Chapter 122 Chapter Eleven Meeting Qin Qing Again

When Xiao Pan chased him out to find him that day, and he was so tired that he gave Qin Qing a lesson, Xiang Shaolong said to the servant who led the way: "I'd better wait for the prince outside in the garden." The servant suggested: "Master Xiang, why don't you sit outside for a while, the time is almost up." Xiang Shaolong nodded in agreement, sat down on the couch next to Waijin, and suddenly felt extremely relaxed, Xianyang without Lu Buwei, like a clear pool without man-eating crocodiles. In this era, there are no more powerful men than Lord Xinling, Tian Dan and Lu Buwei, but in terms of playing tricks, the former two are not as good as Lu Buwei.

This big businessman single-handedly won King Zhuang, ascended to the position of Prime Minister of Qin, and forced the death of his political opponents. Xiang Shaolong asked himself that he couldn't beat him, but he relied on Ren Lu Buwei's countless calculations, and he never thought that Xiao Pan, who thought it was his son, was actually planted by Xiang Shaolong carelessly.As long as he can get Xiaopan to officially sit on the throne, he wins. The question is can he have that kind of luck? Qin Qing's sweet and deep voice sounded from the side: "Teacher Xiang! This is the first time we have met each other this year!"

Xiang Shaolong was startled, stood up and saluted. This pretty widow is as beautiful as before, and her skin is fairer, but seeing her is the highest visual enjoyment. Ji Yanran's beauty is breathtaking!But Qinqing has a different taste, her delicacy is compelling, and her dignified and elegant appearance hides infinite charm and coquettishness. Seeing him staring at her blankly, Qin Qing blushed slightly, and said displeasedly: "Teacher Xiang and Crown Prince Zheng are waiting for you inside, please forgive Qin Qing for not being with you." After collecting money as a gift, she left gracefully.

Xiang Shaolong secretly blamed himself for losing his composure, and went inside to see Xiao Pan. This boy is taller, with a clear and distinct face. Although he is not handsome, his thick eyebrows and sword-like eyes set off a plump and powerful nose. The sharp edges and corners make people feel his firm and unyielding will. The square face is majestic. Youruo looks like a stone carving, and indeed has the embryonic form of a powerful and domineering lord. He was pretending to immerse himself in his studies, and he was no longer unable to control his emotions and be overwhelmed with joy when he saw Xiang Shaolong like before.

For some reason, Xiang Shaolong felt a little lost, as if the distance between him and Xiao Pan had been pulled a little further. When Xiang Shaolong saluted, Xiao Pan stood up to return the salute, and at the same time waved his hand to send out the two accompanying courtiers. After the two sat down on the ground, Xiao Pan's eyes shone with enthusiasm, and he said in a low voice, "Teacher has lost weight!" Xiang Shaolong sighed and said, "The prince is doing well!" Xiao Pan nodded and said: "Everything is fine! Hmph! Mr. Yangquan dared to kill Princess Qian, he deserves this retribution! Koreans will not have many good days."

Xiang Shaolong felt chills in his heart, hearing his tone of voice, he didn't look like a child who was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Xiao Pan wondered, "Teacher, why do you still look preoccupied?" At this time, Shaolong hoped that he would call "Master" to listen, but remembering that he forbade him to call it that way, what is there to complain about, so he forced a smile and said: "There are many things, you will naturally understand in the future .” Xiao Pan was taken aback, showing a thoughtful expression. Xiang Shaolong felt more and more that the future overlord was not easy, and said: "You are still young, the most important thing is to concentrate on studying and enrich yourself. Hey! Have you ever molested court ladies like before?"

Xiao Pan whispered: "How can I do these boring things, the only thing that makes me unhappy now is that there is no Taifu to discipline me, Xiao Ben also misses you!" When he said the last sentence, he once again revealed his true disposition that had been careless before. Xiang Shaolong recalled the scene of teaching two people how to practice martial arts that day, when Zhao Qian and the maidservants were still living happily with him, he couldn't help but feel like a knife was piercing his heart, and said dejectedly: "I will take care of myself, let me rest more Half a year! Okay?"

