Chapter 44: Betting on Zhao Gao
Outside Songhai City, in the jungle, Shengqi was surrounded by six sword slaves.
Yan Hong used the power of the phoenix marrow to follow all the way, not daring to be careless, the eight people here are all first-class masters in the world, and if they are not careful, they can only suffer from themselves.
"You must be wondering, with your skills, you don't even feel when they appeared next to you!"
The ethereal voice was completely nowhere to be found, and Sheng Qi seemed to have no movement, but Yan Hong could keenly perceive that the muscles of his whole body were ready for battle the moment Zhao Gao's voice appeared.
However, on the other hand, in the face of the six bloodthirsty monsters in front of him, even Juque was not sure of victory.
"Their breaths are fused together, and when you feel one of them, in fact, you are already trapped in the net of six people."
In the dark forest, cold words echoed in the shade of the trees, and the clouds and mist in the forest seemed to change and wander with these cold words.
Katsuchi's always cold eyes seemed to be no match for these seemingly calm words, and there was an imperceptible wavering in his originally firm eyes, which only he knew.
"What people! Come out for me. With a low roar, Sumeru Katsuchi felt a thrill all over his body.
Cold fingers gently tapped on his shoulder, seemingly a 'gentle' move, but Katsuchi felt a cold air rising from his spine, straight to the top of his head, for the first time in his life, he felt a trace of fear, if it was not a slap just now, but penetrated his body, then at this moment he had become a corpse!
"It's you!" With a dark red robe, slender nails, and a pale face, Sheng Qi didn't expect Zhao Gao to come in person.
"Isn't it a small building with a herald?"
"Except for very important orders!" Zhao Gao continued.
"The order I received was to kill, no matter what it was!" Katsuchi scoffed at this.
"That's why I'm going to give you orders myself!"
"What is the reason?" Shengqi was obviously a little puzzled by Zhao Gao's words.
"You must remember that of all the commands, I have given you the most important one."
"There will be different orders in the net?" Katsuchi continued to ask.
"Maybe." Zhao Gao seemed a little undeniable this time.
"You are so excited, just for this sentence?"
This is Sheng Qi's question, and it is also Yan Hong's question, with Zhao Gao's current status to find a swordsman, just for this sentence, it is inevitable that he is a little too excited.
Hidden in the shadows, Yan Hong's thoughts are still spinning, Sheng Qi is subordinate to Luo Wang, and now Luo Wang is under the jurisdiction of Li Si, Zhao Gao does this...... Could it be that he also had a crooked mind?
It seems that there are too many people in this seemingly prosperous empire who are not willing to be lonely.
Next, Zhao Gao's answer was also simple, and he glanced at Shengqi out of the corner of his eyes and said lightly, "This is a very important sentence." β
"What if I don't accept it!" At this moment, Katsuchi seemed to be trying to suppress his anger, he hated the feeling of being accused, he hated it very much.
"You can make conditions, but you can't not accept them." Zhao Gao seemed to take a step back.
"I have only one condition!" Sheng Qi seemed to be on the verge of exploding, and Zhao Gao knew what he wanted from beginning to end, and such a question was no less than teasing him.
"Find your only brother?" It seems to be a casual question, but it is a subtle banter.
"Not bad."
The pale fingers were slightly pinched, and the corners of the slightly blood-colored mouth were slightly raised, and everything was under control, "If you don't accept it, then he may disappear forever!" β
ββSonorousββ
In a word, it was like a fuse, which completely ignited Katsuchi's anger!
However, at the moment when Juque was launched, a net locked the black swordsman faster!
Six sword slaves, six famous swords, six swordsmen with different personalities, but at this moment, they cooperate seamlessly, an unbreakable net, and the unstoppable black swordsman instantly turned into a prisoner.
Resistance became whimsical at this moment, and it seemed that even the slightest struggle had become a luxury. Tough as the black swordsman, in the end he could only say, "You still need me, you won't kill me." Is that a kind of irony?
"No matter how good a weapon is, if it is not easy to use, it will have to be destroyed, even if it is the eleventh-ranked Juque!" Zhao Gao's words seemed to be an understatement, but they smashed into Shengqi's heart like a hammer.
In the end, helplessness and compromise prevailed, and Juque died after all, but Juque's owner didn't want to die yet.
"Smack, smack, smack!"
There was a crisp applause, and a slender figure descended lightly from the canopy.
"Lord Zhao's good means, the six sword slaves defeated the black swordsman, it is really an eye-opener for this seat!"
"You ......"
Turning his head sideways, Zhao Gao looked at the person who suddenly appeared, his hands that were originally relaxed were clenched into fists at this moment, and the six swords returned to the hands of the sword slave.
On the contrary, it was the black swordsman who had been controlled by people before, a mocking smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and he left calmly.
