Xiang Shaolong wanted to run away, but Li Si, who was extremely excited about his promotion, took him to see Xiaopan. Ji Yanran was not as angry as them and returned home on her own.
Although this trip was not a complete victory, it was a great turn of events. Wang Chi, Wang Ling, Lord Changping, Lord Changwen, etc. were all in high spirits, and they brought Xiang Shaolong, a great hero, into the inner court to see Xiaopan.
Seeing everyone arriving, Xiaopan walked down from the Dragon Seat, her eyes red with emotion.
Xiang Shaolong was a little confused as he watched the little Panlong walking towards him with an imposing manner.
When I asked him suddenly, he felt that Xiaopan was very strange, yet as close as his own son.
That extremely opposite feeling aroused in him extremely strange feelings.
In a few years, small plate will be crowned king.
And his relationship with the future Qin Shihuang was about to come to an end.
He had to leave.
Because he didn't want to be stained with the blood of the people of the Six Nations. He was deeply tired of the war.
Xiaopan's actual age is nineteen years old, and he fully possesses the majesty and majesty of a generation of overlords who are above all living beings.
Although Xiang Shaolong was half a head shorter than Xiang Shaolong, he had broad shoulders, thick back, thick hands and feet, big ears, and especially a pair of dragon eyes. Even Xiang Shaolong felt chilled when he looked at him.
In the past, Mr. Xu, Lu Gong immediately gave up his heart when he knew that he was not Lu Buwei's evil son; now in Wang Ling, Wang Chi is loyal to him for no reason. Gai Xiaopan is the kind of politician who is born with the charm of convincing people.
leader.
It is conceivable that when he is officially crowned king, it will be even worse.
Xiaopan came to Xiang Shaolong at this time, held his hands tightly, and exclaimed happily: "Master, we succeeded."
Li Si and others gathered around the two people and congratulated them loudly, but everyone was talking nonsense.
For a long time, the struggle between the monarch and his powerful ministers has rarely been completed without fighting.
But just by using Black Dragon's beautiful move, he immediately cut down most of the power that Lu Buwei had worked hard for many years, and crushed the rebellion that he might have secretly planned. Who could not be inexplicably moved when such a result was achieved without bloodshed?
Under the current situation, it is simply impossible to raise troops to cause rebellion. Even the civilians in Xianyang will revolt to support Xiaopan, let alone the army that has always been loyal to the royal family.
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "My lord, it's time for you to take a rest. Please give me permission from the crown prince."
Xiaopan sighed: "Although I am very reluctant, I have no choice but to do as the master wishes. But if something happens, the master will definitely come back to help me."
Xiang Shaolong felt relieved and said: "Wen has Chang Pingjun and Li Yanwei, Wu has two generals, and the prince will take care of it."
Everyone burst out laughing.
Because Xiang Shaolong and others said, it’s best not to bother me if nothing happens.
Li Si laughed and scolded: "Master Xiang, please don't laugh. In front of Xiang Shaolong, Li Si will always be the Li Si you first met outside the city when you came back from Zhao Kingdom."
Xiaopan asked: "When will Tai Tu return to the ranch for a short break?" Hearing that he especially emphasized the word "temporary break", everyone smiled knowingly.
Xiang Shaolong clenched Xiao Pan's hands with his backhand, feeling that their flesh and blood were connected together, and replied: "After Qiu Risheng's samurai villa is wiped out and Xiaojun gets married, I will go back to the ranch, and
The prince wants to take a break, and he will still stay in Xianyang for more than ten days. Hey, I want to go home to take a shower and change clothes so that I can attend the spring banquet tonight."
Xiaopan reluctantly let go of Xiang Shaolong's hand and said with emotion: "I, Ying Zheng, am what I am today, thanks to the Taifu."
As the king of a country, he was willing to say such words, and everyone was moved.
Only Xiang Shaolong truly understood what he meant.
Who would have thought that the naughty boy who only teased maids back then would turn out to be Qin Shihuang, the emperor who would rule the world for eternity?
The crowds outside the palace gate were crowded with people who came for "pilgrimage". When they saw Xiang Shaolong coming out, they immediately cheered.
The sound of hoofbeats sounded. Guoxing led a group of soldiers and rushed out from the side, saluting him from a distance.
