Chapter 64 Chapter 8: Daredevil

The servant led Xiang Shaolong out of the imperial garden, along the corridor, through the garden, across the palace, and towards the outer palace. There are many sentry posts along the way, and the guards are heavily guarded. The security is obviously stronger than when he came last time. Xiang Shaolong was astonished, could it be that Qin Gong was preparing for something to happen? Thinking of Yang Quanjun hurting Jing Jun first, and then blatantly finding someone to ambush him on the long street, his behavior can be considered arrogant, and it is not uncommon for him to rebel. The question is how many people in the Qin military are on his side!

Of course he wasn't worried. History books have already stated that Lu Buwei was invincible before he was deposed by Qin Shihuang, and this was ten years later. While thinking, Xiao Pan's voice came from the left: "Teacher Xiang!" Xiang Shaolong followed the prestige in astonishment, and saw Xiaopan rushing out of a single-story wooden building covered with prunus bamboo, across the grass, and came to the corridor. The servants and guards kneeled on the ground in fright. Xiang Shaolong was wondering whether he should kneel down as the crown prince and grand tutor, Xiao Pan shouted: "Teacher is free!" and winked.

Xiang Shaolong knew the trick, walked to a corner with him, frowned and said, "Aren't you going to class?" Xiao Pan gasped and said, "I knew the Taifu would pass by here, so I have been paying attention." Xiang Shaolong said, "What do you have to say?" Xiao Pan was about to speak, when a sweet but angry female voice sounded behind the two of them, "Prince!" The two of them had ghosts in their hearts, they were startled, and looked where the sound came from. I saw a tall and slender woman with a beautiful face, with a swallowtail-shaped bun, wearing a step shaker on her head, and a plain white long gown, shining brightly under the sunlight, her steps were light and airy Immortals walked towards the two of them stepping on the green grass, her posture was as elegant and noble as a beautiful goddess who descended from the heaven.Especially the pair of wide sleeves hanging on both sides while walking, swaying lightly with the wind, further bringing out the peerless appearance with thousands of demeanors.

What is even more shocking is the outline of her face, which has a rare and clear sculptural beauty for women in this era. Her eyes are clear and clear, and her cheekbones are supposed to be a little higher, but it sets off her straight and powerful nose, which makes people feel The unique and shocking beauty also makes people feel that she is an independent and strong-willed beauty. Her pair of beautiful eyebrows are slender and charming, slanting to the temples, which set off her hair so that her eyes are dark and sparkling. Such veritable phoenix eyes and moth brows are full of classical beauty, and it is the first time Xiang Shaolong has seen its allure and uniqueness.

Even with Xiang Shaolong's current mood towards female sex, he couldn't help but be moved. The beautiful and straight breasts, the small waist that can't be squeezed, and the slender legs give her a kind of posture that is proudly superior to other women in this era. Compared with Ji Yanran, she is really good at each field, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. . But at this time, her pretty face was tense, as cold as ice, and she stared at Xiao Pan solemnly and said: "If you don't know, you can ask, if you can't, you can learn, and there is no one who can hear without learning. There is no one in ancient and modern times. Prince, you are distracted when you see something. If you don’t want to learn, how will you govern the country and the people in the future?”

Xiao Pan was a child after all, so naturally he timidly hid behind Xiang Shaolong, and it became a situation where the two masters were confronting each other head-on. The servant leading the way backed away in fright, fearing that it would hurt the fish in the pond. The guards all around kept their eyes straight, pretending they couldn't see anything. Although Qin Qing was angry, her expression was cold and composed, she was calm and composed, with her hands behind her back, she looked up at Xiang Shaolong, who was half a head taller than her, and said softly: "This is the Prince Zheng who is carrying it all day long. Xiang Taifu, right?"

Xiang Shaolong looked at her clean and dignified appearance with straight eyes and nose, put aside his reverie, and replied solemnly: "It's someone Xiang, Mr. Qin, please give me some advice!" Qin Qing smiled lightly and said, "Teacher Xiang is too polite! Prince! If you don't come out for me, a man dares to do something and needs to take responsibility." Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said, "It's not that serious, is it?" Qin Qing Yuyan turned cold and said: "There is a big problem with Mr. Xiang's words. He slipped out during his studies. It was only a trivial matter, but I saw it in a small way. When I become a monarch in the future, I will still have such a heart. Dealing with state affairs? If Grand Tutor Xiang only knows how to cover up and indulge the prince, how can he be worthy of the king who entrusts the prince with heavy responsibilities?"

Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said, "Don't say it so seriously, okay? I'm wrong, pull the white flag to surrender, okay?" He reached out and patted the small pan on his back, and said, "Prince Zheng! Come on! Show off your heroism as a man of courage and show off to Mrs. Qin to appreciate!" Qin Qing was dumbfounded when she heard that, how could an important minister talk like that, as if it was a joke. Xiao Pan stepped forward in response, and stood beside Xiang Shaolong, with his chest and stomach protruding, as if he was a man, with a small face holding back a smile, that appearance was extremely laughable.

Qin Qing's eyes fell on Xiao Pan's face, seeing that his little face was flushed because of holding back the laughter, knowing that he must never laugh, but still couldn't help laughing "puchi", turned his face away, and covered his face with his sleeve . Seeing this, Xiao Pan couldn't bear it anymore, and burst out laughing. Xiang Shaolong also couldn't help smiling. Smiles are the most contagious, especially in such a serious atmosphere, the guards around are all secretly laughing. Qin Qing lowered her sleeves, revealing her smiling face, frowned her crescent-like brows, and asked lightly, "Have you laughed enough?"

Xiao Pan and Xiang Shaolong were so frightened that they immediately stood still. It was really hard to stop the laughter. At this moment, not only Xiang Shaolong and Xiao Pan had strange expressions, but the beautiful widow was not much better either, with a forced face, she reprimanded: "There is no one who can know without learning, in ancient and modern times." But if you don’t study, if you don’t study, Prince Zheng will reflect on his behavior today, if he thinks he can’t concentrate, Qin Qing has no choice but to resign from the post of Taifu.” Xiao Pan hurriedly said: "Teacher Qin, Xiao Zheng doesn't dare, I promise there will be no next time. Sigh! What are you going to recite again this time?"

