Li Si didn't do anything to Zhao Gao, but just locked Zhao Gao in a prison without asking.

But this is also a torment for Zhao Gao, the hatred in his heart cannot be extinguished, and he is also very worried about Li Jiang in his heart, Zhao Gao is afraid that Li Si will do something to Li Jiang, but he is now trapped in the prison and can't do anything, so he can only be anxious,

Over time, Zhao Gao became very irritable, and he went on a hunger strike or threw all kinds of things at every turn, but Li Si was like it on purpose, and Zhao Gao kept sending food to the prison after a hunger strike, no matter how many things Zhao Gao broke, it didn't take long for a new one to be sent to the prison.

In fact, Li Si did it on purpose, he just wanted to torture Zhao Gao like this, and he wanted to wear out the arrogant backbone in him.

As time passes, Zhao Gao's initial insistence in his heart has slowly begun to waver, and sometimes he can only vent his emotions everywhere when he loses it, and Zhao Gao now only has the fan that Li Jiang once gave him.

When Zhao Gao couldn't suppress his emotions, he would take out a fan and watch quietly, and saw another delicate face through the fan.

Meng Tian quickly defeated the Xiongnu with a thunderous force on the border, and then immediately returned to the dynasty with his son Fusu.

Because, Shang Shangzao had already passed on all the things that happened in Xianyang City to Meng Tian, Meng Tian was very anxious in his heart, and completely expanded his momentum as a god of war, because with the support of Gongzi Fusu grain and grass, coupled with the heroic fighting of the Meng family's army, he completely turned the disadvantage into an advantage.

Seeing this situation, the Huns had to retreat, although Adol was unwilling, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and retreat.

Meng Tian wanted to take all the matters on the border, and then hurried back to Xianyang City, Gao Mu and the others saw that the war was decided, although they couldn't catch up with Meng Tian, but they returned to Xianyang City in advance.

Zhao Gao was locked up in the prison for more than half a month, and on this day Li Si came to the prison again, at this time, Zhao Gao had long lost his former look, the whole person was even thinner, and his face was also a little dirty, and the arrogance on his body had long disappeared, replaced by the uncertainty on his face.

"How? Is it okay to be in prison? Li Si asked knowingly.

"What did you do with her?" Zhao Gao's heart was still worried about Li Jiang, and he didn't beat around the bush, staring at Li Si and asking fiercely.

"Who are you talking about?" Li Si smiled and did not answer the question.

"You know." Zhao Gao's eyes were red, and the strength in his body was gradually increasing.

"Don't worry! I didn't do anything to the girl. Li Si had already determined the weight of Li Jiang in Zhao Gao's heart, and he no longer hung his appetite, and said directly.

"......" Zhao Gao listened to Li Si's words and looked at Li Si's face with some disbelief.

Li Si was not angry, Zhao Gao's defense of him was normal, Li Si still said with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't lie to you, with your current situation, what did I do to lie to you?" ”

After Zhao Gao heard this, he ignored Li Si, and then quietly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and then kept silent.

"You're still worried about her, why aren't you worried about your own situation?" Li Si was very curious, with Zhao Gao's current situation, shouldn't he worry about himself first? After hearing that the woman was fine, she became silent.

"It's been so long, if you wanted to do anything to me, you would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now

This? Zhao Gao said calmly, judging the two of them from the irritable appearance just now.

Seeing this, Li Si was even more curious, it seemed that he still didn't know much about Zhao Gao, and he was really an interesting person, Li Si felt that the more difficult the person to conquer, the more he liked to make him submit to his authority.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, I believe that you will always become the same person as me in the future." Li Si looked at Zhao Gao and said thoughtfully.

"If that happens, the first person I'll kill will be you." Zhao Gao knew that Li Si would definitely not kill him, and he didn't care about it, and said with hatred in his eyes.

"I'm looking forward to that." Li Si didn't care about the hatred in Zhao Gao's eyes and the threat in his mouth, but said with a smile on his face: "By the way, I came here today just to tell you a good news, Meng Tian is about to return to the court, is your heart full of hope again?" ”

"He's coming back?" Zhao Gao listened to Li Si's words, and his heart finally had ups and downs, as Li Si said, Zhao Gao's heart, which was originally like stagnant water, had waves again.

"It should be in Xianyang City in less than three days." Li Si also told the truth.

Zhao Gao listened to Li Si's words and looked at Li Si with a puzzled expression, not knowing what he wanted to plan in his heart? Seeing this, the smile on Li Si's face became even worse, and he said slowly: "I want to know why I want to tell you this news?" ”

Zhao Gao saw that his thoughts were seen through, and he didn't dodge, he looked directly at his face, wanting to see what Li Si wanted to plan?

"Actually, from the beginning, I didn't want to kill you." Li Si directly said what he thought in his heart, because Li Si had no killing intent towards Zhao Gao from the beginning, not to mention that if Zhao Gao could use it for himself in the future, he would be a big helper.

And Li Si is very sure, and he is very much looking forward to Zhao Gao in the future, Li Si knows that Zhao Gao is actually the same kind of person as himself, perhaps, to put it more thoroughly, Zhao Gao will do more than himself.

"......" Zhao Gao did not speak again.

