During the Qin Dynasty, he brought chaos to the seven kingdoms.

Chapter 38 I'm Here to Read the Spring and Autumn Annals

"Brother Han, Brother Li, weren't you confined by the Master for ten days? You're out so soon?"

Cao Yuan, Han Fei, and Li Si went to Zuimenglou, chatting as they walked.

"The teacher has gone into seclusion."

Han Fei spoke lightly and with great composure.

Li Si honestly replied, "For some reason, our teacher is going into seclusion for an extended period of time, so my senior brother and I bid him farewell in advance and plan to return to our country."

Han Fei snorted, "Junior brother, why explain so much?"

Cao Yuan was both amused and exasperated, never expecting Han Fei to be so concerned about saving face.

During the day, the Drunken Dream Pavilion rarely has any guests.

It's very quiet.

However, Cao Yuan, Han Fei, and Li Si still requested a private room.

Each had their own ulterior motives.

"Brother Cao, I plan to travel to various countries before returning to Han. What about you? Will you stay in Qi?"

Han Fei got straight to the point.

He already knew that Cao Yuan had offended Qi Xiang Housheng. Although he didn't know how Cao Yuan managed to escape unscathed, he could deduce that Cao Yuan couldn't stay in Qi for long.

Even if Cao Yuan were the King of Qin.

Cao Yuan smiled and said, "Like you, I'll leave Qi after I finish some business. As for where I'll go... I haven't decided yet."

Li Si remained calm and watched his senior brother Han Fei make his move.

"That would be wonderful! How about we travel together to various countries and go to South Korea? With Brother Cao's talent, it wouldn't be difficult for him to become the Prime Minister of South Korea in the future."

Cao Yuan neither agreed nor refused.

"I'll consider going to South Korea."

He remembered that Korea had the Baiyue Treasure and the Azure Dragon Scroll, and wondered if they were related to the bronze treasure box.

Li Si paused slightly, and seeing Cao Yuan's serious expression, his eyes showed surprise.

What happened? Why didn't Cao Yuan refuse outright?

Li Si could no longer sit still.

"Brother Cao, what are your thoughts on the Qin state?"

Cao Yuan replied without hesitation: "The strongest nation in the world."

Li Si smiled. "That's right. So, I plan to go to Qin. Brother Cao, you can consider it."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see Cao Yuan's potential; given the right stage, he could rise to great heights.

Cao Yuan hesitated for a moment, but before he could speak, Han Fei suddenly said, "No."

Li Si asked, "Why?"

Han Fei smiled confidently.

"Junior brother, have you forgotten why Brother Cao clashed with Qi Xiang Hou Sheng that day?"

Li Si blurted out: "Chang'an Jun Chengjiao."

"Indeed, Brother Cao has offended not only Hou Sheng, but also Cheng Jiao. If Brother Cao goes to Qin, putting aside everything else, do you think Cheng Jiao will let Brother Cao off easily?"

Li Si frowned and pondered, "This matter is bad, but it is not unsolvable."

Han Fei seemed to have thought of something and asked, "How do we solve this?"

Li Si sat up straight and said, "Senior brother knows that junior brother has long been loyal to Qin, so he has a good understanding of Qin."

"So, Senior Brother may not know that Lord Chang'an Chengjiao is in a very bad situation right now, and he is only being kept in check by Empress Dowager Xia Ji. Once Empress Dowager Xia Ji, who is suffering from illness, passes away, Lü Buwei will definitely take action against Chengjiao's faction."

"Therefore, Brother Cao, if you go to Qin with me and become a retainer of Lü Buwei, Cheng Jiao will be powerless against you."

Han Fei raised an eyebrow slightly, confirming his suspicions.

The fact that Korea has survived to this day is largely due to the contributions of Queen Ha-hee, a woman of Korean descent.

He was unaware of how many transactions were involved.

Unfortunately, the Qin state is now ruled by Lü Buwei, who has many conflicts with Empress Dowager Xia Ji and Cheng Jiao's faction. It is likely that, as my junior brother said, Cheng Jiao's chances of survival are slim.

