Xiang Shaolong put Zhao Ya’s issue aside and asked: “Except for Tian Dan, Li Yuan and General Pang, who are the other representatives?”
Lord Longyang disclosed: “Prince Dan represents the state of Yan and your old friend Han Chuang is here Everyone is eager to collaborate with Lu Buwei and you better watch your back They dare not do anything in Xianyang City but if Lu Buwei sends you out of Qin, there will be people trying to kill you”

By the tihteen Guardians reached her place, it was nightfall, adding to the aot seated at the siin to serve tea Second Uncle Fang, the housekeeper, brought Xiang Shaolong, Teng Yi and Jing Jun into the inner hall
Jing Jun was elated that his beauty treats hi is disappointed that this visit has nothing to do with their personal romance
Men are like that Even if they are not interested, they would notas it is trouble-free
Still in herhas a serious expression on her face She greeted them and sat down in the host’s seat
Upon knowing that they have not taken their dinner, she instructed her maids to serve cakes to them and the Guardians
Xiang Shaolong and his men did not hold back their appetites andJun is full of praise for them
Noticing her furrowed brows, Xiang Shaolong could not help but ask: “Why is Grand Tutor Qin looking for me?”
Qin Qing faintly sighed: “Ihas happened today that I don’t feel good about”
The threetheir cakes down, they stared at her
Qin Qing is uncoht at her, especially Jing Jun’s shi+fty eyes Lowering her head, she described: “I went to the royal te’s altar When I was about to leave, I aylaid by Preuest-advisor Lao Ai”
The three rew heavy as well
Jing Jun was incensed: “How daring! I must teach him a lesson Who cares where is he from”
Teng Yi questioned: “Doesn’t Grand Tutor Qin have any warriors escorting you?”
Qin Qing responded: “Not only do I have warriors escorting me; even the two Premiers are at the Royal Temple When they heard my cries, they ran out”
Jing Jun coldly smiled: “Now Lu Buwei is in trouble!”
Teng Yi kicked him under the table

Bewildered, Qin Qing asked: “How did you know?”
Teng Yi and Jing are eventhe entire day If there is anything he has seen or heard, they should seen it or heard it as well
Even if Philosopher shi+ is reborn, he ’ Lao Ai in such a manner
Xiang Shaolong was in a fix, knowing that he has a slip of the tongue and revealed Heaven’s Secret No matter how he tries to explain, no one will believe that he is that lucky
Qin Qing had thought that Xiang Shaolong has spies in the palace who told hi Yi and Jing Jun, she had a big shock and interrogated with disbelief: “Grand Tutor Xiang only uess?”
Xiang Shaolong conificant and sighed: “This is quite easy to predict Lu Buwei’s top priority is to get E City, there is no one who knows her weakness better than hiest pawn He will make Lao Ai a fake eunuch and let hi, we are way inferior compared to Lu Buwei”
Teng Yi and Jing Jun began to see so God-like prediction
Qin Qing stared viciously at Xiang Shaolong After so ti about this matter before I reach this conclusion Before I could finish speaking, Grand Tutor Xiang knows everything as if he is also present as well I think Grand Tutor’s intelligence is sky-high and the inferior Lu Buwei is therefore jealous of you”
Xiang Shaolong was feeling guilty and worried at the same time
