The brothers Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun were the commanders of the imperial guards, and they had a working relationship with Xiang Shaolong's cavalry commander. They were born into a royal family, so they naturally rejected Lu Buwei. Relying on their youth, and whether it was their own will or an assignment, they first extended an olive branch to Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong entertained the two brothers at a newly opened large restaurant in Xianyang - Zuixian Tower.
Originally, these two people wanted to entertain Xiang Shaolong at the Zuifeng Tower, but Xiang Shaolong was not interested in those romantic places. The Zuixian Tower was Wushi's property, not far from the General's Mansion.
In order to make this restaurant famous quickly, Xiang Shaolong came up with more advanced wine-making technology and named it "Xianren Zui". Its signature dishes are "roast duck" and "shabu-shabu mutton". Due to the high price, there is no public consumption at all. They are all private rooms and only make money from the rich.
Lord Changping raised his glass first and said: "It's rare for Lord Xiang to show his respect. We brothers have always admired Lord Xiang's reputation. Since he entered the Qin Dynasty, he has made great achievements in battle. He is really a role model for our generation."
Xiang Shaolong had a drink with the two of them and said: "You two sirs, there is no need to be polite. We are both ministers of Qin, and we are protecting our great Qin country together. You two sirs are from the royal family. We are not outsiders. Just call me by my name." ”
Changping Jun smiled and said: "Well said. We are not outsiders, there is really no need to be so polite. Shaolong is the most powerful in Xianyang City now, and Lu Buwei failed to save his disciples from Shaolong. I forbid him. When the sons of Wei are mentioned as 'Master Zuo Xiang', they all give thumbs up."
The imperial guards were all young masters from royal families, and they looked down upon foreign upstarts like Lu Buwei the most.
Xiang Shaolong said: "I don't want to use such drastic measures against Mr. Lu, but this matter has touched my bottom line. If Mr. Lu hadn't insisted on protecting those two people, there wouldn't have been such a fuss. This is the point.”
Chang Wenjun said: "It's not surprising that Lu Buwei insisted on coming forward. That Lao Ai has special powers and can be regarded as a strange person. He is a famous pretty boy in Xianyang City; and Han Jie is a top swordsman. Besides, if you don't If someone saves him, no one will help him in the future."
Changping Jun smiled and said: "Now if we want to say who has the highest status in the heart of Shaolong, it must be the woman in Xianyang City. Shaolong was not wronged for his wife, and even Lu Buwei was trampled under his feet. If you and I are here today, When you go to Zui Feng Tower, all the girls will definitely run around Shao Long and leave the others aside."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Forget about those jealous places, a lot of right and wrong come from there. This restaurant is my Wushi property. The wine and dishes are specially designed by me and are not available in other places. "
Chang Wenjun smiled and said: "The beautiful wife of Shaolong's family is well-known in Xianyang. No wonder Zui Feng Tower is not attractive."
Changping Jun said: "I said why the wine here is so strong and fragrant. It turns out that it was made by Shaolong. From now on, Xianyang will have another good place to go."
The three of them exchanged cups and cups, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Although Lord Changping and Lord Changwen were members of the royal family, their postures were very low. They flattered Xiang Shaolong in every possible way, and they seemed to regret meeting each other late.
While he was drinking lively, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, mixed with the scolding of a girl. Xiang Shaolong wondered for a while, who dared to make trouble here?
The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and several people walked in.
The store owner seemed to want to stop him but failed. Seeing that they had already broken in, he had no choice but to bow to Xiang Shaolong and quickly wanted to explain, "Uncle..."
Xiang Shaolong waved his hand to let him go out, and then carefully looked at the people who came in.
There were five or six girls. One of them is tall and has a peach-shaped face. He must be no more than eighteen years old. He is dressed in a yellow and white warrior uniform with a long sword hanging from his waist. He looks extremely heroic. The girl next to her is slightly shorter, slender, charming, younger, and slightly cute.
Led by these two people, the remaining girls are also young and beautiful, wearing samurai uniforms and equipped with long swords. They are a group of women's soldiers.
Lord Changping immediately stood up and shouted: "Sister, don't be rude."
Chang Wenjun explained to Xiang Shaolong: "This is my sister Ying Ying, and next to her is Dan'er, the granddaughter of Duke Lu. These are the daughters of wealthy families in Xianyang City. They like to compete with famous men in Xianyang City. , it’s all just kids making fun of it, it’s not malicious.”
Xiang Shaolong knew who these people were as soon as he heard it. They were a group of "white, rich and beautiful" people who had nothing to do all day long and made trouble everywhere. Because they had a strong background and were young and beautiful, the men were very tolerant.
Xiang Shaolong doesn't bother them. Girls should be pampered, pampered and carefree.
Ying Ying said: "This is Mr. Xiang, who is famous in Xianyang. We sisters are here to challenge you."
Xiang Shaolong laughed and said: "Challenge? What challenge?"
Ying Ying said: "Whatever do you think you are better than women, let's compare."
Xiang Shaolong said: "In this case, there is no need to compare. I think I can't compare to women in anything."
