"Tread, step, step."

A series of footsteps echoed through the gloomy, cold palace.

Nestled in a corner, Zhang Rang, who was huddled in a ball, raised his head and looked at the voice inquiringly. The clothes on his body have become extremely dirty, and no one standing in front of him can connect the current person with Zhang Rang in the past.

In the past, Zhang Rang was like a proud rooster, standing tall and arrogant, standing in front of others, and suddenly stood taller than others. Now he is like a beggar, desolate and panicked, and his eyes are even more gloomy.

When he heard the voice, his eyes finally had a little more brilliance. It was just a little bit, and in the past few days, he had hoped that someone would find him and save him. Unfortunately, those last hopes have all turned into disappointment, and now despair.

No one will find out about him.

In the palace, if there is only one person who has more control, he is Liu Xuan. was locked up like this, and then guarded by the Yulin Army, Zhang Rang really didn't know who could still enter here and find him.

In addition, the palace is glamorous on the surface, but in fact, there are many deserted and deserted palaces inside. These palaces are all known as cold palaces, and few people come to them on weekdays.

If a concubine loses her favor and is thrown into the cold palace, it also means the end of her life. After they entered the cold palace, they were worse than those palace maids, and the whole thing was like ghosts living in a forgotten place.

In the palace, no one knows how many cold palaces there are and how many concubines are beaten into the cold palace. Just as Zhang Rang doesn't know where he is in the palace now, and where he is.

Now, he's just hoping for a miracle.

When the arrival person completely appeared in his field of vision, Zhang Rang was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, ecstasy occupied his entire face.

Hope, the hope he waited for, came.

He stood up in surprise, because he couldn't believe it, he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, looked at it carefully, and finally put his mind at ease after finding that it was not a hallucination.

"Guo Sheng! Great, it's you! Hurry up and get me out. After taking a few steps forward, Zhang Rang felt a feeling of dizziness.

He was confined in this cold palace, and he struggled, and every time he struggled, he brought some small wounds on his body. Those soldiers of the Yulin Army who were guarding outside were not merciful at all, except that they did not kill him, he had suffered all the injuries he should have suffered.

For the confusion of the road ahead, the worry of safety, and the lack of a good rest. In addition, in the past few days, his eating and drinking have only been kept to a minimum, which can only ensure that he will not starve to death.

Now his body is extremely weak, his lips are chapped, and his whole throat and eyes are hot. If it weren't for Guo Sheng's arrival, Zhang Rang really didn't know how long he would be able to hold out and how long he would be able to live here.

Fortunately, Guo Sheng came.

After gasping for a while, Zhang Rang stood up and didn't fall like this.

He didn't get a response, raised his head, looked at Guo Sheng, and noticed that something was wrong. After looking more closely, the joy that had just appeared in his heart suddenly became low.

Guo Sheng was looking at him now, not as gentle and respectful as before, but instead with a kind of indifference. Very cold, disdainful, like what he used to show in front of those little eunuchs, it was exactly this kind of look when he looked at those little eunuchs.

That's right. How did Guo Sheng get in?

After the surprise, Zhang Rang thought of this question. He was locked up here by Liu Xuan, and the soldiers of the Yulin Army who guarded him outside. So, how did Guo Sheng get in? The soldiers guarding him could not have let him in.

There are also the two eunuchs standing behind Guo Sheng, the white silk in the hand of one eunuch, and the other eunuch holding the wine on the tray in both hands, all of which indicate something.

The more he thought about it, Zhang Rang's face became worse and worse, and when he got to the back, he was almost pale. He thought about why Guo Sheng appeared here and was able to stand in front of him.

The only answer is betrayal, Guo Sheng betrayed them.

No wonder, no wonder their plan would fail. It turns out that all this, in the final analysis, is because some of them are traitors, so they failed to kill Liu Wei! Instead, he was caught here.

"Zhang Rang, do you have today?" Guo Sheng smiled, looked at Zhang Rang, and expressed a sense of happiness in his chest.

