Chapter 3 Another Poison Trick(1/2)
Huan Qi's reinforcements were indeed the key point in the struggle between the Xianyang royal family and the powerful ministers. If Xiaopan had such an elite force, anyone who made any changes would have to worry about their existence.
Since the soldiers of the reinforcement force are selected from outside, trained intensively, and form their own system, they are not as easy to be bribed or infiltrated as the imperial guards, imperial guards, or imperial cavalry.
Therefore, Lu Buwei tried every means, both soft and hard, to place people into the reinforcements.
Fortunately, he chose Meng Wu and Meng Tian, and he also wanted to please their father, Meng Ao.
Xiaopan, Xiang Shaolong and others naturally fall into their trap.
When Huan Qi proposed in the palace that two lieutenants should be added, people from Lu Buwei's party immediately strongly recommended the Meng brothers. Xiaopan pretended to be coquettish and only "helplessly" agreed after going through a lot of trouble.
Miao Du was caught off guard and found it difficult to find subordinates with better qualifications and military exploits than these two men, so he could only sigh at his disappointment. This deepened his suspicion of Lu Buwei.
Xiang Shaolong secretly chuckled. Now his only wish is to live a peaceful and happy life for a few years after Black Dragon is born. When Xiaopan ascends the throne and Lu Buwei has run out of energy, he will wipe out the two parties of Lu and Mu in one fell swoop.
Then he retired quietly.
The reason why he was so determined to die was not only because he was tired of the war and couldn't bear to see the Qin Dynasty fall to the six kingdoms, but there was also another reason that even he didn't want to think about clearly, and that was Xiaopan's deterioration.
In history, Qin Shihuang's actions were both brutal and extravagant. If he had still stayed by Xiaopan's side, how could he have endured it?
So the only way is to keep out of sight.
He is affecting history, and history is also affecting him. The cause and effect relationship is even unclear to God.
After the morning court meeting, Lu Danggu was beaming with joy, and Xiaopan and others were also secretly happy.
Xiang Shaolong was summoned to the palace by Xiaopan, and after studying the details of the birth of the black dragon with Lord Changping, Li Si and others, he left the palace.
When passing Qin's house, he couldn't help but sneak in to look for her. He learned that Qin Qing was instructing his servants to pack their bags. When he saw him coming, he pulled him aside and said with tears: "I was about to send someone to find you, Huayang
Madam has fallen ill, I have to rush to Bashu immediately, alas."
Xiang Shaolong said in confusion: "You have to leave in such a hurry."
Qin Qing leaned into his arms and said: "Madam, you have been so kind to me. Over the years, her body has become weaker and weaker, and it is rare for her to be able to survive until now. So why should Qin Qing stay with her in her last days?"
.
Once everything is over, I will come back to you, please don't say anything that makes others more sad, okay?"
Xiang Shaolong regained his composure and asked, "Does the Crown Prince know?"
Qin Qing said: "I just informed him and the Queen Mother."
What else could Xiang Shaolong have to say? After repeated urging, he personally sent her on her way. When she was more than ten miles outside the city, she said goodbye reluctantly. When she returned to Xianyang City, it was already the time when the lights were on. Thinking of Miao Du's date, she felt helpless.
He sighed and hurried to the appointment.
Stepping into Zui Feng Tower, Wu Fu greeted him and personally led him to the other courtyard where Miao Du ordered. He said respectfully, "Master Nei Shi has been here long ago."
Xiang Shaolong asked smoothly: "Who else is there?"
Wu Fu said: "Most of them are regular visitors to Mr. Nei Shi. Only Mr. Pu is a bit surprised."
Xiang Shaolong stopped in shock and lost his voice: "Pu Hu is here?"
At this time, the two of them were still on the path in the garden, with maids and guests passing by from time to time. Wu Fu pulled Xiang Shaolong into the forest. When he saw that there was no one else on the left and right except the iron guard, he whispered: "General, can you listen?
Wu Fu, can you say a few words from the bottom of your heart?"
