Book 19 Chap 11 – Returning Good For Evil

Xiang Shaolong had wanted to slip away but he was dragged by the recently promoted and over enthusiastic Li Si to see Xiao Pan Ji Yanran was not as happy as them and went home on her own

Although this tie change for the better Want Chi, wang Ling, Lords Changping and Changere all in high spirits as they surrounded Xiang Shaolong, this great mastermind into the inner court to see Xiao Pan

On seeing everyone arriving, Xiao Pan walked down froon throne, so touched that his eyes turned red from the emotions

Xiang Shaolong was a bit confounded as he looked at Xiao Pan striding towards hi manner

Suddenly he felt as if Xiao Pan is a total stranger, yet at the same time so close that he’s like his own son

The kind of two extreave hi

In another few years, Xiao Pan will be crowned as Emperor

And his relationshi+p with this future Emperor Qin, will have to come to an end

He has to leave

Because he does not wish to be drenched in the blood of the soldiers and civilians of the Six States He is totally weary towards wars

Xiao Pan’s actual age is 19 years old, and he absolutely has the air and co presence of a ruler of the tis

Hebut his shoulders are broad and his li ears TheShaolong, even he felt a chill in his heart

In the past, when Xu Xian and Lord Lu found out that he is not Lu Buwei’s illegitied loyalty to hi Chi are devoted to him without any reason at all Xiao Pan is just that kind of natural born political leader who has the charisma to make others submit to him

One can iine that when the time comes for him to be officially crowned as Emperor, he will become even more remarkable

Xiao Pan cahtly as he exclaimed with joy, “Grand Tutor, we’ve succeeded”

Li Si and the rest surrounded the two of theinning to sound a little nonsensical

All along, in the power struggle between a ruler and his power-holding official, the fight is never completed without some form of bloodshed

But with this Black Dragon, a stroke of genius, they immediately sliced off ly built up over many years and at the same time, possibly crushed the plans that he had been secretly le soldier or bloodshed, how can one not feel strangely touching

With the current situation, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to raise a coup Even the civilians of Xianyang will rise up to support Xiao Pan, not to mention the military which has always been loyal to the royal family

Xiang Shaolong replied with a srant me the permission”

Xiao Pan sighed, “Much as I a to do so, I can only accede to your request But once anything happens, Grand Tutor must come back to help me”

Xiang Shaolong felt as if a weight has been lifted off hiwei and in military there’s the two Supreme Generals Your Majesty, just do as you deem fit!”

Everyone roared with laughter

Because Xiang Shaolong is as good as saying, don’t co

Li Si chided laughingly, “Lord Xiang please do not , I will always be the same Li Si you met outside the city initially when you came back from Zhao”

Xiao Pan said, “When does Grand Tutor plan to return to the far his emphasis on the tords ‘te smile

Instead Xiang Shaolong grabbed Xiao Pan’s hands tightly, so tight that he could feel their flesh and blood ether as he answered, “After we eli’s Warrior School and after Xiao Jun’s wedding, I’ll return to the farm and takefor another ten odd days Heh, I want to go hoet ready for the feast tonight”

Xiao Pan let go of Xiang Shaolong’s hands unwillingly as he uttered e, will have this day, is all thanks to Grand Tutor”

That he, as a ruler of the country, is willing to say such a stateh to move everyone

Only Xiang Shaolong truly understands the hidden

Who would have expected that the mischievous imp of the past who only kno to harass palace maids will ultimately become the famous Emperor Qin ill unify the world?

Outside the palace doors, it was filled with people trying to take a look at the ruler and when they saw Xiang Shaolong co out, cheers erupted immediately

The sounds of hooves were heard Guoxing, leading a troop rushed out from the side and saluted him from a distance

On seeing Guoxing wearing his edre Jun looked when he wore his official uniform for the first time He can’t help but feel a deeper sense of closeness towards Guoxing

Guoxing came up to him and accompanied him as he rode towards the Wu residence He said with a quiet laugh, “I’ve been waiting outside for quite some time Earlier when Lao Ai and Lu Buwei came out separately, the crowds all jeered at them and they were so livid their faces were contorted But when Great General Xiang eed, you received the loudest cheers”

Seeing little children in their brand new clothes setting off firecrackers and playing catch at the side, Xiang Shaolong has never felt so relaxed before

