Chapter 3 Murder in the Night(1/2)

After Tian Dan entered the dormitory, he was escorted by the two brothers Liu Zhongxia and Liu Zhongshi. He came straight to the bedside and said kindly: "He has an aura that dominates the world. He is even more vigilant. He dare not say anything wrong."

In a word, after giving a salute, he said: "Due to the absurd life and excessive drinking and debauchery recently, I only soaked in the river water for a while, and then I was hit by the cold. Oh, Mr. Tian, ​​please sit down."

Tian Dan smiled and shook his head and said: "I like to stand and talk a lot of the time. Look at Brother Dong's shining eyes, how can he be a drunken person? He just used too much strength for a while, so he is susceptible to dampness and cold."

Xiang Shaolong knew that it was difficult to lie in front of this person, so he smiled genuinely and said: "It seems like this."

After Tian Dan looked at him intently for a while, he said calmly: "Are the sons under Brother Dong trained by Brother Dong?" When he said this, Xiang Shaolong immediately knew that he had forced his way through the city gate that day to force Xiao Cheng.

When the king expressed his stance, this person must have been watching from the sidelines. He was stunned, knowing that he was suspicious, but he said calmly: "If you want to raise horses, you must first prevent others from stealing them. There are many barbarians in the south, so I spend every day

Train them all to be on guard."

Tian Dan pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "If Brother Dong can train our Daqi soldiers to be as brave and fearless elites as the men under Brother Dong, what will the tiger and wolf Qin have to fear?" Xiang Shao

Long was relieved, it turned out that Tian Dan took a fancy to his own merits and secretly exclaimed that he was awesome.

Xiang Shaolong's greatest strength is that he brought the special forces tactics to the Warring States era.

Tian Dan immediately caught on to this advantage.

After the two looked at each other for a moment, Xiang Shaolong closed his eyes and opened them after a while. He looked at Tian Dan who was staring at him and said, "I understand, Mr. Tian, ​​please give Dong some time." Tian Dan.

I didn't expect him to be so frank and direct, so I was shocked, and immediately said happily: "I understand that Brother Dong is a loyal person, otherwise he would not risk his life to save Lord Long Yang. Anyone else in that situation would just do it on his own

Run for your life.”

Xiang Shaolong pretended to frown in pain due to the wound, shook his head and said: "At that time, I never thought about anything else. I only knew that we should work together to cope with the crisis."

Tian Dan's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "I heard from Lord Long Yang that Brother Dong had already realized it at that time. I wonder why Brother Dong had such foresight?" Xiang Shaolong was confused by his gaze and questions.

Feeling uncomfortable, he wanted to leave quickly, pretending to be tired, and said calmly: "Perhaps I have been around horses for a long time, and I have tainted their keen sense of spirituality. In fact, whenever a big disaster comes, or even the weather suddenly changes,

From birds and beasts to snakes and ants, they all behaved strangely."

After all, Xiang Shaolong is not a prisoner, so he can't keep asking questions.

Tian Dan sighed: "Brother Dong is indeed an extraordinary person. The leader of this sneak attack did not know what bad luck he had. He met Brother Dong and failed. With Brother Dong's talent, King Kaolie of Chu might be able to see it.

You missed me, but how could Chunshen Lord Huang Xie let you go so easily?" Although he seemed to be praising Xiang Shaolong, he was actually pressing forward step by step, vowing to find out the details of the other party.

Xiang Shaolong secretly screamed that something was wrong. This man was extremely intelligent. If he accidentally grabbed his tail, it would be over. He smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid Chun Shenjun can't even remember what I look like. I can't let go of anything."

Let it go? Dong has long lost heart towards the Chu people and doesn’t want to think of them anymore.”

This time it was Tian Dan's turn to scream secretly. Xiang Shaolong's "homely" answers made him feel that this person was unpredictable and elusive. He nodded and said: "Chu people are short-sighted and only seek comfort in front of them.

It is indeed not worth mentioning that it is not worth mentioning that it has repeatedly made mistakes. But if the Chu State falls into Li Yuan's control, what situation does Brother Dong think will happen?" Xiang Shaolong snorted coldly and muttered: "Li Yuan is here.

He is unkind, narrow-minded, indulges in drinking and debauchery, and relies on nepotism. What great things can he accomplish?" Tian Dan's eyes shot out like lightning, fixed on his face, and said with a dumb smile: "Brother Dong

I have indeed seen people, so how can Tian believe that you are just a person who is willing to raise horses?"

Xiang Shaolong's entire spine was filled with coldness. He coughed dryly and said, "Xiang Tian praised Dong too much."

Tian Dan said solemnly: "If Brother Dong has the ambition to manage the world, he should not stay in the dying land of Zhao State. He should be a bastard and set his ambition thousands of miles away. Brother Dong is a smart man, so he should

It’s the intention of Akita.”

