Xianyang, Xianyang Palace, Gongmen Tower.

The undisguised conversation between Jin Tong and Tian Ling was like a thunderbolt in the ears of the people under the city tower, and everyone was shocked and didn't dare to move.

It turned out that Chang Yu led the troops into Xianyang, and the palace already knew about it, and even King Yingzheng of Qin had prepared in advance. Under such circumstances, none of the soldiers who attacked the Qin Palace could come out alive.

In particular, there is also the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Xibu, who was born in the Zhong Palace, and has already stepped into the peak realm, this person only listens to the orders of Zhong Li, the master of the Zhong Palace. But he is a man after all, why can he live in the palace? If they knew that Xibu was in the palace, they wouldn't dare to let Zogo enter the Qin Palace.

Now I hear that the Empress Dowager Xia Ji is out of the customs, there are too many top masters in the palace, no wonder even the gold and bronze dare not go deeper.

Ne Shi Teng smiled bitterly: "Brother Ling Qi, in front of those big people, we don't even have the qualifications to speak. I don't understand, the palace is so heavily guarded, how dare the Marquis of Changxin send someone to attack the Qin Palace. ”

Ling Qi sat paralyzed on the ground and didn't say a word. He also didn't understand why things had evolved to this extent, and he was always defeated, let alone arresting Lu Buwei, and it was estimated that the people who stayed here would die because they heard conversations that they shouldn't have heard.

Xia Ji came out of the customs, which was indeed beyond Jin Tong's expectations. Xia Ji's attitude has always been ambiguous, not only helping Yingzheng stabilize the political situation, but also making many moves that are difficult for everyone to understand. Everyone wanted to kill Mo Wu'an, but she tried her best to save it, and with Xia Ji's existence, Zhong Dian's situation was very embarrassing. There are too many people from the North Palace in the Qin Palace, although most of those people are eunuchs and palace maids, but the number is too large, and the orders issued by the Zhong Palace are often perfunctory, and many people are even more obedient to the announcement, and Zhong Li is helpless.

The main reason is Xia Ji, the queen mother has too deep control over the North Palace, Xia Ji is inside the house, Chenxi is outside the house, and they cooperate with each other in one mile and one outside, and the power is so huge that it is terrifying. Zhong Li wanted to suppress Beigong's influence on the Qin Palace more than once, but there were too many of them, and the Zhong Palace itself did not have as many masters.

Zhongli is also expanding the number of people in the Zhong Palace, and has also developed the power of the Outer Palace, but he still can't challenge the status of the North Palace. There are a number of masters who come up from the North Palace, and the twelve generals of the North Palace all have peak strength, Chenxi, Xia Ji, Mo Chou Nu and others, even Zhongli thinks that he can't kill him at all. Beigong is deeply rooted in the Qin State, with a history of almost a hundred years, and there are definitely many hidden masters in it, and that kind of precipitation is not something that Zhong Dian can compete with.

Jin Tong worried: "There are only 20,000 people who have invaded the palace, they are scattered in, with the preparation of the palace, they can be cleared soon, there has been civil strife in the palace before, and the palace is very skilled in doing this kind of thing." I have two points, one is why did the beacon fire ignite? Second, the purpose of Empress Dowager Xia Ji's exit? I don't know this, I can't go back and explain it to my young master. ”

Tian Ling leaned on the railing of the city tower and said with a wry smile: "Needless to say, Sister Ling Yu, we don't understand what the two queen mothers mean. Maybe this time, Huayang Palace is going to have a showdown with Beigong, and the battle between the queen mother of the two palaces, the king and the hall master are not here. The so-called fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond, and Sister Lin Ye had already given the order, and all the sisters who were inconvenient withdrew into the underground secret room of the Bell Palace. ”

"In the current Zhong Palace, there are only Mrs. Jun and the Seven Swordsmen, I hope the two queen mothers can negotiate. If they can't talk about it, with their anger, it is estimated that even our bell hall may not be able to preserve. ”

