Chapter 11 Each has a conspiracy

When Yanran and the girls went to Qinqing's place, Xiang Shaolong took off his sword that he never left behind, put on civilian clothes, and under the cover of his general, slipped to the Phoenix Bridge in the north of the city to meet with Tu Xian.

Since arriving in Handan, he has always maintained relationships with the powerful. After arriving in Xianyang, he has lived a high-class life. There is a gap between him and the common people.

, became a member of the common people, sharing their ordinary and interesting life.

He deliberately squeezed into the market and browsed the various stalls selling vegetables, groceries and handicrafts.

Regardless of ironware, copperware, pottery, wood lacquerware, leather, as well as textiles, carvings and other handicrafts, they all have an ancient charm that similar items in the 21st century lack.

I couldn't help but buy a bunch of easy-to-carry accessories to give to my wives and maids to make them happy.

The market was crowded with people, and most of them were women. Seeing Xiang Shaolong's majestic majesty, he outshone all the men around him, and couldn't help but stare at him greedily.

The girl who sold him the bracelet even flirted with him and smiled like a flower.

Xiang Shaolong was very interested. He thought that if he had changed his mood when he first arrived in Guijing more than three years ago, he would have seduced the most attractive girl here to bed.

The openness and boldness of the women of Qin State are indeed unparalleled by other countries in the southeast.

Xiang Shaolong hardened his heart and ignored the girl's expectant eyes. When he turned around to leave, there was a commotion in the crowd. It turned out that there were several big men chasing and kicking a young man. There was another one who looked like his sister or wife.

The pretty girl cried and tried to stop the bad guys, but was pushed to the ground.

The young man had strong skills. Although he was at a disadvantage, he did not fall to the ground. He clenched his gums and fought hard while retreating.

One of the evil men casually got a load from a nearby stall and was about to beat the young man head-on. Xiang Shaolong came to the young man and pushed the evil man who had been beaten the hardest with his palm, causing him to stumble back a few steps.

He opened his hands and said: "Okay, let's stop this. Don't do anything anymore. If someone loses his life, who can bear the responsibility?"

The pretty girl took the opportunity to rush over, hugged the young man who was beaten blue and white, and cried: "Zhou Lang, are you okay?"

Only then did Xiang Shaolong realize that the other party was a young couple, and he felt pity for them.

There were seven or eight people in that group of villains, and they were all villains running rampant in the market. Although they knocked down a few stalls, no one dared to blame them. When they saw someone meddling, they got furious. After all, they had no fighting experience.

Fu Fu saw that Xiang Shaolong was tall and powerful, calm and calm, and did not dare to neglect. They all grabbed butcher knives, shoulder bags and other items, and surrounded Xiang Shaolong in a vigorous manner.

The strongest leader among them yelled: "Who are you, kid? Judging from how sullen your face is, you must have never heard of our reputation as the Ten Tigers of Xianyang. Kneel down and kowtow three times in a wise manner, or else I'd like you to look good."

Xiang Shaolong looked at him angrily and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He looked away from the young couple behind him and said with a smile: "Little brother, are you okay?"

Before the young man had a chance to answer, his lovely wife screamed: "Strong men, beware!"

Xiang Shaolong showed a charming smile, snatched the stick from the back of his head with his backhand, and propped one foot on the attacker's vagina.

The man let out an earth-shattering scream, let go of the burden, fell away, and could not get up again.

Xiang Shaolong also held the pole with his other hand, opened his horse stance, and struck with the pole from left to right. Two big men who rushed forward were hit in the left and right ears, spinning and falling on both sides. The eardrums are the most vulnerable part of the human body.

Here, their pain is fully reflected in their expressions.

The other men were petrified, but they still dared to take action. They helped the injured man and escaped as quickly as possible.

The onlookers immediately burst into cheers.

Xiang Shaolong had important matters and could not stay for a long time. He took out a bunch of money from his pocket, enough to buy several horses, stuffed it into the young man's hand, and said sincerely: "Get a doctor to check on the injury and leave here quickly."

The young man refused resolutely and said: "I will not be rewarded for my merits. The strong men have already done me great favors. How can I, Zhou Liang, receive any more favors from the strong men?"

His wife kept nodding her head to express her agreement with her husband's words.

Xiang Shaolong felt happy in his heart and said softly: "If we were to change places and you had a lot of money, would you do the same thing?"

Zhou Liang said proudly: "Of course I will."

Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, "That's it." He forced the silver into his hand and walked away laughing.

Amid the admiration of everyone, he hurried out of the market and was about to cross the busy road when someone from behind called out: "Stay here, strong man."

Xiang Shaolong turned around in surprise and saw a well-dressed man with a long sword on his waist, who looked like a general, rushing up and said: "My young lady happened to pass by for the heroic act just now. She admired it very much and was moved by her love for talents."

, please come over and see me, strong man."

Xiang Shaolong couldn't laugh or cry, but seeing that this man spoke elegantly, it was obvious that he was a deacon in a noble family. He declined politely and said: "My little brother is crazy by nature and only loves Yun Yehe's life. Please reply to your lady, thank you for her appreciation."

After saying that, he drifted away.

The general murmured the fresh words "Yun Yehe" several times, and after fixing them in his mind, he returned with a sense of regret.

Tu Xian led Xiang Shaolong in and looked inconspicuous. In a simple private house near the bridge, he said: "This is the place I specially arranged for us to meet. If we have anything to discuss in the future, just come here."

"

Xiang Shaolong knew that he was shrewd and experienced and had his own methods to prevent people from becoming suspicious of the house. After sitting down, he asked, "How is Lu Buwei's attitude toward Brother Tu recently?"

Tu Xian said calmly: "There are many things he still relies on me to take care of for him, and some of them he doesn't want others to know. For example, those Yan girls were blackmailed by me from Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom. It's funny to say,

Prince Dan

I originally wanted to do a lot of favors to curry favor with the powerful people in Xianyang, but unfortunately Lu Buwei found out about it. He only gave me a few hints, and then I became an ugly person to fulfill his wish. I also pretended that I had nothing to do with him.

Do you think it’s funny?”

Xiang Shaolong burst out laughing after hearing this, and his hatred for Prince Dan immediately faded a lot. Thinking that he would send Jing Ke to assassinate Xiaopan, the first emperor of Qin, and after his failure, he would become a slave to the country's subjugation, and he felt that he was just a pitiful person.

Of course, Prince Dan has no idea now that his future fate will be so miserable.

Tu Xian's voice rang in his ears: "There is news about Moon Lake."

Xiang Shaolong woke up from his dream in the future and said happily: "Where is Brother Xiao?"

Tu Xian said: "He changed his name and temporarily stayed in the palace of South Korea's powerful minister Nanliang Jun as a benefactor. I have sent someone to give him fifty gold. South Korea is not a place to stay for a long time."

Xiang Shaolong agreed: "If the Qin people want to use troops against the east, they will be the first to attack the Three Jin Dynasties. Among them, South Korea is the most dangerous and has no power to resist."

Tu Xian smiled and said: "Although South Korea is weak, it is not completely unable to fight back. You should know about Zheng Guo. This person is not simple."

Xiang Shaolong thought for a moment and then remembered that Zheng Guo was a water conservancy engineer from South Korea who wanted to dig a large canal for the Qin State that connected the Jingluo River to irrigate the farmland along the way. He asked in surprise: "What's the problem?"

Tu Xian said: "I know Zheng Guo, a man who is clever and wise. Because the King of Han is very kind to him, he is loyal to South Korea. He came to see Lu Buwei and told him the big time. I thought he wanted to assassinate Lu Buwei.

He deliberately didn't wake up this traitor, but he didn't know that Zheng Guozhen seriously stated the method, route and various benefits of the canal. Mo Ao knew that this was a good opportunity to increase Lu Buwei's power, and under strong encouragement, the Zheng Guo Canal was built.

Plan." Xiang Shaolong said puzzledly: "In this case, it should be beneficial and harmless to Lu Buwei."

Tu Xian analyzed: "It may indeed be beneficial to Lu Buwei and the Qin people, but it is definitely not beneficial to the great cause of the Eastern Expedition. It took less than ten years and eight years to mobilize millions of soldiers and civilians to build such a large canal.

Under such losses, if the Qin State still has the strength to invade eastward, at best the three Jins will be able to grab a few more pieces of land. Do you think Zheng State's move is sinister enough?"

Xiang Shaolong suddenly realized. However, although he was born in the special forces, he was by no means a militant. He secretly thought that it would be a good thing for everyone to take a break and fight before Xiao Pan officially ascended the throne.

He nodded and said: "Butler Tu invited me to see you this time just for these two things."