Xiao Pan has finally stabilized his throne and in future, he’s the only person ill settle scores with others People like Lu Buwei and Lao Ai will only be fit to becoets

Guoxing said, “Master Xiang, please trust me In future I will follow you with absolute loyalty”

On hearing the change in his behavior, Xiang Shaolong showed hisin about 10 odd days and Xiao Jun will take overJust follow Xiao Jun and ith him, this is also the best opportunity for you to mend relations with him”

After Guoxing nodded his head in agreement, he lowered his voice and said, “After 5 of those assassins escaped, they all ran to Du Bi’s General Residence to hide fro, they will masquerade themselves as warriors froht

Xiang Shaolong asked in puzzlement, “Did they think they still have a chance at assassination tonight, or do they not know that all who enter the Palace to attend feasts are not allowed to bring weapons?”

Guoxing replied, “Qiu Risheng is not that careless, he just hopes to e of his school”

Xiang Shaolong said nonchalantly, “Fine, then let ht If not because of Lao Ai, I would have torn his school down today”

On hearing this, Guoxing was petrified and secretly relieved that he has ‘changed his loyalty to the wise ruler’, otherwise he would be one of those ould face utter humiliation

Guoxing added, “I heard that thisherself but luckily she was saved”

By now Xiang Shaolong only feels pity and no hate towards Dan Meimei But it’s really not convenient for him to interfere in this matter so he could only secretly lament that much as he would like to help, his hands are tied

He can’t stop hi, “Is Dan Meimei’s heart with Lao Ai?”

Guoxing gave a mysterious reply, “I’m afraid she’s the only one who knows But there has been talk a that the person Dan Mei”

Xiang Shaolong was startled as he exclaimed hoarsely, “Thatat all”

Guoxing bumped his shoulder as he replied, “A wo ru left after saluting

As soon as Xiang Shaolong thought of his oonderful and warhts of Dan Meimei were cast to the back of his mind immediately

As soon as he stepped into the house, hisYu from Drunken Wind Loft is here to look for hi at the East Hall

Xiang Shaolong was taken aback and he could roughly guess that this visit must be related to the unsuccessful suicide atteh

He is al Yu away but ultimately he could not harden his heart to do it After a brief internal struggle, he went to the East Hall

This beauty was devoid of hera plain outfit, and looks evento the eye then when she was all decked up and heavily ht’s shi+ Sufang, but her delicate beauty can still be considered rare

Up until now he still cannot decipher the inner workings of this lady of the night’s heart

Is she forced to harm him because she had to submit to Lu Buwei’s power? Or is she really in love with either Guan Zhongxie or Xu Shang, that’s why she’s willing to aid them in evil

In an environment full of schemes and nefarious plots, he has learnt not to trust anyone easily

At the same time he learnt how to use various methods to deal with his ene

Yang Yu saw him arrive and left her seat in joy to receive him

Xiang Shaolong was really worried that she will throw herself into his arfang and the other ladies By then there’s no way he will be able to defend himself

That’s the thing with the huoes and have fun at Drunken Wind Loft, Learned Lady Ji and the rest can pretend ignorance as long as they don’t witness anything but if he were to bring the playthings hoether

Xiang Shaolong hurriedly bowed and said politely, “Miss Yu, please take a seat”

Yang Yu is an expert in the psychology ofhiful look, retreated back to her seat She waited for Xiang Shaolong to sit down next to her before she raised her brows and said quietly, “Mei Luckily we have been on the alert to prevent her fro silly acts so ere able to save her in ti scar on her neck, she won’t be able to receive guests for quite some time”

Xiang Shaolong furrowed his brows, “Miss Yu has come to see me, is it because you think I can be of assistance to her?”

Yang Yu sighed and said, “I know very well that by co like this, you are already being very kind tome out of your residence It’s just that Meimei and I are closer than real sisters, the others are afraid of Lu Buwei’s authority and are keeping silent In the whole of Xianyang City now, Great General is the only one who holds no regard for Lu Buwei at all Meimei and I are really at our wits end so we can only sha’s help”

Xiang Shaolong asked worriedly, “Wasn’t Meiood terreatly, if he is willing to marry Meimei and she doesn’t mind, it should be very difficult for Lu Buwei to raise objections”

Yang Yu revealed a look of disdain as she said with a snort, “What is Lao Ai, at the very er He can coave hi courtesans and in the end they were beaten to death by the Dowager’s people Great General, please tell uts to marry into his residence”
