Xiang Shaolong sent Ji Yanran and Zou Yan to the Empress Dowager's Palace, found Xiao Pan and Wang Ben, and after having the two of them fight in the martial arts training ground next to the inner court, he asked them to attack him at the same time.
The two boys were so excited that they raised their wooden swords to attack him. It seemed that they looked alike. Especially Xiao Wang Ben, who inherited Nai's father's amazing magical power, had a good foundation in martial arts, and liked to take risks, so he was wrong.
Xiang Shaolong is indeed very difficult to deal with without being able to hurt him.
At this time, Xiang Shaolong moved sideways and dodged the small sword. The force of the sword was hesitant, forcing Xiao Wang Ben to retreat hurriedly. Little did he know that he was actually retreating. When Xiang Shaolong opened the small wooden sword,
He suddenly stepped forward and struck Xiang Shaolong head-on with his sword.
After Xiang Shaolong shouted "Okay", he moved his sword to face the fight. With a "clang" sound, Xiao Wang Ben was so shocked that his arms were sore and numb. When he wanted to show off his strength, Xiang Shaolong raised his right foot as if he was about to strike. He was frightened.
Xiao Wang Ben stumbled and stepped away, sheathed his sword and stood up with an angry look on his face.
After Xiang Shaolong stopped, he smiled and said to Xiao Wang Ben: "Xiao Ben is angry that I don't follow the rules and actually kicks you?"
Xiao Wang Benen's face turned red and he lowered his head and said, "Xiao Ben doesn't dare."
Xiang Shaolong Judo: "If you are on the battlefield now, can you blame the enemy for kicking you?" When he said the last sentence, his tone became serious.
Xiao Wang Ben was shocked, fell to his knees, kowtowed and said loudly: "Xiao Ben has learned a lesson." Xiang Shaolong was happy in his heart and shouted: "Then why don't you get up and do it?"
Xiao Wang Ben suddenly stood up from his knees and rushed forward, stabbing his chest with his wooden sword.
Xiaopan was also very excited and attacked him from the left.
Xiang Shaolong let out a long laugh, flew up with a kick, and hit the tip of the small wooden sword in the middle. Then he sided to avoid Xiao Wang Ben's fierce attack, stretched out his foot, and Xiao Wang Ben immediately turned into a gourd and wooden sword that fell to the ground.
Get rid of it.
When Xiang Shaolong saw the empty door of Xiaopan exposed, he stabbed it with his sword.
Seeing that Xiao Pan was about to be hit, Xiao Wang Ben used his waist strength to bounce up and block Xiao Pan.
Xiang Shaolong quickly drew back the wooden sword, looked at Xiao Wang Ben intently, and said calmly: "Does Xiao Ben want to use his flesh and blood to block the sharp sword?"
Xiao Wang Ben said proudly: "Dad once taught Xiao Ben that he must protect the prince even if he dies."
Xiang Shaolong was moved in his heart and smiled: "If you had not let go of the sword just now, you could have used your sword to block it, right?"
Xiao Ben said excitedly: "The master is so powerful. Dad never knows how to kick me during a sword fight."
Xiang Shaolong laughed and said: "How can we compare like this? Let me teach you how to take a beating first."
Xiaopan remembered the past when Xiang Shaolong was thrown around and he got carried away and exclaimed happily: "Ah, that's the best..."
Seeing the fierce look in Xiang Shaolong's eyes, he quickly stopped talking.
A burst of applause came from the left, and Zhu Ji, surrounded by the palace maids and chamberlains, came over and said with a smile: "Master Xiang, do you have time to chat with me?"
Xiang Shaolong looked at Xiao Pan and Xiao Wang Ben, whose faces were full of disappointment because they had not been able to enjoy themselves to the fullest. He sighed secretly in his heart, nodded and said: "Empress Ji has such an intention, how dare Shaolong not accompany her?
?”
Xiao Pan and Xiao Ben were practicing sword fighting and yelling from the square, but Xiang Shaolong and Zhu Ji were sitting opposite each other in a small pavilion in the imperial garden, and the palace guards in the palace kept away from each other.
Every time he faced this charming, flirtatious, cunning and wise Empress of Qin, Xiang Shaolong felt a little unnatural and nervous. He could not help but remind himself to behave in a certain way and suppress certain things that would make him
An irreversible impulse. And Zhu Yi seems to be doing the same thing.
He felt that Zhu had sincere feelings for King Zhuang Xiang that were mixed with gratitude and love, but the relationship between him and her was another kind of excitement and lustful pursuit, based on the legendary contact and interaction between the two.
It was an emotion that had been suppressed and was extremely tempting.
After Zhu Ji glanced at him lightly, she sighed softly: "It's really sad that you have to leave within a few days after seeing you. Oh, how can I thank you? Not only did you save my mother and son,
, and sought justice for others from Le Cheng and Zhao Mu."
Xiang Shaolong did not dare to look at her and said respectfully: "That is Shaolong's duty. Empress Ji has a destiny. If she cannot fulfill it, it will be my dereliction of duty."