Xiang Shaolong cursed in his heart, believing that people like Wu Fu had sincere words would be either idiots or idiots.
Of course, he pretended to be moved and said: "Master Wu, please feel free to speak out." At the same time, he gestured and asked Jing Shan and others to monitor the surroundings.
Wu Fu suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Wu Fu is willing to follow you, and from now on you will only be loyal to you."
Xiang Shaolong felt dumbfounded. After all, Wu Fu was considered a respectable person. He was the boss of the largest brothel in Xianyang. He surrendered to him so humbly that he really didn't know what to do.
He hurriedly helped him up and said, "Master Wu, please don't do this."
Unexpectedly, Wu Fu refused to get up. This guy was also very good at acting. He burst into tears and said: "Wu Fu regrets having harmed General Xiang. He only hopes to do something for General Xiang in the future."
, if the adults don’t agree, then don’t be so lenient... just kill the villain with one knife."
Xiang Shaolong didn't understand his mentality.
A villain like Wu Fu is like grass growing on the wall. If the wind is strong, it will be blown towards Xing Fang.
In the past, he thought that the real person was Lu Buwei, so he relied on him to frame him Xiang Shaolong, but now he gradually realized that he was not easy to mess with. A few days ago, he suddenly realized that he and the prince were so close that they went to a brothel together and there was a prince.
In addition, he defeated Guan Zhongxie and was promoted to general. If this continued, by the time Lu Buwei was defeated, he Wu Fu would be driven out of Xianyang at least, and at worst, his relatives would be implicated. In this kind of situation,
Under such circumstances, the only way is to express allegiance to Xiang Shaolong.
It can also be seen that what Wu Fu bought was that the political and military groups centered on small caps could ultimately win.
Therefore, although Wu Fu is just a person who rose from the market, he is far more far-sighted than many people.
Xiang Shaolong pondered for a while, then said seriously: "If I, Xiang Shaolong, regard the poster as one of my own, the poster must prove your sincerity with actions, and you must have no different intentions in the future, otherwise I will never let you go.
.”
Wu Fu kowtowed and said: "General, please forgive me. After all, I, Wu Fu, am still from Qin. I was just confused at that time, thinking that Father Zhong was the prince's favorite, but the general is... but he is..."
Xiang Shaolong had deceived people so many times, how could he immediately believe him after just a few words? He felt annoyed and shouted: "Stand up and talk to me later"
Wu Fu still kowtowed and said, "This little man is risking his own life to expose Miao Du's conspiracy to the general."
Xiang Shaolong had known that he must have a bargaining chip in his hand, so he would surrender to him like this, but he still didn't guess that it was related to Miao Du, so he half-believed and half-suspected: "If Miao Du has a conspiracy, how can I teach you to know about it?"
Wu Fu said: "Please allow me to explain this matter one by one."
Xiang Shaolong shouted: "If you don't stand up, I will turn around and leave immediately."
Wu Fu jumped up in fright.
Xiang Shaolong took him to the railing of a small bridge in the center of the garden and sat down, saying, "Don't tell a lie, otherwise you won't see the sun tomorrow."
Wu Fu said shyly: "How dare a small person deceive an adult...general?"
After a pause, Wu Fu continued: "Recently, a Qi man named Mao Jiao came to the Neishi Mansion. This man is very famous, especially for his famous works on the study of medicine."
Xiang Shaolong was shocked. Isn't Mao Jiao Xiaopan's traitor? Why was he implicated? Could it be that he was a double agent?
Seeing that he was silent, Wu Fu guessed the reason and thought that he didn't believe it. He strengthened his tone and said, "This man once served as the imperial physician of the King of Qi. He is a man of real ability and knowledge."
Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "Does Miao Du want him to use medicine to harm me? That might be more difficult than assassinating me."
Wu Fu said in a deep voice: "Miao's poison is aimed at harming the prince."
Xiang Shaolong lost his voice and said: "What?"
