Book 18 Chapter 05 – The Day Before The Fight

Carrying the two boxes, Xiang Shaolong returned to the Command Centre In his own rooowns inside His heart is filled armth

In this male dominant society, it is not easy for woman to achieve true happiness Guo Xiu’er and Li Yanyan are two good exaal status, they cannot pursue what their hearts truly desire

Their fates are still in the hands of men

Filled with immeasurable e Yi to summon him

Xiang Shaolong composed himself and went to the main hall

Teng Yi reported: “Another conflict has occurred So soates by the guards A dispute broke out and the head guard was injured The xie but Lao Ai showed up personally and Guan Zhongxie had to release theLao Ai’s antics”

Xiang Shaolong sht! Help e to Lu Dan’er shouldn’t be much of an issue After e”

Teng Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly sent so Jun

Xiang Shaolong advised: “With Lu Dan’er as his wife, he should be satisfied Second Brother must watch him carefully and not let hi City is a dangerous place with Lu Buwei and Lao Ai fighting it out We better not get involved”

Teng Yi bitterly laughed: “I have spoken to him countless times but this kid loves to flirt, socialize and entertain If you really want hi both his legs”

Xiang Shaolong sighed

Jing Jun will get into trouble later but as long as he is not injured or killed, Xiang Shaolong can still bear with hiet ht, at least he is not out-numbered”

Teng Yi reasoned: “If he becoreatly elevated Lu Gong has tremendous influence over many civil officials and ive hie, anyone would have to think twice before provoking him”

Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that if Lu Gong is still alive, heJun is not a Qin native

Teng Yi continued: “As long as Jing Jun doesn’t step into Drunken Wind Brothel, everything should be fine Currently, Lao Ai and Lu Buwei are indirectly using Drunken Wind Brothel as their contending ground Poor Wu Fu”

Xiang Shaolong thought of the complicated relationshi+p between Dan Meimei and Lao Ai

After Qin Qing and Ji Yanran, Dan Mei, Lu Dan’er, Wu Tingfang and Zhao Zhi Even if Lu Buwei and Lao Ai are absent, other men will try their best to secure her for their private pleasure

Somehow, he did not have the least bit of affection for her It yuan and E that he has a fear of beauties who lie with their eyes wide open

Teng Yi slapped his forehead: “I nearly forgot to tell you so Housekeeper Tu wanted to meet you at the old place at the ‘jia’ hour I a important to tell you”

Xiang Shaolong nodded: “I think Lu Buwei is really going to rebel”

Two hours later, Xiang Shaolong and Tu Xian rey since they h amounts of stress

After both enius toAo is especially embarrassed but Lu Buwei dare not blame him With this defeat, their plans are in disarray”

Xiang Shaolong knew that his guess is correct Lu Buwei is a temperamental person and patience is not one of his virtues He would not stand by and watch Xiao Pan grow in power each day He joked: “Is he ready to rebel?”

Tu Xian coldly s yet but he knorest power fro Ci) of thehim With your death, Lao Ai the fake eunuch can only do soJian cum An Gu are too far away to be of assistance But he just cannot get rid of you and noang Ci has deflected to your side Last night, he blew his top and cursed you and wang Ci nonstop in front of Guan Zhongxie and Meng Ao This man is without a conscience and has never reflected on all the horrendous crimes that he has committed”

Xiang Shaolong thought of so Ci tell Lu Buwei about the blood test Lu Gong did on Crown Prince? The one that proved Crown Prince is not related to Lu Buwei?”

This is the first ti the details, his face changed colour: “Shaolong, you are amble that Crown Prince is the son of Lu Buwei or not If he is indeed Lu Buwei’s son, wouldn’t all the hard work go down the drain?”

Of course Xiang Shaolong will not tell hi and the rest will begin to suspect that Crown Prince is that traitor’s [elad we placed a right bet this time”

Still fearful, Tu Xian took so: “I a Ci did not tell Lu Buwei about this ot into trouble, he will curse Zhu Ji He hates Zhu Ji for not telling Crown Prince the truth about hie With Lu Buwei’s intelligence, how can he ave Zhu Ji away, he had the intention toof Qin… How can there be a mistake? In the past, he did tell me once that the Crown Prince is his own flesh and blood”

Xiang Shaolong cannot help but asked: “But Zhu Ji told me personally that even she cannot be sure whether the Crown Prince is Lu Buwei’s son or King Zhuangxiang’s son”

Tu Xian lamented: “Even if she knew, this ambitious woman will not tell the truth If the Crown Prince is still close to her, she will not rely on Lao Ai At the end of the day, it is just a fight for power”

Xiang Shaolong was shaken as he had never thought of Zhu Ji this way

If someone else said these words, he would not pay any attention but Tu Xian knew her all the way back when she is still a courtesan in Lu Buwei’s residence

The ‘Ji’ is Zhu Ji refers to her profession, which is courtesan

When King Zhuangxiang is in power, she behaved herself well, knowing that she can enjoy wealth and power Moreover, her own son is the future King of Qin so she has nothing more to ask for

When Lu Buwei h him and did not want to depend on hi to her side but discovered that he is loyal to Xiao Pan and the late King so she got together with Lao Ai First, she can satisfy her 5exual needs and second, she can cultivate her authority through him

Recently, she found out that her son is really holding different views so she hardened her heart and subnant for hiive up her authority

After analyzing things fro and his guilt towards Zhu Ji lessened greatly

His , he enquired: “What does Lu Buwei plan to do now?”

Tu Xian revealed: “As long as you are around, Lu Buwei dare not let his guard down With wang Ci supporting you and Crown Prince, Meng Ao does not have the confidence to do anything too If there co Ao are out at e should be extra careful Meng Ao possesses the ht thousand family warriors, they can find any excuse and kill whoever that opposes the knows this better than me”

Xiang Shaolong nodded with a smile

Tu Xian continued; “At the presentall their hopes on the duel toes to win, you will be killed for sure Shaolong must think twice before you act”

Xiang Shaolong laughed loudly: “The bigger the hopes, the bigger the disappointment”

Still worried for hi frank For the past sixnonstop He is at his peak regardless of sword skills or fitness Shaolong need not gaer than you iine”

Xiang Shaolong is aware of his true concern for hi his shoulders, he proood show tomorrow”

He took the chance to ask: “How is Third Mistress doing?”

Tu Xian sighed: “Within the Premier Mentor Residence, she is the only person I care for She treats hter of that traitor These few days, she has been worrying a lot I can see that she prefers Guan Zhongxie over you Initially, I thought that she had really wanted both of you to fight again but recently, I learnt that it is Lu Buwei and Guan Zhongxie’s conspiracy During the hunting fair, you ain the upper hand but privately, Guan Zhongxie insisted that he did not wish to kill you so he let you off that night Otherwise, you would have lost for sure Hei! That is why I have tried ht if you can help it”

Xiang Shaolong whispered: “Honestly speaking, that day, I did not show ed to survive Toive it my best shot”

Tu Xian was astonished; “Really?”

To co sprouted nonsense: “Of course! Otherwise, why did I only defend and not attack during the second round?”
