The blowing wind was a bit cold and hard. Even though he had been prepared for it, Ying Chengyu still didn't see Zhao Gao's movements clearly.
He is only a short distance away from the highest force of this era, but this short distance is a natural chasm.
Pull away, retreat, trade space for time.
The distance between the two is still getting closer, but Ying Chengyu's body is ready to cope with the passage of time.
This is not the first time he has fought against top players - Yue Nu, Lu Goujian, and Gai Nie.
His rich combat experience means that even if he doesn't draw his pistol, he will not be killed instantly by Zhao Gao.
When Zhao Gao saw that Ying Chengyu did not draw his gun, he was puzzled and immediately attacked.
The strong wind brought by the hands is like a small tornado, and the fingers like silver hooks snap, point, poke, and press, and every drop is like a huge weight.
Ying Chengyu's internal energy circulated throughout his body, and he did not defend himself under Zhao Gao's offensive, but used defense instead of attack. His punches and kicks were both peaceful and majestic.
Like the turbulent waves of the sea in a violent storm, shoulders are lifted, elbows are thrown, fists are struck, and palms are slapped. There was no part of his body that could not be used as a weapon, and he fought wildly with Zhao Gao.
In the side hall of Zhangtai Palace, the two of them were as nimble as two apes and as fierce as two tigers.
One's attack is more feminine and ghostly, taking the path of lotus blooming in a square inch, and thunder striking wherever it lands.
One's attack is like the bright sun. You cannot look directly at it. Every movement of your hands and feet is very loud. I tell you clearly that if you don't dodge or block this move, your bones will be broken and your muscles will be broken if you hit it.
The two fought for dozens of rounds in less than half a minute.
In the eyes of the First Emperor, the situation should be one-sided, but in the end, Ying Chengyu only had a slight disadvantage, and seemed to be able to fight Zhao Gao 50-50.
When did this Zhu Zi master his martial arts to such an extent? I'm telling you why he's been so confused recently and made big mistakes all the time. It turns out he's wasting all his good time on this reckless man's path!
The First Emperor's expression became even worse. The First Emperor, who had never cared much about personal prowess, did not appreciate Ying Chengyu's martial arts.
"Gai Nie, aren't you going to help Cheng Xi?"
"Is your Majesty giving orders to Nie?"
Looking into the Juggernaut's expectant eyes, the First Emperor paid attention to the situation, with a flash of regret in his eyes.
Qingrou said fiercely: "Chenglong is in danger, Zhao Gao can be killed!"
The sword master looked away in disappointment.
How could the young master be in danger? Although his martial arts was not good, he was still able to defend his vital points against the bladeless Zhao Gao.
It hurts so much. If he could fight the enemy with just his hands without weapons, Zhao Gao would be invincible...
Ying Chengyu frowned slightly.
His thighs, calves, upper arms, forearms, waist and abdomen, chest and back all had pain that penetrated deep into his flesh. This was the result of Zhao Gao's fierce offensive. This was the price he paid for attacking instead of defending.
Of course, even if he concentrates on defense, he will only suffer less injuries, and he will still be unable to defeat him.
"How can the quick success of "Yellow Emperor" be compared to my years of hard work? Although Lord Chang'an is protected by soft armor, the soft armor can block the strong force, but it cannot block the internal force. Lord Chang'an is still able to capture him with bare hands. Your Majesty and you The love between brothers is deep and there will be no embarrassment.”
Zhao Gao noticed that Ying Chengyu's attack was weakening, and said with a smile, he hit the two index fingers of his right hand and formed a sword point to quickly hit Ying Chengyu's chest, where he had hit five times in a row.
This attack was successful again, for the sixth time.
Ying Chengyu felt a tightness in his chest, but everything he was thinking was clear.
"Enough fun."
He pulled away and whispered softly.
Zhao Gao stayed close to him, but his expression suddenly changed after a moment, and he hurriedly attacked.
However, Ying Chengyu turned his attack to defense and blocked most of Zhao Gao's attack at the cost of having blue hands and swollen arms.
"Secret Guard."
Ying Chengyu stopped drinking while parrying Zhao Gao's offensive.
