Chapter 27 The Talented Girl Arrives
LΓΌ Buwei looked at this man, LΓΌ Buwei's number one general: Guan Zhongxi, and asked: "Zhongxie, are you sure to defeat Xiang Shaolong?" β
Guan Zhongyi said: "It's hard to say, Xiang Shaolong didn't make many shots, but they were all tough battles." But I don't think I'm going to lose. It's just that my status is low, and I'm afraid I'm not qualified to challenge Xiang Shaolong. β
It can't be said that he is reaching out to Lu Buwei to ask for an official, but it is indeed very different from Xiang Shaolong's identity, and he may not even have the qualifications to get close to Xiang Shaolong.
Lu Buwei said: "This is easy to do, find a chance, this prime minister will protect you with a military position, you can naturally find a chance to fight him, you have to enhance your strength, don't have the opportunity to come, you can't win." β
Guan Zhongyi said: "Xie Xiangye, the evil will do its best to eliminate this great trouble for Xiangye." β
He is LΓΌ Buwei's person, LΓΌ Buwei is his only backer, he can't control what the consequences will be after killing Xiang Shaolong, LΓΌ Buwei wants Xiang Shaolong's life, he must kill Xiang Shaolong to reflect his value. As for what kind of waves it will cause in the future, that is Lu Buwei's business, but if he can't kill Xiang Shaolong, then he will be worthless.
King Qin's marriage has spread all over the world. Xiang Shaolong married Qin Qing with great fanfare, the general's mansion was decorated with lights, a large banquet, and all the big people in Xianyang City who could come came.
Even Lu Buwei, no matter how much he hated Xiang Shaolong in his heart, he had to give a heavy gift and congratulate him in person.
The military ministers are even more unstoppable. Wang Jian was also going to come, but the responsibility of guarding the border was heavy, and Xiang Shaolong did not agree to Wang Jian coming back, but although Wang Jian did not arrive, the ceremony arrived first.
King Qin led Queen Ji and Prince Zheng to come in person, which made Xiang Shaolong even more embarrassed. King Qin not only brought a generous gift, but also named Xiang Shaolong on the spot as the commander of the capital cavalry, waiting for the city to guard, which is equivalent to King Qin entrusting his safety to Xiang Shaolong, which shows King Qin's trust in Xiang Shaolong.
Originally, LΓΌ Buwei wanted to use personnel transfers to push Guan Zhongyi to this position, but this position was very important, and he controlled Qin Jun's personal safety, so King Qin refused to give it to him, so he had to retreat to the second best place and let Guan Zhongyi serve as the commander of the Duwei.
The number of cavalry troops was between 10,000 and was divided into five armies, each with 2,000 people, all of which were selected by the Qin army to be elite who were good at riding and shooting, second only to the Praetorian Guards who protected the forbidden palace of the Qin king. Most of them are descendants of royal courtiers, who are innocent and well-paid, so everyone is proud to be a cavalryman.
In peacetime, the cavalry army was stationed in four satellite castles outside Xianyang City, which were in a dangerous situation, and were responsible for general defense such as patrols and reconnaissance outside the royal city. The affairs of the city were handled by the Metropolitan Guard, and the functions and powers were clearly distinguished. But if something happens, the commander of the capital guard must be deployed by the commander of the capital cavalry, so in the two systems, the capital is the positive and the capital guard is the secondary. Every three months, the soldiers and horses of the two systems have to practice together so that they can cooperate seamlessly. The commander of the Duwei had to report to the commander of the Duqi once a month, and then the latter would report directly to Qin Jun.
Angu Xi was promoted to general and was responsible for the defense of the three passes of Dongfang Hangu Pass, Tiger Prison Pass and Caisai Pass.
Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun, the two young royal brothers, were divided into cavalry, chariot troops and infantry of the Praetorian Guard, and the position of commander was divided into two, becoming the Ban Cavalry General and the Praetorian Guard General.
