My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 686 The King's death cannot be in vain! Guo Kai's borrowing a knife to kill someone!
Queen Mother Zhao did not exaggerate.

The matter involves the reputation of the royal family and the purity of their bloodline. Once Chu Long spreads the matter, Queen Mother Zhao herself may be spared because of her identity.

But all the men who served her, and all the palace maids and eunuchs who knew about it, must die!

Even if it was just for their own lives, the eight men in the hot spring rushed to the shore and blocked Chu Long.

Zhao Yi said in a deep voice: "Master Zuo, please stay!"

Chu Long looked at Zhao Yi in shock: "Lord Chunping! Even you..."

This Zhao Yi is Zhao Wangyan’s elder brother!
Facing Chu Long's shocked expression, Zhao Yi felt somewhat pleased: "This is just human nature."

"Did Master Zuo never have sexual relations with a man when he was in his prime?"

"Master Zuo, why are you so nervous?"

I was the former crown prince, but King Yan of Zhao took away my most cherished throne.

And now, the woman that Zhao Wangyan cherishes most has climbed into my bed on her own initiative.

This is the cycle of cause and effect, retribution will come, and this is my revenge!

Chu Long scolded him mercilessly: "We are born as human beings, not animals, because we have human ethics and courtesy!"

"How are you different from beasts for doing such a ridiculous thing?!"

Zhao Yi smiled without any shame, and said: "I know that Zuo Shi is upright."

"But Master Zuo's integrity should be to make Da Zhao better and better, not to plunge Da Zhao into chaos!"

"Master Zuo himself has also made it clear about the consequences of revealing this matter to the public."

"Please ask Master Zuo to be patient for our Great Zhao!"

Chu Long took a deep breath and said seriously: "If the Queen Mother can behave herself and teach the King well, she will not do such absurd things again."

"You can pretend that you didn't see anything today."

The purpose of admonition is to correct mistakes, not to vent anger.

As long as Queen Mother Zhao stops hanging out with a bunch of wild men in the future, what does it matter if Chu Long takes what he saw and heard today to his grave?

However, what Chu Long got in response was Queen Mother Zhao's dissatisfied question: "As the Queen Mother, do I need Zuo Shi's permission to have some fun in the palace?"

"The previous king allowed Zuo Shi to assist in government affairs because the king was young, so he asked Zuo Shi to teach the king."

"The previous king never asked Master Zuo to teach me!"

The late king is still alive, so I need to be a chaste and heroic woman.

The late king is dead, and I still need to be a chaste and heroic woman.

Then the late king died in vain!
Chu Long also suddenly realized something.

From hearing the voice of Queen Mother Zhao to breaking into the hot spring, everything went so smoothly!
It seems that Guo Kai never ambushed five hundred swordsmen and axemen in the palace.

The only thing Guo Kai had set up was this Jade Arms, Pink Legs and Rouge Formation!

With a sad sigh, Chu Long shouted solemnly: "Then I cannot turn a blind eye to this!"

"If you want such shameless things not to be spread outside the palace walls, the only way is to not do such shameless things."

"Please put on your clothes quickly, Queen Mother. I will come to advise you tomorrow!"

Chu Long knew that he had fallen into a trap.

But Chu Long's personality wouldn't allow him to pretend that he saw nothing, let alone tell a lie against his conscience!
Queen Mother Zhao shouted angrily: "What are you guys still standing there for?"

"Stop him!"

Zhao Yi said coldly: "Master Zuo, I'm sorry!"

With a shout, Zhao Yi took the lead and rushed towards Chu Long.

Chu Long did not hesitate to hit Zhao Yi with the dry branch in his hand, and said sternly: "I am the left teacher of the Great Zhao, and I am also the minister appointed by the previous king to assist in government affairs. How dare you treat me like this!"

"Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"

Unfortunately, no one cared about Chu Long's threats.

Chu Long struggled with all his might, and eight naked men also rushed towards him.

While the two sides were fighting, Zhao Yi, holding Chu Long, rolled into the hot spring.

"Old bastard!" Zhao Yi yelled, "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty wine."

"Do you think I dare not kill you?!"

Chu Long's head was completely pressed into the water by Zhao Yi. He couldn't breathe, and even his struggles became less intense.

Queen Mother Zhao then spoke: "Stop!"

Zhao Yi pushed Chu Long's head into the water again, then grabbed Chu Long's hair and lifted him out of the water.

Panting heavily, Chu Long said firmly: "Or, just kill me!"

"Otherwise, I will definitely speak out my advice!"

The Queen Mother of Zhao walked up to Chu Long and asked an irrelevant question: "Please teach me, Master Zuo."

"Why did Master Zuo enter the palace so late at night?"

"Why was Master Zuo able to appear beside the Zhaomei Pond without any hindrance?"

After a pause, Queen Mother Zhao added, "The palace concerns the safety of the king."

"This question is not just mine, it's also yours."

Chu Long panted heavily, with a hint of self-mockery on his lips: "It was the Prime Minister who ordered me to enter the palace at this moment."

"It was Doctor Ling Cong who ordered me to wait by the Zhaomei Pond."

Queen Mother Zhao's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Guo Kai! Zhao Cong!"

"I've made note of this!"

How could Queen Mother Zhao not realize that she was being used as a knife?

The chaos tonight was clearly caused by Guo Kai not wanting to get rid of Chu Long himself, so he just threw Chu Long to her!

Queen Mother Zhao thought she had reached a tacit understanding with Guo Kai.

The Queen Mother Zhao allowed Guo Kai to mess around with the former dynasty as he pleased, and Guo Kai also needed to provide cover and space for the Queen Mother Zhao to let her do whatever she wanted.