The gate of Zhangtai Palace opened wide, and a group of secret guards wearing black clothes and black scarves rushed in and launched an offensive against Zhao Gao, replacing Ying Chengyu.
Each of these secret guards is highly skilled in martial arts. The basis for becoming a secret guard is to be able to defeat the King of Qin's elite warrior - the Iron Eagle Swordsman - in single combat.
One or two secret guards, top masters like Zhao Gao would not take them seriously and kill them every minute.
However, dozens of hidden guards came together, forming complementary formations and attacking fiercely. Zhao Gao could only parry but had no power to fight back.
After dozens of breaths.
After paying the price of dozens of secret guards bleeding from their arms and suffering internal injuries, Zhao Gao was defeated.
The black eunuch's uniform was in pieces, barely covering his body, and was covered in bruises.
The eight secret guards worked together to seal his body's energy channels, and pressed him to the floor in a kneeling position, rubbing his right cheek against his chest.
The dormitory was in a mess, and all the objects that could be used to improve the age were smashed. Ceramic shards were scattered everywhere, and sawdust residues were scattered everywhere.
"Zhuzi, you!"
When the First Emperor saw that the secret guard who was supposed to protect his safety turned against him, he spoke angrily, but was suddenly stopped by Ge Nie's cross-arm.
His anger became even more intense and he was about to get angry at Gai Nie, saying, "No wonder you didn't step forward to capture this Shuzi. You are also the insider of this Shuzi's conspiracy!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I and Zhao Gao are between brothers and cannot protect your Majesty under a group of secret guards."
Gai Nie interrupted the First Emperor's casting of spells with a word.
Ying Chengyu walked up to Zhao Gao, his eyes full of murderous intent, his fingers curled, he wanted to reach into his arms several times, he took out his pistol and fed Zhao Gao a peanut.
"You have been very courteous to me for so many years, but you have danced so happily recently, and you have become my enemy several times. Zhao Gao, what are you planning? Do you want to regain Zhao?"
"Rebellious ministers and traitors! Your Majesty treats you very kindly! If His Majesty hadn't trusted you completely, you would have been executed long ago!"
Zhao Gaoyuan opened his eyes, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and with a sound, he spat a mouthful of bloody saliva on Ying Chengyu's boots.
Ying Chengyu sneered, wiped his boots clean on Zhao Gao's body, took out a pistol from his arms and pointed it at Zhao Gao's head.
"How dare you, Shuzi!"
The First Emperor pushed aside Gai Nie, walked forward like a dragon and a tiger, walked in front of Ying Chengyu, and separated Zhao Gao and Ying Chengyu.
His intention is self-evident, to protect Zhao Gao.
Gai Nie has been following the First Emperor with an expressionless face and a three-foot green peak in his hand.
"Since it's the emperor's wish, let's let him live."
Ying Chengyu put the gun into his arms and chuckled.
"Brother Huang is so bold today. Is it Gai Nie who is behind you or Zhao Gao who is lying down for you to rely on?"
The First Emperor's face became more and more ugly, and what Ying Chengyu said was exactly what he had said to Ying Chengyu before.
"I gave up the throne, but Xianyang Palace didn't say so. When did the emperor have the illusion that Xianyang Palace was his own?"
Ninety-nine percent of the secret guards are concentrated in Xianyang Palace, and the highest order person of all the secret guards is Ying Chengyu.
With these secret guards who are strong in individual combat and proficient in combined attacks, Ying Chengyu's words are not an exaggeration.
"You want me to abdicate and take your throne back, you idiot. Come on!"
The First Emperor pointed at Ying Cheng and shouted loudly. The obscene clothes he wore actually made him feel awe-inspiring and inviolable.
"Ying Zheng, you are not a child anymore, why don't you understand now? When you ascended the throne and were suppressed by Lu Buwei, did anyone listen to what you said?
"Now you are also a king, and you are suppressed by me in Xianyang Palace. Life and death depend on me. What can you do? The title of king is not important, but the strength is important."
If I gather all the officials, you won't even be able to get close to me!
The First Emperor was so angry that he trembled all over.
