Back in Wu Mansion, Xiang Shaolong still thought of this strange woman Shi Sufang from time to time.
Teng Yi, Jing Jun, Wu Guo, and Zhao Da were discussing with Ji Yanran, and everyone looked solemn.
Seeing that her husband was so obedient and willing to come back after the first update, Ji Yanran showed a smile and said: "We are studying how to find the assassination team sent to assassinate the political prince. It would be too dangerous if they are allowed to act."
Teng Yi frowned and said: "The problem is that we can't make this matter public, we can only do it secretly. The less people know about it, the better, otherwise Guoxing's identity will be exposed."
Jing Jun snorted coldly: "I don't trust Guoxing."
Ji Yanran pursed her lips and smiled: "We will not believe Guoxing easily, but we should always give him a chance to confirm what he said."
Xiang Shaolong sat down next to Jing Jun and said with a smile: "This is called abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, changing the evil and returning to the right, the prodigal son turning back. Xiaojun must remember that forgiveness requires greater courage and love than hatred."
Everyone was stunned after hearing such words and remarks.
Ji Yanran said happily: "My husband is in a good mood tonight. Have you won Shi Sufang's favor again?"
Xiang Shaolong thought of Shi Sufang. He sighed and said: "Shi Sufang can only be described as a strange woman. I think she has no interest in the relationship between men and women. She loves Zhuang Zhou and disdains her own singing skills. She is interested in things.
A profound and unique view. It makes Miao Du like a mouse pulling a tortoise, with nowhere to start, and it is extremely boring. But the younger brother keeps away from it. The report is completed, are you satisfied with the talented woman?"
When Ji Yanran heard him talk about "the rat pulls the turtle", Ji Yanran laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe. Jing Jun and others all smiled, but they were already accustomed to Ding Shaolong's endless new words and phrases.
Wu Guo sighed: "Who can speak more vividly with Master Xiang? Fortunately, I have been with Master Xiang for a long time and have gained some wisdom, so I succeeded in chasing little Weiwei and lived up to Master Jing's expectations."
Only then did Xiang Shaolong learn that Wu Guo was pursuing Zhou Wei and that Jing Jun was behind him. He turned to Zhao Da Dao and asked, "Are you and your brothers enjoying your time in Xianyang?"
Zhao Da showed gratitude and nodded: "We have never experienced such a glorious life. As long as we show Mr. Xiang's sign, even the people in Zhongfu's house will give us face, and Mrs. Fang asked us to choose Mei Ji."
, get married and start a family.
Alas, Madam left us too early." Speaking of Zhao Ya, her eyes turned red.
Teng Yi was afraid of arousing Xiang Shaolong's sadness, so he changed the topic and said: "We decided to transfer a group of people back to Xianyang to be responsible for finding these extremely dangerous dead soldiers. We also notified Chang Wenjun and asked him to
Immediately report the matter to the prince. The day after tomorrow is the Spring Festival. I am afraid that the enemy will attack during the Spring Festival while the prince is leaving the palace. According to the usual practice, the route to the Weishui River has been set and cannot be changed. If the assassin wants to join the road, he will be welcomed.
It is extremely difficult to be discovered among the public."
Xiang Shaolong suddenly trembled. He remembered that he had protected political figures many times in the 21st century. He could be said to be an expert in anti-terrorism operations. Couldn't he put his knowledge to use in this matter? Everyone saw the look on his face.
Weird, I thought he had thought of something amazing and looked at him in astonishment.
Xiang Shaolong waved his hands unconsciously and said excitedly: "I am fully responsible for the security measures for this Spring Festival. After tomorrow morning, Xiaojun will accompany me to inspect the route to the Spring Festival. Let us and these groups
Assassin elites from various countries, each using their own methods, engage in a head-on battle to see who has higher magical powers."
Seeing everyone staring blankly at him, Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "The most vicious part of Pu Hu's move is that if something happens to the Crown Prince when he goes to the Spring Festival, Lord Chang Wen and I will be beheaded. Killing two birds with one stone will kill you."
