Xiaopan had won a beautiful victory and was in a good mood. He invited a group of close ministers to have lunch together. Except for Huan Qi who left Xianyang early and was unable to attend, Lian Zheng was happily waiting outside the palace for Xiang Shaolong to leave.

Both Teng and Jing, who were causing trouble at the samurai lodge, were invited.

There are also brothers Wang Chi, Wang Ling, and Changping Jun. Of course Li Si is a guest.

The luncheon was held in the inner court of the harem. Without Zhu Ji, Xiaopan could do whatever he wanted. It was extremely enjoyable.

After serving wine and food to the palace maid, she was immediately driven out so that everyone could speak freely.

After Xiaopan and everyone sincerely praised Li Si, it was Xiang Shaolong's turn to tell in detail what happened last night.

When he heard Lu Buwei's trick, Wang Chi was furious and said: "So Lu Gong and Xu Xian were wrong when they accused Lu Buwei of poisoning the late king. Now they dare to repeat the same trick. If not, why don't we take the lead?"

Kill the traitor Lu and all the traitors, please give me your permission."

Xiaopan sighed and said: "If it could be so easy, I would have summoned him to the palace and had him killed. But now the Lu party is powerful, and Du Bi, Pu Hu and others are watching, creating chaos.

If things happen and Du Bi and others collude with outsiders to cause rebellion, it will be difficult for the three counties of Xiandong to survive. The most taboo is Meng Ao. If his military power is not reduced for a day, we cannot act rashly."

Wang Ling, a conservative faction, also said: "The best plan now is to wait for the black dragon to be born, and then use Miao Du to control Lu Buwei. A two-pronged approach is a brilliant strategy."

Halfway through, he saw Li Si and others giving him a fierce wink, and then he woke up, his face immediately turned ashen.

Wang Chi was really shocked and said: "What kind of black dragon is born?"

Xiaopan once had a strict order forbidding anyone to reveal the black dragon. Now that Wang Lingjue had let it slip, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Xiaopan smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, Qing Ling, but it's just this one trip."

Wang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, left the table and knelt down to apologize.

Xiang Shaolong was surprised and happy when he saw Xiaopan's growing power, and he couldn't quite understand what he felt.

After Xiaopan personally explained this to Wang Chi, Wang Chi was overjoyed and praised Xiang Shaolong: "Only Shaolong has such a wonderful and feasible plan, and using Miao Poison to contain Lu Buwei is even more wonderful.

There has been an example just now. No matter how the momentum of Miaodu increases in the future, a castrated dog will always be a castrated dog. It cannot win people's hearts like Lu Buwei. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he will never be able to fly out of the fingers of the veteran."

Wang Chi is the most powerful general outside Meng Ao, so he will not take Miao Du seriously.

Lu Buwei's power is due to his roots in both civil and military circles. If he is shaken before the arrangements are properly made, there will be trouble. In the final analysis, Miao Du is just Zhu Ji's male favorite. Removing him will not bring any consequences. At best, there will be no consequences.

It was just a commotion; especially now that Xiaopan had placed Mao Jiao beside him, she was afraid of what kind of chaos he would cause.

Changping Jun snorted: "On the contrary, Qiu Risheng is the source of trouble. Shaolong, you have free time in the afternoon. Although you promised Miao Du not to kill him, it would be a pleasure to undermine his prestige."

Xiang Shaolong still couldn't figure out the meaning of the warrior's lodge, so he asked casually.

Wang Ling said: "The style of the studio was actually introduced to Xianyang by Lord Yangquan from Chu State. It was mainly used to train swordsmen for employment by ministers. It was a shortcut for warriors to advance to the official career, so it was quite prosperous."

Some ministers sent their children to the tavern for training. When Shaolong faced Qiu Risheng, he should not take it lightly, because the tavern often had to deal with challenges from swordsmen from all over the place. Qiu Risheng was able to secure his position as the master of the tavern.

Real learning.”

Xiaopan smiled and said: "Is he smarter than Guan Zhongxie?"

Everyone thought the same thing and raised their glasses and drank. The conversation turned to the three famous concubines, chatting and laughing. By the time lunch was over, Xiang Shaolong was full of wine, so he was still interested in looking for Qiu Risheng to do something with her. Unable to kill him, he returned to the official office.

When he was drunk, Xiang Shaolong took a nap in the official office. When he woke up, Jing Shan came to report that someone from the Internal Affairs Bureau was looking for him.

When Xiang Shaolong came out of the hall, he saw that it was Miao Si. Teng Yi was listening to him with annoyance, but when he saw Shaolong coming, he hurriedly took the opportunity to escape.

