When Xiang Shaolong was in a dilemma, Queen Jing stood up suddenly. When he thought that the noble lady was going to walk away, she moved lightly to the window sill, let out a long breath, and stared blankly at the flowers and plants under the sun outside the window. Xiang Shaolong followed Tingxie and leaned against the window sill, looking closely at her chiseled profile.
Although her face was pink, her pretty eyes showed the look of being intoxicated in the passing memories, flickering and dimming, immersed in the joy, anger, sorrow and joy that could not help but fill her heart.
Xiang Shaolong was sure that the medicine was working, arousing her usually hidden and suppressed emotions, which made her forget her original intention of calling Xiang Shaolong here to force him to frame Zhao Ya.
Now, Empress Zhao's condition is a bit like being hypnotized, or taking drugs that can affect the mind. She has shown reactions that she would not normally have, and her self-control and vigilance have dropped significantly.
Xiang Shaolong boldly reached over, caressed her soft and boneless shoulders, and said softly: "What is Empress Jing thinking about?"
Queen Jing seemed unaware of anything, shook her head lightly, and said faintly: "I hate him."
Xiang Shaolong said in astonishment: "Who offended Queen Jing? Hey, do you want to have another glass of wine?"
Queen Jing said displeasedly: "Isn't it more uncomfortable to drink when you are unhappy?" She glanced at him without turning her head.
Xiang Shaolong felt guilty for daring to offend her. He let go of his hand around Xiang's shoulders, nodded and sighed: "Yes, the water will flow even more when you cut off the knife, and the wine will make you sad, and it will turn into tears of lovesickness."
Unconsciously, he recited a beautiful line from the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai that has been passed down through the ages. However, due to memory limitations, he changed the next line and became inconsistent.
Queen Jing murmured: "The water will flow even more when you cut off the knife, and the wine will turn into tears of lovesickness." Suddenly, her delicate body shook violently, and when she looked at him, a pair of phoenix eyes shone with cold light.
Xiang Shaolong's hands and feet immediately became cold, and he cursed secretly that he was pretending to be a rough guy at this moment, how could he say it clearly?
Queen Jing's eyes narrowed in coldness, and she sighed and said: "I didn't expect you to be able to say such a profound and touching poem, and the rhyme is so sweet and touching. After so many years, I am still the first to feel my heart beat." After saying this, she had a pretty face. More red.
Xiang Shaolong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she must have thought of Lord Xinling just now, and her talent and beauty were unfamiliar. It seemed that Lord Xinling must have hurt her very seriously, and she still could not recover after many years. She Hanging out with Zhao Mu might also be an act of revenge. From this point of view, she should have no idea about Han Chuang's collusion with Lord Xinling.
What Xinlingjun got was her true love, but Zhao Mu gave her perhaps perverted satisfaction and excitement.
After Queen Jing looked at him for a long time, her expression became gentler and she whispered: "Dong Kuang, you are a very special person."
Xiang Shaolong tentatively stretched out his hand and took her long, slender, soft and white jade hand.
Queen Jing turned around and let her noble jade hand fall into the man's grasp.
When Xiang Shaolong was about to pull her into his arms, Queen Jing withdrew her jade hand in shock, her beautiful eyes showed an awakened look, and she said coldly: "Does General Dong know why I have summoned you here?"
Xiang Shaolong groaned in his heart, knowing that the medicine had worn off, the woman regained her usual clarity, nodded and said: "If you have anything to do with Empress Jing, just ask me, I will definitely not disappoint Empress Jing."
Xiang Shaolong left Han Chuang's residence and went to find Zhao Mu, but the traitor was not in the residence. After he left to talk, he hurried back to the command post. After telling Teng Yi what had happened, he sighed: "This is called too late. Now, I could only rely on the military talisman to delay the matter. I thought that if I could arouse this woman's passion and give her the nourishment of male and female desire, I might be able to release Zhao Mu's control over her, but I didn't know... Sigh..."
Sheng Yi smiled and said: "She hasn't handed over the evidence that framed Mrs. Ya to you yet. Wouldn't it be better to add more weight by then?"
