Imperial City, Harem, Secret Room!

"Please make a decision as soon as possible!" Among the ten permanent attendants, Feng Zhen, Duan Qi, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun and others all knelt in front of the first eunuch, all with anxious looks; The seal of the Xiliang assassin Shi Dong Zhuo who is about to enter Beijing has been sent to the court, and now everyone in Luoyang knows that the Xiliang soldiers entered Beijing at the invitation of the general He Jin to 'punish the traitor, the Qing Dynasty Gang', as for who is the real 'traitor'? Hehe! Then only God knows!

Zhang Rang still looks gloomy and unchanged for thousands of years, but today he has changed into a bright red inner robe, which looks extraordinarily bright, as bright as blood; In the recent battle array game, Zhang Rang played more devotedly than the little emperor, it can really be described as 'the body does not leave the armor, the hand does not leave the sword', and the daily practice is extremely serious, so that the old eunuch looks a little more masculine at this time.

"Instead of standing back, let's take a fight! Ancestor, let's fight! Guo Sheng's eyes were already bloodshot, as the successor that Zhang Rang had cultivated for a long time, his words could represent Zhang Rang's meaning in a sense, but sometimes, some words were not suitable for Zhang Rang, the leader, so he needed a spokesperson.

This is a meeting of eunuchs to unify their thoughts, Zhang Rang learned the lesson of the last time because of the leakage of news, so that the final success was lost, and decided to first reach a consensus internally, and then work together to deal with He Jin's party, and now the grim situation also forces these eunuchs to sit together and help each other in the same boat; In the face of life and death, the little Jiujiu in anyone's heart has to be put away temporarily.

In the 'Ten Standing Servants', Jian Shuo is dead, Zhang Rang sits on the seat, and the rest of the people are half-kneeling on the ground, and the only one standing at this time is the second person in the eunuch group, Zhao Zhong; when it comes to intelligence, Zhao Zhong can only be regarded as a middle-aged person, and when it comes to ruthlessness, any one of the 'Ten Standing Attendants' can throw him out of several streets; but such a good old man with mediocre intelligence has become the second person, and naturally he has his superiority--- left and right!

Whether it was in front of the emperor, or in the Empress Dowager He, who was proud of the spring breeze at this time, or even the Empress Dowager Dong, who had already died in Huangquan, Zhao Zhong was very good; In the eyes of his master, he is a good servant who serves well, in the eyes of his companions, he is a trustworthy good friend, and in front of his subordinates, he is an amiable and good boss.

If it is said that after Dong Zhuo enters Beijing, who among the 'Ten Standing Attendants' is likely to survive the next Great Purge, then it must be Zhao Zhong!

This is also the reason why he has not expressed his position for a long time, try to ask Dan Dan if there is a way to live, who will choose to fight hard; Similarly, this is also the real purpose of Zhang Rang to convene this meeting--- to force Zhao Zhong to express his position!

In order to achieve the success of this palace coup and kill He Jin, it is impossible without the full support of Zhao Zhong, the number two person in the eunuchs.

"You and I have known each other since childhood, partners for half a lifetime, and now that disaster is coming, I am afraid that it will be difficult to advance and retreat together in the future, so take care of yourself!" Zhang Rang stood up and patted Zhao Zhong on the shoulder, and took the opportunity to smooth out the folds on the other party's clothes, his concern was overflowing, and then he took the other party's hands, revealing a sad face, as if he had accepted his fate, but there was a deep meaning between the words.

"Please Gonggong Zhao for the sake of his companions for many years, burn a piece of paper on our grave in the future, and sacrifice it, don't let me become a lonely ghost, the little ones are grateful, grateful!" At the same time, the rest of the eunuchs also cried incessantly, and even crawled a few steps on the ground, stepping forward to hug Zhao Zhong's feet, looking extremely miserable.

"Don't do that, you guys, let me think!" Zhao Zhong looked left and right with sweat on his head, obviously unable to make up his mind for a while, but when the corner of his eyes swept over Guo Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, his expression suddenly changed, as if he was frightened, and then said impassionedly: "Brothers, we are all rootless people, we should be one in life and death, share honor and disgrace, please make a decision as soon as possible, Zhao Zhong is not talented, I am willing to help!" ”

"Thank you Zhao Gong for your kindness, but this matter is very important, if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe, and the foolish brother really doesn't want to involve the virtuous brother!" Zhang Rang's words were sincere, and tears flowed from his eyes, but the hands that grabbed Zhao Zhong's arms did not let go at all.

