Chapter 71 He is used to stabbing people in the middle of the night
Ying Chengjiao placed his fingers on the side of Qingmei's face, and his internal energy continuously flowed from his dantian to the five fingers of his right hand.
"This thing is very expensive!"
Swish~
Amid Qingmei's sweet cries, Ying Chengjiao tore off a piece of transparent dough as thin as a cicada's wing from Qingmei's face.
The next moment, the face of a stunningly beautiful woman, showing both joy and anger, was exposed to Ying Chengjiao's sight.
Her cheeks were as red as the peach blossoms in March, and her lips were dotted with cherry red. Her willow-leaf eyes were bright and charming, and her blinks were naturally charming.
Coupled with the mature woman's charm between her eyebrows, she is like a bunch of charming yet deadly poppies.
Some beauties are so beautiful that they are like dreams, and people just want to watch them.
Some beauties have such seductive looks and seductive behavior that people just want to play with them.
The beauty of green plums makes people want to play with them when they see them.
If we talk about the green plums without peeling their skin, their beauty is top-notch in appearance.
But when she takes off her skin, she is the most beautiful among all the girls. Even if the three most beautiful girls in front of the balcony take off their clothes and dance together, they cannot be as alluring as her fluttering eyelashes.
"Sir, don't do that~"
"Don't you want to stop?"
The poppy branches swayed, and a quilt billowed up, covering the two of them.
The sunlight outside the window shines on the quilt.
Above it is the white sun in the sky, and below it are two people in the white sun.
A poor person can appreciate its fair skin and beautiful appearance; a rich person can appreciate its scallops spitting water.
…
Xianyang Palace.
In the spring lake, thousands of carp compete for food.
The fat koi fish shook their bodies happily and vied for favor in front of the First Emperor, hoping that the First Emperor, who was like a god in their eyes, would grant them more food.
The weather is fine, with no wind or rain.
The surface of the lake was filled with a continuous tinkling sound, like thousands of raindrops rushing into the lake, and carp jumping into the distant waves.
"Gai Nie, why do you wear white all year round? Do you prefer this color?" Ying Zheng asked casually.
The Qin State valued black. Black was the main color in both buildings and clothing. White was extremely rare in the Qin State.
Gai Nie took two steps forward and stood side by side with the First Emperor. This was a habit that Ying Chengjiao had instilled in him.
Before, when Gai Nie was Ying Chengjiao's retainer, whenever the two of them talked, they were either face to face or shoulder to shoulder.
Gai Nie forgot that Ying Zheng is not Ying Chengjiao.
To stand shoulder to shoulder with the First Emperor is an act of usurpation.
Suddenly, the First Emperor saw several figures out of the corner of his eye. His brows suddenly furrowed. Clouds gathered in the sky, and it seemed that it was going to rain.
"Nie has no preference for white. This was originally requested by Lord Chang'an. When I was Lord Chang'an's retainer, he asked me to wear only white long gowns. As time went by, even though Nie entered the palace, he got used to wearing white gowns."
The warm sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on Chunshui Lake, but the three rays of light were hidden by the water vapor.
The storm has not yet arrived.
"Cheng Jiao does have some unique hobbies." Ying Zheng deeply agreed.
Thinking of Ying Chengjiao's strange behavior, Ying Zheng smiled and said softly, "The Dark Guard was originally formed by Duke Xiaoxian as an army to protect Lord Shang. After Lord Shang died, King Huiwen ordered the Dark Guard to protect him. From then on, the Dark Guard became the exclusive domain of successive kings, and it has been a hundred years since then."
"When Cheng Jiao was eight years old and just learned about the existence of the Dark Guard, he wanted to change the name of the Dark Guard to Black Ice Guard. I don't know where he got these three words from. Later, when he met Zhang Han, he clamored to form a Shadow Secret Guard for Zhang Han. The duties are basically the same as those of the Dark Guard. What do you think I need so many guards for?"
"Like a maggot clinging to a bone, like a shadow following a body, like the Lord himself is here. The Shadow Secret Guard that Lord Chang'an mentioned is something I have always longed for."