Xiang Shaolong shook his head and said: "First of all, she may not have sex with me like this again, and secondly, I am not used to using this method to deal with women. Anyway, let's advise Ya'er to leave Handan first, so that we have one less thing to worry about.
"
Teng Yi said: "Ji Cainv just sent someone to inform us that she informed Xiaocheng about her return to Wei tomorrow morning. According to me, her departure will cause shock and speculation, especially Li Yuan and Long Yangjun.
.”
Of course Xiang Shaolong understood what he meant.
A selfish and unscrupulous person like Li Yuan would not want to lose the delicious food that comes to his lips. But Long Yangjun would suspect that Ji Yanran's purpose in leaving Zhao was to join him, Xiang Shaolong.
So Ji Yanran's departure will never be smooth sailing.
Teng Yi said again: "You don't have to worry about Yanran. I have already made proper arrangements. Just now I sent someone to secretly send the Tian sisters to the pasture. We can return to Xianyang with Mr. Zou tomorrow."
Xiang Shaolong was worried: "Then how do you deal with Long Yangjun and Li Yuan?"
Sheng Yi said: "Long Yangjun will never dare to do anything to Ji Cai Nu. He will only send people to monitor her secretly. At best, he will notify the generals in Wei to pay close attention to the movements of Cai Nu. As long as we don't let his people have the opportunity to return to Wei,
Then everything will be fine.”
Xiang Shaolong nodded in praise. Now that he has the military power, it is really easy to get rid of the people sent by Lord Long Yang to report the news.
Teng Yi continued: "According to my estimation, Li Yuanwen is unlikely to come to the army, but he can't send his men out of the city to do such despicable things. He can only ask Tian Dan for help. I will personally lead a team of Zhao soldiers to escort Ji
Talented woman and Mr. Zou will set up a false trap when they arrive outside the city, causing them to change their route to South Korea, and then all problems will be solved."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Yanran is by no means a weakling. She has enough intelligence and strength to protect herself. I think it is very appropriate for my eldest brother to handle this matter. I also want you to monitor Zhao Mingxiong and others here. Everyone here
We must pay special attention to the people on Zhao Mingxiong’s list.”
Teng Yi said: "There is one thing that I still can't figure out. Why does Zhao Mu need to lead all the troops into the city? It will only give people a clue. If Queen Jing really only obeys his orders, once Xiaocheng dies, the power will be lost."
If it falls into his hands, it is not difficult to get rid of Li Mu and Lian Po, let alone Guo Kaichengxu's generation. According to me, he has always been suspicious of Queen Jing, and you are just a pawn he wants to use. The person he likes should be
Zhao Mingxiong, not you, an outsider. Later, he could falsely accuse you of opening the door to let the Qi people into the city. He would even use this to remove Tian Dan and Li Yuan in one fell swoop. No one knows better than Zhao Mu the relationship between Qi and Chu towards the Three Jin Dynasties.
So ambitious."
Xiang Shaolong pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Second Brother's words are very reasonable. Zhao Mu will never be satisfied with my independent and arbitrary style. However, the situation is too complicated. Tian Dan and Li Yuan also hid something from Zhao Mu."
Mu's conspiracy, now we can only block it with soldiers, cover it with water and soil, and seize an opportunity to kidnap Zhao Mu immediately, so the most urgent thing at the moment is to persuade Ya'er to leave Handan first, then everything will be easier to handle."
At this time, the servants came to report, and Zhao Mu came to see him personally. Both of them were shocked.
After Sheng Yi avoided it, the personal guards welcomed Zhao Mu in. Accompanying him was Zhao Mo's son Yan Ping, whom he had not seen for a long time, and eight close confidants and masters whom Xiang Shaolong had met.
Zhao Mu was obviously very satisfied that he was so obedient and told him everything about Queen Jing. He smiled and said: "Whenever you get the military talisman, you can deal with Zhao Ya. Queen Jing is temporarily delayed. Hum, I have arranged everything.
The entire Zhao Kingdom can be taken over at any time. The only problem now is that Xiaocheng is very well guarded and the imperial guards are still firmly in his hands. However, if the civil servants are not successful, they must be sent to the military before Li Mu comes back.
