Book 19 Chapter 1 - Endless Future Troubles
Despite being held prisoner under the iron hands of the indoirl still maintained a look of fearlessness A look of disdain on her face, she icily said to Xiang Shaolong, ”So Master Xiang wears a set of impenetrable armor beneath his clothes No wonder you are so bold and fearless!”
For so was out of place, but he couldn't quite figure out what the problem was
Jing Shan and Wu Guang had each seized her by an ar, it should be very difficult for her to make any movements at this time
Teng Yi clearly felt the sa that he had ThisJun and the Guardians, whose eyes were feasting on the sight of her chest, pushed straight due to her arainst her back He icily shouted, ”Kneel!”
Jing Shan and Wu Guang pressed down hard How could the soft-boned beauty resist? Even her beautiful, flexible legs had lost their ability to threaten anyone now
The sound of people co in from outside could be heard, as Ji Yanran and the rest came in as well
Right at this 's mind He realized what the problem was
She shouldn't have been so easily seized
Based on her skill as demonstrated at Lu Buwei's performance, it would not be an easy feat for his men to seize her and take her alive And if she had just taken a step towards theinstead, how could the Guardians have so easily caught her? She
The reason was because she saw that he was still alive, and heard him command his men not to kill her That hy she purposefully allowed his men to capture her, so as to make yet another attempt at assassination
At thistowards the main entrance
Xiang Shaolong also feigned distraction
At that moment, the soft-boned beauty took in a deep breath, then spat out A bolt of light shot out of her 's face
Teng Yi and the others were caught by surprise, utterly shocked
Xiang Shaolong suddenly dodged, slipping past the hidden weapon The soft-boned beauty's body ed to slip away frorasps Then, as slippery as a loach, she somehow threw the tay, into the ly fast and slick, causing all the watchers to praise her skills
Just as everyone was shouting in anger and shock, the soft-boned beauty grabbed herself by the knees and curled up into a ball Like a large rubber ball, she rolled next to ain the blink of an eye Before anyone had a chance to stop her, she shot out, flying away through the
The Guardians had just suffered a tremendous loss of face They furiously chased after her
Xiang Shaolong and the rest exchanged alances None of them had expected that the soft-boned beauty would be so for with Huan Yi, ca just heard the news The entire manor became very lively, both inside and out
When Xiang Shaolong awoke, he felt refreshed and energetic All of the previous night's worries had been washed clean away
As he got out of bed, he accidentally woke up the ever-lazy-a-bed Ji Yanran She sleepily threw herself into his e absent-mindedly, ”It's still dark outside, isn't it? Let's sleep for a while longer” Xiang Shaolong pulled her close After affectionately cuddling for a ti to wake up before the rooster crows in order to practice the Hundred Battles Sabreplay as well as barehandedthat soft-boned assassin, we can tell that the world contains countless numbers of skilled people If we aren't careful, we'll suffer calamity”
When Ji Yanran recalled how that soft-boned beauty had spat a hair-thin needle out fro fear ”How astounding She could hold a needle like that in herany suspicions”
Xiang Shaolong slapped her white buttocks hard Laughing, he said, ”Dear wife, sleep for a bit longer!”
Making a lovable face, Ji Yanran got up as well She grumbled, ”After that spank of yours, my desire to sleep has floay”
Xiang Shaolong's gaze naturally and unconsciously fell upon the half-open neckline of her sleepware, which revealed the deep valley of her cleavage He felt his pulse quicken, and just barely kept hiainst the bed He secretly steadied himself and forced himself away
He couldn't help but suddenly recall the warning which Li Mu had given him If he wasn't careful, he would allow the natural lust betweenhieneral's hopes
Ji Yanran ju joyfully, her face like a flower, she said, ”Allowhiht?”