When Miao Si saw Xiang Shaolong, he flattered him and said, "I'm here on my brother's orders. I've made a special trip to invite the general to attend a dinner at the Neishi Mansion."

Xiang Shaolong secretly called his mother, wondering if he would have to face Miao Du and be fucked all night again tonight. He quickly used his brain to find excuses to refuse.

Miao Si leaned closer, pretending to be mysterious and said: "Tonight, my brother has invited Shi Sufang, the most beautiful woman, to have a drink. Naturally, we must not miss out on the general's share."

Xiang Shaolong's mind immediately buzzed, and he became confused. If he said he was not tempted, he would be lying.

Even if they were hostile to rare and stunning beauties like Shi Sufang and the "soft-boned beauty" Lan Gongai, if given the opportunity to contact them, not many men, including Xiang Shaoneng, could refuse them.

Of course, Miao Du would not be so generous. He was willing to create opportunities for Xiang Shaoneng to get close to Shi Sufang. There must be conditions such as Shi Sufang specifying that he should attend before agreeing to the invitation. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel proud.

The only problem is that I just went to Zui Feng Tower for a night of fooling around last night, and tonight I go to see Shi Sufang. What will the wives think of me?

Xiang Shaolong sighed and said: "Brother Ling's kindness, I'm sorry that I have no luck in accepting it. Because I want to be at home with my wife and children tonight, please tell Brother Ling that I, Xiang Shaolong, think he is a good enough friend."

Miao Si's face changed slightly, and he looked very disappointed. It was obvious that even though Ding Shaolong's guess was not correct, it was not far off.

After Miao Si stopped talking and still couldn't get the point, he had no choice but to leave.

Xiang Shaolong suddenly missed his beloved wife and son at home so much that he hurriedly returned home.

Back in Wufu, Ji Yanran came back at about the same time. It turned out that she had gone to the Weishui River to practice the black dragon that would be "dedicated" the day after tomorrow.

Sister Tian gladly waited on him and the two of them to bathe and change clothes. It was so beautiful and wonderful that it is difficult to describe them all.

While enjoying the warm sunshine before dusk with his beloved wife and son in the back garden, Xiang Shaolong had already forgotten about Shi Sufang.

I don’t know whether it’s because he’s getting older, or because he’s experienced too many life, death, and death, but he now loves the joy of family that is so warm that his heart melts.

Chatting with the three lovely wives Ji Yanran, Zhao Zhi and Wu Tingfang, watching Tian Zhen, Tian Feng and Xiang Baoer playing on the grass, the joy of which is beyond anything else. Replacement.

Wu Tingfang probably got the news from the Iron Guards. He knew that there had been a quarrel in the early court, so he asked about it.

How could Xiang Shaolong hide it from them and tell them everything that happened in the morning? He also told them that he had turned down the opportunity to have dinner with Shi Sufang tonight.

Wu Tingfang asked curiously: "Isn't Mr. Xiang afraid of offending Miao Du and that beauty that no man wants to get close to? Just look at the beauty of the lithe-boned girl Lan Gongnai, and you can imagine Shi Sufang's talent."

Xiang Shaolong was sitting in the pavilion with the three girls. The laughter of Sister Tian and Xiang Baoer floated to his ears from the grass outside the pavilion from time to time. His heart was filled with a feeling of happiness, and he said sincerely: "As long as there are three I, Xiang Shaolong, am content with having any one of these good wives by my side, and now that God has shown me mercy, I, a mere mortal, can have three fairies from the heavenly world, so how can I, Xiang Shaolong, dare to ask for anything else?"

The delicate bodies of the three women trembled at the same time, their beautiful eyes twinkling with blazing passion.

Zhao Zhixin said drunkenly: "With a husband like this, what else can I ask for? With Xiang Lang, every day feels like we just fell in love. Zhizhi is so happy that I don't know what to say."

Ji Yanran sighed: "It's a pity that Sister Qing went to Shu County, otherwise this moment would have been more perfect. I really hope that my husband will never have to go on an expedition. It's so uncomfortable to say goodbye."

According to the laws and regulations of the Qin army, soldiers who go on an expedition are not allowed to take their wives and concubines with them, so going to an expedition is the most feared thing for all wives.

Xiang Shaolong sighed deeply as he thought of the cruelty of war.

Wu Tingfang moved over, sat in his arms, put her arms around his neck and said, "Shaolong missed the appointment today. Qiu Risheng will be very eloquent and say that you are afraid of him."

Ji Yanran became emotional, got behind him, lay on his tiger's back, and said softly: "Anyone who has seen our general's sword skills in hundreds of battles will only think that Qiu Risheng didn't have some good luck. Hum me

Ji Yanran has shown mercy to Guoxing, but these people are still ungrateful. If my husband goes to the samurai lodge, Yanran will also go."