Xiao Pan's eyes turned red suddenly, he lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "I dreamed about my mother last night!" Naturally, Xiang Shaolong knew that he was referring to Zhao Ni, and his mood was even worse. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it too much. As long as you can manage the Qin Kingdom well in the future, if your mother has a spirit after death, it will be very comforting." .” Xiao Pan nodded and said, "I not only want to cure Qin, but also unify the world, that's what Lu Xiangguo always taught me." Xiang Shaolong shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Then let's unify the world! I have arranged for a very talented person to help you. That person's name is Li Si. As long as he can be reused in the future, he will surely make you an invincible leader throughout the ages. A comparable generation of overlords."

After Xiaopan read "Li Si" several times, he became excited and said, "Will the Taifu lead me to conquer the six countries in the future? Alas! Thinking of being able to fight on the battlefield, I wish I could grow up immediately and put on the military uniform." gown." Xiang Shaolong laughed and said: "Let's talk about the future! I'm going back to the ranch. Don't send me away, lest people be suspicious." Thinking of Lu Buwei who was full of wire holes in the palace, this worry is definitely not superfluous. Xiao Pan reached out and grabbed his arm tightly, then let go, nodded, with an indescribably strong expression on his face.

Xiang Shaolong's heart trembled when he saw it, alas!It really deserves to be Qin Shihuang! ◇◇◇◇◇◇ After walking out of the door, two maids greeted her and said, "The Empress Dowager has invited Mrs. Xiang." How could Xiang Shaolong be in the mood to see Mrs. Huayang, and he was even more afraid that she would ask about Mr. Yangquan, but he dared not refuse, so he could only secretly scold Qin Qing, if it wasn't for her, how would the Queen Mother know that he was here? Like the last time, Mrs. Huayang, the Empress Dowager, accompanied by Qin Qing, met her in the main hall of the Empress Dowager Palace. After paying respects and sitting down, Mrs. Huayang said softly: "It's a coincidence that Mrs. Xiang came back, if it's two days later , I won’t be able to see you.”

