Chapter 76 Chapter Nine Despicable Traitor

When Xiang Shaolong arrived at the hall where he was waiting for Zhao Ya when he first came to the wife's mansion that day, those rare ornaments were still displayed on the shelves as before, but he had already changed into a completely different mood. Why didn't she invite him to the quiet and elegant small building in the garden, treat Li Garden more than herself, why not simply not let him come so early. Regardless of personality, Li Yuan is indeed a woman's ideal boudoir dreamer. Even Ji Yanran was once moved by his literary talent, but it is a pity that he is such a person.

While thinking about it, Mrs. Ya arrived in abundance.The maid who waited beside her bowed and said goodbye. At this moment, Xiang Shaolong was thinking why Xiao Zhao and all the other girls were gone, so Mrs. Ya came to sit beside him and sat down on the ground and said, "Mr. Dong, thank you for your early visit, let's let go of the fluffy plants to shine." Xiang Shaolong looked at her.This mature beauty has a radiant complexion, a provocative spring in her brows and eyes, and a delicate figure, which is extremely attractive. The more beautiful and charming she was, the more angry he felt in his heart. He guessed that it must be because of being nourished by Li Yuan that the vitality of spring had returned.

He said in a rough voice: "Madam's mansion is better than the residence of princes and marquises. There is nothing to say about it." Zhao Ya frowned when she heard that, no one would take the polite words as truth, although she was slightly displeased, she was not easily offended by him like before, of course it was because her heart was still full of Li Yuan's love didn't take it lightly and said: "How is the pasture in the Tibetan Army Valley, sir?" Xiang Shaolong was stunned, how sharp he was, seeing Zhao Ya's expression at this time, he knew that Li Yuan had successfully won her heart, and even temporarily forgot about "Xiang Shaolong", so he returned to the previous style.

This should be something to be happy about, at least Zhao Ya will not come to pester him for the time being because she has something to belong to, but she feels very uncomfortable in her heart, she really wants to hurt her and see her sad. Xuan suppressed this impulse again, and said with a smile: "We don't talk about business today, why does Madam want me to come here earlier?" This time it was Zhao Ya's turn to say nothing. She did this because she was quite interested in this idiot, but now because of Li Yuan's sudden intrusion, she has monopolized her heart, at least at this moment, so she no longer has the original greedy mood.

She still sent someone to bring Xiang Shaolong to meet him earlier because she longed deep down to be with him.This Dong Kuang has a unique temperament that is rough and full of philosophical thoughts. He is both domineering and gentle, which together form a very fresh and exciting feeling for her.When you are with him, you never know what he will say or do unexpectedly next moment.And he was still indifferent to himself, he didn't seem to take her seriously, but he seemed to be very interested in her.All in all, with him by his side, she has no time to think about other things. Li Yuan couldn't give her this feeling.

When hanging out with Li Yuan, she couldn't help but want to substitute him into Xiang Shaolong, but this rough guy who resembled Xiang Shaolong in a certain way made her forget everything. What would it be like to have a good time with him? Thinking of this, I was startled and blamed myself secretly. Why did Li Yuan's strong impression immediately fade after seeing him? Xiang Shaolong saw that her beautiful face was inconspicuous, and his anger surged up, so he stood up abruptly.Zhao Ya was startled, and looked up at him in puzzlement. Xiang Shaolong said in a deep voice: "Madam fell in love with that kid Li Yuan, and that's why she's become so indifferent to me now?"

Zhao Ya's tender body was shocked, and she exclaimed: "Oh! No!" At this moment, she has no time to deduce why the other party can hit the nail on the head and speak out what's on her mind. Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "That doesn't matter, but if Li Yuan stole someone's BMW from Dong, I will never let him go." Stretching his waist, he laughed and said, "I'll be there first." Strolling in the street, I will come to my wife's place to attend the dinner later, lest everyone look at me and don't know what to talk about." Zhao Ya was confused by him, stood up, and said coquettishly: "Mr. Dong! Can you save some face for Zhao Ya? Is he not as good as a horse in your heart?" Only when the words came out, did he know Made a mistake in language, didn't he regard himself as his horse?