But now, Guo Kai has destroyed the tacit understanding between the two!
Waving her hand, Queen Mother Zhao said, "Send Zuo Shi to the palace gate to wait." "Chun Ping Jun, you should know what to do, right?"

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

"wait me back."

After gently kissing Queen Mother Zhao on the forehead, Zhao Yi let the maid put on his clothes, and then he grabbed Chu Long by the scruff of the neck and dragged him forward.

Chu Long raised his head with difficulty and looked at Queen Mother Zhao. His voice was already quite weak: "I advise the Queen Mother to keep her chastity for the late king and the king, and allow the king to rule the country as soon as possible."

"Advise the king to be vigilant to the prime minister and distinguish between loyalty and treachery."

"Don't let the Great Zhao perish in our hands!"

Queen Dowager Zhao ignored Chu Long and didn't even listen to what he said. She was just thinking about how to deal with Guo Kai's insolence.

Zhao Yi tightened his grip on Chu Long's neck and said with a smile, "If Zuo Shi is tired, don't say anything."

"I will personally send you off!"

As he spoke, Zhao Yi had already walked out of Zhaomei Pool carrying Chu Long and headed towards the gate of Longtai Palace.

"I, your humble servant, greet Master Zuo! I greet Lord Chunping!"

Seeing from afar that Zhao Yi was dragging Chu Long like a dead dog, the guards at the palace gate were horrified but dared not say much. They just bowed and opened the palace gate.

Zhao Yi waved his hand and said, "The king has not allowed us to leave the palace late at night."

"This palace gate cannot be opened."

Several city gate guards looked at each other, and finally asked tentatively: "May I ask Chunping Jun, do you need us to report on your behalf?"

Zhao Yi said solemnly: "The king has already gone to bed, how can we trouble the king for such a trivial matter?"

"The palace guard is of utmost importance, and we cannot allow you to leave your post for any reason."

"You just need to guard the palace gates well. I will go to the Prime Minister to discuss the matter of leaving the palace."

The palace guards hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes!"

Watching Zhao Yi leave in a swagger, the guard Zhao Po hurriedly took off his cloak and was about to put it on Chu Long.

But Zhao Po had just taken two steps towards Chu Long when the captain Zhao E grabbed Zhao Po's shoulder and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Po explained: "Master Zuo is soaked all over. It is winter now and snow is falling."

"If you don't put on some clothes, Master Zuo will definitely catch a cold due to the freezing weather and being soaked all over."

Zhao E's voice was somewhat inexplicable: "Didn't you hear what Chunping Jun said just now?"

"We cannot leave our post for any reason!"

Zhao Po said puzzledly: "I have never left my post without permission!"

Zhao E pointed to the place where Zhao Po had been standing and asked, "Why didn't you leave your post without permission?"

"That's where you should stand!"

Zhao Po was surprised and said: "It's just a few steps, how can it be considered..."

Halfway through his words, Zhao Po's face became even more shocked: "Lord Chunping, do you want Zuo Shi to die?!"

Zhao E remained silent and just sighed softly.

Zhao Po whispered in disbelief: "But that's Zuo Shi! He was the minister appointed by the previous king to assist in government affairs!"

"How dare Chunping Jun treat Zuo Shi like this!"

Zhao E said softly, "I don't know how Chunping Jun dares to treat Zuo Shi in this way."

"I only know that if we dare to help Master Zuo in any way."

"You, me, all of our comrades tonight and our families."

"Everyone will die!"

"But if we remain indifferent, Master Zuo still has a chance to hold on until the palace gate opens tomorrow and wait for help from others."

Looking at Chu Long lying on the ground with weak breathing, Zhao Po shouted angrily: "Zuo Shi is the backbone of our Great Zhao!"

"Just because we are afraid of death, do we have to watch Master Zuo die in front of you and me?"

Zhao E looked at Zhao Po with complicated eyes: "Do you think that we who saw Chunping Jun drag Zuo Shi here with our own eyes have a chance to survive?"

"We're going to die anyway."

"Think about your family and the families of your comrades!"

Zhao Po was stunned.

Zhao Po was not afraid of death, and he knew that Zhao E was not afraid of death either.

But when Zhao Po thought of his newly born little son, and then of Zhao E's old mother who was over fifty years old but always brought them eggs with a smile, Zhao Po felt truly afraid.

They all have weaknesses!

With his head lowered, Zhao Po retreated to his original position as if he was walking through a sea of ​​fire and swords, then he knelt down in front of Chu Long and kowtowed vigorously: "It is my incompetence!"

Following Zhao Po, one guard after another knelt on the ground facing Chu Long, their eyes full of self-blame and unwillingness.

Zhao E cried out in a sad voice: "What kind of world is this!"

"This Great Zhao, this Great Zhao...Alas!"

Kneeling on the ground, Zhao E also bowed to Chu Long and cried out in a sad voice: "It is my incompetence!"

Chu Long reluctantly sat up and gave a bleak smile to the palace guards: "No problem."

"Since I entered the palace, I have never thought about leaving alive."

"It's my fault that I have caused trouble for you all."

Looking towards the direction of the Dragon Terrace Hall, Chu Long sighed softly: "This official, after all, was a step behind, and fell into the prime minister's plan of killing someone with a borrowed knife."

"I wonder if the king will pay more attention to the Queen Mother because of what happened tonight, and neglect to be vigilant against the Prime Minister."

"I beg you to see the wisdom of the king, and I beg for the blessings of the previous kings."

"Bless our great Zhao."

"Ten thousand years!"
