Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Chapter 79 Adding insult to injury

Name: Lao Ai.

Sex: Male.

Identity: Eunuch.

Title: Marquis of Changxin.

Lao Ai was once a guest in Lu Buwei's mansion. She was born with special abilities and was recommended by Lu Buwei to be offered to Zhao Ji. Although he was a eunuch on the surface in the harem, he was actually the favorite of Zhao Ji.

Lao Ai had three major achievements in her life.

One is the innate ability to perform the 'wheel-turning art'.

The second is to put a green hat on the father of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng.

The third is rebellion.

In fact, although there is no substantial evidence of Lao Ai and Zhao Ji's adultery in the harem, in fact, the entire Qin State's senior officials have heard about it.

Of course, he couldn't escape the ears of King Qin Yingzheng.

It's just that no matter whether it was King Qin Yingzheng, the royal family, or the officials of the Qin State, they turned a blind eye to this matter.

After all, in the final analysis of this matter, at most, Zhao Ji, as the Queen Mother, has a bad moral character. If it is bigger, it will slightly damage the face of the Qin royal family.

No one would insist on making the Queen Mother unhappy because of such a trivial matter.

But no one thought that just putting a hat on King Qin Zhuangxiang was not enough. Lao Ai and Zhao Ji actually secretly did another big thing.

These two people secretly gave birth to two brothers for Ying Zheng.

And it was reported.

Now the nature of the matter has completely changed.

As the biological mother of King Qin, when King Qin Zhuangxiang passed away, it was the year of tiger and wolf. In addition, living in the harem for a long time is unbearably lonely, so everyone can understand if she does some ridiculous things.

Even Ying Zheng couldn't blame Zhao Ji for this matter. After all, she was his biological mother. Since ancient times, how could any son accuse his mother of something she wasn't?

But what does it mean for you two to give birth to two brothers for the current King of Qin?

Rebellion?

The biggest force behind the royal family is the Ying clan.

These people did not come out to interfere with anything when Chang'an Jun Chengxu rebelled.

Because to them, both Ying Zheng and Cheng Xi are the orthodox Ying bloodline. No matter who wins or loses in the fight between these two people, as long as they can ensure that the throne falls into the hands of the Ying bloodline.

But now you, a mere Lao Ai, dare to give birth to two 'royals' with different surnames from Zhao Ji. This has undoubtedly violated the bottom line of the Ying clan.

Lao Ai and Zhao Ji obviously knew the consequences of this incident.

It can be said.

After this incident was revealed, it no longer mattered whether Zhao Ji and Lao Ai had any other thoughts, because as long as there were some signs of something happening, Ying Zheng and the Ying clan must kill it completely. .

What's more, when she gave birth to these two children, Lao Ai did have some wishful thinking of "taking over the magpie's nest".

So when this incident broke out, Lao Ai acted extremely decisively. He directly stole the imperial seal of Queen Mother Zhao Ji, and launched a mutiny with his party members in the palace to seize Qinian Palace, where Ying Zheng lived. ".

However, King Qin had already secretly received the news and sent Lord Changping and Lord Changwen to ambush in Xianyang Palace.

The ending after that is naturally self-evident.

Hundreds of soldiers led by Lao Ai were eliminated by Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, and some of the Jianghu disciples he had secretly taken under his command over the years were also easily killed by Gai Nie with one sword.

However, Lao Ai seemed to have already prepared a retreat. After his mutiny failed, he immediately followed the remaining members of his party and quietly escaped from Xianyang.

King Qin was naturally furious.

Directly announce a huge reward, and anyone who captures Lao Ai alive will be rewarded with millions of dollars. If you kill him, you will be rewarded with a reward of 500,000 yuan.

As soon as this reward order was issued, countless people in the world immediately took notice and began to track Lao Ai's whereabouts.

But among all the people being tracked, who is the most anxious person is undoubtedly the 'Snake'.

Qin's laws implemented the joint sitting system.

Lao Ai was recommended to Zhao Ji by Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei probably never thought that one day he would be implicated like this by Lao Ai. Whenever Lao Ai's offense was minor this time, Lu Buwei could find a way to reduce the major issue to a minor one and slowly calm things down.

But the problem is that this time Lao Ai caused too much trouble, and rebellion is already a major crime for the Yi tribe. And this idiot not only wants to rebel, but also wants to use the blood of a different surname to completely subvert the rule of the entire Ying surname clan.