Xiang Shaolong knew that he was still just trying to recruit him, so he felt relieved, slumped down on the pillow, sighed, but said nothing.

Although Tian Dan was an eloquent person, he was helpless against him. When he lost, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Dong, what is there that you have to hide?" Xiang Shaolong pretended to be working hard and sat up a little higher, leaning on the couch with his forehead in his hands and thinking.

He said: "It's not because my late father left me to return to Zhao to set up a ranch. Life and death are important, and I don't care much about many things. It's just that I felt like old friends when I met Tian Xiang, and I was grateful for the kindness of meeting Tian Xiang, so I thought of doing something better.

After thinking about it, I hope Mr. Tian will understand my difficulties."

If he confessed like this, Tian Dan realized that it would be difficult to force him to express his position immediately. After taking a deep breath, Qi Feng pointed out: "The sneak attacker must have nothing to do with Xiang Shaolong."

Xiang Shaolong was taken aback and pretended to be stupid: "What is Mr. Tian's insight?" Tian Dan took a step forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I hope Brother Dong can set foot in Qi Kingdom one day, and Mr. Tian will be above

I’d like to treat you as a guest and have a good rest for two days. When Brother Dong recovers, I hope to go to Brother Dong’s ranch.”

He actually avoided answering Xiang Shaolong's questions and left like that. Xiang Shaolong was so tired that he was full of questions. He didn't know what advanced ideas this gentleman had.

During dinner, everyone was worried about the upcoming assassination attempt, which was of great importance, and the atmosphere was not warm.

After Zhao Zhi ate some casually, he put down his chopsticks and watched Xiang Shaolong eat happily.

Jing Jun was the only one who looked particularly excited. He teased Zhao Zhi and said, "Sister Zhi, how will you gain strength if you don't eat enough?" Zhao Zhi whispered: "I'm not hungry?"

Shanrou cursed in a low voice: "It's really useless. It's not like someone is here to assassinate you. Tian Zhen and Tian Feng looked restless. At this time, Tian Zhen and Tian Feng came over to add wine to everyone. Wu Zhuo stopped him and said: "It's not appropriate to drink tonight" and turned to Mr. Xiang.

Long smiled and said: "Long Yangjun sent someone to bring two large pots of wine, one is medicinal wine and the other is tonic wine. I think my third brother is in trouble now."

Xiang Shaolong was greatly troubled by Long Yangjun's gratitude and care, and smiled bitterly but was speechless. Shanrou snorted coldly: "Isn't it a dead end to let him be slaughtered by others? I have to risk my life to save him, which makes me troubled all over."

Zhao Zhi said in panic: "Sister"

Shanrou glared at her and said, "You only know how to respond."

Xiang Shaolong and Wu Jing could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

Shanrou patted her belly, stretched out, and said in a rough voice: "Don't miss out on me in tonight's actions. Now, I'll go and have a good sleep first. How about you prepare a pair for me?"

I want the best of those wall-flying and wall-climbing things."

While everyone was stunned, they just did as they were told and went back to their room to sleep. Sister Tian hurriedly separated one person to serve her.

Zhao Zhizhan said to everyone tremblingly: "My lords, there are many, don't blame Sister Rou, she..." Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Zhizhi, don't worry, no one will really blame her."

Wu Zhuo nodded and said: "She is indeed a master who is accustomed to assassination. She knows how to rest and relax as much as possible before taking action. We should learn from her.

"At this time, Wu Guo arrived with Pu Bu's partner Liu Chao. Everyone who had been waiting for the news was overjoyed and asked him to sit down.

After briefly expressing his feelings about parting, Liu Chao said: "After receiving the notice from Pu Bu, I immediately contacted the most reliable brothers currently working in Lecheng Mansion. After some hard work, I finally got some clues."

Everyone listened with great joy.

Liu Chao said: "Lecheng is a very cautious person. He also does all kinds of bad things and is afraid of people risking their lives for revenge, so he lives in secret and is protected by a large number of experts when he comes in and out. Even now, our brothers can still break into his inner circle.

Circle □.”

Jing Jun said in astonishment: "Didn't you say you have some clues?" Liu Chao said: "That's usually the case, but the situation in Handan City has been tense these two days. Le Cheng mobilized a large number of generals from the government to join his bodyguards.

, so we also have two brothers sneaking in, otherwise we would really have no face to see Master Xiang."

Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "He seems to be afraid that I will deal with him."

Liu Chao said in astonishment: "Master Xiang has a deep hatred for him, so naturally he will die."

After losing this time, Xiang Shaolong asked curiously: "What direct hatred does he have between him and me?" Liu Chao was stunned and said: "What? Master Xiang didn't know that Shu'er was responsible for the death of him and Zhao Mu? He still said it afterwards?

