The next morning, Shanrou, who had just tasted the forbidden fruit, kept her promise and took Zhao Zhi to the garden to practice swordplay as if nothing had happened. Jing Jun remembered the beautiful village girl and went back to the ranch at dawn, leaving Tian Zhentian behind.
Feng accompanies Xiang Shaolong for breakfast.
Wu Guo came in at this time and said: "Pingshanhou sent a message, asking the third master to come to his hotel in the afternoon."
Xiang Shaolong's heart moved, and he immediately knew that it was not Han Chuang who wanted him to be the city guard, but Queen Jing herself, otherwise Han Chuang would have been able to date the Zhao Kingdom's second wife so easily.
If you think about it carefully, this is reasonable.
Now all the generals in Handan belong to different factions, but he is the only one who has not yet been associated with the major factions. If he is locked up to guard the city, he will naturally have a feeling of knowing and appreciating Queen Jing. One day, King Xiaocheng will die, and Queen Jing will become the powerful queen mother.
He Xiang Shaolong has become her most powerful confidant.
But why does she like herself?
Seeing that he was silent, Wu Guo didn't dare to disturb him. Just as he was about to leave, he called Xiang Shaolong back and asked, "How is the situation outside?" Wu Guo immediately reported, "It's much calmer, but there are still people everywhere on the streets.
Zhao soldiers stopped and checked the passers-by, and King Xiaocheng issued a notice that residents were not allowed to take in any strangers. All hotels were inspected by Zhao soldiers."
Tian Zhen and Tian Feng both had a good impression of Wu Guo. Seeing his respectful appearance, they couldn't help but snicker. Whenever Xiang Shaolong was out of sight, Wu Guo also winked at the two girls, making the two girls even happier.
Xiang Shaolong suddenly said: "Wuguo"
Wu Guo was startled and responded quickly.
Xiang Shaolong said: "Find someone for me to inform Ji Cainnu that I will formally visit her at dusk and hope to have dinner with her."
Wu Guo took the order and went.
Zhao Zhi and Shan Rouxiang came back dripping with sweat and sat on both sides of Xiang Shaolong. Sister Tian got busy waiting on them.
Xiang Shaolong thought of Shanrou's touching sex last night, her wild and seductive beauty, and said sweetly in his heart: "Don't you want to take a shower first?
Shanrou was noncommittal, but Zhao Zhi said cheerfully, "I'm so hungry." He continued to eat while saying, "Sister Rou's steps are much slower today, and I can keep up with her."
Xiang Shaolong naturally understood the reason for his slow pace and almost spit out the steamed buns in his mouth.
Shanrou's face turned red, and she gave Xiang Shaolong's poor thigh a few hard twists.
Zhao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to have some realization, his pretty face turned red, and he ate in silence.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Xiang Shaolong was amused in his heart. He modeled himself on each of the two women, then patted his belly and stood up, saying, "I also want to go out for a walk and stretch my muscles."
Zhao Zhi said "Ah" and said, "Wait a minute, I almost forgot that master asked me to take you to the martial arts school."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, "Is this an invitation?" Zhao Zhi's pretty face turned red, and he glanced at him and said, "Your feet are not on my body, so who cares where you go." He smiled sweetly and offered them again.
Fascinating eyes, I just went.
Xiang Shaolong said to Shanju who lowered his head and munched: "Let's wait for sister to come."
Shanrou was so angry that she swept over with her kick.
Xiang Shaolong laughed and moved away: "Such Rourou, did you think that your foot skills were as good as last night and that you nearly killed me?" Shanrou was so angry that she picked up a steamed bun and threw it at Xiang Shaolong's face.
Xiao □ took it calmly with one hand, took a bite, and said thoughtfully: "It's not as delicious as Sister Rou."
Before Shanrou jumped up like a mad tiger, he had already followed Zhao Zhi and slipped into the bathroom.
That morning was spent at the Samurai Guild. Zhao Ba asked about "Long Shan" and Xiang Shaolong suggested that he went to the ranch.
When Zhao Zhi was instructing more than fifty female soldiers in the guild to practice in the training field, Zhao Ba pulled Xiang Shaolong aside and said cordially: "Last night, the king summoned me to the palace because of your incident.
"
Xiang Shaolong asked in astonishment: "What's the matter?" Zhao Ba whispered: "It's mainly about how you and your servant Long Shan defeated Li Yuan that day. Of course I can't praise it enough."
