Chapter 52: Don’t talk too much if you can do it
"It's far away, but let's wait a little longer so that the boss doesn't hear it."
"Okay." The man didn't take the young eunuch seriously at all. He just waited for Liu Hu to go far away so that he could teach the young eunuch a lesson.
When Liu Hu was completely gone, the soldier guarding the gate looked at the young eunuch with a sly smile and said, "Do you know who just passed by?"
The young eunuch was a bully who only feared the strong and the weak. He looked at the expressions of the soldiers and retreated again and again, covering his buttocks and asked, "What do you want to do?"
He had no one to rely on when he first entered the palace, so to be able to become Eunuch Li's godson in such a short time, he naturally paid some price.
When the young eunuch saw the soldier in front of him, he seemed to recall that experience again and felt a chill.
"I'm asking you a question. Do you know who just passed by?" The soldier guarding the gate slapped the young eunuch in the face and asked loudly.
The young eunuch never thought that such a gatekeeper dog would dare to slap him. He covered his mouth and jumped up and down, saying, "You still want to rebel? I will go back and complain to Lord Li."
"Haha, go back? I tell you, just because you stopped the Grand Tutor's carriage just now, you deserve to die." After saying that, he kicked the young eunuch in the crotch, causing him excruciating pain.
"What's wrong?" At this moment, a cold-blooded man dressed in green with a scimitar on his waist appeared behind them, looked at the person in front of him and asked in panic.
The soldiers guarding the city could be rude to the young eunuch, but they dared not be careless with the Qingyi Guards. They lowered their heads and reported: "This man was rude to the Grand Tutor. We are teaching him a lesson."
"Trouble." After saying that, he took out a scimitar from his waist and killed the young eunuch with one stroke. He shook off the blood on the knife and left without even looking back.
The young eunuch never thought that someone would dare to kill someone in the palace. He stared in the direction of the Green Guards and slowly fell to the ground.
The soldier at the gate looked at the young eunuch with his eyes wide open, shaking his head and sighing, "You are so unlucky that you were encountered by the Green Guards."
Everyone knows that the Qingyi Guards are the most loyal to Liu Hu and act arrogantly. If they hear you humiliating Liu Hu, there will be no good end for you.
"Boss, it would be great if I could join the Blue Guards. They would start fighting as soon as they were told, without any delay." A man nearby looked at the Blue Guards' neat and efficient skills, feeling full of envy.
The captain guarding the gate naturally envied the Blue Guards and muttered, "It's not that easy to get into the Blue Guards. Their martial arts, loyalty, and abilities are all top-notch. Even Lord Luo Fanchen may not be impressed. It's not too much to pick one out of a million. You'd better just stay here and guard the gate."
The people around him also knew that the Blue Guards were out of reach, so they shrank their heads and said, "That's right, I'm already content just to watch the gate here."
The entire palace is basically full of Liu Hu's spies. Although guarding the gate here is not a high position, there is still a lot of money to be made. They earn more here than anywhere else.
Seeing that the carriage had disappeared, the soldier guarding the gate quickly shouted to the Qingyi Guards: "Sir, the Grand Master went in that direction."
The green-clothed guard nodded indifferently, and disappeared in a few flashes. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with the carriage. Looking at Luo Fanchen who was calm and composed, the green-clothed guard carefully came in front of Luo Fanchen and whispered.
"Brother Luo, there are two thousand Xiao Leng's assassins outside, what do you think?"
Luo Fanchen didn't even raise his eyes and said unhappily, "You want me to go out and see them?"
"I dare not." Hearing Luo Fanchen's tone, the blue-clothed guard lowered his voice even more.
Luo Fanchen tilted his head and said, "Kill."
The blue-clothed guard received Luo Fanchen's order and did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly slipped away.
Liu Hu heard their conversation in the carriage and shook his head. He originally wanted to train the Qingyi Guards into an intelligence organization, but forced Luo Fanchen to train a killer organization.
As expected, like general, like soldiers are chosen.
All of Asi's subordinates are honest and strong, while Zheng Peng's subordinates are resourceful and good at fighting. When it comes to Luo Fanchen, his subordinates are all powerful and arrogant.
Precisely because of this character, the Qingyi Guards always come to the fore and are therefore the most famous.
Almost all the people in the palace were Liu Hu's men. When they saw Liu Hu, they would kneel on the ground and greet him without anyone telling them to do anything.
The palace was brightly lit late at night because of Liu Hu's arrival. Xiao Han was sitting on the dragon chair at this time, looking at the sand table in front of him, wondering how to take back power next.
"Although Liu Hu is dead, his power is still there. I heard that Zheng Peng's 300,000 troops are gathering in Shangjing." Xiao Han looked at Zheng Peng's position on the sand table, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Xiao Tian said without thinking: "Since Thirteenth Brother was able to kill Liu Hu, did he tell me what to do next?"
"Hmph, he doesn't have such kind intentions. He just wants to make me a target. How can I do as he wishes?" Xiao Han thought with a cold face.
Xiao Tian didn't understand the meaning, he only knew that his thirteenth brother did a great thing by killing the powerful Grand Tutor. From now on, the Xiao family will be able to rule the world again.
"Once Liu Hu dies, his men will seek revenge on me. If they fail, Thirteenth Brother will raise an army in the name of revenge for me. If he succeeds, he will force the emperor to abdicate and become the second Liu Hu." Xiao Han smiled bitterly.
The thirteenth brother was the most competitive in the fight for the throne. If he had not been favored by his father, how could he have ascended the throne?
Over the years, the Thirteenth Brother has been keeping a low profile. No matter where he is, he always claims to be considering the Xiao family and is determined to restore the Xiao family. But in fact, he is using hatred to secretly develop his power.
Now, with the death of Liu Hu, Liu Hu's power has fallen apart, and Thirteenth Brother's power has become the largest force in Daqian.
He has to be guarded against.
Zhou Paopi left and Nan Batian came. Both of them are not good people. If he has to choose, Xiao Han still hopes that Liu Hu will be there. After all, Liu Hu's surname is Liu, and he will never win the hearts of the people in his life.
But his Thirteenth Brother was born of the same mother as him, so it was reasonable for him to take over the throne.
"The Thirteenth Prince ordered me to come and report that Liu Hu is not dead and is now approaching the city with an army of 300,000."
"Report, Liu Hu led 5,000 elite troops into the inner city."
Xiao Han moved and said hurriedly: "Go and call my two thousand warriors over to resist Liu Hu!"
Liu Hu came at him aggressively. Xiao Han was at a loss for a good solution. He complained in his heart, "What is wrong with you, Thirteenth Brother? Liu Hu is obviously not dead, why did he tell me false information?"
Could it be that he wanted to use me to fight with Liu Hu?
He should know his own strength, how could he defeat Liu Hu in a fierce fight? Xiao Han was also confused at this time and didn't know what was going on.
