HCB Chapter 209 Shadow is bribed
Chapter 209 Shadow is bribed
"Jiang Beiheng? Are you planning to rebel?"
Seeing Eunuch Liu being held at neck by Jiang Beiheng with a sword, Zhu Yunhao became furious and pointed at him and shouted at him.
But Jiang Bei Heng was blinded by greed and was determined to take all the ten thousand taels of gold that Wanyan Hongze had rewarded him, so he was not afraid at all.
He kicked the door shut and sneered involuntarily:
"Rebellion? You dog emperor, do you think I'm still afraid of you?
If it weren't for that vicious woman, Queen Mother Qiao, who controlled three generations of my Jiang family, would I have given her such a heavy poison?"
As Jiang Beiheng was talking, his gaze suddenly fell on Du Qingwan, and a hint of mockery quickly flashed across his slightly sunken eyes.
"She is born with a phoenix character. She will never die before the world is unified! At worst, she will be eaten away by various poisonous insects every night!"
At this point, Jiang Beiheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Upon hearing this, not only was Zhu Yunhao completely shocked, even Du Qingwan, who was well prepared, was almost surprised.
[Oh my god! Turns out it was Queen Mother Qiao who ordered someone to cast a poison on me!]
[What is this? Guixin Poison Gu? Why haven’t I heard of it before?]
After hearing this, Du Qingwan couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.
She almost forgot that she was still playing the self-torture trick.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, let's just forget it. The Queen Mother wants me to die, so I have to die! Woohoo..."
Thinking that she must not reveal any flaws and must leave Tianxiang Inn safely, Du Qingwan pretended to sob in pain.
Seeing this, Zhao Er also burst into tears and wailed along with Du Qing Wan:
"My lady, you are so pitiful! I didn't expect that you could not escape death after hiding in Loulan with great difficulty..."
"Stop making noise! Jiang Beiheng, I am the emperor!
My shadow is nearby. As long as I give the order, you will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die immediately. Why don't you release Eunuch Liu quickly?!"
Although Zhu Yunhao was anxious to rescue Eunuch Liu, he was more worried that Jiang Beiheng would not help Du Qingwan get rid of the poison. So he suddenly remembered that Shadow was by his side.
But Jiang Beiheng had expected Zhu Yunhao to scare him like this, so he sneered smugly:
"Shadow? These days, people die for money and birds die for food.
Dog Emperor, why don't you give it a try and see if your shadow troops still obey your command? Haha..."
After Jiang Beiheng finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing again.
Zhu Yunhao was stunned when he heard this: "You?"
He stepped back subconsciously, his head buzzing.
Seeing this, Eunuch Liu sighed helplessly and hurriedly urged loudly:
"Your Majesty! Take the Queen and flee from here immediately, and leave me alone!
Our Shadow has been bribed by him with gold, and is now on his way back to Yecheng to assassinate the Queen Mother..."
Upon learning that the shadow team he had worked hard to train for nearly a decade had been bribed by Jiang Beiheng with a few gold bars and had teamed up to betray him, Zhu Yunhao really wanted to die by banging his head against tofu.
He never dreamed that he, the king of a country, would end up in such a miserable situation.
"Jiang Beiheng, release Eunuch Liu and take me as a hostage.
I am the Queen of Loulan. Although Wanyan Hongze doesn't like me, I am still useful to him. He will definitely pay more gold to redeem me!"
What shocked everyone present was that just when everyone thought they had no way out, Du Qingwan actually took the initiative to ask to exchange her own life for that of Eunuch Liu.
Of course Zhu Yunhao would not agree!
It was with great difficulty that he managed to get Du Qingwan to agree to go back to Daye with him.
Although, in the final analysis, it was still Jiang Beiheng's [Soul-stealing Gu] that played a role, but the fact is---
Du Qingwan now obeys his orders.
"Absolutely not! I finally had the chance to bring you back to the palace, how could I bear to let you fall into Wanyan Hongze's hands again?"
Zhu Yunhao immediately objected with a very firm attitude.
Eunuch Liu was well aware of his importance in Zhu Yunhao's heart, so naturally he had no complaints about Zhu Yunhao's decision.
"Empress, the emperor is absolutely right. You go first. I only have one life. Jiang Beiheng can take it if he wants."
"Right now the most important thing is for you to escape from here quickly. Don't wait until Shadow comes back. No one can escape!"
Eunuch Liu has always been loyal, so Zhu Yunhao was not surprised at all that he could say such words.
Du Qingwan, on the other hand, was confused: "Eunuch Liu?"
"Are you really not afraid that this lunatic Jiang Beiheng will take your life?"
Du Qingwan still couldn't believe it. Even when Eunuch Liu was about to die, he was still so protective of his master.
But Eunuch Liu was ready to die, and nodded with tears in his eyes:
"Your Majesty! I have failed to serve you well. You must leave Loulan safely and return to Daye to be the ruler of your country!
When the world is unified, please remember to send someone to burn some incense and paper for me, and I will die without regrets!"
Eunuch Liu choked up as he finished speaking and was about to step forward to push Zhu Yunhao and Du Qingwan out of the room, but was stopped by Jiang Beiheng.
Jiang Beiheng sneered, pressed the sword in his hand tightly against Eunuch Liu's neck, and slowly approached Du Qingwan.
At this time, Eunuch Liu's neck had been scratched and blood was flowing down bit by bit.
"What a great master-servant love story! I almost believed it!
Du Qingwan, you are right! This dog eunuch is really worthless, I will do as you say! Haha..."
Before Du Qingwan could react, Jiang Beiheng pushed Eunuch Liu away, put the sword to her neck and laughed.
Seeing this, the three people present couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
Especially Zhao'er, she never dreamed that today's drama was over the top, nor did she expect the plot to turn around so quickly!
Zhu Yunhao was so angry that stars appeared in his eyes and he was about to step forward.
But Jiang Beiheng immediately threatened Du Qingwan:
"Don't come over here! If you dare to take another step forward, I'll kill her!"
Zhu Yunhao had no choice but to take two steps back, feeling extremely anxious.
Eunuch Liu had finally escaped from danger, but he was still frightened and his heart was pounding.
"Your Majesty, shall we leave here first and discuss this matter later?"
Knowing that Jiang Beiheng has gone insane, it is not advisable for him to stay here for long.
Eunuch Liu quickly pulled Zhu Yunhao aside and whispered softly.
"But, Queen..."
Zhu Yunhao looked embarrassed, hesitating and seeming to want to say something.
He looked at Du Qingwan with reluctance, his heart feeling as if it was being cut by a knife.
"Your Majesty, please don't say but, it will be too late if we don't leave now!
The Queen is now the Queen of Loulan, so the King of Loulan will definitely not sit idly by..."
Eunuch Liu naturally understood what Zhu Yunhao was worried about.
But he was more worried about Zhu Yunhao's life safety.
"Yes! Your Majesty, leave me alone and leave quickly!
Zhao'er, you must find a way to notify the king to rescue me!"
Du Qingwan had not expected the plot to take such a turn, and was suddenly at a loss.
On second thought, it might not be a bad thing for him to fall into the hands of Jiang Beiheng, the great Gu Master.
Maybe, she could get something out of him!
"But, miss..."
Zhao'er was still a little worried, his heart in his throat.
But Du Qingwan didn't want the new plan to fail, so she urged:
"Hurry up! Are you waiting for everyone to die together? Jiang Beiheng has gone crazy! If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"
Helplessly, the three of them had to flee from Tianxiang Inn.