The three major systems of the Praetorian Guard, the Metropolitan Cavalry, and the Metropolitan Guard constitute the backbone of the defense of the royal city.
It was a tradition of the Qin family to appoint royal nobles as commanders of the forbidden army, and it was difficult for LΓΌ Buwei to intervene in this matter.
Although the Metropolitan Guards were inferior to the Metropolitan Cavalry, they were indeed responsible for the defense and security of the royal city, and were a mixture of the modern army and the police. Due to the strong folk customs of the Qin State, this position is not easy to achieve.
Wei Guolong Yangjun specially rushed to Xianyang to congratulate Xiang Shaolong, accompanied by the talented woman Ji Yanran.
The son of Li Yuan of Chu State admired Ji Cainu, and actually chased all the way to Xianyang, and by the way, he also participated in Xiang Shaolong's wedding.
Xiang Shaolong didn't expect that there were so many unexpected guests, and he was busy that day, but he had to thank them one by one afterwards.
Ancient weddings are more complicated than modern ones, and there are more etiquette, especially the identities of Xiang Shaolong and Qin Qing are not trivial, Xiang Shaolong doesn't care about anything else, just going through the procedure and being tired and half dead.
Looking at the crowded General's Mansion, Wu Tingfang and Shu'er received the VIPs with smiles on their faces, and suddenly felt very sorry for these two wives. When I married them, I was very low-key, only the important people of the Wu family congratulated me, and the only outsiders were Wang Qian. And on the issue of marrying Qin Qing, the second daughter not only had no jealousy, but also took the initiative to make suggestions. Xiang Shaolong secretly decided: "You must treat these two wives well, and you can't forget the old people when you have a new person." β
At a grand wedding banquet, Xiang Shaolong drank a lot of wine, and when the guests were sent away, he walked into the new house.
Two huge candlesticks illuminated the room, and Qin Qing sat quietly on the edge of the bed with a red hijab on her head and a phoenix crown.
Xiang Shaolong walked to Qin Qing's side gently, stretched out his hand and lifted the hijab, revealing a beautiful, delicate, and shy little face, which was even more pink in the candlelight.
Xiang Shaolong was excited and held Qin Qing's hand: "Qing'er, thank you for your favor, I must make you the happiest woman in the world." β
Qin Qing buried her head in Xiang Shaolong's arms and said softly: "I am the happiest woman now." β
Xiang Shaolong finally took down the goddess and got what he wanted, and this night was endless.
The next day, Xiang Shaolong personally went to visit Long Yangjun to thank him for coming all the way to congratulate him, and also met Ji Yanran and Li Yuan, who came together.
Li Yuan is now an important minister of the Chu State, he came from the sect of Chunshenjun Huang Xie, dedicated his sister to Chunshenjun, and after becoming pregnant, he was dedicated by Chunshenjun to the childless king of Chu. His power skyrocketed, and he became more and more invincible, and he felt that he had the capital to pursue Ji Yanran, and chased him all the way from Daliang to Xianyang.
Ji Yanran has seen a lot of talents, and I don't know how many people have noble status, although this Li Yuan is high and powerful, his talent is also outstanding, and he can be literate and martial, but Ji Yanran can't be easily moved by him. I don't know if she originally wanted to travel to Xianyang, or she was impatient with Li Yuan's entanglement and wanted to get rid of him, so she came to Xianyang with Longyangjun. But he didn't expect Li Yuan to be so infatuated, and he also came to Xianyang, and casually participated in Xiang Shaolong's wedding.
Xiang Shaolong also took advantage of the situation to invite all three of them to the General's Mansion.
