Legends in Chu and Han - C282
After a while of arranging, Long Tianyu assigned the duties to the swordsmen, including which hand gestures to attack and which to kill, and after demonstrating, he left the hundred over swordsmen in hiding in the Inner Palace, unable to take a step outside of the palace, lest it be discovered by Zhao Gao’s eyes and ears, the confidential work was done extremely well.
Perhaps tonight was the night before he succeeded, or perhaps it was the night before he and the Qin Nation would perish together. Because if Zhao Gao could not be killed, Zhao Gao would not let him go, nor would he let all the disciples of the Ying Family escape.
Zi Ying returned to the rear palace and laid on the dragon’s bed, tossing and turning. He then ordered his beloved concubines to dance and sing at the Joy Palace Palace.
Long Tianyu made a gesture and extinguished the excess lights in the inner hall. Each of them hid in the darkness and made their pre-battle resting and hunting preparations. More than ten super swordsmen, more than twenty one second-rate swordsman, and a few dozen of the dragon army’s most powerful elite soldier.
Yi Yi Yi was dressed as a man and wore a black cape as she leaned on Long Tianyu’s side. Although it was already late in the night, she was not tired of it as she stared at Long Tianyu, thinking that if she did not meet him, she might still be running around in her dream to revive the Yan Nation. She might have been surrounded by the Qin Army, or maybe she was supporting herself with her own willpower.
Long Tianyu stretched out his arm to stop Yi Yi from sticking onto his chest. Life was like a dream, but wasn’t all of this like a dream to him? Zhao Gao, Zi Ying, and Qin Palace were just passersby in his dreams, there was no meaning to it; only the lovely wife by his side was able to let him feel the existence of life.
Xue Mengyi’s eyes turned clever as she observed the Emperor’s Palace. She whispered into Tian Yu’s ear, “In the future, you will also live in this kind of palace, will you become like the kings in the past, obsessed with singing and dancing?”
Long Tianyu did not expect her to ask that. He replied quietly, “Of course not, do you think that your husband is the kind of person who only knows how to enjoy life and is heartless? I will be satisfied with having you sisters, and there’s no need to choose any of the seventy-two concubines or three thousand beauties from the Three Palaces and Six Palaces! ”
Yi Yi’s face was slightly red. She couldn’t help but laugh and said in a low voice, “Alright, you said it yourself. There are so many women in this world. Don’t regret it when the time comes!”
Long Tianyu shook his head and laughed: “Of course I don’t regret it. There are a few famous girls and mistresses in the world, I am willing to bring them all into the Long family. Hehe, leave the rest to the people, so that they won’t say that I, Long Tianyu, am too greedy.”
Yi Yi pursed her lips, ignoring him, and continued, “Oh right, I forgot to tell my husband’s true name, Xue Mengyi is my stage name, the sound came from my name. Actually, I’m called Xue Mengyi, and I only changed my stage name after joining the Gongzi Group.”
“Xue Mengyi? So your last name is Shay? What is your brother Zang Tu’s surname? ” Long Tianyu asked curiously.
Yi Yi Yi pursed her lips and smiled, “Of course he’s surnamed Zhang, he’s not my brother, I’m an orphan adopted by his parents. I was only five years old that year, but he took care of me, I’ve always treated him as my brother.”
Long Tianyu unwittingly gained a deeper understanding of Yi Yi’s character. A burst of tender love filled his heart, as his arms tightly embraced the beauty’s back, and leaned into his embrace …
That night, the swordsmen were speechless. The entire palace was deathly silent.
The imperial kitchens, the palace and the eunuchs’ courtyard were all busy with their own tasks. The palace guards began to change shifts, and only the imperial guards began to secretly move their own positions. Because they had made preparations beforehand, their actions were not very obvious.
Qinwangzi baby ate breakfast, took a bath, changed into a new Nine Dragon Pearl Curtain cap and dragon robe, then majestically entered the main hall. This was when King of Qin didn’t have the morning assembly, he would come to the inner hall to review reports and receive personal interviews with ministers.
Long Tianyu and the others had already used some pastries long ago to hide, but it was as if these swordsmen did not exist in the Inner Palace, making it impossible for them to sense their presence. It could be seen that their stealth skills were very good, not one bit inferior to black net, where assassins could hide and ambush.
Zi Ying nodded his head and began to carry out his plan. He sent his most trusted eunuch to call Zhao Gao to enter the Inner Palace to discuss about how to guard the Xianyang against the rebel army.
After the head eunuch left the palace, Zi Ying’s mind was in turmoil, “The current situation is as if an arrow being shot at a bow, to the point that it has to happen. What if Zhao Gao does not come, or if he requests for it to be changed to the main hall? Then I will excuse myself being sick, and no matter what, I will lure Zhao Gao here! What if he didn’t succeed and let him escape instead? Wang Ling and his son, the Sima Clan and the Old Qin Clan’s army, as well as the Swift Assistance Division, and the imperial guards of the Forbidden Palace, are more than enough to fight a bloody battle with the Zhao Clan. ”
This period of time was very long, even the swordsmen hiding in every corner and ambushing area were getting nervous. This battle was extremely important, “Hoo ~ ~” Everyone didn’t dare breathe too loudly, waiting for their prey to advance.
Suddenly, the guards outside shouted and broke the silence of the palace.
“Prime minister Zhao Gao is admonishing the king…”
Zi Ying sat upright and with a cold gaze, he suppressed his impatience and nervousness and tried his best to maintain his calm tone: “I agree!”
The officials at the entrance of the inner palace immediately called out, “Prime Minister Zhao, please enter the hall for your discussion.”
“Creak ~ ~” The door of the inner hall was opened, and a bright ray of sunlight shone into the inner hall. Under the morning sunlight, a tall and thin figure stepped into the hall, he was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe with a green grandmother jade ring on his waist, and the dragon pearl in the middle was even bigger than the one on the King of Qin’s crown, showing how arrogant and despotic he was, completely ignoring the King of Qin. This person was the current Prime Minister Zhao Gao.
He walked deep into two rows of guards, each row of four people, dressed in similar attire, all of them in fine silk warrior uniforms, gold and jade as usual, each of them holding a sword. Although the style, size and weight of the swords were different, but there was one thing in common, they were all killing swords, emitting a chilling aura, their eyes were like sword Qis, similarly able to kill people.
The eight of them were the eight first-rate swordsmen selected from the internal network of the [black net] organization. They entered and exited the palace, alleyway, and no matter where they went, they protected and guarded them closely, and they were named Zhao Dong, Zhao Xi, Zhao Nan, Zhao Bei, Zhao Feng, Zhao Huo, Zhao Lei, and Zhao Lei. They were the eight ultimate swordsmen selected from various places in the past few years.
“Tap ~ ~” After the door closed, Zhao Gao sat on the first seat on the Dragon Throne without a hint of politeness. Without waiting for Zi Ying to speak, he spoke first: “Zi Ying, I heard that there are two hundred thousand people on the way from the Xianyang City that have accumulated two hundred thousand people, and they have respectively gone to the Hangu Pass and the Wuguan. Looks like we can’t keep the Xianyang anymore, we only have two plans now, one is for you to surrender and give up the throne, and let the other few cities continue enjoying their wealth with us.
Qinwangzi baby suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter was filled with anger, emotion, excitement and sorrow, making Zhao Gao unable to make heads or tails of it. He stopped laughing and slapped his hand on the table in front of him heavily, sneering: “I think there is no need, first we will cut off all the bodies of the sinner from Qin Dynasty, then we can make peace with the allied army!”
