The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 3 Death Crisis
Of course, he didn't succeed in the end.

At night, fearing that the young emperor would mature too early and couldn't restrain himself, two young eunuchs came in to serve him.

This only made Zhao Dongting extremely depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

Naturally, he was not interested in the two young eunuchs, he was thinking about something randomly, and gradually fell asleep.

Just when he was half asleep, half awake, and drowsy, he heard two young eunuchs whispering in whispers.

"What do you think is going on, Your Majesty? How could Doctor An's medicine be useless?"

"How do I know? It stands to reason that even if the medicine of Imperial Physician An can't make the emperor die, it can never make the emperor heal?"

"Could it be that Imperial Physician An secretly violated Master Yang's wishes?"

"Physician An probably doesn't have the guts to do that?"

"That……"

"Hush, I said you are really worried about your life. What does this have to do with my two little people? We just need to do what Mr. Yang ordered."

"Having poisoned the emperor, can the two of us really live?"

"I don't know if we can live at that time, but if we dare to go against Master Yang's will, we will die at dawn! Do you want the emperor to die, or die yourself?"

"I……"

"Stop talking, go and get the things."

After all, the two little eunuchs were sneaking around in the house, not knowing what they were doing.

Zhao Dongting suddenly opened his eyes, and his heart was cold when he heard these words.I asked how Zhao died of the wind and cold. It turned out that the imperial physician An tampered with the medicine. According to the two eunuchs, a bastard surnamed Yang was planning these things behind the scenes.

Internal and external troubles, no wonder the Southern Song Dynasty died so soon, and it really did not die unjustly.

At this moment, he heard two young eunuchs walking towards him.

Zhao Dongting hurriedly closed his eyes again.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

In just a few seconds, the two little eunuchs called Zhao Dongting softly beside the bed.

Zhao Dongting slowly opened his eyes, pretending to be sleepy, and said, "What's the matter?"

On the left, the eunuch with a fair complexion like a little girl took out his hands from behind his back, "Your Majesty, take a look at what this is?"

In his hand, he held a roast chicken wrapped in lotus leaves. It was yellow and orange, oily and exuding a tempting aroma.

Although roast chicken is not a rare delicacy, but the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty was busy all year round, and food was naturally in short supply. One can imagine how much this roast chicken would be tempting to the original little emperor Zhao.But the two young eunuchs obviously never imagined that what was in front of them now was Zhao Dongting who had traveled through nearly a thousand years later, and Zhao Dongting had vaguely heard the conversation between the two of them.

Knowing that the roast chicken is poisonous, how could Zhao Dongting eat it?

But he still pretended to be very surprised, and asked, "How can you two have such delicious food?"

The little eunuch holding the roast chicken laughed and said, "This is specially prepared by the servant for the emperor to help the emperor recover from the dragon's body."

"Loyal! Loyal!"

Zhao Dongting nodded affirmatively, looking at the two young eunuchs with encouraging eyes.

The two little eunuchs laughed in their hearts, thinking that the little emperor was so naive and easy to fool, it seemed that it was right for him to attach himself to Master Yang.

But at this time, Zhao Dongting said immediately: "But I'm not hungry right now, so I'll reward you two with this roast chicken!"

The two little eunuchs were dumbfounded for a moment.

The little eunuch on the right had a bitter face and said, "Your Majesty, these two slaves specially prepared this for you..."

Zhao Dongting smiled lightly and said, "I love you, eat it, eat it!"

"Slave, slave is not hungry..."

The two little eunuchs really didn't know what to say.The little emperor used to cry hungry at night, why did he suddenly change his mind this time?
"Aren't you hungry?"

Zhao Dongting chewed these two words slowly, his eyes turned cold suddenly, "How dare you two refuse the reward I gave you?"

In ancient times, the king was the king, and Zhao Dongting was the president before he crossed, and he was very dignified. This sudden anger really frightened the two young eunuchs.

With a plop, the little eunuch who was holding the roast chicken knelt down on the ground, almost crying, "Your Majesty, this slave is really not hungry..."

The little eunuch on the right also quickly knelt down on the ground.

Zhao Dongting originally wanted to call the guards outside the house, but after thinking about it in his heart, he gave up.

These two little eunuchs obviously know something, so they have to beat them hard, so as to know who is behind the scenes who wants to harm Lao Tzu.

He slowly sat up from the bed, staring at the two young eunuchs with burning eyes.In the candlelight, his eyes were as cold as Jiuyou.

"There is poison in this roast chicken, isn't it?"

When these words came out, the little eunuch on the left was so frightened that even the roast chicken he was holding fell to the ground, and he was about to cry and beg for mercy.

Killing the emperor is a capital crime, which was a concept implanted in people's bones during the Song Dynasty.

