Chapter 79 Adding insult to injury
Name: Lao Ai.
Sex: Male.
Identity: eunuch.
Canonization: Changxinhou.
Lao Ai was once a guest of Lu Buwei's mansion, born with supernatural powers, recommended by Lu Buwei to Zhao Ji. Although he is an **** on the surface in the harem, he is actually favored by Zhao Jinan.
Lao Ai had three major achievements in his life.
One is a natural ability, which can perform the "art of turning the wheel".
The second is to put a green hat on the father of Qin Shihuang Yingzheng.
Three is rebellion.
In fact, although there is no substantive evidence for the adultery between Lai Ai and Zhao Ji in the harem, it has actually been heard among the high-level officials of the Qin State.
Of course it couldn't escape the ears of King Qin Yingzheng.
It's just that regarding this matter, no matter whether it is Qin Wang Yingzheng, the royal family, or Qin officials, they all turn a blind eye to this matter.
After all, in the final analysis of this matter, at most, Zhao Ji, as the Queen Mother, was at a loss in personal virtue. A little bigger, that is, a little damage to the face of the Qin royal family.
No one will insist on making the Queen Mother unhappy because of such a trivial matter.
But no one thought that it was not enough to just put a hat on King Zhuangxiang of Qin. Lai Ai and Zhao Ji actually did another big thing in secret.
These two actually secretly gave birth to two brothers for Ying Zheng.
And it was reported.
The nature of the matter has completely changed now.
As the birth mother of King Qin, when King Zhuangxiang of Qin passed away, it was the year of the tiger and wolf. Coupled with the loneliness of living in the harem for a long time, everyone can understand if he does a little absurd thing.
Even Ying Zheng couldn’t blame Zhao Ji on this matter. After all, she was his biological mother. Since ancient times, no son would blame his mother.
But what does it mean that the two of you gave birth to two brothers for the current king of Qin?
Rebel?
The biggest force behind the royal family is the lineage of the family members surnamed Ying.
These people didn't come out to get involved in the rebellion of Chang'an Jun Chengyu.
Because for them, both Yingzheng and Chengyu are of the orthodox bloodline of Ying. When these two fight, no matter who wins or loses, as long as the throne can be guaranteed to be in the hands of the bloodline of Ying.
But now you, a mere lao, dare to give birth to two 'royal families' with different bloodlines from Zhao Ji, which undoubtedly violated the bottom line of the Ying clan.
Lao Ai and Zhao Ji obviously knew the consequences of this incident.
It can be said.
After this incident was exposed, it doesn't matter whether Zhao Ji and Lao Ai have any other thoughts in their hearts, because as soon as some things appear, Ying Zheng and the clan members surnamed Ying must completely kill them .
What's more, when these two children were born, Lao Ai did have a bit of wishful thinking in her heart that "doves occupy the magpie's nest".
So when this incident broke out, Lao Ai's actions were also very decisive. He directly stole the imperial seal of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, and together with his party members in the palace, launched a mutiny and took the "Qinian Palace" where Yingzheng lived. ".
However, King Qin had already received the news secretly, and sent Lord Changping and Lord Changwen to ambush in Xianyang Palace.
The ending after that is self-evident.
Lao Ai's hundreds of soldiers were wiped out by Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, and some of the gangsters he had secretly recruited under his command over the years were also easily pierced by Gai Nie with one sword.
However, Lao Ai seemed to have already prepared a retreat. Just after his mutiny failed, he followed his remaining party members and quietly escaped from Xianyang.
King Qin was naturally furious.
Directly issued a huge reward, whoever captures Lao Ai alive will be rewarded with millions of dollars. If you kill him, you will be rewarded with 500,000 yuan.
As soon as the reward order was issued, countless people in the world were moved by the news and began to track Lai Ai's whereabouts.
But among all the people who are following, whoever is the most anxious person is undoubtedly a 'trap'.
The laws of the State of Qin implemented the system of sitting together.
Lao Ai was recommended by Lu Buwei to Zhao Ji at the beginning.
It is estimated that Lu Buwei never thought that one day he would be implicated like this by Lao Ai. But if Lao Ai's crime is a little bit smaller this time, Lu Buwei can find a way to make the big problem smaller and calm the matter down gradually.
But the problem is that Lao Ai caused too much trouble this time, and rebellion is already a serious crime for the Yi tribe. And this idiot not only wanted to rebel, but also wanted to use the blood of a different surname to completely subvert the rule of the entire Ying clan.
