Du Gang knelt on the ground, trying to keep his mind calm.
Of course, these are all prepared remarks before.
Whether judging from historical records or comprehensive analysis of various factors, "slight flaws in black jade" are the only excuse to get close to Emperor Yan Ling.
If it weren't for the imperfections on the black jade that were difficult to detect with the naked eye and needed to be pointed out in person, an ordinary person who presented the treasure would never have had any chance of getting close to the emperor.
But the problem is that Emperor Yan Ling didn't know about Mo Yu's slight flaw at the beginning.
Therefore, when Emperor Yan Ling learned about this matter, his mood must have fluctuated!
This kind of fluctuation may be the anger of being cheated, the disappointment of failed expectations, or the vigilance of discovering something abnormal...
In short, once the concept of "black jade with slight flaws" is proposed, it will inevitably cause Emperor Yan Ling's mood swings, which will most likely lead to failure!
Many players were stuck in this place before.
Most players know the specific rhetoric. Even Du Gang, a person who doesn't know much about history, has made similar attempts.
But they all undoubtedly failed.
It's just like magic. There is a huge gap between knowing the principles of magic and becoming a magician.
The set of procedures prepared by Du Gang was of course carefully studied.
First, he opened the wooden box directly in the main hall and revealed the black jade unicorn, which firmly caught the eye of Emperor Yan Ling and diverted his attention. Then, when Emperor Yan Ling couldn't wait to take the Moyu Qilin in his hand and play with it, he suddenly knelt down to admit his mistake and told the fact that the Moyu Qilin was defective.
As a result, Emperor Yan Ling's mood will still fluctuate, but this fluctuation is within a controllable range.
Because Emperor Yan Ling had already seen Mo Yuqilin's appearance, and his attention had been drawn to it, he would naturally be more eager to know where the flaw was.
As for the matter of Mo Yu's slight flaw, to put it more seriously, it was a crime of deceiving the emperor, because he did not tell it at the beginning. Therefore, it is necessary etiquette to kneel down and admit your mistakes.
Without this step, it would appear to be too confident and would definitely arouse Emperor Yan Ling's suspicion.
Of course, this rhetoric also has detailed requirements in terms of tone.
When Du Gang said these words, although his voice was loud and clear, he also had some feelings of guilt and fear.
In other words, he is trying to create such an image for Emperor Yan Ling:
As an insignificant little person, I have always admired Your Majesty the Emperor very much, so when I got an auspicious treasure like the black jade unicorn, I immediately wanted to donate it to Your Majesty!
However, I accidentally discovered that there was a slight flaw on this black jade unicorn. When I came to the main hall, I did not dare to hide it from His Majesty, so I showed my cards in panic.
In short, the baby is a good baby, but flaws do exist.
After such a complete process, no matter how suspicious Yan Ling Emperor was, his attention had already been transferred to Mo Yu Qilin.
Of course, this is all an ideal scenario.
As for whether Emperor Yan Ling will act according to the set script, no one can say.
The wait was long.
A look of disappointment appeared on the face of the aloof Emperor Yan Ling.
Ink jade has flaws and is ultimately imperfect, which makes people uncomfortable.
But the wooden box had been opened, and the black jade unicorn completely attracted his attention, which not only made him ignore the abnormality of this matter to a certain extent, but also made him pay more attention to the flaws.
He squinted his eyes and observed carefully, and saw that the ink jade unicorn was a huge black mass. Even though it was so far away, there was no flaw at all.
"Where are the flaws? Tell me quickly!" Emperor Yan Ling asked with concern.
There is also a difference between small flaws and major flaws. If it's a small flaw, it's acceptable. If it's a big flaw, he might kill someone when he gets angry.
Du Gang couldn't help but feel happy, everything was developing according to the previously planned script!
He hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty, this flaw is very small, and the dark jade color is difficult to detect. Common people are brave, please come forward and point it out for your Majesty."
This is the most critical step. If it doesn't succeed, all your efforts will be wasted.
However, Emperor Yan Ling was obviously thinking about where Mo Yu Qilin's flaws were, so he didn't think much about it this time and nodded: "That's right."
