Chapter 198 Chapter Three

After Wang Lu left, Xiang Shaolong summoned Jing Jun and told him that Wang Lu had agreed to go with Wang Ling to propose marriage to the Lu Mansion for him, so happy that this kid turned several weights and jumped away. Xiang Shaolong and Teng Yi, the two elder brothers, looked at each other happily and smiled. Teng Yi's eyes shot out the look of Si Yi. Xiang Shaolong saw tears in his tiger eyes, knowing that this tough man thought of his wife, children and relatives who died tragically, he also felt sad. Teng Yi sighed: "If it wasn't for the misfortune of that day, Xiaojun would not be where he is today. God's will is really unpredictable. But no matter what, the love of our five brothers is indeed comparable to the sun and the moon."

Xiang Shaolong thought to himself that maybe God is not unpredictable, it's just that it can't be changed!I am now living in the past history of always facing fate, but I don't understand why it is like this at all. Teng Yi suddenly said: "Third brother, let's go home and rest! I can take care of things here. Apart from the troublesome people in Zhongfu's house, Xianyang has always been safe." Xiang Shaolong remembered Zhou Liang brothers and sisters being chased and beaten in the market, he shook his head and sighed: "Guan Zhong is evil, he is not righteous, how can he cure the people below, when my lord dismisses him the day after tomorrow, it is up to you or If Xiaojun manages the capital guards, then the world will truly be at peace."

Teng Yi laughed and said: "If those who believe that you will lose to Guan Zhongxie hear this, I guarantee that they will be dumbfounded and think that the third brother is not ashamed of his boast. Only then do I understand how humble you are." Xiang Shaolong didn't expect Teng Yi to have such a sense of humor, so he burst out laughing, and said, "If you want to be happy in this world, you need to put in a little bit of kung fu. So far, there have been two contests with Lian Jin and Wang Jian. This time has changed my life, but what kind of fate will the decisive battle the day after tomorrow bring me?"

Teng Yi stood up, accompanied him out of the office, and said as he walked: "It should be said that even a little wisdom is not enough. I really don't understand how Shaolong can design such a terrible weapon. When you were in the pasture, you went outside to practice on your own that day." Dao, when I talked about you with Yan Ran and Qin Qing, I felt that you were unfathomable and seemed to have the ability to see into the future. Do you remember what happened when I went to the Qin Mansion that night? Qin Qing only said that Lu Buwei was right. She was rude and wanted to punish him, and you just revealed Lu Buwei's conspiracy, which is impossible to guess."

Xiang Shaolong felt ashamed, and said with a smile: "That was just a sudden inspiration! Second brother, don't take it for something." When we arrived at the office gate, Xiang Shaolong patted Teng Yi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me, second brother, I will go to Qinqing's fragrant arms for a walk right now. In this icy and snowy day, there is nothing better than the embrace of a beautiful woman." A warmer place." Jing Shan and the others brought the wind early, and amidst the two of them laughing loudly, Xiang Shaolong got on his horse, faced the north wind, and galloped up the snow-covered avenue with few pedestrians, and galloped in the direction of Qinfu.

Teng Yi looked at Xiang Shaolong's receding back, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.This good brother who is utterly devoted to each other has not only changed the fate of everyone around him, but is also changing the situation of the entire world. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Seeing Qin Qing, the latter said with a solemn expression: "The Empress Dowager has the incident of Lai Ai, I am afraid Taifu Xiang is unlucky. Yesterday, the Empress Dowager sent people to Yongdu. It is said that the Empress Dowager is going to move to the Daye Palace there. Needless to say, I am afraid that people will see through the secret in the future."

Conjecture is conjecture, fact is fact.When this idea was confirmed indirectly, Xiang Shaolong's heart trembled and he sat down slumped. Women in this era, if they don't want to have children for a man, will use mountain herbs to prevent pregnancy, so Zhu Ji has been in Handan for so many years, dealing with Zhao Mu, Guo Kai and others all day long, but still has nothing to do.Now she is willing to bear a child for Lao Ai, so it can be seen that she is completely manipulated by this traitor.It can also be said that she has cut off her mother-child affection for Xiao Pan, and will support Lai Ai with all her strength in the future, hoping that he can replace Xiao Pan.

Qin Qing knew his mood and sat down beside him silently. Xiang Shaolong said in a deep voice, "Where is Yongdu?" Qin Qing replied: "Yongdu is the old capital of our Great Qin Dynasty. It is located in the north of the Wei River with Xianyang. It is located a hundred miles upstream of Xianyang, and it can be reached by boat in three days. Yongdu is very large. There are Daye Palace and Qinian Palace in the city. , and it is where the ancestral temple is located.” Xiang Shaolong fell into Qin Qing's arms, rested his head on her beautiful jade legs, looked up at the elegant and elegant face of this peerless beauty, and sighed: "I'm afraid I'm about to become another Lu Buwei."

