Qin Qing is in her garden adhted to receive hiht into his eyes, she simply swept him off his feet
Strolling in the snow shoulder to shoulder, there were no intimate actions but they can both feel the intimacy in each others’ heart
Xiang Shaolong gently revealed: “At Lu Buwei’s birthday dinner next xie to death”
Shocked, Qin Qing wailed: “You! Why did you have to fight him?”
Xiang Shaolong answered: “Thisthe post of the Imperial Infantry Commander If I do not eliminate him, ill have many days of trouble in the future”
Lowering her hood, Qin Qing halted and whined: “If you lose Ai! I am so worried”
Xiang Shaolong turned around and leaned his head towards her, scrutinizing her flawless beauty and s the duel, ill you do?”
Her face beco shook: “Please do not speak like this Do you think I ahtened already?”
Xiang Shaolong insisted: “Grand Tutor Qin has yet to reply me”
Qin Qing shot hi softly: “I will join you in death! Happy?”
Xiang Shaolong was shaken: “Grand Tutor Qin!”
Qin Qing shook her head and sighed: “To think I will actually say such things to a !”
Xiang Shaolong smiled: “Of course I will not lose! If I am not confident, I will just admit my loss What can he do about it?”
Pausing, he added: “I am here today to sincerely invite Grand Tutor Qin to stay at the far and focus on training to prepare for the duel next et about you and to avoid the pain of pining for you, I have to request that you be by my side”
In an instant, even the root of Qin Qing’s ears is co her head e, do you know that byme to marry you?”
Xiang Shaolong reached out and held her white and tender shoulders before gently replying: “Of course I know Please forgive my callousness but I want to win both your heart and your body If either one is lacking, I will not accept it”
Qin Qing struggled slightly and wailed: “Are you treating me like a piece of merchandise?”
Xiang Shaolong leaned forward and kissed her cheek, slowly saying: “Whatever I just want you We need not deceive ourselves any longer in the future and live life with so many restrictions Some opportunities are lost forever if they are hly before I co for you”
Qin Qing’s head is so low that it is al as soft as afor the farm?”
Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed: “Early to”
Qin Qing softly pleaded: “Can you release me first?”
Stunned, Xiang Shaolong released his grip on her
Qin Qing floated away like the breeze and finally stopped at a distance ten feet away from him She officially state: “I ait for you here tomorrow! See you then”
Giving him a romantic and emotional look, she turned around and sashayed away
An intoxicated Xiang Shaolong stared at her until she disappeared a himself and headed towards the Command Centre
At the Command Centre main door, so Ying and froht’s sleep She started: “Official Xiang, I must speak to you privately”
Xiang Shaolong has just expressed his love for Qin Qing and gotten the reat mood, he nodded: “Let’s talk more inside!”
Ying Ying stubbornly shook her head: “No! Let’s take a walk outside the city!”
Alar’s head With Xu Xian and Lu Gong dead, he is the man Lu Buanted to kill next Will this be a trap laid by Guan Zhongxie but executed through Ying Ying?
He decided otherwise because nobecoht!”
Turning around, he was about to instruct the Guardians to wait for him at the Co, please forgive us for being unable to comply The Madams have strictly instructed us to never leave your side”
Xiang Shaolong was taken aback and relented: “Fine! You can follow behind me”
He proceeded to ride with Ying Ying out of the city
Riding out of the city gates, his spirits lifted considerably
The rolling meadows have become a blanket of white snow and they spread out as far as the eye can see Mother Nature is co
The Eighteen Guardians were riding two hundred steps behind theainst any ambushes
Xiang Shaolong assessed Ying Ying
Her char which is probably due to Guan Zhongxie’s nourishment
Xiang Shaolong wondered hoill the already peerless beautiful Qin Qing turn out after his own nourishment?
With this thought running through his head, Xiang Shaolong isas a friend and not as a lover
Ying Ying softly asked: “Xiang Shaolong! Please do not fight Zhongxie As long as you publicly announce that you do not wish toand thus rejected the duel, no one will say that you are afraid of him”
Xiang Shaolong agreed that this is an excellent solution Moreover, he did appear superior during the hunting fair and withto avoid this fight The problexie has already reached the point of no return, where neither can tolerate the presence of each other
Just like hi
Not receiving a reply frorily: “You do not love Lu Niang Rong, what is the use of fighting over her?”
Xiang Shaolong was ad the snow accu the official roads He lightly sighed: “Miss is really protective of Guan Zhongxie Whatever you do is in his best interests”
Ying Ying noticed the sarcasm in his voice and was incensed: “Do you think I a after your interests too? While you are away for the past sixhis sword every day and aiting for the day he could kill you Do you think you can still defeat him?”
Xiang Shaolong did not take her words to heart and smiled: “So who do you think in?”
Ying Ying was so angry her entire face is completely white She cursed: “I wish both of you are dead”
Xiang Shaolong laughed loudly: “Let’s return back to the City You need not say any more”
Stopping her horse, Ying Ying’s face is co at him furiously for some time, she softened and inti indecisive No wonder you are treating me like this Please listen to me this time, ok?”
Xiang Shaolong seriously state: “Ying Ying, you better come back to your senses and look clearly at the harsh realities in front of you This is not a personal feud but a fight that concerns the power struggle of the Qin Court and a co party will stand to have their faxie, you are just one of his pawns but you are only good at disobeying your brothers’ orders to restrict you for your own good Did you ever spare a thought for them? You are only stubborn, wilful and want others to pander to your selfish needs”
Pausing for a while, he proudly rehts and this is not the first ti to kill nore genuine concerns If you ever xie, you better pray that Lu Buwei can successfully rebel but that would ic death for both your brothers If Lu Buwei fails, you xie will be executed This is the truth and Crown Prince Zheng will not waver All these circuxie and Mo Ao’s sche to kill me Do you understand?”
Not paying any more attention to her, he left and re-entered the city
Before he reached the Co’s et close to her physically to with passion and he wished that time could pass faster
At the Co Yi whispered: “Tu Xian will meet you at the usual place later”
Xiang Shaolong was elated: “I was about to look for him!”
Sitting down, Teng Yi reported: “After winter, Meng Ao will attack Han Your old friend Han Chuang is in trouble”
Xiang Shaolong helplessly replied: “This is so beyond our control If we are weak, Han will be attacking us instead But as long as we are building the Zhengguo Canal, ill lack the resources for a grand caain one or two provinces from the Three Allied States By the tiainst the East, ould be long gone”
