When Xiang Shaolong and Guan Zhongxie arrived at Lu Buwei's camp, he was listening to two stunning singers playing the piano and singing outside the tent. Accompanying him was Mo Ao and more than a dozen personal guards. Lu Can was also there, but Lu Niang was missing.
Rong and Zhou Zihuan.
Lu Buwei pretended to be happy and asked Xiang Shaolong to sit next to him, and introduced him to Lu Can and Mo Ao for the first time.
Xiang Shaolong pretended to know nothing and exchanged a few words with Mo Ao and Lu Can. After Lu Buwei sent the two beautiful singers back to their tent, he approached Xiang Shaolong and said, "Tian Dan is gone, what does Shaolong have?"
Plan. If you want to deal with him, I will help you with all my strength. Since he dares to frame me, Lu Buwei, by assassinating Shaolong, I no longer have to be loyal to him."
All the eyes of Mo Ao and others were focused on him, making Xiang Shaolong feel like he was trapped in a tiger-wolf formation.
Since they thought they had swallowed a poison bag, they must be laughing secretly in their hearts that they were about to die without realizing it.
His mind was racing at the same time. If he hesitated and refused to chase Tian Dan, Mo Ao would become suspicious and deduce that he had other countermeasures. But if he agreed, it would be even more impossible. At this moment, he was really in a dilemma.
Fortunately, I remembered the two wise sayings of all heroes: "The end justifies the means." I pretended to be embarrassed and said: "This is funny. The reason why I want to deal with Tian Dan is because I suspect that he killed the person I met in Handan."
I met a woman, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. I just received news from that woman yesterday, so I still have time to take care of his business, but it’s okay to scare him. This guy has been trying to kill me.
It just didn’t work out.”
Of course, these words were made up so that it would be difficult for Lu Buwei to force him to deal with Tian Dan. And he had no need to hunt down Qi Ren. Fortunately, Tian Dan had left and there was no more evidence. No matter what he said, it would not matter.
That’s it.
Lu Buwei, Mo Ao, Guan Zhongxie and Lu Can all showed strange expressions. After looking at each other for a while, Guan Zhongxie interjected: "Why did Mr. Xiang think that the woman was harmed by Tian Dan?"
After saying this, Xiang Shaolong knew that Tian Dan had not told them the details, and he was secretly happy in his heart. He told the story about Shanrou's eyes when he saw the portrait, and finally said with a bitter smile: "I wonder if it was because of excessive concern.
I never thought I would guess wrong. It wasn't until I received a letter from her trustee that I realized it was a misunderstanding. She had indeed attempted to assassinate Tian Dan, but managed to escape. But of course I will never interact with Tian Dan again.
"Explanation"
Lu Buwei shook his head and sighed: "We knew it was a misunderstanding. In fact, even Tian Dan doesn't know why you angrily accused him of killing that woman when you saw the portrait, but of course he won't explain it to you."
Mo Ao interjected: "That portrait was drawn from memory by a painter who had seen the woman under the Tiandan seat that day. It is not surprising that the wrong eyes were drawn." This time it was Xiang Shaolong's turn to say in shock: "What?
"
When he saw everyone looking at him in astonishment, he hurriedly said: "Since Prime Minister Lu knows this, why didn't you tell me earlier?" He tried his best to prevent the ecstasy in his heart from flooding his face.
Oh my god
It turns out that Shanrou is really not dead, it was just a misunderstanding.
Lu Buwei said calmly: "At that time, I thought that Tian Dan might just be talking nonsense, and maybe he wanted to use me to send a message to you, so I didn't take it to heart. Now of course it has been confirmed that his words were not a lie."
It makes sense for Xiang Shaolong to think about it, but in that case, Tian Dan doesn't have to lie to Lu Buwei, and Tian Dan is not the kind of person who is willing to show weakness. Therefore, there is a high chance that Shan Rou is still alive.
Lu Buwei couldn't hide his disappointment when he saw that Xiang Shaolong couldn't move and chased Tian Dan. He stood up and said, "Shaolong, would you like to go to Niang Rong's tent and see her? Maybe you can make her change her mind?"
