Chapter 5 Clever Cloth Snares

When Xiang Shaolong returned to the Duqi Yamen Office, his mind was still filled with sweet memories of Qin Qing.

He is also angry with himself.

Haven't you made up your mind not to get involved in love affairs again?

But at the most inappropriate time when the bad news about Shanrou came, she was in a bad mood, stayed up all night, and was still drunk, she couldn't help but provoke Qinqing intentionally or unintentionally. It was really unreasonable.

Man is indeed a difficult animal, and he is baffled by his own behavior.

If Qin Qing put on her usual airs and denounced her faults, she would be "in peace", but this peerless beauty, who is famous for her chastity and beauty, also has an ambiguous expression.

It's like anger but also joy, wanting to welcome but also rejecting.

The delicate relationship between the two now has the most powerful temptation in itself.

When he was in a trance, he bumped into Jing Jun at the gate. The boy said mysteriously: "Third brother caught a big fish last night."

Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said: "What big fish?"

Jing Jun said proudly: "Have you ever heard of Lu Bang?"

Xiang Shaolong regained consciousness and whispered: "Are you from Lu Buwei?"

Jing Jun said: "Not only is he one of the thieves of the Lu family, but he is also Lu Xiong's precious son. For some reason, this guy fell in love with her beautiful wife, and even flirted with her in the street. Xu Xian happened to be passing by, and he was able to rescue him. Who knew that this kid

Unwilling to give up, the young couple had left the city to avoid him, but the pervert still persisted. Lu Ye led more than a dozen generals to chase him out of the city, intercepted the house, and injured the man. When he was about to commit adultery with the woman,

I'll arrive in time and catch him and his accomplices on the spot. Do you think this fish is big enough?"

Xiang Shaolong was surprised: "How could you go in such time?"

Jing Jun was even more elated and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to Tao Gong's intelligence team. After learning about this, he immediately informed my younger brother. I know Lu Bang's character best. He never gives up on something he likes. I don't care.

Someone was watching him, and he was indeed caught. This trip was indeed very exciting. The Qin people have strict punishments for traitors. As long as Lu Bang is sent to the capital law office, he will not be able to escape the punishment no matter what. It is best to give him

If he wants to be castrated, just thinking about Lu Xiong's heartache will make Princess Qian and the others feel a little angry."

Xiang Shaolong thought for a while and then asked: "Now that Lu Bang and others are being detained there, do the people in the Prime Minister's Office know about this?"

Jing Jun pulled him through the yamen hall and toward the back hall, and said excitedly: "Last night, I secretly transported all the relevant people, including the young couple, here, and Lu Bang and his people were imprisoned.

.Alas, but there is a headache. Of course, this kid denied it and pushed it all away. The worst thing was that the young couple who suffered were panicked and refused to come forward after they found out that Lu Bang was from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He testified that he just begged me to let them go, saying that he never wanted to set foot in Xianyang City again."

Xiang Shaolong immediately had a headache. If there was no witness, if Lu Bang bit him, he might be covered in ants. He asked, "Where is the second brother?"

Jing Jun sighed: "He seems to be in a bad mood this morning. He didn't even ask Lu Bang a few words before giving him a slap in the face. Now he's going to use both soft and hard tactics on that young couple. I'm really afraid that he won't be able to help but beat them up."

Xiang Shaolong understood Teng Yi's current mood best and said hurriedly: "Let's go see the second brother first."

He quickened his pace and followed Jing Jun to the inner hall where the young couple was detained.

Before they crossed the threshold, Teng Yi's thunderous shouts and curses were heard. Wu Yanzhu and others who were guarding the entrance all had helpless looks on their faces. Needless to say, there was no result yet.

Xiang Shaolong walked into the inner hall of Waitruo's office and came face to face with the young couple who were standing blankly in front of Teng Yi. They were stunned at the same time. The two of them shouted: "Benefactor"

Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that it was such a coincidence. It turned out that when he went on a date that day, he met the couple in the market who were being chased by villains. At that time, Xiang Shaolong not only rescued them, but also gave them a gift

They have a fortune.

Teng Yi said in astonishment: "Do you know Mr. Xiang?"

Xiang Shaolong said sincerely: "Let's talk about this later. The Xian couple were almost killed by traitors, so why are they unwilling to testify against them? Isn't it true that the evil people are allowed to go unpunished? Maybe someone else will be poisoned by them soon."

