When he arrived at Qin Mansion, Widow Qing received him in the hall and said, "Mei Yanran and the others went to test horses outside the city and are preparing to show off their skills in the field hunting tomorrow. I felt a little uncomfortable, so I didn't accompany them."
Xiang Shaolong asked with concern: "Is Mrs. Qin okay?" On the surface, she just looked a little tired.
Qin Qingchui shook his head and said: "It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well last night."
At first, she looked at him deeply with her clear and beautiful eyes and said, "I'm a little worried. When I came back from the palace yesterday evening, I met Lord Gao Yang who came to Xianyang to participate in the field hunting. I said hello and he behaved very well.
He's so angry, I'm really afraid that he will cause trouble."
Lord Gaoling was the son who was deprived of the throne because Mrs. Huayang fell in love with King Zhuang Xiang. Xiang Shaolong was shocked and knew that he had neglected this person because he was busy dealing with Tian Dan. Lord Longyang once said that Gaoling
You had a conspiracy with Zhao envoy Pang Nuan, but you didn't take it too seriously at the time. The reason was because you didn't regard Pang Nuan as a person. Now that Qin Qing was reminded of it, she couldn't help but worry.
Qin Qing said: "Maybe Qin Qing is suspicious and you are protecting the crown prince. Why should I be worried?"
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought: If he wants to rebel openly, he will never be able to get past his level. The worst thing is that it is a conspiracy. It is impossible to prevent it. He should inform Lu Buwei about this matter and share his thoughts. It will be beneficial to him. He
You should be more concerned about the safety of the small market than yourself.
Seeing that he was silent, Qin Qing sighed and said: "I was with the Queen Mother yesterday, and that nasty poison was circulating around me all day long, with evil forms. I really don't understand how the Queen Mother could treat him like a jewel."
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said: "He is truly a man of gold and jade, but there is a lot of bad things inside. It's a pity that not many people can see through the bad things like Taifu Qin."
Qin Qing's delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "No wonder Sister Yanran said that when I talk to you, I will always have something fresh and thought-provoking, and I will never get tired of hearing it."
Xiang Shaolong felt hot in his heart and couldn't help but said: "Does Master Qin feel the same way?"
Qin Qing's pretty face turned red, she rolled her eyes at him, lowered her head, and nodded slightly. The expression of that mature beauty was extremely moving.
Xiang Shaolong was completely attracted to her, but he also felt a little regretful. He was unable to do anything for a while and didn't know what to say.
The moment of silence seemed as long as a century.
Qin Qing whispered: "Has Commander Xiang eaten?"
Xiang Shaolong blurted out: "I've eaten."
Qin Qing smiled coquettishly, gave him a charming look and said: "I finally caught the lie told by the commander. It's the time now, who can have lunch so early? I don't want to have dinner with Qin Qing."
, if you find an excuse to be busy with official duties, you don’t have to expose it to Qin Qing on the spot."
Xiang Shaolong was greatly embarrassed, and his old face turned red as if on fire.
Qin Qing was surprisingly not displeased at all. She stood up and said, "I don't have time to care about you anymore. Now Qin Qing has to send meals to your wives outside the city. Of course Commander Xiang doesn't have time to go with him. At least he has to make time."
Let’s go eat”
Xiang Shaolong began to understand more and more how aggressive she felt when she became powerful, and muttered: "There is indeed something, Mr. Qin, please forgive me."
After Qin Qing broke into a reserved but meaningful smile, the eye-opening Xiang Shaolong lost his mind and returned to his usual cold expression, saying calmly: "Commander Xiang please" was actually an order to expel him.
Xiang Shaolong followed her gesture instructions and walked towards the door. Qin Qing followed him step by step, silently.
Xiang Shaolong had the idea of mischief and suddenly stopped. Qin Qingna thought of this, a man who always adhered to etiquette, let out a sweet cry and bumped into his back with her whole delicate body.
That feeling can be as moving as it is.
At this moment, Xiang Shaolong regained the feelings he had when he first arrived in the noble realm. He turned around and put his arm around her slim waist, and whispered in her ear: "Teacher Qin, please be careful when you walk.
"
Qin Qing didn't know how long it had been since a man's hand touched her body. Her whole body was soft, her cheeks were burning, and she was trembling like a frightened bird, so she pushed him with both hands.
Xiang Shaolong didn't dare to go too far, so he took the opportunity to let her go, and said with a bow: "Please forgive Xiang Shaolong for being rude, Master Qin doesn't have to see off the guests."
Seeing Qin Qing send her off with a coquettish, annoyed and hateful expression, Xiang Shaolong left with a happy heart.
At this moment, he regained his prodigal mood.
Due to his tied hands and feet, these days he has been hamstrung by Qin Qing, Ying Ying, Lu Dan'er and other girls, making him dizzy and unable to fight back.