Qin Qing complained: "Didn't you make this happen?" Xiang Shaolong's stomach was full of bitterness. May I ask how he could tell Qin Qing that because he knew his fate would be like this, he had no choice but to push the boat forward and let Lai Ai sit on the big table, restraining Lu Buwei as recorded in history? He had done it all by himself, and everything was going well, but because of his deep feelings and guilt for Zhu Ji, it didn't feel good. For a moment he was speechless. On the contrary, Qin Qing comforted: "I'm sorry! My tone was too strong. In the final analysis, it's none of your business. You just take advantage of the situation! If Lai Ai obeys Lu Buwei's orders in everything, then many people including you will Take your life early."

Xiang Shaolong reached out and hooked Qin Qingfen's neck, forcing her to bend down her pretty face. After enjoying her sweet lips and sweet kiss, he stretched himself and said, "I won't leave here tonight!" Qin Qing was so ashamed, she was startled when she heard this and said: "How can this be done?" Xiang Shaolong knew that she was unwilling to be so blatant, and he was just making fun of her. Hearing this, he sat up, hugged her and said softly, "Didn't you say that I can do whatever I want?" Qin Qing said embarrassingly: "At least we should wait until the final battle of Master Xiang! Otherwise, Yanran and the others will blame me!"

Xiang Shaolong said joyfully: "It's a deal, if Grand Tutor Ruoqin breaks his promise when the time comes, don't blame me for recruiting the overlord to force you to bow." Qin Qing was surprised and said: "The Overlord bows hard! Oh! You are so bad, oh! Get out of here! I won't talk to you anymore." Seeing her moving expression of embarrassment and joy, Xiang Shaolong felt his gloom disappear, and after taking advantage of her again, he left feeling relieved. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Leaving the Qin mansion, seeing that it was still early, he stopped by the palace to find Li Si, and told him the news that Xiao Pan had appointed him as one of the nine ministers. I thought he would be disappointed, but Li Si said with joy on his face: "My little brother actually longed for this position in his heart, but he was afraid that he would not be able to compete with Feng Jie. Now that it is like this, it is even more ideal." Xiang Shaolong knew that it was difficult for him to understand such matters related to official power.But I always know that Li Si will be the great hero of Qin Shihuang's unification of the world in the future, so it is reasonable that the official fortune will be prosperous. Li Si said gratefully: "Li Si is today thanks to Brother Xiang. I don't know what to say to express my gratitude." Xiang Shaolong said modestly: "Pearls are so bright no matter where they go. At best, I just removed the grass covered with pearls, and Brother Li is such a pearl. In the future, the prince will be able to rule the world, because of Brother Li no help." Li Si smiled and said: "Brother Xiang is too flattering Li Si, my Great Qin has promoted the renting of crops since Jian Gong, dedicated to the reform of the public bank, filial piety to the public and commercial martingale reform, King Hui Wen will strengthen it, and the Great Qin has made great achievements in politics, economy, military and culture. Development. At this moment when the world is in chaos for a long time, we have more opportunities to unify the world than ever before. The only obstacle is that the prince has not yet truly taken power, and everything needs to be approved by the queen mother. But only when the prince can do it After the coronation ceremony, he was officially enthroned, and with the great talent of the prince who swallowed mountains and rivers, he will surely accomplish this unprecedented feat. Li Si is just lifting the shoes and clothes for the prince! Brother Xiang is going to flatter me." Xiang Shaolong sighed: "It's just Brother Li's attitude of not taking credit, no wonder he is so highly valued by the prince." Speaking of this, he suddenly felt something, turned his head and looked at the entrance, and suddenly saw Mr. Changping standing there with Xiao Pan, whose eyes were shining brightly, obviously hearing Li Si's words. The two were so frightened that they knelt down and saluted. Xiao Pan came striding over, supported Li Si, and said emotionally: "Li Qing, don't blame me for coming here uninvited, if not, I wouldn't be able to hear what Li Qing said from the bottom of my heart, as long as Li Qing does his best, I will definitely not treat you poorly. " However, Li Si was sweating profusely. If he had misspoken just now, everything would be over. Xiang Shaolong and Lord Changping left the palace together, they all praised Li Si's luck.Such words will make Xiao Pan confide in him, and Xiang Shaolong knows from history that Xiao Pan, the first emperor of Qin, obeyed Li Siyan all his life, maybe the reason lies in these ten or twenty sentences. The two rode out of the palace gate together, turned into Xianyang Avenue, passed the palace wall and the river, and were surrounded by majestic mansions of princes, dukes and generals. Can't help sighing. Lord Changping said: "Shaolong has