Chapter 24 Chapter 1 Embark on the Journey

Before leaving the palace, the soldiers and horses gathered at the Dajiao Field, and King Zhao personally presided over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth, praying for a safe journey, but of course Xiang Shaolong knew that what he was asking was that they could steal back the "Secret Records of Duke Lu", Instead of caring about their life and death, let alone the happiness of his daughter Zhao Qian. King Zhao reluctantly dispatched some more men to Xiang Shaolong, increasing his force to 500, plus 200 generals from Lord Shaoyuan, and 700 light cavalry escorted Mrs. Ya, the third princess Zhao Qian, and Ping Yuan. Twenty-seven horse-drawn carts and forty mule carts carrying food and miscellaneous goods from the wife and a group of servants left Zhao's capital Handan from the south gate, and went along the official road to Zixian County, the first stop. advance.

This is still within Zhao State, so don't worry about safety.General Li Mu sent another 500 cavalry to escort them to the border defense of the city wall that stretches nearly 200 miles outside Zixian County.So Xiang Shaolong was in a relaxed mood, and he had to worry about it until he had passed the city wall and set foot on the border of Wei State, which was far away. What surprised him the most was that Mrs. Ya's eight maids, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yu, all changed into military uniforms, and galloped gallopingly, with dexterity and agility. Xuan was relieved, in this era of war, everyone practiced martial arts for males, why would strong females be any exceptions.

He is a layman about the military establishment of this era, so he asked his deputy, Cheng Xu, while traveling without incident.Cheng Xu sighed: "War is a matter of life and death. As long as you have a little strength, you will use it up. In the Battle of Changping, Qin State sent all 15-year-old Chengtong to join the army. This time The king of Yan is happy to attack us, and the king conscripted even underage boys into the army. Fortunately, he was able to defeat the people of Yan, otherwise... alas!" Xiang Shaolong knows Mrs. Cheng Xu Naiya's person, and he has less scruples when talking to him.Randomly asked about the establishment of the military.

Cheng Xu knew everything and said: "The so-called three armies are generally the army of strong men, strong women, and the old and weak. The army of strong men is the main force of the battle; The army took on miscellaneous duties such as logistics, food and cooking for the army." Xiang Shaolong felt nothing. When he watched movies before, those war scenes were all splendid and heroic, full of heroic romance. It turns out that the real situation is two different things. Even women, children, old and weak are pushed to the battlefield to suffer and die. Cheng Xu said in a low voice: "Although we have a small number this time, we are all elite field cavalry. It is obvious that Your Majesty attaches great importance to this trip. It is very rare."

Xiang Shaolong looked back and saw Mr. Shaoyuan's ten carriages and two hundred generals fell to the rear.Can't help but sigh.Thinking of how Mr. Shaoyuan would listen to his command if something happened, it was just this "internal trouble" that gave him a headache. The curtains of Zhao Qian and Zhao Ya's two beauties' cars were lowered, so they couldn't see what was going on inside. They just wondered if they were secretly watching him? Thinking of this, he rode his horse to Lady Ya's carriage. Sure enough, Mrs. Ya immediately lifted the curtain, revealing a beautiful face, and said with a charming smile: "Master Bingwei, do you want to come up and sit down?"

Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly: "I have a task in my humble job, how can I be so presumptuous?" Xiao Zhao's girls in front and behind the carriage all pursed their lips and smiled. And the four loyal family generals who Mrs. Ya had mentioned were divided into two groups, guarding both sides, and when they saw Xiang Shaolong, they all saluted Xiang Shaolong respectfully. Mrs. Ya said: "The four of them are orphans. They are called Zhao Da, Zhao Er, Zhao Wu and Zhao Qi after my surnames. If there is anything, just tell them." Xiang Shaolong saw that Zhao Da, the oldest among them, was only a little older than himself, and Zhao Qi was only sixteen years old at most, but they were all young men with strong physiques. It’s enough for them to protect you and the third princess all the time.” Thinking to himself, Zhao State may be the country with the most orphans and widows in this era.