Ying Chengyu turned his neck and waved his hand to signal the secret guard to release Zhao Gao.
The secret guard did as he was told, but Zhao Gao stood up and was about to attack, when a white light flashed before his eyes, and a sharp sword was placed on his neck.
"Don't bring trouble to Your Majesty."
Gai Nieyan said.
Sheath the sword and lower it.
Zhao Gao, who was in ragged clothes, had strong hatred in his eyes, but after looking at the eyes around him that were staring at him with eager eyes, he could only lower his hands and clench his teeth.
He made up his mind to get rid of the secret guards in the palace as soon as today's incident is over!
Ying Chengyu glanced at Zhao Gao with a half-smile, and took out the hand that was in his arms.
He waved his hand and asked the secret guards to come behind him, and they did so.
Seeing this scene, the First Emperor felt hatred in his heart.
"Originally, I wanted to get through to you and work together, but what happened today made me understand that I can't get through to you. Whether I sit on this throne or not, I am the king.
"Don't worry, I won't steal your seat. I, the secret guard, have taken you away, and Xianyang Palace will give it to you. If my brother still wants to sit on this throne and wear that imperial robe, just pretend that he didn't see what happened today."
Ying Chengyu stood up and was about to leave, when he saw Gai Nie standing beside the First Emperor and smiled.
"If the secret guards hadn't listened to my orders, today would have really turned over. Sword Master, just follow me and let's talk about how the emperor brainwashed you."
"vertical……"
The First Emperor opened his mouth with an angry look on his face, but the acupoints on Zhao Gao's back were sealed and he couldn't speak. He didn't know what he wanted to say.
Ying Chengyu glanced at Zhao Gao with admiration, as if to say he had made progress and had some discernment.
The night falls.
There is no moon and little light tonight.
A group of secret guards, dressed in black clothes that were darker than the night, followed Ying Chengyu and filed out of Zhangtai Palace. Among them was Gai Nie, who was wearing white clothes.
Pa~
"How dare you seal me!"
The First Emperor slapped Zhao Gao on the face and rushed out of Zhangtai Palace to ask a group of people to block Xianyang Palace and summon the Lang officials to arrest Ying Chengyu.
"His Majesty!"
Zhao Gao blocked him with his body and knelt down in front of the First Emperor, bursting into tears.
"Do it!"
"There are still twenty-three secret guards outside the palace. Your Majesty is not allowed to leave Zhangtai Palace!"
The First Emperor kicked Zhao Gao to the ground, and stepped forward with murderous intent in his eyes.
"I don't believe this guy dares to kill me!"
Zhao Gao climbed up and hugged one thigh of the First Emperor, with tears streaming down his face.
"The ambition of Lord Chang'an is clear. Your Majesty must not take any personal risks!"
"Get away!"
The First Emperor threw Zhao Gao away with one kick. He just didn't believe that Qin Shihuang's reckless move would be detrimental to him when he ran over and exclaimed when he saw him for the first time.
Zhao Gao jumped up, controlled the First Emperor's acupuncture points and meridians, restrained the First Emperor, and bowed down in front of the First Emperor's murderous gaze.
"Your Majesty will be tolerant for the time being. Once Your Majesty is safe, your Majesty will decide whether to kill or behead any important person."
Xianyang Palace has two defenses, one light and one dark.
Ming is a Langguan.
Patrols are conducted with passwords. Anyone who fails to tell the password that is always changed can be killed on the spot. It is extremely strict.
Dark is the dark guard.
Compared with the public officials, the number of secret guards is not large but they are all elite. Everyone has a copy of the sergeant's order in his arms, and he can take over the position if necessary.
Therefore, a group of people were walking in Xianyang Palace. Although they were routinely questioned countless times by Lang Guan, they were always safe and there was no conflict or fight.
"Pooh!"
Not long after leaving Zhangtai Palace, Ying Chengyu vomited a mouthful of blood at a flower bush. The color was dark.
Ying Chengyu wiped his mouth with his sleeve and looked unhappy.
"Damn, it hurts so much. It takes two blows to kill the eunuch."
Gai Nie is serious about his words.
"Young master, if you spit out this mouthful of blood in the palace, your internal injuries will not be so serious."