The current Zhang Rang is too miserable. His face was covered with blood, and between speaking, he could see that he was missing a tooth. There were bruises in his eye sockets, which made him extremely funny. With the long hair scattered randomly and the strands of hair stuck together, Zhang Rang really looks like he is not much different from those beggars outside the palace.

Who would have thought that Zhang Rang would have such a day? Guo Sheng didn't think about it, because among them, there were also levels.

For example, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, as well as Jian Shuo, belong to the three of their ten permanent servants, the most powerful and trusted by His Majesty, and belong to the first level. On weekdays, other servants like him must also let them and respect them, otherwise they will not be much better than those officials who offend them.

Now, it's finally been completely reversed.

Zhang Rang, who used to need him to look up, now looks up at him, almost looking up. Plus it's not as good as anything, how can there be any traces of the past.

Zhang Rang's heart fell, and the sound of breaking in his heart could be heard. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he shuddered at the thought of the eunuchs who had died in the battle.

In order to climb up, he used many methods behind his back to remove all the people who stood in his way. At that time, he didn't feel anything, but now when he is faced with the same situation, he is also afraid. The eunuchs and eunuchs who were defeated under him in the past, and the fate after the defeat flashed in his mind.

In a hurry, Zhang Rang tore open his throat and shouted in a sharp voice: "Guo Sheng, you, you can't do this." ”

"I treated you very well in the past, you can't be so ungrateful!"

"Ungrateful?" The smile on Guo Sheng's face became brighter and brighter, he didn't remember what kindness Zhang Rang had for him, there were only those forces that instructed him and assigned him.

At that time, he was a regular servant, but he was not much different from a little eunuch. In front of Zhang Rang, how can there be any face and dignity? Coming and going as soon as he was called, he slapped his face with a bang, and he still had to face it with a smile.

Finally, he found his way back, and Zhang Rang also had to pay the price for a series of things he had done in the past. Of course, Zhang Rang can't be like him, and there is still a chance for revenge.

He won't let Zhang Rang go, only when Zhang Rang dies can he survive and gain the trust of the queen. From the time he chose to go to the queen and confess everything, it was doomed at that time, and he was going to break up with the original group.

"You... You—" Pointing at Guo Sheng, Zhang Rang's lips trembled, and he stepped back, as if this was the only way to give him some security.

Seeing Zhang Rang's appearance, Guo Sheng had a little more thoughts about playing with cats and mice, and snorted softly, "Hmph." So you know to be afraid, too? ”

"Get down on your knees now, maybe I might be able to spare your life. Zhang Changshi. The word Chang Shi deliberately in the back accentuated the tone, and Guo Sheng smiled and waited for Zhang Rang's answer.

"You..." Zhang Rang's face changed for a while, and he sighed dejectedly.

He knew that Guo Sheng was teasing him, and it was impossible for him to let himself go after kneeling. But so what? There is a life-saving rope hanging down, whether it is real or fake, you have to step forward and grab it.

What if, what if?

As for dignity and face, Zhang Rang doesn't care. When he was a little eunuch, he didn't have these things, and he didn't value these things that were not important at all. As long as you survive, what is it to kneel if you survive?

"Plop", Zhang Rang knelt down, his knees hit the ground, and there were bursts of hot pain.

"Hahahaha, you have this day too. It's, it's, it's so pathetic. Guo Sheng burst out laughing, and laughter filled the surroundings.

He was really happy, and when he saw Zhang Rang kneeling, he felt a burst of comfort in his heart. Refreshing! It's refreshing, and it's extremely satisfying.

Zhang Rang lowered his head, tried hard to control his emotions, and kept talking to himself in his heart. "As long as he can survive, survive, and wait for him to get out, now these things that Guo Sheng imposed on him, he can return them twice."

"Oh, what's wrong with Zhang Changshi, why did he suddenly kneel?" Guo Sheng scratched his head suspiciously, pretending to be surprised.

