The moonlight turned into a milky way, and was just about to fall when it was blocked by the blowing clouds.

There was no light in the palace except for the candles carried by the patrol guards.

Outside the eunuch's mansion not far away, several sturdy men touched it timidly.

"Brothers, listen up, this eunuch dares to contradict the eldest son with Zhao Gao's support, we are not killing people for money, just to avoid the eunuch from becoming bigger in the future, and help the prince sweep away the threat in advance."

Several people behind him nodded one after another, looking like they had come for the righteousness.

Then they drew their blades and gently pushed open the courtyard door.

The clouds drifted away, and the moonlight finally fell.

The dim courtyard also brightened up.

The lieutenant froze in place.

He swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhao Gao, who had just finished walking out of the house, and a few cronies.

The two looked at each other without saying a word.

Zhao Gao looked at the sneaky lieutenant, and he was puzzled for a while, why didn't he take turns to bring people here today.

He glanced at the half-hidden door behind him, which still smelled of blood.

Although it is in accordance with His Majesty's wishes, this matter cannot be put on the table, in case it is found to be a big trouble, then he can only take the blame Zhao Gao was a little flustered for a while.

And the lieutenant couldn't figure out what this eunuch was doing in the courtyard of the eunuch's mansion at night.

Visiting an injured subordinate?

Suddenly, he coughed weakly.

"Ahem! It's so late, and Zhao Fuling is still handling affairs in the Eunuch Mansion? What a hard work! ”

Zhao Gao also put on a polite smirk.

"The lieutenant is also busy, I remember that it doesn't seem like you are on duty today, and you are here to patrol so late? It's really hard work. ”

Both sides grasped each other's sore spots, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

The body has not been disposed of, and the lieutenant does not dare to move if he does not leave.

After all, the lieutenant took the eldest son's money and didn't want to come in vain, no matter what, he had to look at the eunuch, remember what he looked like, so as to find another opportunity to kill him.

The two sides stood awkwardly and confronted each other.

This stalemate lieutenant is nothing, Zhao Gao is a little anxious.

I have been caught, I have to send them away quickly, otherwise the more it drags on, the more it may be a big problem.

So Zhao Gao touched his arms, but he didn't want to go out tonight because he didn't bring any money.

Helpless, he could only take off the wooden pendant hanging from his waist.

This pendant is shaped like a jade pendant, but it exudes a burst of sweet fragrance, and it is his favorite treasure.

But now, at a critical moment, he hesitated twice and finally threw it at the lieutenant with all his heart.

"Today's work is the meaning of the above, and it is clear that it cannot be said, and if the lieutenant lifts it, no one will be able to do well."

"Our family doesn't let the brothers run in vain, this wood ornament is a collection of the Chu royal family, extremely precious, enough for the brothers to live for a few years, just today nothing happens, okay?"

The lieutenant subconsciously caught the wooden pendant, but the person was a little stunned and couldn't help blurting out.

"You're here to kill too?"

Zhao Gao saw that the other party caught it, and he thought that he was spending money to eliminate the disaster.

didn't want the other party's words to make him almost collapse.

Instantly understand that the other party has the same purpose as yourself.

Your Majesty can't leave one thing to two people, so the lieutenant must have been sent by the eldest son.

He looked at the wooden ornaments thrown out and immediately regretted it.

You should have said it earlier! Oh my darling.

In this day and age, there is no reason to take back rewards and gifts.

Zhao Gao could only wave his hand angrily and let his subordinates go back to the house to continue to dispose of the corpse.

But the lieutenant was entangled, this person didn't have to do it himself, and he received two copies of the money, so he always felt a little weak.

He cautiously opened his mouth to discuss with Zhao Gao.

"Can I wait in and make up for two cuts? That's a lot of trust! ”

Zhao Gao suddenly rolled his eyes, and he didn't have a good airway.

"People are dead, what do you want to do, what's the matter with me."

A quarter of an hour later, the contented lieutenant left happily with his brothers.

Zhao Gao had a gloomy face.

It's really worthy of the two of them, and they are really thoughtful, phew! Not a good one!

After the two groups left, silence returned to the palace.

Equally quiet, there is also the Book Mountain Pavilion of the Imperial Palace.

This is the equivalent of Qin Shi Huang's study, with rows of bamboo books.

Ying Zheng sat at the table, holding a roll of bamboo slips and reading carefully.

In front of him, a man in black was half-kneeling.

"Your Majesty! Zhao Gao has left the eunuch mansion with his cronies, and the investigation of Weichen has been dealt with. ”

Ying Zheng didn't look away from the bamboo slip, but nodded slightly.

The man below continued to report back.

"The people who participated in the handling were all his cronies, and he had a good relationship with that eunuch, so after thinking about it, he would no longer be loyal to Zhao Gaoding."

The man glanced up at Yingzheng slightly, and when he saw that there was no response, he continued.

"It's just that in the process, the lieutenant of the forbidden army also took two scattered officers to the miscellaneous courtyard, and he happened to meet Zhao Gao."

