Xiang Shaolong's mind entered a state of stillness, his steps were steady and matched to a certain rhythm, and he could accurately estimate the opponent's approach and distance.
Ever since he came to the Warring States period in a time machine, he has lived a day without touching weapons and is very familiar with all types of weapons. At this moment, he listened carefully and immediately overturned the initial belief that the attacker was armed with a spear. idea, and I am sure that the other party used a halberd.
The halberd can be said to be a mixture of a spear that is suitable for thrusting and a sword that is used for cutting horizontally. It can both stab and hook. The sound it makes when sprinting is obviously different from that of a spear or a sword.
Xiang Shaolong wanted to turn around and take a look, but he knew that if he did so, he would lose his ability to be unpredictable and lead the opponent to attack with all his strength.
A gust of wind blew in his face, and the rain and snow hit Xiang Shaolong so hard that he almost closed his eyes.
The sound of the wind further obscured the sound of halberds and hoofbeats.
At this time, the rider from behind came within two feet. With a little effort, he could attack him in the blink of an eye.
A sudden "Shen Liang is dead" sounded like thunder from behind.
Xiang Shaolong closed his eyes suddenly, moved sideways to the right, and reached the horse path. He released the hilt of the sword with his right hand and drew the sword with his left hand.
You must know that he has been walking slowly on the sidewalk on the left and holds the sword in his right hand. If anyone attacks from the rear, he must think that he will move to the left to extend the distance, and then draw the sword with his right hand to block it. Ge. Unexpectedly, he actually went in the opposite direction and moved to the right into the horse path, causing the enemy's halberd to attack in the wrong direction.
A slight difference can lead to a mistake of a thousand miles.
What's more, it's a time of life and death.
The man exclaimed and tried to change the direction of the halberd's attack, but was a step too late.
Xiang Shaolong didn't even look back, and stabbed the overshooting horse in the butt with his backhand sword.
The war horse neighed in pain and galloped forward, almost throwing the knight off his horse.
Seeing the other party riding alone and disappearing into the snow as if running for their lives, Xiang Shaolong felt funny in his heart.
Winning this battle may seem easy, but in fact it involves courage, timing, and coordination in all aspects of body and footwork.
The best part was the sudden snowstorm.
Although he, Xiang Shaolong, was affected, it would have a greater impact on the enemies galloping towards the wind, otherwise he, Xiang Shaolong, might not be able to use this strategy.
Xiang Shaolong sheathed his sword, turned into a side alley, walked hurriedly for a while, looked for the direction of Jiefu, and finally arrived at his destination in less than half an hour.
He reported his name to the doorkeeper and was led into the palace and waited in the outer hall.
The maids serving tea looked at him strangely and whispered to each other, as if he was like a monster that emerged from nowhere.
When Xiang Shaolong felt uncomfortable looking at him, Xie Ziyuan came with a green face and pale lips. After shooing away the servants, he sat next to him and whispered: "It's really not the right time to pick me up today. I don't know who took me there last night." I told my wife about visiting the brothel, and she was furious just now, but she didn't even hit me yet. Brother Shen, run away, she won't believe anything you say now."
Xiang Shaolong said sympathetically: "Then I'll come back to see Brother Jie in two days."
Xie Ziyuan pulled him up and said: "Hurry up"
As the two of them hurriedly walked toward the door, they heard a scream, "Where to go?"
Xie Ziyuan was shaken all over, as if he had been stabbed and couldn't move.
Xiang Shaolong's body was also shaken violently and he stayed on the spot in disbelief.
With the sound of the ring, Xie Ziyuan's evil wife came behind the two of them and sneered: "Where are you going? Do you think I don't know the tricks of the two of you?"
He shouted again: "Jie Quan, get out of here. I want you to tell me everything about last night. I guarantee everything."
When Xie Ziyuan was struck by lightning, it turned out that even his last "loyal servant" was conquered.
Jie Quan ran out of nowhere, knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Young master and villain are forced."
Xie Ziyuan turned around mechanically and said with a sad face: "This is all my idea, it has nothing to do with Brother Shen."
Xiang Shaolong still turned his back to Xie Ziyuan's wife: he had mixed feelings in his heart, because he recognized Xie Ziyuan's wife from Niu Yin as Shanrou, whom he had once deeply loved.
She finally gave up her dream of wandering around, returned to her roots, became a housewife, and gave birth to two sons.
What he wanted to do most at this time was to leave Jiefu without looking back, so that Shanrou would never know that he had been there.
He also understands why Xie Ziyuan loves her and is afraid of her at the same time. To be honest, that is the greatest "fun" that Shanrou gives a man.
