Tao Fang saw that Xiang Shaolong cut off Dou Liang's hand tendons and hamstrings without even asking. He acted decisively and aggressively. He really fulfilled his sentence: In society, Brother Long, I am a ruthless person and don't talk much.
Xiang Shaolong began the interrogation in Dou Liang's camp.
Tao Fang looked at it for a while and then discovered something extraordinary about Xiang Shaolong. The questions seemed confusing, but once Dou Liang lied, his flaws would soon be exposed on other questions, leaving him unable to justify himself. After it is confirmed that Dou Liang lied, Xiang Shaolong will torture him. It didn't take long, under the double physical and mental torture, Dou Liang confessed: he colluded with the horse thief Hui Hu, there were about five or six hundred people, and they were going to do something in Dashi Valley.
After confirming that Dou Liang was not lying and that there were no other questions to ask, Xiang Shaolong stopped talking nonsense and stabbed him to death with a sword.
Tao Fang got the information he wanted and felt relieved. He felt better and thought to himself: "This Xiang Shaolong is really capable. He is not like an ordinary villager. He is as cunning as a fox and ruthless. Let’s try to win over him.”
So he said to Xiang Shaolong: "Brother Xiang is very good. It will be much easier to deal with it if you know the specific plan of the other party. Tomorrow we will carefully plan the countermeasures. Brother Xiang, the quality of the women we bought this time is very good. Xiang Brother, I’ll pick a few out and bring them back to my tent tonight, so don’t be embarrassed.”
Xiang Shaolong knew that he was trying to win over him, but he still shook his head and said: "Now that we know their plan, without further delay, I suggest that we set off overnight and change our route. If things are too late, things will change. It is better to return to HD as soon as possible." good."
When Tao Fang heard this, he felt it made sense and safety came first. When I return to HD, I have plenty of time to lead him to have fun, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to conquer this person.
So, he immediately broke camp, took all the goods, horses and women, and set off in a hurry under the cover of night. Along the way, Tao Fang changed his route several times, and it took him about a month to finally reach HD safely.
As soon as they arrived in HD, they heard that King Yan was pleased to send 600,000 troops to attack the State of Zhao, and they were about to attack HD. Yan's attack is nothing to worry about. Although Zhao's national power has declined significantly after the Changping War, it is not something that Yan can bully.
I really don’t know what King Yan is thinking. Zhao State is weak, but Yan State’s strength is even worse. He only saw that Zhao State was not as good as before, but he did not see that he had always been a small and low-income country, and he came here to take advantage of it. In addition to catching Zhao Guo off guard at the beginning, he continued to hit HD, which seemed to be very powerful.
However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. There are many famous generals in Zhao State, and the army is constantly conquering, which is far more effective than the army of Yan State. Once Zhao's troops are mobilized, it will be a piece of cake to repel the Yan people.
Moreover, Xiang Shaolong knew that in this war, Lian Po commanded 80,000 troops, Le Cheng commanded 50,000 troops, and won a complete victory with 130,000 against 600,000, and even directly invaded the territory of Yan State. This war between Yan and Zhao lasted for four years and lasted until 246 BC. If Zhao had not faced the pressure from Qin, Yan might have been destroyed directly. In the end, the war ended with Yan ceding five cities.
However, what Xiang Shaolong was worried about was that it was this time that the Yan people besieged HD. In the end, even the children were caught on top of the city to participate in the defense. The real Qin Shihuang died under the arrows of this siege, but in the end, Zhao Pan, a rogue boy in HD City, picked up the biggest fruit and enjoyed the reputation of the emperor through the ages.
Xiang Shaolong's most urgent priority right now is to find the real Qin Shihuang and rescue him before he is captured, so as not to find someone else to replace him.
Although the feeling of manipulating history like a raccoon cat for a prince is very satisfying, the consequences are endless. Everyone who knows the past of the fake Qin Shihuang will not end well.
Sometimes Xiang Shaolong can't help but think: "Why can't I just travel back in time and become the First Emperor of Qin, or the kings of several other countries? Maybe I can also rule the world and be praised for eternity. Or maybe I can travel back in time a few years earlier, so that I can have Plenty of time to prepare.”
Fortunately, the Yan people have not yet reached HD, and their children will not be allowed to participate in the defense until the end of the siege. There is still time to find the real Qin Shihuang.
Xiang Shaolong and Tao Fang first went to see Wushiluo, the world-famous livestock king.
The city of HD is very large, the moat is deep and wide, the city walls are high and thick, and there is only one man to guard the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it. The pedestrian scenery in the city, such as the Yuyu Qiong Tower, were not for the appearance of many women and few men. It would have been hard to realize that this prosperous metropolis had experienced war and was occupied by the Wei people for two full years. According to Tao Fang, there were nearly 100,000 households in the city, excluding the army, with each household containing more than a dozen to several hundred people. Based on this calculation, the city had more than one million people. The city is dotted with pastures, farmland and warehouses. It is conceivable that if the enemy besieges the city, the city can still be self-sufficient for a long time.
Wushi Mansion is the most magnificent mansion in the north of the city, but it would be more appropriate to call it a castle. It is surrounded by high and thick walls, and water is diverted to form a river. The only passage to and from is a large suspension bridge. The surrounding area is full of gardens and there are no residential buildings. It is majestic and even better than the princes.