Zhou Liang and his beloved wife looked at each other and said resolutely: "As long as it is the benefactor's order, the foolish couple will not hesitate at all even if they die for this matter."

Teng Yi said with great joy: "Don't worry, you two. We will send someone to send you two away afterwards to ensure that no one can harm you."

Xiang Shaolong said calmly: "Tomorrow morning at the latest, the virtuous couple should be out of danger."

At this moment, he formulated the entire plan to deal with Lu Xiong.

Lu Xiong was one of the main accomplices in the death of Zhao Qian and others. Now that he has this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for revenge, is he willing to let it go?

After Xiaopan heard the whole thing, he frowned and said, "It was only Lu Bang who committed the crime. Besides, he didn't really rape the woman. I can only give him a few heavy canes. It's hard to really do anything to him."

Li Si smiled and said, "I see that Commander Xiang already has a clever plan in mind."

Xiang Shaolong laughed and said: "It is really difficult to hide it from Mr. Li. I am now arranging to pass the news cleverly to his father Lu Xiong's ears, and lie to Lu Xiong that his precious son has committed rape and murder.

The most serious crime for women is that as long as he breaks into the Duqi Yamen office to demand someone in a hurry, I may have a way to teach him how to do it."

Xiaopan said slowly and thoughtfully: "What kind of person is Lu Xiong?"

Xiang Shaolong and Li Si looked at each other and exchanged their surprises.

This political prince became more and more complicated, and began to have his own way of thinking and opinions.

Xiang Shaolong said calmly: "This man is actually just a mediocre person who is eager for quick success and loves great achievements. Since arriving in the Qin Kingdom, he has regarded himself as the second most powerful person in the Lu clan under Lu Buwei, and he is very arrogant. It is said that although he is a

The deputy commander of the Shangdu Guard was very unconvinced that Guan Zhongxie was riding on his head, and he refused to salute him when he saw him."

Xiaopan was surprised and said: "How can Xiang Qing know so much about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Of course, Xiang Shaolong would not reveal Tu Xian, the big insider, and wrote lightly: "Lu Buwei can bribe my people, and I will not be polite to him."

Xiaopan pondered for a while and said thoughtfully: "If Lu Xiong is such a person, he can indeed be used."

Turning to Li Sidao: "Li Qing's family immediately summoned Lu Buwei, Lu Gong, Xu Xian, Wang, Meng Ao, Cai Ze, Wang Wan and others into the palace to discuss matters. We must leave Lu Xiong with no way to ask for help. So,

Teach him to act recklessly.”

Li Si happily accepted the order.

Xiaopan waited until he and Xiang Shaolong were the only ones left in the room, and then he showed excitement and said: "The bigger this matter becomes, the better. I can use this matter to establish my authority and kill Lu Buwei. This traitor has recently obtained

The support of the Queen Mother is even more arrogant, and she even suggested to the Queen Mother that she should formally appoint him as the regent. It is indeed shameless."

Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "What did the Queen Mother say?"

Xiaopan said angrily: "The Queen Mother was so obsessed with that poison that she refused to give in on the master's affairs. She always obeyed his words. She came to me twice to talk about this matter. Alas, for this matter, I

I couldn’t sleep well for two nights.”

Xiang Shaolong thought of Lu Buwei in the movie, who was known as "Father Zhong". "Zhong" metaphorically refers to Guan Zhong, a virtuous prime minister of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and also means another father. Lu Buwei compares himself to a virtuous man like Guan Zhong,

He also seemed to regard himself as the father of the crown prince. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Then it's better to give him a discount and just call him Zhongfu, and harm him by the way."

Xiaopan became energetic and asked quickly.

Xiang Shaolong said: "This matter can only be carried out after blood acknowledgment, otherwise it will have the opposite effect."

So he explained the metaphorical meaning of "Zhongfu" and explained another meaning of this title.

Xiaopan frowned and said, "Then do I really recognize the thief as my father?"

Xiang Shaolong said easily: "This is just a false title with no real power, but it has two advantages. First, it calms the traitor's heart and makes it difficult for him to make more arrogant demands; on the other hand, it can make him

Lu Gong and others were even more dissatisfied with him. Because of the iron-clad proof of blood recognition, Lu Gong and other ministers would only think that Lu Buwei insisted on touting himself as a 'fake royal father', which made him even more powerful and dangerous, and there was no good reason for him.