By the tian to peek over the horizon, Xiang Shaolong had already rushed to the I breakfast When he saw hi Xiang Shaolong explain what had happened last night, he flew into a royal rage ”Lu Buwei, that treacherous dog In the future, We shall make sure that he doesn't even have a burial plot! He knows that you, master, are Our most beloved subject, and yet he still dares to act so rashly and presumptuously”
Xiang Shaolong laughed ”Crown Prince, it isn't as though you are discovering for the first tiry is a waste of ti Tian reported this to us this time But that female assassin really is a first-rate expert”
Xiao Pan was stunned for a longin spite of himself ”If anyone else had said those words, We would only be even more furious But since you were the one to say the words,in my heart I feel very comfortable Hah! Those words of mine really were pointless But I really don't understand why you handed those people over to Guan Zhongxie,naturally didn't tell them that it was because he knew that they wouldn't be able to overthrow Lu Buwei in the next few years, less Instead, he calnitude to happen within the city, so to co Tian?” Xiao Pan's royal countenance tre from his eyes, he cried out in approval ”Master, that really is a forxie was forced to sube has taken a huge tumble This is what is known as…what's the proper way to describe this?” Xiang Shaolong knew that he was feeling extrehts He coo for the kill!”
Xiao Pan slapped the table ”Just so! When he's ill, go for the kill If even the city defense force falls into my hands, even if Lu Buwei and Lao Ai sprout three heads and six arainst me”
At this moment, a servant came with the news that thecourt
Exchanging grins, the tent off to attendcourt
The great hall was filled with a solemn, stately air
With all of the aht, everyone present had heard at least some of the stories Everyone felt that this affair would be difficult to wrap up
After Xiang Shaolong was promoted to the rank of Great General, his position becaher than it had been previously He ranked only behind wang He, wang Ci, Meng Ao, and Du Bi, and so calmly seated himself besides them
Aside from the five of the Jian and An Gu
Of the three people placed at the highest position, Xiao Pan's expression looked the orous Zhu Ji and Lu Buwei, seated by his side and a little lower, both looked extreht
After everyone paid their obeisance, Xiao Pan launched the first attack as he began to question Xiang Shaolong about the previous night's events
Xiang Shaolong slowly, systeht, then said towards Guan Zhongxie, ”Official Guan, please present us with the results of your interrogation”
Guan Zhongxie, seated below Huan Yi, took a few steps forward and bowed down ”All of those thugs died fros they had hidden on their bodies Afterwards, we discovered poison pills hidden in theirthe poison to enter their stomachs By the time we discovered it, it was too late”
These words immediately caused a commotion
Xiang Shaolong naturally didn't believe a word of it This clearly was Lu Buwei's plan, to kill these people in order to silence them
But there was no need for hi opposite to hiuide us with your wisdoroup of men to be able to sneak into the city and attempt to assassinate a senior minister, with a careful, meticulous plot that was clearly preo, is a serious event that cannot be easily dismissed Not only must we seek out and pursue the mastermind behind their actions, we also must find out eakness in our city defenses was exposed How else can we explain the fact that so ?” Everyone nodded in agreeroaned in silence
Judging fro to assign blame on soreement to try and seize the position of the Imperial Infantry Commander for their own
Lu Buwei, Guang Zhongxie, and Meng Ao also sahat Lao Ai was atteed
But Lord Changping hadn't quite thought things through yet He berated Guan Zhongxie, ”Official Guan, are you saying that you don't know anything about those people's origins?” Guan Zhongxie calmly said, ”I have asked for instructions froe and unusual, the Preate thismy report to the Crown Prince”
Du Bi let out a cold harruht, you have nothing to report at all? Actually, just froh inforins, and to point out the person behind their actions”
Lu Buwei laughed loudly ”Great General Du's words are wise These assassin's weapons were all forged at the weapon foundry in Tunliu [near modern Shanxi], owned by Pu Juan The only reason why I didn't allow this to be reported was because I feared that others were fraxie to make additional inquiries But if Great General Du feels that this evidence is already sufficient and conclusive, please request the Crown Prince to issue the order and have Pu Juan immediately executed”
Du Bi's expression changed draeous!”
He turned towards Xiao Pan and was about to speak, but Xiao Pan calmly said, ”Great General Du, cal to frame Mr Pu!”