Zhao Da and the other four agreed. That day, he walked for more than thirty miles, fortunately the scenery along the way was picturesque, Xiang Shaolong was in the mood of traveling in mountains and rivers, and he could chat with Mrs. Ya and Xiaozhao's daughters occasionally to relieve boredom, so he was not lonely. Zhao Qian and her two pretty maidservants hid in the car and did not show up. Although Xiang Shaolong wanted to see her very much, he had to restrain this urge. She was a golden branch and a jade leaf after all, and her status was noble, so she couldn't casually talk to men.What's more, knowing that she is going to marry into the state of Wei, it's better not to mess with her.

◇◇◇◇◇◇ At dusk, the brigade set up camp to rest, and erected more than 200 tents on the grassland beside a stream. In Xiang Shaolong's commander's tent, Xiang Shaolong, Cheng Xu, the deputy general Ding Shou sent by Li Mu, and the other two leaders Shang Ziji and Ren Zheng, a total of five people sat around the table and enjoyed dinner. The topics of these soldiers are naturally inseparable from war and the art of war.At this time, Ding Shou, a seasoned general, was discussing the changes and situation of the war as an expert. Ding Shoudao: "The previous wars were much simpler. Victory or defeat depended on a one-time charge. The decision could be made in a few days. Even a relatively protracted siege war only took 20 to 30 days. Like the longest Chuzhuang The Wang Wei Song Dynasty lasted nine months, which is a very rare example. Unlike the current war, it can be fought for three to five years at any time, and the bitterness is really indescribable."

Xiang Shaolong became very curious and asked, "Why is the change so drastic?" Cheng Xu interjected: "My lord has not joined the army for a long time, so naturally I don't know the situation. This can be divided into several aspects: first, the population has increased, and the military strength has also increased. In the past, big countries such as Jin and Chu had only four thousand troops. There are less than 100,000 people. But now, if you include the female soldiers and the old and the weak, you can easily have millions of armors; the second is national defense..."

Shang Ziji, the leader of the army, interjected: "Cheng Bingwei is right. In the past, the defense was only focused on the capital. Later, the fortresses and cities near the border were gradually built. For the rest of the place, the enemy can pass through at any time. It is like entering a land without people. .” Ren Zheng joined in and said: "Now it's a completely different matter. Countries and countries have built their own Great Walls and fortresses. If you want to conquer other countries, you have to attack the fortresses one by one, and there are problems with supplies, so When it comes to war, everyone frowns."

Cheng Xu continued to say: "In the past, the purpose of fighting was to capture prisoners and seize goods, and to surrender to the enemy. But now the priority is to seize land and kill the enemy. The loser is the hatred of death and the country. So who dare not swear to die Against the enemy, the war is indeed becoming more and more difficult and tragic." Ding Shou sighed: "In addition, large-scale infantry and cavalry field battles and encirclement warfare have replaced the neat and beautiful shock warfare that used to be dominated by vehicle warfare. The tactics are also much more complicated. The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit. Hitting from the waist, avoiding the real and attacking the weak, waiting for work with leisure, etc. In order to defeat the enemy and win the victory, they really use everything." Cheng Xu said with a smile: "At that time, the two warring parties chose a date and place in advance, and agreed on a time and place. At that time, each would use chariots as the main force, with infantry as the auxiliary, and set up a dignified formation. Then they would beat drums and fight cleanly. How can they still fight now? With this tone, it’s best if you don’t know when the soldiers are coming to the city, and you will be caught off guard.” Then he sighed: “When you fight for land, you kill people; when you fight for a city, you kill people.” Ding Shou also lamented: "In the past, peasants were recruited temporarily to serve as soldiers, but now warfare is becoming more