Chapter 696 Eunuch Gao Li! Zhou Dao Enters the Palace
Capital, inside the palace.
Outside the Incense Offering Hall, many palace people lined up to receive the incense for each palace this month from the eunuch in charge.
The Qin Dynasty established its country with military force and specialized in practicing Taoism. The masters of each palace had the habit of burning incense and practicing meditation.
This is also the tradition of Taoist practice.
For example, the Qianyang Palace where Emperor Qin resides has a constant flow of incense all year round. It is said that Huang Huacheng, one of the eight general managers in the palace, is responsible for the incense of his majesty.
Some people say that the incense used in Qianyang Temple is extraordinary and was created by Taizu. It is the only one in the world and is extremely mysterious.
In addition, incense from each palace is collected at the [Incense Hall] according to regulations.
"Anyang Palace!"
A sharp sound sounded in the hall, and then a young eunuch handed over the list and walked forward.
"Ninety-three types?"
"There are nineteen kinds of spiritual incense in just one product?"
"Gao Li, do you think my Incense Festival Hall is the storehouse of your Anyang Palace?"
In front of the table, a fair-skinned eunuch put down the list in his hand, and raised his cold eyes gently, with a heart-warming luster.
"Eunuch Chen, our young master is going to have the [Initiation Ceremony], so naturally he needs more incense. He already reported to the [Zongli Department] last month." Gao Li whispered.
Among the slaves, he is the youngest, only eight or nine years old, but his conversation is very appropriate and his attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.
Chen Ping's eyes narrowed slightly and he revealed a sneer: "Gao Li, can't you tell that it has only been a few days since you were transferred to Anyang Palace, and yet you are already climbing a high branch and serving the master?"
"This is all thanks to Eunuch Chen." Gao Lidan said calmly.
As soon as he said this, the two eunuchs next to him looked at each other and showed cold smiles.
The eunuch in charge of the Xiang Temple can be regarded as a powerful man.
Although he did not dare to offend the nobles of each palace, the quality, age, and even weight of the incense could still make a big difference with just a little thought.
Therefore, Chen Ping can be regarded as the number one figure in this huge harem.
When Gao Li first entered the palace, he was favored by Chen Ping.
You know, Chen Ping entered the palace at the age of six, had been on duty for twenty years, and was no longer able to do human work.
Therefore, he cares very much about some fair and pure boys, often condescending and sleeping with them, and sometimes even accompanying five or six newcomers at the same time.
When Gao Li first entered the palace, Chen Ping immediately expressed his love for the newcomer and pulled him to have a long chat.
Who would have known that this was a fierce horse that refused to obey and almost bit Chen Ping's thigh off.
As a result, the young Gao Li was hanged in the New Slave Department by Chen Ping for five days and five nights. Finally, he was rescued by an old eunuch and assigned to Anyang Palace. Only then did he save a small life.
Even so, Chen Ping never let him go.
You know, he has been working in the palace for twenty years, and his roots are so big that even Jin Shengshui, one of the eight chief stewards, is his godfather.
Therefore, after Gao Li entered Anyang Palace, his life was not much better, and he was often squeezed and beaten by other eunuchs.
Until the last time, Zhou Dao entered the palace and saw the loyal protector. He recommended him to Concubine Chen and became the personal eunuch of the thirteenth prince.
Gao Li was the one who really came through.
"Anyang Palace needs too much incense, and it hasn't been collected yet. You can come again next time."
Chen Ping glanced coldly and quickly threw back the list in his hand.
Gao Li didn't have any expression on his face when he heard this.
"Please make it easier for Eunuch Chen. The young master's initiation ceremony will be in three days. This matter cannot be delayed." Gao Li bowed deeply.
"Gao Li, where did you start with these words? You didn't do your job well and delayed the master's important affairs. How can we be considered as delaying?"
Chen Ping chuckled, a hint of teasing in his cold eyes.
The hall suddenly fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing the words. They all knew in their hearts that Eunuch Chen was thinking of punishing the young eunuch who had just gained power.
"After all, he is still a small character, how can he defeat Chen Ping?"
"The worst case scenario is to go back and complain to the master. Doing so will only show your own incompetence. Who would use such a slave?"
"Hey, I'm afraid it's useless to complain. What kind of role is Chen Ping? If he complains, people will send incense to his door. He can't escape the charge of revenge."
A group of eunuchs began to whisper.
Many of these people are old people in the palace, and they have seen too many intrigues and life-and-death fights.
With Chen Ping's words, they could even see the tricks behind him, but this little guy could only let him ravage and slaughter him.