Xiang Shao Wanglong quickly thanked him, but he was muttering in his heart.
Xiaocheng may not have the shrewdness to detect anything suspicious about him, but Guo Kai is a cunning and wise man who might be suspicious of their army of horse herders. Of course, King Xiaocheng may just want to arrange a suitable place for him.
position, so I asked the head coach of Zhao Guo.
Judging from Zhao Ba's tone, Xiaocheng seemed to have asked him some other things, and he would definitely ask Zhao Zhi to find out about them later.
For the safety of everyone, we really have to win over Zhao Ya and find out Guo Kai's conspiracy. After all, Zhao Ya has deceived him before, and he deceived her back, so this slut had no choice but to accept her fate.
After lunch, Xiang Shaolong left Zhao Zhi at the guild and went to Han Chuang's place alone.
The atmosphere in Handan has generally returned to calm, and the number of pedestrians has significantly reduced. From time to time, I encounter soldiers patrolling the city, and everyone salutes and salutes when they see him. He is more majestic than when he was a guard officer before.
The area around Han Chuang's residence was even more fierce and full of Zhao soldiers. Xiang Shaolong speculated that Queen Jing had arrived one step ahead of him.
Why is she so concerned about herself? It can be seen that she must have some agenda and is in urgent need of a confidant to help her grasp the military power of Handan City, and he, a newcomer, is the most suitable.
I remembered the discord between Queen Jing and Zhao Ya during the dinner, and further thought that if King Jing recommended someone else, Zhao Ya would definitely object. If he recommended Dong Ma Chi, Zhao Ya might have a completely different attitude.
.
After the announcement, Han Chuang went to the hall to greet him, first led him into the side hall, and said solemnly: "Be careful what you say later. My sister Wang is very powerful. If you say even half a sentence wrong, your job as city guard will be over."
Han Chuang said: "I have another mission when I come to Handan today, which is to escort the seventh princess of our country to hold a wedding ceremony with the prince. Queen Jing will come to visit her as an excuse and will never arouse any suspicion."
Xiang Shaolong suddenly realized that this political marriage must have been brokered by Queen Jing. It also shows that the Zhao people and the Korean people in the Six Kingdoms are particularly close.
Taking this opportunity, Xiang Shaolong asked about the alliance, and Han Chuang said distressedly: "It's not that Tian Dan and Li Yuan are making a fuss about the affairs of Yan State, these two people are in love with each other, and they regard our three Jins more than the Qin people."
A dangerous threat. Both Ji Zhong and I have some doubts that Lun Xi you and Long Yang Jun are the main messengers. They want to kill Long Yang Jun and also want to get rid of you."
Xiang Shaolong was stunned. In fact, after Zhao Ya reminded him, his confidence in the person who initially guessed that the attacker was Lord Xinling had begun to waver. Although Tian Dan wanted to win over him, it was just another way of "getting rid of him".
"Kill him" Xiang Shaolong's method. In this era, if you can't use it, just kill it to avoid giving others an advantage.
At this time, someone came to report that Queen Jing could see him.
Xiang Shaolong followed Han Chuang through two courtyards, passed a large garden, and saw the first lady of the Zhao Kingdom in the inner courtyard.
After saluting, Queen Jing glanced at Han Chuang, who and the servants and guards all withdrew, leaving the two of them sitting opposite each other.
Set off by the gorgeous clothes and beautiful ornaments, this country is even more graceful and luxurious, and its beauty is dazzling.
Xiang Shaolong secretly compares her with Mrs. Pingyuan. It is true that they are both good at winning, and it is difficult to tell them apart.
Queen Jing looked at him with burning eyes and said calmly: "Mr. Dong, do you know why I am meeting you today?" Listening to her tone, Xiang Shaolong was more sure that it was her who fell in love with him, not Han Chuang, who only
After being ordered to thread the needle, he respectfully replied: "The Marquis of Han has said that Queen Jing's kindness in knowing her will be repaid by me in the future, no matter how much my life is ruined, I will definitely repay her."
Queen Jing was not moved by his expressed loyalty at all, and said coldly: "I think highly of you for two reasons. Sir, do you want to know?" Xiang Shaolong raised his head in shock, secretly wondering whether this beautiful woman who only guards the palace ban is.
