"The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court." I still have glory and wealth to enjoy, so I should leave such a dangerous matter to others.
King Qin felt helpless when he saw that none of his ministers were willing to send envoys. Naturally, he knew that going there was quite dangerous, and they were all important officials, so he couldn't name anyone who had to go. He just hoped that someone would come forward. But looking at the situation in front of him, no one is willing to share his worries!
Xiang Shaolong looked at King Qin's resentful eyes and felt that the King of Qin was a bit pitiful. He thought about it for a while and felt that this trip could still be achievable, and there would naturally be risks, but he should be able to turn disaster into good fortune, so he went out to apply and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to go to the Kingdom of Zhao."
When everyone saw that Xiang Shaolong came out again to ask for credit in front of King Qin, they felt awkward in their hearts.
Although everyone doesn't want to take risks themselves, they also don't want Xiang Shaolong to share the king's worries. It would appear that he is incompetent, so it's best for everyone to be a coward. They all cursed secretly in their hearts: "Look at what you can do, it's best to die in Zhao Kingdom."
On the contrary, King Qin was a little reluctant to take risks with Xiang Shaolong. Every time something happened, Xiang Shaolong had to come forward, so what was the use of others? You can't rely on Xiang Shaolong for anything dangerous. King Qin also truly cared for Xiang Shaolong.
Seeing King Qin pondering for a moment, everyone felt even more disgusted: "What's the matter? You are not willing to go to Xiang Shaolong when there is danger. Do you have to let us die to get your feelings? I really hope that Xiang Shaolong will never come back. coming."
Seeing that King Qin remained silent, Xiang Shaolong continued: "Please give me your permission!"
King Qin saw that he really couldn't count on anyone else, so he had to say: "It's all Shaolong's fault. Shaolong stays, and the others leave."
Although others also want to get the opportunity to be alone with King Qin, they have to risk their lives to get such an opportunity. Think about it, forget it, and leave this opportunity to others. But they also don’t think about it. If they can’t share the leader’s worries, how can they get the leader’s appreciation?
King Qin looked at Xiang Shaolong, smiled apologetically, and said: "Shaolong is still the one who can take care of everyone's worries. Every time he encounters such dangerous things, it is Shaolong who stands up."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty, this is what I should do. I still hope that your Majesty can give me arbitrary power when I go to HD this time."
King Qin was stunned. He thought this was a routine business trip. He was originally thinking about how to appease Xiang Shaolong. Unexpectedly, Xiang Shaolong seemed to have other purposes and asked hurriedly: "Shaolong is already worried about this?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "The change of king is such a big event. How many power disputes there are here, and we have to see if it is profitable. It's hard to say exactly, but if you try to find opportunities, you can't let it go in vain."
The King of Qin sighed: "Shaolong really never forgets me about the Qin Dynasty! Okay, just like the last time I went to Wei as an envoy, just come back and report anything."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qin Shihuang swept through the six kingdoms because of the strength of Qin and the great talent and strategy of Qin Shihuang, but another important reason was that the kings of the six kingdoms were not as good as the last, and they were all mediocre. The only one who was okay was Prince Dan of Yan. It is a pity that the national power is weak and it is difficult to sing alone. In the end, it will not escape the fate of being destroyed.
But Xiang Shaolong did not dare to ignore the risks of this trip. There were probably many people at home and abroad who wanted to kill him. It was easy to dodge overt guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows.
Xiang Shaolong is still accompanied by hundreds of fully armed guards, but secretly this time he has sent a thousand soldiers to lurk in HD City in advance, just in case.
Before traveling, Xiang Shaolong was unexpectedly summoned by Queen Ji. At this time, Zhu Ji is different from the original work. She does not have a deep friendship with Xiang Shaolong. To her, Xiang Shaolong is just a resourceful martyr and a tutor to her son. Although she was wild by nature, King Qin was not dead yet and Lao Ai had been castrated, so she should not be able to have so many romantic affairs in the future. The fact that she was looking for her should be related to the fact that she was going to Zhao State.
Xiang Shaolong followed the proper etiquette and when he saw Zhu Ji, he bowed his head and said, "Kowtow to the Queen!"
Zhu Ji said: "Master Xiang is a normal person, so there is no need to be polite. Zhu Ji invites you this time because she has something to ask of Master Xiang."
Xiang Shaolong stood up, lowered his head and said, "I don't dare! Please give me the Queen's orders."
Zhu Ji said: "Master Xiang, can you do Zhu Ji a favor during this trip and bring back Zhao Mu's head?"
Xiang Shaolong suddenly realized that Zhu Jizhi was staying in the Zhao Kingdom. Under the control of Zhao Mu, he was humiliated. When he learned that he was going to HD, he was eager for revenge. He ignored the rudeness and asked Xiang Shaolong directly.
But Zhao Mu is Xiang Shaolong's most important ally in the Zhao Kingdom at this time. Although he despises Zhao Mu's character, the interests are related. The safety of this trip depends more on Zhao Mu, and killing him at this time is also related to himself. The plan doesn't match.
Xiang Shaolong pondered for a moment, then decided to speak directly, saying: "I'm afraid I won't be able to kill Zhao Mu on this mission."
Zhu Ji was a little disappointed when Xiang Shaolong refused directly, and then asked: "What about Lecheng?"
Xiang Shaolong still shook his head.
