Xiang Shaolong and Li Yuan left a little early and met at a side street to exchange the latest news.
The two hid in the carriage, and Li Yuan asked: "What does the Queen Mother want from you?"
Xiang Shaolong paid attention to the situation outside the window and said casually: "She wants me to kill Li Quan, Li Ling and Lord Chun Shen."
Li Yuan cheered up and said, "Did she really say that?"
Xiang Shaolong muttered, "Am I going to lie to you? Why does she hate Lord Chun Shen so much?"
Li Yuan sighed dejectedly: "She hates all men who have defiled her body, including King Xiaoyeol."
Xiang Shaolong said: "What's new in your area?"
Li Yuandao: "It seems that Chun Shen Jun is only using tricks like fighting and poisoning to deal with us. Because the guests invited tonight are all ministers, as well as envoys from foreign countries or princes. How brave are Chun Shen Jun and Li Quan?"
You don't dare to have hundreds of people come out to kill us in this situation."
Xiang Shaolong said in a deep voice: "Is there anyone from Yelang on the guest list?"
Li Yuandao: "I didn't see King Yelang's name. But that doesn't mean he won't come. Lord Chun Shen should know that it's easy for me to see the list of guests he invited."
Xiang Shaolong said calmly: "I have decided to decide the winner with Chun Shenjun and Li Quan at the banquet, otherwise there will be no chance for me. If I am not wrong, I will arrange it tomorrow."
The army, Lord Chun Shen, will be in trouble, and you should cooperate inside and outside to control Shouchun with overwhelming force. Because the inner city army fell into your hands, it was really painful for them. This banquet is just to drag us there. What's more, because of Shouchun
The most important people in spring are all gathered here, and there is no way to make contingency arrangements for a while, so naturally it is in their best interest."
Li Yuan said in astonishment: "But there are three thousand generals in the Chun Shen Lord's Mansion. We can only have sixty people, some of whom have to stay in the square outside to start a fight. It's lucky to escape with our lives, how can we still put it aside?"
An enemy to death?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "To shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first capture the king. Have Brother Li ever heard of these two wise sayings?"
Li Yuan read it twice. His eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand.
Xiang Shaolong said: "I almost forgot something very important. Is Tian Dan on the guest list?"
Li Yuan shook his head and said: "I was about to tell you this. Since he and Chun Shenjun had breakfast this morning, Tian Dan has disappeared. I think he may have left Shouchun."
Xiang Shaolong's heart sank, and he said distressedly: "If he leaves the city, he will not be able to hide it from the people guarding the city. Why don't you know it at all?"
Li Yuan said helplessly: "If Dou Jie makes arrangements for him, even Wuzhan would have a hard time intervening, so it is really easy to secretly cover Tian Dan out of the city."
Xiang Shaolong made up his mind and said: "After this incident, we have to take action. Only from Chun Shenjun's mouth can we know where Tian Dan has gone."
Li Yuan understood what he meant. If Tian Dan returned, Xiang Shaolong must solve Shouchun's matter as quickly as possible and then pursue him all the way.
He sighed and said, "Brother Xiang has delayed his own big event because of me. I'm so sorry. But having said that, our chances of winning tonight are actually not high."
Xiang Shaolong shook his head with a smile and said: "If you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Now I have a new idea. I simply replaced Brother Li's entourage with my people. As long as Lord Chun Shen doesn't know that we are secretly carrying crossbows, this will
We have at least a 70% chance of winning in a battle. This is truly a battle that uses our own strengths to control the enemy's weaknesses. We use crossbows to defeat long swords; we use efficiency, speed and the strategy of avoiding the most important to deal with the opponent's overwhelming numbers." Then he approached him.
Something was said in my ear.
Li Yuan sighed: "Even if Sun Wu comes back to life, it will be difficult for him to defeat Brother Xiang's clever plan."
Xiang Shaolong secretly smiled in his heart, this is exactly the creed of the special forces, elites defeat mediocrity. As long as you catch the weakest link of the enemy, it is like grabbing the throat of a poisonous snake. No matter how powerful it is, you can only surrender and capture it.
After the two broke up, Li Yuan went to the palace to see Li Yanyan and told everything, while Xiang Shaolong went directly to Chun Shenjun's banquet.
After entering the outer gate, I saw that the large square in front of the main house, which could accommodate a thousand people for exercise, was full of cars and horses and brightly lit.
The main residence is located on a white stone platform, surrounded by corridors, connecting the buildings on the left, right and rear. There are towering ancient trees among the buildings, creating an elegant environment.
Xiang Shaolong was deeply touched.
The status of Lord Chu is obviously far inferior to that of Lord Qin.
During the period when King Zhuang Xiang was in mourning, Xianyang stopped all banquets and festive activities. But the people here were completely different. From this point, we can see one of the main reasons why Qin was superior to Chu.
