Chapter 149 Chapter 1 Xianyang Wind and Rain

Xiang Shaolong carefully inspected the half glass of fine wine that Shan Meimei brought to his lips, but he couldn't see anything unusual. He did not believe that powdered medicine could be dissolved in wine without stirring, but under the dim light of the ancient oil lamp, it was difficult to see the mystery in the wine clearly. He immediately gave up on dealing with Guan Zhongxie by exposing the cup of poisoned wine.It must be that this matter is not feasible, because as long as Shan Meimei is caught, there is no fear that she will not confess that the mastermind behind it is Guan Zhongxie.

The problem is that waiting for Ruo and Lu Buwei to blatantly tear their faces apart, and they lost the delicate situation of intrigue all along.Just think about Lu Buwei's seven or eight years of good life, and you will know how unwise this approach is.If this matter is involved in Lao Ai, it will be more complicated. At the same time, I thought that if I could pretend to drink this cup of poisoned wine, then Guan Zhongxie and Mo Ao would never devise other tricks to frame me, and would be suspicious afterwards, thinking that I was not afraid of poisoned wine, or that Shan Meimei did not follow orders, Wouldn't it be better to doubt yourself blindly.

These thoughts flashed across Xiang Shaolong's mind at a high speed, and he had already made up his mind. Xiang Shaolong took the poisoned wine in one hand, and held Shan Meimei's charming waist in the other, he laughed and said, "Miss Meimei has to take another sip, it's only half a glass." With Gui Yan on their backs and Guan Zhongxie and others at the banquet, they wanted to force Shan Meimei to take a sip of wine. Shan Meimei's face paled immediately, she leaned back to avoid it, and exclaimed: "How can Mr. Xiang be so barbaric!" Xiang Shaolong took the opportunity to loosen his arms around her waist, Shan Meimei exerted too much force and immediately fell down on the mat.

While Chang Ping Jun and the others at the table were all focused on Shan Meimei, Xiang Shaolong moved his hand down, splashed the wine a few times, and used the movement of lifting the femme fatale to cover it up perfectly. Shan Meimei sat upright, she was completely shocked and speechless. Xiang Shaolong laughed loudly and said: "Miss Tired fell, it was my fault, she should be punished!" He raised his glass to pretend to drink it down. Jun Changping who was opposite sighed: "It turns out that Mr. Xiang is so resourceful. This is the first time I have seen Miss Meimei willing to lie down obediently at the banquet in public." There was another burst of laughter in the venue.

Xiang Shaolong put down his wine glass, only to see Shan Meimei lowering her head shyly, so that no one could see through her inner panic, her expression was extremely subtle. Gui Yan on the left pours wine for him again. Guan Zhongxie said with a smile: "If Mr. Xiang can bear the pain for a while, maybe we can get Miss Meimei to lie down again tonight in return!" Brother Changping laughed again, while the girls put on a shy look, laughing and cursing endlessly. Xiang Shaolong reached out and hugged Shan Meimei's soft waist tightly, brought the wine to her lips, and said softly: "This glass should be used as an apology!"

Shan Meimei raised her fragrant lips, looked at him with a complicated expression, and silently drank the whole glass of wine. Everyone burst into applause. Gui Yan Buyi on the other side said: "Master Xiang is treating one more than another!" Seeing that Guan Zhongxie was not suspicious, Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed and said, "I am the most fair person, come! Let me serve Miss Guiyan to drink." Chang Wenjun yelled strangely: "What's the point of drinking, you have to feed the wine mouth to mouth." Gui Yan groaned, and actually lay down on his lap, with a seductive look inviting Jun to chew, but luckily it didn't press on the wound on the back.

Although Xiang Shaolong had a jade body stretched across his legs in front of his eyes, there was no great fluctuation in his heart. On the one hand, his mind was still on Shan Meimei and Guan Zhongxie, secretly observing their reactions; on the other hand, he always thought that Gui Yan was just here on order It's all hypocrisy to please myself, the chief of the military and police in the capital. Although Gui Yan's beauty is not as good as that of Shan Meimei, but among all the girls, only Yang Yu, who is serving Guan Zhongxie, can compete with her in beauty, and it is a joy to take advantage of her.So he took a sip of the wine, lowered his head and kissed Gui Yan's fragrant lips, and passed.

