A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1381

[Chapter 1370 Laugh at the greedy wolf]

Shenhou Mansion Shenhou has always been a special existence in Chu State.

From the first day of its establishment, the Shenhou Mansion was directly under the command of His Majesty the Emperor, and the Shenhou was the only minister in the court who could see the emperor at any time. Don’t dare to block in the slightest. After all, everyone knows in their hearts that what Shenhou Mansion does is a task under the table, and when Shenhou enters the palace, of course, he has to report some things that should not be known to others.

Recently, the newly appointed Marquis of Qu Shen has frequently entered the palace, so as long as the Marquis of God appears, Yu Linwei will immediately open the palace door and quickly release the Marquis of God into the palace.

With this convenience, Qu Xiaocang made it easy to enter the imperial city or even the deep palace.

Of course, Qu Xiaocang knew where the treasure house was. He avoided the eyes and ears around the treasure house and came to the treasure house. In the middle of the night, the eunuch who was the deacon in the treasure house also dozed off.

The whole building is made of extremely tough granite, and there is a stone gate between each floor. To wait for the treasure building, you need not only the key to open the stone gate on the eunuch, but also the eunuch’s personal leadership. Otherwise, if you take a wrong step in the treasure house, you are likely to trigger the mechanism and die instantly.

The Treasure Building is twelve stories high, and the organs on each floor are different, and each floor is guarded by an eunuch, the key of each floor is on the eunuch, and each floor Even the eunuch on duty could not fully understand the authority of the sect. All he could do was follow the instructions to walk out a path that could avoid the authority. Therefore, it was important to open the stone gate, and the eunuch itself was a key.

The first floor of the Treasure Building is the archives. Every treasure that enters the Treasure Building will be recorded in the archives. Therefore, when looking for treasures, you need to find the specific location of the treasures in the archives, and then you will be able to know. On which floor and where the treasure is, the eunuch on duty finally takes it out.

Qu Xiaocang reached the gate of the Treasure House like a ghost, raised his hand and knocked on the door, but the other hand clenched the big knife in his hand.

At this moment, the harmless face of humans and animals was extremely cold, with murderous eyes in his eyes. Hearing footsteps coming from behind the door, a small window was opened in the middle of the door, and a face was exposed inside. Qu Xiaocang outside the door, the man asked in a deep voice, “Who?”

“Qu Xiaocang of the Marquis of God!” Qu Xiaocang reported to his family: “At the emperor’s will, come here to retrieve the treasure.”

The reputation of the Shenhou Mansion is naturally outside, even the eunuchs in the palace are very jealous of the Shenhou Mansion, and the voice is much softer: “The emperor has ordered to take treasures, and there are special people here, you…!”

“According to the decree, don’t delay.” Qu Xiaocang raised a hand, and a sacred decree flashed past the small window: “Open the door and show you the imperial decree.”

The eunuch closed the small window and opened the door with a smile on his face. He was about to speak, but he saw a flash of sword light. Qu Xiaocang had already slashed the eunuch’s throat with his knife. The eunuch covered his throat with a look of horror on his face. With a stern look, there was a gurgling sound in his throat, but he could not speak. Qu Xiaocang had already dodged into the door. When the eunuch fell, he reached out to grab his body and gently put him on the ground. In order not to make a sound to alarm the people upstairs, he squatted down and groped on the eunuch, and soon found a key, got up, and before he turned around, there was a sigh behind him.

Qu Xiaocang turned around abruptly. The moment he entered the room, as far as he could see, he had already swept around and found no other figure. This sigh was extremely abrupt, and Qu Xiaocang was taken aback. When he turned around, But I saw a person sitting on a chair at some point. The person was dressed as a eunuch, his eyes were sharp, but the face on his face was quite stiff, and there was no expression.

Qu Xiaocang kept calm enough, staring at the other party, holding the big sword, and did not act rashly.

“The person you want to save is not here.” The eunuch said lightly: “At the cost of Xuanyuan Po and Xue Lingfeng’s lives, if you want to take this opportunity, Marquis Qu Shen really has a good plan, but it’s a pity that the road is one foot higher. ten feet tall,

You think you are very smart, but unfortunately you are only in the palm of the prince…!

”

Qu Xiaocang changed color slightly, but still sneered: “I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

“So far, why should Qushen Hou deceive himself?” The eunuch said slowly: “From the moment you entered the palace tonight, I have been waiting for you. The prince has already instructed Yu Linwei that as long as you enter the palace, I have been waiting for you. Palace, immediately report that you did not go to see the prince after you entered the palace, and of course the prince knows where you are.”

Qu Xiaocang smiled lightly: “Really?” He had already noticed out of the corner of his eyes, and at this moment, a figure flickered not far from the gate, apparently ambush all around and was approaching.

This is of course a trap!