To this day, he still has endless recollections of every moment he spent with Shan Rou.
Xie Ziyuan's "loyalty" and putting all the responsibility on himself moved him even more.
It's one thing to want to walk, but not being able to take a single step.
Shanrou pointed her finger at him and shouted: "Is your name Shen Liang? You look like you were born tall and strong, but you are as timid as a mouse, and you don't even dare to look at people in the eye?"
All the maids and servants immediately burst into laughter.
Xiang Shaolong said calmly: "Mrs. Xie, can you please ask the others out of the hall? Shen would like to say a few words for Brother Xie privately."
Xie Ziyuan said anxiously: "This has nothing to do with Brother Shen. Madam, can you let Brother Shen go? If you want to punish me, just punish me."
To everyone's surprise, Shanrou remained silent as if she had been stabbed.
Xiang Shaolong felt the kind eyes piercing his back, and he really didn't know what it felt like.
When everyone was confused, Shanju said: "Everyone, get out of here."
Xie Ziyuan said in astonishment: "Do you want to go out as a husband?"
Shanrou Dajiao sniffed: "What kind of husband are you for? You are the first one to get out of here."
After a while, everyone left, and only the two of them were left in the empty hall.
Shanrou's rapid breathing sounded behind him. Xiang Shaolong slowly turned around, their eyes locked, and both of them trembled as if they were electrocuted. She was a little plumper, but more beautiful than before.
Shanrou took two steps towards him, then stopped, struggling to restrain her urge to fall into Xiang Shaolong's arms.
Xiang Shaolong's throat was knotted, and he had thousands of words to say, but he didn't know where to start. He finally let out a long sigh, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and walked towards the door.
Shanrou took two steps after him and called out in a low voice: "Shaolong"
Xiang Shaolong hardened his heart and walked out the door.
More than a dozen eyes fell on him immediately. The servants and generals were so surprised that he could come out "completely intact" with their wide-open mouths closed.
Xie Ziyuan Hengli rushed out, hit him on the shoulder, and walked towards the outer door. He said excitedly: "What did Brother Shen say to her?"
Xiang Shaolong joked: "Although my sister-in-law is a bit overbearing, she is not an ignorant person. I explained to her the greater the pressure, the stronger the resistance. Assuming that she lets Brother Jie go out and mess around, I guarantee that It doesn’t take long to get tired of brother-in-law.”
Jie Ziyuan said: "How could I be tired? How did she answer you?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "She said she should think about it carefully."
Xie Ziyuan said happily: "This is a huge turning point. Brother Shen, can you stay and chat with me?"
Xiang Shaolong felt as if he was in knots at this moment. Those who were interested in chatting with him threatened him and threatened him: "You'd better go in and accompany your sister-in-law obediently. If she thinks you are up to something evil again, then say
Maybe I can save myself the trouble of even thinking about it.”
Xie Ziyuan was shocked and quickly let go of Xiang Shaolong's hand with a funny expression.
Xiang Shaolong waved goodbye, walked out of Jie Mansion, and came to the windy and snowy road.
My heart was at a loss.
After arriving in Linzi, he had been trying to find Shanrou, but he never expected to meet her under such circumstances, and she was still someone else's wife.
Xie Ziyuan should be a good husband, alas
When Mei Canniang remarried someone else, he didn't feel much about it. In the final analysis, it was because of her weak emotional foundation.
But he did love Shanrou deeply.
He respects Shanrou's choice, and he already has a happy marriage and family. However, when he comes to a strange place like Qi, he easily feels lonely and lonely. This is why Shanrou finds it difficult to continue a relationship with him.
Sad.
The wind and snow hit his face and head, making him feel cold and painful, as if he had woken up from a dream.
After sighing for another day, Xiang Shaolong walked back to the hotel.
Let the past go
He sincerely blessed Shanrou for abandoning hatred.
Back at the hotel, Xiao Yuetan had been waiting for him for a long time. When he saw him coming back so early, he was surprised and said, "I heard from your men that you would come back very late, and you were about to leave. Hey, why do you look so ugly?"
Xiang Shaolong pulled him into the room, sat down and said, "You should have heard that Shanrou is Zhizhi's biological sister. She once had a relationship with me, and now she is my wife who understands Ziyuan."
Xiao Yuetan said in astonishment: "It's such a coincidence again."
Xiang Shaolong didn't want to dwell on this matter, so he changed the topic and asked Zou Yan. Xiao Yuetan looked strange and said: "Master Zou went to find his own tomb somewhere. He hasn't returned home for more than ten days."
Xiang Shaolong's heart twitched when he heard it, and he was speechless.
Xiao Yuetan lowered his voice and said, "Lu Buwei arrived by boat this afternoon, along with Han Jie and Xu Shang."
