The night shrouded Xianyang Palace, and the bright torches were lit, and the dim red firelight replaced the daylight.

On the corridor of the carved beams and paintings in the palace, those strange birds and beasts that look exquisite images during the day, under the cover of the night, seem to be free from the pillars at any time, galloping in this world's first-class strict palace.

The Xianyang Palace at night, compared with the day, has a little more mystery and horror, and less light and grandeur.

A team of officers and officers are stubborn and stubborn, with torches in their left hands and torches in their right hands, shuttling back and forth, not letting go of any suspicious person, and they have the right to stop anyone.

"Lang Guan" should actually be "Lang Guan", which means the officers and soldiers under the corridor, "Lang" leads to "Lang", so it is called "Lang Guan", also known as the Praetorian Guard.

A team of Lang officials, put Lang down.

Five lower langs, one middle lang.

Five middle langs, one upper lang.

All Shanglang are under the jurisdiction of Lang Zhongling.

Lang Zhongling, the secretary of the Qin State, has an annual salary of 2,000 stones.

"Stop!"

The two figures who were walking one after the other on the palace road collided head-on with a team of Lang officials, and the lower Lang of this team of Lang officials immediately stopped the two.

"No."

The two of them stopped as they were told.

If you don't stop, Lang Guan has the right to cut first and then play.

If they didn't listen to Lang Guan's shouts and continued to walk, they would be greeted by a sharp bronze Changge in the next second.

Xia Lang raised his palm, all the Lang officials stopped, and twenty beeping torches dispelled the darkness, and the two people who shone were delicate.

The first was a small eunuch wearing a blue and black coarse linen eunuch uniform, and the latter was a man with a black veil on his face and a splendid court robe.

Xia Lang's gaze passed over the little eunuch and landed on the masked man behind him.

Walking masked in the palace?

Shimo's eyes swept over the sleeves of the masked man's robes and saw a black stain on them, recognizing that it was dried blood, and his pupils constricted.

He put one hand behind his waist, loosened and clenched it tightly - this meant that all the officers were on guard.

"Knock~"

Twenty Chang Ge paused slightly.

Xia Lang heard the voice and knew that all the Lang officials were ready for battle, staring at the masked man with full attention, and said in a low voice: "Password!"

"Moonlight." The little eunuch replied.

Xia Lang's heart was slightly relieved, and he nodded, the password was right.

Xianyang Palace, the night password changes every hour, and there is no regularity.

"Who is he?" Xia Lang's eyes were fixed on the masked man, but it was the little eunuch who asked.

This is because Xianyang Palace also has a potential rule, try not to interrogate those who can answer the password correctly and are different from ordinary people.

No one knows if there are any people who deal with secret matters for the First Emperor and cannot see the light - such as those secret guards who come without a shadow and go without a trace.

Except for the dark guard leader Gai Nie, the deputy commander Zhao Gao, and all the Lang officials below Zhonglang who are still alive, they have never seen other secret guards.

"I'm Chuan, and I'm on an errand in Zhangtai Palace. This is Li Tingwei, His Majesty ordered me to send Li Tingwei out of the palace. ”

Tingwei!

Xia Lang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Meet Lord Tingwei!"

Tingwei is the secretary of the Qin State, a senior official with an annual salary of 2,000 stones, and he is a small man, with an annual salary of only 150 stones, which is far from Tingwei.

"Excuse me, can I go?" A slurred, slurred voice came from the masked man's mouth. "Tonight, this is the seventh time Si has been stopped!"

Wear a black veil in the palace, which patrol brother would dare to let you go?

Xia Lang heard Li Si's dissatisfaction, and he was also dissatisfied and said, "Let go!" ”

The armor roared in unison, and a group of Lang officials made way for the little eunuchs and masked men to pass through.

When the little eunuch and the masked man walked halfway to the passage of Langguan, Xia Lang said as if unintentionally: "Chuan, how long have you been waiting for Your Majesty?" It's almost time to take the turn, right? ”

The little eunuch called Chuan kept walking, but there was a hint of a smile in his voice: "No, I took office at the time of Youshi, and I waited for Your Majesty for less than half an hour, and I can only be on duty for a moment." ”

The eunuchs of Zhangtai Palace are on duty, which is three hours plus a quarter of an hour, and this kind of secret matter is difficult to know if they are not on duty in Zhangtai Palace.

Xia Lang completely relaxed at this time, and shouted at the little eunuch who had already walked out of the Langguan passage: "Hard work!"

The little eunuch did not respond, but the masked man's masked and inarticulate angry voice came back: "Si has heard similar words seven times!" ”

Xia Lang smiled, shrugged his shoulders at his brothers, and smiled, "It's not a big mistake to be careful."

The officials smiled.

This is the way for these low-level petty officials to survive.

If the masked man they let go tonight was an assassin, according to Qin law, their entire team of Lang officials would be beheaded.

