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

Xue Nu accepted Cao Ze's shuttlecock and was already eager to return to Fei Xue Pavilion to try it out in private.

She remained aloof and reserved, saying, "It's getting late. Sister Yafei is still waiting for me, so I'll be going now."

Cao Ze smiled and said, "See you later."

Being able to play with my childhood goddess for two or three hours felt great, and it lifted my spirits considerably.

Cao Ze's residence, Qingpingju, was two streets away from the royal palace, but not far from Feixuege, which was adjacent to the palace.

As Cao Ze leisurely made his way back to the courtyard, he suddenly saw that Xue Nu, who was almost at Fei Xue Pavilion, was being blocked by a group of people, who were clearly looking for trouble.

Auntie can tolerate this, but Uncle cannot!

……

Chapter 46 He's best at playing from behind.

The Snow Maiden held the feather shuttlecock Cao Ze had given her in her hand, her pretty face cold as she looked at Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian laughed heartily: "I couldn't find you at Feixue Pavilion, but I ran into you on the way out! Snow Maiden, isn't that a coincidence? How about coming to my residence?"

"Your Highness is too kind. Teacher Yafei is still waiting for me."

Zhao Qian spat and sneered, "Don't try to fool me with Zhao Ya. She caused me to be confined by my father for two whole months. I'll get my hands on her one day!"

The Snow Woman said softly, "She's your aunt!"

Zhao Qian sneered, "I dare not now, but when I become the Crown Prince and the King of Zhao, you'll see if I dare. Tonight, I'll start collecting some interest from you!"

The Snow Maiden shouted, "How dare you!"

"Hey! Get them!"

Xue Nu's pretty face darkened slightly. She couldn't let herself fall into Zhao Qian's hands no matter what; she had to find a way to leave.

Cao Ze witnessed everything from a short distance away. He already knew that this纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled brat) was Zhao Qian, arguably the most absurd King of Zhao in history. If Xue Nu fell into his hands, she would surely be humiliated.

No man could tolerate this!

Cao Ze glanced at the shadows near Feixue Pavilion, then curled his lip, thinking, "Is this kind of scheming meaningful?"

Don't you know what an unexpected surprise is?

After making up my mind.

Cao Ze took a step forward and kicked the guy who wanted to attack the Snow Woman to the ground, instantly rendering him unable to fight.

Who are you?

Zhao Qian roared, "Beat them! Beat them to death!"

Xue Nu's heart skipped a beat, and she wanted Cao Ze to leave quickly to find Sister Ya Fei, but Cao Ze gave her a reassuring look.

Then, Cao Ze punched the seven or eight thugs while muttering incantations.

"I'll teach you to bully men and women!"

"May the Heavenly Venerable grant you boundless blessings!"

"You've been oppressing the people!"

"May the Heavenly Venerable grant you boundless blessings!"

……

After dealing with the thugs, Cao Ze clasped his hands together, his body radiating golden light, and solemnly said, "May the Heavenly Venerable grant boundless blessings. Everyone, this is a blessing, and we should be grateful. No need to thank me."

The key to a hero rescuing a damsel in distress is being dashing!

He turned to the stunned Snow Woman and smiled, "Alright, it's nothing now."

Zhao Qian was furious when he saw his cronies lying on the ground. They had been so arrogant at lunch, but they had been beaten down in no time.

"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"

Cao Ze counted on his fingers and walked towards Zhao Qian with a chuckle, "Young man, why do you have to learn to abduct women all the time?"

Zhao Qian, though outwardly fierce, said weakly, "Do you know who I am? If you dare lay a hand on me, I will exterminate your entire clan!"

Cao Ze's face darkened. He was about to knock out Zhao Qian when Xue Nu stopped him.

"Cao Ze, don't make a move. If you hit him, there will be no way to clean up the mess."

Xue Nu looked anxious, truly afraid that Cao Ze would lose his temper, and with Sister Ya Fei around, it would be difficult to handle.

Zhao Qian, who was still trembling with fear, became arrogant upon hearing this.

"Kid, did you hear me? If you don't give me two today, I'll kill you."

