The two guards standing in front of the palace gate stood with their long spears, half leaning on the edge of the palace gate and chatting. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest
I don't know if it is the custom and tradition of the guards to gossip when they are on duty.
"I said, why don't we even have a patrolling guard today? Our team is all gone."
Holding Chang Ge in his arms alone, he turned his head and looked at the empty palace.
On weekdays, when the Li team came to check the shift, they would definitely stand still and dare not make a sound.
But today there is no one.
"Hey, don't you know? Your Majesty ordered the Xianyang Palace to hold a court meeting, and most of the guards went there. We were left here. It's lucky that no one has time to take care of us."
Speaking of another guard who looked older, he leaned against the wall: "Hey, let's just let it go wild for a day."
Just as they were talking, the two of them saw outside the palace gate.
A man in a white robe slowly walked over. He was wearing a plain white armor, like a general, with a face that made people feel cold.
One of the guards froze for a moment.
How could there be a general dressed like this
And the older guard turned pale, and hurriedly pulled the people around him to bow down, until the man in white robe walked in from the palace gate, and said without daring to lift his head.
"Mourning General."
The people who were still in a daze at the side were so frightened that their legs limp when they heard these three words, they almost sat on the ground, and they were dragged by the same Wu at the side.
"Ok."
Gu Nan walked past them without caring about their traditions.
After all, standing in front of this palace gate is a whole day, but it is not an easy job. If you don't even allow a few words to be spoken, it should really drive people crazy.
She has already sent out the policy of the great beam, and if there is nothing wrong after reporting back, she should go home.
Watching the man walk away, a guard heaved a long sigh of relief, and looked at the figure with lingering fear.
"Phew, that is, the mourning general?"
"What a big fuss." The old guard rolled his eyes disdainfully, as if it wasn't him who turned pale just now.
"You've only been here for a few months, so it's normal if you haven't seen him before. In the future, you'll be better off. You can often see officials and ministers as guards at the palace gate. If you see that person, don't look up, you know?"
"Um, um, I see."
Gu Nan walked a few steps towards the palace.
It seemed that he remembered something again and turned back.
He greeted the two guards who were still whispering by the palace gate, "You guys."
The two guards turned their heads.
Seeing that funeral general came back again, he was frightened and hurriedly bowed down again: "General, what are your orders?"
Seeing the appearance of the two guards, Gu Nan lowered his head and looked at himself embarrassingly.
I am, is there such a scare
"Just now you said that today's Xianyang Palace court meeting?"
Although he didn't know what he was asking for, the guard still replied, "It's the general."
Gu Nan glanced suspiciously at the palace far away in the palace, feeling a little weird, then looked at the soldier again.
"Do you know why?"
The court meeting was held suddenly, there should be some major event.
"Returning to the general, the younger one has heard it, and I don't know the details, but I heard that he is going to receive an envoy from the Yan Kingdom."
The guard stood in front of Gu Nan tremblingly, and stood in front of the funeral general to answer, only feeling chills all over his body, as if being forced by someone with a knife.
"Emissary of the Yan Kingdom?" Gu Nan frowned, as if thinking of something, his tone sank slightly.
"What are you here for?"
"Listen, I heard, I'm here to present a map of Yancheng and King Qin."
There was a drop of cold sweat on the guard's forehead.
Yan presented the map of Dukang to the King of Qin, and the picture was poor.
Gu Nan held Wuge's hand and pressed it, hoping that I was thinking too much.
Nodding to the guard: "Thank you."
Then he hurriedly turned and left holding Wuge.
"Don't dare."
It wasn't until Gu Nan disappeared from sight that the two guards straightened up together, glanced at each other, and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
On the main hall, the officials stood on both sides, watching the person outside the hall walking towards the hall with a long box in his hand.
The man was wearing a formal gown, the clothes were ordinary and not luxurious, but his appearance was somewhat extraordinary, with a tall and straight figure.
Holding the box in his hand, he walked into the hall with dull footsteps.
He passed by the palace gate, turned his eyes, and looked at a person standing beside the palace gate.
It was a palace swordsman with a long sword on his waist.
As King Qin's front guard, Gai Nie was the only one in the hall who could carry a sword besides King Qin, and it was precisely because of this that he only stood by the gate of the palace.
As if feeling something, Gai Nie, who was standing by the gate of the palace, raised his eyes and looked at the Yan envoy.
The pupils in his eyes shrank slightly, and he watched the envoy walking towards King Qin.
Thinking back to the words of that person the other day.
"I will give brother Gai a great achievement at that time, and brother Gai will take it, and he will be greatly valued in Qin State in the future."
What is he going to do
On the main hall, Ying Zheng was sitting on his seat, dressed in court clothes, watching His Highness Yan envoy quietly.
An attendant stood beside him, watching the envoy Yan approaching, he said loudly: "Please, envoy Yan enters the map."
Jing Ke glanced at the main hall, he didn't see that person, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That person is not there, so within ten steps, no one can defeat King Qin under his sword.
He bowed in salute, lowered his head, walked up the steps holding the long box in his hands, half kneeling in front of King Qin.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
As he spoke, he put the box down, took out the map inside, and slowly rolled it up in front of Ying Zheng.
Time seemed to have slowed down, passing by in an extremely slow manner, and the map in Jing Ke's hand opened bit by bit, revealing the land of Yan State depicted in pen and ink inside.
A slight smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
There was silence in the hall.
Only in one corner, a figure came out from the back of the hall, standing behind everyone, no one observed the appearance of this person.
Looking at the person who presented the picture standing in front of Ying Zheng above the main hall, his eyes paused.
The roll of map revealed its entire face, and as a corner of the cloth slipped, it also revealed what had been hidden in the map.
It was a short sharp sword, and what caught people's attention was the condensed line of blood on the blade.
Before everyone could react, a sword light had already flashed.
The sword was so fast that it was hard to see clearly, and it was held in Jing Ke's hand.
Ying Zheng only saw the light and shadow in front of him disappear, and a white light burst out.
He put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, but he didn't have time to draw it.
Gai Nie's sword was also out of its sheath, staring fixedly at the figure stabbing out with the sword in hand, the sword in his hand paused.
The sword light in front of him was getting closer and closer, and for the first time Ying Zheng felt that life and death were so close to him.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but there seems to be a black and red gleam coiled on the blade.
The faint light seemed to pierce something in front of Ying Zheng.
"prick!!"
The sound of a sword cutting into flesh.