Xiang Shaolong glanced at her indifferently, feeling secretly pleased, turned around and walked towards the hall door, and said nonchalantly: "That kid prefers to fight against me, good! Let someone Dong show his skills and snatch Ji Yanran over, let him I also taste the taste of being robbed of love by others." Zhao Ya was about to chase him, but stopped in astonishment after hearing the word Ji Yanran. But she didn't dare to laugh at him, because there was an incomparably strong confidence in his tone, making people feel that if he could say it, he would definitely be able to do it.

When Xiang Shaolong disappeared outside the door, she was still thinking of the words "to win love with a sword". well!The freshness and splendor of his diction is indeed comparable to that of Xiang Shaolong.Suddenly, she knew that Li Yuan could not completely replace Xiang Shaolong. Thinking of this, my interest is dull, and I don't want to think about it anymore. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Standing on the streets of Handan, Xiang Shaolong couldn't help feeling emotional when he thought of the wars that ensued after Xiao Pan ascended the throne. This vast land, after hundreds of years of chaos, has finally reached a moment of great change in history, and he, an "outsider", has single-handedly contributed to this change.Had he not come, would these things have not happened?

No matter how clever he is, thinking about this problem gives him a headache. "Brother Dong!" Hearing the call, Xiang Shaolong was at a loss for a while, he couldn't remember that Dong Kuang was him, then he woke up and turned around to look. It turned out to be Han Chuang, Marquis of Pingshan from South Korea, and he was accompanied by seven or eight personal followers. One could tell at a glance that he was a master. Everyone was full of energy and sturdy. Although they were not as tall as Xiang Shaolong, they were already strong. Very fancy. Xiang Shaolong was surprised and said: "I thought I was the only one who loves to go shopping, but I didn't expect Ping Shanhou to have such a taste for it."

