Xie Ziyuan's face was quite ugly, and he looked like he was worried. When he saw Xiang Shaolong pulling him towards the door, he said: "I suddenly have something urgent, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pick up Brother Shen at the appointed time, so Came early."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Brother Xie has something urgent, so we can reschedule it for another day."
Xie Ziyuan shook his head and said: "Then woe betide Xie Ziyuan. I originally wanted to send someone to pick you up, but it's not appropriate to think about it. I just stopped by. When Brother Shen arrives at the house, please forgive me for being with you for a while."
The two stepped out of the gate, and more than thirty generals and carriages were waiting for them in the square.
This was the first time that Xiang Shaolong saw Xie Ziyuan in a battle formation, and he said in astonishment, "Brother Xie is so majestic."
Xie Ziyuan shook his head and sighed: "I don't want to be so public. It was Zhongsun Long who forced me to do this. Let's talk about it after we get in the car."
From Wei pulled the car door, the two got on and sat down, and the carriage drove out of the courtyard. Xie Ziyuan sighed and said: "Don't look at the lively and prosperous Linzi on the surface. In fact, everyone is in danger and may be in danger."
Xiang Shaolong asked in a low voice: "Is Brother Jie referring to the fight for the throne between the two princes?"
Xie Yuyuan was surprised and said: "It turns out that Brother Shen also knows the inside story."
Xiang Shaolong said: "I know a little bit about Brother Xie's frown. Is there any sudden change that would make Brother Xie troubled?"
Xie Ziyuan sighed again and said in a deep voice: "There are some things that it will never be beneficial for Brother Shen to know. Brother Shen went to the house first to chat with his wife. I met Zhongsun Longhou and then came back to see Brother Shen. Hey Why are you going out for a walk tonight? Brother Shen knows how to talk to my wife."
Xiang Shaolong laughed dumbly and said, "I thought Brother Jie had forgotten."
Xie Ziyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Now more than ever, I need to go to a brothel to relieve my boredom."
Xiang Shaolong cares about Shanrou and naturally loves Wujiwu. He cares about Xie Ziyuan, but he knows that Jie Ziyuan will never casually tell him about the struggle of the royal family to an outsider. Playing tricks?"
Xie Ziyuan was shocked and said: "How could Brother Shen know?"
Xiang Shaolong lowered his voice and said: "I lived in Xianyang for a while, and I am very familiar with some of the important figures in the Qin court. I am well aware of the tricks of the traitor Lu Buwei, so I can guess right."
Xie Ziyuan was stunned and said, "Heavyweight person, this is the first time I have heard this adjective. When I think about it, it is very appropriate. Who does Brother Shen know?"
Xiang Shaolong casually said the names of Li Si, Chang Pingjun brothers and others, including himself of course.
Xie Ziyuan was stunned when he heard this, and he let out a breath and said: "So Brother Shen has friendship with a group of close officials around Ying Zheng? The most powerful one is of course Xiang Shaolong. Lu Buwei tried every means to defeat him, so he asked Brother Shen casually, Ying Zheng Is Zheng Zheng the son of Lu Buwei and Zhu Ji?"
Xiang Shaolong affirmed: "Of course not, otherwise how could their relationship be so tense? What on earth did Lu Buwei do to make brother Jie so troubled? Did he say anything to your king?"
Xie Ziyuan obviously had a good heart, and shook his head and said: "This kind of thing can easily lead to the catastrophe of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. I'm afraid that I will tire Brother Shen, so it's best for Brother Shen to ignore it."
Xiang Shaolong knew better than to force him, thinking that he could not let Shanrou's house be confiscated no matter what. However, he had no idea at the moment because he had no idea what was going on.
Xie Ziyuan changed the topic and said: "It seems that Feng Fei thinks highly of Brother Shen."
Xiang Shaolong remembered his entangled relationship with Feng Fei and responded casually. His mind turned to the struggle for the throne of Qi Kingdom. Things that had nothing to do with him originally became directly related because of Shanrou.
Tian Dan and Lu Buwei are both experts in conspiracy. Although Zhong Sunlong, Xie Ziyuan and other people in this group have the help of various countries, it is still unknown whether they can become the winners.
