Chapter 53 Chapter Eight: The Secret of Yingzheng

Xiang Shaolong sits alone in the secluded forest garden of Yinlongju. An artificial spring flows out from a rock gap, forming a meandering stream.At this time, the stream is almost completely frozen, leaving only a little spring water in the middle, which is a strange phenomenon. Wu Tingfang and others did not dare to disturb him. Thinking up and down in my heart, I remembered the scene when I met Zhao Ya for the first time on Handan Long Street, how I used my means to conquer her.He also thought of Zhao Mu's slapstick in the car, and she couldn't help being promiscuously teased.Then she will empathize and move away, which is actually a sign, because she can't stand the teasing of any man at all.

She just acted rashly, without caring about right and wrong, otherwise she would not know that Zhao Mu was a disaster for the country and the people, and would still have a fierce fight with him, and would not leave him until she was hurt by him.If Zhao Ni and Zhao Qian were replaced, how could they be threatened to deal with him. But he still trusted her wishfully, only saw her charming and beautiful side, and believed in her sweet words. Of course, if he soars in Zhao Guo, their relationship may continue.Now it proves that she can't stand the test of desire for profit. People in this era love to use "intellectual tricks", and the more people in high positions, the more so.

Cheng Xu, who had been in trouble together, changed his face and never missed his old love, which also made him heartbroken. The world is full of icing on the cake, and giving charcoal in a timely manner is rare and rare. While thinking about it, he unconsciously followed Mozi's meditation method to exercise breath and stop thinking, and he immediately felt refreshed, and suddenly he was awakened by the sound of footsteps. It turned out that it was Tao Fang who came to him. Seeing the old friend with a happy face, he went to the big stone beside him to shake off Boxue and sat down, saying: "That kid is worse than expected, he finally confessed."

Xiang Shaolong counted the time, if he started to ask yesterday, at least he was exhausted and bombarded him for more than 30 hours, it was definitely not easy to bear, he said happily: "What's the inside story?" Tao Fang said with a bit of a tone: "Actually, he is just a person who brings information. He doesn't know the details of Zhao Mu at all. He only reports the affairs of Chu State verbally, and then passes Zhao Mu's words back to Wenxin Jun of Chu State. Leng, that is a minister favored by King Chu." Xiang Shaolong said: "What is Zhao Mu preaching this time?"

Tao Fang said dejectedly: "Just say that Wen Xinjun will send someone to send a gift in three months time, that's a bit special. Others are ordinary news such as Xiao Wei Mou being killed recently." Xiang Shaolong's heart moved and he asked, "Are you still interrogating him?" Tao Fang said: "Of course! I'm afraid he's talking nonsense, so I rely on your words and keep forcing him to repeat the details to see if there are any inconsistencies." Xiang Shaolong said: "Has he been to Handan before?" Tao Fang shook his head and said, "This is the first time he has contacted Zhao Mu, in order to avoid others getting suspicious, I believe they send different people every time."

Xiang Shaolong said: "How long will it take to go back and forth between Chu and Zhao?" Tao Fang said: "If you go fast, there will be many checkpoints, but the one-way journey will take two months. That's why I suspect this kid is lying." Xiang Shaolong is proficient in espionage methods, and said with a smile: "No, he didn't lie, it's a code word to prevent being forced to confess, three months may be halved, but it actually refers to half a year, giving gifts is irony, I've already I thought that if Zhao Mu was sent by the state of Chu, he would never let the "Secret Records of Lu Gong" fall into Zhao's hands, so what he really meant was that the people of Chu would send experts to steal the secret records back half a year later. Mu is really loyal to the state of Chu."

Tao Fang suddenly said: "It turns out that this is an irony. It is true to take gifts, not to give them. Chu people are really cunning, and Marquis Wen Xin knew what "gift" refers to, so he knew it when he heard it." Xiang Shaolong's eyes shone brightly: "The most important thing is to find out what identity he is pretending to be in Handan, and what kind of communication method he used. The more details the better. I am worried that I won't be able to kill Zhao Mu. This trip is really exciting." Tao Fang began to understand his thoughts and went excitedly.