"This kind of moment, you, choose to leave." Zhao Gao said slowly, his voice became extremely low, obviously this was said to Sheng Qi.
"It's your business, it's none of my business." Although Shengqi has developed limbs, his mind is not simple, on the contrary, everyone who can survive in this troubled world is quite smart.
"The Night Emperor...... Hmph, come to Zhao Gao at this time, I don't know what to say? β
The net moved again, and gradually Yan Hong, who was originally out of the way, was surrounded in the middle.
Squinted at the six people who were approaching, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, "This, is Lord Zhao's hospitality?" This seat is not a giant. β
"Oh? It seems that the Night Emperor is very confident in himself. Zhao Gao slowly turned around and faced Yan Hong, his gloomy eyes kept scanning this Yan Hong, and he was quickly looking for a flaw.
"If Lord Zhao doesn't believe it, you can give it a try!" The left foot is back, the right foot is slightly forward, the left hand is fluffed, and the right hand is clenched into a fist behind him, but the corners of his mouth always maintain a confident smile.
"Hehe, the visitor is a guest, Zhao Gao still knows these etiquettes, but I don't know what happened to the distinguished guests today?" Zhao Gao's left hand was behind him and waved slightly, and the hand of the six sword slaves quietly let go of the hilt.
From there, negotiations can begin.
"Since Lord Zhao is so hospitable, then this seat is also blunt, I don't know how the eighteenth prince is doing recently?"
"What does Mr. Ji mean by this?" Zhao Gao was still playing the ball at this time.
"Since Lord Zhao is unwilling to speak directly, then this seat will ask another way, I don't know if Lord Zhao is willing to follow the eighteenth prince for the rest of his life, or is he willing to taste it in person, and see the taste of the mountains."
Quiet! Dead silence, overwhelming?
What is the top, in this era, the imperial power is supreme, and the top is the supreme, but a simple sentence depicts another broad road to Zhao Gao.
In fact, Zhao Gao in history also did this, although he was not crowned, but the real controller of the Qin Dynasty was Zhao Gao!
"Mr. Ji doesn't seek benefits for the Yin and Yang family, but plans for me Zhao Gao, what is the intention?"
"Lord Zhao is wrong, when the time comes, Lord Zhao will be in power, just treat me well to the Yin and Yang sect, and let the contemptible incense continue, this is the best reward."
"Oh? What Mr. Ji wants is so simple? Zhao Gao took a half step forward, and there was some disbelief in his tone.
"Lord Zhao, are you still unwilling to treat each other with sincerity at this moment? The empire may also have a grudge against the contemptible faction. β
"Huh?" Zhao Gao didn't realize it, but he shook his head in surprise, and said curiously, "There is such a thing?" I'm sorry I haven't heard. In his heart, he thought about Yan Hong's words.
Mustard? What is Mustard? It can be said to be suspicious, it can be said to be defensive, but if you think about it deeply, it is incomprehensible that he already knows that His Majesty the Emperor will attack the Yin and Yang family soon?
As soon as this thought was born, it continued to spread in Zhao Gao's heart, and he suddenly raised his head, but his gloomy eyes were full of sharpness at this time, as if he wanted to see through Yan Hong's whole person.
See through his disguise and see through his inner thoughts!
But this time, Zhao Gao was disappointed, what he saw was still that calm smiling face, calm eyes like a lake, without a trace of ripples, a calm smile like a mountain without a trace of flaws, and finally Zhao Gao's eyes were sharp and convergent, his right hand was gently clenched into a fist, and it was released again.
In an instant, the net compiled by the Six Sword Slaves seemed to be slowly dispersing.
"Please also ask Mr. Ji to solve Zhao Gao's doubts!" The left hand made a gesture of please, and the two walked into each other only one foot apart, whether to fight or to make peace, all decided within this foot.
"Since Lord Zhao is willing to be honest with each other, then this seat will no longer hide his secrets, and Lord Zhao will come with his ears."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
There was a whisper, and a rare smile gradually rose on Zhao Gao's face, and after a while, Zhao Gao came back to his senses.
He hugged his fist towards Yan Hong, "Thank you!" β
Yan Hong smiled calmly, and then shook his head, "A little bit of a small courtesy, and I hope that Lord Zhao will take a look at the contemptible faction when he arrives." β
"Mr. Ji rest assured, Zhao Gao should do his best when the time comes."
"So, I take my leave."
"Please!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"My lord, just let him go." Zhen Gang stepped forward and asked, the Night Emperor's combat power was really a threat to him.
"Stealing the sky and changing the day, referring to the deer as a horse, is indeed a generous gift."
The two hands were gently pinched behind his back, but the light in his eyes became more and more restrained, and the ambiguous sentence only left a weird smile on the six sword slaves.
