Chapter 324: Tranquility
The moonlight was high, and there was only a little fire in the gloomy room, Zhao Gao listened to the report of his subordinates, and drank the wine in the wine glass in his hand, as if he was a little regretful.
A few days ago, there was a storm on the rivers and lakes, and the war between the Mo family and the peasant family was about to break out, and even the Yin and Yang family seemed to be involved.
This turmoil seems to have occurred in the rivers and lakes, but at the deep level it is the dispute between the two feudal monarchs of Great Qin, Hanyang Jun and Changping Jun.
After Chang Yu's death, it was difficult for the original Xiangbang LΓΌ Buwei to stand at the top of his power as before. Falling from the apex does not only represent one person's mourning, but the change in the internal situation of the entire Qin State.
Changping Jun is the prince of Chu, and Zhao Shuang is a Qin person, and they can unite to deal with the great enemy together. But when this enemy is no longer as dominant as before, then their cooperation will be divided due to the spread of the poison of power, and even finally fall apart.
Whether it is on the rivers and lakes or in the court, the development of all this is conducive to the net. But not long ago, a banquet in Huayang Palace made this turmoil that could have caused turbulent waves disappear invisibly.
It's as if nothing happened.
"That's it!"
Zhao Gao sighed lightly, the situation was not something he could control now.
The biggest problem facing Zhao Gao was that he had not yet been able to gain the trust of King Qin.
The net is a sharp weapon, but this sharp weapon has not yet been used by King Qin, which is the biggest problem. To solve this problem, it is necessary to get rid of LΓΌ Buwei.
But just relying on Zhao Gao and the people in the net under him, this cannot be done. But fortunately, many people in this Qin state also wanted to get rid of LΓΌ Buwei.
Zhao Gao is not alone.
A dark shadow slowly approached, and a smile appeared on Zhao Gao's face, and he poured himself a glass of scarlet wine syrup.
"You're here!"
"What did you call me for?"
"Take charge of the sun!"
Zhao Gao didn't drag his words at all, and directly expressed his meaning.
"In this situation, this sword is not so easy to take."
The figure in the darkness sighed, as if hesitating.
"The head of the Eight Swords of King Yue has never been so easy to do. However, as an Assassin, you should understand that the most dangerous times are often the most rewarding. β
"Indeed!"
The figure in the darkness smiled slightly, saw Zhao Gao raise his glass, threw it lightly, and was caught by him.
The wine rippled slightly in the glass, but the man did not drink it.
"Over the years, I've been looking for the Taoist secret 'Lingzhang Sword Technique', but I still haven't found anything-"
Zhao Gao smiled and held a wine glass in his hand.
"Of course you can't find it. In the past, the five kingdoms attacked Qin, outside Xianyang City, Zhao Shuang, the general of Zhao State, rose eight formations after the wind and defeated the Qin army. After that, Zhao Shuang died in Longmendu, but the person who killed him was the startled salamander who now defected to the net. Don't you think it's interesting? β
"You mean Zhao Shuang is not dead?" The figure in the darkness seemed to be puzzled, "So where is he now?" β
"The best way to hide is to be exposed to the public, so that everyone knows that he exists, without realizing that they are actually the same person."
The figure in the darkness was slightly stunned, but quickly sensed the smell.
"Zhao Shuang? Zhao Shuang! β
Zhao Gao smiled and raised the cup in his hand forward.
"So, would you like to drink this wine?"
The figure in the darkness slowly raised the glass and drank it down.
"What do you want to do?"
"Zhao Shuang's biggest weakness lies in his identity, in addition to catching the traitor of the startling salamander, he can only do things on the Mo family's side. But at this moment, our strength alone is no match for him. But you can do some preparation. β
"The Mo family's organ city has always been mysterious, and no one knows its exact location. Even if it is the rest of the hundred schools, it is not easy to get in touch with the core secrets of the Mo family. β
"It doesn't matter, our days are still long, and it will inevitably take a long time to deal with Zhao Shuang, so we can't be in a hurry at this moment. What's more, the biggest enemy of Luo Wang now is still Lu Buwei. β
Zhao Gao smiled, as if he had a lot of patience. Throwing the sun-occultating sword to the figure in the darkness, Zhao Gao must be sure in his heart that the most important thing at this moment is the power to collect the net.
.............................
At the time of the autumn harvest, the land outside the house still looked barren.
In the house behind her, there was a lot of grain piled up, and the woman was wearing an ordinary linen skirt, but she could not hide her beautiful face, and she was sitting on the verandah, watching her pink and jade daughter play happily in the courtyard of her house, her face was full of smiles.
This moment of tranquility is the biggest reason why she has been hiding in the net for several years, struggling in the blood, but not giving up.
A giant man appeared outside the courtyard, carrying a few chickens in his hands.
"Uncle Dianqing!"
When the little girl saw the comer, she ran over with great joy. It's just that for this little girl, Dian Qing is a little respectful.
When the woman saw the ceremony, her face was a little complicated. But soon, when he saw the person who was following Dian Qing, the complexity turned into vigilance.
The little girl looked at the man curiously, as if she didn't understand why her Uncle Dianqing, who could smash a wall with one punch, treated this ordinary little white face so respectfully?
Dian Qing put the chicken in his hand in the chicken coop behind the house, and Zhao Shuang came forward.
"How is ma'am?"
"There's Lao Jun on it!"
The salamander stood up and saluted. Without the Startling Salamander Sword, she is more and more restrained, and her skills are a little deeper.
Zhao Shuang took out a bottle of pill from his arms and handed it to the startled salamander.
"Madame's injury is not a terminal illness after all, just take care of it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The startled salamander was actually a little uneasy in her heart, the more generous Zhao Shuang was to their mother and daughter, the more worried she became.
"Mother, who is this brother?"
Brother?
Zhao Shuang looked at the little girl who was pulling the corner of the salamander's skirt, and the other party's face was full of innocence.
"He is..."
For a while, the startled salamander didn't seem to know how to describe Zhao Shuang, but he heard Zhao Shuang say.
"I'm your mother's friend."
"Is that so?"
The little girl seemed to be a little unconvinced, because her mother did not treat the brother like a friend.
"Yan'er, you go play first!"
"Oh!"
The little girl took the windmill and was soon attracted by the movement of the chicken coop and played with Dianqing.
"Yan'er, what are you going to do?"
"What do you want?"
The salamander's face was wary.
"You should know that as Yan'er, it is impossible to let her live a carefree life here. In this stormy world, at least we must master the power of self-preservation. Otherwise, the current tranquility will be the biggest disaster for Yan'er in the future. β
Zhao Shuang's words made the startled salamander fall into deep thought.
