Those who came to greet him were his "old friend" doctor Guo Kai, and Wu Zhuo, whose pseudonym was "Di Yin".
After some etiquette and formal talk, everyone drove thousands of war horses and proudly entered the ancient city, which represented the center of Zhao people's power.
Guo Kai and Xiang Shaolong rode side by side and said with a smile: "The king appreciates that your husband is in Chu and cares about his homeland. I will hold a banquet in the palace tonight to entertain you."
Xiang Shaolong was looking at the scenery in the city with great emotion. When he heard the words, he lowered his voice to a hoarse voice and slowed down the rhythm: "The king can understand the mood of the villain, which really touches the villain. Alas, people who have lost their country
"It's like duckweed without roots, and the suffering therein is really not enough for outsiders to understand."
Guo Kai turned slightly and said: "I heard from Mr. Di of your mansion that Mr. Dong is ready to come back and show off his talents, but I don't know if the situation is clear yet?"
Xiang Shaolong's heart moved, and he pretended to be stupid and sincere and said: "I only know how to raise horses and know nothing else. I hope Doctor Guo can give me more advice. I will never forget the doctor's grace."
The strategy for this trip is to pretend to be stupid and ignorant in order to deal with a cunning person like Guo Kai.
Guo Kai laughed and then said in a low voice: "I don't know why, but Guo was very happy when he saw Mr. Guo. He really didn't take the advice seriously. Guo will do his best to help Mr. realize his ideal."
Xiang Shaolong pretended to shed tears of gratitude and said, "It will make me feel more at ease if a doctor takes care of me like this. I wonder what I should pay attention to?"
Guo Kai said in an extremely sincere tone: "Your Majesty, I have a subordinate to take care of you. But there are two people in Handan. You must be careful, otherwise your wish will not come true, and there may be unforeseen disasters.
The same fate."
Xiang Shaolong pretended to be horrified and said in shock: I have no grudges against anyone, why would someone want to harm me?"
But it was funny in my heart.
Guo Kaixian thought that he was a reckless man with simple thoughts, so he used this direct method to win over himself, so that he could be devoted to him and be used by him.
From this we can also see that King Zhao was preparing to replace Wushi with him, which made Guo Kai think that he was worthy of being won over.
Guo Kai's pair of flickering thieves' eyes first scanned the four directions. When he saw Zhao Bing opening the way in front and Wu Zhuo and others behind him, they were all separated by a "safe" distance, and then he lowered his voice and said: "The first person you need to be careful about is
Guo Zong, this person will not tolerate the appearance of another Wushi."
Xiang Shaolong nodded to express his understanding.
Guo Kai's words are not unreasonable. It is said that one mountain cannot hide two tigers. However, if his "Dong Kuang" becomes as rich and powerful as the Wushi, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it in just a few generations. So Guo Kai
Kai is still making false threats.
Guo Kai continued mysteriously: "The other person you need to be careful about is Julu Hou Zhao Mu."
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but lost his voice: "What?"
In an instant, he understood that Guo Kai was not willing to succumb to Zhao Mu, and was still looking for ways to bring him down. However, it was a bit imprudent for Guo Kai to reveal his inner feelings to an outsider like him, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
At this time, they had just arrived at the hotel used to entertain them, and it turned out to be the hostage house where Zhu Ji and the fake Ying Zheng were imprisoned that day.
Guo Kai smiled slightly, did not say any more, and accompanied him into the house.
Guo Kai said some nice words again, and after receiving the irresistible gift of a thousand horses, he returned to the palace to answer his orders.
Everyone came to the inner hall to listen to Wu Zhuo's report.
Wu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We are indeed a little lucky. The Chu people indeed sent an envoy. Fortunately, they intercepted it and got a lot of precious information."
Teng Yi said clearly: "Brother, thank you for your hard work."
Among the five sworn brothers, Wu Zhuo was the eldest, so he became the eldest brother. Then came Teng Yi and Xiang Shaolong, and then the younger brothers Wang Jian and Jing Jun.
Wu Zhuo nodded and said: "It was indeed very hard. Although we set up traps and ambushes when intercepting the Chu envoy, we still lost five brothers and injured more than ten people, but this is inevitable."
Xiang Shaolong could imagine the danger and intensity of the situation at that time, and said, "Can you figure out why they came to Handan?"
Wu Zhuo said: "The fourth brother's fatigue interrogation worked. The Chu envoy named Bai Dingnian couldn't stand it for three days before he collapsed and revealed the truth. It turned out that this matter involved Lord Dongzhou."
