Chapter 218 Chapter Eleven

Xiang Shaolong wanted to slip away, but Li Si, who was so excited about his promotion, dragged him to meet Xiao Pan, but Ji Yanran didn't like them, and went home by herself. Although this trip was not a complete victory, it had a great turning point, Wang Lu, Wang Ling, Lord Changping, Lord Changwen, etc. were all in high spirits, and embraced Xiang Shaolong, a great hero, to enter the inner court to meet Xiao Pan. Seeing the crowd coming, Xiao Pan walked down from the dragon seat, his eyes turned red with emotion. Xiang Shaolong was a little dazed and watched Xiao Pan walking towards him with an imposing manner.Suddenly he felt that Xiao Pan was very strange, but also as close as his own son.That extremely opposite feeling aroused his extremely strange feelings.

In a few years, Xiao Pan will be crowned king.And the relationship between him and the future Qin Shihuang will be marked with a cessation. He has to go. Because he didn't want to be stained with the blood of the soldiers and civilians of the six countries, he was deeply tired of war. Xiao Pan's actual age is nineteen years old, and he fully possesses the majesty and spirit of a generation of overlords who are above all living beings.Although he is half a head shorter than Xiang Shaolong, his shoulders are broad and his back is thick, his hands and feet are thick, his ears are big, especially his pair of dragon eyes, even Xiang Shaolong feels chills when he looks at him.

In the past, Xu Xian and Lu Gong immediately gave up their hearts when they knew that he was not the evil son of Lu Buwei. Now Wang Ling and Wang Lu are devoted to him for no reason. Gai Xiaopan is the kind of politics that is inherently attractive leader.It is conceivable that when he is officially crowned king, it will be even more extraordinary. Xiao Pan came to Xiang Shaolong at this time, grabbed his hands tightly, and shouted happily: "Teacher, we have succeeded." Li Si and others surrounded the two of them, congratulating loudly, and everyone was talking nonsense.For a long time, the struggle between the monarch and the powerful ministers has rarely been completed without fighting.But just playing the black dragon's beautiful trick, it immediately cut most of the power that Lu Buwei had worked hard for many years, and smashed the rebellion he might have secretly planned.Who could not be moved by such a result achieved without bloodshed.

Under the current situation, it is impossible to raise troops to cause chaos. Even the civilians in Xianyang will revolt to support Xiao Pan, not to mention the army that has always been loyal to the royal family. Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Your servant should take a rest, please give me your permission." Xiao Pan sighed: "Although the widow is very reluctant. But I have no choice but to do as the Taifu wishes, but if something happens, the Taifu will definitely come back to help me." Xiang Shaolong said with a sigh of relief: "Wen has Lord Changping and Li Yanwei, and Wu has two generals, Chu Jun can figure it out!"

Everyone burst into laughter.Because if Xiang Shaolong and others say that there is nothing to do, it is best not to bother me. Li Si scolded with a smile: "Lord Xiang, stop laughing. In front of Xiang Shaolong, Li Si will always be the Li Si you first met outside the city when you came back from Zhao." Xiao Pan said: "When is Tai Tu going back to the ranch for a rest?" Hearing that he especially emphasized the word "temporary rest", everyone smiled knowingly. Xiang Shaolong clenched Xiaopan's hands behind his back, feeling that the flesh and blood of the two were connected together, and replied: "After the settlement of Qiu Risheng's warrior camp and Xiaojun's marriage, I will go back to the ranch. Prince Chu intends to rest for a while, and he will stay in Xianyang for more than ten days. Hey, I'm going home to take a shower and change clothes so that I can attend the Spring Banquet tonight."

Xiao Pan reluctantly let go of Xiang Shaolong's hand, and said emotionally: "I, Ying Zheng, can be what I am today, thanks to the Grand Tutor." As the king of his country, he was willing to say such words, and everyone was moved.Only Xiang Shaolong really understood what he meant. Back then, the urchin who only knew how to tease the maidservant, who would have thought that he would be Qin Shihuang, the eternal emperor who would rule the world in the future? ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Outside the gate of the palace, there were crowds of "pilgrimage" people, and when they saw Xiang Shaolong coming out, they immediately cheered.

