Lu Buwei insisted on giving Xiang Shaolong a ride, but the latter wanted to refuse and had no choice but to sit in his luxurious car.
When the car passed by the new Prime Minister's Mansion, which had been basically completed and only needed some decoration, Lu Buwei pointed confidently: "After the hunting ceremony, I will move to this feng shui blessed land. This is the acupoint of Xianyang's geological luck, but Zou
But the teacher said that due to the shift of the stars in the sky, the earth energy will move into Xianyang Palace in eight years, and Hana is the time when the crown prince is crowned. What a coincidence."
Xiang Shaolong knew nothing about Feng Shui, but he had the ability to "predict the unknown" about history. He was stunned when he heard this, and was even more amazed by Zou Yan's scholarly nature.
Lu Buwei stretched himself and said with a smile: "I have eight years of good fortune, and I have been able to accomplish a lot of things."
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but admire him in his heart. Lu Buwei had just lost a battle, but now he was acting like a normal businessman. He was not afraid of losing money in business, as long as he could earn it back elsewhere.
Lu Buwei suddenly reached out and put his arm around his shoulders affectionately, and said with a smile: "Everything is ready for the new prime minister's house. All we need is a good son-in-law. Shaolong understands what I mean. Now that you have met your mother, it's not bad. I, Lu Buwei, love you the most."
It’s a pity that this is my precious daughter.”
Xiang Shaolong secretly sighed in his heart, this could be said to be the last chance to make peace with Lu Buwei.
The powerful prime minister of the Qin family, who was born as a big businessman, initially had a relationship with him because of interests, and wanted to deal with him harshly because of interests. Now he is drawn to him again, and it is still the word "interests".
He can be said to be a complete utilitarian, who only cares about interests and puts everything else aside.
If it were anyone else who would have been a little moody after suffering the kind of setback just now, he didn't care and immediately showed his kindness to Xiang Shaolong.
By analogy, even if he becomes his son-in-law, or his "blood and flesh" like Xiaopan, he can still sacrifice himself decisively when the stakes are high. Lu Xiong is an example.
Xiang Shaolong intuitively felt that Lu Buwei not only wanted to turn Qin into the world of his Lu family through small dishes, but he might also be able to live out the addiction of being a monarch himself.
Lu Buwei saw that he didn't refuse flatly, but just kept silent. He thought he was moving, so he patted his shoulder and said: "Shaolong, think about it and give me a definite answer next time. In any case, there is no need to worry about this idiot Lu Xiong."
Take it to heart."
The carriage stopped and it turned out that it had arrived at the main entrance of the government office.
Xiang Shaolong thanked him and got out of the carriage. He knew in his heart that Lu Buwei would ask him again during the field hunting. If the answer was "no", he would deal with him during the field hunting as originally planned.
When he returned to the government office, everyone paid respectful tribute to him. Only then did Xiang Shaolong realize that not only had Xiaopan established his authority this time, but he had also established authority within the capital cavalry army. In the future, when he commanded these noble capital cavalrymen, who would he ask?
Dare you be dissatisfied?
Teng Yi and Jing Jun returned to the office early. When the three met each other, they couldn't help laughing and had a great time. Lu Xiong's political future was over, which made this ambitious man more sad than killing him.
Teng Yi stopped laughing and said seriously: "This time Guan Zhongxie has been harmed as well. This kid must have a lot of hatred in his heart."
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said: "There is something that will make things even more tense between me and him, because Lu Buwei just mentioned the marriage to me again, and I have to give an answer when I see him next time."
Jing Jun blinked and said, "This Lu Niangrong is quite a beauty. Why don't we marry her for fun and get some revenge first?"
Teng Yi shouted angrily: "Who do you think your third brother is?"
Jing Jun immediately shut up.
Xiang Shaolong sighed and said: "This matter is indeed a headache. Frankly speaking, Lu Buwei may not be able to bear it if he refuses, but he doesn't care about that much."
