Chapter 127: Lao Ai, You Have Made It
In the third move, the internal energy of Gongsun Ce surged, and the Tianwen Sword instantly turned into a pool of cold autumn water.
This sword move is so chilling that wherever the sword energy passes, it feels as if a chill is passing through.
In the fourth move, when Gongsun Ce swung his sword, it was like a raging fire, full of aggression.
When performing this sword technique that spans all four directions, Gongsun Ce's five virtues master's spirit emerged. As his sword moves changed, the four spirits of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom matched the four styles and amplified them.
The silver-white light enveloped his entire body, as if it was transformed from his sword energy, or as if it was condensed from his master's intention.
Under the shining of this light, Gongsun Ce's aura was undoubtedly revealed.
The four moves change so quickly that it almost happens in an instant.
"Hiss! Wrong!"
After a move that spanned all four directions, Gongsun Ce realized his mistake.
Wind, thunder, water, fire
What is the inevitable connection between these four changes?
Earth, Fire, Water, Wind
Spring Summer Autumn Winter
Taiyin, Taiyang, Shaoyin, Shaoyang...
This is what is called a matching combination. Gongsun Ce carefully recalled the sword manual but did not find any problems.
At this time, the Great God of Destiny was carrying a few hares and a deer.
After Gongsun Ce finished eating, he gave the leftovers to Da Siming to deal with.
Da Siming needs to eat to maintain his daily consumption. He is in a half-human and half-Deadpool state, but he will not run out to eat people.
Since Gongsun Ce returned to Xianyang, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was already the end of March of the following year.
According to Lu Buwei's promise, in a few days Ying Zheng would go to Yongdi to be crowned.
Gongsun Ce was basking in the sun in the backyard of the Taiwei Mansion when Zi Nu and Madam Mingzhu came together.
Gongsun Ce raised his head and looked at the two women. "All the men have been dispersed. How many Iron Eagle Warriors does Lao Ai have around him now?"
Zi Nu replied to Gongsun Ce, "Nearly 50% are Iron Eagle Warriors."
Madam Mingzhu then added, "The maids serving Queen Dowager Zhao in the Yongdi Palace are also being gradually replaced. It's just that Queen Dowager Zhao and Lao Ai jointly control part of Luowang's power.
The plan to replace the maid was not ideal, and it was said that Lao Ai had a very difficult time dealing with the Queen Mother Zhao, so..."
The corners of Gongsun Ce's mouth twitched. He didn't realize that Zhao Ji was so strong that even the King Lao Ai almost couldn't withstand her.
The fact that Zhao Ji was able to prevent the Wheel-Turning King Lao Ai from looking for other women shows that she had almost drained away Lao Ai's yang energy.
Gongsun Ce suddenly became curious about how Lu Buwei and Qin Yiren had dealt with Zhao Ji in the first place?
Relying on the bronze ox?
However, Lao Ai was indeed extremely stupid. He never carefully screened the guests he accepted.
Ying Zheng handed over the five hundred Iron Eagle Warriors to Gongsun Ce and implemented the plan to replace Lao Ai's retainers.
Therefore, the new retainers that Lao Ai had recently recruited were all Iron Eagle Warriors in disguise.
As for the retainers he had previously recruited, most of them were replaced.
In total, half of the manpower around Lao Ai has been controlled by Gongsun Ce.
As for the maids in Yongdi, some of them were also replaced.
It can be said that the recent actions of Lao Ai and Zhao Ji are completely under the control of Gongsun Ce.
The defender of Yongdi was now replaced by Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian.
Eliminate the possibility that the garrison in Yong was mobilized by Zhao Ji's phoenix seal and the garrison general was bribed by Lao Ai.
Lao Ai's ambition became a joke at this moment.
Gongsun Ce felt that when everything was revealed one day, Lao Ai would go crazy.
He and his retainers are closely connected, and his retainers regard him as a performance.
Madam Mingzhu suddenly smiled charmingly, "Mr. Gongsun, do you have a reward for us?"