With the sound of hoofbeats, Guoxing led a group of personal soldiers, rushed out from the side, and saluted him from afar. Xiang Shaolong saw that Guo Xing was dressed in a military uniform, looking majestic and majestic as if he had changed into another person, he couldn't help remembering Jing Jun's appearance in the official uniform at the beginning, and couldn't help feeling a little closer to Guo Xing in his heart. Guoxing came to his side and accompanied him to Wufu, he said with a bottom smile, "Beizhi waited outside the door for a while, just now when Lai Ai and Lu Buwei came out separately, the crowd booed and their faces were so angry. It was all dark. But when General Xiang came out, he won the most applause."

Looking at the children in new clothes throwing firecrackers and chasing each other by the side of the road, Xiang Shaolong felt more relaxed than ever. Xiao Pan has finally secured his throne, and from now on he is the only one to find someone to settle accounts with, like Lu Buwei and Lai Ai, who are unworthy of being his opponents for boxing training. Guo Xing said: "Master Xiang, please trust the villain, the villain will follow the adult wholeheartedly in the future." Hearing his change of tone, Xiang Shaolong put on the posture of a general, and said happily: "I will return to the ranch in ten days, and Xiaojun will take my place temporarily. You can follow Xiaojun well, this is the last time between you and him. Great opportunity to fix it."

After Guo Xing nodded in agreement, he lowered his voice and said, "Five of those assassins escaped and went to Du Bi's General's Mansion to avoid being hunted by the guards. Judging from Qiu Risheng's tone, they will pretend to be members of our warrior camp." , go to the spring banquet tonight." Xiang Shaolong wondered: "Did they think they still had a chance to assassinate tonight or did they not know that people entering the palace for banquets are not allowed to carry weapons?" Guo Xing said: "Qiu Risheng hasn't been so careless, he just hopes to use this group of people to revive the prestige of the resort."

Xiang Shaolong said lightly: "That's fine, just let me make Qiu Risheng face off tonight. If it wasn't for Lai Ai, I'd demolish his residence today." Guo Xing was terrified when he heard that, and thought to himself that it was a good thing he had "changed to the Ming Lord", otherwise he would be one of the ones who had been humiliated. Guo Xing said again: "I heard that Shan Meimei wanted to hang herself this morning, but luckily someone saved her." At this time Xiang Shaolong only had sympathy for Shan Meimei but no hatred, but it was inappropriate to intervene in this matter, so he could only sigh that his heart was too much but his strength was not enough.Can't help but ask: "Is Shan Meimei's heart towards Lao Ai?"