When Xiang Shaolong saw Guoxing dressed in military uniform, he looked as majestic as a different person. He couldn't help but remember Jing Jun's first appearance in official uniform, and he couldn't help but feel a little closer to Guoxing.
Guoxing came to him and accompanied him to Wufu. He smiled and said: "Bizhi has been waiting outside the door for a while. When Miao Du and Lu Buwei came out just now, the crowd cheered and they were so angry.
Everything has changed. But when General Xiang came out, he won the most praise."
Xiang Shaolong watched the children wearing new clothes setting off firecrackers and chasing each other by the roadside, feeling more relaxed and comfortable than ever before.
Xiao Pan finally secured his throne, and from now on he would be the only one to find someone to settle the score with, like Lu Buwei, a disciple of Miao Du, who was an embarrassing opponent for him to practice boxing with.
Guoxing said: "Master Xiang, please believe me. I will follow you wholeheartedly from now on."
Xiang Shaolong heard that he changed his tone and assumed the attitude of a general, and said happily: "I will return to the ranch in ten days. Xiaojun will temporarily take over my position. You can follow Xiaojun well. This is the best time for you and him."
It’s a good chance to fix it.”
After Guoxing nodded in agreement, he lowered his voice and said: "After five of those assassins escaped, they went to Du Bi's general's mansion to avoid being hunted by the guards. According to Qiu Risheng, they will pretend to be from our samurai villa.
, go to the spring banquet tonight."
Xiang Shaolong asked curiously: "Do they think there is still a chance to assassinate tonight or don't they know that those who enter the palace for banquets are not allowed to carry weapons?"
Guo Yudao: "Qiu Risheng is not so careless. He just hopes to use this group of people to restore the prestige of the hotel."
Xiang Shaolong said calmly: "That's fine, let me show off Qiu Risheng's face tonight. If it weren't for Miao Du, I would have demolished his hotel today."
Guoxing was frightened when he heard this, and secretly thought that it was a good thing that he had "changed his allegiance to the Ming Lord", otherwise he would have been one of the humiliated people.
Guoxing added: "I heard that Shan Meimei wanted to hang herself this morning, but luckily she was saved."
At this moment, Xiang Shaolong only sympathized with Shan Meimei but had no hatred. However, it was not appropriate to intervene in this matter, so he could only sigh that he had more than enough intentions but not enough power.
I couldn't help but ask: "Is Shan Meimei's heart towards Miao Du?"
Guoxing said mysteriously: "I'm afraid only she herself knows this, but there is a news circulating among the maids in Zuifeng Tower that the person Shan Meimei really likes is you, Mr. Xiang."
Xiang Shaolong was startled and lost his voice: "This must be a mistake, otherwise why don't I feel anything?"
Guoxing shrugged and said: "A woman's heart is the most unpredictable. Maybe the message is really wrong." When they arrived at Wu Mansion, Guoxing bowed and left.
Xiang Shaolong thought of his happy and warm family and immediately put Shan Meimei's incident behind him.
As soon as he stepped into the mansion, his subordinates told him that Yang Yu, the red aunt of Zuifeng Tower, came to see him and was waiting in the east hall.
Xiang Shaolong was greatly shocked, vaguely guessing that it was related to Shan Meimei who committed suicide, and sighed in his heart.
He almost wanted to send someone to send Yang Yu away, but in the end he couldn't harden his heart and struggled with contradictions before going to the east hall.
This beauty has washed her face and is dressed in plain clothes. She looks more pleasing to the eye than her rich attire. Although she is not as good as Shi Sufang from the night before, her beauty is rare.
Until now, he still couldn't figure out the mystery deep in the heart of this beautiful girl.
Did she have to assassinate herself just because she succumbed to Lu Buwei's power? Or was she really in love with Guan Zhongxie or Shang, and was she willing to help him?
In this environment full of intrigues, he learned not to trust anyone easily.
At the same time, he also learned to use various means to deal with enemies, such as Wu Fu and Guoxing.
When Yang Yu saw him coming, he left his seat overjoyed to greet him.
Xiang Shaolong was really afraid that she would fall into someone's arms. If her servants saw her and reported it to Wu Tingfang and the other girls, he would jump into the Yellow River and there would be no way to wash her away.
People's psychology is like this. If he goes to Zui Feng Tower to fool around, he can ignore Ji Cai Nu and others, but if he brings Feng Liu home, it's a different matter.
