Chapter 288 Chapter Ten Receives Xianyang

That night, Xiang Shaolong met with Xiao Pan and said that he would send Jing Jun and his people back to Xianyang to help Teng Yi deal with Lu Buwei. Xiaopan wanted to refuse, but couldn't do it, so he agreed.So that Xiang Shaolong can formally arrange the ship and other matters, and he is not afraid that someone will be suspicious of the inspection. In the morning of the next day, Qin Qing went to see Xiao Pan and said that she had received a notice from the Queen Mother to stay in Dazheng Palace for two days.Xiao Pan is not afraid of fraud, so at Qin Qing's insistence, he has no choice but to agree.

At that moment, Qin Qing and Ji Yanran, escorted by eight Wu family soldiers disguised as Qiao, left the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvest in a grand manner. On the way, they met Xiang Shaolong, turned into Jing Jun's followers, hid the carriage in a secluded place, and went Out of town and on board. Down the river, and with the wind, it took half a day to return to Xianyang.They landed at the appointed place, and after waiting for half an hour, Teng Yi, Tao Fang and Xiao Yuetan came to meet them. They were overjoyed to see Qin Qing and Ji Yanran, and their morale was even higher. Teng Yi smiled and said: "Everything is well arranged, just wait for the general to come back and preside over the overall situation."

Xiang Shaolong smiled and punched Teng Yi's thick arm, and said, "Second brother also came to tease me, it shows how cheerful he is. This time we only have two days, so we must act immediately." Ji Yanran asked Xiao Yuetan, "Is there any news from Manager Tu?" Xiao Yuetan replied: "Tugong and his family and more than 300 confidantes have made preparations. As long as we notify, he will immediately poison." Teng Yi said: "The timing is the most important thing. When Director Tu poisoned us, we must deprive Xu Shang of the capital guard right at the same time, so that Director Tu and his family and cronies can leave the city safely without worrying about Mr. Lu. Thieves escape from our grasp."

Xiao Yuetan sighed: "This is where the anesthetic plan is not perfect. This medicine is very strong, and it will attack within a moment after taking it. In order to make more people poisoned, I had to poison it at dinner, but As for how many will be recruited, it is difficult to be sure." Jing Jun said: "As long as we surround Zhongfu's mansion secretly, we won't be afraid of Lu Buwei escaping." Xiang Shaolong said: "Director Tu, do you know the entrance and exit of Father Zhong's underground secret passage?" Xiao Yuetan said: "When the old thief built Zhongfu's mansion, Tugong was the most unhappy period. He was only responsible for handling materials, so he didn't know anything about it."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Since that's the case, we have no choice but to send people to set up outposts outside the city. Alas! Unless we have the prince's order in hand, we can't stop him from leaving the city. The generals who are all riding will be suspicious because of this." , so we have no choice but to hunt him down by ourselves.” Turning to Qin Qing, he said, "Miss Qing can now be accompanied by Mr. Tao back to the mansion. Let's see who should be brought along with me. The others should be dismissed properly, and then rush to the ranch immediately, waiting for our good news."

Qin Qing bit her lower lip and nodded in response to the tense atmosphere that was about to rain. When Xiang Shaolong felt pity in his heart, Ji Yanran asked Teng Yi, "Is there any trace of the enemy nearby?" Everyone understood that the "enemy" she referred to was Wei Liao's 40,000 army, and all eyes were on Teng Yi. Teng Yi said suspiciously: "I'm also surprised by this, because I can't see them at all." Xiao Yuetan said: "Now we are racing against time. According to my opinion, Wei Liao's army should be stationed somewhere upstream, waiting for Ying Zheng's instructions, and can arrive in Xianyang in a short time at any time. As long as we act quickly, we can Stay away when Wei Liao arrives."

Xiang Shaolong threw everything away and said excitedly, "The time to act is up." Everyone suddenly agreed. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Xiang Shaolong still entered the city in Wuguo's appearance, and when he arrived at the Duqi official office, he returned to his original appearance. At the same time, he summoned more than a hundred of the Imperial Army and Duqi generals who were stationed there, and presented the Tiger Talisman, declaring that he was ordered by the Chujun to come back to lead the three armies in the capital. , in case someone rebels. All the generals had heard about Lv Lai's collusion with the two parties for a long time, and Xiang Shaolong had always been the prince's confidant general, he had a high reputation, and he showed the Tiger Talisman, no matter who he was, they all vowed to serve him to the death.

At this time, it was just the moment when the lanterns were first lit, and the city was peaceful, and there was no abnormality at all. Xiang Shaolong first ordered the Imperial Guards and the Du Cavalry to surround the official office heavily, and then led his followers, along with Teng Yi, Jing Jun, Ji Yanran, Xiao Yuetan, etc., directly into the official office. The guards at the gate have subdued them before they can communicate. At this time Xu Shangzheng and the others were leading the discussion in the main hall, suddenly seeing Xiang Shaolong rushing over, he had no time to react, he was already immobilized by the threat of dozens of crossbows.

Xu Shang and his men all changed countenance. This master, known as the number one swordsman in Shangcai, didn't even have a chance to draw the sword around his waist.It happened so suddenly, especially since Xiang Shaolong should still be in Yongdu. Xu Shang still had difficulty keeping calm, and said in a deep voice, "General, what do you mean by this?" Xiang Shaolong did not show the Tiger Talisman until his subordinates handed over their weapons, and said, "This commander has a royal order, and from now on, this commander will take full power over the Duwei Army. Who dares to disobey it?"

