When the audience heard the word "Crown Prince" and looked at them, Huan Qi, who had been silent until now, stood up and loudly said: "The two generals are right, it is the Prince who asked me to accompany Lord Xiang to relax.
General, please take a seat."
When everyone heard that this was what happened, they were immediately relieved.
At this time, Wang Chi and Wang Ling noticed the false beard on Xiaopan's chin and saw that he was wearing the warrior uniform of an ordinary nobleman. They woke up and sat down at the table.
Suddenly he heard the sound of chattering teeth. It turned out that Wu Fu's face was blue and his lips were white. He didn't know whether he should kneel down. It was obvious that he had figured out who Xiao Pan was.
When everyone shouted that something was wrong again, Wu Fu's legs went weak and he knelt down.
Teng Yiren was quick to think. He reached out a hand and pulled him to sit sideways beside him, as if he were sitting on a mat just before he hit his knees.
Lord Changping leaned close to his ear and said, "If anyone besides Master Wu knows that the Crown Prince is here, I will seal off your Zuifeng Tower and raid your home. Is that clear? You are not allowed to kowtow if you hum."
"
Wu Fu was so frightened that his hands and feet were weak, and he even lost the strength to nod.
Xiao Pan praised softly: "Just seeing how calm everyone is in the face of danger and how well they respond, we know that the rise of our Great Qin is just around the corner."
Xiang Shaolong knew that Wu Fu was there, so he couldn't speak at all, so he said gently and politely: "Master Wu, as long as you act according to your orders, I, Xiang Shaolong, can guarantee that you will not be in trouble without taking care of everything. Remember not to inform the four girls secretly."
Wu Fu reluctantly got up, bowed respectfully, and rolled away.
Wang Chi raised his glass and wanted to toast Xiao Pan, but then he remembered something and asked, "Have these wines been tested?"
The imperial guard sitting on the seat behind him said: "Report to the general, everything has been tested."
Wang Chi then toasted to Xiao Pan.
No one dared to raise their glasses, and only when the small plate signaled everyone did they drink loudly.
After the "thrilling" just now, the atmosphere became lively again.
Xiaopan asked casually and found out that Wang Chi and Wang Ling had come to meet at Pu Hu's invitation.
Wang Ling snorted coldly: "This Pu Hu has ulterior motives. He criticized the government as soon as we met, saying all the faults of Lu Buwei, and also vaguely implicated the Queen Mother. He didn't talk much about speculation. Later, we saw Wu Fu coming and informed the wine waiter.
Bai Lei and Yang Yu said that Lord Xiang is here and wants to summon them, so we took the opportunity to leave."
Xiaopan snorted coldly and said nothing.
Wang Qia smiled and said: "Shaolong's charm is so great. When the two girls heard that they were called, they wanted to run away immediately, but Wu Fu stopped them and they had to take turns to come here. Now Yang Yu goes back to change clothes, they should be there soon."
Xiaopan asked in surprise: "Did the two generals see it wrong? Aren't they from Lu Buwei?"
Wang Chi said: "In the final analysis, they are all flowers without an owner. Whoever is more powerful will depend on the other. But my sister loves to be pretty, and Shaolong is now a hero of our Daqin, and he has to be devoted to the talented girl Ji.
Marry him, who among the women in the world wouldn’t want to be close to him?”
Xiaopan happily raised her glass to Xiang Shaolong to drink, but the latter drank hurriedly.
Everyone was secretly disappointed by Xiao Pan's demeanor.
With the sound of rings, Wu Fu personally led the way, and two maidservants accompanied Yang Yu in costumes. They moved lightly with jade steps, and they were indeed graceful and graceful.
Xiao Pan Da Le said: "It really lives up to its reputation."
Suddenly someone shouted: "Miss Yu, please stay."
Everyone looked at him in astonishment. It turned out to be Xu Shanghua, a young and handsome newcomer to the Lu family who was known as the best swordsman in Shangcai.
I saw him walking over with a displeased look on his face.
Yang Yu stopped, frowned, looked at Xiang Shaolong, and then at Xu Shang who was striding towards him, with an air of not knowing what to do.
Wu Fu, who was most anxious, asked his two maids to take Yang Yu to Xiaopan's table, but Yang Yu dismissed the two maids.