Word Spirit: Eyes of the Wind King
When Gongsun Ce raised his hand, a breeze lifted Madam Mingzhu up and floated in the air. The next moment, Madam Mingzhu fell into Gongsun Ce's arms. "Yes, it depends on whether you are bold enough."
Madam Mingzhu's eyes flickered, "I am a very timid person, but I like rewards, um~"
Without waiting for Madam Mingzhu to say more, Gongsun Ce sealed Madam Mingzhu's lips, blocking all her words.
Zi Nu on the side gritted her teeth and walked to Gongsun Ce, "We are still outside the house, let's, hmm~"
Before Zi Nu finished her exhortation, Madam Mingzhu's pretty face broke free from Gongsun Ce's restraints and moved closer to Zi Nu's pretty face.
The affection between the two women made Gongsun Ce feel a little restless.
Gongsun Ce leaned close to Zi Nu's ear and said, "The reward is here."
Zi Nu couldn't help but widen her eyes and uttered some unclear words.
Gongsun Ce judged what she meant: Go inside, is this place still outside? No! Absolutely not!
The golden sun sets in the west, the night grows darker, and the garrison camp in Yongdi is large.
Lao Ai entered the central army tent silently. Wang Ben, who was wearing the face of the former defending general, looked at Lao Ai in front of him and suddenly felt that Ying Zheng and Gongsun Ce were making a fuss out of nothing.
Discussing major plans in the military camp?
Lao Ai smiled gently at Wang Ben, who had changed his appearance, and said, "General, why are you so surprised? I had a great time feasting with you here before. Have you forgotten?"
Wang Ben acted in a difficult manner and threw out a bombshell at the right time, "Marquis Changxin, to be honest, the king has been ordered by the higher-ups to go to Yong to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth soon.
I really can’t drink alcohol these days. If I’m caught, I’m afraid my life will be in danger.”
Lao Ai rolled his eyes and said, "I have heard that in addition to the tiger seal, the phoenix seal can also mobilize the troops in Yongdi. I wonder if it is true?"
Wang Ben, pretending to be the garrison commander of Yongdi, did not deny it. "That's true, but the garrison of Yongdi is extremely important. Even with the Phoenix Seal, once the garrison is mobilized, I'm afraid the follow-up will be..."
When Lao Ai heard Wang Ben's words, he immediately felt that his think tank (the centurion of the Iron Eagle Warrior) was right. The Yongdi garrison commander might have already intended to side with him. He just needed a life-saving object and enough benefits.
The Phoenix Seal can ensure that his family will not be harmed, and sufficient benefits can make him completely side with him.
"What do you think this is?"
Lao Ai took out a large seal from his bosom. Wang Ben was shocked when he saw it. "Could it be that the Queen Mother of Zhao?"
Lao Ai played with the phoenix seal in his hand, his expression suddenly became somewhat unfathomable, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't know what you shouldn't know.
You just need to know that the king is offering sacrifices to the heavens, and there are villains hiding in secret. We are going to serve the king and to protect him."
Wang Ben listened to Lao Ai's words and wanted to say: Lao Ai, you have made great progress.
Lao Ai came as soon as he said so, with such a righteous look and the look of being the vanguard of the king. If Wang Ben did not know what kind of person Lao Ai was, he would probably have believed it.
After leaving the central army tent, Lao Ai was full of pride, except that he looked a little embarrassed as he held his waist.
Wang Ben had a subtle expression. As a middle-aged man with grown-up sons, Wang Ben naturally understood why Lao Ai covered his waist.
Zhao Ji is so terrifying!
The scandal between Zhao Ji and Lao Ai could not be hidden from the upper class. Even Ying Zheng, who seemed to know nothing, knew it well.
Lao Ai’s plan was actually very simple. The garrison in Yongdi blocked the outer army that might come to assist Ying Zheng.
It was impossible for Ying Zheng, who was offering sacrifices to his ancestors, to bring too many people into the Ying clan ancestral temple. This was Lao Ai's opportunity.
