Xiang Shaolong and Lord Longyang rode out together out of the city, protected front and back by high skilled bodyguards
After receiving the news that Xiang Shaolong was about to arrive in Handan, the athtly drastring, forcing everyone not to be able to take a breather
Even though everyone was itching for a fight, seely very confident, but everyone was afraid that they will be one of the unlucky ones
From this it could be seen that he had built a God-like reputation, no one dared to underestimate him
Lord Longyang brought his horse nearer to hi Shan?”
Xiang Shaolong secretly co observant
During this dangerous warring period, everyone was always vigilant If it was any other influential officials, if they had so Yi, they would want him close by to protect the went out without hi out of the ordinary
He s city So with all the exciteht without someone to accompany me”
Lord Longyang was only asking out of curiosity and not because of so as number one rival in love He has eous”
Xiang Shaolong was confused, “My Lord, why do you say this?”
Lord Longyang s Shaolong Oh! Maybe, Yanran, herself, hasn’t realised The expression on her eyes when she’s looking at Shaolong co at others is totally different Maybe at that time, she hadn’t realised yet that she had fallen in love with Xiang Shaolong, but I had known for sure”
Xiang Shaolong’s heart tre is definitely someone with sharp observation skill If he’s not careful, he ht tip of his eyebrow He runted, “I don’t believe that Ji Yanran and Xiang Shaolong didn’t already have a secret agree as we observed Ji Yanran closely, we can surely lure Xiang Shaolong out”
Xiang Shaolong frowned, “Didn’t you also want to take care of Learned Lady Ji?”
Lord Longyang sighed, “I have always viewed her as an irreplaceable friend She fell in love with Xiang Shaolong is a natural thing Mister Dong hasn’t yet seen Xiang Shaolong, he is soardless of his style of conversation, insight, heart or spirit, they are all distinctive ast us I, myself, would like to be his friend, if eren’t already standing on the opposite grounds as enemies But now, I have to find any way to assassinate hiht be”
Xiang Shaolong intentionally probed hih I know that I don’t have an ounce of hope of attaining Learned Lady Ji, but I felt that she has high regard ofto your observation, how does it co Shaolong?”
Lord Longyang nodded, “She truly regards you highly That’s for sure The problem is she is a once and one type of person, unlike that pro her heart first, you and Li Yuan would be better off to forget about her”
Xiang Shaolong laughed, “The situation doesn’t seem hopeless yet We have so Shaolong We can already count down the days that he stayed alive At that ti for another person?”
Lord Longyang smiled bitterly, “The fact has proven that everyone who underestiround No , I still believe that Xiang Shaolong would have ingenious plan to sneak into Handan With the craftiness of both Lu Buwei and Xiang Shaolong, how could they have leaked their whereabouts to the other hostile party in Qin, there must be some trap in there”
Xiang Shaolong trembled in fear
He started to realise that this Lord Longyang isn’t a si’s formidable adversary
Ast all of the countries’ influential politicians here in Handan, beside the heavyweight class Tian Dan, Lord Longyang also needed to be counted in
But his weakness is: Hey! It seems like he has fallen in love with hi Shaolong’s good favour Oh my God! This is such a complete mess Such complicated situation!
At that tiovernment road towards the Hidden Army Valley, surrounded from both sides with tall mountains in the open countries in the autumn weather, ithered and fallen leaves
Lord Longyang’s underlings were all see and stretching theirwas quiet without a word, knew that he was pondering his words previously, joyfully continued, “Xiang Shaolong has three i As long as Xiang Shaolong is alive, I am afraid that these three people wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully”
Xiang Shaolong was suddenly filled with uneasy feelings This was called a soldier’s alertness It didn’t need a factual proof for a reason
This tie towards the Hidden Army Valley Both sides were surrounded with dense thick forest If there was an ambush, this would be the idealist place for it
Xiang Shaolong swiftly stopped his horse
Lord Longyang continued for another ten orit and looked back, filled with confusion, “Is there a problem, Mister?”
When the rest noticed that Lord Longyang had stopped his horse, they all followed his lead
Xiang Shaolong continued gazing towards the entrance of the narrow gorge, frowned, “Have you and Xiang Shaolong ever celebrate a festival before?”
Lord Longyang was slightly surprised, turned his horse’s head to follow his gaze towards the narrow gorge, ordered his underlings, “Go open the road for st the croards the narrow gorge
Those persons’ shi+elds were all hanging on the side of their horses Apparently, they didn’t believe that there would be so to ambush them
Xiang Shaolong was also extre? Could it that he’s being overly cautious, raising a false alarm?
Lord Longyang relaxed a little as he saw his underlings entered the gorge, s came to take care ofOtherwise, hoould he know that I will go to the Hidden Ar by the minute
After exercising theto the Mohist Addendum, his sixth sense had becoerous situations, otherwise he
Even though the autu low in the sky, but he could feel the chill in the air
Lord Longyang shouted, “Have you clearly thought about what I told you before, Mister Dong?”
Xiang Shaolong felt a headache cos haven’t co sounds could be heard One of his fae, waved froht
Xiang Shaolong was e overly suspicious
On the contrary, Lord Longyang consoled hi alertness!”
Everyone continued riding towards the gorge
Lord Longyang spoke in his soft and sweet tone, “Mister, have you ever ponder over our current war and what you would do to establish a long-lasting career for yourself?”
Xiang Shaolong was amazed at his craftiness This person definitely has a sharp intelligence, so in this period He had seen that he’s not the type of person who’d be happy raising horses his whole life That’s why he uttered these words
When they were about 100 steps froain But he could only indistinctly catch a blurry shadow and nothing concrete
He casually replied, “Besides rearing horses, I know nothing about the art of war Just based on fierceness, how could I lead the three arh the desert?”
Lord Longyang s at how you’ve been trained and that you have no fear of death, I know that you have the talent to be a fanored you”
Now, they were about 50 uards had started to enter the gorge
An idea suddenly flashed through Xiang Shaolong’s mind He whipped his horse and shouted, “Quick! Turn around!” Now he realised the reason for his uneasiness
Lord Longyang’s underling that passed the safe signal before quickly returned the gorge after signalling It just didn’t ’s personal bodyguards As a reconnaissance teae, along with all of the strategic points inside the gorge until Lord Longyang passed through before withdrawing their position Otherwise, if the enemies ambush from the entrance and the exit, wouldn’t they be surrounded and died inside? Xiang Shaolong also wasn’t basing this fro alone but because he had been on guard the whole ti on a theerous zone That’s why he quickly rushed back in
This tiuards all frowned at hi too extremely cautious
The front guards ignored his warning and kept on riding into the entrance
Lord Longyang forcefully reined in his horse to be polite As he was about to speak, a tragic screae
Everyone’s face paled Suddenly, a streae, each one of the theroup of 10 or more soldiers jumped off their horse and prepared a frontline defence
At the sa shouts could be from all four corners
From both sides of the dense forest, the enemies flowed out In an instant, enemies could be seen everywhere
All of these people dressed as common people As far as the eyes could see, therepersonal guards, even though they were elite soldiers who have experienced hundred battles, but there were uard against Without any time to prepare, they’ve been ambushed and were now in complete disarray
Xiang Shaolong ducked down and avoided two arrows but froh and the horse reared up
He didn’t even get a chance to see where his horse had been shot, both feet fiercely kicked off, forcing him to lean sideways and fell off the saddle He leaped across towards Lord Longyang, held on his waist and leaped off the horse Both fell on the bushes on the side of the road Lord Longyang’s saddle had long fallen off the horse, it was filled with arrows
Lord Longyang was the eneoal
