Vol 13 Chapter 1 (2/2)
There is a strange feeling in the air
After a long while, Prince Dan let out a long sigh Standing up, he bowed and apologised: “Brother Xiang, please excuse ainst my conscience”
Xiang Shaolong hurriedly got up to return his courtesy, congratulating hiht partner If Prince Dan denied everything, he need not bother himself with this man anymore
Both ot seated and the atmosphere is much friendlier
Leng Ting’s eyes shone with appreciation and nodded: “I finally understood how General can triumph in Wei and Zhao, and even counter Lu Buwei in Qin”
You Zhi plainly state: “Does General Xiang know that killing Tian Dan isto heaven? Moreover, you should know your status as a general of Qin”
Xiang Shaolong knew that he is testing his background If he wanted to hide in Qin while asking them to kill Tian Dan, these six men will despise him
At the end of the day, this is a business deal The success of the plan is dependent on the potential benefits
Xiang Shaolong s atrocities all over the country Li Yuan used his sister Li Yan Yan to give birth to the Crown Prince If King Xiaolie dies, the newcomer Li Yuan will need to borrow Qi’s forces to counter the incumbent Lord Chunshen Tian Dan needs Li Yuan’s assistance to attack the allied states and expand his territory When fighting against Tian Dan, wethe Qinas it does not involved Lu Buwei Everyone can rest easy”
Prince Dan let out another long sigh: “I finally tasted Brother Xiang’s foreable about every state, I will not waste anyplans to solve the probleether, their strength would increase drastically When they are nearing Chu, they will be received by both their armies There is no e can intercept them We have such an intention as well but it is an impossible task”
Xiang Shaolong smiled mysteriously and official state: “Leave Li Yuan tofair, disrupting their travel plans Li Yuan has always been a selfish man If he is in deep trouble himself, he will not be bothered about Tian Dan”
Everyone was confused
Xu Yi Ze could not help but asked: “What clever sche has?”
Xiang Shaolong spontaneously replied: “Please let me keep this little secret to myself You will see results within these two days If I cannot even accomplish such a sain”
Prince Dan concluded: “Great! Xiang Shaolong is worthy of his reputation If Li Yuan leave Qin before the hunting fair, I will do my best and cooperate with you Tian Dan that traitor will not return to Qi alive!”
Xiang Shaolong had expected this agreement
Qi and Yan are neighbours and have always been irreconcilable like water and fire, eyeing each other’s territory Yan had invaded Qi but was repelled by Tian Dan, causing heavy losses to Yan Everyone in Yan hated Tian Dan to the core and would not hesitate for an opportunity to kill him
To them, Li Yuan plays a crucial role
If Li Yuan is killed too, it is equivalent to offending two states that are stronger than Yan and it is not soh about
But if they can ignore Chu’s issue and even push the bla, it will be even better
Xiang Shaolong shook hands with Prince Dan to seal their agree with the next step in his grand plan
Ever since the return fro a task with such enthusiasm
He finally kno deeply he loves Shan Rou
TheShaolong began in a deep voice: “I want to kill Tian Dan”
Lu Gong was shocked and checked: “What did you say?”
Today, this is the fifth ti he wants to kill Tian Dan First, he said it to Tian Dan, followed by Teng Yi, Lord Longyang, Prince Dan and finally to Lu Gong, the number one head of the Qin military
To openly kill an earth-shaking figure like Tian Dan is setting a new precedence in history
Full of confidence and persuasion, he explained: “This is the only way to prevent Lu Buwei fro Qin politics”
Lu Gong was puzzled: “What has this got to do with Tian Dan?”
Xiang Shaolong simply state: “The eastern states have recently attacked us but why is Qi not involved?” Lu Gong’s expression beca referring to Tian Dan and Lu Buwei’s secret collaboration?”
Xiang Shaolong positively explained: “In the past, Lu Buwei did not have any military accomplishments Now, he has conquered the three eastern provinces and solidified his position When the coht him a serious lesson, he focused on his present status and put aside any plans to n What he plans to do now is to increase his power in Qin and the Zhengguo canal is the first step in his grand plan”
Lu Gong was agitated upon hearing this
For the past two days, he hi and otheran ulteriormanpower and resources over the canal This eaken the country and interfere with plans to unite the world
Xiang Shaolong is sure that he is disturbed and egged hiue with Chu and Qi, isolating Yan and the allied states This is to safeguard his external interests and focus on internal issues He can then focus on building up his influence If he is successful, our state of Qin will land in the hands of this outsider”
His latest words have an even greater i advocate of Qin race superiority Lu Gong thought for a while and raised his head, his eyes shi+ning with energy and stared straight at Xiang Shaolong, asking in a deep voice: “Before we continue further, I need you to clear so up Why are you so certain that the Crown Prince is not Lu Buwei’s illegitimate child?”
Xiang Shaolong was secretly glad that Lu Gong is moved and therefore asked such a question If he can assure him, the discussion can continue smoothly
He sincerely looked back at him and revealed: “It is very simple I have my own suspicions as well and questioned Lu Buwei’s confidante Xiao Yuetan about this He swore that Crown Prince is indeed the late king’s flesh and blood because when Zhu Ji becaxiang”
Lu Gong frowned: “I know this man Xiao Yuetan and he is someone who should know the truth But since he is Lu Buwei’s trusted subordinate, he may continue to conceal this secret for Lu Buwei despite his own death”
Xiang Shaolong’s eyes reddened and intimately disclosed: “When Xiao Yuetan died, not only does he declare himself free from Lu Buwei’s control; he even hated Lu Buwei to the core It is all because the man who killed him is Lu Buwei”
Lu Gong was not horrific at this news Stretching out his hand, he grabbed Xiang Shaolong’s shoulder and nervously asked: “Do you have any proof of this?”
Xiang Shaolong shook his head in grief
Lu Gong released hiated this matter on our side but those who came back alive did not knohat happened Qu Dou Qi and the others have disappeared so there arewe can do to Lu Buwei When you came back and hurriedly retreated to the far is amiss”
Sighing, he added: “I believe Shaolong is telling the truth I guess we need not carry on with the blood test”
Deter shook his head: “No! The blood test must still be conducted Only this way can we fully verify that the Crown Prince is the late king’s flesh and blood”
Lu Gong stared at his Yesterday, Du Bi ca to the late king on his deathbed The late king then passed away peacefully What did Shaolong say to him?”
Xiang Shaolong is certain that Du Bi learnt about this froed: “I told the late king that if he is e him”
Of course he es to the words and purposely left Lu Buwei’s name out
Lu Gong stood up and his eyes shone with deterony, he took some ti, what can I do to help you?”
Xiang Shaolong quickly stood up to rowing day by day To stop him, we must first destroy his alliance with the outsiders If we can kill Tian Dan, it will not only help in uniting the world, it will also force Lu Buwei to spend son attacks and protect the three eastern provinces We can then slowly erode his poithin Qin”
Lu Gong shows signs of anger and grabbed Xiang Shaolong’s arht with eritted his teeth: “Why don’t we co every single person related to hi as the Crown Prince nods his head, I can accomplish this easily”
Xiang Shaolong lowered his voice, saying: “You ained the loyalty of many officials If this matter is leaked out and he strikes first, it will be disastrous and may even cause the death of Crown Prince and E will immediately vie for the throne If Qin deteriorates to such a condition and the six states adding fuel to fire, our country may be split into three factions just like in the past”
Lu Gong’s face changed colour and he softly held Xiang Shaolong’s shoulder and asked in a low voice: “Tell me how I can help you?”
Xiang Shaolong is ood as dead