When Xu Shang saw the tiger talisman, he immediately knew that the situation was over, and there was no way to turn back.The others were even more silent. Seeing that he has controlled the whole situation, Xiang Shaolong gave an order: "The others will be put in prison for me, and only Commander Xu will be left here." When only Xu Shang was left, Xiang Shaolong took the main seat and ordered Xu Shang to sit down beside him.After Teng Yi and Jing Jun obtained Xu Shang's Commanding Army Talisman, they rushed to receive the Duwei Army. Xu Shang smiled wryly, "You won!"

Xiang Shaolong said lightly with puns: "This is a doomed history, and I, Xiang Shaolong, just carry it out! From the moment Lu Buwei poisoned the previous king, Lu thief was doomed to a tragic end. The question is whether Brother Xu cares about himself ending." Hope flashed across Xu Shang's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Will the general let me go?" Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Brother Xu should know that I am not a cruel and easy-to-kill person. I let them go even Guan Zhongxie and Miss San. Now they should have arrived at the state of Chu, so right now I just want to know about Brother Xu. Mind." Hearing that Guan Zhongxie had failed and was released and escaped, Xu Shang broke down and sighed: "The general is really an invincible general, what do you want me to do?" Xiang Shaolong said: "As long as Brother Xu tells me the escape route of Lu Buwei in an emergency, I can immediately send Brother Xu and his family out of the city." While Xu Shang was still pondering and hesitating, Xiang Shaolong said: "Brother Xu, if he wants to hear Lan Gongyuan's fairy songs again, he must make a decision." Ji Yanran said softly: "Even if Lu Buwei can escape from the city, he still has to die in the end. Brother Xu, don't lose your chance." Xiao Yuetan said indifferently: "I am Xiao Yuetan, Brother Xu must have heard my name before!" Xu Shang looked at Xiao Yuetan in amazement and said, "Didn't you die early?" Xiao Yuetan said fiercely: "If you don't cheat death, how can Lu Buwei let me go? Do you think Lu Buwei really thinks highly of you? Whoever becomes Lu Buwei's subordinate is just his pawn and can be discarded and killed at any time, do you understand? ?” Xu Shang finally gave in and said, "Father Zhong has a secret entrance in the bedroom, which leads to a big house on 'Baitong Street' in the south of the city. That's all I know." Xiang Shaolong stood up vigorously, and the time to kill Lu Buwei, his great enemy, finally arrived after nearly ten years of waiting. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Xiang Shaolong and others circled around the exit of the secret passage, all puzzled. When Tuxian led Jing Jun, Teng Yi and others into Zhongfu's mansion two hours ago, the mansion was filled with people who had been anesthetized, but Lu Xiawei could not be found, so naturally they escaped through the secret passage. The problem is that no report has been received about Lu Buwei leaving the city. Does he still dare to hide in the city? This is really unreasonable. Jing Jun said: "Let's search the whole city to see where he can hide?" Tu Xian said: "We might as well search this empty house first, if my prediction is correct, this house must have another secret passage, which can lead to a residence or warehouse near the city wall, there should be another secret passage out of the city. " Teng Yi waved his hand to signal, and all his subordinates hurriedly took action. Ji Yanran sighed: "If that's the case, we can say that we missed the game this time because of the sentry posts outside the city, we only pay attention to the main entrances and exits of a few city gates." Xiao Yuetan said: "Lu thief must be reluctant to part with jewelry and valuables. Walking through the tunnel is farther than walking on the road. Why don't we just bet on him, betting that he has left the tunnel and fled to the border by land, because Xianyang's waterway Traffic is in the palm of our hands." Xiang Shaolong ordered decisively: "There is no need to search, we will leave the city immediately." Xiang Shaolong and the others, together with more than 200 warriors from the Wu family, left the city at full speed on Qingqi.Looking in the direction of Zhao Jing, he found footprints outside the city in a short while, some of which were particularly deep, and it was obvious that he had carried a heavy load. Everyone was very excited. But Jing Jun frowned and said: "Just looking at the footprints, the opponent has more than two thousand people, and their strength is far superior to ours." Teng Yi smiled and said: "The escaped people are not so brave, and there must be women and children among them, why should we be afraid." Xiang Shaolong said solemnly: "There are many generals in Lu's family who are experts. If we chase after us, they will hear the sound of hoofbeats and tell us whether we are true or not. They will definitely turn around and fight. Although we may not be defeated, casualties are inevitable, so Not the best policy." Ji Yanran said: "If we can predict the escape route of Lu Thief, and ride a light horse to ambush him one step ahead, we can give Lu Thief a head-on blow, and don't let the other party know that we are few, then we will be more confident. gone." Tu Xian knew Lu Buwei's situation best, and said: "According to the direction of the footprints, they should have fled to Wuchang, a big town downstream, and the guard there is his confidant. How far can you escape with your feet?" Teng Yi said happily: "On the way to Wuchang, there is a place called Kuangfeng Gorge. It is the only way to go there. Even if we take a detour with horsepower, we can reach this place in two hours at most. If we don't, we can go there. Wait there for Father Zhong’s arrival!" Xiang Shaolong laughed loudly and said, "Whatever the cause is sown, the fruit will be reaped. If Master Tu hadn't taken care of old thief Lu this time, I would have lost all my achievements." Tuxian said with a smile: "Where is it, General Teng, please lead the army first." With high morale, more than two hundred riders went like a whirlwind.