Guo Xing said mysteriously: "I'm afraid only she knows about this matter, but there is a news among the servants in Zuifenglou that the person Shan Meimei really likes is Master Xiang." Xiang Shaolong was startled, and lost his voice: "This must be a mistake, otherwise why would I not feel anything." Guoxing shrugged and said, "A woman's heart is the most unpredictable. Maybe it's really a mistake!" At this time, he had arrived in Wufu, and Guoxing saluted and left.Xiang Shaolong thought of his happy and warm family, and immediately put the matter of Shan Meimei behind him. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ As soon as he stepped into the gate of the mansion, his subordinates told him that Yang Yu, the red aunt from Zuifeng Tower, had come to look for him and was waiting in the east hall. Xiang Shaolong was stunned, vaguely guessed that it had something to do with Shan Meimei, who committed suicide and survived, and sighed inwardly.He almost wanted to send someone to send Yang Yu away, but he finally couldn't harden his heart and struggled with contradictions before going to the East Hall. This beautiful woman is completely washed out, wearing plain clothes, her appearance is more pleasing to the eye than her thick and colorful clothes. Although she is not as good as Shi Sufang from the night before, her delicate color is already rare. Up to now, he still can't figure out the mystery in the heart of this happy woman. Did she have to assassinate herself only because she succumbed to Lu Buwei's power?Or maybe she really fell in love with Guan Zhongxie or Shang, so she was willing to work as a minion. In this environment full of intrigue and intrigue, he learned not to trust anyone.At the same time, he also learned to use various means to deal with enemies, such as Wu Fu and Guo Xing. Seeing him coming, Yang Yu was overjoyed to leave his seat to welcome him. Xiang Shaolong was really afraid that she would throw her body into his arms, if the servants saw it and reported it to Wu Tingfang and other girls, then he would jump into the Yellow River and he would not be able to wash it off. People's psychology is like this, if he goes to the Zuifeng Building to fool around, Ji Cainv and others can ignore it without knowing it, but if he brings Fengliu home, it's another matter. Xiang Shaolong hurriedly saluted, and said in a dignified manner: "Miss Yu, please sit up." Yang Yunai is an expert in trying to figure out a man's heart, she smiled sweetly, and gave him a meaningful wink.Back in the seat, when Xiang Shaolong sat down beside him, he frowned and sighed softly: "Meimei wanted to hang herself this morning, fortunately we have been preventing her from doing stupid things, so we can rescue her in time , but there is a terrible bruise on the neck, and I will not be able to come out to see guests for a while." Xiang Shaolong frowned and said: "Miss Yu came to find someone Xiang, do you think I can help her?" Yang Yu said with a sigh of relief: "I also know that I came to find General Xiang in this way, and I would be very polite to me if I didn't let you out. It's just that Meimei and I are better than my sisters, and the others are afraid of Lu Buwei. Power is silent like cicadas. Now in Xianyang City, only the general does not take Lu Buwei seriously, Meimei and Yang Yu have nowhere to go, so the only ones who have the audacity to beg Mr. Xiang." Xiang Shaolong said distressedly: "Hasn't Meimei always been on good terms with Mrs. Lao? Now that his power has increased greatly, if he is willing to marry Meimei, and Meimei is willing, it will be difficult for Lu Buwei to object." Yang Yu showed disdain, and said with a pooh: "What kind of thing is Lai Ai? At best, he is just the empress dowager's favored male favorite. He can just come out to fool around. Someone gave him two singers a month ago, but they were all given to the empress dowager." Send someone to beat him to death, General, please tell me who else dares to marry into his Neishi mansion." Xiang Shaolong was stunned when he heard that, thinking of Zhu Ji's jealous eyes full of resentment during Lu Buwei's birthday feast, his whole body shivered. Zhu Ji has become too powerful. Since King Zhuang Xiao was killed by Lu Buwei, she has a lot of psychological problems, but she still can't imagine that she has become such a terrible woman. Yang Yu continued: "What's more, Meimei is just pretending to him. Originally, she was really fascinated by his handsome appearance and demeanor, but since she heard Bai Lei talk about the bad things about him before, she only hated him. There's no joy left." Xiang Shaolong thought to himself that Bai Lei must have heard about Lao Ai's evil deeds from Han Jie, and with Han Jie's character, he would add fuel and jealousy, and his tongue was not forgiving.But Lao Ai also "deserved what she deserved". Yang Yu's expression suddenly turned gentle, and he looked at him affectionately and said: "Only Lord Xiang has the best reputation, even if it is your enemy, you can't tell what bad things Master Xiang has done. At first we didn't understand, but later we saw We have repeatedly offended Lord Xiang, but Lord Xiang still understands that we have no other choice, and treats us kindly, we are all secretly very grateful." Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly: "Being a good person is the most difficult thing. Frankly speaking, it is really difficult for me to intervene in the matter of Lu Buwei wanting to take Meimei as his concubine, and there is no reason to intervene." Yang Yu said confidently: "Master Xiang has at least two ways to help Meimei. The easiest way is for Master Xiang to accept Meimei as a concubine, but I also know that this is a difficult thing for a strong man, and it will also make Master Xiang and Mrs. Lao feel at odds." .” Xiang Shaolong sighed, "What about another way?" Yang Yu bit her lower lip and said, "Help her escape from Qin." Xiang Shaolong was puzzled and said, "It's easy for me to help her leave the country, as long as I give orders, I can still do it, but the problem is that for a beauty as attractive as her, there will be people coveting her beauty wherever she goes , Didn’t she escape from the tiger’s mouth and then into the wolf’s mouth? If she encounters thieves or hooligans, her experience will be even more unimaginable.” Yang Yuxi said: "As long as Lord Xiang is willing to nod, it will be done. Meimei has a prince from the royal family who admires her in Wei. He has sent people many times to ask Meimei to go to Liang. If people come to the border to greet her, then Meimei’s safety will not be a problem.” Xiang Shaolong's heart moved and he said, "Who is the prince of the royal family?" Yang Yu lowered his voice and said, "It's Crown Prince Wei who was a hostage in Xianyang before and fled back to Daliang." Xiang Shaolong secretly thought so. It seems that Shan Meimei doesn't really like him, but if she becomes a princess, it's better than being Lu Buwei's tool to vent her desire. Xiang Shaolong knew his own business, and he must not harden his heart to see death without saving him. He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, you teach Meimei to pretend to be sick in the small building, and don't even see Wu Fu. Tonight, while everyone is going to participate in the Spring Festival During the banquet, I sent someone to send her away overnight. In addition, I sent a fast horse to inform the crown prince and Lord Longyang. The only thing I had to think about was to pretend that Meimei escaped by herself, so as not to drag Yu girl and others." Yang Yu threw himself into his arms with great joy, his eyes were red. Xiang Shaolong said in amazement: "If you want to thank me, please sit down for me first." Yang Yu desperately kissed him hard on the mouth, then moved away a little bit of tears and sobbed: "I am not enough to repay Master Xiang's great kindness. " It was only then that Xiang Shaolong was sure that this was not another trap, otherwise Yang Yu would really be a superstar in the acting school, and besides, he didn't have to personally participate in this matter, and there was no possibility of harming himself. After discussing the contact details with Yang Yu, he casually asked, "Why don't you go with Meimei?" Yang Yu glanced at him shyly, hesitated to speak, and finally lowered his head, blushing, with an extremely alluring expression. Xiang Shaolong suddenly said: "It turns out Miss Yu is in love with Guan Zhongxie." Yang Yu shook his head and said, "How could it be him? This man is a cold-blooded and ruthless person. Every time he is happy with someone, he immediately drives them away. He is not used to sleeping with others. Only Miss Lu San is the only man like this to see him." Xiang Shaolong said, "Naturally he wouldn't do this to Lu Niangrong, I know, it must be that guy Xu Shang, he is really good-looking." Yang Yu bit his lip and didn't make a sound, but his expression was distressed and helpless, before he said after a while: "It's not the same anywhere, if Lu Buwei forces me to be a concubine, I have to accept my fate. But Meimei is much stronger than me. Sigh I'm afraid Lord Xiang won't believe it if I tell it, but I don't want to deceive Lord Xiang with anything, Meimei's hanging is just a fake situation that Meimei and I came up with, so as to delay Lu Buwei." Xiang Shaolong said dejectedly: "I have been very careful, but I was still deceived by you." Yang Yu vowed: "Now there is no more concealment. Originally, the concubine didn't even dare to think about coming to Lord Xiang, but Meimei said that only Lord Xiang has the ability to help her, and she will definitely help her. Because she knows that Lord Xiang is born chivalrous." A real hero." Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly again and said, "She sees that I'm taking advantage of you very accurately." Yang Yu wiped away the tears and showed a charming smile.Said: "Meimei said, if Lord Xiang doesn't want her, just send her away. Alas, who woman in Xianyang City doesn't want to enter Lord Xiang's house now?" Xiang Shaolong's heart screamed fiercely, "professional" women like Yang Yu, if they want to please a man, they are really good at their job, and it is very useful for people to know that it is a lie.At least Gui Yan, Lu Niangrong, and even Ying Ying didn't want to marry Xiang Shaolong. Seeing that time was running out, Xiang Shaolong had to arrange for Shan Meimei to escape from Xianyang, and also rushed to the palace for a banquet. He was afraid that Ji Yanran and others would misunderstand, so he hurriedly invited Yang Yu and sent him out. After Yang Yu Pianran left, the first thing Xiang Shaolong did was to find Zhao Da. Since he had lived with Zhao Ya in Daliang for a long time and was most familiar with the local conditions, it was most appropriate to let him take charge of this matter. Shan Meimei is sent away in this way, the most unfortunate