Gui Yanjiao breathed heavily, and drank skillfully and cooperatively. It was not easy to lean up and drink like this, but it was really thanks to her. Under everyone's strange laughter and applause, when Xiang Shaolong was about to retreat, he wrapped Gui Yan's hands tightly, vomited the letter secretly, and fed back half a sip of wine. Xiang Shaolong couldn't help feeling ecstasy, he let go of his arms and greeted him with tongue, after enjoying it for a while, he separated from Gui Yan with burning cheeks. Mr. Changping and others applauded. Gui Yan approached him softly and feebly, and coquettishly said: "Master Xiang, don't leave tonight, please? I will guarantee that your leg injury will not worsen."

Since she was whispering these two words, only Shan Meimei on the other side heard these two words. The latter's expression darkened, and she lowered her head, obviously because Xiang Shaolong "does not die soon", and she is the murderer of him. . Xiang Shaolong kissed Gui Yan's pink neck, and said with a smile: "If you can't enjoy this kind of thing, it will be nothing but hard work." Then he reached out and put his arm around Shan Meimei's slender waist, pretending to be surprised: "Is there something wrong with Miss Meimei?" What's on your mind?"

Shan Meimei was taken aback, and said insincerely: "Master Xiang only loves Sister Yan, so of course she is unhappy." Guan Zhongxie hastily covered up for Shan Meimei and said: "Master Xiang can make our eyes look higher than the top, and Miss Meimei, who is lonely and self-admired, is jealous, which shows your ability. Now it's my brother's turn to be jealous of you." When Xiang Shaolong secretly scolded who is your brother, Chang Wenjun said with a smile: "This is another sip of wine that Mr. Xiang will definitely not spare." Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that if he didn't do anything, it would be good to tease this murderer and beauty.Then he took another sip of wine, bowed his head to find Shan Meimei's cherry lips, passed her over, and still didn't let her go after that, kissed her bitterly, Chen Cang secretly crossed, using various kissing methods of the 21st century, treating her extremely Do what you can to be provocative.

