Xianyang Palace.

Generally speaking, when anyone comes to Xianyang Palace, what he notices must be those grand and majestic palace walls, magnificent palaces, and of course the kings and concubines living in this palace.

But few people often notice other people, those who walk around the palace every day, diligently do various tasks for the sake of the king and his wife, but are often ignored by others.

In this era, people called them temple people, and in later generations, they had a more famous name called eunuch.

Eunuchs are also divided into many types, such as those who sweep the floor, those who serve water, those who raise horses, those who cook rice, and so on.

Compared with the noble people living in the palace, these eunuchs can be said to be so humble that they are in the dust.

But there are also some eunuchs. Although they also lost the thing that is regarded as the most important thing for men, they are not as lowly as dust, but can still gain the respect of the ruler.

Huo is such a eunuch.

In the palace, when other eunuchs saw him, they would call him very respectfully: "Old ancestor."

No one knows when Hou entered the palace, but if we use this question to ask other eunuchs in Xianyang Palace, they will make the same reply in unison: "When I entered the palace, the ancestor was already there."

No one knew that this old eunuch in charge was the famous time, just as few people in Xianyang Palace now remembered the time when the Qin Dynasty was powerful in the world ten years ago or even longer.

After all, it's all over.

Just like the hegemony of Daqin, the current old eunuch "waiting" has reached the end of his life.

In a confined room without anyone else, Hou with white hair was lying quietly on the couch, his face was covered with wrinkles and old-fashioned spots, and his eyes were completely turbid.

No matter who can tell, his death is already a matter of time.

A burst of rapid footsteps came, followed by a questioning voice: "Where are people, are they still alive?"

"Go back to the king, I have a breath."

"Why are you still standing there? Open the door!"

It seemed that because of hearing this sound, Hou's body shook slightly, and the light in his eyes seemed to quickly become clear again.

Soon, King Chu of Qin appeared in front of the wait bed.

"You all go out for me!"

After scolding the palace doctor and other idle people, King Chu of Qin sat down on the side of the wait.

Hou's lips trembled slightly, and then he spoke, "Big... King."

King Chu of Qin grabbed Hou Cang Lao's right hand palm, sighed softly, and said, "I'm late."

Regarding the old man in front of him, Qin Wang Chu actually did not have much interaction with him. After all, Qin Wang Chu only had only been the same for so many years.

But as early as when King Qin Xiaowen and King Zhao Zhu, the father of King Qin, was alive, he told King Qin that if there was still a person who was truly loyal to Qin in this world, then this person must be the wait.

So King Chu of Qin trusted this old man.

But now, this man is leaving this world, leaving the Qin State and the Qin King Chu whom he is loyal to.

When any monarch discovers that a minister who is absolutely loyal to him dies, he will feel sad like the King of Qin and Chu in his heart.

Hou tried hard to pull the muscles on his face, barely showed a smile, and said, "Big, the king is so serious. The old minister has already lived for a long time and has lived enough. Now he just wishes that he can live a few more years and can continue to serve the king and serve the king."

King Chu of Qin sighed, "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Hou thought for a while and said, "I once had a young brother before entering the palace. Now my eldest son, the eldest son of the young brother, has just reached Guan, and is an official in Xianyang, named Zhang Han. If the king gives mercy on him and can take care of this son, it would be a blessing for me."

"Zhang Han?" King Chu of Qin nodded and said, "I remember. Let's do this, front-line battles are also dangerous. I will let him enter the Shao Mansion to do things for the Wang family."

Hou showed a grateful expression and said, "Do, thank you, the king."

Suddenly, after a severe cough, he rolled his eyes suddenly and almost passed away.

King Chu of Qin was startled and subconsciously reached out to pat Hou's back. When he was about to call the doctor outside the room, his hand was suddenly grabbed by Hou.

"Great, king, there is no need. I have no trouble. By the way, I still have important things to report to the king."

King Chu of Qin glanced at him and confirmed that he would not die for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What's the matter? You don't have to work so hard, just say it slowly."

Hou smiled reluctantly and said, "If you don't tell me this, I will never be able to die with my eyes."

After another severe cough, Hou finally spoke slowly: "King, I have made some progress in the matters in Xianyang City that I had previously investigated."

"What?" King Chu of Qin suddenly felt energetic as soon as he sounded.

For King Chu of Qin, Xianyang City was captured by Li Mu twice, which was undoubtedly a great humiliation.

What made Qin King Chu even more angry was that during the experience of the two destruction of Xianyang City, there were people working with Zhao people inside and outside, which eventually led to all this happening.

At first, King of Qin handed over this matter to his confidant Lu Buwei for investigation, but Lu Buwei did not get any useful results after the investigation. In addition, Lu Buwei was busy with affairs as a prime minister, King of Qin could not keep Lu Buwei staring at this matter.

So King Chu of Qin handed over the investigation of this matter to Hou.

Speaking of which, it has been a long time since the incident, and even King Chu of Qin himself has almost forgotten about this matter.

It was not until now that King Chu of Qin recalled this incident again.

So King Chu of Qin immediately asked, "Do you find out who is instructing him behind the scenes?"

Hou coughed a few times, then slowly spoke, "King, from my investigation, my master's envoy behind the city breaking these two times should actually be the same person."

"Same person?" The cold light in Qin Wang Chu's eyes became even stronger, and he said angrily: "I didn't expect that such a scum would appear in my great Qin Dynasty. Tell me who this person is. I will send troops to kill the entire clan to serve as a warning!"

Hou smiled bitterly and said, "King, I have not found any exact evidence to prove who this person is. However, judging from the clues I have now, this person must be at a high position in the Qin Dynasty, and has a group of dead soldiers available, and can intervene in the investigation, and use the name of investigation to eliminate all evidence that is unfavorable to him."

King Chu of Qin frowned after hearing this, and after a moment, he said, "There doesn't seem to be many such people in the Qin Dynasty."

"Yes." Hou nodded with some difficulty, and then said word by word: "King, I think that Wu Chengjun Lu Buwei is the biggest suspect in this inner response!"

"What?" King Chu of Qin paused suddenly and was completely stunned: "Wu Chengjun?"

You must know that Wu Chengjun Lu Buwei is the great benefactor of Qin King Chu.

More importantly, King and Chu of Qin have always regarded Lv Buwei as their number one confidant. Even though they temporarily alienated Lv Buwei due to the imperial power, King and Chu of Qin have never doubted Lv Buwei's loyalty to himself and Qin.

But now, Hou was telling Qin King Chu that it was Lu Buwei, who was probably the number one traitor who cooperated with Zhao State and led to Li Mu's two defeats of Xianyang City?

The shock in Qin King Chu's heart is imaginable.

Hou nodded with great difficulty and said word by word to King Chu of Qin in front of him: "Big, great king, you must pay attention to Wu Chengjun!"
