Chapter 353: Let’s go and kill Zhao Gao!
Crash~
Two long spears, gleaming with a faint green luster in the sunlight, crossed left and right, blocking Concubine Chu.
Ichiro pretended to be calm and shouted loudly:
"The Queen has ordered..."
Bang~
Before he could finish his words, a red robe sleeve with a fragrant breeze brushed across his face, taking away a slight burning pain.
The jade hand that had just slapped the official in the face grabbed the long spear in front of it with lightning speed, pulled it down suddenly, and swung it backhanded.
When
The long spear hit the bluestone floor, splashing some sparks and leaving a small hole on the bluestone.
After holding the long spear, the official fell to the ground with cold sweat on his forehead - if he had not reacted quickly and fallen to avoid the blow, he would have been chopped to pieces alive.
He had always heard that Concubine Chu had a bad temper, but today he finally experienced it for himself.
The beautiful face of Concubine Chu was filled with murderous intent. She smashed the frightened official with her long spear, and without saying a word, she rushed in with a large number of eunuchs and palace maids.
These people were not worthy of her stopping or speaking.
The official's chest and abdomen were in pain from being hit. He stood up with a grimace, leaning on his long spear. He covered his chest and glanced at his unfamiliar colleague next to him, complaining that this Iron Eagle Swordsman, who was selected from 800 out of 100,000 and was considered a veteran among the Iron Eagle Swordsmen, did not take action.
The Iron Eagle Swordsman, who looked to be in his forties, automatically retracted his spear and looked straight ahead, with no intention of going in to inform the enemy - he didn't want to cause trouble.
The Iron Eagle Swordsmen, like the Armored Sect, were elite soldiers trained by Ying Chengjiao. The Iron Eagle Swordsmen had one chief instructor and three deputy instructors.
The first chief instructor was called Teng.
He was deceived by the Queen Mother and resigned.
The second generation does not show his true face to people. He wears an extremely beautiful female ghost mask. The Iron Eagle Swordsmen are all called Rakshasa.
The reason Chang'an Jun gave for her resignation was that she got married, and her husband was narrow-minded and did not allow her to show up in public.
All the Iron Eagle Swordsmen said that their husbands were not good at dealing with things, so they asked them whether they were from Qin or not.
It was not until the newly-crowned Concubine Chu brought wedding wine to reward the Iron Eagle Swordsman that everyone broke out in cold sweats.
Only then did they realize that the person who was narrow-minded in Chang'an Jun's eyes and unpleasant in their eyes was the current King of Qin.
[You are brave enough to dare to provoke Rakshasa. You can even save your life...]
The old Iron Eagle swordsman held the long spear, his palms sweaty.
Just now, when he had to swing the long spear to stop the Rakshasa due to his duty, he was terrified. He held the spear tightly with both hands to prevent the Rakshasa from snatching it, and his legs were tense and ready to dodge at any time.
The young official next to him, who was twenty years younger than him, actually dared to order Luosha around. The fact that he survived only proved that Luosha's temper had improved a lot after he got married.
The old Iron Eagle Swordsman still remembered that when General Wang Jian, who was not yet the Marquis of Wucheng, attacked Chu, he had long since made the Princess of Chu, who was the chief instructor of the Iron Eagle Swordsmen, wear a Rakshasa mask and trained them to hover between life and death.
If it weren't for that period of time, when Chang'an Jun, who was always on duty and never came to take care of them, had unexpectedly followed them from morning to night, at least half of the eight hundred Iron Eagle Swordsmen would have been killed, and it would have been impossible for all of them to have survived intact.
The impetuous Concubine Chu rushed around in the courtyard of Afang Palace and tried to stop them. All the palace maids and eunuchs belonging to the Queen were knocked to the ground by the eunuchs and palace maids she brought with her.
The courtyard, which had been sunny and peaceful, suddenly became a mess. Cries of pain and eunuchs and palace maids fell to the ground everywhere.