Everyone was moved.
The "feudal empire" founded by King Wu and established by Duke Zhou seven hundred years ago can be described as a big family that has lived together for generations.
This big family started with a shrewd and capable ancestor who led several sons and worked together in hardships to create a big family with the Ji family as the center. Most of the emperors and princes with different surnames were related by marriage.
The organization of the entire feudal empire was based on family.
Just from this point of inference, we know that the collapse of this empire is only a matter of time. The crisis comes from two aspects. The first is the inheritance system of "the first eldest son." Once the message is not human, it will cause people to rebel and alienate. King You of Zhou is the most obvious example. .
The second is that the originally close relationship between each other gradually became estranged after passing down generations. As the population increased, the good and the bad became more uneven, and it was inevitable that there would be hatred, competition, and the use of force.
Once chaos emerged, no one could stop the natural movement of the wheel of history. Once the royal family lost the ability to control the princes, it would immediately fall into a situation of separatism. The invasion of foreign tribes forced King Zhou Ping to move eastward, which provided such an opportunity. .
The status of the monarch and his ministers was initially created by power. When this power disappeared, the status became a paper tiger, and the governance power of the Zhou Dynasty completely collapsed.
However, this collapse occurred slowly, not all at once.
Before the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, the feudal princes still had a mentality of caring about old friendships and not taking things too seriously in their relationship with each other and with the Zhou family, and they did not overdo their disobedience.
Therefore, for three hundred years after King Ping moved eastward, he was still able to maintain the spiritual respect and respect for the Zhou family in general.
After the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, no official who was not a close relative of the official family usurped or usurped the throne. However, after the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, the status of the Zhou family was further weakened and the majesty was even less. However, the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was still a prince in name only. co-owner.
Now the Lord of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has made a final blow against the fear of Qin in various countries, which cannot be ignored.
Wu Zhuo continued: "The secret envoy sent by the Lord of Eastern Zhou this time is called Ji Chong. If he is allowed to promote the alliance of Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han, Qin will be in a very bad situation, and now It seems the chances of success are pretty good.”
Teng Yi looked at Xiang Shaolong and said: "We must try to destroy this matter, otherwise Lu Buwei will not be able to protect his position as prime minister."
Xiang Shaolong's head immediately became several times bigger.
Teng Yi's words make sense. In the final analysis, Lu Buwei's position as prime minister is entirely dependent on King Zhuang Xiang, which is not secure. The Qin people attach great importance to military merit. If the six countries join forces, this battle will definitely be defeated but not won. At that time, even King Zhuang Xiang could not protect Lu Buwei.
If Lu Buwei falls, the Wu family will never be able to gain a foothold in Qin. Although the world is vast, the Wu family will not have a safe place to live.
What was once a simple matter suddenly became complicated and troublesome.
Jing Jun finally found a chance to intervene and said: "Isn't Yan and Zhao at war? Why are the Yan people taking part this time?"
Teng Yi said: "Who among the princes has not been at war and peace in the past hundred years?" Then Su Rong said: "Xiaojun had better be patient and don't go to your Zhao Zhi before the situation is clear, otherwise we will find out the truth.
Don’t even think that anyone can live outside Handan.”
Jing Jun's expression darkened, and he lowered his head and agreed, but everyone could see his reluctance.
Xiang Shaolong asked: "How is the situation with Zhao Mu?"
Wu Zhuo was still frightened and said: "Fortunately we captured the envoy sent by the Chu people, otherwise we would have suffered a big loss this time. It turns out that Zhao Mu is the fifth son of Chun Shenjun of Chu State, and Bai Dingnian, the Chu envoy, is Chun.
The person sent by Lord Shen to contact Zhao Mu also brought a secret letter personally written by Lord Chun Shen, which saved me a lot of interrogation."
Teng Yi smiled and said: "Of course I won't hand over the letter to this traitor without changing every word."
Wu Zhuo smiled and said: "This is inevitable. The content of this secret letter is simple. It just teaches Zhao Mu to trust Bai Dingnian and cooperate with him. As for the cooperation, it is not written out. So I signed according to the seal on the letter.
I copied another letter and gave it to Zhao Mu, and now it seems that he has confidence in us."
Xiang Shaolong's heart moved and he asked, "Is that secret letter still there?"
Wu Zhuo said: "How could I lose such a useful thing? Even the Chu envoy stayed behind and was under house arrest in a secret place outside Handan. Zhao Mu is in trouble this time."
Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed. After discussing for a while, the four brothers gathered their spirits and went to Zhao Palace for the banquet.
On the way, Xiang Shaolong thought of the decisive battle with Lian Jin in Zhao Palace and couldn't help but feel deeply.
Nothing is more unpredictable than this.
Who could have guessed at that time that two years later, he would go to see King Zhao in another identity and with completely different feelings?
Under the leadership of Zhao Jun, Xiang Shaolong and his three sworn brothers rode boldly into the palace gate.
The Imperial Guards set up their formations and lined up to welcome him in the square in front of the main hall of Zhao Palace. The drums and music were loud and it was very lively.
Xiang Shaolong and others were quite surprised as they did not expect such a large battle, and they also knew that King Zhao attached great importance to their "return".
One of the generals rode out to welcome him and sang a welcome speech. He was clearly an ungrateful old acquaintance, Cheng Xu.
This guy's military uniform had a new look. It seemed that he had been promoted to the head of the Imperial Guard.
Xiang Shaolong followed the rules of etiquette, and after some discussion, he rode with him to the palace.
Cheng Xu smiled cordially and said, "I don't know why, although this is the first time I've met Mr. General, I feel like we've met him before. Mr. Hu looks very much like someone I'm familiar with, but I can't remember who it is for the moment."
Xiang Shaolong felt secretly in his heart, knowing that even though his appearance had changed, his body shape was still the same, and there would be some flaws in his words and deeds unintentionally, which aroused Cheng Xu's memories and feelings for him.
He said nonchalantly in his "low and hoarse" and "slow-paced" voice: "No need to be surprised, Seibei, I also have this feeling from time to time. When I see someone I've met for the first time, it seems like I've known him for a long time.
"
Cheng Xu said in relief: "It seems so."
At this time, they came to the square in front of the Yuhua Hall in the inner palace. Cheng Xu dismounted first, followed by Xiang Shaolong, Teng Yi and others.
Dozens of guards lined up on both sides of the steps of the Yuhua Palace. During the ceremony, Zhao Mu, the traitor, accompanied by Le Cheng and Guo Kai, came down the steps.
Xiang Shaolong and others sighed secretly when they saw this. They never expected that this foolish king, King Xiaocheng, would still rely on Zhao Mu so much after being taught a harsh lesson in their battle.
Zhao Mu laughed loudly from a distance and said, "It's so nice of me, Mr. Zhao Mudong, Marquis of Julu, to come. Your Majesty, your heart is getting anxious waiting for it."
Xiang Shaolong pretended to be frightened and said respectfully: "If the king is anxious, how can this little man bear it?"
Zhao Mu stepped forward, stretched out his hands to hold his, winked at him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has personally seen the war horses sent by Sir, and is very satisfied. With Sir's help, our great Zhao will be able to greatly strengthen the army."
Power."
Xiang Shaolong saw that Zhao Mu could not recognize him, so he put his mind at ease and said happily: "I can make the king happy, I feel that this trip is worthwhile." At the same time, he exchanged glances with Guo Kai.
Zhao Mu introduced Le Cheng to him cordially, while Xiang Shaolong introduced Teng and Jing. After some polite words, they all walked to Zhao Palace in a relaxed manner.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, the guards in the hall stood upright and saluted neatly, and the band played loud music to welcome the distinguished guests.
Xiang Shaolong, Zhao Mu and others came forward and knelt down.
King Zhao laughed loudly, left the dragon throne at the other end of the door, walked down the steps, hurriedly walked over, helped Xiang Shaolong up, and said happily and cordially: "Mr. Dong is a distinguished guest of a few people, and you don't have to hold the reins of the king and his ministers."
Ceremony." Then he said to Teng Yi and others: "Everyone, please get up."
As soon as Xiang Shaolong stood up, Jing Jun behind him burst into tears. Everyone, including Xiang Shaolong and others, was stunned on the spot.
When everyone's eyes focused on Jing Jun, who was crying and lying on the ground refusing to get up, the boy sobbed: "I'm so rude, but I see that the young master can finally return to his country and complete what he has accomplished for many years."
The wish made me so excited that I started crying again.
Xiang Shaolong and others were amazed in their hearts. They didn't expect that Jing Jun had the ability to cry when he wanted to. If they hadn't known better, they would have thought that he was so moved that he couldn't help crying.
Of course, King Zhao would not have any doubts. He went over to help Jing Jun up, and after some consolation, he said to Xiang Shaolong, "I am deeply touched that Mr. Dong has such a loyal servant."