Zhu Ji said slightly angrily: "Even you come to play this trick with me. Now everyone respects and fears me. If even you, my best friend, are frightened, tell me who to confide my feelings to. But Wei has already treated me like this."
Avoid snakes and scorpions, do you want to follow his example?"
Xiang Shaolong sighed and said: "The most terrifying place in the world is within the palace. Doesn't Queen Ji know that there are people who want to take your mother and son's place day and night?"
A smile appeared on Zhu Ji's lips, and she said lightly: "When it comes to playing tricks, I, Zhu Ji, am afraid of coming over. Don't worry, Mr. Xiang."
Xuan then chuckled and said, "Don't always put on a guarded look to prevent others from tempting you, okay? Although the life in the palace is a bit boring sometimes, as long as I watch Zheng'er grow up, I feel satisfied and happy.
, I don’t mind everything else.”
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that if the conversation continued in this direction, nothing good would come of it, so he changed the subject and said, "Who are the people who are coveting the throne now?"
Zhu Ji rolled her eyes at him, pondered for a moment, and then said with a bit of disdain: "There are not many people in the Qin court who like my mother and son. The two groups are mainly Gaoling Jun and Yangquan Jun. Others are not willing to accept it."
Wei Biao is just a watcher, I don't believe they can do much."
Xiang Shaolong asked: "Who is Lord Gaoling?"
Zhu Ji said: "Jun Gaoling is Ying. The throne of the king should have belonged to him, but due to the intervention of Mrs. Huayang, the king was changed. Although Ying won Gaoling, he was influenced by the traitor Du Cang and always held a grudge in his heart.
, spreading rumors everywhere that Buwei and the king conspired to kill the late king, with evil intentions. In the final analysis, he just wanted to become the king of Qin himself."
In the main hall of Wu Mansion, the most important meeting before the mission was held.
Wu Yingyuan said first: "The coming year will be the most difficult period since we arrived in Xianyang. Not only Shaolong has to go on a mission to the six countries, but Prime Minister Lu also has to conquer the Zhou Dynasty. Only Tuxian is left in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I'm afraid I won't be able to sustain the overall situation. Fortunately, I have opened up a lot of personnel relationships this year. As long as I keep a low profile, I should be able to get through it safely."
Teng Yi said to Xiang Shaolong: "We discussed it just now. Brother Wu Zhuo and Wu Guo should stay behind to take care of the government affairs, so as to prevent trouble and not be completely helpless. And during this period of time,
, most people have moved to pastures to avoid the ups and downs of Xianyang City."
Xiang Shaolong said: "If the second brother also leaves the second sister-in-law to give birth soon, the second..."
Teng Yi interrupted him flatly and said: "Don't mention this matter again. Although this trip may not seem dangerous on the surface, the situation in the six countries is unpredictable. If I stay here, how can I sleep peacefully?"
Hearing the word "labor", everyone looked unnatural, especially Wu Yingyuan.
Xiang Shaolong also felt uncomfortable. The fact that he could not get Wu Tingfang and others pregnant became more and more obvious problem.
If he were in the 21st century, he could still find out the reason, but in this era, no one would be able to do anything.
Wu Zhuo sighed: "It's a pity that I can't go on an mission with my third brother, but there is no other way, alas."
Tao Fang joined in and said: "Your two brothers have selected twelve people with high martial arts skills at home for you to serve as your personal followers. Each of these masters can block ten with one, so they can be your good helpers."
Shaolong, please don’t be left alone. Many people are eager to get rid of you. I heard that Lord Yangquan will send out masters to assassinate you on the way. This will remove a thorn in their side and also damage Prime Minister Lu’s prestige. Shaolong Qian
Just be careful."
After Xiang Shaolong nodded and learned the lesson, Wu Yingyuan sighed and said, "Does Shaolong really want to take Tingfang and Princess Qian with him?"
Tao Fang said: "Then take Chunying and the other four with us so that they can serve the three young ladies."
Xiang Shaolong readily agreed, and only then did he have time to think about the threat from Yang Quanjun.
Wu Yingyuan said: "Lv Xiangggang and I have discussed the matter of going on an envoy. Lu Xianggang will allocate a batch of treasures and three thousand gold for your gift. We will carefully select hundreds of horses, a group of singers, and a few more
Three thousand gold is enough for Shaolong to deal with many greedy people."
Jing Jun let out a breath of cold air and said, "This is enough for me to spend ten lifetimes."
Teng Yi's face darkened when he heard that the singer was about to be sent off.
Xiang Shaolong sighed and said: "There is no problem in giving anything, but my son-in-law is not used to giving singers as gifts. Can my father-in-law take back this item?"
Wu Yingyuan was slightly stunned. After staring at him for a while, he nodded and said, "Since Shaolong has such a weird idea, I won't force it."
After everyone discussed for a while, the meeting ended.
Ji Yanran just came back and was chatting with Wu Tingfang and Zhao Qian about the arrogant and indifferent Widow Qing.
