I don't know if it was because of the effect of Commander Zhang's pursuit, or because of the wanted warrant of the bounty, the assassination of Wan Ruize and others no longer appeared, and the security of the patrol guard of honor reached Rongcheng.

Because of the koi, His Majesty was overjoyed to exempt the two counties from paying taxes for one year. This is great news for the people of these two counties.

Early in the morning, the county guard of Rongcheng and the people spontaneously waited on the road into the county, until noon, they finally looked forward to the long line of honor guards.

The county guards shouted in unison, and the people fell to their knees in an uproar, shouting in their mouths: "Long live Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng got off the royal car with the support of Meng Yi, Zhao Gao immediately greeted him, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty is here!" Saying that, he waved his hand, and the county guard very consciously took a small fish tank with a noble atmosphere from the hand of a person next to him, and presented it respectfully, saying: "This is the koi fish turned into a dragon, please take a look at Your Majesty." ”

Meng Yi took the fish tank and handed it to Ying Zheng.

I saw that there are four golden koi fish inside, the head is like a dragon's head, there are four long and mighty fish whiskers, the tail fin is elegant like a phoenix tail, transparent and shiny, when swimming, it is like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing in the sky, domineering but without losing aura, it is the best at a glance.

A not-so-obvious surprise appeared on Ying Zheng's face, Zhao Gao looked at his expression, and said in time: "Your Majesty, according to the county guard, this is the king of koi, the dragon and phoenix golden carp. Zhao Gao has learned from people who know fish that although the dragon and phoenix golden carp are noble and rare, they have a gentle personality, and they are very easy to raise, and their life span can reach hundreds of years. Your Majesty, look at their fish bellies. ”

Since it has something to do with the dragon and phoenix, except for Yingzheng, no one here dares to touch these four koi.

Ying Zheng rolled up his sleeves and pulled out in the small fish tank, and a fat golden koi jumped and flicked its tail in his hand.

With a flick of its tail, its belly was exposed. Ying Zheng suddenly saw that there was a faint red word "Ji" there, hidden under the golden scales, as if gilded with golden light, transparent and crystalline, extremely magical.

Ying Zheng picked up another dragon and phoenix koi, and under the golden scales of the fish's belly, it was the word "emperor".

"Reward!"

"Your Majesty!" After Zhao Gao finished saluting, he naturally stood behind Ying Zheng, walked side by side with Gu Yue, and went to the palace prepared by the county guard to stay and rest.

"Lord Zhao has worked hard. "Gu Yue is not salty or light.

"It's not as hard as Mr., thanks to Mr.'s kind words in front of His Majesty, he gave Zhao Gao the opportunity to be rewarded. Zhao Gao hid a knife in his smile.

"Why do you need to be kind and beautiful, Lord Zhao Gao's actions, is it still not clear to His Majesty?" Gu Yue smiled innocently.

The two of them had something to say, hiding needles in the cotton, and Meng Yi, who listened to it directly, was dripping with cold sweat, and he was terrified all the way.

After having lunch in the palace prepared by the county guard, Yingzheng planned to go to the Rongcheng Dynasty Dance Temple to watch the sea worship day and thank Xiangrui.

Gu Yue used his physical discomfort as an excuse to stay in the mansion. Ying Zheng thought that after he was seriously injured, he really hadn't rested well, so he didn't force him, and left with Meng Yi and others.

After they left, a figure flashed in front of the door of the house where Gu Yue was temporarily staying. The young man chased out the door and found that the door of Yingzheng's palace next door was wide open, looked around, hesitated slightly, and walked in.

The palace room was arranged simply and luxuriously, Gu Yue entered the room and found that the four dragon and phoenix koi were jumping and churning in the small fish tank.

He first checked it, and found that there was no one, so he went straight to the small fish tank, squatted down, picked up one of the koi, and checked the words on its belly.

The fingertips of the fingers lightly pressed on the seemingly transparent word, and the koi fish flicked its tail desperately as if it was in pain.

Gu Yue wiped off the water droplets that it threw on his face, frowned, and felt that the scales under his fingertips were a little strange. Reach out your other hand and clamp the fish, and your fingertips swim over the belly of the fish. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he picked up a piece of scale and pulled it gently, but he ripped off a large piece.

Then, Gu Yue's pupils shrank sharply, and then he understood how the words on the fish's belly came out.

It was a red line, and someone used the perfect knife technique to carve a template font on its abdomen without killing the koi, and then embedded the red line into it, and according to the carved knife marks, the required character was formed, and finally the scales were glued back again.

In this way, from the outside, it looks like a text spontaneously derived from the inside of a koi. No wonder Qin Shi Huang can be fooled, without careful inspection, no one can see the mystery of this.

"In order to curry favor with Yingzheng, you made up auspicious rui at will, but the koi of the entire Rongcheng County suffered. A gloomy voice appeared behind Gu Yue.

There is no need to look back, Gu Yue also knows who it is, and deliberately brought him here, except for Wan Ruize, there will be no second person.

"If you sacrifice the koi of a county, it is worth it to get rid of the scourge of Zhao Gao. Gu Yue stood up, with a hint of murder in his eyes, "I just don't know if I can even get rid of this scourge of you?"

