Xiang Shaolong sent Li Yan outside the house. More than thirty personal guards were waiting until their necks grew long. Li Yuan stepped forward and whispered: "Is Yanran here?"
Xiang Shaolong Huihui nodded.
After Li Yuan pondered for a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "I am very envious of Brother Xiang."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Want to see her?"
Li Yuan first showed a look of joy, then shook his head and said: "It's as if we haven't seen each other again. Brother Xiang, please say hello to her for me and tell her that Ji Yanran is the most respected and beloved daughter in my heart, Li Yan."
Yang Yao smiled, got on his horse, led the crowd and galloped out of the gate like a whirlwind.
Xiang Shaolong sighed with emotion, shook his head, and returned to the house. Just as he was about to go back to see Ji Yanran and report the matter to her, Banluo cut off Mrs. Zhuang's savings, dragged him to an unoccupied room, and whispered:
"What did Li Yuan tell you?"
Xu Shaolong thought of her attitude towards Li Yichuanqianmi just now, and felt angry, and said coldly: "It's all about using knives and guns, there's nothing special about it."
Mrs. Zhuang leaned over and examined his eyes carefully. When she saw that he was unnatural, she smiled like a flower and said softly: "Young dragon is a little jealous. I abandon myself to blame him for my happiness."
Xiang Shaolong simply showed his temper and said: "This is not a taboo, but a man who likes to hear a woman say that she is willing to be a cow or a horse for another man. This is a question of respect or disrespect. Let go.
How are your hands?"
Mrs. Zhuang held him tighter. She leaned close to his ear and breathed out: "If the person I want to talk to is Xiang Shaolong instead of Li Wei, I should change the name to a concubine to a maidservant. Shaolong understands.
Is that a rule?"
Xiang Shaolong muttered: "How can I be such a gullible person? Do you dare to say that Madam is not attracted to Li Yuan?"
Having said this, my heart moved, and I knew that I was indeed attracted to Mrs. Zhuang.
He can be said to be very graceful towards women, and he rarely scolds or hurts women. Even like the deliberate murders of Shan Meimei and Gui Yan, he never had the idea of settling a score with them.
The woman who scolded him the most was Zhao Ya, but in the end he forgave her and loved her as before.
But why was he so angry with Mrs. Zhuang?
Because Xiang Shaolong had been beaten so hard, he didn't want to imitate the men of the Qing Dynasty, who treated women as much as possible and took in more concubines. However, this was just wishful thinking. On the contrary, women kept leaning on him and hugging him, and willingly joined his concubines.
Inside the mushroom.
Man is not a piece of wood, how can he be ruthless?
In addition, he is easy to be soft-hearted towards women, so he was cautious and did not want to get involved in the affairs between men and women again.
So far, Qin Qing is the only one who blames Zheng Jin for his inability to restrain himself. He has restrained the others.
But Mrs. Zhuang's situation is very special.
No matter whether she succeeds in restoring the country or not, she will not become his Ji Lao. This is a matter of status. Mrs. Zhuang and her son have become the orthodoxy and symbol recognized by everyone in the Dian Kingdom. Once Mrs. Zhuang marries someone, this symbol will
Totally destroyed.
She can have a physical relationship with a man, which is very common in this era.
Therefore, even if Xiang Shaolong and Mrs. Zhuang have a love affair, it will only be short-lived. When Zhuang Baoyi ascends the throne and Xiang Shaolong leaves Dian, this relationship between man and woman will come to an end.
Precisely because he no longer had this psychological barrier, and because Xiang Shaolong had great sympathy for the helpless mother and son, he unconsciously gradually accepted Mrs. Zhuzhuang, which may be called love for a long time.
It's just that even he himself didn't know what it was that Zha suddenly woke up when he was so angry now.
Although Mrs. Zhuang was scolded, she did not react as if she was being scolded. Anyway, she said: "You are right, Li Yuan is indeed a man who makes my heart beat, and she ignored his words and was angry with her heart.
He still supported me righteously. If I hadn't met you, I would definitely repay with my body. But I won't do it now because I'm afraid you will look down on me. If you confess your heart like this, you will be satisfied.
"Xiang Shaolong sighed and said: "But now that you have stirred up Li Yuan's heart, I'm afraid things can't be controlled by you?"
Mrs. Zhuang said: "Don't worry, I have rich experience in dealing with men."
Jieshan smiled charmingly and said: "I did it on purpose just now, just to see how your heartless person would react. Now I finally know. Alas, Young Master, how about I let you sleep with me now?"
Xiang Shaolong thought of Ji Yanran and Zhao Zhi and hardened his heart: "This is the agreement we made earlier. Important matters are important. Let's put aside the love affair between men and women for now."
Mrs. Zhuang was so moved that her eyes turned red. She lowered her head and said, "This is the first man I have ever met who helped me not for my beauty." As she spoke, she leaned closer and squeezed closer to him.
