Chapter 211 Chapter 4 Head-on Challenges

Lai Ai frowned and said: "What is the urgent matter? Can you send someone to do it? The food and drink have not been served yet! Besides, there is a song and dance performance I specially arranged for adults." Pu Ji also said: "Master Xiang is rushing to leave before he is warmed up, we will never let you go." Xiang Shaolong secretly scolded himself for being confused, this matter can indeed be sent to someone to do it, he said that he is the best person, as long as he informs Teng Yi, and then Teng Yi discusses it with Lord Changping.He laughed and said: "I was confused in a moment of anxiety, so I will tell my servants, please forgive me."

Lao Ai was relieved after this, and let him go. Xiang Shaolong stepped out of the lobby and came to the small hall outside, where Jing Shan and the others were feasting and flirting with the pretty prostitutes who waited on them. When asked, Wu Guang panicked and said: "Brother Wu slipped off to find his old friend, Master Xiang, don't blame him." How could Xiang Shaolong offend him, he wanted to reassign Jing Shan, but he thought it would be better to take the opportunity to relax outside, and asked where Wu Yan was going, when he wanted to go out, all the guards hurriedly stood up.

Xiang Shaolong was tired of being followed all day long, and seeing them eating and drinking happily, he dissuaded them and slipped out alone. Stepping on the quiet path in the forest, I immediately felt refreshed, remembering that I have a lovely wife and children at home, but I have to make false claims with others in such a situation of intrigue, so I can only sigh for the reason. After a while, he turned to the main road leading to the main building. Firstly, the night was falling, and secondly, he was alone, so even though he ran into servants and guests who were going to other courtyards with lanterns from time to time, they all thought he was an ordinary family guard. He is a kind of person, and I didn't pay special attention to him.

When he was about to reach the main building, he suddenly saw Wu Fu hurried out without carrying a lamp, just passed him with his head down not far away, turned into a small road, and didn't know his existence at all. Xiang Shaolong's heart skipped a beat, he flashed into the forest, and quickly followed behind him.If he hadn't seen him running towards the bamboo forest where Zuifeng Sihua lived, he would never have thought of following him. Because Sihua has all attended Lao Ai's dinner now, and Wu Fu should be busy with greeting guests, there is really no reason to go there, unless someone is waiting for him.Those who can wait for Wu Fu to speak in any Yihua's boudoir are either members of the Lu Party or the Lao Party. How dare others compete with people from these two parties.Now that Lai Ai and others are all in the other courtyard, isn't it that people from Lu Buwei's side are waiting there?

Xiang Shaolong deployed his special forces skills, followed closely behind Wu Fu, and arrived at the bamboo forest in a short while.There were figures of people at the entrance, welcoming Wu Fu in. Xiang Shaolong had a feeling of despair, the last time it was because of Han Chuang's cover that he was able to sneak into this "bamboo forest hideaway" where all the lecherous men in Chengyang longed to stay overnight.Now I don't even have a hook for climbing, so it's just a dream to sneak in! Just as he was about to leave, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Didn't Wu Fu say that he could eavesdrop on Drunk Wind's bedroom, but they didn't know it?

Thinking about it, this must not be a lie, because as long as Xiang Shaolong traces and confirms it, it will be revealed whether Wu Fu is lying.This kind of monitoring tool is most likely a device like the copper pipe in Mr. Xinling's bedroom that can monitor the sound in the tunnel. It shouldn't be installed in any of the four small buildings in the forest, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago. .But it should also be installed nearby, otherwise the distance will be too far, and the fax rate will be greatly reduced. Xiang Shaolong was still hesitant, and searched along the bamboo forest, and soon found a row of four huts with sundries on the other side of the bamboo forest, behind which was a high outer wall.

I hurriedly lit up the flashlights, and searched room by room. After a while, I found that the interior of one of them was particularly clean, with four large cabinets installed, which felt out of place with the other three rooms where sundries were piled up. locked. Xiang Shaolong hastily took out the flying needle, and in a short while he broke one of the simple locks, and opened the door of the cabinet, he couldn't help cheering. I saw a copper pipe extending up from the ground, and the end was like a small trumpet, just enough for people to beat their ears while standing.At last Wu Fu didn't deceive him about this equipment.

