Even though she was held hostage by numerous wolf-like and tiger-like iron guards, this delicate and soft-boned girl was still fearless. She looked at Xiang Shaolong with a bit of disdain and sneered: "It turns out that Master Xiang can't wear anything under his clothes."
The armor is afraid of the sword, no wonder he can be so brave and defeat the powerful enemy without regard for his own safety."
I don't know why, Xiang Shaolong had a very inappropriate feeling, but for a while he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Since Jing Shan and Wu Guang were respectively holding her soft arms and locking her shoulder blades with their other hands, it would have been difficult for her to do anything.
Teng Yi obviously had the same abnormal feeling. This tough man was not like Jing Jun and other iron guards. His eyes were only busy looking at her firm breasts that were particularly exposed because her arms were twisted back. He shouted coldly: "Kneel down."
"
Jing Shan and Wu Guang pressed hard, and the soft-boned beauty could stand it and knelt down. Even the beautiful legs that could only move had lost their function and threat.
Voices sounded at the door, and Ji Yanran and others entered the hall.
At this moment, Xiang Shaolong had a flash of inspiration and thought of the problem.
She shouldn't be captured so easily.
With the skills she showed earlier at Lu Buwei's birthday banquet, it would be difficult for everyone to capture her alive. Moreover, she had already escaped to the window just now, how could she be so easily obtained by the iron guards? Of course there were
Fraud.
The reason was that when she saw that he was not dead and heard that she had ordered people not to kill her, she was deliberately captured so that he could be assassinated again.
At this time, everyone naturally turned away and looked towards the gate.
Xiang Shaolong also pretended to be distracted.
Sure enough, the soft-boned woman suddenly opened her mouth, and a ray of light and shadow immediately shot out and rushed towards Xiang Shaolong's face.
Teng Yi and others woke up in surprise, and were shocked at the same time.
Xiang Shaolong calmly dodged and avoided the hidden weapon. The skeletal girl's body twisted a few times strangely, and like a slippery fish, she slipped under the iron claws of Jing Shan and Wu Guang.
He came out and rolled like a loach from between the two people to outside the circle of people. His swift and slippery movements were astonishing.
While everyone was shouting and yelling, the soft-boned woman held her knees in her hands, bent them into a ball, and rolled to the window sill on one side of the hall like a big ball in the blink of an eye. Before anyone could catch her, she bounced up and went through the window.
.
The iron guards lost face and chased him away.
Xiang Shaolong and others also looked at each other in shock, none of them expected that this soft-boned girl was so powerful. Then Lord Changping, Lord Changwen, Huan Qi and others heard the news and arrived, and there was a commotion inside and outside the palace.
When Xiang Shaolong woke up, he felt full of energy and the fatigue from last night was gone.
When he sat up, Ji Yanran, who had always been a sleepyhead, woke him up, lazily threw herself into his arms, and said coquettishly: "It's not dawn yet? Can you sleep with me for a little longer?"
Xiang Shaolong hugged her tightly, and after some tender love, he said softly: "Starting from today, I will get up before the rooster crows and sunrise every day to practice Bai Zhan Sword Technique and Boxing Kung Fu. I just watched last night."
That soft-bone female assassin knows that there are countless capable people in the world, and if you are not careful, you will suffer a big loss."
Ji Yanran thought of the cow-hair needle spit out by the female assailant last night, and said with lingering fear: "It's really shocking. You can hide such a needle in your mouth and still speak calmly, so that people don't have to be wary at all.
"
Xiang Shaolong spanked her pink butt hard and said with a smile: "What a sweet wife, please sleep for a while longer."
Ji Yanran sat up with a look on her face and complained: "I gave you such a beating, and all sleep was gone."
Xiang Shaolong's eyes naturally fell on her deep cleavage exposed by the open skirt of her clothes. He felt so moved that he almost pushed this seductive beauty back to the bed. He was busy and secretly vigilant and managed to leave her.
