Chapter 251: Murderous Intentions Under Celebration

"Yang Jian, the nephew of Haotian God, met Princess Longji, the daughter of Haotian God, who was banished to the human world because she pleaded for mercy for her aunt Fairy Yunhua?" Madam Mingzhu muttered as she flipped through the pages of the book, "I wonder what will happen between them?"

At the end, a barely perceptible trace of regret flashed across Madam Mingzhu's beautiful, gem-like eyes.

"Mother, you seem to like this book called Honghuang very much?" The son born to Zhengge by Madam Mingzhu: Hu Hai, the eighteenth prince of the Qin Empire, was also in his mother's bedroom. Time has passed, and now Hu Hai is a child of six or seven years old. Because he has been pampered since he was a child, Hu Hai's eyebrows are filled with inner arrogance, and the depths of his pair of heterochromatic pupils hide violence.

Hearing his mother say this, Hu Hai, who was playing with some toys, said nonchalantly.

"Why not ask my father to issue an imperial edict to recall that Wushuang Jun from the Western Regions to tell stories specifically for you!"

Hu Hai's words showed that he did not take Tianxuan, an important official of the empire, seriously at all. He regarded him as an actor who could be summoned and dismissed at will.

When Madam Mingzhu heard what her beloved son said, she put down the script in her hand and laughed out loud: "Hai'er, do you think that Wushuang Jun Tianxuanzi is just an eunuch or palace maid you can beat or scold? He is an important official of your father. Your father prepared the humerus specifically for your eldest brother!"

Although she emphasized Tianxuan's status, there was a cold murderous intent in Madam Mingzhu's eyes.

"I don't care if he is an important minister of my father!" Hu Hai waved his hand and said, "In short, he is a minister of the empire. A minister must obey the emperor. Otherwise, he deserves death!"

At the end of the conversation, Hu Hai's handsome face actually looked ferocious under the light. Because it happened so fast, even his mother, Lady Mingzhu, failed to notice it.

call out!
Suddenly, a rainbow light appeared in the hall at an incredibly fast speed, and the breeze it brought only made the flames flicker briefly.

"Meet Madam Pearl."

Suddenly, a plain-looking palace maid in a palace skirt appeared under Madam Mingzhu's brocade couch.

"What's the matter?" Madam Mingzhu raised her head and glanced at the person who came. She was not afraid of her appearance at all. Even Hu Hai, who was playing with toys, was indifferent.

"Lord Zhao Gao sent me to tell Madam that Wushuang Jun Tianxuanzi has sent a generous tribute to Your Majesty: 30,000 taels of gold, 200,000 taels of silver, and more than a dozen crops and fruits produced in the Western Regions!"

hiss!
After hearing the news brought by the assassin from Luowang, Madam Mingzhu was shocked and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Immediately, the long-suppressed murderous intent was like a flood that broke through the limit of the dam, and it was released unscrupulously from Madam Mingzhu's graceful body, causing the temperature in the palace to drop sharply, and it was chilly and biting.

"It seems that I underestimated this Wushuang Jun!" After a moment of silence, Madam Mingzhu's beautiful face broke into a gorgeous smile, but there was no warmth in the smile, only the icy murderous intent that could not be dispersed. "It has only been two years since he left Xiaoguan, and he has actually opened up a business route that makes a fortune every day."

"However, whether he can defend this trade route is another matter."

At this point, Madam Mingzhu's face became extremely ferocious, like a ghost ready to devour someone. In the eyes of Hu Hai who was sitting below, he felt a little scared for no reason. He lowered his head and didn't even dare to look at his mother.

"Tell Zhao Gao to find a way to let the Wolf Clan know that there is such a city in the Hexi Corridor that makes a fortune every day!"

"Here."

After Madam Mingzhu revealed her killing intention, the top assassin of Luowang felt as if she was in the company of a terrifying beast and was as silent as a cicada. Madam Mingzhu asked her to go back and pass on the message, which immediately made this person feel as if he had been pardoned. With a nod, the assassin of Luowang disappeared in the hall.

"Mother." Born in an imperial family, she had to learn intrigue and deception since she could remember. In particular, Lady Mingzhu hoped that Hu Hai could defeat other princes including Fusu and become the future Qin II. Therefore, she heard that her mother colluded with her teacher (Zhao Gao) to eliminate her father's important minister, Wushuang Jun Tianxuanzi.

Although Hu Hai was young, he didn't take it seriously. However, the murderous intent shown by his mother really frightened Hu Hai. It was not until the Luowang killer left for a while that Hu Hai summoned up the courage to shout.

………………

Western Regions, Wushuang City.

"Brothers, drink."

"Liu Ji, I'll toast you a glass."

"happy."

……

The New Year is the most important festival of the year. Especially since most people in Wushuang City are from other places, even though quite a few of them have married women from the Central Plains or even Western Regions, on this day of celebration, they still miss their hometowns, which most of them will never be able to return to, and their relatives who are far away.

In order to ease the homesickness of his soldiers, Tianxuan ordered Xiao He, Cao Shen and others to start preparations a month ago.

As New Year’s Eve arrives, large-scale celebrations are held in Wushuang City.

Girls living in brothels were pulled out of the brothels to perform for the people in the city, either dancing or playing various musical instruments. Soldiers in the army, as long as they had a skill, no matter what it was, would most likely perform on stage on this day of universal celebration.

There were jars of strong liquor piled up together like a small mountain, and the Qin soldiers who were not on duty were allowed to drink as much as they wanted; pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and other livestock were slaughtered and turned into fragrant dishes, which were placed on the street in the center of Wushuang City for anyone to eat.

The lord of Wushuang City, Tianxuan, who was canonized as Wushuang Lord by Zheng Ge, wandered around Wushuang City with his confidants such as Liu Ji, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Mo Ya, and Lu Laobo. Everyone put down their airs and celebrated the festival with the Qin army. Wushuang City, isolated outside the Central Plains and seemingly abandoned by the empire, still had a faint sense of separation under this series of measures, but more of it was joy.

Words filled with joy and excitement broke through the boundaries between heaven and earth and rushed straight into the sky, as if to carry this city standing on the Hexi Corridor to the vast and unknowable heaven, far away from all the troubles of the world.

[I hope I can keep this foundation! Even if I fail to become the ruler of the world in the future, it will be no problem to keep the wealth and honor for my descendants! ]

After drinking heartily with his soldiers, Tianxuan dispelled the drunkenness lingering in his heart, looked around, and saw the happiness on those drunken faces, and this thought came to his mind.

"Your Majesty, let's gamble together!" Tian Xuan had just thought of this when the drunk Liu Ji came up to him and muttered. While he was talking, Liu Ji had already taken out the gambling cup he carried with him, and several dice were colliding up and down in the gambling cup.

"it is good."

In this world, there are not as many entertainment options as in the future, and gambling is the favorite form of entertainment for soldiers in the army. On this day of universal celebration, Tianxuan didn't want to spoil the fun, so he agreed immediately.
