The Queen Mother, who had always ignored political affairs, suddenly started to intervene in government affairs.
The first order was to confer Lao Ai as a long-term minister, grant him a fief, and give him great rewards.
The second order is to let Changxin exercise the power of regency, and all the directors will be decided by Lao Ai.
The third order states that when the King of Qin meets Marquis Changxin, he will be honored as "Fake Father" if he meets Marquis Wenxin.
The issuance of the last order made people feel as sick as swallowing a fly.
The temples of the State of Qin began to go crazy, especially when the gentle and elegant Lu Buwei saw the tall, robed and crowned Lai Ai for the first time and wanted to co-manage the government affairs with him.
It's like the rice bugs in the rice vat that cannot be washed away or shaken off.
Lu Buwei, who had always remained calm and calm about the Yellow River Battle, finally began to look livid.
The weird thing is.
The Qin King Ying Zheng, who was supposed to be young and vigorous, reacted as usual.
He called Lao Ai his false father as usual, and watched Lu Buwei and Changxin Hou Lao Ai fight in court as usual.
Even when Lao Ai Yiying was teaching the affairs of the temple to his ungrateful and illiterate disciples, Ying Zheng remained indifferent, as if he were watching a group of ridiculous actors.
The King of Qin could endure it, but Lu Buwei, who had worked so hard to manage the state of Qin, could not endure it.
This is his merit, his karma.
His all, his all.
How can you allow a great Yin person to get involved?
He sent the best swordsman in the world to Yongcheng to assassinate Lao Ai, but what he didn't expect was that he returned without success every time.
Even the next day, what was strange was that the corpses of the swordsmen with severed limbs and heads were still neatly placed beside his bed.
Lao Ai has become so arrogant that even Lu Buwei is helpless.
Lu Buwei even wanted to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, but unfortunately, for the first time, he was rejected.
The current chaos in the Qin State has caused the six countries in Shandong to be ready to take action and come over to submit their plans for conquest.
In short, it was to support Lao Ai and let him kill the Qin Zongshi and several Qin veterans, so that the King of Qin would have no one to use and he would be defeated without attacking.
The Queen Mother disrupted the government and the eunuchs brought disaster to the country.
After two years of chaos, the seemingly impregnable Xianyang City is like a pile of loose sand, waiting for somewhere to collapse and for the building to collapse.
*
The palace door opened with a bang, and several bearded men rode out from inside. They held riding whips and whipped the horses under them hard. Their faces were dark, their hair was messy, and they had a vulgar and arrogant air that made people frown.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of here!"
"If you dare not give in to Marquis Chang Xin's car, I will kill you, hahaha!"
"Go away, you bunch of plagued dead pigs, you are looking for death!"
"You can hit him to death!"
Lightning flashed everywhere, and the ground cracked open. The streets of Xianyang City were already bustling with activity. However, this sudden noise caused baskets to overturn and mules and horses to neigh.
During the stampede of the people, several people were hit hard on the ground.
Chaotic shouts, angry shouts, and screams came and went one after another.
There were even little children standing there crying, "Oh, oh, oh, daddy, mommy."
Soon, a kind-hearted old Qin man took the child away from the center of the street.
Baitao was sitting in the private room of the refreshment shop, taking in all this. She said to the people around her: "As you said, there is no big demon in Xianyang City except me. I will let you take a good look at it today."
Zheng Guo, despite the strange looks from the maidservants around him, was still chewing on the bark of the tree: "Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! It's impossible, the demon race is no longer good, how can there be so many big demons, Xianyang City has you." It’s rare enough, not to mention I don’t smell any evil spirit.”
"That means you won't go to court."
"Go to court?"
Zheng Guo was surprised, "Have all the monsters now come to the mortal world to go to court?"
Baitao rolled her eyes, "It's already been two years since you went to court on my territory and made this place a mess. What do you think?"
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one land cannot tolerate two tigers.
Demon.
She thought it was annoying enough that her territory was being invaded, but she didn't expect to tell Zheng Guo, a stupid beaver, that a big demon was coming. A big demon was coming. He didn't believe anything he said.
There was no way, Lao Ai often stayed in Yongcheng without moving, and she didn't know what she was doing while hatching eggs.
She could only take the opportunity of Lao Ai coming to Xianyang and take him to the street to see him first.
"Click, click, click, click..."