and more professional. Not only are there regular soldiers, but the training is much stricter." Xiang Shaolong deeply felt their fear and weariness of war.He secretly thought that if even soldiers like them have such a mentality, let alone the pampered Mrs. Ya, Wu Zhiji and others.Especially after the First World War in Changping, the state of Zhao was in danger, which made everyone even more insecure.It seems that Zhao Guo really doesn't have many good days, how can he take all the girls to a safe place in time, so as not to become a broken egg under the overturned nest. While he was thinking, chaotic human voices came from outside the tent. Xiang Shaolong and the others were shocked and rushed out of the tent. I saw that Mrs. Ya's camp was surrounded by soldiers, and the sounds of quarreling kept coming. At this time, a soldier came and said in a panic, "It's a bad thing, Mr. Shao Yuan's Xu Hai killed someone." Xiang Shaolong, Cheng Xu and others exchanged glances, and they all saw the contempt for Mr. Shaoyuan. It was Mrs. Ya's family general Zhao Er who was killed. It turned out that Mr. Shaoyuan took advantage of Xiang Shaolong and others having dinner and chatting in the tent, and led three of the most famous generals in his family, Xu Hai, Pu Bu, and Liu Chao, and more than a dozen experts, to break into Mrs. Ya's house. It goes without saying that he wants to continue his relationship with her, and at the same time, it can make Xiang Shaolong lose face. Of course the guards didn't dare to stop him, until they reached Lady Ya's private forbidden area blocked by a curtain, they were blocked by Zhao Da et al. Before it was informed to Lady Ya, Mr. Shaoyuan, who wanted to make trouble, ordered his subordinates to attack the four of them. , Unable to defend, and outnumbered, four people were injured at the same time, Zhao Er cut Xu Hai's throat and died on the spot. Seeing that the situation was not right, the guards behind the curtain rushed over and surrounded Mr. Shao Yuan and others, and then blocked them. Lord Shaoyuan's house came upon hearing the news, but Xiang Shaolong's imperial guards kept him on the periphery, and it became a situation of confrontation for a while. When Xiang Shaolong, Cheng Xu, Ding Shou and others arrived, Mrs. Ya stared at Mr. Shaoyuan fiercely with a livid pretty face under the guard of the eight daughters of Xiao Zhao and the bloodstained Zhao Da, Zhao Wu and Zhao Qi. And Mr. Shaoyuan spent all his time with his subordinates, as if you could do anything to me.Seeing Xiang Shaolong coming, they ignored him.He said to Ding Shou: "What's the matter? I'll kill some of the most disrespectful people. What's the big deal? Deputy General Ding, you immediately drive these people away to me." Ding Shou was angry in his heart, but he also understood the way of being an official, so he didn't take matters into his own hands, and said in a deep voice: "Everything here is decided by Xiang Bingwei, and the general is only responsible for the safety along the road." Madam Ya moved to Xiang Shaolong's side, and said in a low voice: "Kill Xu Hai for me, and I will be responsible for all the consequences." Zhao Da and Zhao Er were siblings, knelt down together and said: "Xiang Bingwei, please make the decision for us .” Shaoyuan Jun sneered twice, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at Xiang Shaolong with disdain, intending to make him look bad. At this time, the curtain had already been pushed down to the ground, and the guards surrounding him felt the same feeling when they saw Mr. Shaoyuan, who had no eyes and no eyes, and the little dragon. Xiang Shaolong raised his hand, asking everyone to be quiet.Old hatred and new hatred surged in my heart, I really wanted to kill Shaoyuan Jun on the spot, but of course I couldn't do that. Not to mention that he has the responsibility to protect Lord Shaoyuan to go to Wei State, what is more worrying is that the second person in Wei State is the uncle of Lord Shaoyuan, how can he still go to Wei State if he is killed.Mr. Shaoyuan also saw this clearly, so he deliberately came to destroy Xiang Shaolong's prestige on the first day of the journey. If he was allowed to fool around and put up with this matter silently, then no one would think highly of Xiang Shaolong again. This is an era of power that only respects heroes.Maybe even Mrs. Ya will have a