"Please have mercy on Zhao Gong! ……”

"Please think twice! ……”

The rest of the people covered their faces with their sleeves and made a painful appearance, but whether they shed tears or not, only themselves and God know.

The most difficult person in the world is the human heart!

"Please make a decision, no matter whether you succeed or fail, the little brother is willing to live and die with you!" Half-kneeling on the ground, Zhao Zhong showed a resolute expression, although his hands trembled a little, but his words were unambiguous, "The 'Ten Standing Servants' are one in life and death, if they do not give up, they are willing to make a blood oath!" ”

The blood oath, that is, writing the oath with one's own blood, can be said to be the most solemn covenant ceremony in this era, and it will not be used unless it encounters a major event of life and death and lives are entrusted.

"Brother Xian, I really didn't mistake you for my brother, if something big happens, you will definitely share the wealth and wealth!" Zhang Rang's hand finally let go, his face was full of gratitude, Guo Sheng on the side took out a copy of the alliance list from his left sleeve, and the white silk scroll was impressively written: "Kill He Jin, to clear Sheji!" The oath of "; There were already eight people's signatures on it, and there was a vacant line in the second position, which was specially prepared for Zhao Zhong.

Writing a blood oath, blood must be blessed, Zhao Zhong looked at the alliance list, looked at his fingers again, and after a slight hesitation, Guo Sheng on the side took out a dagger from the sleeve of his right hand like a trick, a snow-bright dagger!

There was not the slightest change on his face, in fact, Zhao Zhong was already sweating, which was also the reason why he suddenly changed his attitude, just now, he saw that Guo Sheng had a dagger hidden in his sleeve, not only Guo Sheng, he could be sure that the rest of the people must also have sharp blades hidden on their bodies; It feels like walking a ...... by the Nai He Bridge, his arms are tightly grasped by Zhang Rang, and his legs are hugged by other eunuchs, so he loses the ability to resist or escape, and Guo Sheng holds an alliance in one hand and a dagger in the other, lurking at his side, if Zhao Zhong hesitates a little just now, it can be imagined that it will be a blood-spattered situation on the spot, and the eunuchs will never be soft when they kill their own people.

The sharp dagger slashed, the bright red blood flowed down, Zhao Zhong resolutely dipped his fingers in his own blood, wrote his name on the alliance list, the pen walked the dragon snake, full of helplessness but did not dare to pause, the last stroke fell, which means that the retreat has been cut off, and now, there is only a desperate fight!

The internal thinking has been unified, everyone's eyes are on Zhang Rang, like a wolf and a tiger, everyone has bloodshot eyes, this is a big gamble, the bet is their own net worth.

"When it comes, you have to be bold!" After silently reciting the last sentence of advice given to him by 'Zimu Gongzi' a few times, Zhang Rang's heart calmed down, relatives and eunuchs were originally derivatives of imperial power, and the two have been living and restraining each other for hundreds of years, and will continue in the long river of history, it can be said that as long as the supreme imperial power exists for one day, relatives and eunuchs will never be extinct.

The sword is out of its sheath, and whether it is life or death depends on today!

"Zhao Zhong, you immediately go to the Empress Dowager He, use all the rhetoric, General Xuanda He entered the palace, and said that we are willing to sacrifice all our family wealth and return to the countryside to farm, just to get our lives!" Suddenly took off a bright red robe, Zhang Rang revealed the soft armor inside, and the short knife hidden at his waist, this is his true face that has been hidden for a long time--- I am invincible!

"No! ......" Zhao Zhong flicked the sleeves of his robe, his face showed a resolute look that he had never seen before, and strode out.

"Guo Sheng! Go to the 'Imperial Forest General' He Miao and bribe him with a treasure, and make sure this fool does what we planned!" Zhang Rang handed over another important task to his protégé.

"No! ……”

"The rest of the people, tell all the little ones in the palace to put the bow on the string and the sword out of the sheath! Each ambush was in place, just waiting for He Jin as soon as the stupid pig entered the palace, and immediately killed him; Whether it's life or death, it's up to today! Pulling out the short knife in his arms, Zhang Rang's eyes suddenly turned red, and the red was almost dripping blood.

Promise! ……