I think Pu Hu is no less powerful than Lu Buwei, but he just lacked some luck, just like in the decisive battle between me and Guan Zhongxie, I bet on the wrong Cheng Qiao." He stood up and stretched and said, "Today
They were still out of luck this time because they met me, Xiang Shaolong."
The next morning, Xiang Shaolong got up as usual before the rooster crows to practice his sword, and then went to the palace. Since it was a little early, he had some time to go see Xiaopan.
Xiaopan was probably the most diligent monarch in the history of the Qin Dynasty. While eating breakfast, he listened to Li Si's report to deal with the court discussion later.
Seeing Xiang Shaolong coming, Xiaopan hurriedly dispensed with the etiquette, sat him down, and said solemnly: "Pu Hu and Du Bi are so brave, they dare to plot evil against me. If Guoxing can make up for their mistakes, the general will see how they should be rewarded."
he"
Xiang Shaolong and Li Si looked at each other and said with a smile: "We should advise the prince to call me Taifu and call him general, as if he wants to lead troops to fight at any time."
In Qin, Xiang Shaolong is probably the only one who can talk to Xiaopan like this.
Xiaopan laughed and said, "As long as I see Taifu, I will be filled with sorrow." He turned to Li Si and said, "Li Qing, can you show Taifu the new coins we got from Black Dragon?"
Li Si happily sent the new coins to Xiang Shaolong's case.
Xiang Shaolong picked it up and took a look. The money was round in shape, with a round hole in the middle, and the text was half a tael. The abstract dragon pattern was faintly visible, but it was quite different from the money in his mind.
Li Si returned to the table and sighed: "Ji Cainü is indeed well-deserved. Her proposal to change the dynasty and system is not only practical, but also takes into account the entire political and economic reform. It also sets the date for implementation and the priorities. It is all just right and never rushed.
People, please tell the talented woman that Li Si is so convinced that she is so impressed."
Xiao Pan obviously loved Li Si very much and said with a smile: "Li Qing is too humble. Li Qing also came up with many plans for the entire proposal, and Tutor Yu Ji also made great contributions."
Li Si hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.
Xiao Pan pondered for a while and then said to Ding Shaolong: "This time the assassin comes to Xianyang, how can the Grand Master deal with it?"
Xiang Shaolong said happily: "Don't worry, Prince, the only opportunity for the thieves is to take advantage of the Prince's sacrifice to the river god tomorrow, and use intentionality to win over unintentional. But now that we know about this, the whole situation will be reversed. WeChat Meeting
Work closely with Lord Chang Wen to crush the enemy's conspiracy, ensure that none of the prince's hair is harmed, and also make those who are involved in this matter in the six countries realize our methods."
Xiaopan respected him like a god and said happily: "With Taifu in charge of this matter, I have nothing to worry about."
Xiang Shaolong said: "But the prince must promise that he will be handled by the ministers with full authority tomorrow, otherwise the clever plan will not work."
Xiaopan laughed and said: "That young man will be the Taifu's subordinate for a day tomorrow, and he will do whatever the Taifu orders him to do."
Li Si felt the unquestionable trust and sincerity between the two, and smiled knowingly.
The early dynasty started calmly, but when Lu Buwei proposed to split Yantieguan into two parts, a heated debate immediately arose.
Xiang Shaolong listened for a long time before he finally understood the general idea.
It turns out that before Xiao Gong, almost all industry and commerce in the Qin State were monopolized by the government. However, in order to cope with this situation in social production, the Qin Dynasty established government agencies to manage various industries and commerce in different categories. The most important one was the Yantie Official, which was related to
Issues related to people's livelihood and military matters.
However, with the expansion of the Qin State, some advanced iron smelting centers in the east fell into the hands of the Qin people one by one. The affairs of the salt and iron officials became increasingly heavy, and there were even cases of smuggling salt and iron for huge profits. Salt and iron were basically
The two are unrelated things, so Lu Buwei had this idea.
The problem is that Lu Buwei's proposal was mainly because he wanted to use his people to be responsible for the two lifebloods of Qin's economy and military. Therefore, Lord Changping, Li Si and others delayed it, so that they could wait until the black dragon was born, and then take advantage of the opportunity to take over these two positions in one fell swoop.
