Chapter 324: Longchi Axe and Tomahawk, Liu's Kingdom (5)(1/2)
Chapter 324: Dragon Pool Axe, Liu's Kingdom (Five)
Yan Le didn't delay any time.
After sending the guy from the east gate away, he immediately changed into a dress and went out.
When he went out, he didn't even look at the beautiful maid who was lying in a pool of blood, but just asked another beautiful maid to deal with the body. For Yan Le, killing a beautiful maid in the family was like crushing an ant to death, which was not worth making a fuss.
The beautiful maid who survived did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
Looking at the corpse that was gradually getting colder, the feeling of sadness suddenly arose in my heart. She died today, so what about tomorrow?
He ordered a few servants to bury the body in the back garden.
The beautiful maid sat alone by the pool and pondered for a while, gritted her teeth, got up and walked out of the garden.
He changed into simple clothes and greeted the housekeeper in the mansion. Yan Le had dozens of beautiful maids around him, and some even the palace maids Zhao Gao asked for from Ying Huhai from the palace to Yan Le. Zhao Gao still valued this son-in-law very much. First, there was indeed no one in his hands; secondly, although the adopted daughter was no longer there, the relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law was very strong.
The status of the beautiful maid in the mansion is quite good, so the butler didn't care.
She left the mansion, walked along the spacious streets of Xianyang, crossed the streets, and soon arrived at the entrance of a private house.
This house looks like it has been a year, and the paint on the door has begun to peel off. The beautiful maid looked around and saw that there was no one else, so she walked up the steps and gently knocked on the door knocker. After a while, the door opened, and an old man walked out and was stunned when he saw the beautiful maid.
"Chang'er, why are you here?"
The old Cangtou obviously knew this beautiful maid and asked softly.
"Are you here?"
"Staff Secretary Zhan just came back from the palace and was reading a book in the study."
Old Cangtou spoke and made a way out. The beautiful maid flew into the study.
The house is not big, and it is divided into two small courtyards inside and outside. In the middle is a hall. Old Cang took the beautiful maid and walked through the hall and went straight to the door of a house in the backyard. He signaled the beautiful maid to stop and go forward and knock on the door gently, "Master, the eldest brother is here to see you!"
"Come in!"
A slightly sharp sound came from the study room, with a hint of fatigue.
The beautiful maid hurriedly walked in and saw a circle of bookshelfs in the study room. There was a book case in the center, and an old man was sitting next to him.
He is about fifty years old and his hair is gray.
The mandible is bare, needless, fat face, and body look very rich, but it does not lose a bit of lustfulness.
"Chang'er, why are you here?"
The old man looked at the beautiful maid in surprise and asked in a low voice.
"Father, save the eldest son!"
The beautiful maid kneeled in front of the old man with a thud and cried, "Father, Yan Nu is dead and killed by Yan Le... This is the ninth sister he killed. Chang'er was afraid, afraid that when Yan Le would be killed, please save me!"
If Liu Kan is here, he can immediately recognize that this old man was the Huangmen, Baili Shui, who accompanied him back then.
Baili Shu had already had a certain status when Emperor Shiniu was alive. He even had the position of Baili Shu taking over the position of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank
The First Emperor was dead, but Baili Shu was still alive.
The situation he faced was not good. How could Zhao Gao's vengeful nature tolerate Baili Shui?
Fortunately, decades of career as an eunuch gave Baili Shu an extremely strong heart. He had nowhere to go and could only stay in the Xianyang Palace. Zhao Gao first removed his position as a secretary and asked him to take charge of the stables and do some very low things. Baili Shu endured it.
Later, he bribed several trustworthy yellow gates around Zhao Gao, and finally escaped the sea of suffering.
But Zhao Gao did not let him take real power, but only let him be responsible for training palace maids to please Qin Ershi. Baili Shu endured it again, and he did things tremblingly. After more than a year of time, he finally got the first step. Through the singing and dancing of palace maids, he was appreciated by Qin Ershi and regained his position as a secretary. At this time, it was not easy for Zhao Gao to suppress him.