Each of Lao Ai's thousands of followers, with a sword, was enough to chop the ignorant Ying Zheng into pieces.
Soon, Lao Ai's general plan was passed on to Gongsun Ce and then to Ying Zheng.
However, the information that Gongsun Ce handed to Ying Zheng also included a plan - a plan to annihilate the Grand Masters.
When Ying Zheng saw the information, his expression suddenly changed.
I missed her so much that I couldn't believe it, and I went from being so disbelieving to being angry. Finally, I started laughing out of anger, "Hahahaha, hahahaha..."
(`)→(_)→(▼益▼)→
(ˊˋ)
His mind began to recall the scenes when he and Zhao Ji depended on each other in Zhao State.
Then came the depression after returning home, followed by the joy of being in power. Until this moment, the two words "Phoenix Seal" in the intelligence deeply hurt his eyes.
Lao Ai even got the Phoenix Seal, which is enough to prove that Zhao Ji supported the idiot Lao Ai and wanted to kill him!
The previous mother-son relationship suddenly disappeared, and Ying Zheng closed his eyes and tried his best to suppress the anger and sadness in his heart.
He still had important things to do, so Ying Zheng then picked up Gongsun Ce's Grandmaster Annihilation Plan and looked through it.
The plan was simple, consisting of only a few words: A Zheng set up a trap with himself, lured the six great masters into the trap, and then captured them all in one fell swoop.
"Mr. Wei Liao, please show yourself."
Wei Liao, who had been hiding in the dark to protect Ying Zheng, suddenly appeared.
Ying Zheng handed the Grand Master's annihilation plan to Wei Liao for him to look at.
After reading it, Wei Liao had a complicated expression. The confidence revealed in Gongsun Ce's short sentence made Wei Liao dumbfounded.
It seemed that in Gongsun Ce's eyes, these great masters who guarded the country were just fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by Gongsun Ce.
However, based on Wei Liao's brief understanding of Gongsun Ce, Gongsun Ce is not a person who acts without purpose.
Therefore, perhaps Gongsun Ce, who is only at the Grandmaster level, can really suppress the great Grandmaster, or even suppress several at a time.
Wei Liao couldn't help but remain silent for a moment to calm down the shock brought to him by the news.
"Your Majesty, based on my understanding of General Gongsun, I'm afraid he is sure of this."
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and then asked Wei Liao, "Mr. Wei Liao, if you and Guannei Hou take action, can you guarantee my safety?"
Wei Liao nodded, "If I join forces with Guannei Hou to protect the king's safety, it will naturally not be difficult."
Ying Zheng nodded, "Okay, in that case, let's start planning!"
These grand masters are also one of the obstacles to the destruction of the six kingdoms. It would naturally be a good thing if these grand masters could be eliminated in advance.
As the time came to the third day of April, Ying Zheng officially prepared to go to Yongdi to complete the sacrifice to God and then complete the ceremony of coming of age.
As an important minister, Lu Buwei should have accompanied Ying Zheng to Yongdi and waited outside the Ying clan ancestral hall.
But Lu Buwei claimed to be sick and stayed at home.
At this time in Lu's Mansion, Lu Buwei looked at the information in his hand with a gloomy face.
"Idiot! What on earth does Lao Ai want to do! Isn't the title of Marquis of Changxin enough? Isn't it enough that the Queen Mother gave birth to a child for him?
Does he still want to be the king of Qin? Is he crazy? "
Lu Buwei suddenly became anxious in the study, like an ant on hot pan.
He is no longer the Lu Buwei who had the courage to invest in Qin Yiren when he was young.
He is old and has long lost the composure of his youth.
He is afraid!
Afraid that Lao Ai would succeed, he would then settle accounts with him!
It also caused Lao Ai to fail, which led to his being implicated.
The more people get, the more they fear losing it.
When you don't have it, you have nothing to fear.
Gongsun Ce, one of Ying Zheng's important ministers, was preparing to leave the Taiwei Mansion at this time.