Han Chuang's face was gloomy, and he didn't answer him immediately. When he came to his side, he kindly took his arm and said as he walked, "Come! My hotel is just around the corner. Let's talk at my place." Xiang Shaolong was overwhelmed by the flattery, he never thought that his originally indifferent attitude towards him would undergo a 180-degree change, from south to north. Involuntarily followed him to the resort, and after sitting down in the hall, the dozen or so swordsmen still stood around and did not leave, making the atmosphere serious, a bit like negotiating with gangsters. Han Chuang even omitted the usual polite greetings for serving tea and wine, and said in a deep voice, "Li Yuan is such a bastard, he doesn't give us any face, and openly shaves Benhou's eyebrows, it's extremely hateful." Xiang Shaolong suddenly realized that he had been sending people to keep an eye on Zhao Ya, seeing that Li Yuan took the initiative to look for her and stayed for a period of time long enough to do anything before he would come out, so he was so furious that he regarded his other rival in love as his own. As a person on the same front, but it can also be said that Han Chuang is better than Xiang Shaolong in terms of appearance, identity, and power, so he doesn't regard him as a strong enemy, but Li Yuan is another matter. From this point of view, Han Chuang is serious about Zhao Ya, and even wants to bring her back to South Korea, so that he can enjoy it freely in his private house, but this ideal has now been destroyed by Li Yuan. For a while, I couldn't find anything to answer.Han Chuang's eyes gleamed fiercely and said, "Brother Dong, why did you sneak out in less than a cup of hot tea?" Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that he must be going to Zhao Ya to question the teacher who committed the crime, but when he saw himself walking out with a similar expression, he changed his mind and chased him back. " He snorted coldly and said: "Dong can't stand other people's indifference and blank stares the most, what are you doing if you don't leave and stay there, fuck his grandma's mother!" Han Chuang felt the same way, and snorted, "I, Ping Shanhou, have seen many people in my life, but I have never seen such an arrogant boy. What is he? It's not because of the nepotism of my sister. I really don't understand why Jun Shen thinks so much about him. He, if Li Yanyan can't give birth to a son, what do I think he can rely on?" Xiang Shaolong still doesn't understand what he meant by dragging himself here, as he is a high-ranking person, there is really no need to find someone like him to vomit bitterness. Han Chuang's face was full of gloom, and he said fiercely: "In order not to offend the people of Chu and avoid affecting the plan of the alliance, Benhou has restrained himself from competing with him for talented girls. How could he not let Zhao Ya go, no wonder Since he came, this whore Zhao Ya has ignored me." It was only then that Xiang Shaolong realized that Han Chuang was so infatuated with Zhao Ya, he sighed and said, "There are many beauties in the world, so please leave her alone. That's why I prefer to raise horses. You are good to horses. They also treat you kindly, they have no different intentions, and they are not as difficult to raise as women and villains." Han Chuang was silent for a moment, and then he laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's really interesting to talk to you, but I will definitely win back this breath. Li Yuan is not ashamed, I want to see how good his sword skills are?" Xiang Shaolong was taken aback and said, "Master Hou wants to get off in person tomorrow, right?" A sinister smile escaped from the corner of Han Chuang's mouth, his eyes flickered coldly, and he said in a low voice, "How could Ben Hou do such a stupid thing? I have already planned it. Even if I teach Li Yuan a lesson, he won't know that I did it." hand." Xiang Shaolong knew that a person like him who was used to playing tricks would never tell the whole story, and he was willing to tell himself that he regarded him as a fellow traveler, so he deliberately praised him: "It is really unwise to offend Lord Marquis. " Han Chuang slumped against the back of the chair, and said helplessly, "We have long since given up on the people of Chu. All along, the three of us have fought to the death with the State of Qin, and they have always beaten us. Who knows what Li Yuan is going to do?" Will you inform the people of Qin about our alliance? If the Qin State preemptively strikes at that time, our country will bear the brunt of it. Sigh! I really don’t understand why King Zhao is so flattering to him?” Then he looked at him and said, "Brother Dong, do you understand why King Xiaocheng suddenly became indifferent to you and didn't invite you to the banquet yesterday?" Xiang Shaolong intentionally showed an expression of resentment, nodded and said, "It's not because of Li Yuan!" Han Chuang patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said, "This place does not keep people, but we have places to keep people. The door of welcome in our country is always open for Mr. Dong. If you want to deal with Li Yuan, this Marquis can be your backing. " Xiang Shaolong laughed secretly in his heart, this is the purpose of enticing him, to use his hand to deal with Li Yuan, pretending to be grateful and said: "I will remember Lord Hou's words." Han Chuang pondered: "I think Yanran will always get him. If he can snatch this peerless beauty from him, it will make him feel more uncomfortable than killing him." Xiang Shaolong