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

Huang Xie said, “The three families of Qu, Jing, and Zhao have always checked and balanced each other. This time, they suddenly reached a consensus and joined the alliance. Your Majesty has to be wary to avoid the Jin state… I suggest that Your Majesty join the alliance, become the leader of the alliance, gain prestige, strengthen royal power, and avoid being further restrained by the three families of Qu, Jing, and Zhao.”

"Lord Chancellor, you've worked so hard these past years to mediate between the royal family and the three families of Qu Jingzhao; otherwise, the state of Chu..."

Xiong Yuan sighed with regret.

He then composed himself and said in a deep voice, "Everything shall be done as the Prime Minister wishes. The State of Chu shall serve as the chief state in the alliance, the Prime Minister shall be the military supervisor, and Xiang Yan, the patriarch of the Xiang clan, shall be appointed as the pillar of state commander to lead the Chu army. Together with the strength of the five states, we shall attack the State of Qin!"

When Huang Xie heard that Xiong Yuan had sent Xiang Yan, he understood that Xiong Yuan had brought out the resources of the Chu royal family, intending to take advantage of the alliance to eliminate some domestic threats.

The crown prince was young and ignorant, while the king was old and frail.

If Xiong Yuan were to suddenly collapse, the State of Chu would inevitably fall into turmoil, and might even be in danger of being torn apart.

Is it a gamble to survive long enough, or a gamble to win by forming an alliance? Only by betting on both sides can victory be decided.

"Your subject will certainly not fail in your mission!"

Chapter 22 Shen Leping, the Assassin of the Luo Wang Network

Pang Nuan, carrying Huang Xie's letter, rushed back to the State of Zhao.

The five countries reached a complete consensus on forming an alliance.

The State of Chu was appointed as the leader of the alliance, with the King of Chu as the leader, Lord Chunshen Huang Xie as the military supervisor, and the famous general Pang Nuan as the commander of the allied forces. They agreed to meet at Anyi, the former capital of Wei, to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and swear an oath of blood.

It was now March, and nations were preparing for war, with the world in turmoil.

King Zeng of Wei, mindful of his late father's dying wish, decided to heed Lord Xinling's advice and not allow him to command the army.

However, due to the assassination of General Dian Qingzhi by the Luo Wang organization and the betrayal of the Grand Minister of Works Wei Yong, there was no one available. Wei Zeng, heeding the advice of Empress Dowager Le Ling, appointed Chancellor Wei Zhan as commander-in-chief, leading an army of 100,000.

King Xi of Yan appointed his son, Crown Prince Dan, as commander-in-chief, leading an army of 100,000.

King Han of South Korea appointed Marquis Bai Yifei, known as the Blood-Clad Marquis, as commander-in-chief, leading an army of 100,000.

King Yan of Zhao appointed the veteran general Pang Nuan as commander-in-chief, leading an army of 150,000.

King Xiong Yuan of Chu appointed the newly appointed Pillar of State Xiang Yan as commander-in-chief, leading an army of 150,000.

The five states, with a combined army of 600,000, marched towards Anyi, the former capital of Wei.

After receiving the intelligence, Qin Chancellor Lü Buwei calculated that the five states would likely launch a joint attack on Qin around April.

With this thought in mind, Lü Buwei said, "As for the wolf clan, the wolf king is dead, and Jing Ni has not yet returned to Luo Wang?"

Old Master Zheng said, "Reporting to Prime Minister Lü, we don't know the reason yet, but Jingni is still in the wolf clan. We have already sent Shen Leping to investigate."

Shen Leping is one of the leaders of the demons and monsters. He is of average strength, but his intelligence and survival skills are outstanding.

Not long ago, the Suihou Pearl, one of the two treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period that had been lost for hundreds of years, was found and stored in the Prime Minister's residence, which made Prime Minister Lü happy for several days.

Since there's nothing to do right now, and considering the possibility that Jing Ni might defect, it's more appropriate for Shen Leping to take charge.

Lu Buwei said slowly, "Regardless of Jing Ni's situation, the Wolf King of the Wolf Clan is dead, and the Wolf Clan cannot cooperate with the Five Kingdoms Alliance."

Because the alliance of the five states was so powerful, Lord Changping submitted a memorial to the King of Qin, who then ordered Meng Ao to return to the pass and work with Wang Jian to devise a plan to deal with the alliance.

Therefore, for him, the wolf clan posed no threat, so whether or not they cooperated with the five-nation alliance was meaningless.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the war of alliance ends, the position of Qin's Grand General will likely fall into Meng Ao's hands.

Lü Buwei pondered for a few moments, hesitating and undecided.

Wang Jian's attitude remains ambiguous, while Meng Ao, who is close to the Qin royal family, has returned from the border.

He was left wondering how to place bets in a way that would benefit his scheme.

To truly seize control of the Qin military was extremely difficult...

In March, the temperature on the grasslands has risen somewhat, but there is still snow covering the ground.

Cao Ze lived a "boring and simple" life in the wolf clan's palace.

He occasionally trains the online humble queen of the wolf clan and regularly gives Jingni a mental boost; he lives a fulfilling life.

Cao Ze only became alert when he saw a stranger dressed in the uniform of a member of the Luo Wang gang in the courtyard.