big change in her perception of him. All eyes were on him. Xiang Shaolong's eyes fell on the corpse of Zhao Er who was carried aside, and he shouted coldly: "Xu Hai!" Xu Hai's face was cold, and the tall, thin and tough Xu Hai was about to respond when Mr. Shaoyuan stopped him and said, "I gave the order, so if you want to find it, come to me!" Xiang Shaolong shot a sharp look in his eyes, and said to Mr. Shaoyuan: "If Xu Hai can block my three swords without dying, then let's let this matter go!" Everyone fell silent. Some people even thought that Xiang Shaolong was trying to play it perfunctory. One must know that Xiang Shaolong's swordsmanship is excellent, but it is unimaginable to kill a master like Xu Hai with three swords. Of course, Mr. Shaoyuan didn't believe that he could kill Xu Hai with just three swords. He was secretly happy, thinking that if his three swords failed, he would lose his prestige. , don’t blame anyone.” Xiang Shaolong looked up to the sky and laughed for a while, pulled out the Feihong sword that Zhao Mu gave with a "clang", pointed at Xu Hai and said, "Come on!" Everyone on both sides stepped back, revealing an open space. Xu Hai grinned grimly, and drew out his sword. He had witnessed Xiang Shaolong and Lian Jin's Zhao Gong battle, and knew his sword skills.I thought to myself, can't I even block your three swords?Make up your mind, stick to it and cooperate with the dodge, so that Xiang Shaolong has nowhere to show his strength. Cheng Xu, Ding Shou and Mrs. Ya all thought that Xiang Shaolong was taking this opportunity to step down.Sighing secretly that this is also a way out of no way. Xiang Shaolong took a deep breath, placed the Feihong sword on his shoulder, and forced it towards Xu Hai. Xu Hai stretched out his arms, raised his long sword in front of his chest, and pointed at Xiang Shaolong's throat, trying not to give Xiang Shaolong the opportunity to fight melee, and used it strategically. Both onlookers seemed to have foreseen the result of Xiang Shaolong's retreat without success. At this time Xiang Shaolong was about two steps ahead of Xu Hai's sword.I didn't know what was on my foot, slipped, lost momentum, and fell to one side. Mrs. Ya's daughters were most concerned about Xiang Shaolong, and they cried out in horror. Mr. Shaoyuan and all his subordinates were overjoyed, and they drank in unison to cheer Xu Hai. Xu Hainai is a master of swordsmanship, how could he let go of such a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, let out a loud shout, and charged forward, stabbing Xiang Shaolong with his long sword and lightning. How did he know that Xiang Shaolong was using the swordsmanship that they discussed just now, "Soldiers are not tired of deceit", because if it was normal, he might not be able to kill a strong professional swordsman like Xu Hai with ten swords, and he could only succeed if he was induced to make moves. An opportunity to take advantage of. Just when the long sword reached his chest, he stood firm, and at the same time leaned back with his astonishing waist strength, his upper and lower body almost twisted into a 90-degree right angle like a slingshot. The long sword passed over him. Xu Hai never dreamed that the other party would make such a strange move. He stabbed the air with his sword, but because of too much force, he still rushed forward. Shaolong kicked. Xu Hai hissed in pain, the long sword flew out, but his body fell back. Xiang Shaolong's waist was bent back again, and the Feihong sword resting on his shoulder turned into a light and wiped Xu Hai's throat. "boom!" When Xu Hai fell to the ground with his back to the sky, he had already turned into a lifeless corpse. The audience was silent for a moment, followed by Xiang Shaolong's loud applause. Everyone on Mr. Shaoyuan's side was ashamed, their arrogance completely gone. Xiang Shaolong looked at Mr. Shaoyuan coldly, and said indifferently: "Mr. Shaoyuan is a body of a thousand pieces of gold, we dare not offend you, but if your slaves commit crimes, don't blame my subordinates for being merciless." Mr. Shaoyuan's eyes shot out deep hatred, his lips trembled, but he couldn't speak.He stomped his feet violently and turned to leave. Xiang Shaolong shouted loudly: "Go slowly! Master, will you let your servants die in the wilderness?" Lord Shaoyuan was ashamed and angry, ordered Xu Hai to be lifted up, and left angrily. All the imperial guards burst into cheers, and even Cheng Xu and the others showed a sincere look, feeling that Xiang Shaolong handled it very beautifully, and it suppressed Mr. Shaoyuan completely. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ After Mr. Shaoyuan left, Xiang Shaolong felt that something was wrong. After confessing a few words, he returned to his tent and sent someone to guard the door, refusing to visit him. The parts were taken out and spread out on the ground. These parts are shiny and meticulously crafted, which amazed Xiang Shaolong. He never imagined that during the Warring States period, the technology of smelting had developed to such a high level. The first thing to install is a set of hooks for climbing over the wall.It is his must-have treasure in the special forces. It shoots out a long rope with a mechanical spring and hangs it on the wall or any stressful place. Then buckle the hook on the waist to the rope to climb up or slide down. The special forces used steel cables, but now they can only be replaced by flexible hemp ropes. Although the structure is simple, and Xiang Shaolong himself has always been interested in and familiar with this kind of gadgets, it took until late at night to roughly complete them. When she was looking at the masterpiece in her hands with satisfaction, Madam Ya's displeased voice came from outside the tent and said: "Who dares to stop me!" Xiang Shaolong didn't even have time to put away his things, Madam Ya had already rushed in, seeing the strange things at the table, she was stunned and said: "Shaolong! What are you doing?" Xiang Shaolong gave an embarrassed smile, buckled the two-piece climbing rope back into the box, and said with a wry smile: "Don't you need to listen to me?" Mrs. Ya softened immediately, sat in his arms, and said quietly: "I sent Xiao Zhao to look for you many times, but the guards blocked them all, thinking that you had annoyed him because of Mr. I came to look for you, how dare I not listen to you!" Then he couldn't help asking: "What is that?" Xiang Shaolong said perfunctorily: "It's just some small gadgets, but sometimes they have unexpected effects." Mrs. Ya stretched out her slender hand, picked up a string of long iron branches that were either bent or had a small fork at one end, and said with a thoughtful expression, "Is this for unlocking?" Xiang Shaolong knew he couldn't hide it from her as an expert, so he nodded helplessly. Madam Ya turned around, her beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, she stared at him for a long time before she said: "I feel more and more that you are unfathomable, just now you tried to kill Xu Hai and reported to Zhao Er Qiu, and also let out a bad breath for me, Ya'er is really grateful to you, and is willing to do anything for you." Xiang Shaolong saw her gentle and pleasant demeanor, and rewarded her with a long kiss, then leaned into her small ear and said, "Promise me! Don't tell anyone what you see now, okay?" Mrs. Ya kissed him fascinatedly, her mind was intoxicated, she nodded willingly, her beautiful eyes were half closed, and she said coquettishly: "Xiang Lang's words are the highest order for others, since I know you don't want me to ask about this matter , Ya'er will not ask any more questions from now on." Xiang Shaolong was very pleased with her understanding, and took the opportunity to ask her to find someone to sew him an inner armor tied around his waist, so that he could carry the thousands of flying needles. Yes readily agreed. That night, the lover was in love with his concubine, and it was indescribably warm and lingering. On the road the next morning. Mr. Shaoyuan fell silent and fell to the end, with a posture that was incompatible with them, but there were no new provocative actions. Xiang Shaolong's sense of inappropriateness became stronger. Mr. Shaoyuan, who has been arrogant since he was a child, is by no means a person who can hold his breath. He is so calm now, it must be that there are other arrangements to deal with him in the Wei state. The third princess, Zhao Qian, sat in the carriage with the curtain hanging down all day, and when she got out of the carriage, she covered her face with a gauze curtain, hid in the tent surrounded by the curtain, and did not take a step forward, which made Xiang Shaolong feel that it was