sighed: "Ji talented girl is so easy to get, I don't think Li Yuan may be sure of winning." Han Chuang said with a sinister smile: "If you want to make a woman submit, there are many ways, such as giving her some aphrodisiacs, even if she doesn't throw herself into your arms. But it is not easy to have a chance to be alone with Ji Yanran, but She seems to have a different opinion of Brother Dong's horse raising skills, maybe... Hey! Brother Dong understands what I mean!" Xiang Shaolong was furious in his heart, secretly calling him despicable, this incident not only hurt Ji Yanran, but also hurt himself.certainly!That just means that he is really Dong Kuang. Like Ji Yanran, a talented woman who is respected and admired by everyone in the world, if someone behaves beastly towards her, won't she become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats?It was no wonder that Han Chuang was willing to take him in at that time. Just looking at this plan to kill with a knife, one can see how bad Han Chuang's mind is. Now he began to understand why the Six Kingdoms would eventually be destroyed by the Qin State. An important national official like Han Chuang came to Handan to conspire with Qin on behalf of his country, but he spent all his time fighting for the wind and jealousy, and put the main business on the back burner , How can it be regarded as a character. Looking at the four kingdoms of Han, Wei, Zhao, and Chu that I have been in contact with, they are all villains in power, and Li Mu, Lian Po, and Lord Xinling are all talented and bold people who cannot be used.What about the situation of Yan and Qi? Han Chuang made a gesture, and someone immediately handed over a small bottle. Han Chuang stuffed it into Xiang Shaolong's hand, and said with the most sincere expression: "It's all up to Mr. to win back this tone of the Marquis. Women are very It's strange, even if you are chaste and strong, if you get her body, most of them will become obedient to you, Ji Yanran is a woman, so naturally there is no exception! Hey! I really envy Brother Dong!" Xiang Shaolong cursed inwardly, but after asking how to use it, he stuffed the vial into his bosom and said, "It depends on the situation, alas! I'm actually not that interested in women, how can women be as good as horses?" ?” Han Chuang encouraged him again and said all the good things before going to the wife's residence with him for a banquet. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ After Xiang Shaolong waited for Han Chuang to enter the mansion, he wandered outside for a while, and walked into the wife's mansion swaggeringly a little late. The square of the main house of the Madam's Mansion was full of carriages. When Zhao Da led him into the mansion, he said in a low voice: "After you left just now, Madam sat for a long time sullenly. Guo Kai came to find her and refused to see her. Master Dong is really good." Xiang Shaolong knew that he was still determined, and hoped that he would take Zhao Ya back, but since it was flooded, how could he take it back. The banquet was held in an elegant one-story house next to the main house, and it was also the "shared banquet" of the Guo family that night. A large round table was placed in the center of the hall, and more than ten seats were arranged around it. All the people who participated in the Guo family dinner were present, including the delicate and charming Miss Guo family. Xiang Shaolong originally thought that Guo Xiu'er would not want to see Li Yuan after that night, but now he looks like a normal person. In addition to this group of people, there were four more people. The first one is of course Ji Yanran, there are Zhao Zhi and Guo Kai, there is another man about 40 years old, with luxurious clothes and imposing manner, but his eyes are flickering, giving the impression of love and scheming . Before it was time to sit, the eight doors on one side of the hall were all opened, and the large garden with lush flowers and trees could be seen without hindrance. Dozens of colored lights were hanging down from the branches of the trees, illuminating the whole garden with colorful lights. Doubt is like a fantasy feeling. Xiang Shaolong was the last guest to arrive. Most of the people went to the garden to enjoy the lanterns. In the hall, only Zhao Mu, Guo Zong, Le Cheng, Zhao Ba and the unidentified person were whispering to each other. Seeing Xiang Shaolong, Zhao Mu laughed and said, "Why is Mr. Dong late, I will definitely order you three cups later, come! I have met Mr. Ji Zhong." Xiang Shaolong felt stunned, so it turned out that this was the special envoy representing the king of Eastern Zhou to unite the six kingdoms and jointly attack Qin, so he hurriedly greeted him. Ji Zhong paid great attention to etiquette, and Xiang Shaolong was so tired that he had to perform the official ceremony with him. After a few words of politeness, although Ji Zhong seemed to be respectful, he obviously didn't care about a horse breeder, and went back to the house. Going to the topic just mentioned, talking about King Zhuangxiang of Qin being an incompetent person, reusing Lu Buwei will definitely cause civil strife in Qin State and so on. How could Xiang Shaolong be in the mood to listen to him, he apologized and walked towards the garden.He had just stepped into the entrance of the garden, and three pairs of wonderful eyes floated towards him immediately. As soon as Ji Yanran saw him, her beautiful eyes lit up uncontrollably; Zhao Zhi stared at him hard and then turned her pretty face away, showing that her anger was still there; Zhao Ya seemed