However, Baili Shu was very clear. Compared with Zhao Gao, he was nothing in front of Qin Ershi.
So he lowered his posture again and never interfered in matters other than his responsibilities. Even within his jurisdiction, Baili Shu would ask Zhao Gao for instructions first. After a while, Zhao Gao was relieved and his life was a little better.
The beautiful maid in front of me and the killed Yan girl were palace maids trained by Baili Shu.
Zhao Gao later hated Qin Ershi, and Baili Shu did not stand up to object. In fact, even if he opposed it, would it be useful?
In this regard, Baili Technique is very self-aware.
The eldest daughter and Yan Nv were both palace maids that Baili Shu had loved very much at the time, and they regarded them as their own children.
When he heard that Yan Nu was killed, Baili Shu's heart suddenly felt like he was stabbed by a needle, covering his chest, and he couldn't say it for a long time.
"Chang'er, why did Yan Le kill Yan'er?"
The beautiful maid quickly told Baili Shu what she heard.
Baili Shu's heart skipped a beat and couldn't help but take a breath. He knew that Zhao Gao's attitude towards Zhang Han was not that Zhao Gao didn't want to touch Zhang Han, but that he had no excuses. Zhao Gao had deep concerns about Zhang Han, especially the higher the reputation of Zhang Han, the more afraid he was.
People like Zhao Gao hate all possible or have already threatened him.
This person's desire for power has reached a pathological level. As the Prime Minister of the Central Committee, he almost controlled all the power in the Guanzhong area. The only ones that were not under his control were probably Wang Li from the northern border and Zhang Han from Shandong. Wang Li from Shandong, who is no longer there!
Baili Shu remembers clearly that a few days ago, Zhao Gao heard that Wang Li was defeated and died in the battle, not only did he not feel sad, but instead held a banquet in the mansion. Among the entire Qin people, the person who threatened Zhao Gao the most was the Dongling Wang family, which was extremely authoritative in Guanzhong.
The prestige gathered by Wang Jian and Wang Ben’s generations cannot be ignored.
If not, how could Zhao Gao issue an edict to punish the Wang family in the Dongling after Wang Li’s death? He killed him cleanly after more than a hundred people in the Wang family. Now, he pointed the finger at Zhang Han again, which was clearly intended to completely destroy Lao Qin!
"Ah Father..."
Seeing that Baili Shu didn't speak, the eldest daughter couldn't help but scream.
"Chang'er, Ah's father is incompetent, I'm afraid..." Baili Shu closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and sighed softly, "Ah's father is just an insignificant little person. In the eyes of others, it may be quite glorious, but... behind Yan Le is the Prime Minister. Although I am determined to seek justice for the Yan Girl, I don't have this power. Chang'er, let's be patient, if I really can't..."
Baili Shu spoke, and a glimmer suddenly flashed in his eyes.
But then, it faded again.
"Father, please continue."
Baili Shu stood up, walked to the door of the study, opened the door. He poked his head out, looked outside for a moment, and then retreated.
"Chang'er, do you have courage?"
"As long as you can escape from the sea of suffering, you will have courage."
"I had a colleague in the past, but now... I heard that he was quite proud in the north. After Wang Li's death, he occupied Jiuyuan, Yunzhong and other places, and was also considered a prince who did not obey Zhao Gao. If you have the courage, I can write a letter and let him take care of you."
When the eldest daughter heard this, she widened her eyes and said softly: "Father, are you talking about Jiuyuan Destiny?"
"Oh, do you know him, too?"
"When the old thief Yan Le discussed matters with others, he sometimes did not avoid us. So Chang'er also vaguely heard of the Nine Yuan Destiny."