Cao Yuan smiled.

"Brother Li, Brother Han, let's not talk about these things anymore. Today may be our farewell feast. Why talk about these troublesome matters?"

"How about we just drink and talk about romance?"

Han Fei raised his cup and laughed, "Of course it's excellent."

Li Si also raised his glass, full of confidence. He believed that Cao Yuan would make a wise choice and would not choose a path of certain death like his senior brother.

The three men were pulling at the woman and the wine.

After drinking too much, Han Fei began to boast about his younger sister, describing her as incredibly beautiful.

"Is Brother Han's sister his biological sister?"

Cao Yuan suddenly asked.

Han Fei's drunken face stiffened slightly. "Well, she's my younger sister, my own flesh and blood."

Cao Yuan said enthusiastically, "Then we must get to know each other then."

"That's... really unnecessary."

"Absolutely necessary! Brother Han's sister is my sister!"

Han Fei snorted, "I say, Brother Cao, you're really going too far. You already have a wife and concubines, yet you still covet my sister. Isn't that going too far?"

Cao Yuan said in a serious tone, "Brother Han, you are wrong. They are not my wife and concubines. They are just used to disguise my identity."

"You know that several assassins from the Luo Wang organization died in my shop last night. They were actually there to hunt them down."

"Sigh! It's all my fault for taking them in out of pity. Now they're clinging to me, I need to find a wife and get married as soon as possible to cut ties with them."

Han Fei and Li Si both looked at Cao Yuan in surprise.

But no one doubted anything, because in this era, almost no one would joke about this.

"...No wonder Brother Cao kept saying that neither his wife nor his concubine had entered the family yet."

Li Si was greatly impressed, realizing he had truly learned a great deal.

"Brother Han, my future happiness and reputation depend entirely on you."

Cao Yuan held Han Fei's hand with a sincere expression.

Han Fei looked utterly dejected.

But he was more worried about his younger sister.

He suddenly realized that Cao Yuan might actually choose to go to South Korea.

Cao Yuan was just as dissolute as him.

If he encounters Honglian then, wouldn't his beautiful young sister be completely devoured...?

terrible!

He now regrets boasting about his sister.

No! Cao Yuan absolutely cannot be allowed to see his sister!

At least until Cao Yuan gets married, he cannot see her!

"...Okay, leave it to me."

Han Fei calmly agreed, having already devised a plan.

At worst, I can find a few more beautiful women for Cao Yuan myself, which is better than letting my sister fall into a terrible predicament.

He knows himself and people like Cao Yuan all too well.

They are definitely not a good match.

He would never abandon the entire sea of ​​flowers for any one woman.

……

"Hehe, Mr. Cao Yuan is here without even informing Mi'er. How rude of me..."

A soft, seductive voice rang out from outside.

The door to the private room was opened, and a woman with alluring manners and a mature charm walked in.

The moment she entered, her eyes fell on Cao Yuan, her gaze moist and seemingly glowing.

Han Fei said with an ambiguous expression, "Brother Cao, I think Miss Tian Mi is a good choice. Why don't you go for it?"

Cao Yuan glanced at Han Fei sideways.

You brother-in-law, you're even pushing your own brother into the fire for your sister's sake!

"Miss Tian Mi, please take a seat."

Cao Yuan extended an invitation.

As soon as Tian Mi sat down, she showed Cao Yuan extraordinary enthusiasm.

"I wonder what brings Mr. Cao Yuan to Zuimenglou? Is it to drink Mi'er's precious wine, or... is he missing Mi'er?"

Tian Mi winked her beautiful eyes playfully, exuding irresistible charm, and used a little bit of seductive skill.

"To be honest, I came here to study the Spring and Autumn Annals."

Cao Yuan smiled faintly. Now that he was able to cultivate, he was not affected by Tian Mi's seductive arts at all. On the contrary, he even had the leisure to joke around.

"Spring and Autumn Period?"

Tian Mi, Han Fei, and Li Si were all bewildered.

Is this the Spring and Autumn Annals they read?