Jin Tong trembled and said: "The Zhong Hall can't be lost, most of the outer halls are presided over by my Nie family, and the blending over the years has long been indistinguishable from each other." Our roots have long been tied to the bell hall, and if the roots do not exist, the outer hall will soon perish. ”

Tian Ling sighed: "Not only the outer hall, but also the Xianyang School Palace. You and I both know how important the Academy is to us. If one of the two queen mothers is unhappy, one of them can destroy Yihuan Yuan and Zhongdian. After all, Xianyang is empty, this is an indisputable fact. ”

At the gate of the Qin Palace, everyone was waiting for the results of the confrontation between those big shots, and Chang Yu, Changping Jun, Li Xin, Ying Cheng and others outside Xianyang City were also waiting. They didn't wait for Ying Zheng's order, but set their sights on the Qin Palace, far away from water could not quench their thirst, not to mention that Ying Zheng couldn't return to Xianyang at all, so they could only wait for the two queen mothers' decrees.

In Qi Nian Palace, Ying Zheng listened to Ying Ai's joking narration, and a picture of the struggle between the two clans unfolded. From the day Yingzi Chu succeeded to the throne, he was dissatisfied with Mrs. Huayang's fingers, in order to be able to take power independently, when Yingzheng and Zhao Ji had not returned to Qin, they secretly investigated some hidden forces in Huayang Palace.

After such a check, Ying Zichu didn't dare to move, and at the same time, he thought of Ying Zhu's favor for Mrs. Huayang, and at the same time snubbed Xia Ji, not for nothing. These can also be traced back to the time of King Hui of Qin, when Qin married Mi Shu, the princess of Chu, and Mi Yue, which is the most famous Empress Hui Wen and Empress Dowager Xuan in history.

These two women of the Mi family are too powerful, and since then, the Ying family has not dared to be suppressed, and since then there has been a tradition of the Ying family outside the master and the Mi family inside. The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, these two women are too strong, and after Qin Wuhou Wei Yi participated, the contradiction between the two clans intensified to the point that it could not be reconciled.

As a result, Empress Dowager Xuan won, but she also lost the support of the Ying family. When Mrs. Huayang and Xia Ji came to the throne, Empress Dowager Xuan understood that she couldn't stop the upward trend of the Ying family, because King Qin Zhaoxiang only had one surviving son, Yingzhu, so he secretly promoted Xia Ji and created a private official in the North Palace. At the same time, he did not forget to bring his own family and let Mrs. Huayang preside over the affairs of the harem, only by balancing the relationship between the two clans, can the Mi family control the private treasury of Daqin.

Empress Dowager Xuan didn't know that Xia Ji and Mrs. Huayang had their own thoughts, after all, there was too much blood shed in the Qin Palace back then. In particular, Qin Wuhou escaped from the Qin Palace safely, intensifying this contradiction again, this person is not dead, and Mrs. Huayang is like a man, and it is difficult to sleep and eat. In the palace civil strife that year, Empress Dowager Xuan killed too many people, including Mrs. Huayang.

If Empress Qin Wu was able to escape smoothly, there must be Xia Ji's help, and only the forces of Beigong could do all this. In particular, when Mrs. Huayang heard that Shang Gong coveted the private treasury, she spared no effort to plan something, and even monitored each of Yingzhu's sons. Yingzi Chu was able to ascend the throne, mainly because he had been a hostage in Zhao for many years, and the disputes within the Qin Palace were not clear, so Mrs. Huayang chose him to become the king of Qin.

Ying Zichu didn't dare to say these inside things to anyone, but only secretly said them to Ying Ai. Because she is too young, she will say it, and nature will understand when she grows up. Ying Ai's identity, Ying Zichu knew it very early, because the Ba family didn't dare to hide it from him, and Shang Gong didn't dare to hide it from him. But even Ying Zichu, Ba Qingqing, and Shang Gong didn't know, and Ying Ai was already very sensible at that time.