Baili Shu said: "He was the King of Beiguangwu and the Marquis of Guannei, who was personally appointed by the late emperor. He was accompanied by me in the east and served as the General of the Eagle and was one of the eight doctors. It's a pity... Chang'er, I want you to return to Yan Yuefu temporarily and endure it for a while. I have to do something. Then you can bring me two things to Beiguangwu, which is also a treat for the audience. If you succeed, you will not have to worry about the rest of your life."
The eldest daughter was stunned and showed a look of hesitation.
She really didn't want to go back. But she knew even more that if Baili Shu didn't help her, she wouldn't be able to escape at all.
Patience... Although she had to go back to the devil's cave, she finally had hope. It was better than before that she had no hope in the devil's cave.
"Father, the eldest son listens to you!"
Baili Shu said: "After you go back, you must try to be patient and not reveal any flaws. Also, you must try to inquire about Yan Le's movements. Every noon, I will let Lao Baili stay in Ximenpu and Dulingchun Restaurant for an hour, and you can tell him the news."
After hearing this, the eldest daughter nodded vigorously.
He comforted his eldest daughter for a while, and Baili Shu asked Lao Cangtou to send her away.
He walked back and forth alone in the study, as if he was considering something important...
"One side is Guangwu Jun, the other side is Gongziying... Well, the sky in Xianyang will change sooner or later, so I will just bet on him once!"
Baili Shu murmured to himself and made up his mind.
After inspecting Shenmu Pass, Liu Kan and Guan Ying separated.
At the next stop, Liu Kan wanted to cross the river north, go to Yunzhong to inspect, and then head south into Yanmen County. Zhonglimei had already attacked Yanmen and occupied the area north of Gouzhu Mountain. As Liu Kan and others predicted, after Wang Li's defeat, the Yanmen County garrison suddenly lost its backbone and was panicked. Coupled with the news from Yunzhong, the Qin army stationed in garrison clearly realized that the base in the rear had been lost.
Where to go?
Under such panic, Zhongli Mei led 6,000 infantry troops to march straight in, and encountered almost no strong resistance along the way, so she successfully captured Yanmen County. After occupying Yanmen County, Zhongli Mei did not advance. Following Liu Kan's instructions, he quickly built a pass in Gouzhushan and gained a firm foothold.
Zhao State General Sima Sue tried to attack Gouzhushan, but after several failed strong attacks, he retreated obediently.
Zhonglimei did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the battle, but continued to defend Gouzhu Mountain. At the same time, Li Cheng quickly dispatched officials to take control of Yanmen County.
At the same time, Lu Jia arrived in Zhuo County and convinced Chen Yu.
The reason why Chen Yu agreed to give up the Hengshan County Pass was, on the one hand, because the Qin army, which was under the jurisdiction of Shujian, did not suffer losses and had extremely strong combat power. If it was forcibly blocked, the result would be... Chen Yu would definitely not be willing to do a loss-making business; on the other hand, Chen Yu also needed a stable situation within him. Especially under the aggressive Chu army, his former teachers and friends turned against each other, and Chen Yu urgently needed an ally.
Liu Kan can be considered an ally.
And this third point is that Chen Yu is preparing to re-establish King Zhao.
He found the orphan of the royal family of Zhao Kingdom, Zhao Xie, and planned to re-establish Zhao Kingdom in the name of Zhao Xie. Chen Yu was also a man of destiny. The reason why he did this was to eliminate the hostility of the Chu army. Do you think I am the destiny of heaven? Well, I will re-establish Zhao Kingdom.
Now that you can't say that I am the destiny of heaven again!
But does this destiny have any impact on Chen Yu? Everyone knows it very well. Zhao Xie is just a cover. After Chen Yu has gained a firm foothold and stabilized the situation, he will definitely pull out this destiny again. If he doesn't do destiny now, it's just that the time is not ripe.
In short, no matter what Chen Yu thought, this path has been made.
Kuai Che's letter was quickly delivered to Liu Kan. After Liu Kan read it, she was not happy, but she was a little worried!
To be continued...
