Book 19 Chapter 4 - An Open Challenge To Battle

Frowning, Lao Ai said, ”What is so urgent? Can you order your subordinates to handle it? The banquet hasn't even started yet! And in addition, there is the song-and-dance routine which I specially prepared for you”

Pu Hu also spoke ”Master Xiang, you haven't even warmed your seat yet How can you leave in such a rush? None of us will let you leave”

Xiang Shaolong secretly cursed at himself This really could be handled by so as he sent word to Teng Yi, Teng Yi could then convey the ht; I becao relay the instructions to my subordinates now Everyone, please pardon me”

Only then did Lao Ai and the others relax and allow hio

Xiang Shaolong strode outside and arrived at the s Shan and the others were in the irls ere taking care of them Wu Zhuo was nowhere to be seen

At the sa said in a terrified voice, ”Wu Zhuo went to find his old lover Master, please do not blame him”

How could Xiang Shaolong bla Shan instead, but then decided that this would be a good chance to take a walk outside and relax After finding out where Wu Zhuo had gone, he wanted to leave, but everyone hurriedly stood up behind him

Xiang Shaolong had never liked a crowd following behind hi their feast, he told the him and slipped out on his own

When he stepped into the copse of trees outside, he felt reinvigorated When he re at hon friendshi+p with these people at this sort of place, he could only let out a long sigh

Quite soon, he arrived at the ht, while he was by hiirls he encountered assumed that he was just a common man-at-arms and didn't pay much attention to him

By the time he neared the primary courtyard, he suddenly saw Wu Fu rush towards him without a lantern His head lowered, he didn't notice Xiang Shaolong at all as he scurried into a small path

Xiang Shaolong grew suspicious and quickly, quietly followed him

If he hadn't seen thethe Four Flowers of the Drunken Wind Pavilion, he definitely wouldn't have followed

This was because all four of the Floere at Lao Ai's banquet Wu Fu should be busy taking care of the guests There was no reason for hi for him

Anyone waiting in the boudoir of any one of the Flowersto Lao Ai's people or Lu Buwei's people Otherwise, ould dare contend with them?

Since Lao Ai's people were all at the pavilion, who could it be besides Lu Buwei's subordinate?

Using the 21st century techniques of the special ops division, Xiang Shaolong closely followed behind Wu Fu and quickly arrived at the bamboo residence

He could see peopleWu Fu inside

Xiang Shaolong suddenly felt inadequate to the task at hand Previously, it was all thanks to Han Chuang's assistance that he ed to secretly enter this 'Secluded Baht now, he didn't even have his cli hooks There was no possible way he could enter!

Just as he wanted to leave, a ray of light appeared in his head

Didn't Wu Fu say that there were a series of copper tubes that allowed people to listen in on the Four Flowers, while they themselves wouldn't know about it?

This probably wasn't a lie, because all Xiang Shaolong had to do was to investigate in order to deter the truth or not This sort of listening device was probably si device installed at Lord Xinling's residence It couldn't be installed in any of the four rooo

But it should also be installed nearby, as the longer the distance became, the lower the transmission quality would be

Xiang Shaolong no longer hesitated, as he went searching a within the barove Behind it was a tall wall

He quickly struck aSoon, he found a rooe cabinets in it They looked different co, and were locked as well

Xiang Shaolong hurriedly took out his flying needles In a short period of ti the cabinet, he couldn't help but cheer

He saw a copper tube rise up fro like a s here to press his ears against

At least Wu Fu, that brat, hadn't lied to hi installation

of the eavesdropping installation

But this copper tube clearly wasn't connected to the roo

Xiang Shaolong tried opening the other cabinets By the time he reached the third, he heard a faint sound, and he hurriedly pressed his ear against the tube

Froainst one another

After a long ti

After a person's voice travelled through these copper tubes, it would become distorted and unclear, so for the hed

Following that, another person said, ”The Pre Shaolong is crafty and suspicious, he wholly fell for my story”

How could Xiang Shaolong not realize that it was Wu Fu as speaking? He was so furious that he gnashed his teeth

The other voice laughed, ”It'sskills That's why this chain-of-pearls strategy the Premier Mentor came up with can succeed When, in the future, the Crown Princeto do with it”

Just from the way the xie

Xiang Shaolong secretly exclaimed to himself, ”What a narrow escape!”

If he hadn't decided to stealthily spy on the conversation and hear these words, he would have taken a treht never recover from

From this, he could also tell that Xiao Pan really was the heaven-ordained Qin shi+huang, whose good fortune was determined by heaven

Whereas Lu Buas only defeated because of luck Or perhaps it was because this had all been planned out according to the will of heaven

At the same time, he felt a sense of exhaustion

Lu Buas filled with countless venomous schemes, one after the other When would he have time for peace?

Only when the Black Dragon appeared

Lu Buwei's voice could be heard fro those bandits?”

Wu Fu laughed ”Pre was terrified by my words and will find an excuse to leave early, so that he can inform the Crown Prince Whereas I have already inforht, Meimei can only accompany him until ten, after which she must leave I'll escort her back here at that time”

Lu Buwei coldly sneered Disdainfully, he said, ”This fake eunuch actually dares to fight with ”

After listening for a while longer, Xiang Shaolong realized that he wouldn't be able to discover anything else Re-locking the cupboards, he quietly snuck out

Returning to Lao Ai's pavilion, he saw that Qiu Risheng and the three principal instructors of the Weinan Martial School, Guo Xin, An Jinliang, and Chang Jie had all arrived as well They sat on four freshly prepared seats Fourwine for thehtly inferior to Dan Xia and Hua Ling, ere serving Han Jie and Ling Qi

Seeing his return, Yang Yu and Dan Meimei were the first to voice their discontent, while everyone else chi

The way Xiang Shaolong felt now as opposed to earlier was tre and the others, before willing accepting a cup of wine in punishnation'

When Qiu Risheng toasted him, his expression was extraordinarily cold and cal Jie showed hints of hostility on their faces as well Unexpectedly, although Guo Xin was slightly less than ardent, Xiang Shaolong could feel that Guo Xin was grateful towards him in Guo Xin's courteous toast

Lao Ai clearly wasn't pleased with the attitudes of Qiu Risheng and hispretended not to notice as the ate

At this ti noticed that Dan Meiazed towards him at times, were filled with a hidden hatred and detestation He secretly exclaiestion really was powerful Because he had resolved to never believe Wu Fu's words again, his entire ied

Right now, there were eight feasts going on in the pavilion Only Xiang Shaolong alone wasa female companion

At this moment, the food was served The chopsticks werepoison