to have been waiting for him to appear, A smile appeared on Yulian's face, and he said happily: "Mr. Dong, come quickly, we are discussing very interesting issues!" Xiang Shaolong glanced over, and saw that everyone gathered on the spacious stone bridge in the center of the garden, and a clear stream that attracted mountain springs flowed under it, and when it was about ten feet away from the bridge, they gathered into a center and placed a strange stone The lotus pond is very interesting, and it can be seen that Zhao Yashe is a woman with a heart besides her sloppy behavior. Ji Yanran leaned on the railing and looked down leisurely, Li Yuan next to her was pointing out the various fish swimming below, showing her great hospitality. Guo Xiu'er and Zhao Zhi are the most acquainted, sitting together on a smooth boulder not far from the bridge head, it seems that they really appreciate the beautiful garden with dazzling lights.The former was looking at him at this time. Han Chuang and Guo Kai, accompanied by Zhao Ya, stood at the center of the bridge, right behind Ji Yanran and Li Yuan. Xiang Shaolong walked towards the stone bridge, and first greeted Guo Xiuer and Zhao Zhi.Zhao Zhi reluctantly returned the gift, while Guo Xiuer gave him an extra sweet smile of a girl. Although Xiang Shaolong was a little itchy, he knew that this woman was absolutely untouchable, after all, the Wu family and the Guo family were unequal enemies. When he stepped onto the stone bridge, Ji Yanran ignored Li Yuan, turned around and said with a smile, "Mr. Dong! We are talking about the meaning of life and death, what is your opinion on this?" Xiang Shaolong knew that this pretty woman loved to discuss issues, from the way of managing the world to the meaning of such a life, etc., he loved to discuss.And this is the great era of contention among a hundred schools of thought and the explosion of ideas. This kind of talkative atmosphere prevails among the dignitaries and celebrities. People like Lao Zhuang Confucius and others not long ago like to talk about the truth of life all day long.It's a pity that he doesn't know much about this aspect. Although he knows that Ji Yanran is giving the opportunity to express himself so that he can smoothly pursue her pursuit, he is powerless.He smiled wryly and said: "My humble old man, how can he understand such a profound truth?" Ji Yanran thought that he was advancing in retreat, and before he had a chance to answer, Li Yuan interjected, "It's a pity that Mr. Zou didn't come, otherwise it would be very exciting if he spoke. Hehe! Why don't we ask Mr. Dong about his experience in raising horses?" !" Anyone with a heart will know that he is undermining Xiang Shaolong, saying that he knows nothing about horses.But in this day and age, raising horses is only a lowly profession, so he deliberately belittled Xiang Shaolong's status. Xiang Shaolong was secretly angry, but he was even more afraid that he would ask questions about raising horses. Although he had made up for his knowledge in this area, he was still very limited. He pretended not to care and said, "You guys have been talking for so long, you must have If you come to a conclusion, don't let Dong Mou open his mouth." Guo Kai, the wicked Confucian scholar, said: "I'm still the same as Confucius said, 'If you can't deal with people, how can you deal with ghosts', I simply don't think about things other than life and death." Zhao Ya was obviously very interested, and said with a smile: "Doctor Guo is the most cunning, he only knows how to escape, and he refuses to face the most important issue in life." Li Yuan said proudly: "We must pay attention to the purpose in everything we do. Why do we ignore our own existence? God has given us precious life, just like these lanterns hanging on the trees, burning Colorful light and heat, so that we can live up to this life.” Even Xiang Shaolong had to admit that this man's words were very content and imaginative. Looking at the girls, Zhao Yagu's eyes showed a fascinated look, Ji Yanran also listened very attentively, and Zhao Zhi and Guo Xiuer at the bridgehead Stop whispering and listen carefully. Xiang Shaolong felt bad, and searched his brains and said: "Brother Li is just talking about an attitude towards life, not any conclusions about the meaning of life and death." Guo Kai and Han Chuang showed surprise at the same time, Unexpectedly, this rough man's mind and observation skills are so delicate and meticulous. Li Yuan laughed and said: "Mr. Dong is right, but just as Zhuang Zhou said, 'If you seek the greatest realm from the smallest, you will be confused and unable to be content'. One day we are limited in life and death, We still can't find the answer about life and death, just like a snake in summer, who doesn't know what the ice and snow in winter are, so our only solution is to establish a positive attitude, so as not to waste this fleeting life in vain "He spoke eloquently, with cadences and tones, matching his emotions, and he really had the charm of an eloquent man, so it's no wonder that Ji Yanran looked at him differently.Xiang Shaolong was speechless for a moment, at a loss for words to answer. Seeing his expression, Li Yuan was amused in his heart, so he would not let him go, so he said humbly and asking for advice: "What is Brother Dong's attitude towards life?" Xiang Shaolong can find some words to say at will, but if he wants to speak more profoundly and touchingly than him, he has no power. Han Chuang was standing on the same front as him now, and he said for him, "Tonight's discussion is special and exciting, so