Have you fallen in love with his "male beauty"?
Queen Jing looked at him with deep eyes and said slowly: "The first reason is that Tian Dan also thinks highly of you, so you, Dong Kuang, should never be sent there."
Xiang Shaolong showed a look of astonishment, and at the same time his curiosity aroused, and he asked: "Dare you ask Queen Jing what the other reason is?" Queen Jing sighed softly: "Because I see another person in you.
Shadow, like you, he is the kind of person who is not afraid of heaven or earth. It's a pity that the timing is unlucky and he will never be able to be used by me."
Xiang Shaolong was shocked, knowing that the person she was talking about was him.
Seeing that he was speechless, Queen Jing was surprised and said, "Sir, don't you want to know who that person is?" Queen Jing nodded slightly with satisfaction at his understanding, and then said in a cold tone: "What is the relationship between you and Zhao Mu? Why?
He actually went out of his way to transfer the Tian sisters who had been given away to you?" Xiang Shaolong knew that he must not hesitate at this moment, nor could he answer her like he answered Zhao Ya. He shrugged and said: "Marquis Julu started when I came to the capital.
As a result, I am favored more and more, but I don’t know why.”
Queen Jing glared at him for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, Dong Kuang, you can only be loyal to the king and me, otherwise you will be in trouble. Don't blame me for not mentioning you. With your talent, sir,
You don’t need to say it explicitly, you should understand what is going on
"Xiang Shaolong secretly screamed, this female warrior carried King Xiaocheng out and stood side by side with her. It was really hard for him to distinguish the true from the false.
On the one hand, she uses Zhao Mu, but at the same time, she also guards against Zhao Mu.
Queen Jing asked again: "Did Marquis Julu have anything particularly important to say to you?" Xiang Shaolong thought for a while and said: "Marquis Julu seems to be very unhappy with Li Yuan and often asks me if I have any methods to deal with him.
There’s nothing special about it.”
Queen Jing nodded with satisfaction, changed the subject and said, "Does Zhao Ya often come to pester you? Isn't she beautiful? Why do you always treat her so distantly?"
Xiang Shaolong knew that she was testing his loyalty by asking about such personal matters, so he grunted: "I don't like women who are busy with their affairs.
"Queen Jing smiled and said: "I am very pleased with your straightforward character, but if you want to ascend to the position of city guard, you must compromise with Zhao Yaxu. This can be regarded as my first order to you."
Xiang Shaolong pretended to be embarrassed and said apologetically: "Please forgive Mr. Dong for being a rough guy. It is really difficult to deliberately deceive others. If Queen Jing ordered me to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy to the death, I would never frown at all.
"
This is called retreating in order to advance. If he completely goes against his usual style for the sake of the city guard position, this ruthless woman will look down on him.
As expected, Queen Jing did not feel dissatisfied at all, and said with a sweet smile: "I knew Mr. Dong was not this kind of person. But sluts are more likely to attract men. I am not forcing Mr. Dong to lie to her, I just want you to show her a slightly masculine look."
With her romantic nature, just pretend that she is a singer who comes to your doorstep.
When Xiang Shaolong saw her charming appearance, his heart trembled, and he deliberately smiled teasingly at her and said: "This is also true, but I know my own family affairs. Any woman who gets along well with me will find it difficult to leave me afterwards."
Queen Jing stared at him fiercely, but Xuanze laughed wildly, gave him a meaningful glance and said: "Why do you men always like to praise yourselves when talking about your abilities with women? How can you teach others?"
Who do you know who has the real stuff?" Xiang Shaolong wanted to say that since he had doubts, why not give it a try, but in the end he did not dare to say it, and laughed dumbly and said: "When Queen Jing said it, I realized that other men are also the same.
Love is so boastful."
Queen Jing's pretty face suddenly turned red. She knew she had let something slip. Didn't she tell the other party that she had had sex with many men?
Xiang Shaolong suddenly thought of Cheng Xu in Jinshui Tower. This ungrateful boy might have risen to power through the relationship with Queen Jing, but why did Queen Jing choose him instead of protecting him as the city guard? Xuan suddenly realized,
If this ambitious woman has people inside and outside the court, it will naturally be easier for her to control the political situation.
For a while, the two of them were relatively speechless, and the atmosphere was awkward.