The voice arrives before the person arrives.
A man, wearing tight black light armor with a terrifying bone-eroded skull on it.
His strong face showed that he was decisive, his loyal eyes told of his high obedience, and his lean body revealed his extraordinary agility.
When the visitor saw Gai Nie and Ying Zheng standing side by side, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
But seeing that Ying Zheng didn't say anything, he didn't say much.
He bowed to the First Emperor, his hands clasped, and his armor clanged, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Get up. If you become the leader of the Shadow Guard, who will guard the Xianyang Palace for me?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"With Your Majesty in Xianyang Palace, no villain dares to come here. It will be the same whether we are on patrol or not. Do you agree with me, Mr. Gai?"
If you want to be a bootlicker, just do it on your own like Zhao Gao, why do you have to drag me into this?
Gai Nie said expressionlessly, "Yes."
Gai Nie doesn't like to curry favor with the powerful, so it would be extremely difficult for him to say these words.
But if he echoed it, Gai Nie could still do it.
Seeing that Gai Nie just agreed and did nothing else, Zhang Han's displeasure became more obvious.
I asked you this question so that you would realize the disparity in status between you and His Majesty. You didn't understand, did you?
"Mr. Gai, could you please move over and stand with Zhang Han?" Zhang Han couldn't help but ask.
Not over yet?
It’s not enough to just agree with you, do I have to stand with you and act like a bootlicker?
"Yes." Gai Nie replied.
He walked up to Zhang Han, still unaware that he was overstepping his authority.
The First Emperor saw everything the two men did. He was observing without interrupting their negotiations.
Everything about Zhao Gao is decided by me. Without my order, Zhao Gao will not do anything extra. This is most in line with my wishes.
Gai Nie was proud of his sword and once followed Cheng Jiao, from whom he acquired a bohemian habit.
Fortunately, he has a sense of justice in his heart. Although he is extremely subjective and may cause me some discomfort, he is far inferior to Zhao Gao, but when I am upset, he may do something to comfort me, which is something Zhao Gao does not have.
Zhang Han was upset when he saw that my dignity had been damaged, and he was even angrier than when he himself had been humiliated.
His mind and nature are in Zhao's place, probably between the two of them.
Zhao Gao not only has the ability to obey orders, but also has the ability to make independent decisions.
This person is an excellent candidate for the position of Langzhongling, and it is worth Cheng Jiao's strong recommendation.
After weighing the three of them in his heart, Ying Zheng said to Zhang Han, who was wearing light armor, "You personally dispatch a team of eunuchs to the tower and obey Cheng Jiao's orders. Cheng Jiao's words are my orders. If he kills someone, remember to strike first and don't leave any room for others to talk about it."
"Ah?" Zhang Han was stunned.
Your Majesty, are you serious?
Langguan is the palace guard, also known as the Imperial Guard.
It was an army under the First Emperor, dedicated to guarding the city of Xianyang.
The palace attendant never obeyed orders from others and never left the Xianyang Palace.
Today, Ying Zheng actually asked him, the Imperial Physician Commander, to take the imperial officials out to the romantic place of Loutai to obey Ying Chengjiao's orders and help Ying Chengjiao kill people!
"Any objections ?"
"Zhang Han doesn't dare."
"Let's go now."
"only!"
Why do you need help, sir?
Gai Nie looked at Zhang Han who was coming and going in a hurry, and said with a blank expression, "Chang'an Jun should not need your Majesty's help."
Ying Zheng rubbed his brows and said to Gai Nie, who was standing below and took the initiative to talk to him, "I sent Zhang Han not to help Cheng Jiao kill people, but to make Cheng Jiao kill fewer people."
"If your majesty had not sent Zhang Han, Chang'an Jun would not have killed anyone."
"Maybe." Ying Zheng said without comment.
Thinking about the purge that affected dozens of officials, Ying Zheng sneered at Gai Nie's naivety.
Cheng Jiao would never kill on the tower. He was used to sending his secret guards to kill people in the middle of the night.
Rather than letting him act secretly, it is better to kill a few of them openly to let him vent his anger.
