Chapter 239 Chapter 9 The Power Struggle

When the boat arrived at the pier outside Gucheng, it was still not dark.When Fang Sheng happily pulled Xiang Shaolong off the boat to mess around, he called Xiang Shaolong to Zhang Quan and said, "Miss Feng needs a car, you go and prepare it." Xiang Shaolong asked in astonishment, "Where is the car?" Zhang Quan said in displeasure, "Do you have eyes that grow out to look at your butt? Is there a carriage parked on the pier?" As soon as Xiang Shaolong spoke, he knew he would be scolded. Although the carriage was on another boat, it should have driven off at this time, but he was anxious and couldn't escape, so he talked nonsense.

Fang Sheng secretly gave him a hand, and he followed Fang Sheng out of the boat by the steps.Suddenly, someone pushed him hard from behind. He lost his balance, fell forward, and hit Fang Sheng on his back. The two staggered down the diving board and fell straight to the ground of the pier. If there were no handrails on both sides of the diving board, they might have fallen into the river. Xiang Shaolong got up, Fang Sheng was holding his left foot, sweating from the pain, his face contorted. The boat roared with laughter. I saw Gu Ming and a group of warriors, hugging a short and strong man like a warrior, laughing at them.

Someone shouted: "Look at Shen Liang, you are tall and strong. It turns out that you have a silver-like wax spear head, which is useless. Brother Wu Xun accidentally touched it lightly, and then fell to the ground. What did you say that you are proficient in martial arts?" .” Xiang Shaolong recognized the person who spoke as Fu Yan, he was a core member of Gu Ming's party, and at the same time he secretly remembered the general named Wu Xun. Zhang Quan appeared at the stern of the boat and shouted angrily at Gu Ming and the others: "What's the matter?" Gu Ming took his time and said: "Both of them can't even walk, no one is to blame."

Then they scrambled down the pier and roared away. Zhang Quan glared at the disheveled Xiang Shaolong, scolded "useless guy", and turned away. Xiang Shaolong was really angry, and silently helped Fang Sheng up, but Fang Sheng still screamed and said, "My leg is broken!" Xiang Shaolong wished he could go after Gu Ming and the others immediately, and kill them all. He said apologetically, "I'm tired of you!" Fang Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "They wanted to hurt you and teach you not to drive, alas! You and I don't have to go out to have fun tonight."

At this time, several stewards rushed down to assist Xiang Shaolong in helping Fang Sheng onto the boat. When they were about to reach the deck, a female voice yelled, "What the hell are you doing, you dare to block Miss Feng's way." Xiang Shaolong felt bad, lowered his head and bowed his body, helping Fangsheng move aside.Taking a sneak peek, Feng Feiying, who was wearing a veil, was standing in front of her, next to Xiao Ping'er who was still wearing men's clothes, and four other pretty maidservants, surrounded by more than a dozen families, this beauty was looking at herself.

The little Ping'er obviously didn't recognize herself, and said with an angry face: "What happened?" Zhang Quan and another person got out from nowhere, and when they were about to speak, the handsome middle-aged man next to him rushed to say: "It was just an unintentional collision." Then he shouted to Xiang Shaolong: "You are the one Is it a new guy? It’s useless! Why don’t you get out of here quickly, do you want the eldest lady to wait for you?” Zhang Quan's expression changed when he heard him pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. Feng Fei's voice sounded like Xianle Tianse from inside the veil: "Deputy Manager Sha!" It sounded like a reproach.

Sha Li had achieved his goal, so he kept silent triumphantly. Feng Fei took a look at Xiang Shaolong, and said calmly: "Be careful in the future, after helping Fangsheng back to his room, come down and set up a car!" Xiang Shaolong wiped off his cold sweat, knowing that their master and servant did not recognize him.Seeing her stepping off the springboard in the arms of front and back, I can only smile wryly in my heart.In this way, he would never be able to escape.What's more, he felt that Fang Sheng hadn't recovered from his leg injury for a day, so he should stay and take care of Fang Sheng.This is the principle of Xiang Shaolong's life.

◇◇◇◇◇◇ I don't know when, the snow powder started to fall again. Under the dim light of dusk, the fine snow fluttered softly and feebly, as if reluctantly fell to the ground and ended the short but moving journey.Everything is slowed down and purified. Xiang Shaolong rode his healthy horse, carrying the beauty on his way.The four masters in front will open the way, and the eight masters will follow behind. Wei Bing's commanding general Ao Xiang also brought more than a dozen personal followers, accompanying him on both sides, showing that Feng Fei's status is highly respected by the dignitaries of all countries.She is like an artist of the 21st century who is both talented in sex and art, and the songs and lyrics she compose are all popular for a while, which is beyond the comparison of ordinary kabuki who sell their looks.

