Xiang Shaolong couldn't go empty-handed yet, so after much thought, he made a pure gold plaque with the words "I wish to be a winged bird in the sky, and a branch on earth."
Li Si is known as the "originator of calligraphy", and the famous seal script tablet "Yishan Stele" is Li Si's masterpiece. Therefore, this poem was naturally written by Li Si. If it is passed down to future generations, it must be worth thousands of gold.
As soon as Xiang Shaolong's poem came out, he immediately fascinated talented women like Qin Qing and Ji Yanran, not to mention Wu Tingfang and Shu'er. But seeing him turn around and make a solid gold plaque, the smell of copper hit his face. No matter how beautiful the poem was, he couldn't cover up his nouveau riche temperament. They all shook their heads and smiled bitterly, actually doing something inelegant and vulgar. thing.
Xiang Shaolong was also helpless and wanted to be arty, but in this era there were not many famous people with calligraphy and painting, literature and antiques. Simply giving gold and silver felt too vulgar. Giving real estate or business without the friendship, so in the end he had to give gold letters.
Goddess Qin and Ji Cainv did not let him go. After giving away such a good poem, they also wanted a poem of their own. Wu Tingfang and Shu Er immediately agreed, no one could be missing.
Xiang Shaolong shouted: "These poems are all obtained by chance by good hands, there is no way they were written specially."
"A wonderful hand comes by chance" exemplifies the essence of writing poetry, and the girls will not let him go.
Xiang Shaolong asked helplessly: "Which one of you will come first?"
Everyone pushed Shu'er out first. Logically speaking, Shu'er had the lowest status among the girls, and there was nothing she could do to help Xiang Shaolong. But she has been with Xiang Shaolong for the longest time, and Xiang Shaolong loves him extremely. The other girls are also afraid that she will feel inferior. They always consider her feelings first in everything, and she always goes to good things first.
Shu'er also knew that it was all the sisters who gave in, and she was grateful, but she did not refuse and said, "Okay, then I'll come first."
Xiang Shaolong thought for a while and said: "When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will defeat countless people in the world." The girls applauded.
The second person to be pushed out was Ji Yanran. She had not officially passed the exam yet, but Ji Cainv acted like a domineering female CEO and didn't care about these mundane things at all.
Xiang Shaolong said: "As the clothes get wider and wider, I will never regret it. It makes people haggard because of Yi."
Qin Qing teased and said: "Fortunately, you came back in time, otherwise our Lord Xiang would be haggard and reduced to a handful of bones. Fang'er, come here." Qin Qing is now vaguely the leader of the girls. Usually when something happens, she will is the last.
Xiang Shaolong said to Wu Tingfang: "There was a time when the sea was difficult to deal with, except for Wushan, it was not cloud." Wu Tingfang smiled happily and pushed Qin Qing out.
Qin Qing looked at Xiang Shaolong with a smile.
Xiang Shaolong said: "I don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but I have a clear mind."
Seeing that the girls were satisfied, Xiang Shaolong wiped his sweat.
When Lu Buwei married his daughter, the scene was no different than when Xiang Shaolong married Qin Qing. They were both top bosses in Xianyang City.
Lu Buwei went out to greet Xiang Shaolong in person, with a smile on his face, as if there had been no conflict between the two.
Xiang Shaolong met Lao Ai and Han Jie and saw the undisguised hatred in their eyes.
Xiang Shaolong smiled disdainfully, although he castrated them, it was equivalent to saving them, otherwise they might die without a burial place in the future.
Guan Zhongxie is a radiant groom. He married Lu Buwei's daughter Lu Rongniang. He and Lu Buwei have become a family. Lu Buwei will definitely support him even more in the future.
Seeing Xiang Shaolong, Guan Zhongxie immediately came up to him and said, "It's a humble honor for Mr. Xiang to come. Mr. Xiang must have a few more drinks today."
Xiang Shaolong smiled faintly and said: "Master Guan has embraced the beauty, and with your talents, I will fully assist Mr. Lu. Your future will be limitless, and I also wish Master Guan a prosperous future."
Guan Zhongxie toasted quickly and thanked him repeatedly. Now he doesn't dare to have the slightest intention of challenging Xiang Shaolong, and the gap in status is getting wider and wider. At first, I thought I could catch up, but now, even Lu Buwei is lining up behind him, and I am no longer on the same level as him.
Xiang Shaolong looked at Lao Ai and Han Jie in the distance, and casually said to Guan Zhongxie: "Lao Ai and Han Jie hate me a lot."
Guan Zhongxie was shocked and hurriedly bowed to explain. Xiang Shaolong waved his hand and said: "Master Guan, don't be nervous. I am not here to cause trouble, and they are not worthy of my trouble. Although Master Guan belongs to Mr. Lu, You may have a different path from me, but I cherish Mr. Guan’s talent. As long as Mr. Guan serves our Great Qin wholeheartedly, he will be a great general who will open up territory and make great achievements for our Great Qin. Don’t destroy it for these two bastards. It's your own future. These two bastards should be left to fend for themselves. Living will only harm others." He shook his head and walked away.
Guan Zhongxie's face turned blue and white for a while. He was secretly annoyed by Xiang Shaolong's rudeness, but he also felt that his words were right. These two people want revenge. If something happens to them, they must not implicate themselves. We have no friendship. He should also remind Lu Buwei not to offend Xiang Shaolong again because of these two losers. Now I no longer have any hope that Lu Buwei can defeat Xiang Shaolong.