Xiang Shaolong saluted quickly and said politely: "Miss Yu, please take a seat."
Yang Yu was an expert in figuring out a man's feelings. He smiled sweetly and gave him a meaningful wink. He then returned to his seat. When Xiang Shaolong sat down beside him, he frowned and sighed softly:
"Meimei wanted to hang herself this morning. Fortunately, we were on guard against her doing something stupid and were able to rescue her in time. However, there is a terrible bruise on her neck and she will not be able to see guests for a while."
Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "Miss Yu came to see Mr. Xiang. Do you think I can be of service to her?"
Yang Yu took a breath and said: "I also know that I have come to see General Xiang like this. I am very polite to me by not letting you get kicked out. It's just that Meimei and I are better than sisters, and the others are afraid of Lu Buwei."
The power is as silent as a cicada. Now in Xianyang City, the general is the only one who does not pay attention to Lu Buwei. Meimei and Yang Yu are desperate and have no choice but to shamelessly come to ask for help from Lord Xiang."
Xiang Shaolong said distressedly: "Hasn't Meimei always been on good terms with Master Miao? Now that his power has increased greatly, if he is willing to marry Meimei, and Meimei is willing, it will be difficult for Lu Buwei to object."
Yang Yu showed disdain and said: "Miao Du is nothing. At best, he is just the Queen Mother's favorite. He can just go out and fool around. Someone gave him two singers a month ago, but they ended up being sent to the Queen Mother."
He was beaten to death, General, please tell me who else dares to marry into his palace."
Xiang Shaolong was shocked when he heard this. He recalled Zhu Ji's defensive and malicious eyes during Lu Buwei's birthday party, and his whole body was filled with chills. Zhu Ji had become too powerful.
Since King Xiao of Zhuang was killed by Lu Buwei, she had a lot of psychological problems.
But I still didn't expect that she had turned into such a terrible woman.
Yang Yu continued: "What's more, Meimei was just a hypocrite to him. She was really fascinated by his handsome appearance and style, but since she heard Bai Lei talk about his unscrupulous bad things in the past, she only felt disgust, and
There is no joy anymore.”
Xiang Shaolong thought that Bai Lei must have heard about Miao Du's evil deeds from Han Jie. With Han Jie's personality, he would be jealous and harsh.
However, Miao Du also "deserved it".
Yang Yu's expression suddenly turned gentle, and he looked at him lovingly and said: "Only Mr. Xiang has the best reputation. Even your enemies can't tell you what bad things Mr. Xiang has done. We didn't understand it at first, but later we met
We have offended Mr. Xiang so many times, but Mr. Xiang still understands that we have no choice but to treat him kindly. We are secretly very grateful."
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said: "Being a good person is the hardest thing to do. Frankly speaking, it is really difficult for me to get involved in Lu Buwei's decision to take Meimei as his concubine, and I have no reason to get involved."
Yang Yu said confidently: "Master Xiang has at least two ways to help Meimei. The simplest is of course for Master Xiang to take Meimei as his concubine. However, I also know that this is difficult for someone to do and will also cause discord between Master Xiang and Master Miao."
.”
Xiang Shaolong sighed: "What about another way?"
Yang Yu bit her lower lip and said, "Help her escape from Qin."
Xiang Shaolong said in confusion: "It is easy for me to help her leave the country. As long as I give my orders, it can be done, but the problem is that for such a beautiful woman like her, there will be people coveting her beauty wherever she goes.
, doesn’t it mean that she escaped from the tiger’s mouth and entered the wolf’s mouth again? If she meets a thief or a gangster, her experience will be even more unimaginable.”
Yang Yu said happily: "As long as Mr. Xiang is willing to nod, it will be done. Meimei has a royal prince in Wei who admires her. He has sent people many times to beg Meimei to go to Daliang. As long as Mr. Xiang sends people to send him news and teach him to send
If people come to the border to greet us, then there will be no problem with Mei Mei’s safety.”
Xiang Shaolong's heart moved and he asked, "Who is the prince of the royal family?"
Yang Yu lowered his voice and said, "He is the Prince of Wei who used to be a hostage in Xianyang and later escaped back to Daliang."
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that this was the case.
It seemed that Shan Meimei didn't really like him, but becoming the crown prince would be better than being Lu Buwei's tool to vent her sexual desires.