"Do you know that when Zhao Gao beat me and vomited blood, I lost my rank? How can I pretend to be cool after vomiting this blood? Why don't you stop me?"
"The young master has a gun in his arms, and the secret guards outside the palace have arrived early. The young master insists on fighting the secret guards and is asking for trouble. No one else can blame him."
After a pause, Gai Nie slightly twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"Young master often said that when you fight against Nie, Lu Gong and others, you don't feel the danger of life and death. Are you enjoying yourself today?"
"Don't make fun of me here. That damn eunuch has never been cruel. I don't believe you can't tell. From your perspective, how much force did Zhao Gao use this time?"
"Young Master had a gun as a deterrent. He didn't dare to hide his clumsiness. He used ten percent of his strength to capture Young Master. If he had been a few dozen breaths later, he would have been captured if he didn't have a sharp knife in his hand."
Ying Chengyu nodded and rubbed the area on his chest that had been hit continuously to relieve the severe pain in his heart.
"Then it's not in vain that Fei Naigong was so seriously injured. Wei Zhuang, give your soft armor to your senior brother."
A secret guard appears who looks indistinguishable from other secret guards, but if you open the black scarf wrapped around his head, you can see that he has a head full of white hair.
Wei Zhuang handed Gai Nie a baggage and retreated into the secret guard team.
Gai Nie was indifferent to the title of senior brother. He had nothing to do with the secret guard next to him who was named Wei Zhuang by Ying Chengyu and had congenital gray hair.
But Ying Chenglong kept yelling like this every time. He corrected him, but Ying Chenglong didn't listen, so he didn't bother to say more. Anyway, it wouldn't delay his sword practice.
"This is the latest soft armor created by scientists. I call this a body armor. It is difficult for bullets to penetrate. You can hand it to the emperor for me."
"...Young master, did you risk your life just to test whether the treasure armor can defend Zhao Gao?"
Ying Chengyu shook his head.
"It can't be said that he is putting himself in danger. Zhao Gao will not kill me in front of the emperor today unless he wants to die. Today is just a test.
"Experiments have proven that with a bulletproof vest on him, Zhao Gao cannot kill anyone within three to five strikes. Zhao Gao is like this, and those so-called martial arts masters cannot hurt the emperor brother at all."
Gai Nie frowned slightly, with a rare change in facial expression. He could hear the feeling of explaining the funeral affairs from Ying Chengxuan's words.
"Young Master is seriously ill? Can't it be cured by medicine or stone?"
Poof~
Ying Chengyu was already suffering from internal injuries, but he was so angry at Gai Nie's words that he spurted out another mouthful of blood, wiped his mouth and cursed loudly.
"Get out of here, Nai Gong! If you can't speak, just shut up and act like a mute!"
Ying Chengyu took out a brand new pistol from his arms, smashed it into Gai Nie's hands, and took out a letter and stuffed it into Gai Nie's arms.
He said angrily: "I'm just leaving Xianyang. It's not fun to have anything in this wretched place. I've had enough. Give the pistol, letter, and body armor to Brother Huang privately, and ask him to be careful and not die."
Genie recognized the last of the three pistols in his hand.
After more than ten years of intensive research and development, it is a pistol that can be used in practical applications without exploding the chamber.
The Mohists, together with the public losers and skilled craftsmen, made three of them with just one hand.
One Ying Chenglong for personal use, one for scientists to defend themselves, and the last one is the one in Gai Nie's hand.
"Young master, you'd better ask someone else to give it to you. Nie will do it with you."
Genie handed back the pistol.
Ying Chengyu pushed back.
"Help me take care of it. I don't trust that there is no one around the emperor brother. The emperor's sister-in-law can't keep an eye on the emperor brother all the time. Zhao Gao is hiding too deep..."
Gai Nie frowned and asked in confusion: "Then just kill him? Young Master is afraid of His Majesty's objection?"
"Kill him, who will protect the emperor brother? So far, he has never done anything to regret the emperor brother. I can kill Zhao Gao, but maybe the next person trusted by the emperor brother is not as good as Zhao Gao... …”