On the contrary, Xiaopan found it interesting and said with a smile: "It's rare for so many people to come to the brothel, it's because of this kind of fun of competing for each other."
Xu Shang's face was covered with a layer of ice like the earth outside. He first said to Wu Fu coldly: "Master Wu just said that Miss Yu has made a reservation for General Du. Why can she come out to serve wine now?"
Yang Yu obviously had a good impression of Xu Shang. He went to Xu Shang and said a few words, and then gave some advice to Xiang Shaolong. Of course, he said good things.
Wang Zhi is the current heavyweight in the Qin family's military. He snorted coldly: "Who is this kid? Are you tired of living? Even if Lu Buwei comes, you don't dare not give me face."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "General, please don't get angry with people like this. Lu Buwei's people are used to doing whatever they want. We will settle the accounts with them later."
Wang Chi snorted and said no more.
Wu Fu hurriedly came over to plead guilty. Before he could say anything, Xiao Pan said, "This matter has nothing to do with the poster. You don't have to blame yourself. Miss Yu can come when she likes. If she doesn't come, forget it."
Wu Funa was greatly surprised when he thought that the Lord of Qin was so friendly to him.
Changping Jun asked him to say a few words, and Wu Fu hurried away again.
Xu Shang still seemed to be about to walk towards them, but he was pulled by Yang Yu, and he faintly heard her mention the name Wang Chi.
Yang Duan and Nai Wangzhi, the number one generals, suddenly changed their expressions. They stood up and were about to yell, but they were forced to sit down by Li Si on the other side. The latter laughed and said: "General Yang, why do you want to deal with such a person?"
What about general knowledge?”
At this time, Xu Shang glared at Xiang Shaolong fiercely and returned to his seat. Yang Yu came over and smiled without saying a word, which immediately diluted the tense atmosphere.
Under Xiang Shaolong's instructions, Yang Yu sat down next to Xiaopan confused. Although he only knew that Xiaopan's surname was Qin and his name was Shi, he didn't know who he was, but he always knew that this person could make Lord Changping, Wang Chi, and Xiang
Shaolong and the others treated him respectfully. Wu Fu had just told her to serve her attentively, so he didn't dare to neglect him. He tried his best, toasted and laughed with her, and got into a quarrel. After a while, the small plate was properly attached to the plate.
, the atmosphere was harmonious and lively, as if nothing had happened.
After a while, Gui Yan also came, and the other guests in the venue were not surprised. Wang Chi alone was qualified enough to ask these two Hong Aunts to wait on him.
Gui Yan sat down next to Xiang Shaolong affectionately. She paid respect to everyone first, and when she finally paid respect to Xiang Shaolong, she whispered: "Master Xiang has a lot of money, don't you want to argue with this little girl?"
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that even if he put a sword to his neck, he would never dare to trust her, so of course he accepted it politely.
At this time, Yang Yu said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Xiang Shaolong with deep meaning. After a while, Bai Lei came instead, but the beauty of the four flowers was still gone.
Among the four girls, Bai Lei and Xiang Shaolong were the least formal, and they were very considerate to Xiao Pan, making the atmosphere even more harmonious.
Gui Yan leaned into Xiang Shaolong's ear and said, "Master Xiang, would you like to stay tonight? I will serve you wholeheartedly." She gave him another flirtatious look.
Xiang Shaolong thought to himself that people say that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, but I feel exactly the opposite, and I know you won't come to harm me again.
I politely declined.
When Gui Yan couldn't hide her disappointment, Wu Fu came back with a distressed look on his face and stopped talking: "I'm afraid Meimei won't be able to come."
Changping Jun frowned and said, "Meimei how dare you not give us face?"
Wu Fu was shocked and waved his hand: "Not only was she summoned to Father Zhong's house, I sent people to invite her three times, but they were all kicked out. Alas, I can't tell...hey, there's nothing more."
Everyone felt uninterested.
Xiaopan's eyes flashed coldly and he said: "Let's end this matter and end it here tonight. It was a very good night."
Wu Fu felt relieved, but Gui Yan and Bai Lei refused to respond, showing off their flattery.
Unexpectedly, these tricks, which are effective for any man, are of no use when it comes to Xiao Pan. The future Qin Shihuang smiled faintly, stood up, and left with his hands behind his back. Everyone hurriedly followed him.