But these copper pipes obviously did not lead to the small building that Wu Fu was going to, because there was no sound at all. Xiang Shaolong tried to open other cabinet doors, and when he reached the third one, one of them could hear the sound, and he hurriedly moved his ear to it. There was a sound, which seemed to be the sound of wine glasses clinking.After a while, a man's laughter rang out. Because the human voice passed through the ten-foot-long copper pipe, not only the sound deteriorated, but it was not very clear, so it was impossible to distinguish whether it was Wu Fu or who it was.

Then a man said: "Father Zhong's ingenious scheme is really powerful, even though Xiang Shaolong is a villain, he was still deceived by the villain into believing it." Xiang Shaolong still couldn't recognize that it was Wu Fu talking, his teeth itched with hatred. Another male voice said with a smile: "It mainly depends on the ability of Lord Wu. Father Zhong's serial trick can come in handy. If something happens to Chu Jun in the future, no one will suspect us." Just by listening to the tone of voice, one can tell that it is Guan Zhongxie who is speaking.

Xiang Shaolong secretly applauded the danger. If it weren't for the gods and ghosts, I taught myself to hear what they said, and this struggle would be a heavy one, and I might never be reborn.It can be seen from this that Xiaopan is indeed the true son of Qin Shihuang, so he can be blessed and blessed.But what Lu Buwei lost was luck, or destiny that might exist in the void. At the same time, I feel bored. Not only are Lu Buwei's conspiracies and vicious schemes emerging one after another, but they will continue to follow one after another. When will he live a little leisurely? We can only hope that the black dragon will be born.

