Chapter 197 Chapter Two

The next morning, Xiang Shaolong, Ji Yanran and others sent Zou Yan out of the city, and walked with him for more than ten miles before saying goodbye. Zou Yan laughed, and led more than a hundred generals, under the wings of Wu Guo's Qiandu cavalry, and left casually. It was dusk when Xiang Shaolong returned to Xianyang. The rain and snow that stopped last night fell again. Xiang Shaolong thought of this Ruoyong farewell, couldn't help feeling sad!Thinking of the association with this great master who pioneered the study of arithmetic and mathematics in the whole of China, I have mixed feelings in my heart.If it wasn't for Grandmaster Zou, not only would he not have gotten the talented girl Ji, he might have lost his life as early as Daliang.

Stepping into the gate of the mansion, Tao Fang greeted him and said, "Ying Ying has been waiting for you in the east chamber for half an hour." Xiang Shaolong frowned when he heard this, he confessed his crime to all the beautiful wives, and came to the East Chamber. Ying Ying was waiting impatiently, and when she saw him, she complained, "Where have you been?" A kind of understanding flashed in Xiang Shaolong's heart, knowing that even if Ying Ying changed her mind, he would never accept her again. This is not because she was a woman who was in charge of evil, because for him who came from the 21st century, he didn't care about women's chastity at all.

He had wanted to pursue Yingying before, mainly because of Changping Jun's brotherly affection, and he was also a little bit greedy for her beauty.But after many encounters, the little fire of love for this beautiful woman has been extinguished because of her fickle character, regardless of seriousness and right and wrong. Even if someone put a knife on his neck now, he wouldn't touch Ying Ying anymore. After gaining this clear understanding, Xiang Shaolong politely asked her to sit down, and said, "Miss Ying, why do you want to find someone from Xiang?" Ying Ying could hear the indifference and distance in his tone, and after being stunned for a while, she lowered her head and said sadly: "I know you are annoyed, alas! Ying Ying doesn't know what to say. In three days, you will have a decisive battle with the evil spirit." Life, I'm really worried about you!"

Seeing that she wasn't here to persuade him to stop fighting, Xiang Shaolong felt a little fond of her.Thinking of the Baizhan Baodao and the newly realized Baizhan Saber Technique that combines ancient and modern achievements, he smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, miss. Life is always full of challenges, big and small, so that life can show a moving appearance." To be honest, if it weren't for the pressure of Guan Zhongxie, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to force this set of Hundred Battles Sword Technique. Yingying raised her pretty face slightly, her beautiful eyes showed a dazed look, and said softly: "I really don't know why I came to you, Zhongxie keeps practicing sword every day, and has researched various methods of breaking spears, alas! I know you are not good at using guns at all, so even if you have a flying dragon gun, I'm afraid... oh... people are very worried!"

Xiang Shaolong said lightly: "Aren't you worried about Guan Zhongxie?" Yingying nodded sadly, and said in a low voice, "Of course it's best not to compete, but I know that no one can change your decision." He lowered his head again, and said quietly: "Thank you very much for what you said to me that day. After thinking about it for a long time, I agreed to Yang Duanhe's marriage, but I haven't told my elder brother and second brother yet. Will propose marriage." Xiang Shaolong was stunned and let go of his worries. He has also met Yang Duan and this person, he is the youngest and most promising general under Wang Lu, he is highly valued by Lu Gong and Xu Xian, but he is also pursuing Ying Ying.With the current situation, anyone who can marry Ying Ying will be of great benefit to their official career, except for Guan Zhongxie.

Ying Ying sneaked a glance at him in a little panic, and asked tentatively, "Are you unhappy?" How dare Xiang Shaolong express a feeling of relief, and at the same time think that she really loves Guan Zhongxie, so even if he doesn't marry him, he won't marry into his own family.Su Rong said: "This is a wise choice, Yang Duanhe will be a very good husband." Yingying looked at him resentfully, but didn't speak. Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly: "Miss, since she has made up her mind for the rest of her life, she must not be half-hearted." Yingying said sadly, "Don't you blame me?"

