Chapter 73 (5)
General, we've looked around, and there's no way out here. "The two soldiers have been looking for a way out for several days in a row, but the weeds are overgrown everywhere, and there is no way out of the cliffs at all.
Meng Tian and them have been trapped under this for the past few days, and they can only rely on some wild fruits to support, but it is not a long-term solution to go on like this.
Meng Tian knew that he had to go back, everyone was still waiting for him, Meng Tian looked at the cliffs around him, it was impossible to climb up.
But after searching for the past few days, they found that there was no way out of this place at all, and they would all starve to death here if they continued like this.
"Don't give up, there is always a way to live." Meng Tian saw his two soldiers, and everything was full of calm comfort.
The two soldiers listened to Meng Tian's words, and nodded at the same time, and they worshiped Meng Tian like gods.
At this time, Xianyang City set off an uproar, Qin Shi Huang received Li Si's report, Long Yan was furious, and sent the old lady and the people of Zhao Mansion into the prison.
Gongzi Fusu tried his best to argue, but there was no way, and in the end, Qin Shi Huang directly did not meet Gongzi Fusu.
Loei and Muchi were very anxious to get the news, but there was nothing they could do.
In the prison, Li Si sat quietly in front of the old lady and poured her a cup of tea, and then said with a friendly smile: "Old lady, I am really wronged that you are staying here." β
The old lady looked at Li Si with a smile on her face, and did not please him as usual, but quietly picked up the tea handed over by Li Si, took a sip and said, "I don't know what the Prime Minister wants?" β
"Actually, we could have avoided this." Seeing the old lady's expression, Li Si knew that the old lady also knew it in her heart, so she no longer pretended, and said directly: "Zhao Gao, in fact, I admire him very much, and I also intended to recruit him, but it's a pity that he is bent on Meng Tian and opposes me everywhere, so since he can't be my person, it's useless to keep it." β
"Gao Er has never thought about involving the court, he has been friends with General Meng for many years, his friend is in trouble, how can he see death and not save him, if Gao Er sees death and does not save him, how can he get your sharp eyes to treat the Prime Minister?" The old lady put the teacup on the table and said quietly, but her heart was already turbulent.
"So I still look at him differently, not to mention that my family Yue'er still likes Zhao Gao very much, but his arrogance is too strong now, if he doesn't grind it and frustrate his sharpness, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle this kind of person." Li Si looked at the calm old lady and continued.
"So you put all the people in the Zhao Mansion into the heavenly prison?" The old lady felt that she was really funny before, no wonder her son was unwilling to be close to her, why did she think of taking refuge in this kind of person at that time?
"Old lady, don't talk nonsense." Li Si listened to the old lady's words, and said with a serious expression: "It was not I who sent you to the prison, it was you who fornicated with foreign enemies and were sent to the prison by Your Majesty." β
"You know that this evidence is fake, and we have never fornicated with foreign enemies." Only then did the old lady understand what it meant to be a foreign enemy, and these were just Li Si's tactics.
"The evidence is conclusive, so why should the old lady quibble?" Li Si also took a sip of the tea in front of him, and then said calmly: "There will always be someone to recruit the eighteen torture instruments in this prison." β
"Prime Minister, are you going to make a move?" The old lady listened to Li Si's words, her brows furrowed deeply, and the anger on her face was already there
I can't hold it back.
"Old lady, how can this be said to be a trick?" You saw the anger on the old lady's face, and said with a smile.
"What do you want?" The old lady was afraid that Zhao Gao would be implicated, and although she was angry in her heart, she still tried to suppress it.
"Didn't I say that? I still like Zhao Gao a person, but he is too arrogant and needs to be honed. Lees said again.
"Do you think you'll succeed?" The old woman's heart was already flustered, but her face was still very calm.
How could this old fox be fooled? He looked at the old lady and shook his head, and said with a smile: "With your current situation, do you still think I am very successful?" β
"Your Majesty will deal with it impartially." The old lady still believes in her heart that what she has not done, His Majesty will give her justice.
"Maybe you don't know the situation yet." Li Si looked at the old lady making the last struggle, and broke it with a smile on his face and said: "Meng Tian is missing, Your Majesty is worried about this matter, he will not care about the affairs of the scheming at all, and now His Majesty's heart only wants to find him, a general." β
The old lady listened to Li Si's words, and finally pretended not to be able to continue, the old lady looked at Li Si and said fiercely: "You have been planning this series of things for a long time, right?" β
Li Si listened to the old lady's words, smiled and did not answer, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
"How can you let my son go?" The old lady knew that she couldn't escape from Li Si's palm, and there was already a trace of despair in her eyes.
"How to save Zhao Gao, I think you know very well old lady." Li Si looked at the old lady with a smile on his face, his face full of meaning.