just arrived in Chu State, so he should know the situation there. The south is rich and rich, even better than our Great Qin. If we didn't get the land of Bashu, we wouldn't even be qualified for comparison, but it is also Chu State. The "rich" exhausted the people of Chu." Xiang Shaolong was very interested when he heard this, slowed down his horse, and said in surprise: "It is always better to be rich than poor, why is it more a disaster than a blessing?" Lord Changping regretfully said: "Chu people not only have the benefits of the sea and copper, and the wealth of Yunmeng, but also the wealth of leather, abalone, bamboo, gold, pearls, rhinoceros, tortoiseshell, fruit, and cloth. Soup fish, or fire plowing and water slugs, the fruit falls and wins clams, and there is enough food without waiting for food. The land is fertile and food is free, and there is no risk of famine. Therefore, everyone is addicted to comfort, lack of accumulation and poverty. In case of war, soldiers have no desire to fight. Heart, so the situation is big but not strong, otherwise the world would have belonged to them long ago.” Xiang Shaolong agrees in his heart that Li Yuan is a person of literary talent, but he is definitely not a person who endures hardships and fights.By the way, he asked about Zhao Guo, which he was most familiar with. He had made a vivid comparison of Chu and Zhao with the south horse and the north horse. For unknown reasons, Mr. Changping was in a good mood, and he talked eloquently: "Zhao's land is also vast, but there are many mountains and high land, the north is close to forests, and the people are many powerful, like Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Wuyuan. In the land taken back by Rong and Di, the people are fond of shooting and hunting rather than agriculture and business. As for Handan, Taiyuan, Shangdang and other places located in the original Jin state, there are many descendants of the old Jin princes, who love each other with deceit and power, boasting of fame Like Jun Zhao, there are hundreds of concubines in the harem. The maids and concubines wear Qi satin and have a surplus of wine and meat, while the people have endless brown clothes and never tire of chaff. Therefore, although there are elite soldiers that are invincible in the world, there is no one who knows how to use them. Otherwise, there would be no loss of Changping caused by Zhao Kuo replacing Lianpo." Xiang Shaolong didn't expect Lord Changping to be so insightful, he looked at him with admiration and said, "These words really hit the nail on the head of the Zhao people, what about the situation in other countries?" Mr. Changping was praised by Xiang Shaolong, and he said in high spirits: "The country of Yan is located in the northeast, with poor mountains and remote areas, and only thistles look a bit like this. You can leave it alone. The environment in Korea is harsh, and most of the people live in mountainous areas. They also have the intention to save some food and goods. Powerless, if not for Zhao Wei's support! We would have died long ago." Xiang Shaolong has never been to Yanhan, so he doesn't know the details, but when he thinks about Han Fei's visit to Daliang to borrow food, he knows that Mr. Changping's words are not true. Lord Changping continued: "The State of Wei has always been a strong enemy of our Great Qin. When Wu Qi was appointed as the prefect of Hexi, we had no choice but to suffer defeat. They also made extensive alliances to prevent us from going east. When the capital was moved to Daliang, we had already embraced the land. Thousands of miles away, with more than 300,000 armored troops. Fortunately, the people of Wei were dazzled by the victory, and they forced Handan to be pulled out. It’s a fall, otherwise it wouldn’t be the situation now.” Xiang Shaolong remembered the saying "Wei people are the most unreliable" spread among Zhao people, and also thought that King Anli of Wei sent people to pretend to be horse thieves and wreak havoc in Zhao's territory.Nodding his head, he said: "All the eastern countries have done their best for the Lord, and only Qi is left." Mr. Changping thought for a while, and pretended to be mysterious: "Does Shaolong know what is the most popular thing among Qi people besides absurd talk?" Xiang Shaolong said, "How would I know? Just tell me!" Mr. Chang Ping smiled and said, "Although I became Prime Minister Zuo, I don't have any dignity at all. Everyone treats me like you, ha! But I am happy like this." Knowing that he is easy-going by nature, Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but laugh. Changping Jundao: "The most popular thing in Linzi now is usury, and the richest one is a big profiteer named Zhong Sunlong who lends money at usury. He is richer than Lu Buwei before. It seems that there are not many people who can compare with him. Therefore, It can be seen how arrogant and extravagant the people of Qi are. The people above are playing the Yu and the drums all day long, fighting harriers and racing dogs, but the people below are living in poverty, and there are many exiles. Otherwise, with the benefits of the Qi people's fishing salt and the prosperity of the merchants, how could the Yan people almost lose their lives? If it hadn’t been for a Tiandan! Qi would be even more miserable.” Xiang Shaolong said sincerely: "It's called talking with you, it's better than studying for ten years, and I helped you, a kid, to be Prime Minister Zuo. It seems that I made a mistake and got it right." 