After Tao Fang left, Jing Jun came to look for him, looking listless. Xiang Shaolong stood up and said with a smile: "Looks like class is not that interesting, is it?" Jing Jun came in front of him and said dejectedly: "Pull me out of my mind, and I dare not offend my future father-in-law, and I spent a lot of money to buy ten catties of bacon for him, but in the end I couldn't even touch Zhao Zhi's little hands." .” Xiang Shaolong said: "Can't you see her?" Jing Jun sighed: "What's the use of seeing it? With so many classmates, do you really go over and touch her? I think most of them go to class because of her."

Xiang Shaolong laughed dumbly and said, "Is she also in class?" Jing Jun shook his head and said: "At the beginning, she was sitting in a corner, which tricked me into thinking that she was accompanying me in class. After a while, she laughed and ran away without a trace. I couldn't find her after class. Alas! Even if you force me with a sword, you won’t go there again.” Xiang Shaolong shook his head and sighed: "I'm too impatient, how can I win the heart of a beauty." Jing Jun just shook his head. Xiang Shaolong said: "Accompany me outside for a walk."

The two changed into ordinary attire, got into the carriage, left the castle, and slipped out of the carriage at the corner. Jing Jun hung him from a distance to see if anyone was following. Half an hour later, Xiang Shaolong saw Pu Bu in a dense forest in the south of the city. Pu Bu excitedly said: "Things went smoothly than expected. Zheng Yueming, Zhao Mu's number one subordinate, recruited all of us. I'm not boasting. Our group of warriors, Yu Pingyuan, were really respectable in Handan when Lord Pingyuan was alive." Xiang Shaolong said, "What news?" Pu Bu said apologetically, "We have just settled down, and we can't hear anything. It seems that it hasn't been a year or so, and it's hard to gain their trust."