Lu Buwei is indeed not afraid of Ying Zheng now, but this does not mean that he does not even look down on the Ying clan members behind Ying Zheng!

The only good thing is that Lao Ai was secretly recommended to Zhao Ji by Lu Buwei, so as long as Zhao Ji can be silenced and Lao Ai is eradicated, Ying Zheng will not be able to find any substantive evidence. .

Although this does not completely put aside the connection between him and Lao Ai.

But at least in the absence of conclusive evidence, Lu Buwei can still leave a glimmer of hope for a comeback.

"Sir, news just came back from Xiong Da that the Ninth Young Master of South Korea has agreed to cooperate with us."

In the back garden, Mo Jun was grooming the golden roc bird. Today's Jinpengniao may really be as Yao Gui guessed, and his bloodline has returned to his ancestors.

During this period, not only did his body grow at an alarmingly fast rate, but his bright golden feathers were even more gorgeous. If it continues to grow at this rate, it may not be long before Jinpeng can carry people on flights.

"Well! Tell Xiong Da not to pay too much attention to making money. Now his primary goal is to expand channels as much as possible."

"I understand."

Zhan Qin nodded and responded.

During the recent period, Mr. Mo has been providing five thousand [Qingtian Pills] to the four major clans every month, and the current price of Qingtian Pills on the market is one gold coin or two.

So every month, the four major clans will give Lord Mo a share of 1,250 gold coins.

There seems to be no problem with this split.

However, in fact, not much of the [Qingtian Pill] provided by Lord Mo to the four major clans has been put on the market for sale.

Now, the four major clans give their monthly share to Mo Jun according to the standard price, but privately, the four major clans have begun to sell [Qingtian Pill] at one gold coin per piece, or even higher prices. Black goods.

This has obviously violated the original contract between the two parties.

However, Mr. Mo was not too angry. After all, from the beginning, he did not believe that the other party would really fulfill the agreement. After all, it is more reliable to rely on a businessman's credibility than to consider when the sun will rise from the west.

not to mention.

The other party can sell illegal goods, and you can also sell them, and you can sell more.

The money before was earned by Mo Jun for Ying Zheng, but from now on, Mo Jun can use [Qingtian Pill] to make money for himself.

The reputation of [Qingtian Pill] has already been made famous by the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, so now as long as Mo Jun has enough shipping channels, he can easily sell [Qingtian Pill] without even publicity.

Mr. Mo was even able to engage in a price war and in turn eat up the Sifang Chamber of Commerce's market in one fell swoop.

After all, so far, the prescription of [Qingtian Pill] is still in Mo Jun's hands. Although the four major clans also sent many people to sneak into the county governor's mansion during this period to steal the elixir, these people have now become medicine ghosts and arranged in the 'Ten Thousand Poison Array' outside the medicine garden. Those highly poisonous food rations.

Of course.

If you want to take over the Sifang Chamber of Commerce's market, you can't do it now, or it can't be done.

After all, commercial methods are only part of doing business. The true heritage of a chamber of commerce mainly depends on the background behind them.

"By the way, sir, there is also news from seniors Black Feather and Sword."

"Oh? What news."

Hearing Zhan Qin mention Hei Yu and Jian Jiuyuan, Mo Jun also turned around immediately.

Mr. Mo has never been a generous person, on the contrary, he is stingy and very vindictive.

So as soon as he got the news about Lao Ai's rebellion and Luo Wang sending people to kill him, he quickly guessed what Lu Buwei was thinking, so he decisively sent both Hei Yu and Jian Jiuyuan out. Others are just to add more obstacles to the 'net'.

Tit for tat.

Lu Buwei secretly gave Mr. Mo a blow in the first place. How could Mr. Mo let go of such a good opportunity to add insult to injury?

"According to the news sent back by Kuroyu, it seems that Lao Ai and his party..."

Halfway through, Zhan Qin's eyes showed a strange look, and then he continued: "He is escaping towards where Nanjun is."

"Um?"

Mo Jun turned his head, looked at Zhan Qin in surprise, and said, "Is the news correct?"

Zhan Qin nodded and said: "The news is correct. In fact, I also received some news not long ago. About a day ago, there was another turmoil in the world of Nanjun."

"Originally, I thought they were going to do harm to you again, but now it seems that these people probably took this action to round up Lao Ai."

After hearing this, Lord Mo only thought for a second and then decisively ordered: "Zhan Qin, immediately mobilize three hundred soldiers to follow me out of the house."

Dragon King Mountain.