Only now can I feel like I have breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of the enjoyment of holding her slender waist just now, my heart suddenly jumped.
Maybe this is just out of control.
The sudden surge of impulse is the most difficult to control.
Xiang Shaolong came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the person who met him was Tu Xian, who said: "There was a civil uprising in Pingyuan County. After receiving the news, the Prime Minister immediately rushed into the palace to see the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince."
Xiang Shaolong thought in his mind that Pingyuan County was a land snatched back by the Zhao State. Something happened at this time, and it was most likely planned by Pang Nuan. What was the conspiracy?
Lu Buwei's reaction was, of course, to immediately send out a large army to protect the counties he had established. Otherwise, the neighboring counties of Shangdang and Sanchuan might follow suit and rebel at the same time, and countries such as Han and Zhao might intervene.
At that time, the situation may be out of control, and the three strategic cities in the East will be reduced to nothing, and all the efforts will be in vain.
In order to deal with this situation, Lu Buwei had to send all the troops he could mobilize to Pingyuan County to suppress the civil uprising. At that time, only the Imperial Guard, Duqi and Duwei armies were left in Xianyang.
Under normal circumstances, the three armies have enough strength to guard Xianyang City, but if during the field hunting, Zhu Ji and Xiao Pan arrive in the western suburbs where there is no city to rely on, it will be another matter.
Assuming that Lord Gaoling could lay out an ambush of more than 10,000 troops, and knew the distribution of the troops and the location of the enemy, there would be a chance of success for the surprise attack.
The more I thought about it, the more chilled I felt, and it was inconvenient to talk to Tu first, so I stood up and said goodbye.
Tu sent him out of the palace first and reminded him in a low voice to meet at the private house. After that, Xiang Shaolong hurried towards the palace.
As they approached the palace, a group of people came towards them, the most eye-catching among them were the two girls Ying Ying and Lu Dan'er, accompanied by Guan Zhongxie on the left and right.
Although Xiang Shaolong has no ambition towards the two women, he still can't help but feel a little sour.
In terms of beauty, the two women have their own merits, but her long legs, slender waist and plump breasts make her even more outstanding and alluring.
When the two girls saw Xiang Shaolong, they both pretended to be intimate with Guan Zhongxie, talking and laughing happily, but of course they turned a blind eye to Xiang Shaolong.
Guan Zhongxie could not imitate their attitude, so he led more than a dozen of his subordinates to salute him from a distance.
After Xiang Shaolong returned the gift, Guan Zhongxie reined in his horse and said, "Something happened in Pingyuan County. The Crown Prince and the Queen Mother are holding an emergency meeting with Prime Minister Lu."
The two women stopped following Guan Zhongxie, and looked at Xiang Shaolong with disdain, assuming the airs of indifferent and annoying girls.
Xiang Shaolong was amused in his heart. He first greeted them and then said, "Where are you going, sir?"
Guan Zhongxie said calmly and authentically: "The two ladies are going to the western suburbs to inspect the site. My subordinate will accompany them for a walk and visit Chang Wenjun and the others. The weather is so warm, it is a pleasure to go out of the city for a walk."
Xiang Shaolong laughed and said, "It's a pleasure to have beauty by my side." Without waiting for the two girls to react, he rode off.
Alas, if it weren't for his relationship with Lu Buwei, Guan Zhongxie should be a friend worth making. At that time, he would only be happy that his friend favored him for his beauty. But now he feels that there is a mistake and Guan Zhongxie has the upper hand, and he
It's helpless.
When we arrived at the palace, the meeting was still going on in the council hall.
Lord Changping pulled Xiang Shaolong to a corner and said, "Have you seen Ying Ying?"
Xiang Shaolong nodded.
Changping Jun said: "Are you with Mr. Guan?"
Xiang Shaolong nodded again and said: "I heard that he is going to the western suburbs to inspect the terrain of the hunting grounds."
Changping Jun sighed and said: "This morning I went to General Xu of Zuo Xiangguo to give me a lecture. He asked me to discipline my sister and not to be so close to Lu Buwei's people. I am in trouble this time. Can Lord Xiang save me?"
I?"
Of course Xiang Shaolong understood what this kid meant and said with a wry smile: "You should know that Guan Zhongxie is a man who is very good with women. He is also in good condition. He is impeccable in terms of physical appearance, swordsmanship, and conversation. I will show you my sword and spear."
I may not be able to defeat him, not to mention that your sister now regards me as a big enemy, so I'd better leave this matter to fate."
Changping Jun said in astonishment: "How can we just resign ourselves to fate? The young generals of our generation admire Xu Xian the most for his vision. What he sees is absolutely correct. If Ying Ying marries Guan Zhongxie, what will happen if she is implicated in the future?"
