There are no intelligence reports yet as Lord Gaoling will not dare to act before the night hunt has begun Moreover, it will be ridiculous if he tried to set the caht
At lunchtime, the camp is reasonably peaceful
The night hunters have retired back to their tents to get some rest so as to be in tip top condition later
Time passed slowly

The sun gradually descended behind the western mountains
The cahted up and there is sates, it is bustling with activities as the palace guards are setting up the place for the dinner banquet

Within the cauards have silently increased their defences at the Royal Tents
Jing Jun’s intelligence unit has finally co inside and outside the caone strict and rigorous intelligence gathering training taught personally by Xiang Shaolong To them, this is a task that they have been well-prepared for
Before they entered the banquet area, Xiang Shaolong and Lu Gong stood on a slope outside the wooden gates They were in great spirits as they enjoy the wind blowing against their skin and looking at the vast landscape before their eyes
Lu Gong sighed: “After Bai Qi, we lack a capable general who can lead our ar, I can finally rest easy” Xiang Shaolong hu le battle What eneral?”
Lu Gong laughed: “You can judge a man accurately from small details When Bai Qi first ca and small detail just you Everyone was full of adht hard under his leadershi+p Shaolong ht a proper war yet but you have everyone sub to lay down their lives for you This is a basic requireeneral”
Pausing for a while, he added: “The first step to becoement From your carefree appearance, I can tell that you are well-versed in soldiering If laws are not enforced, there will be disorder; If training is insufficient, soldiers cannot fight; If you are carefree because you are well-prepared, you can fight ten thousand battles and win every one of the’s carefree and well-prepared outlook, I was reood old days”
Xiang Shaolong was astounded Lu Gong’s words do ainst Zhao Mu in Handan City, he has Teng Yi and Jing Jun to help him, the elite warriors are well-trained and he has Pu Bu and Liu Chao as spies When everything is properly planned, he was indeed relaxed and carefree However, at that point in ti!
In Sun Zi’s Art of War, this is known as ‘proper delegation of appropriate work to the appropriate person’
Lu Gong becaood enough to last one generation There is no lack of talent; only lack of people who can recognize talent There is no lack of people who can recognize talent, only lack of people who can use talentedhas reco Jian to the Crown Prince and know that Shaolong’s foresight is second to none In the area, I am afraid even Bai Qi is not your match”
Xiang Shaolong was feeling guilty at this undeserved praise
They were interrupted by a palace guard who caates for the banquet Thus, their conversation came to an end
The sun has finally disappeared behind the western mountain
Mo Ao is about to die

Xiao Pan is very energetic and his two eyes are shi+ning brightly, showing his excited mood
Lu Buwei is in his usual great spirits and frequently toasted and chatted with Zhu Ji
Mo Ao surprisingly showed up for the banquet and is seated at the back with Lu Chan and Zhou Zihen Itbefore his own eyes or that he need not conceal himself any further
Seated between Lu Buwei and Guan Zhongxie, Lu Niang Rong kept her head lowered throughout the banquet and did not even take a single look at Xiang Shaolong
After a group of palace guards perfor sword dance and the air is filled with enthusiastic clapping, one of Jing Jun’s fellow villagers Jing Shan ca’s back and reported in a low voice: “Lord Gaoling’sto spray oil on the tents behind the defending gates Master Jun has intentionally sent some men to patrol the area so only a limited area is affected”
Xiang Shaolong whispered back: “What about Lu Buwei’s men?”
Jing Shan replied: “There are three hundred family warriors from Lu Buwei’s side who have left the ca River Master Jun is sure that they will begin to kill Lu Buwei’s enees and everyone is in a state of panic”
When Jing Shan left, Xiang Shaolong re beside him: “Bro! It is time!”
Lord Changping exchanged a thrilled look with him and quietly left his seat On the other side, Li Siand whispered: “Fro puzzled because you have yet to show any signs of poisoning Hei! This is interesting!”
Pausing, he added: “There is soly allowed Lord Gaoling to run a a the confusion?”
Xiang Shaolong observed that Zhou Zihen and Lu Chan have left their seats He s Lord Gaoling’s ’s ah Lu Buwei only has an escort of about one hundredthe confusion When I die of poisoning, Guan Zhongxie will take over my Cavalry Army All Lu Buwei need to do is to stand beside the E him advice on the spot, everyone will have to listen to his commands”
He sighed: “He ain the benefits”
Li Si cannot hold back his laughter: “This is so coht of that Hei! Look at the Crown Prince’s alert expression Last night, he only slept for several hours and today is such a busy day Despite all that, he is still looking fresh and vigilant The late King is much weaker compared to him”
Xiang Shaolong agreed The etic people Otherwise, they cannot handle theand associated stress Xiao Pan is Qin shi+ Huang and his energy level is surely higher than ordinary people
At this xie left his seat and took a detour to Lao Ai’s table, engaging him in a conversation
Xiang Shaolong nearly wanted to send someone to eavesdrop on them but suppressed this desire He wondered if Lao Ai’s name is on Lu Buwei’s assassination list?
Jing Shan ca’s s and rafts into the water When the camp catches fire, they will lead a coordinated attack Zhou Zihen and Lu Chan have left the ca River while the other one is likely to be liaising with another group of Lu Buwei’s family warriors Master Jun has instructed Pu Bu to trail hi funny, they will be killed without question”
After Jing Shan departed, Xiang Shaolong leaned towards Li Si and informed “It is tio and have some fun with Lu Buwei”
The twohis deploy He updated: “All the members of the royal faoing as planned Noill protect E must be careful”
Both ed a smile and went on their separate ways
Xiang Shaolong took a detour and ca: “What are the two of you talking about? Both of you looked so happy”
In actual fact, bothwith a serious expression on their faces and there was no sign of happiness Hearing his inverse description, they know that Xiang Shaolong has a hiddenin his words