Xiang Shaolong sighed, "What do you want me to say?" This sentence was indeed just right, Yingying calmed down, thought for a while and said, "You have to be careful!" Stand up pretty. Xiang Shaolong sent her out of the house, and before parting, Yingying said in a low voice: "If I could choose, I would want you to win, not only for myself, but also for our Daqin, Yingying finally figured it out." Before the words were finished, hot tears welled up in his eyes, and after looking at him sadly and helplessly, he covered his face, flew on the horse, and let his hooves go.

Xiang Shaolong stared blankly at Xianyang in the wind and snow, thinking about the sudden end of the relationship, and secretly made up his mind not to provoke any beautiful women again.But when I think about it, I know that it is one thing to think so, but another thing is the arrangement of fate. Aren't Mrs. Zhuang and Li Yanyan just two good examples? ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Xiang Shaolong returned to the inner house, and only after playing with Xiang Baoer for a while, Teng Yi and Jing Jun came back.The former looked stern, while the latter was apologetic. Ji Yanran saw something was wrong, so she asked.

After Teng Yi sat down, he clapped his hands and cursed: "I've already told this kid to be patient for a while and not to provoke Guo Xing, but he still can't help but do it the first time we meet." Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, "Second brother, don't get angry, Xiaojun, come and tell me what's going on." Seeing Xiang Shaolong's nonchalant look, everyone was surprised, even Jing Jun said in astonishment: "Third brother understands me best. Sigh! I'm not saying that second brother doesn't understand me, it's just that the two understandings are different."

When Teng Yi couldn't help but laugh, Wu Tingfang couldn't help laughing "puchi" and said, "Don't hesitate, just talk." Jing Jun put on an innocent and pitiful look, spread his hands and said, "I am definitely not the one who caused the trouble this time. Just now I was strolling in Zuifeng Tower, and happened to run into those traitors from the Weinan Samurai Hotel. Of course, 'Scarface' Guoxing was indispensable. I I made up my mind to turn a blind eye to them. Didn’t I know that they deliberately said some sarcastic remarks and insulted the third brother. I don’t want to repeat those words. In short, they have no scruples at all because they rely on Lai Ai to support them. I can bear anything , but we cannot tolerate them spreading rumors that damage San Ge's reputation."