Lu Buwei's voice came into his ears through the brass pipe: "Is Meimei still accompanying that traitor?" Wu Fu replied: "Father Zhong, please don't worry, Xiang Shaolong was scared out of his wits, and he will find an excuse to leave soon, so that he can notify the prince. Besides, the villain has already told Lai Ai that Meimei can only stay here tonight." At the end of Wushi, the villain will go and bring Meimei back." Lu Buwei snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "This fake eunuch dares to compete with me, Lu Buwei, for a woman. I dare say he is impatient." After Xiang Shaolong listened for a while, he knew he couldn't hear anything anymore, he put the lock on the cabinet back, and hurried out. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Back to the other courtyard where Lai Ai and the others were located, I was surprised to see Qiu Risheng and the three major teaching chairs of Weinan Samurai Academy, Guoxing, An Jinliang, and Chang Jie, all coming and sitting in the newly established four seats, and there were four more people at the same time. The beautiful prostitutes who accompany the wine are slightly inferior to Danxia and Hualing who are serving Han Jie and Ling Qi. Seeing him coming back, Yang Yu and Shan Meimei were the first to attack him, and Lao Ai and Pu Wei all echoed in unison, accusing him of escaping the banquet with excuses, otherwise how could it have taken him so long to come back. Compared to just now, Xiang Shaolong can be said to be a different person, and his mood is very different.First greeted Qiu Risheng and others politely, then punished himself with a drink, and finally calmed down the "public indignation". When Qiu Risheng drank with him, his expression was surprisingly indifferent.An Jinliang and Chang Jie were still hostile, but it was Guo Xing who had a vested interest in carrying out the ceremony as a subordinate. Although he was still a little less enthusiastic, Xiang Shaolong already felt that he was grateful. Lao Ai was obviously not satisfied with the attitude of Qiu Risheng and others.He winked frequently, but Qiu Risheng pretended not to see, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange. At this moment, Xiang Shaolong realized that Shan Meimei's beautiful eyes concealed deep hatred and hatred when she looked at him, and thought to himself that the psychological influence was so severe, because he no longer believed Wu Fu's words, so his perception completely changed. Currently there are eight banquets in the lobby, only Xiang Shaolong has no waiter girl. The dishes started to be served at this time, and silver chopsticks were used to prevent someone from poisoning. Lai Ai said: "Master Pu never visits friends empty-handed. When he came to Xianyang this time, he brought a troupe of singing and dancing girls who gathered all the beauties from all over the world, for us to be eye-opening. Shi Sufang, the three most outstanding women on the stage, is even more so. Sound, color, and art are three unique things that can turn all living beings upside down." Xiang Shaolong was very surprised. Hearing what Lao Ai said, this is obviously a professional touring song and dance troupe, not affiliated with any dignitaries.How can Shi Sufang remain free and perform anywhere in this age of power? In the era of the ancient Warring States, no matter individuals or groups, except ordinary common people, all had some kind of political meaning or purpose.It stands to reason that this song and dance troupe is no exception.It's not easy just to connect it with Pu Ji. Pu Wei said triumphantly: "It took me two months to go to Handan to find the leader of the troupe, Boss Jin, and he was able to persuade him to bring the troupe to Xianyang. I have arranged to perform at the Spring Festival Dinner To add to the fun, tonight can be said to be a preview." Qiu Risheng interjected, "I heard that Shi Sufang, the 'Three Wonderful Girls', and Lan Gongyuan, the "soft-boned beauty" of Qi State who frightened the audience at Zhongfu's mansion that night, and Feng Fei, known as the "Linglong Yan" of Yan State, , collectively known as the three famous concubines, I never imagined that Xianyang would have two concubines in one fell swoop today, and we are really lucky." Only then did Xiang Shaolong know that the soft-boned girl who assassinated him that night was named Lan Gongyuan.Among the three famous Ji Nei, at least one is an outstanding female assassin, so what about the other two?Xiang Shaolong couldn't help feeling curious. Lai Ai laughed evilly and said: "Father Zhong must have tasted the taste of a soft-boned beauty. I don't know if Master Pu has tried Shi Sufang's three house tricks before, and can you reveal one or two." All the men laughed, while the women laughed and scolded coquettishly. They were all used to such explicit words from men and knew how to respond appropriately.Xiang Shaolong laughed secretly in his heart, Lai Ai's heavy use of this kind of person who only understands love and moon has already planted the cause of defeat. Pu Wei laughed with everyone for a while before saying: "If it was so easy to kiss Xiangze, Shi Sufang might have been kept in someone's private house. Everywhere Shi Sufang goes, someone must guarantee that he will not be forced to sell himself. The current guarantor is Pu, how can Pu be a despicable person who guards himself and steals himself?" An Jinliang, who was sitting next to Qiu Guosheng, was chewing a piece of chicken, and muttered indistinctly: "That would be such a pity!" Suddenly there was another burst of laughter. Yang Yu stood up at this moment, carrying the jug to Xiang Shaolong's side, touched the ground with his knees first, then sat on his calf, and said with a smile like a flower: "Master Xiang, let my family toast you!" Xiang Shaolong raised his glass gracefully and asked her to pour the wine. Lai Ai laughed and said, "Since Miss Yu is interested in Master Xiang, if Master Xiang doesn't want to take her over, I guarantee that the three masters on her couch will not be inferior to Shi Sufang." Everyone booed again, fueling the flames, only Qiu Risheng and others showed disdain, and they still had a grudge against Xiang Shaolong. Seeing this charming beauty, Xiang Shaolong bowed her head in embarrassment, feeling extremely tender.Even if she was acting, she still felt a strong urge.This is a man's innate normal