Chapter 76: Daxia General, Slave of Chu
Lin Wuhui looked down at his elder brother with a stern expression, and reached out to touch his own face, which was easy to look at.
Not to mention, Jiang Mingzhu is really a master of disguise. He even felt a little uncomfortable seeing his own face.
Lin Wuhui took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and looked with complicated eyes at Lin Wuwei, who was riding a horse at the front of the team.
Originally, his elder brother was highly trusted by the King of Chu, who promoted him to the position of commander of the imperial palace guards, and had him carry a sword in front of the emperor to protect the King of Chu.
But a few days ago, my eldest brother firmly refused the marriage proposal from the King of Chu, which displeased the King of Chu, so he was demoted to the Imperial City Division and became a small captain.
Today, my eldest brother was ordered to go out of the city to Jing'an Temple to pick up the Queen Mother of Chu who was praying in the temple.
After waiting for nearly half a year, Lin Wuhui finally got this opportunity.
Lin Wuwei sat on his horse with an upright posture, his eyes scanning the surroundings like an eagle. From the moment he stepped into the White Tiger Street, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
Feeling that something might happen today, he slowed down his pace.
"General Anu," the Empress Dowager's confidant, the chief eunuch Han Lin, rode up to Lin Wuwei, looked at him with disdain and spoke in a bad tone, "The Empress Dowager has been exhausted from the journey, please hurry up, so that the Empress Dowager can return to the palace to rest earlier."
Lin Wuwei glanced at Han Lin coldly and said, "Something is wrong around here. I will have someone go check it out."
"Oh," Han Lin sneered, "General Anu is only a thousand households now, how can he make decisions for the Empress Dowager? General Anu, I advise you to be obedient."
The old eunuch's feminine voice and condescending attitude made Lin Wuwei frown. He felt uncomfortable every time he heard someone call him "Anu".
But he was indeed of humble origin, and now he was only a mere thousand households. How could he be qualified to be the master's boss? Lin Wuwei did not say anything to speed up.
Han Lin snorted coldly, so what about General Xia Gou?
Now, I am still a slave of the Great Chu...
Lin Wuhui heard most of the conversation between Lin Wuwei and Han Lin. He was so angry that he clenched his fists. Damn it.
As soon as he entered Chu, he inquired about Lin Wuhui's situation in Chu. In Chu, his eldest brother was born a slave, and was highly valued by the King of Chu and given the name Anu.
"Anu," Lin Wuhui sneered, "Shui Qiheng, just wait for me."
He took a deep breath and held it, ready to take action as long as the team came closer.
Lin Wuwei frowned and was tense. Hearing a cry from the rear of the team, he turned around abruptly and was about to ride his horse forward to check, when his nose suddenly felt numb.
Before he could react, white smoke rose up all around. Lin Wuhui immediately held his breath and clamped his legs around the horse's belly, wanting to go to the rear of the team to check.
His body suddenly sank, he lost balance and fell off the horse.
Lin Wuwei realized that his horse might have been ambushed, and he fell to the ground with his hands on his head. He struggled to get up and felt an inexplicable stabbing pain on his face.
His eyes felt like they were being pricked by needles and he couldn't open them at all. He also started to lose feeling in his cheeks. He tried several times but couldn't stand up. In a trance, his body felt lighter.
Lin Wuwei felt as if he had grown wings and was flying...
In fact, Lin Wuwei was indeed being carried up into the air by the secret guard at this time. The secret guard, wearing a specially treated face towel, carried Lin Wuwei on his shoulders and flew into an open window on the street.
Seeing that the secret guards had successfully sneaked the man out, Lin Wuhui quickly closed the window and ordered in a deep voice, "Take my eldest brother away first, and leave Yong'an before the King of Chu reacts. Leave two people with me to kill the Queen Mother of Chu."
"Yes."
Lin Wuhui put on the anti-gas mask and could vaguely see the Empress Dowager and her entourage shrouded in white fog through the specially treated fog-hiding veil.
At this time, both people and horses were knocked unconscious by the white fog and could not move.
The white fog was very strange, and he didn't know how it happened, but it seemed to have weight. Even when the wind blew outside, the white fog did not dissipate, and he was shocked.
Ouyang Nanxin is a lustful girl, but she is really good at using poison.
Not daring to delay, Lin Wuhui brought two secret guards and quickly came to the Queen Mother's carriage. He raised his sword and collected some interest from the King of Chu.
Before leaving, he took care of Han Lin who was lying outside the carriage...
The group of people waited like a rock for more than half a year, and when they left, they were like ghosts.
Lin Wuhui ran towards the city gate and asked the secret guard beside him, "Can the Chu family's things be delivered today?"
"Yes," the secret guard said solemnly, "It has been confirmed. The items will be delivered before dusk today at the latest."
"Haha," Lin Wuhui felt a little sorry that he couldn't see the wonderful expression on King Chu's face after seeing those things, "speed up."
"Yes."
At this time in the Chu Imperial Palace, King Shui Qiheng of Chu was discussing with his court officials about taking advantage of the new King of Xiliang's ascension to the throne to do something to reap some benefits.
As they were discussing, a senior eunuch came in hurriedly to report, "Your Majesty, someone has placed six boxes at the door of the imperial study."
"Box?"
The eunuch shivered and wiped the sweat off his face. "Old slave, I asked the guard to open it and take a look. Yes, yes,"
Shui Qiheng was very impatient, he raised the brush in his hand and threw it over, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you can't speak, then forget about it."
The eunuch trembled even more violently, kneeling even lower, "Reply, reply Your Majesty, the box contains the heads of Wang Han, Zhang Dayi, Zhuge Mao and others."
"what?"
Shui Qiheng's eyes were wide open with anger, and the court officials who were discussing the matter fell silent. Shui Qiheng waved his hand and the court officials hurriedly retreated.
"Give me the things," he clenched his fists, his eyes were red and his teeth were almost broken by him, "present them to me."
He almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth. The eunuch did not dare to delay and presented the boxes.
There were six ordinary lacquered wooden boxes with people's names carefully engraved on them.
The eunuch kept wiping his sweat with his sleeves, but he didn't dare not speak. "Your Majesty, these boxes have been checked and nothing unusual is found."
"Open."
Shui Qiheng's voice was calm.
The eunuch immediately stood up, suppressed his fear, steadied his hands and quickly opened the wooden box. Six familiar faces came into Shui Qiheng's eyes.
Although these six people grew up in Xia Country, someone would send their portraits to Shui Qiheng every year, so he was not unfamiliar with these six people.
After checking them one by one, Shui Qiheng swept the six wooden boxes away and shouted, "Who? Where is the person who delivered the things? Where is the person?"
He roared and looked at the chief eunuch. It was unclear whether the chief eunuch was too scared or he knew he was going to die so he calmed down.
"Your Majesty, these things suddenly appeared at the door of the imperial study, and no trace of the person who delivered them was found."
Today, Shui Qiheng wanted to discuss the affairs of Xiliang with his confidants, so he specifically instructed that no one should be allowed outside the imperial study.
The person who delivered the gift took advantage of the loophole, but there were imperial guards on duty all around the imperial study, so how did that person deliver the gift without anyone noticing?
Shui Qiheng frowned, and a chill gradually spread down his spine. "Someone, come and thoroughly check the palace for me."
"Yes."
"Your Majesty," a eunuch came to report, "urgent news from the border."
