Ji Yanran smiled charmingly and said, "Then Yanran might have deliberately not said it in order to enjoy her husband's favor."

Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but fall in love with her again, enjoying the pleasure of both men and women.

After a long time, the talented woman finally found an opportunity and gasped: "I came here to tell you good news. What you were worried about was only half done. Empress Jing did ask Lord Xinling to kill Zhao Ya, but Lord Xinling did not."

He refused to agree and went to Qi State. He was so angry that Empress Jing accepted the Yan people's agreement to cut off five cities for peace, and then Yi Lian captured Fanyang in Wei. Do you think Empress Jing was suicidal? She lost thirty

Seven cities, but also went to war with the Wei people."

Xiang Shaolong said happily: "So, Lord Xinling really treats Ya'er sincerely."

Ji Yanran said: "That should be the case, otherwise how could Madam Ya let you go, Xiang Lang? Alas, this is all Madam's heart. She had betrayed the Wu family, so she was afraid to come to Xianyang to face the Wu family.

She has cried bitterly over this matter many times. She knows it best, but she doesn’t dare to tell you anymore.”

Xiang Shaolong felt a little better, at least Zhao Ya's change of mind was not due to her watery nature.

Ji Yanran continued: "Of course Lu Buwei did not give up this opportunity for Zhao and Wei to become enemies. He immediately sent the Mongolian generals to invade the Wei territory, compete for profits and spoils, and captured Wei's Gaodu and Jixian. Unfortunately, he was too ambitious.

At the same time, Wang Ling was ordered to attack the Shangdang of the Zhao people and force Wei and Zhao to turn thousands of wars into jade and silk. I think that with the reputation of Lord Xinling, he will be able to instigate another alliance among the six countries."

Xiang Shaolong said puzzledly: "I still don't understand why Lu Buwei is so eager to attack Zhao. When I returned to Xianyang that day, he also said that he would send troops to Korea and Zhao at the same time. In the end, he only attacked Zhao and spared Korea. It's really embarrassing.

untie."

Ji Yanran smiled and said: "Why did my husband suddenly become stupid? This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Empress Jing is Korean. Now that the Zhao Kingdom has great power, it may merge with South Korea and become a new powerful kingdom. Lu Buwei

How could such a thing be allowed to happen, so he attacked the State of Zhao fiercely in order to weaken the strength of the Zhao people. At the same time, King Xiaocheng was newly mourned, Li Mu was strong in the north to defend the Huns, and Lian Po was at war with the Yan people. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could Lu Buwei accept it?

Let it go."

Xiang Shaolong slapped his forehead and said: "My brain is indeed not as good as that of Shang Ji Cai Nu. Maybe this is Empress Ji's intention. She and the king hate the Zhao people the most, why would they take such a breath."

Ji Yanran said: "Victory is the easiest thing to go to people's heads. If the six countries join forces, Lu Buwei is afraid that he will suffer a big loss. Then he will think of Xiang Lang's benefits again."

Xiang Shaolong looked at the snow powder flying in the sky, and the tragic scene of the Six Nations Allied Forces fighting against the Qin people came to mind.

As winter turned to spring, Xiang Shaolong was frightened every day, fearing to hear the news that King Zhuang Xiang suddenly died of illness. According to historical facts, he died of illness three years after he ascended the throne, and it has been three full years now.

On this day, Wu Yingyuan and Wu Zhuo rushed back from Beiqiang. When they arrived at the ranch, they met with Teng Yi, Jing Jun, Pu Bu, Liu Chao, Wu Guo and Shaolong, the leaders of the Wu family, who had just returned from Guanzhong to buy goods.

Wu Tingwei of Wu Yingyuan also participated in this meeting. In addition to Tao Fang who wanted to stay in Xianyang to inquire about the news, there were also Wu Yingyuan's two brothers, Wu Yingjie and Wu Ying'en. Important figures in the Wu family can be said

Almost there.

Everyone knows that Wu Yingyuan has something very important to announce.

After taking seats in the hall, the doors and windows were closed, and the outside was strictly guarded by the family general.

Wu Yingyuan, the leader of the clan, sighed and said, "Wu Zhuo has told me about Shaolong and Lu Buwei. Don't blame Shaolong. Your eldest brother must listen to me as a parent."

Wu Zhuo made a helpless expression to Xiang Shaolong.

U Tin Wei and other people directly related to the matter all had gloomy expressions on their faces, showing that they had heard about this incident.

Strictly speaking, Xiang Shaolong, Teng Yi and others are still outsiders, but because Xiang Shao joined the Wu family, Teng Yi, Jing Jun and Wu Zhuo became brothers, and they also made great achievements, so they are regarded as members of the Wu family.

Pubu and Liu Chao are the leader-level generals, and their status is similar to that of Wu Guo.

Wu Yingyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Our Wu family has strong horses and is good at herding, so it is inevitable that people will be jealous. I thought that after arriving in the Qin Dynasty, because we have the same roots, we can live in peace and harmony, but we did not know that we met a foreigner like Lu Buwei.