Xiang Shaolong said: "It doesn't matter, you just stay there for a while, I will come back to find you when the time comes, and I will lead you away after completing a major event." Pu Bu said: "Everything is under the command of Lord Xiang." After a pause, he said: "Master Xiang! We only want to follow you." Xiang Shaolong said sincerely: "I understand, I will definitely not let down your great love and expectations for me." After the two had worked out how to communicate, Xiang Shaolong said, "Do you know that there is a Qi person named Qi Yu?" Pu Bu said: "Master Xiang is a very good question. The first mission of Liu Chao and I is to be his bodyguards and play with him around. Hey! This kid is really good at women. When those girls see him, they all look like The bee clings to the nectar." Xiang Shaolong felt a pain in his heart, thinking of Mrs. Ya, he said in a low voice, "Did you accompany him to see Mrs. Ya?" Pope said: "That's not true, but he slipped out of the embassy without anyone to accompany him last night, maybe he went to find her." Xiang Shaolong said: "Don't tell anyone about this, okay! If there is nothing special, please don't contact me, and no matter what Zhao Mu has done against me, don't come to inform me. Remember." Pu Bu knew that he was very wise and scheming, so although it was unreasonable to say this, there must be a trick in it.I definitely agreed. After breaking up, Xiang Shaolong returned to Wufu, and unexpectedly found that Wu Yingyuan, Wu Zhuo and Teng Yi were all waiting for him. In the secret meeting room, the most important figures of the Wu family: Wu Shiji, Wu Yingyuan, Wu Zhuo, Tao Fang and Xiang Shaolong were all present, and Teng Yi was added, showing that he was related to Xiang Shaolong He performed outstandingly and won the trust of everyone in the Wu family. This is the most important meeting about the survival of the Wu family. Wu Zhuo first reported: "Teng Yi and I selected 500 people from the 2,000 elite according to Uncle Sun's instructions, and tested them one by one according to the method suggested by Uncle Sun. Hey! Unexpectedly, only seventy-seven people could pass the test. We'll start training them tomorrow, but I'm sure these are fighters who can stop a hundred with one." Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, "You only have ten days, so master it well." Everyone was amazed and asked why he must only have ten days? Xiang Shaolong sighed, and told the whole thing, only concealing the fake Ying Zheng because he had promised to keep it a secret. Wu Yingyuan frowned and said: "Then how do you get her mother and child out? Wouldn't it be worse to get poisoned and die?" Xiang Shaolong said confidently: "There is another twist in this matter, but when Zhu Ji was about to speak out, Zhao Mu came and interrupted it. Anyway, it can be left to me." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and returned to hope. Teng Yi listened coldly, his face didn't change a bit, giving people a resolute and heroic posture. Tao Fang praised: "Shaolong is really clever, and he used Zhao Ya to deceive Zhao Wang and Zhao Mu. It seems that no matter what we do in the past ten days, they will not interfere." Wu Shizhen nodded and said: "If there is no Shaolong, we will be defeated this time, not a single tile will be left." Turning to his son, he said: "Is the pasture on the side of Qin State messed up?" Everyone was surprised, only then did they know that Wu Yingyuan had actually gone to deploy in Qin territory. Wu Yingyuan said: "I have chosen four places to operate the pastures. Two years ago, I sent experienced veterans to deal with them. Now they are quite large and can barely accommodate the materials and livestock we removed. Hmph! I really want to see them with my own eyes. See the expression on the face of King Xiaocheng, that faint king after we left." Xiang Shaolong couldn't help asking: "There are so many animals in the pasture, and there are Zhao soldiers stationed along the way, how can we go?" Wu Yingyuan said with a smile: "We won't move half of the grass in this pasture, but only a few livestock farms close to the Qin border. In the past few years, we have used the excuse of dealing with the Qin people to continuously expand the pastures on the border. The best All the cattle are sent there." Tao Fang interjected: "On the surface, the Zhao people still maintain a good relationship with our Wu family. The border guards don't know what's going on here. As long as the Qin people agree, it's not difficult to move all the animals, let alone we only send them away. The best animals for breeding." Wu Zhuo said: "There are many children of the Wu family in the frontier guard Zhao Jun who I specially intervened to change their names and surnames. It is very convenient to do things." Xiang Shaolong admired it in his heart, in order to save Yingzheng's mother and son, Wu Yingyuan started doing kung fu a few years ago, that's why he is so relaxed and calm now. Teng Yi said nonchalantly, "There won't be any livestock left for the Zhao people, right?" Wu Zhiji said lightly: "Of course!" Xiang Shaolong couldn't bear it in his heart, he thought of the horrible scene of cattle and horse corpses all