The villain of Xianwu world

Chapter 179 The capital with undercurrents

"My minister Dongfang Sheng kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Gu Xiao held up the Heavenly Sword with a scabbard made of thousand-year-old red sandalwood with both hands, and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the Heavenly Sword in Gu Xiao's hand, his eyes that were originally muddy were full of greed at the moment, as if he could pounce on him and snatch the Heavenly Sword from Gu Xiao's hand at any time.Fortunately, after all, he still didn't forget his identity, barely suppressed his desire, and didn't pounce.

"Good! Good! Good!" the emperor said three times, and kept patting his thigh.

"Come, present the Heavenly Sword to me." The emperor shouted.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Sword." Zhuge Zheng stepped forward, took the Heavenly Sword from Gu Xiao's hand, and sent the Heavenly Sword to the Emperor.

The emperor grabbed the Heavenly Sword, and kept stroking the blade of the Heavenly Sword, as if he was stroking the skin of a stunning beauty.

In the imperial study room, the other people saw that the emperor valued the Heavenly Sword so much, and almost all of them had expressions of joy or worry in their eyes.Only a trace of disdain flashed in Gu Xiao's eyes.

Of course he knew why the emperor valued the Heavenly Sword so much, because in the eyes of the emperor, the Heavenly Sword is no longer left behind by Qin Shihuang and symbolizes the supreme weapon of Qin Shihuang's imperial power. His elixir of immortality.

For this emperor who had pursued immortality for a long time, and pursued it to the point of obsession, now that he can just touch the Heavenly Sword in this way, it can be regarded as self-cultivation and progress.

To be honest, Gu Xiao was wondering why he didn't immediately destroy the Heavenly Sword and take out the Immortality Pill.

Although Gu Xiao didn't believe at all that the elixir in this heavenly sword could really make the emperor live forever, but he still wanted to see with his own eyes what would happen to the emperor after eating this elixir?
Unfortunately, to Gu Xiao's disappointment, the emperor really didn't seem to have the intention of taking the elixir of immortality right now, he just stroked the Heavenly Sword for a while, and then put it down.

"Dongfang wins!" The emperor suddenly shouted.

Gu Xiao was stunned, stood up and replied, "We are here!"

"Dongfang Sheng, you have made great contributions in presenting the Heavenly Sword. From now on, I will order you to be the head of the inner bodyguard!" The emperor stared at Gu Xiao and said word by word.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gu Xiao replied.

Am I still the head of the East?Gu Xiao remained calm on his face, and smiled wryly in his heart.

The emperor appointed him as the head of the Ouchi bodyguards. On the surface, this is simply the mighty grace of the emperor.After all, this is tantamount to the emperor having handed over his wealth and life to himself.But Gu Xiao knew very well that even if he became the chief guard of the big inner guard, he was destined not to get military power.

The emperor just wanted to further put himself under his nose for surveillance, and Gu Xiao could see the emperor's careful thoughts at a glance.

However, what puzzled Gu Xiao was why the emperor chose to designate himself as the head of the inner guards instead of other official positions?

You know, once you become the head of the Ouchi bodyguard, who is close to the emperor, then if you want to kill the emperor, it will be a matter of effort.There are so many positions that he wants to hold on to, why did the emperor choose such one?
It seems that during the period when I was not in the capital, did something new happen in the capital?Gu Xiao thought of what Tuotuo said to himself, and a flash of understanding flashed in his heart.

"Sheng'er, why did you hand over the Heavenly Sword to the emperor?" As soon as Gu Xiao returned to the Hou Mansion, he was immediately questioned by Dongfang Hou.

After getting the news of Gu Xiao's return to the mansion, Dongfang Hou immediately killed him in front of him, and angrily Xingshi began to question him.

Dongfang Hou is really about to die of anger now, how can Qin Shihuang's Heavenly Sword be handed over to the emperor?Wouldn't this stabilize the emperor's already precarious country?

Dongfang Hou wanted to grab Gu Xiao's collar and ask him: Whose son are you?
Gu Xiao glanced at Dongfang Hou, and said indifferently: "Just put the Heavenly Sword with him temporarily!"

"Confused! Could it be that, do you think the Heavenly Sword can still be taken back?" Dongfang Hou shouted.

Gu Xiao asked: "Father, do you think that if the Heavenly Sword is in our hands, can we keep it now?"

Dongfang Hou was taken aback for a moment, and didn't speak for a long time.

Can't keep it!The answer is yes.

It would be fine if the Heavenly Sword was in the hands of the emperor. Although the world now has a situation in which all the heroes occupy one side, the emperor is still the ruler of the world in name. Say even half a word.However, if the Heavenly Sword is in the hands of their father and son, it will be different.

Their father and son have no sense of righteousness at all, even if they get the Heavenly Sword, it is only temporarily.

From now on, there will be people coming to seize the Heavenly Sword constantly, so they don't have to do other things.

Because of this, Gu Xiao asserted that even if they got the Heavenly Sword, they would not be able to keep it.

Gu Xiao looked at Dongfang Hou who was sitting blankly on the chair, then turned and left silently.Now, this cheap old man of mine has gotten into a dead end, and he can only make him turn the corner by himself.

"You're back." As soon as Gu Xiao returned to the room, Feng Suzhen greeted him.

Gu Xiao nodded calmly and said, "I'm back."

Feng Suzhen stepped forward and helped Gu Xiao take off his outer robe, revealing the strong outfit underneath.

Gu Xiao sat on the chair and asked, "How are you?"

"It's okay!" Feng Suzhen immediately showed a happy expression when she heard the words, and almost cried. This was the first time he asked about her own situation.

Seeing Feng Suzhen's appearance, Gu Xiao put down the tea bowl in his hand and sighed in his heart: Another infatuated woman!

It's all about emotion, he still has business to ask.

Gu Xiao asked: "Did something happen in the capital recently? When I entered the city, I found that the whole capital was in chaos!"

To be honest, Gu Xiao really doesn't understand what is it that can make people in the entire capital become so hurried.

Even if someone wants to rebel, it's just a matter for the upper echelon, not the business of these ordinary people.

When Feng Suzhen heard the words, a surprised expression immediately appeared on her face, and she said: "If you want to talk about strange things, there is really one thing."

"What's the matter?" Gu Xiao became interested, he was really interested, what was it that could make the whole capital so flustered.

"Recently, a large number of fake copper coins have suddenly appeared in the capital, and the fake copper coins are mixed with real copper coins, which makes the people in the whole capital suspicious, and there are many fewer people doing business now!" Feng Suzhen slowly said the recent incidents. When she spoke, there was a trace of unspeakable doubt in her tone.

She really didn't understand, since there were conditions for casting fake coins, why not just cast real copper coins?

Suddenly!The teacup in Gu Xiao's hand fell at the sound, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Are the four famous arresters finally getting together?
