When I returned to Wu Mansion, I realized that Qin Qing had arrived. She and Ji Yanran were whispering in the living room. Both women looked suspicious. Seeing Xiang Shaolong return, they forced a smile.

Xiang Shaolong sat down and said in surprise: "Why are you looking so nervous?"

Ji Yanran said: "The Crown Prince has officially issued an edict and asked Sister Qing to accompany her to Yongdu to deal with the matters related to the crown ceremony. Sister Qing is worried about this matter. It's not okay to go, and it's impossible not to go."

Xiang Shaolong was shocked and said: "No one knows me better than Ying Zheng. This move hit my vital point."

Qin Qing said quietly with a sad face: "Can't you just ignore me? I'm sorry he doesn't have the courage to vent his anger on me yet. It depends on the situation in the future. I will meet you outside the Great Wall."

Xiang Shaolong regained his composure, shook his head resolutely and said: "Don't leave, we must go together, otherwise just the feeling of worry will be enough to torture me half to death."

Hearing Xiang Shaolong's affectionate words, Qin Qing was so moved that her beautiful eyes turned red.

Ji Yanran: "Yanran can pretend to be Sister Qing's personal maid, and she can handle it if something unexpected happens."

Xiang Shaolong was stunned for a long time before reacting: "This is indeed a feasible method, and it is beyond the imagination of others. If necessary, I can also make Jing Jun come to Yongdu to meet you. When it comes to the art of flying over eaves and walking over walls, who knows?

Comparable to him?"

Qin Qing said in surprise: "I also want to learn Xiang Lang's method of climbing over walls. Are you willing to teach me?"

Xiang Shaolong and Ji Yanran looked at each other in shock. What would happen if a gentle and beautiful girl like Qin Qing imitated the elite soldiers and climbed up and down?

In the evening, Xiao Yuetan did not return until Shi Shiran came back.

Everyone hurriedly gathered in the secret room to discuss.

Xiao Yuetan said: "If there hadn't been Tu Gong silently supervising Thief Lu, we might have reached the underworld and still be confused."

Everyone's expression changed at the same time and they asked why.

Xiao Yuetan said: "Lu Buwei is increasingly short of available people, so he has to reuse the old people who work for the public. This also allows the public to clearly grasp the plot of the Lu thief."

Ji Yanran said: "Lv Buwei has been very low-key recently and looks like he is unable to turn the tide. It turns out he is just pretending."

Jing Jun cursed fiercely: "We will cut him into pieces this time."

Xiao Yuetan smiled and said: "We have all ignored that Lu Buwei's last killer move was the help of the six eastern countries; now the monarchs and ministers of the six countries do not regard Yingzheng as a scourge. As long as they can bring down Yingzheng, they are willing to do anything. It is best

If Miao Du ascends the throne, it will be more in line with their wishes."

Xiang Shaolong's expression changed: "Does he dare to open the border and allow the coalition forces to enter?"

Xiao Yuetan smiled and said: "It's no use if he has such courage. The Qin army is loyal and patriotic, so how can they be willing to obey it? Moreover, the three Jin, Chu, and Yan kingdoms were seriously injured by Shaolong's killing. Even if they open the door, they still don't have the courage to do so."

However, the six countries sent four groups of dead soldiers respectively. Each of them was a master who could hold back a hundred people, ready to carry out carefully planned assassination operations at the appropriate time. The four goals set were to win the government.

Shaolong, Changpingjun and Li Si."

It is no wonder that Ying Zheng and Xiang Shaolong have become the targets of the Six Nations.

Changping Jun and Li Si were both civil and military ministers who accompanied Ying Zheng. If something unexpected happened, the civil and military officials would be left without anyone to lead them, giving Lu Buwei an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that the person he wanted to kill most was Wang Jian, but maybe Lu Buwei still didn't know that Wang Jian had sneaked back to Xianyang.

The State of Qin is at a critical moment of great change. As long as Xiaopan ascends the throne, both Lü and Miao parties will die without a burial place.

Tao Fang asked in a deep voice: "Are these people in Xianyang now?"

Xiao Yuetan said: "In order to conceal their whereabouts, they are currently hiding in the dense forest on the nearby mountain. The food and drinks are provided by Tu Gong. You should understand how beneficial this is to us."

Ji Yanran asked: "Does Manager Tu know the details of their actions?"

Xiao Yuetan said: "The commander of the guards, Xu Shang, is responsible for this matter. As long as he can capture this person alive, Xiao will have his own means to teach him to confess obediently."

Teng Yi said: "As long as Xu Shang is willing to walk out of the city gate, we will be sure to capture him alive and hand him over to you to force him to confess.

But if he remains in need, we can't do anything to him unless we have a direct conflict with him."

Xu Shang himself was a first-class swordsman. He lived in Zhongfu's house and had a large number of personal guards in and out. He was within the sphere of influence of his capital guard. There might still be a chance to kill him, but it would be difficult to capture him alive.

Better than ever.

Xiao Yuetan took out a scroll from his pocket, spread it out on several sides, and said: "This is the entire map of Zhongfu's Mansion, including all the defense facilities and secret rooms. However, if we only use wisdom instead of force, not all will be captured alive."

Xu Shang even made it possible to assassinate Lu Buwei."

After a pause, he added: "Tugong has prepared a strong anesthetic. As long as it is poured into several wells in Zhongfu's house, anyone who drinks it will not be able to wake up within three days."

Jing Jun said happily: "The result is wonderful."

Xiang Shaolong asked: "Since Tu Lao participated in the secret discussion with Lu Buwei, did he find out his overall plan?"