He returns to heaven."
Xiang Shaolong suddenly realized after hearing this and understood Zhao Mu's trick.
"Wen's" naturally refers to the method of poisoning to make Xiao look like he died of illness. This is the best strategy.
Zhao Mu and Queen Jing must have been trying to do this, but they still failed at this moment. Xiaocheng knew Zhao Mu's method of using medicine, and of course he would not let him succeed so easily.
"Military" means launching a mutiny, storming into the palace, killing Xiaocheng, and then killing Queen Jing's son.
This was the last resort. At that time, he would have to rely on the Qi people as his backing to deal with Li Mu, who was returning with his troops.
Zhao Mu lowered his voice and said: "No matter whether it is civil or military affairs, I have come up with a perfect strategy. I will tell you later that you see Xiaocheng more these days. His ears are very soft. If you say a few more words, he might
The power of dispatching troops and generals is entirely handed over to you."
After a pause, he said: "I heard that Ji Cainv is going back to Wei, earlier than Lord Long Yang. Do you know about this?"
Xiang Shaolong pretended to be shocked and said, "What?"
Zhao Mu said with a smile: "This is good news for us. Li Yuan will definitely not let go of this fairy who came from heaven. If he chases and uses violence in person, we will have a chance to kill him. We can also deduce it afterwards.
He was killed by the sword of a beautiful woman, and he became a ghost and became a romantic man."
Xiang Shaolong was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood why Xiao Cheng did not dare to act rashly against Zhao Mu until now, because this traitor did have his own ruthless methods.
After arriving at Madam's Mansion, Zhao Ya took him to the unforgettable small building.
Xiang Shaolong saw her beautiful eyes were red and swollen, showing that she had just cried, and asked curiously: "What happened?"
Zhao Ya fell into his arms and sobbed: "I just had a quarrel with Brother Wang."
After Xiang Shaolong persuaded her to calm down, Zhao Yacai said: "After you told me this morning about the secret collusion between Queen Jing and Zhao Mu, I couldn't help but go to the palace to see Brother Wang and ask him to be careful about the people around him. Who knew
But he thought I blamed him for hooking up with Guo Kai, and got very angry. He was angry and said that he doesn't know how to know people and take advantage of them, but he said that I still can't forget you."
Xiang Shaolong yelled that something was wrong and asked nervously: "Then did you tell anything about Queen Jing?"
Zhao Ya shook her head and sighed: "What's the use of saying it? There is no real evidence. He will only think that Ya'er wants to frame that woman."
Xiang Shaolong came here originally to persuade her to leave Zhao, but now seeing her miserable appearance, how could he say it out loud? He was speechless for a moment.
Zhao Ya raised her head and said with a wry smile: "This quarrel is really timely. As soon as Ya'er came back here, Brother Wang's order came and ordered Ya'er's representative to go to Daliang. He knew that he had to leave immediately, so he could keep Miss Yanran as his companion.
Son."
Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said: "What are you doing in Daliang? Aren't you afraid of Lord Xinling?"
Zhao Ya stretched out her hand to caress his cheek and said lovingly: It's a good thing you still worry about me, otherwise Ya'er would rather commit suicide. When I arrived in Daliang this time, I wanted the fourth princess to be sent to marry the prince of Wei. On behalf of
Your Qian'er, but it is actually a transaction, because the marriage contract specified that a copy of "The Secret Records of Lu Gong" is required. One of Long Yangjun's missions here is to negotiate this marriage contract."
Mr. Xiang asked in confusion: "Why do you, brother Wang, give in?"
Zhao Ya sighed: "He has no choice. The two countries of Qi and Chu put a lot of pressure on him. Without the support of Wei Anli, how could he cope with it by relying on South Korea alone? He had wanted to send someone there for a long time, but they knew you would come back.
He refused to agree and now we are at odds with each other. He will no longer care whether Ya'er is willing or not."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Then you sneak away to Xianyang on the way and get rid of it."
