Chapter 149: With your strength, can you kill that guy?
Zhao Gao lowered his head habitually and did not look directly at Zhao Ji who was lying on his bed.
Then he turned around and closed the two doors.
Standing in front of the door, he channeled his inner strength into his ears, sensing any movement around him to see if there was a third person hiding nearby.
With Zhao Gao's superb martial arts skills, he could hear all the movements around him, including people's heartbeats and breathing.
There are no more than ten people in the world who can hide within a ten-meter radius of Zhao Gao after he did this.
"No need to be so careful, no one comes here."
Zhao Ji was wearing an exquisite white gauze dress and amusing herself with her fingers tangled in her hair.
"It's better to be careful."
Zhao Gao responded to Zhao Ji, then held the door with his hand, closed his eyes and continued to listen.
Humans have six senses: eyes, ears, mouth, nose, body, and mind.
Every time a sense is shut down, in order to have better control over the surrounding environment, the brain will distribute the lost perception sensitivity to the remaining five senses, raising the sensitivity of the remaining five senses to a higher level.
This is why most blind people have good hearing.
Zhao Gao closed his eyes in order to enhance his hearing and sense and avoid being overheard by others through the wall.
Zhao Gao closed his eyes and did not hear the third person. He held his breath and did not move.
Six senses: Close four senses: eyes, nose, mouth, and body.
Zhao Gao raised his hearing and senses to the extreme, but he could still only hear the heartbeats of Zhao Ji and himself.
After about ten breaths, Zhao Gao finally made sure that there was no one nearby, then he lowered his head respectfully and turned around.
"The county system, simplified Chinese characters, were all created by Lord Chang'an. Although Lord Chang'an has never held any official position in the court, he has added two national policies to the Qin Dynasty, and he has participated in politics."
Zhao Gao spoke in a steady and humble tone, at a moderate pace and with clear expressions.
Zhao Ji paused wrapping her fingers around her hair and the smile on her face disappeared visibly.
She sat up straight, pulled up her clothes to cover her tall breasts, and her eyes, which had been full of passion just now, now emitted two cold rays of electricity.
"The county system has already been decided by the government, why didn't the white doves be released earlier?"
"Teng entered Xianyang. Gao thought that he had already reported the news of Xianyang to Queen Mother Zhao, so he did not release the white dove."
Zhao Ji stood up and walked lightly to Zhao Gao, caressing his cheek like a mistress.
The skin on Zhao Ji's hands was tight and fair, with the vitality of a young girl in her twenties, and icy cold, just like the first snow that fell every winter.
Zhao Gao did not move.
His eyes did not change, his expression did not change, he just stood there like a puppet.
The snow flowed down Zhao Gao's pale, beardless and respectful face, slid to his exposed neck, then followed the front of his shirt, drawing a straight line across his chest and fell on his lower body.
Zhao Ji tried to steal the bird's eggs, but found nothing.
"It's a clean place."
Bang~
Zhao Ji slapped Zhao Gao in the face with her hands, which were unable to reach the bird.
The sound was crisp but not loud, and there was not even a red mark on Zhao Gao's face, which showed that Zhao Ji did not use much force.
This slap was even more insulting.
"This is not the State of Zhao, and you are not Master Gao. I am grateful to you for protecting my mother and me in Handan, so I will not hold you accountable for this deception. We have already used up our kindness, and if you still have unrealistic fantasies, you can go to see Zhao Yan with your daughter!"
Zhao Ji pushed the door open and walked out, openly and without any reservations.
Less than ten steps later, a woman dressed as a palace maid appeared beside Zhao Ji. She had a strong body, clear curves, and a military style in her movements. Her face was covered with a layer of iron armor.
The place where the woman appeared was only ten feet away from Zhao Gao's bedroom.
Zhao Ji was not at all surprised by the appearance of the iron-faced woman beside her. She kept walking and walked at the same pace, with a slight look of doubt on her face.
"A castrated person will not be affected by the charm."
"I am not familiar with the magic skills, so I cannot answer the Queen Mother's question."
"Find a few eunuchs and send them to my bedroom."
"only."
…
Zhao Gao was sleeping, and he was the only one left in the room.
Zhao Gao closed his eyes and held his breath.
In his ears, Zhao Ji's heartbeat and footsteps were extremely clear.
Not long after.
New heartbeats and footsteps appeared in Zhao Gao's ears without warning.
Zhao Gao's heart beat faster. This was the second person who avoided his perception.
The first one is Jing Ke.
The sound became smaller and smaller.
Zhao Gao opened his eyes without waiting for the sounds to fade away.
As usual, he washed his face with cold water. The cool touch made him know that he was still alive.
He took off his eunuch uniform and hung it on the chair in the middle of the bedroom, then sat on the rosewood bed specially authorized by the First Emperor.
There was a faint fragrance in the air, which was the lingering scent of Zhao Ji. When ordinary people smelled it, their heartbeats quickened and their blood flow increased.
Zhao Gao smiled gently, but there was no lust in his smile, only contempt.
After removing the eunuch boots from his feet, a faint smell of blood dispersed the fragrance.
