When Xiang Shaolong and Guan Zhongxie arrived at Lu Buwei’s tent, he was seated outside the tent and enjoying the singing of two stunning courtesans With him are Mo Ao, Lu Chan and ten over escorts Zhou Zihen and Lu Niang Rong are not around
Lu Buwei pretended to be happy to see hi to sit beside him For the first time, he introduced Mo Ao and Lu Chan to him
As Xiang Shaolong exchanged soless conversation with Mo Ao and Lu Chan, Lu Buwei dis: “Tian Dan is leaving tonight What does Shaolong plan to do? If you want to go after him, I will fully support you He actually tried to har to assassinate you I will not protect him anymore”
Everyone stared at Xiang Shaolong, waiting for his reaction Xiang Shaolong felt like he is an aniers and wolves
Theypoisoned by them
Thoughts raced through his ive up his decision to pursue Tian Dan, Mo Ao may be suspicious and deduced that he has a secret plan But it would be ridiculous for him to chase after Tian Dan now He was in a dilemma
Recalling his deteroals at all costs’, he acted aard and divulged: “Actually, I wanted to kill Tian Dan because he killed a feot to know in Handan City It turned out to be aas I received a letter from her yesterday I am not really out to kill him but just wanted to scare hi to kill me and it is lucky that he has failed in all his attempts”
It is a co hiive him an excuse not to pursue him himself Fortunately, Tian Dan has left and there is no one to validate his words
Lu Buwei, Mo Ao, Guan Zhongxie and Lu Chan all have a strange expression on their faces after hearing his words After they exchanged glances, Guan Zhongxie began: “Why did Official Xiang think that the lady has been killed?”
Fro deduced that Tian Dan did not tell thehted and told the cohed: “I may have been too rash and concluded too early that she was killed without further thinking When I received her letter yesterday, I realised that it was a co She did try to assassinate Tian Dan but ed to escape with her life Naturally, I will not tell these things to Tian Dan!”
Lu Buwei shook his head and sighed: “We already know it is aIn actual fact, Tian Dan was puzzled that you concluded that she was dead based on the painting He saw that you were furious and did not clarify things with you”
Mo Ao cut in: “The painting is drawn by one of Tian Dan’s artist from his memory It is not unusual to draw the eyes incorrectly due to the short interaction” Now, it is Xiang Shaolong who trely and he exclaimed: “What?!”
As everyone is staring at him with astonishment, he tried to cover up and asked: “Since Premier Lu knows about this, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” He tried to suppress his emotions so that his joy will not show up on his face
Heavens!
So Shan Rou is really not dead It is really a
Lu Buwei leisurely replied: “I thought Tian Dan is spouting nonsense and is trying to useit up Noe have proven that he has been lying all along”
Xiang Shaolong acknowledged that it made sense But under those circumstances, there is no need for Tian Dan to lie to Lu Buwei Moreover, it is not Tian Dan’s style to showcase his weaknesses Thus, there is a high probability that Shan Rou is indeed alive
Lu Buwei saw that he cannot persuade Xiang Shaolong to pursue Tian Dan and disappointment is written all over his face He stood up and asked: “Shaolong! Will you visit Niang Rong in her tent? You e her mind”
Xiang Shaolong is not in the ether with Mo Ao and the rest and replied: “There is an early ood rest! I will see her again when she is feeling better tomorrow”
It may be due to his failure to cajole him that Lu Buwei is in a terrible mood He did not hold him back and allowed him to leave