, what is especially hateful is that we were loyal to him and made great contributions to him, but we did not know that what we got in exchange was a ruthless frame-up. If Shaolong had not been a hero, he would have died tragically beside Luohe. My late father had

It is said that those who cannot defeat the enemy can only avoid it."

Wu Yingjie said: "The most powerful country is none other than Great Qin. Where else can we stay?"

Wu Ying'en also said: "Even in the six countries, no one dares to take me in, and no one wants to give Lu Buwei an excuse to send troops."

Wu Tingwei, who had always been at odds with Xiang Shaolong, said: "Lu Buwei is only targeting Xiang Shaolong and not us, the Wu tribe. For the sake of the overall situation, it is not as good as..."

Wu Yingyuan's face darkened and he said angrily: "Shut up."

Xiang Shaolong and Wu Zhuo looked at each other and both felt the truth behind these two sentences.

Wu Tingwei still didn't know what to do and protested: "I just said that Xiang Shaolong can temporarily hide away from the distance, it's not..."

Wu Yingyuan flew into a rage, clapped his hands and yelled: "Having a son like you who is so heartless and short-sighted as a mouse is truly a shame to me, Wu Yingyuan. Get out of here, if you still don't know how to reflect on your own mistakes."

, you will no longer be eligible to participate in the Clan Association from now on."

Wu Tingwei's expression changed several times, and finally he glared at Xiang Shaolong fiercely and left angrily.

There was an awkward silence in the hall.

Wu Yingjie and Wu Yingen frowned deeply. Although they did not speak, they obviously did not agree with Wu Yingyuan's rejection of Wu Tingwei's proposal.

Xiang Shaolong is deeply upset. His biggest support comes from the Wu family. If this foundation is shaken, he will no longer have the capital.

With his character, if Xiaopan hadn't been worried about him, he would have automatically accepted the offer to leave Qin, but of course he couldn't do that now.

Wu Zhuo broke the stalemate and said: "The eldest young master and I are going to Beiqiang this time just to explore the situation outside the Great Wall. We found that there is a world like no other. The fertile plains are thousands of miles away and there is not even a trace of human beings. If we can go there to open up wasteland for business,

, we will surely be able to build our kingdom, and we no longer need to depend on others like we do now. We will act based on other people’s faces.”

Wu Yingen's expression changed and he said, "Brother, you must be careful about this matter. Beyond the Great Wall is a place where the Huns and barbarians run rampant. If you don't do it well, you may be in danger of annihilation."

Wu Yingyuan said: "My Wu family is growing day by day, and babies are born every day. If this continues, there is no solution. The only long-term solution is to establish our own country. At present, the countries are competing for supremacy and are unable to go north.

Gu, this is the best time to create an immortal career, not to mention we have such fierce generals as Xiang Shaolong and Teng, who dares to mess with us?"

Wu Yingjie said: "Building a clan or a country is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Big brother, we should take a long-term approach. Now that the king and queen are extremely fond of Shaolong, Lu Buwei Ying still dare not deal with us openly."

Wu Yingyuan's expression softened slightly and he smiled and said: "I didn't say I was leaving now. I went to Beiqiang today and met with Shaolong's fourth brother, Wang Jian, and told him frankly about our situation. Wang Jian is deeply in love.

A man with great righteousness said that as long as he guards Beiqiang for one day, he will definitely support us with all his strength. Being prepared for danger in times of peace, we spent a few years looking for beautiful places outside the Great Wall to lay down the foundation first. When the situation changes in the future, we can also stay there.

There is a way to retreat, so you don’t have no way to escape. You just sit there and wait for death.”

Wu Yingjie said: "It would be more appropriate if we ask Shaolong to take charge of this matter."

Teng Yi and others all sighed inwardly. To put it bluntly, except for Wu Yingyuan, a man with far-sighted vision, the other Wu clan chiefs were just people who wanted to have fun and were reluctant to leave the rich and prosperous country of Da Qin.

Wu Yingyuan's face darkened and he said, "Doesn't that mean we should tell Lu Buwei clearly that we are dissatisfied with this place? If we break up, without Shaolong here, our Wu family will be at the mercy of others."

Wu Zhuo interjected: "Starting a business is always difficult, but once the foundation is established, it will last for generations. Although we seem to be unable to do it now, we may be a blessing in disguise. When we go to open up wasteland outside the Great Wall, we will leave it to our hands.

I'll go and do it. With the thousands of troops trained by our brothers, although we are still weak in traveling outside the territory, we are more than capable of protecting ourselves. Don't worry, everyone."

Wu Yingyuan said decisively: "This matter has been decided here. Don't be half-hearted anymore, but it must be kept highly confidential and must not be leaked. Otherwise, it will be dealt with according to family law and no mercy will be taken lightly."

He turned to Wu Zhuo and said, "Go and scare that beast and keep him a secret. Otherwise, don't say that I, Wu Yingyuan, don't care about the relationship between father and son."

There was a knock on the door, and a general came in and said: "Lu Xiangguo summoned my uncle."

Everyone was shocked.