Shan Meimei's originally cold and rigid body softened, and she responded enthusiastically. Xiang Shaolong sighed inwardly, knowing that Shan Meimei felt guilty and betrayed her true feelings under the stimulation of this unusual and thought that her life was not long. After parting her lips, tears glistened in the corners of Shan Meimei's eyes, it was obvious that she had no choice but to harm him with poison and wine. Xiang Shaolong didn't want to leave in a hurry, for he was afraid that people would notice a few wet wine stains. At this time, Gui Yan came to pester him again, Xiang Shaolong had an idea, and pretended to be an elbow and accidentally knocked the wine that still had more than half of the glass down on the table, covering the original wine stains. After some commotion, Shan Meimei unexpectedly excused herself to be unwell and retired first.Without this most popular girl, the enthusiasm of the two Changpingjun brothers dropped greatly, and Xiang Shaolong took the opportunity to say goodbye. Gui Yan didn't know whether it was the truth or a lie, so she sent him straight to the square where the carriage was parked at the gate, and urged him to come back to find her, and forced him to make a promise before letting him go to Changping Jun's carriage. Suddenly, Xiang Shaolong fell in love with this ancient "Black Panther Bar". ◇◇◇◇◇◇ When he returned to the government office, he saw Teng Yi who was on duty at night, and talked about what happened just now, and the latter also wiped his cold sweat for him. Teng Yi sighed: "Our brains are really not flexible enough, we always think that Mo Ao's treachery was carried out during the field hunting, how could we know that he secretly tricked the beauties tonight, if we know the properties of the medicine, Shaolong can pretend to be even better Get serious." Xiang Shaolong affirmed: "The poison must have taken effect after hunting in the field." Teng Yi said in surprise, "How can the third brother be so sure?" Xiang Shaolong said: "Tell me first that Mo Ao made a batch of tools that can be used to assassinate underwater. They should be used to deal with you and Jing Jun. If I die from poison afterward, even if the Wu family wants to take revenge." No one is available." Teng Yi said furiously: "If I teach Mo Ao to survive these three days of field hunting, I will change his surname." Suddenly Xiang Shaolong's expression changed drastically, and he said, "We've always been thinking about our own people, maybe Mo Ao's assassination targets included Duke Lu and Xu Xian, and that would be bad." Teng Yi breathed out a cold breath and said, "Lu Buwei isn't that bold, is he?" Xiang Shaolong said: "Normally, I wouldn't dare to be so bold, but now the situation is chaotic, and Lord Gaoling's rebellion is involved. Afterwards, Lu Buwei can put all the blame on Lord Gaoling. If he does the calculation with his heart or not, Lu Buwei has a chance to succeed. It's just too high." Thinking of this, I couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said: "I'm going to see Duke Lu, and give him an early warning." Teng Yi said: "I think you'd better go see Xu Xian first. In terms of shrewdness, Mr. Lu is no better than him in shooting horses. If he trusts us, he will make proper arrangements." Xiang Shaolong thought it was true, under the wings of eighteen iron guards and more than a hundred cavalry troops, he pretended to patrol the defense of the city, and went to Xu Xian's Zuo Chancellor's residence next to the palace. Since he is now the commander of the capital and guard, except for the palace, everything inside and outside the city is within his authority. Because the banquet just ended early, it is only the beginning of the shift, but except for a few flower streets, there are very few pedestrians in other places, except for occasional cars and horses passing by. When he arrived at Zuo Xiangfu, Xu Xian heard that he had met him in the inner hall. This outstanding figure, one of the three famous generals of the Western Qin Dynasty, smiled and said: "I knew that Shaolong would come to see me before the field hunt." Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said, "Why does Xu Xiang have such an idea?" Xu Xian sighed and said, "Since Duke Mu, our Great Qin has become one of the overlords in the world. It's a pity that the way out to the east has been blocked by the Jin people with all their strength, so we can only turn around and use troops to the west. We have opened up thousands of miles. When Duke Mu passed away, most of the land in the Wei River Basin fell into our hands. But from then until the establishment of Dongsan County, we have made no progress for more than two hundred years. The reason is that Rather than saying that the way out is blocked, it is better to say that there is an internal problem. If I am strong, who can stop me? So this is still a question of who is strong and who is weak." Xiang Shaolong didn't care much about the history at that time, so he could only nod his head to be taught. Xu Xian talked about the rise of prosperity, and sighed: "After the three families were divided into Jin Dynasty, we should take advantage of the time to rise up. Unfortunately, during the past forty years, the government went wrong, and the power fell into the hands of chaotic officials. A rough calculation, a monarch was forced to Suicide, a crown prince was refused the throne, another monarch and his mother were murdered together, and their bodies sank into the abyss. The Wei people took advantage of our civil strife and invaded repeatedly, causing us to lose the land of Hexi." Xiang