reaction to a beautiful woman, especially thinking that she may be as poisonous as a snake, adding another dangerous and exciting taste like playing with fire. Amidst the roar of laughter, Yang Yu raised his face and gave him a charming look, then lowered his lips and whispered softly: "If Lord Xiang can spare a little space, Yang Yu is willing to serve on the pillow mat." Said a few words, due to the extremely low volume, only Xiang Shaolong could hear it, which multiplied the lingering taste of the dark passage. Xiang Shaolong's gaze landed on her well-curved breasts, and he almost blurted out his consent.Fortunately, I get up to practice sword every day before the cock crows, and I have cultivated my will to be extremely firm.He whispered: "It's hard to solve, Miss Yu please forgive me." Yang Yu glanced at him with his burning eyes with so much resentment, and then retreated to Lai Ai's seat. Xiang Shaolong took the initiative to raise the unitary cup and persuaded everyone to drink, everyone raised their glasses in a loud voice, but Qiu Risheng's expressions were much more reluctant except for Guo Xing, they were just perfunctory and lacked enthusiasm. Then Qiu Risheng and Pu Ji had a drink together. Xiang Shaolong was wondering why Lai Ai seemed to be unable to control Qiu Risheng at all, when he happened to see Pu Qiu and the two exchanging a meaningful smile, and in a flash of inspiration, he figured out the relationship between Lai Ai and Qiu Risheng . Qiu Risheng used to be a member of Lord Yangquan, and he tended to be the "brother" of Xiaopan Chengyu.Now he is still a Chengyu faction, but instead colludes with Du Bi and Pu Ji. Although Du Bi and Pu Ji are powerful, they are concentrated in the three eastern counties, which have also become Cheng Yu's base.This was done by Lu Buwei, leaving this tail on purpose, so that Zhu Ji and Xiao Pan had to rely on him to deal with it.But Du Bi and others also hoped to come to Xianyang, so Qiu Risheng pretended to take refuge with Lao Ai, so that Lu Buwei also hindered Zhu Ji and could not do anything to them.A strange and complicated relationship is thus formed. Of course he would not disclose the valuable information obtained from his observation to Lai Ai.Lu Buwei was playing a power balance game, so he had no choice but to accompany him. After having this kind of experience, Xiang Shaolong immediately knew that he had become the primary target of Pu Ji, Du Bi and Qiu Risheng's attack.As long as he dies, he can immediately break the balance of the major forces in Xianyang.For Pudu and others, the more chaos the better. Now there are not a few people in the Qin military who oppose Lu Buwei. As long as Du Bi can unite the biggest forces among them, such as Wang Yan, Wang Ling, Wang Jian, or Lord Changping, An Guxi, etc., Cheng Yu will be very sure to fight Lu Buwei. The small-cap competition for superficial support is getting shorter and longer. As long as Xiaopan, the biggest obstacle, is gone, Cheng Yu will be Daqin's natural successor.And the first task is to get rid of Xiang Shaolong and plunge Xianyang into chaos, so that they can catch Xiaopan, a big fish in troubled waters. At this moment, he saw Qiu Risheng winking at Guoxing frequently, and after a while, Guoxing said reluctantly: "I wonder if the general has time to come to our hotel to perform a knife show in the past two days?" How can it open our eyes?" With the same meaning, compared to what Guo Xing said in Zuifeng Tower the night before the decisive battle, it has completely lost the sense of tension.It can be seen that Ji Yanran's sense of righteousness and Xiao Pan's lure and profit have moved him to some extent. In the final analysis, the political group headed by Xiaopan was always in power at that time, and Guoxing had no way to join Xiang Shaolong's side because he first attached himself to Yang Quanjun.Now that he has this golden opportunity, it is really difficult for him to sacrifice for Qiu Risheng again. Before Xiang Shaolong could speak, Lai Ai pretended to be dazed and said, "If the general has a divinely assisted sword technique, hasn't the lord of the country witnessed it with his own eyes? Why do you still need to do it again and see it one more time?" These few words are extremely blunt, showing that Lao Ai is very unhappy. Qiu Risheng laughed and said, "It is precisely because Mr. Xiang's swordsmanship is as good as a god, I will ask him to come to the hotel to give advice to my subordinate Erlang. Mr. Neishi misunderstood." Xiang Shaolong smiled slightly and said: "If the head of the pavilion Qiu promised to end the competition in person tomorrow, why would I, Xiang Shaolong, go to the pavilion to listen to the teachings?" As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed, including Pu Ji.Although these few words were spoken politely, it clearly showed that Xiang Shaolong had the intention of killing Qiu Risheng, and no one dared to pursue it afterward, because Qiu Risheng was to blame for this. The reason for Pu Ji and Qiu Risheng's discoloration was that Xiang Shaolong had seen through their real relationship with Lai Ai, so he was so merciless. The reason why Lai Ai and the others changed their expressions was that since Xiang Shaolong said this, with Qiu Risheng's status, even if he knew he was going to lose, he had no choice but to stand up and fight, and there was no room for turning back. Shan Meimei and other women were shocked by Xiang Shaolong's incomparable heroism, and their hearts throbbed. Sure enough, Qiu Risheng looked up to the sky with a long smile, and said proudly: "In recent years, no one has ever been as willing to play two hands with the owner of this museum as Mr. Xiang. Tomorrow noon, someone Qiu will be waiting for you in the museum." After speaking, he stood up abruptly, saluted Pu Ji, Lao Ai and the others, and left with a flick of his sleeves.Guoxing and others had no choice but to salute hurriedly and leave with him. The atmosphere in the lobby was momentarily awkward. Everyone looked at each other, they didn't expect that when Qiu Risheng was so narrow-minded, Wu Fu walked in with a puzzled face, and frequently turned his head to look in the direction where Qiu Risheng disappeared. Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, "Does Lord Wu want to pick Meimei up to meet Father Zhong?" Lao Ai and Wu Fu suddenly changed color at the same time.