The hellish training made Ying Ai precocious, and she was used to seeing many people die in front of her. Even when she was torturing people, she kept smiling, and in order to keep her mind clear, she didn't cut the last knife of the dead people. Because she knows that giving a fatal blow to someone will inevitably be contaminated with murderous aura.

Ordinary people don't know what murder is, but Ying Ai understands, and for better disguise, she doesn't even dare to learn martial arts. From the day he stepped into the Qin Palace, behind his smile, he had been walking on thin ice, cautious, for fear of being seen by Mrs. Huayang.

Listening to Ying Ai's narration with a grin, Ying Zheng sighed: "I understand why Grandma Huayang lit the beacon fire, she just wanted to force Grandma Xia Ji to come out, because I brought Xiao Ai out." From then on, she lost control of Xiao Ai and would find other ways to save it all. ”

"But we don't know what hole cards Grandma Huayang has. What is the purpose of forcing Grandma Xia Ji out of the customs so early? ”

Zhongli was puzzled: "Xiao Ai grew up with us, and now she is still a little guy, what does she worry about the Empress Dowager Huayang?" ”

Ying Zheng smiled bitterly: "You don't have to ask about this, Xiao Zhong, you just need to know a little, Xiao Ai is my sister, and our brother and sister are of the same heart, it's enough." If anyone wants to harm her in the future, you have to try to protect her, Kui'er's strength is not enough, God knows if there is a peak high-grade powerhouse in the hands of Grandma Huayang. ”

Zhongli nodded and said, "Now that Xianyang is empty, everyone in the palace knows about my relationship with the Empress Dowager Huayang." If the two queen mothers can't negotiate the contradiction between the two clans, who will anger whom? It's not good, Zhong Dian is in danger, with the character of the Empress Dowager Huayang, if she feels that the two clans need to fight, it will anger the Empress Dowager Xia Ji. In terms of playing with means, the Empress Dowager Xia Ji is still a little worse, otherwise how can the palace be the master of Huayang Palace? ”

Thinking of Xia Ji in an angry state, Ying Zheng stood up suddenly, but sat down helplessly. It's too late to stop it now, I hope that the Ice Girl can protect them, and I also hope that Toshiyo won't fight with Natsuhime. If a few of them had any injuries, it would make him regret coming to the Qi Nian Palace.

Huayang Palace, underground secret room.

Mrs. Huayang was alone, sitting alone in a chair. There was an empty chair opposite, as if waiting for someone.

"Since my sister is here, please take a seat."

"My sister is really good, in order to force me out, even the beacon fire was lit. I'm here now, and your purpose has been accomplished. ”

Natsuhime's old figure appeared in the secret room, sitting directly on the empty chair.

Mrs. Huayang smiled: "Judging from my sister's steady pace, those little ones have been deceived by my sister. The combined attack of many masters in Xuefanlou, and Zhongli's sneak attack, the small injury that my sister received is probably also disguised. This can't be blamed on them, how can the pinnacle powerhouse be so easily injured? I've seen the royal prince's shots, and although I don't understand such a master, I also understand that it is difficult for ordinary people to be injured. ”

"After all, he is a character who can make rules, how can he be compared with those ordinary people."

Natsuhime also said honestly, "I did suffer a minor injury, but I recovered quickly. The sword that Zhongli sneaked up on, I really couldn't resist, mainly because of the women of the Blood Fan Building. The combined attack technique is also good, but it can't hinder me, but the problem is that the holy monument, the power inside is not a match for us, so we can only avoid it. Even if I let my sister know this, what can I do? You don't understand any of that. ”

"People like us who can make rules are not all swayed by you, who don't know martial arts. In terms of playing with conspiracy methods, I am indeed inferior to you, so I spared no effort to cultivate Xi'er, Xi'er did a good job, and your methods can only kill some people in the palace. I have too many people in Beigong, and I don't feel distressed no matter how many people I kill. ”

