After Xiang Shaolong and Jing Jun returned to Wu Mansion, they returned to their respective places of residence.
Before breaking up, Jing Jun stopped talking.
Xiang Shaolong knew what he was thinking and said: "Nothing will happen during the day. Don't worry and go to school, but be careful. No place in Handan except Wufu is safe now."
Jing Jun said with great joy: "I am a born hunter and I will not become prey so easily."
Xiang Shaolong also knew that he was cunning and clever, and his ability to escape was unparalleled in the world, so he was not worried.
Back at Hidden Dragon Residence, all the girls were having good dreams.
Although Xiang Shaolong was exhausted and dying, his mind and spirit were greatly affected by the series of events tonight. He could not sleep, so he had an idea, and he performed three major killing techniques next to the couches of his two wives and concubines in the room."
The meditation method on the scroll, cross-legged meditation and luck, the mind and the heart meet, the heart and the spirit are guarded, the spirit and the void are united, all thoughts are extinguished, and unexpectedly enter an unprecedented state of forgetfulness of things and myself. The spirit is separated from the physical body,
When I woke up from the mist, the sky was bright and all the girls had gotten up.
Xiang Shaolong ignored the surprises of the girls and secretly marveled in his heart. He had been sitting for at least an hour, that is, more than two hours, but he still seemed to be sleeping and had no time to cross his legs.
A numb feeling of poor blood flow.
When he was training in the special forces, he had also practiced qigong, mainly using different postures, but he had never had this refreshing feeling, and for a while he didn't care much about Mrs. Ya.
When eating breakfast, the four Chun Ying ladies served us very attentively, with bright and sweet smiles. Therefore, even though it was the harsh winter, we still felt the charm of spring, felt better, and were full of strong fighting spirit.
After kissing the girls, he hurried to find Xiao Yuetan. The latter was still lying with her beauty in her arms. When she saw him coming, she put on a cotton robe and came out to see him.
At this time, Xiao Yuetan's disguise was gone, revealing a refined face, which was very different from yesterday's appearance, with a rather elegant and elegant temperament.
After a few polite words, Xiang Shaolong whispered: "The news that Mr. Tu came to Zhao has been leaked by people who opposed Mr. Lu in your country and has reached the ears of King Zhao and Zhao Mu."
Xiao Yuetan's face changed slightly, showing an expression of surprise and uncertainty.
Xiang Shaolong continued: "But it seems that they still can't grasp the whereabouts of Master Tu. It is inevitable to send people to search."
Xiao Yuetan said: "I will send someone to warn Master Tu. Shaolong, Master Tu will be very grateful to you. This news is too important."
Only then did Xiang Shaolong realize that Xiao Yuetan had not sneaked into Handan alone. Seeing that his tone towards him was different, he felt funny in his heart and said, "Zhao Mu is very guarded against the crown prince." He then forwarded to him what Zhu Ji said last night.
, even Zhao Mu did not hide from him the fact that he drugged Ying Zheng.
Xiao Yuetan's expression really changed this time and she was speechless.
Xiang Shaolong felt last night that he mainly wanted to bring Zhu Ji and her son back to Xianyang, and was not enthusiastic about how the Wu family could evacuate to Qin. Now that he heard the real situation, he realized that with outsiders like them, it was absolutely impossible
Even the best disguise skills will not work to rescue Zhu Ji's mother and son.
As Zhu Ji said, unless the city is breached and invaded, no one can take Ying Zheng away. If he is taken away, he will only end up being poisoned to death.
Xiao Yuetan took a deep breath and said, "Where did Shaolong get this news?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Zhao Mu has one of my people beside him. He finally had a chance to contact Madam Zhu Ji last night. She said it herself."
Xiao Yuetan also had to admire Xiang Shaolong's method. After hesitating for a while, he said: "Shaolong, don't blame me for speaking frankly. It is said that King Zhao has long suspected that the Wu family has secret contacts with our Uncle Lu, and now the matter of Mr. Tu coming to Zhao has been revealed.
Come on, everyone has guessed that we are going to snatch her mother and son back, but you can’t move now, how can you carry out the plan?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled confidently and said, "I won't be able to answer this question until tomorrow. Anyway, we are not yet at the end of the road. Sir, can you please send a message to Mr. Tu first? If you really want to bring the prince, mother and son back to Xianyang, both of us must be sincere.
It takes cooperation.”
Xiao Yuetan knew that Xiang Shaolong had figured out their intentions, so she blushed slightly and said, "Of course - of course, I will tell Mr. Tu."
