Chapter 136 Chapter 1 Prince Yandan

After hearing this, Teng Yi was stunned, unable to speak for a long time. When facing Shan Rou, there is indeed no one who does not have a headache, but since she left, no one does not care about her bitterly. But she suffered misfortune when she was in her prime. Shanrou is a rare independent woman in this era. She is strong and courageous. As long as she wants to do something, she will never give up until she achieves her goal. And she sacrificed for her wish! Xiang Shaolong cupped his face in both hands, and silently shed heroic tears, but he didn't cry out loud. At this time, a subordinate wanted to come in to report, and Teng Yi drank it out, ordering Tiewei not to let anyone in.

Teng Yi stretched out his hand and patted Xiang Shaolong's shoulder, and said sadly: "The deceased is gone, the most important thing for us now is how to avenge her! If my relatives die in Tian Dan's hands, let's settle the two bills together with him! " When Xiang Shaolong calmed down a little, Teng Yi said: "Do you think Tian Dan will tell Lu Buwei about this matter, or directly complain to the prince, the so-called two countries are fighting each other, if you don't kill them, the Qin people can't just sit back and watch Tian Dan was attacked and killed."

Xiang Shaolong said sadly: "I don't know if Shanrou has a soul in the sky. When I thought of her suicide, my mind suddenly became extremely clear. I thought of all the problems in an instant, and I came up with such bold words." After a pause, he continued: "Even if the Qin people send troops to escort Tian Dan away, it is only limited to the Qin territory. Once we leave the Qin territory, it is a good opportunity for us to do it. The problem is that we must first find out Tian Dan's strength. As long as I ask Lord Longyang about the matter of taking over his army, I will know the details immediately."

After pondering for a long while, he sighed: "Tian Dan can be said to have committed his own crimes. He was alone and did not participate in the latest joint venture. Zhao Rengu hated him bitterly because he conspired to overthrow Xiaocheng last time, and Han Ren hated him bitterly because of his relationship with Zhao. The Empress Dowager has a close relationship with him, so she will not be particularly tolerant to him. Under such circumstances, he can only go to Weijing or Chu. The former is of course much closer, but it is not as safe as Chu. If I guess right, he will accompany Li Yuan leaves together, then my arrangement seems to be safe."

Teng Yi said in astonishment: "If he is protected by Qin people in Qin state, and supported by Chu people in Chu state, how can we have a chance?" Xiang Shaolong showed a cruel smile, and said lightly: "For the deep hatred of the second elder brother, I will use all means to deal with this villain. First of all, I will try to force Li Yuan to leave Xianyang. Tian Dan will have to talk to Lu Buwei. Just slip away in a hurry." Teng Yi frowned and said, "Let's not talk about how you can force Li Yuan to leave, how do you know that Lu Buwei and Tian Dan haven't reached an agreement yet?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "It's just a kind of intuition. Firstly, the two of them kept whispering at the banquet last night; and because he wanted to use Shanrou to threaten me to do things for him. All these show that he still has something to do. It's useless to think too much now, let's split things up, the second brother is responsible for finding out how many people are around Tian Dan, and I'm going to find Lord Longyang and Prince Dan, maybe there will be unexpected gains." Teng Yi asked in astonishment: "Prince Pill?" Xiang Shaolong said: "In Xianyang City, no one should be more concerned about Tian Dan's life or death than him, who else should we turn to?"

Then he said softly: "Send someone to tell Zhizhi that I really can't spare any time today." At this moment, he made up his mind never to tell Zhao Zhi about Shanrou's murder. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Lord Longyang was overjoyed to see that Xiang Shaolong came looking for him.He led him to the quiet Dongxuan of the Xingfu. After listening to him, I felt very sorry for him. I comforted him a few words, but knowing that it would not help the matter, I turned to the main topic and said: "The horse plague has recently occurred in Qi State. I think he just misses you." Give him one or two thousand first-class war horses for his urgent needs! Of course, he may also ask you to do something to harm Lu Buwei; he is more scrupulous about Lu Buwei than Qin people. Just because Lu Buwei has been on the court for less than three years, He actually won three more strategic counties for the people of Qin, but you know how powerful Lu Buwei is, if the state of Qin changes the world of the Lu family, everyone will end up with hatred."

