Chapter 511
Jing Ni was a bit surprised.
She never expected that Zhao Gao just coming forward to retrieve the Jing Ni sword would cause such an extreme move from Su Xuan. Su Xuan even slapped Zhao Gao.
This made her feel a trace of warmth.
Although she did not know why Su Xuan would do this, joining Su Xuan's command seemed to be a correct decision. At least, Su Xuan kept her things, and for her sake, he even had a conflict with the Luo Wang.
And what made her even more surprised was Zhao Gao's reaction.
Zhao Gao, the master of the Luo Wang, was in a high position and had great power. After suffering a slap from Su Xuan, although anger arose in his eyes, his trembling body also revealed his inner anger, but in the end, he still forcibly endured this anger and did not fall out with Su Xuan.
He also did not call out the Luo Wang assassins hidden in the dark to attack Su Xuan.
Zhao Gao, the current master of the Luo Wang, was more patient than Jing Ni had imagined.
In fact, the previous Zhao Gao, after suffering this slap from Su Xuan, once had a feeling of anger. He was about to call out several Heaven-grade first-class Luo Wang assassins hidden in the dark to attack Su Xuan.
But in the end, he forcibly endured it.
He had to endure it.
Su Xuan humiliating him was one thing, but if he let the assassins attack Su Xuan, it was another.
If it succeeded, it could indeed vent his anger, but if it failed, it would damage several top Luo Wang assassins.
And there was a consequence he could not afford.
That was, whether it succeeded or failed, this matter would cause the King of Qin's anger, and then deprive him of his control over the Luo Wang.
Zhao Gao was currently the Prefect of the Carriage Office. As a minister who prepared carriages and horses for the King of Qin, his official position was not high, but because he was close to the King of Qin, his status was not low. Many foreign ministers respected him immensely.
But Zhao Gao was not satisfied with this.
The Lao Ai of the past, the Lu Buwei of the past, how glorious they were.
They could have that status as the master of the Luo Wang, and he, Zhao Gao, could too.
He wanted to go further.
In the process of realizing his ambition, the Luo Wang was the most important card in his hand.
He could not lose the Luo Wang.
Zhao Gao forcibly endured his anger, looked at Su Xuan who was looking down at him from a high position, and said word by word: "Zhao Gao will keep Mr. Su's teachings in mind and will never dare to forget!"
After saying this, he also stood up abruptly and left here directly, flicking his sleeves, without even intending to say goodbye to Su Xuan.
With Zhao Gao's departure, Jing Ni could feel that the Luo Wang assassins hidden in the dark also disappeared.
Su Xuan watched Zhao Gao disappear and muttered again, "Really impolite!"
In these words, where was the sense of majesty when he slapped Zhao Gao and warned Zhao Gao earlier?
Jing Ni was silent for a long time and said softly: "Zhao Gao is the master of the Luo Wang. This time, you humiliated him like this, and he could endure it, which shows that his city is extremely deep. Offending him is probably not a good thing."
"Actually, earlier, it wouldn't have mattered if you handed over that sword."
Su Xuan acted for her and chose to confront Zhao Gao. She was very moved.
But if viewed from a long-term perspective, Jing Ni did not think that offending Zhao Gao was a good thing.
She came from the Luo Wang and knew very well how despicable and shameless those people in the Luo Wang were.
Su Xuan offended Zhao Gao. With Su Xuan's strength, he might not be afraid of Zhao Gao's overt retaliation, but overt spears are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are hard to guard against. Not to mention, Zhao Gao's previous forbearance also revealed his deep city.
Su Xuan turned his head and glanced at Jing Ni: "Since you have served me as your master, the sword in your hand also belongs to me. Zhao Gao wants to ask for my things, but I don't agree."
"As for the Luo Wang, it is not as powerful as you imagine. Offending him is offending him, there is nothing great about it."
"Even, if he hadn't chosen to endure this time, I wouldn't mind killing him!"
Su Xuan said lightly, as if the person before him was not the master of the Luo Wang, not the Prefect of the Carriage Office, but just an ordinary person.
Su Xuan did not lie in this sentence either. If Zhao Gao could not suppress the anger in his heart earlier and ordered the Luo Wang to attack him, he would not mind taking the opportunity to kill Zhao Gao. It was just a pity that Zhao Gao forcibly endured it.
Seeing that he dared to be angry but dared not speak, and was extremely aggrieved, Su Xuan would spare his life for the time being.
As for the words hidden in Jing Ni's words that Zhao Gao might retaliate.
Su Xuan also wanted to see if Zhao Gao had the guts. If he really dared to retaliate, Su Xuan would not mind giving him a quick end.
Although Zhao Gao was quite famous in history, this was not history, but the present world. A mere Zhao Gao could be killed with a flick of a finger.
Jing Ni listened to Su Xuan's words and was stunned for a long time. She asked Su Xuan a question with a strange expression, "Has Zhao Gao offended you?"
She could only attribute Su Xuan's targeting of Zhao Gao to an old grudge between the two.
Su Xuan shook his head and said: "Offend? He wouldn't dare to offend me!"
"Then why?"
Su Xuan knew what she wanted to ask and gave her a calm reply, "I just simply don't like him!"
Just because the other party was named Zhao Gao, Su Xuan found it hard to have a good impression of him.
'Just don't like him?'
Jing Ni was stunned for a long time, never expecting such an answer.
She had some new understanding of this Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School beside her. The other party seemed a bit willful.
……
The next day, at dawn.
After Ying Zheng saw Zhao Gao, he was a bit surprised.
Just because half of Zhao Gao's cheek was extremely swollen.
"Zhao Gao, what happened to you?"
After hearing Ying Zheng's question, Zhao Gao was immediately extremely aggrieved.
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for your servant!"
He stated Su Xuan's crimes, "Mr. Su harbored a traitor to the Luo Wang, and the other party hid a famous Luo Wang sword. I learned of this and prepared to go and retrieve this sword, so I invited Mr. Su to a banquet. As a result, no one expected that after he heard the reason clearly, he did not ask right from wrong and gave me a slap…"
Zhao Gao prepared to stir up trouble. Even if he could not alienate the relationship between Ying Zheng and Su Xuan, at least, he could leave Ying Zheng with an impression that Su Xuan was arrogant and acted recklessly.
As a result, no one expected that before he finished speaking, Ying Zheng's tone shifted.
"Although I don't know why Mr. Su hit you, since he chose to hit you, you must have done something wrong!"
"Take this slap well for me!"
Ying Zheng's voice was cold. After it fell into Zhao Gao's ears, Zhao Gao was suddenly stunned, and his heart also turned cold. He never expected that Ying Zheng would trust Su Xuan so much.