This is a low mountain about 20 miles away from Yingdu. It is said that someone once saw a dragon in this mountain, so the locals named the mountain "Dragon King Mountain".

At the foot of Dragon King Mountain, a carriage was speeding. There was a person sitting in the carriage. His face was fair and beardless, his eyebrows were handsome, but his temperament was a bit strange. He seemed feminine, but yet masculine.

This person is none other than the former Qin State Chang Xinhou, and now the Qin State's most wanted criminal - Lao Ai.

Lao Ai, who was sitting in the carriage, looked frightened and flustered. From time to time, she stretched out her head and looked behind her.

Lao Ai was not afraid of Qin's pursuers.

But as a former diner of Lu Buwei's family, he knew the horror of Lu Buwei and the 'net' better than anyone else.

In the past, he had the identity of Qin's Chang Xinhou and Zhao Ji as his backing, so Lao Aicai was not afraid of Lu Buwei, and even dared to protest with Lu Buwei in the court.

But now that he has lost these two backgrounds, even though Lao Ai has gathered many retainers and staff over the years by virtue of his status as Chang Xinhou, he is still full of fear of the terrifying organization "Luo Wang".

"Quick, faster!"

Lao Ai kept urging in the carriage, but under his urging, the carriage not only did not speed up, but gradually slowed down, until it finally stopped completely.

Such a situation immediately made Lao Ai shocked and angry. She couldn't help but give out a sharp reprimand, saying: "What's going on? Why did the carriage stop? Come to me..."

The words were just half spoken.

Lao Ai's voice stopped suddenly like a duck whose neck was stuck.

And his expression changed from frightened and angry at the beginning to full of fear.

In front of him, a figure wearing black armor appeared in front of the carriage at some point. This figure was holding a long sword that was completely red but had a strange shape. After he appeared, the original sky suddenly turned red, and the blood-colored aura seemed to block even the sun in the sky.

The driver of the car fell on the shaft of the carriage, and three or four corpses also fell at the feet of the black-armored figure. Those martial arts masters who were capable of conquering Lao Ai could not even make a single move under the sword of this black-armored figure. Push through.

"The first word of heaven is to cover the sun."

Lao Ai almost trembled her lips as she spat out these six words.

And just as he finished speaking these six words, suddenly, he heard a scream coming from a tree not far away. Lao Ai turned around and saw a figure falling from the tree.

And where the figure originally stood, a figure wearing black clothing and holding two long swords, one black and one white, slowly appeared in Lao Ai's field of vision.

Seeing this person, Lao Ai's pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of despair once again appeared on her face, which was already filled with fear.

"You, Luowang, really take notice of me. You actually dispatched two first-level assassins at the same time."

"Lao Ai, your journey ends here."

Zhan Ri in front of the carriage obviously had no intention of talking nonsense with Lao Ai. He dropped a word, then his figure flashed and he slashed towards Lao Ai with his sword.

Face this sword.

Although Lao Ai also practiced some martial arts, his main purpose of practicing martial arts was to make his body stronger.

So when faced with the sword that covered the sun, Lao Ai's eyes could barely keep up with the speed, but her body had no time to react. She could only watch in despair and horror as the sword fell towards her neck.

Ding!

Just when Lao Ai was about to separate the head, a black feather suddenly shot out, and with a 'ding' sound, the falling trajectory of the Sun-Concealing Sword was instantly disrupted.

"who?"

Zhan Ri's eyes changed and he quickly turned around.

What greeted him was the sword light emanating from a long sword with sword patterns like flowing water and a clear blue crystal all over its body. The sword's sword intention was so strong and its sword energy was so domineering that Zhan Ri's pupils shrank in an instant.

clang!

Zhanri hurriedly raised his sword to defend, and the two swords collided, causing a loud roar.

The duel between masters is inherently slow at one step and slow at every step. Although Yan Yan blocked this sword in panic, the opportunity was lost. In just a moment, more than a dozen sword lights followed immediately.

The black armor, which could only be worn by the elite soldiers of the Qin State, was cut open as easily as tofu by the sharp edge of the sword. In the blink of an eye, there were seven or eight more wounds on Zhi Ri's body.

Until the round of attacks is over.

Only after covering the sun did he finally have a chance to distance himself, but at this time his face under the mask had turned livid.

The only pair of eyes exposed under the sun-shielding mask stared at the one-armed figure that suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and finally uttered a few words one by one: "Gongbu - Jian Jiuyuan."