over the pasture, but this was also a helpless thing, he had to do it as a last resort.Changing the subject, he said, "The most important thing now is how many days we can keep the castle. The longer we are able to escape, the more certain we will be." Teng Yi and Tao Fang had just heard about the secret way, so they understood what he meant. Because Zhao people thought they were trapped in the castle and would not send people to chase them, and Zhu Ji and her son could leave the city through the tunnel, so the longer they guarded, the farther they fled. Even before the border guards received the news, Good morning arrived in Xianyang. Wu Zhuo said: "This matter is on me and Teng Yi. In the past few days, I will secretly transport the supplies of soldiers and equipment for defending the city from the tunnel and hide them. Brother Teng will be responsible for training the tactics of defending the city." Wu Yingyuan said to Tao Fang: "Mr. Tao had better transfer the outsiders to other places, and dismiss the servants who are irrelevant as much as possible. The singers should choose the best ones and send them out of the city, but they have to pretend to be secret." Everyone except Teng Yixiang Shaolong laughed.The former has seldom smiled since the tragic death of his wife and children. Xiang Shaolong, on the other hand, remembered Wu Zhiji's decision to die with Bao, and couldn't help but say, "Grandpa—" Wu Shiji interjected: "This matter can only be washed away with blood, so that the descendants of the Wu family will never forget their hatred with the Zhao people. Anyone who wants to deal with the Wu family will have to pay a heavy price." After sighing softly, with a nostalgic look in his eyes, he said slowly: "Our ancestors were nobles from the Qin State. They were forced to exile to the Zhao State because of the struggle. It was with their perseverance and unyielding spirit that they set up pastures in the barren mountains and wilderness, and became the king of the world. The leading animal husbandry king. Now my descendants have finally returned home, and I can die vigorously. This is the end of my life, what more can I ask for." Wu Zhuo was silent, while Wu Yingyuan and Tao Fang looked sad. Teng Yi had a look of respect in his eyes, and said with emotion: "Good man!" Wu Shiyan smiled happily, stood up hard and said: "So these few days I want to enjoy myself to my heart's content, don't bother me if there is nothing to do." He laughed, and left the room humming a little tune under the watchful eyes of everyone. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Teng Yi and Xiang Shaolong walked side by side towards the inner house, and asked, "How do you plan to deal with Qian'er?" Xiang Shaolong knew that he loved this beautiful princess, and he was afraid that he would leave her behind, so he promised, "I will take her with me no matter what." Teng Yi let go of his worries and turned to look for Wu Zhuo. In the evening of the same day, Wu Shizhen secretly held a wedding ceremony for Xiang Shaolong and Wu Tingfang, and took Tingfang's family as his concubine, officially confirming his name. That night, Xiang Shaolong and Jing Jun sneaked into the Proton Mansion again. Xiang Shaolong was familiar with it, avoided the guards at the sentry post, and came to Zhu Jixiang's boudoir, where the two hid on the couch, talking in secret. Zhu Ji's charming face shared the pillow with him, and her jade body squeezed him tightly without any scruples. Since she was lying on her side, the charming breath was sent into his ear cavity rhythmically with her breath. Men can resist. Fortunately, Xiang Shaolong cast his eyes on the top of the tent, otherwise, if he was caught by her pair of winking eyes, he would definitely lose his temper and do something he shouldn't do. In this era of high patriarchy, women know how to control men with their natural capital.Zhu Ji is just the epitome of this kind of daji-style beauties.Otherwise, King Zhuang Xiang would not be obsessed with her, and Zhao Mu, a bisexual, and doctor Guo Kai, a shrewd person, would not be infatuated with her at the same time. Zhu Ji didn't talk about the business, but said first: "You didn't fall in love with that whore Zhao Yan, did you?" Xiang Shaolong thought to himself that a woman is a woman, time is precious, and Zhu Ji has the leisure to take care of such nosy matters, so he could only follow her words: "Are you familiar with her?" Zhu Ji said disdainfully: "Zhao Mu used to bring her to my place from time to time, do you think I am acquainted with her?" Xiang Shaolong remembered that Zhao Ya had hinted that he had an affair with the fake Ying Zheng, and it seemed that it was this kind of absurd thing he did under Zhao Mu's instruction. Emotional responsibility. Zhu Ji chuckled suddenly, and said proudly: "Although Zhao Mu is cunning, he is definitely not our opponent. You should know how to make good use of this whore!" Xiang Shaolong yelled inwardly, and let her know what he was doing. He took a deep breath and said, "This time, it is thanks to her help." He couldn't help but said, "Ma'am! Where is your son?" Zhu Ji said: "Tell me your plan first, let me see if it is feasible, and then tell