Xiang Shaolong said happily: "How about I go to him after the meeting tomorrow to settle the score?"

When Wu Tingfang and Zhao Zhi applauded at the same time, Ji Yanran said "Ouch": "It will be later. The prince wanted someone to come to the palace tomorrow to teach him how to read. Alas, Sister Qing is not here, so he has to be replaced by Yanran. I heard that Sister Qing is very important to the prince.

It’s very strict, but I can’t do it. It’s too hard for me to keep a straight face.”

Only then did Xiang Shaolong remember that she had also been granted the title of Taifu.

Feelings at the same time.

Although Xiaopan didn't show it, in fact, his longing for his late mother, Mrs. Ni, was deeply painful.

Therefore, the person who urgently needs to be replaced is first Zhu Ji, then Qin Qing, and now Ji Yanran.

Otherwise, with his current intelligence, why should someone else teach him how to read?

Wu Tingfang kissed Xiang Shaolong's cheek. His soft red lips, even just a touch of water, already made him feel comfortable and sweet. Just listening to the soft voice of his beautiful wife who was still as charming as a girl

Said: "Mr. Xiang, do you know that Sister Qing has a big business in Bashu? Sister Qing is very capable of making money."

Xiang Shaolong has always been vague about Qin Qing's origins. He only knew that she was from the royal family, so he was surprised and asked more questions.

Ji Yanran knew this matter best and replied: "Qing sister was originally from a large family in Bajun. Her ancestors obtained the caves of cinnabar, which can be used for medicine and dye. Therefore, they accumulated accumulated experience for several generations. By the time of Qing sister, the Qin clan had become

The wealthy Qin people from Bajun reconciled with him, so he proposed marriage to Sister Qing as a royal dignitary. However, she did not expect that her husband would lead troops on an expedition and die in a different place just after the wedding. In order to avoid the entanglement of other powerful people, Sister Qing returned to Bashu to take charge of business.

He did a good job, and when the prince returned to Qin from Zhao, he returned to Xianyang at the suggestion of Mrs. Huayang and became the prince's tutor. He even met you, an amorous husband, and fell in love again."

Only then did Xiang Shaolong understand why Qin Qing's status was so high, not only because of the favor of Mrs. Huayang and Xiaopan, but also because she had a strong family backing in Bashu.

As Li Si said, only a gentle policy can be adopted for special areas like Bashu where local power is huge.

At the same time, I also understood why she had such a close relationship with Mrs. Huayang, a beautiful woman from the Chu Kingdom. This was because Bashu was close to Chu, and a wealthy family like the Qin Clan was naturally inextricably linked to the Chu Dynasty.

relation.

If you marry Qin Qing, you will not only get such a charming and charming person, but also get her huge wealth, which will make everyone jealous. That's why Qin Qing does not dare to openly fall in love with her.

Even if Qin Qingzhi marries Xianyang and becomes a member of the royal family, it is still a marriage transaction full of political flavor.

When his mind was flying, Wu Guang came to report, and Guoxing came to him.

Xiang Shaolong sighed, walked out of the pavilion, picked up Xiang Baoer and kissed his little face, then handed him to Tian Zhen and went to the hall to see Guoxing.

When Guo Xing, who was drinking tea, saw him coming, he knelt down and kowtowed three times. Xiang Shaolong was so frightened that he quickly helped him up, knowing clearly in his heart: "Mr. Guo has broken Xiang."

After the two sat down, Guoxing smiled bitterly and said, "I came here with bad intentions on my humble duty."

Xiang Shaolong knew that he intended to surrender, but he had learned not to trust people easily. He smiled and said, "Did the deputy commander come to bring bad luck to me, Xiang Shaolong, under the orders of Master Qiu?"

Guoxing and Qiu Risheng were obviously struggling, and snorted coldly: "Why should he come to bring trouble to you? Your master is late for the meeting today. Although he pretends to be dissatisfied on the surface, everyone can actually see that he is relieved and takes advantage of the opportunity."

He sneaked away to the countryside to hunt with Pu Hu. We all know that he was afraid that Lord Xiang would come looking for him. After seeing Lord Xiang’s sword skills in a hundred battles, who would have the guts to stroke Lord Xiang’s tiger beard? Xiang Shaolong said in surprise:

"Then why does he want you to see me again?"

Guoxing said with shame: "To be honest, we are all secretly working for the second prince, and the expenses of the hotel are also secretly supported by Pu Hu. Otherwise, without Yangquan Jun, it would have closed down long ago. But on the surface, it is
