Chapter 136
Book 13 Chapter 03 – The Female Warriors
Under the gaze of nearly a hundred female warriors, Xiang Shaolong and Lord Changping entered the main hall led by Ying Ying.
Xiang Shaolong has the perfect body tightly dressed in a simple warrior suit. Except for the dirty mark on his shoulder, he strolls in gracefully with his right hand on his sword hilt and his left arm swinging by his side, almost like a modern male model striding down the cat walk. Everyone in hall could not help but be mesmerized by him.
The women warriors who attacked him earlier realised that it was Xiang Shaolong who is the dream man of many Xianyang ladies. They were especially taken aback.
Ying Ying went back to her seat. Before she could sit down, another beauty next to her jumped up and whispered into her ears before resuming their seats together.
Xiang Shaolong, Lord Changping, Lord Changwen and An Gu were seated at a table full of dishes and wine. Lord Changping sighed: "Thanks to Shaolong’s presence, we brothers have finally fulfilled our sister’s demand."
Lord Changwen was disappointed: "Why didn’t Shaolong bring Talented Lady Ji and let us have a look at her? Big Brother said he reminded you."
An Gu smiled: "Shaolong! Now you finally got a taste of how irritating they are. Luckily, I have to leave the city for my duties. I shall pa.s.s on this burden to you. Good luck!"
Xiang Shaolong is already burdened with countless worries and sadness. Now, as he is facing these three friendly and sincere men in a place filled with young, pa.s.sionate girls, his acc.u.mulated stress begin to go away. Finally relaxing, he grabbed his wine cup and was about to drink when Ying Ying’s voice rang out behind him: "Don’t drink wine! Otherwise when you lose, you will say that we are being unfair to you."
Xiang Shaolong was surprised and suspicious. Holding back his wine cup, he turned around and questioned: "What does drinking wine have to do with winning and losing?"
The whole hall quietened down.
Ying Ying and the pretty girl seated with her came in front of him, both putting on the airs of a spoilt and stubborn character.
Behind him, An Gu sighed: "Shaolong should know their prowess by now. If they attacked openly with a fair fight, I will lose without a single complaint. Somehow, they have so many tricks up their sleeves and I was taken by surprise every single time."
The beautiful girl stared at him and giggled sweetly. Her mouth curled up with a proud look, she plainly state: "Dear General An, I had regarded you as someone important in Xianyang City! Hng! Since young, you have always been repudiating. Commander Xiang is not like you and will face our challenges bravely."
Xiang Shaolong looked back and exchanged a helpless grin with An Gu. Lord Changping came to his ear and whispered: "They called themselves the Royal Reviewer. Hei! They joked that Generals promoted by the Qin court has to undergo a second review with them to prove their worthiness. "
Ying Ying impatiently cut in: "Cut the [email protected]/* */ Shaolong will now compete with Dan’er in wine drinking." When she mentioned Dan’er, she arrogantly pointed to the pretty girl beside her with her thumb.
Xiang Shaolong eyes landed on Lu Dan’er pet.i.te face and begin to scrutinize Lu Gong’s stubborn granddaughter.
Lu Dan’er’s eyes matched his gaze. She has a nice smile and her eyes are glowing with happiness, mischief and arrogance.
But she is indeed pretty and does not look a day over sixteen. In these ancient times, it is a marriageable age. But just looking at her wild and formidable aura, a weak husband will be unable to control her.
Compared to Ying Ying, she is shorter by half a head. She has a well-proportioned body and did not have any excess fats due to constant exercise. Any normal man who saw her will be aroused.
Like Ying Ying, they are energetic, lively and full of enthusiasm. With healthy complexions and white glowing skin, they are truly alluring.
However, Ying Ying is slightly more appealing than her.
Scanning her body next, Xiang Shaolong lowered his gaze and caught sight of her full and perky chest.
While he was secretly praising the full bosoms of Qin ladies, Lu Dan’er’s face reddened and she looked down.
An Gu and the Lords laughingly retaliated: "Ha! Dan’er’s face is red with embarra.s.sment. What a rare sight!"
Ying Ying was astounded and glanced at her partner. Stomping her feet, she called: "Dan’er!"
Lu Dan’er shot a vicious look at Xiang Shaolong who has embarra.s.sed her and denied: "Who is embarra.s.sed? It is because the weather is too hot! Bring the wine!"
At last, Xiang Shaolong is fully familiar about these female warriors. They are just troublemakers in Xianyang City. As most of them are related to high-ranking officials and are spoilt by nature, they are able to terrorise the commoners without much repercussions.
Several giggling young ladies came in carrying a few jugs of wine. The battle is about to begin.
An Gu came to Xiang Shaolong’s side and smiled: "How is your alcohol tolerance? This lady’s liqueur capacity is not something to laugh about."
Xiang Shaolong was curious: "Why do we have to hold a drinking contest?"
Ying Ying stepped forward and proclaimed: "Wine drinking is a man’s forte. We want to challenge you men in your best forte. Understand?"
An Gu produced a spitting sound and barked: "What are you so proud about? You wanted to get Commander Xiang drunk and then compete with him in martial arts. When you have won, you will brag about it. I know all your dirty tricks!"
Lu Dan’er is bitter about An Gu embarra.s.sing her earlier and arrogantly retorted: "You are our defeated opponent and how dare you speak like that? You lost in the last archery contest and blamed us instead of your own incompetency. What a loser."
Au Gu faced Xiang Shaolong with an agonized smile: "Now you should know what I mean."
Xiang Shaolong could only smile weakly in return.
The imposing Ying Ying commanded: "Except for the contestants, everyone else return to your seats." She led her warriors back to their seats, leading by example
Lord Changping whispered before he left: "Good luck!" and returned to his seat with Lord Changwen and An Gu.
Slightly fearful of Xiang Shaolong, Lu Dan’er sat down and raised the wine jug in front, commenting: "Let’s drink up our share of wine and compete our archery skills in the rear garden. Quick! Why are you hesitating like a woman!"
The female warriors burst out in laughter and made all sorts of jeering noises.
Xiang Shaolong felt his own tummy and realised that he had not eaten a single meal today. It is a taboo to drink wine on an empty stomach and he is bound to lose. He hardened his resolve and shot back: "Such an impatient little doll. You have already lost to me in terms of patience." He purposely looked at her chest again and walked towards Ying Ying. Sitting down opposite her, his stomach began to rumble.
Ying Ying raised her eyebrows and implored: "Since when