"Don't do it as soon as you meet!" Wan Ruize smiled and pulled out his sword to cut Gu Yue's golden thread, "If you hurt these four auspicious koi, you will be able to carry this pot!"

Gu Yue looked straight at the long sword in his hand that was full of purple qi mixed with a trace of blue-black evil qi, and said coldly: "Victory Evil Sword?"

Wan Ruize stroked the blade of the knife noncommittally, flicked his fingertips, tilted his head and looked at Gu Yue, the smile on his face was full of evil intentions.

"Victory over evil is a remnant sword, why is your sword complete?"

"Ou Yezi didn't dare to cast it again halfway through, because he was afraid that it would bring disaster to the world. But didn't you say that I came to do evil, so why should I use the broken sword?"

Gu Yue sneered: "Now you are not on the side of justice, what about those righteous rangers of yours? Could it be that they were scared away by those fluttering wanted notices?"

"Cannon fodder also has to choose some backbone, isn't it, like these who sway at every turn and have no position, except for using them to sacrifice swords, what is the use?"

"You killed them all?" Gu Yue looked at him like a madman.

"Otherwise, how do you think the Victory Sword was forged?" Wan Ruize seemed to feel that what he was doing was normal, and his delicate face was full of innocence. Then he looked at Gu Yue and changed his words, "However, you gave me such a big gift, if I don't exchange politeness, I will be looked down upon." ”

Gu Yue looked at him coldly, Ying Zheng had Meng Yi by his side, and he was already able to condense the light knife, so there should be no danger.

"Do you think that as long as Meng Yi can condense the light knife, it will be safe?" As if knowing what Gu Yue was thinking, Wan Ruize said very maliciously, "Without your blood, he still can't see the red eyes!"

Gu Yue's face changed, Wan Ruize slowly stroked the long sword in his hand, and continued: "The Victory Evil Sword is really a superb artifact that breeds trouble, and I don't know if those guys who have just produced red-eyed eyes recognize the road to Shangjun?"

Gu Yue suddenly raised his head and stared at Wan Ruize. The latter had a happy evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and in front of him, he split the fish tank with a sword, and his eyes were provocative: "I just don't know if your head is as valuable as me!"

Gu Yue clenched his hands into fists, looked at the four koi jumping on the ground, and then looked at Wan Ruize, and finally ran out of the door with gritted teeth, led a horse, and galloped towards Shangjun without saying a word.

……

After Ying Zheng returned from the day of the Chaowu Ancestral Hall, he saw the entourage who stayed in the palace kneeling on the ground in horror, as if they were going to shake off their heads.

"What happened?" Qin Shi Huang was in a good mood, but when he saw the gloom on the faces of these entourage, he immediately showed displeasure.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, sir, sir, killed those four brocades and koi. One of the guards trembled like chaff, stammering and finally getting a sentence out of his mind.

"What did you say, Mr. killed the koi?" Zhao Gao raised his voice and repeated in disbelief.

"It's true, after the gentleman killed the koi, he grabbed a horse and fled. ”

"Impossible!" Meng Yi looked at the guard on the ground with some anger.

"General, give your subordinates a hundred guts, and your subordinates don't dare to joke with koi. The four koi fish are still in His Majesty's palace, and if His Majesty doesn't believe it, he can go and check it out for himself. ”

Ying Zheng kicked him away and walked into the palace angrily, followed by Meng Yi and Zhao Gao.

The four dragon and phoenix koi were scattered on the ground, and there were many wounds on their bodies that were very cruel. The killers were so vicious that they didn't make up for the last slash, so much so that they struggled on the ground for a long time, leaving blood and slime all over the ground.

Ying Zheng was furious, and his voice was dull, like thunder: "Did you see with your own eyes that it was Gan Luo's hand?"

"I didn't see it with my own eyes. ”

"Since you didn't see it with your own eyes, then why did you say that Mr. killed him?" Meng Yi also had a gloomy face, most of the guards were in charge of him, and his guards pointed out that Mr. Zheng killed the koi, which made him feel like he couldn't use his strength.

The general listened to his subordinates first. The guard fell to his knees and finally stopped trembling, "After His Majesty left, the gentleman suddenly burst out of his own room, looked around, and then cautiously entered His Majesty's palace.

Not long after, the gentleman came out of it with an ugly look, turned on his horse and left the place. The villain saw that Mr. had a different expression, and there was a strange sound from His Majesty's palace before, so he dared to look inside, but he didn't expect it...... I didn't expect these four koi to be ......"

"Bastard!" Ying Zheng turned around angrily, as if looking for something to fall on.

"Your Majesty is angry, there must be some misunderstanding in this, sir, he can't do such a thing. Meng Yi said.

"Shut up!" Ying Zheng glanced at him coldly.

Zhao Gao suddenly exclaimed: "Your Majesty, look, this bloodstain ...... Like a word?"

Ying Zheng set his eyes on it. Although the bloodstains looked crooked, after being reminded and looked at carefully, they did constitute a single word.

Meng Yi's face turned pale in an instant.

That's a "Gan" word.