Cao Ze chuckled. No wonder the Zhao Kingdom perished at the hands of this kid. There was absolutely no reason for it. He truly deserves to be called the most incompetent king in the history of the Zhao Kingdom.

He despises these kinds of trashy second-generation rich kids the most.

"One punch!"

"what?"

"Boom!"

Cao Ze's knuckles made intimate contact with Zhao Qian's face.

As expected, Zhao Qian's flight path in the air became a parabola.

Cao Ze took out a silk cloth and wiped the blood off his finger bone. Hmm, Zhao Qian's. Such a纨绔 (spoiled brat) always bleeds quite a bit.

The snow woman reluctantly lowered her arm, which she had just raised.

She quickly grabbed Cao Ze's arm and said, "Let's go find Sister Ya Fei right away."

Cao Ze patted the little hand that Xue Nu was holding and laughed, "No need, someone will come out."

The Snow Maiden was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked to the other side, where a handsome young nobleman, whose demeanor was several levels above Zhao Qian's, slowly walked over.

"His Royal Highness?"

Cao Ze sneered, "You've probably been used by this Crown Prince today."

The snow woman asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"Because of me, silly girl."

Cao Ze shrugged; he didn't quite believe it was a coincidence.

The world is not lacking in clever people, nor is it lacking in those who think they are clever.

I'm afraid that while I was playing games with the Snow Maiden in the thatched cottage, others started plotting against me.

No wonder that even under the fully-fledged Qin Shi Huang, they were able to raise an army in Dai and resist for six years.

That was a brilliant move, Prince Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia directed his servants to carry these people away and had his trusted men take Zhao Qian to receive medical treatment.

"Mr. Cao Ze, Miss Xue Nu, are you alright?"

Zhao Jia is handsome, has a gentle temperament, and speaks with an air of nobility.

The Snow Woman was naturally very intelligent, and after Cao Ze gave her some pointers, she already knew the general cause and effect of this coincidence.

But I still find it hard to believe. Zhao Jia has always been virtuous and upright, how could he scheme against someone like this?

Cao Ze said with a forced smile, "Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince, nothing has happened yet."

Zhao Jia gave a wry smile. He had seen it all along. The reason he waited was simply to wait for the conflict to break out so he could step in and help, and then take the opportunity to recruit Cao Ze.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ze acted unpredictably and beat Zhao Qian up.

He still has to clean up the mess; he's exhausted.

……

Because of this, Cao Ze had to postpone his plan to practice his skills with Jing Ni in bed that night.

At Zhao Jia's invitation, Xue Nu and he went to Fei Xue Pavilion again.

As for hitting Zhao Qian, he didn't care at all.

Even if Zhao Jia doesn't show up, as long as Consort Ya makes an appearance, and as long as Guo Kai and Empress Zhang still want Zhao Qian to be the crown prince, this matter won't escalate.

We also have to worry that Zhao Jia will make a big deal out of this.

After all, even if a prince is utterly worthless, he still has to appear outwardly virtuous.

Cao Ze said that this makes it very easy to fight.

However, we have to abandon the Guo Kai storyline, which has both good and bad aspects.

Next, we need to pay close attention to the He Shi Bi (He's Jade Disc).

Since the original parrot song can be found, there's no reason why he can't.

It wasn't long before Brother Zheng ran away from home, and he didn't have the time to follow the example of his predecessors and cultivate his reputation among the common people.

If you really can't find it, then try contacting Ya Fei.

There are many downsides, but he excels at playing from behind.

Zhao Jia personally brewed Cao Ze a cup of tea and took the initiative to tell him about what he had done that day.

With utmost sincerity, he said, "Please forgive Jia's scheming, sir, for making a fool of himself."

Cao Ze said, "Your Highness, there is no need for explanation. I am just a commoner."

Zhao Jia said solemnly, "Sir, you are a descendant of Cao Shu Zhenduo, son of King Wen. Why belittle yourself?"

Cao Ze: "..."

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhao Qian lay on the couch, yelling at Guo Kai, who had just been promoted to the top.

"I want revenge! I want that brat dead!"

Guo Kai frowned as he looked at Zhao Qian. Others would set their minds on learning at fifteen, but this kid was set on eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring at fifteen, just like his father.

No, he's even more outrageous than his father.
