Chapter 18: Zhao Gao's conditions

In a small western-style building in the center of the Walled City.

Zhao Heng sat on the sofa, drinking the happy water of the fat house, and rubbing a jade pendant in his hand.

The jade pendant is in the shape of a dragon, with a small seal Xia character on it.

This jade pendant can be regarded as the only property left to him by the predecessor, if it were not for the appearance of the portable warehouse, he would have sold this jade pendant directly.

In my memory, my predecessor was an orphan since he was a child and was adopted by an old farmer couple in the cottage.

The predecessor only knew that his name was Zhao Heng, but he didn't know who his biological parents were.

When the predecessor was six years old, the old farmer and his wife both died of illness, and then they grew up eating 100 family meals in the cottage.

"Could it be the father of the predecessor, with Xia as his surname? Then why is the name of the predecessor also called Zhao Heng? ”

Zhao Heng thought secretly in his heart.

After thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out anything, so he put the jade pendant back on his waist.

"Those three fine works must not be simple."

After Zhao Heng drank a large mouthful of fat house water, he remembered the three fine works that Xuan Yiwei caught three days ago.

In the past three days, he used almost all the interrogation methods he knew on the three meticulous people, but he couldn't pry their mouths open, and naturally he couldn't get any useful information.

Not only did they not accept coercion and temptation, but they did not even say a word when they were tortured.

Obviously, they had received extremely professional training, and they were extremely loyal to their masters behind them, and would rather die than betray.

There was no choice but to lock them in a small dark room first and grind them slowly.

At the same time, in the next room.

Ying Zheng, who had recovered from illness and was discharged from the hospital, stared at Wang Jian and asked, "Can you find out?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has already gone to ask, and the three fine works that were caught are really from the Black Ice Terrace."

Wang Jian nodded.

"The Black Ice Platform of Me is the Iron Eagle Sharps selected from the millions of elites, although there are three people, but they can reach a thousand people, and Mr.'s people can capture them alive, it seems that Mr.'s training skills are indeed extremely extraordinary."

Ying Zheng raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the small western-style building, and said with a different look.

"Your Majesty, now that the Black Ice Platform has found this place, I'm afraid that the army is coming, do you want to tell Mr. about our identity now?"

Wang Qian's eyes flashed slightly, and then he asked Ying Zheng.

"Don't worry, I suddenly want to see how Mr. will respond when the army surrounds the walled city."

A faint smile flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he shook his head.

He was looking forward to it, how would the gentleman react when he learned that he was the first emperor's brother?

……

The Qin army battalion.

"Li Xiang, you haven't figured it out yet?"

Zhao Gao found Li Si again and asked.

Li Si was silent, although his face was as usual at the moment, his heart was struggling.

His Majesty has been missing for more than ten days, and the search for the mountain is almost over, but no trace of His Majesty and Marquis Wu Anhou has been found.

Although he was extremely reluctant to think so, he also had to guess in his heart that His Majesty might have been killed.

If that's the case, if he doesn't do anything, then he won't end well.

At least, after Gongzi Fusu succeeded to the throne, he would never be as powerful as he is now.

It's just that if he really takes this step, there will be no turning back!

"Li Xiang, Gongzi Fusu and the Meng clan are both pro-Confucian and evil laws, if they are in power, the court will definitely have no place for you to stand."

Zhao Gao continued.

Li Si's indecision made him feel a little anxious.

If he can't get the support of Li Si, the powerful prime minister, he alone will not be able to help the young son to the throne.

"Li Xiang, I can promise on behalf of the young prince that after the young prince succeeds to the throne, you will still be the prime minister of Great Qin, and the only prime minister!"

Seeing that Li Si was still silent, Zhao Gao couldn't help but directly prescribe his own conditions.

The only prime minister of Daqin!

Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Li Si's pupils shrank suddenly.

I have to say that Zhao Gao's condition really moved him.

"Zhao Fu Decree ......"

Just as Li Si was about to speak, two middle-aged men dressed in black armor suddenly walked into the tent.

"Weak, Yao Jia, could it be that the Black Ice Platform has found His Majesty?"

Seeing these two people, Li Si's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked.

"There is no news from His Majesty yet."

Yao Jia shook his head and said, "However, we found a walled city in the deepest part of the mountain range. ”

"There's a walled city in the deepest part of the mountain?"

Li Si and Zhao Gao were both a little confused by Yao Jia's words.

Why is there an extra walled city in the deepest part of the inaccessible mountain range?

"Your Majesty and Wu Chenghou should be trapped in the walled city."

Don Liang also spoke at this time.

"How sure are you?"

Zhao Gao's eyes were a little complicated, and he asked.

"Seventy percent."

Suddenly said directly.

"Even if we are only 10% sure, we must not give up!"

Li Si trembled with some excitement and said, "Without further ado, we should immediately wave our army to that walled city and rescue Your Majesty and Wu Chenghou." ”

He was also secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he didn't act impulsively, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, Zhao Gao, although he was also rejoicing in his heart, was still mixed with a little regret.

After the two nodded slightly, they walked out of the tent directly.

"Li Xiang, what I said before ......"

Zhao Gao's eyes flickered, and he said to Li Si.

It's just that before he finished speaking, Li Si waved his hand and interrupted: "I haven't heard what Zhao Fuling said. ”

How could he not understand what Zhao Gao was worried about.

"Thank you, Lee Sang!"

Zhao Gao's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he bowed to Li Si.

He also breathed a heavy sigh of relief in his heart, if His Majesty was really alive, then what he had done in the past few days would be tantamount to rebellion, and the sin would not be forgiven!

If Li Si tells His Majesty everything, although His Majesty has spared him once in the past, but this time, His Majesty will never spare him again, and he will definitely die.

"Zhao Fu Ling, you and I are both His Majesty's courtiers, Your Majesty is here, we must not have two hearts."

Li Si glanced at Zhao Gao deeply and reminded.

"I understand!"

Zhao Gao nodded hurriedly.

He is not stupid, he can have his current status and status, all of which are given by His Majesty.

If he could, he hoped that His Majesty would indeed live forever.

As long as His Majesty is alive for a day, he Zhao Gao will not and dare not have two hearts.

But if Your Majesty is gone......

Zhao Gao and Li Si glanced at each other and nodded tacitly.

Immediately, they strode out of the tent.

……

Walled City, in the courtyard of a small western-style building.

Zhao Heng, Ying Zheng, and Wang Jian were holding a piece of corn and gnawing on it.

"Sir, if the First Emperor worships you as prime minister, with a golden seal and purple ribbon, what should you do?"

Ying Zheng suddenly turned his gaze and asked Zhao Heng: "Although the walled city is good, it is far less big than the world, if you are the prime minister of Great Qin, under one person, above ten thousand, in charge of the world, whether it is universal education or changing the law, it can be directly implemented in the entire Great Qin." ”

"If you don't do it, the first emperor will die, and Daqin will be in chaos, won't I become a big fool when I become the prime minister of Daqin at this time?"

Zhao Heng shook his head directly and said: "What's more, Hu Hai's Tie Hanhan is not a holy lord worthy of service, I might as well do it myself to help him fight the world." ”