At this time, Xiang Shaolong was not interested in meeting Lu Niangrong. He stood up with Mo Ao and others and said, "We have to hunt early tomorrow. Let the third lady rest early. I'll see her again tomorrow when she is in a better mood."
Lu Buwei didn't know whether his conspiracy had failed, so he was in a bad mood and let him go without trying to persuade him to stay.
When Xiang Shaolong returned to the Cavalry Army camp located on the slope behind the Royal Camp, Teng Yi, Jing Jun and Liu Chao were discussing in a low voice in a corner of the camp.
He first pulled Teng Yi aside and told him that Shanrou might not be dead.
Teng Yi was overjoyed, then frowned and said, "Then do we still have to deal with Tian Dan?"
Xiang Shaolong said resolutely: "Just because of the family feud between the second brother and the third sister Shanrou, we can't let Tian Dan go. Besides, Tian Dan has plotted against me many times and colluded with Lu Buwei. All these things will be settled against him."
If you miss this opportunity, you will never look back. No matter what, you cannot let this traitor return to Qi alive."
Then he smiled and said: "Also, I once boasted to Haikou that if I couldn't kill him, I would change his name to Long Shaoxiang. This name is a bit unpleasant."
Teng Yi laughed dumbly, beckoned Jing Jun and Liu Chao to come over, and told Liu Chao: "Speak for yourself."
Liu Chao whispered: "We detected that Gaolingjun's people secretly built rafts upstream and collected a large amount of firewood. It seems that they are going to burn the bridge."
Jing Jun said: "If we build a platform on the raft, pile up a lot of firewood, pour it with kerosene, and rush down from the upper reaches like a volcano in the dark, the momentum and destructive power will be quite amazing. Should we preemptively kill them?"
How about killing it?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "This trip we are going to create an opportunity for the political prince to show his military talents and establish his status as a wise and powerful warrior in the hearts of all Qin people. This is an image creation. Only in this way can we
He will continue to fight with Lu Buwei for a long time, until the moment when the crown prince holds a coronation ceremony at the age of twenty-one."
Teng Yi laughed and said, "Your terms are really weird. You talk about being wise, powerful, and image-building, but it does sound reasonable."
Jing Jun said excitedly: "I understand, so we have to grasp the other party's conspiracy, and then make a comprehensive plan, and then the prince pretends to be adaptable, so as to suppress all those who have different intentions."
Liu Chao said: "So this battle must not only be won, but also won beautifully."
Xiang Shaolong was in a good mood after knowing that Shanrou should still be alive, and said with a smile: "That's exactly it."
He also praised Jing Jun and said: "If you have to be as beautiful and elegant as Xiao Jun is better than Zhou Zihuan, you will be qualified."
Jing Jun quickly gave in, but he couldn't hide his lust.
Teng Yi smiled and said, "Did you get Lu Dan'er's red flower?"
Jing Jun said distressedly: "This girl is really difficult to serve. She is willing to cuddle and touch her, but she just has to guard the last step."
Liu Chao was also a flirtatious person. Hearing this, he said excitedly: "Is there something wrong with Master Jun's technique due to his lack of experience?"
Jing Jun smiled and scolded: "Fuck you. Am I not experienced enough? My techniques are top-notch. The problem is that I can't compete with you on this matter. Please correct your wrong views."
The three of them laughed heartily.
Xiang Shaolong thought that when men encounter this kind of thing, it is the same as it has been since ancient times, but no one is willing to admit it.
Teng Yi's mood was as clear as the sky, and he suddenly remembered something and said: "Yanran went to the Wang camp to accompany the widow Qing. When Tingfang asks you to return to the camp, she will go and pick them up."
Jing Jun smiled and said: "Third brother can now accompany my sisters-in-law. We brothers will be responsible for the other hard work."
Xiang Shaolong laughed and cursed, summoned the eighteen iron guards, and rode towards the royal camp.
As soon as he entered the wooden village, Xu Xian, surrounded by more than a dozen personal guards, was about to leave the village in the flames of flashing torches. When he saw Xiang Shaolong, he patted his horse and went to the top of the slope outside the village to talk to him.
In the plain, there are camps and tents everywhere, lights are everywhere, and the sound of Jingshui flowing through the earth corresponds to the laughter of those who still refuse to sleep in peace.