Shaolong began to understand what Xu Xian meant, and now Lu Buwei is walking on this old road.Regardless of whether Lu Buwei succeeds in seizing power, or even abolishes Xiaopan, the final result is that Qin will never be able to dominate the world, which is what Xu Xian cares most about. Xu Xian stood up and said in a deep voice, "Shaolong! Come with me to the backyard for a walk!" Xiang Shaolong felt a lump in his heart, knowing that he must have some secret and important matter to discuss. Under the bright moon, the two stepped into the back garden and walked along the path. Xu Xian sighed and said: "We Qin people and Rongdi are only separated by a thin line, and we don't escape the barbaric style. Although the capital of the Zhou Dynasty was built here, it is just like a ragged brocade. Once the Zhou Dynasty is gone, the rags are still there, and it is still a folk custom. Rough and wild. Fortunately, when Xiao Gong used Shang Yang to reform the law, he used severe punishments and severe laws to cultivate the habit of obeying the rules. He also paid attention to military merits. Only from foreign wars can he be rewarded. This made us invincible in the world. However, Lu Buwei is so invincible Do it, use private individuals arbitrarily, and introduce the sluggishness of the six kingdoms into our Great Qin, so that the villain is in power, and the crowd tends to flatter and compete with each other. This is really not good for our Great Qin. His Lu Shichunqiu I I've seen it, hum! If Shang Yang comes back from the dead, he will burn it down." Xiang Shaolong finally heard another opinion besides the xenophobic motive of Lu Gong, the Daqinist, that is the basic conflict of thought.Lu Buwei is too arrogant and subjective, and he doesn't understand the mentality of Qin people at all. Most of the Qin people he came into contact with were honest and simple, and they didn't like to be fake, Xu Xian, Lu Gong, Wang Lu, brothers Changping Jun, An Guxi, etc. were all like this.In comparison, Lu Buwei, Mo Ao, Guan Zhongxie, Lao Ai, etc. are all different. The reason why the Qin people are invincible in the world is precisely because they are the most powerful nation, coupled with Shang Yang's discipline, it is really who can compete. Lu Buwei used Guan Zhongxie and Lu Xiong, who had no achievements, and thought about it when the latter committed crimes, which is what the people of Qin hate the most. Xiao Pan dealt with Lu Xiong in a stern and decisive way, and this move was completely right. Xu Xian stopped, his burning eyes fell on Xiang Shaolong's face, and he said in a deep voice: "I am not rejecting Lu Buwei because he is not of my race, Shang Jun is a guard, but he is the most respected by me." Xiang Shaolong nodded and said, "I understand Xu Xiang's meaning." Xu Xian shook his head and sighed: "Lu Buwei tied himself in a cocoon, thinking that if he harmed the king, the Qin family and the world would belong to him. Who knows that God has not yet given up on me, Da Qin, and has become the wise lord, the crown prince, so even if I, Xu Xian, am smashed to pieces, I will still protect myself." Crown Prince until he is officially on the throne." Xiang Shaolong was taken aback secretly, and said: "From Xu Xiang's tone, the situation seems to be quite critical." Xu Xian took him to sit down on a stone next to a small bridge, and said in a low voice: "At first, I wasn't worried. The nearby armies have all been evacuated, and now the capital is only supported by the Imperial Guard, Duqi, and Duwei, and the situation is dangerous, which is the first time we have seen it in a century." Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "According to what I know, the Dongjun civil rebellion was a conspiracy by Lord Gao Ling and Zhao General Pang Nuan. Didn't Lu Buwei explain this clearly?" Xu Xian's face was full of gloom, and he snorted and said: "Although I said that, everyone knows how much Gaoling Lord weighs. Ten Gaoling Lords can't beat Lu Buwei half. Sudden awakening, hastily dealt with it?" There was a chill in Xiang Shaolong's heart, and he muttered: "Xu Xiang means——" Xu Xian said decisively: "This matter must have something to do with Lu Buwei. As long as Lu Buwei puts spies among Lord Gaoling's advisers, he can control Lord Gaoling like a doll pulling strings and create such a situation." Then he said solemnly: "As long as Lu Buwei can get rid of you and the two deputy commanders during this period, and both cavalry and guards will fall into Lu Buwei's hands, then what do you think will happen? I The reason why I guessed that you will come to see me tonight is very simple, that is, if you are not from Lu Buwei, with your intelligence, you will definitely find something inappropriate, does Shaolong understand?" Xiang Shaolong secretly called out for danger, it was not easy to gain Xu Xian's trust, until just now, Xu Xian was still suspecting that he was Lu Buwei's ingenious pawn, or it could be said that he was an anti-spy with multiple identities. A little embarrassed, he said: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for trusting me." He was puzzled and said, "Even though Lu Buwei has both cavalry and guards in his hands, if his target is the Crown Prince, no one will listen to his orders." Xu Xian sighed: "Shaolong is still inexperienced, unless Lu Buwei gets all the military power, he will never touch half a hair of the prince. On Lord Gaoling, wasn’t the Qin family still under his control at that time? Needless to say, Meng Ao, a foolish man like Wang Lu, couldn’t do anything alone in that situation, and with the Queen Mother protecting