Having tasted the forbidden fruit, Shan Rou was , she pretended nothing has happened and brought Zhao Zhi to practise their swords for his pretty village girl and left for the far to breakfast with Xiang Shaolong
Wu Guo cashan has sent word to invite third master to his residence in the afternoon”
Xiang Shaolong was alarmed The person anted hi and not Han Chuang Otherwise, it will not be easy for Han Chuang to fix an appointment with the First Lady of Zhao
Thinking deeper, everything starts falling in place
Handan City’s generals were all split into different factions He is the only one who has yet to ally with any party If he becomes the City Co After the de, he will be her most powerful weapon
But why did she choose him?
Wu Guo saw that Xiang Shaolong was deep in thought and dared not interrupt When he was about to take his leave, Xiang Shaolong questioned: “How is the situation outside?” Wu Guo strictly reported: “It ischecks at everyhas sent out an official notice that no one is allowed to house any strangers and every inn is thoroughly searched”
Tian Zhen and Tian Feng like Wu Guo’s character Witnessing his strict reporting, they cannot help but laughed in secret While Xiang Shaolong looked away, he winked at the to their happiness
Xiang Shaolong suddenly shouted: “Wu Guo!”
Wu Guo jued
Xiang Shaolong instructed: “Send word to Talented Lady Ji that I will officially visit her in the evening and want to have dinner with her”
Wu Guo received his order and left
Full of sweat, Zhao Zhi and Shan Rou came in and sat on his two sides The Tian sisters hurriedly see to their needs
Recalling Shan Rou’s enticing figure and wild beauty, his heart sweetened and coaxed: “Aren’t the both of you going for a shower first?” Shan Rou hesitated but Zhao Zhi joyfully cory!” As she ate, she continued: “Sister Rou’s steps have slowed down and I am able to catch up”
Xiang Shaolong understood the reason for the slowing down and nearly spit his bun out
Shan Rou’s face reddened and she pinched Xiang Shaolong’s thigh fiercely under the table
Zhao Zhi was deep in thought before enlightenment shone on her face Her face then turned red and lowered her head, eating in an aard atirls under the table, he then stood up patting his sto out for a walk and exercise my muscles”
Zhao Zhi yelped: “Wait foryou to the martial school”
Xiang Shaolong joked: “Is this considered an invitation?” Zhao Zhi’s face was fiery red by now and she retorted: “Your legs are not grown onsweetly, she batted her eyelids and left
Xiang Shaolong faced the Shan Rou who is still eating and added: “We’ll wait for sister!”
Shan Rou gave a loud howl and kicked over with her leg
Xiang Shaolong avoided and sood Rou Rou Do you still think your kicks are as for out from her ears, Shan Rou picked up a bun and threw it at his face Xiang Shaolong caught the bun neatly and took a bite “Sister Rou tastes better,” he said after a short
As Shan Rou pounced up like a er, he has followed Zhao Zhi and slipped into the bath house
He spent the entireShan,” Xiang Shaolong gave the excuse that he was at the farm
As Zhao Zhi was directing fifty fe Shaolong aside and inti Xiaocheng and your name came up”
Stunned, Xiang Shaolong asked: “What?!” Zhao Ba continued in a low voice: “He wanted to hear about how you and Long Shan battled Li Yuan Naturally, I was full of praise”
Xiang Shaolong quickly gave his thanks but his heart wasin turmoil
King Xiaocheng may not be so astute to discover any suspicious points about hient Guo Kaiar of a suitable position for hi advice from Zhao’s chief Martial trainer
Fro Xiaocheng had spoken about He
For everyone’s safety, he has to win over Zhao Ya and use her to investigate Guo Kai’s schemes Anyway, Zhao Ya had deceived him before When he deceived her in return, this wanton woman can only accept her fate
After lunch, Xiang Shaolong left Zhao Zhi at the ’s residence alone
Handan City is slowly regaining its former peace but the pedestrians are much lesser He met some soldiers occasionally and everyone paid respects to hiious than his former position of Zhao’s Number One Warrior