Queen Jing stood up, her face returned to her awe-inspiring and inviolable expression, and she said coldly: "You must not tell anyone about my departure, otherwise I will never forgive you."
Xiang Shaolong cursed in his heart, but of course he did his best to please her on the outside. He didn't sigh in relief until he sent her out respectfully.
When saying goodbye to Han Chuang, Han Chuang acted like an old friend and insisted on going to the prostitute house with him one day to take advantage of the fun, and then he let him go.
Xiang Shaolong pretended that nothing happened, so he went to find Ji Yanran early. In the distance, he saw Tian Dan's motorcade entering the Liu Mansion where Ji Yanran was staying. He was so frightened that he turned around and left, going back to the manor first.
Shanrou and Tian's sisters were not staying there. When he asked, he found out that Shanrou was going shopping and took her sister with him. Wuguo accompanied him to the door of the dormitory and asked in a low voice: "Lecheng's class has been transported to the ranch."
, the uncle asked the third master how to deal with it."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Brother, please take care of it. When the news is less serious in a few days, send the traitor's head back to Xianyang to Prime Minister Lu, who will then hand it over to Empress Ji. It's very important that they don't leak the news."
Otherwise, everyone would know that we killed Le Cheng."
Wu Guo took the order and went.
Xiang Shaolong went back to his room and slept for two hours before rushing to the Liu Mansion. Shanrou had not returned yet.
As the sun sets, the city becomes even more bleak as residents don't dare to go out even if they have nothing to do.
Xiang Shaolong was greatly moved and secretly thought that this was all caused by the foolish King Xiaocheng.
But this is more likely to be fate, otherwise there would be no hope that Xiaopan, the future Qin Shihuang, would appear.
well
This may be what Zou Yan calls destiny.
When he arrived at the Liu Mansion, Ji Yanran was waiting for him and asked someone to take him directly to the small building to meet him. Zou Yan was also there. The three of them faced each other, feeling quite happy.
Ji Yanran prepared a banquet of exquisite food and wine. When the three of them sat down together, the pretty lady poured the wine for them. After they had a drink together, she complained: "I didn't hear from you until today. It's so tiring to think about it."
There are a few more ones.”
Zou Yan laughed and said: "If your performance is really disappointing, I will punish you with a drink on behalf of all men in the world."
The two of them clinked glasses and drank in one gulp. After Xiang Shaolong asked Ji Yanran to excuse him, he winked at the beauty. The latter understood and waved away the two waiters who were serving her.
Xiang Shaolong lowered his voice and said, "It was indeed you who did it. It was really powerful. More than two hundred people were killed or injured in an instant. Not only did it shock the whole city, but even Tiandan, Li Yuan and others were horrified and confused, and became suspicious."
Zou Yan frowned and said, "But this also exposed your behavior. When Tian Dan came to visit Yan Ran just now, when he mentioned this matter, he expressed suspicion that Xiang Shaolong did it."
Xiang Shaolong was slightly stunned, knowing that even though he could deceive King Xiaocheng and Zhao Mu, he would never be able to deceive this generation of heroes. Fortunately, he still had Teng Yi's secret chess, which was enough to confuse his ears and eyes. He nodded and said: "He came to see Yanran.
What other purpose is there?" Ji Yanran was concerned about his safety and did not answer him. Instead, she asked: "What should we do? What if he really suspects you?" Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone in Handan City is now
They were suspicious of each other, so King Xiaocheng and others suspected that Tian Dan and Zhao Mu had teamed up to do it, and I also had a plan that would make the enemy exhausted and their troops exhausted."
Zou Yan smiled and said: "Both trees and grass are soldiers?" This description is indeed very appropriate for Handan. Yanran and I also studied the murder of Lecheng, and thought it was not you. Firstly, because you have too few people, and secondly, we both thought you were not capable of doing it.
Before capturing Zhao Mu alive, someone would do something like this to scare him away."
Ji Yanran was concerned and confused, complaining: "Shaolong, you are too reckless."
Xiang Shaolong sighed and said, "I made this move after careful consideration. I took advantage of the fact that I was injured in the battle so that no one would suspect me, so I took action." Then he said no killing.
The reasons why joy cannot be achieved, and the consequences that follow.
At the same time, he said: "If someone investigates afterwards, they will find that there were only a hundred people in our house at that time, and the number one subordinate Long Shan was not in the city. Who would believe that we were capable of doing such a thing. And the next morning these people were intact.