Lu Buwei is indeed not afraid of Ying Zheng now, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't even care about the Ying clans behind Ying Zheng!
The only good thing is that Lai Ai was secretly recommended to Zhao Ji by Lu Buwei, so as long as Zhao Ji can stop her mouth and kill Lai Ai by the way, there will be no substantive evidence for Yingzheng. .
Although this does not completely disregard his connection with Lao Ai.
But at least in the absence of conclusive evidence, Lu Buwei can still leave a glimmer of hope for a comeback.

"My lord, Xiong Da has just sent back news that the ninth son of South Korea has agreed to cooperate with us."
In the back garden, Mo Jun is grooming the Jinpeng bird. Today's Jinpeng bird may really be the same as the medicine ghost guessed, and its blood has returned to its ancestors.
During this period of time, not only did her body grow terrifyingly fast, but she also had brilliant golden feathers, which were even more gorgeous. If it continues to grow at this rate, it may not take long for Jinpeng to be able to fly with people.
"Well! Tell Xiong Da not to pay too much attention to making money. Now his primary goal is to expand channels as much as possible."
"I understand."
Zhanqin nodded and responded.
Recently, during the recent period, Mr. Mo has provided 5,000 pieces of [Sky Sky Pill] to the four major clans every month, and now the price of the Sky Sky Pill in the market is one gold coin or two.
So every month, the four major clans will send Mo Jun a share of 1250 gold coins.
This division seems to have no problem.
However, in fact, not many of the [Sky Sky Pills] that Mo Jun provided to the four major clans will be sold on the market.
Now, the four major clans give Mo Jun the monthly share according to the standard price, but privately, the four major clans have already begun to sell it at a price of one gold coin and one [Qingtian Pill], or even a higher price. black goods.
This has obviously violated the original contract made by the two parties.
But Mo Jun was not too angry, after all, from the very beginning, he didn't believe that the other party would really fulfill the agreement. After all, it is more reliable to count on the reputation of a businessman than to consider which day the sun will rise from the west.
not to mention.
The previous money was earned by Mo Jun for Ying Zheng, but from now on, Mo Jun can use 【Qing Tian Pill】to make money for himself.
The reputation of [Sky Sky Pill] has already been sold through the hands of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, so now Mo Jun can easily sell [Sky Sky Pill] as long as he has enough shipping channels, even without publicity.
Even Mo Jun was able to fight a price war, which in turn ate up the Sifang Chamber of Commerce's market in one go.
After all, up to now, the prescription of [Qingtian Pill] is still in the hands of Mo Jun. Although the four major clans have sent many people to infiltrate the sheriff's mansion to steal the elixirs during this period, these people have now become medicine ghosts and arranged in the 'ten thousand poison formation' outside the medicine garden. The ration of things.
Of course.
If you want to eat the market of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, you can't do it now, or you can't do it.
After all, business means are only part of it. The true background of a chamber of commerce mainly depends on the background behind each person.
"By the way, my lord, there are also news from Senior Black Feather and Sword."
"Oh? What news."
Hearing Zhanqin mention Heiyu and Jian Jiuyuan, Mo Jun immediately turned around.
Mr. Mo has never been a generous person. On the contrary, he is stingy and holds grudges.
So when he got the news of Lao Ai's rebellion and the news that "Luo Wang" sent people to hunt him down, he quickly guessed what Lu Buwei was thinking, so he decisively sent Hei Yu and Jian Jiuyuan out, not for In addition, just to add to the 'trap'.
Tit for Tat.
At the beginning, Lu Buwei gave Mo Jun a knife secretly, but now such a good opportunity to make trouble, how could Mo Jun let it go.
"According to the news sent back by Hei Yu, it seems that Lao Ai and his party now..."
Halfway through speaking, Zhanqin's eyes showed a slight strange look, and then he continued: "I'm fleeing towards the place where Nanjun is."
"Um?"
Mr. Mo turned his head, looked at Zhanqin in surprise, and said, "The news is correct?"
Zhanqin nodded and said: "The news is correct. In fact, not long ago, I also received some news. About a day ago, the rivers and lakes in Nanjun began to stir up trouble again."
"At first, I thought that they were going to harm the adults again, but now it seems that these people should have taken this action to round up Lao Ai."
Hearing this, Mo Jun only thought for a second, and then ordered decisively: "Zhanqin, immediately call three hundred soldiers to follow me out of the mansion."