Zhao Zhi frowned and said, "What did they say?" Teng Yi said in a deep voice: "Those people are indeed going too far, saying that the third younger brother is Lu Buwei's favorite boy, hey, it's a good thing they said so." Ji Yanran's beautiful eyes flickered sharply, and she said coldly: "If Yanran hears about it, he will definitely kill him immediately." Wu Tingfang said angrily, "Xiaojun, how are you going to teach them?" Jing Jun smiled bitterly and said: "We only have eight people, but there are more than ten of them, and Guoxing's swordsmanship is very good, so we can't take advantage of them, and even injured two of them. It happened that Lai Ai came and killed them After drinking, I just asked them to apologize perfunctorily. I followed my second brother's order to avoid conflicts with Lao Ai, so I walked away with anger, and my second brother still blamed me." Teng Yi said angrily: "Why did I tell you, I told you not to go shopping in brothels long ago, but you didn't listen to me." On the contrary, Xiang Shaolong was calm, because he had expected that Lai Ai would become more and more arrogant.After thinking for a while, he asked, "Who are the people in the Weinan Samurai Village?" Jing Jun hurriedly said: "Of course the most powerful one is the owner of the pavilion, Qiu Risheng. Many generals in my dynasty are from his sect, and then there are the three major teaching chairs including Guoxing, and the other two are a regular. Jie, one named An Jinliang, is a famous swordsman in Xianyang. Lai Ai doted on them, and if there are hundreds of relatives, these people hope that through Lai Ai's relationship, they can get in touch with the Queen Mother so that they can enter the court Appointment. I heard that Lu Buwei is also very dissatisfied with the reopening of the Weinan Samurai Hotel, but it's just hindering the Queen Mother, so I have nothing to say!" Teng Yi added: "There are many swordsmen from various countries in the Weinan Samurai Village, good and bad, but there are many good players among them. Now everyone regards you as the imaginary enemy, Shaolong, because if you win, you will immediately become the first sword in the Great Qin Dynasty. Hands are worth a hundred times. Alas! These people always think that the reason why Shaolong became the number one celebrity next to Chu Jun is all due to his superb swordsmanship!" Xiang Shaolong thought to himself that this was the unnecessary trouble of becoming the best fighter in the world in martial arts novels.If it weren't for my official position and a large number of personal guards when I go in and out, I'm afraid someone would have blocked the way and challenged him. Nodding his head, he said: "Let them say whatever they want! Voiceless and clear. But if they go too far, we shouldn't tolerate it, but everything should wait until after the decisive battle with Guan Zhongxie. Unless we don't do anything, if we don't If we do it, we must teach Qiu Risheng that he will never be reborn." His eyes flashed coldly, he stared at Jing Jun and said, "You already have Lu Dan'er, so you should take care of yourself and practice martial arts diligently, otherwise you will lose us when you face the masters of the Weinan Samurai Pavilion in the future. Face, is it clear?" It was rare for Xiang Shaolong to speak harshly to Jing Jun, he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he bowed his head to agree. Xiang Shaolong glanced over the crowd, laughed and said, "One day we'll simply go to that hotel, let them taste the second brother's Mozi sword, Yanran's Tianlong gun, and let them see what is called Let's fight swordsmanship!" ◇◇◇◇◇◇ next morning. Xiang Shaolong unleashed the Hundred Wars Saber Technique, and for a while, the area around Zhang Xu was filled with cold light, unparalleled in might. Even with Teng Yi's ability, he couldn't use Mozi's swordsmanship, but the Mo sword is the main guard, so he can still rely on his strong arm strength and heavy wooden sword to stick to a very narrow circle, blocking what seems to be coming from all directions. The sword of a thousand battles that comes on the attack and shoots out in all directions. Jing Jun, Tao Fang and others who saw the Baizhan sword technique for the first time were all dumbfounded, they never expected such a terrifying weapon and sharp and swift sword technique.When the swords and swords meet, there is always a loud sound of gold and wood, adding to the fierceness. Since Xiang Shaolong came out with the saber, the two fought fiercely for hundreds of moves, but Teng Yi still couldn't find a flaw in the sword of hundreds of battles, so he counterattacked. Xiang Shaolong, however, was extremely carefree. Because he used the natural method of martial arts in the 21st century that is in line with physics and mechanics, combined with the