Chapter 258 Chapter Four

Although Feng Fei refused to admit it, Xiang Shaolong was almost certain that her lover must be Han Jie. It can be imagined that Feng Fei met Han Jie in Xianyang, and the two became passionately in love, but they knew that if Lu Buwei or Lao Ai found out, they would definitely hinder them.The worst thing is that Lu Buwei and Lao Ai colluded secretly, even if Lao Ai nodded, it would be useless. So the two of them made an appointment to come together and make big plans such as elopement and the like.Because Han Jie is Cao Qiudao's proud disciple, he can accompany Lu Buwei to come to Zizi by amplifying the principle.

In this case, Xiang Shaolong, the deacon, has a great role to play.Because Feng Fei needs someone to arrange and cover up for her.so that she can get away safely. Since Feng Fei's lover is Han Jie, it should be a conspiracy jointly planned by Lao Ai and Lu Buwei that Feng Fei wanted to kill him that day.Feng Fei changed her mind temporarily because she wanted to go far away with Han Jie, so she couldn't bear the risk of killing her. Thinking deeper, Feng Fei might have been ordered by Tian Shan.Then Lu Buwei arranged for her to harm him with a poison ring, as long as it was a slow poison, Xiang Shaolong would die from the poison after many days, or the poison would blind his eyes and so on.

After the plot succeeded, Feng Fei left safely at that time. Although Xiang Shaolong still doesn't understand the details, he is confident that he has a rough idea of ​​the situation. Before they stepped out of the front hall, they bumped into Xiao Yuetan who was looking for him, and the two of them hid in the quiet east chamber. Xiang Shaolong said: "Is there a way to get me a topographic map of Jixia Academy?" Xiao Yuetan was taken aback and said, "What are you doing here? Cao Qiudao is not easy to mess with." Xiang Shaolong said: "I just went to steal my own things back. King Qi gave Cao Qiudao my Baizhan Dao and hung it in the main hall of Jixia Academy."

Xiao Yuetan said: "I was just about to tell you about this, who told you?" Xiang Shaolong told about Han Chuang's visit to him this morning, Xiao Yuetan frowned and pondered for a long time. Said: "Shaolong, don't blame me for talking too much. I know Han Chuang very well. He is lustful and greedy. He is selfish and selfish. He does things for the purpose and never speaks of principle. Even if you have been kind to him, you will never No difference." Thinking of Han Chuang's sincere appearance this morning.It was difficult for Xiang Shaolong to accept Xiao Yuetan's opinion, but Xiao Yuetan's kindness made him speechless for a while.

Xiao Yuetan said earnestly: "Shaolong, don't relax, you have just changed from one extremely dangerous situation to another. If I were you, I would never trust anyone in Sanjin, but Li Yuan It is more reliable, after all, the people of Chu do not feel the threat of Ying Zheng as much as the people of Sanjin." Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly and said, "Now I'm alone, it's not easy for Han Chuang or Lord Longyang to deal with me." Xiao Yuetan shook his head and said, "You are too trustworthy. First of all, Han Chuang and others know this and must not make it public. If the Qi people know the truth, maybe the King of Qi will treat you as a guest of honor and send you back to Xianyang respectfully." Paused Dun said again: "Or simply kill you to silence you, no one can be sure about this."

Xiang Shaolong remained silent. Xiao Yuetan continued: "Who dares to bear the charge of killing you now. Kill you today, and the army of Qin State will come to the city tomorrow. That's not a joke." Xiang Shaolong said, "Who would know if you killed me secretly?" Xiao Yuetan said: "At least Li Yuan will know, Han Chuang and Lord Longyang have no scruples." Then he smiled and said, "Is it that easy to kill you? Who doesn't know that Xiang Shaolong's swordsmanship is world-class, and once you get away, this place is not in the Sanjin area, who is sure to capture and kill you again? If I were They, first of all, teach you not to be suspicious, and then lead you into a desperate situation from which there is no escape, and then use despicable means to teach you to ambush and die under the power of force."