Lu Buwei, who would dare to provoke him? ?” Then his eyes flashed sharply and he said: "The first mover controls the people, and the late mover is controlled by others. If Lu Buwei does not die for a day, we will never have a good life. Daqin will repeat the same mistakes and be trapped by powerful ministers." Xiang Shaolong almost groaned.From Xu Xian's point of view, the strategy is completely correct.The problem is that Xiang Shaolong knew that no one would kill Lu Buwei before Xiao Pan came to the throne.If he lost his life, he would naturally lose his life.How could this matter be escaped? I just hate that he couldn't use this reason to persuade Xu Xian to dismiss his intention. Could it be that he was told in the history that Lu Buwei would not be finished so soon? When he was having a headache, Xu Xian said again: "As long as the Crown Prince is willing to nod his head, I can guarantee that Lu Buwei will not survive these three days." Xiang Shaolong sighed: "Has Xu Xiang thought about the consequences?" Xu Xian snorted coldly and said, "The three most problematic people are Empress Dowager Ji, Meng Ao and Du Bi. The most difficult thing to deal with is Du Bi. Once Lu Buwei is gone, he will take the opportunity to support Cheng Yu. If there is no such concern, the former king will die. At that time, Lu Gong and I had already started fighting. Of course! Another reason is that Wang Lu objected from it. That's why I hope you can convince Chujun that the person he trusts most now is you, Shaolong." Xiang Shaolong said: "I have another idea, first of all, we need to recognize the relatives through a drop of blood, and formally confirm that the prince and Lu Buwei have nothing to do with each other; the second is to kill Lu Buwei's first counselor, once this person is gone, Lu Buwei If you become a tiger without claws, you can't do anything evil; the third—” Xu Xian waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "Is that Mo Ao you're talking about?" Xiang Shaolong was surprised: "Xu Xiang has heard of this person?" Xu Xian wrote lightly: "I don't have the ability at all. How dare I go against Lu Buwei. It's better to kill Guan Zhongxie together. Openly attack, who can win the other party?" Xiang Shaolong knew that this point alone was not enough to impress this wise man, and said in a low voice: "The third is to bring out Lai Ai to fight against Lu Buwei, as long as it is delayed until the day when the crown prince is crowned, Lu Buwei will lose the game .” Xu Xianxiong was startled, and asked in confusion, "Isn't Lao Ai from Lu Buwei?" Xiang Shaolong put the plan on the plate, and said: "I also suggest that the prince give Lu Buwei the false title of second father, so as to satisfy his wolfish ambition." After Xu Xian took a deep breath, he looked at him for a long time as if he was meeting him for the first time, his eyes sparkled and he said: "When it comes to playing tricks and tricks, I'm afraid Mo Ao will let you a little bit, no wonder you are still alive today So healthy and lively." Xiang Shaolong secretly felt ashamed and said, "Fortunately, I didn't have a glass of wine tonight, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take Xu Xiang's words." Xu asked first, and he told what happened tonight. After hearing this, Xu Xian nodded in agreement and said, "You're right, if you don't kill Mo Ao for a day, you'll kill him sooner or later. According to my estimate, this glass of poisoned wine should break out in seven days. King Xiaowen drank it that day and brought it from Lu Buwei. After seven days, he suddenly had difficulty breathing and suffocated to death. Since there has never been a kind of poison that can suddenly attack after seven days, although we feel that there is something wrong with it, it is still difficult to point out that it was Lu Buwei's poisonous hands. Of course, we can't find it. There is no evidence. Sigh! Now no one dares to eat what Lu Buwei sent. It's really strange, as usual, the servant tried to drink the medicinal soup that killed King Xiaowen, but the servant was not poisoned?" Xiang Shaolong thought to himself that Mo Ao's skill in using poison is probably several times better than that of the dead ghost Zhao Mushang. You must know that even if it is a slow poison, there will always be signs of poisoning, and there will be signs of poisoning after eating it. Does it take seven days to poison people after swallowing it? Although in the 21st century, it may be difficult to do, unless the poison is wrapped in a special medicine bag, falls into the stomach and sticks to the stomach wall. After a period of time, the surface is corroded by gastric acid, and the poison escapes, causing people doom. Thinking of this, my heart moved, I wished I could go back to the Zuifeng Tower immediately, and check the place where I poured the poisoned wine, if there was such a poison wrapped in some kind of protection. Seeing that his face was bright and dark, Xu Xian asked, "What did you think of?" Xiang Shaolong said: "I was thinking how can I ask Xu Xiang to suspend dealing with Lu Buwei?" Xu Xian smiled and said: "I, Xu Xian, am I a reckless person who only shows off his courage. Since Shaolong has such a clever plan, Duke Lu and I will wait and see what happens. But if you can't kill Mo Ao, it's our turn to deal with it Lu Buwei is gone, it's better than killing him with poison." Xiang Shaolong patted his chest and promised: "Give me ten days! Maybe I can treat him in the same way as he did, and teach him to die without knowing why!" Xu Xian stared at him in astonishment, and for a moment speechless.
