Vol 20 Chapter 10 (2/2)

The both of theing in, his eyes fury with jealousy as he stared angrily at both of them

Xiang Shaolong secretly sighed

Fatehe can do to change the situation

When he returned to the Wu residence, the angry and venomous look in Lao Ai’s eyes still haunts his mind

Rome was not built in a day So Lao Ai’s jealousy towards hi that just started today

He’s the kind of person who thinks that all the wohtfully fall in love with hiives Compared to him, Lu Buwei’s tactics are indeed a lot more brilliant

On a certain level, Xiao Pan can still reluctantly accept Lu Buwei as a foster father but he will never acknowledge Lao Ai as his fake father

Just based on this point alone, Lao Ai has already planted the seed of his own demise

History has long proven that all those rulers who founded a dynasty are definitely vicious and without mercy Xiao Pan, the Emperor of Qin, is the best of them all

When he killed Zhao Mu with his own hands, his eyes were shi+ning brightly as he reported to Xiang Shaolong At that time, he could already identify Xiao Pan’s bravery and he was just a 15 year old boy then

This ti Qiao and Du Bi and at the saet rid of Pu Hu From this, his attention to details and his merciless nature can be seen

Of course, this is also due to his background and the incidents that had befallen him

Just as hiswith all these inforates with his bodyguards

A horse carriage was parked at the square and a few of Qin Qing’s fauards When they saw hi, they paid their respects

Xiang Shaolong was ecstatic as he jumped down his horse and shouted, “Is Grand Tutor Qin back”

One of the”

A fiery ball of love welled in Xiang Shaolong’s heart as he ran into the house When he got to the grand hall, the beauty that he has been thinking of day and night, dressed in a si happily with Ji Yanran and the other ladies, including Shan Lan, Zhou Wei and the children On seeing Xiang Shaolong, Qin Qing’s pretty eyes brightened immediately with an indescribable fire as her delicate body trehtly but her expression re to control herself Wu Tingfang said with a laugh, “Sister Qing pines for one of us, so she came back earlier”

Qin Qing’s pretty face blushed iry stare, her expression extre

Xiang Shaolong suppressed his urge to gather her into his arh, “Grand Tutor Qin has lost weight, but looks evenbut Great General’s reputation still rings loudly like thunder What luck that my return this ti as well”

Shan Lan said with a laugh, “Both of you can stop pretending It’s all our own people here, must you behave so politely towards each other”

Ji Yanran helped Qin Qing out of the situation by changing the topic and telling Xiang Shaolong, “Sister Qing said that Lu Buent to her hoood books of the estion to reduce taxes came from Li Si but he boasted that it was his idea”

Zhou Wei added, “What’s evenis that he ca was so alarmed that she had to move somewhere else to stay”

Xiang Shaolong said with a s that Cheng Qiao would be able to get rid of us so there’s no more need for him to control himself”

He went nearer to Qin Qing and said, “We’ll return to the far to dawdle around like this for the rest of your life?”

Qin Qing blushed right to her ears and pouted, “Your official posts are getting bigger and bigger but you’re getting naughtier I’er and the Crown Prince”

Xiang Shaolong grabbed her small shoulders without any hesitation and whispered in her ears, “I don’t care where Grand Tutor Qin is going now, but Grand Tutor ht”

Wu Tingfang was listening intently to their conversation and on hearing his words, said with a s to chat with us sisters through the night instead Hee hee, sorry about that, Great General”

Xiang Shaolong nodded his head, “That’s even more ideal”

The ladies all reprih

By this tihts of Zhu Ji, Lao Ai and all the fights with his enemies behind him

At this hts of the open plains and he rerassland that he once went to in the 21st century while undergoing training Blue skies, white clouds, green grass as lush as carpets spans the entire horizon, the lakes look like clearone another with the srass filled the air If he can spend the rest of this weird and wonderful life in peace with his wives and beloved children in this farm surrounded by nature, with no need to bother about hts for power and war, hoonderful would life be?

The next day, he returned to the far ith the separated for so long and now is no longer bothered about how others sees them

Ten days later, wang Ling and Huan Qi gathered an army of 100,000Cheng Qiao abandoned Qin and allied with Zhao wang Bi and Yang Duanhe were beaten back by Li Mu on nued their tactics to be on the defensive and ed to stabilize the various eastern coerous At the sa Hui of Han died of illness and the Crown Prince ascended the throne Han Chuang has always been on good ter the reatly increased as well and the two states relied on each other, working hand in hand to repel Qin, suppressing the eastern advance brothers

On the other hand, Xiang Shaolong and Teng Yi are leading carefree lives at the faro before Xiao Pan’s coronation But during this period of tiuess what changes will happen in the meantime

On this day, Lord Wenchang and Li Si caether to the farm to visit theain

Xiang Shaolong and Teng Yi led the both of the commented, “Lu Buwei just came back, his relationshi+p with Lao Ai is noticeably better and they will occasionally go and have drinks together at Drunken Wind Loft He even let Lao Ai have Bai Yaya”

Li Si said icily, “Into repeat the devious trick he used on Cheng Qiao, which is to incite Lao Ai to rebel Maybe he even hinted openly that he will support the bastard son he had with the Dowager to ascend the throne, then get rid of Lao Ai after that and round, it’s possible that this is so he can accomplish”

Lord Changping added, “But there’s one thing which is quite strange After Shaolong left, the Dowager went to speak with the Crown Prince and offered to hand over part of her authority and after that will live in seclusion in Yongdu Lao Ai is nowbut some important decisions or deployreement before it can proceed”

Xiang Shaolong was secretly relieved that at least Zhu Ji is willing to listen to his advice, resulting in improved relations between her and Xiao Pan

Teng Yi asked, “Is there any news from Mao Jiao’s side?”

Lord Changping replied with a cold snort, “He said Lao Ai is at Yong Du cultivating talents There’s sodu’s castellan The Grand Tedu, so it’s under Lao Ai’s jurisdiction It can be effectively considered that Yongdu is now under his control”

Xiang Shaolong already knew long ago that Lao Ai will certainly try to gather resources first, otherwise he won’t be able to start a rebellion

Teng Yi asked about wang Ling and Huan Qi’s battle situation

Li Si replied with a sigh, “His Highness is still worried Pu Hu’s has retreated back to Tunliu and is staying behind the walls, refusing to co can do to hi is that winter is fast approaching and it’s a tiers Besides, there’s also the existence of Li Mu, he’s an uncertain factor”

Lord Changping sighed, “I don’t know if it’s intentional on Lu Buwei’s part, using the excuse that the building of the Zhengguo Canal will be coe number of men locally to build the canal, with the result thatdon’t haveover this matter”

Xiang Shaolong can’t help but feel a sense of guilt If he had agreed to Xiao Pan’s request to lead the ar won’t have to e

A pity that this has already become an unalterable fact

A feeling of misfortune welled up in his heart