Zheng Guo continued to look at him strangely despite the maid's strange gaze, and then gnawed on a branch nonchalantly, "It's impossible, absolutely impossible, at least I'm alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a four-horse bronze chariot rumbling up the street downstairs. Under a six-foot bronze umbrella, two imperial officials stood on the left and right, and the one standing upright in the middle was Changxin Hou Lao Ai.
His face is unmistakable.
He is tall, with a long sword at his waist and a jade crown on his head. At this time, he is looking straight ahead.
Sensing the two demons' prying eyes, Lao Ai's pupils shrank and she pierced towards their teahouse like a sharp blade.
Giant pythons were entrenched in the teahouse, seemingly threatening.
Baitao already had taut fox fur all over her body. After learning about the existence of the great demon, she worked hard on practicing magic every day without slacking off at all. Now she was reciting Tushan's spell urgently and skillfully.
Kneading the secret with your fingers and chanting a few words in a low voice can dispel the illusion.
However, the snake demon was simply threatening and did not act in earnest.
After the illusion dissipated, Baitao broke out in a cold sweat. She asked Zheng Guo, "Did you see it?"
Zheng Guo was still biting half of a branch, but it was obvious that his two rows of teeth were shaking non-stop, "Hey, darling, what... is this?"
Bai Tao: "How many years did you just say you lived?"
Zheng Guo's eyes involuntarily darted to the bottom of the table, wishing he could hide now, "Me, me, me, me." He covered his face tightly, "Hey, hey, hey, what should I do, what should I do, I can't beat you at a glance, and I can even eat beavers." , otherwise I’d better go back to my South Korea. This Qin country is not easy to live with at first glance. I’m losing my hair if I’m under too much pressure.”
Baitao: "."
She silently held up the tea cup on the table that was about to be shaken off by him, "As a demon, can you be successful? Don't be scared out of your wits."
"What's more important, career or life?"
Baitao looked down at Lao Ai who had averted his eyes: "He is so high-minded, he must know our existence. He shouldn't kill us for the time being. He was just threatening. If he wanted to kill us, we would not be able to survive long ago."
Zheng Guo picked up the water-detecting iron ruler he had placed next to him and ran away, "No, no, no, no, no, I really have to leave."
"return."
Baitao grabbed his waist.
Unexpectedly, this guy was very determined. With a pull, his back was directly exposed, and the young man's lean waist was exposed.
Zheng Guodong has been a man for so long, but he still knows his integrity. Now he can't get out of the house at all.
Zheng Guo suddenly looked back, "Hey."
He let out a scream of shame like a beaver, leaned against the wall and sat down, extremely decadent, "If I don't leave, I've already seen you all, and all the monsters have no reputation."
Baitao: "."
Where did the fairies get their fame?
The deaf-mute maids serving around him were also stunned and stood aside helplessly.
Baitao put down the cloth, waved for them to leave first, walked over to him and said, "You really don't want to leave?"
Zheng Guo showed a blank expression for a moment, "Hey."
Baitao: "Speak in human language."
"Actually - when I took two steps out, I didn't even know where I was going."
He habitually pulled out a branch from his body and chewed it, but he put it down without interest.
"Now I am working as a plumber in Qin, living in the bustling mortal world. The old Qin people here are simple and hospitable. I have also found the joy of life. I can go back."
"Are you going back to Hanshui to stay?"
"It's nothing more than sawing wood, building dams, and building nests. But I have been doing these things day in and day out for thousands of years.
The dams built are just for living in such a nest, and I can no longer find any meaning. "
"Even if I stay in Qin and die now, let's just die. I will be quite satisfied with my death."
Baitao tilted her head: "You actually still have such awareness? Are you staying here and growing up like me?"
"I have lived for thousands of years and have grown up long ago. I am nothing like you."
Zheng Guo said awkwardly, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, King Qin is very good. He recognizes me very much. You are also very good to me. You appreciate me very much. That red-haired snake demon has not harmed me yet. If I had fled just because of fear." , indeed it shouldn’t be.”
Baitao: "?"
Red-haired snake demon?
She quickly went to see Lao Ai downstairs. Lao Ai stood under the umbrella with a normal expression and seemed unable to hear.
Zheng Guoyi trembled, and then said: "The most important thing is that I don't have a good life for a few decades anyway. If I die at the hands of other demons now, then... just stay, I won't run away Already."
