Chapter 193: Blood Flows in Ganquan Palace
The screams, wails, and pleas for mercy inside Ganquan Palace were mixed together, and the two door gods guarding the entrance to Ganquan Palace could hear them clearly.
When he opened his eyes, Gai Nie's eyes were as bright as stars, frighteningly bright, and he reached out to push the door.
Zhang Han, who had been tense and prepared, had a stress reaction and grabbed Gai Nie's hands.
Gai Nie raised his expressionless face, his eyes full of questions.
"What?"
Zhang Han held onto Gai Nie's hands tightly.
"What are you doing?"
"Push the door and take a look."
"Your Majesty does not allow anyone to enter or leave. Does anyone here include you, Gai Nie? Do you want to disobey His Majesty's order?"
"Nie is not going in again."
“…”
"let go."
Zhang Han took a deep breath and held on tighter.
"Gai Nie, I don't know if you are pretending to be stupid or you are really stupid. His Majesty's order cannot be understood literally. Not allowing anyone to enter or leave is to keep the affairs of Ganquan Palace secret. You are not allowed to visit."
Gai Nie had no expression on his face.
"Are you His Majesty?"
“…”
"Nie asks you, are you His Majesty?"
"...Don't go too far!"
Zhang Han gritted his teeth.
Are you saying that you want to usurp the throne?
The three Yi tribes.
If you say no, have you really thought about this question?
He intended to usurp the throne and his three clans were exterminated.
There is no correct answer to this question, and the correct answers to some of them may be fatal.
Gai Nie looked at Zhang Han with a look that said "are you sick?", which made Zhang Han so furious.
"Since you don't answer, then Nie will say it for you. You are not His Majesty. Since you are not His Majesty, how do you know that His Majesty's words have other meanings? Did His Majesty tell you?"
Is this something that your majesty should not tell me? Why did Chang'an Jun send this weirdo into the palace!
Zhang Han was extremely angry.
Noticing that Gai Nie was pulling his hand back forcefully, his eyes turned cold and he didn't even think about lecturing Gai Nie anymore.
He pushed his body forward, grabbed Gai Nie's arm and pressed it against Gai Nie's body.
"No matter how good you are at making excuses, I will not let you go."
You are the one who is quibbling, sir. I am clearly arguing with you seriously.
Gai Nie thought to himself.
He glanced down at Zhang Han's tightly clenched hands and said coldly, "Let go."
Gai Nie always spoke in this tone, even the First Emperor was used to it, but Zhang Han was not.
The doctor's eyes were filled with anger, and his long-pent-up rage towards Gai Nie exploded.
He took another step forward, his body almost touching Gai Nie's. Gai Nie's eyes flashed with displeasure.
"Don't be so presumptuous just because you were introduced to the palace by Lord Chang'an..."
You talk too much.
Gai Nie listened half way.
The inner force surged, the sword intent burst out, and the long sword at the waist rang without wind.
Zhang Han's eyes were filled with horror before he finished speaking.
"How dare you!"
As he spoke, he was pushed back three steps in succession by Gai Nie's full strength, and there were three consecutive clacking sounds of footsteps.
It’s not that Zhang Han’s martial arts skills are not as good as Gai Nie’s, but that he doesn’t dare to use his full strength.
Both of them are peerless masters, and if they use all their strength, the noise they cause must be quite big.
When Zhang Han was asked by the First Emperor to guard the gate, he had too many concerns and did not dare to start a war.
But Gai Nie dared, the Sword Saint was not afraid of anything.
Snap~
The sound of the sword being unsheathed is clear and loud.
In order to prevent Zhang Han from stopping him again, Gai Nie slashed the gate of Ganquan Palace with a sword.
"stop!"
Zhang Han was so shocked and angry that he dared not hold back anymore and hurriedly drew his sword to stop him.
No matter how loud the noise made by the fight between the two men , it was not as loud as Gai Nie smashing the gate of Ganquan Palace.
But it's too late.
Gai Nie drew his sword extremely quickly, and he had finished the strike before Zhang Han could even shout “Stop”.