Xiang Shaolong hooked Gui Yan's neck, kissed her cheek, and said softly: "If you want to be happy and enjoy your good years, beauty, you have to take care of yourself."
Gui Yan's expression darkened, and she lowered her head and said, "Yan Yan will definitely obey your orders. I only hope that you can show some compassion. Yan Yan is very grateful."
Xiang Shaolong returned the greeting with a smile to Bai Lei on the other side, and then he left calmly.
Back home, Jing Jun was still very excited. As soon as he entered the hall, he pulled Xiang Shaolong and Teng Yi, who were about to sneak back to his beloved wife, and said, "Wu Fu, this bastard really knows how to navigate the wind. When he saw Wang Chi,
Wang Ling and others all support the prince, and when they went out, they secretly told me that they would come to visit the third brother in person later, haha, this bastard is really good."
Teng Yi muttered: "I think he is caught between Lu Buwei and Miao Du. Neither side dares to offend him, so he is miserable. Just now Bai Chong told me that Lu Buwei intends to take Dan Meimei as his concubine. Wu Fu is very worried."
I’m troubled.”
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Tonight seems to be just a fool's errand, but in fact it is of far-reaching significance. First, the prince clearly understood the struggle between Lu and Miao, and secondly, he accidentally knew that Pu Huzheng and Du Bi were plotting against each other. And the other is
There are three people who will benefit. The second brother does not care about wealth, so you can ignore it. The quick wit that Li Si and Huan Qi showed just now won the hearts of the princes, and will be of great benefit to their official fortunes."
After talking for a while, Xiang Shaolong was so drunk that he couldn't hold it any longer and went back to his room to sleep.
All the loving wives and maidservants spared him a few words. In a daze, it was already three o'clock in the morning when he woke up.
Tian Zhen and Tian Feng helped him get up and get dressed, took out the Hundred Battles Sword, and after asking Teng Yi to loosen his muscles and bones, he felt refreshed, refreshed, and full of energy.
Ji Yanran said in surprise: "Why did my husband come back drunk after having a wild and drunken life last night, but today he is in high spirits, even better than before? It's really unreasonable."
Xiang Shaolong waved his Hundred Battle Sword and said with a smile: "I would be lying to you if I said I didn't care about Guan Zhongxie and tonight's victory or defeat. But the drunkenness last night was just right. It made me forget everything, so I got
It’s been a rare moment of relaxation these days, and I’ve slept more than usual, so I’m in good shape now.”
Teng Yi muttered: "They said it was just not bad, and I almost lost my Mo Sword."
All the girls laughed in unison, beaming with joy.
While talking and laughing, Tao Fang and Jing Jun accompanied Wu Yingyuan.
In a jubilant mood, everyone had breakfast together, and there was no tense atmosphere at all before a storm was about to come.
After Jing Jun and Teng Yi returned to the official office, Xiang Shaolong chatted with his father-in-law in the hall, talking about the large ranch that Wu Zhuo had established outside the Great Wall. Hearing Xiang Shaolong's admiration, he wished that Xiaopan would be crowned tomorrow.
, then you can start your new life the day after tomorrow.
While talking, Xiang Shaolong fell asleep on the mat.
He had a strange dream. He dreamed that four maids, including Zhao Ya, Zhao Qian and Chun Ying, were all soliciting him to drink. They wished him victory and defeat Guan Zhongxie. While he was intoxicated, he vaguely knew that he was dreaming.
Pat Wu Tingfang to wake him up.
Xiang Shaolong sat up in astonishment, and Wu Tingfang said: "The Crown Prince sent someone to summon you to the palace. What's the matter? He should give you more time to recharge your batteries."
After Zhao Qian passed away, Wu Tingfang was the only person besides Teng Yi who knew Xiaopan's life experience, and he showed no respect for Xiaopan like others.
Xiang Shaolong stretched out and felt that his mental and physical energy were at their peak. He was secretly surprised that he could still fall asleep despite the battle. However, he had no time to think too much and hurriedly took a shower and changed clothes before arriving at the palace.
Xiaopan received him at Zhai as usual, along with Changping Jun and Li Si.
Xiaopan said: "It will be the beginning of spring in five days. I have decided to go to the Weihe River for spring festivals on that day. There is no problem with Taifu Xiang's black dragon."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Everything is ready. As long as we know the location of the river sacrifice, we can make arrangements in advance."
