After breakfast, Xiang Shaolong went to see Wu Shi and his son, but could not see Wu Zhuo and Tao Fang.
He remembered the suspicious Chu people who had contact with Zhao Mu, and knew that the two of them had gone there because of this incident.
After he reported what he had seen about Zhu Ji last night, both the Wu family and his son began to ponder.
Wu Yingyuan frowned and said: "This woman is very powerful. No man can escape her temptation. But why is Guo Kai so bold? The maidservant there should be Zhao Mu. How can he be a guest on the bed like this?
How can you hide it from Zhao Mu?"
Wushi said: "Zhao Mu left many things to Guo Kai. The people there may have been arranged by Guo Kai, so they can be so unscrupulous and guard and steal."
Turning to Xiang Shaolong, he said: "Your two new recruits are rare talents. Win them over well. Wealthy women can be whatever they want."
Xiang Shaolong replied solemnly: "I understand." He secretly thought that if it was purely about interests, how could we rely on each other for a long time?
Wu Yingyuan said: "Shaolong seems to be able to easily steal the mother and son out now. The only problem is how to leave Handan and how to escape the pursuit of the pursuers along the way?" He paused and said doubtfully: "Is this too easy?"
Xiang Shaolong was only worried about the other side and said: "Our Wu family has such a large family, with no less than a thousand members, how can we escape from the Zhao Kingdom?"
Wu Yingyuan smiled and said: "I arranged this two years ago. The Wu family's business is all over the world, so people have been assigned to manage businesses and ranches elsewhere. Recently, they have even made excuses to open new ranches.
Even Tingwei was sent out to prevent him from leaking the news while he was living and drinking."
Xiang Shaolong suddenly realized, no wonder he couldn't see Wu Tingwei, and said: "Since King Zhao knows about the relationship between father-in-law and Lu Buwei, and now we are constantly transferring family members away from Handan, how can he not be suspicious?"
Wu Yingyuan said: "They have always stopped at suspicion and have never found any real evidence. Moreover, both the Guo family and us have contacts with dignitaries from various countries, and they also conduct secret diplomacy for King Zhao from time to time. If Zhao Mu hadn't fanned the flames, and Lu Buwei
What does it mean to have friendship?——
Xiang Shaolong didn't understand even more and said: "Why does Zhao Mu want to go to my Wu family and have fun?"
Wushi slapped the table with his palm and said angrily: "It's not like Guo Zong is playing tricks on this. I don't know where I found out that there are ancestors of the Qin people in our genealogy. I also found out that Wushi is a common surname in the Qin people's border area. Since
King Zhao is increasingly suspicious of us, Zhao Mu is just following King Zhao’s wishes and adding insult to injury.”
Only now did Xiang Shaolong understand the whole story.
Wu Yingyuan returned to the previous topic and said: "Since Guo Kai secretly hooked up with Zhu Ji, how can he find a way to use this matter to damage the relationship between Guo Kai and Zhao Mu. If Guo Kai didn't give Zhao Mu bad ideas,
Zhao Mu will be much easier to deal with."
An unfathomable smile escaped from the corner of Wushi's mouth, and she said, "We'll talk about this later." He turned to Xiang Shaolong and said, "You'd better come up with a more specific plan, so that you can confirm Zhu Ji's decision when you see her tonight."
With confidence, it will be easier to cooperate in the future.”
At this time, the servant came to report that there was a guest looking for Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong was wondering, who came to find him?
At this time, Xiang Shaolong's status in the Wu family was even better than before. He was as if he was the Wu family, the most important person outside Wu Ying Yuan, and he was receiving guests in the main hall of the main house.
When he came out of the hall, Liu Chao and Pu Bu, former generals of Lord Shao Yuan, came. Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed and stepped forward, helped the two men up, and said with surprise: "I have been looking forward to your coming every day, and finally
I’ve been looking forward to it.”
Seeing that Xiang Shaolong valued them so much, the two of them burst into tears of gratitude.
Xiang Shaolong asked about Daliang.
It turned out that Xiang Shaolongmei escaped from Xinling Lord's Mansion, and Lord Xinling was furious. He also realized that "Secret Records of Lu Gong" had been stolen by someone except the first chapter. He was so angry that he almost committed suicide. He even suspected that
My sister, Mrs. Pingyuan, revealed the news to Xiang Shaolong and became cold towards her mother and son.
As a result, Lord Shaoyuan became ill-tempered and beat and scolded his generals all day long. Pu Bu and others took the opportunity to resign.