"What's going on? Who made Zhang Changshi kneel? People still have to have some dignity, at least, they should die with dignity. ”

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Rang's teeth grinded, making a slight sound. The last thing he wanted to hear, the last thing he wanted to face, had finally arrived. After he knelt down, that glimmer of hope, just in case, was completely cut off.

Turn against. Zhang Rang is also proficient in this move, but he doesn't want to, one day he will be fooled by a trick he is proficient in.

"For the sake of our old friendship, you can choose a way to die for yourself. Is it drinking poisoned wine? Or hanging? Guo Sheng said slowly.

Zhang Rang was silent, trying to escape with silence.

"The poison bar is wine, and it will be very comfortable to drink." "It's just that the death doesn't look good, but I'll have someone help you tidy up your appearance." ”

"Hang yourself? Oops, it doesn't seem to look very good. But it's better to be simple, and it won't bother others, you say? ”

"It's all death, so you're going to pick a way to die. Or, are you planning to come together? When you think about it this way, it seems like a good idea? Guo Sheng asked, but he was clearly asking and answering. He doesn't think that people like Zhang Rang will choose a way to die, and in the end, he still has to help Zhang Rang choose?

"Guo Sheng, you slut!" With a roar, Zhang Rang got up from the ground and rushed towards Guo Sheng.

If he wants to die, he will also pull a cushion on his back, it is impossible to make Guo Sheng feel better!

Guo Sheng took a step back and motioned to the two eunuchs who followed next to him. He specially brought two cronies with him, not for anything, but to prevent the current situation.

These two eunuchs, but they followed him, the eunuchs with the best body and great strength. No matter whether Zhang Rang will resist or struggle, it is useless, and he can't escape death.

Zhang Rang must die.

Two eunuchs rushed forward, one grabbed one of Zhang Rang's arms, and pressed him to the ground. Among them, the eunuch holding the tray was in a hurry, and when he put down the tray, he accidentally overturned the wine bottle, and the wine flowed sideways.

"It's a real effort." Guo Sheng, who was a little regretful, said to himself.

Now God has made a choice for Zhang Rang, after the poisonous wine is sprinkled, the only thing left is the white silk.

"Hang him."

Zhang Rang was constantly struggling, but it had no effect, how could he, who was extremely weak, be able to resist two sturdy eunuchs? Even when he was young, he might not be able to struggle.

Under his desperate gaze, a white silk had appeared at his throat and pulled towards the back.

"Dog eats dog." The princes of the Beacon Opera whispered outside, and only after seeing that Zhang Rang had been killed, did he turn around and leave.

Now things have become much easier, after Empress He made up her mind to kill the ten permanent servants, there will be no more variables in the entire Luoyang City and the palace.

The princes of the Beacon Opera have checked the information, and the reason why He Jin failed to kill the Ten Standing Servants in history was not because He Jin didn't want to start, but because the Ten Standing Servants had the protection of Queen He. Because of Empress He's protection, it will lead to a series of later changes.

Motherhood, motherhood made Queen He make the choice to protect the ten permanent servants. In order for the prince to argue that after he ascends the throne, there will be no dominance between the DPRK and China, so the other side is still needed to compete with each other.

The Ten Standing Servants are undoubtedly the best choice, and the status of eunuchs makes them the most loyal to the royal family. In addition to relying on the royal family, there is no one to rely on in the Ten Standing Servants, not to mention that there are so many people in the court who want to kill them.

Because of this, He Jin failed to kill the Ten Standing Servants at the first time, but was killed by the Ten Standing Servants by taking advantage of the opportunity. It also caused chaos in the entire court, allowing Dong Zhuo to take advantage of it and set up a new emperor.

Now the Ten Standing Servants took the initiative to take action, and the object was still his junior brother, Queen He's most precious Liu Wei, that is, the queen's reverse scales. In this way, Empress He will not follow the history and bless the Ten Standing Attendants, what she will do is to use resolute means to completely eliminate the Ten Standing Attendants.

Now, the edict sent to He Jin should have left the palace and arrived in He Jin's hands, right? Then what will happen next is incomparably simpler, eliminate the Ten Permanent Servants!
