Chapter 46 Six countries unite
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 cleanly 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 the Gen Master. 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 beloved A-Man? If so, don't hesitate to draw your sword next time, otherwise you'll 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 murder training...?
What kind of net is this, chasing and killing...?
What the heck...?
Aren't you assassins from the Luo Wang organization?
Why do they all look so normal, like such 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 firm, 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, a hint of anger in her voice, 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. We 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 were lying to me about helping me open a dance hall?"
Cao Yuan denied it, saying, "Of course not, but when it will open and what kind of event will be held requires careful discussion and in-depth communication between us."
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.
A dozen or so gold coins are more than enough to rent a house.
Smelling the aroma of food, Cao Yuan parked his donkey cart in front of a restaurant.
The wine here is the best; it's definitely high-class.
"Let's go eat."
He ate dry rations day and night, enduring wind and rain for more than half a month. His stomach was already protesting, craving meat, alcohol, and excitement.
"...I'm not going."
Cao Yuan squinted and glanced at the Snow Woman's flat belly.
"From the moment I met you until now, you haven't eaten or drunk a single drop of water. Are you trying to become a fairy?"
The Snow Woman gritted her teeth, about to make a definitive statement and leave herself no way out, when she suddenly heard her stomach rumble.
"Wow, Snow Woman's stomach is growling."
Xiao Mengjiang said in surprise.
The snow maiden's fair face flushed red, and she felt ashamed and indignant several times.
I just can't understand why my stomach started growling all of a sudden, right after Cao Yuan spoke.
This is too much...
The Snow Maiden was dejected and got out of the car listlessly, following closely behind Cao Yuan.
His face was etched with the words "I have no will to live."
Jing Ni glanced sideways at Cao Yuan.
Cao Yuan chuckled softly, "Doing good deeds anonymously, we can't let people starve, can we?"
He knew he couldn't hide it from Jing Ni.
That's right, the Snow Woman's stomach growled; it was him who did it.
This is just a small application of the principle that words can be followed by laws; it's just a drop in the ocean.
Of course, the Snow Woman had been hungry for a day and a night, and his little bit of power was just a trigger.
Jingni paused after hearing Cao Yuan's explanation, then stared speechlessly at Cao Yuan's smiling face.
Is there really such a good deed?
……
The Yan King's Palace was located slightly to the west of the capital.
It was built on a rammed earth platform, overlooking the entire city.
The palace's eaves and brackets are decorated with fierce beast totems unique to the north, rather than the cloud patterns and auspicious beasts commonly seen in the Central Plains, exuding a sense of fierceness and wildness.
Although its scale was not as imposing as the Qin King's Palace, it still possessed its own majesty.
The permafrost and cold weather make it all the more desolate and tragic.
In a corner of the eastern palace of this royal palace, a young man was kneeling before a desk, sighing softly.
"Your Highness, it's time to leave."
The eunuch who served Prince Yan urged him on.
Yan Dan gave a bitter smile, closed the book, and glanced longingly at the decorations in the room.
In the end, his father trusted his uncle, Yanchunjun, and banished him from the palace, moving him outside.
That's fine then.
This alliance.
Because Qi Xianghou Sheng was assassinated by assassins from the Luo Wang organization and died in his residence, King Jian of Qi, in a fit of rage, announced that he would join the alliance.
Although only 30,000 troops were sent, fewer than the 50,000 sent by Han, it was better than nothing, and more importantly, it depended on Qi's attitude.
Furthermore, Lord Xinling of Wei took action and eliminated Wei Yong, after which Wei announced its participation in the alliance.
The alliance of six states is a golden opportunity.
The opportunity to destroy Qin is right before our eyes.
but!
No matter what!
His father suspected him of having ulterior motives and handed over the command of the army to General Yan Yi, recommended by his uncle, Lord Yanchun.
As a result, he was banished from the palace.
That Yan Yi is a good-for-nothing, a gluttonous and ambitious man; how could he possibly shoulder the heavy responsibility of forming an alliance?
Yan Yi will only hinder the allied forces and even cause the alliance to fail at the last minute.
If this attack on Qin fails and fails to severely damage the Qin state...
The State of Yan is doomed...
Yan Dan stood on the carriage, looking back at the majestic and grand palace. His passionate heart gradually cooled, and his face became gloomy.
There was never a moment when he envied Ying Zheng so much.
Although Ying Zheng was powerless in the government due to the presence of Lü Buwei, at least he was not hampered by his incompetent father.
He is still the crown prince.
If his father died...
Yan Dan was startled, her heart pounded like a drum, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
How could he think that way?
"Back to the manor, hurry back to the manor!"
Yan Dan shouted at the coachman to cover up the fear and pounding in her heart.
But once the thought arises, it's hard to shake it off.
Even if my father doesn't die, as long as my uncle, Lord Yanchun, dies, will I also be able to...?
Does he still have a chance?