you." Xiang Shaolong had gone through many changes, and learned to only speak a few words when meeting people, and told her the plan in a nutshell, but concealed the most important link of the Wujia Tunnel, and changed it to leave the city from the west of the city. Zhu Ji was very satisfied, kissed his cheek tenderly, caressed his broad chest with her delicate hands, and said coquettishly: "Your waist is hard, what is stuck there?" Xiang Shaolong said: "It's a tool that can fly over eaves and walls and a flying needle that kills people invisible." Zhu Ji's expression changed, "Does Zhao Ya know your ability?" Xiang Shaolong thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "Although she has seen it before, I never explained how to use it, and she still seems to hope that I can escape alone, so she probably won't reveal it to Zhao Mu." Zhu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered: "We can't just rely on luck, can you bring me some strong drugs tomorrow night, if necessary, I will find a way to slip out by myself." Xiang Shaolong realized more and more that this woman is not simple, he frowned and said: "Even if we can charm the maid who guards you in the house, we cannot pass the guard. Don't trust Guo Kai, he is just lying to your body. " Zhu Ji smiled and said: "Only a fool will believe him. The person I want to confuse is him. This is the only way to escape that I have been thinking about for ten years. I want to confuse him because Seeing that his stature is not far from mine, you just need to put your boots up and tie something in your clothes like you." Then he sighed and said: "Oh! If you don't find something to do, you will be locked up and go crazy." After a pause, the tone of the voice changed into Guo Kai's soft and thin voice: " So I imitate his tone of voice and behavior every day, if I didn’t know that I would never escape, I would have slipped away.” Xiang Shaolong was overwhelmed by it, and praised him sincerely: "You have learned so well." The sound of footsteps came from outside the door, Xiang Shaolong hastily hid in the secret compartment.The maid opened the door and entered the room, opened the curtain and saw Zhu Ji who was pretending to be asleep, and then left in peace. Xiang Shaolong got out. Zhu Ji leaned over to hug him again and said, "Buwei has a man who is good at disguise—" Xiang Shaolong interrupted: "You must be talking about Xiao Yuetan, I just met him!" Zhu Ji said happily: "Now I really trust you without reservation. Alright! Let me tell you, although I don't know the art of disguise, I have learned some tricks from others because of my interest. Shi tries to pretend to be Guo Kai every day, confident that unless someone is familiar with him, he will never see the flaws." Xiang Shaolong sighed in his heart, from this we can see how eager Zhu Ji is to get out of this cage, and also see her perseverance and unyielding fighting spirit in the desperate situation. Zhu Ji said: "The most important thing you have to do is to bring me the drug. People are very strange. No matter whether they do good or bad deeds, they are hard to control at the beginning. So Zhao Ya will betray you completely sooner or later. With Zhao Mu's cautious and suspicious , will definitely send more people to guard this place.” Xiang Shaolong agreed: "I have a very bad feeling when I say this to you. If Zhao Mu knows that I have the ability to go high and low, I will definitely deal with it." He sat up while talking. Zhu Ji asked in surprise, "What are you doing?" Xiang Shaolong didn't answer him, moved to the window and looked out, just in time a group of guards passed by.After they left, he gestured to Jing Jun who was outside, and after a while, this kid came through the window like a civet cat. After Xiang Shaolong ordered him to go back to Wu's house to get the medicine, he watched him leave safely before returning to bed. Zhu Ji looked at him with wide eyes and said, "It turns out that there is such a skilled person helping you, no wonder Zhao Mu is so afraid of you." Xiang Shaolong said: "Madam, hurry up and tell me about the Crown Prince!" Zhu Ji calmly said: "Why are you in such a hurry? You have to wait for someone to bring something before you leave. You don't know how hard people are holding back, and it's hard for them to have someone to talk to." Xiang Shaolong was both angry and funny, and said softly, "I beg you?" Zhu Ji was very proud, and Meili rushed towards her, and said softly: "Shaolong! How about kissing my family?" Xiang Shaolong had no choice but to turn his face away, only to see her seductive winking eyes radiant with charm, staring at him without blinking. The two pairs of eyes met for a moment, and Zhu Jixiang's lips pressed against his mouth actively, and her delicate body gently rubbed and twisted towards him.Waves of ecstasy and bone-piercing sensations spread all over his body, and Xiang Shaolong's desire was soaring immediately, it was hard for him to control himself. Zhu Ji's fragrant lips moved a little, Hua Zhi shuddered and smiled lightly: "I thought you were a strange person who could not be tempted, so you are no different from other men." Xiang Shaolong was very angry, and because of this, he