Live your life."

Xiaopan was surprised and said: "Why can Master come up with such a special title at will?"

Xiang Shaolong said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know either, it's just that this term suddenly popped up in my mind."

After Xiaopan looked at him for a long time, he said slowly: "Let me think about this matter. Master, it's not that I don't accept your opinion. It's just because the matter is so important that I should listen to Li Si's thoughts."

Xiang Shaolong said happily: "The prince is beginning to have his own insights. It's not too late for me to be happy, so how can I be unhappy? Watching you grow up is my greatest joy."

He stood up and excused himself, saying: "Lu Xiongying has received the news, I should go back and deal with him."

Xiaopan stood up and whispered in a somewhat unspeakable voice: "Master, can you please see the queen? Only you can free the queen from the control of the poison."

Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said, "Let's see what we can do."

As soon as he left the fasting, he was immediately intercepted by Chang Wenjun. The guy said: "Shaolong, please forgive me for revealing your mistakes. My sister-in-law is waiting for you at the palace gate. Hey, you should know that she will not do anything good."

.”

Xiang Shaolong hurried back to the Capital Cavalry Department to deal with Lu Xiong. Hearing this, he was startled and said, "Then I have no choice but to sneak away elsewhere."

This time it was Chang Wenjun's turn to be startled and said: "Don't do this, otherwise she will know that I leaked her trick. You should just deal with it and treat her like selling me a favor. I will come to see you tonight."

You go and drink wine as atonement for your sins."

Xiang Shaolong laughed and said: "I have heard of a father who is filial to his children, but I have never heard of a brother who is filial to his sister like you are."

Chang Wenjun responded with a wry smile and whispered: "I think my sister-in-law has a crush on Shaolong. Of course she won't admit it, but as long as she sees how excited she was after seeing you last night, she will

She can't hide it from her brother and my sharp eyes. Ha, she's pretty good."

Xiang Shaolong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't say it's a joke, let me first see what other tricks she has to play with me."

The two of them were chatting and laughing as they walked towards the main palace gate, passed through the corridor and turned into the front of the main entrance square before Chang Wenjun slipped away.

Xiang Shaolong bravely walked towards the Eighteen Iron Guards who were waiting for him. From a distance, he saw two unruly Qin girls, Ying Ying and Lu Dan'er, trying to ride his favorite horse, Gale Wind. Next to them, Wu Shu and others

The Iron Guards had nothing to do with them.

Ying Ying saw him from a distance, pulled the reins of her horse and ran towards him, smiling and saying: "Hello, General Xiang, our sisters are not convinced and have come to compete with you again."

Looking at her cute and charming appearance full of youthful vitality, Xiang Shaolong really wanted to jump on the horse, hold her waist, lean against her back, and gallop happily in a big circle around the city, but it was a pity that he couldn't do it.

He could only think about the matter in his mind, and said with a wry smile: "When will this matter be finished?"

Gale stopped next to him, stretched out his horse's neck, and moved his head towards him to make out with him.

Xiang Shaolong patted Bafeng lovingly, pulled him and Ying Ying on the horse towards Lu Dan'er and the others, and said with a wry smile: "I surrender and give up. Miss, can you show me your noble hand and let me go?"

Ying Ying said displeasedly: "There is such a rogue, Xiang Shaolong, are you a man? I don't care about you, just follow us outside the city to compete with your riding skills first, and then with others."

Lu Daner came up to him with a smile and said, "Are there another timid and useless guy?"

Xiang Shaolong was angry at this, and suddenly he thought: "I'm afraid of you, more than anything else, but I have to go back to the office first, and deal with some matters before I play with you."

Ying Ying jumped off the horse nimbly and said angrily: "Who wants to play with you? It's just that I'm interested in weighing you because you're barely decent."

Lu Dan'er said: "Men are all like this. Give them some color and treat it like red. Hey, he's so pretty."

Xiang Shaolong put on a nonchalant attitude and said: "If you don't let me go back to the government office, I'll knock you down. If you don't care, forget it."

The two women lost their voices and said: "Rare?"

Amidst the laughter, Xiang Shaolong jumped on his horse and shouted: "No matter what you want, brothers, we are going back to the office."

Caught in the strong wind, he rushed towards the gate like an arrow.

When Xiang Shaolong and the two unruly women jumped off their horses, they all felt a special atmosphere in the government office.