characteristics of Baodao that is good at chopping, using the weight of Baizhan Dao and the assistance of waist steps, he It takes very little energy to use the knife, and such a fierce offensive seems to last indefinitely, causing the opponent to feel that it is difficult to resist psychologically.Therefore, with Teng Yi's ability, he is still at a complete disadvantage. Suddenly Wu Tingfang screamed: "Stop!" Xiang Shaolong didn't know what to do, he went in, and when he heard the words, he withdrew his knife and backed away. Everyone looked at her in astonishment. Wu Tingfang's pretty face flushed slightly, and said awkwardly: "Don't look at him like that, I'm really afraid that Xiang Lang's second brother will be an evil in the middle!" Xiang Shaolong and Teng Yi looked at each other, and burst out laughing. Teng Yi looked at his right hand that was trembling due to exhaustion, and gasped, "Ting Fang's call to stop was very timely, otherwise I might make a fool of myself on the spot. The Hundred Wars Sword is certainly powerful, but the real powerful thing is The third brother's saber technique, coming and going, is just a few straight cuts, diagonal chops and sweeps, but the changes are endless, the angles are tricky, if there is a divine help, it is worthy of the name of a hundred battles." Xiang Shaolong smiled at Jing Jun, "Do you want to play with Xiaojun?" Jing Jun smiled wryly and said, "How will tomorrow be? Now I'm so scared that I can't even think of doing it." It was rare for the crowd to see Jing Jun being so modest, and burst into laughter. Tao Fang said: "Having seen the power of Shaolong, now I can't wait to see the duel between Shaolong and Guan Zhongxie!" At this time, Wu Guang walked up to Xiang Shaolong, said a few words in a low voice, Xiang Shaolong handed the Baizhan Saber to Zhao Zhi, greeted Teng Yi, Jing Jun and his wives, and walked towards the inner hall. Teng Yi caught up with him and asked, "What's the matter?" Xiang Shaolong said in a low voice: "Xiao Wu and Xiao Tian came secretly." ◇◇◇◇◇◇ After Shi Li was seated, Meng Wuxin said submissively: "Master Xiang is really good at using soldiers like a god. Tang Yi is my father's number one brave general, and he has an overwhelming advantage, yet he was defeated by you and returned." Meng Tian continued: "Father is furious, but there is nothing he can do, but we know Father's temper best, he will never let it go." The three women exchanged glances, only then did they realize that Meng Ao did not risk himself, and led the troops himself. Meng Wu said in distress: "Up to now we don't understand why father is so devoted to this old thief Lu Buwei." Meng Tian said angrily: "It must be Lu Buwei who sent that mother-in-law to seduce father, so that father refused to listen to mother's words. Mother told us many times that Lu Buwei is a wolf by nature and will never end well. Although father Confused, but we don't learn from him. Alas!" Only then did Xiang Shaolong realize that the two of them were so close to them, apart from having a relationship that had gone through hardships together and being persecuted by Lu Buwei, it was also involved in internal family disputes. Jing Jun got along with them the most, he patted his chest and said: "Sorry! The prince knows the loyalty of the two of you, no matter what your father does, it will not hurt you." Xiang Shaolong nodded and said: "Xiaojun is right, I have told the prince about you frankly. He will make an exception and reuse you. The most important thing for you now is to prevent your father from seeing through the existence of your two brothers. If you have a different heart, you will be able to take over the people under your father's command in the future." The two were both happy and surprised, Meng Wu said sadly: "Is the prince going to deal with my father?" Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that Lu Buwei's greatest support now came from Meng Ao, so he was able to support Xiao Pan before he was defeated after being crowned. In this way, Meng Ao should have no problems in the past few years, so he said: "Don't worry. Your father is in the position of Chujun There should be nothing to do before the coronation. As long as you lead the troops well in the next five years and do your part, after the crown prince is crowned in the future, all problems will be solved. I will ask the prince to see it for the sake of your two brothers, no It's too hard for your father." The two were grateful and knelt down and kowtowed. Xiang Shaolong rushed forward to help the two of them, thinking of Meng Tian as the most prestigious general of the Qin Kingdom after Wang Jian, his heart was filled with pity and wonder. After exhorting the two of them, they left. When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Meng Wu said worriedly: "Master