Then he frowned and said, "Zhao Mu's medicinal skills are famous all over the world. How can we crack it?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, "I will have an answer that satisfies you tomorrow."
Seeing his radiant face and relaxed demeanor, Xiao Yuetan couldn't help but feel a little more confident. She nodded and said: "It seems that I have to go to see Master Tu in person. It will take three or four days at the fastest to come back. I hope Shaolong will be there by then."
Good news."
After Xiang Shaolong had a secret discussion with him, he said goodbye and left. On the way, he met Tao Fang who came to see him. The latter was in high spirits. Xiang Shaolong thought that the Chu spy would not be able to survive for a day, so he told the truth.
Tao Fang just said: "Shaolong's method is really effective. He collapsed half of his body in just one night. He just wants to sleep. I don't think he can last long before he confesses."
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that this was good news. Although this method was inhumane, it was still better than injuring his body. No matter how strong a person was, he would become extremely weak under such circumstances.
Tao Fang said: "The young master left the city to go to the pasture this morning. He will not come back for a few days." He lowered his voice and continued: "He is going to arrange the withdrawal from Zhao State. In ten days, it will be the Farmers and Pastoral Festival. We have a routine
There will be a 'sacrifice to the land' ceremony, which will be presided over by King Zhao himself at the ranch. At that time, we will send some of the family members to a secret place that has been prepared for hiding. We will send them to Qin one by one after the storm has passed.
"
Xiang Shaolong let go of his worries. With Wu Yingyuan's foresight, he believed that things that were safe would not easily go wrong.
Tao Fang led him to the Bird family's mansion and said: "When I met Shaolong in Sanglin Village that day, I knew that you would definitely not be a thing in the pond, but I still didn't expect that you would achieve what you have today."
Speaking of Mulberry Village, Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but think of the beautiful Canniang, and his expression darkened.
Unexpectedly, in this ancient time, there are more things to worry about than before.
Tao Fang knew what he meant and comforted him a few words, but he also knew that empty words would have no effect, so he said: "Master wants to see you."
Wushi met her grandson-in-law alone in the secret room of the meeting and said straight to the point: "Find a time today and let me hold a simple ceremony for you and Fang'er to officially become husband and wife."
Xiang Shaolong hurriedly kowtowed in thanks.
He had developed deep feelings for Wu Tingfang and was delighted to have such a lovely wife.
Wu Shi frowned and said: "I thought that Fang'er would get pregnant soon because you are so close. It's really strange——"
Xiang Shaolong was stunned. Although he had thought about this problem, he didn't care about it.
Wu Shixian didn't care too much and said: "I want to tell you a major event related to the life and death of the Wu family. Even Tao Fang doesn't know about this matter. Only a few people directly related to our Wu family know about it."
Xiang Shaolong looked at him in astonishment.
Wushi Surong said: "Every prince's mansion has secret passages for escape. Everyone knows this, and we are no exception. There are four secret passages to escape from the mansion, and the exits are all near the castle, but
For us, it is just a cover-up."
Xiang Shaolong's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked in disbelief: "Is there a secret passage leading outside the city?"
Wushi said proudly: "That's exactly what happened. It took three generations and more than seventy years to build this secret passage to the east of the city. It is three miles long. I don't know how many lives of the Wu family were sacrificed. It's just the layout of the vent.
After all the painstaking efforts, it was hidden ten feet underground and could not be dug by digging a well. It was built by borrowing an underground river. The entrance is in a secret cave in the back mountain. It can only be reached by a short tunnel through the back house. It is hidden.
pole."
Only now did Xiang Shaolong understand why the Wu family father and son always seemed confident about escaping from Handan.
Wushi said: "So as long as you have the ability to bring Zhu Ji mother and son to Wu Mansion, we will be sure to escape."
Xiang Shaolong was greatly inspired and his confidence doubled. The most difficult problem was suddenly solved.
Wu Shixuan said dejectedly: "This secret passage is very difficult to walk, stuffy and wet. I walked through it once when I was young and never went down again. I also hoped that I would never have to use it to escape. Now that I am old, it is even more difficult."
It’s difficult to do”
Xiang Shaolong said: "I heard from Tao Gong that during the Farmers' and Animal Husbandry Festival, we took the opportunity to send off a group of people. Grandpa, you——"
Wu Shi muttered: "If I leave too, it would be strange if that foolish King Xiaocheng doesn't take action immediately. Anyone can leave, but I can't leave."
Xiang Shaolong's expression changed upon hearing this.