Include it.
It was easier to delay than to object. In the end, there was still no conclusion. After Xiaopan ordered further research, the morning session ended.
Xiang Shaolong left the palace and returned to his office. Teng Yi and Jing Jun had already prepared themselves and were waiting for him to scout out Xiaopan's route for his patrol tomorrow morning.
Xiang Shaolong asked: "How is the situation?"
Teng Yi said: "Guoxing just came to report, and Wu Guo accompanied him to meet other generals and leaders. According to him, he still has no clue about the assassin."
Jing Jun said: "I discussed it with Lord Chang Wen, and he said he could find any excuse. For example, a servant stole something from the palace and came out. He sealed the city and searched every house. After Shang Yang's Lian Si Fa, he knew
Anyone who fails to report will be guilty of the same crime. It should be easy to find the people in question, but if these people are hiding in Du Bi's general's palace or some ministers' palace, it will be difficult."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Don't act rashly. We have to pretend that we don't know anything about this matter, and we have to teach Guoxing not to conduct reconnaissance, so as not to alert the enemy."
Teng Yi smiled and said: "The third brother seems to be very sure about the safety of the crown prince tomorrow?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled slightly, called for Zhao Da, and ordered him to follow his instructions and inform Lord Chang Wen and Queen Guoxing. The envoys, Teng Yi and Jing Jun were on their way.
After leaving Xianyang City, we followed the official road to the upper reaches of the Wei River. We saw grassland hills stretching endlessly, connecting to the sky. I couldn't help but feel refreshed, and I glanced around, and for a moment I almost forgot the purpose of my trip.
The turquoise heart lake and the lush green grass are radiant, beautiful and charming.
From time to time, we can see shepherds driving herds of cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland, which makes the land full of life and excitement.
Teng Yi pointed to a small stone hill covered with trees and said: "If you hide on it and use a powerful crossbow secretly, you can hit any target passing by the official road."
Only then did Xiang Shaolong wake up from the charming scenery and ordered Jing Jun to write down strategic locations on the silk scroll that could be used by assassins.
Although it was afternoon, when we came to the section of the road through the dense forest, the morning fog had not cleared away. There was plenty of moisture in the air, and the vision was a bit blurry. Teng Yi changed his mind and said: "Look at the weather, there will be heavy fog tomorrow, which is good for us."
Very disadvantageous.”
Xiang Shaolong said calmly: "I don't think it's completely unfavorable. At least we know that the enemy should take advantage of the foggiest moment on the way out and not choose to return. Secondly, the fog is more conducive to the birth of the black dragon."
Jing Jun said with admiration: "Third brother seems to be very confident."
Xiang Shaolong said happily: "My two good brothers, have you heard the story about accidentally hitting the passenger car?"
Teng Jing said in unison in shock: "Hit the passenger car by mistake?"
Only then did Xiang Shaolong realize that he was born in Xiaopan and became the first empress of Qin. After Zhang Liang hit the wrong car with his strongman, he hurriedly repaired: "That is a story that will happen tomorrow. As long as the prince hides,
In another vehicle, we can safely lure the enemy out and annihilate them."
Teng and Jing both exclaimed at the same time. They were no longer in the mood to examine the terrain along the way, and after a while, they went to Weishui to meet up with Ji Yanran who was in charge of practicing the black dragon there, and returned to the city together.
Back to Wufu, it was dusk.
Stepping through the door, Tao Fang informed him that Wu Fu had just arrived and was waiting for him in the east hall.
Ji Yanran said half-seriously: "The spies are here, but don't follow him to Zui Feng Tower. Don't forget that you have been with us for two nights. If you don't go to bed early, let's see if you still have the energy to deal with the assassins."
Xiang Shaolong muttered: "Even if I have enough energy, I will not waste it on those women. I, Xiang Shaolong, have already owned the whole world. Apart from my darling wives, there is nothing that can tempt me."
Ji Yanran smiled sweetly and let him go.
When he arrived at the east chamber, he saw Wu Fu restless as he waited. He felt funny in his heart, so he went up to him and said, "Master Wu really shouldn't be here. Maybe he will make people like Miao Du and Lu Buwei suspicious?"