"Shhhh

"Big brother is going to ask a different question in the future, and other teams are asking the same question, it's not safe enough."

"Just be cautious, you kid, leave this matter to you, come up with a question that other teams don't have, and the brothers will pool money to send you to the building for a meal!"

"Hehe, can I order a concubine more?"

"! Go for something good! ”

In this strict and cold palace wall, this pair of Lang officials had a rare moment of pleasure, and it was just a moment.

Then, one by one, they grabbed the torches, held Changge tightly, and continued to be cautious in their words and deeds, concentrating on patrolling.

They walked in unison, twenty people, but there was only one sound of their footsteps landing, they were like twenty robots.

The moment of whispering and laughing just now seemed to have never appeared.

'Whoosh'.

Just in front of this group of Lang officials, a figure suddenly appeared, like a ghost, and stopped them.

All the Lang officials were like facing a great enemy, their muscles were tense, and the bronze Changge in their hands was ready to swing out at any time.

When the firelight shone out the face of the figure, the Lang officials breathed a sigh of relief, and the subordinate Lang led by him first clasped his fists and saluted, and then said apologetically but resolutely: "Password!"

"Moonlight."

"Meet Lord Chefu Ling, don't blame Lord Chefu Ling."

The person who came was the Xianyang Palace, whether it was Lang officials, palace maids, or eunuchs, all knew the CRRC Mansion Order, Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao stood there, his expression indifferent, he didn't mean to say more to this team of Lang officials, and said bluntly: "Can you see a eunuch leading a black-veiled masked man passing by here?"

All Lang Guan's hearts sank, and they all thought about it.

Lord Chefu ordered Lord Che to chase after him personally, could it be that there was really something wrong with those two people!

Do you want to give an account of my life?

If you knew this was the case, you should be more cautious!

Xia Lang was also confused, but he didn't dare to hide it and not report it.

If the two were assassins, and he said he did, then his team would have been beheaded.

If he said that he didn't see it, it would be verified afterwards that all the Lang officials in this team were from the three clans.

"Back to my lord, there are indeed two people who have passed by here."

"Where did you go?"

"Go this way."

Shiro turned and pointed to the path where the two had left.

Sou~

When he turned around again, there was no one in front of him, and Zhao Gao was gone.

Seeing this scene, all the Lang officials breathed a sigh of air, and they all had a feeling of the rest of their lives.

If those two were really assassins, Zhao Gao would ask them to stay where they were and not to move.

"Volt." Shiro called.

"Big brother." The extraordinarily cautious Lang official just now responded.

"Think about a few more, brothers will make you a concubine."

"His mother's, I won't eat meat next month! I'll pay fifteen dollars! ”

"Birds, no one is short of a bite to eat, and I am also fifteen!"

"Vo, my family is rich. I'll make up for what everyone can't get together! ”

Fang Cai laughed and begged for a concubine, and when he heard Xia Lang's promise and the words of his brothers, he didn't have the joy of making his dream come true.

The officer, who was recognized as the most cautious in the ranks, looked back with apprehension.

The deep night was like the huge jaws of the beasts of the wilderness, and the slightest mistake would swallow up their twenty lives.

"No." Fu cautiously parted ways.

What he shouldered on his shoulders was not to come up with a few problems, but to take out a team of Lang officials and a talisman for twenty lives.

……

Zhao Gao appeared suddenly, startling the little eunuch and the masked man.

The little eunuch bowed his hand.

Seeing that it was Zhao Gao, the masked man suddenly tore off the veil on his face, and said with a gloomy gaze: "Zhao Gao, are you here to see the joke?!"

I saw that Li Si's face was swollen into a pig's head, and it was blue and black, purple and red, as if he had thrown his head into a dark dye vat.

Zhao Gao didn't respond to Li Si, looking at the miserable situation on Li Si's face, there was no emotional ups and downs, and said lightly: "Password."

"Moonlight." The little eunuch replied.

Zhao Gao walked into Li Si and handed Li Si a bottle of black medicine bottle with a delicate shape, printed with the totem of the Qin Kingdom, and half a palm-sized.

"Apply externally, three times a day, and it will be cured in three days. This is a special foreign medicine for His Majesty, and Li Tingwei is the second person to use this medicine, and His Majesty ordered me to bring a message to Li Tingwei. ”

Li Si's expression moved, and the pig's head, which looked funny and pitiful, showed a look of great joy, and he was about to bow his hand.

was stopped by Zhao Gao and couldn't move his arms.

Li Si was shocked, and finally determined that even if Zhao Gao was punished with ten rods, it would be easy to kill him.

"It doesn't have to be like this, it's not a holy will, Your Majesty said he just said it casually." Zhao Gao and low said: "The sub-sealing system is the Zhou system, Zhou is the Qin extinction, and the Qin imitation Zhou system is not beautiful in the end."