When they left the city and returned to the pasture, it was even more surprising that they were Lecheng people."
Ji and Zou stared at him in disbelief. How could more than a hundred people fight against more than two hundred people without losing a single soldier? Who would believe this?
But for this point, even if you are as smart as Tian Dan, you should not doubt them.
Ji Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, then poured wine for him and said, "You are always able to do things that others cannot do, and it amazes people. Alas, Yanran feels that life is difficult even if I don't see you for a day."
Xiang Shaolong said apologetically: "But today I came to see Yanran, but I want you to separate from me for a while and go back to Xianyang first."
Ji Yanran's delicate hands trembled, she poured a few glasses of wine, and her expression changed: "I can't agree to your promise anymore. There was no discussion on this matter, and I won't listen to any excuses."
Xiang Shaolong looked at Zou Yan for help, and the great philosopher could only respond with a helpless smile.
After Ji Yanran filled Zou Yan's glass of wine, she smiled sweetly and said, "There's nothing you can do about being unreasonable once."
Zou Yan asked helplessly: "Why does Shaolong want us to go to Xianyang first?" Ji Yanran picked up a handful of dishes and put them in Zou Yan's bowl, and said slightly angrily: "No one is allowed to mention this matter again in the future."
Xiang Shaolong surrendered and said: "Okay, I will give up this idea. Are you satisfied, talented woman?" Ji Yanran glanced at him affectionately, her beautiful and talkative eyes seemed to say, "Forget it."
Xiang Shaolong could only look at Zou Yan and smile bitterly.
The latter said: "Handan is not a place where you can stay for a long time, what new plan do you have?" Xiang Shaolong said: "If you can really ascend to the position of city guard, many things can be solved easily, otherwise you will have to use a trick to trick Zhao Mu into the pasture.
Go and take him back to Xianyang by force."
Ji Yanran said: "Let's not talk about whether Zhao Mu has the courage to leave the city. Even if he is willing to leave the city, he will never step out of the city gate without one or two thousand people to escort him, and he will camp every step of the way, so this is just the next step.
Of the policy."
Xiang Shaolong snorted coldly: "Now I am racing against the times. The problem is that the Zhao people are waiting for the day when my non-existent relatives and livestock arrive in Handan. So I must force Zhao Mu to rebel in the short term. If he changes
Being isolated and helpless is not a matter of letting me be my prey. The biggest problem now is still time."
Both of them were troubled by him.
Xiang Shaolong thought of Tian Dan and asked again: "What is the reason for Tian Dan's visit?" Ji Yanran blushed and said, "What else is good? He formally extended an invitation to Yanran to visit Qi State."
Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that Tian Dan was straightforward and asked, "How should Yanran answer him?" Ji Yanran said, "I told him to think about it for a few days, because I have to ask you before I answer him."
Xiang Shaolong pondered for a while and said: "It seems that only Long Yangjun has guessed the relationship between you and me. This situation is of great benefit to us. Although we still don't know who the person who attacked Long Yangjun is, he indirectly helped us."
A big favor, it eliminates the threat of Long Yangjun sending people to monitor you."
Ji Yanran said happily: "I don't care, I will definitely find you tonight, because I have a lot of things on my mind and want to talk to you."
Xiang Shaolong wondered: "What's on your mind? Can't you tell me now?" Zou Yan smiled and said: "Do you want me to stay away for a while?" Ji Yanran's cheeks burned, and she stamped Xiang Shaolong hard several times.
Feet, he said shyly and angrily: "Mr. Zou is also laughing at me."
Xiang Shaolong suddenly understood that the so-called worries were just grand words for Zou Yan to listen to. In fact, he couldn't restrain his spring thoughts and wanted to fight with him.
Xiang Shaolong looked at the time and said with a smile: "Then Mr. Dong will be waiting for Miss Ji tonight. Please tell me when Lecheng's funeral will be held."
Both men shook their heads.
He pondered for a while and asked about Li Yuan's situation.
Ji Yanran said: "He comes to visit the family every day. Judging from his tone, he and Guo Zong are very close this time. It seems that Guo Zong will marry his daughter to him."
Xiang Shaolong sighed for the future fate of this lovely beauty Guo Xiuer, then said goodbye and left.
There are many things that cannot be rushed at the moment. The only thing to do is to see if the position of city guard will fall to him.
