Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "It's my fault, please don't be angry, Miss Dan'er."
Lu Dan'er glared at him angrily, and said to the beautiful maid next to her who was covering her mouth and snickering: "What are you looking for?"
The little pretty maid was so frightened that she ran away in a hurry.
The atmosphere was quite delicate at this time. Neither of them knew what to say. This unruly and beautiful girl was even more in a dilemma. Xiang Shaolong felt soft in his heart and came to her rescue: "The day after tomorrow is the hunting ceremony. Miss Dan'er will do it."
Are you ready?"
Lu Dan'er said indifferently: "Who wants you to take care of my affairs? You are the most ignorant person. You are so tired that Sister Ying cried. I will never let you go."
Xiang Shaolong lost his voice and said: "What?"
The more Lu Daner thought about it, the angrier he became, and said angrily: "What? What do you think you are? Do we want to come and beg you? I wish I could kill you with a sword."
Xiang Shaolong was secretly shocked. The Lu Daner in front of him was a beauty that was absolutely untouchable outside Qinqing in Xianyang, because she was one of the candidates for the concubine.
The opposite of love is hate.
Arrogant ladies like Ying Ying and Lu Dan'er cannot bear the indifference of others, especially if this person is someone they like.
Just when I didn't know what to say, the deer man came.
Lu Dan'er whispered: "Xiang Shaolong, let's wait and see" and slipped away like a gust of wind.
When Deer Gong sat down, he shook his head and sighed: "This little girl is difficult to serve, and I can't do anything about her."
Xiang Shaolong could only respond with a wry smile.
Mr. Lu said calmly: "What happened to your leg? It wasn't Dan'er who injured it."
Xiang Shaolong whispered the story of the attack.
Lu Gong was furious and said: "Tian Dan is so brave. He still dares to commit murder even though he is here. Is he really deceiving no one in Qin?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "This matter is difficult to pursue, and Lu Buwei will also protect him." He took out the forged letter from his pocket and gave it to Mr. Lu for review."
After looking at it, Lu Gong nodded and said: "I'll take care of this matter. I will deliver the letter to Li Yuan tonight. Recently, a man who was a guest at Chunshen Jun's Mansion came to seek refuge with me. I will leave it to him."
Just be the messenger and make sure Li Yuan doesn't get suspicious."
Xiang Shaolong said happily: "This is the best."
After Lu Gong pondered for a while, he said a little unspeakably: "Xiao Dan really upsets me."
Xiang Shaolong was surprised: "What's the problem with Miss Sun?"
Mr. Lu said: "You don't know. In addition to you, Xiao Dan has also gone to Guan Zhongxie in the past few days and praised his sword skills and character. This boy also knows how to please his daughter's family. What do you mean?
Should I be upset?”
Xiang Shaolong's heart sank when he heard this, and he frowned and said, "Isn't it up to you, the old man, to decide on the wedding?"
Lu Gong shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, our Da Qin tribe has been living together in groups, chasing water and grass for a living. Men and women have practiced martial arts since childhood, and there is also the custom of picking a son-in-law. Women are allowed to choose a lover who is worthy of them, and they have children.
It's about marriage. Although the situation has changed since Shang Yang's reform, many habits have still been retained, so if Dan'er really falls in love with Guan Zhongxie, it will be difficult for me to stop her."
This time it was Xiang Shaolong's turn to have a severe headache.
This can be said to be the best way for Guan Zhongxie to break into the Qin people's circle. If he gets Lu Dan'er's hands and becomes Lu Gong's grandson-in-law, not only will Lu Dan'er not be able to be the concubine, but his status will also be ruined.
The status is different, and it is much more difficult to deal with.
Outsiders have no right to interfere in such matters between men and women.
Guan Zhongxie is undoubtedly a very charming person, but even I am not sure that I can beat him in this aspect.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't Mr. Lu intend to marry Miss Sun into the palace?"
Lu Gong sighed: "This is Xu Xian and Teng Sheng's idea. Dan'er used to go to the palace to accompany the prince to read, but after getting entangled with Guan Zhongxie in the past two days, he lost interest. Lu Buwei's move is really spicy.
It makes me dare not propose Dan'er's marriage to the Queen Mother again."
Lu Gong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "I sent someone to warn Guan Zhongxie. If he really dares to touch Dan'er, even if Lu Buwei is his backer, I will find someone to give birth to him. But the problem is
Almost every time, Dan'er sent him to my door to find him, leaving me with nothing to do."
After a pause, he suddenly said: "Has Shaolong ever fought with him?"
Xiang Shaolong shook his head and said they haven't fought yet.
Lu Gong said: "This man is very powerful in swordsmanship. Last night at the banquet to bid farewell to Lord Long Yang, he showed off his prowess and defeated famous swordsmen from all over the world. Even Tian Dan's personal guard Liu Zhongxia was defeated by him. It was very exposed.
First hand. Now there are rumors in Xianyang that his swordsmanship is better than that of you and Wang Jian. Hey, good boy."
Xiang Shaolong said with emotion: "Lu Gong has seen him take action, what do you think?"
Lu Gong said in a deep voice: "His swordsmanship is very weird. He uses slowness to overcome speed, and clumsiness overcomes skill. Compared with your swordsmanship, each one is good at winning the battle, but I am afraid that you will be inferior to him in terms of physical strength.
"
Xiang Shaolong began to feel that Guan Zhongxie was threatening him, and this situation was most likely created by Mo Ao. If this person is not eliminated, it will be a serious problem.