Qin Qing was obviously ruthless on the face, but in fact the pain was on the heart, and sighed: "As long as you reflect on your heart this time, it's fine! Let's stop here for today." Looking at Xiang Shaolong, before he had a chance to speak, Xiang Shaolong had already bowed to her gracefully, his gestures and movements were very pleasing to the eye. Qin Qing was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, avoiding his burning gaze, slightly bowed her body, turned around and went gracefully. Xiang Shaolong felt happy in his heart. Finally fulfilled his wish, seeing this peerless beauty who did not disappoint him.That's enough for him. Today's Xiang Shaolong no longer has the flamboyant mood he had when he "first arrived in the noble realm". ◇◇◇◇◇◇ When Xiang Shaolong returned to Wufu, his father-in-law Wu Yingyuan had just sent off a group of visiting dignitaries from the Qin Dynasty, and he was very happy. These days, Wu Yingyuan has carried out a friendly and social policy, constantly sending singers and good horses to the powerful Qin people, laying the foundation for a long-term stay in Qin, otherwise, even with the support of the King of Qin and Lu Buwei, there will be nothing great. The problem is that it is also a headache for people to be restrained everywhere in a small place. Wu Yingyuan is a businessman. He understands that regardless of nationality, nobles and commoners, they are all seeking fame and fortune. Therefore, in response to this point, he added tactful means to gradually open up the joints that were originally blocked. Xiang Shaolong's heart moved, he followed Wu Yingyuan back to the hall of the main house, sat down and told about Xiao Yuetan's delicate mask, and said: "I wanted to sneak back to Handan pretending to be a traveling businessman, and then captured Zhao Mu by surprise. No matter, but these masks have greatly boosted my son-in-law’s confidence, and he is determined to let go and do a lot.” How shrewd Wu Yingyuan is, he said with a smile: "There is absolutely no problem with money, hey! If you compare your wealth, Lu Xiang is probably no match for us." Then he lowered his voice and said: "Shall I get a group of singers to give you as gifts? " Xuan laughed again and said: "I'm so confused, they will reveal your details." Xiang Shaolong thought to himself how shameless I am, and I can't send women around like goods, and said with a smile: "I just want a batch of first-class war horses that won't reveal our background." Wu Yingyuan was slightly astonished and said, "Are you really going to do something big?" Xiang Shaolong praised Wu Yingyuan's listening to Xiange's elegant meaning: "Yuezhang really draws inferences from one instance to another. I really want to let go and fight King Xiaocheng and Zhao Mu to get rid of the resentment stuffed in my chest." Wu Yingyuan breathed out a cold breath and said, "My son-in-law is the most daring man I know, but you must have made the right move. When our Wu family left Zhao State, we poisoned all the livestock on the farm, making the Zhao people There is a shortage in the supply of war horses and livestock, if you bring your war horses to trade with them, it is guaranteed that they will welcome you." Xiang Shaolong said: "Not only do I want to do business with them, but they also want me to replace Wu's family to set up a ranch in Zhao country. Father-in-law is most familiar with this industry, what capacity should we appear in to win the trust of Zhao people?" Wu Yingyuan frowned and thought for a while, then clapped his hands and shouted: "I thought of it, there is a man who is famous for raising horses in Xiashui of Chu State, and his name is 'horse crazy' Dong Kuang. The reason why I think of this person is because He was originally from Zhao, but because his father Dong Ping offended the powerful, his family fled to Chu State. Dong Ping had become a petty official raising horses. Ma. If Shaolong pretends to be his descendant, firstly there will be no problem with his accent, secondly, no one has ever seen Dong Kuang before, and he can match his identity as a Chu person so that Zhao Mu can be tricked into believing that you are sent by Chu people to help. His spy. I can't think of a better impersonator." Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed and said: "It really can't be more ideal, can Yue Zhang get a dozen or so unmarked war horses, so that I can be a big farmer and herdsman?" Wu Yingyuan grabbed his shoulder and said with a smile: "How can a dozen or so horses make people look rich, at least hundreds to a thousand horses are needed, and there must be a mark, of course it is not the word "Wu" but the word "Dong" , it’s all on me.” Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "Only Lu Buwei should know about this matter, otherwise if the people of Qin find out, maybe they will tip off the news, and that would be bad." Wu Yingyuan shook his head and said: "It's best to hide this matter from Lu Buwei, so that it will be safe, don't worry! We don't need to drive hundreds of horses out of Qin Pass to make such a show, as long as I have a few days, I can handle it , but we need to make some arrangements on the route, so that Zhao people really think that you are going from Chu to Handan." Xiang Shaolong was very excited and interesting, and after discussing the details with him, he went back to the inner house. When passing by Teng Yi's residence, he suddenly heard the sound of swords clashing. He was surprised and walked in. After being instructed by the maid, he found Teng Yi in the small back garden. It turned out that this gentleman was playing swords with Shan Lan. Seeing Xiang Shaolong, Teng Yi showed sincere emotion on his face. After watching Shan Lan continue to fight with his men, he pulled Xiang Shaolong aside, and said happily: "Last night was really fun. All the frustrations and conflicts in the past few months The pain is relieved, now I only hope that Shanlan can give me a son, so that I can continue the incense of my Teng family, so as to prevent me from being the last sinner of the Teng family." Xiang Shaolong couldn't help laughing heartily. Old Teng Yi blushed, feigned anger and said: "If you laugh at me again, I will fight you." Xiang Shaolong laughed even harder. Teng Yi just shook his head. The next day, Xiang Shaolong led his lovely wife and maidservant, and brought Jing Jun who was mostly healed, together with Teng Yi, Wu Zhuo and the group of Wu family's most elite generals, back to the peaceful and comfortable countryside pasture. All other arrangements for going to Zhao will be handled by Wu Yingyuan and Tao Fang. Xiang Shaolong concentrated on accompanying his wives and concubines, and in his free time, he and Teng Yi stepped up training the "special forces" of the Wu family. Of course, instilling them with all the information prepared