When Teng Yi was about to speak, the guards came to report, and Ying Ying and Lu Dan'er came to the door again.
Xiang Shaolong and the two women rode out of the city gate, ran down the hillside along the official road, and came to the endless plain. It was mid-spring, the fields were green, and with these two unruly beauties as companions, they couldn't help but worry.
Let it all go and be open-minded.
Ying Ying came to him excitedly, pointed to a small mountain on the horizon and said: "That's the famous 'Ximapo'. There is a towering ancient cypress on the mountain and a clear spring next to it. We will target there. Whoever gets there first
, no matter who wins, he will be treated as a subordinate when we meet again for three months."
Lu Dan'er on the other side smiled sweetly and said: "Of course it's not just about horse power. Competitors can use any method to prevent their opponents from winning, but they are not allowed to hurt their opponents or horses. Do you understand?"
Xiang Shaolong said in astonishment: "The horse runs so fast, how can it have time to deal with others?"
Ying Ying gave him a charming look, clamped her long legs on the horse's belly, and galloped away. Her sweet smile blew back like a spring breeze and said, "Then we don't know."
Lu Dan'er galloped out at the same time.
Xiang Shaolong was used to their "unscrupulous tactics", and he had no time to care about the two women "stealing", so he chased them like arrows against the strong wind.
When it comes to riding skills, Xiang Shaolong is a monk halfway through his career. Compared to someone like Wang Jian who seems to be able to eat and sleep on horseback, he is definitely not as good as him. But if it is just a comparison, with the strong wind, he should not lose to anyone.
, the problem is that the two women helped a lot in defeating Lu Xiong, so this trip should allow them to win a battle, so as to make the two ladies happy. It can be regarded as a kind of fun to show one's inferiority in front of beautiful women.
.
After having this idea, he no longer had any desire to compete for supremacy. He just pretended to hang the two women's ponytails from a distance and galloped towards the destination easily.
The grasslands and mountains recede as the hooves rise and fall.
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but think of Zhao Ya.
If she can really succeed in killing Tian Dan to avenge Shanrou, she should arrive in Xianyang when she comes back.
After so many twists and turns, he must treat her well so that she can live a comfortable and happy life in the second half of her life.
The two women in front disappeared into a sparse forest.
Xiang Shaolong's thoughts turned to Qin Qing again.
Emotion is a very strange thing. The more restrained you are, the stronger the temptation. This is the case between him and Qin Qing. There is no need for male love and female love at all, as long as the subtle feeling when two people are facing each other is already there.
The touching taste of eating forbidden fruit. Assuming that you can never cross the invisible limit, this kind of metaphysical spiritual affair is actually even more beautiful. The problem is that if it suddenly gets out of control for a moment, it will be terrible.
If he were still in the 21st century and someone told him that he would restrain himself when beauty was present, he would never believe it. But now that he has finally given birth, we can see how dramatic his transformation has been.
As his thoughts were flying over, among the trees, people and horses broke into the sparse forest.
The backs of the two women appeared and disappeared in the depths of the forest.
Women in this era were surprisingly precocious, perhaps because they were able to marry at the age of fourteen. Such was the trend. Ying Ying and Lu Dan'er were only fifteen or six years old, but they were already blooming flowers.
They learn riding, archery and sword skills, and their bodies are in good shape. Compared with beauties from other countries, they are more agile and light. To say that they are not attractive is just lying to their conscience.
But Xiang Shaolong never wanted to provoke them.
Firstly, it was because he had neither the time nor the inclination to stir up new relationships between men and women, especially Lu Dan'er, who was one of the candidates for the concubine. If he took advantage of it, he would be competing with Xiao Pan, which he would never do.
thing.
This is not the 21st century. After a one-night stand, they can part ways with each other. Especially these noble ladies with status must bear responsibility when they get involved. And what Xiang Shaolong is most afraid of now is being responsible for beauties.
He was just a Qinqing, but he was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
A dark shadow flashed in the corner of his eye. Xiang Shaolong looked alertly, and saw something like a net covering his head, but the person who spread the net was hiding behind a bush.