Jingni is still alive, yet someone was able to get in; this is no ordinary person.

What struck him as odd was that the man wasn't covering his face and was wearing rather modern glasses, which looked vaguely familiar.

Who are you?

Cao Ze glanced at Jing Ni who had come out, and seeing that Jing Ni's expression remained unchanged, he felt somewhat relieved.

Shen Leping chuckled and said carelessly, "Me? I'm Shen Leping from the Luo Wang! Young brother, you must be Cao Ze, the descendant of Cao Gui, a military strategist, who killed An Lulu and helped the Wolf King's daughter ascend to the throne, right?"

Cao Ze was slightly taken aback, then suddenly remembered that in The Legend of Qin, there was indeed an assassin named Shen Leping who looked exactly like the director of Qin's Time.

I glanced at Shen Leping's loose, black, white and gray hair, which gave him a very artistic look.

However, the fact that he was able to investigate him so thoroughly within the wolf clan so quickly explains why he became the head of intelligence for the Luo Wang organization.

"good."

Shen Leping gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you're awesome! Not only are you a master at fighting, but you also managed to get your hands on Jing Ni. I'm truly impressed! Could you teach me?"

Jing Ni said calmly, "Shen Leping, I didn't expect it to be you."

She had originally planned to try to deceive Yan Ri, but now it seems there's no need to make a fool of herself.

Shen Leping feigned profundity and said, "A sword that is idle for too long will lose its edge. Lord Jingni, go back, you cannot escape the net."

Jing Ni said coldly, "You'd better get lost before I change my mind!"

Seeing that Jing Ni did not make a move directly, Cao Ze knew that Shen Leping was no ordinary person.

Shen Leping reverted to his original form, "Let me guess, you didn't choose to defect because you're pregnant with this young man's child, did you?"

"Brother, you're awesome! That was an amazing move!"

Cao Ze coughed lightly: "Brother, take my advice, don't do stupid things."

Shen Leping shrugged and said, "Alright, the investigation is complete, we can report back."

"To be honest, investigating this is quite boring. We might as well continue searching for the remaining two treasures from the Spring and Autumn Period, the He Shi Bi."

"I'll treat you to a drink sometime, bro, hehe."

After saying that, Shen Leping turned into a phantom and disappeared from the spot.

Cao Ze seemed to be deep in thought. "Speed ​​is his specialty. No wonder he dares to be so reckless."

Jingni glanced around and, after confirming that Shen Leping had left, whispered, "Your affair can no longer be kept secret."

Cao Ze didn't care; he never even considered that he could avoid being discovered by the Luo Wang organization.

"Do you know this Shen Leping?"

Jing Ni nodded slightly. "He is one of the intelligence leaders of the demons and monsters, and also the one whose real name and appearance are known to most of the Luo Wang people. His strength is average, but his speed is extremely fast. It is said that he once escaped unscathed while being chased by a grandmaster."

"Hehe, that's quite unique."

There are quite a few talented people in the Luo Wang organization. Considering that the spirited young man Zhao Gao is still leading a group of non-mainstream people, he can only express his understanding.

Jingni said, "We need to make plans as soon as possible."

Cao Ze nodded: "It's already March, the temperature is slowly rising, and most of the snow will probably melt by April, then we can drive away."

He already knew from the envoy sent by the Zhao state to the Wolf Clan royal court that the five states would unite to attack Qin in April, which would be just in time.

She glanced at Jingni's six-month-old belly.

Judging by the timeline, I should give birth in a little over three months, so time is a bit tight.

Fortunately, Jingni is exceptionally strong and can withstand long journeys even while pregnant; otherwise, it would have been difficult.

"I'm going to see Hu Ji."

Why would you want to see her?

"Get some travel expenses."

Cao Ze felt a little guilty. He was about to leave, and the Hu sisters might be lonely for a long time. He felt obligated to help them fill their time before then.

"No need to go."

Jingni calmly replied, "I have enough money for all my expenses."

"Forehead……"

Cao Ze was caught off guard; he hadn't expected that his wife, Jing Ni, was actually a wealthy woman.

Jingni was, after all, a pregnant woman awaiting childbirth, so he had to suppress his ulterior motives.

"That's great, let's cultivate."

Cao Ze laughed nonchalantly. "If I don't want to go, I don't want to go. What's the big deal? It's not like I've never eaten meat before!"

For the next month, Cao Ze worked almost non-stop.

They seized every opportunity to put their theoretical knowledge into practice on the Hu Ji Manyu sisters.

I also shared some quotes from contemporary Casanovas to see how they go, and to build up my experience for exploring the charms of beauties from different countries.

He knew it would be effective, but he didn't expect it to be so effective.

As a result, Hu Ji and Manyu, who had originally been having a great time with him and had been conquered by him in real combat, fell for him again.

She was so infatuated with him that she felt restless if she didn't see him for a day or hear him say a few words. This attracted Jingni's frequent, dangerous glances as she watched Hu Ji or Manyu approach.

Cao Ze reflected deeply on the matter.

The combination of modern Avery physiology and Neptune psychology is a bit too overpowering for women of this era; use it with caution unless absolutely necessary.

Well, being too outstanding isn't always a good thing; you also have to be careful about the potential for destructiveness.