He couldn't help but remember Li Mu's warning. If he wasn't careful, he would give in to the desires of men and women and live up to the expectations of this most famous general in the Zhao Kingdom.
Ji Yanran also jumped down from the bed and said happily: "Can you let the little girl serve General Xiang to wash and change clothes?"
When dawn broke out in the sky, Xiang Shaolong had already rushed into the palace. Xiaopan was having breakfast, and when he saw him arriving, he invited him to share the meal. After hearing what he said about what happened last night, Long Yan said angrily: "Lu Buwei, this dog
Thief, I will teach him to die without a burial place in the future. I know clearly that you, master, are the person I respect the most, but you still dare to act so boldly."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "This is not the first time that the prince knows that his scheming and anger are just in vain. Fortunately, Xiaotian reported the news this time, but the female assassin is indeed a first-rate master."
Xiaopan was dumbfounded for a while, then suddenly laughed and said: "If these words had come from someone else, I would be even more angry. But if the master said it, I... Hey, I just feel warm and warm in my heart. It's very useful. Ha.
I really have nothing to say. But I still don’t understand why the master handed those people over to Guan Zhongxie?”
Of course Xiang Shaolong would not tell him that he did not do unnecessary things because he knew that he could not bring down Lu Buwei in recent years. He said calmly: "If something like this happened in the city, there should be someone responsible. We are not suffering from the inability to get an important position.
For Xiao Wu and Xiao Tian?"
Xiao Panlong's face was shocked, his eyes beamed with joy, and he exclaimed: "Master's move is really powerful, especially last night when Guan Zhongxie was attacked by master's sword... Hey... it was not the sword, but the master's sword that he bowed to me, he has gained a reputation
Big fall, this is called...what should I call it?"
Xiang Shaolong knew that he was in an excited mood, so he had a hard time expressing himself when he spoke, so he said, "This should be called taking advantage of his illness to kill him."
Xiao Pan patted Chang Fan and said, "We took advantage of his illness to kill him. As long as even the city defense guards fall into our hands, it will be difficult for Lu Buwei and Miao Du to grow heads and six arms."
At this time, the chamberlain came to report that it was time for the morning court.
The two looked at each other, smiled, and went to court.
The atmosphere in the main hall was solemn and solemn. The ups and downs in Xianyang City last night were heard to some extent by everyone, and everyone knew that this matter would be difficult to let go.
After Xiang Shaolong was named a general, his status was very different. He was ranked fifth in the military behind Wang Ling, Wang Chi, Meng Ao and Du Bi.
Now among the top generals of the Qin State, apart from these five, the only ones are Wang Jian and An Guxi.
Among the three people perched high on the rising dragon steps, Xiaopan was in the best spirits. Zhu Ji and Lu Buwei, who were sitting on the left and right sides, both looked tired, showing that they had not slept well last night.
After the court ceremony, Xiaopan asked Xiang Shaolong about what happened last night.
After Xiang Shaolong outlined the whole incident in an orderly manner, he said to Guan Zhongxie: "Please, Mr. Guan, submit the report on the interrogation of the murderers."
Standing under Huan Qi, Guan Zhongxie took half a step forward and bowed to report: "All these murderers were poisoned to death. Afterwards, it was found that each of them had poison nine hidden in their mouths. After they were bitten, the poison flowed into their stomachs. By the time we realized it, they were dead."
It’s too late to save him.”
These words immediately caused a stir.
Of course Xiang Shaolong would not believe it. This was clearly Lu Buwei's method of killing people and silencing them.
But without him having to say anything, Miao Du, who was standing diagonally opposite, said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it is clear that a large number of thugs have sneaked into the capital to assassinate the ministers. It is clearly premeditated and done carefully, so we must not ignore it. Not only must we pursue
Find out the culprit behind this, and more importantly, thoroughly investigate whether there were any loopholes in the city's defense, otherwise how could so many people sneak into the city and we are still unaware of it?"