Xiang Shaolong broke out in a cold sweat, but he still didn't believe it in his heart, so he said perfunctorily, "I will be careful." Xiao Yuetan just talked about the matter, nodded and said: "Maybe I'm worrying too much! But it's always good to be careful. Logically, Lord Longyang has already harmed you once, so it's hard to be cruel and do it a second time. But people's hearts Unpredictable, especially when it involves the interests of the country and the tribe, Shaolong think about it carefully!" Xiang Shaolong patted Xiao Yuetan's shoulder and said gratefully: "Here, brother, you are the only person I trust completely. Feng Fei's problem is even more complicated now."

Xiao Yuetan hurriedly asked why, and after Xiang Shaolong expressed his inference, Xiao Yuetan frowned and said, "Although I don't know Han Jie, but seeing him travel thousands of miles to Xianyang to pursue prosperity and wealth, are you really willing to give up everything for a woman?" ?” Xiang Shaolong agreed: "It is said that Han Jie is a nobleman in Korea, and he knew Lao Ai early in Korea. Since he is willing to associate with a person like Lao Ai, it is difficult to be a good person. If he is lying to Feng Fei instead of loving Feng Fei, the problem is more serious."

Xiao Yuetan laughed and said, "As outsiders, it's hard for us to understand this kind of thing. Feng Fei is indeed the kind of woman who can make a man willing to sacrifice everything. Shaolong might as well give it a try, it's better than cheap Han Jie." Xiang Shaolong shook his head and said, "I know her lover is Han Jie, and I won't touch her." Xiao Yuetan clapped the case and said: "I thought, Feng Fei must be planning to sneak back to Xianyang and become Han Jie's secret lover, and this matter has been approved by Lai Ai, just to hide it from Lu Buwei."

Xiang Shaolong sighed: "Feng Fei is really cunning. When I told her that the master behind Zhang Quan was Lu Buwei, she pretended to be shocked and panicked, and deceived me into giving up. It's for her to play in the trap." Xiao Yuetan said: "I also found out another thing that will give you a headache, do you want to know?" Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly, "I'm already numb, so I won't feel too uneasy if I say it." Xiao Yuetan said: "Zhongsun Heji went to Zhongsunlong to inquire about the news according to my words. It turns out that this vampire secretly sent someone to inform those madmen in Jixia, saying that you rely on your sword skills and don't care about the swordsmen of Qi State. Alas! This man It's so despicable. I'm afraid of offending Li Yuan and Xie Ziyuan, so I have to use despicable methods in secret."