I don't know if it is because of the death of Mr. Yangquan's brother that she has aged at least a few years compared to the last time we met, and she still maintains the appearance of a beautiful woman, adding a bit of vicissitudes of life. It seems that she is not in a happy mood. Xiang Shaolong was surprised: "Where is the Queen Mother going?" Thinking that she once asked herself to give a precious headdress to her relatives in Chu State, but not only did she fail to do it for her, but she lost it in the red pine forest, and she didn't explain it properly afterwards.I can't help but feel ashamed in my heart, it's in vain that she still thinks highly of herself. Mrs. Huayang's eyes full of crow's feet showed a dreamy look, and she said softly: "I will move to the summer palace in Pakistan the day after tomorrow. It can grow fruit trees. I am old, and I don’t want to see the scene of you fighting for me anymore, so I can find a beautiful place and forget about it after passing through the dying years.” Qin Qing interjected, "The Basin Basin has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is rich in products. The former king sent Li Bing as his vassal to build a river weir there and turn thousands of hectares of wasteland into fertile fields. The Empress Dowager will definitely be happy with that place." Mrs. Huayang looked at Qin Qing lovingly, and said slightly: "Then why don't you go with me? What else in Xianyang is worth your nostalgia? It really makes people feel uneasy." Qin Qing's beautiful eyes turned to Xiang Shaolong, her pretty face blushed suddenly, she lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Qin still hasn't fulfilled her duty of teaching the prince, so she dare not leave." Xiang Shaolong not only felt the deep affection between the two, but also secretly frightened, could it be that Qin Qing, who was as cold as ice, actually broke the precepts for many years and fell in love with him?But after thinking about it, this is not the case. I'm afraid it's just that he is too sentimental. well!Feelings are really the biggest burden in life, and he really has no guts to re-enter love.How beautiful it is to be as gentle and gentle as white clouds passing through the gap, leaving no trace. A memory is enough to reminisce for a lifetime. The three of them thought about their respective places, and the hall was quiet and harmonious. Mrs. Huayang suddenly said: "Shaolong take good care of Qing'er for me, she is determined and has a strong personality, she is the easiest to offend." Qin Qing protested: "Queen Mother! Qing'er knows how to take care of herself." Xiang Shaolong murmured inwardly that it was not good, Madam Huayang must have seen something to speak so suggestively and encouragingly. Mrs. Huayang showed a tired look on her face, and said softly: "Don't stop the Grand Tutor from going back to the pasture, Qing'er will send the Grand Tutor a ride for me?" Xiang Shaolong hurriedly left his seat and kowtowed. Qin Qing accompanied him out of the palace gate, with an awkward expression, and walked in silence, neither of them knew what to say. Arriving at the outer gate of the Empress Dowager's Palace, Xiang Shaolong saluted and said, "Teacher Qin, please stop, I will see you off if I have the trouble." Qin Qing's face was as cold as before, she politely returned the salute, and said lightly: "The Empress Dowager cares too much about Qin Qing, that's why she said that, Taifu Xiang doesn't have to take it to heart." Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly and said: "Don't hold back those who are sad, Mr. Xiang is all hopeless now, Mrs. Qin, please rest assured." After saying that, he strode away, leaving Qin Qing to stay on the spot, with Xiang Shao still echoing in her heart Long's words full of heartbreak and heartbreak when he parted. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ It was raining and snowing. Xiang Shaolong was in the small pavilion in the garden of Yinlong Bieyuan, staring blankly at the first snow scene after winter. When it first snowed last year, I can still vividly remember the scene where I was still preparing for the mission. Zhao Qian and Chunying's four maidservants were happy because they could accompany them, while Cuitong's maidservants felt resentful because they didn't have a share. It's all over! The delicate and plump fiery female body came close to his back, and when he felt the fragrance filling his nose, a pair of slender jade palms covered his eyes, and his soft lips pressed against his ears and said, "Guess who I am? " This is one of Wu Tingfang's favorite games to play with him. Xiang Shaolong reached back, hugged the beauty to his side, and said with a smile, "Does Ji Cai want to pretend to be Fang'er and lie to me?" Ji Yanran, whose pink face was flushed from the cold, smiled coquettishly and tremblingly: "Isn't it okay to pretend to be tricked and make me happy? Miser!" Xiang Shaolong looked at this beautiful woman with whom he was deeply in love, and his heart was filled with endless deep feelings. After kissing them painfully, he asked, "Where did they go?" Ji Yanran wrapped her arms around his thick neck, coquettishly and softly said: "I went to see little Teng Yi learning to walk, that kid is so cute!" When Xiang Shaolong remembered that he still couldn't make all the girls pregnant, Ji Yanran's expression darkened, "Don't worry about Xiang Lang, God's will is unpredictable, if God doesn't want to create beauty, let him do that, as long as we have Xiang With Lang by my side, I am content." Xiang Shaolong smiled, and changed the subject: "Is there any news about the godfather?" Ji Yanran said: "After receiving his silk book three months ago, there is no new news, so I am not worried about his old man! Traveling around the mountains and rivers, I don't know how pleasant it is." You Xizizi said: "Second sister-in-law is pregnant again. She said that if she had a son, she would give it to us. We were all overjoyed. We wish she could give birth today." Feeling the brotherhood with Teng Yi, Xiang Shaolong felt warmth in his heart, secretly thinking that this is the best way out of all possible ways, how could he, a person from another time and space, lose the ability to impregnate a woman. Ji Yanran said, "Do you want to know the latest news from the front line?" After Liberty Xianyang came back, he was a bit evasive, very afraid of knowing what happened outside, especially afraid of hearing the news of Zhao Ya's misfortune. After kissing her, he said softly, "Say it! If you don't say anything else, your little mouth will be sealed." Ji Yanran smiled charmingly: "Then Yanran might not say anything on purpose so that she can enjoy her husband's favor." Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but flirt with her again, making love between men and women to the fullest. After a long time, this talented girl finally found a chance to pant and said, "I came here to tell you good news! What you worried about, only half happened. Empress Jing did ask Lord Xinling to kill Zhao Ya, but Lord Xinling But he refused to agree, and went to Qi State. Empress Jing was so angry that she accepted the agreement of the Yan people to cut five cities for peace, and then sent Lian Po to capture Fanyang in Weidi. Do you think Empress Jing is suicidal? Thirty-seven cities are still at war with the Wei people." Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed and said: "So, Lord Xinling really treats Ya'er sincerely." Ji Yanran said: "That should be the case. Otherwise, how could Mrs. Ya be willing to give up on you, Xiang Lang? Alas! In fact, this is all due to Madam's heart knot. Because she once betrayed Wu's family, she was very afraid to come to Xianyang to face Wu. For those of my family, she has cried bitterly over this matter many times, and Zhi Zhi is the clearest, but she dare not tell you!" Xiang Shaolong felt a little better, at least Zhao Ya's reluctance to change was not because of her flirtatious nature. Ji Yanran continued: "Of course Lu Buwei did not give up the opportunity of Zhao and Wei to fight against each other, and immediately sent General Meng to invade Wei's territory, fight for profit and share, and captured Wei's Gaodu and Ji County. Unfortunately, his ambition is too big. At the same time, he also ordered Wang Lu to attack the Shangdang of the Zhao people, and force Wei Zhao to turn thousands of wars into treasures. According to my opinion, with the reputation of Lord Xinling, he will definitely be able to instigate another alliance of the six kingdoms." Xiang Shaolong was puzzled and said: "I still don't understand why Lu Buwei is so eager to attack Zhao. When I returned to Xianyang that day, he said that Han and Zhao would use troops at the same time. In the end, he just attacked Zhao and let Han go. It's really embarrassing. untie." Ji Yanran smiled and said: "Why is my husband suddenly becoming stupid? This is a plan to kill birds with one stone. Empress Jing is a Korean. Now Zhao Guo is in power. Maybe it will merge with South Korea and become a new powerful kingdom. Lu Buwei How can this kind of thing be allowed to happen, so they stormed Zhao Guo in order to weaken the strength of the Zhao people. At the same time, King Xiaocheng was mourned, Li Mu was fighting against the Huns in the north, and Lian Po was fighting with the Yan people. This is a golden opportunity. How could Lu Buwei agree? Let go." Xiang Shaolong patted his forehead and said, "My brains are indeed not as good as Ji's, maybe this is the intention of the Empress Ji. She and the king hate Zhao people the most, so why should I let it out." Ji Yanran said: "Victory is the easiest way to fool people's minds. If the six countries join forces, Lu Buwei is afraid that he will suffer a big loss. At that time, he will think of Xiang Lang's benefits again." Xiang Shaolong looked at the snow powder flying all over the sky, and the tragic scene of the six-nation coalition fighting against the Qin people came to mind. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ From winter to spring, every day that passed, Xiang Shaolong was frightened for a day, afraid of hearing the news that King Zhuang Xiang died of illness suddenly. According to historical facts, he passed away due to illness three years after he ascended the throne, and it has been three full years now. That day, Wu Yingyuan and Wu Zhuo rushed back from Beiqiang. When they arrived at the ranch, they went to talk to the leaders of the Wu family, Teng Yi, Jing Jun, Pu Bu, Liu Chao, Wu Guo, and Shaolong. They had just returned from buying goods in Guanzhong. Wu Tingwei also participated in this meeting. In addition to Tao Fangyin who wanted to stay in Xianyang to listen to the news, there were also Wu Yingyuan's two younger brothers, Wu Yingjie and Wu Yingen.It can be said that the important figures of the Wu family are almost all here. Everyone knows that Wu Yingyuan has something very important to announce. After sitting in the hall according to the table, the doors and windows were closed, and the outside was strictly guarded by the generals. Wu Yingyuan, the head of the clan, sighed and said: "Wu Zhuo has already told me about Shaolong and Lu Buwei, Shaolong don't blame him, your eldest brother must listen to me as a parent." Wu Zhuo made a helpless expression to Xiang Shaolong. Wu Tingwei and other members of the immediate family all had gloomy faces, obviously having heard about this matter. Strictly speaking, Xiang Shaolong, Teng Yi, etc. are still outsiders, but because Xiang Shaolong joined the Wu family, Teng Yi and Jing Jun became brothers with Wu Zhuo, and made great contributions, so they are regarded as Wu family people.Pu Bu and Liu Chao are the leading family generals, and their status