Xiang Shaolong knew his own affairs and could never be so hard-hearted that he could not save his life. He smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, you teach Meimei to pretend to be sick in the small building and don't even want to see Wu Fu. Tonight, everyone will go to the spring banquet."
At that time, I sent someone to send her away overnight. Then I sent a fast horse to inform the prince and Lord Long Yang. The only thing I had to use my brain was to make it look like Meimei escaped on her own, so as not to implicate Yu.
Girls and others.”
Yang Yu was so happy that she threw herself into his arms, her eyes turning red.
Xiang Shaolong said in shock: "If you want to thank me, please sit down first."
Yang Yu desperately kissed him hard on the mouth, then moved away a little and sobbed with hot tears: "My body and beautiful hair are not enough to repay Master Xiang for his kindness and kindness.
"
Only Xiang Shaolong was sure that this was not just another trap, otherwise Yang Yu would really be a superstar in acting. Moreover, he did not have to personally participate in this matter, and it was impossible to harm him.
After discussing the details of the contact with Yang Yu, he asked casually: "Why don't you go with Meimei?"
Yang Yu glanced at him coyly, hesitated to speak, and finally lowered his conch, his face turned red, and his expression was extremely seductive.
Xiang Shaolong suddenly said: "It turns out that Miss Yu fell in love with Guan Zhongxie."
Yang Yu shook his head and said: "How could it be him? This man is a cold-blooded and ruthless person. Every time he gets along with someone, he immediately drives them away. He says he is not used to sleeping with others. Only Miss Lu San is the only such man.
Only then will you fall in love with him."
Xiang Shaolong muttered: "Of course he won't do this to Lu Niangrong. I know it must be that guy Xu Shang. He is indeed very good-looking."
Yang Yu bit his lip and remained silent, but his expression was distressed and helpless. After a while, he said: "It's still the same there. Suppose Lu Buwei forces me to be a concubine, I have no choice but to accept my fate. But Meimei is much stronger than me. Alas.
, I’m afraid Mr. Xiang won’t believe it when I say it, but I don’t want to deceive Mr. Xiang in any way. Meimei’s hanging was just a fake thing that Meimei and I came up with to delay Lu Buwei.”
Xiang Shaolong said dejectedly: "I was very careful, but I still got fooled by you."
Yang Yu vowed: "Now there is nothing to hide. Originally, I didn't even dare to come to see Mr. Xiang, but Meimei said that only Mr. Xiang has the ability to help her, and he will definitely help her. Because she knows that Mr. Xiang is naturally chivalrous.
A true hero."
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly again and said: "She is very accurate in seeing how I am the scapegoat."
Yang Yu wiped away the tears and showed a charming smile. "Meimei said that if Master Xiang doesn't want her, just send her away. Alas, which girl in Xianyang City doesn't want to be married to Master Xiang now?"
Xiang Shaolong has a strong heart. A "professional" woman like Yang Yu is really good at what she does to please a man. It makes people feel very useful even if they know it is a lie.
At least Gui Yan, Lu Niangrong, and even Ying Ying didn't want to marry him, Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong saw that he was running out of time and had to arrange Shan Meimei's escape from Xianyang. He also had to rush to the palace for a banquet. He was even more afraid of misunderstandings from Ji Yanran and others, so he hurriedly invited Yang Yu up and sent him out the door.
After Yang Yu Pianran left, the first thing Xiang Shaolong did was to find Zhao Da. Since he had lived with Zhao Ya in Daliang for a long time and was most familiar with the local situation, it was most appropriate for him to be responsible for this matter.
.
Shan Meimei is sent away like this. The most unfortunate person is Wu Fu, which will force him to lean further on himself and become another useful pawn in Lu Buwei's group.
Zhao Da thought it was some kind of dangerous mission. Hearing that Shan Meimei was just being sent to the Wei Kingdom, he readily agreed.
When Xiang Shaolong returned to the back cell, he thought that Ji Yanran and others were dressed up to wait for him. Little did he know that all the wives and maidservants were having fun with their children. They were all dressed in casual clothes and had no intention of attending the spring banquet.
Xiang Shaolong asked curiously: "Why don't you go and take advantage of the excitement?"
