Xiang Shaolong pretended to be dizzy with trembling hands and shouted: "Water, give me some water"

The pretty maid smiled charmingly and said, "Master Xiang was overworked last night, and Madam is just like you."

Xiang Shaolong secretly laughed that the maid looked like a master. This pretty maid didn't seem to be a good thing, so he reached out and touched her breasts.

The pretty maid left with a sweet smile.

Xiang Shaolong pretended to be unsteady on his feet and walked out of the hall.

Wu Yingyuan and Tao Fangzheng were accompanied by Mrs. Ya, who was looking blank. Seeing him like this, they both looked angry, thinking that he didn't know how much he loved himself.

When Mrs. Ya saw him coming out, a look of guilt appeared in her eyes. She stood up and was about to speak, but she didn't expect that Xiang Shaolong fell upside down and passed out on the ground.

This eliminates all lip and tongue issues.

He decided to deceive Wu Yingyuan and Tao Fang for the time being, so that he could convince Zhao Mu and Lian Jin that they would fall into his scheme.

Wu Yingyuan and Tao Fang were angry and anxious and hurriedly transported him back to the annex.

When he fell asleep on the couch, Wu Yingyuan said in a deep voice: "The situation is a bit bad. I think Shaolong has been poisoned by Madam Ya. Mr. Tao, go and ask Huang Miaoshou to see if he can restore his spirit before the competition."

Physical strength." After saying this, he let out a long sigh, full of pity and resentment.

Xiang Shaolong opened his eyes suddenly and sat up.

The two of them were startled and looked at him like dumb birds.

Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly and said, "If I keep pretending to be unconscious from now on, it will be more painful than beating me."

The two were overjoyed and asked him what was going on. After Xiang Shaolong told the whole process, they all laughed.

Wu Yingyuan hurriedly sent Tao Fang out to order the warriors to guard the house and not allow anyone to come in.

After Tao Fang came back, he sat down and said, "Shaolong is really powerful. The poison on that needle must be the juice extracted from the hemp grass. It penetrates into the blood and even the horse will be knocked unconscious. I didn't expect you to be unafraid."

Wu Yingyuan said: "It can be said that Tianyun is still on our side. How does Shaolong plan to use this advantage?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "I will adapt to circumstances and I will surprise Zhao Mu and Lian Jin."

Tao Fang said: "Mrs. Ya just sent someone to ask about your situation. I drove that person away. Assuming that she came to see you in person, Shaolong would like to see her."

Wu Yingyuan said: "It's better not to see him."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Although this aphrodisiac is powerful, but according to Zhao Mu's tone, after sleeping for a few hours, I should be able to recover a little physical strength, but it will never be able to cope with a fierce fight."

Wu Yingyuan said: "This is the truth. Otherwise, if the Jin Dynasty wins without force, how can we establish our authority in front of the king and all the ministers?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "I agree with the eldest young master. If I don't see anyone, it will make the enemy think that I am working hard to recover my strength. There is no need to pretend to be so hard tonight."

Tao Fang said: "But Shaolong should at least pretend to be exhausted. I'll put some ash powder on your face before departure, and that will make it even more foolproof."

At this point, the three of them couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Palace is located in the center of Handan City, surrounded by city walls. The city river is deep and wide, just like a city within a city.

The dinner was held in the Xiangrui Hall in the palace.

King Zhao's royal banquet is located in the north of the palace opposite the main gate. There are forty seats on each side, both facing the large square-like space in the center of the palace. The seats are divided into two rows, front and back, and each seat can seat ten people. The front seats are of course the royal family.

The nobles and ministers, and the back seats are composed of family members and particularly distinguished samurai generals.

The closer you get to the King of Zhao's banquet, the higher your status becomes. The two richest men, Wushi and Guo Zong, are seated at the third seat on the left and the third seat on the right. This also shows the importance of these two people in the Zhao Kingdom.

After all the guests entered the palace, they sat down at their own banquets. They whispered to each other while talking and did not dare to make any noise. The atmosphere was tense and serious.

When Wu Thi, Wu Tingfang and Wu Tingwei, who were dressed in Chinese clothes and had graceful figures, entered the arena, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, not only because of Wu Tingfang's otherworldly beauty, but also because the two people competing tonight were both

A swordsman from his Wu Mansion.

Guo Zong, who was already seated at the table, stood up to welcome him. After saying a few polite words, he leaned into his ear and whispered in his ear: "I heard that Xiang Shaolong went to Mrs. Ya's house last night to hang out. How can he become such a big deal if he doesn't know how to love himself?

It seems he will definitely lose tonight."

This Guo Zong is of medium build, about forty years old, with a fair face and no beard, but a shrewd face, and expressive expression when he speaks. At first glance, he seems to be a careless person, but everyone who knows him knows that his smile is powerful.

.

Wu Shi, who was at least two sizes bigger than him in both height and body, was secretly angry. On the one hand, Xiang Shaolong failed to live up to his expectations, and on the other hand, Guo Zong implied that he was short-sighted and had recommended the wrong person to the invincible Lian Jin.

During the competition, only one person said with a smile: "You have many talented people in the Guo family, why don't you find someone to come out and let us broaden our horizons."

While the two were fighting each other, Zhao Mu, who had a sword scar on his left cheek diagonally from the base of his ear to the corner of his mouth, and Mrs. Ya, who was as beautiful as a flower but looked slightly tired, both arrived surrounded by several warriors.

The ministers hurriedly greeted him and saluted him, showing his special status.

Zhao Mu is tall and straight, with broad shoulders. The scar on his face not only does not make him an ugly man, but also adds to his masculine charm. In fact, although he is over thirty, he is still well-maintained and looks handsome.