"Eunuch Chen, in three days there will be the initiation ceremony of His Highness Thirteenth Highness. The required incense was reported to the [Zongli Department] last month. You are not ready yet and have delayed the master's gift. It is a crime of death to be disrespectful." , how many heads do you have?"
Who knows, at this moment, Gao Li suddenly shouted loudly, with a loud voice and a hint of ruthlessness, which spread throughout the entire hall.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and even Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.
He never expected that his move could not frighten the little eunuch, but the other party actually labeled him as "committing a serious crime". Every word was loud and clear, and there was a faint hint of the majesty of a superior.
It seemed that he was not a young eunuch who had only been in the palace for a few years.
"How long has this little beast been serving the Thirteenth Prince? He has developed dignity? Has he got the skills to do things?"
Chen Ping was shocked and confused, but his face remained calm.
"Gao Li, who do you think you are? You dare to accuse me. Do you think you are your master?"
"How presumptuous. Who is the master and who is the slave in the palace? Are you allowed to discuss who is the master? Do you know that if you commit the crime of disobedience, you will die?"
Gao Li's voice rose again, and his breath suddenly condensed, like a sharp blade coming out of its sheath, and the cold light spread across the sky, catching Chen Ping off guard.
"You...I'm not..." Chen Ping gritted his teeth.
"I'll ask you again, are you ready?"
Gao Li didn't give Chen Ping a chance to refute, and pressed forward step by step.
Chen Ping's expression was gloomy, he raised his head violently, a hint of ferocity flashed through his wide eyes, and he flew up from his seat, his fingers and claws like hooks, covering Gaoli Tianling.
"Sir, you must not..."
Next to them, the expressions of the two serving eunuchs suddenly changed.
Gao Li came on behalf of Anyang Palace. Everything he said and did was for his master, and it complied with the laws and regulations of the palace and occupied his moral status.
Chen Ping was pressed hard by him step by step. He was confused for a moment and actually took action directly.
If this was investigated, it would be a serious crime.
"Die to me."
Chen Ping was furious. He had been working in the palace for twenty years. When had he been manipulated by such a little guy?
If he doesn't capture this little chick today, how will he be able to establish his authority in the palace in the future?
Just because his godfather is one of the eight chief stewards in the palace, even if he kills this little guy, he will probably be punished, but he can still get back on his feet after some time.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping became even more murderous. His powerful blood burned like real fire, and the black energy of clutching appeared, attached to his five fingers, and grabbed Gao Li's head.
At this moment, everyone's expressions changed.
Chen Ping is not only the eunuch in charge of Xixiang Palace, but also a master of the Eight Transformations of the Refining Realm.
At this moment, murderous intentions arose, and everyone knew that Gao Li was finished.
Rumble…
The life-threatening claws wrapped around the blood like real fire fell down...
Suddenly, above Gao Li's head, a streak of blood shot into the sky. In an instant, it turned into a three-foot green sharp edge. The sword light moved faintly, as if it was like a starlight flowing forever, and it actually cut off Chen Ping's palm.
Scarlet blood filled the hall.
Chen Ping's body suddenly stiffened, and he screamed like a slaughtered pig. Then his whole body fell to the ground, twitching all over, covering his severed hand, and looking at Gao Li in horror.
"This... this... Gao Li... he..."
At this moment, the hall fell into a deathly silence, and no one even dared to say a big fart.
No one thought that Chen Ping, who was so aggressive, would be so vulnerable in front of the young Gao Li, and even lost his hand before he even got close.
Such strength is simply terrifying.
Suddenly, the way everyone looked at Gao Li changed. From the original scorn or even disdain, they became incredulous, with a hint of awe mixed in.
Nine-year-old young man, you can't accept it.
"Eunuch Chen, why do you want to harm me?"
There was not much expression change on Gao Li's face. He still walked respectfully to Chen Ping and casually glanced at the useless hand that fell not far away.
"Eunuch Chen, are you ready with the incense our young master needs?"
Gao Li asked again, still neither humble nor overbearing, unhurried or slow, even showing a hint of respect.
He cut off his hand in an instant, and suddenly assumed such a posture, which made Chen Ping tremble involuntarily, as if he couldn't see through this perverted young man.
"Eunuch Chen..." Gao Li called again.
"Ready... ready..." Chen Ping replied subconsciously.
"Thank you, Eunuch Chen. In that case, I will take it."
Gao Li bowed respectfully, signed the document, and then took the two eunuchs beside him to the back hall to collect the incense.
There was silence in the main hall, and everyone looked at each other.