Xiang Shaolong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Someone came to me long ago, and suffered a hidden loss. If it's a bright sword, there's nothing to be afraid of. It's definitely not Cao Qiu who came to me!" Xiao Yuetan said: "You have to be careful of these two people, Ma Chengjia and Min Tingzhang, they love to stir up trouble, they have a temperament that is afraid of chaos, but they do have real skills." Before the words were finished, the family general Fei Chun came to report in a panic: "The deacon is not good, there are a group of fierce swordsmen coming, and those who named him want to see the deacon." The two looked at each other in astonishment, secretly thinking that it would be such a coincidence. Xiang Shaolong didn't want Xiao Yuetan to get involved in this kind of trouble, and he didn't want to expose the intimate relationship between the two, insisting on dealing with troublemakers alone. After deducing from the conversation with Han Chuang this morning that Feng Fei had been lying to him, he felt very disheartened about his "good intentions". For Han Jie, a swordsman who is comparable to Xiang Shaolong, although he has no liking or dislike for him, but if he wants to classify him, this gentleman should be the generation of "limited good people".But Feng Fei was fascinated by his handsome appearance.For this reason, Feng Fei's status in his heart could not help but drop sharply.Although he has no ambitions for Feng Fei, he always hopes that she will entrust her life to a person of character. Now his mood has changed drastically, he only hopes to arrange the way of Dong Shuzhen and others, and then retires, returns to Xianyang to meet his lovely wife and children, and waits patiently for Xiaopan's ascension to the throne and the duel with Lu Lai. . Although Xiao Yuetan points out that Han Chuang is unreliable, he is confident that Han Chuang's friendship with him transcends the despicable side of human nature. Until now, he has an almost naive belief in the goodness of human nature, because he is such a person himself. No one hated vendettas and struggles more than he did.But in this day and age, all this is as common as the air we breathe. After thinking about it, Xiang Shaolong stepped over the threshold and stepped into the main hall of the front yard. Five young swordsmen of different heights from the Qi Kingdom lined up in the middle of the hall, and ten eyes shot at him the moment he entered. They are wearing noble warrior clothes, just look at their gorgeous sabers.You will know that if you are not a minister, you are the son of a wealthy businessman. Zhang Quan's confidants Kunshan and his family generals Feng Liang and Lei Yun'er stood aside with expressions of indignation, obviously irritated by these arrogant and rude people. To be honest, Xiang Shaolong is in a bad mood right now, and he really wants to find these people who came to his door for surgery.But he knew that if he did this, he would only make the matter worse and worse, and in the end he would provoke challenges from masters like Zhongsun Xuanhua, Dan Chu, Ma Chengjia, and Min Tingzhang. The five people in front of them are definitely not masters of this level, which can be judged from their demeanor. But it is not advisable to be too tolerant, otherwise the other party will make an inch of it and make oneself have no foothold in Linzi.How to put ink in the middle is the most challenging part. The tallest young man among them shouted coldly: "The person here is Shen Liang, a dog slave who boasts of being unparalleled in swords." Xiang Shaolong snorted coldly and rushed over. The five people were startled, and they all put their hands on the handle of the sword. Xiang Shaolong stopped half a foot in front of the five people and stood still.With a sweep of tiger eyes, he took all the reactions of the five people into his mind in an instant, and said with a smile: "This young master is named Gao, why did he make two mistakes in one word?" The tall and strong young man was obviously the leader of the five people, his eyes were wide open, and he said in a stern voice: "If you don't change your surname when you walk, you don't change your name when you sit. 'Quaijian' is always my son. What mistake did I make?" Just listening to his tone, one could tell that he was suppressed by his aura, and he said with a smile in his heart: "First of all, I never think that my swordsmanship is any good, and secondly, I am not a dog slave." Another short and stout young man sneered, "What kind of servant is a servant of a singing girl if it's not a dog slave?" The other four laughed together, and said more humanely: "Ask your master to intercede, and we will let you go!" The three people in Kunshan and Fei Chun who came in with Xiang Shaolong all showed grief and indignation for being humiliated, but it seemed that these people could not be messed with, and they were extremely helpless. Xiang Shaolong was calm and composed, pretending to be stunned, "Ah!" and said: "It turns out that those who do things for others are dog slaves. Aren't all the people in the whole country except the king, dog slaves?" These five people were brave and foolhardy people, they were at a loss for words and couldn't say anything to argue. Xiang Shaolong's tone became more gentle, and he said politely: "Dare to ask the five young masters, who has ever heard that Shen is unparalleled in swordsmanship, can you find him and confront him, if there is such a thing, Shen will kowtow and admit his mistake." The five of you stared at me, speechless. Kun Shan took the opportunity and said: "The villain said earlier that someone must have slandered Deacon