Chapter 72: Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots
In this way, a palace banquet ended unhappily.
Back at home, Lü Buwei dispersed the household servants, including his own family, and sat alone in his study to meditate.
What happened tonight was too sudden, and the fact that the assassins he had sent over had finally succeeded in making him rebellious.
Chang Yu was arrested, this is a signal, a signal that King Qin has grown up, and King Qin's ambition is also completely revealed to him tonight.
What made him feel the threat of death the most was this Ye Xiao who suddenly popped out, and he couldn't see this person clearly.
"Butler, come here."
Lu Buwei greeted the butler standing outside the door and said.
"Master, what's the matter?"
Pushing open the door, the butler walked in respectfully and asked.
"Contact the high-level officials of the net, and let them wait in the spider's hole, I want to go over." Lü Buwei ordered.
"No."
After answering, the housekeeper withdrew, and Lu Buwei picked up a piece of paper, but he didn't know what he was writing and who he was going to send it to.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was paper, but there was another name for the paper they were talking about, called silk.
After writing a few words, Lü Buwei summoned a carrier pigeon, tied it to its heel, and flew somewhere.
At this time, the butler walked in in in a panic and said in horror: "Master, something is wrong!" ”
"What's going on, so panicked?" Seeing that his henchman butler was so flustered, Lu Buwei asked.
However, there was a palpitation in his heart, a feeling that something bad had happened.
"Master, all the high-level officials betrayed you, and there were a few who were still loyal to you, but in the end their ears were cut off and placed in my hands along with their treachery."
The butler took out six bloody left ears and a letter, and said tremblingly.
"What!?"
Lu Buwei hurriedly snatched the letter in the butler's hand and tore open the fire paint, and after reading the content of the letter, a mouthful of uncontrollable blood poured out of his chest and throat.
Recalling the scenes at the banquet, Lu Buwei couldn't help but blacken his eyes and fell unconscious.
"Ah, sir, come on, come on! The old man fainted! The housekeeper hurriedly picked up the unconscious Lu Buwei and shouted to the outside.
……
Ye Xiao was still very satisfied with the speed of the Eight Swords of the Yue King, and even wiped out those high-level swords before the banquet began, and finally Ye Xiao used the Holy Light Flickering Method to let this group of people use it for himself.
That's why there was the scene just now.
"White wolf, your archery skills are good, you have time to teach me."
Ye Xiao nibbled on a roast pigeon in his mouth and praised the white wolf.
"Lord Xie praised, with the talent of adults, I believe that archery will be easy to master." The white wolf put away the longbow in his hand and said.
"Hahaha, it's so cool, you go back first."
Ye Xiao wiped the grease on his hands, and then said.
"Yes."
There was a puff of smoke, and the white wolf was nowhere to be seen.
After eating a whole pigeon, Ye Xiao smashed it and smacked his mouth for a while, and looked at the silk tied under the pigeon's feet before.
[The night goes quickly, except for Han Wang'an.] ]
After reading the information, Ye Xiao burned the silk, pulled Yang Yuhuan out of the dark realm in the house, and then summoned Shiranui and Bai Qingqiu.
Then, Ye Xiao began to spend this short night again.
Ah Li danced, Yuhuan played music, Qingqiu Zhen rubbed his shoulders, and Ye Xiao pillowed nine tails and enjoyed music and dance.
At this moment, the beautiful woman is the companion, the wine is in peace at night, the national teacher is beautiful, and the killer is popular in secret.
In this world without information networks, there are generally very few people who don't want to make babies, there are only a few categories, and Ye Xiao is not interested in this.
Day 2.
"The king, the queen mother gave birth to two sons for the Marquis of Changxin, and the ministers suggested that the evil should be eliminated and the grass should be cut down, and they have a bad reputation for the king."
Ye Xiao sat in a carriage with King Yingzheng of Qin and said.
It's just that Ying Zheng frowned tightly and didn't speak, as if he was hesitating and pondering.
"National teacher, that son will be killed! But after all, the Queen Mother is the widow's biological mother. ”
Seeing that Yingzheng was so indecisive, Ye Xiao still persuaded him: "Although the queen mother is the biological mother of the king, the news that the minister learned from Luo Wang is that the queen mother wants to get rid of the king so that the two sons of Changxin Hou can succeed to the throne, the king and the queen mother have affection, but the queen mother doesn't think so." ”
As soon as the throne was mentioned, and the Queen Mother wanted to usurp the throne, Yingzheng couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Marquis Changxin has already secretly formed a private army and plotted the throne with the Queen Mother, you have this mother in your eyes, but the Queen Mother does not have your son in the eyes of the king." Ye Xiao said, took out a roll of silk from his sleeve and handed it to Ying Zheng and said, "King, this is the list of high-level officials of the Net, please take a look." ”
"What does this mean, national teacher?"
