Goddess Qin blushed slightly when she heard Xiang Shaolong say that she missed him in her heart.
Xiang Shaolong has indeed entered Qin Qing's heart. In the past three years, Xiang Shaolong has been writing about his son's career at the border, and at the same time recounting the love between his son and daughter in his correspondence. This time, he was not afraid of hardships and dangers, went on a mission to the enemy's country, and served his country loyally. How could he not make his heart move?
Qin Qing said: "Master Xiang, please be more careful during this trip."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Don't worry, Master Qin."
Prince Zheng smiled strangely and said: "I am also very worried about Taifu Xiang, why don't you let me feel relieved too?"
Xiang Shaolong and Qin Qing both blushed. Xiang Shaolong quickly said: "Prince, please don't worry!"
Prince Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'm at ease. When Taifu Xiang comes back, I will personally ask my father for credit for Taifu Xiang."
Xiang Shaolong returned to the mansion, packed his gear, and planned to set off as soon as possible.
Suddenly a guard came to report: "General, there is a suspicious person spying on the general's mansion."
Xiang Shaolong was stunned. He had not returned to Xianyang in the past three years. Why was there someone spying on him as soon as he came back? An enemy spy? Or a political enemy of the country? Lu Buwei is the most suspicious.
Xiang Shaolong didn't even guess and ordered: "Find out the person behind the scenes."
The guards around Xiang Shaolong now have been specially trained by him and have experienced hundreds of battles in the northern border. They are the elite among the elite. After explaining, he will ignore them.
The next day, the guard reported: "The people behind the scenes are hiding in Zuifeng Tower, and it's not just us. We found that they are also monitoring the residences of other important ministers?"
Xiang Shaolong thought for a while and asked, "What about Lu Xiangguo's mansion?"
The guard replied: "There are also people watching."
Xiang Shaolong thought to himself: "Isn't it Lu Buwei's people? In this situation, I'm afraid it can only come from the enemy country." There is no need to guess who it is, just go and meet him for a while and you will be fine.
Xiang Shaolong didn't bring many people with him, so he took five guards to look for people. What danger could there be in Xianyang? Zui Feng Tower is a high-end brothel. As soon as Xiang Shaolong came in, someone greeted him.
Although Xiang Shaolong is a first-class dignitary, he has never been here since he was young in Xianyang, so no one recognizes him. But looking at his extraordinary appearance and the presence of tiger and wolf guards beside him, he looked unusual.
The old bustard greeted Xiang Shaolong with his keen eyesight, and with a smile on his face, he said: "This old man is very discerning. Is there a girl you want to find?" After that, he went to Xiang Shaolong. Depend on.
The guard stretched out his hand to stop him. Xiang Shaolong smiled gently and said, "I'm here to find someone." He took out a piece of silver and handed it over.
The madam was stunned and wanted to stop him. The people who came to Zui Feng Tower were all noble people, and they had no backing. I didn't know if this person had any malicious intentions, so I had to ask him clearly.
The guard shouted: "Bold! How can you stop our general from doing something?"
Xiang Shaolong walked straight in without stopping. Seeing this situation, the madam didn't dare to stop him, so he turned around and went to find the boss.
The guards led Xiang Shaolong outside a room and signaled that the person was inside.
Xiang Shaolong knocked on the door and said, "Xiang Shaolong, hello."
The room was quiet, and Xiang Shaolong was not in a hurry. There were so many people here, and they dared to spy on many important officials of the Qin Dynasty. It would be too shameless to be scared away by just one word.
After a while, the door opened, and it was a man with a beautiful appearance who opened the door. He is half a head shorter than Xiang Shaolong. He has a slender figure, well-proportioned bones, and smoother skin than a woman. He has a pair of affectionate phoenix eyes. He is wearing a dark green warrior uniform with embroidered patterns and a long sword hanging from his waist. Charming and heroic.
Xiang Shaolong has never seen such a beautiful man. This is a face that will eclipse all the young talents and popular celebrities in the future, and a face that will make all women jealous.
This man invited Xiang Shaolong into the house. Xiang Shaolong waved his hand and asked the guards to wait outside.
After the two sat down, the man said: "General Xiang is so powerful. He just returned to Xianyang and found the slave family. The slave family is Lord Longyang under the command of King Wei."
Xiang Shaolong suddenly realized that there were not many people in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, who could have such a handsome man.
Xiang Shaolong asked: "The two countries are at war, why do you come to Xianyang?"
Lord Longyang said: "Because of the war between the two countries, our prince Zeng stayed in Xianyang and wanted to rescue him."
Xiang Shaolong's heart moved: "Why did I forget about Wei's proton? This crown prince should be the next king of Wei, King Wei Jingmin. No wonder he came to Xianyang despite the tense war. This is a good opportunity. , we want to cease the war anyway, and you are here to help us."
Xiang Shaolong nodded and asked, "Did your Majesty gain anything?"
Long Yangjun heard that Xiang Shaolong's tone was like a friend chatting, and he didn't mean any hostility. He felt that there was a way to save people.
This Lord Longyang is not only famous for being the first homosexual recorded in official history. He is also an excellent swordsman and highly sensitive to politics. He has completed many missions to other countries for King Wei Anli, so he became the king of Wei. Trust him and give him the important task of rescuing the prince.
Long Yangjun said: "I haven't thought of a way to rescue him yet. General Xiang, Prince Zeng is just a child with a yellow mouth, and the commander of the front line is Young Master Wuji. Killing him will be of no use to the war, but it will only vent his anger. General Xiang, please think again."