is similar to that of Wu Guo. Wu Yingyuan smiled wryly and said: "Our Wu family is strong and good at grazing, so it is inevitable that people will be jealous. I thought that after arriving in Daqin, because of the same origin, we can live in peace, but unexpectedly we met Lu Buwei, an outsider. But the most hateful thing is that we are loyal to him and have made great contributions to him, but what we get in return is only a ruthless frame. If Shaolong was not a hero, he would have died tragically beside the Luo River. It is said that those who are incapable of fighting can only be avoided." Wu Yingjie said: "The strongest of the country is the Great Qin. Where can we stay?" Wu Ying'en also said: "Even in the Six Kingdoms, no one dares to take me in. No one wants to give Lu Buwei an excuse to send troops." Wu Tingwei, who has always had a rift with Xiang Shaolong, said: "Lu Buwei is only targeting Xiang Shaolong and not our Wu people. For the sake of the overall situation, why not..." Wu Yingyuan's face darkened, and he said angrily, "Shut up!" Xiang Shaolong and Wu Zhuo glanced at each other, and they both felt that the world is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change the truth of these two sentences. Wu Tingwei still didn't know what to do, and protested: "I just said that Xiang Shaolong can temporarily hide in the distance, not..." Wu Yingyuan was furious, and yelled angrily: "I, Wu Yingyuan, have been ashamed in my life to have given birth to your son who is ungrateful, treacherous, and short-sighted like a mouse. Get the hell out of here. If you still don't know how to reflect on your past , the future family will no longer have your qualifications to participate." Wu Tingwei's face changed several times, and finally he gave Xiang Shaolong a hard look, and left angrily. There was an awkward silence in the hall. Wu Yingjie and Wu Yingen frowned deeply. Although they didn't speak, they obviously disagreed with Wu Yingyuan's proposal to veto Wu Tingwei. Xiang Shaolong was very upset, his greatest support came from the Wu family, if this foundation was shaken, he would have no money left. With his personality, if Xiaopan hadn't settled his mind, he would have automatically accepted the proposal to leave Qin, but of course he can't do that now. Wu Zhuo broke the stalemate and said: "This trip, the young master and I went to Beiqiang to investigate the situation outside the Great Wall, and found that there is indeed a unique world there. The fertile plain is thousands of miles away, and there is no trace of people. If we can go there to open up wasteland and operate , we can definitely build our kingdom, and we don’t need to rely on others like we do now. We can act according to the face of others.” Wu Yingen's face changed: "Brother, you must think carefully about this matter. Beyond the Great Wall is a place where the Xiongnu and barbarians are rampant. If one is not good, maybe there will be a disaster of annihilation." Wu Yingyuan said: "My Wu family is growing day by day, and babies are born every day. If this continues, it will not be a solution. The only long-term solution is to establish our own country. Now that all countries are vying for supremacy, there is no way to go north. Gu, it is the best time to create an immortal career, not to mention we have Xiang Shaolong and Teng Yi as strong generals, who would dare to mess with us?" Wu Yingjie said: "Establishing a family and a country is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Eldest brother should take a long-term plan. Now that the king and queen are very fond of Shaolong, Lu Buweiying still dare not openly deal with us." Wu Yingyuan calmed down a little, smiled and said: "I didn't say to leave now. I went to Beiqiang today. I met Shaolong's fourth younger brother Wang Jian and told him frankly about our situation. Wang Jian is very affectionate and righteous." He said that as long as he guards Beiqiang for a day, he will definitely support us with all his strength. In times of danger, we spent a few years looking for beautiful places outside the Great Wall, laying down the foundation first, and leaving a way out when the situation changes in the future. , so as not to escape without a way, and wait to die." Wu Yingjie said: "If you don't ask Shaolong to preside over this matter, it will be more appropriate." Teng Yi and the others all sighed in their hearts. When it comes to low, except for Wu Yingyuan, who is far-sighted, the other Wu clan chiefs are all people who only want to enjoy themselves, and are reluctant to leave Daqin, a rich and affluent country. Wu Yingyuan's face darkened and he said: "Didn't that tell Lu Buwei that we are dissatisfied with this place? If we tear our face apart and there is no Shaolong around, our Wu family will have to be slaughtered." Wu Zhuo interjected: "It is always difficult to start a business, but once the foundation is established, it will last forever. Although we seem to be unable to do it now, it may be a blessing in disguise. When we go to open up wasteland outside the Great Wall, we will hand it over to I'll do it, relying on the one thousand black troops trained by our brothers, although they are still too weak to travel outside the territory, they are more than enough to protect themselves, so don't worry, everyone." Wu Yingyuan said decisively: "This matter is decided here, don't be half-hearted, but must keep a high degree of confidentiality and not leak it, otherwise it will be dealt with according to family law, and will never be lightly forgiven." Turning to Wu Zhuo, he said, "Go and warn that beast, and let him keep the secret, otherwise don't say that I, Wu Yingyuan, don't care about the love between father and son." There was a knock on the door, and a general came in and said, "Lu Xiangguo summoned my uncle!" Everyone was stunned. Why did Lu Buwei seek Xiang Shaolong?