Only then did Xiang Shaolong tell her about his identity being revealed and his alliance with Li Yuan. Mrs. Zhuang was stunned when she heard this. She was overjoyed and forced Xiang Shaolong to have a romantic relationship with her before she was willing to let him go.
Xiang Shaolong returned to his residence and repeated the story to Ji and Zhao. The two girls were also dumbfounded as they did not expect that things would develop in such an unexpected way.
Ji Yanran said happily: "Li Yuanzhui is a selfish, narrow-minded and unscrupulous person, but he is still a man of insight. In this situation, forming an alliance with you is the smartest thing to do. Besides, with you
If you disobey your friends, you may be dissatisfied with the Qin State for not taking the Chu State as the first target to conquer."
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard for me to say anything about this matter. If you don't hit someone, they will hit you. Don't say that friends can become enemies. Even father, son and brothers can turn against each other. Ji Cainv is well versed in history and is right to
You should have some experience with this." - Zhao Zhi nodded and said: "My husband is right, He Zhu now has friends everywhere, Xiang Lang, even if he wants to help, he doesn't know which country he should help."
Xiang Shaolong said frankly: "I am a person who only loves peace and dislikes war. In the future, after the crown prince ascends the throne, we will take him to another place and find a wilderness or valley with beautiful mountains and rivers to grow old. Wouldn't that be quite satisfying?"
Your daughter was so moved that she threw herself into his arms.
At this time, Jing Shan came to report that Qu Shiming, the inner city official, wanted to see him.
Xiang Shaolong was greatly surprised, and when Ji Yanran raised the gate, he realized that the inner city officials were waiting for him, like the commander of the imperial guards, and he hurriedly came out of the front hall to meet the guests suspiciously.
When Qu Shi was about ten years old next year, he had a gentleman's demeanor and a kind face. He was tall, tall, and handsome, giving people the impression of being a treacherous person.
However, this was only a superficial illusion, because Xiang Shaolong always felt that there was something else in his eyes that was completely opposite to the appearance, which made him realize that Qu Shiming was the kind of person who hides his sword behind a smile.
After greetings.
Qu Shiming said: "The Queen Mother ordered me to come and invite General Wan into the palace. Can General Wan set off immediately?"
Song Shaolong secretly thought that now that the sun was gone and the road to the palace was a thoroughfare, he should not be afraid of his tricks, and if there was an incident, he could escape on the crowded road, so he nodded in agreement and rode with him.
Go to the palace.
Along the way, Qu Shiming talked and laughed about the sights and buildings along the bathing route, which enabled him to get a lot of information. At least he knew that a magnificent building next to the palace was Chun Shen Jun's Mansion, and that Li Yuan's Left Prime Minister's Mansion was located next to Chun Shen Jun's Mansion.
On the opposite side.
Li Yuan has residences both inside and outside the palace, and his relationship with Li Yanyan is naturally closer than that of other Li clan members or Chun Shen Jun. No wonder that although Chun Shen Jun is jealous, he has been unable to do anything to him so far.
But when Li Ling entered Shouchun, Tian Dan and Chun Shenjun openly colluded, and this balance was finally broken.
After entering the palace, Shenren dismounted.
Qu Shiming whispered, "The Queen Mother wants to meet General Wan in the Yangxinzeyuan of her East Palace. That is where she plays the piano to entertain herself. When she is in a bad mood, she might play a piece for her husband to listen to."
Xiang Shaolong secretly wondered whether Li Yanyan really fell in love with him, but when he thought about it, it was unlikely that a woman who hated men could change in just two years.
But it was useless to think too much, so I just followed Qu Shiming.
Eight imperial guards were leading the way, while the other sixteen were following behind. Their protection for him was a little too much, but it was clear that Li Yanyan protected him.
These 14 imperial guards are obviously special elites. They are all strong and strong, with thick necks and thick shoulders. They are all powerful men. If the Chu soldiers are all of this level, even the Qin people are not certain.
opponent.
At this time, Xiang Shaolong and Qu Tingming, surrounded by people in front and behind, walked through a gravel path in the East Garden. The surrounding flowers and trees, small pavilions, small pavilions, and running water and fish ponds made the garden full of life.
There is a row of houses outside the grass trees on the left, but no one is inside.
It was quiet and no one was around.
Qu Shiming pointed to the building and said, "General Wan, please take a look." Xiang Shaolong followed his guidance and asked, "What are you looking at?"
At this moment, I suddenly felt a sharp and hard object hit my right waist, and there was a "ding" sound.
Xiang Shaolong suddenly knew what was going on.
Qu Shiming used a dagger to plot against him, but it hit his pocket full of flying needles hidden at his waist.
Without thinking, he hit Qu Shiming's ribs with his elbow.
Qu Shiming dropped the dagger to the ground, and with the sound of his ribs breaking, he fell to the side miserably, but he still shouted: "Do it!"
The first one to strike was Xiang Shaolong. He changed the scabbard of his sword to hide it from others, and the bloody sword came out of its scabbard. The two people closest to the front immediately fell to the ground with their collars scratched, splattered with blood.