Clang~
When Concubine Chu was still three steps away from the main gate of Afang Palace, the main gate was opened from the inside and the double doors stood wide open.
Queen Afang was graceful and elegant, with a cold expression and no gentleness at all.
"presumptuous!"
When the phoenix sings, all the birds bow their heads.
The chaotic courtyard suddenly became quiet.
The palace maids and eunuchs belonging to the Afang Palace climbed up from the ground. Those whose legs were not hit lowered their heads and walked back to their original positions obediently. Those whose legs were hit lowered their heads, staggered, and limped back to their original positions.
The eunuchs brought by Concubine Chu started beating people, while the palace maids also lowered their heads and stood behind Concubine Chu.
They couldn't withstand the power of the Queen of Qin.
Everyone returned to their positions very quickly and the situation was under control in an instant.
But no matter how fast she was, she could not be faster than Concubine Chu. Just now she was only three steps away from the gate of Afang Palace.
"What do you want to do?"
Afang gritted his teeth and whispered in Concubine Chu's ear.
Concubine Chu, who was dressed in bright red, ignored her and did not stop for her.
She called out her calls and Concubine Chu went her own way, without disturbing each other.
At the moment, the Queen was blocking the door, although the main entrance of Afang Palace was very wide, wide enough for three people to walk side by side.
But Afang deliberately blocked the way, so Concubine Chu could not get in.
Concubine Chu, who was disturbed, frowned and was very unhappy. She looked at the queen with dissatisfaction, took a step back, and loudly spoke the first words of this trip.
"I'm looking for a bottle."
She would not whisper anything to the Queen. Firstly, she was not interested in women, and secondly, she acted uprightly and was not afraid of trouble at all.
Ah Fang suppressed his anger and said:
"Ping'er wasn't here. The day before yesterday..."
Concubine Chu interrupted impatiently.
"Stop lying and pissing yourself. I'm not in the mood to sing a song with you. Put the bottle out quickly. "
The voice of these words was still as loud as before. All the palace maids and eunuchs present, no matter which faction they belonged to, all buried their heads even deeper.
They wish they were an ostrich and could bury their heads in the sand.
Concubine Chu cursed the Queen, is this something they can listen to?
They had known that Concubine Chu had a bad temper and had experienced it before, but today they had a new understanding of Concubine Chu's temper.
The queen is the master of the harem. In the harem, theoretically, the queen's status is higher than that of the first emperor.
In fact, the status of Queen Afang was not higher than that of the First Emperor, but one level lower than that of the First Emperor - the First Emperor was a god in the Qin State.
The personal maid behind Concubine Chu carefully tugged at her robe, reminding her concubine to be careful, because that was the Queen.
"Don't pull me."
Impatiently slapping away the little hand behind her, Concubine Chu glanced at Afang, whose face was ashen.
"I knew you wouldn't hand it over. I'll find it myself. Go to the side."
He stepped forward and pulled Afang with his arm across.
"Mi Chu!"
Afang grabbed Concubine Chu's arm and shouted.
Mi Chu is the name of the Concubine Chu.
"What?"
Concubine Chu narrowed her eyes and glanced at the five fingers grasping her red sleeves.
"You want to fight me? I've been wanting to try Lilong for a long time!"
That’s all.
The red sleeves flutter.
The bright red color covered the main gate of the Afang Palace. The leaping and leaping figure was like a phoenix with spread wings, dancing in the raging flames, and reborn from the fire.
The ostentatious robes concealed the figures of the two people.
Although there were many people present at the fight between the two, no one witnessed it with their own eyes.
Hearing the noise of the eunuchs fighting, the palace maids were all frightened and trembling, as if those noises were the sound of hitting them.
They knew that the Queen and Concubine Chu were fighting, but they didn't dare to do anything.
If you keep your head down and pretend to be deaf and dumb and act like a dead person, you may die.