Zhao Ya shook her head sadly and said: "Ya'er wants to die, but this matter is of great importance. I have to complete this matter no matter what, so that I can go to Xianyang with peace of mind. By then, Zhao Ya will no longer owe Brother Wang any family debt. Alas.
Brother Wang was not like this before, but since Mrs. Ni's tragic death, his temper has turned bad."
Xiang Shaolong thought of Zhao Ni who had passed away, and his heart dropped, and he sighed: "Mr. Xinling hates you to the core, and he might try to harm you."
After Zhao Ya was silent for a while, she said softly: "Does Xiang Lang know why the relationship between Queen Jing and Ya'er is so bad?"
Xiang Shaolong was shocked and said: "Is it for Lord Xinling?"
Zhao Ya nodded in shame and said quietly: "I didn't want to mention that matter anymore. Lord Xinling must have lingering feelings for her, otherwise his men wouldn't have taken action knowing that she was not in the palace, and Long
Yang Jun has personally guaranteed our safety, and he will set off with us."
Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said: "Didn't your brother Wang say goodbye to him the day after tomorrow? How could he leave tomorrow?"
Zhao Ya smiled bitterly and said: "Don't you understand yet? He didn't believe that Ji Cainv would really go back to Daliang, so he followed her example and used her excuse to go to the funeral and go with your most beautiful woman. Ji Cainv still didn't know about this. Alas, Young Master
Long Yanran, how can she be good?"
Xiang Shaolong's head was throbbing. Something that was originally very simple suddenly became extremely complicated. Ji Yanran would definitely blame herself to death if she knew about this.
There were so many people and facts that he had to deal with that it was overwhelming.
Zhao Ya sighed again: "Thinking that we will be separated for a while, and we don't know if we will see each other again, Ya'er doesn't want to live anymore. Why is it always so painful to be a human being?"
Xiang Shaolong reluctantly suppressed his worries, raised his spirits and asked, "Does Xiaocheng have any other sons?"
Zhao Ya shook her head and said: "There is only one prince, so no matter how others say bad things about that woman, they can't sway Brother Wang."
Xiang Shaolong asked: "Does he have other brothers?"
Zhao Ya looked at him in astonishment, and after a while she said: "Of course it's Mr. Wucheng. Wucheng is only a few days away from the Qi border and can be reached in two days by horse. Don't you suspect that he is colluding with Tian Dan?"
Shaolong's face became solemn and he said: "I still don't believe that Tian Dan would be so willing to help Zhao Mu seize power. If I were Tian Dan, there is no reason to believe that Zhao Mu can control Queen Jing, and Queen Jing will not easily remove her and support Zhao Guo.
The two famous generals. So as long as he persuades Wu Jun, he can take this opportunity to kill Zhao Mujing and the prince all at once, then put the responsibility on Zhao Mu, and use Wu Chengjun to kill Li Mu and Lian
Possibly, then your Great Zhao is in his pocket. So in this case, he must try to get rid of me first. With his power and shrewdness, he will never believe that I am willing to sacrifice my life for him."
Zhao Ya thought for a moment and then said with a change of expression: "Shaolong, what you said makes sense. This brother of mine is indeed a foolish and stubborn man who is greedy for profit. What should I do?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Ignore whether this matter is true or not, Tian Dan can frame you, and we can frame him. Don't tell anyone about this, I am sure I can handle it. Put aside all worries now, tomorrow
Just leave here obediently and try to stay in Daliang to wait for news about me, and don’t come back.”
Zhao Ya bit her lip and said, "Aren't you going to accompany me tonight?"
Xiang Shaolong kissed her cheek and said with a smile: "The days ahead are long and these few days are the key to success. I really shouldn't indulge in pleasure. Do you know that someone is watching you secretly?"
Immediately, he told her what happened to Yan Ping. After comforting her for a while, he immediately went to the palace to see Xiaocheng.
Unexpectedly, the chamberlain said that King Xiaocheng was not feeling well and had gone back to the harem to rest. Xiang Shaolong was worried and simply went to see Queen Jing.
Suddenly he realized that the success or failure of this Handan battle was tied to the cunning Queen of Zhao.
