Qiang Qin

When Zhao Gaomen entered the hall, he saw Ziying dressed in a black dragon robe, with a twelve-pronged imperial crown on his head that he would only wear when meeting sacrifices, and sitting on the dragon couch with a golden cup in his hand. On the left and right of him stood a few servants with low brows and obedient faces. It seemed that he had lost his anger, and those servants dare not show their anger until now.Seeing Zhao Gao coming in, Ziying opened his mouth and said, "Prime Minister, what should I do when you say that the army supporting Su is coming? These slaves see that I am busy with government affairs and don't know how to share my worries. Instead, they spread something in the palace. I got rumors about my injustice, if I was not afraid that killing them at this time would lead to more rumors, I would have cut you to pieces." He drank the wine in his glass fiercely while speaking.

Hearing what Ziying said, Zhao Gao felt a little relieved. It turned out that the reason why the emperor called him into the palace overnight was because of Fusu's attack and the unruly servants in the palace. This could also explain why some servants in the palace changed. Ziying was afraid that the news would have a bad impact on him.So Zhao Gao said: "Don't worry, the emperor, my Xianyang city has high walls and thick walls. The food in the city is enough to last for a year, and there are still several officials and their families who can be used when Fusu attacks. Fusu came to attack my Xianyang city. , It won’t be successful in a year or so, and General Zhang Han will have returned with his troops by then. So although the Fusu army is very powerful now, it is completely impossible to break my Xianyang.” Having said that, Zhao Gao paused, "As for these slaves who dare to spread rumors and cause trouble, why should the emperor bother, I can get rid of them." His tone changed from respectful to serious.

When all the servants heard that he was about to dispose of themselves, their complexions changed drastically. They knelt down in front of Zhao Gao and knelt their heads repeatedly, saying, "Please forgive me, Lord Zhao, please forgive me!" In front of Gao, his hands were tightly clutching Zhao Gao's clothes, but he repeatedly begged for forgiveness.

Holding his saber in one hand, Zhao Gao snatched the hem of his clothes back from their hands with the other, and said coldly, "You have already committed a capital crime, even if you ask the prime minister for mercy, it will be useless." But those servants just cried and begged for mercy , the sound echoed throughout the hall, even people outside the door could hear it clearly.The few guards who followed Zhao Gao into the palace heard the crying and crying inside, their faces were full of disapproval, and their hearts were filled with contempt for this group of servants: "These people are so short, they are so afraid of death! "

At this time, Ziying seemed not to mind these disrespects, and continued to ask: "I wonder if the prime minister has a way to make Fusu lead his troops back, so that he won't invade our Great Qin land again?"

Zhao Gao was so dizzy from the quarrel of the servants, he couldn't think about Ziying's problem, he just shook his head and said: "The only way for me to help Su retreat immediately is to stick to Xianyang City and wait for Zhang Han to lead the army to help."

"Since the prime minister has no way to make Fusu withdraw from the army, I have a plan here to make Fusu withdraw willingly." Ziying said.

"The emperor is wise, what kind of clever plan is this?" Zhao Gao was so troubled by those servants that he didn't even see the murderous intent on Ziying's face, he just wished he could kill these people cleanly.

"It's very simple, just borrow something from Mr. Zhao and send it to Fusu's tent." Ziying sneered with a murderous look on his face.

Only then did Zhao Gao feel that something was wrong, but he still asked, "What is it?"

"Your head!" As soon as the word "head" came out, the golden cup that Ziying had been holding in his hand fell to the ground, making a "jingle".With this sound, the servants who were prostrate in front of Zhao Gao rushed up, some pulled their hands and some feet, some hugged their chests and some hugged their necks, all of a sudden they made Zhao Gao unable to move. One of them took out a dagger and stabbed at Zhao Gao's heart.Although they were using their hands hard, they kept begging for mercy loudly, so Zhao Gao's cry for help when he was restrained was completely suppressed by their voices, and Zhao Gao himself was also an eunuch. , so his voice was not ear-catching among the servants.The guards outside the door were still begging for mercy like the servants inside, but there were earth-shaking changes inside.

It turned out that before Zhao Gao came, Ziying discussed for a long time with the servants who were loyal to him. In order to prevent Zhao Gao from yelling and recruiting guards when Zhao Gao was attacked, so that the plan would not succeed, they came up with the voice of begging for mercy. The method of spreading the law.Only the servant who is an eunuch will notice that Zhao Gao's voice is similar to his own, and make use of it.

Seeing the dagger piercing Zhao Gao's heart, Ziying felt a burst of excitement as he could get rid of this great disaster without using his hands, and couldn't help but stepped forward to see clearly.At this time, there was a "click", the glazed tiles on the head suddenly shattered, a black shadow descended from the sky, and grabbed the dagger in his hand as soon as he stretched out his hand, before Ziying could see clearly what the black shadow was. Something, those servants who were entangled with Zhao Gao's body were all sent flying by him.

