I became an NPC in Wuxia Paradise

Chapter 181 Why Did It Suddenly Die This Time?

Two days later, just past noon.

Handan City, Imperial Palace, Zhengyang Palace.

As soon as he retired from the court affairs, Zhao Yuancheng, the emperor of Zhao State, returned to the sleeping hall and lay on his side on the soft collapse.

Admire a group of beautiful women with the style of the Western Regions below, twisting their graceful figures to the sound of silk and bamboo songs.

Every day, I heard those courtiers say that there is a lack of money here, where there is no food, or that the war in Changping has aroused public resentment.

It is recommended to start peace talks with Qin State immediately, even if it is cede land and pay compensation,

Otherwise, if this delay continues, the Qin Congress will not know what will happen, and Zhao Guo will definitely be finished.

What's more, he even asked him to open his small coffers and use some of them to quell public anger!
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a veteran of the three dynasties, that veteran official would have to be chopped up today!

It's better for these beauties, all of them are good-looking, the key is not to disobey him.

"Your Majesty, come and taste these grapes, they are really sweet."

Beside the soft couch, a woman exudes a charming look in her brows,

He pinched a peeled grape with his jade fingers and handed it to his mouth.

Zhao Yuancheng opened his mouth and was about to eat when a young eunuch ran in quickly from outside the hall.

Whispered a few words in the ear of the chief eunuch who bowed to serve His Highness, and handed over a memorial and a jade pendant.

The head servant casually dismissed the little eunuch,

He looked at the emperor, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said:

"Your Majesty! The servant has something important to report!"

"Don't you see I'm busy?"

Just as he was about to eat the grapes handed by his concubine, Zhao Yuancheng said without looking back.

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot wait!"

"To shut up!"

Zhao Yuancheng turned his head and was about to reprimand him: "Why are you so ignorant today?"

"Your Majesty, let's ignore him and continue. This grape is very sweet."

The woman under her was whimpering, and wrapped her arms around Zhao Yuancheng's neck, drawing his attention back.

Zhao Yuancheng immediately rushed to the chief servant and said, "You should step down first, if there is anything to do later..."

But before he finished speaking, the head servant over there said directly: "Your Majesty! This is a major matter concerning the country!"

These words made Zhao Yuancheng startled.

In fact, he knew his chief internal servant very well, knew that the other party could distinguish between the important and the important, and also knew what he liked and hated.

Before, he wondered why the other party was so unreasonable today, and he never thought that the word Guoben would come out of the other party's mouth.

It seemed that the matter was really urgent, so he couldn't ignore it.

Ignoring the beauty's temptation any longer, Zhao Yuancheng turned his head and asked, "Well, what's the matter?"

The head chamberlain knelt on the ground and did not speak directly, but looked around.
That means it is obvious that this matter cannot be heard by other people.

Zhao Yuancheng became more and more curious about what was going on, so he waved his hand,
Under the beautiful woman's resentful eyes, everyone in the hall retreated.

At this time, the chief servant stood up and came to Zhao Yuancheng, saying: "Your Majesty, the battle of Changping has come to an end!"

"The Qin army's 40 troops were all put to death, Qin general Wang Lu died in battle, and Bai Qi surrendered. Our army won a complete victory!"

"It's just... His Highness the Eighth Prince died for his country! This is His Highness's jade pendant..."

"What, what?!"

Zhao Yuancheng was still happy after hearing the first half, which was exactly as he expected at first.

But the following words made him stand up from the bed, snatched the jade pendant from the other party's hand and glanced at it.
When he recognized it as Zhao Kuo's coming-of-age ceremony, he specially ordered someone to carve it, it can't be wrong!

"You, you said that Kuo'er is dead? How is it possible!"

Zhao Yuancheng grabbed the chief servant by the collar and said anxiously:

"There are hundreds of thousands of troops around him, and Lian Po is there to assist him, and the masters of the Yin-Yang Demon Sect of the Xue Lie Sect are protecting him. How could he die!"

"His Majesty!"