Xiang Shaolong said in a deep voice: "Will your lord object to my killing Tian Dan?" Lord Longyang shook his head and said: "Not only will it not be possible, but it will be too late for me to be happy. You guessed right, Tian Dan will return to Qi through Chu. There is an army of 10,000 people, led by his confidant Tian Rong, waiting for him there. You have to launch an attack before they meet. Apart from Qin, the biggest threat to us is the people of Qi. If Tian Dan can be removed, everyone in the three Jins will celebrate. Last time he was the only one who didn't join the joint army, which caused public outrage. He clearly wants to take advantage of the fisherman."

Xuan sighed again: "I only hate that our current troops are all concentrated to defend the border of Wei and Qin. It is really difficult to get people to help you, and the king may not agree. But I can let people investigate the situation of the Qi army and Chu people in the Chu territory, and ensure that it is accurate and appropriate." .” Xiang Shaolong said gratefully: "This has helped me a lot. I am sure to teach him to die without a place to bury him with my own strength. I wonder how many people Tian Dan has come this time?" Lord Longyang said: "There are about 300 people in the city, and there is a Qi cavalry stationed outside the city. The number is between a thousand and they are the elite of the Qi army. If you add Li Yuan's people, the total strength will exceed three Thousands of people. Shaolong must not underestimate the enemy, especially if you can only attack them after they leave the Qin state, if one is not good, Tian Dan will bite back."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Of course I know that Tian Dan is powerful, but I also have some abilities that he can't even dream of." How did Mr. Long Yang know that he was referring to the tactics and techniques of the 21st century.Thinking that he has enough strength, he said casually: "You have the king's life, Shaolong, how can you just slip away for a few months?" This is difficult to explain. Could it be that you tell him that he has a special relationship with the prince? Xiang Shaolong sighed and said, "I will find a solution." After discussing the method of contact, Xiang Shaolong bid farewell and left, leaving Blast and Tiewei at Lord Longyang's place, walked on foot to the residence where Prince Dan lived, and reported the name of the official to the guard, and within a moment, Surrounded by several servants, Prince Dan came out to greet him in person.