When everyone nodded in agreement, Xiang Shaolong and Xiaopan felt bad at the same time.
Just by looking at Miao Du's attitude of using excuses as a means of questioning the guilty, one can tell that he and Zhu Ji have a tacit understanding and want to seize the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard.
Lu Buwei, Guan Zhongxie and Meng Ao also saw through his mind, and their expressions changed at the same time.
Changping Jun did not think so far for a moment, and asked Guan Zhongxiedao: "Does Mr. Guan have no clue about the origin of this group of people?"
Guan Zhongxie said calmly: "I have asked Father Zhong for instructions. Because the internal situation is extremely complicated, Father Zhong has instructed me to wait until the investigation is clear before reporting to the Crown Prince."
Du Bi snorted coldly and said: "Master Guan has been busy all night, so he has to say that he has no comment? In fact, just from the weapons they used, or the clothes and equipment, it should be enough to deduce their identities and origins, and tell the story behind them
Find the culprit who ordered it."
Lu Buwei laughed and said: "General Du said it well. The weapons used by these assassins all come from the weapons foundry in Tunliu Puhu. The veteran has seen too much and it makes no sense. He is afraid that someone will frame the blame, so he is possessed by evil spirits again.
We will conduct an investigation. If General Du thinks this is a solid evidence, he can ask the Crown Prince to order Pu Hu to be sentenced to death immediately."
Du Bi's expression suddenly changed and he said angrily: "This is too much."
Turning to Xiaopan and about to speak, Xiaopan said calmly: "General Du, please don't get angry about this. I know that someone is deliberately setting the blame on Mr. Pu."
Du Bi's expression softened slightly, he just stared at Lu Buwei for a few times and said nothing.
Of course, Xiaopan didn't have any favorable impression of Du Bi or Pu Hu, but under the current situation, it was impossible to deal with Du Bi and Pu Hu's party until Heilong was born and established a firm position.
Otherwise, if chaos breaks out, Lu Buwei will take advantage of the chaos to expand his power, or even take advantage of the chaos to seize power. In that case, the gains will outweigh the losses.
The main base of this military group with Cheng Qiao as the center and Du Bi and Pu Hu as representatives is Dongsan County, where the people's hearts are unstable. If they continue to collude with the Zhao people, it will not be easy to deal with an uprising.
Lu Buwei rushed to say: "Today, there are thieves in Zhao who sneaked into the city to cause trouble. Of course, they had to be protected by someone to get past the city gates. So what needs to be investigated now is not who should be responsible, but who is.
The mastermind behind this is just like the rebels of Lord Gaoling who were able to sneak in from afar to plot rebellion during the field hunting, and there must be someone among them to cover and support them along the way. General Xiang was ordered to investigate, but I don’t know what the results were."
These consecutive beatings were really powerful, but suddenly the target of the attack was changed to Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but secretly regret that he didn't catch the soft-boned beauty last night, otherwise he could see how Lu Buwei responded now. Just as he was about to speak, Xiaopan said coldly: "General Xiang was ordered by me to conduct an investigation. How could he know that he was on the way?"
I was chased and lost my way. We are investigating the matter and there should be results soon."
Xiaopan took the matter so seriously that Lu Buwei had no choice but to laugh and said nothing more.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and tense.
If anyone is still struggling with who should bear the responsibility, then Ruo Mingming will have a hard time with Lu Buwei.
Although Xiang Shaolong and Lu Buwei have a clear barrier, they still don't want to get such land.
Zhu Ji, who had been silent all this time, said softly: "Since Father Zhong thinks there is no need to investigate the responsibility, the Ai family will naturally respect Father Zhong's opinion. But strengthening the city defense is a top priority, and the task is heavy. I am afraid that Guan Qing alone cannot handle it. Du Wei
It is not appropriate for the position of deputy commander to remain vacant any longer. Miao Qing is an internal historian of the family and is most familiar with various issues related to city defense. I wonder if there is a suitable candidate in mind?"