Only then did Xiang Shaolong have the opportunity to take stock of the environment in the palace.
Queen Zhao Han Jing also attended the dinner. She was seated at a little distance to the right of King Xiaocheng. She was looking at her with stern eyes. Fortunately, her expression was just out of curiosity, not to see any flaws in him.
There are four seats on the left and right sides of King Zhao. There should be one seat for each person, so one seat is vacant. I wonder who is so arrogant that he dares to be late for King Zhao's dinner?
He responded sincerely: "Although I have been in a foreign country for a long time, I always think about returning to my country. However, because of the relationship between Wushi, I am afraid."
King Zhao snorted coldly and interrupted him: "Don't mention this person again. Don't worry, it's rare for you to miss me so much. From today on, I can raise horses for you with peace of mind. I will not treat you badly."
Xiang Shaolong and others hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
Just as he was about to take his seat, the doorman sang: "Mrs. Ya has arrived."
Xiang Shaolong and others were startled and looked towards the door.
Except for Zhao Ya's pretty face, which has aged a bit, she is still radiant and gorgeous. Dressed in a luxurious evening dress with red and blue patterns on a white background, she flew into the palace like a colorful butterfly.
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of his past kindness.
When Zhao Ya's beautiful eyes drifted to Xiang Shaolong, her tender body visibly trembled and she stopped walking.
Xiang Shaolong waited and thought something was wrong.
Zhao Yafei, like Zhao Mu and Xiaocheng Wang, could sense things that no one else could sense with just a woman's keen intuition about her lover, whom she had shared day and night with, skin to skin.
Fortunately, King Xiaocheng and Queen Jing thought that this famous slut only had such a strange expression because she fell in love with Xiang Shaolong. She laughed and said: "Sister Wang is late again. I will punish you with three drinks later. I can't help it."
Come and meet Mr. Dong”
Zhao Ya came back to her senses, looked at Xiang Shaolong doubtfully, and suddenly her beautiful eyes dimmed. She moved forward and knelt down to salute King Zhao, then stood up and saluted Xiang Shaolong and said, "Zhao Ya has met Mr. Dong."
Xiang Shaolong and others breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to sit down.
With Xiang Shaolong as their leader, they occupied the four seats on the right. On the other side were Zhao Mu, Zhao Ya, Le Cheng and Guo Kai.
While the maid was serving wine and food, a group of more than thirty singers and dancers ran in lightly, singing and dancing accompanied by drums and music.
After Zhao Ya sat down at the table, she kept her pretty face downcast with a sad expression. She seemed to be aroused and secretly miserable.
After the dance, the guests of honor toasted to each other as usual.
Zhao Mu, however, refused to let Zhao Ya go, and again brought up the matter of being fined for three days of drinking, forcing her to do it three times in a row.
The slightly drunk Zhao Ya started to act wild, smiling and cooing all the time. Although it made Xiang Shaolong angry, she did bring endless liveliness and happiness to the party. When this beauty started to act wild, every man would feel itchy to watch her.
In particular, she has returned to her former slutty self, making flirtatious glances at everyone present. Teng Yi and Wu Zhuo were better off, while Jing Jun was already stunned and frequently toasted to her.
After a while of commotion, King Zhao asked Xiang Shaolong: "How do you plan to develop your great cause here, sir?"
Xiang Shaolong said slowly in a hoarse voice: "I'm just taking the first step, there are still several batches of war horses and horse breeds on the way. Without further ado, tomorrow I will go to inspect outside the city to see if there are any suitable places.
It’s easy to open a ranch.”
King Zhao said happily: "This is the best."
Zhao Ya gave Xiang Shaolong a flirtatious look and said, "Will Sir's family members arrive at the same time?"
Xiang Shaolong was unhappy when he saw her acting like a prostitute, and said coldly: "After everything is settled, I will send someone back to fetch them."
Le Cheng asked curiously: "Mr. Dong moved his family to our country like this, isn't he afraid of attracting the jealousy of the Chu people?"
Xiang Shaolong replied calmly: "The villain's pasture is located on the border of Chu and Wei. As long as we hand over 500 war horses and 5,000 livestock to the Chu people every year, the Chu people will never ask anything about the villain. This time I come here
The villain has already made arrangements before, but I don’t expect anything to happen to them in the short term.”
King Zhao laughed and said: "We won't talk about business tonight, we will only talk about romance. Let me show you something good."