Without the support of Lord Xinling, Lord Shaoyuan could not support the situation of more than 200 generals, so he simply dismissed them. So Pubu and others returned to Handan with more than 40 people.
They were all local gangsters here. When they found out that Xiang Shaolong was safe and sound, they immediately came to see him.
Xiang Shaolong had an idea and asked Wu Yingyuan for a huge amount of copper coins. He handed them to the two of them and said, "You guys find a place to stay, but remember not to reveal your relationship with me. Even if you enjoy yourself as much as you want, you should be careful."
When I need you to do something, I will come to you."
Pu Bu and the others knew that he was engaged in a life-and-death struggle with Zhao Mu, and they understood what he said. They also saw that his actions were ten times more generous than Shao Yuan's, but his character was hundreds of times better, so they decided not to follow him wholeheartedly.
Liu Chao said: "We are all very happy people in Handan, and now we have officially left Pingyuan Mansion. Why don't we pretend to be members of Zhao Mun's traitorous party, so that we can act as the prince's eyes and ears."
Xiang Shaolong thought to himself that this was indeed a good idea. Who would have thought that the general of the Pingyuan Mansion who had always been his enemy would be one of his people. After discussing with them who they wanted to seek refuge with, and then studying the method of contact, the two of them finally
He said goodbye happily and left.
Xiang Shaolong felt relaxed and went to look for Teng Yi. He saw that he was training the disciples of the Wu family. He remembered the concept of special forces and said to him: "See if my proposal is feasible. Among these two thousand disciples, select
About a hundred of the most elite, named the 'Elite Group', were taken to the farm and isolated to practice and learn various skills. If everyone could learn half of the skills of you and Jing Jun, then they would have to force their way through
It is not impossible to enter the Proton Mansion to save people."
Teng Yi first frowned upon hearing this, thinking what great things could be accomplished by a hundred people. When Xiang Shaolong revealed his previous rigorous training in the special forces and the method of phasing out the weak, this experienced warrior also wanted to
He said with a five-body expression: "This is the first time I have heard of this training method. Shaolong, you are truly an unparalleled military genius. War has become an art in your hands."
Xiang Shaolong secretly laughed in his heart, if swords and arrows were turned into guns and cannons, then this ancient special force might be able to conquer the six kingdoms and unify the world. Then there would be no need to fear a mere Zhao Mu.
The two of them studied the training methods and equipment in detail before Xiang Shaolong led Jing Jun and the ten bodyguards to Mrs. Ya's house.
While riding on the road, Xiang Shaolong thought of the missing beautiful Canniang and wanted to immediately turn around and walk to Sanglin Village to see what happened.
Then I thought of Ji Yanran who was far away in Daliang. I was filled with worries for a moment and couldn't help myself, so I couldn't relieve my frown.
Jing Jun, who was riding alongside him, glanced around at the people on the street and suddenly said with emotion: "Xiaojun is very grateful to Brother Xiang and Brother Teng for bringing me to such an exciting and fun place without you."
, I don’t know how to live a good life?”
Xiang Shaolong put aside his worries and said with a smile: "But it may also cause you to lose your life."
Jing Jun smiled and said calmly: "Then I have to accept my fate. It is precisely because of the danger of losing my life at any time that it is particularly interesting to play with beautiful women. It feels like when I was five years old, I helped the first time.
What about dad going tiger hunting?"
Xiang Shaolong lost his voice and said: "A five-year-old child can't walk safely, how can you help?"
Jing Jun also laughed and said, "I forgot about it now. I only remember the terrifying cry when the tiger fell into the trap. It scared me so much that I peed into my crotch."
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but laugh, his frown slightly relieved.
The sound of hooves sounded from behind.
Everyone turned their heads and looked back when they heard the sound.
A horse was riding from far away. The rider was wearing a cloak and covering his head. For a moment, he couldn't see his face clearly. Only when he got closer did he recognize who it was.
Jing Jun's eyes immediately lit up.
Xiang Shaolong was also slightly shocked and called out: "Where are you going, Miss?"
Zhao Zhi slowed down his horse and came to the other side of Xiang Shaolong. He turned away and looked at Xiang Shaolong coldly and said, "Where are the soldiers going?"
Jing Jun winked at her and said, "Miss Zhi hasn't answered Brother Xiang's words yet?"