The lobby was crowded with cavalry troops, and everyone had angry expressions on their faces. There were faint sounds of shouting and cursing in the hall.

Xiang Shaolong was secretly happy in his heart and led the two girls towards the gate. The cavalry troops crowded at the entrance and looked in. When they saw Xiang Shaolong coming back, they hurriedly made way out. Someone whispered: "Commander, the guards are

People are here to cause trouble."

When the voice of "Your Majesty Commander has arrived" sounded, Xiang Shaolong entered the lobby proudly, accompanied by the two women who were beginning to feel interesting.

There are clear barriers in the hall.

On one end were more than a dozen senior generals of the capital cavalry led by Teng and Jing, and on the other side were Lu Xiong and more than 20 guardsmen.

Xiang Shaolong winked, and Wu Shu and the other eighteen iron guards spread out in a fan shape, surrounding the rear of Lu Xiong and others.

Lu Xiong didn't look back and sneered: "The person who can talk is finally back."

This sentence combined with Lu Xiong's demeanor and posture showed that not only did he not regard Xiang Shaolong as his superior, he even didn't even take him seriously.

Ying Ying was very familiar with Qin's political system. She put her mouth close to Xiang Shaolong's ear and whispered: "Aren't the guards under your command?"

Breathing the fragrant orchid breath into her ears, which felt itchy and comfortable, Xiang Shaolong said softly: "You two stay here obediently and don't let them know, so that you can bear witness to me."

The two women were even more excited and did not care about the tone of Xiang Shaolong's instructions. They crowded at the entrance to watch the fun.

After everything was arranged, Xiang Shaolong came between Teng Jing and Teng Jing. He pretended to be surprised at Lu Xiong, whose face was as hot as charcoal, and said, "Who is the 'person who can talk' that Master Lu mentioned?"

In order to arouse his anger, Teng Yi and Jing Jun deliberately burst into laughter, and the other cavalrymen also echoed in unison.

Lu Xiong's eyes flashed with murderous anger, and he said word by word: "Of course he is referring to Commander Xiang. Aren't you the one who can talk things over?"

Xiang Shaolong's eyes narrowed and he shouted mercilessly: "How brave"

The whispers and laughter in the hall immediately subsided, becoming silent, and the atmosphere became even more tense.

Lu Xiong didn't expect that Xiang Shaolong would dare to be so rude to him, a celebrity in the prime minister's office, and his face changed drastically, but he knew that he had indeed said the wrong thing and exceeded his status. He lost his position for a moment and didn't know how to deal with it.

Xiang Shaolong said calmly: "Lu Xiong, when you see this general, you don't show military salute, which is disrespectful. You also speak arrogantly and show no respect for superiors and inferiors. Do you understand your crime?"

Lu Xiong had his own way and sneered arrogantly: "If the commander thinks that I, Lu Xiong, have made a mistake, you can complain to Prime Minister Lu."

All the cavalry officers present were in an uproar.

Jing Jun said with a playful smile: "Lu Xiong, if you are sent to the battlefield in the future, will you only listen to Prime Minister Lu and only he can take care of you? Or will you have to send someone back to Xianyang to find Prime Minister Lu to comment on everything?"

The cavalry army burst into laughter again, mixed with the delicate laughter of Ying Ying and Lu Dan'er.

Lu Xiong was laughed at by others, but he didn't care about his face. He said angrily: "Jing Jun, who do you think you are? How dare you"

Teng Yi cut him off and muttered: "If he is nothing, you are even less important. We are all deputy commanders. Speaking of which, deputy commander Jing is half a level above you."

When these words came out, the audience burst into laughter again, and the two women actually clapped and applauded, as if they were worried that the world would not be in chaos.

The faces of Lu Xiong and his men became even more ugly.

Xiang Shaolong didn't allow him a chance to breathe and calm down, and shouted: "Lu Xiong, you are too presumptuous, get down on your knees!"

There were nearly seventy people inside and outside the hall, and they immediately fell silent and waited with bated breath.

Lu Xiong took a step back in astonishment and said with a stern voice: "Xiang Shaolong, don't force me too much?"

Teng Yizhi knew it was time and ordered: "Come here and help Commander Xiang capture this madman who violated the order."

All the cavalrymen in the capital were gearing up and immediately saved more than ten people.