Xiang Shaolong followed Tao Fang through the suspension bridge and the side door into the vast world of Wushi Castle.
After entering the main entrance, there is a huge training ground that can accommodate thousands of people practicing together. A huge mansion with a variety of features stands on the other end facing the main entrance. There are continuous houses on the left and right. It seems that one day is not enough to visit these places. .
Tao Fang first asked his subordinates to arrange accommodation for Xiang Shaolong, then went to Wu Shiluo to report the situation of the trip alone, and recommended Xiang Shaolong to Wu Shiluo.
Wu Shiluo listened to Tao Fang's report in detail and didn't take it seriously that Xiang Shaolong could defeat Dou Liang with one move. As a super rich man who can control the economic lifeline of a country, he has countless talented people under his command, and his military strength is superior to that of Dou Liang. This kind of ability makes him a high-level thug.
But the methods shown by Xiang Shaolong when interrogating Dou Liang had to be taken seriously by Wu Shiluo. Moreover, the caravan was able to return safely this time. Although it took a little longer than expected, it did not suffer any losses. This should also be attributed to Xiang Shaolong's vigilance against danger. Along the way, Xiang Shaolong's performance didn't look like a simple martial artist. Can a person who has never left Sanglin Village have such ability? I'm afraid he is not as simple as Tao Fang said.
Wu Shiluo thought more deeply than Tao Fang. Tao Fang just wanted to subdue this person and help him consolidate his position in the Wu family. But Wu Shiluo wondered whether this young dragon would be detrimental to the Wu family, and whether it was sent by an enemy. Now it seems that this young dragon is indeed a talent. He wants to use it, but he cannot reuse it until he fully understands him. There is no harm in meeting him.
Xiang Shaolong rested for the night and went with Tao Fang to visit Wushi Luo the next day. In the side hall, I saw Wu Shiluo, a super rich man who did not have the name of a prince, but had the status of a prince. He controlled the economic lifeline of Zhao State and started his career in animal husbandry.
Xiang Shaolong has never seen anyone more extravagant than him. But the high crown on the top of the head is embedded with two rows of twelve purple gems of similar sizes, which are shining brightly. She has a fat body, like a mountain of flesh. The yellow cotton robe on her body is wrapped with dazzling pearls. She is luxurious and noble. The belt around her waist is shining with gold foil and silver, reflecting each other. The sleeping area was on a platform with three floors above. Under the steps, eighteen warriors were lined up on both sides. Just looking at the momentum would be enough to frighten the faint of heart.
Xiang Shaolong and Tao Fang stepped forward to salute, and Wu Shiluo's slender eyes shot two sharp glances, falling on Xiang Shaolong. Only when you really see Xiang Shaolong can you feel how tall he is. After looking at him for a while, he said: "Xiang Shaolong, a person who has never left Sanglin Village, is not surprising that he has some martial arts. But he is proficient in interrogation. Your skills, decisiveness and resourcefulness are far superior to those of my wandering men. Is there really anyone who knows this from birth? How can you make me believe in your origins and that you have no ill intentions towards our Wu family?"
Tao Fang was stunned. Just as he was about to step forward and speak, Wu Shiluo waved his hand and blocked him.
Xiang Shaolong thought for a while and said: "I can't prove anything. I have never been out of Sanglin Village. My abilities are not born with me. My mother is from Sanglin Village, but my father is a Qin soldier who lives here. I wanted to avoid the war, so I did not return to Qin to continue serving as a soldier, but stayed. I learned all my skills from my father, but now that all my relatives are dead, I was not willing to let all my skills be buried in the fields, so I wanted to come to HD to try my luck. Since Uncle Wu can’t trust me, I just leave.”
Although the Wu family is strong and can be of great help to him, the real big brother he wants to embrace in HD is Qin Shihuang. Everything else is to help achieve this goal. If the Wu family can't do it, he should join other families. The strength of HD iron smelting king Guo Zong is inferior to that of Wushi Luo, not to mention the powerful Julu Hou Zhao Mu. Zhu Ji was in the hands of Marquis Julu and took refuge with Zhao Mu. It would be more convenient to save people. As for whether Zhao Mu is loyal or traitorous, a villain or a gentleman, he doesn't consider it at all. In short, he has only one boss, and that is Qin Shihuang.
The Wu family originally had Qin blood, which also caused him to not be fully trusted in Zhao State, so Wu Shiluo did not reject the fact that Xiang Shaolong had Qin blood, but he still continued to ask: "Humph! If a Qin soldier can have this ability, then Qin will be able to dominate the world."
Xiang Shaolong thought to himself: "Of course Qin can dominate the world, otherwise why would I come here to save Qin Shihuang and be a stepping stone to enter Qin." But he insisted on only saying that his father was a Qin soldier and nothing else.
Wu Shiluo thought to himself: "If what he said is true, then his father must not be an ordinary soldier. He may not have told his son for some unknown reason. In short, this Xiang Shaolong is a talent. You can't let him leave the Wu family just because of some unsubstantiated speculation. Just stay here for now and don't let him get involved in the core matters. Let's observe him for a while and then talk about it."