When Zhang Han handed over the sword, Gai Nie had already sheathed it.
Zhang Han blocked the way with his body, standing in front of Gai Nie. The skull on his armor kept shaking, as if it wanted to come alive and devour Gai Nie's flesh and blood.
Zhang Han, with an ugly look on his face, really wanted to kill Gai Nie.
"Asshole! How dare you do this!"
Zhang Han growled.
Gai Nie did not respond.
His eyes looked past Zhang Han's head, watching the tall gate of Ganquan Palace embroidered with patterns of strange beasts slowly falling down.
With a loud "clang", the slanted half of the palace gate fell to the ground, no longer blocking Gai Nie's sight.
Gai Nie's gaze went straight into the palace.
Seeing Xie Ti's long sword, the First Emperor stepped on the lake where blood had flowed and walked to the open space where the blood had not flowed, leaving bloody footprints with every step.
With every step he took, the bloody footprints became lighter, and the First Emperor was closer to the palace gate.
Gai Nie glanced at the bodies of the maids on the ground, pursed his lips, and stood back in his original position.
He turned his back to Ganquan Palace, looking very dedicated to his duties, as if nothing had happened just now.
Zhang Han and Gai Nie performed opposite actions.
He was originally facing away from Ganquan Palace and facing Gai Nie.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, he turned around immediately and caught a glimpse of the figure of the First Emperor out of the corner of his eye.
Immediately bowed his head.
The First Emperor saw everything the two did and stepped over the fallen palace gate.
The blade of the sword in his hand was still bleeding, and the First Emperor looked at Gai Nie with a smile on his face.
"Gai Nie, why did you break the door?"
Gai Nie pointed at Zhang Han, who stood respectfully, and said coldly, "He wouldn't let me open the door."
These six words.
Justified.
Zhang Han: ...
He didn't know whether Gai Nie was really sick or just pretending, but he felt that Gai Nie was sick.
Your Majesty will definitely beat him with a stick again. If it weren't for Chang'an Jun's face, he would have beaten him to death this time.
Zhang Han, with his head lowered, did not hear the words of the First Emperor when he sentenced Gai Nie to be caned, but instead heard the words of the First Emperor with an undiminished smile.
"If I don't allow you to open the door, you're going to break it down? Have you thought about the cost of breaking the door down?"
"I'll pay whatever amount you want."
Anything involving money is not a problem for Gai Nie, who has a former master.
Before Zhang Han could figure out why the First Emperor's tone was so nice, he was immediately amused by Gai Nie's words.
Is this a money thing?
This is a fatal matter!
Ganquan Palace is the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Your actions mean that you intend to enter the palace and assassinate the Queen Mother.
You want to settle it with money, how ridiculous! Wait until His Majesty is furious!
"One hundred gold."
The words of the First Emperor once again reached Zhang Han's ears.
Zhang Han: ...
His expression froze, his mind was in a mess, and he stood there in a mess.
Gai Nie hesitated and felt that it was a bit expensive. Why should a door breaking cost one hundred gold?
But thinking that the items in the building were several times more expensive than those sold outside, he nodded without further ado.
Anyway, the young master has plenty of money.
The First Emperor swung his sword twice and reached out his hand to Gai Nie.
Gai Nie looked at the First Emperor's hand and didn't understand what the First Emperor meant.
"Jinpa, I need to wipe the sword."
Gai Nie looked at the First Emperor with a look that said, "Where can I get you a handkerchief? I'm not a bootlicker like Zhao Gao."
The First Emperor raised his hand and said nothing, as if he would not stop until the emperor handed over the handkerchief.
Gai Nie looked down at the white shirt stained with blood on his lower body, thinking that he would no longer need this white shirt, so he tore off a piece of white strip that was not stained with blood and handed it to the First Emperor.
The First Emperor laughed heartily, looking very happy.
While wiping the sword with a white strip, he said, "Why do you have to open the door? Are you worried about my safety?"
"no."
The First Emperor paused while wiping his sword, and continued to rub it while asking, "Why is that?"
"I want His Majesty to stop."
