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

The matter was handled very smoothly. As soon as Lian Cheng heard the name of Guo Xiangguo, he surrendered without hesitation and was so obedient that it was almost embarrassing for Guo Xiangguo to gag him.

Guo Kai frowned upon seeing this sudden scene. What was going on?

Before Xiong Da could step forward to claim his credit...

Lian Cheng, who had been holding it in, suddenly let out a loud howl.

"Guo Kai, what have we Lian family done to you? You drove my grandfather away, and then kidnapped me, trying to take the life of the only heir of the Lian family!"

His words silenced the entire room.

The banquet was not large, but everyone inside was a minister or general, an elite of the Zhao court.

Although most of them were close to or had allied themselves with Guo Kai, there were also people like Ya Fei and Li Zuoche who were at odds with Guo Kai and were just there to watch the show.

Guo Kai's face turned ashen. He subconsciously clutched his chest, his heart pounding so hard he felt like he was about to erupt like a volcano, but he had to hold it in to avoid falling into a trap.

He glared at Han Cang, never expecting Han Cang to be so treacherous. He had just warned him during the day, and now Han Cang was causing him trouble at the banquet that very night.

Did he really think that because of Zhao Yan's favor, he couldn't kill him?

"How dare they kidnap General Lian Po's only grandson! Guards, drag him out and chop him up!"

The smile on Xiong Da's face gradually froze and disappeared. What happened?

Didn't Han Cang say that Prime Minister Guo ordered him to tie up Lian Cheng and kill him to celebrate at the banquet?

how……

Before Xiong Da could figure it out, a dark shadow appeared in front of him.

With a single chop to the throat, he severed Xiong Da's throat and, in the blink of an eye, carried Xiong Da out of the main room.

Guo Kai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly untied Lian Cheng himself, trying to minimize the impact.

Cao Ze witnessed this scene and realized that the mysterious man was definitely a top-notch expert, no less skilled than General Bi Qiansha.

What impressed him even more was Guo Kai's reaction; he acted decisively and swiftly.

Indeed, no one who can become a god of war is simple.

Lian Cheng stared with his mouth agape. He had forgotten most of what Cao Ze and Che'er had taught him. He was already a bit tongue-tied, and now he was even more at a loss for words.

When Ya Fei saw this, she smiled helplessly. If things continued like this, it wouldn't just be Guo Kai who would lose face.

He could only get up himself, signaling Cao Ze and Li Zuoche to follow, and walked to Lian Cheng's side, smiling as he said, "Let's go, don't just stand here in a daze."

Leaving the Prime Minister's residence.

Lian Cheng patted his head, looking at Cao Ze and Che'er somewhat embarrassed, "Oh dear, I'm still too clumsy with words, there are so many things I haven't said yet."

Cao Ze smiled and said, "One sentence is enough. Tomorrow, have the Tiger Gang members play the victim in the streets and alleys, and make up some short stories, such as including what you didn't say tonight."

Lian Cheng's eyes lit up. "Okay, okay, I'll do it tomorrow. I'll make sure Guo Kai is thoroughly disgusted!"

Meanwhile, Guo Kai, who was in the mansion, was in a terrible mood.

Looking at the quiet main room, he waved his hand irritably: "What are you all thinking about! Keep the music playing and keep dancing!"

Soon, the air in the Prime Minister's residence was filled with a joyful atmosphere again.

After returning to Feixue Pavilion, Cao Ze, Lian Cheng, and Li Zuoche stayed for a while, tinkered with some things, and then left together.

After Li Zuoche returned to the general's mansion, Cao Ze inquired about Lian Cheng.

"Brother Cheng, do you know about the He Shi Bi jade?"

"I know, that thing was really rare. My old man used to carry around the disc every day."

Cao Ze's eyes lit up. "Do you know where it is?"

Lian Cheng said, "Who knows? The old man died out there."

It was clear that Lian Cheng still harbored some resentment towards Lian Po.

After all, it was because Guo Kai had instigated King Zhao to remove Lian Po from his military post and replace him with Yue Cheng.

Ultimately, it was Lian Po's bad temper that led him to fail to understand that a lack of patience could ruin a grand plan. He directly led his troops to attack Yue Cheng, completely overwhelming Yue Cheng and causing him to flee the country in fear.

This gave Guo Kai a pretext to criticize him, and Lian Po was thus defeated by Wei, resulting in a lose-lose situation for both sides.

Cao Ze wanted to ask more questions.

Lian Cheng said excitedly, "I'm going back to the gang to cause some trouble first. Let's have a drink sometime, brother."

Cao Ze smiled helplessly, "Okay."

Lian Cheng, who had just taken a few steps away, suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, the old man left behind a bunch of things when he ran away in a hurry back then. Maybe you'll find what you're looking for. Come over another day and I'll take you to see it."

Cao Ze was greatly relieved; he felt that his help to this brother today had not been in vain.