If you raise your head and speak to dissuade someone from living, you will surely die.
Dozens of breaths later, when the red allowed other colors to enter, Concubine Chu placed her arm around Afang's neck and pressed him against the main door.
Concubine Chu could not hide the disappointment on her face.
"Is this the Lilong my brother mentioned?"
Standing up, she clapped her hands to set the queen free. Concubine Chu shouted at the main entrance to the Afang Palace:
"Come out on your own, I'm too lazy to go in!"
Not long after, the sound of brisk footsteps came closer and closer, and Ping'er, with a sweet smile on her face, walked out from the depths of the Afang Palace.
When she saw the real person, the irritability on Concubine Chu's face disappeared, and her dissatisfaction increased. She questioned Ping'er before Ping'er came close to her.
"Why didn't you come out when you knew I was coming?"
She originally thought that Afang was very skilled in martial arts and Ping'er was captured. But after the fight just now, it was clear that Afang's martial arts skills were very high for an ordinary person, almost as good as an Iron Eagle Swordsman.
But to Ping'er, an Iron Eagle Swordsman is definitely not enough.
When they reached the main entrance, Ping'er saw that Afang's clothes were disheveled and her face looked frighteningly ugly, so she hurried forward to help Afang tidy up her clothes. This action made Afang's face look much better.
The Concubine Chu who asked the question obviously didn't want to find out the answer and just complained.
Seeing Ping'er coming forward to help Afang tidy up her clothes instead of doing her job, he went up to her and pulled Ping'er out by the wrist.
"Mi Chu, don't push me!"
Afang, whose clothes were only half arranged, did not move, and spoke in a deep voice to Concubine Chu's back.
Princess Chu kept walking and ignored him.
Ping'er, who had been wanting to run away, turned around and gave an apologetic look.
The palace maids and eunuchs brought by Concubine Chu all ran away hurriedly after their own concubine, with their heads down and looking dejected, as if they were the ones who had lost the fight.
Queen Afang stood in front of the main gate of Afang Palace, watching a large group of people leave. She stood there for a long time, with an expression changing constantly.
Thinking of the last apologetic look of the personal maid, all those complicated emotions finally turned into a long sigh.
"Stupid girl..."
With Ping'er by her side, she can always stay away from the vortex of struggle and she can always protect this little maid.
Ping'er's departure this time has caused such a big mess that she will definitely not be able to come back.
After figuring out all the procedures of Ping'er's message delivery and being able to forge a carrier pigeon message, Ping'er is no longer useful.
The best way is to kill her rather than put her under house arrest, but the queen couldn't bring herself to kill this silly girl who was as love-minded as she was.
Inside the Chu Concubine’s palace.
Concubine Chu dismissed all the outsiders, and she and Ping'er were the only ones left in the palace that was brightly lit by sunlight.
"You better tell me something."
Concubine Chu glanced at Ping'er unkindly.
"Afang wanted to put you under house arrest just to get rid of my brother's spies. I am at a great disadvantage this time. I will be very unhappy if I cannot be his concubine just because of you."
"well."
Ping'er sighed, sat down on the chair, propped up her chin with both hands, and said enviously:
"You often contradict His Majesty, but His Majesty neither punishes you nor punishes you. You are not like that poor Concubine Hu, who is physically and mentally trapped. His Majesty loves you, so how can you be in trouble?"
Concubine Chu snorted coldly.
"It's true that he loves me, but it's also true that he loves Afang more. This time I saved you and slapped Afang in the face. For the sake of Afang's power, he will definitely punish me."
"That won't make me lose my position as a concubine. It's just a show for those resentful concubines in the deep palace. How about I apologize for my crime?
"If I can be accepted by you, I will be willing to beg Qingmei and Dingxiang for forgiveness ten times."