Baitao was confused: "You don't have a few decades to live? Aren't you a demon? We demons and humans have different life spans."
"It's the end of the road."
Zheng Guo said bitterly, "Now the demon has only one way to go, and that is to consume itself and then become an ordinary beast in the mountains."
Baitao was startled and went to see Lao Ai again, only to see him kneeling and worshiping on the bronze chariot, so he boldly asked, "How could this happen?"
"Do you still remember the carp I gave you last time? The carp has already become a spirit, but its demon power has collapsed and returned to chaos."
Zheng Guodao, "In a few hundred years, maybe not even a few hundred years, all the monsters in this world will be gone."
Baitao frowned and asked, "Is there any other way?"
Zheng Guo shook his head, "No, all monsters are waiting for death."
He paused and murmured, "Unless a demon can become a human instead of a demon...? No, no, a demon can't be a human, but it can... still become a god!"
He suddenly said: "By the way, the demon can escape the fate of death as long as he becomes a god, but - the demon became a god more than five hundred years ago during the Yin and Shang Dynasties. How can he become a god now? Hey, hey, I It’s better to just die.”
After he said this.
Baitao thought of something, and then related the reason why Lao Ai entered Qin, and made a guess, "I know what Lao Ai might want to do."
"Which Lao'ai?"
"It's the red-haired snake monster you mentioned, the red-haired one in the car."
"Oh, red hair."
Baitao continued to guess: "Maybe he wants to eat King Qin and become a god."
Zheng Guo shook his head, "No, no, your majesty is extremely domineering, and you have great luck. If your Majesty resists, the goblins cannot persecute him at all. What's more, he is the king of a country, and persecution will be punished by God."
Baitao remembered that she and her brother had discussed the matter of raising the human emperor until he could be enshrined in Zen, and she was a little embarrassed, "Then I can't think of what Lao Ai's purpose is in staying in the Qin country besides coveting the King of Qin."
After all, no demon wants to come to the mortal world simply to go to court.
Zheng Guo shook his lips: "You, a smart vixen, can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out even more."
This does not mean that he is smart or not, but that Lao Ai's motives are really too vague. In the past two years, apart from being arrogant and domineering, he has not shown any signs of taking action.
A feeling of extreme ominousness arose in Baitao's mind.
But the feeling of not being able to figure it out really made her very confused.
She glared angrily at Lao Ai, who was sitting on the bronze chariot below, "Why did he come to Qin? He's so annoying. If I'm better than him, I'll roll him into noodles and throw him around for fun."
Zheng Guo's peaceful life was broken, and he also said angrily: "Yes, it's all the fault of this red-haired snake demon!"
"Roll it into noodles and play with it?"
While they were talking, Lao Ai, who was in the bronze chariot at some unknown time, appeared and sat on the table where they had just been.
Lao Ai raised her eyes, and her fleshy hand was holding a jade cup, which instantly turned into powder.
The powder leaked from his fingertips.
During the leak, countless steaming demonic energy spread out from his dark red robe, and the corner of his mouth curved, which looked pleasing to the eye, "You still call me a red-haired snake demon?"
White peach, Zheng Guo: "."
Two goblins were caught on the spot.
Baitao felt a chill crawling from his feet to his head. He really couldn't understand how he could move from the ground to the restaurant so quickly. Was he really still a demon?
This kind of speed may not even be possible by an immortal.
While paying attention to Lao Ai, she secretly glanced at the street from the corner of her eye.
I saw a "Lao Ai" standing upright on the street, and the people around him were bowing their heads and worshiping him, motionless.
It turns out that the illusion just now was not broken, he was just creating a trap.
What a terrifying method? !
Zheng Guo was even worse. He kept retreating back with a fearful posture, trying his best to suppress his voice, "You have all kinds of evil obstacles on your body, and you... you have killed people."
"Yes." Lao Ai's voice was light and airy, "The mortal world is really interesting. I learned to speak, to laugh, and to kill. What? Are you still afraid that I will kill you?"
Bai Tao clenched her teeth and quickly stood in front of Zheng Guo.
As her heart raced, she only heard her own calm voice, "What on earth are you going to do?"
"do what?"
Lao Ai lowered her eyelashes, looked at the two golden bells tied to her ankles, and then said slowly, "One wants to use me to make dough, and the other calls me a red-haired snake demon. Tell me, I still want to do it." What?"