It was worth the effort he had just put in to help him refine how to portray Guo Kai.

Thinking about the shocking news about Guo Kai's UC posts that would spread in Handan tomorrow, Cao Ze happily returned to his small courtyard, Qingping Residence.

Chapter 44 A Trivial Skill, How Dared to Show Off Before an Expert

The following day, Handan's "Top Breaking News"—

"Shocking! Men arrested during a late-night banquet at the Prime Minister's residence, all because..."

"An insider revealed: Last night, a strongman locked up a man at the Prime Minister's residence, and the reason is quite surprising!"

"Blushing with embarrassment! Is this a sign of moral decay or a distortion of human nature?!"

……

Inside Feixue Pavilion, Consort Ya looked at the bizarre intelligence reports that had been compiled and laughed so hard she could barely stand up straight.

No wonder Cao Ze and the others were being so secretive last night, not letting her know.

That's hilarious!

The Snow Maiden also grinned, her beautiful eyes crinkling. She knew Lian Cheng had asked Cao Ze for help in devising a way to annoy Guo Kai, but she hadn't expected it to be like this.

So funny!

It made her want to write a few edits for fun.

After laughing, Xue Nu said, "Um, Sister Ya Fei, I'd like to go to the thatched cottage to see the children today."

Ya Fei smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead. See if there's anything in the pavilion that you can send over that you no longer need."

She knew that the Snow Woman would visit the orphans every now and then, and she had accompanied the Snow Woman a few times, so she felt at ease.

Snow Maiden said, "Thank you, Sister Yafei."

At this moment, Cao Ze, who was at Wuqi Caotang, smiled and took out twenty gold coins and placed them on the table.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Gongliang."

Gongliang Wuqi shook the money bag and heard a sound.

He laughed and said, "I take people's money and do their bidding. I am honest and trustworthy, and I never break my promises."

He admired Cao Ze, who had made Handan City bustling with activity in just one morning. Cao Ze was merely adding fuel to the fire. With Lian Cheng as the main figure, he wasn't afraid of Guo Kai targeting him.

Cao Ze casually asked, "Is there any other news about the He Shi Bi?"

Gongliang Wuqi hesitated and said, "Yes, there are two rumors besides those about Lian Po. One is that it is somewhere in the Zhao King's palace, and the other is that it is in the tomb of King Huiwen."

"Who spread the rumor? Is it even possible?"

Gongliang Wuqi shook his head and said, "These are all old rumors from decades ago, who knows? After all, King Huiwen died too quickly, and it's possible that the He Shi Bi is hidden somewhere in the Zhao palace, or was used as a burial object."

Cao Ze was not disappointed and figured he should find some time to visit Lian Cheng's residence.

Just as he was about to leave, two light blue ice feathers stuck in front of his feet.

Then, Yingge walked in with a cold expression and glanced at Gongliang Wuqi.

"I'm telling you, what's been going on these past two days? I'm honest and upright, how dare you lie to me!"

"Nonsense! I, Gongliang, have never broken my promise in my life..."

Gongliang Wuqi suddenly froze.

Seeing the few small white birds standing by the broken window, he cursed himself for being careless and forgetting the special skills of the Hundred Birds Killer Group!

No wonder the locust didn't realize that the parrot had been watching it all along!

It seems that Ji Wuye has long harbored murderous intent towards me!

Cao Ze picked up two white feathers that gleamed with a cold aura from in front of him, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

He smiled at Yingge and said, "Littering is not a good habit. Take your Ice Feather with you."

Cao Ze imbued the white feather with the power of Yin Five Thunders and struck Yingge.

Parrot snorted lightly, "A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your skills before an expert!"

He then threw out two more bird feather talismans, which clashed with Cao Ze's white feathers.

Cao Ze suddenly felt a chill and realized that Ying Ge's internal strength was deeper than his own.

Of the body's 100 meridians and 12 regular meridians, at least five of the ten meridians have been opened, leaving only the last two meridians remaining.

He had only just opened up the Taiyin Lung Meridian of Hand-He-One.

However, in this world, strength is never determined by who has more internal energy.

On the back of Yingge's hand, there was a scratch from the Yin Five Thunder Power. Although it was quickly neutralized, it still left a mark.

Yingge clenched her slender, scratched fist and said coldly, "You're looking for the He Shi Bi jade?"

Cao Ze readily admitted, "That's right."

Gongliang Wuqi stared intently at Yingge, struggling with whether or not to take action to keep her here.

Feihuang is only a second-rate expert, so it will be difficult for him to capture Yingge unless he cooperates with Cao Ze.

But if he were to make a move and let Parrot escape, he would definitely face assassination and retaliation from all the birds. Even if he was confident in his ability to deal with it, he was still somewhat afraid.

Yingge said calmly, "I advise you not to get involved. You don't know what you're facing."