Looking at the list, Ying Zheng wondered.
"The king, you need to know that you are the king, you are called a lonely widow, it seems that the queen mother is not beneficial to herself, should be cut off, or cut off, the people above can just be used, although Lu Xiangguo has a protégé, but his most powerful net is now in the hands of the king."
Ye Xiao pointed to the paper scroll in Yingzheng's hand and said.
"The national teacher should not mention it again, this kind of mother-killing thing can't be done alone!"
Ying Zheng's tone was resolute and decisive, and Ye Xiao had no choice but not to say it.
The two of them went to Zhao Ji's mansion, the formation was not big, but they were all masters looking around, and the Tao was a noble soldier, not much expensive.
The house knew that the things about himself and Chang Yu had been exposed, and hurriedly asked his henchmen to send his two children away.
"Zhao Si, my children are all entrusted to you, you can take all this money, take them to find a remote place, just be safe, I don't ask for too much."
Zhao Ji looked at the two infant children and said sadly.
"Rest assured, Changxinhou treats me Zhao Si well, and I, Zhao Si, am not a greedy person who is afraid of death, and I will take away the two sons absolutely safely."
In the face of Zhao Ji's entrustment, Zhao Si also replied red.
The plot route of Tuogu is often singable and crying in ancient times, think about the Zhao orphan.
"It's safe, you don't have to look at it alone."
Hearing only one sound, Ying Zheng kicked open the door, looked at Zhao Ji coldly and said.
"King!"
As soon as Zhao Ji saw Yingzheng appear, she directly stretched out her hand to block Zhao Si, and then said to Zhao Si: "Take them away." ”
"Heh, Queen Mother, why are you in such a hurry, Gu hasn't taken a good look at my two younger brothers who have never met." Seeing Zhao Ji's anxious appearance, Ying Zheng became more and more angry and said with a sneer.
"Your Majesty, please let them go, they are also my children."
Zhao Ji cried and dragged Ying Zheng's leg and said.
"They're not, aren't they!?"
The angry Ying Zheng asked loudly: "Why do you plan to kill Gu, Gu is also your son!" ”
"Don't, don't, don't want Zheng'er!"
Zhao Ji stopped Ying Zheng and burst into tears, from beginning to end, she only begged to let go of the two children, and she didn't explain much about the rest, because they were all acquiescing to Ying Zheng.
"Let go!"
Faced with this relative who had plotted to kill him, Ying Zheng gave the last mercy.
"Come on, catch the person who just broke out of the window, and give him a lonely corpse."
"The king doesn't need it, the minister has already been caught."
I saw Ye Xiao holding a hand behind his back, pinching Zhao Si who had escaped earlier with one hand, and suddenly appeared.
And Zhao Si was frightened, frightened by Ye Xiao's methods.
Click!!
"Ah, I hope the king will forgive me, Weichen is careless, pinch him to death, and I can't let him break his body into thousands of pieces in front of him."
Ye Xiao said with a smile.
Then picked up the two babies in Zhao Si's arms and threw him away.
"King, these two children are still alive."
Facing the two babies who were about to die because of him, Ye Xiao didn't feel a little guilty, he himself was not a great figure, if he really did some justice in the eyes of others, it might be related to him.
"You executioner, you don't have to die well."
Zhao Ji, who was still tear-stained, bit Ye Xiao's arm fiercely, but Ye Xiao didn't care anymore, but handed the child to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng, who took over these two babies who belonged to his younger brother in the other sense, looked at the two babies who were still asleep, and fell to the ground suddenly.
For a moment, these two living beings died immediately, and the silent blood spread from the swaddling clothes to the ground.
"Nope! My baby. ”
Zhao Ji fell on the ground and cried heartbreakingly.
At this moment, Ying Zheng reminded him of Zhao Ji and himself back then, looking at Zhao Ji who was in pain, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, after all, this was his mother, who had protected him and comforted his mother.
"The king is decisive, the minister admires, he is the king, he is unkind, not to mention that these two sons will become troubles in the future, and it is even more difficult to block the mouth."
Ye Xiao, who was watching quietly, looked at Ying Zheng, who was in a bad mood, and explained.
"Hmph, the king, he is affectionate, but the lonely national teacher seems to be more affectionate than the lonely, and the national teacher should do better in this regard."
Avoiding the blood under his feet, the red-eyed Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Ye Xiao and said coldly.