"Wei Chen inquired, except for pulling the lieutenant and whispering something when the eldest son left the palace in the morning, there was no other motive."

It wasn't until this sentence that Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slip in his hand and smiled.

"This kid is getting better and better!"

In a better mood, he finally looked at Meng Yi.

"Arrange for someone to take a look at Zhao Gao more, don't ask this celebrity favorite to do anything out of the ordinary again!"

Meng Yi nodded yes, but his frowning brows did not relax.

Sure enough, the next moment, Ying Zheng sighed and asked that question again.

"It's been three months, and that bowl of soup hasn't been found yet?"

Meng Yi bowed his head in shame.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is Weichen who is incompetent, and there is no clue after finding out about Nanyue, and it is impossible to determine whether it is a person from Nanyue behind Weichen!"

Ying Zheng's face turned cold.

"A little South Vietnam, not so bold, and not so capable of reaching into the palace!"

"Continue to investigate, now I can't find out a little bit after the army sets foot in Baiyue! I don't believe that the other party can leave no trace, no matter who it is, I must uproot it and leave no one! ”

Meng Yi bowed and hurriedly said yes!

Ying Zheng also knew that this matter was not easy, and did not force Meng Yi again.

"How's the North now?"

Meng Yi breathed a sigh of relief and reported.

"Our spies in the north have suffered heavy losses lately, but we have been able to get reliable information."

"The royal court is already preparing to launch a large army to break through the Yue clan and completely take the north before the rainy season this year!"

Ying Zheng's brows were also furrowed.

"You can't let the Huns get bigger, you have a way to sabotage the other party's plan!"

Who knew that Meng Yi was embarrassed again.

"Originally, Weichen was going to divide some of the big Donghu tribes on the east side of the Xiongnu, inducing them to start a war and involve the other party's energy, so that the Yue clan could have a chance to breathe, so that it would consume more Xiongnu troops."

"But recently, for some reason, many Hu spies we have collected have been discovered."

"As a result, our influence on the major tribes on the east side of the Xiongnu is ......."

Meng Yi hesitated for a moment, and glanced at Ying Zheng carefully before he spoke.

"Almost all lost."

Ying Zheng's brows furrowed when he heard this, he did not doubt Meng Yi's ability.

Long before Ying Zheng was pro-government, all the work in this area of intelligence was done by Meng Yi.

Even when the Six Nations were pacified, Jia Xu, who traveled to the Six Countries on the surface, cooperated with him to make many achievements.

Now that the layout of several years has been cleaned up in a few months, Yingzheng is a little incredible.

"How so?"

Meng Yi replied helplessly.

Wei Chen guessed that it was likely that someone under him had a problem! Wechen is already checking one by one! ”

Ying Zheng didn't ask any more questions, and some questions needed to give his subordinates some time.

I stood up and walked to the window, watching the bright moon in the sky gradually become enveloped by dark clouds.

"Are the nobles of the Six Kingdoms in various places honest lately?"

When asked this, Meng Yi was obviously relaxed.

"Although there is still some contact with the old clans in various places, the letters sent are not out of the ordinary, and they are honest."

Ying Zheng sighed.

"Killing them is easy to cause turmoil, and not killing them is a group of disasters, so it's embarrassing!"

"The Xiongnu in the north are growing, and there are many hidden dangers in the country, and the army really can't stay in Baiyue."

"But the soldiers are used to fighting, and now Daqin is like a chariot that can't be stopped, so many soldiers stay in the country without war, it is also a disaster, how to deal with it!"

Ying Zheng's frowning brow was like a dark cloud flashing with thunder and lightning, echoing the sky from afar.

……

Lightning finally fell, illuminating the entire palace instead of moonlight.

Ying Xuan, who was already getting better, woke up in the thunder.

He looked at the maid who had already been picked by Ren Jun and swallowed wildly.

His hands were uncontrollably trying to continue exploring, but reason kept warning him.

The person who assassinated him was never found, and everyone around him was suspicious.

Even the maid of the room must be on guard, once that kind of thing starts, Yingxuan does not guarantee that he can stay rational and guard against danger.

Finally, another thunderbolt struck, successfully pulling Ying Xuan's sanity back.

Ying Xuan was shocked, and forced the impulse to push the maid out of bed again.

Not to mention the maid this time, he scolded secretly, he is really not a man.

Looking at the lightning and thunder outside the house, Ying Xuan suddenly thought of it, and he didn't know where the strategist was? Are you still on your way? That's pathetic, too.

Ying Xuan couldn't help but shake his head,

"Unfortunately, I don't know where you are? Can't pick you up, alas! Take care! ”

After blessing, Ying Xuan plunged into the quilt, smelling the fragrance of the maid and gradually falling asleep.

Leaving only the bedside, a pair of green dog eyes scanned all the movements around him.

……

Outside Xianyang City, an embarrassed figure wearing a cloak and carrying a salute gradually walked in.

Looking at the closed city gate, his resolute gaze couldn't help but be a little helpless.

can only hide under the castle tower to avoid the rainy night.

"Thousands of miles to vote, I don't know who this young master is, whether it's worth it or not!"