Xiang Shaolong wondered: "Isn't Han Jie a member of Miao Du?"
Xiao Yuetan said: "Just from this one thing, we can know that Lu Buwei and Miao Du secretly formed a party. Han Jie is one of the four disciples of Cao Qidao, the "Jixia Sword Master". With him as a guide, the swordsman from Jixia might be able to
If we stand on the side of Lu Buwei and Tian Dan, the situation will be completely different."
After a pause, he continued: "With Lu Buwei's methods, the King of Qi will be convinced that if Tian Jian is replaced, the relationship with Qin will be damaged. If Cao Qidao is on the side of the eldest prince Tian Sheng and Tian Dan,
It’s strange that Tian Jian is not the loser in this battle for the throne.”
Xiang Shaolong said with impunity: "Whoever loses and who wins is a family matter of the Qi people. What I care about now is how to fulfill the dreams of the beauties in the kabuki troupe. Lu Buwei will do whatever he likes."
Already."
Xiao Yuetan said in surprise: "I have rarely seen Shaolong so depressed. Don't you think it would be interesting to stop Lu Buwei? You have a good sleep tonight, and you may be better when you wake up tomorrow.
change one's mind."
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said: "Unless I can appear as Xiang Shaolong, how can I influence King Qi's decision? And in that case, Ruoming will ask Lu Buwei to deal with me. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, Li Yuan
He Long Yangjun has seen through me."
Xiao Yuetan quickly asked, and after Xiang Shaolong explained clearly, Xiao Yuetan said excitedly: "If this is the case, the situation will be completely different. What the people of Qi are most afraid of now is that the Chu people will join forces with the three Jins to curb their ambitions against the Yan Kingdom. As long as Tian
If we can't deal with you blatantly, it will be much easier for us to deal with it."
Xiang Shaolong said distressedly: "Every advantage has its disadvantages. If I publicly appear as Xiang Shaolong, Lu Buwei, Tian Dan, and even Guo Kai will secretly use methods to deal with me, but if I still pretend to be Shen If you are good, you will have to deal with the provocations of Zhongsun Long and the swordsmen of Qi. It is difficult to be a man of left and right."
There was a knock on the door, and it turned out that it was Xiao Ping'er who asked him to talk to Feng Fei. Xiao Yuetan whispered that he would see her tomorrow and left, while Xiang Shaolong went with Xiao Ping'er to see Feng Fei.
Feng Fei was playing the harp in the hall on the second floor of the main building, and her appearance seemed to be absent, like the fairy music coming from nine heavens away. Her expression was focused. When Xiang Shaolong sat down opposite her, she still seemed not to notice him. advent.
After Xiao Ping'er retreated downstairs, Xiang Shaolong lay comfortably half lying and half sitting on the soft cushions. He not only feasted on this beauty's peerless appearance, but also listened to the heavenly and fairy sounds. .
Feng Fei played the piano with her slender hands. After a few more clear notes, she stopped suddenly. She raised her pretty face and looked at him. Her eyes shone and she asked, "Mr. Shen, do you recognize this piece of music?"
Xiang Shaolong was stunned for a moment and shook his head blankly.
Feng Fei smiled sweetly and said: "This is exactly the music score that was changed from those minor keys of yours. How can you not recognize it?"
Xiang Shaolong scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I really can't hear it at all, how could it be like this?"
Feng Fei said softly: "Of course I can't follow your tunes rigidly. After a few changes, do you become this happy?"
Feng Fei had never spoken to him in such a coquettish manner before. Xiang Shaolong was flattered and said, "Miss, you are indeed smart. I wonder if you have changed all the music for this birthday celebration to a new tune?"
Feng Fei looked out the window at the snowy night and sighed: "Did you know that it was only at this moment that people were surprised that it was snowing outside? After hearing those strange tunes of yours, Feng Fei seemed to be possessed by one after another. Compose a new piece of music. I didn’t expect it to be so easy.”
Xiang Shaolong said happily: "Congratulations, Miss."
Feng Fei's eyes moved back to his face, her beautiful eyes paying close attention: "What kind of person are you?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "He has hands, feet, eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and he is no different from anyone else."
Feng Fei said: "But in my eyes, you are like a god who descended from the fairy world to save people in trouble. Oh, if there is a god, what a beautiful thing it would be. There are too many things in the world that make people miserable. I hate myself, sometimes I even hate myself."
Xiang Shaolong thought for a moment, nodded and said: "There are many things that can make people impatient, but Miss, do you know that in the eyes of others, you are an unattainable and favored person of heaven, so it is extremely honorable to fall under your skirt." thing."