Xiao Yuetan sneered and said: "Even if Tu Gong didn't hear about it, how could Thieves Lu's movements be hidden from Gong Tu? Thieves Lu's plan must be two-pronged. When the gang raises an issue in Yongdu, he will raise troops in Xianyang.

Kill those who oppose him."

After a pause, he continued: "The key is whether Ying Zheng can be killed. As long as Ying Zheng dies, he can seek Miao's name and hold the military power of Qin in his hands."

Tao Fang frowned and said, "Assuming that Miao Du fails, wouldn't Thief Lu's dream come true? He would also be notorious for being a rebel."

Xiao Yuetan said: "So Thief Lu specially ordered Guan Zhongxie to sneak to Yongdu, cooperate with the masters of the six countries, and preside over the assassination operation. With this person's high archery skills, this is not impossible. In the final analysis, Yongdu is not the winner.

The place of politics."

Everyone's hearts trembled. If they didn't get rid of this person first, it would be the most terrifying threat.

Xiang Shaolong sighed: "Unfortunately, we got it right. Is there any way to know his whereabouts?"

Xiao Yuetan shook his head and said: "This can be said to be the old thief's last powerful chess piece, so I'm afraid no one knows his whereabouts except him. The success or failure of Lu thief depends entirely on whether he can assassinate Ying Zheng, and

But he has no chance of success."

Ji Yanran said: "Wouldn't it be more dangerous for Wu Guo?"

Wu Guo's face turned pale, but as long as he thought about Guan Zhongxie's unparalleled archery skills, no one would blame him for being timid.

Xiao Yuetan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You call it concern and chaos. In fact, Guan Zhongxie is not without traces. First of all, the first person he wants to assassinate must be Ying Zheng, or the four assassinations will be carried out at the same time. Otherwise, he will alert the snake.

If you don't, the assassination operation will not work well."

Wu Guo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Yanran said: "Then the assassination operation should be concentrated in Yongdu. Only then can the entire responsibility be placed on Miao Du."

Then he smiled and said: "Those who are good at fighting will fight with wits but not with strength. The biggest problem between Lu and Miao is that they don't trust each other and plot against each other. According to Yanran's guess, Lu Buwei decided to hide the assassination from Miao Du, and the guards around the prince

, there should be a traitor of Thief Lu, as long as we leak the information to Miao Du, maybe it will work wonders."

Xiang Shaolong would never worry about Xiaopan's fate, otherwise there would be no Qin Shihuang in history, nor would he worry about Changping Lord and Li Si. The reason is the same.

Teng Yi said at this time: "The most reliable thing is to kill Guan Zhongxie first, and we must also take into account our own safety, because if anything happens to Xiaojun and I, Thief Lu can openly take over the cavalry army."

.”

Guan Zhongxie is a man of both wisdom and bravery. With him secretly presiding over the assassin coalition of the Six Nations, who dares to take it lightly?

Xiao Yuetan suddenly said: "Wu Guo dresses up as a young dragon, and the young dragon can dress up as a young dragon. This way, it will be more foolproof."

Everyone exclaimed in unison.

Tao Fang doubted: "Can we make it in time?"

Xiao Yuetan smiled happily and said: "As early as when making the mask, Xiao already had this idea in his mind, so he made the two masks at the same time. Otherwise, how could it take so many days of work?"

Everyone was amazed and admired Xiao Yuetan's wisdom.

Then we discussed the details of the operation, decided to make tracing Guan Zhongxie's whereabouts a top priority, and made various contingency plans.

Xiang Shaolong had a good sleep that night and deliberately appeared in the morning the next morning so that Lu Buwei and others could see his sick face and hear his hoarse voice.

The discussion that day focused on the upcoming crowning ceremony.

Lu Buwei offered to stay in Xianyang, but Xiaopan pretended to be unable to resist him and reluctantly accepted.

After the morning court, Xiaopan discussed with Xiang Shaolong, Changping Jun, Changwen Jun and Li Si in the room.

Changping Jun and Li Si made reports one after another, both of which were about the procedures for going to Yongdu and Guanli.

After listening to this, Xiaopan said: "All the ministers know that this is the last chance for Lu and Miao's two parties to overthrow the widow. What countermeasures do the ministers have in this regard?"

Chang Wenjun said: "I have already planned this matter. First of all, the fleet going to Yongdu this time is not only the same in style, but also all hangs the royal flag, making it difficult for the enemy to recognize which one is the prince's seat. Then

Equipped with small and light warships to clear the way, and elite troops stationed at strategic points along the coast, it can ensure the safety of the journey."

Xiaopan nodded in approval, and then said: "But the most dangerous thing is that after arriving in Yongdu, Thief Miao has been waiting for this moment for many years. You must not be careless."

Lord Changping said: "Gu Xi will lead 10,000 elite troops to Yongdu first and take over the entire pass. The ministers do not believe that Miao Du dares to disobey orders at this time."

Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "When did General An come back?"

Xiaopan coughed dryly and said, "Since the general is ill at home, we didn't dare to disturb him, so we didn't tell the general about this."

Li Si and the other three people all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Xiang Shaolong said angrily: "The prince has already made up his mind, but I still need to make plans, otherwise I will stay in Xianyang to recuperate."

Li Si and the other three lowered their heads even lower.

Xiaopan said calmly: "General, don't get me wrong. Now I just want to ask the general for advice."

Xiang Shaolong said flatly: "If I hadn't informed my subordinates of all the arrangements and available troops earlier, this battle would have been defeated."

The four people in Xiaopan were stunned at the same time.