, his eyebrows are particularly thick, the bridge of his nose is slightly hooked, and his slender but shining eyes make people feel that he is not easy to mess with.

When he saw Wu Tingfang next to Wu Shi, his eyes immediately lit up and he stepped forward and said, "Miss Tingfang, it's been a long time."

After Wu Tingfang saw the courtesy, he said coldly: "Hello, Mr. Marquis."

Wushi and Guo Zong did not dare to be rude, so they turned around and saluted him.

At this time, there was a commotion near the door. It turned out that Wu Hei came accompanied by Lian Jin, who was handsome and handsome in a samurai uniform.

I saw Lian Jin in high spirits and elated, greeting everyone with a smile, and teasing the beauties present with his eyes from time to time.

At this time, many people were invited to the banquet. Women all wore their hair in buns and dressed up to attend the banquet. Most of their costumes were dark clothes with connected clothes. The headbands were swaying, or they were long and hung down to the knees, with the lower skirts hidden.

Dressed in a long gown, with wide sleeves brushed by hands, with gold rings on the arms, jade rings around the fingers, pearls behind the ears, sachets tied behind the elbows, bracelets around the wrists, jade belt around the waist, the fragrance of the clothes on the temples is reflected for a moment,

It dazzles people.

The men wear crowns on their heads, long clothespin robes, and the back is cut into the shape of a swallowtail. They also pose in a stylish way, complementing the women.

Wu Tingfang had already heard about Xiang Shaolong being forcibly invited into the mansion by Madam Ya. Seeing that everyone was focused on Lian Jin, he moved to Madam Ya's side, leaned into her ear and said harshly: "Why do you want to harm me?"

Long, if anything happens to him, I will not let you go."

Mrs. Ya was stunned for a moment, speechless, when Lian Jinzao strode over. She remembered that she wanted to accompany him tonight, and for a moment she lowered her head in shame and anger.

The Wu black man next to Lian Jin lives up to his name, with a dark face, a short stature, a square face and big ears, but his eyes are slender and narrow, making Lian Jin, who is at least a head taller than him, look like a jade tree in the wind.

Lian Jin first saluted Zhao Mu, Wu Shi and Guo Zong, then his eyes moved to Wu Tingfang and Mrs. Ya, with strange and complicated expressions flashing across their faces.

At this time, several more famous ministers and generals joined their circle, and the atmosphere became more lively.

Lian Jin was about to sneak over and tease the two girls when Zhao Mu suddenly said: "If Boss Wu agrees, I would like to invite Lian Jin to sit at my table."

Everyone was astonished, and Zhao Mu said that if he publicly asked for people from the Wushi family, he would bring Lian Jin under his banner.

Lian Jin didn't expect him to have such a move, and was surprised. Wu Hei also changed his expression. If Lian Jin agreed, he would never want to stay in the Wu family again.

Wu Shi was secretly angry in his heart, but on the outside he smiled and said: "If Lian Jin is happy, how could I disagree?" He made it clear that Lian Jin should make a choice.

Lian Jin secretly cursed Zhao Mu in his heart. You must know that people at this time value the relationship between master and servant most. A diner must be loyal to his master for life. Now Zhao Mu is forced to express his position. If he nods, he will be despised by others.

.As a result, he could only have a living space by seeking refuge with Zhao Mu.

However, he was also riding a tiger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your appreciation. How dare you disobey me?"

Everyone fell silent and looked at Wu Shi.

After all, Wu Shi was used to seeing wind and waves, so he laughed loudly and said: "Lian Jin, you must do your best to win honor for the Marquis tonight. You must win but not lose." The implication is that if you lose, you don't have to hang out in Handan anymore.

.

Lian Jin and Zhao Mu looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Wu Shi and Guo Zong were both mature in years. When they heard the pride revealed in their laughter, they immediately knew that there was something mysterious in it, and at the same time they looked at Mrs. Ya who was bowing her head.

Madam Ya naturally understood why the two of them were laughing so heartily, and she suddenly felt endless regret in her heart. Thinking of the sad scene in front of Xiang Shaolong being humiliated later, she hurriedly hid in the second seat on the left.

"when"

The bell rang to remind everyone to take their seats.

Wu Shi was even more dissatisfied with Xiang Shaolong, and secretly scolded Tao Fang and Wu Yingyuan for why they hadn't come yet.

Nearly a thousand kings, relatives, ministers and dignitaries were seated at the table one after another. The eighty tables on both sides were crowded with people, preparing to start the grandest palace dinner since the Yan people's retreat banquet.

Everyone had just sat down and King Zhao had not yet arrived. Under the protection of Tao Fang and Wu Yingyuan, Xiang Shaolong walked into the auspicious hall calmly and elegantly with a wooden sword at his waist.

Everyone present had more or less heard that he was going to be carried away from Mrs. Ya's house this morning. When they saw him arriving, they all looked at him intently.

Except for his face being a little gray, Xiang Shaolong is the same as usual. He is slightly taller than Lian Jin and has a strong and muscular body. He is indeed a majestic figure that women dream of.

Zhao Mu and Lian Jin beside him exchanged glances, and both secretly laughed at the fact that Xiang Shaolong was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, looking good but not useful.

Mrs. Ya couldn't help but glance at him secretly, her heart filled with tears of regret. She had harmed him like this, and now everyone in the city knew about it. How could he not know it? Would he still be willing to forgive herself? She couldn't help but secretly hate herself for being intimidated by Zhao Mu.

Although he is powerful, it is too late to regret it. If Lian Jin breaks his promise and hurts him, the only way to repay him is with death.

Seeing that he was still walking steadily, Wu Shi put down the snack and said with a smile: "Shaolong, come here."