Feng Fei leaned on the cushion of the chair and said with a sweet smile: "Your choice of words is really weird, what about "the unattainable pride of heaven" and "bowing down under the skirt". Alas, Feng Fei is just an ordinary person. She only works when creating and performing. , I felt that I was a little extraordinary."
Then she looked at him with twinkling eyes and said, "Would you like to chat with others here tonight? Every time I compose a song, I have a hard time falling asleep, and I always have no one to talk to."
Xiang Shaolong was startled and said in a daze: "I am a servant after all. If you leave me in the intercalary room like this, aren't you afraid that people will gossip about you?"
Feng Fei muttered: "Where did your courage go two nights ago? If it had been another man, in the current situation, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to leave?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said: "Ever since I found out that the eldest lady's lover is Xiang Shaolong, the more I think about it, the more shocked I am. If someone informs him when I come to Xianyang in the future, I will know that I have left a person in the eldest lady's room.
Late, even if I haven’t done anything, I’m afraid my life will be in danger, does the eldest lady think so?”
Feng Fei froze and was speechless.
Xiang Shaolong is amused in his heart, this is called using Zi's spear and attacking Zi's shield. Using her "Xiang Shaolong" to suppress her real "Xiang Shaolong" is absolutely ridiculous.
After a while, Feng Fei said distressedly: "Aren't men so bold? Why are you so bold in other things, but so timid in this matter?"
Xiang Shaolong pretended to be surprised and said: "From the tone of the eldest lady, it seems that besides having a heart-to-heart talk with the villain, is there anything else?"
Feng Fei smiled coquettishly, glanced at him charmingly, and said happily: "It's really interesting to talk to you. I, Feng Fei, have always been the only one to play tricks on men, but I didn't expect you to play tricks on me now.
Come"
Xiang Shaolong said in astonishment: "What's coming?"
Feng Fei's mouth was full of spring and she said coquettishly: "Will you take off your boots first? Master Deacon."
Xiang Shaolong stared at her blankly for a long time, then murmured: "Miss, are you serious? It's very difficult to stop this kind of thing once it starts. At that time, miss can't even regret it."
What he said is true. When a beauty like Feng Fei, who is comparable to Ji Yanran and Qin Qing, deliberately seduces a man, even a Zen monk might not be able to hold her back, let alone Xiang Shaolong.
Suddenly, the snow and wind outside, the lights inside the room, and the warmth from the stove all intensified the already existing romantic and warm atmosphere by multiples.
Looking at her flowery face, the charming eyebrows at the corners of her eyes, her bulging chest and slender waist, who can't help but fall in love with her.
Feng Fei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Where did Deacon Shen go? If he wants to sleep on the couch, he has to take off his shoes. Xiao Ping'er happens to be away, so I have to do it for you."
Xiang Shaolong was almost angry to death. He gritted his teeth, moved over, and reached out to pick up her right foot.
Feng Fei exclaimed and frowned: "Deacon Shen, can you be gentle?"
Xiang Shaolong felt his breathing quicken. He held her slender feet with his left hand, slid his right hand up to caress her flawless calves, and sighed: "Sheet-fat white jade, nothing more than this."
Feng Fei's delicate body began to tremble, and she said softly with half-closed eyes: "If you promise me not to push up, I will let you take advantage of me as a reward for helping me get through this difficult time."
.”
Xiang Shaolong said angrily: "When the eldest lady said this, isn't she reminding me to keep going deeper?" As he spoke, he moved his hand upwards unceremoniously.
Feng Fei felt Xiang Shaolong's hands crossing her knees, exploring her inviolable thighs. With a moan, she reached out and pressed Xiang Shaolong's hands through her skirt.
Xiang Shaolong withdrew his hand, took off her cotton boots in a serious manner, and then used her feet to massage her, making Feng Fei's delicate body soft and her eyes as charming as silk.
Xiang Shaolong picked her up and walked to her boudoir.
Feng Fei hugged his neck tightly and breathed softly into his ear: "You killed Feng Fei?"
Xiang Shaolong wondered: "How to harm you?"
Feng Fei said: "If you make someone fall in love with you, wouldn't you kill them?"
Xiang Shaolong came to his senses and secretly exclaimed that it was very dangerous. He really shouldn't have a relationship with this beautiful girl whom he really liked, otherwise it would make the matter more complicated and the consequences difficult to predict.
After placing her on the couch, Xiang Shaolong bent his head and kissed her sweet lips for a day, and said softly: "Don't worry, young lady, as long as I remember that you are Xiang Shaolong's, I wouldn't dare to do anything to my fault."
Touch you."
After saying that, he ran away as if running for his life.
