The next day, Bao Yu arrived as promised. However, what surprised Bai Yan was that the people from the Bao clan did not come together. After asking Bao Yu, he learned that the people from the Bao clan had been placed by Bao Yu.
Chu State.
While Bai Yan and Bao Yu were talking in the courtyard, Zhang Liang had already returned.
"General! These are the rebels in the city who were sent out early in the morning to hunt down the Goucheng Order!"
Zhang Liang came to Bai Yan and handed over his report to Bai Yan. Then he looked at the courtyard gate behind him and looked at the men who were tied up by the soldiers and escorted into the small courtyard.
"Lord Bao Yu!!!"
"Master Yu! Jing Mo!"
When the blood-stained men were escorted into the courtyard one by one, and saw Bai Yan with their own eyes, and Bao Yu next to Bai Yan, all the men froze on the spot, their eyes full of disbelief.
They never expected that they would see Jing Mo, who stayed in Yanggui, and Bao Yu, who had already gone to Chu State.
Bao Yu naturally saw Luan Hong. When he glanced at the people in front of him, Bao Yu sighed and did not say anything, but looked aside.
When Bai Yan saw this, he looked at Gou Ze aside.
"I'll leave it to you to decide how to deal with the one who kills you!"
Bai Yan said.
When Gou heard Bai Yan's words, he suddenly laughed. His eyes when he looked at those men were particularly penetrating, and he could not hide his murderous intent at all.
"Then I'll trouble the soldiers and do anything to help them! According to Qin law, traitors should die!"
Gou Ze said softly.
Zhang Liang and others looked at Bai Yan. When Bai Yan nodded in agreement, they drew their swords without hesitation.
"Sir, let us go!"
"Sir, please forgive me~!"
The men, who had already been frightened to death, begged for mercy in horror when they saw this scene. However, the next moment, sharp sword blades slashed their necks, and streams of blood continued to flow down their bodies.
The whole person fell to the ground.
"Lord Yu!"
Luan Hong stared at Bao Yu blankly. At this moment, his mind was filled with confusion as to why Lord Bao Yu was here, and...
Who is Jing Mo?
Why is it that everyone, even the Xinzheng city magistrate Gou Ze, listens to him now?
"Hmm~!"
However, Luan Hong couldn't get an answer. He suddenly felt a stinging pain in his neck, the huge pain and the gradually cold body all over. Luan Hong's vision became increasingly blurred. He felt that his mouth was full of sticky liquid and he couldn't breathe. In less than two months, Luan Hong couldn't breathe.
He then spun around and fell to the ground.
And right next to Luan Hong's body.
Zhang Liang held a sharp blade in his hand and looked at Luan Hong, who was lying on the ground with blood flowing out of his body. His eyes were filled with disdain as he watched his body trembling.
Just now this rebel had killed one soldier and injured three other soldiers. Letting him die so easily was really an advantage for him.
In the courtyard.
As the begging for mercy disappeared, at a glance, the people who had been pressed over were all dead in the yard.
When Gou Ze saw this scene, he looked at the people who came out of the city to chase him, all of them turned into corpses, and his eyes revealed a hint of joy.
"Just say goodbye!"
Bai Yan looked at Gou Ze, raised his hand, and said softly.
"General, take care of it!"
Seeing this, Gou nodded to Bai Yan and raised his hand to return the salute.
When Bao Yu saw Bai Yan turned around and left, he raised his hand to salute Gou Ze. After Gou Ze returned the salute, he followed Bai Yan and left.
Xianyang, Qin State.
In the bright candlelight, Ying Zheng, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly became short of breath, his hands and feet trembled from time to time, he was saying something vaguely, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
"Kings!"
“Up up!!”
Concubine Qi, who was also on the bed, knelt beside her and called Ying Zheng anxiously.
Finally, Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, stood up suddenly, looked around in panic, opened his mouth and gasped for air. When he saw that he was in the palace, and it was still dark outside, Ying Zheng gradually calmed down.
"Kings!"
Concubine Qi was wearing a thin silk dress, and her looming figure was very attractive.
He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from Ying Zheng's forehead with his cuffs, not paying attention to Ying Zheng's heavy breathing blowing out in front of him.
for a long time.
Concubine Qi just saw Ying Zheng and gradually stabilized her mood.
However, at this time, seeing the sticky substance on Ying Zheng's body, Concubine Qi naturally knew that Ying Zheng could not fall asleep again, so she stood up gently, picked up Qin's clothes from the ground, put it on her body, walked to the door and opened it
.
"The king wants to take a bath! Please go and ask Doctor Xia to come over!"
Concubine Qi said to the maid and eunuch waiting outside the door.
"promise!"
The eunuch nodded, bowed to Concubine Qi, and turned to leave.
When Concubine Qi closed the door and turned back to the room, she saw Ying Zheng already standing by the window, looking at the moonlight outside the window.
"Your Majesty, are you having nightmares again?"
Concubine Qi came to Ying Zheng's side and looked at Ying Zheng.
"Can I say anything?"
Ying Zheng did not answer Concubine Qi's question, but turned his head and asked a question.