All ten of Zhao Gao's toes penetrated the socks, and the front ends of the linen socks, which should have been snow-white, turned bright red.
He took off his bloodstained and torn white socks and threw them into the bronze barrel, then lit a fire stick and threw it in as well.
Orange-red flames leaped up in the bronze barrel, the socks were swallowed by the flames, the flames rose and fell, and the dormitory was filled with light.
When Zhao Gao placed his feet in a copper basin filled with cold water, he felt severe pain in all ten toes and the clear water quickly turned red.
If someone picked up the eunuch boots that Zhao Gao took off and looked at the bottom, they would see that the tips of the bottoms of the boots were full of blood holes.
The fingers are connected to the heart.
Only such severe pain could prevent Zhao Gao from being affected by the magic power.
…
Ganquan Palace.
It was the sleeping palace where successive Queen Mothers of Qin lived, and was built by King Huiwen of Qin.
Queen Mother Mi Bazi gave birth to two sons for King Yiqiu here, and eventually lured King Yiqiu to death here.
The most distinctive building here from other palaces in the Xianyang Palace is the lifelike stone bears, stone tigers, stone lions and other ferocious beasts in the courtyard.
According to legend, Queen Dowager Mi was deeply in love with King Yiqiu, but she had to kill him for the sake of the Qin state.
In order to let the soul of King Yiqiu rest in peace, they built these beasts that the Yiqiu tribe often hunted, so that King Yiqiu, who died in a foreign land, would feel at home.
Under the hazy moonlight, eight eunuchs entered the main gate of Ganquan Palace and came to the inner courtyard of Ganquan Palace.
When the vision is not clear, the leaves rustle in the wind, just like a tiger coming out with the wind.
Those stone beasts that are lifelike during the day seem to come alive at night, opening their mouths wide and showing their fangs in the dark, waiting for prey to come in and eat them.
The eight eunuchs gritted their teeth, their legs trembling, and quickly walked among the beasts, hoping to get through the courtyard as quickly as possible.
It’s not that they are timid and afraid of even stone sculptures, but what they are afraid of is the unknown.
In the past, there were ten palace guards in the inner courtyard of Ganquan Palace at night, with two of them standing guard at three-meter intervals, and torches burning in bronze containers shaped like funnels.
But today, there are no torches and no officials. This place is like the underworld, gloomy and dark.
"Where are you going?"
A soft female voice rang in the ears of the eight nervous eunuchs. The tenderness in the words instantly broke down the eunuchs' psychological defenses.
They stopped immediately, their eyes covered with a layer of bestial lust, and they became more like beasts than the stone beasts around them.
A ray of light slowly came from the woods.
Only when you get closer can you see that it is a burning torch, and you don't have to worry about burning trees or leaking water.
She was wearing a white gauze dress and was barefoot, and her two jade feet were stepping in a straight line every time she walked.
Zhao Ji, the Queen Mother Zhao, appeared in front of the eunuchs with a gentle face, like a female ghost in the forest or an elf in the mountains.
Without exception, the eight eunuchs pounced on Zhao Ji like hungry tigers on sheep. The fangs of the stone tigers were still shining, but not as bright as the wild beasts in the eunuchs' eyes.
No beast is more terrifying than man.
Chachachachachachachachachachacha
Eight soft sounds.
Eight heads.
Eight headless bodies.
The eight bodies, unaware that their heads were missing, continued to rush forward another three feet before they fell chest down to the ground due to inertia, with blood gushing out from the smooth cuts on their necks.
Zhao Ji took two steps back in disgust to avoid the eunuch's blood from splattering on her pure white gauze dress.
The Iron-faced Woman held a long wooden board in both hands. On the board were the heads of eight eunuchs. The tendons at the bottom of the heads were still twitching.
Even though they were dead, the dying expressions of these heads were still full of longing.
Their eyes were wide open, filled with possession, lust, and plunder.
"Queen, these eunuchs are more anxious than ordinary people."
"A castrated person cannot vent his desires, and will be more affected by the magic. How did Zhao Gao remain unaffected?"
"I don't know, but no matter how he does it, it's not an easy thing to do."
"Clean up the traces."
Zhao Ji took a few steps and then stopped.
"With your strength, can you kill that boy?"
"You can give it a try."
"Then let's try it."
…
Three days later, two riders were galloping on the official road.
Zhang Liang, wearing a green knight's robe, rode on horseback with Da Tiechui, who had stayed outside the city of Xianyang to support him.
The horse's crotch neighed continuously under the whip, mixed with the sound of the horse's hooves kicking faster and faster.
But this did not reduce Zhang Liang's sense of crisis and anxiety in the slightest.
The wind blew Zhang Liang's hair back, and the cold wind hurt his face.
Zhang Liang swung his whip as fast as ever, leaving behind a shadow.
This Korean nobleman now has only one idea, to return to Xinzheng.
Xinzheng is the capital of Han and the place where the Zhang family's influence is most deeply rooted.
Only in Xinzheng could Zhang Liang coordinate the entire Han area.
Damn it, Lu Buwei is dead, so how come a Lu's Chamber of Commerce suddenly emerged overnight!
