: Exorcism

Lanchi

"Cicada? What is this?"

After Ying Zheng personally welcomed Shu Li back, he wanted to follow Shu Li back to her palace.

When Shuli saw that Ying Zheng was not doing his job properly and was still following him, she knew that Ying Zheng missed her too much, so she changed her schedule and came to the small pavilion of [Lanchi].

Ying Zheng sat at the top, Shu Li sat next to Ying Zheng, Shi Lan sat opposite Ying Zheng a little further away, and Zhao Gao stood aside.

Shuli's eyes occasionally turned to Zhao Gao who was standing aside, because the appearance of Zhao Gao now somewhat surprised Shuli.

Compared with Zhao Gao who looked fair and thin three years ago, Zhao Gao now does not look like a macho man, but his dark and rough skin looks like a farmer who has been exposed to the sun all year round.

Coupled with the stretched robe, it was completely impossible to tell that the clothes were always loose on him three years ago.

It seems that the three years of living in Xiqiang made Zhao Gao grow a lot physically.

What hasn't changed is that Zhao Gao still feels trembling when he sees Shu Li now, and he always thinks of three years ago:

That night, that sword, that moment of life and death.

"The high priest of Shushan, Shi Lan." Shu Li introduced to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng turned his gaze from Shu Li to Shi Lan.

"The high priest of Shushan, Xi, I have met the King of Qin." Shi Lan bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng.

"Xi?" Shuli turned to look at Shi Lan doubtfully.

Why didn't she know that Shi Lan was called Xi?

"Shi Lan is the clan name and the title of the leader, but it is not my name." Shi Lan explained to Shuli, "I was born when the sun was setting in the west, so my mother named me Xi."

Shu Li raised her eyebrows.

This naming method is really common.

"I forgot to tell you, [Shu Mountain] is yours now, well, in every sense." Shuli held down Ying Zheng and physically interrupted what Ying Zheng wanted to say, "If you have any questions, you can

Ask Shi Lan, don't ask me, I won't care about this anymore."

"By the way, I want to go see Chang'an Jun." Shu Li added.

If it weren't for frequent accidents and various coincidences, [Shu Mountain] was 'conquered' again, so I would need to take Shi Lan with me to Xianyang.

Otherwise, according to the original plan, she would have taken Jingmu down the river, directly into Chu State, and then arrived at [Jinghu Medical Village], which would have saved a lot of time.

Ying Zheng originally wanted Shu Li to stay in Xianyang and stop running around.

But when Shu Li mentioned Chang'an Jun, he swallowed the words again and finally only managed to hold back one sentence:

"Cicada, please be safe."

Shu Li smiled fondly and patted the back of Ying Zheng's hand gently.

"What are you thinking about? The only person in the world who can threaten me is you, Piggy."

Ying Zheng looked at Shu Li and also smiled.

Zhao Gao quickly turned his head and admired the distant scenery.

I can't see, I can't hear, I can't hear

Shi Lan:()!

I.Should I lower my head and not look?

Shuli stood up and said to Zhao Gao, "Follow me."

Zhao Gao turned his head when he heard Shu Li's voice and realized that it was addressed to him, so he looked at Ying Zheng to ask for his approval.

Ying Zheng nodded, and Zhao Gao followed Shu Li carefully.

In fact, Ying Zheng was a little confused as to why Shuli was hostile to Zhao Gao when they first met.

When he returned to Qin and was at a loss, Zhao Gao was always by his side.

Although the two of them could not treat each other like friends, in the cold palace, he at least had someone beside him who he could talk to and be with him all the time.

At the same time, the clever Zhao Gao also taught Ying Zheng many skills to survive in the palace, although most of them were useless to Ying Zheng.

Moreover, Zhao Gao is capable, diligent and honest, good at thinking, and can read people's faces. As long as it is something he is asked to do, Zhao Gao will handle it properly, with a carefree attitude, which won Qin's favor and also made him very fond of him.