Xiang Shaolong knew that it was not advisable to force himself into an enemy, so he threw himself sideways into a bunch of bushes. When he emerged from the other side, the enemy's offensive was already in full swing.
There are people on the left and right coming to fight with all their might, as fierce as a mad tiger.
Xiang Shaolong knew that he could never retreat, so he mustered up his unrivaled fighting spirit and charged forward. He destroyed many flowers, but he avoided the danger of being surrounded. Then he suddenly spun around and blood waves of lightning struck out.
These imperial guards must be one of a thousand masters. When the man in front of them used his sword to fight against his fierce sword, he couldn't avoid Xiang Shaolong's swift kick from below.
Falling to the ground howling miserably.
The two people rushing behind them couldn't hold back their momentum, and they almost fell to the ground because of the confusion.
Xiang Shaolong's light surged, and the beryllium flew in a circle. Both of them fell down with their swords thrown, and fell on the spot.
At this time, people from Genggao came from three directions in front, and they all came out from among the grass, flowers and trees.
However, no one shouted, they just attacked without saying a word.
Xiang Shaolong's heart moved. He shouted loudly and ran towards the house on the left.
When running onto a small bridge, there was a sound of wind behind him. Xiang Shaolong knew something was wrong. He fell onto the bridge and a long sword passed through the air above.
Xu Shaolong jumped up on the bridge and used a move to attack instead of defend. He conjured up heavy waves of swords and struck back at the two people who rushed up.
With a "choke" glance, the man on the left only had half of his long sword left.
Unfortunately, Xiang Shaolong had no chance to kill him. When he took advantage of the situation and forced the other person back, he saw only seven or eight enemies crossing the stream that ran through Qiao Xian, trying to rush to the other side of Jiao to intercept him.
Xiang Shaolong let go of the enemy in front of him, jumped onto the bridge, flipped four times in the air, and landed on a patch of ground.
The two enemies immediately rushed over fiercely.
Xiang Shaolong cried out in his heart, because each of these people had weak martial arts skills and bullied others, which was enough to kill him. If he was stopped and fought hard, he would be unlucky. He gritted his teeth and rolled over on the ground.
Although the two enemies were brave, they had seen such a fighting style. When they panicked, one of them had already had Xu Shaolong's leg tape wrapped around his lower limbs and fell to the ground; the other was penetrated by the blood wave.
.
The prisoner was surrounded by silhouettes of men and swords.
Xiang Shaolong let go of the fallen man and rolled towards the side of a large tree. He bounced up after hitting the tree, and three long swords slashed at him from different angles.
Xiang Shaolong knew that this was a critical situation. If he could not break out of the siege, he would die here today. He shouted wildly and used the "offensive and defensive skills" at the bottom of the box. The three swords struck him.
Guang Shang was even forced to retreat by his sword that seemed to have infinite backlash.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see other people chasing after him like crazy, forming a deadlock of encirclement.
Xiang Shaolong looked up and saw a stick protruding generously above, and the branches and leaves even higher above him. He was overjoyed. Before the enemy could attack, he returned his sword to its sheath, jumped up, and grabbed the thick tree with both hands.
On the horizontal branch of Ruo'er's arm.
Upon seeing this, the enemy jumped up and attacked with his sword.
Xiang Shaolong's feet flew out from left and right, sweeping towards the swords of the two men. The two swords were immediately deflected.
Both feet were kicked out again, and the two of them were kicked in the face, blood burst out, and they fell down.
He borrowed some strength from his waist and slapped him on the upper pole. The bottom was already full of enemies.
Three swords were thrown at him.
Xiang Shaolong leaned against the tree, avoiding the long sword, and quickly climbed up.
The enemy was in disarray, and he looked at the enemy at a loss. He could only go to sea and carry the crossbow and arrows with him.
After reaching the top of the tree, it was eight or nine feet above the ground.
Xiang Shaolong was so excited that he opened his throat and yelled like a sentinel on a sentinel, "Rebellion; rebellion!" The four enemies began to climb up.
Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed, pulled out the bloody wave, and faced him down. With a condescending attitude, he cut melons and vegetables and chopped the prisoners down from the tree. It was almost impossible to survive.
At this time, Qu Shiming worked hard to reach the tree by pressing the fractured spot under his ribs. He was at his wits' end and lost control, shouting: "Cut the tree!"
Xiang Shaolong laughed and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
If you were to use a long sword to cut down this huge tree that a man could not hold, you would not be able to do it for half an hour.
At this moment, countless guards poured into Xunzao from all directions.
Qu Shiming's face changed drastically and he shouted: "Let's go"
However, they were already a step too late. The guards surrounded the people and trees. When they saw that it was their superior, Qu Shiming, they all froze.
"The Queen Mother has arrived"
The guards hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Xiang Shao's cage at the top of the tree is inconvenient to hit, so he is a rabbit.