Tu Xian said solemnly: "Of course it's not for these trivial matters. Lu Buwei made a plan to kill you during those three days of field hunting. Wu Tingwei's loss aroused his vigilance, and he knew that you and him were at odds with each other.

, there is no possibility of cooperation anymore. Unless you are willing to marry Lu Niangrong and show your surrender in this way, Lu Buwei will not allow you, a serious problem in the world, to stay in the world. No one knows your power better than him."

Xiang Shaolong secretly thought it was dangerous. It turned out that Lu Buwei's words yesterday and the gift of Yannv were just to reassure him and teach him not to be wary. He was almost fooled.

He smiled bitterly and said, "It's a coincidence that I also want to kill this bad guy Mo Ao while I'm hunting."

Tu Xian smiled and said: "I knew you were not Yi Xiangyu. Shaolong saw it very accurately. If we remove this person, it would be like cutting off one of Lu Buwei's arms."

Xiang Shaolong wondered: "How did Brother Tu find out these secrets?"

Tu Xian said proudly: "There are many things he has to do through my people, and he never imagined that I knew the truth about the red pine forest incident. He never imagined that my subordinates who have always been loyal to him would collude with outsiders and have mental calculations.

Of course I saw through their conspiracy unintentionally."

Xiang Shaolong nodded and said: "If I can figure out his method of dealing with me, I can take advantage of him."

Tu Xian shook his head and said: "This matter was handled by Mo Ao and Guan Zhongxie, so it is difficult to know the details. The person who is most enthusiastic about killing you is Guan Zhongxie. First of all, he wants to replace you, and more importantly, he doesn't want to worry about it in his heart.

If your beautiful lady Lu Niangrong marries you, if he can become the quick son-in-law of the Lu family, his worth will be even different."

Xiang Shaolong sighed: "He is too caring. You should have seen Miss Lu San's expression of hatred towards me last night."

Tu Xian smiled and said: "A woman's psychology is the strangest. She was not willing to marry you at first, but after you rejected Lu Buwei's proposal, she objected to your admiration. No matter whether you love her well, hate her well, or are not convinced, in short

Her attitude towards you is different. She proposed the sword dance that day to Lu Buwei herself. I think she wanted you to see how beautiful she is, so that you can regret it."

Xiang Shaolong didn't know whether he was angry or funny, he sighed: "If you want me to marry my enemy's daughter, I can't do it even if I kill my younger brother."

Tu Xian smiled and said: "Lu Niangrong is Lu Buwei's sweetheart. If Prince Zheng hadn't been his son, he would have married her into the palace long ago."

Seeing Xiang Shaolong's questioning look, Tu Xian shrugged and said, "Don't ask me whose son Prince Zheng is, I'm afraid even Zhu Ji doesn't know. Because before she was pregnant, she had been with both men in turn."

Xiang Shaolong secretly laughed in his heart. Apart from Xiang Shaolong, Teng Yi and Wu Tingfang, no one in the world knew the true identity of Xiao Pan.

Xiang Shaolong stepped into the Duqi Guards Station and received the message that the prince wanted to summon him. He hurried to the palace, where Xiaopan was having a secret discussion with Li Si, who had changed into the official uniform of a long historian.

Seeing Xiang Shaolong coming, Xiaopan said: "The general's words really have a great influence on the poison. This morning, the queen mother summoned me and said that this guy is a rare talent and should be reused. She asked me if I had a suitable position. Needless to say

The queen mother was so troubled by him that she had no choice but to do something to please him."

Xiang Shaolong sighed in his heart, knowing that Zhu Ji was sinking deeper and deeper and could not extricate herself.

But it's hard to blame her. This beauty has always been affectionate, otherwise she would not tolerate Lu Buwei's evil deeds. The death of King Zhuang Xiang had a strong psychological impact on her, making her feel painful and conflicted, and she lost her balance.

The soul is empty, and one knows that there is no hope of having a relationship with oneself. Under such circumstances, the poison that is most effective against women naturally has the opportunity to take advantage of it.

What she needs is sensual compensation and stimulation

Xiaopan sighed: "This guy is a pushover after all. He has been a chamberlain for only a few days and is no longer satisfied. I just discussed with Li Qing to see what kind of official should be given to him."

At the end of the sentence, a smile escaped from the corner of his mouth.

Li Sidao, who had become Xiaopan's confidant, said: "According to Wei Chen, we must give him a position so big that it will make Lu Buwei jealous. It is best if Lu Buwei can't help but speak out against it, which will strengthen the poisonous position."

