at the same time!"

Gongzi Mou was furious. "Old Master Sun, are you doing this on purpose?"

He was about to win the game, but Gongsun Long overturned the chessboard!

Outrageous!

Gongsun Long snorted, "This was just an accident."

Gongzi Mou's face darkened. If he weren't outmatched, he would have kicked the old bastard a couple of times.

Cao Ze was speechless; the Luo Net was truly like a stubborn plaster.

However, considering that he had three Grandmasters and two half-step Grandmasters here, he silently mourned for Luo Wang for three seconds.

I hope Yan Ri and Xuan Jian can come together so we can just shoot them all.

Jing Ke picked up a sword and said excitedly, "I'll go kill a few first!"

After not fighting with anyone for more than a month, he almost thought he had really become a farmer.

Jing Ni did not act rashly and stayed by Cao Ze and Xiao Yan'er's side with Li Wu to prevent any accidents.

Jing Ke left quickly and returned quickly.

He was slashed in by a swordsman wearing a blue headband.

"The Eight Swords of Yue, Black and White Xuanjian?"

Wuming, wielding the Han Guang sword, blocked Xuan Jian's pursuit of Jing Ke.

Cao Ze chuckled. Xuan Jian was truly lucky; he had been rescued by the Luo Wang again.