The Chief Chamberlain was strangled by his clothes, which made his voice sharper than before:
"The slave doesn't know very well. I only heard that the death of His Highness the Eighth Prince seems to be related to the Xue Lie Sect and the Yin-Yang Demon Sect!"

"For details, please take a look at the memorial sent by General Lian!"

Zhao Yuancheng hastily snatched the memorial from the chief servant's hand, unfolded it with a bang, and began to read it carefully.

As he looked back, Zhao Yuancheng's face became more and more ugly,
When he saw the end, he slammed the memorial on the table in front of him.

The things on the table were fine, but his fat hands were a little red from the shock.

"Good for you Blood Fierce Sect, good for you Yin-Yang Demon Ultimate Sect!"

"I just said that you have never met each other before, and you have to do everything about it."

"How come they are surprisingly consistent in the matter of letting Kuo'er go to Changping?"

"I thought you were thinking about me, but I really think Kuoer is suitable."

"After making a fuss for a long time, it turns out that they are all a group of guys who secretly communicated with the Qin State!"

Speaking of anger, Zhao Yuancheng raised his leg and put it on the table in front of him, wanting to vent.

It's just that he, who had already been hollowed out by wine, not only didn't kick the table to the ground,
On the contrary, he himself was unstable and sat down on the ground, which made the fire in his heart rise even more.

The situation where I feel that I have lost face is caused by those two sects.

Seeing Zhao Yuancheng get angry there, the head servant sneered in his heart,

On the surface, he said in a concerned tone: "Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down. Don't hurt the dragon's body just because of two small sects."

"However, Your Majesty said that they are secretly cooperating with the enemy country. Could the death of the Eighth Highness have something to do with them?"

Zhao Yuancheng was already angry in his heart, and when he heard his beloved son Zhao Kuo was mentioned again, it seemed like adding fuel to the fire.

"Relationship? It's more than a relationship! It's clearly arranged by them!"

"You reminded me. If you dare to betray me and let my beloved son die on the battlefield, I will make them all pay for my son's life!"

"You! Hurry up and call me the commander of the imperial army!"

"Remember, this memorial must be kept secret, don't let anyone know!"

"I don't want Xue Liemen and Yin Yang Demon Extreme Sect to get the news in advance and run away!"

Zhao Yuancheng, whose heart was already filled with anger, completely ignored at this moment that before he saw the memorial,
It is impossible for the head chamberlain to know that Zhao Kuo's death is related to those two sects.
But although he used vague words, he said it out. Where did he hear it?
"By the way, the Great Heavenly Master will also send additional manpower, and he is not allowed to leave the altar for the time being!"

"He also agrees with Kuo'er. Maybe he has a secret relationship with Qin..."

Before he finished speaking, a little eunuch stumbled in and said, "Your Majesty is not well!"

"The Great Heavenly Master said that he had something to ask the envoy sent by General Lian to deliver the letter, but he rushed out of the palace gate without saying a few words!"

"The guards wanted to intercept them, but they were all killed by the Great Heavenly Master!"

"Sure enough, he has problems too! Quick! Send someone to chase after me! If you want to see people, you need to see dead bodies!"

While Zhao Yuancheng issued the order,
The Great Heavenly Master who was involved had already rushed out of Handan City.

He was dressed in a white Taoist robe, with a beard and hair of the same color, and with a well-proportioned appearance, he looked quite a bit of a Taoist master.

In fact, on weekdays, he did appear calm and calm, with the feeling that everything was under control.

But now, panic was evident on his face.

"Shouldn't be!"

"Master told me before leaving, as long as Zhao Kuo leads the troops to Changping."

"Zhao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will be killed by the Qin army led by Bai Qi."

"Why is the ending just the opposite? Even Bai Qi surrendered to Zhao Guo?"

"Those things were clearly right in the past, why did they suddenly fail this time?"

"No, I'm going to ask Master what's going on!"

Recently, I heard rumors in the world that his master became famous because he cut off Dongfang Wuxia's arm.
Thinking about it, it should be near the Moon God Sect now.

After identifying the direction, the Great Heavenly Master galloped away on horseback.