Ying Ying was stunned. She didn't expect Xiang Shaolong to admit defeat so simply. He didn't mean to be competitive at all. This was not acting according to the script. She didn't know how to continue.
Changping Jun said: "Eldest sister, please don't mess around. How can you challenge Mr. Xiang's identity? Now that you are here, come and sit down and have a few drinks with eldest brother and Mr. Xiang."
After all, Xiang Shaolong was different from the young masters and rangers they had interacted with before. Although he was not angry at his elder sister's recklessness, they had just met and they had always been lawless. If Xiang Shaolong was really offended, he would not be able to do it for so long. Was all your hard work in vain?
Ying Ying ignored him and continued: "Huh! It's not that easy to pass. Let's compete with swordsmanship first, and then compete with others."
Xiang Shaolong said: "I don't know how to use a sword, and my weapon is not a sword. I just give up. Come, ladies, please take a seat. The food and drinks in this restaurant are not available outside. I will be the host today. Please Ladies, please taste it."
Ying Ying said: "Then use the weapons you are good at. It's not that easy to hide from our sisters."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "I have admired the heroine's martial arts for a long time. I am willing to be inferior, so I ask the heroine to spare me."
Ying Ying was a little impatient with Xiang Shaolong's perfunctory treatment, which meant she was looking down on herself, and snorted: "What a coward! No wonder he wanted to use his status to destroy the boy Han Jie." As soon as these words came out, the air was instantly filled with emotion. Stiff.
Xiang Shaolong was originally smiling and didn't pay attention to the girl's rudeness. Looking at her arrogance was like watching a niece's pranks. He quite liked watching their unreasonable and cute looks, and he was happy to be bullied. , this is the welfare of young and beautiful girls. But when she mentioned "Han Jie", Xiang Shaolong's face immediately turned cold.
Chang Pingjun shouted: "Sister, shut up! This is not a place for you to mess around. Dan'er, please leave quickly. Even if your grandfather is here, he would not dare to speak to Master Xiang like this."
Xiang Shaolong narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know Han Jie? Do you want to avenge him?"
Chang Wenjun quickly apologized and said with a smile: "We are just acquaintances. Sister and the others like to challenge these famous swordsmen, so there is no friendship."
Ying Ying also felt that the atmosphere immediately changed as soon as the word "Han Jie" was spoken. She just saw that Xiang Shaolong had a kind attitude and a smile, and she tried to provoke him by pushing back. She and Han Jie could have a deep friendship. Han Jie was also well-known in Xianyang City, so they naturally wanted to challenge them. Seeing that they had a distinguished status, Han Jie deliberately flattered them, and also wanted to use their status to squeeze into the Qin people's circle, so he behaved gracefully and let them I have a very good impression of Han Jie. As for Han Jie's evil deeds, these noble women would not care about them, but they would not care about avenging him.
She also saw that she seemed to have said the wrong thing, but she had always been proud and was not willing to bow her head and admit her mistake. Instead, she stiffened her neck and said, "I just want to avenge him."
Chang Pingjun was shocked, secretly blaming his eldest sister for not knowing the seriousness of the matter. He wanted to offend Xiang Shaolong to the end by speaking like this. He stood up and yelled: "My eldest sister still can't shut up!"
He turned his head and bowed deeply to Xiang Shaolong and said: "Master Xiang, please don't take the kid's nonsense to heart. Let's stop here today. We brothers will invite Master Xiang another day."
Xiang Shaolong looked at Chang Pingjun's appearance and felt dumb in his heart. Why should he behave like a little girl? "Okay, that's it for today. Let's meet up another day."
Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun took their younger sister and walked out without saying anything. They scolded and said: "Come home with me quickly, Dan'er. You all also need to go home quickly and don't cause trouble everywhere." Secretly hate, have a good dinner, It made them break up unhappy.
Xiang Shaolong looked at their leaving figures and felt that he was becoming sensitive.
Because he knew the original work, he knew the brothers Changping Jun and Changwen Jun relatively well. Although it was the first time they met, he already regarded them as good friends. As for their sister, Xiang Shaolong doesn't like her character, but he also knows that she is not a villain or has any bad intentions. She is just arrogant, simple, and easy to be taken advantage of. To say the least, she really wants to avenge Han Ji. So what.
Xiang Shaolong forgot about this matter in a blink of an eye, because a piece of news reached Xianyang: King Zhao had died, and his posthumous title was King Xiaocheng. The time had already reached 245 BC.
After all, he is the king of a country, and all countries have to send important ministers to express their condolences. The King of Qin summoned his ministers to discuss who should go.
The power of Qin has long been tabooed by the countries in the east. It just joined forces with Wei to destroy South Korea and broke the alliance of the countries. It was at the cusp of the storm. As one of the Three Jins, the State of Zhao was already feeling cold, and the Queen of Zhao was a Korean. Going to the State of Zhao at this time made me shudder just thinking about the danger involved.
There are not many candidates suitable for missions, and their status must be important enough. Military generals are not suitable for such diplomatic missions. Among the civil servants, there are only a few people who are capable of missions, such as Lu Buwei, Cai Ze, and Wang Wan. However, The situation is so tense now, what if I can’t come back?