Betrayed Lu Buwei’s determination.”

Only then did Xiang Shaolong have the opportunity to sit down and said with a dumb smile: "I'm afraid no matter how hard the world tries, they won't guess that this is what we are discussing with the Crown Prince. Hey, are there any positions that can be filled by officials, but...

Who can have a direct conflict with Lu Buwei or his subordinates regarding power?"

Li Si had an idea and said: "Why not promote him to the position of internal history? This position is responsible for the connection between the two major systems of the palace and the city defense, the capital and the capital. All the documents and government orders related to these two aspects must be approved by the internal history before being submitted.

It is given to the prince to make decisions, and he has great power, which is equivalent to that of the city guard of the royal city and the court officials in charge of the city guards."

Xiaopan frowned and said, "But this position has been taken care of by Teng Sheng. This person has high moral standing and is highly respected by the military. If he is moved, I am afraid there will be opposition from the military."

Li Sidao: "The prince can use the technique of rising intonation again to calm down his desire to win."

Xiaopan thought hard and said: "At present, the most important position in the inner court, the commander of the Imperial Guard, is already held by the brothers Changping Jun, followed by Li Qing's chief historian, who is responsible for drafting all memorials and decrees, and then the inner historian.

Other positions such as Zuo Geguan in charge of hunting, Zuo Liguan in charge of etiquette, and Zuo Banquet official in charge of guest banquets are all several levels lower, and I can't think of any position that would satisfy Teng Sheng."

Xiang Shaolong is not qualified to intervene in these matters because he knows nothing about the powers of the inner court.

When Shang Xing heard this, he suddenly thought of Bao Gong, and he suddenly had an idea: "Since there is internal history, there should also be external history. This new position is like the eyes and ears of the king's court, responsible for inspecting the situation of each county. In case of negligence or negligence in duty, there should be external history."

Improper things can be reported directly to the prince, so that the subordinates can express their feelings to others. Teng Sheng should be very interested in this new fat man."

Xiaopan slapped the case and exclaimed: "If we do it this way, our mother will support this matter, and it will be difficult for Lu Buwei to speak. But it would be better if he objects."

Li Si praised: "Master Xiang is so agile that I admire him so much."

Xiang Shaolong said: "It would be best to allocate an official office in the palace for the poisonous people to do their work. The poisonous people can then gather people to form a party and fight against Lu Buwei."

Xiaopan laughed and said: "Then it would be better to find a place opposite the New Prime Minister's Mansion. Naturally, we have to face each other to fight against each other."

After the three people looked at each other, they couldn't help laughing.

It can be said that Lu Buwei was cheating on himself this time. He came up with a conspiracy to control Zhu Ji with poison. Unexpectedly, not only did Zhu Ji "change her heart" towards him, but he also cultivated a new enemy.

At this time, the chamberlain came in and said that Master Qin was here and was waiting outside.

Xiaopan showed a happy expression and first ordered Li Siru to prepare everything as discussed earlier. After Li Si stepped back, he stood up and whispered to Xiang Shaolong: "I don't know why, since the death of the king's father, I have been special

I am happy to see Mrs. Qin, see her voice and appearance, and feel at peace in my heart. Sometimes she scolds me, and I don’t know how comfortable it is. It’s strange that I didn’t feel this way before.”

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Except for Master and Master Qin, no one dares to scold me anymore. Neither the king nor my mother ever scolded me."

Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but hugged his rather thick shoulders and sighed: "My child, what you need is a mother who is as respectable as Mrs. Nee."

Xiaopan's body shook violently, her eyes turned red, and she leaned into his arms a little weakly, like a child trying to hide under his father's protection.

Xiang Shaolong understood his mentality. Since he played the role of winning the government, the lonely child naturally regarded his loving father and queen as his parents, and became even more attached to Zhu Ji. But after the death of King Zhuang Xiang

, but this illusion was shattered.

Zhu Ji is a practical person after all, and is unwilling to turn against Lu Buwei for King Zhuang Xiang. Coupled with the poisonous intervention, Xiao Pan knows that Zhu Ji cannot replace the upright biological mother, Mrs. Ni.

Qinqing has become his latest ideal place to place his feelings of missing his mother.

Xiang Shaolong also felt like his heart was cut out by a knife because he thought of Zhao Ni, and whispered: "After you calm down, it's time to go out and study."

Xiaopan nodded firmly.

Xiang Shaolong let him go and walked out the door.
