Chapter 67: The undercurrent of the capital

"Weichen Dongfang Sheng knocks to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

Gu Xiao picked up the heavenly sword with both hands, which had now made a scabbard from thousand-year-old rosewood, and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the Heavenly Sword in Gu Xiao's hand, and his originally cloudy old eyes were full of greed at the moment, as if he could pounce on him and snatch the Heavenly Sword in Gu Xiao's hand at any time. Fortunately, he still didn't forget his identity after all, and barely pressed his ** and didn't pounce.

"Good! Good! Good! The emperor said hello three times in a row, and kept patting his thigh.

"Come, bring me the Heavenly Sword." The Emperor shouted.

"Your Majesty, Heavenly Sword." Zhuge Zheng stepped forward, took the Heavenly Sword from Gu Xiao's hand, and sent the Heavenly Sword to the emperor.

The emperor grabbed the Heavenly Sword and kept stroking the body of the Heavenly Sword, as if he was caressing the skin of a stunning beauty.

In the imperial study, the other people saw that the emperor valued this heavenly sword so much, and almost all of them had happy or sad expressions in their eyes. Only Gu Xiao's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain.

Of course, he knew why the emperor attached so much importance to the Heavenly Sword, because in the eyes of the emperor, this Heavenly Sword was no longer the supreme divine weapon left by Qin Shi Huang, symbolizing Qin Shi Huang's imperial power, but had become an immortal elixir that could make him immortal.

For this emperor, who has long pursued immortality and pursued to the point of going mad, now that he can just touch the Heavenly Sword like this, it can already be regarded as cultivation progress.

To be honest, Gu Xiao was wondering why he didn't immediately destroy the Heavenly Sword and take out the Immortal Pill.

Although Gu Xiao didn't believe it at all, the elixir in this heavenly sword could really make the emperor immortal. But he still wanted to see with his own eyes, what would happen to the emperor after eating this pill?

It's a pity that to Gu Xiao's disappointment, the emperor really didn't seem to have the intention of taking the elixir of immortality now, he just kept stroking the Heavenly Sword for a long time. He put down the Heavenly Sword.

"Dongfang wins!" The Emperor suddenly shouted.

Gu Xiao was stunned, stood up and replied: "Weichen is here!" ”

"Dongfang Sheng, you have made meritorious contributions to the Heavenly Sword, from now on, you will be appointed as the head of the Great Inner Guard!" The emperor stared at Gu Xiao and said word by word.

"Emperor Xie!" Gu Xiao replied.

Am I still the head of the East? Gu Xiao's face was impassive, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.

The emperor named him the head of the inner guard, which on the surface is simply the emperor's grace. After all. This is tantamount to the emperor has put his net worth and life into his own hands. But Gu Xiao knew very well that even if he became the head of the guard, he was destined to not get the military power.

The emperor just wanted to further put himself under his nose to monitor, and Gu Xiao could see the emperor's careful thinking at a glance.

It's just that what makes Gu Xiao puzzled is why the emperor chose to make himself the head of the internal guards, instead of other official positions?

To know. Once he becomes a close post next to the emperor like the head of the Ouchi guard, then if he wants to kill the emperor. That's just a gesture. I want to see that there are so many positions for myself, why did the emperor choose such one?

It seems that during the time I was not in the capital, there was really a new change in the capital? Gu Xiao remembered what Totoku said to himself, and a flash of realization flashed in his heart.

"Sheng'er, why did you hand over the Heavenly Sword to the Emperor?" Gu Xiao returned to the Hou Mansion. immediately ushered in Dongfang Hou's questioning.

After Dongfang Hou got the news of Gu Xiao's return to his home, he killed him as soon as possible, and the angry Xingshi asked for the guilt.

Dongfang Hou is really about to die of anger now, how can Qin Shi Huang's Heavenly Sword be handed over to the emperor? Doesn't this stabilize the emperor's already precarious country?

Dongfang Hou now especially wanted to grab Gu Xiao's collar and ask him: Whose son are you?

Gu Xiao glanced at Dongfang Hou. He said indifferently: "It's just that I put the Heavenly Sword there for the time being!" ”

"Confused! Could it be that you think the Heavenly Sword can still be taken back? Dongfang Hou shouted.

Gu Xiao asked, "Father, do you think that if the Heavenly Sword is in our hands, we can keep it now?" ”

Dongfang Hou was stunned for a moment and didn't speak for a long time.

Lose! The answer to this is yes.

If the Heavenly Sword is in the hands of the Emperor, it will be fine, for example, although there is a situation where the heroes have their own side, but nominally the Emperor is still the lord of the world after all, and the Heavenly Sword is placed in him, no matter who it is, he can't say even half a word. However, if the Heavenly Sword was in the hands of their father and son, it would be different.

Their father and son don't have a righteous reputation at all, and even if they get the Heavenly Sword, it's only a temporary obtain.

In the future, there will inevitably be people coming to the door to seize the Heavenly Sword, so they won't have to do anything else.

Because of this, Gu Xiao would assert that even if they obtained the Heavenly Sword, they would not be able to keep it.

Gu Xiao looked at Dongfang Hou who was sitting in the chair, and turned around and left silently. Now, his cheap old man has gotten into the horns, so he can only let him turn the corner by himself.

"You're back." As soon as Gu Xiao returned to the room, Feng Suzhen greeted him.

Gu Xiao nodded indifferently and said, "I'm back." ”

Feng Suzhen stepped forward and helped Gu Xiao take off his robe, revealing a strong suit inside.

Gu Xiao sat on the chair and asked, "How are you doing?" ”

"It's fine!" Feng Suzhen immediately showed a happy expression when she heard this, and almost cried, this was the first time he asked about his situation.

Gu Xiao saw Feng Suzhen's appearance, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and sighed in his heart: Another infatuated woman!

Feeling and feeling, he still has something to ask now.

Gu Xiao asked, "Has something happened in the capital recently?" When I entered the city, I found that the whole capital was in chaos! ”

To be honest, Gu Xiao really didn't understand what it was that could make the people in the entire capital become so hurried.

Even if someone wants to rebel, it is only a matter for the upper echelons, and it is not about these ordinary people.

When Feng Suzhen heard this, a surprised expression immediately appeared on her face, and she said, "If you want to talk about strange things, there really is one thing." ”

"What's the matter?" Gu Xiao became interested, he was really interested, what was it that could make the entire capital people become so flustered.

"Recently, a large number of fake copper coins have suddenly appeared in the capital, and the fake copper coins are mixed with real copper coins, which makes the people of the entire capital suspicious, and now there are a lot fewer people doing business!" Feng Suzhen slowly said the strange things that had happened recently, and when she spoke, there was a trace of unspeakable doubt in her tone.

She really didn't understand, since there were conditions for minting fake money, why didn't she just mint real copper coins?

In a trance! The teacup in Gu Xiao's hand fell in response to the sound and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Are the four famous catchers finally coming together? (To be continued......)
