Chapter 29 [Tryst with Palace Maid and Guards]
When Fan Jianlao was getting stronger and was exercising his muscles and bones, in the palace, Emperor Qing was still refining his arrows.
From time to time in the imperial study room, the sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" could be heard.
Every hammer blow is extremely powerful.
If there is a master forging here, he will definitely be surprised by the precision and control of his power.
Emperor Qing wanted to create a sword with extremely strong penetrating power.
As for how powerful this arrow is...
In the royal study, there is a piece of armor, and at the heart of the armor, there is a breast shield.
The arrows he needs must be able to penetrate the breastplate and at the same time, penetrate the armor.
in order to meet his requirements.
As for what the majestic emperor needs such a powerful arrow to do, perhaps only he himself has thought of this.
Even Eunuch Hou, who has been by his side all year round, knows nothing about this.
After a long time in the world, he didn't take it seriously and just regarded it as a hobby of the emperor.
After all, which emperor doesn't have some hobbies?
Some emperors loved women, so they slept with different concubines every day. They had a harem of three thousand, and they changed them every day.
Some emperors only loved other people's wives.
But some emperors loved their elder brothers, sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law the most.
There are countless weird things like this.
It is very rare among emperors to be as fond of a craft as Emperor Qing is.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Danzhou."
Eunuch Hou's voice sounded outside the imperial study room.
Inside the house, Emperor Qing quietly completed all the assembling, drew his bow, set an arrow, took aim, and said:
"Come in."
The sound is calm and does not affect the strength at all.
Holding the intelligence that had just been sent to him, Eunuch Hou entered the royal study room with his head lowered, taking the small steps reserved for eunuchs.
However, after entering the house, he seemed to feel something in his heart. He raised his head slightly and saw Emperor Qing's hand curled with a full moon, aiming in his direction.
At that moment, he was so frightened that he stopped there and did not dare to step forward.
He didn't dare to step back even half an inch.
My legs were a bit uncontrollable and I couldn't stop shaking.
This old eunuch was used to the intrigues and intrigues in the palace, where life and death could be seen everywhere, and he felt like a mirror.
For emperors, sometimes there is no need for any reason at all to kill someone.
Kill, just kill.
Maybe one moment, the two of them were chatting and laughing, but the next second, they could order their execution.
In the imperial family and palace, this kind of thing is not new.
Obviously, at this moment, Eunuch Hou is about to receive such sad news of his death.
Time seems to be forbidden at this moment.
Outside the imperial study room, the sound of wind and whistling could occasionally be heard.
However, at this moment, in Eunuch Hou's ears, in his soul, and in his subconscious, he was waiting for the slight trembling sound of the arrow at the moment when the bow and arrow was shot under the full moon.
For a moment, it seemed like a thousand years had passed.
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
In his fear, the old eunuch even forgot to beg for mercy. He may have screamed countless times in his heart, but in fact, he could not utter a word.
No one knows better than him the iron-blooded killing of the emperor in front of him.
Even if he is a blood relative, this Ninth Five-Year Supreme Master will not hesitate to swing his butcher knife when necessary.
Finally, with a slight sound of arrows and a sound of "dang", all the energy and energy in Eunuch Hou's body seemed to be exhausted at that moment.
Weak and fell to the ground.
Emperor Qing didn't seem to notice Eunuch Hou's series of reactions. He didn't say a word and just sighed softly.
Because, it failed again.
Putting down the bow and arrow in his hand, he slowly sat down, without even looking at the almost weak old eunuch, and just asked calmly:
"What's the matter?"
Eunuch Hou did not dare to delay, and hurriedly put away the fear in his heart and the joy of being at the gate of hell. He took the information in his hand and stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, news from Danzhou about Mr. Fan..."
Then, he made a report on all the recent events in Danzhou, almost in detail.
Emperor Qing just listened quietly, never asking questions or saying anything.
By the time the old eunuch finished reading, he had already completed two memorials for review.
The old eunuch is used to it.
Because, he discovered that His Majesty the Emperor liked to read the memorials while listening to the news about Mr. Fan in Danzhou.
After the report, the old eunuch did not leave, nor did he dare to interrupt by speaking suddenly. He just stood aside and waited quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, the old eunuch's feet even became numb, and Emperor Qing finally put down his pen.
He picked up the candied fruit next to him, took a sip, and seemed to be talking to himself. It seemed that because there was no third person here, let's just listen to the old lady:
"Kill the housekeeper, punish the scum, and get rid of the pirates. Now this kid has gained some reputation in Danzhou.
However, although the means of handling the matter were ruthless enough, they were not vicious enough.
Needs to be tempered.
It’s just that I suddenly felt that the way he dealt with the several incidents that happened one after another was a bit too...
It gave me a vague feeling that he seemed to be doing it deliberately to show someone.
But, who should I show it to?"
With this last sentence, he finally glanced at Eunuch Hou.
Sensing His Majesty's gaze, the old eunuch's mind was racing.
When the emperor asks a question, you don't necessarily have to answer it correctly, but at least you have to give him some hints or ideas.
Otherwise, what is the use of such a eunuch?
"Your Majesty, could it be that Mr. Fan is doing this for the sake of the Master? His current status is that he is an illegitimate child after all."
Hearing this, Emperor Qing nodded, shook his head, and then said:
"I'm a little curious now about how he is going to subdue those hundred thousand lazy and undisciplined naval forces."
The Sensen Palace suddenly became quiet.
Under the dark night, there was only the sound of the Imperial Guard occasionally passing by on patrol.
No one noticed, but on the roof, there was an old eunuch sitting, holding a handful of sunflower seeds in his hand, and nibbling one from time to time.
Suddenly, I saw his slender and long fingers flicking lightly.
That action is just the action of ordinary people flicking the melon seed shells out of their hands.
After a while, someone approached, holding something dead in his hand, and said towards the roof:
"Dear father-in-law, it's a night owl."
After that, the man slowly retreated.
The old eunuch continued to eat the melon seeds in his hand. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly and he looked in a certain direction.
There, behind the rockery, in the shadows, a guard was hugging a palace maid, moving up and down, constantly nibbling at her mouth.
At this time, the old eunuch held Guazi's hand and suddenly held it tightly.
Under the moonlight, a cold light burst out from his originally calm eyes, seeming to defeat a cloud in the sky.
He lowered his head and glanced slightly at some part of his body.
After that, he gently waved the melon seeds that had turned into powder in that direction in his hand.
There were no insects buzzing around, but there was a bit of blood in the breeze.
At night, as long as Emperor Qing was still in the imperial study, he would be nearby to guard him.
Only when Emperor Qing returns to the harem will the old eunuch return to the Queen Mother.
And he is exactly what the outside world speculates is the great master hiding in the Qingguo Palace.
Soon, the Imperial Guard patrolling Gongli discovered the corpses of a pair of palace maids and guards who had an affair.
The whole body is covered with melon seed powder, shaped like a sieve.
Especially for that guard, the root of his life had been cut off by a melon seed weapon, and his death was terrifying.