After saying this, he clapped his hands and the music started again.
While everyone's eyes widened, four singers and dancers came to the table with graceful steps and performed another round of singing and dancing.
Not only are they far more beautiful than the singing and dancing girls just now, but what is even more shocking is that their beautiful and alluring breasts are only covered with purple, bright yellow, light green and clear blue gauze, holding long swords, dancing gracefully.
Suddenly, the youthful and moving spring light looms, and it is extremely beautiful. Especially the contrast between the strong and soft swords and the female body makes them even more wild.
Xiang Shaolong, who had not touched a woman since he started on the road, couldn't help but feel aroused by the sight.
After the dance, the singer retreated. Zhao Mu said with a smile: "This is the best of the ten beauties of the Yan tribe presented to the king by the Yan people. It is also a meeting gift from the king to sir. Do you think it is okay, sir?"
This kind of grand event of gifting beautiful women is a routine custom among the rich and powerful in this era. However, Xiang Shaolong's current situation is not suitable for acceptance. He said sternly: "I understand the kindness of the king, but now I am opening a ranch."
Everything is in vain, and it is really not suitable for women to enjoy themselves. Your Majesty, please take back your order."
King Zhao was stunned for a while and then said movedly: "Sir, you are indeed a very human being. No wonder you are known as a horse madman. In this case, these four Yan girls will stay in the palace and will be sent to your mansion after everything is settled."
Zhao Yada looked at Xiang Shaolong with interest and said, "I wonder when Sir has decided to inspect outside the city?"
Xiang Shaolong knew that she was curious about his indifference, and secretly complained that something was wrong. He frowned and replied: "I will leave before sunrise tomorrow. I hope General Lecheng will arrange the opening of the city gate."
He guessed that since Zhao Ya had returned to her previous dissolute and decadent life, she couldn't get out of bed so early, so he said this.
As expected, Zhao Ya looked disappointed and said no more.
The banquet continued. Although no serious business was discussed, the topic always revolved around this aspect because Xiang Shaolong pretended to be a rough man who only knew animal husbandry.
When King Zhao asked about the situation in Chu, Xiang Shaolong had already prepared an answer and dealt with it easily.
In the end, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After the banquet, Zhao Mu excused himself to send Xiang Shaolong back, rode in the same car with him, and took the opportunity to discuss in secret.
Zhao Ya's second crisis came.
The car drove out of the palace gate.
Zhao Mu immediately turned his face and said coldly: "Who came up with the idea to give a thousand fine war horses to the Zhao people?"
Xiang Shaolong was amused in his heart and said calmly: "Of course it was Chun Shenjun's idea."
Zhao Mu's face darkened, his eyes gleaming, he looked at Xiang Shaolong coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Are you really that "horse crazy" Dong Kuang?"
Xiang Shaolong lowered his voice and said: "Of course not. The real horse idiot really wanted to return to Zhao. He had been executed by the king long ago and his property was confiscated. These thousand horses are only part of his family property."
Zhao Mu was confused and said: "I only asked you to send people to seize the "Secret Records of Lu Gong" that fell into Guo Zong's hands. Why are you coming to Handan with great fanfare now? If something happens, maybe even I will be implicated.
Inside."
Xiang Shaolong replied calmly: "This is Chun Shenjun's clever plan. You must know that after the battle of Wujia, Zhao State's vitality was severely damaged, and it may be advantageous to the neighboring countries of Qin, Wei, and Qi. Your Majesty has
Seeing this, I changed my strategy, hoping that the young master could take the king of Zhao and replace him, so that our great Chu could bring Zhao into our territory without spending a single soldier."
Zhao Mu was shocked, his eyes flashed with joy, and he lost his voice: "Does Mr. Jun really have such an idea?"
Since arriving in Zhao State, his power has increased day by day, but his mood is also extremely contradictory.
Chun Shenjun's original intention was for him to control the King of Zhao, so that he could use the power of the Zhao people to contain the Qin people and destroy the conspiracy of the three Jins to unite. But people are not grass and trees. After more than ten years of living in Zhao for a long time, Zhao Mu couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Zhao Guosheng had a desire to belong. However, this could only be a fantasy. He was still controlled from a distance by the Chu people. If he had any objections, the Chu people could reveal his identity at any time. It would be an uncomfortable feeling.
But if he could usurp the throne of King Zhao, it would be a completely different situation.
People look high, this is the dream in Zhao Mu's heart.