Xiaopan's eyes lit up, Xuan sighed again and said: "The Queen Mother is still the most difficult to pass. It seems that we can't make it without making some deals with her."
Li Sidao: "The most important thing is to hold on to military power, and let him do the rest one step at a time. It shouldn't be a big deal."
Xiaopan said distressedly: "As soon as I think about conferring a title on that fake eunuch, I will not be convinced. Now that the Queen Mother has arrived at Ganquan Palace, I know nothing about what happened between her and Miao Du."
Lord Changping comforted him and said, "If there is any change in Miao Du, Mao Jiao will secretly communicate the news. Prince, please rest assured."
Xiaopan said angrily: "How can I feel relieved? There are traitors everywhere in the imperial court now, and everyone has their own different intentions. If there was not this black dragon, we would simply call them all into the palace and kill them all, and then
Then find a way to clean up the mess."
Lord Changping saw that he was so angry that he still dared to speak.
Xiang Shaolong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't forget that there will be a wonderful performance tonight. As long as Guan Zhongxie is killed, we can rearrange the leadership of the Imperial Guard."
Xiaopan finally calmed down, and after discussing the details of the Black Dragon matter, everyone resigned one after another.
When Xiang Shaolong and Chang Pingjun left, they both felt that the growing little prince was becoming more and more majestic and had an aura that was not angry. Of course, when he was angry, it made people tremble with fear. Even Xiang Shaolong's "looking at
"Everyone who grew up" feels this way, and the feelings of others are even more conceivable.
As soon as he stepped out of the fasting room, a pretty palace lady intercepted Xiang Shaolong and reported to Master Qin that he wanted to invite him.
Lord Changping was envious and took the first step.
When Xiang Shaolong walked through the palace with Gong E, he secretly thought that since Zhu Ji had moved to Ganquan Palace and Xiao Pan had not yet established a queen, the most influential person in the palace was naturally Qin Qing.
At this time, when they came to an elegant courtyard in the harem, the palace lady knelt down and said: "Master Xiang, please come in."
Xiang Shaolong happily walked in, and saw Qin Qing leaning against the door to treat him. She was still polite. After hugging him for a while, Qin Qing leaned back and looked at him carefully for a while, and then said happily:
"You are in good spirits, but you still went to Zui Feng Tower last night and made it known to the whole city."
Xiang Shaolong already knew that she had good ears and eyes, so he held her waist. When he sat down aside, Qin Qing helped him take off his coat and massaged the muscles on his shoulders.
Xiang Shaolong felt so comfortable that he felt as if he was floating in the clouds. He secretly thought that after having a sexual relationship, his enjoyment was completely different from before. In the past, it was rare to touch her little hands, but now her little hands came to his door automatically.
Qin Qing scolded lightly: "Don't underestimate the enemy. People who are close to Guan Zhongxie say that his swordsmanship has improved to a higher level. People who are weak in swordsmanship will have their hearts and minds stolen as soon as they see him put up a stance.
Don't dare to attack. Although Shaolong has obtained the treasured sword of hundreds of battles and has mastered the unparalleled sword skills, if you are careless, you may miss."
Xiang Shaolong thought that he did underestimate the enemy a little, but it was precisely because he didn't care much that he could be as relaxed and calm as in the sun. He happily accepted the teaching and said: "Thank you, Taifu Qin, for reminding me. Xiang Shaolong won't dare to do anything again."
Take it lightly.”
Seeing that he was obedient and obedient, Qin Qing said happily: "Qin Qing did not choose the wrong lover. After most men got the body and mind of our weak female prostitutes, they shouted and bossed around as if they were different people. Only Xiang Lang would never
They are all gentlemen."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, "Teacher Qin seems to be well-informed about this kind of thing."
Qin Qing said angrily: "What did you think of? People just listen too much."
Xiang Shaolong hurriedly apologized, and Qin Qing then replied with anger and said happily: "Tonight in Xianyang City, from the crown prince to the common people, everyone is looking forward to the outcome of your battle with Guan Zhongxie. Many people who originally bought you to win
People, I know you went to Zui Feng Tower to drink and call prostitutes last night, and everyone turned around to gamble on the success of evil in the management."