not a taste. . Xiao Xing stayed overnight in this way, and finally arrived at Zixian County, the fortress closest to the Great Wall on the border of Zhao State, in the afternoon of the fourth day.General Wache, the city guard, was very respectful to the wedding group and hosted a banquet in the general's mansion to entertain them.Zhao Qian and Mrs. Ya's daughters, of course, didn't come to the banquet, and Mrs. Pingyuan's mother and son couldn't make excuses to come. Fortunately, the tile cart was humorous and witty, and the guests and hosts still had a good time. After the banquet, Wache led Xiang Shaolong to visit the border defense of Zhao State, the magnificent city wall extending to infinity on both sides along with the undulating mountains. Stepping on the top of the city, Xiang Shaolong remembered that in the future, Qin Shihuang would build these winding city walls at the border defenses of various countries and connect them one after another to form the Great Wall, one of the ten wonders of the world, so that China can maintain a unified situation for a long time , I couldn't help expressing the deep feelings of "thinking about the future", and felt emotional. These walls are thick and high, and the moat in front of the city is deep and wide, which was indeed the best defense facility at that time. In the distance, surrounded by a big river, it is magnificent and spectacular. Wache pointed to the endless bare wilderness outside the city wall, and smiled: "This is the ugliest place in my Dazhao, but it is man-made. Every once in a while, we have to cut down all the trees outside the city. Not even stones are left behind, and everything that can be brought into the city is transported away, and nothing is left to the enemy that can be used to attack the city." Xiang Shaolong thought to himself that this was a solid wall and clearing the wilderness. Looking at the watchtowers that were set up every hundred feet, he praised: "With such a barrier, how can we be afraid of the enemy's invasion?" The tile cart pointed to the large river that surrounded the city in the distance: "Our Great Wall, which stretches for hundreds of miles, relies entirely on the natural danger of the Zhangshui River and the fortification of the mountains. It is mainly used to defend the Wei and Qin countries." Xiang Shaolong agreed: "Building the city in a dangerous place is really crucial. Our Great Wall is built on the hillside, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack." The Great Wall is like a pair of powerful arms of giants, holding Zhao Guo tightly in their safe arms. Wache said proudly: "In order to deal with the enemy's various siege methods, such as accumulating soil, ladders, digging tunnels, water attacks, attacks by ants along the city, or even siege equipment such as stone bombers and nest carts, we I have modified the city wall many times, and now I am not boasting, even if it is as fierce as the Qin army, and we have no foreign aid, we can still block him for a few months at any time." Then he showed him all kinds of defensive weapons, such as crossbows, halberds, spears, collars, axes, long vertebrae, long sickles, long axes, base stones, thorns and other weapons.There are also various four-wheeled wooden carts for transporting soil and carrying people, which opened Xiang Shaolong's eyes. There are a large amount of water and sand and stones hidden in the city, as well as containers such as water tanks, tiles and poppy, as well as fire stoves and cauldrons, etc., to deal with the enemy's fire attack, or to water the enemies who climbed up the city. Xiang Shaolong kept them in mind one by one, thinking that maybe one day he would have to rely on these primitive but effective tools to defend the city, so he wouldn't be at a loss what to do. Wache finally said: "The key to defending the city is not only to take all defensive measures, but also to have enough food and fuel. More importantly, there are soldiers who defend inside and rescue troops outside. The so-called army who has no need to save , there is no city that must be defended.” Xiang Shaolong nodded his head to accept the instruction, but thinking of Zhao Guo's frailty, he couldn't help feeling sorry for him!I really want to bring the traitor Zhao Mu to have a look, so that he can experience what it's like to face the enemy at any time, and teach him not to