Somehow, Xiang Shaolong didn't want to hear about her.
Tingfang's early death made him increasingly feel that love itself is a very heavy burden. For a person who comes from the 21st century and is accustomed to monogamy, it is just that the three lovely wives in front of him have allowed him to enjoy
Not to mention Zhao Ya and Zhao Zhi who are far away in Daliang.
enough
He no longer wants to worry about love.
He just hopes to help Xiaopan ascend to the throne, and after taking control of the Qin State, he can retire to the garden and spend his life happily.
Suddenly, he felt very tired.
When he got up the next day, he went to the palace to train the two boys Xiaopan and Xiaoben in hand-to-hand fighting skills so that they could continue to practice after he left.
The rain and snow stopped last night, the sky cleared up, and the white world was so beautiful that it was dazzling.
Others may not think there is anything special, but for him, who comes from another time and space, these snow-covered and antique palace buildings really make him fascinated and can't help himself.
The past was like a dream, but before my eyes was another living dream.
He sat in the pavilion and watched Xiao Pan and Xiao Ben punching and kicking each other. When they were having a great time, Qin Qing's sweet voice sounded from behind him: "Alas, Prince Xiang, Prince Zheng, wasted time again."
.”
Xiang Shaolong was so frightened that he woke up from his reverie. When he looked back, he saw Qin Qing dressed in plain yellow silk clothes with a snow-white furry long cloak, looking at Xiaopan and the two people calmly.
Xiang Shaolong hurriedly stood up and saluted her: "Good morning, Taifu Qin, let me call the prince immediately."
Qin Qing's eyes moved to other places, and Fan Jin returned the greeting, shaking his head and saying: "It's rare for the prince to be so happy, and Taifu Xiang is about to go on a long journey, so let him miss one day of class."
Xiang Shaolong thought that he would start his life of intrigues again tomorrow, so he sat down slumped and said calmly: "Master Qin, please sit down."
Qin Qing sat down on the other side of the stone table surprisingly obediently, and said softly: "The prince seems to be very attached to the tutor. He is very excited when you are around, but he is usually silent, unlike a child of his age. He always seems to be full of joy.
It’s like something on my mind, it’s really heartbreaking to watch.”
When Xiang Shaolong thought of Zhao Ni, his heart ached and he was speechless.
At this time, Xiao Ben had already restrained Xiao Pan, but because he did not dare to knock the prince down, Xiao Pan threw him to his knees. Xiao Pan won and screamed in excitement.
Xiang Shaolong shouted: "Come here"
Xiao Ben jumped up quickly and ran to the pavilion with Xiao Pan happily.
Xiang Shaolong said to Xiao Ben: "You clearly had the upper hand just now, why did you miss the opportunity?"
Xiao Ben glanced at Xiao Pan awkwardly, lowered his head and said, "Xiao Ben will be beheaded if he misses the crown prince."
Xiaopan said in shock: "What? Who wants you to let me go?"
Xiang Shaolong laughed and said: "That makes you a prince, but as long as you practice according to my method, you will never be easily injured. Next time you fight in close combat, you can add several layers of thick mats on the ground, and there will be no problem.
Yes. You should also do enough warm-up exercises before practicing, so that you will be more foolproof, is that clear?"
The two boys agreed immediately and rushed to practice sword practice.
Xiang Shaolong turned back to Qin Qing and smiled: "Children are the cutest, but when I think that one day he will become like us and no longer know how to enjoy life in a simple way, I feel the cruelty of reality."
Qin Qing was stunned for a while, and then said after thinking for a long time: "Taifu Xiang seems to be tired of everything in front of him."
Xiang Shaolong was deeply moved, sighed, and said no more.
Qin Qing couldn't help but said: "Qin Qing has never seen anyone dare to talk to Prince Zheng with your attitude, and it's too late to flatter him. Does Xiang Taifu really not value the fame and power he holds in his hands?
Woolen cloth?"
Xiang Shaolong was secretly alarmed. Qin Qing seemed to be interested in him, and it was impossible to encourage him. He just wondered if she had a different view of him after her contact with Ji Yanran yesterday.
Thinking of this, he responded casually: "Life is just a few tens of summers and colds. If you have to deal with so much, just do the right thing when you think of it. Otherwise, there is no happiness at all." He stood up and saluted: "I want to go back.
Just pack up and say, Mrs. Qin is here to invite you."
Qin Qing didn't expect that he would take the initiative to say goodbye, and some of them stood at a loss to return the courtesy.
Xiang Shaolong walked down from the pavilion and took two steps towards the small plate. Qin Qing called from behind: "Taifu Xiang"
When Xiang Shaolong turned around in astonishment, Qin Qing lowered her head and said, "The fable about a drop of honey is indeed wonderful. Qin Qing has been taught a lesson, and Taifu Xiang will have a safe journey." Her pretty face turned slightly red, and she turned around and left.
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly in his heart, he would definitely interrogate Ji Yanran later to see if she had revealed any of his secrets to this beauty who was as famous as her.