Xiang Shaolong first hugged his fist to Li Yuan and said, "It's rare that Li Gongzi can come to the wedding below, it's an honor." β
Although Li Yuan said that he is now in power, people have become arrogant, but he also scores with whom. Strong Qin dominates the world, Xiang Shaolong is the left minister and a general, and he is deeply trusted by Qin Jun, which is not comparable to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan hurriedly returned the gift, also hugged his fist, and said: "I have heard the name of the general for a long time, and Mrs. Qin is also famous all over the world, and it is an honor for Li to be able to participate in the wedding of the two." β
Long Yang Junjiao said with a smile: "The last time the general visited Daliang, he had a great demeanor. When the king learned that the general was going to marry Mrs. Qin, he ordered the slave family to come to congratulate him. I didn't expect the general's charm to be so great, and he also attracted our talented girl over. β
Ji Yanran's face turned red, and she hurriedly said: "I learned a lot from the general's words last time. I have really seen different customs and customs along the way, and I want to continue to listen to the general's high opinions. At that time, I heard that the general admired the talent of Mrs. Qin very much, and Yanran also wanted to visit Mrs. Qin, the general's wife. β
Li Yuan saw that Ji Yanran admired Xiang Shaolong so much, and there was a meaning of saying goodbye to the bride in his words, and he couldn't help but feel jealous in his heart.
said to Ji Yanran: "Miss Ji can go to Chu Country to have a look next." If Miss Ji comes, Li will do his best to make Miss Ji feel at home. β
Ji Yanran smiled: "Thank you Li Gongzi first." He turned his head and said to Xiang Shaolong: "The last time I listened to the general's bold ideas, it was thought-provoking, the general has seen people, both civil and military, no wonder he can get the favor of Mrs. Qin." β
Xiang Shaolong said: "Qing'er is also very happy about Miss Ji's arrival, she is preparing a dinner party, and she will personally entertain Miss Ji in a while." β
Then he said to Li Yuan: "Brother Li is here to Xianyang, is there anything else?" What do you need to do next? β
Xiang Shaolong still attaches great importance to Li Yuan, he knows that this Li Yuan is a ruthless person, he is in a high position at this time, and even Chunshenjun Huang Xie will be killed by him in the future.
Chunshenjun Huang Xie is relatively low-key among the four gentlemen of the Warring States, but he is not a good type, and Zhao Mu is his son. Let Li Yuan's sister conceive her own child and then dedicate it to the king of Chu, the means are not high, and the effect on the state of Chu is not comparable to that of an outbreak like Li Yuan.
Xiang Shaolong wanted to befriend Li Yuan, and wanted him to improve his strength as soon as possible, get rid of Chunshenjun as soon as possible, and even kill Chunshenjun as soon as possible, so that the Chu State would not be far from death.
Li Yuan's trip was purely for the sake of chasing Ji Yanran, and he couldn't say anything, so he said: "Li's trip around the world this time is just to increase his knowledge and knowledge, and he can serve my Dachu in the future." β
Xiang Shaolong said: "If you need to go down, please don't be polite." β
A few people chatted for a while, and the dinner was ready. Qin Qing, Wu Tingfang and Shu Er, as the hostesses of the General's Mansion, naturally attended.
Push the glass and change the lamp during the banquet, so it is not lively.
Qin Qing and Ji Yanran confided their admiration for each other, Wu Tingfang and Shu'er were not far behind, plus peerless beauties like Long Yangjun, Li Yuan was also a handsome guy, with a hypocritical smile, Xiang Shaolong secretly lamented the hypocrisy of the upper class next to him.
Ji Yanran also looked envious in her heart, she had no shortage of pursuits, but she didn't have the happiness of being pampered like Qin Qing.
Suddenly, Xiang Shaolong found that Long Yangjun was frowning at him, and he couldn't help but be stunned. It doesn't look like it's hooking up with yourself, it's like you're sending yourself a code. How can he have such a tacit understanding with him, does he want to talk to himself alone?
After leaving the table for a while, Long Yangjun just hurriedly said to Xiang Shaolong: "I have something to say to the general alone." β
Xiang Shaolong asked, "How about talking about it in the evening?" β
Long Yangjun nodded.