Since learning that Meng Tian was about to return to Xianyang City, Zhao Gao's heart had settled down a lot, and there were many expectations, but as everyone knows, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Li Si didn't say anything more, just said with a leisurely face: "I don't think you can stay in this prison for a few more days, so let's enjoy it for a few more days." ”

After Li Si finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back, Zhao Gao looked at Li Si's back, a little thoughtful.

As Li Si said, Meng Tian returned to Xianyang City three days later, and Meng Tian, who returned to Xianyang City, did not rest, but entered Xianyang Palace directly with a bang.

Qin Shi Huang saw Meng Tian return safely and brought good news, and his heart was so happy that he went to the palace gate to greet Meng Tian.

"Meng Tian see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live, long live!" Meng Tian knelt down respectfully and said in his loud voice.

"Meng Aiqing, please hurry up." Qin Shi Huang looked at Meng Tian and was very happy in his heart, and did not blame Meng Tian for leaving the army and returning to the dynasty alone, but took a step forward to help Meng Tian up, and said with a smile: "This time, I am very worried about the hard work of Meng Aiqing. ”

"Thank you for your concern." Meng Tian was originally helped up by Qin Shi Huang, and when he heard Qin Shi Huang's words, he made another salute.

"I've prepared for Meng Aiqing in the palace to catch the wind and wash the dust, let's hurry in now." Qin Shi Huang's heart is a great joy

, has already ordered people to prepare wine in the temple to wash the dust for Meng Tian.

Although Meng Tian was worried and worried about Zhao Gao, he did not refuse Qin Shi Huang, because he knew that it was not a good time here, and Meng Tian needed a time to intercede for Zhao Gao.

In fact, Zhao Gao was imprisoned in the prison, Qin Shi Huang didn't know, and Li Si didn't tell Qin Shi Huang about it.

In the main hall, Qin Shi Huang sat in a wheelchair, his face was full of smiles, and the ministers in the palace were also full of smiles, praising each other.

"Meng Aiqing has a meritorious service in retreating from the enemy this time, what kind of reward do you want?" Qin Shi Huang asked Meng Tian with a smile on his face.

Meng Tian listened to Qin Shi Huang's words, immediately stood up, walked to the center of the main hall, and then knelt down respectfully, and said to Qin Shi Huang: "The minister does not need a reward, the minister only has one thing to ask His Majesty for mercy." ”

"Oh, what do you want from Meng Aiqing?" Qin Shi Huang was very interested in what Meng Tian said.

"Your Majesty, the previous Zhao Mansion collaborated with the enemy and treason, in fact, there is another hidden situation, and now the Zhao Mansion is raiding the house, but Zhao Gao has made a contribution to sending grain to the border, and now he is imprisoned in the prison, and I hope Your Majesty will be kind to re-investigate this matter." Meng Tian directly told Zhao Gao about something, and Meng Tian wanted to exchange his reward for Zhao Gao's safety.

"Zhao Gao?" Qin Shi Huang knew about Zhao's collaboration with the enemy and betrayed the country, but he didn't know anything about Zhao Gao, and his face was full of doubts when he heard Meng Tian's plea.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Li Si also stood up, saluted Qin Shi Huang, and then said: "Zhao Gao is the only son of Zhao Fu, and when he returned to Xianyang City a few days ago, the minister put him in prison, wanting to find out whether Zhao Fu's crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country had anything to do with him. ”

"You are talking nonsense, it is impossible for the Zhao Mansion to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and the manuscript of the catapult is only known to me, Your Majesty and the people of the Loei Mansion, where did the Zhao Mansion get it?" Meng Tian retorted.

"General Meng, you will kill the enemy on the border, naturally you don't know what happened in Xianyang City, regardless of whether this manuscript was leaked by the Zhao Mansion or not, but it is true that the evidence of collaborating with the enemy and treason has been found in the Zhao Mansion, and Your Majesty has been convicted." Li Si was not afraid of Meng Tian at all, but pushed the matter to Qin Shi Huang's side.

How could the Son of Heaven think that what he was doing was wrong? When Qin Shi Huang heard Li Si's words, he didn't want to argue about this matter, and said directly: "The evidence in this matter is conclusive, so Meng Aiqing doesn't need to mention it again." ”

"Your Majesty." Although Meng Tian was unwilling, he saw that the smile on Qin Shi Huang's face gradually faded, so he could only change his words and say: "Zhao Gao has made great contributions to the border military rations, and I hope that Your Majesty will be gracious, Zhao Gao is absolutely innocent." ”

"Your Majesty." Li Si listened to Meng Tian's words, and immediately saluted Qin Shi Huang and said: "General Meng is right, after these days of investigation, the Zhao Mansion collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and only the old lady planned it, and Zhao Gao didn't know about it. ”

Meng Tian couldn't believe that Li Si would let Zhao Gao go, this is the current situation, Meng Tian can't investigate deeply, he has to rescue Zhao Gao first.

Qin Shi Huang listened to Li Si's words, and didn't want to delve into what he was doing, so he smiled and said: "Since the prime minister has found out the truth of the matter, let him go." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Meng Tian arrived at Qin Shi Huang to prepare to release him, and his heart finally fell.

But at this time, Li Si opened his mouth again: "Your Majesty, although Zhao Gao is unaware, but the Zhao Mansion has been convicted of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and Zhao Gao's death crime can be spared from the crime of living." ”