It would be great if Zou Yan was here. He, a great master famous for his precognition skills, could point to the stars and the moon and say a few words, which would be more effective for King Qi than anyone else's eloquent words.
At this time, the carriage arrived at Jie Mansion. After Xiang Shaolong got off the carriage, Xie Ziyuan left the original carriage without touching the ground and went to Zhong Sunlong's place to discuss secretly with his party members.
The maid led Xiang Shaolong to the inner palace to see Shanrou, but Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, telling himself that Shanrou was now a woman and he must not continue the relationship, otherwise how could he live up to his conscience?
After all, Aunt Shanrou was kind and gentle, without the weakness and coquettishness of ordinary women. After driving all the servants out of the side hall with a normal expression, she said to each other: "Will I turn into a man-eating tiger after I get married? As soon as I see him, I will
People run away as fast as they can, are you used to escaping during this period of time?"
Then there was a "poof" sound, and he gave him a lustful look, gasping and laughing: "Bad guys are bad guys everywhere, how dare you collude with Zi Yuan to deceive me, if it weren't for the sake of merit, look at
I won’t discount your dog legs.”
Xiang Shaolong felt relieved when he saw Shanrou's "ferocious" appearance. He sat down unceremoniously and said with a smile: "Why don't you bring two fat and white sons to show me? I don't like anyone who looks like Rou."
The big little ones are so good, do they know how to punch, punch and kick people when they are born?"
Shanrou laughed like a flower and fell down on the floor, saying angrily: "I really want to beat you up, but after understanding Madam, it's not easy to find someone who dares to talk back or fight back. The master doesn't know how to fight back now."
If he is willing to dance with a sword or a cudgel, his disciples are even more useless and their hands are itchy from exhaustion."
Xiang Shaolong said in shock: "No wonder Brother Xie is going to suffer."
Shan Rou Lang glared at him and said, "Don't call me so scary. How about we fight with wooden swords for fun?"
Xiang Shaolong's heart moved and he said, "Your master has four most proud disciples. I know two of them are Han Jie and Zhongsun Xuanhua. Who are the other two?"
Shanrou said with disdain: "What are the four proud disciples? I don't know. I only know that the master loves me Shanrou the most. Zhongsun Xuanhua, the turtle, only knows how to shrink his head. Every time he wants to fight, he pushes three and four.
I really want to cut off his balls. Hee"
Xiang Shaolong burst out laughing when he heard this. He was really pleased that this unruly beauty had not changed her character after becoming a mother. He asked casually: "Does Tian Dan know that you have become Mrs. Jie?"
Shanrou snorted coldly: "So what if I know. I won't go to that old thief to settle accounts. He should worship his ancestors and repay the gods. Oh, it's strange. After killing that fake, all the hatred in my heart disappeared. Although the old thief Tian
He is still alive, but I regard him as dead."
Xiang Shaolong said seriously: "Let's talk about business, okay? Do you know Han Jie? What kind of person is he? What is his character?"
Shanrou raised her cute little mouth and said: "Who can be a good person who can collude with Miao Du? I have never had a good impression of him, but he is still capable of a lot of tricks."
Suddenly he frowned and said: "Why don't you go back to Xianyang? Zhizhi is worried to death."
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said: "I sneaked here because I was desperate. Do you think I'm here to enjoy the mountains and rivers?"
Shanrou nodded and said: "I heard that the roads and rivers have been blocked by the continuous heavy snow for more than ten days, and you can't stand it without leaving the stove. I will ask Ziyuan to send you away later."
Xiang Shaolong was startled and said: "You must not, you must not let Brother Xie know my identity, otherwise in the future if the matter is spread, he will commit the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Shanrou said proudly: "With his status in the Jie family, the best he can do is not be an official. What's the point of being an official?"
Xiang Shaolong knew that she was deeply devastated by the confiscation of her father's house because he was an official, so he agreed: "Brother Jie is too kind-hearted and is not suitable for working in the officialdom."
Shanrou smiled and said: "Neither he nor you are good people. If you think about fooling around outside all day long, you almost become an accomplice."
Xiang Shaolong said calmly: "The more unavailable something is, the more precious it is. You try to force him to go out and fool around for ten nights in a row. I'm sure he will stop going after he gets tired of it. Besides, he went to Qingqiao to find a composer."