Zhu Ji was a little angry and frustrated, and she said, "Shouldn't you go out of your way to help me?"
Xiang Shaolong also saw Zhu Ji's shame and anger, and said: "Queen, please calm down. It's hard to predict whether the HD will be good or bad, and the new king of the Zhao Kingdom has succeeded to the throne. The entire HD is heavily guarded, and all forces are on heightened vigilance. I'm afraid it will be difficult." …”
Zhu Ji also heard from King Qin that Xiang Shaolong took a lot of risks when he went to Zhao. She sighed quietly and said, "It is Zhu Ji who is making things difficult for Lord Xiang."
Xiang Shaolong said: "The fate of the Zhao Kingdom being destroyed by our Great Qin cannot be changed. Xiang Shaolong can guarantee that the Queen's enemies will not have a good end. But now is not the time. Once the time is ripe, Xiang Shaolong will surely They were brought before the queen, and the queen decided whether to kill or behead them."
When Zhu Ji heard what Xiang Shaolong said, no matter whether it was true or false, she could no longer continue her request. She could only say: "In that case, I have to pay for it, Lord Xiang. Take care of yourself all the way, Lord Xiang!"
Xiang Shaolong bowed and said, "Thank you, Queen!"
Xiang Shaolong was extra careful on his mission this time. He has finally become an important figure with political enemies and enemies.
Along the way, food, daily living, and security were all in accordance with the standards of the chief’s southern tour. Even for allies like Wei, we cannot be completely reassured. The one most likely to rob and kill him is this ally - Wei State.
The person who hates me the most should be the Korean Queen Zhao, Han Jing, who is now the Queen Mother. But the one least likely to take his own life is Zhao Guo.
If he dies on the land of Zhao, no matter who kills him, he will give Qin an excuse to attack Zhao. Since the Battle of Changping, the State of Zhao has long lost the ability to fight against the State of Qin independently. Although it has famous generals, it can only spread anger on the State of Yan. Therefore, Zhao Guoguo strives to ensure his own safety.
Wei is the most likely to kill itself. Once he dies, Qin will have one less general, reducing the threat from the west. At the same time, it can unite Qin to destroy Zhao again, which is equivalent to the unification of the three Jins in disguise. Later, due to the great power of the Qin State, they organized another alliance to defeat the Qin State. Since they were closest to the Qin State and could benefit the most, they might be able to regain the entire territory of Zhao and Han. Then the Wei State would In one fell swoop, it became the most powerful country in the world.
As for the other countries, most of them probably don't want to die. Xiang Shaolong's reputation is enough to frighten the world. It just depends on how much effort they can make to kill him.
Before Xiang Shaolong left the Qin Kingdom, he received news from the Wu family: The journey would not be peaceful this time, and there would be horse thieves coming to rob and kill Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong is good at using spies. Although it is more expensive, it can reduce personnel losses.
Xiang Shaolong has always believed that population is the greatest wealth in this era, not just talents, but everyone is precious. If you can lose less of your own people, it will be worth whatever you spend.
In recent years, he has dispatched many elites from the Wu family to lurk among various forces. They usually deliver news to the Wu family, and they will be more effective in the war to destroy the country in the future.
A large part of the credit for South Korea's demise was attributed to the spies sent by Xiang Shaolong.
The news from the Wu family stated that some of the most ferocious horse thieves in Wei and Zhao would attack Xiang Shaolong. Among them, the biggest group is called Hui Hu. When Xiang Shaolong first met Tao Fang, he colluded with Tao Fang's deputy Dou Liang to rob the Wu family. This group of horse thieves now numbers more than a thousand people. The Wu family has always suspected that several groups of horse thieves in Zhao territory were supported by the King of Wei in order to weaken Zhao's national power. Therefore, they would flee into Wei territory for refuge whenever the situation was critical. There is an undercover agent of the Wu family in Huihu. It seems that Wei Guo wants to fish in troubled waters and become his own person.
Xiang Shaolong does not hate Wei as an ally. There is no friendship between countries, only interests. He himself has no good intentions in forming an alliance with them. It can be said that Xiang Shaolong has ulterior motives for all his allies, including Long Yangjun, Zhao Mu, and Li Yuan, in order to destroy their countries in the future.
Now that you know it, just take strict precautions. With the hundreds of guards under his command, and with deliberate preparation, if he wanted to keep him, he would have to mobilize a large number of regular troops. It would be wishful thinking to rely on a mob like horse thieves. What's more, there are also ghosts from the Wu family among the horse thieves. If they cooperate well, they can directly destroy this group of horse thieves.
Once you enter the Zhao Kingdom, it is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Wei. It is the "Golden Triangle" of this era. Horse thieves are rampant and the chaos is very chaotic. It is a good place to rob homes, steal goods, and seek wealth and death.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, the sky is full of murders and arson. The quiet camp is heavily guarded, with patrols and guard changes in an orderly manner. These hundreds of guards are well-trained and sleep in their clothes. If there is any disturbance, they can immediately assemble and fight back. Moreover, the scouts will expand the search area to five miles around the camp. .
At this time, Xiang Shaolong's camp was completely silent. All the guards were lying in ambush in the dense forest outside the camp, with their bows and crossbows cocked, quietly waiting for the horse thieves to come.
A group of nearly a thousand horse thieves sneaked into the camp quietly under the faint moonlight, their horses' hooves wrapped in thick cloth.