The two of them dared to harm Zhao Dongting before, it was a fluke of not being discovered, but now that Zhao Dongting found out, they were naturally full of fear.

"Silence!"

Zhao Dongting said coldly, his eyes getting colder and colder, "Who told you to wait to harm me? Doctor An is also your party?"

The two young eunuchs knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to speak.

Zhao Dongting said again slowly: "Tell your envoys and accomplices, I... forgive you."

The little eunuch on the left looked up at Zhao Dongting, with hope in his eyes, "Your Majesty..."

But the moment he opened his mouth, the little eunuch on the right rushed to the side of the bed and grabbed Zhao Dongting's neck with both hands.

His eyes were full of madness, and he whispered softly: "Come and help quickly! If you say it is death, if you don't say it, you are dead! Kill him! We may still live!"

The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry.

Zhao Dongting really didn't expect that the eunuch would have such guts, he hurriedly stretched his legs to kick him away.However, his body was only 11 years old, and he was weak and sick all the year round. He really didn't have much strength, and he couldn't kick the little eunuch away even after a few kicks.

His neck was tightly strangled, and he couldn't even cry out.

And the little eunuch kneeling on the ground came back to his senses, his desire to survive completely covered up his conscience, and he threw himself on Zhao Dongting like a madman.

Zhao Dongting's face was flushed, and he gradually became weak. He stared and thought to himself, "Is this how I died?"

He was naturally unwilling to die like this.

An extremely strong desire to survive emerged from the depths of his heart, which made him regain strength and struggle violently.

The dragon bed was shaking.

Although the two young eunuchs crushed him to death, no one noticed that the oil lamp bracket next to the bed was also shaking.

"Bang!"

Just when Zhao Dongting's eyes were getting dark, the oil lamp finally fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"boom!"

The door was knocked open, and two guards rushed in.

"Bold!"

Seeing the two young eunuchs pounced on the dragon bed, they clanged out their bright sabers and ran towards the dragon bed.

The two ran to the dragon bed and threw the two little eunuchs away with one hand.

"Cough! Cough!"

Zhao Dongting coughed violently, tears were pinched out, and the shock in his eyes was still undecided.If it weren't for these two guards' quick movements, I would have died.

Seeing that the two guards were about to kill the two young eunuchs, he hurriedly shouted: "Wait!"

If these two young eunuchs are dead, it may be a lot of trouble to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

The two guards' knives had cut to the necks of the two young eunuchs, they hurriedly withdrew their hands, and then moved quickly, with their hands flying, and knocked the two little eunuchs unconscious with the handle of the knife in an instant.

Zhao Dongting was dumbfounded, this... this is a fucking master of martial arts!
At this time, the remaining guards outside also rushed in.

The leader is a military general, with a burly and extraordinary figure, and his big eyes like a cow quickly scanned the situation in the house.

The two guards who knocked the eunuch unconscious cupped their hands and said, "Master Vice Capital, these two eunuchs intend to murder the emperor!"

Vice capital?
Zhao Dongting looked at the general.At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the deputy capital was still regarded as a middle and low-level general in the bodyguards.

Coincidentally, this capital also looked at Zhao Dongting.Seeing Zhao Dongting looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head again.

Then he walked to the two fallen eunuchs, and asked coldly, "Is this the two?"

The two guards lowered their heads, "Yes!"

At this moment, the vice capital suddenly pulled out his saber.

"careful!"

Zhao Dongting noticed something was wrong and shouted out.

But it's too late.

Two pale, snow-like sword glows streaked across.

The heads of the two guards, who were by no means low in martial arts, tumbled to the ground, and blood sprayed from their necks onto the beams, and then spilled all over the floor.Then, the corpse fell to the ground.

The two guards standing at the door hurriedly closed the door.

The deputy with eyes like copper bells held a knife on his head, and slowly walked towards Zhao Dongting with red eyes.

Zhao Dongting's heart fell into an ice cellar once again. Unexpectedly, the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty had fallen into such a chaotic situation, and most of the emperor's side were rebels.

Obviously, except for the two guards who just died, the rest of the guards have all been bribed.

But he still had to struggle to the death.

The countless experiences in the previous life made Zhao Dongting understand that never give up on anything until the end.

He said, "Do you dare to kill me?"

The vice capital was not in a hurry to kill him, and said coldly: "If you don't die, the world will be restless. If the world is restless, our lives will be restless!"

"Ah……"

Zhao Dongting smiled sadly, "What a restless world! I am only ten years old, yet I have to bear the infamy of making the world restless."

The deputy capital had already walked to the bed, and slowly raised his knife: "It's because you are still young that you deserve to die..."

The bright blade reflects the candlelight in the room, which is inexplicably dazzling.