When Zhao Zhi saw Jing Jun, he felt angry and felt that he was more annoying than anyone else. He said angrily: "My lord is talking, there is no room for you to interrupt."
Xiang Shaolong laughed and said, "Young lady is wrong, Xiaojun is my good brother, and his words are mine."
Jing Jun didn't expect Xiang Shaolong to praise him so highly. He immediately became proud, puffed up his chest, deliberately sighed with regret and said: "I thought Miss Zhi came to see me, Jing Jun."
Zhao Zhi turned pale with anger and said, "Who is looking for you?"
Somehow, Jing Jun's behavior always made her displeased and made her angry.
Jing Jun chuckled and said, "Then who are you looking for?"
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but smile, this boy was quite good at teasing women.
Zhao Zhi knew that she had fallen into Jing Jun's trap. If she answered that she was looking for Xiang Shaolong, because of what Jing Jun's tone had hinted before, it would mean that she was in love with Xiang Shaolong. If she answered no
, naturally the person I was looking for was Jing Jun.
In fact, Zhao Zhi also couldn't figure out the purpose of coming to Xiang Shaolong.
Last night, Xiang Shaolong's victory over Yan Ping, a master-level figure with a high status in martial arts in Handan, shocked everyone present.
Zhao Ba, who has always had a high self-esteem, also felt timid, especially now that the military was backing Xiang Shaolong. How dare Zhao Ba get involved in the struggle between the two major forces, the government and the army. He immediately warned his disciples after the banquet, especially
Regarding Zhao Zhi, she is not allowed to mess with Xiang Shaolong.
However, Zhao Zhi was arrogant and arrogant. After returning home, the more he thought about it, the less angry he became. When he got up, he unconsciously rode his horse to Wu Mansion. On the way, he met Xiang Shaolong and others, so he chased after them.
At this moment, I couldn't help but be speechless and my pretty face turned red.
Xiang Shaolong didn't know how close her relationship with Lian Jin was, so he sighed: "At that time, in that decisive battle where we were forced to decide life and death, either Lian Jin died or I, Xiang Shaolong, died, and Lian Jin and Zhao
Mu Shi was the first to engage in intrigues and tricks, but I competed with him openly and honestly, who can blame me?"
Zhao Zhiwei was stunned and lowered his pretty face.
The fact that Lian Jin and Zhao Mu used aphrodisiacs to consume Xiang Shaolong's physical strength had long been spread among the dignitaries in the court. Zhao Zhi also heard about it, but forced himself to ignore it. But somehow, now that Xiang Shaolong described it lightly,
She was convinced, or maybe it was because Xiang Shaolong showed a fearless and aboveboard attitude last night. Although her love for Lian Jin was strong, it was purely due to the superficial attraction between the opposite sex and she was attracted by Lian Jin.
Taking advantage of her feelings as a young girl, he took advantage of the situation and captured her heart.
Although this feeling of first love was unforgettable for her, it was not unforgettable. When Lian Jin's perfect image was destroyed, this feeling of love also dissipated with the wind. For a while, her mind went blank, and she didn't know how to express her feelings.
Xiang Shaolong was fully aware of her transformation, smiled slightly and said: "Girl, can you let Jing Jun take you home?"
Zhao Zhi was startled and said, "I don't need anyone to escort him." He patted his horse and galloped into the side street on the left.
Xiang Shaolong winked at Jing Jun. Jing Jun was overjoyed and chased after him. He ignored passers-by's sideways glances and shouted: "Girl, wait for me."
Xiang Shaolong felt happy.
Zhao Zhi is a really good girl, and she matches Jing Jun very well regardless of age and appearance. The most important thing is that he can tell that Jing Jun falls in love with her at first sight, but it seems that if he wants to catch her, this guy will have to work hard.
A lot of effort.
Suddenly, Xiang Shaolong realized that he had changed a lot.
In the past, he was always willing to treat women as much as possible, but now whether he has too many beauties or suffered the tragic death of his beloved one after another, he has become much less interested in women and is a little reluctant to get involved.
The mood of love.
After everyone is born, they have to face the death of those around them, and finally end with their own death.
Over the past year, he has experienced the heart-wrenching pain of separation and death.
He remembered what happened with Zhu Ji last night. Although he was full of lust at that time, it had nothing to do with love. It was purely based on the instinctive impulse of opposite sex attraction.
But it's so hard to restrain.
You have to be careful when you see her tonight, otherwise if you have a sexual relationship with her, things will be more complicated.
