Chapter 168 Elegance

The morning dew dissipates, the winter sun shines through, and the cold wind gives people a warm and comfortable feeling.

Outside the courtyard, soldiers are stationed on guard, and above the pond, the sound of bamboo leaks is heard.

On the eaves, Bai Lu stood guard with a sword.

Zhao Shuang was wearing single clothes and had just gotten up from the bed. He hit He Haqie and looked at the old men sitting next to him.

"Uncles, what do you want from me?"

The old guys in front of me are several rounds older than Zhao Shuang, and they are all the clan leaders who have a good relationship with Zhao Laosi.

Obviously, after Zhao Shuang was granted the title of Lord of Hanyang, the people in these clans not only envied and hated him, but also regarded him as the core figure of this already somewhat loose alliance of clans.

It's loose because after Zhao Laosi's retirement, every time Zhao Shuang got together with these people, he was the youngest one among them.

He is the youngest and has the highest status, but he does not have the patience of Zhao Laosi to deal with these people.

However, this alliance is somewhat loose due to the personal relationship between the leaders, but matters related to interests will still come together.

"Didn't your Majesty hear that?"

"Ah! Since the beginning of winter, my body has been a little weak. I have been recovering from illness these days. What happened outside?"

"Just yesterday, Lord Chang'an was in the court and denounced his unwillingness to surrender. He also took out a long sword of chaos and said that he wanted to harm him."

"so what?"

Zhao Shuang waved his hand, and Yan Lingji served him a bowl of corn porridge. A woman with a graceful figure and beautiful appearance appeared in front of a group of old men. They all seemed to understand what Zhao Shuang meant when he said that she was weak.

"Don't you understand, Your Majesty? A turmoil is about to begin. Officials from Chang'an Jun's faction are fierce and have their swords pointed at Lu Buwei. I'm afraid this Guanzhong will no longer be peaceful."

Zhao Shuang took a sip of corn porridge, somewhat satisfied with the temperature, and touched Yan Lingji's hand. The other party smiled, winked, and left.

The man and the woman were flirting in public and making secret glances. Everyone present looked on and sighed in their hearts.

Zhao Shuang came to his senses and began to deal with these guys.

"It's just an assassination. It's not a big deal. Uncles, why should you be nervous? It's not that serious."

Everyone can see Zhao Shuang's attitude. He is not in a hurry, but others are!

"That's true, but the dispute between Chang'an Lord and Lu Buwei involves a wide range of things. After all, we can't be alone, and we must make a choice."

"What do you choose not to choose? We are all Qin people, so what is there to fight about? Prime Minister Lu and Lord Chang'an are both ministers of Qin. Even if they fight fiercely, what does it have to do with us? Why should we wait? Intervene?"

Zhao Shuang's negative attitude made all the gray-haired people present deeply angry.

"Zhao Shuang, do you think you can sit back and relax after becoming the Lord of Hanyang? Where do you put me?"

For these people, the land in Zhao Shuang's hands has been cleared, but the land in their hands has not.

The current situation in Qin is very clear. They must choose one side and follow the winner, and they will naturally be able to clear their name. But if they fail, they will have nothing.

But the key is, how to make this choice?

Looking at Zhao Shuang's appearance, he was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, he was already on the shore and didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore.

"After the nest is overturned, the eggs are still intact? Do you think this villa given to you by Lu Buwei is so easy to live in? In the current turmoil, no matter who wins, if you want to stand by and watch, will there be any good results? "

"Uncles, don't be anxious, drink some tea and calm down the fire!"

"I can't afford your tea."

With that said, the group of people waved their sleeves, stood up and left. Among this group of people, there was only one person left. He was the second youngest person in this group of people besides Zhao Shuang.

"Yang Duanhe has met your Majesty!"

"Everyone is leaving, why are you left alone?"

Zhao Shuang smiled and looked at the person in front of him curiously, but saw him hand him away.

"Because what I see is just like your Majesty, now is not the time to choose, so I stay."

"Tea!"

Yan Lingji carried the tea and entered the room. After placing the tea, she left again.

Zhao Shuang sat up straight, looked at the person in front of him, and asked.

"What is the relationship between Duan clan guard Yang Li and you?"

"I am my younger brother."

"He serves under Cheng Xi and is quite effective. But it's too popular, so I'm afraid it's not good."

Yang Duanhe's expression changed, as if he noticed the meaning of Zhao Shuang's words, and thanked him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me."

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lu Buwei stood in the corridor in front of the courtyard of the mansion, admiring the strange flowers.

Wei Zhuang walked behind him, not feeling a little strange.

"Why is Xiangbang so interested?"

You know, outside at this moment, Chang'an Lord's men have started to take action with great fanfare against the forces of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wei Zhuang didn't understand why Lord Chang'an suddenly became so aggressive, and he didn't understand why Lu Buwei kept giving in.

“With confidence in my heart, things will naturally be different from before.”

"Is Xiangbang talking about himself or Lord Chang'an?"

Lu Buwei laughed loudly and turned back to look at Wei Zhuang.

"You are the only one in the entire mansion who dares to talk to me like this."

That's what he said, but Lu Buwei obviously didn't care and waved.

"Go and do something for me."

"Please give me your instructions, Prime Minister."

"Go to the Sakura Garden in the mountains and invite Mr. Hanyang to gather with you."

"The prime minister wants to entertain Lord Hanyang in his palace?"

"I heard that there is a newly opened Purple Orchid Pavilion in Xianyang City, and the dancers are all extraordinary. Since Mr. Hanyang is an elegant person, go there for a while!"

"promise!"

Yin Yang family.

"What's this?"

Concubine Yan looked at the pile of bamboo slips brought by the Moon God with a look of confusion on her face.

"These are matters that need to be decided urgently!"

The disciples of the Yin Yang family retreated, and the Moon God explained.

"Why are there so many!"

Moon God was a little helpless. Due to the recent turmoil, the Yin Yang family was involved in the Qin Dynasty and was very passive. In the court that day, although Lord Chang'an did not mention the Yin Yang family, he vaguely regarded them as enemies.

Yun Zhongjun was nowhere to be seen all day long, he was busy running around, building relationships and making connections.

The most critical thing is that two of the five elders were lost and hundreds of disciples were killed. The troubles that the Yin and Yang family had to face suddenly increased, but the number of people who could solve them dropped sharply.

"These are all important matters in the Fire and Wood Departments, and there are many confidential matters handled by the sect's Chief Commander and Young Master. Mr. Xiang and Mrs. Xiang are already so busy that they can't breathe. Of course, these are It’s up to us to deal with it.”

All day long, Concubine Yan and Moon God were dealing with a lot of troublesome things, flipping through bamboo slips and giving instructions.

A surge of anger surged up. Thinking of the culprit that caused all this, Concubine Yan suddenly broke the pen in her hand and roared angrily.

"Don't let me see that jade-faced flying dragon, otherwise I will make him look good!"