let's stop here and talk about it at the table!" Zhao Ya complained: "Speaking so happily, I have to rush to the table. Zhao Ya needs to listen to more of Mr. Li's high-spirited speeches!" Ji Yanran said softly: "I haven't given a chance to tell Mr. Dong yet?" Looking at Ji Yanran's expectant eyes, remembering that he wants to publicly pursue her mission, how can he be so useless?When I was complaining about suffering, a flash of light flashed in my mind, and I remembered a story I heard in my time, which might be able to reverse the situation.Then he walked to the bridge, came to Ji Yanran's side, first took a deep look at her, then showed Zhao Ya's white and neat teeth, smiled slightly, then turned around, put his hands on the bridge railing, looked up to the night sky.The bright moon in the sky is bright and bright, round and far away. Everyone knew that he had something to say, but they didn't expect him to say something more brilliant than Li Yuan's on this topic, so they held their breath and listened intently. There was a disdainful smile on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth. Ji Yanran closed her beautiful eyes, she was confident that Xiang Shaolong would be able to speak thought-provoking philosophies.For her, there is nothing more interesting than thinking about life issues, which is why she and Zou Yan became friends.The reason why she fell in love with Xiang Shaolong is because he speaks fresh and smart, different from others. With a hoarse voice, Xiang Shaolong said slowly: "A traveler was walking in the desert, and suddenly a group of hungry wolves appeared behind him, chasing him and wanting to eat them together." Everyone was astonished, but at the same time they were very interested. They didn't expect that he would suddenly tell a story.Just like Zhuang Zhou used fables to interpret thoughts. Xiang Shaolong's voice vibrated in the silent night sky, and it had an unspeakable mystery and appeal, especially when the content was about the unfathomable life and death issues. I just heard him continue in a very slow rhythm: "He was taken aback, ran wildly, and fought for his life." Guo Xiuer yelled "Ah" and said, "How can you outrun a hungry wolf in the desert? He's going to die!" Everyone smiled, but didn't answer, because they all wanted to listen, even Li Yuan was no exception.But when he saw Ji Yanran's obedient and attentive appearance with her beautiful eyes closed, he couldn't help burning with jealousy. Xiang Shaolong smiled slightly and said, "Don't panic! Just when the hungry wolf was about to catch up with him, he saw a well in front of him that didn't know how deep it was, so he jumped into it recklessly." Zhao Ya breathed a sigh of relief: "There must be water in that well, isn't it?" Xiang Shaolong looked at the small stream below, shook his head and said, "Not only is there no water, but there are also many poisonous snakes. When they see food being delivered to their door, they raise their heads and stick out their tongues, eagerly waiting for it." This time it was Ji Yanran's turn to cry out "Ah", she opened her beautiful eyes, looked away from her delicate body, and said, "Then what should I do? Why don't I turn around and fight the hungry wolf?" Yes, poisonous snakes are much more terrifying than wolves." Han Chuang laughed and said, "Girls are afraid of snakes, and Miss Ji is no exception." Xiang Shaolong looked at Ji Yanran, and said softly: "He lost his mind in shock, and he stretched out his hand randomly to grab something that could save his life. Unexpectedly, God obeyed people's wishes and caught him a tree growing horizontally in the middle of the well. The little tree that came out, stabilize him in mid-air." Everyone was silent, knowing that there was still more to this story. Zhao Ya's eyes lit up. At this moment, she only had this hero who was more unpredictable than Li Yuan in her heart. Xiang Shaolong said: "So there are hungry wolves above and poisonous snakes below, but even though the man is caught in a dilemma, he is still safe for the time being." Everyone began to understand a little bit.What Xiang Shaolong said is exactly the portrayal of a human being, let me ask you, who is not in a dilemma between life and death? Just listen to him go on and say: "Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a strange noise came into his ears. He stared at the sound in horror, and found out that a group of big mice were biting the root of the tree with their sharp teeth. The time of this life-saving tree was numbered. " Guo Xiuer and Zhao Zhi exclaimed at the same time. Xiang Shaolong looked deeply at Ji Yanran, and said as if he was only talking to her: "At this moment of life and death, he saw a drop of honey on the leaf in front of him, so he forgot about the hungry wolf on it. , the poisonous snake below also forgot the sapling that was about to be bitten off by the mouse, closed its eyes, stuck out its tongue, and licked that drop of honey wholeheartedly." There was no sound on the small bridge, only the murmur of the stream flowing. Xiang Shaolong stretched his waist and said, "To me, that drop of honey is the meaning of life!" No one spoke, and even people like Guo Kai and Han Chuang who only knew how to pursue fame and fortune aroused their thoughts and sympathized with them. Seeing that everyone was moved by Xiang Shaolong's incomparably profound thoughtful parable, Li Yuan was dissatisfied and broke the silence and said, "Where did this fable come from?" Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Ma'er told me!" Then he laughed and said: "I'm hungry!".