Brother Changping Jun also came. When he saw Xiang Shaolong, he complained: "My eldest sister has almost emptied the family's fortune. When will your training be a leader? Otherwise, you should ask the king for military pay now."
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Don't worry, your family is rich and you can still bear it."
Changping Jun said anxiously: "Are you really planning to let her ruin our family?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "What you lost is just a little money, but what you get back is the sincere gratitude of those girls. It's worth it."
Changping Jun said: "What's it worth? I just want money." Originally, a noble man like Changping Jun looked down on money the most. He spent a lot of money on it, and he never thought money was important. However, now that my sister is losing money at an alarming rate, I finally feel the loveliness of money.
Xiang Shaolong didn't quite understand the thoughts of these girls. When Qin Qing invested in the printing factory, it might have been determined by his background. He would never be able to do such a thing of losing money and making a profit.
Lu Buwei was really unambiguous about his son-in-law. As soon as he married his daughter, he began to give Guan Zhongxie the opportunity to study and make meritorious services.
Zhao Guo lost Lian Po, which was equivalent to breaking a leg. This was a good opportunity to bully him. Lu Buwei reported to the King of Qin, requesting to send troops to Zhao State, with Meng Ao as the commander-in-chief, and his sons Meng Wu and Guan Zhongxie as the vanguard.
The King of Qin also felt that it would be beneficial to attack Zhao at this time, so he called everyone to discuss it.
This time the opinions were relatively unified, and the military also supported the attack on Zhao State, because war is when soldiers show their value. The difference was only who led the troops, and no one wanted to miss this opportunity.
Lu Buwei came up with the battle plan to win military glory for his son-in-law. How could he let others argue with each other?
King Qin was used to Xiang Shaolong being silent. It seemed that he would not speak unless he asked. He had better take the initiative and asked: "Shaolong, what is your opinion? Who do you think is suitable?"
Everyone looked at Xiang Shaolong: "Does he want to lead the army by himself?"
Xiang Shaolong thought for a while and said, "I don't agree to send troops."
"What? We've been arguing for so long, you don't agree?"
Lu Buwei said: "Zhao has lost Lian Po and its national strength is weakened. It is no match for our Da Qin. It is a good time to send troops now."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Zhao has Lian Po who is no match for our Great Qin. Although Lian Po is gone, Li Mu is still there. He trapped and killed a hundred thousand Xiongnu soldiers, and the north of Zhao will enjoy peace. From now on, he will focus all his energy on I have Da Qin. Attacking Zhao at this time will inevitably lead to a fierce battle, which is not cost-effective."
Lu Buwei was obviously well prepared and said: "We can unite with Yan to attack Zhao. Cai Ze, the newly crowned king, has been the prime minister of Yan for three years. We now have a very good relationship with Yan. They even sent Prince Dan as a hostage." , to show friendship. If we and Yan State attack Zhao State, we will definitely win, just like how we united with Wei to destroy Han." He reminded Xiang Shaolong, you did the same thing back then, what are you still objecting to now?
Xiang Shaolong said: "We attacked South Korea in the past in order to destroy the entire South Korea. Can we destroy Zhao State in this attack on Zhao State?"
Lu Buwei said: "We don't need to completely destroy the Zhao State. We only need to get the land between the rivers. To eliminate the Zhao State, we don't have to rush for a while and can slowly encroach on the Zhao State's land. In this way, our losses will not be great. If the whole country If we go to war, our losses will be too great and other countries will gain."
Lu Buwei felt that he had thought it through very carefully, and the King of Qin and other important civil and military officials nodded in agreement.
Xiang Shaolong said: "I just want to get the Hejian area, but there are only five cities. Why start a war? Just open up and take care of Zhao."
Everyone was confused. Is this talking in sleep? Five cities, if your upper lip touches your lower lip, they will give it to you. Are you handsome?
Lu Buwei felt that Xiang Shaolong was amusing himself and said displeased: "He can give it to us if we ask for it? Why?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Tell him: If you don't give it, we will unite with the Yan State to attack him. If you give it, then he can attack the Yan State. We don't care how much land he gets, and we will not save the Yan State."
Everyone was dumbfounded that he could still do this, and it was a waste of time!
King Qin thought about it and felt that it was very feasible, but he still asked uncertainly: "If we just talk, they can give us five cities?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "I was sent as an envoy to the State of Zhao last year, and I could feel that the State of Zhao was extremely afraid of our country, Qin. As soon as Lian Po left, the first thing Li Mu did after he paid homage to the prime minister was to go as an envoy to our country, Qin. It can be seen that it is not just us who do not The State of Zhao is willing to go to war with the State of Zhao, but the State of Zhao is even less willing to go to war with our Great Qin. With five cities, our Great Qin will be neutral. Li Mu does not have to defend our Great Qin and can attack Yan with all his strength. With his ability, there are not as many cities as he needs. They don’t suffer.”
The generals looked at each other and realized that they had nothing to do.
Lu Buwei secretly hated that Xiang Shaolong's strategy was not very clever. He only wanted to achieve military exploits for his son-in-law, so he didn't think about anything else. It seemed that Xiang Shaolong had interfered with this opportunity again.