Wu Shi smiled indifferently, with a sense of hopelessness, and said softly: "This world belongs to you young people. I am getting old, and my days are numbered. I no longer have the courage to face the new life in Qin.
I can’t bear the danger and hard work of escaping, so I told Ying Yuan a long time ago and decided to stay here and not leave.”
Xiang Shaolong said in shock: "How can King Zhao let grandpa go?"
Wu Shi laughed and said: "Who wants him to let it go? I won't even leave a piece of my skin for him to find. I have lived a glorious life, and I don't want to be humiliated in front of others after my death."
Xiang Shaolong lost his voice and said, "Grandpa," and for the first time he had deep respect for the fat old man.
Wu Shi said in a free and easy manner: "Don't act like a woman and a coward. I value you very much. Whenever great things are accomplished, there must be sacrifices. King Xiaocheng must pay a heavy price if he wants to break through my Wu family castle. I am really happy. Here we are.
At this moment, I still have a group of subordinates who are willing to sacrifice their lives to accompany you."
After a pause, he said again: "As long as you take Zhu Ji and her son away, King Xiaocheng will immediately attack the city. If no one stops them for a few days, how can you escape far?" Then he said resolutely: "I have made up my mind, there is no need for more.
Word."
Xiang Shaolong knew that the difficulty had changed his mind. In fact, he was seeking kindness and receiving kindness. He said: "How many people know about the secret path? It seems that even Tingfang doesn't know about it."
Wushi said: "This is how we can keep it secret. Don't worry, the people who know this are very reliable. If you see Wu Zhuo these days, ask him to lead you to explore the road. As long as you get outside the city, no one can compare to us who have been farmers and herdsmen for generations."
People who know better how to survive.”
Then he snorted coldly and said: "He is unkind to me and unjust. King Xiaocheng treated me like this. I want him to taste the biggest bitter pill after the battle of Changping. I want to teach him a war horse that the whole country has no use for, and let him sit and watch the Zhao Kingdom."
Decline and collapse inch by inch.”
Seeing the fierce glare of hatred flashing in Wushi's eyes, Xiang Shaolong suddenly understood that it is really the most terrifying thing for a person to have the determination to die.
Xiang Shaolong had been mentally prepared for this. He rode the galloping wind gifted by Ji Cainnu to the madam's house, and met Zhao Ya in the inner hall. Facing the beauty, although he was so close, Xiang Shaolong felt two
The human heart is far away from thousands of rivers and mountains.
After paying special attention, it turned out that Xiao Zhao and the other girls were much silent, their faces were expressionless, and their eyes contained sadness.
Zhao Ya was still smiling like a flower, but Xiang Shaolong saw the reluctance in her smile and the contradiction in her heart.
She glanced at him in surprise and said, "Shaolong, you are very energetic today. Have you made any new progress?" Then she lowered her voice and said, "Have you caught Zhao Mu's sore leg?"
Xiang Shaolong shook his head and said: "It's so easy."
Zhao Ya said: "Is there any progress in terms of Zhu Ji and her son?"
Xiang Shaolong pretended to be distressed, frowned and said: The place where her mother and son live is heavily guarded, and there is no way to break in. Is there any way you can let me see them?"
Zhao Ya lowered her head and gritted her teeth and said, "Let me think about it."
Xiang Shaolong knew that she really had feelings for him, otherwise he wouldn't have shown any strange behavior and acted incompetently.
Zhengrong said: "I thought about it last night and decided to follow Queen Jing's words and assassinate Zhao Mu."
Zhao Yaju was shocked and said: "Shao Long" raised his pretty face and looked at him sadly.
Xiang Shaolong felt happy in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Only by killing Zhao Mu can we have a chance to kidnap Zhu Ji and her son. I now have a group of about five hundred Wu family dead soldiers who are capable of openly attacking Zhao Mu.
As long as my hands and feet are clean, who dares to accuse me of committing murder?"
Zhao Ya looked at him blankly.
Of course Xiang Shaolong knew that she thought she had fallen into the trap set by Queen Jing, and felt extremely happy.
Bitch, since you want me to die, I'm going to trick you into having fun.
"But when is the best time to act?"
Zhao Ya lowered her head and whispered: "Ten days later is the Farming and Animal Husbandry Festival. Zhao Mu will follow Brother Wang to the pasture outside Wushi City to hold a sacrificial ceremony. Alas, Shaolong should think twice."
Xiang Shaolong felt the struggle and pain in her heart, his heart softened, and he said softly: "Don't have so little confidence in me. I will divide the five hundred people into two groups. One group will ambush your brother Wang and Zhao Mu's car on the way.