Xiang Shaolong temporarily set aside the grievances and grievances of Xu Yiran who attacked him twice, and saluted: "Hello, Prince Dan, please forgive Xiang Shaolong for being late to greet him." When I saw him, I couldn't help but think of Jing Ke.If there is no assassination of Qin, I am afraid that I will not know that there is such a number one person as Prince Dan. Prince Dan with excellent manners readily saluted, and said: "General Xiang is a well-known figure in the universe. Yan Dan has long wanted to pay a visit. He is afraid that the general will be in a new important position and he is busy with affairs, so he plans to wait until after the field hunting. , now that the general is here, Yan Dan can only greet him backwards." He grabbed his hand and said in a low voice: "To tell the truth, Yan Dan is really jealous of the gifted girl Hua Guixiang." After saying that, he laughed out loud. Xiang Shaolong laughed along with him, he understood why Jing Ke would willingly sacrifice his life for him.None of the people who can be famous through the ages are simple people. Prince Dan introduced him to the people around him. Among them, three people were particularly impressive.The first one is the doctor Leng Ting, this gentleman is about forty years old, with a handsome appearance, a pair of long eyes shining with the light of wisdom, tall and tall, only two inches shorter than Xiang Shaolong, with long hands and feet , giving people the feeling of being as quiet as a virgin and moving like a rabbit, he should be a character with both civil and military skills. Then there was the general Xu Yize, just listening to the name, he was Xu Yiluan's brother, in his thirties, with a short stature, but with a huge head and thick bones, which was the type of body that those who were good at unarmed fighters were most wary of.At the same time, he has a calm demeanor, which makes people dare not treat him lightly. The other is You Zhi, who looks like a handsome young man like Prince Dan. When introduced, Yan Dan respected him as a gentleman. This person is only two or three years older than Prince Dan. He has a friendly smile on his face, giving people an excellent impression. impression.But Xiang Shaolong saw through that he was Prince Dan's chief think tank. After speaking politely, Prince Dan led him into the hall. After the guests and hosts sat down, two beauties who were even better than the singers of the Yan Kingdom sent by Lu Buwei came to serve everyone and serve tea. In addition to the three people who accompanied Yan Dan in the hall, there were also Yan Chuang and Yan Jun, two generals who should belong to the royal family of Yan, and the attendants withdrew out of the hall. After Xiang Shaolong took a sip of hot tea, he cut to the chase and said, "The young general wants to have a few secret words with the crown prince." Prince Dan was slightly taken aback, and after dismissing the two beauties, he said sincerely: "These are people whom Yan Dan absolutely trusts, and General Xiang can rest assured no matter what he said." Xiang Shaolong praised Prince Dan's unsuspecting attitude in employing people.Under the gaze of six pairs of eyes, he said nonchalantly, "I want to kill Tian Dan!" Prince Dan and the others were all shocked and dumbfounded.Only You Zhi still had that calm and composed attitude. Xiang Shaolong stared at Prince Dan, carefully observing his reaction. There was a sharp light in Prince Dan's eyes, and after staring at him for a while, he said in shock, "It's not surprising that the general has such intentions, but why did you come here to tell me?" Xiang Shaolong swept his eyes around everyone, and said slowly: "Before explaining, let me, Xiang Shaolong, write off the fact that the crown prince sent Xu Yiran to attack the young general twice, so that we can cooperate sincerely and don't need to hide from each other." These few words were even more earth-shattering. Even You Zhi, who was the calmest among the six, couldn't help showing a look of shock, let alone the others. By now Prince Dan and others certainly know that Dong Kuang and Xiang Shaolong are one and the same person. There was a strange atmosphere between the two parties. After a long while, Yan Dan let out a long sigh, stood up and said, "Brother Xiang, please don't blame Yan Dan, for the sake of our country, Yan Dan has done many things against his will." Xiang Shaolong hurriedly got up to return the gift, Xinqing did not pick the wrong person.If Prince Dan categorically denies it, he will ignore this person in the future. After the two sat down, the atmosphere was very different. Appreciation flashed across Leng Ting's eyes, he nodded and said, "It's only at this moment that I understand why the general can rule Zhao and Wei, and can stand against Lu Buwei in Qin." You Zhi said indifferently: "General Xiang knows whether he wants to kill Tian Dan or not. It is really a matter of no comparison. Besides, as a general of Qin, General Xiang has scruples about this matter." Xiang Shaolong knew that he was testing his own details, if he just wanted to get rid of Tian Dan through the hands of the Yan people, and he would hide behind his back, he would naturally teach these six people to look down on him. In the final analysis, this is still a transaction, and whether it is successful or not depends entirely on the size of the interests. Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Now Li Yuan and Tian Dan are working hand in hand, and the former gave birth to the crown prince through his sister Li Yanyan. If Xiaolie dies, Li Yuan, a newcomer, will have to rely on the strength of the people of Qi to deal with the prince in Chu State. The deeply entrenched Lord Chunshen; Tian Dan will use the power of Li Yuan to drag the Three Jins so that he can expand his power to his neighbors. Therefore, to deal with Tian Dan, Li Yuan has to be counted. As for the Qin military, except Except for Lu Buwei, I have wonderful methods to clear them up, so you can rest assured." Prince Dan breathed out a long breath and said, "It is only now that Yan Dan has personally realized how powerful Brother Xiang is, and has a thorough insight into the situation of various countries. I will not say more, and I will ask Brother Xiang how to solve the problem of the Chu people. Know Tian Danruo Walking with Li Yuan, our strength has greatly increased, and when we reach the Chu state, there will be troops from both sides supporting us, so it can be said that we are invulnerable, even if we have this intention, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve our goal." Xiang Shaolong revealed an inscrutable smile, and said calmly: "The matter of Li Yuan is on the young general's shoulders. I will teach him to leave Qin and return to Chu before hunting in the field, so as to break the trend of the two joining forces. People who are selfish by nature don’t have time to care about their partners when they can’t take care of themselves.” Everyone was confused. Xu Yi couldn't help but said, "What tricks does General Xiang have up his sleeve?" Xiang Shaolong said without hesitation: "Please forgive me for making a fool of myself, but this matter will be resolved within these two days. If I can't even do this little thing, I won't have the face to see you." Prince Dan said decisively: "Okay! As expected of Xiang Shaolong, if Li Yuan really slipped back to Chu State before the field hunt, we will work together so that this dog thief Tian Dan will never be able to return to Qi State." Xiang Shaolong knew this result a long time ago. Yan and Qi are neighbors, and they have always been incompatible, seeking each other's land. In addition, the Yan people once invaded Qi and were broken by Tian Dan. Their success was on the verge of failure. Since they hated Tian Dan, if there was a chance to get rid of Tian Dan, they would not let it go . For them, the most scruples is Li Yuan.If Li Yuan is killed together, and Qi and Chu are offended at the same time, two countries that are stronger than the Yan people, it is not just a joke. Now if there is no concern about the people of Chu, and the responsibility can be pushed on Xiang Shaolong afterwards, why not do it. After Xiang Shaolong shook hands with Prince Dan and made an oath, he hurried to find Duke Lu to carry out the next big plan. After returning from his mission, he was still so active in doing one thing.Only now did he realize how deeply he loves Shanrou. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Xiang Shaolong said in a deep voice, "I want to kill Tian Dan." Lu Gong was startled, and said in amazement: "What did you say?" This was the fifth time Xiang Shaolong said today that he wanted to kill Tian Dan.The first time he said it in front of Tian Dan himself, then he said it to Teng Yi, Lord Longyang, Prince Dan, and now he said it to the top general in Qin's military in Lu Gong's Neixuan. It would be unprecedented, if not unprecedented, to kill such a blatantly famous person like Tian Dan. Xiang Shaolong said in a tone full of confidence and persuasion: "This is the only way to get rid of the Qin court and become the Lu family's world." Duke Lu was puzzled and said, "What does this have to do with Tian Dan?" Xiang Shaolong said indifferently: "Recently all the countries in the east have joined forces to attack our Great Qin, why is Qi alone missing?" Duke Lu showed a pensive look, and after a while he asked, "Does Shaolong mean that Lu Buwei and Tian Dan are colluding with each other?" Xiang Shaolong said confidently: "In the past, Lu Buwei was most afraid of not having military merits. Now that he has established the three eastern counties successively, his meritorious service has surpassed the sky, and his position has been stabilized. He has also received a profound lesson from the five-nation coalition, so the immediate priority is no longer to conquer the east, but He wants to consolidate his power in Daqin, and what happened to Zheng Guoqu is just his first step towards this goal." Lu Gong was moved when he heard the words. In the past two days, he had complained many times in front of Xu Xian, Wang He and other military generals, scolding Lu Buwei for his ulterior motives, wasting so much money for the