person is Wu Fu, which will force him to lean closer to himself and become another useful pawn in the Lu Buwei group. Zhao Da thought it was a dangerous mission, but when he heard that Shan Meimei was only sent to Weijing, he readily agreed. When Xiang Shaolong returned to the back house, he thought that Ji Yanran was waiting to be dressed up, but he didn't realize that all the wives and maidservants were having fun with their children, they were all wearing casual clothes, and had no intention of going to the spring banquet at all. Xiang Shaolong wondered, "Aren't you going to take advantage of the excitement?" Ji Yanran was lazily lying on the couch, leaning against the cushion, and said wearily: "My lord seems to have forgotten who raised that dragon's tail to slap the river all morning, and punished him to stand and study in the court." It took the whole hour. I wanted to go, but after taking a bath, I suddenly lost all strength, and I just wanted to do nothing, and I didn’t have the leisure to think about why my lord husband chatted with the girl from Zuifeng Tower for most of the night.” Xiang Shaolong felt pity at first, and then almost became angry, knelt down, kissed her cheek, and said to Wu Tingfang, "What about you?" Zhao Zhi curled his mouth and said, "Sister Yanran is not going, so why are we interested?" Xiang Shaolong understood a little bit in his heart, and raised his hands in surrender: "God can learn from it, I, Xiang Shaolong, and Yang Yu did not have any affair in the past, and it is the same today, the reason why she..." Ji Yanran covered his mouth with her hands, and said with a smile, "Don't be suspicious, we're just playing around!" Wu Tingfang giggled coquettishly, and said coquettishly: "But it's true that I won't go to the banquet. When I saw Lu Buwei, I thought... well, I won't talk about it." Seeing her expression darken, Xiang Shaolong immediately thought of Zhao Qian and Chun Ying and other beloved people, and understood what she meant.Tian Zhen and Tian Feng came over, picked him up, and helped him take a bath. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Dressed properly, when he came to the hall, Teng Yi and Jing Jun were chatting with Tao Fang and waiting for him. Xiang Shaolong said: "Did Zhao Da inform you about Shan Meimei?" Teng Yi nodded and said: "It's just a trivial matter, it's always a pleasure to be angry with Lu Buwei and harm Wu Fu." Jing Jun said: "Shan Meimei sees this clearly, so she doesn't worry about your refusal, but this woman is really beautiful." Xiang Shaolong reminded him, and immediately discounted Yang Yu, because it was too easy for him to assume a positive side. Tao Li said: "Just now I met Tuxian, he asked me if the black dragon was Shaolong, you came up with it, I dare not lie to him, Tuxian wants me to tell you, he really convinced you. This plan is better than stabbing Lu Buwei twice." Jibaizhan Baodao is even more powerful. Lu Buwei was furious after returning home, and guessed that we were pretending to be gods and ghosts, but there was nothing we could do. First, with Lu Buwei's character, he might take risks and teach us to be more careful." Xiang Shaolong was stunned in his heart, and nodded his head to accept the instruction, because he was indeed a little ecstatic by the victory, which was very dangerous. Teng Yi said with a smile: "Guan Zhongxie arrested a group of people, but as far as I see, they are all innocent people. He still wanted to use these people to take the blame, but our Lord Tingwei took them over. He is not allowed to beat him into a trick , Guan Zhongxie has lost his prestige this time." Jing Jun said distressedly: "As soon as I see Guoxing, I feel angry, and my third brother wants me to teach him how to do things, alas!" Xiang Shaolong grabbed him by the arm and pulled him over, and said with a straight face: "Knowing a mistake can make amends, and there is nothing good about it. Let Xiaojun treat it as a kindness and give him a chance!" Teng Yi stood up and said: "It's almost time, let's enter the palace!" Xiang Shaolong said: "Remember to bring your Mozi sword. Tonight will be a good show." Tao Fang was surprised: "How could such a thing happen? This is the state banquet of Daqin, without the crown prince nodding, who would dare to make trouble?" Xiang Shaolong patted the Hundred Wars Sword hanging on his waist, and said with a smile, "We are the ones who have the crown prince nodding, so that we can save the effort of going to the warrior's hotel in the future." Only then did Teng and Jing understand. Xiang Shaolong took the lead and walked towards the gate, he laughed and said, "The birth of the black dragon is an arrangement of destiny, and on this special day, let's give Qiu Risheng New Year's greetings earlier." Teng Jingtao and the other three chased after him with a smile, and stepped out of the door with him. Eighteen Iron Guards and Teng Jingtao's personal companions prepared horses and waited early. After the four got on their horses, they galloped out of the gate like a whirlwind, heading towards the palace. The entire city of Xianyang was shrouded in misty night mist, as strange as a ghost town. When Xiang Shaolong remembered that he could go back to the ranch to enjoy some happiness, his mood suddenly brightened.Ever since Zhao Qian and others died unfortunately, he had never tried to be as carefree as he is now, and he never felt as if he was overwhelmed by an invisible burden.