Seeing his expression, Xiang Shaolong knew that he had hit the opponent's vital point, and said in a serious tone: "How dare you deceive me, the villain? The warriors who came here with me this time are all top-notch warriors, and there will be thousands more later.
On the pretext of driving livestock into Zhao, as long as we can get rid of influential generals like Lian Po and Li Mu, Zhao will be in the prince's pocket."
Zhao Muxi said: "I see, I will think about it when I go back and see how I should plan."
Tan put his hand on his shoulder, leaned close to his ear and whispered: If I can really become the king of Zhao, I will not treat you poorly." The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Of course they are happy for completely different reasons.
blank line
After returning to the Chinese mansion formerly known as Proton Mansion, Teng Yi said to Xiang Shaolong: "That slut is very interested in third brother, so be careful."
Jing Jun said with envy: "If third brother fucks her a few more times in a different capacity, wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Before Xiang Shaolong had a chance to speak, Teng Yi scolded Jing Jun displeasedly: "You are always full of lustful thoughts, but you don't know the disadvantages of lustful affairs. That slut and your third brother used to have a close relationship. If there is sexual intercourse,
Through contact, I guarantee that I can reveal Shaolong's true face from the senses, but I can't hide it from her just because of the smell."
Xiang Shaolong was frightened and secretly wary. To be honest, he was still very interested in Zhao Ya's body and would not regard having sex with her as a chore. However, he never thought that Zhao Ya would reveal the truth.
possibility.
She smiled and said, "Fortunately, I pretend to be a horse fanatic who only loves raising horses but not beauties. Even if she is interested in me, it will be of no use."
After everyone discussed what to do tomorrow, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
After returning to the room, Xiang Shaolong took off his mask and lay down on the couch. His thoughts were ups and downs and he could not fall asleep.
Mainly because of Zhao Ya.
This slut who had betrayed him twice obviously still had unresolved feelings for him, otherwise she would not have been able to arouse her thoughts and interest in Xiang Shaolong because of her horse-crazy attitude.
Unspeakable hatred welled up in his heart, whether it was out of jealousy towards her debauchery, or out of pure revenge. Even he himself couldn't figure it out.
He is by no means handsome after putting on the mask, and his complexion is as dark as after being exposed to the sun. However, matching his figure and physique, he still has a charm that shines through his bones, especially his eyes that have changed their shape and are still so beautiful.
Shining and divine, full of fascinating power.
Then I thought of Ji Yanran's affectionate and charming person, and with the ups and downs of my thoughts, I couldn't fall asleep, so I simply got up from the bed and meditated according to the Mohist method.
After a while, I kept my mind and spirit together, and when I opened my eyes, the sky was dimly lit.
Xiang Shaolong hurriedly changed his clothes, put on his mask, and went out of the hall to meet Teng Yi and Wu Zhuo and go out together.
Jing Jun did not go with them because he had other tasks.
Lecheng sent a military general named Xie Fa to lead a group of Zhao soldiers as tour guides. He was waiting for them in the hall. After a few polite words, everyone galloped onto the streets of Handan where a new day of activities had just begun.
The sound of hoofbeats sounded from behind.
Everyone looked back in shock, and saw a group of people chasing after them. It was Zhao Ya and more than a dozen escorting generals.
Xiang Shaolong and Teng Wu exchanged glances, then reined in their horses and waited.
No one could have imagined that Zhao Ya was so "interested" in Xiang Shaolong.
The smiling Zhao Ya sent away the generals, including Zhao Da and others, and then rode her horse to Xiang Shaolong. She said with a smiling face: "Mr. Dong is a guest from afar, how can he not have anyone to accompany him?"
When Xiang Shaolong saw her wearing a tight-fitting light blue riding outfit, a short jacket, long trousers, and long boots, which exposed her beautiful figure, Xiang Shaolong was so moved that he was speechless.
Zhao Ya glanced at him and said, "Mr. Dong, don't you welcome me?"
Xiang Shaolong said calmly in his hoarse voice: "Madam, you are too preoccupied. It is not too late for me to be happy when I have my wife as my companion."
Zhao Ya let out a sweet laugh like a silver bell, took the lead and rode out, shouting: "Then follow me"
Xiang Shaolong sighed in his heart and rode after him.
They left the city through the east gate and ran as fast as they could.
Witnessing the mountains and forests at the turn of spring and summer, Xiang Shaolong was so open-minded that he put aside all his worries and at the same time made up his mind to fight hard and turn Zhao people upside down. He would no longer hold back because of his soft heart.