Xiang Shaolong instinctively pulled out the blood wave and slashed it away with his sword.
Unexpectedly, the net tightened suddenly, entangled the blood wave tightly, and then pulled it out violently.
Xiang Shaolong secretly laughed in his heart, even if the two women combined, they still might not be able to match his own divine power.
Without thinking, he drew his sword hard and used some clever force to cut off this special strange net.
Unexpectedly, an irresistible and powerful force came and Xiang Shaolong was so confused that he was pulled off his horse with his sword and fell onto his back.
After galloping for more than ten steps, the galloping horse stopped and turned back to stare at him strangely.
The opponent kept pulling hard, so Xiang Shaolong had no choice but to let go, letting the sword he had never let go be taken away.
The sweet laughter of the two women immediately came from behind the grass.
Xiang Shaolong knew in his heart that the other party must have used the power of the horse to seize the sword with clever tricks. He was so angry that he simply lay on the grass and looked at the blue sky and white clouds on the top of the tree.
Without turning around, the two women's beautiful faces appeared above them. They looked down at him, the defeated general, and laughed so brightly that their branches trembled with pride.
Ying Ying said happily: "It turns out you are so useless, we have no interest in paying attention to you in the future."
Xiang Shaolong felt the tiredness of his spine and the comfortable feeling of lying flat on the ground, and smiled: "Are you really going to stop paying attention to me? That's really what you want."
Lu Dan'er put the blood wave he won next to his face and said disdainfully: "You beautiful man, do people care about you? I really don't understand why Ji Yanran wants to marry you. She can't even keep her sword."
Ying Ying stamped her feet and said angrily: "Dan'er, do you still want to talk to him? Are you deaf and can't hear him? You wish we would ignore him. I don't want to see him again after he leaves."
When Lu Dan'er hesitated for a moment, Ying Ying, who was already angry and bitter, pulled her away.
After the sound of hoofbeats faded away, the wind galloped back and lowered his head to look at his master.
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and sat up, secretly thinking that this was a good idea, as he was afraid that these two unruly women would still refuse to let him go.
Ying Ying couldn't stand his joking. In fact, it was because she cared about him and valued him so much that she couldn't get angry at him.
At this moment, Hayate looked alert and raised his ears.
Based entirely on a warrior's intuition, Xiang Shaolong slapped Gale's horse on the buttocks and shouted: "Let's go"
The strong wind connected with his mind, let go of his hooves, and ran forward.
At the same time, Xiang Shaolong rolled onto the ground into the bushes where the two women were hiding just now.
Mechanical sound.
More than a dozen crossbow arrows shot into the bushes.
At this time, Xiang Shaolong had rolled out from the other side, moved sideways behind a big tree, and pulled out two flying needles from his waist.
The other party must have been following them, and only showed up to attack after the two women left.
He had no sense of precaution because Lu Buwei would not let anyone attack him at such a delicate moment. Because if he was killed in an attack, he would be the biggest suspect.
There was a sound of wind, and a crossbow arrow was fired from behind the tree on the left.
Xiang Shaolong suddenly dodged, and the crossbow arrow passed by his face and was stuck in the tree behind him. It was extremely dangerous.
He tumbled and rolled towards the arrow.
When the masked enemy behind the tree was about to load the second crossbow, Xiang Shaolong's blood had already penetrated his belly.
A figure flashed out of the corner of his eye, and Xiang Shaolong didn't even have time to turn his head to take a look. He waved his hand and threw a flying needle, and two screams were heard one after another.
Xiang Shaolong knew he couldn't stop, so he rolled towards a pile of grass. Just now, four crossbow arrows passed over him from where he stood, which showed the enemy's ferocity and determination to kill him.
Footsteps sounded from the rear, and there were no less than twenty intruders.
Xiang Shaolong put away his long sword, held two flying needles in each hand, and threw them back with a sound, then rolled away.