I just hope she won't tease him. This woman really knows how to seduce men.
With Madam's Mansion in sight, Xiang Shaolong sighed and clapped his horse away.
The guards hurriedly rode their horses to follow, and the eleven horses were swept into Zhao Ya's wife's house like a whirlwind.
Madam Ya went to the palace, and there were only Zhao Qian and Gongzi Pan in Madam's house.
Zhao Pan suddenly matured a lot. He no longer sneaked away to play all day long, or teased the maids, or formed gangs to cause trouble as before.
Zhao Qian felt pity for his tragic experience and accompanied him to read and read, while Zhao Pan also changed his temper and studied hard in front of this beautiful princess cousin.
Xiang Shaolong felt sad and pained when he saw this, so he took Zhao Pan to the garden, taught him the swordsmanship of Mozi carefully, and had his men fight with him.
While Zhao Pan was practicing martial arts with passion, Xiang Shaolong chatted with Zhao Qian who was watching from the side and said, "I never expected that this child would become so understanding of sex."
Zhao Qian's eyes turned red and she said: "The person he loves most is Aunt Ni. Now he is filled with hatred. He not only hates Zhao Mu, but also hates his father. So he must follow your master as an example and learn to be both wise and brave."
To avenge Aunt Ni."
Xiang Shaolong felt a chill in his heart when he saw the sinister concentration and perseverance on the young master's face that was in no way commensurate with his age.
He had an intuition that Zhao Pan would definitely be an extraordinary person in the future, but it was still difficult to guess what he could do for the time being.
Zhao Qian whispered: "He is willing to accept me, on the one hand, because I am yours, and on the other hand, because he and I both hate my father and Zhao Mu."
Xiang Shaolong felt uncomfortable in his heart and said: "Don't your father respect Mrs. Ni the most? Why do you sit back and watch Zhao Mu commit the crime? At least this matter should be investigated thoroughly, not to mention that it has aroused the dissatisfaction of the military, so that
The State of Zhao is facing its biggest crisis since the Battle of Changping."
Zhao Qian sighed quietly: "No one can understand my father. He was not like this before. But since the Changping War, his whole person has changed. He is indecisive, half-hearted in everything, and even a little shy."
Over the ministers, especially the military generals, Zhao Mu was allowed to monopolize power and cover the sky with one hand. In the case of Lady Ni, he should have strictly ordered the imperial guards to investigate thoroughly, but after Zhao Mu intervened, he used three tricks and two tricks.
Big things turned into small things, small things turned into nothing, and everyone in the palace became indifferent to him."
From Zhao Qian's words, Xiang Shaolong saw another impact of the Changping War on Zhao.
The defeat of this battle was mainly due to the fact that King Xiaocheng fell into the Qin people's childish alienation plan and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. It can also be said to be a power conflict between the new monarch and the veteran general in power.
After this setback, which was the most damaging to the vitality of the Zhao Kingdom in its history, King Xiaocheng lost confidence and became an escapist from reality, even afraid of facing the eyes of his ministers.
So Zhao Mu took advantage of the situation and met his needs both spiritually and physically.
King Zhao became a homosexual, which may have been a destructive act of self-destruction and masochism. Of course, it may also be an innate physiological pursuit. The real reason may be difficult for King Xiaocheng himself to figure out.
Zhao Qian said sadly: "I still miss the days when I escaped from Daliang. I hope you can hug me and love me every night. Shaolong, when will we leave this ugly place and find a deserted wilderness to let Qian
My son makes fire and food for you, and you hunt to make ends meet?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly in his heart, if he stayed in Mei Canniang's valley, he might be able to end his life in the mountains and forests in this way, but now he was riding a tiger and he couldn't stop.
Even if you go to the Qin State, you may face a more complicated power struggle. In this ancient Warring States era, it seems that there is no Peach Blossom Garden-like paradise. Otherwise, Mei Canniang would not have been nearly raped by the touban. Teng Yi
Nor will his wife die and his son perish.
He sighed and told Zhao Qian the story of the Peach Blossom Spring. When the beautiful third princess was so drunk that her soul flew to the paradise that humans longed for, Zhao Ya came back with a solemn expression.
Xiang Shaolong and her retreated into a quiet room to discuss.
Zhao Ya sighed: "Li Mu is an unparalleled warrior on the battlefield, but he is too reckless in his tactics and underestimates Zhao Mu's influence on Brother Wang."
Xiang Shaolong felt bad and asked, "What happened?"