Shen!" Nian Chang said with a bit of embarrassment and anger: "We are here anyway. You can't teach us to go for nothing, let Deacon Shen show his hand!" Xiang Shaolong said with a smile: "This is easy. Although Shen's swordsmanship is unbearable to the eyes of the five masters, but he has small things in his hand, look at the knife!" Amidst the sound of shouting, the left and right hands were raised at the same time, and the two daggers that had been hidden in the cuffs slipped into the hands, and they were thrown out casually, flying left and right, and were accurately inserted into the window frames on the east and west sides. Difference. Including Kun Shanku, everyone's expressions changed in astonishment.The most rare thing is that the left and right bows are both so fast and accurate. Knowing that these newborn calves were already intimidated, Xiang Shaolong bowed and saluted: "Mr. Shen still has important matters to attend to, so I won't send them off!" He turned around calmly and left the hall. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Xiang Shaolong borrowed the cover of Xiao Yuetan's carriage.Leave Tingsongyuan and go to the "most reliable" Li Yuan. Xiao Yuetan praised: "Shaolong really understands Qi people's mentality of saving face. In this way, how dare these five boys tell the truth, they will only threaten you to admit your mistakes to them, and no one will be interested in coming to you anymore. " Xiang Shaolong shook his head and sighed: "Since Zhongsunlong is a Qi person who cares about face, how can he give up." Xiao Yuetan said: "You have to find Li Yuan this time, Zhongsunlong will endure this." After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Do you know that Feng Fei and Xiao Ping'er were escorted by several confidantes and left through the back door just now?" Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said, "How do you know?" Xiao Yuetan replied: "Yunniang saw it! She told me." Xiang Shaolong frowned and said, "Are you going to see Han Jie? It would be great if I could follow her." Xiao Yuetan said: "You are unfamiliar here, it would be strange not to be discovered." At this time, the sound of hooves suddenly sounded, and several riders came from behind. Xiang Shaolong poked his head out, and it turned out that Jin Boss, Jin Chengcheng, and several of his subordinates rode their horses after him, and shouted, "Deacon Shen, stay a step." Xiao Yuetan ordered Yushou to stop. Boss Jin came to the car window and said, "Is Deacon Shen free to say a few words?" How could Xiang Shaolong say "no", after nodding in agreement, he said to Xiao Yuetan: "Brother, remember to get me the map of Jixia Palace, I will go to Li Yuan on my own." When stepping off the carriage, Boss Jin slammed off his horse and led him to a nearby tavern, where he found a quiet corner. He sat down and said, "Brother Shen! You are in trouble today." Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly: "I have so many troubles, why not add one more." Boss Jin gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Shen is really a hero. I, Boss Jin, did not miss you as a friend." Xiang Shaolong said hotly in his heart: "Boss Jin is really a friend, what exactly is it?" Jin Lao Dao: "Last night, Tian Dan held a dust-cleaning banquet for Lu Buwei. Both Sufang and I attended the banquet. I happened to be at the same table with one of Zhong Sunlong's subordinates. During the chat, he asked me if I knew you. Of course, I will not reveal the relationship between us. real relationship." Xiang Shaolong laughed and said, "It's not that there is a reward for taking the head off my neck!" Boss Jin laughed dumbly and said: "Brother Shen is really open-minded, but it's not serious enough. Have you ever heard of the 'Ji Xia Sword Club'?" Xiang Shaolong shook his head to express that he hadn't heard of it. Jin Lao Dao: "On the first day of every month, Jixia Academy holds a riding and archery meeting to give newcomers a chance to show off their skills. Today is the 27th, and three days later will be the sword meeting next month. As usual, they will invite some Guests to participate. Hey! That’s just a polite way of saying it, it’s not easy to say that it’s just to find someone to compete.” Xiang Shaolong said: "If they want me to participate? I can excuse my illness and refuse, you can't force me to go!" Boss Jin sighed: "These invitation letters were all sent through King Qi. Is Brother Shen brave enough not to give King Qi face? I heard that Zhongsun Long's son Zhongsun Xuanhua was very angry with Brother Shen, so he decided to personally punish you. Although he didn't dare to kill people and only used a wooden sword, but with his sword strength, breaking brother Shen's leg is not difficult." Xiang Shaolong immediately frowned, what he was afraid of was not Zhongsun Xuanhua who had beaten Linzi's invincible opponents, but that Tian Dan, Lu Buwei and others would also be guests, and it would be a miracle that he didn't reveal his identity. Boss Jin said in a low voice: "Brother Shen, why don't you leave Linzi overnight. Miss Feng will definitely not blame you." Xiang Shaolong was greatly moved, this is indeed the best way, but what about Dong Shuzhen and the others?Going away like this will become a thorn in the heart in the future, and you can never think about peace of mind. Boss Jin urged again: "Zhongsunlong's power is at its peak here, even the ministers with status are afraid of him, brother Shen can't beat him." Xiang Shaolong sighed and said, "Thank you Boss for your reminder, I may have a way to deal with this matter." After saying that, he patted Boss Jin on the shoulder and went to find Li Yuan.