昌平君大笑道：“少龙竟来耍我了，不过知道了大妹因你一番话肯嫁给杨端和，就是你揍我几拳，我也只好乖乖消受了。” Only then did Xiang Shaolong understand why he was in such a good mood, he was about to speak, when there was a sudden commotion along the road, everyone scrambled to avoid it, it turned out that there were two groups of people chasing each other with swords. Lord Changping yelled, "Take him down!" Eighteen iron guards and more than 30 personal soldiers of Lord Changping got off their horses one after another and swarmed away. The two groups of people who were fighting were quite different in number, there were more than thirty people on one side, and only five people on the other side, but what made people dumbfounded was that those five people had the upper hand. And the reason why they were able to force their opponents to run wild was because one of the big men had amazing skills. This person is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and handsome, his footwork is like wind when he dodges, and his swordsmanship is fierce. Almost every time he strikes a sword, the opponent is either knocked off by the weapon or injured by the sword.How can this kind of opponent be confronted? The big man who killed the most people is in a mess and can only run for his life. But those five people refused to let each other go, biting their tails and chasing the enemy.However, they were quite measured in their strikes. The enemy who was hit by the sword just fell to the ground and was injured, losing the ability to move.On the long street, the two groups of people fought and walked, leaving a big man lying down and moaning on the street. Jing Shan and the others rushed to the place where the battle was entangled, the five men leisurely withdrew their swords, although they saw soldiers coming, they were unafraid. On the other side, more than a dozen people who hadn't fallen yet gathered in one place, and everyone's eyes were spitting fire, and they glared at the five people angrily. Xiang Shaolong and Changping Jun glanced at each other, and both could see the horror in the other's heart. Looking at the clothes and colors of the people on the other side, one can tell that they are the generals of Zhongfu's mansion. What do those five people have to rely on, that they are not afraid of the power of Zhongfu's mansion? Chang Ping Jun stared at the handsome man with the strongest skill, let out a breath of cold air and said: "This man's swordsmanship is probably inferior to Guan Zhongxie's." Xiang Shaolong nodded slightly, rode his horse forward, and shouted: "When you are fighting in the street, what is the king's law? Report your name to this commander." That handsome man stood tall like a mountain, with the aura of an invincible master, he saluted Xiang Shaolong slightly, showing that he didn't take Xiang Shaolong seriously, and said calmly: "I am Han Jie, and I am from the Neishifu People, this group of people blatantly used the banner of Zhongfu's Mansion to force female singers to accompany drinks in restaurants, I couldn't see it, so I took action to teach them a lesson." Seeing his haughty expression, Jing Shan and the others wanted to order him to kneel down, but when they heard that it was Lao Ai, they quickly swallowed their words. Lord Changping came to Xiang Shaolong's side, and said in a low voice: "This Han Jie is from South Korea, he was a friend of Lao Ai's when he was in South Korea, and he is known as the number one expert in South Korea, and his reputation is really well-deserved." Xiang Shaolong also woke up that Xiao Pan had mentioned this person's name, and another Wu and Wen named Ling Qi were both people Zhu Ji wanted to recommend as officials. At this time, the general of Zhongfu's family walked out to take the lead, his eyes flashed with hatred, but he didn't even pay attention to the courtesy, and said boldly: "Master Xiang and Prime Minister Zuo have learned that Han Jie is just talking nonsense, we brothers are waiting for you." Drinking for fun, but people from the Department of Internal History came to interfere, we will definitely discuss this matter with Guan Ye, and let him uphold justice." Han Jie snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice: "You are a defeated general, what are you talking about, let's just wait and see!" Then he bowed slightly to Xiang Shaolong, turned around and left. Like a defeated rooster, the group of big men in Zhongfu's mansion lifted up the wounded and left dejectedly. Jing Shan and the others looked at me and stood aside blankly, because Xiang Shaolong and Mr. Changping did not give orders. For the first time, Xiang Shaolong tasted the defiant and domineering generals of Lu Buwei and Lao Ai, but he had no choice but to wait patiently for the day when the black dragon was born.But also secretly happy in his heart, the confrontation between Lu Buwei and Lao Ai has finally reached the point where there is no balance.I'm afraid that I should have a more comfortable life!