"What's wrong with you? I rescued you, and you want me to go to Afang to apologize? If that bastard hadn't asked me to look after you, I must see you once within half a month. You see, I don't care whether you live or die!"
Ping'er smiled foolishly.
"Hehe, Master still loves me."
Concubine Chu poured cold water on him.
"Why didn't he take you away if he loved you? Why didn't he eat you up like a green plum or a clove?"
Listening to Ping'er's leisurely narration, Concubine Chu thought that she was fine. The person she challenged the master of the harem to save didn't seem to need her to save him, and she was filled with resentment.
"That's a big use for me!"
Ping'er was dissatisfied and said:
"There are some news that only I can know!"
[Is there really something wrong? ]
Princess Chu put away her other thoughts and calmed down, just like that night when she asked her son Ying Jianglu to repeat the situation over and over again.
"Tell me, what's the news?"
"There is something strange about Concubine Hu's death."
Bang!
Concubine Chu was instantly defeated and slammed the table in dissatisfaction.
"That's all? Which concubine in the palace died of natural causes?"
Although she and Concubine Hu are both from the Chu people, Concubine Chu certainly does not want to know the story behind this and pollute her ears.
These hidden dirty things in the harem are not her business. First, these things cannot be traced to her, and second, she is not the queen.
Ping'er wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of her mouth, her lowered eyes filled with murderous intent.
"After saying that the Eighteenth Prince was the son of Lord Chang'an, Concubine Hu committed suicide by slashing her sword."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Concubine Chu pounded the table and laughed loudly, unrestrained and uninhibited.
"That brat has come to this? He deserves it! Concubine Hu must not know that the brat is practicing Huangdi, otherwise she would never say such ridiculous words."
"I also think it's ridiculous, but your Majesty doesn't think it's ridiculous."
Concubine Chu glanced at Ping'er.
"Have you been drugged by that bastard? Your Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy, a man of rare talent. Would you believe such provocation? That bastard Yuan Yang failed to reveal this, Xia Wuqie told Your Majesty a few months ago."
Princess Chu held her waist with both hands, but couldn't hold it.
Although they were both from Chu, her waist was not as thin as that of the deceased Concubine Hu.
"There must be someone behind Concubine Hu's incident. This person is trying to sow discord. We need to find this person!"
"The Queen, Zhang Han, and Zhao Gao have all died. There is no trace of this person. Not only that."
There was murderous intent in Ping'er's eyes.
"Zhang Han also found a huge red glass bead in the treasure box hidden by Concubine Hu.
"Your Excellency cannot break your own body, but you can break Concubine Hu's body.
"Zhao Gao, who was in charge of the investigation, was caned. With the tacit approval of the Queen, the Jingshifang had already reached the Afang Palace."
Concubine Chu frowned.
"You mean, His Majesty believed it? That's why Zhao Gao gained power?"
Ping'er nodded and told Concubine Chu everything she knew.
Concubine Chu sorted out Ping'er's words in her mind and turned to look at the palace gate. Among the eunuchs who had been dismissed outside the palace gate, there was one wearing a close-fitting silk eunuch's uniform.
Ping'er had no reason to lie to her, and the new eunuchs who had joined her palace also indirectly proved the truthfulness of Ping'er's words.
She covered her forehead and said speechlessly:
"My man, is he so stupid?"
Tap tap
Ping'er knocked on the table twice and reminded in dissatisfaction:
"At this moment, the focus should be on Zhao Gao. Didn't the master tell you to be wary of Zhao Gao?"
"Oh, he is just looking for trouble. He killed a eunuch without any reason, but he still had to ask for a reason and test me, which caused me to have a face-to-face conflict with Afang today."
The Princess of Chu stood up angrily. She couldn't reach Ying Chengjiao because he was in Han, but Zhao Gao was in Xianyang.
She hurriedly picked up the bottle.
"Let's go and kill Zhao Gao!"
If you want to kill a eunuch, you can kill him at will. What is there to be wary of?