Xiang, be careful when confronting Guan Zhongxie the day after tomorrow. Yesterday he came to our place to find someone to test the sword. Our brothers were all killed, but we only got to be beaten. He is better than the field hunter." Time is much stronger." Meng Tian interjected, "Can Master Xiang not give Guan Zhongxie a chance to equalize? Then he and Old Bandit Lu will be pissed off." Jing Jun smiled and said: "Don't worry, my third brother is a god who came into the world, even if Guan Zhongxie came out with three heads and six arms, he would still be defeated." The two brothers stared at Xiang Shaolong suspiciously. Teng Yi put his arms around the two of them, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jun is not bragging like usual this time, your Uncle Xiang even wants to bow down to me now, you just wait and see a wonderful competition." The two of them knew that Teng Yi was powerful and would not lie, so they put their minds at ease a little. Meng Tian's eyes turned red suddenly, and he bowed his head and said, "We are not willing to stand by father this time, not only because of old thief Lu's order to kill us and mother, but also because we want to avenge Princess Qian and Sister Chunying. , when we deal with the old thief in the future, we must count our brother's share." Only then did Xiang Shaolong think of the harmonious relationship between his two brothers and the girls that day, and his heart ached so badly that he shook his head and sighed. Teng Yi and Jing Jun knew that he was brought up with sad memories, so they sent them away knowingly. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Then the three of them returned to the official office. During lunch, Wang Lu came. Xiang Shaolong put down his chopsticks and met him in the lobby. After Xiang Shaolong asked Wang Yan to sit down on the top seat, he said: "The general doesn't need to condescend to come here, as long as he gives an order, Shaolong will come to the general's mansion to be taught." Wang Neng smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will suddenly change my mind and trick you again?" Xiang Shaolong smiled casually: "If the general wants my life, Xiang Shaolong, it's just a matter of lifting a finger!" Wang Yan shook his head and said: "Your life is not so easy to take, at least Lu Buwei and Meng Ao have made a mess of you because of you, and they are burnt out." He paused, frowning deeply, and said solemnly: "Lu Buwei really has the intention of rebellion. He used the excuse of using the army to build the Zhengguo Canal, and asked the prince and the queen mother to get the military talisman and mobilize the soldiers. If I hadn't tried my best to prevent him from using my people, I am afraid that Xianyang has already fallen. However, sooner or later I will lead the army, and the situation of the crown prince will be very dangerous, what countermeasures can Shaolong have?" Xiang Shaolong really wanted to tell him that this situation can be changed as long as the Black Dragon is born, but he felt that the less people know about this matter, the better, so he asked instead: "What suggestion does the General have?" After Wang Lu pondered for a while, he sighed: "Because I refused to kill you, and I was very unhappy with Lu Buwei. You should know that if Tian attacked Yan alone, Lu Buwei would definitely send me and Meng Ao to attack Sanjin. That would be Lu Buwei's rebellion It's a good time, as long as all the defenders of Xianyang are replaced by his men, the queen mother and the prince will have to rely on him." Xiang Shaolong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "At least it will be when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming next year. The country of Yan is located in the north, the winter is very cold, and Tian Dan needs time to prepare, so we still have a buffer period." Wang Lu said disdainfully: "Qi regards Guan Zhong as his chancellor, reforms and progresses, and has a lot to do. How do you know that Qi people only love empty talk, don't cultivate military equipment, and pretend to be the Eastern Emperor, but a little Yan Kingdom is almost destroyed. A Tian Dan can save his life, how can he have the power to return to heaven. If Zhao Guo hadn't blocked my Daqin army for them, he would have been wiped out long ago." Xiang Shaolong said along the day: "Now that Lian Po is gone in the Zhao country, are the people of Zhao still not afraid?" Wang He revealed a dignified look, sighed and said: "When it comes to good soldiers and good generals, there is no better Zhao in the world. If it weren't for the filial piety of the king, the mediocrity, and the wrong use of Zhao Kuo, it would be difficult for Bai Qi to win Changping. Even if Lian Po goes , but there is still Li Mu, this man is unpredictable in the art of war, he is better