Longwang Mountain.
This is a low mountain about 20 miles away from Yingdu. It is rumored that someone once saw a dragon haunting this mountain, so the locals named the mountain 'Dragon King Mountain'.
At the foot of Longwang Mountain, a carriage was galloping fast. There was a person sitting in the carriage. His face was fair and beardless, and his brows were handsome, but his temperament was a bit weird, seemingly feminine, yet masculine.
This person is none other than the former Qin State Chang Xinhou, and now the Qin State's most wanted criminal——嫪毐.
Lao Ai sitting in the carriage looked terrified and flustered, sticking out her head and looking behind her from time to time.
Lao Ai was not afraid of Qin's pursuit.
But as a diner under Lu Buwei's family, he knows more about the horror of Lu Buwei and the 'net' than anyone else.
In the past, he had the identity of Qin Guochang Xinhou and Zhao Ji as his backing, so Lai Ai was not afraid of Lu Buwei, and even dared to protest with Lu Buwei in the court.
But now that these two backgrounds have been lost, even though Lai Ai has recruited a lot of followers and staff with his status as Changxinhou these years, he is still full of fear of the terrifying organization of 'Luowang'.
"Quick, faster!"
Lao Ai kept urging in the carriage, but under his urging, instead of accelerating, the carriage gradually slowed down until it finally stopped completely.
Such a situation immediately made Lai Ai frightened and angry, and couldn't help giving a sharp reprimand, saying: "What's going on? Why did the carriage stop, give it to me quickly..."
The words were just halfway through.
Lao Ai's voice came to an abrupt end, like a duck with its neck stuck.
And his expression, from the initial shock and anger, became full of fear.
In front of him, a figure in black armor appeared in front of the carriage at some unknown time. This figure was holding a crimson long sword with a strange shape. After he appeared, the original sky suddenly turned crimson, and the **** aura seemed to cover even the sun in the sky.
The groom driving the carriage fell on the shaft of the car, and at the feet of the black-armored figure, there were also three or four dead bodies. Those masters of the rivers and lakes who were able to subdue Lai Ai, but under the sword of this black-armored figure, they couldn't even make a move. Get over it.
"Tianzi is the first class—covering the sun."
Lao Ai uttered these six words almost trembling lips.
And just as he finished these six words, suddenly, a scream came from a tree not far away, and Lai Ai turned her head to look, just in time to see a figure falling from the tree.
Where the figure was originally standing, a figure wearing a black outfit and holding two long swords, one black and one white, slowly appeared in Lai Ai's field of vision.
Seeing this person, Lai Ai's pupils shrank suddenly, and the face that was already full of fear once again added a bit of despair.
"You Luo Wang really think highly of me, and actually dispatched two first-class assassins at the same time."
"Lao Ai, your path ends here."
Zhiri in front of the carriage obviously had no intention of talking nonsense with Lai Ai, he left a word, and then his figure flashed, and he slashed at Lai Ai directly with his sword.
Facing this sword.
Lao Ai has also practiced a little martial arts, but the main purpose of his practice is to make his body stronger.
So facing the sword that covered the sun, although Lao Ai's eyes could barely keep up with the speed, her body had no time to react, and she could only watch the sword fall towards her neck in despair and horror.
Ding!
Just when Lao Ai was about to separate the head, a black feather suddenly shot out, and with a 'ding' sound, the falling trajectory of the Hiding Sword was instantly disrupted.
"who?"
His gaze changed, and he quickly turned around to look.
What greeted him was a sword pattern like running water, and the sword light swayed from the blue and crystal-clear long sword. The sword's sword intent was so strong and the sword's aura was so domineering that it instantly shrank the pupils of the sun.
clang!
Zhiri hurriedly raised his sword to defend, when the two swords collided, there was a loud noise.
A master duel is a slow step by step, slow step by step. Although the sword was blocked in a panic, the opportunity was lost. In just a split second, more than a dozen sword lights immediately followed.
The black armor, which can only be worn by the elite soldiers of the Qin State, was easily cut open like tofu under the sword light.
Until the end of a round of raids.
Zhiri finally had a chance to distance himself, but at this moment his face under the mask had already turned livid.
The only pair of eyes that can be seen under the sun-shielding mask stared at the one-armed figure that suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and finally spit out a few words: "Gongbu—Jian Jiuyuan."