dare to just hide in the seemingly safe Handan, thinking all day long about how to squeeze out loyal ministers and good generals. It was not until dusk that Xiang Shaolong returned exhausted. Returning to the hotel where he lived sojourn, Xiang Shaolong's heart skipped a beat, and he used the excuse of paying his respects to Mrs. Ping Yuan, and went to the east hall to meet this woman with power across Wei and Zhao countries. It just so happened that Mr. Shaoyuan was not there, and Mrs. Pingyuan received him in the main hall of the East Chamber after the messenger delivered the report. It was the first time for Xiang Shaolong to see Mrs. Ping Yuan, and he saw that she was born graceful and beautiful, and because of her well-maintained appearance, her appearance was much younger than her actual age. From a distance, she looked like thirty people, but when she looked closely, she noticed that the corners of her eyes were wearing makeup. There are shallow wrinkles on the bottom, but it still doesn't detract from her elegance. Her hair was combed into a ponytail, towering high, and then fell to one side, seemingly falling but not falling, trembling, making her more feminine. Wearing an embroidered Nylon skirt, fully embroidered silk shoes, the hairpin on the head is inlaid with tortoiseshell, and the ears are wearing pearl earrings, which are dazzling and dazzling. Xiang Shaolong didn't expect that after having such a big and bad "child", she still maintained such a handsome appearance, he was very surprised, and after saluting, he sat down in Xiashouli. Mrs. Ping Yuan, who was standing with four maids behind her, also looked at Xiang Shaolong attentively, but her expression was cold and there was no trace of joy, which made the atmosphere quite awkward. Xiang Shaolong opened his mouth and said: "Ma'am, you have worked hard on the road. If there is any dereliction of duty or lack of thoughtfulness in my humble position, Ma'am, please feel free to blame me." Mrs. Ping Yuan looked at him indifferently and said, "How dare you blame your lord?" Xiang Shaolong knew that she had offended her son because she had offended her, so he was about to leave with an excuse, Mrs. Ping Yuan waved back the maid, and said solemnly: "A person who knows current affairs is a hero, but I don't know if Xiang Bingwei knows People with current affairs?" Xiang Shaolong thought it was a good show, and said respectfully: "Madam, please guide Shaolong." Mrs. Ping Yuan said coldly: "If you can't even see your own situation clearly, I don't want to bother you." Xiang Shaolong screamed loudly, and said: "Good birds choose trees to live in, but if there are rotten trees that are difficult to live in, don't they have the ambition to fly high and have no place to rest?" You must know that what the two of them are talking about now is likely to betray Zhao Guo, so Xiang Shaolong deliberately used metaphors to avoid being framed by Mrs. Ping Yuan with her sore feet. Firstly, he didn't think it was a thing to betray King Zhao; secondly, if he could curry favor with this woman, the trip to Wei might be much easier.Otherwise, if she said a few words to him in front of Lord Xinling, she would teach him to walk around endlessly. Mrs. Ping Yuan seemed to appreciate his words very much, a smile escaped from the corner of her mouth, and she said softly: "The strongest person in the world now is Qin. However, the people of Qin are tigers and wolves, and they have deep racial prejudices. His unworldly achievements are still the disaster of the clan, so we can see that there are many factors to be considered in choosing a tree for a good bird." Xiang Shaolong was secretly surprised that the other party saw it, and for a moment he couldn't figure out whether she was trying to attract him, so he asked tentatively: "Does Madam know about the matter between me and your son?" Mrs. Ping Yuan put on a pretty face and said coldly: "A young man who doesn't care about anything will only be humiliated. Shaolong ignores him. When will it be his turn to make decisions?" Then she smiled slightly and said, "If you hadn't seen that you have both civil and military resources, in that situation You can still trap and kill Xu Hai, I am not interested in talking to you." Xiang Shaolong felt chilled for a while, people in this era really regard human life as worthless, and seeing that she is so