Lu Xiong's purpose was to get back his imprisoned precious son. Unexpectedly, under the deliberate provocation of Xiang Shaolong and others, he fell into a dilemma. He also always relied on Lu Buwei as his big backer and looked down on anyone. How could he tolerate this at this time?

Holding it like a prisoner, he pulled out his sword with a clang and shouted irrationally: "Who dares to take action?"

His entourage were all soldiers from the Lu tribe, and they usually acted tyrannically. Thinking that with Lu Buwei's backing, even if you were a small person, they all rode in command, so they all showed their weapons and formed a formation to protect Lu Xiong.

After Xiang Shaolong and Teng Jing exchanged glances, they stopped the capital cavalry who didn't know whether to take action. They shook their heads and sighed: "If Vice Commander Lu doesn't immediately put down his weapons and kneel down to be bound, don't blame my subordinates for not taking action."

Show mercy."

Lu Xiong smiled ferociously and said, "What can you do to me?"

Xiang Shaolong smiled calmly and made a gesture.

The Eighteen Iron Guards quickly and uniformly took off the crossbows on their backs, loaded up powerful arrows, rushed to strategic positions, aimed at the enemy, and forced Lu Xiong and others to one side of the wall.

When there was no way to retreat, Lu Xiong woke up, stopped his subordinates from showing weakness, and said sternly: "Xiang Shaolong, what do you mean?"

Jing Jun smiled strangely and said: "What does the long sword in your hand mean? The crossbow arrows in our hands mean that. What do you mean?"

As the atmosphere was as tense as an arrow, no one dared to make any sound. Only the two girls, Ying Ying and Lu Dan'er, were able to deal with it so much that Jing Jun's tone of voice made them laugh.

Of course, Lu Xiong was aware of their presence this time. He looked at the entrance and said in a deep voice, "Who are these two girls?"

One of the captains of the Metropolitan Cavalry Army shouted: "You don't even know these two famous heroines, Miss Ying Ying and Miss Lu Dan'er, how can you, Lu Xiong, be the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard?"

Lu Xiong finally had some cleverness. Hearing this, his expression changed drastically and he felt something was wrong.

If no one other than the Metropolitan Cavalry was present, no matter what mistakes he made, he could always clean them up afterwards, but of course that is not the case now.

Xiang Shaolong looked at his appearance and knew that he wanted to retreat, so he didn't allow him to regret it, so he shouted: "Lu Xiong, if you don't abandon your sword and kneel down immediately, I will make you regret it."

He always insisted that Lu Xiong kneel down and admit his mistake, just to make it difficult for him to accept it.

Lu Xiong hesitated for a while, and before he had a chance to reply, Xiang Shaolong ordered: "Shoot the feet."

There was a sound from the machine, and eighteen crossbow arrows were shot out.

In such a distance and indoor environment, there was no way to avoid it. Eighteen of Lu Xiong's men fell down immediately, all of them pierced through the thighs by powerful arrows.

The crossbow was strung up again.

Although Lu Xiong was not injured, his energy was completely gone. He was even more afraid of Xiang Shaolong's personal revenge, so he threw down his sword angrily and said sternly: "You are cruel, but I want to see how you deal with Lu Xian."

The seven uninjured men behind him abandoned their swords and surrendered.

Ying Ying and Lu Dan'er didn't expect that Xiang Shaolong would dare to do something so cruel, and they were stunned by his beautiful big eyes.

Xiang Shaolong made a gesture, and all the cavalry soldiers rushed forward, tied up Lu Xiong and the other eight uninjured people, and forced them to kneel down.

In Xianyang City, the capital cavalry army always regarded themselves as higher than the capital guards, so how could they tolerate such idleness? Xiang Shaolong's bold and daring methods pleased them greatly.

Xiang Shaolong ignored those people who were lying in a pool of blood and groaned, came to Lu Xiong, and said calmly: "Deputy Commander Lu, what's the reason for this? My son only injured someone, why did he need to use the knife to make a fuss?

Where’s the gun?”

Lu Xiong's dramatic shock

Turning his head, he lost his voice and said: "What?"

Xiang Shaolong said softly: "Can't you hear clearly? But it doesn't matter anymore. Now I will go to Luxuan with you to evaluate the situation and see who doesn't distinguish between superior and inferior? Who is the inferior?"

The color drained from Lu Xiong's face. In an instant, he knew that he had accidentally fallen into the trap carefully designed by Xiang Shaolong.
