Book 9 Chapter 05 – Stealing the bell while covering the ears
Xiang Shaolong had yet to turn back to his residence when Zhao Ya’s carriage passed Han Chuang’s carriage and entered the driveway
Xiang Shaolong sighed and approached her carriage, opening the door personally
Zhao Ya siet up and start walking?” Flexing his limbs, he escorted her into the hall and answered: “If I continue to stay in bed, I will be bored to death”
Zhao Ya jested: “You are healthier than Lord Longyang He is still bedridden He probably needs another 10 odd days before he recovers completely”
She continued in a low voice: “What did Han Chuang say to you?” Xiang Shaolong did not want her to run into Shan Rou and Zhao Zhi and led her to the east guestroo That lecher saw the twin sisters I had and wanted to borrow theht I turned him away instead Humph! So what if he is unhappy, I hate this kind of perverts”
His words are half true It is true that Han Chuang did have that intention It is untrue as it is not his actual uish the truth and nodded in agree
Xiang Shaolong was guilt-ridden Seriously speaking, he is not better off than Han Chuang He is also the one who snatched the Tian sisters from Zhao Mu The only difference is that they followed hily!
Out of a sudden, Zhao Ya grabbed his ararden As they walked to the pond at the centre of the garden, she whispered: “What is the relationshi+p between Zhao Mu and you? Why did he take special care of you? Why did he look for you so early todaythat she is working for King Xiaocheng, he shrugged his shoulders and insisted: “You ask me; I ask who? I have no need to explain to anyone why soive a [email protected]/ /”
They reached the poolside and Zhao Ya dragged hi: “I love to see your angry look; it is like watching a stubborn child”
Xiang Shaolong pretended to be upset but was very inti at Zhao Mu (during Tian Dan’s dinner) could not escape her eyes He wonders if she has reported this to King Xiaocheng
Zhao Ya innocently leaned on hi of herbal s my nose!”
Xiang Shaolong rudely shot: “nobody asked you to follow me!”
Zhao Ya laughed like a blosso herself
Xiang Shaolong was curious: “Your old flame entered the city to commit murder and you can still be carefree and unbothered Just what in the world is going on?” Zhao Ya smoothly picked a yellow leaf frorant than you”
Stunned, Xiang Shaolong deaze floated over Batting her eye, she replied: “Your voice is so special and full of character I cannot stop listening even if I want to” Followed by a giggle, she chuckled: “Dong Horse Fanatic is just like the others, thinking that it is Xiang Shaolong who did the killings The ignorant cannot be blauess blindly”
Xiang Shaolong was laughing to hi: “Who else can it be that hates Le Cheng so much that he must kill him?”
Zhao Ya leaned even closer with half of her enticing chest resting on his arm She threw the leaf into the river and looked up to the moon and spoke softly: “Must you hate so’s killer, youAi! Didn’t you know that I ahed: “You are really concerned about me? I think you areShaolong”
Zhao Ya’s face reddened and cooed: “I ah? Tell me quick”
Xiang Shaolong was mesmerized by her tireless spirit and evoked his past happy memories where they often have the usual couple’s tiff Charht
A shed; “You are always in your oorld and do not care about er and any mistake would lead to the annihilation of your entire clan I cannot protect you and you are still acting angry”
Xiang Shaolong pretended to be perplexed and replied: “He did not tell me any secrets but came to ask me more about Chu I could tell that the Marquis of Julu was troubled and I guessed he must have been traumatized by the formidable old flame of yours”
After a ht, Zhao Ya faintly said: “This et involved with Zhao Mu so I have to force it out from you”
Xiang Shaolong was delighted to know that his guess was accurate Le Cheng is a two-headed snake whose loyalty is shuffling between King Xiaocheng and Zhao Mu Both parties will suspect each other to be the mastermind
Zhao Ya reached to his ear and disclosed: “Zhao Mu is the chief suspect in Le Cheng’s death”
Xiang Shaolong feigned shock and cried: “What!?” Zhao Ya stated: “That’s all you need to know and do not ask any others by his own yardstick and er has any hesitation about this man and will not hold back anymore”
Xiang Shaolong frowned: “In this case, why didn’t King Xiaocheng seize Zhao Mu im died? Over two hundred of his best men killed or injured in the time needed to boil a cup of tea Zhao Mu did not have such capabilities and must have received assistance from someone Besides, we have no evidence and dare not act rashly The king had wanted to recall Lian Po or Li Mu but ill fall into the mastermind’s trap Ai! We are all in a dilemma”
“Oh heavens,” Xiang Shaolong told himself Even Tian Dan has been embroiled into this case Maybe Li Yuan will be iht about many effects
Thinking ahead, Xiang Shaolong acted alarmed: “Guess I better head out to the farm tomorrow and leave this place of deceit I will focus on horse-breeding and occasional pleasures of the flesh and happily live this life”
Zhao Ya whined: “If you really leave, then what is to become of me?”