Xu Xian whispered: "Gaoling Lord has been lobbying Lu Gong and me for the past two days, urging us to work together to eradicate Lu Buwei and his traitors. He also promised that he has no ambitions for the throne, but he just doesn't want the Qin family to fall into the hands of a foreigner.
.”
Xiang Shaolong said: "There is no turning back for Lord Gaoling. There must be spies sent by Lu Buwei among his advisers, but he still doesn't know it. But on this point, he is far from Lu Buwei's opponent."
Xu Xiandao: "I'm a little surprised why Du Bi left Xianyang at this critical moment. It seems that he knew that Lord Gaoling would rebel, so he deliberately stayed out of the matter and watched with a cold eye. This man's boldness and stratagem are smarter than Lord Gaoling's.
too much."
Then he said: "Is Shaolong really sure of handling it? Don't forget that Lu Buwei will be playing tricks in the dark."
Xiang Shaolong said with full confidence: "The prince will personally handle this turmoil and ensure that Lu Buwei will not use his skills."
Xu Xian frowned and said: "The prince is still young and has no military experience. I'm afraid..."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "As long as the prince knows how to make good use of others, he will be fine."
Xu Xian was so shrewd that he laughed dumbly and said: "Just treat it as an exercise for him. When the time comes, Lu Gong and I will be with him so that everyone knows that he has our allegiance. Shaolong will see how to arrange it."
.”
Xiang Shaolong nodded happily.
Xu Xiandao: "Your fifth brother is very skilled and knows how to build momentum, which greatly dampened Lu Buwei's arrogance. He is really a rare talent. Both Lu Gong and I admire him very much. Have you given up your original intention to deal with Tian Dan?"
"
Naturally, Xiang Shaolong could not reveal his relationship with Prince Dan, so he said: "I will ask the Wei people to try to delay his journey to Chu. It only takes a few days for me to catch up with him. After I go, the cavalry army will meet
Leave it to Jing Jun to control, Xiang Xu, please take care of him." Xu Xian was surprised and said: "How can the people of Wei be willing to help you?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Except for Chu Yi, no one in the six eastern countries has much favorable impressions of Tian Dan. Considering the fact that I have returned the crown prince of Wei, how can Lord Long Yang help me with this?"
Xu Xian stopped asking questions and patted him on the shoulder to express his appreciation, and then the two of them left.
When he arrived at the gate of the village, the guard informed Xiaopan that he was about to see him, so he went to the king's camp to pay a visit to the king of Qin.
Xiaopan was having a secret discussion with Li Si, looking excited. Seeing Xiang Shaolong enter the tent, he called him over, and at the same time looked at the map spread out on the table. He saw the layout of the camp marked with symbols on it, where Lord Gaoling was located
More than ten tents behind the King's Camp are also displayed in red.
Xiang Shaolong understood his mentality and was even more happy for him. It was a rare opportunity for him to have the opportunity to display his military talents.
Xiaopan said: "I just summoned Jing Qing's family and asked him about the location of Lord Gaoling's rebel army. Now I'm discussing countermeasures with Li Qing. Li Qing, please tell me."
Just as Li Si was about to speak, he was kicked a few times by Xiang Shaolong, and he immediately understood and said: "We are just a little relieved. The main thing is that it was all decided by the prince. It is better for the prince to speak clearly."
Xiaopan became more energetic and said with a smile: "The only way Lord Gaoling can hope to succeed is to catch us by surprise so that we can attack our unpreparedness. Now that everything is in our calculations, it would be in vain if we allow one of them to miss out.
I have learned the art of war for so many years."
Pointing at the Jingshui River, he said: "I put myself in Lord Gaoling's shoes and first took advantage of the natural environment. For example, I blocked several rivers that penetrated the Jingshui River with wooden fences and wet mud. Then I destroyed the fences and let the swollen river water rush away.
Next, these four temporary wooden bridges can be destroyed immediately. If used appropriately in conjunction with the entire strategy, they can indeed have a decisive effect."
Xiang Shaolong was shocked, thinking that Liu Chao had spied on Lord Gao Ling's people cutting down trees, and he might have done this. It would be even more difficult to withstand than fire, and adding wooden fences to block water would be useless. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but
Looking towards Lisi.