Wu Fu had already prepared his speech. He said humbly, "Don't worry, Sir Xiang. I will be very cautious."
After the two sat down, Wu Fu whispered: "How did the prince react when he found out what happened?"
Xiang Shaolong was amused in his heart and said calmly: "Of course Long Xin is furious, but for the sake of the Queen Mother, I can only guard against him secretly, and wait until evidence is found before settling the score with Miao Du. Then we will see how the Queen Mother protects him."
After a pause, he said: "The prince appreciates the landlord's loyalty very much and is considering how to reward you."
Wu Fu said with great joy: "As long as I can do things for the prince and Lord Xiang, I will be satisfied and will never care about rewards."
Xiang Shaolong said deliberately: "It is better to find a position so that the owner of the building can experience the addiction of being an official, but your Zui Feng Building must be left to others to take care of, because no one who is an official can run a brothel as a side business."
It doesn’t sound good if you come out, and besides, the poster has already made enough money.”
Wu Fuxi was heartbroken and said with a cheerful smile: "That's just a small matter. Mr. Pu has always wanted to buy my Zuifeng Building. If the sale succeeds, I will give half of the money from the sale to you. I know that Master Xiang will not take these things."
Although money is only in my eyes, it represents a little bit of my heart."
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that this gift was too heavy.
Suddenly something clicked in my heart. I thought that Wu Fu actually wanted to be successful in everything, so no matter where he gained power, he could also benefit.
With this understanding, I feel that this "little man" is not completely worthless.
Especially when the Black Dragon is born tomorrow, it will definitely shock the government and the public. The reputation of small caps has soared. People like Wu Fu who watch the wind and steer the ship should know which side to lean on.
Wu Fu said flatteringly: "If Mr. Xiang is interested in the girl in the villain's building, just say a word and the villain can send her to serve you. Even if she is beautiful, I can do something about it."
Xiang Shaolong was surprised: "Aren't you afraid of Lu Buwei?"
Wu Fu sighed and said, "I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. Meimei is threatening death now and refuses to be Lu Buwei's concubine. Of course, if I had Meimei's beauty, I wouldn't marry into Father Zhong's house."
Xiang Shaolong was greatly surprised. It turned out that Shan Meimei was only afraid of Lu Buwei's power, rather than willing to follow him. His hatred immediately disappeared, and he felt pity and asked: "How will Lu Buwei handle this matter?"
Wu Fu said with a smile: "What can he do? Isn't he just threatening me? Poor Miao Du also threatened me in all kinds of ways. The villain is caught in it, and he won't have a good sleep at night. Master Xiang just needs to look at me.
Just know it.”
Xiang Shaolong carefully looked at his face, and found that his eyes were sunken and dark, and he was very haggard. He smiled and said, "I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? Lu Buwei has no humanity at all, but the poster decided to help him deceive me.
Are you looking for trouble?"
Wu Fu was stunned for a moment, then he pressed the blood on his face and said in a trembling voice, "I don't understand what you said."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Even Mo Ao can't fool me. Master Wu asked himself, how can he be better than Mo Ao?"
Wu Fu knelt on the ground and said in shock: "Master Xiang has misunderstood the villain. If the villain is deceiving..."
Xiang Shaolong cut him off and said, "Don't make a vow to God both in life and in death, otherwise I might be able to uphold justice on behalf of God and fulfill your just vow."
Wu Fu said sadly: "Please believe the villain, the villain is really..."
"Qiang" The sword of hundreds of battles came out of its sheath.
Wu Fu was so frightened that he rolled away, his forehead was covered in cold sweat as big as beans, and his face was ashen.
Xiang Shaolong calmly put the sword on the table next to him. He said calmly as if nothing had happened, "To be honest, Lu Buwei and Miao Du have people surrounded by me, so I know everything. I know everything.
As long as the poster tells another lie, I, Xiang Shaolong, will chop off your head with this knife and show it to the public in the city. Of course, you will be committing the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Wu Fu was stunned for a long time, and then said dejectedly: "The villain is convinced."