Xiang Shaolong declared: “You are you; I aot to do with me? You promised to be frank and only shared little titbits of infor you for it I seriously don’t give a hoot about your infor touches, I would have thrown you out of the house and here you dare to ask me what is to become of you!”
Not only was Zhao Ya not offended, she was laughing till she nearly couldn’t catch her breath Holding her belly in pain, she asked: “Have you fulfilled your proer others Ai! Times passes fast when I am with you Too bad I still have to visit my brother in the palace Shall I co moaned: “If you want my wounds to reopen and bleed, then co blood to accompany the jade beauty”
Zhao Ya cried: “You rejectedstarted to undress and hissed: “If you don’t believe, feel free to check out my body”
Zhao Ya laughingly helped him up and exclaimed: “I take my hat off you! Not an inch of shao off Can you sendled her back to the east rooh the corridor and back to the courtyard
Zhao Ya was in great spirits and began to hu used to hear from her frequently
Xiang Shaolong could not endure and asked: “Why is Princess exceedingly happy tonight?” Zhao Ya’s complexion suddenly darkened and she lowered her head in silence Until she reached the external ground and boarded her carriage did she held onto theand waved to hiht of suicide on many occasions but that will only benefit Zhao Mu I had also hoped to be able to do so, how can I not be delighted?” Xiang Shaolong could feel his hostility reducing and hisher lead, he asked: “If Zhao Mu is dead, what are your plans?” Her face becos, she said: “At first I did not knohat to do After your insolent attack yesterday, I know I have found so No one else will suffice Does Master Dong understand ’s sight
Even though the horse carriage has gone far, he is still stoned on the courtyard, tasting an indescribable sensation
Shan Rou and Jing Jun aiting in the hall Shan Rou is enthusiastically poring over aand couldn’t wait to get away
“Where are they?” Xiang Shaolong asked Shan Rou i back? I have sent them to sleep first”
With a pained expression, Jing Jun pleaded: “I did not sleep the whole day like sister; why didn’t you send lared at hio to sleep on your own and now you are bla others”
Jing Jun shot back: “Earlier, I said I wanted to sleep Who is the one who dragged ave hi shove and chimed: “Get lost! I have someone to accompany me now”
Jing Jun shook his head helplessly and gave Xiang Shaolong a look of sy like a burst of smoke
Putting aside Zhao Ya’s issue, Xiang Shaolong sat opposite Shan Rou and asked: “Letyou have done” Shan Rou was about to reopen thehis words Her al at him, she spit: “I dare you to repeat that!”
Giving in, Xiang Shaolong toned down: “My good sister Will you please allow me to admire your masterpiece that was resulted of your dedicated sweat, blood and tears?” From annoyance to joyfulness, Shan Rou laid out the map and huood at exaggeration”
Focusing on thewas quickly absorbed
It is a geographicareas The details are precise and stunning Although it is not as good as satellite pictures of the 21st Century, it is still a rare piece of work Xiang Shaolong did not expect Shan Rou to be so talented but on the other hand, this is a basic requisite of an outstanding assassin
Shan Rou was pleased that Xiang Shaolong is giving theout several key points and explaining them
Xiang Shaolong could not stop nodding his head and co the information to memory