His trust is increased.

Withdrawing his gaze, Ying Zheng looked at Shi Lan.

Not long ago, he asked the people of the Yin and Yang family for detailed information about [Shu Mountain] and learned about various secret rumors about [Shu Mountain].

"The High Priest of Shushan"

On the stone bridge

Shu Li looked at Zhao Gao, who had his head lowered, and said in a cold voice, "You're back so soon? Have you completed the task assigned to you?"

Zhao Gao was not killed at first because Ying Zheng stopped him.

Subsequently, Shu Li saw Zhao Gao's name in [Luo Wang]'s roster and learned that he was actually a pair of eyes sent to Ying Zheng intentionally by [Luo Wang].

[Luowang] tried to use Zhao Gao to subtly induce Ying Zheng to become their puppet.

But I don’t know if it’s because Zhao Gao lacks ability or because Ying Zheng is too wary.

It is also possible that Zhao Gao was moved by Ying Zheng and his conscience found out, so he did not fully follow the orders of [Luo Wang].

In short, as Ying Zheng gradually grew up, not only did he not become what [Luo Wang] wanted, but he also tended to become what they feared.

The ruthless King of Qin, who had been in power for more than fifty years, ordered the death of Bai Qi, the God of War, and tried to use the entire Qin Kingdom as bait to destroy the entire six kingdoms in one fell swoop.

That was the king who made full use of [Luo Yu], the king who made even the ruthless [Luo Yu] admire and fear.

[Luo Wang] gradually saw his shadow in Ying Zheng.

But unfortunately, before they had time to take action, Shuli appeared and reorganized them.

Zhao Gao's heart trembled.

It was only after he returned to Xianyang that he learned that [Luowen] had undergone tremendous changes, and Shuli had become the sole and absolute leader of [Luowen].

He was afraid that Shu Li had learned his true identity and his purpose of getting close to Ying Zheng.

To be honest, he is not afraid of death, which is also the most basic 'quality' of everyone in [Luowen].

However, the sense of powerlessness I felt when facing Shu Li, and the fear that transcended death, was like sinking repeatedly in an endless quagmire of terror.

Can't live, can't die.

"Looking back Queen, the mission has been completed."

Zhao Gao no longer knew whether he should call Shu Li the leader or the queen. He could only try his best to calm his mind, swallowed, and then answered with difficulty.

"Compared to the leader in the darkness, I still prefer the queen in the light." Shu Li confirmed what Zhao Gao would call him in the future, and then said, "Should I call you Zhao Gao, or Que Xie?"

Everyone in [The Net] has no name, the name of the sword is their name.

Kunwu Mountain has a lot of red gold under it, and the color is like fire. In the past, when the Yellow Emperor attacked Chiyou, he sent troops here and dug a hundred feet deep. They still did not reach the spring, but only the fire was like stars. There was a lot of red gold in the ground, and the smelted stone was copper, and the color of the copper was blue.

However, the color of the spring is red, the mountains and trees are all sharp and the swords are sharp, and the soil is also steel and refined. When King Goujian of Yue came, he sent workers with white horses and white oxen to worship the God of Kunwu, and mined gold to cast them into the essence of the Eight Swords.

The seventh of the legendary "Eight Swords of the King of Yue", it is said that ghosts will surrender when they see this sword.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao instantly knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly.

What he was most worried about happened, and Shuli already knew his true identity.

"Get up and answer me." Shuli's voice became colder.

The trembling Zhao Gao kept thinking and said in a serious voice, "Whatever the queen wants the humble post to be, the humble post will be whatever it is. Whether it is Zhao Gao or Qu Xie, it is entirely up to the queen to decide."

"Ah."

Shu Li sneered and withdrew the hand that had gathered her inner strength.

Zhao Gao felt the pressure dissipate, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and almost collapsed.

He had never felt that life was so beautiful.