shrewd and powerful, he knew not to offend her, so he respectfully said: "Madam, please point out a bright way." Mrs. Ping Yuan's attitude became much more intimate, and she said softly: "Shaolong should also be aware of the situation in Zhao State, King Zhao favors Zhao Mu, this person will definitely not tolerate you, but do you know the reason?" Xiang Shaolong sighed: "Looks like it's because I snatched his Mrs. Ya!" Mrs. Ping Yuan's phoenix eyes were fixed, she shot a cold light, and said coldly: "You underestimate Zhao Mu too much, how could he abandon such a rare talent like you for the sake of a slut who can do her best." Xiang Shaolong felt extremely uncomfortable hearing her say Zhao Ya like that.But I have to admit that what she said is the truth, at least the former Zhao Ya was like this.At the same time, curiosity arose, and he asked in surprise, "Then what is the reason?" Mrs. Pingyuan showed a mysterious smile and said, "Because King Zhao has taken a fancy to you." Xiang Shaolong's scalp immediately went numb, and he lost his voice: "What?" Seeing his appearance, Mrs. Pingyuan smiled coquettishly and said, "You are really stupid. If Xiaocheng hadn't looked at you differently, how could I have given you such a good job." Then she took a deep look at him, pursed her lips and said with a smile: Anyone who likes a man will never let you go, Shaolong, be careful." Xiang Shaolong saw that her eyebrows became affectionate, full of spring, his eyes couldn't help falling on her tall breasts, he felt itchy in his heart, but then there was a deep hatred of Yinnv's death for her son, so he could only press the button forcefully The provocative words came out of his mouth, and he sighed: "I understand, so Zhao Mu will use all means to put me to death, but I am also worried that Lord Shaoyuan is plotting to deal with me!" Mrs. Pingyuan smiled inscrutably, and replied with a cold expression: "Let's not talk about this matter first, Shaolong, tell me frankly, who in the world has the prestige to deal with the invasion of the Qin thieves? " Xiang Shaolong was stunned for a moment, and asked himself that he still had only a half-knowledge of the situation in the Warring States period, and he really couldn't think of such a person.But she had to answer, otherwise Mrs. Ping Yuan would be very bored. While thinking about it, Mrs. Pingyuan guided him softly: "Didn't Shaolong even know who solved the predicament in Handan six years ago?" Xiang Shaolong said excitedly, "It's Lord Xinling!" In 258 BC, King Zhao of Qin sent a general to attack Zhao and besieged Handan heavily. The State of Wei sent Jin Bi to help him, but he was threatened by King Qin's false words. Lord Xinling used Hou Ying's strategy to steal the military talisman, and then ordered the strongman Zhu Hai to kill Jin Bi and seize his army. In the next year, Lord Xinling defeated the Qin army under the city of Handan, and even the leader of the Qin Dynasty, Zheng Anping, surrendered to the Zhao people. This battle caused the prestige of Qin State to plummet, but Lord Xinling became a man admired by the world.However, Lord Xinling also angered the King of Wei because of this incident, and he could not return home. After staying in Zhao State for several years, Lord Pingyuan died last year, and he returned to Wei State. Now it's Mrs. Pingyuan's turn to return to Wei. Naturally, Lord Xinling has once again consolidated his power, so she invited Mrs. Pingyuan back. Mrs. Pingyuan said happily: "Now only Lord Xinling has the prestige to call on the world to fight against the Qin people, so unless Shaolong wants to join the Qin people, this is the only choice for shelter. If I am willing to recommend it, I guarantee it can be reused." you." Xiang Shaolong knew that the only way was to use reinforcements. Fortunately, no matter how shrewd she was, she still never dreamed that she had Qin Shihuang's chess piece. She got up and thanked her: "Thank you Madam for your help!" The two still wanted to continue talking, but Jun Shaoyuan rushed in excitedly and shouted: "Mother!" Mrs. Ping Yuan said angrily: "Shut up!" Turning to Xiang Shaolong, he said, "The soldiers and guards will step down first, and I will talk to you about what happened just now in detail later." Xiang Shaolong thought to himself, Mr. Shaoyuan, that you came at a good time, so he hurriedly bid farewell and left.