Ji Yanran was lying lazily on the couch, leaning against the soft cushions, and said tiredly: "My lord, I seem to have forgotten who raised the dragon's tail to take pictures of the river water all morning, and then stood in the court for punishment.
The whole hour. I originally wanted to go, but after bathing, I suddenly lost all strength. I just wanted to do nothing, and I had no time to think about why my husband chatted with the girl from Zui Feng Tower for most of the night."
Xiang Shaolong felt pity at first, and then almost got angry. He knelt down, took a sip on her cheek, and said to Wu Tingfang, "What about you?"
Zhao Zhi curled his lips and said: "Sister Yanran is not here, how can we still be interested?" Xiang Shaolong understood a little bit in his heart, raised his hands in surrender and said: "The gods can learn from it, I, Xiang Shaolong and Yang Yu are not as good as before.
Any personal relationship is the same today, the reason why she..."
Ji Yanran covered his mouth with her hand and said with a smile: "Don't be suspicious, we are just joking."
Wu Tingfang smiled coquettishly and said in a charming manner: "But it is true that I will not go to the banquet. When I saw Lu Buwei, I remembered... Well, I won't say anything anymore."
Seeing her expression darken, Xiang Shaolong immediately thought of his beloved people such as Zhao Qian and Chun Ying, and understood what she meant.
Tian Zhen and Tian Feng came over, picked him up, and helped him take a bath.
After being properly dressed, they came to the lobby, where Teng Yi and Jing Jun were chatting with Tao Fang, waiting for him.
Xiang Shaolong said: "Has Zhao Da informed you about Shan Meimei?"
Teng Yi nodded and said: "This is just a small matter. It is always a good thing to anger Lu Buwei and harm Wu Fu."
Jing Jun muttered: "Shan Meimei just sees this clearly. I don't worry about you not agreeing. But this woman is really beautiful."
Xiang Shaolong reminded him. He immediately discounted Yang Yu because he was too easy to think on the bright side.
Tao Li said: "I met Tu Xian just now. He asked me if Black Dragon was Shao Long's idea. I didn't dare to lie to him. Tu Xian asked me to tell you that he really convinced you. This trick is better than stabbing Lu Buwei twice.
Remember that the sword of hundreds of battles is even more powerful. Lu Buwei was furious after returning home, and he also guessed that we were pretending, but there was nothing we could do. I first said that with Lu Buwei's character, he might take risks, and taught us to be more careful."
Xiang Shaolong was stunned and nodded, because he was indeed a little carried away by the victory and was so ecstatic that it was very dangerous.
Teng Yi smiled and said: "Guan Zhongxie arrested a group of people, but as far as I can see, they are all innocent people. He still wanted to use these people to take the blame, but our Lord Tingwei took them over. He was not allowed to beat them.
, Guan Zhongxie has lost his authority this time."
Jing Jun said distressedly: "Whenever I see Guoxing, I feel angry. The third brother wants me to teach him how to do things. Alas."
Xiang Shaolong grabbed his arm and pulled him over, and said seriously: "You can correct your mistakes if you know them, and there is no greater good. Xiaojun will treat it as a kindness and give him a chance."
Teng Yi stood up and said: "It's almost time, let's enter the palace."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Remember to bring your Mozi sword. There will be a lot of fun tonight."
Tao Fang was surprised: "How could such a thing happen? This is the state banquet of the Qin Dynasty. Without the crown prince's nod, who would dare to cause trouble?"
Xiang Shaolong slapped the sword hanging on his waist and said with a smile: "We are the ones who have the prince's nod, so that we can save the time to go to the samurai villa in the future."
Only then did Teng and Jing understand.
Xiang Shaolong took the lead and walked towards the gate, laughing and saying: "The birth of the black dragon is an arrangement of fate. On this happy day, let's wish Qiu Risheng a happy New Year in advance."
Teng, Jingtao and the other three chased him with smiles and stepped out of the door with him.
The Eighteen Iron Guards and Teng Jingtao's personal entourage were ready and waiting.
After the four of them mounted their horses, they galloped out of the gate and headed in the direction of the palace.
The entire city of Xianyang was shrouded in the mist of night, as strange as a ghostland.
Xiang Shaolong suddenly brightened up when he thought of returning to the ranch to enjoy some happiness.
Ever since Zhao Qian and others died unfortunately, he had never been as carefree as he was now, and he never felt like he was being suffocated by an invisible burden.