The old lady was silent, she kept looking at Li Si, as if she was going to tear Li Si apart, and the hatred in her heart spread infinitely.
"That's all for now, it's up to you, old lady, to decide." Li Si didn't stay any longer, stood up and looked at the old lady and said.
Li Si knew that the old lady was a smart person, so he naturally understood the meaning of his words, and he was afraid that he didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter.
Watching Li Si leave, the old lady finally couldn't hold on anymore, she had been holding her waist stiffly, but now she was slowly bent down.
There was a trace of tears in the old lady's eyes, and she remembered Zhao Gao's figure in her mind, and the old woman now understood that what Zhao Gao said before was right.
What power, status, money, these faΓ§ade things, will eventually crush them.
The old lady's heart began to regret, if she hadn't provoked Li Si in the first place, would there be no misfortune today? If I were willing to listen to my son and live a simple life without worrying about food and drink, would I be happier over the years?
But it was all too late, the old lady slowly closed her eyes, and now there was no way out, all hope had been cut off, and there was only one way left.
The old lady opened her eyes again, as if she had made a major decision, and her eyes were full of determination.
Zhao Gao didn't know anything about Xianyang City at this time, and now he was about to reach the border, and he could deliver the grain and grass in one more day's journey.
"Zhao Gongzi, you're about to reach the border, do you need to take a break?" One of the entourages of the Gongzi Fusu faction looked at Zhao Gao, who was tired and had lost weight under the escort of grain and grass along the way
After a lot, I thought that I was about to arrive, and it didn't matter if I rested for a while.
"No need." Zhao Gao listened to the words of his entourage, shook his head and said, "The soldiers at the border are still waiting for us, they are almost there, just support it a little longer." β
"Yes." The entourage looked at Zhao Gao with admiration and said, he didn't expect Zhao Gao to look like a soft and weak son, but he had such strong perseverance, which really made him admire.
Zhao Gao rushed to the border with everyone non-stop, and at this time at the border, the Xiongnu did not attack again, because Shi Ming thought of a way that made the Xiongnu dare not rush forward for a while.
Takagi and the others, who had been able to breathe a sigh of relief, could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but their food and grass had already been in short supply, and it was the people in the city who gave them their own food in the past few days to survive these days.
General Lin and General Wu always felt that the Xiongnu did not attack, but wanted to wait until the city was empty of grain and grass, so that they could take the border without difficulty.
Just when they were anxious about the grain and grass, Zhao Gao finally arrived with a large amount of grain and grass.
The moment Gao Mu and the others saw Zhao Gao, they were actually stunned, Zhao Gao looked at the group of people in front of him, as if they were more mature than before.
"What? Don't recognize me in months? Zhao Gao said with a smile on his face, his face full of tiredness.
"Why did you send the grain and grass?" Shi Ming stepped forward and asked with concern: "Your face is so bad, do you want to find a military doctor to take a look?" β
"It's okay, just rest for a few days." Zhao Gao shook his head and said.
Zhao Gao looked at Gao Mu and the others, but never saw Meng Tian's figure, Zhao Gao asked curiously, "What about Lao Meng?" Why don't you see him? β
"General Meng, he ......" Shi Ming didn't know how to speak.
Mu Qi on the side looked at Shi Ming, who was about to speak, and took a step forward and said slowly: "General Meng, he disappeared half a month ago. β
"Lao Meng is missing? What's going on? When Zhao Gao heard Mu Qi say that Meng Tian was missing, he suddenly asked anxiously.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao's eyes darkened, and he fell straight to the ground like this.
Zhao Gao fainted, so frightened that Gao Mu and others immediately called the military doctor to check, and after a careful examination by the military doctor, he said: "He's fine, it's just that he's tired for a long time, and he will faint just after being stimulated, and he will wake up after resting for a while." β
"Thank you, med." Takagi and the others saluted respectfully to the military doctor and said gratefully.
The medic nodded, and then left, there were still many wounded outside who needed his care.
Gao Mu and the others looked at Zhao Gao, who was lying on the bed with a pale face and no blood, and looked at his emaciated figure, and knew how much he had suffered and suffered in order to escort the grain and grass in the past few days.
Zhao Gao slept this time, and slept directly for a day and a night, because the grain and grass escorted by Zhao Gao allowed the entire border soldiers to solve the food and clothing situation for a period of time.
Although they didn't know why it was Zhao Gao who sent the grain and grass, it was obvious that a big situation had happened in Xianyang City.
Mu Qi came to see that the flags were planted on these two fields, which were the flags of his own shop, which showed that this was not grain and grass at all, but rice and grain in his own shop.
With so much rice coming in a cart after car, seeing that something big really happened in Xianyang City, at this time, Mu Qi couldn't help but worry about his family in Xianyang City, worried about whether his father, mother, and sister were okay.