“Actually, your performance has been very good before.” The eunuch said: “The lord even thought that you were sincere to join him. If you really took Qi Ning’s head and offered it up, the lord would really use you as a confidant. Shaking his head, he sighed, “It’s a pity that you are still in a hurry after all, or…you don’t want to miss this opportunity. You killed Xuanyuan Po with your own hands and were ordered to get rid of Xue Lingfeng, aren’t you just for the sake of it?” Win the trust of the prince, and then find a chance to get the whereabouts of your emperor from the prince?”

Qu Xiaocang suddenly smiled and said, “It seems that Xiao Shaozong is more cunning than I thought.”

“When it comes to the ability to understand people’s hearts, how many people in the world can match the prince?” The eunuch chuckled: “But I do admire you very much. If Xiao Guang knew about it, I’m afraid he would also be very moved.”

Qu Xiaocang raised his neck slightly and said lightly, “The existence of the Divine Marquis Mansion has only one purpose. Everything is for the emperor. No matter how many people die, as long as the emperor is safe and sound, everything is worth it.”

“You covered it up very well.” The eunuch said, “Yan Lingxian is sincerely relying on the lord, and he is also the eyes and ears we arranged for you. Yan Lingxian will honestly report your words and deeds to the lord. These days. , All the details reported by Yan Lingxian prove that you really want to be loyal to the prince, but it’s a pity that idiots like Yan Lingxian are still being used by you.”

Qu Xiaocang smiled and said: “Since you know that Yan Lingxian is an idiot, why did you choose him in the first place? Yes, the Shenhou Mansion is loyal to the emperor, and the only chess piece you can use in the Shenhou Mansion is Yan. Ling Xian is just an idiot who eats the inside and the outside. You are right. I know that Yan Ling Xian has secretly learned other people’s martial arts. I know that this person is not right, and I also guess that he will secretly tell me and the actions of Shenhou Mansion. You disclosed. In this case, I will simply use him to gain your trust, at least it is more useful than killing him with a knife.”

The eunuch nodded and said, “If it were someone else, he might have really regarded you as a confidant, but the prince is so wise, it is not easy for the prince to truly believe in a person.” After a short pause, he said, “Actually, the prince is very wise. You revealed that Xiao Guang is hiding in the treasure house, this is the last test for you, if you can pass the test successfully this time, the prince will indeed entrust you with a heavy responsibility.”

“It turns out that he deliberately leaked the emperor’s whereabouts to me.” Qu Xiaocang sighed: “You are right, I was too hasty, and I fell short.”

“Although it is too hasty, it is also commendable for loyalty.” The eunuch said: “You hope to rescue your emperor as soon as possible, so that he will suffer less. Knowing that he may be imprisoned in the treasure house, you can’t help it. No action, the lord still has hope for you, but tonight you secretly left the Shenhou mansion. After Yan Lingxian entered the palace and reported the news of your leaving the Shenhou mansion, the lord knew that you would definitely sneak into the palace and treat you Completely disappointed.”

“It’s really difficult to be foolproof.” Qu Xiaocang sighed, “No wonder the Marquis of God told me back then that even a near-perfect plan would never be foolproof, because in this world, it doesn’t really matter. perfection.”

“You don’t have to blame Yan Lingxian. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com” The eunuch said, “Even if there is no information from him, I will still wait for you here.” He coughed and said loudly: “Xiaowei Yan, the lord let you Participate in tonight’s action, and after the event is completed, you will be rewarded with the title of God Marquis, your senior brother is here, why don’t you see the last one?”

The voice was behind, and a person slowly walked in from the door of the treasure house, it was Yan Lingxian.

Yan Lingxian was obviously ashamed. After entering the door, he didn’t dare to look at Qu Xiaocang. He just lowered his head and even kept the distance from Qu Xiaocang as far as possible. Obviously, he was worried that Qu Xiaocang would suddenly shoot in anger.

Qu Xiaocang didn’t even look at him, his honest face showed a peaceful smile: “Xiao Shaozong uses all these despicable and shameless villains, what kind of climate can they become? You tell Xiao Shaozong, the emperor obeys God’s will. He is the real Son of Heaven, who is worthy of the people’s hearts. He is a dwarf-like crippled body, how can he receive the favor of God and sit on the throne of the Son of Heaven?” He shook his head and sighed: “There are always some filthy people who are overly self-sufficient in this world. If you want to take something that shouldn’t belong to him in a whimsical way, in the end, you can only end up in death and defeat, so what’s the point?”

Yan Lingxian kept his head down, looking uneasy. At this time, he finally looked at Qu Xiaocang and said, “Second…Second Senior Brother, Wang Ye is the direct bloodline of Emperor Taizu, he…!”

“Shut your dog’s mouth.” Qu Xiaocang said lightly, “Do you know that your father was a chivalrous ancestor when he followed the Marquis of God. If his elder Jiuquan knew that he had given birth to such a despicable and shameless son, I really doubt if he strangled you to death while you were in swaddling clothes.” He turned his head slightly and stared at Yan Lingxian like a knife: “I will expel you from the Shenhou Mansion in the name of the Shenhou Mansion. From now on, you will no longer be a member of the Shenhou Mansion, no matter life or death, you will never humiliate the name of the Shenhou Mansion!”