was distracted, suppressed his desire, and said slightly angrily: "Ma'am!" Zhu Ji stretched out two fingers, pressed on his mouth, and coaxed a child: "Don't get angry, I really want to make out with you!" When Xiang Shaolong had nothing to do with her, Zhu Ji said solemnly: "Back then, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Buwei and Yiren Langjun didn't take me away. At that time, I had just given birth to a child, and it was not yet full-term. After they left, I Knowing that the situation is not good, maybe Zheng'er will be killed by the Zhao people to vent their anger, so I sent the servants out overnight to find other babies to replace Zheng'er." Xiang Shaolong suddenly said: "So that's how the fake Ying Zheng in the house came about." Zhu Ji said distressedly: "If you do things in a hurry, there will naturally be mistakes and omissions, and you can't find a baby of the same age for a while, so you can only buy a three-year-old child with a lot of money. Fortunately, no one was a stranger at that time. He is a character, and he doesn't even know if he has children. Zhao Mu found out that night that Lu Buwei and the other man had fled, and came to kill all the servants in a vicious way, leaving only me and the fake son, and he didn't become suspicious." Only then did Xiang Shaolong suddenly realize, no wonder Ying Zheng's age does not match the historical records, the real situation is so twists and turns. The Battle of Changping took place in 260 BC. I have been here for more than a year, and it should be 249 BC, with an interval of eleven years. Assuming that Qin Shihuang was born after the defeat of Changping was reported to Zhao, the ancient information is inconvenient, and it may have been a year, so Ying Zheng should be born in the first year of the year after the Battle of Changping, then he was born in the second year of the A.D. When he ascended the throne in 1946, that is, three years later, he was exactly thirteen years old, which proved that the history books were correct. How stupid I am, I can't guess that Ying Zheng is fake.Things that I couldn't figure out before, I realized immediately.This makes sense, how could Qin Shihuang be a wimpy figure with his stature and generality. Zhu Ji took out a special style jade pendant engraved with phoenix patterns from her clothes, untied it and stuffed it into Xiang Shaolong's palm. Said softly: "The real Zheng'er was sent to a poor family in Handan who had just lost two sons in the Battle of Changping for foster care. It means that they will recognize each other with a jade pendant in the future. Zheng'er wears the same jade pendant around his neck. This one is a phoenix pattern, and that one is engraved with a dragon pattern." Xiang Shaolong said: "Does that couple know the origin of the prince?" Zhu Ji's eyes were full of joy but also worry, she was so nervous that her breath became short of breath, she gasped and said, "Of course I won't let them know, I just said that I'm the illegitimate son of a rich family, I didn't expect that I would be put under house arrest immediately. His servant was killed again, so I didn't have a chance to tell you about it until today when you came here. My God! You must find him for me, or I will not live." Feeling the lingering warmth of Zhu Ji's jade body from the jade pendant in his palm, Xiang Shaolong said confidently: "I guarantee with my head that he will be found." He is confident, otherwise history would not be like that. Zhu Ji moaned, "Don't make me happy." Xiang Shaolong said: "I am a person with supernatural powers, and my premonitions will never be wrong." After Zhu Ji looked at him dubiously for a while, she leaned into his ear and read out the name and address of the person who had adopted her son for ten years. Xiang Shaolong remembered it carefully. There was a light knock on the window and door, Jing Jun went back and forth, carrying a large bag of drugs in his hand, he came to the tent with a smile on his face, looked at Zhu Ji with all his eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and forgot to speak. Zhu Ji smiled "puchi" when she saw it, she was very charming. Xiang Shaolong scolded: "Xiao Jun!" Only then did Jing Jun return to his place of soul, and said: "This is a strong drug. Just a little bit can make people lie down for a day, and even cold water can't wake them up. This is enough to fascinate more than a hundred people." Suddenly, the sound of hooves sounded in the distance, from far to near. Zhu Ji and Xiang Shaolong were startled at the same time, knowing that Zhu Ji was right about Zhao Ya. Xiang Shaolong knew that Zhao Ya was not only getting deeper and deeper, but also under Zhao Mu's control again, otherwise Zhao Mu would not have sent someone to re-arm his defenses in the middle of the night, obviously it was Zhao Ya who revealed his skills on the bed Let Zhao Mu know. After hastily agreeing on the time and place of escape with Zhu Ji, the two left quickly. As soon as he climbed up the high wall, the guards had already swarmed from the fake Yingzheng's residence and deployed a new defense net. From this moment on, the strong mother of Qin Shihuang will rely on her own strength and wisdom to escape.