If Ying Ying and Lu Dan'er, two of Xianyang City's proud daughters, were given to him, then he would be able to integrate into the Qin people's power circle, which would be even more unfavorable for Xiang Shaolong.
As long as Lu Buwei sends him to win two more battles and achieve military success, it will be even more extraordinary.
Thinking more deeply, if he rejected Lu Niangrong's marriage, Lu Buwei would definitely marry his beloved daughter to Guan Zhongxie, and this man would become Lu Buwei's second-in-command.
Should we kill him? That would be very difficult and dangerous, or should we have a fair decisive battle with him, but just remembering that his power is comparable to that of Wei Mou, and his swordsmanship is better than that of Lian Jin, Xiang
Shaolong felt a drum in his heart and found it difficult to insist on this "solution".
After leaving the General's Mansion, he missed his wife, children and maidservant intensely, but due to his limp left foot, he was afraid that they would worry him, so he gave up the urge.
Deep down in his heart, he vaguely knew that he really wanted to see Qin Qing again. Even if there was no physical contact, as long as he could see her voice, smile, and elegant appearance, it would be the greatest enjoyment.
After returning to Wu Mansion, Xiang Shaolong informed Teng Jing and Teng Jing about the trip to Lu Gong Mansion, mentioned Lu Dan'er and Guan Zhongxie, and sighed: "Lu Buwei's move is really hard to resist.
No one can interfere in the affairs between men and women. The worst thing is that Qin Nu is open-minded and can choose a son-in-law of her own choice, so even her parents can't care about her."
Jing Jun felt itchy when he heard this and said: "Lu Dan'er and Ying Ying are both rare beauties. If Guan Zhongxie got their hands on both of them, it would make people feel unconvinced just thinking about it. Alas, I think they are both dignified deputy commanders.
Why don't they come to have fun with me?"
Teng Yi said in a deep voice: "Stop talking about these nonsense. At the moment, we have no time to care about this matter, and we don't care about it. The hunting ceremony is one day away, and we need to make a plan.
To deal with that Mo Ao, we must also deal with Lu Buwei's conspiracy."
Xiang Shaolong asked: "Has Xiaojun figured out the environment of the hunting ground?"
Jing Jun became excited and took out a roll of silk pictures and spread them out on the table. Tao Fang happened to come back at this time and joined in their secret discussion.
Jing Jun explained: "Tianying Ground covers an area of nearly a hundred miles, bounded between Xianyang and Liangshan. Half of it is grassland and crisscrossing rivers, and the rest is mountains and valleys. The camp is located at the eastern end of Tianying Ground closest to Xianyang City.
It is located on high ground, with the Jing River coming from the east and crossing to the north. The review stand is located on the grassland below the camp. There are early hunting and late hunting. If you want to do it, of course it is best to do it under the cover of night."
Tao Fang worried: "Shaolong's leg injury will have some impact."
Xiang Shaolong said: "This is a battle of wits rather than strength. And sitting on horseback, the leg injury shouldn't have much impact."
Teng Yi said: "There are rules for field hunting. Firstly, the use of crossbows is prohibited, and private fights over prey are not allowed. There are also restrictions on the number of people. The most eye-catching is the late hunting on the third day.
The unit sends candidates to the Xishou Mountain for a hunting competition. The place is rich in tigers, leopards and other wild beasts. Whoever can retrieve the most animal ears will be the winner."
The so-called units refer to the units in the army, such as the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Guards, and the Imperial Guards. They are three independent units. The others, such as the General's Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace, are all different units, and their purpose is to promote talents.
, like a test of riding and shooting.
In order to demonstrate strength and inspire fighting spirit, outsiders like Tian Dan will also be invited to participate, as if to compete in a competition.
Jing Jun said: "It's not difficult to set up a trap. The problem is how to lead Mo Ao there. This guy has the most evil intentions, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to trick him."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Can you tell me what kind of traps there are?"
Jing Jun became energetic and said: "One of the methods is to put a liquid taken from the queen bee on Mo Ao. As long as he passes near the hive, it will definitely kill him."
Tao Fang frowned and said, "If he puts on armor, I'm afraid he might be stung on his hands and face, but it may not kill him."
Teng Yi said: "Mr. Tao didn't know something. In the jungle beside a slope of Xishou Mountain, there are more than ten nests of extremely poisonous ground bees. As long as a dozen bites are stung, a person will be unconscious. If there are a few more bites, the immortal will be killed."
I'm afraid it will be difficult to save him. The problem is how to trick him there, because he is only a civil servant and will not directly participate in the hunting. This plan is easier to deal with the evil rebels in Guan Zhong."
Tao Fang's expression changed: "So, it shouldn't be too difficult for Lu Buwei to deal with Shaolong."
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said: "As long as you think about the poisonous plan coming from Mo Ao's head, you will know that it is not Yi Yu. It seems that I can hold off on Lu Niangrong's marriage for the time being, and wait until Mo Ao is killed.
It is always wise to argue with him."
Teng Yi sighed: "Is my third brother willing to do this?"
Xiang Shaolong's eyes flashed and he said: "Soldiers never tire of deceit, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses, or if we pretend to agree, we can use Guan Zhongxie to destroy Lu Buwei's wishful thinking. We should adapt accordingly."
Tao Fang recalled the matter and said, "I almost forgot. Tu first asked you to meet him at dusk tomorrow. There should be new news."
Teng Yi stood up and said: "It's night, Shaolong, go to bed early. If you are still limping, how can you meet with Tu Xian?"
Xiang Shaolong walked toward the bedroom with the support of the two people.