construction of canals, wasting national strength, and delaying the great cause of reunification. Xiang Shaolong knew his intentions, so he drummed his tongue and said: "So now Lu Buwei has united with Chu, isolated the three Jins and the Yan people, in order to turn from outside to inside, and focus on establishing his power in the country. If he succeeds, At that time, my Daqin will fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames." Nothing in this speech could have caused a greater shock to Duke Lu, a Daqinist, than the last sentence. After Lu Gong pondered for a long while, he raised his head, his eyes flickered, he stared at Xiang Shaolong with the huge eyes of the copper bell for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Before talking about this matter, I want to ask Shaolong you Untie a knot in my heart, why are you so sure that the Crown Prince is not Lu Buwei's bastard?" Xiang Shaolong was secretly happy, knowing that Lu Gong was moved by him, so he had to figure out this issue at this moment, so that he could decide whether to continue the talk. Looking at him frankly, he said: "The reason is very simple. Because I also had doubts about this matter, I asked Lu Buwei's confidant Xiao Yuetan about it before he died. In those days, Empress Ji only served the former king alone." Lu Gong frowned and said: "I know who Xiao Yuetan is, he should be one of the insiders, but since he is Lu Buwei's confidant, it is not uncommon for him to hide the truth for him until his death." Xiang Shaolong's eyes turned red, and he said sadly: "Before Xiao Yuetan died, not only was he not Lu Buwei's confidant, but he also hated him to the bone, because the person who killed him was Lu Buwei." Lu Gong didn't show much shock, he stretched out his hand, grabbed Xiang Shaolong's shoulder, and said nervously: "Do you have any physical evidence for this matter?" Xiang Shaolong shook his head sadly and angrily. Lu Gong let him go, and said dejectedly: "We have conducted an in-depth investigation on this matter, but because those who came back alive knew nothing about this matter, and Qu Douchi and his people were missing, so even though they are There are many doubts, and we still have nothing to do with Lu Buwei. But just because you retreated to the ranch immediately after you came back, we know it's not right." Sighing, he continued: "I firmly believe that Shaolong's words are true, it seems that there is no need to confess blood." Xiang Shaolong shook his head resolutely and said: "No! This matter must be carried out according to the plan. Only in this way can we be sure that the crown prince is the flesh and blood of the previous king." Lu Gong looked at him deeply and said, "I like Shaolong's attitude. Yesterday Du Bi came to me and said that you had whispered something in the ear of the late king before he died, and the late king went away. What did the dragon say?" Xiang Shaolong knew that Du Bi was informed of this by Mrs. Xiuli, so he said without hesitation: "I told the late king, if he was murdered to death, even if I go through fire and water, I will avenge him." Of course the original words were not like this, Xiang Shaolong deliberately distorted a little, avoiding Lu Buwei's name, and turned it into just a "hypothesis". Lu Gong stood up abruptly, his eyes shot a sharp light, stomped his feet and looked up to the sky with a mournful cry, and when he stopped, he shouted violently: "Okay! Shaolong, how can you ask me, Lu Gong, to help you?" Xiang Shaolong hurriedly stood up with him, and respectfully said: "Lv Buwei's power has greatly increased now. In order to avoid civil strife, we must first break his plot to seduce outsiders. If Tian Dan can be killed, it will not only be of great benefit to us, Great Qin, to unify the world, but also to protect the world." Force Lu Buwei to deal with foreign aggression to protect the three counties in the east, then we can gradually eliminate his influence in the country." Lu Gong was obviously angry in his heart, grabbed Xiang Shaolong's arm, came to the back garden, gritted his teeth with a tense old face, and said: "Why don't we summon a large army, directly attack Lu Buwei's lair, and kill him without leaving a single one behind?" ? As long as Chu Jun nods, I can easily do this." Xiang Shaolong said in a low voice: "Don't do it, now that Lu Buwei is very popular, if the news leaks out and he preemptively strikes, it will be a big disaster, maybe the prince and queen mother will be harmed; secondly, if it succeeds, Cheng Yu and Lord Gaoling The two lines of people will take advantage of the momentum to compete for the throne, if the Qin family falls into this situation, and the six southeastern countries fan the flames, the Great Qin may fall apart, and the three families will be divided into Jin Dynasty, which is a lesson to learn from." After Lu Gongrong's countenance changed, he pressed Xiang Shaolong's shoulder weakly, and said in a low voice: "Tell me! How can I help you?" Xiang Shaolong burst into ecstasy, knowing that with Lu Gong's nod like this, at least half of Tian Dan's life fell into his control.
