The next day when the envoy was getting ready to leave, Lady Pingyuan re Shaolong laughed secretly to hi with him Zhao Da and the other tree as well as 10 odd specially trained elite soldiers, went to pay a visit to Lady Pingyuan personally When they reached the tent, Xiang Shaolong told his yuan alone
Lady Pingyuan was still furious and she said with a frosty look, “Xiang Shaolong you’re good, you’ve injuredabout the hard kick he gave to the groin He secretly laughed to hihed instead, “I didn’t know he is Prince Shaoyuan at all in the darkness Luckily I realized in tiyuan was at a loss for words, but her anger was still unappeased so she stared at hi travels, you can go to Daliang on your own! I will only leave when he has recovered” Xiang Shaolong looked at her fiery eyes filled with hatred and sighed, “I am in a difficult position and have no choice but to put on an act in front of Zhao Qian Actually I’ve considered what Lady told o”
Lady Pingyuan was stunned for a ’s hope She eyed him for a moment before she nodded and said, “If you really have such a thought…” Xiang Shaolong interrupted her, “But what Prince Shaoyuan did last night was obviously done with your approval, and this has aroused yuan im Shaolong seemed to foretell her plan, which she was so confident of and spoil it, she has started fearing him and has no idea how she should deal with this man
Her instinctive reaction was to lower her eyes Xiang Shaolong saw that she did not try to deny and knows that she is now confused by his forcefulness Heclosely at her tired yet pretty face and said with a s? At least you should letso close to her and she lifted her head, her face frosty as she said, “Are you trying to be rude tosaid calmly, “I just have a secret to tell Lady, but I do not know if Lady is interested in hearing it” Lady Pingyuan was thrown off guard and she asked, “What is it?” Xiang Shaolong moved his lips closer, so close that it was only inches away from her, and deliberately pretended to be mysterious as he said, “I don’t know if it was Zhao Mu who leaked out news, but a few groups of horse thieves including Hui Hu are waiting within Wei’s border for us, and I heard that Lady is one of their targets”
Lady Pingyuan’s face turned pale and she exclaiht face, “I, Xiang Shaolong, can swear to heaven, if I speak a word of falsehood, then let ht that people of this era is not like those in the 21st century, they will not give their vows so easily and now he is witnessing the yuan did not suspect his words as expected She rolled her eyes for a while before she asked weakly, “Is Hui Hu really part of it?” By now Xiang Shaolong is absolutely sure that Hui Hu is the King of Wei’s yuan knows this secret, all the ht, hisit and said, “The neas relayed to me by the spies the Wu family planted in Wei They even said theof Wei himself”
Lady Pingyuan furrowed her brows and said, “Can you sit a little further away to talk?” Xiang Shaolong saw that although she looked irritated, her pretty face was blushi+ng and her breathing was faster and knows she’s feeling confused whether to reject or welcoh and was even ht to himself, since you can be unscrupulous towards ently kissed her rounded ear lobes Lady Pingyuan’s dainty body shook, and was about to repriinal position, hisat her deeply Her heart i, and the reprimand she was about to utter stuck in her throat
What is happening? This person injured her son and outraged her ht of this, her face burned and she lowered her face and said quietly, “Fine! We will leave with you”
When Xiang Shaolong returned to his troops ere all packed and ready to leave, he added Wu Zhuo’s 100his control These 100 family warriors ell built and alert, and with one look anyone can tell that they’re elite fighters Cheng Xu who has been nervous and apprehensive all this while seems to have been finally reassured, and his s set the trap last night as if he could predict Prince Shaoyuan’s evil plot, and this has raised hist the soldiers While waiting for Lady Pingyuan’sXu and Zha Yuanyu went to a nearby hill to look at the
Wu Zhuo is very faraphy of Wei and he said, “Froyin, we have official roads which we can travel on In the past the Weis set up gantries and carounds as well But according to our scout, not only are the gantries le Wei to ask around” Xiang Shaolong thought to hi of Wei really intends to send someone to attack him, he will not want to do it too far away from the Zhao border so that he will be able to push all the blame and say that the thieves went after them from the Zhao border Especially when Hui Hu has a personal feud with Xiang Shaolong, so this excuse can be used to shut the Zhaos up and at the sa Hai! All those in power in this era are all conniving people But he thought about the politicians in the 21st century and felt thatXu pointed at the river, which forked froyin and said, “After we past the river, there’s another official road that goes fro, next to the Yellow River If ere to travel there instead, won’t the horse thieves be least expecting that?”
Xiang Shaolong said somberly, “If I’m the horse thief, I will certainly launch an attack while you are crossing the river They caht is predictable” The other 3 were du rivers, there’s no way to defend oneself on the river as the boats are totally exposed to the enemy’s catapults, and it’ll be a perfect opportunity for the horse thieves to attack Xiang Shaolong is a soldier ent through vigorous training and after thinking for a while, he said decidedly, “No matter which official road we choose, ill still fall into the eney is conserved while waiting for us but ill be tired froe and make the enemy tired instead That’s the only e can ith our fewer nu with confidence, “Noe’ll still travel south on the official roads but ill not cross the river e co the water until we reach the inlets This is certainly not within the enemy’s expectations and they will have to co while we set up careatly increase our chances of winning”
Zha Yuanyu commented, “But that is not an easy route to travel on…” Wu Zhuo interrupted hi as we can keep our lives, ill be able to overcoreed, “That’s decided then! We’ll increase the number of scouts ill keep a lookout on the front, back, left and right of the group I’d rather travel slowly than to fall into a trap”
After the decision wasShaolong personally chose a team of fit soldiers to be the scouts and they were separated into 5 in each teaht, a total of 8 tearoup once it’s safe By dusk, they’re only a day’s journey away froround that is easy to defend but difficult to be attacked against to set up caht so he took the opportunity to hide in the tent and have a good sleep When he woke up the surroundings were in total darkness Beneath the blanket he sniffed a fragrance and felt a soft body He lit his laainst hilare fro It’ll be terrible if there’s an enehed, “Are you the enemy?” He felt refreshed but extremely famished, before he reme and laughed as she got up, “I came especially to send you your dinner, hai! It’s all cold now”
Xiang Shaolong’s reatly improved and allowed this beauty who has always been served by others to serve him as he dine By the ti They continued on the journey, following the official road down south towards the river, with lolling hills and woods surrounding theyuan beca her and her injured son traveled closely behind Zhao Qian’s group while their 200 faht at the back
Ever since the conversation thathas not spoken to this veno of any nefarious plot again When he went past Zhao Qian’s carriage, the pretty Zhao princess lifted up the curtain and called out daintily, “Xiang Shaolong!” Ever since they left Handan, this is the first ti was surprised He slowed his horse down and traveled alongside the carriage He looked at her bright and pretty eyes and asked, “Princess, what instructions do you have!” Zhao Qian boldly looked at hi Shaolong! I’rateful to you, but I hate you as well” She lowered the curtain as soon as she said this, cutting off his direct and greedy gaze