Xiao Pan, Xiang Shaolong, Chang Pingjun and Lu Buwei all shouted at the same time. Zhu Ji called Miao Du the candidate, didn't he clearly want him to appoint private individuals so as to reduce the power of evildoers?
Zhu Ji had already spoken out, and even Xiaopan and Lu Buwei did not dare to object.
Sure enough, Miao Du beat the snake with the stick and said happily: "Han Jie, a guest of Weichen, was involved in the defense affairs of Yandu before coming to our country. He is a rare talent. When it comes to candidates for the deputy commander of the capital guard, no one is more suitable than him.
"
Zhu Ji said happily: "The proposal of the Miao Qing family is very much in line with the wishes of the Ai family. If all the ministers have no objections, this is the decision."
Lu Buwei said in a deep voice: "Currently, Duqi has three deputy commanders. It is also appropriate for Duwei to add one deputy commander so that he can work with Han Jie to help Zhongxie. The veteran also has a suitable candidate in mind, that is, Xu Shang from Shangcai. He can be chosen
With the auxiliary wings, the defense of the capital will be foolproof."
Xiang Shaolong, Xiaopan, Li Si, Changping Jun and others all looked at each other in shock. No one could have expected that things would develop to this point.
Fortunately, only members of the royal family were appointed to important positions in the Imperial Guard. Otherwise, Miao Du and Lu Buwei might have had a piece of the pie, which would have been even more of a headache.
Wang Wan, Cai Ze and Meng Ao immediately agreed.
Since Miao Du recommended Han Jie, it was difficult to compete with Lu Buwei for this important position.
The trouble for Xiang Shaolong and others is that they cannot take the initiative to recommend Meng Wu or Meng Tian, otherwise it will arouse Lu Buwei's suspicion.
In the end, Xu Shang was still elected.
Xiang Shaolong could only lament his misfortune, but it was already a waste of rice.
This trip not only failed to bring down the evil spirits in Guan, but also increased the power of Lu Buwei and Miao Du. It was really a case of stealing a chicken but losing a lot of rice.
With the title of deputy commander, and with the support of Miao Du and Lu Buwei respectively, both Han Jie and Xu Shang have a great chance of being promoted to important positions in the military. At that time, there will be endless troubles.
After the morning court, Xiang Shaolong was in a bad mood and left the palace in a hurry. When he passed by Qin Mansion, his heart moved and he went to find Qin Qing.
This pretty lady is arranging flowers in the garden. As winter turns to spring, the wind is sunny and the weather is getting warmer. Qin Qing is working among the vibrant flower trees. Her plain skirt sets off her flowery face, which has a different look of her own.
Something fascinating.
Qin Qing was overjoyed to see that Xiang Shaolong still found time to visit her despite his busy schedule. She put down her work and walked hand in hand with him in the garden.
Xiang Shaolong held her Rouyi lovingly and sighed: "I am here this time to thank Taifu Qin for saving my life."
Qin Qing smiled and said: "You are a person who always refuses to say anything surprising. When has anyone ever saved your life?"
Xiang Shaolong told the story about the armor she had sewn last night to block the assassination. Hearing Qin Qinghua's face turn pale and say: "How can there be such a powerful female assassin in the world? Lian Jingshan is such a skilled person."
I can't even hold her back, oh Shaolong, I really want to make people worry to death."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Don't worry, this female assassin was able to escape because she had miraculous skills, but the more important reason is that all men are lustful and are used to looking down on women, so they gave her a chance to take advantage of her."
Opportunity. If it were a male assailant, Jing Shan and the others would have used their old fists to beat him like a swollen pig's head and paralyze him. Then she would stab him repeatedly in his turn."
Qin Qing heard what he said was interesting. She laughed so hard that she fell on his shoulder and sighed for a long time: "With you by my side, Qin Qing will always laugh non-stop. Alas, you are killing other people's souls."
It’s all checked.”
