Chapter 773: The fortress collapsed from within
In the dark mausoleum, there are only a few points of the brilliance of the ever-bright lamp, and the white and smooth jade seal exudes a soft light.
There was a sound of footsteps, and a black-robed man with a white face and narrow eyes walked out of the darkness, respectfully bowed, and said with a grudge on his lips: "Your Majesty, you finally remembered Gao." β
The voice is sharp, neither male nor female, and it sounds goosebumps and twists. He bowed his head to worship not really respectfully, but to hide his greed for the heirloom jade seal.
The first emperor, who was moody, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard this, to be honest, he didn't like this guy very much, if he had the chance, he would definitely kill him.
Back then, he summoned and killed the crown prince to help Hu Hai ascend to the throne, pointed to the deer as a horse, controlled the government, and the good Great Qin Empire was broken by him within a few years. The first emperor's life's hard work and achievements were buried like this, how can he not hate?
But there is no way, this is an extraordinary time, and all available resources must be mobilized, and Zhao Gao and his subordinates' nets are the high-end combat power that the First Emperor urgently needs.
In this situation, although Zhao Gao behaved humbly and deferentially, he actually sat firmly in Diaoyutai. The First Emperor pinched his nose and lifted Zhao Gao's ban, and he must ask for something.
The First Emperor ordered his guards to briefly explain the current situation.
"You and I have already died once, and everything in the past has been written off." The First Emperor pointed to the Soul Envoy who had been surrounding him, and said, "You have also seen the situation now, those living people want to send us all to the underworld. The only way we can stay on earth is to stop them! Grab your men and go for reinforcements now! β
With the words of the First Emperor, an invisible shackle bound Zhao Gao's soul. Eunuchs are just vassals of imperial power, and they may be able to steal part of the imperial power for their own use when the emperor does not want or cannot control the imperial power, but when they encounter a strong role like the first emperor, they are naturally suppressed, and they can only obediently clamp their tails and act as dogs.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao bowed to the leader's order, and left the mausoleum arranged like a court hall backwards.
Outside the door, six masked swordsmen of different shapes stood lazily, in stark contrast to the tall and solemn guards of the First Emperor.
It wasn't until Zhao Gao came out that they straightened up a little and bowed.
At this moment, a yin wind swept byβthere is no wind in the normal underground palace, this is a yin wind from the underworld. A skeleton glanced at Zhao Gao slightly, and Rao is eunuch, who had been stinking for thousands of years, couldn't help but take a step back in fear.
However, Yin Feng ignored Zhao Gao, but went straight through the wall and entered the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
The yin wind that gathered was more than this, and it entered through the wall from all directions, and ordinary physical obstacles could not stop it at all. Their primary target is the First Emperor, and as for the other minions, they don't have time to deal with them for the time being.
And the First Emperor sat on the dragon chair, relying on the light protection of the jade seal of the country to fight against the yin wind of the underworld.
"Fuck off! I am the emperor, I am ordered by the heavens, and I will live forever! The roar of the First Emperor came from the mausoleum, full of trepidation and unease.
Zhao Gao turned his back to his body, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
He quickly calmed down his emotions and beckoned, "Zhengang, you have a new mission." β
At the same time, several spiders crawled out of him and disappeared into the dark dungeon corridors
ββββ
"General Meng, you go down and rest first. Just leave it to Gao here. β
After Zhen Gang waited for the Six Sword Slaves to go up, Meng Yi, who had been fighting fiercely for a long time, finally withdrew, and there were only three of the First Emperor's personal guards who withdrew with him, and they were scarred. If they don't withdraw, they could die at any time.
Although Meng Yi is determined to live and die with the Panlong Pillar, since there are reinforcements, he will take turns first, and it will not be too late to sacrifice at the last moment. The first priority is to repair the wound on the neck and restore the psionic energy.
He was not polite, but hugged his fists and said, "Get rid of it." β
Zhao Gao watched Meng Yi leave, slowly turned around, and rubbed the third dragon pillar with his palm.
A pale blue ghost spider crawled onto his hand, shaking its eight legs and making an inaudible squeak.
The corners of Zhao Gao's mouth turned up again, this time there were only brainless Qin Warriors around, and he no longer needed to hide it.
The six sword slaves who were originally on the front line retreated, causing the Qin army's formation composed of masters to collapse instantly, and the military spirit was naturally self-defeating.
The dragon army was full of spirit, and swooped in until it was in front of the dragon pillar. The dragon-shaped phantom transformed by the military qi was only more than ten centimeters away from Zhao Gao, and the four eyes were facing each other, confirming the information with each other.
Under the cover of military spirit, the elite regiment smashed in like a bamboo. Chen Qing took the lead, sledgehammer out, hammering and blasting one Qin figurine after another. Rolling also squeezed in, slapping over several Qin figurines.
The organized Qin figurines are elite, and the unorganized Qin figurines are garbage. Now, these ancient Qin figurines, who have been fighting with the elite group for a long time, have lost their command and become garbage.
"My lord, the retreat has been cleared, and we can retreat."
Zhao Gao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry!" β
He has the soul bound by the First Emperor, and he can't flash directly. Only when Xiang Ningxuan destroys the Panlong Pillar and introduces the power of the underworld, will the First Emperor take care of himself.
This eunuch imprisoned in the soul plane has no loyalty. As long as he can keep himself, he will not hesitate to destroy the entire Great Qin.
The First Emperor thought that he had no other choice, but in fact, when the first Panlong Pillar was destroyed, the magic circle that imprisoned Zhao Gao was already unstable.
It was at that time that Zhao Gao got on the line with Xiang Ningxuan. Whether it was the underworld or the imperial tomb, he didn't want to stay because he had other options.
After bargaining, Zhao Gao and Xiang Ningxuan reached a preliminary intention. Xiang Ningxuan would let Zhao Gao leave the Imperial Tomb and defeat the First Emperor to help him break free from his shackles permanently, at the cost of Zhao Gao betraying Great Qin.
Betraying Daqin or something, it's no problem for Zhao Gao at all. And just now, he also confirmed that the First Emperor was indeed affected by the power of the underworld.
As long as the third dragon pillar is destroyed, the First Emperor may not be able to take care of himself, and as long as the Long Xiang army opens the way, Zhao Gao will be able to break away from the Imperial Tomb Underground Palace before the First Emperor reacts. As soon as the first emperor died, he Zhao Gao was not afraid of heaven and earth.
And so the deal was done.
At this time, Zhao Gao could not defect blatantly, but a strategic retreat was still possible. Didn't Meng Yi withdraw just now? We fought and fought, and it was reasonable to retreat if we couldn't fight, but we just retreated in a hurry.
Just now, Zhao Gao's spider had already reconnoitred and confirmed that the retreat was safe.
History has proven countless times that even the strongest fortress can be breached from within.
Waiting for Xiang Ningxuan to destroy the third dragon pillar, Zhao Gao used the excuse of outflanking the enemy and left from another passage with the six sword slaves, the intelligence of the Qin Warriors was not enough to judge the truth or falsehood, so he let them leave.
And the Long Xiang army has been ordered to get out of the way.
It's not that Xiang Ningxuan really wants to keep his promise, it's really that Zhao Gao and the Six Sword Slaves are very strong, not as good as Meng Yi, but they can also rank among the pseudo-legends. Without the top masters to lead the team, they can only drag on time, and they can't be stopped at all, so it's better to let them go directly.
When the initial emperor was able to occupy Xianyang, it was also because Zhou Chenglin retreated without authorization. Now, finally, it was his turn to taste the consequences. Sure enough, it's retribution!