In this kind of situation, Xiang Shaolong couldn't escape even if he didn't have the burden of having a room.It's not impossible, but it will make Ao Xiang suspicious.The most wonderful thing is that Ao Xiang naturally thought that Xiang Shaolong was the imperial master who had worked for Feng Fei for many years, so he didn't have the slightest suspicion of him. He didn't know where his destination was at all, he only knew that he was chasing behind the horses of the generals ahead.Amidst the sound of hoofbeats, the team of carriages and horses drove unimpeded into the ancient city trapped in a vast expanse of whiteness.

Most of the shops are open, but it can still be seen from the signboards that the city is mainly crafts such as woodworking, embroidery, weaving and sewing. Although Xiang Shaolong is not a person with a deep understanding of culture, but because of his strong observation skills, he feels that this city has a more scholarly and antique atmosphere than any city in this era that he has been to before. At this moment, Ao Xiang rode his horse to the side of the carriage, bowed his head and said to Fengfei: "In the old days when the old Jin Han Xuanzi came to the State of Lu, he saw the classics collected by Lu Taishi, and sighed that 'the rites of Zhou are all in Lu'. Ms. Feng revisits her old place, she should feel something."

Xiang Shaolong's heart skipped a beat, only then did he know that this city originally belonged to the State of Lu, and after the death of Lu, it fell into the hands of the Wei people at some point.Even Confucius was born in this land, no wonder there is a cultural atmosphere that is not found in other countries. Feng Fei sighed quietly: "It's also because of this tiring work. If we Lu people were not stubborn and conservative, holding on to the classics, rituals and music, we would not have been controlled by Qi at first, and then by Wu and Yue; although we are praised as a state of gentlemen , is not the hatred of subjugation. Lord Ao is too famous." Hearing her Xiaosa tone, Xiang Shaolong felt a burst of emotion in his heart.It turned out that she was not the princess of Song, but the princess of Lu.However, Lu Song is adjacent to each other, and maybe both countries have something to do with her. Ao Xiang patted the wrong place with this flattery, and after rambling awkwardly, seeing that Feng Fei had no interest in talking at all, he retreated back to the original place knowingly. The horse team turned left and right, gradually left the avenue, and walked towards a remote place in the west of the city.In the light of the wind lantern, under the bleak wind and snow, it is like advancing in an endless dream. Xiang Shaolong felt the sadness of the beautiful woman behind him returning to his homeland, and imagined that when Xiao Pan unified the world in the future, Ao Xiang and others would all become subjugated people like her, and couldn't help feeling another emotion. The sunset is infinitely good, but it is almost dusk.This may be a reflection of the current six eastern countries. After passing through a sparse forest, the horse team stopped at a mausoleum. Suddenly, Xiang Shaolong realized that Feng Fei came here to offer sacrifices to a certain ancestor. Feng Fei and others got out of the car, accompanied by Ao Xiang and walked towards the mausoleum, not behind the trees.Xiang Shaolong and the rest of the family left Wei Bing where they were, and after a while there were faint cries.When they turned their heads, except Feng Fei was covered by a veil and could not see her face, Xiao Ping'er and others all had their eyes swollen from crying. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Back on the boat, it was late at night. Gu Ming and others slipped to the shore to have a good time, leaving Fang Sheng with an angry face. Xiang Shaolong saw that his left foot was tied with some cloth indiscriminately, and asked: "What's the matter?" Fang Sheng's eyes turned red and he said, "If my feet don't heal, I'm going to find them desperately." Xiang Shaolong had received general medical training in bruises and injuries, so he untied the bound cloth, touched and studied it, and heaved a sigh of relief: "It's just that the bone has shifted, come on! Endure the pain a little bit." .” Fang Sheng let out a scream, and when tears welled up in his eyes, Xiang Shaolong also accomplished the feat. Fang Sheng stood up and tried to take two steps, he was surprised and said: "Brother Shen is indeed capable." Xiang Shaolong patted the mat beside him, said with a smile: "Sit down, I have something to say to Brother Fang." Fang Sheng's mood at this moment was vastly different from just now, he sat down happily and said, "Brother Shen, please tell me!" Xiang Shaolong took out the two ingots of gold from his pocket, held them in his palm, and brought them under his nose. Fang Sheng's eyes widened to the limit immediately, and he let out a breath of cold air and said, "My God! This is gold." Just these two ingots of gold are enough for ordinary people to live without worries. Xiang Shaolong stuffed the gold into his hand and said in a low voice, "This is yours." Fang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "How can I accept Brother Shen's gold?" Xiang Shaolong lied to him and said: "I have ten ingots of this kind of gold in total, and they were all given to me by Mr. Wuji when he knew he couldn't help it. Brother Fang took them anyway, and then pretended to break his leg and left this little place. A song and dance troupe where people are in charge, pursuing their own ideal life." Fang Sheng grabbed the gold tightly and said in surprise, "Brother Shen is so rich, why did you come to hang around with us?" Xiang Shaolong said nonsense: "To be honest, I took the opportunity to leave Daliang this trip. Since the death of Mr. Wuji, no one of us old people would dare to use it. I was unwilling to be mediocre, so I took the opportunity to go to Qi State to try my luck. .” Fang Sheng was grateful and said: "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. With these two pieces of gold and my savings for the past two years, I will ask Miss to resign tomorrow morning." After thinking for a while, he said: "Why don't we go together! Sha Li is narrow-minded and will never let you go, while Zhang Quan is just using you, even if Brother Shen dies, he will not lose a drop Tears." Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Brother Fang is gone, I don't have any worries anymore, our fall will never be in vain." Fang Sheng stared at him blankly, at this moment, he felt that Xiang Shaolong seemed to have changed into another person. Fang Sheng couldn't wait that night, and told Zhang Quan that he would leave the group due to a leg injury. Zhang Quan had no intention of keeping him.The excuse was that he resigned by himself, and he was given a negligible ten or so copper coins, and asked him to leave the ship tomorrow morning. Fang Sheng angrily told Xiang Shaolong that there should have been a considerable amount of retirement allowance for him, needless to say, it had already fallen into Zhang Quan's private pocket.Of course he wouldn't really take this to heart, because those two ingots of gold had already satisfied him. The next morning Xiang Shaolong sent him off the boat, and when he was hesitating whether to go missing with him, Gu Ming and the others came back, and when they passed by, they taunted and ridiculed them before boarding the boat. Xiang Shaolong saw that the pier was full of Wei soldiers, and Zhang Quan on the boat was eyeing him, so he said goodbye to Fang Sheng, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and returned to the boat. The fleet departs. Seeing the other servants, Xiang Shaolong dared not talk to him like a god of plague, and Zhang Quan's group ignored him as if he was a waste. He was amused, took his breakfast, hid in a corner of the deck and ate . But in her heart, she was thinking about how to make a big fuss with him, so as to force Feng Fei to fire her, then she could leave in a big way, and no one would suspect him.But the time must be right, it is best to make trouble before replenishing food and water at the next stop, then it will be logical to drive off the ship when berthing at the pier. At the beginning, he felt a little guilty for stealing someone's job, but now he knows that he helped that person prevent a disaster.Gu Ming and those people were obviously ordered by the deputy manager, Sha Li, and vowed to force him to leave. Na Shali was good looking, maybe because of this talent, he hooked up with a certain powerful servant girl, and after his strength increased, he came to take over Zhang Quan's lucrative job. While thinking about it, a pair of small boots appeared in front of my eyes. Xiang Shaolong looked up in astonishment, just happened to be blocked by the double peaks on the girl's chest, so he couldn't see her appearance, so he stood up in surprise, it turned out to be the second miss Dong Shuzhen's close pet The servant girl, Miss Ling. She glanced at him with a half-smile, and snorted coldly: "Are you that trouble-loving Shen Liang?" Xiang Shaolong had already decided to leave the ship at the next stop, so why should he sell her account? He returned to his former all-powerful spirit, smiled and said: "Miss Xiaoling won the prize, and no one made a fuss, so how can there be any trouble? " Sister Xiaoling didn't expect Xiang Shaolong to be so tit-for-tat, she changed her face in surprise and said, "How courageous! Do you know who to talk to?" Xiang Shaolong folded his hands on his chest, and said calmly: "The state has state laws, and the family has family rules. Everything cannot escape the word of reason. I am alone now, but people are in groups. Sister Xiaoling, please let me comment. , who has the right to make trouble?" Miss Xiaoling was at a loss for words, when it came to eloquence, how could she be Xiang Shaolong's opponent who was used to big scenes, her face was flushed with anger, she stared at him for a few times, and then she put her hands on her hips and said coquettishly: "You Don't you want to do it!" Xiang Shaolong calmed down and said, "I'm afraid it should be decided by Guanshi Zhang or Miss Feng, right?" Sister Xiaoling has always been the only one who swears at others, but she has never been contradicted by a servant of Xiang Shaolong's status, she was so angry that she stamped her feet and left. Xiang Shaolong watched her go to Gu Ming's group on the other side, and called Gu Ming into the cabin, knowing that a good show was coming, secretly felt it was funny, turned around to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river after the snow stopped. He was almost certain that the person Sha Li hooked up was this pretty maid, Miss Xiaoling, who might even have the support of Dong Shuzhen, the number two figure in the song and dance troupe, to challenge Zhang Quan's power. When he was thinking about the route to escape back to Qin, he was patted on the shoulder.Xiang Shaolong turned his head and saw a family general, and he was also one of the people who escorted Feng Fei to the city to worship last night. The general said: "Master Zhang wants to see you!" Seeing that he didn't dare to look directly at him when he spoke, Xiang Shaolong didn't know what was going on, so he smiled and said, "What's the name of this big brother?" The man said: "My name is Xu Ran, come with me!" Xiang Shaolong's heart felt hot, his hands and feet itched at the same time, and he followed him into the cabin.
