Vol 15 Chapter 8 (2/2)
After all this while, this is the first ti has talked to her up close It was a new sensation for him He nodded and said: ”Madam does not need to reveal her matters to my humble self”
Mada at her face intently and softly asked: ”Is hero able to see your servant's appearance?”
Xiang Shaolong was slightly eht, I can more or less see a little”
In his heart, he felt that these words carried a hint of ro for her?
This Mada in that they were all er as pure as young maidens but were instead extremely practical They kne to use themselves and their beauty to accomplish their objectives
Mada: ”Is hero really on this trip to Chu to look for gold?”
Xiang Shaolong did not expect her to be so perceptive and direct He did not dare hesitate, and replied: ”Men die for wealth, birds die for food If not for gold, ould I wearyand difficult journey?”
Mada pondered these tise sentences ”ood while before raising her head again to say: ”Hero Xiang's words are poetic and ful Definitely an extraordinary ant and beautiful wives are second to none, and not one person in your household is not an expert Should I believe that you are bustling all over for so as trivial as wealth?”
Xiang Shaolong refused to adold be a trivial ”
Fro and said unhurriedly: ”Since this is the case, as long as Hero Xiang escorts us to Yunnan, I will thank hero with one thousand teals of gold Your servant is prepared to swear a fell oath, and will definitely keep her word”
Xiang Shaolong was shocked, recalling Ji Yanran's discourse about how Chu was thwarted in its Eastern invasion and was coonist was one Great General Zhuang, who shared the sa's husband
Later when Chu's poaned, that Zhuang together with the vassal states atte was the king of Yunnan?
After recovering from his shock, he said unenthusiastically: ”Is Mada of Yunnan in some way?”
Mada is my father-in-law”
Xiang Shaolong figured that this was another fight for the throne, and another royal tragedy He lost the estion is indeed teold is too difficult to earn Moreover, I aerPlease forgivebut the body is weak”
Mada has the backing of the Wu faold?”
Xiang Shaolong laughed bitterly: ”So you already kneho I was, yet toyed with me deliberately”
Madaled: ”A person of your appearance and body shape cannot be found ast ten thousand men The Talented Lady Ji is even more difficult to pass off You are both so fa thought he could fool all of us”
Again she sht have used her body to buy your favour, but I know that this would not be effective on you Why don't we openly strike a mutually profitable deal instead?”
Xiang Shaolong had an uneasy feeling This Mada's qualities, she also had Zhao Ya's s him to be provoked
He took a deep breath, collected his mind, and said: ”Honestly, I do not knohat you can use to trade with me”
Mada had a card up her sleeves, said: ”This trip to Chu, is Mister Xiang after Li Yuan or Tian Dan? If its the latter, I do not fear that you will refuse to deal with me”
Xiang Shaolong was h many people knew about his plan to attack Tian Dan, it was limited to a small circle of people in the royal fa know this secret?
Mada is my aunt, he would not be so surprised”
Xiang Shaolong took a deep breath and said: ”Did Mada?”
Mada refused to answer, and said: ”Could Mister please tell me whether this trip is due to Tian Dan If the answer is not, then your servant does not have the necessary means to do business with Mister It would then be best to drop this matter”
Xiang Shaolong tried to discern with his heart Her tone see about Tian Dan He could not help being startled, gasping: ”Madam is formidable Please continue your discourse”
Mada happily said: ”Your servant trusts that Mister is an upright nobleman Once he knows your servant's secret, even if he does not accept the deal, he would not reveal the secret Is this the case?”
Xiang Shaolong bitterly laughed: ”Don't tell , will harm you women and children?”
Mada's spirit was roused: ”The reason I know so st Li Yuan's confidantes Mister should understand now!”
Xiang Shalong suddenly realized that Madahter-in-law and whats 's close relative For one of the spies froence system to infiltrate Li Yuan's confidantes was not unreasonable No wonder she knew that he wanted to deal with Tian Dan
Mada lift your servant's veil? Your servant wants to tell you an unfathomable secret face to face”
Xiang Shaolong frowned and said: ”Madas to another man, I am afraid that it would be improper for me to do so”
Mada sadly said: ”My late husband has already been beheaded by the rebel ar to anyone presently Why else would I flee 's protection, your servant would have been captured by the Chu people long ago”
Xiang Shaolong heaved a sigh and lifted her veil A face that was half happy and half angry, and filled with the charm of a mature beauty appeared before him
Her jade-like face was a little too long, but raceful swan-like neck, producing a uniquely attractive charm
In addition she had a cute little e to perfection
Her eyes were indeed bright and intelligent, causing men's hearts to race
Even though she did not have Qin Qing's classical beauty, she had the audacity and wild nature that Qin Qing lacked, causing men to want to bed her impulsively
No wonder she needed to veil her face
Mada her up unabashedly and was pleased, drawing back her shyness, said: ”Mister thinks that your servant's appearance is pleasing!”
Xiang Shaolong inning that she had no intention of seducing hi so Yet it was difficult to fault her For a frail woman like her to return to her ho on the gifts that heaven has bestowed on her, what else could she rely on?
One could ie from the time she left her country till today how many times she had used her beautiful body to barter for help from men
He couldn't help but sigh again: ”Madam does not need to lower herself You have not yet revealed the big secret!”
A look of a's eyes She softly said: ”Only till now do I understand why even the Widow Qing finds it difficult to restrain herself with Mister A person's words reveals his inner cultivation From Mister's restrained words, I can tell that Mister is extraordinary”
Xiang Shaolong silently ad to one's country is a serious ht cause trouble to yourself”
Mada: ”You have confidence in yourself Why should you be afraid of other people's ad us off, ai! nobody will believe that in this world there really exists a man like you who is afraid of women's affections”
The , the more he is enticed by her At this one to the slopes to help out, leaving the two of thele man and woman alone at the space outside the tents Secretly alar intently”
Mada restrained her smile and softly said: ”Tian Dan has already returned to the Chu capital Shou Chun”
Xiang Shaolong shook uncontrollably: ”What?”
Mada leisurely explained: ”As Tian Dan has enemies everywhere both inside and outside of Chu, he has an identical stand-in that follows hi to let hist Li Yuan's troops and departed The person you saw thereafter was his stand-in!”
Xiang Shaolong was covered in cold sweat No wonder Tian Dan kept such a low profile during the hunt and tried his best to avoid attending the public events To think this was the reason
He kneas short by one ame of chess and could not defeat the old fox
He needed to notify Teng Yi and Xu Yi Luan i wiped out by a Chu counter-attack
Once he thought about this, he lost theelse He has now failed completely and needs to write his name backwards
Suddenly Madaer While he was still in a daze, Madahtly on the lips before sitting back, saying: ”As long as you help me return to my country, I will hep you kill Tian Dan”
Xiang Shaolong woodenly said: ”You are powerless to defend yourself, how can you help me?”
Mada is able to murder his master and betray his country only because of Kind Xiao Lie's support in the background Now that King Xiao Lie is dead, there are many people in Shou Chun and Yunnan who support us Circued entirely If not hoould I dare to return to Chu?”
Xiang Shaolong recovered fro Xiao Lie's death from Li Yuan?”
Mada replied: ”Of course not Our fa came to us fro us back”
Xiang Shaolong al Xiao Lie is really dead?”
Madaly
Xiang Shaolong could not stop shuddering It was hard to believe that his scheme had accidentally helped Li Yuan rush back in time to seize power Otherwise Li Yuan would still be in Xianyang
This e as to exceed everyone's expectations
After taking a deep breath, he said with resolve: ”If I can kill Tian Dan, I will use all th to help your son take hold of the throne”