——”
Zhao Ya lost her voice and said: "What? You even want Brother Wang -"
Xiang Shaolong wanted to force Zhao Ya to completely betray him. Only by using Zhao Ya could he deceive King Zhao and Zhao Mu into falling for him. He didn't even have to pretend, but he said with deep hatred in his eyes: "Brother Wang,
Needless to say, you are shielding Zhao Mu in relation to Mrs. Ni because he is also the chief culprit. Why should you keep such an evil person in the world?"
Zhao Ya looked at him in panic, then lowered her head as if she had made up her mind, biting her lips and said: "Then the other group of people went to attack the Proton Mansion to rob people, but how do you leave the city?"
Xiang Shaolong said confidently: "I will dig a short tunnel in the west of the city leading to the outside of the city. The Wu family has enough manpower and expertise in this area to ensure that no one is aware of it. There will also be troops outside the city.
, we took more than ten ways to escape, and there were pre-set hiding spots along the way. Even if the army came after us, it would be difficult to find us. Moreover, because of the death of your brother Wang and Zhao Mu, Handan City would be in chaos at that time.
If we are together, if Queen Jing is in power, she will not be enthusiastic about pursuing us. This plan is foolproof. I will then agree on a time and place for you and Qian'er to meet."
Zhao Ya lowered her head and said nothing, and the drastic changes on her face were difficult to conceal, and were clearly revealed in front of Xiang Shaolong's eyes.
He pretended to be surprised and said: "What's wrong with you, Ya'er? Is there something wrong with my plan?"
Zhao Ya was shocked and replied, shaking her head and saying: "No problem, it's just that I can't accept it for a while."
Xiang Shaolong deliberately teased her and said, "This is called calculation without intention. As long as the tactics are used properly, I guarantee that the fool and the traitor will only have these ten days to live."
Zhao Ya glanced at him sadly and said nothing.
Xiang Shaolong knew that the medicine was enough, he stretched, stood up and said, "Let's go see Qian'er and Xiaopan."
Zhao Ya lowered her head and whispered: "Shaolong"
Xiang Shaolong felt something bad in his heart, but he was full of hope and asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Ya hesitated for a while, then shook her head and said, "It's all fine. We can leave everything to Qin."
Xiang Shaolong sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that Zhao Ya missed the last chance to save him.
The relationship between the two ends here
From then on, the kindness was pure and righteous, and it was no longer relevant.
After leaving Madam's house, he felt a painful pleasure.
The pain was due to Zhao Ya's change of heart, and the pleasure was due to letting go of the emotional baggage.
Ever since Zhao Ya let Mr. Shao Yuan enter her dormitory without any reason, he knew that she was weak-willed when it came to matters between men and women, which came from her nature. Zhao Ni had the same experience as her, but didn't she follow her example and seduce men everywhere?
Now it is called long-term pain rather than short-term pain.
Thinking of this, I immediately felt an indescribable sense of relief.
This ten-day buffer period is crucial. King Zhao will deliberately give him convenience so that he can calmly deploy the assassination operation, so that he can use this as an excuse to take away the Wu family's huge foundation.
Without a grand excuse, King Zhao would never dare to touch the Wu family, because it would make all the people with property in the country feel insecure and move to other countries one after another. Then the situation would be bad. He can be considered to have good intentions.
Now as long as he knows where the real Ying Zheng is, he can build a plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly.
Maybe he could even persuade Wu Shi Shi Ran to leave.
Thinking of this, I wish I could fly into the Proton Mansion and ask Zhu Ji, who is extremely charming and charming to all men.
The weather is freezing and the north wind is howling.
The streets were sparse with people and cars, and those who could hide at home were unwilling to come out and face the cold.
The sound of hoofbeats sounded, and a group of knights appeared in front. When they got closer, they saw that they were Cheng Xu and more than a dozen imperial guards.
Xiang Shaolong saw his old friend and greeted him cordially.
Cheng Xu was stunned, then forced a smile and said, "Xiang Bingwei, I have something urgent to do. I'll talk to you when I get the chance."
Xiang Shaolong stayed on the spot.
I only think of these two wise sayings: "Human relationships are cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold."
It seems that no one in Handan welcomes him.
The sound of hoofbeats sounded from behind, and a horse passed by him. He quickly handed him a ball of paper. When he opened it, he saw that it was Pubu who asked him to meet, with the time and place written on it.
Xiang Shaolong felt warm in his heart, tore up the paper and went back to his house.