He talks freely and boasts that he has played with Mr. Xiang’s woman."

Xiang Shaolong was shocked and asked: "What?" Wu Zhuo was afraid that he would be too excited, so he asked Liu Chao after a few words: "Where is the Le Cheng Club tonight?" Liu Chao said: "He has been here these days for

Regarding city defense issues, he spent most of his time at the command post next to the east gate and rarely went home. In fact, he wished he could not go back to the General's Mansion."

Xiang Shaolong suppressed the grief and anger in his heart, but when he thought of the tragic death of Shu'er, his blood surged up and he said in a deep voice: "What is he afraid of?" Liu Chao said: "Mrs. Le is the sister of Zhao Ya who was admitted to the imperial examination.

Sister, she is very powerful, Le Cheng is a little afraid of her, and even if she is fooling around outside, she has to hide it from her."

Zhao Zhi asked worriedly: "If he still stays at the command post tonight, what chance do we have?" Liu Chao said: "He also has three other residences to accommodate the newly acquired women and the women given to him by others.

Ji concubine, this person is cruel and lustful, loves to torture beautiful women, and has made countless women crippled or dead for him. Recently, a minister in Handan offended King Xiaocheng, and Lecheng was responsible for confiscating the family and killing the clan. He secretly kept two of his concubines.

He is a beautiful concubine and is ready to enjoy her. He has not had time to do such a sinful thing in the past two days, so we estimate that he will not be able to resist sneaking away in the past two nights to indulge in his lust."

Xiang Shaolong suddenly understood, and now he understood the reason for Zhu Ji's resentment towards Le Cheng, but now even without Zhu Ji's instructions, he would not let Le Cheng go.

Wu Zhuo asked again about everything about Le Cheng, including the location of the Cangjiao Villa, the situation of the general's personal guards, and the relevant details. Liu Chao answered them in detail one by one. After Wu Zhuo finished asking, he asked

Xiang Shaolong praised Liu Chao and said, "Brother Liu is indeed amazing. It's obvious that he has been working hard all the time."

Liu Chao said modestly: "Since the trip to Daliang, none of us brothers are willing to sacrifice their lives for Lord Xiang. In our eyes, there is no hero in the world who can compare with Lord Xiang."

Xiang Shaolong regained his composure, nodded and said: "After this incident is over, you will follow me back to Xianyang and enjoy the blessings together. No more polite words."

Liu Chao was overjoyed and thanked him.

Xiang Shaolong personally sent him out and told him to order his brothers who were among Le Cheng's personal guards to find an excuse tonight and not accompany him before returning to the inner house.

Wu Zhuo and others went to prepare for tonight's action, but only Zhao Zhi and the beautiful pair of Yue country sisters were taken down.

Xiang Shaolong calmed down and thought of Shu'er, who was so ill-fated. His heart dropped like a lead and he felt very uncomfortable.

After returning to Handan, he had always been exposed to the friendly and amiable side of Le Passenger. Although he knew it was false, he never had any direct hatred. Now of course everything has changed, and he wished he could tear this traitor into pieces. This The death of this species is actually beneficial and harmless to mankind.

What Xiang Shaolong dislikes most about this era is his attitude of treating women as playthings and slaves. Powerful people such as Zhao Ya and others still depend on men for survival in the final analysis.

People's rights should come from relatively objective and fair legal protection. Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Li Si and Han Feizi of Legalism. Can I try to influence them so that the rule of law can replace Confucianism, which specializes in the rule of man.

But if you think about it carefully, as long as the monarchy is supreme, the true rule of law will always be a mirror image and have no reality at all.

Zhao Zhi came up to him and held his arm and said, "Master Dong, your face looks ugly now. I'm really worried."

Xiang Shaolong was stunned in his heart. He was in such a state that he was not suitable for an assassination mission, but he could not resolve the emotional agitation caused by Shu Er.

He put his arms around Zhao Zhi's waist and said softly: "Zhi Zhi will stay here tonight and wait for me to come back."

Zhao Zhi was shocked and said: "Ah, if someone wants to be by your side, don't underestimate her swordsmanship, okay?" Xiang Shaolong moved his hand down, slapped her pink buttocks twice, and said seriously: "You are very skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship, but you have never tried to kill someone. That is a completely different matter. Just listen to me. Do you understand?" Zhao Zhi shuddered when he thought of killing people, and he bowed his head and was speechless. .

Xiang Shaolong suddenly remembered the wonderful method of relaxation, and leaned into her ear and said: "Please come to the room and wait for me. You are not allowed to have half a piece of clothing on you. I will come in and make love with you immediately. Do you hear me?" Zhao Zhi was ashamed and happy. He cried out, escaped from his arms, and ran into the room without daring to look at him.