Xiang Shaolong and his men jumped off their horses, six of them were responsible for taking care of the horses, and the other twenty-four followed him to the main house.
It is common for dignitaries to bring a dozen or so family members to a banquet. Twenty-four is a bit too much. But in this case, Chun Shenjun would never object, let alone how could he let twenty-four people go.
In the heart.
Up and down the steps of the main house were all the generals of Chunshenjun's mansion. Chunshenjun and his two sons Huang Zhan and Huang Ba welcomed the guests.
Xiang Shaolong walked towards the long steps. Halfway there, someone from behind shouted: "Ah, please stay."
Xiang Shaolong stopped in astonishment, looked back, and looked at the person who was chasing him, feeling the same astonishment.
It was Han Chuang who came. He looked strange, coughed and said, "I'm sorry, I got the wrong person."
Xiang Shaolong knew that he recognized Xiang Shaolong from his back, but because his whole appearance had become so powerful, Han Chuang was no longer sure when he saw his face.
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "I am Wan Ruiguang now, hello, Lord Marquis"
Han Chuang understood immediately, blinked, and went to greet other Chu Chen.
Xiang Shaolong felt warm in his heart. Although Han Chuang had many shortcomings, he was still a very good friend.
When he stepped up the stone steps, Lord Chun Shen came forward to welcome him with a hidden smile and said: "I am honored to have General Wan come here, but why can't I see the Princess of Dian and the young prince?"
Xiang Shaolong paid an audience according to the rules and said apologetically: "My little lord is not feeling well, so Princess Dian has to stay and take care of him. Please forgive me."
Chun Shenjun said hurriedly: "I will immediately send someone to diagnose and treat the young prince, and I will guarantee that the disease will be cured with guaranteed medicine."
Xiang Shaolong glanced at Huang Zhan, Huang Ba and the other generals who were glaring at him, and laughed secretly in their hearts, thinking that no matter how sharp your eyes were, you would never have guessed that there would be a crossbow in the world that could be folded up and hidden in your trousers.
This is the benefit of "high technology".
He responded: "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. My little lord has just taken the medicine. If he still doesn't feel better tomorrow, I will trouble you to take care of him again."
At this moment, someone will lead Xiang Shaolong into the lobby.
It was a vast hall comparable to a palace. There were four huge wooden pillars on each side, supporting the four main beams across the roof.
The chairman is located at the south end of the main gate. There are three rows of seats on the left and right. There are at least a hundred seats in the front row. The guests in the front are naturally seated, and the seats in the back are reserved for family members and others.
At this time, most of the seats were filled with guests, and more than a hundred maids in colorful clothes were waiting on the table like flowers and butterflies, creating a joyful and lively atmosphere.
Xiang Shaolong caught a glimpse of Guo Kai, who had not seen him for a long time, sitting at the left table. After he became the Prime Minister of Zhao, he was full of energy and joy, and was chatting and laughing with Long Yangjun at the next table.
At this time, the general leading the way said: "Master Wan, please"
Xiang Shaolong followed him to the fourth seat on the right.
Jing Shan and others squeezed into the two seats at the back and sat down in several rows.
After Long Yangjun diagonally opposite him exchanged glances with him, Guo Kai looked at him, but obviously did not recognize him as Xiang Shaolong.
At this time, the hall was noisy. The guests took advantage of the moment before the banquet started to exchange greetings and inquire about the current situation. Xiang Shaolong was the only one who was left alone. Only occasionally did envoys from the Hou Kingdom wave and say hello to him.
A maid came over to pour wine for him.
Xiang Shaolong glanced at her and saw that her complexion was quite dark, she had a small square mole on her left cheek, and she had an ordinary appearance. He had no interest in looking at her anymore, and instead started to look at other people.
Li Quan happened to be opposite him, and after giving him a disdainful look, he spoke to Cheng Suning without even looking at him, as if he had turned into a dead person and would no longer have any influence on him.
When Xiang Shaolong sneered in his heart, a familiar pleasant voice came from his ears: "The dead ghost is pretending to be a ghost again."
Xiang Shaolong's body trembled so hard that he almost shouted out Shanrou's name. Just when he was about to take another look at the maid in front of the banquet, Shanrou scolded: "Don't look at me, there is a secret door behind you that leads to the outside.
Corridor, be careful”
After that, Yingying left.
Xiang Shaolong was reunited with the confidante who had always fascinated her, and her spirits were lifted. The whole world was filled with life, color, and passionate expectations and desires.
At the same time, I was stunned.
From the outside, this lobby only has two side doors in the middle, connecting the corridor outside and the long corridor leading directly to the left and right courtyards. If Shanrou hadn't pointed it out, I would have never known that there was a secret door behind the banquet. Chun Shenjun did this
It was indeed very powerful, and he almost fell into trouble.