The inspiration is not really random."
Shanrou's eyes widened and she asked, "Did he beg you to come and plead with me?"
Xiang Shaolong is actually as afraid of Shanrou as Xie Ziyuan, he raised his hands in surrender and said: "Sister Rou, you should understand which side I am on."
Shanrou smiled sweetly and said, "Of course I know. It's great that you're here. This way, when Ziyuan goes out to fool around, you can come and accompany me."
Xiang Shaolong lost his voice and said: "What?"
Shanjudo: "This is only fair."
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, now I am trying to think of ways to save my own life every day. I..."
Shanrou said angrily: "Forget it, are you a treasure? If anyone wants you to accompany them, both of them should get away from me, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
Xiang Shaolong was speechless after hearing this.
Shanrou glanced at him and said with a smile: "I'm just bluffing you; how could they be willing to drive you away? Mr. Xiang is the little girl's first lover. He doesn't even give you such a small favor, how can you still do it?"
How can you be so arrogant in front of Ziyuan? In this way, you are allowed to go out and have sex tonight, but you must come back before the first watch, otherwise Ziyuan will sleep at your place." Then he touched his belly and shouted: "No wait.
Ziyuan wants to eat."
After dinner, Xie Ziyuan still hadn't returned. Xiang Shaolong took the opportunity to say goodbye and went back to Songyuan. As soon as he stepped through the courtyard gate, the doorkeeper said: "Prime Minister Li of Chu State sent someone to look for Master Shen, but Master Shen was not there, so he had to leave.
Hey, Mr. Shen is really cool with people, all of us brothers will follow you from now on."
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that he would not be able to protect himself. How could he take care of his brothers? When he said a few perfunctory words, the young general named Chi Zichun lowered his voice and said: "I have something I must tell Master Xin, but Master Shen knows it well."
Just don’t reveal that it was me who said it.”
Xiang Shaolong was surprised: "What's the matter?"
Chi Zichun said: "Today I saw Gu Ming and Fang Sheng sneaking out of the street, so I followed them to have a look. It turned out that they were going to see Sha Li. It seemed like nothing good would happen.
What I'm most afraid of is that they are going to deal with you, Mr. Shen."
Xiang Shaolong thought to himself how he could handle so many things at the same time.
The best strategy is to immediately start making another pair of skis, and take advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when the snow is waist-deep outside the city, and immediately "slide away" to ensure that all the pursuing troops from the six eastern countries will not be able to catch him.
This idea is indeed extremely tempting, but the problem is that he can't pass his own level, not to mention that the situation on Jie Ziyuan's side is still unknown, so how can he leave with peace of mind.
He patted Chi Zichun on the shoulder, encouraged him a few words, and then walked towards the inner courtyard.
However, Chi Zichun caught up with him, pulled him to a corner and said, "I have one more thing to tell you, Mr. Shen. After Gu Ming came back, he went to see the second young lady, and then the second young lady and Miss Xiuzhen went out."
Xiang Shaolong was furious that Dong Shuzhen and Zhu Xiuzhen were so ignorant that they still colluded with Sha Li and risked their lives for them in vain.
Returning to the inner courtyard, Xiao Yuetan was waiting for him in the small side hall of the courtyard where the bedroom was, and said happily: "I have already arranged what you want, look at it."
As he spoke, he took out a scroll of silk pictures from his pocket, opened it and showed it to him. It was the simplified picture of Jixia Academy that Xiang Shaolong requested.
Xiang Shaolong said happily: "I got it so quickly," Xiao Yuetan said: "It took me two hours to finish it."
Pointing to the rightmost city gate in the picture, he said: "This is the north gate on the west side of the city, also called Jimen. The academy is under Jimen, on the side of the water. The transportation is convenient, and it is close to the water and the city. The scenery Pleasant, the Guxue Palace is one of the eight scenic spots in Linzi and a must-visit place for tourists."
Xiang Shaolong looked at the silk picture carefully and sighed: "Jixia Academy is like a small city outside the city. It has all kinds of walls and streets. If you rush in randomly to find a knife, you will be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Xiao Yuetan pointed to the most magnificent group of buildings and said: "This is Jixia Academy, the temple of the academy. All ceremonies are held here. Your Hundred Battle Sword is hung on the south wall of the lobby."