Every move of the little eunuch seemed to contain infinite magic power, which made them recall it endlessly and find it difficult to relax.
On the way back, two eunuchs followed Gao Li closely, their eyes full of awe.
"Sir, you were really amazing just now..." One of the eunuchs suddenly said with a smile on his face.
"Shut up." Gao Li stopped abruptly and turned around, a chill flashing in his cold eyes.
"You bitch, have you forgotten your identity? In this palace, who is worthy of being called an adult?"
"Damn the little ones! Damn the little ones."
The eunuch wanted to flatter him, but unexpectedly he slapped the horse's hoof. He immediately knelt down in panic, his eyes full of horror.
He didn't know why the nine-year-old child in front of him brought him such oppression and fear.
"If you dare to speak nonsense again, just pull out your tongue and eat it yourself." Gao Lidan said calmly.
"The little one understands, the little one doesn't dare anymore."
The eunuch had a headache and hurriedly responded.
Outside Anyang Palace, Gao Li adjusted his palace robe and was about to enter the house. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he looked into the distance.
Zhou Dao followed the palace people all the way to Anyang Palace.
Three days later, it was Xiao Pangdun's initiation ceremony. As the Qin Emperor's personally appointed [Shao Si Zongbao], he naturally took on the role of protecting the law.
At the same time, Zhou Dao was also looking forward to this opening ceremony. After all, he could finally see the legendary Taizu Pagoda.
"Benefactor!"
At this moment, a soft voice came.
Zhou Dao looked up and saw Gao Li running over. Before he could get close, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. The two eunuchs behind him were stunned and immediately knelt down too.
"You are..." Zhou Dao was stunned and felt that the little eunuch in front of him looked familiar.
"My slave Gao Li, I was promoted by my benefactor a few days ago and has just become His Highness's personal attendant." Gao Li knelt on the ground and said.
"I remembered, Xiao Gaoli." Zhou Dao showed a look of surprise, and when he raised his hand, the invisible force lifted Gao Li up.
Last time, Xiao Shisan secretly comprehended the "Edict of Sacrifice to Heaven", which caused internal fire to burn him. It was the same little eunuch who stepped forward to save the savior regardless of his own safety.
Zhou Dao gave him a bit of magic power, taught him some Taoism from Longhu Mountain, and even recommended it to Concubine Chen.
For Zhou Dao, this was just a random move.
But for Gao Li, it was such a random move that made this humble little eunuch soar into the sky.
"How was your performance?" Zhou Dao asked with a smile.
"It's quite diligent, and the master treats me very well."
Standing in front of Zhou Dao, Gao Li was full of anxiety and gratitude.
He knew that no matter what achievements he would have in the future, it would be given by the adult in front of him.
The world is vast, and caring for him is like a reborn parent, as if he had the kindness of reincarnation.
"Little Fatty...where is His Highness Thirteenth?"
"Your Highness is inside, my lord, follow me." Gao Li hunched over and led the way.
"Tsk tsk, are you also very talented in cultivation?"
"My lord is laughing."
"You actually mastered the Fetal Breath Sword Technique of Longhu Mountain."
"My lord has a sharp gaze, and I can't hide my little cleverness from you."
"You're not a little clever. You didn't notice it last time. It's interesting."
"Sir... I'm afraid I'll have to live in the palace for a while this time. I wonder if I can give you some advice."
"It's easy to say. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
"Thank you, sir."
The voices of the two became farther and farther away, becoming inaudible.
The two eunuchs looked at each other and looked at each other.
"Eunuch Li doesn't have his usual majesty in front of Master Xiao Zhou."
"Nonsense, that is the current King Yuan, His Highness's teacher... Although Eunuch Li is powerful now, he is only a small role in front of Lord Yuan."
"Keep your voice down, you're in danger of dying, he's not the same Gao Li he was before."
One of the eunuchs quickly covered his companion's mouth.
Before meeting Zhou Dao, Gao Li was just a small role in Anyang Palace, anyone could step on him.
But since he gained power, he has eliminated all the eunuchs who had offended or even bullied him in the past.
It is said that the worst one was thrown into the [Changle Room], where a group of crazy old eunuchs were kept, with all kinds of diseases. For ordinary palace people, it was simply a devil's cave.
"You must be careful when working under Eunuch Li from now on."
The older eunuch looked into the depths of Anyang Palace with a look of awe.
"Maybe one day..."
"What?"
"Nothing, just send the spirit incense to the warehouse quickly."
Two eunuchs pushed a palace cart, containing a cart full of incense, and disappeared on the palace road!