Xiang Shaolong appealed for injustice: "It's true that the drinking was taking place. As for the prostitutes, it was just that the crown prince wanted to see the beauty of the drunken people, so he summoned them to the banquet to appear."
Qin Qing smiled and said, "That's not what I think. Moreover, rumors are always exaggerated. There are rumors in the streets that you will have a battle with Zui Feng Si Hua first to see if you still dare to behave inappropriately?"
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help laughing.
Qin Qing added: "The current handicap, Zhong Xie Sheng, the bookmaker, pays three to one, so we know that his market price is much higher than yours."
Xiang Shaolong lost his voice and said: "What?"
Qin Qing laughed so hard that she fell on his back and sighed: "If Qin Qing is a wealthy person, he will definitely place a heavy bet on you so that he can make a lot of money."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Who is presiding over this kind of gambling? Without some capital and credibility, who would believe him?"
Qin Qing said: "Have you ever heard of Pu Hu? He has several big casinos in Tunliu. If gambling hadn't been banned in Xianyang, he would have set up a casino long ago. Now he is secretly presiding over the gambling here."
Xiang Shaolong was surprised: "Didn't he just arrive in Xianyang yesterday?"
Qin Qing said: "He only arrived yesterday, but his men came here thirty years ago to start a gambling game. When it comes to making money, no one is more capable than him."
Xiang Shaolong became curious and asked, "What kind of person is this Pu Hu?"
Qin Qing said: "I don't know much about it. I only know that he is very influential in Dongsan County and has deep friendship with Du Bi and Zhao General Pang Yuan. This time he came to Xianyang and went around giving gifts.
Create momentum and smooth things over for Chang'an Junchengqiao."
Xiang Shaolong pondered for a long time, then laughed dumbly and said: "How about we make a lot of money from him first? When it comes to financial resources, our Wu family is no worse than anyone else. If he doesn't dare to accept the bet, his prestige will be lost immediately. Hum.
Paying three to one, I don’t see how he can afford to bet."
Qin Qing suddenly became emotional, hugged him tightly from behind, and whispered: "Xiang Shaolong, is your confidence innate? It seems that you never thought that you would lose."
Xiang Shaolong held her in front of him and after a round of passionate kiss, he reluctantly left.
After returning home, he told Wu Yingyuan about the gambling game. The latter was very interested and asked Tao Fang to discuss it. Xiang Shaolong returned to the back hall to gain some rest time and joke with his daughters Ai'er.
Soon it was dusk.
Huan Qi, Changping Jun, Jing Jun, Teng Yi, Li Si, Yang Duanhe, Bai Chong and others came to Wu Mansion by chance to attend the meeting with him to create momentum.
Xiang Shaolong took a bath and changed clothes, and put on the warrior uniform sewn for him by Qin Qing himself, with armor inside. He looked majestic and full of energy.
He had people wrap the Hundred Battles Sword and the Flying Dragon Spear in cloth and hand them over to Jing Shan and others for transportation, in order to confuse the ears and eyes of the people in Lu Mansion.
When everything was done, he took his three wives, and even took Tian Zhen and Tian Feng with him as an exception. They were cheered by all their friends and headed out to Zhongfu's house. Wu Yingyuan and Tao Fang were naturally among the group.
.
When he walked into Xianyang Avenue, which was extremely brightly lit and lined with mansions of royal families and princes on both sides, Xiang Shaolong was filled with emotions.
When I came to this era alone, I never imagined that I would be where I am today.
But he also saw through the cruel and ruthless nature behind the prosperity of this era. Even a small plate will bring absolute corruption in the future due to absolute power.
When anything is moving towards a certain ideal, it is the most touching moment.
But after success, in order to continue to maintain power and interests, under those circumstances, there is no place for feelings.
At least he knew that Li Si would become more powerful than anyone else in the future, and the last thing he wanted was to see these painful changes.
At this moment, he made up his mind again. As long as Miao Du and Lu Buwei were eradicated, he would immediately retreat without hesitation. The magnificent Zhongfu Mansion was finally in sight, and diagonally opposite was Miao Du's Neishi Mansion. These two places represented
The two major forces before Xiaopan ascended the throne.
And he will be the fish that can swim freely between these two major forces.
Thinking of this, my ambition aroused, and I almost screamed to the sky before I could express my full lofty sentiments.
