Lu Buwei insisted on sending Xiang Shaolong home Resistance is futile and he joined hie
His carriage drove past the almost completed new Pre fair, I willCity But Mister Zou shui willPalace Ha! That is the same time as the Crown Prince coronation What a coincidence!”
Xiang Shaolong knew nuts about Fengshui and acted according to his knowledge of history Upon hearing this news, he was in shock and dare not belittle Zou Yan the astrologer and philosopher
Lu Buwei stretched lazily and sood luck, I can accos!”
Xiang Shaolong was full of admiration Lu Buwei had just been defeated but he is truly not bothered Like a shrewd business out this once as he has otherback
Lu Buwei suddenly hugged his shoulder inti except a good son-in-law Shaolong should understand , I believe you would agree with hter”
Xiang Shaolong sighed to himself This is the last time he can mend fences with Lu Buwei
Originally a businessman, this Qin Premier cooperated with him because there are benefits to be reaped Next, he tried to kill him because he will benefit froain to benefit himself
He is aelse is unimportant
If it was anybody else, that person would bear sorudges at all but treated Xiang Shaolong even better than before
From these, he concluded that even if he became his son-in-law, he can still be a sacrificial pawn in the political ga is an example
Xiang Shaolong can almost feel that Lu Buanted to turn Qin into his own country via Xiao Pan Heof Qin one day
Lu Buwei saw that he did not reject outright and thought that he was te his shoulder, he added: “Think about it! Give me an answer the next ti that idi0t”
The carriage caate of the Command Centre
Xiang Shaolong gave his thanks and dise He is very confident that Lu Buill ask hi fair If his answer is ‘no’, he will proceed to assassinate him
Back at the Command Centre, everyone is full of praise and respect for hiained the respect of the Qin Court and he had gained the respect of the Imperial Army In the future, no one will dare to question his authority
Teng Yi and Jing Jun had returned earlier The ood laugh Lu Xiong’s career is over and it ishim
Teng Yi stopped laughing and officially state: “Even Guan Zhongxie the Infantry Commander has been demoted This kid must have a lot of scores to settle with Lu Buwei”
Xiang Shaolong bitterly laughed: “We will soon be fighting hiain He must have an answer by the next time we meet”
Jing Jun blinked: “That Lu Niang Rong is quite attractive Why don’t you e at the same time?”
Teng Yi furiously barked: “What kind of person do you think Third Brother is?”
Jing Jun shut up at once
Xiang Shaolong sighed: “This is a troublesome issue If we reject him, Lu Buill attack us but I cannot be bothered anymore”
Teng Yi was about to say so and Lu Dan’er are here to harass hiain
Xiang Shaolong and the two girls rode out of the city along the official roads Riding down a slope, they ca and the grass is jade green With these two stubborn but beautiful girls accoh spirits
Ying Ying rode cheerfully to his side and pointed to a hill nearby, stating: “That is Horse-resting hill On the hill is a tall and ancient cypress tree with a spring beside it That shall be our finishi+ng line and whoever reaches first shall be the winner For the next three months, the loser must pay obeisance to the winner every time they meet”
On his other side, Lu Dan’er giggled: “Of course it is not a simple horse race You can use anybut the rider and horse must not be injured Do you understand?”
Xiang Shaolong was astounded: “The horse will sprint very quickly and how can there be any time to attack the opponent?”
Ying Ying shot hi into her horse’s sto wind: “Hoould I know?”
Lu Dan’er sped off at the same time
Xiang Shaolong is used to their ‘ruthless methods’ and did not have ti and began to chase them
In ter, he only learnt about it when he ca Jian who can eat and sleep on horseback, he is far behind But in terht about the girls helping hi to the respects to pretty girls is so fun to him
With this ht and rode leisurely towards the goal, trailing the tails of the two horses in front of him
He gradually left the grasslands behind
Xiang Shaolong could not help but think about Zhao Ya
If he can really kill Tian Dan and avenge Shan Rou, she should be in Xianyang City by the time he comes back
After so many twists and turns, he must treat her well and provide her with a comfortable life for the rest of her days
In front of hiirls rode into a forest
Xiang Shaolong turned his thoughts to Qin Qing
Love is a funny thing Opposites do attract which best describes their relationshi+p They need not be in an official relationshi+p; all they need is the special feeling whenever theythe forbidden fruit If they can stay like this forever, it would be perfect The problem is one day, they rets
In the 21st century, he would never stutter in front of a beautiful girl But the inevitable has happened, showing how ed
Deep in his thoughts, he came to the forest and entered it
Occasionally, he caught sight of the back of the two girls
Ladies of these historical tiand Lu Dan’er are barely fifteen or sixteen but are like flowers in full blosso and archery skills With a good figure, they are irls fro if he said he is not tempted by them
But Xiang Shaolong had no desire to be involved with them
Firstly, he had no desire to get involved in new relationshi+ps, especially with Lu Dan’er She is one of the girls shortlisted to ets involved with her, it is equivalent to hi with Xiao Pan
This is not the 21st century where people have one night stands Additionally, she coious family Anyone whoher What Xiang Shaolong fears the most now is responsibility to pretty ladies The only exception is Qin Qing, whom he is troubled over
Still thinking about her, he suddenly felt so was amiss
He caught sight of a black figure from the corner of his eye and he looked over in that direction A net was throards his head and the attacker was hiding behind a short tree
Xiang Shaolong could have unsheathe Bloodwave and chopped at the net
But the net suddenly tightened and was intertwined with Bloodwave The net continued to pull Bloodwave away from him
Xiang Shaolong was ath, they are no match for him
Without thinking, he pulled hard at the sword and wanted to cut the net into two
Like a bolt out of nowhere, an unbeatable strong force pulled back and Xiang Shaolong was flabbergasted He fell down his horse with his sword and landed squarely on his face
A rider-less Jifeng galloped a few steps forward and stopped It turned back and looked at Xiang Shaolong with a quizzical look on its face
The opponent continued to pull very hard Helplessly, Xiang Shaolong had to let go and lost his sword
Shrill giggles of the two girls can be heard from the bushes
Xiang Shaolong realised that they had used the horse’s strength to steal his sword Exasperated, he continued to lie on the grass and gazed up at the blue sky and white clouds
Soon, the two attractive girls appeared by his side Bending down to look at their defeated opponent, they were still laughing hysterically with satisfaction