Ziying's reaction was not unpleasant. Just when Zhao Gao was able to get away, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Come here, there are assassins! Come here, there are assassins!" The guards outside opened the palace door immediately He rushed in and saw Zhao Gao being supported by the black shadow.They took it for granted that the assassin was going to assassinate Zhao Gao and Ziying, and they didn't want to know how the assassin got into the palace, so they shouted and killed him.

The man in black is none other than Mo Jiuxing, the great son of the Mo family who has never shown his face.Because he only agreed to do one thing for Zhao Gao, so it is not a big problem. Zhao Gao will not labor him. Since the last time he failed to assassinate Fu Su, Zhao Gao just kept him in the mansion, even when he was dealing with Hu Hai. Did not let him make a move.It wasn't until today that he felt uneasy, so he asked someone to call Mo Jiuxing to protect him, just in case, and Zhao Gao knew that if he didn't encounter serious trouble, Mo Jiuxing would not make a move, so he still owed him money. With a promise to myself, I can also ask him to help me complete a difficult task.Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao guessed right this time. Mo Jiuxing followed him into the palace, and then uncovered a piece of glazed tiles above the bedroom to look at it. Saved Zhao Gao's life.

Although Zhao Gao was rescued by him, he couldn't speak because his throat was choked by the servant, so he could only watch helplessly as his city committee also attacked Mo Jiuxing.Because Mo Jiuxing followed the ascetic way of the Mo family, he didn't interact with people in Zhao Gao's mansion, so the snow guard didn't know him at all.But Mo Jiuxing knew them, and he would only kill people under Zhao Gao's order, otherwise he would not kill innocent people, so although his skills were much higher than these guards, he did not To kill them is to knock them down.

At this time, other guards in the palace had already got the news and rushed over, and soon surrounded the whole palace, and then many guards rushed in, separating Ziying, Zhao Gao and Mo Jiuxing.Under the siege of a group of guards, Mo Jiuxing couldn't protect Zhao Gao for a while. In addition, he thought that since Ziying wanted to deal with Zhao Gao in such a secret way, it meant that he didn't want to be known. Gao is safe, so he only cared about his own protection, leaving Zhao Gao's safety to the guards.

Zhao Gao was not too far away from Ziying, and there were guards standing around the two of them at this time, so even if Zhao Gao wanted to kill Ziying for revenge, he couldn't do it, so he could only stare at Ziying with hatred, panting heavily , at this time he was a little better.

A group of servants were also surrounded by the guards. Although they wanted to take advantage of the chaos and kill Zhao Gao in order to prevent him from killing all of them later to vent their anger, it was a pity that they were too far away from Zhao Gao. Killing him is beyond reach.

After Zhao Gao rested for a period of time, his throat was able to make a sound, but he couldn't figure out how to say this matter in his heart.Obviously, he must not say that Ziying is going to kill him now, and that Mo Jiuxing is here to protect him. Even if he has the power to rule the world, he is still a courtier. When the courtier met the emperor, he actually brought someone to the palace, which is obviously unreasonable .But if he didn't say anything, then Mo Jiuxing would definitely die in the hands of more and more guards. No matter how good his martial arts skills were, he couldn't defeat hundreds of enemies, so Zhao Gao's attention was shifted to the two sides who were fighting.Some of the other guards who hadn't stepped forward to fight Mo Jiuxing were outside the hall to guard against the possibility of assassins sneaking in, while others were guarding Ziying and Zhao Gao, fearing that Mo Jiuxing would suddenly be unfavorable to them.

But no one really paid attention to the emperor who was protected by everyone—Ziying, who was quietly leaning towards Zhao Gao, with his hands in his arms, holding the dagger tightly, and his eyes were fixed on Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao's chest.He knew that if he couldn't kill Zhao Gao this time, he would be in danger, so he must kill Zhao Gao this time. Now it's not for the world of Great Qin, but for his own life.

Finally, let Ziying move to Zhao Gao's side, Zhao Gao also found him, but he didn't believe that he dared to harm himself in front of everyone, so his attention was still on Mo Jiuxing, he had already thought about it The idea is that this Mo Jiuxing is a master in the palace, presumably these guards don't dare to delve into it.And the assassins are those servants, and this Mo Jiuxing is only eager to protect him.

Zhao Gao opened his mouth to tell everyone to stop, when suddenly he felt a chill in his chest, followed by a tingling pain, when he looked down, he saw Ziying's hand take the dagger from the dagger that stabbed him. open.His pause turned into a grunt.At this time, the surrounding guards also noticed that something was wrong with Zhao Gao, and they quickly cast concerned eyes on him, and when they saw the dagger stuck in his chest, everyone was stunned, including the one who was fighting hard with the guards. Mo Jiuxing also discovered this.
