945 Head Eunuch
The night came quietly, but Jiang Ming felt cold. He did not know what was going on.
He turned around and saw that someone was burning herbs in the house.
The smell was very strong, but it also carried a strange fragrance.
Jiang Ming approached, and the strange fragrance became even stronger. He could not help but frown.
He did not know who had brought these herbs here.
He glanced down and found a purse on the ground.
He opened the pouch, and a puff of smoke came out. He quickly covered his mouth and walked out again.
The room was immediately filled with the fragrance of lotus flowers.
Glancing at the eunuch who was keeping watch outside, Jiang Ming motioned for the eunuch to go take a look first.
The eunuch did not dare to disobey the order. He followed Jiang Ming’s order and quickly went in.
The sound of a eunuch falling came from the room, and Jiang Ming’s eyes turned cold.
It seemed like someone wanted to make a move on him.
Just as he was about to get to the bottom of it, the palace maids outside the door fell one after another.
However, they seemed to be immersed in their fantasies, and their eyes were filled with greed.
Jiang Ming looked around. The low pressure on his body suddenly appeared. The person in the dark did not appear.
He knew that the person would not give up just like that, so he waited quietly.
He closed his eyes and pretended to faint.
A cold aura flashed past. Jiang Ming knew that the person had come over and immediately opened his eyes. There was more than one person.
Jiang Ming glared at the people who were approaching. The secret guards happened to meet his eyes and could not help but retreat, their eyes filled with panic.
At this moment, a big guy suddenly appeared behind Jiang Ming.
The big guy held an axe in his hand. He raised the axe and wanted to cut Jiang Ming down.
However, Jiang Ming, who was in front, saw it. He barely moved, making the big guy think that he did not see him.
When the axe was in front of him, Jiang Ming turned around and grabbed the axe. He used the handle of the axe to kill the big guy.
The big guy’s body was instantly split into two, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
However, he was already dead.
When the secret guards saw the big guy die, they quickly went forward to kill Jiang Ming, but Jiang Ming disappeared in an instant.
They quickly looked around to find each other, but Jiang Ming used the axe to kill these secret guards one by one.
At this moment, the eunuch and the royal guards arrived late.
Jiang Ming glanced at everyone and said coldly, “Deal with the corpses.”
“Come with me,” he said to the other eunuch.
He and these secret guards made such a huge commotion, so how had no one heard it?
Only after he had dealt with the person did the head eunuch bring people over. It was enough to show that the head eunuch was not a good person.
“Your Majesty, is there anything else you want to talk to me about? The Western Regions have offered us some good pastries. I wonder if you’d like to try them.”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands and gestured for the palace maid to bring a plate over. The palace maid took the plate very quickly and immediately brought it to Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming could tell at a glance that the pastries were poisoned. Then, he smiled and said, “I think you’ll like it more. Try it for me.”
The eunuch immediately took out one of the pastries, took a bite, and swallowed it in front of Jiang Ming.
“You try it too,” he said with a faint smile.
Jiang Ming knew that only that piece of pastry was not poisoned. The other pastries were all poisoned. Then, he said, “Have another piece. You seem to like it.”
The eunuch coughed. “We mustn’t waste time. Your Majesty, tell me about your matter first. I’ll get it resolved.”
“I feel that there’s no need to keep you here. You can retire and leave the palace.”
Jiang Ming picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.
“Your Majesty, what do you mean? Are you going to chase me out?”
The head eunuch’s face instantly turned cold, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness.
He had been serving others for many years, and many people had never had an opinion of him. Only this new king had an opinion of him.
One had to know that Jiang Ming was so young that no one would obey him. If not for him, Jiang Ming would have been chased out long ago.
“I mean, you can leave now. Do I have to repeat myself a third time?”
Jiang Ming continued to speak unhurriedly.
The head eunuch immediately threw the teacup to the side. Jiang Ming immediately stopped and smiled. “Thank you. I was just about to drink some tea.”
Then, Jiang Ming poured the tea on the head eunuch, and his face instantly turned cold.
“If you don’t leave, you’ll die. If it weren’t for me, you would have been chased out by those people. You should be thanking me. Why are you chasing me away now?” the head eunuch said.
“I don’t need any reason. I only know that you can die now.”
Jiang Ming lost his patience and threw the teacup again.
Those teacups were directly controlled by Jiang Ming and smashed onto the head eunuch.
The head eunuch felt as if his bones had broken. He became angry and did not hold back at all. He directly shot out his spiritual energy.
However, it was ineffective.
“What?” The head eunuch could not believe it. He looked at his palm and trembled. “Am I going to die now?”
Jiang Ming did not understand what the head eunuch was talking about. He immediately raised his hand and attracted the thing in the head eunuch’s hand.
When the head eunuch came to find him, he saw that his pockets were filled with something.
Jiang Ming was stunned when he saw the item.
That was the command talisman that could lead the royal guards. He was wondering how the head eunuch could appoint the Spirit Controlling Army.
Now, the Spirit Controlling Army was his.
He put the receiving talisman in his pocket and waved at the head eunuch.
“Thank you so much.”
The head eunuch was furious, but he could not release his spiritual energy at all, so he could only give up.
“Your Majesty, please let me go. I really don’t want to die.” He begged Jiang Ming while trembling.
Jiang Ming did not reply to him. Instead, he killed the eunuch, and the eunuch’s head fell to the ground.
The Spirit Controlling Army soldiers also began to grow timid.
They originally thought that this new king was an idiot, but they did not expect him to be so powerful.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Ming decided not to sleep. He wanted to check out the prime minister’s estate.
In the end, he did not find the prime minister’s residence. Instead, he went to the minister of rites.
He saw that someone was about to enter the door, so he knocked out the original minister of rites and disguised himself as the minister of rites.
The person who came was the county commander, Huang Dasheng.
He greeted him with a smile.