A shrill scream came from behind. Of the four flying needles, only one made a difference.
Enemies are looking for strategic locations where they can hide.
Until now, the enemy had only used crossbows to deal with him. Fortunately, the enemy was very wary of his flying needles and did not dare to attack him, otherwise he would have been killed long ago.
However, this is not a solution. The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. As long as the enemy completes the encirclement, he will definitely die.
His only advantage was that he had driven away the strong wind. As long as he climbed back on his horse, he would have hope of escaping.
Xiang Shaolong rolled forward further, and when he was about to reach another big tree, he felt a burning pain in his thigh. A crossbow arrow passed by his leg, and a large piece of flesh was taken away from his pants, and blood immediately dripped down. He groaned.
With a sound, he moved behind the tree.
There was a sudden sound of footsteps.
Xiang Shaolong looked behind him and saw a masked man rushing toward him with a crossbow and throwing flying needles.
The man was hit in the face, fell backwards, and the crossbow arrow shot into the air.
Three crossbow arrows were shot from behind the tree. Fortunately, he retracted in time.
The blood flowed out uncontrollably, and the pain struck my heart.
Xiang Shaolong knew that this was a critical moment, summoned up his will to survive, rolled forward with all his strength, and hid behind a pile of rocks. His head felt dizzy, and he knew it was excessive blood loss. He quickly pulled out his dagger and cut
He took off a piece of his sleeve and tightened it around the injured leg.
There was a sound of moving blades of grass from the enemy.
Xiang Shaolong is deeply worried. Now his mobility has been greatly reduced due to his leg injury, and he is even less able to escape and meet up with Gale before the attacker completes the encirclement.
At this moment, he saw a trip rope connecting two trees in front of him.
Xiang Shaolong's mind was racing and he understood that this was the second trap set up by Ying Ying and Lu Dan'er to deal with him. Looking around again, he discovered that there were two more tripping ropes blocking the way forward.
The sound of footsteps came again.
Xiang Shaolong was angry and happy. He secretly thought that it was a good thing that the strong wind did not pass by here. He also knew that this was the only chance to escape. He became energetic, jumped up, and ran forward. At the same time, he pursed his lips and let out a sharp whistle calling to the strong wind.
Voice.
The wind picked up.
Xiang Shaolong flew over the stumbling rope and rolled away.
Powerful arrows whizzed past overhead.
When he played again, the sound of gale's hooves came closer and closer.
There was a roar from behind, and the enemy no longer cared about hiding their appearance, and pursued them like a fan.
Xiang Shaolong darted left and right among the trees, raising his speed to the limit to lure the enemy into firing crossbows.
You must know that loading crossbow arrows is laborious and time-consuming, and you often need to rely on your feet. Therefore, after releasing an arrow, if the enemy does not want to let him slip away, he must temporarily give up loading the crossbow arrows so that he can pursue with all his strength.
he.
Without the threat of crossbows, the only thing that matters is the strength of the feet.
At this time, the strong wind appeared about a hundred feet away on the left front, and everyone rushed towards him.
Due to his leg injury, Xiang Shaolong walked slowly and slowly. Fortunately, as expected, the crossbow attack stopped, leaving only the sound of the enemy's rapid running.
Then there was a cry of exclamation and falling to the ground. Of course, he fell because he was tripped by the horse rope.
Xiang Shaolong took the opportunity and shouted: "The enemy is ambushed, act quickly!"
There was chaos behind.
At this time, Guofeng rushed in front of him. Xiang Shaolong jumped on his horse and rushed out.
I glanced back and saw that seven or eight of the masked enemies had fallen to the ground. There were still six or seven people who had not fallen down. One of them had a very familiar figure. He was throwing out his long sword and thrusting it into the strong wind.
Come on, your hand strength and your aim are impeccable.
Xiang Shaolong swung his sword horizontally and laughed loudly at the same time: "General Danchu is worthy of being the most powerful general under Prime Minister Tian"
A gust of wind flew away from the dangerous situation like a cloud.