Du Gang quickly stood up respectfully and walked forward slowly holding the ink jade unicorn in his hand.
So far, it's going great and beyond expectations!
Finally, Du Gang passed through the civil and military officials and was about to step onto the steps.
It seemed that he was only one step away from success, but what he didn't expect was that when he stepped up the steps, his feet slipped and he fell forward inexplicably!
The throne where Emperor Yan Ling sits is high up, with several steps, so even if he falls, there is still a distance.
Fortunately, Du Gang reacted quickly and grabbed the wooden box with both hands, preventing Mo Yu Qilin from being thrown out.
But even so, the sudden change made him very upset.
such a pity!
I had followed a perfect process before, but everything went smoothly from the beginning. Why did I end up falling flat on the ground at the last step?
This kind of low-level mistake should not be made!
Emperor Yan Ling couldn't help but became furious: "You bastard! If you throw away my auspiciousness, I will destroy your nine tribes!
"Did Xiangrui break? Come and see!"
In desperation, Emperor Yan Ling couldn't sit still anymore and stood up from the throne, reaching out to take the black jade unicorn in Du Gang's hand.
Du Gang couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
good chance!
He had practiced it countless times before and was extremely familiar with the location where the black jade unicorn hid the sword. Without even looking, he reached out and touched the black hilt of the sword and pulled it out!
Immediately afterwards, he rushed forward with his hands and feet, and the sword pierced Emperor Yan Ling's chest!
The scene was a bit unsightly and not very swordsman-like, but he had already fallen and the opportunity was too late to miss, and Du Gang couldn't care less.
Emperor Yan Ling's reaction was indeed very fast. He ducked out of the way in a hurry, and then shouted loudly: "There is an assassin! Protect him! Protect him quickly!"
The hall instantly became a mess!
Although there are military attachés among the officials in the main hall, they are unarmed at this time, and it will take some time for His Highness's guards to rush up.
Du Gang knew very well that time was precious and he couldn't waste a second. He didn't have the talent of "sword mastery" now, and it would be difficult to defeat two guards without a sneak attack.
In desperation, he gritted his teeth and pounced forward, hugging Emperor Yan Ling's thigh tightly!
Emperor Yan Ling had already drawn out his sword and stabbed Du Gang in the back.
Du Gang had died many times, and he had long been accustomed to this pain. He directly resisted Emperor Yan Ling's sword and pierced Emperor Yan Ling's calf with the sword.
There was nothing he could do about it. In his current position, he couldn't reach any other vital points if he wanted to.
Emperor Yan Ling screamed in pain, and the severe pain in his calf made him feel weak and almost fall down. However, he was tall and strong after all, so he managed to hold on and did not fall down. Instead, he stabbed Du Gang several times.
Du Gang felt that his consciousness was gradually passing away, and he knew that he could not hold on for long. He wanted to get up and stab other vital parts, but he still failed to do it.
After being stabbed into a hedgehog by Emperor Yan Ling, he was hacked to death by a red-clad armored soldier.
…
“What a pity, it was just a little bit close!
"Why did you fall down for no reason when you were going up the steps? This 'good luck comes first', is it really not 'bad luck one after another'?"
Returning to the original starting point again, Du Gang couldn't help but sigh.
If his sword had been higher and hit the waist, no, even hit the main artery in the leg, maybe it would have happened.
However, just when he was annoyed, no new talent skill cards appeared in his field of vision. Instead, an interface he had never seen before appeared.

Du Gang was confused.
"Have I cleared the level?
"No, I couldn't kill Emperor Yan Ling. I just stabbed him in the calf. Judging from his strength as strong as an ox, he probably won't die.
"Wait, could it be that...
"The sword is poisonous!"
Du Gang suddenly realized.
Since it was an assassination, how could the sword not be smeared with poison?
In fact, there are records of this in history, but because Nie Rang finally sealed his throat by throwing a sword, most people praised Nie Rang for his superb swordsmanship, but forgot that the sword was poisonous.