for the purpose of disguising their identities, so as not to reveal their flaws. Fifteen days later, Tao Fang came to the ranch and informed them that everything was in order. In the hall of the ranch mansion, everyone gathered together to hear the latest news about Handan. Tao Fang said: "Handan suddenly became lively. For some reason, Lord Longyang of Wei State and Han Chuang, the most powerful minister of Korea Pingshan, both went to Handan as envoys. There must be some conspiracy. They will also go there in the short term, the situation is very delicate." Xiang Shaolong, Teng Yi and others looked at each other, thinking of a rather bad problem. Tao Fang was an old man, he thought of the problem early, and sighed: "If the Chu State also sends envoys to Handan for this secret that we still don't know, although it may not be possible to reveal your false identity, but you will definitely not be able to tell Zhao Zhao. Mu pretended to be a Chu man who came to seize the "Secret Records of Lu Gong" at his request." Teng Yi sneered, pinched his fingers into a knife, and made a gesture of chopping and slaughtering.You must know that Chu State is the farthest from Zhao. If you act quickly, there is a good chance to intercept the envoy of Chu before he arrives at Zhao. Wu Zhuo said with a smile: "Leave this matter to me. Anyway, we all need to send out vanguard troops to get in touch with Zhao Mu so that he can open up the joints of King Xiaocheng for us, so that Zhao Renda will open the city gates to welcome us. .” Then he asked Tao Fang, "Is Zhao Mu and Hun Jun reconciled as before?" Tao Fang sighed: "King Xiaocheng is really a foolish king. Hearing the news from the palace, Zhao Mu, a shameless guy, knelt outside his palace gate for a long time before being received by him. It sticks together like milk and water.” Turning to Xiang Shaolong, he said, "Zhao Ya was born a whore, and now she's back to her old ways, and she's had hot fights with many good-looking men, and she's back to her former life of prostitution." Xiang Shaolong remained silent, Tao Fang deliberately brought up this matter to teach him to give up.well!This bitch really needs to be taught a serious lesson before he can relish the hatred in his heart.Thinking of this, I wondered if I still had feelings for her, otherwise how could I feel hatred when I heard about it? Tao Fang frowned and thought hard: "What are their plans?" Jing Jun said: "Of course it is to deal with us Qin." Teng Yi was stunned for a while and said: "Xiaojun, you have already regarded yourself as a Qin person so quickly." Jing Jun said awkwardly: "Isn't it appropriate?" Tao Fang laughed and said, "How can it be inappropriate, your Big Brother Teng is just not used to it!" Teng Yi smiled wryly and shook his head, but didn't speak any more. Xiang Shaolong thought to himself that people in this era have far less concept of country than family, a bit like people in the 21st century who work in a big company. If they feel that they have no future but they have some skills, they can transfer to the second company. is the rule rather than the exception. Ask Tao Fang: "Has Lu Buwei's situation in Qin improved greatly?" Tao Fang nodded in response, and said slowly: "What Lu Xiangguo owes now is only military merit, but he dare not act rashly, for fear of suffering a big loss because of the non-cooperation of the Qin people, so the little advantage he has managed by you, Shaolong, will be lost." It’s going to go down the drain.” Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly in his heart.I'm afraid it's hard for him to help with this matter. Although in this era of war, if you don't invade people, others will invade you, but if you want him to lead troops to attack cities and loot land, kill people and set fires, how can he do it? I can't recall that feeling. Everyone discussed again for a while, and decided that Wu Zhuo would set off immediately tomorrow to prevent the Chu envoy from going to Zhao, and then returned to the Houzhai. Before stepping into the door, Zhao Qian's voice was heard in the hall saying: "Oh! Menstruation is coming again!" Xiang Shaolong stood outside the door in astonishment. Wu Tingfang's voice responded: "I'm so anxious, I've been nourishing myself, but I'm still not pregnant." Xiang Shaolong became uneasy. Could it be that some kind of radiation damaged his ability in this area when he took the space-time machine? This is always a shortcoming for a happy family life, especially for women who value the inheritance of incense in this era, but he himself doesn't think it is too important. The hall fell silent. Xiang Shaolong shook his head and sighed, walked in with heavier steps. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Twenty days later, when Jing Jun returned to life, everyone secretly set out on the road, left Qin Pass, circled a big circle, and entered Zhao from Qi. Xiang Shaolong's thinking was more thorough than before.First, an envoy was sent to the frontier guards of Zhao State to hand over the official document of Jin Zhao King. After a while, the bells and drums of the Zhao Jun City Tower rang together, and the suspension bridge was lowered at the city gate. Hundreds of Zhao Jun drove out in neat formation to greet their camp. . Teng Yi gave an order, and a team of 300 Wu family "elite soldiers" pretending to be horse herders lined up outside the camp, waiting for the Zhao people to drive. The general Zhao Bing who led the army was Zhai Bian, the guard general. He was about thirty years old. famous." After the formalities, Xiang Shaolong, Teng Yi and Jing Jun accompanied him and showed him the thousand horses he had brought. As a war general, Zhai Bian naturally knew the goods, and watched the horses from the fence, he was inexplicably surprised: "The quality of these war horses is high, even better than the horses raised by the Wu family in our country before." Xiang Shaolong and the others were amused, and after a little humility, they asked someone to bring out one of the most handsome horses, and gave it to Zhai Bian. Needless to say, Zhai Bian's attitude became more cordial, he hurriedly opened the city gate, and invited their mighty cavalry team into the city. At a time when our country is in dire need of replenishment of war horses, sir came at the right time." Xiang Shaolong and Teng Jing exchanged glances, they both knew that Wu Zhuo had fulfilled his mission and got through Zhao Mu's joint. That night, Zhai Bian hosted a banquet in honor of all the people. During the dinner, they asked them about their situation in Chu, and they responded calmly with the stories they had made up. In the next morning, Zhai Bian sent a leader to lead them towards Handan, Xiao Xing stayed overnight, and twenty days later, Xiang Shaolong finally returned to this big city that had made him heartbroken.