Xiang Shaolong said: "We, the Qin Dynasty, don't even bother to use a young son to vent our anger. I wonder what your Majesty thinks of the war? Do you want to continue the war?"
Long Yangjun said: "General Xiang wants to stop the war? This war was started by Qin State, and now Master Wuji leads the coalition to a great victory. Qin State can no longer stop it if it wants to."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter who started this battle. It's understandable that Young Master Wuji wants to continue. I just don't know if King Wei also wants Young Master Wuji to continue."
There is no need to hit the drum with a heavy hammer. The feud between King Wei and Lord Xinling is known all over the world. When Lord Xinling stole the Tiger Talisman to save Zhao, he stayed in Zhao for ten years and did not dare to return to Wei. There was no need to stir up trouble between the two of them.
Long Yangjun was silent, Li'er was like this, but since Qin proposed a ceasefire, he didn't need to express his position first.
Xiang Shaolong knew that he had to come up with something if he wanted to cease the war. He couldn't just talk empty words like this. He continued: "I can persuade the king to let Prince Zeng go. I also intend to go to your country as an envoy. The war is over. It’s almost time to divide the spoils.”
Long Yangjun was startled and said: "Will General Xiang go on a mission to Wei at this time?
Xiang Shaolong said: "That's right. Your Majesty dares to come to Xianyang, so why don't I dare to go to Wei State?"
Long Yangjun said: "General Xiang is so brave. If we can persuade the King of Qin to release Prince Zeng, the Nu family is willing to facilitate the general's mission." His main task is to rescue the Prince. If he can get the Prince back intact, it will be a great achievement. pieces. As for the battle on the front line, Lord Xinling is his enemy. Why would he not do so if he creates obstacles for him?
Xiang Shaolong said: "I can convince your Majesty. Besides, we can fight when it's time to fight. You can make friends if you don't want to fight. Who said we will always be enemies?"
Long Yangjun said: "What General Xiang said is true. I don't know when the general plans to set off, so that I can repay my king."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Let's set off as soon as possible. I can't let you be busy in vain. I plan to hand over all the paper business in Wei State in the future of Great Qin to you. You will be the general agent of Wei State."
Long Yangjun was overjoyed. In recent years, although the paper produced by the Qin State was cheap, it had become popular all over the world. The Qin State had made huge profits. If he had a hand in it, he would be rich in wealth in the future. He suddenly became enthusiastic about Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong said goodbye and went to see King Qin. As soon as he went out, he saw a middle-aged man in rich clothes walking quickly towards him. He said to Xiang Shaolong: "This little man Wu Fu is the boss of Zuixian Tower. I don't know." The general is here, what orders do you have?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "I won't bother you anymore, Boss Wu. I've finished my work and I'll take my leave." Without stopping, he left directly surrounded by the guards. Wu Fu wanted to move forward and continue talking, but he had no chance. He could only look at Xiang Shaolong's back blankly.
Xiang Shaolong went directly to the palace to see the King of Qin and reported the meeting with Lord Long Yang to the King of Qin.
The King of Qin said: "It doesn't matter if we let Prince Zeng go. As long as the coalition forces withdraw and let Lord Long Yang act as the agent for the entire Wei Kingdom's paper business, won't our losses be too great?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty, how can money buy this Lord Longyang to be able to speak for our Great Qin in the future? He is not on good terms with Lord Xinling, and he has the favor of the King of Wei. He is an important weapon against Lord Xinling." . In fact, it’s not just Wei, I also want to find people in other countries who can influence the kings of various countries as agents. With the protection of powerful people in various countries, our business will only become bigger and stronger, and we will gain more profits."
If a multinational company wants to do well, how can it do so without the participation of local people?
King Qin didn't understand business very well, but he admired his method of bribing important ministers from various countries and asked: "Who does Shaolong belong to in other countries?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "These things are not urgent. The treasure is in our hands, so there is no need to rush it."
The King of Qin said: "Yes, according to Shaolong, you will take Prince Zeng as an envoy to the State of Wei. The difficult matter that the ministers have been arguing about for many days can be solved without any effort in Shaolong's hands. Shaolong's talent Not only on the battlefield, but also in this court. Now that Lord Yangquan is dead and the position of left prime minister is vacant, it will be left to Shaolong to serve as left prime minister."
Xiang Shaolong asked: "Did your Majesty give the death to Lord Yangquan?"
King Qin said: "It was Lu Xiangguo's subordinates. How could Lord Yangquan be Lu Xiangguo's opponent? Now Lu Xiangguo is becoming more and more powerful, aggressive in character, and adventurous. He was the one who strongly advocated the dispatch of troops this time, but now he wants Shaolong to go." Relieve the siege." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. It seemed that King Qin and Lu Buwei had begun to have conflicts.
Xiang Shaolong knew that King Qin would die this year historically, and judging from his current mental state, it didn't look like he was sick.
After the death of the King of Qin, the prince became young, and Lu Buwei lost power in the government. The political struggle that followed was dangerous and cunning, and Xiang Shaolong's abilities would probably be difficult to handle. He really didn't want King Qin to die early. With King Qin here, he could still suppress Lu Buwei, and with the support of the military, he should be able to survive until the prince came of age.
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but remind King Qin: "This time we sent troops, we won a lot, and it's not wrong. Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is young, please take care of your health, and be more careful about your diet and daily life in the future. If something happens to your Majesty, , I’m afraid that the general will not be the country!”