Zhao Ya did not answer him directly, but said distressedly: "They don't understand that since the battle of Changping, Brother Wang has been most afraid of others saying he made mistakes. Now Li Mu has made it clear that he wants to force Brother Wang to admit his negligence and cover-up in Sister Ni's case.
How can he accept the responsibility of evil?"
Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "What happened?"
Zhao Ya looked at him dejectedly and said: "After the banquet last night, Zhao Mu immediately went to the palace to find Brother Wang. No one knows what he said. It seems that he was accusing the military of using the topic to shake Brother Wang's throne; for you
Of course, there won’t be anything nice to say.”
Only then did Xiang Shaolong understand what it means to have a foolish king harm the country. When power is concentrated in the hands of one person, that person becomes the key to success or failure. Although the modern democratic system is full of shortcomings, it is better than having a foolish king control everyone's life and death.
A hundred thousand times better.
Zhao Ya continued: "Brother Wang summoned me this morning and asked about you in detail. He also forced me to reveal my true relationship with you. I almost couldn't resist."
Xiang Shaolong said stunnedly: "How do you answer him?"
Zhao Ya looked unnatural and said: "Of course he won't tell the truth, but it seems that he still believes that I am not obsessed with you, or it is because my previous reputation was too bad." After saying this, he lowered his pretty face, looking full of worry.
Xiang Shaolong pinched her chin, raised her pink face, and said: "Now that I am involved in both the military and Wu family systems, your brother Wang does not dare to act rashly against me."
Zhao Ya said sadly: "I'm worried to death. Don't overestimate the power of the military and the Wu family. If Brother Wang is desperate and executes you on the spot, then rice will be ready for cooking, and no one will really do it."
I have a head-on conflict with Brother Wang because of you."
Anger welled up in Xiang Shaolong's heart and he sneered: "If you want to kill me, Xiang Shaolong, I'm afraid King Xiaocheng will have to send out a large army. I will never surrender."
Zhao Ya said angrily: "Sometimes you seem to be a fool, but Brother Wang's personal guard regiment has 20,000 people, and the city guards have 30,000 soldiers. The commander, Le Cheng, is Zhao Mu's man.
If something happens to you, who can save you? If something happens to you, how will you survive?" At the end of the sentence, tears welled up in her eyes, which showed how frightened and frightened she was, but she seemed to have other feelings.
Xiang Shaolong held her in his arms heartbrokenly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, someone once said that I am a new saint with many disasters, so I will never die."
Zhao Ya was stunned and said: "Who said that? What is a new saint?"
After a pause, he said as if he was not interested: "Now I have lost all control and my heart is so confused. Shaolong, please teach me what to do."
Xiang Shaolong pondered for a while and then said: "There is no good choice. The only way to survive is to escape from Handan. But before I leave, I must break Zhao Mu into thousands of pieces to get rid of the hatred in my heart."
Zhao Ya stroked his cheek lovingly and said, "You have to promise to take Ya'er away."
Xiang Shaolong said affirmatively: "Of course, not only will we take you away, Xiaopan and Qian'er will also go with us."
Zhao Ya said softly: "Should we go to Qin? The people of Qin are more profound and terrifying than the people of any other country."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Don't forget that I am the new saint." He stood up and said: "I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to accompany you until I get to Qin State. King Xiaocheng's reaction was beyond my expectation. I want to discuss it with Li Mu immediately and try to ease it.
Your brother Wang’s emotions.”
Zhao Ya walked with him out and said: "I will be responsible for investigating the situation in the palace. Fortunately, Queen Jing is on your side and speaking. Brother Wang is half-hearted and will not dare to use thunderbolt methods to deal with you in the short term."
After speaking, she suddenly lowered her pretty face, and her beautiful eyes flashed across a complex and difficult-to-understand expression.
Of course Xiang Shaolong couldn't see it, but he was troubled.
Zou Yan may really believe that he is some kind of new saint, but he knows that there is no such thing.
If there is a new saint, it should be Ying Zheng.
But why should Ying Zheng be the new saint to unify the world?
Xiang Shaolong endlessly missed the cutting-edge weapons he used to use in the 21st century.
In this era, the most powerful swordsman could not handle more than a hundred people, let alone thousands of well-trained soldiers.
Therefore, only by starting with strategy and tactics can we have a chance to escape with our lives.
Suddenly, he felt reluctant to let go of Handan.
It’s finally time to leave this great ancient city.