Xiang Shaolong made up his mind and said: "I will go get the knife back tonight."
Xiao Yuetan said in astonishment: "It's not the right time yet. Why don't Shaolong wait until he leaves Qi State to steal the knife?" Xiang Shaolong said decisively: "After I steal the knife tonight, I will leave Linzi tomorrow morning to save Han Chuang and others from having to worry about me. , think left and right.”
Xiao Yuetan said in shock: "The heavy snow has completely paralyzed Linzi's external transportation. How do you go?"
Xiang Shaolong said confidently: "I have a way to escape in the heavy snow, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get here. Don't worry, brother."
Xiao Yuetan frowned and said: "You can leave immediately, but didn't you say you wanted to help Feng Fei, Dong Shuzhen and the others?"
Xiang Shaolong snorted coldly: "That was just my naive wishful thinking. In fact, I am just a pawn of theirs. Now I am so disheartened that I can only plan for myself."
These words are indeed true. At the moment, the only thing he is worried about is Shan Rou, but the internal struggle in Qi State is beyond his control, and staying here will not help.
After making the decision to leave tomorrow, he became extremely relaxed. He blew the spring water all over the place, what do you want to do?
Since Feng Fei, Dong Shuzhen and others regard themselves as fools, he is still interested in meddling in other people's affairs.
Xiao Yuetan said: "I'm going to prepare clothes and dry food for you now, and I'll cover you when you leave the city tomorrow morning."
Suddenly he frowned as if he remembered something again and said: "How are you going to steal the knife tonight? Unless you have a special pass, who will open the city gate for you at this night?"
Xiang Shaolong slapped his forehead and said: "I forgot that the city gate was closed." He couldn't help but feel distressed, remembering that the snow-covered city wall was impossible to climb, but his mind was racing, and he secretly thought that even Mount Ephesus had been climbed. Conquest, just a city wall, what is it? I thought: "Brother, is there any way to get me a dozen iron chisels?"
Xiao Yuetan understood a little and said happily: "Tomorrow I will go to the iron shop in the next street to buy it for you. Do you still need a hammer?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Anyway, it's all about stealing. I'll simply go steal hammers and chisels tonight to avoid being found out later."
Xiao Yuetan agreed: "If you want to leave, it's better to leave sooner rather than later." She reached out and took his hand and said, "After Lu Buwei falls, maybe I will follow you to the outside of the Great Wall. I am tired of the Central Plains."
After Xiao Yuetan left, Xiang Shaolong took out Xuelang and checked the climbing equipment on his body. After everything was in order, he still felt uneasy and put a dagger on each side of his calf. After resting for a while, he dressed and walked to the backyard door. .
The heavy snow was still falling endlessly, and everyone in the courtyard took refuge indoors.
When the courtyard gate was in sight, Xiang Shaolong became alert and hurriedly hid behind a big tree.
The courtyard door opened, and three figures slipped in.
Xiang Shaolong used the lights in the distance to recognize two of them as Feng Fei and Xiao Ping'er. The other one was a tall man, but he couldn't see his appearance.
After Feng Fei reluctantly said a few words to the man, the man said in a deep voice: "Don't be soft-hearted, this Shen Liang is just greedy for your wealth."
Xiang Shaolong was shocked and recognized Han Jie's voice.
Knowing is one thing, being sure is another. Suddenly, he hated Feng Fei a little. With her wisdom, she couldn't see through that Han Jie's handsome appearance was just a wolf's heart.
Feng Fei stopped talking and sighed.
After Han Jie left, the two maids returned to the building.
Xiang Shaolong's heart moved and he chased him out. In the dark alley, the carriage that Han Ji had brought Feng Fei back was just driving out.
Because the alleys are narrow and the roads are slippery, the carriage moves very slowly.
Xiang Shaolong dodged over, clung to the rear axle, silently reached the roof of the car, and lay down.
He didn't know that this would have any effect. It was just a matter of luck. If the carriage was not going in the direction he wanted to go, he could get off at any time.
In such weather, sneaking around is the most convenient thing.