Wu Fu said respectfully: "Since I met the prince that day, I have never forgotten the prince's aura of concealing himself as the overlord of the world. As soon as the prince's eyes glanced at the villain, the villain seemed to be able to hide nothing from him. The most rare thing is that
When faced with a beautiful woman, he would never be as anxious as Lu Buwei, Miao Du and others. So when Meimei came back from accompanying Miao Du last night, she proudly told the villain that Miao Du would soon be replaced by Lu Buwei. Although
There is nothing more to say, but I have taken it to heart."
Xiang Shaolong felt that he was gradually being convinced by this person who had always looked down upon him.
The only doubt is that Miao Du is still young. If Xiao Pan is killed at this time, it will not be beneficial to him and Zhu Ji, and it will also be detrimental to Lu Buwei. Regardless of Lu Buwei or Zhu Ji, the source of power is always Xiao Pan.
Xiang Shaolong said calmly: "If Miao Du wanted to do such a thing to punish the three clans, how could he tell anyone so easily?"
Wu Fu said: "Meimei and Miao Du have a very close relationship. They have known each other for many years. However, due to Lu Buwei's presence, they could only sneak around in the past. Now, even though they have become internal historians, they still can't fight against Lu Buwei. In addition, Lu Buwei has been having trouble with Meimei recently."
It’s natural for Miao Du to become anxious because of my concubine’s wishes and reveal some secrets to her.”
Xiang Shaolong had long heard about the relationship between Miao Du and Shan Meimeiwen: he believed it a few percent more in his heart. He frowned and said, "What good will it do Miao Du if he kills the prince?"
Wu Fu said solemnly: "To kill the prince, there is no need to use medicine masters like Mao Jiao. There are many servants around the prince who are Miao Du. The wonderful thing is that if anything happens to the prince, everyone will blame Lu Buwei.
Go on your body."
Xiang Shaolong nodded and said: "This is indeed the case."
Seeing that Xiang Shaolong began to believe him, Wu Fu became excited, but kept his voice as low as possible and said: "After Meimei finished saying those words that aroused the suspicion of the villain, she went back to the small building. The villain knows that she has never been able to hide her thoughts, so she will definitely
She had a secret conversation with her confidant, Xiaopi Xiuju, and eavesdropped all night, and finally found some clues."
Seeing Xiang Shaolong's eyes widening as he looked at him, Wu Fu added awkwardly: "Master Xiang, please don't be offended. Hiding copper pipes for listening in Aunt Hong's room is a common practice in brothels, and
They don't even know it.
Fortunately, this villain was able to discover Miao Du's despicable conspiracy."
Xiang Shaolong was stunned when he heard this. If Wu Fu hadn't said it himself, he would have guessed that someone might be listening attentively while he was having a romantic relationship with Zui Feng.
Wu Fu continued: "Meimei told Xiuju that Miao poisoned Namaojiao to prepare a medicine. As long as it is taken many times in a row, people will become drowsy and sleepy all day long, with good and bad times. As long as it is given to the prince, he will use it."
In the next few days, it will be difficult for the prince to handle the affairs of the court. At that time, the queen mother has great power. Miao Du should not be able to win the wind or rain the rain."
Xiang Shaolong was suddenly sweating profusely.
This strategy is indeed very vicious. The most subtle thing is that even if someone is suspicious, they will only be suspicious of Lu Buwei, because Lu Buwei has a criminal record.
Just when he was frightened, Wu Fu said again: "Actually, Meimei is also somewhat interested in adults. It was only because adults were not attracted to her that she turned from love to hate. She was raised by a villain and has been arrogant since she was a child."
Ao, no one will take her seriously, and she will not be willing to redeem her body, but now it seems that she is completely devoted to Miao Du."
Xiang Shaolong was still in the mood to figure out whether Shan Meimei was interested in him or not. He asked casually: "Is Yang Yu involved with Xu Shang? Isn't she a woman who takes care of evil?"
Wu Fu sneered and said: "Guan Zhongxie has always only used women as tools to vent his desires, so if you have time to take care of Yang Yu. Xiao Yu has always been passionate, I think she is more interesting to adults than to Xu Shang. If adults have
