Chapter 52 Revenge
"Liji, follow me to see 'her'!"
Li Ji was still immersed in the memories of the past, Zheng Ge had already put his emotions in order and turned his head to say to Li Ji.
Zheng Ge deliberately emphasized the word "she", so that even though Zheng Ge did not say it directly, Li Ji already knew who the "she" Zheng Ge was referring to. After Zheng Ge finished speaking, he walked out. Seeing this, Li Ji followed him silently.
"The King has arrived, and Lady Li Ji is here!"
The distant colors are connected to the tall trees, and the reflected light shines on the distant building. The shadows of the returning geese make me think of the insects more anxiously. The smoke and dusk have long separated, and the sunset has not yet disappeared. The bright lights can be continued, but they only illuminate the dark bridal chamber.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the Zhangtai Palace, gilding the solemn black buildings with flying eaves and brackets with dazzling gold. Zheng Ge and Li Ji came to the depths of the Zhangtai Palace, a palace guarded by eunuchs and maids inside and outside. The guards who were supposed to patrol the palace would never dare to step into the palace of a hundred feet around without Zheng Ge's permission.
The eunuchs guarding the palace gate cheered loudly when they saw from afar the elegant and graceful Zheng Ge and the extremely beautiful and cold Li Ji arriving.
"Greetings to the King, Lady Li Ji!"
Then, all the people inside and outside the hall knelt down in unison. The thunderous cheers echoed inside and outside the palace, with a majestic momentum, which alarmed the owner of the palace, a lady who had lost her beauty. In just a few years, she transformed from a beautiful woman with charm into an old woman with chicken skin and gray hair.
"You came!"
Zheng Ge didn't even dare to look at the servant who was kneeling on the ground, and walked into the hall with Li Ji. The old lady with wrinkled face struggled to stand up with the help of the maid beside her, opened her cloudy old eyes wide, as if to see Zheng Ge clearly, although there was a trace of imperceptible warmth in her eyes, but more of it was cold.
Throughout the Qin State, no, in the entire world, there was only one person who dared to be so rude in front of Zheng Ge. That person was the Queen Mother of Qin State - Zhao Ji!
Power and women are not only the favorites of men, but also of women. The difference is that women love power and men!
Since Zheng Ge executed Lao Ai and his son, the relationship between Zheng Ge and Zhao Ji, who had once depended on each other in Zhao State, was almost completely broken. In order to prevent the Lao Ai incident from happening again, Zheng Ge not only did not allow any man to get close to Zhao Ji, but also would not let Zhao Ji get even a little bit of power. In this life of house arrest, Zhao Ji was like a bird trapped in a cage, aging rapidly.
"I came here to tell you." Zheng Ge was used to Zhao Ji's indifference to him, so he said calmly, "Handan has been captured by Wang Jian, and King Qian of Zhao led the Zhao civil and military officials to surrender. The deposed crown prince of Zhao, Gongzi Jia, led hundreds of Zhao royal family members and thousands of defeated soldiers to flee to Dai County."
Boom!
Upon learning that the State of Zhao had been destroyed, Zhao Ji, who was as dead as a dead tree, began to feel her heart beating violently in her chest. Her expression changed drastically, with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.
Those who were grieving knew that Zhao Ji was a Zhao person after all. According to her parents, her ancestors even had some relationship with the Zhao royal family. How could she feel good about the destruction of her motherland? Those who were happy knew that after Ying Zichu and Lu Buwei fled, they and their son were bullied in Zhao and had difficulty making ends meet. Now they finally had a chance to take revenge!
"I have decided to go to Handan," Zheng Ge saw Zhao Ji's expression and said calmly, "Some accounts should be settled!"
"Hehehe!"
At the end, Zheng Ge, who had avenged his hatred for more than 20 years, sneered a few times. There was not even a trace of warmth in his laughter, only an icy coldness that could not be dispersed. When Li Ji heard it, she suddenly saw an endless sea of blood and corpses, and she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for those people.
"I am coming too!"
Zheng Ge came to see Zhao Ji just to tell her about this. Zhao Ji naturally understood what Zheng Ge meant, and after a few breaths of silence, she said, "With my health, I don't think I can survive until next year. Since Handan has been captured by the Qin army, I should go back and take a look!"
"Okay!" Zheng Ge responded, and then took Li Ji out.
"and many more!"
Even though Zhao Ji was used to watching her son coming and going so quickly, she still felt a little sad. When Zheng Ge was about to cross the threshold, Zhao Ji suddenly remembered something and tried to persuade him to stay.
"I heard," Zheng Ge paused as Zhao Ji called him, but he did not turn back, waiting for his mother's unfinished words. Zhao Ji looked at Zheng Ge's broad back with burning eyes, and tried to choose the words, "Tian Xuan, who wrote "Hong Huang", returned to Xianyang from Tianzong."
"On the way back to Handan, I hope to take him with me so that I can listen to his stories about the ancient times!"
"can!"
Zheng Ge had heard about Zhao Ji's physical condition from the imperial physician. In addition, Tian Xuan was a child of about ten years old and a smart man. Zheng Ge did not think that Tian Xuan dared and had the ability to have anything happen with Zhao Ji. Therefore, facing Zhao Ji's request, which was almost like a last wish, Zheng Ge thought about it for a while and agreed.
…………
Gululu!
The black carriage from the palace rolled over the bluestone-paved streets, making a low and harsh sound. The carriage was guarded by Qin soldiers in black armor in front, behind, and on both sides. It was obviously just a simple carriage, but as the setting sun completely disappeared into the rolling mountains in the west, it created an iron-blooded atmosphere.
Seeing this, the pedestrians on the street hurriedly stepped aside. Although their eyes were mixed with fear and awe, they were more curious, wondering why a palace carriage appeared at this time when they were about to go to bed. Moreover, judging from the direction the carriage was heading, it was not the residence of Han Fei, Li Si, Wang Wan, Changping Jun and other dignitaries in the court.
Clang!
In the courtyard, Tianxuan held a Cangyue sword that was as tall as him, and an iron-blooded, overbearing aura emanated from his body without restraint. Although he was as still as a mountain, his aura was integrated and untraceable. It was the first of the Ten Bloody Battle Styles - Two Armies Confronting Each Other!
Although his body was as still as a mountain, a sharp energy was brewing from Tianxuan's body and condensed on the sword in his hand, creating a terrifying momentum in the silence that if he did not move, he would not move, but if he moved, he would surely destroy the mountain.
When the momentum was built up to the limit, the Crescent Moon Sword glowed with pure luster in a ray of clear light descending from the sky, and a deafening sword sounded.
call out!call out!call out!
The sound of swords suddenly appeared, and unexpected events occurred one after another.
In the deep night, a series of dark figures suddenly appeared from the sky above the dilapidated courtyard, like evil spirits that wanted to devour human lives. The strange figures crossed the sky, carrying endless murderous aura, and shot towards Tianxuan who was in the center of the courtyard. The endless murderous aura shook the world, causing the temperature in the courtyard to drop sharply, and it was freezing cold.
All the swords were pointed at Tianxuan, aiming at his vital points from a distance.