Li Si clarified: "This is indeed the prince's own idea and has nothing to do with me."
Xiaopan said proudly: "Li Qing guessed the fire attack, but I think the water attack is more powerful. If you can put a group of giant trees in the water, they will break any bridge, and then send people on rafts
If we attack, we can just fire rockets and burn down the camps along the river."
Xiang Shaolong immediately looked at Xiaopan with admiration. This trip really gave the future Qin Shihuang a chance to show his power.
Then Xiaopan pointed at the map and talked about the various possibilities of Lord Gaoling's invasion, and also pointed out how Lu Buwei would use various situations to achieve the purpose of killing those who opposed him. It was so logical that Xiang Shaolong and Li Si were stunned.
I stood up and marveled at his meticulous thinking.
Finally, Xiaopan smiled bitterly and said: "The biggest problem I have is that I think of too many possibilities and feel that we have flaws everywhere. I don't know which method should be used to deal with it, which is the most effective. Can you two Qings help me solve this problem?
Problem?"
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but laugh and said: "The most powerful thing in the art of war is adaptability.
Don't worry, Crown Prince, as long as we seize the moment when he makes a move and take the lead, we will be able to catch Lord Gaoling and his people in one fell swoop. Lu Buwei can only stare blankly. Leave this matter to my brother Changping Lord and me to prepare, and then the Crown Prince will personally
Give orders and show some color to all those who don’t know how powerful the prince is."
Xiaopan sighed and said, "No one understands my feelings better than Taifu and Li Qing's family. Just do it like this."
Li Si said respectfully: "Wei Chen and Master Xiang will continue to report the latest news to the Crown Prince, and it will be up to the Crown Prince to make a decision."
Xiaopan nodded happily and suddenly changed the topic: "Taifu's fifth brother Jing Jun is very skilled, loyal and honest. I like him very much. Taifu Xiang, let me think about it, what can I reward him for?"
"
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but scratch his head and said: "His official position is already quite high, and his tenure is still young. He should be given more experience before he can consider the issue of promotion."
Xiaopan smiled and said: "Is he very interested in Lu Dan'er? Assuming that Mr. Lu doesn't object, I can accomplish this good thing and avoid falling into the hands of the traitor Guan Zhongxie."
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but think of the ugly shape of Ying Ying's breasts bouncing around in the palace. He felt like a needle pricked his heart. He nodded and said, "If you have the crown prince, it will be settled."
Xiaopan said happily: "I am so happy, but I still don't want to get married for now, because there are too many things waiting to be done."
After leaving Xiaopan's main tent, he met Chang Wenjun, grabbed him, pulled him to a corner and said: "My sister's attitude towards Shaolong has greatly improved. Let's take advantage of the victory and pursue the fight to a decisive battle. It's good that we two brothers will have nothing to do with each other."
Something on my chest."
Xiang Shaolong felt uncomfortable in his heart. Fortunately, he was not deeply involved in Ying Ying, otherwise the emotional blow would have been difficult to withstand. At the same time, he thought that in terms of the openness of the 21st century, Ying Ying's behavior was actually
It is understandable that both men and women have equal rights to be romantic and happy. The problem is that Guan Zhongxie is clearly targeting himself to get Yingying.
Xiang Changwenjun smiled bitterly and said: "I lost, how about we not mention this matter for now?" Changwenjun was stunned and said: "Guan Zhongxie?"
Xiang Shaolong nodded slightly, patted his shoulder as an apology, and walked away.
Qinqing's camp is located at the back of the main camp, and Zhu Ji's Queen Mother Luan tent. There are more than ten tents, all occupied by high-status women in the royal family. They are separated from other tents by wooden fences and are tightly guarded.
Although Xiang Shaolong was qualified to pass without obstruction, he still did not dare to break the rules. After reporting his intention, the guards sent a message. After a while, a personal maid from Qin Qing came out and told him that Ji Yanran and the girls had just
After leaving, Qin Qing had already gone to bed.
Xiang Shaolong understood that Qin Qing didn't want to see him in this situation and at this moment, so he shrugged and left.