Then under Ying Zheng's gaze, Concubine Qi shook her head.
"Back to the king, the king has just said nothing!"
After Concubine Qi finished speaking, she lowered her head.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked out the window at the night, looking at the dark night sky for a long time before sighing.
Half an hour later.
Under the leadership of the eunuchs, the imperial doctor Xia followed the maid holding a candle lamp all the way to the royal palace and saw Ying Zheng who had already washed himself.
"Xia Wuqi pays homage to the king! Concubine Qi!"
When Xia Wuji saw Ying Zheng, he raised his hand to salute Ying Zheng, and then looked at Concubine Qi.
At this moment, Concubine Qi was already dressed appropriately. She wore neat Qin clothes and jewelry, which all showed her noble status.
"No need to be polite! Give me a seat!"
When Ying Zheng saw Xia Wuqi, he did not blame Concubine Qi.
When Xia Wuji saw the maid bringing a cushion, he skillfully went forward and knelt down. Ying Zheng stretched out his hand, and Xia Wuji stretched out his hand to feel Ying Zheng's pulse.
"What did your Majesty dream about this time?"
Xia Wuji looked at Ying Zheng and asked softly, frowning slightly.
Outsiders didn't know it, but as Ying Zheng's doctor, Xia Wuqi knew clearly that Ying Zheng had been having nightmares during this period and would be woken up in the middle of the night every time.
Xia Wuqie also tried many tranquilizers, but the effects were minimal.
Looking at the increasingly tired Ying Zheng, Xia Wuji felt anxious.
"I was walking alone in the night. I didn't know which alley I was in. I saw many strange things!"
Ying Zheng heard Xia Wuji's inquiry and whispered to Xia Wuji.
Xia Wuji nodded after hearing this.
At this time, Xia Wuji looked at Concubine Qi calmly. Concubine Qi faced Xia Wuji's gaze and shook her head secretly at Xia Wuji.
Seeing this, Xia Wuqi looked at Ying Zheng and asked Ying Zheng how he felt every day. After getting Ying Zheng's reply, he thought for a moment and took out a writing brush and a blank bamboo slip from the medicine box. After finishing the pen and ink, he
Start writing.
After doing all this, Xia Wuqie handed the pen and ink to the eunuch and maid who were already waiting, and asked them to grab the medicine.
"Your Majesty is mentally unstable and needs to rest for a while. I have already written down some medicine to soothe your nerves. Your Majesty can just take it and rest for a while. I will retire now!"
Xia Wuji stood up slowly, bowed down and saluted Ying Zheng.
"Go for it!"
When Ying Zheng heard what Xia Wuji said, he asked Xia Wuji to go back and rest.
Ever since he often had nightmares late at night and suffered from insomnia, Ying Zheng not only looked tired, but his spirit was also not good. There was a sense of exhaustion in his words, and he didn't seem to want to say anything more.
"promise!"
Xia Wuji took two steps back and followed the maid towards the outside of the palace.
In the palace, after Xia Wuji left, Concubine Qi, Ying Zheng, and two maids were left again.
Concubine Qi saw Ying Zheng closing her eyes with a headache, then came behind Ying Zheng, stretched out her slender hand, and rubbed Ying Zheng's forehead.
Looking at Xia Wuji leaving from the palace gate, Concubine Qi did not tell the truth to Xia Wuji just now, and not only did she not tell the truth just now, but all the time, Xia Wuji asked her several times, and Concubine Qi chose to hide it without exception.
, did not tell Xia Wuji the truth.
It's not like Ying Zheng never talked in his sleep.
Ying Zheng was not just talking in his sleep, Concubine Qi even knew clearly that Ying Zheng had been having the same dream all along. Although she didn't know where it was, it might be in the main hall, or in the harem, or as Ying Zheng said,
It was in a small alley that I had never seen before, but the only thing the same was that they were all assassinated.
"You dare to assassinate me, come here! Come here!"
"You are not allowed to assassinate me. Go away, go away! Protect me, protect me quickly!"
These are the murmurs that Concubine Qi clearly hears every time she goes to bed, and when Ying Zheng has nightmares. After that, Concubine Qi will always hear Ying Zheng calling someone's name at the end.
Bai Yan!!!
It was the young man from the Bai family who risked his life to block Jing Ke's stab for Ying Zheng in the Xianyang Hall.
The reason why Ying Zheng kept having nightmares during this period of time was that Concubine Qi knew that this was the sequelae that had persisted since Jing Ke's assassination. The reason why Ying Zheng asked her if she had talked in her sleep, and she insisted that she had not, was because she knew very well that Ying Zheng
As the King of Qin, I will never allow this matter to spread, otherwise it will not only make the world laugh and make the king lose his dignity, but also let more and more people know that Jing Ke’s assassination was not a failure as imagined.
More and more people will even think of ways to imitate Jing Ke and assassinate him.
That was something that Ying Zheng would never allow, so Ying Zheng hid Xia Wuji's secret. Not only did she, Concubine Qi, know this, but even Princess Mi must have seen it, so Princess Mi never said anything.
