Book 10 Chapter 2 - Complicated Situation
Inside the carriage, Zhao Ya curled up inside Xiang Shaolong’s embrace, extremely sorrowful over her loss
Xiang Shaolong rubbed her shoulder and softly whispered, “Keep up your spirit! A dead person can’t return back to life We can only use our grief as strength to eers”
Zhao Ya twitched, “They all died tragically We couldn’t even recognize their faces Who would actually dare to collaborate with these murderers? How did they even know the secret path to the palace?”
Xiang Shaolong’s heart treated properly, even E would be i to Zhao Ya clearly, with her wisdo to her all along So, he explained Han Chuang’s role in this incident
Zhao Ya was filled with hatred, dissatisfied, “How could you let go of Han Chuang?”
Looking at her filled with hatred and fury, Xiang Shaolong started to have a headache, sighed, “I also have no alternative This incidentIn our current circue towards Zhao If the relation between Han and Zhao worsen, it would only provide advantages to Tian Dan and Li Yuan Ya’er, can you understand et that I promised you to help your brother to tide over this crisis!”
After this reasoning, it’s hard for Zhao Ya to pursue it further, lying back down onto his e, I hate my Brother Besides himself and his personal interest, he doesn’t care about anybody else”
Xiang Shaolong secretly sighed At the end of it, everyone who becomes the Emperor will become like this
Absolute poill corrupt anyone
When he thought about this, he couldn’t help but consider Xiao Pan, the future Qin shi+ Huang Just thinking about it brought about intense feeling of dread
Handan had just passed a quiet but not so quiet
Lord Xinling’s underlings had all been executed Everyone in the city was shaken This has brought Xiang Shaolong’s prestige as the new City Coht
The following few days, Xiang Shaolong and the rest were busy They have put in place several new preventivea way to capture Zhao Mu back to Xianyang in order to complete this mission
With Guo Kai persuasion, Cheng Xu was released and allowed to resuinal post Both were now even more envious of him At the sa even after knowing of Xiang Shaolong’s plot
Because of Lord Xinling’s incident, both Tian Dan and Li Yuan tried to keep a low profile, not allowing anyone to guess what they are doing
Han Chuang tried even harder to avoid suspicions, rarely went out for anything Evento allow Tian Zhen and Tian Feng to acco of this headache
Lord Longyang decided to return to Daliang Xiao Cheng decided on a day inside the palace to organize a banquet in order to send off Lord Longyang
On theof three days before the farewell banquet, Zhao Mu sent so
Xiang Shaolong knehat it is all about, left whatever he’s doing and went to Marquis resident to see Zhao Mu
This traitor invited him in to the secret roo I can i in neutral ground undecided”
Xiang Shaolong replied, “Quickly give me the names of these undecided people so that I et rid off”
Zhao Mu pulled out a letter froleefully s the same line Look! I have prepared it already”
Xiang Shaolong looked at it closely and only saw ly ritten aenerals inside the city
Xiang Shaolong was astonished, “Isn’t Cheng Xu Guo Kai’s underling? How could he appear on this list? Could it be…?”
Zhao Mu’s eyes glinted ildness briefly, “If it wasn’t for ht to be Palace Co is unhappy with hiet rid off him”
With these words, Xiang Shaolong instantly understood that Cheng Xu is definitely not his underling He only wants to borrow so onto Cheng Xu’s current position
Froest opportunity to be the next Palace Commander would probably be Zhao Mu’s man
Zhao Mu s to lose!”
Then he went silent, “Xiao Cheng truly summoned Li Mu to return to the city The 20,000 thousands elite soldiers under his command are on the way here They will arrive in Handan in 7 days H about his death because Xiao Cheng doesn’t have that many days to live”
Xiang Shaolong secretly rejoiced He knew that Zhao Mu had decided on a plan to usurp the throne Pretending to be excited, “I have also prepared everything Marquis, when have you decided to act?”
Zhao Mu was shi+vering in excitely scar on his face and both his eyes were flashi+ng in exciteyang’s farewell banquet Every enerals will all be inside the palace That would be the perfect time to act”
This ti was confused, “But that would be when the security inside the palace would be h, where is the opportunity in there?”
Zhao Mu sanise those Generals who to move into the palace and replaced them with our people, then the city will fall under my hands Under those circumstances, would Handan then be like a n to oppress and exploit”
Xiang Shaolong replied in a heavy voice, “Could Marquis explain it better for me?”
Zhao Mu nodded, “Our helping hand is that thief, Xiang Shaolong I will organize someone to leave a mark that he has arrived inside the city By that tihtened Xiao Cheng will force you to track him down You can use that as an excuse to move about and blockade the palace On the other side, you can open wide the gate to allow Tian Dan’s army to enter the city By then, ould be afraid of the trivial 10,000 palace guards, even more so when I have my own people inside too?”
Xiang Shaolong frowned, “Isn’t this too forceful? It seeht discrepancy between this and what Marquis had originally planned for?” Continuing in a soft voice, “Can you really trust the Qi?”
Zhao Mu was slightly displeased, “Regarding this, I haveas you can attain Handan’s military power and follow ’s time to return to heaven The rest you don’t need to worry about Afterwards, I guarantee that not only you’ll become the three army commander in chief, wealth and rank will be yours to enjoy”
Xiang Shaolong knew that the situation won’t be as simple as he described but he knew that if he continues to pursue this line of questioning, it will raise his suspicions After agreeing to his request, he took his leave and i Zhao
Inside the palace, Xiang Shaolong on seeing Xiao Cheng, was afraid that there nal Xiao Cheng agreed and led hi fro’s report, he sighed, “Until today, I just realized the loyalty and importance of both Li Mu and Lian Po towards this Zhao After eli’s help, and also Li Mu and Lian Po, I aain In addition, we also have Lu Gong Secret Manual Unifying the whole country is just aneed to work hard this tiet your hardwork”
With a person like Xiao Cheng spouting these words is an equivalent of actually confiding in hi can truly be what he proain But listening to this heartfelt confession, Xiang Shaolong for whatever reason felt an inauspicious feeling His heart felt really unco’s nor
Looking at Xiao Cheng’s pale face, Xiang Shaolong replied in a heavy voice, “If the city’s commander post is vacant, ould you choose as a replacement?”