Mrs. Huayang smiled: "But in case someone from the Twelve Powers of the North Palace dies, my sister should be distressed." I won't hide it from you, the death of the sad and rebellious people was planned by me. Sadness and rebellion entered the palace to attack Zhong Dian, which is the news that I sent someone to deliberately reveal on the rivers and lakes, with their feelings for Meng Jiang, they will definitely take action, and that time, my sister stood up. ”

"So I revealed the news to Zhongli again, saying that Grief and Rebelliousness were hidden in Yihuan Courtyard, and when the women of the Blood Fan Building came to kill, they really killed Grief and the others. That time, my sister was so angry that she did it, but unfortunately it didn't hurt much. So I was thinking, how on earth can I kill my sister? ”

Xia Ji frowned and said, "The two clans can't fight anymore." I know you want me to die, but unfortunately your strength is too weak, and you really want to force me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you? ”

Mrs. Huayang shook her head and said, "My sister won't kill me, because you promised the first king." If I am killed by my sister, then the Mi clan will definitely retaliate, after all, I am the head of the Mi clan. ”

Xia Ji sighed, she really couldn't do anything to Mrs. Huayang, no matter what Mrs. Huayang did, she couldn't do it.

Mrs. Huayang continued: "If my sister really wants to kill me one day, she can only cut off my wings first, and then divide my Mi clansmen, until I have no influence on the family, and then I can do it." ”

Natsuhime couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”

Mrs. Huayang said seriously: "I want my sister to help me kill someone." ”

"Who?"

"Ying Ai."

Hearing this name, Xia Ji suddenly raised her head and glared: "It's impossible, we all know the identity of Ying Ai, how can I kill my Ying clan?" Are you worried that she will tell her life? She's still so young, she doesn't understand anything, and she doesn't pose a threat to you at all. What's more, she follows Zheng'er, and there are many masters around her, and I can't kill her. ”

Mrs. Huayang said: "In my opinion, only the dead can keep secrets, and it is inconvenient for me to make a move, because I don't have such a master in my hands, after all, Zhongli is by Zheng'er's side." But my sister can, because Mo Chou Nu is also in Qi Nian Palace, so after she kills someone, she can go back to Nanshan directly. ”

Xia Ji refused: "Don't mention this matter in the future, Mo Chou will not make a move." I once had an agreement with Zhao Ji, don't worry about whether you can make a move in the future, you can only say what she says. As a martial artist, when we reach our realm, we naturally have to honor what we say, otherwise there will be weaknesses. You don't understand any of that. ”

Mrs. Huayang said: "I really don't understand, since Ying Ai can't kill it, then help me kill Lin Ye." This girl knows too many things, she has too much influence on my Mi clan, and I am afraid that after her death, no one in the clan will be her opponent. ”

Xia Ji said bitterly: "It turns out that Kailong assassinated Lin Ye and you were behind it. Feng also committed suicide in front of me, explaining in detail that he did not transfer the people in the palace that night, leaving Lin Ye alone and stabbed with nowhere to ask for help. And I didn't give such an order, so the only one who could transfer those people was Lao Xiang. Lin Ye's girl is very cute, I really can't do it. ”

Mrs. Huayang said angrily: "My sister can't even kill a little guy, so what are you doing here tonight?" In short, these two people must die before I can feel at ease. If my sister doesn't do anything, then please go back. ”

Natsuhime got up and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?" With what I know about you, it is impossible to force me out with such a little means. ”

Mrs. Huayang sneered: "As I said earlier, my sister's feelings for Beigong are too deep, if my sister doesn't do anything, just wait for my follow-up measures." I will disintegrate the forces of the North Palace one by one, and I will kill the twelve generals of the North Palace and the morning light one by one. ”

"For example, the Tooth Brigade, she is still in the palace, if my sister doesn't kill Lin Ye, she will die soon."

Xia Ji got up suddenly, rushed to Mrs. Huayang in an instant, and grabbed her neck with one hand.

Mrs. Huayang looked at it with a sneer, Xia Ji struggled in her heart, dropped her hand awkwardly, and turned to leave without saying a word......
