Chapter 315: The Protector of the Wise King
The person behind the bamboo curtain thought for a moment, then slowly said: "I think the King of Qin is a good candidate. He is smart and wise, and cares about the world. If he inherits the throne, he will definitely benefit the people. You can follow Prince Xiao to assist the King of Qin and help him ascend the throne."
After hearing this, Kong Boda's eyes flashed with surprise. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for your advice, Master. I will do my best to assist the King of Qin and live up to your expectations."
The person behind the bamboo curtain smiled and nodded, then waved his hand to signal Kong Boda to leave. Kong Boda respectfully left the room, his heart full of respect for his master and expectations for the future.
As night fell, the moonlight sprinkled on the earth. Kong Boda, wearing a black nightgown, sneaked into the Wu'an Palace like a ghost. He nimbly shuttled between the high walls, avoiding the patrol routes of the guards. He took every step carefully, for fear of making any sound.
After entering the palace, Kong Boda found that everything was quiet, as if the whole world was sleeping in peace. There was no noise, no movement, only the occasional whistling of the night wind.
This silence made Komboda feel a little uneasy, but he did not stop and continued to move towards his goal.
However, when he just stepped into the garden, suddenly, a group of men in black emerged from all directions like ghosts. They moved quickly and with excellent martial arts skills, they surrounded Kong Boda in an instant.
These men in black were agile and clearly had great martial arts skills. Moreover, the skills they used were unique and strange, making it hard to defend against them.
Kong Boda's heart tightened, realizing that he was in a dangerous situation. Facing the sudden attack, he did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately used his body skills to try to avoid the attack of the man in black. At the same time, the long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, ready to meet the enemy's challenge.
Although Kongboda is a skilled warrior, he still feels overwhelmed by the numerous enemies before him. They are agile and work well together, which puts Kongboda in a tough fight.
Just when he was fighting fiercely with the enemy, a familiar voice came from the darkness: "Don't hurt his life!" This was Xiao Jinghan's voice. He obviously didn't want to see Kong Boda get hurt.
Hearing this voice, Kong Boda was delighted.
In less than a cup of tea, the men in black gradually gained the upper hand with their advantages in numbers and strength.
Finally, Kongboda was successfully controlled by the man in black. Although he tried his best to resist, he was ultimately unable to withstand the other party's attack.
The entire Wu'an Palace was illuminated by bright lights, and Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue walked out of the house.
Xiao Jinghan raised his eyebrows coldly, stared at Kong Boda, and asked in a cold voice: "Should I call you Kong Junshi or Kong Anwei? Did His Majesty send you here?"
Kong Boda bowed his head slightly and said to Xiao Jinghan: "Your Majesty, I have something important to discuss with you. Please send your attendants away."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Jinghan waved to the men in black around him, signaling them to leave quietly.
After all the men in black had left, Xiao Jinghan spoke again, his voice still cold: "Go ahead!"
Kong Boda took a deep breath, suddenly knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "My master asked me to come here to follow King Wu'an and help His Royal Highness King Qin achieve great things!"
Xiao Jinghan frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Isn't your master Emperor Wen?" He stared at Kong Boda, trying to find the answer from his expression.
Kong Boda lowered his head and answered firmly: "My humble master is His Royal Highness the Wise King! I was given to the Wise King by the late Emperor, and I have been lurking beside Emperor Wen just to protect the Wise King!"
Xiao Jinghan looked at him coldly, his eyes full of doubt: "So, the fire in the Cining Palace was planned by you and the wise king?" His voice was low and cold, as if it could penetrate one's soul.
Kong Boda hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and admitted, "Yes! That witch killed the late emperor, Concubine Hu, and your father Xiao Qichen! I have been looking for an opportunity to get rid of her and avenge them!"
Xiao Jinghan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. He was silent for a while, then slowly said: "You are the leader of Emperor Wen's secret guards, how can I believe your words?" There was a hint of vigilance in his voice, after all, Kong Boda had been loyal to Emperor Wen.
Kong Boda pursed his lips, not knowing how to respond for a moment. He knew that his identity was sensitive, but his loyalty to the wise king had never changed. He secretly wondered how to make Xiao Jinghan believe in his sincerity and determination.
At this time, a voice came from the wall: "Oh my god! You little brat actually put poison needles on the wall!"
Kong Boda was shocked and said, "It's the wise king!"
Luo Lingyue flew forward and picked up the poisoned King from the wall.
She took out a detoxifying pill from her bosom and stuffed it into the mouth of the virtuous king. She raised her eyebrows and said, "The virtuous king! Doesn't the Wu'an Palace have a gate? You're still climbing over the wall!"
Xiao Jinghan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said sarcastically: "Your martial arts skills are not good enough, and you still want to attack by surprise? How shameful!"
The wise king blushed slightly and smiled awkwardly, "I'm just afraid that you will kill Military Advisor Kong!"
Kong Boda secretly groaned in his heart, if they were really worried about him, they should have given him a token!
Xiao Jinghan's face was frighteningly gloomy, and his cold eyes seemed to freeze the air around him. He pursed his lips tightly, staring at the wise king in front of him without saying a word, his heart full of displeasure and impatience.
The virtuous king did not seem to notice Xiao Jinghan's dissatisfaction. Instead, he touched his nose as if nothing had happened and said with a smile: "Oh, my dear nephew, why are you so indifferent? Don't you even want to pay attention to your cousin?" He deliberately made an aggrieved expression, trying to arouse Xiao Jinghan's sympathy.
However, Xiao Jinghan remained unmoved and replied coldly: "Wise King, it is late at night and I cannot entertain you. Please go back." His voice was low and firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
The wise king did not give up easily and continued to say shamelessly: "Oh, my good nephew, look at it, it's winter now and it's so cold outside. Can you bear to let your uncle suffer the cold outside? Why don't you invite your uncle into the house to have some hot tea and warm up his body." As he spoke, he rubbed his hands and pretended to look pitiful.
Xiao Jinghan was not moved at all, and still responded coldly: "My lord, please leave quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" There was a hint of threat in his tone, which made people feel afraid.
When the virtuous king saw Xiao Jinghan was so determined, he became furious: "You little brat! How dare you talk to your uncle like that! How rude of you!" He widened his eyes and looked furious.
However, before he could finish, Xiao Jinghan suddenly pulled out a soft sword from his waist, pointing the tip of the sword at the virtuous king. Seeing this, the virtuous king stepped back in fear and shouted in horror: "You...what do you want to do? Don't mess around!"