Han Chuang’s residence is swar deduced that E has arrived even before him
Why is she so anxious about him? Maybe she has a motive and needs someone she can trust to become Handan City’s City Commander and this newcomer is the best choice
He reood ter recommends other people for the post, Zhao YaHorse Fanatic, Zhao Ya ether
After the servant’s report, Han Chuang ca to a side hall and suspiciously emphasize: “Be careful when you speak later This sister E, your City Coone”
Han Chuang continued: “On this trip to Handan City, I have another mission – which is to escort my State’s seventh Princess here touse her as an excuse to visit so there will be no loopholes”
Xiang Shaolong was aether by E the six states, Zhao and Han are on much better terms
Taking this chance, Xiang Shaolong asked about the alliance treaty Frustrated, Han Chuang cursed: “Using Yan as an excuse, Tian Dan and Li Yuan otiations These two people in cahoots are erous than Qin as far as we fro and I heavily suspect the and you Not satisfied with only his death, they wanted to kill you as well”
Xiang Shaolong was bloay With Zhao Ya’s reminder, he wasn’t as sure about his initial suspicion that Prince Xinling is the assassin Although Tian Dan wanted to recruit hi” him In times like these, talented people that you cannot recruit are better killed so as to deprive other people of utilising them
An attendant ca is ready to meet him
With Han Chuang at his side, Xiang Shaolong crossed two stairwells, a huge garden beforethe First Lady of Zhao in the inner chamber
After they paid their respects, E He retreated with all the attendants, leaving only the two of the each other across a table
Dressed in a luxurious outfit, the Zhao Queen looked even ant and attractive
Coths and it is hard to distinguish who better
Flashi+ng her eyes and scrutinizing hi knohy I set up an appoint could tell that it was herself and not Han Chuang anted hier He respectfully bowed: “Marquis has rateful for your kindness and I will do my utmost best to repay your favour”
E seemed to be unmoved by his display of loyalty She coldly asked: “There are two reasons I chose you Does Mister wish to know?” Xiang Shaolong raised his head in surprise; could it be that she was attracted to his masculinity?
Her beautiful eyes looking deeply at him, she slowly said: “The first reason is that Tian Dan looks up to you, so you cannot be incapable”
Xiang Shaolong was hit by realization Curious, he asked: “Can I knohat the other reason is?” Eh: “Because you reminded me of so and he can never be of use to me”
Xiang Shaolong was stricken The person she mentioned is naturally himself
Noticing his silence, she asked: “Doesn’t Mister want to knoho he is?” Nodding, Ehtfulness Her voice switching, she coldly asked: “What is your relationshi+p with Zhao Mu? Why did he try all ift of the Tian sisters to you instead?” Xiang Shaolong knows that this is a crucial ive an answer sied his shoulders saying: “Since I entered Handan capital, the Marquis of Julu has been showering htest idea of why he is doing that”
Glaring at him briefly, she deeply proclai and me, the Queen Any deviation will result in untold misfortunes; don’t say I did not warn you Based on Mister’s intelligence, I need not sayShaolong had to adist put herself on the sa He cannot even tell if her words are real or false
On one side, she is using Zhao Mu At the saainst him
E that is of special i disclosed: “Marquis Julu is not very fond of Li Yuan and often asked estions on how to fix him There are no other special information”
E the topic, she asked: “Does Zhao Ya often coht? What are you always so aloof towards her?”
Xiang Shaolong knows that she is asking these personal issues to test his loyalty He gave a bored sigh: “I do not like loose wohed: “I love your direct character But if you want to be the City Commander, you have to stay close to Zhao Ya Let this be my first order for you ”
Xiang Shaolong acted like he was unwilling and apologised: “Please forgive h boor but I cannot deliberately cheat on anyone If Eht to htest hesitation”