He hurriedly waved his hand to summon Jing Shan and told him about it.
After Jing Shan stepped back, his heart was still filled with the image of kindness and tenderness.
This beauty is indeed very powerful. She was able to work as a maid in Chunshen Lord's Mansion, looking for opportunities to assassinate Tian Dan.
At this time, Shanrou served another delicacy, whispered, "There are spears hidden under the corridor outside," and then moved to another table.
Xiang Shaolong felt relieved, as the opponent obviously still didn't dare to use long-range weapons like crossbows, for fear of missing the target and accidentally injuring others.
At this time, guests came in large numbers, and the gatekeeper announced the names of the guests one by one. Xiang Shaolong did not recognize most of them, but he only knew from the titles that the guests were either from the royal family or important ministers, and had a distinguished status.
Dou Jie, Wu Zhan, Lian Anting and Du Gui, the four figures who hold the military power in Shouchun, did not appear. This is a matter of course. Now Shouchun is relaxed internally and externally, and Doujie's army is interacting with the inner and outer city armies.
Confront each other, contain each other, and no one can do anything to the other for the time being.
Qu Shiming's failure in plotting against Xiang Shaolong was the biggest failure for Chun Shenjun and Li Quan. The control of the inner city army fell into the hands of Li Yanyan and Li Yuan, forcing the enemy to resort to other dangerous measures to deal with them.
At this time, the gate official sang: "King Lan is here!"
Xiang Shaolong looked toward the door, and the first thing he saw was his lustrous jade arms and beautiful legs.
Their owners are sexy beauties full of wild beauty and compelling youth.
This woman is wearing a dress made of thin leather. She has lowered eyebrows, bare breasts and exposed arms. She is extremely attractive.
The most eye-catching thing is that when she was looking around, her sweet smile and flirtatious eyes immediately attracted the attention of everyone.
Xiang Shaolong finally moved his eyes to King Qielan next to her. He had a feather crown on his head and a long robe. He was short and fat, and his facial features seemed to be squeezed into the middle of his face. When he walked, he swayed from side to side, looking straight.
Talk to Chun Shenjun next to you.
The dozen or so personal guards behind him were all at least a head and a half taller than him, and they all showed thick legs and arms, giving people a sense of the barbaric style of a foreign race.
When Lord Chun Shen came to give him instructions, Xiang Shaolong knew that King Qielan was asking Chun Shen Lord about him. Sure enough, King Qielan's slender eyes looked at him. After getting rid of Lord Chun Shen, he strode to take the lead.
Walk towards him.
Xiang Shaolong quickly stood up and saluted.
King Qilan laughed from a distance and said: "Wan Ruiguang is worthy of being the first warrior in southern Yunnan. When he arrived in Shouchun, he immediately drove away the rats who dared to occupy the palace of the Prince of Dian. It was very satisfying."
This public expression of support immediately made all the guests pay attention.
Li Quan snorted again, expressing his dissatisfaction.
King Qi Lan didn't know whether he really couldn't hear or just couldn't hear. He came to the table and raised his right palm.
Xiang Shaolong had already been taught by Madam Zhuang, so he quickly raised his right palm and struck him three times.
King Qilan said to the charming girl: "Caicai, come and meet Wan Yongyang. Ha, this is the little girl Na Caicai. I want to take her to see the prosperous scene of Dachu."
Na Caicai saluted Yingying, her seductive eyes gave him a look, and she smiled before saying anything: "General Wan is so strong."
This sentence immediately caused a buzz and murmur. It is indeed rare for a beautiful woman to be so bold and unscrupulous in judging a man for the first time.
At this time, Lord Chun Shen rushed up and was about to lead him to sit on the right seat. King Qi Lan pointed to the seat Xiang Shaolong was sitting on and said, "I will sit on this seat."
Chun Shenjun's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he reluctantly agreed.
While there was a commotion, the gatekeeper sang: "The King of Yelang has arrived."
King Qilan completely ignored his manners, turned his head and spit out a mouthful of saliva with a "bah" sound, expressing his disdain to hear the name of King Yelang, and then led the hot Princess Nacaicai of Qilan to sit on Xiang Shaolong's table.
, making it clear that he and Wan Ruiguang, played by Xiang Shaolong, are on the same side.
Everything is well arranged.
After the singer withdrew, King Yelang burst out laughing. His fierce eyes fell on Xiang Shaolong, and he raised his glass and said, "First of all, I would like to toast to General Wan, and then I have something to ask, and I would like to ask General Wan for advice."
Xiang Shaolong and Li Yuan exchanged glances. They both knew that the show was about to begin, and it was better for the enemy to take the lead first.