Okay. Lu Buwei's current status is not as high as that of Shang Yangjun before. Wouldn't he have to be quartered in a busy city? Not many outsiders in Da Qin can have a good ending. The bigger the official, the more miserable his death.
.”
Xiang Shaolong didn't think about this problem from this perspective and was speechless for a moment.
Among the two brothers, Lord Changping is the more stable and wise. Lord Changwen is less ambitious and more prone to making trouble.
Changping Jun sighed: "Now you should understand what I am worried about. The problem is that I have finally become a good friend with Guan Zhongxie. Should I cling to his chest and warn him not to touch Ying Ying, but I can't explain the reason?
"
Xiang Shaolong laughed at this. Lord Changping was right. Did he tell Guan Zhongxie that he didn't want his sister to get along with him because he was afraid that he and Lu Buwei would die together in the future?
Lord Changping complained: "It's useless for you to laugh, you don't know how troubled I am."
Xiang Shaolong said apologetically: "I just heard what you said was interesting. When it comes to marriage, you two brothers always need to nod to make it happen. Guan Zhongxie is not that courageous."
Changping Jun said angrily: "It's as simple as you said. If Lu Buwei comes to Guan Zhongxie to propose marriage, or even goes to the Queen Mother, can we two little pawns say no?"
Xiang Shaolong thought it was reasonable and said helplessly: "You have said so many things because you want me to pursue your sister. Why don't you try to warn Guan Zhongxie in a subtle and tactful way first? Mr. Lu has already done so."
Chang Pingjun smiled bitterly and said: "Lu Gong can rely on his old age and act unreasonably. I might be able to learn from him in forty years, but now it won't work. Hey, don't you have any interest in my sister?"
In Xianyang, it is her turn to be a widow, and of course, there is also the talented girl Ji who we have not yet met."
Xiang Shaolong laughed and said, "You know how to settle accounts."
Lord Changping stretched out his hand and took his arm and said, "How about you stop talking about things?" Then he looked at his arm and said, "Shaolong, you are very strong."
Xiang Shaolong really liked Chang Pingjun as his friend, so he said helplessly: "I'll give it a try but I can't guarantee success."
Lord Changping was overjoyed. At this time, the meeting was over. Lu Buwei, Meng Ao, and the king walked down the hall door solemnly, talking as they walked.
When Lu Buwei saw Xiang Shaolong, he stretched out his hand to call him over.
When Xiang Shaolong walked halfway, Lu Buwei had already separated from King Meng and came over to welcome him, dragging him towards the imperial garden. He whispered: "Shaolong should know what happened. After discussion, it has been decided that Meng Ao
He led his troops to Pingyuan County to quell the civil uprising. The king then led another large army and sent troops to the eastern frontier. On the one hand, he demonstrated to the people in the other three rivers and two Shangdang counties, and also warned the people in the three Jins not to act rashly."
After a pause, he continued: "What a coincidence that this happened. All the troops stationed in Xianyang were evacuated in a hurry, and the hunting ceremony happened again. Shaolong, what do you think?"
Xiang Shaolong said calmly: "Jun Gaoling wants to rebel."
Lu Buwei was shocked and said: "What?"
Xiang Shaolong repeated it.
Lu Buwei came back to his senses. After pondering for a moment, he came to the stone railing of a small bridge in the imperial garden and sat down. After gesturing for him to sit on the opposite side, he frowned and said, "Why did Lord Gaoling instigate the rebels in Pingyuan County?"
Xiang Shaolong sat on the stone railing on the other side, looking away from the man-made river below to see the water trickling by. Fish could be seen swimming, and he said calmly: "Of course Lord Gao Ling does not have this ability, but if he colludes with Zhao General Pang Nuan,
He can do things beyond his ability."
Lu Buwei slapped his thigh and said, "No wonder Pang Nuan ran away in a hurry after the funeral. It turned out that he had such a plan."
Then Senhan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said slowly word by word: "Mr. Gao Ling, I think you are tired of living."
Then he turned to Xiang Shaolong and said: "If he wants to take action, he must take advantage of Tian Lie's great opportunity. This matter will be left to Shaolong to handle. If my guess is correct, Gao Lingjun's people will mobilize their troops today and tomorrow."
The chaotic situation has sneaked into the vicinity of Xianyang, and the people around Lord Gaoling must also be on guard, but that can be left to Zhongxie to deal with."
Xiang Shaolong secretly laughed in his heart, he didn't expect that Lord Gao Ling had unintentionally done him a big favor. No matter how stupid Lu Buwei was, he would not deal with him in this delicate situation. This was of course also related to the fact that he seemed to have agreed to Lu Niangrong's marriage.
Lu Buwei stood up and said, "I want to see the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince. Shaolong should report to me from time to time to make me aware of the development of the situation."
Xiang Shaolong pretended to be respectful until he left, then rode his horse out of the city and headed for the western suburbs.