at using cavalry than King Zhao Wuling, he is unpredictable and unpredictable, if a little dragon meets this man in the future, he must rush to underestimate the enemy, otherwise You will suffer a lot." Xiang Shaolong prayed in his heart that this would not happen, and at the same time, he felt sincere respect for this peerless general who would subdue even his enemies. Recalling that he gave himself the Blood Wave Sword with arrogance back then, and told him to escape here, and said that if we meet on the battlefield in the future, everyone will never show mercy.That kind of boldness is beyond the reach of others. Wang Yan said in a low voice, "One day with Li Mu here, we Daqin don't want to kill Zhao." The two of them were thinking about their own things, they were both worried, and they forgot about the dangerous situation that was looming in front of them. Wang He suddenly said: "Do you know if Shaolong Chengyu was sealed in Chang'an? He not only communicated with Zhao general Pang Nuan in secret, but also secretly recruited troops with the help of Du Bi. So as long as there is something in Xianyang, he will come back to snatch it." The throne, since there are still many people who support Chengyu, this matter must be guarded against." Xiang Shaolong felt a big headache, it turned out that Xiao Pan, the first king of Qin, was born with such difficulty.He nodded to show that he understood, and sighed: "Lu Buwei should be more concerned about this matter than us. The first person Du Bi and Cheng Yu will kill is Lu Buwei. At least a few more people will be killed to get me. Lu Buwei will definitely not sit idly by. Reasonable." Wang Yan smiled wryly and said, "When it comes to playing tricks, you and I are no match for Lu Buwei. These days I have been drinking with Wang Ling every night. When I mentioned this, Lao Ling said that he deliberately indulged Du Bi and Cheng Yu, In order to keep this threat, the Empress Dowager and Prince Chu will rely on him even more." Xiang Shaolong had anticipated this, and asked, "What is the relationship between Du Bi and Mrs. Xiuli?" Mrs. Xiuli is another favored concubine of King Zhuang Xiang, the mother of Cheng Yu. Wang Yan said: "They are cousins, but we all guess that they have an ulterior relationship." After a pause, he obviously felt that the divergence was too far, and said solemnly: "I have an idea, I heard that you are now The relationship with the Chu people has improved. Can you try to persuade Li Yuan to point out that if Tian Dan dies, the next one will attack the Chu people? If the Chu people Chen Bing Qi border, then you can guarantee that Tian Dan will not attack rashly Swallow." Xiang Shaolong was overwhelmed by it.After all, Jiang is old and hot, and this is a replica of Ruo Wei's rescuing Zhao. The wonderful thing is that Tian Dan is the most taboo in Li Yuan, because Qin is tightly restrained by the Three Jins over the affairs of the three eastern counties, and has no time to pay attention to Chu.What's more, Li Yuan is not a good man or a believer, so naturally Qi Guo also has land ambitions, so this move is really wonderful.He nodded and said, "This is easy, I'll fix it right away...Hey! Find someone to fix a book and send it to Li Yuan. There should be no problem with this matter." Wang Lu said solemnly: "The matter is of great importance, Shaolong must not think that he can impress Li Yuan purely with personal affection!" Xiang Shaolong received the teaching respectfully and said: "Shaolong understands!" Wang Yan said happily: "As long as we can suspend the dispute between Qi and Yan, and when Wang Jian returns to the court, Huan Ju and Xiao Ben will become their quick-relief troops again, then the old man can go out without worry." Xiang Shaolong got the support of this general in power who controlled at least a quarter of Qin's military force, and he relaxed, remembering Jing Jun's matter, and began to speak earnestly. Wang Lu laughed and said: "There is no problem, today I will go to the Lu Mansion with Wang Ling to say goodbye, you wait for our good news!" Xuan's expression darkened again, apparently thinking of Duke Lu and Xu Xian.After a long while, he sighed, "Does Shaolong know that Lu Gong is not a deer, because he hunted the most deer in the fields, and the previous kings jokingly called him the King of Deer. So he changed his surname to Lu, and the township was also called Luyi. Since then From then on, everyone called him the King of the Deer, but later he was called the Duke of the Lu!” Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly and said: "The general knows that I should not be called Xiang Shaolong now, but Long Shaoxiang, because I once boasted that if Tian Dan fled back to Qi, I would write my name upside down. " Wang Lu was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.