This was the first time that Xiang Shaolong heard Qin Qing's heartfelt words without regard for reserve. He felt warm in his heart. He hugged her and said happily: "Master Qin, please don't forget what you promised me."
Qin Qing raised her pretty face and said curiously: "I promised you...oh...I won't talk to you anymore. Let me go, how can I be seen by others?"
Xiang Shaolong's mood improved, and he looked at her touching gesture of refusing to welcome him, and said with a smile: "Teacher Qin finally remembered his promise to let me do whatever I want after the battle between me and Lao Guan. Hey, what's the weather today?"
So good, not as good as us..."
Qin Qing was greatly embarrassed. She struggled hard and escaped from his clutches. She stamped her feet and shouted, "You are not allowed to say any more, or someone will ask someone to drive you out of the door."
Xiang Shaolong laughed heartily and couldn't contain his joy. He opened his arms and said, "My little darling, come to my arms quickly."
Qin Qing's ears were burning red, she was happy and angry at the same time, but of course she couldn't do anything to him. She turned her beautiful eyes and said softly: "Qin Qing will only accompany you after the Spring Festival, okay? Hey, aren't you going to go deer hunting with Xiao Jun today?
Do you want to propose marriage? Why are you just hanging around here?"
Only then did Xiang Shaolong remember that Jing Jun was waiting at the official office. He had no choice but to pull her into his arms, rub her against her for a while, and then leave.
Back at the official office, Jing Jun was restless as he waited. Lord Chang Ping and Huan Qi both arrived. Xiang Shaolong wanted to sit down and drink a cup of hot tea, but Jing Jun stopped him, so the whole group headed towards Lu Mansion.
There was a bustle of people coming and going, and it was lively and peaceful.
At this time, Xiang Shaolong was already a well-known figure in the streets of Xianyang City. The people of Qin had always admired heroes. Knowing that he had defeated Guan Zhongxie last night, everyone was happy to give him advice when they saw him. When he politely approached a group of people chasing him to see him,
When the girls showed their smiles, they were so fascinated that they almost fainted.
Although Changping Jun was the left prime minister, he was still far less popular than him. He was very envious of this: "Shaolong's battle last night shocked Xianyang, and we are also proud of Yourong. After returning home last night, Ying Ying said to
You praise me endlessly, I'm really afraid that she will change her mind and pester you again, and won't marry Duan He anymore."
Xiang Shaolong felt relieved and felt that he had finally done a great favor to his good friend. He casually asked Huan Qi on the other side: "When will Xiaoqi return to the camp?"
Huan Qi respectfully replied: "The prince is waiting for me to go back after the Spring Festival. Alas, my reinforcements are not fully equipped and have insufficient pay and money. Many things have become powerless. After the meeting this morning, Lu Buwei came to me to lecture me, hoping to
Meng Wu and Meng Tian have arranged to serve as deputy generals in our army, but how can I agree?"
Xiang Shaolong and others were all refreshed.
Changping Jun smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Just agree to him."
Huan Qi looked at Lord Changping in astonishment.
Xiang Shaolong whispered: "The Prime Minister Zuo is right, Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu are actually our people."
Huan Qi said happily: "Then my reinforcements will be saved."
Teng Yi from behind laughed and said, "Why don't you go and accept the promise?"
When Huan Qi was about to leave the team, he was grabbed by Changping Jun and told Xiao: "Xiao Qi, if you can pretend to surrender to Lu Buwei, the prince will be even happier."
Huan Qi is a person who is not good at making lies, and his face turned pale when he heard this.
Xiang Shaolong said: "Xiao Qi just needs to follow his usual style of doing things. If he goes too far, he will arouse the suspicion of Thief Lu. Do you understand?"
Huan Qi nodded and accepted the instruction, and went happily.
When he turned around the corner of the street and saw the Lu Mansion, Jing Jun became timid and hid behind the crowd.
As everyone laughed, Xiang Shaolong took the lead and entered the mansion.
Being able to create a happy future for your brothers is truly the greatest pleasure in life.
