Book 9 Chapter 02 – Faking injury
While the Tian sisters and Shan Rou were frantically dressing the wounds on Xiang Shaolong, he had a brainwave To Wu Guo he inquired: “If there any where to ive others the iet up! ” Scratching his head for a while, the iuise you like a corpse and scare the he11 out of everyone who sees you”
Tian Zhen and Tian Feng could not hold their giggles
Xiang Shaolong explored: “That is not enough It is best to h fever all over my body”
Tian Feng chuckled: “Leave this to us sisters Just hide heat pads under the blanket”
Shan Rou and Wu Guo looked at each other before they both turned to him They cannot comprehend what tricks is he up to?
Xiang Shaolong commanded Wu Guo: “At dawn, send so Brother and Little Jun back with half of our forces At the sa someone to see me immediately ”
He then taught him how to liaise with Pu Bu
Knowing that Xiang Shaolong is going into action, Wu Guo left happily The Tian sisters started working on the heat pad Shan Rou sat by the bed and personally applied a layer of white powder on histo tell ’shis head, he protested: “This 5ucks If someone touches my face, their hands will be stained by the powder and everyone will know that I a my injuries ”
Paying no heed to his words, Shan Rou left the room and caative manner, she demanded: “This is not my problem Quickly tell me your plans Otherwise, I will not display my best skill and help you to fake your injuries”
Xiang Shaolong bitterly laughed: “Work on the injuries first If delayed and I have visitors, the scheme will fall apart”
Pouting, Shan Rou held her obvious anger and produced several bottles of different sizes from her haversack She poured liquids from them and started to mix them in a separate basin
Xiang Shaolong reached out his hand and caressed her elastic and ss Shan Rou exclaimed: “I want to kill a man! But I cannot disclose who he is yet!” Shan Rou’s slender body treazed towards him
The sky has yet to brighten when King Xiaocheng descended upon his residence with his entourage Seeing his corpse-like look and with a te was terrified He cried: “Subject Dong! They had said your injuries are not serious This won’t do! I must summon the Imperial Physician to attend to you”
Now, it is Xiang Shaolong’s turn to be shocked In a hoarse voice, he frantically replied: “I aht a bad chill when I fell into the river and lost a lot of blood to end up in this state I will need only a few days rest to get back to my feet Moreover, I have subordinates who are well-versed in e the medication, I am afraid of side effects Ai!”
He pretended to cry out and even showed his blood-stained blanket and his open wound on the shoulder
King Xiaocheng was a Thinking for a while, his eyes turned ferocious and interrogated: “Did you catch a gli his head, he added: “I was not thinking clearly and have forgotten that you have never seen this traitor”
Xiang Shaolong was tickled
After a moment a silence, he praised: “On this fateful trip, it is all thanks to Subject Dong protection of Lord Longyang or he will surely lose his life If he died, how a Anli? And the hope of an alliance treaty will also go up in smoke”
Xiang Shaolong could only smile sourly
He originally came to Handan to kill but under the unique circuht now, even he does not believe that he is Xiang Shaolong, much less others
He purposely investigates: “Your Majesty has probably visited Lord Longyang; did he say that he saw Xiang Shaolong?” King Xiaocheng shook his head and replied: “Lord Longyang is almost as badly injured as you His spirits are very low and he refuses to say anything But except for Xiang Shaolong, no one is that powerful And only he can access information in Handan from spies Now that he is the ba5tard of Qin, he would naturally fight against the five other states” Sensing his tone, Xiang Shaolong recognized that King Xiaocheng does not consider the State of Yan to be an ally or an equal He deduced that Zhao King has not succumbed to the pressures of Li Yuan and Tian Dan
King Xiaocheng can see that Xiang Shaolong has difficulties opening his eyes Patting his feverish shoulder, he pro please rest well I will send some rare medicine for external injuries”
Standing up, he continued: “Your abilities are not liive you more responsibilities in the future”
After King Xiaocheng left, Xiang Shaolong could not hold back his exhaustion and truly fell into deep slumber In his sleep, he can sense human activity and visitors to his bedside Wu Guo is always present and naturally described his injuries in detail and exaggerating so The heavy s” open wound is sufficient to paint a bleak picture
At the appointed time, Pu Bu arrived
Xiang Shaolong was in high spirits and they had a good talk The attendant reported that Zhao Ya is here to visit him and Pu Bu hurriedly left from the back door
Zhao Yaforehead Startled, she withdrew her hand and exclaimed: “You are sick!”
Opening his eyes by half, Xiang Shaolong replied: “It’s ok! I will be fine after two days of sleep!”
Scrutinising his coy in your eyes Otherwise, it would be disastrous”
Xiang Shaolong was shaken, knowing that Zhao Ya had seen the only loophole Fortunately, she had yet to raise any suspicions He was puzzled at her cal reappearance” and tested: “See came to Handan earlier; or else your old ht him” Zhao Ya cocked her head and softly analyzed: “The assassination of Lord Longyang can be master but it will never be Xiang Shaolong I know him too well Unless it is his sworn ene did not have any enmity with hiless act”
Xiang Shaolong is astonished at Zhao Ya’s attention to such ain in hioodand Zhao Mu to harm him?
Xiang Shaolong has suspected it was Prince Xinling’s assassination plot but after Zhao Ya’s explanation, he started to waver on his earlier conclusions
Zhao Mu is definitely out of the picture Li Yuan and Tian Dan are the le in Wei is the Wei King and Lord Longyang versus Prince Xinling In addition, Lord Longyang is the heir to Anli (Wei King) If anything befalls hiht him to death
When Wei descends into chaos, the main beneficiaries are Qi and Chu who are opposed to the three-state ally
Now that Qin is disunited and are not preparing any offensive cans, this is the best tiths
Re Shaolong ” Zhao Ya factually countered: “Prince Xinling could not wait to tear Xiang Shaolong apart and drink his fresh blood Xiang Shaolong is also someone ill not bow to his command How can there be such a possibility?”
Xiang Shaolong pretended to be surprised and asked: “What event has caused this enmity?” Craftily, Zhao Ya whispered: “This is a secret Mister has yet to fulfil his obligation Once you succeed, I will tell you everything I know”
Xiang Shaolong was hopping mad but was touched by her appreciation He closed his eye and sighed: “I a tired Thank you Princess for your care and concern”
Zhao Ya did not want to leave after such a short visit She stood up reluctantly but leaned forward towards Xiang Shaolong She lowered her petite head and kissed hi out
Xiang Shaolong is afraid she ed his style and attacked her flexible tongue roughly He used a lot of force and grabbed her breasts wildly
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya did notwith him lustfully
As things are getting out of hand, Zhao Ya aggressively retreated Red-faced, she shrieked: “No! You cannot lose control now” Giving him a look, promised: “Once you are well, I will let you do whatever you want to me!”
