Chapter 72 (4)

The old lady hasn't seen you for a long time. When Li Si saw the old lady looking at him, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, the old lady, it's just that someone reported it, let's do a routine search, and we will leave soon." ”

"That's how Prime Minister Lao Cheng." The old lady saluted Prime Minister Li Si with a frank face and said.

"Search." Li Si listened to the old lady's words, and saw that Gongzi Fusu didn't say anything more, so he immediately said to the people he brought.

"Yes." The people brought by Li Si, after listening to Li Si's words, immediately separated to search.

Gongzi Fusu, Li Si and the old lady and the Zhao Mansion waited silently in the courtyard.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the search was almost complete, a person suddenly shouted: "The Prime Minister has found it." ”

"What?" Gongzi Fusu and the old lady listened to the man's words, and said incredulously at the same time.

Gongzi Fusu and the old lady glanced at each other, Gongzi Fusu naturally knew that it was impossible for the Zhao Mansion to fornicate with foreign enemies, and it was obvious that someone had planted the blame.

After Gongzi Fusu and the old lady glanced at each other, the first person who came to mind at the same time was Li Si in front of him.

Li Si took the letter handed over by his subordinates, pretended to look at it, and then looked at the old lady and daughter in disbelief and said, "Are you really a foreign enemy?" ”

"Your Excellency." Gongzi Fusu looked at the letter in Li Si's hand and wanted to take it over to check, but how could Li Si hand it over to Gongzi Fusu, Gongzi Fusu saw that he couldn't get the letter, so he said, "Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Fusu Gongzi is not strange, His Majesty ordered the minister to investigate it personally, and the minister naturally presented all the evidence found to His Majesty for inspection." Li Si didn't care about the unhappy expression on Gongzi Fusu's face, but handed the letter in his hand to his subordinates for safekeeping.

"This is obviously a false accusation, can't the prime minister see it?" Gongzi Fusu knew that these letters must not be seen by his father, otherwise the Zhao Mansion would be in a catastrophe.

"The minister naturally believes in the innocence of the Zhao Mansion, or the prince of Fusu also believes in the innocence of the Zhao mansion, so he should not stop the minister, otherwise, what the prince of Fusu did is very intriguing, and it will make the world think that the prince of Fusu wants to shield them." Li Si had a smile on his face, his voice was normal, if he hadn't heard his words, he might have thought that they were just chatting about ordinary things, but the danger in Li Si's tone was full of danger.

"Since you believe in the innocence of the Zhao Mansion, you should find out and report it to Your Majesty, instead of disturbing Your Majesty about such non-factual things." Gongzi Fusu naturally heard the threat in Li Si's words, but Gongzi Fusu was not afraid, and still said frankly and sternly.

"Fusu Gongzi, Your Majesty ordered the ministers to investigate the matter of spies, and Fusu Gongzi, you are responsible for the grain and grass, since the Zhao Mansion is innocent, Fusu Gongzi should not take care of this matter, otherwise it will make people more suspicious of this matter." Li Si didn't want to offend Gongzi Fusu in this matter, after all, Gongzi Fusu was the most valued prince by His Majesty and the most likely person to inherit the throne.

"Fusu is above board, worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the people, the world knows my Fusu's integrity, and will never shield anyone, who will speculate?" Gongzi Fusu's integrity and virtuousness are known to the world, and Gongzi Fusu is not afraid of Li Si's words.

"What Fusu Gongzi said is naturally true, but the words are terrifying, the evidence is indeed found from the Zhao Mansion, if it is not handed over to His Majesty to verify clearly, I am afraid that it will be difficult

to convince the people. Li Si listened to Gongzi Fusu's words, the smile on his face was gone, Li Si respectfully saluted Gongzi Fusu and said: "If the minister remembers correctly, Zhao Gao is still on the way to transport grain and grass, that is, they really fornicate with foreign enemies, and this time the grain and grass are afraid that there will be problems and they will not be able to send it to the border." ”

Li Si's words, on the surface, seemed to be said to Gongzi Fusu, but secretly it was to poke the old lady's heart, the old lady saw Li Si mention Zhao Gao, her heart was shocked, and she hurriedly said to Li Si: "My son will not do such a thing." ”

"Old lady, I naturally believe in Zhao Gao's character, but the evidence is conclusive, if you don't find it out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and then ......" Li Si saw that the old lady was fooled, and kept saying in a hurry.

"Don't be alarmist." Gongzi Fusu is naturally not afraid of Li Si.

But the old lady couldn't, she couldn't let Zhao Gao have any danger, so the old lady fell for Li Si's trick and stopped Gongzi Fusu's words and said: "Prime Minister, I am willing to cooperate with all investigations, but my son is innocent, you must believe him." ”

"It's nature." Li Si saw that the old lady had fallen for the trick, and he felt proud for a while, but his face was serious and said: "Since I believe in the old lady and Zhao Gongzi, please rest assured, I will definitely return your innocence." ”

Gongzi Fusu looked at the old lady's eyes, and reluctantly let Li Si take the old lady and a servant girl from the Zhao Mansion away.

Although Gongzi Fusu was reluctant, the old lady had already made up her mind for the sake of higher safety, and Gongzi Fusu could not change it, so she could only find another way to get out of them.

On the other side, Zhao Gao didn't know what was happening in Xianyang City, and still worked hard to transport the grain and grass to the border, sleeping in the open along the way, without complaint.

was worried about the war on the border, and even more worried about Meng Tian and Gao Mu and others, but he didn't expect that leaving Xianyang City this time would be a major turning point in his life, allowing him to see clearly the warmth and coldness of the world and the injustice in this world.

The border has fallen into a crisis, Meng Tian has never returned, and the men sent out to find it have not found any information at all.

On the contrary, it was the Xiongnu, on the fifth day of Meng Tian's disappearance, Adore threw the Xiongnu army and launched an attack on the border, although General Lin and General Wu had already deployed the border from the beginning.

But the Huns attacked fiercely, and it was very difficult to resist, Gao Mu and the others still built the city wall, this was the first time they saw a real battlefield fighting, so ruthless, and countless lives were disappearing in the next second.

However, Takagi and the others did not have time to sigh, but fortunately they built catapults and placed them within the city wall to resist, so that they could repel the fierce Hun army again and again.

But after all, the big stones in the city are limited, and although Shang Shangzao took people to other places to transport the stones, he still didn't have time to make up for them.

In the end, the people in the border city looked at the soldiers of Daqin who defended their families regardless of life and death, resisting the Xiongnu, and looked at the soldiers who were sent to the city for treatment from time to time.

Perhaps it stirred up the fire in their hearts, and all the people went together to carry the big stones, and the others who remained began to take care of the wounded.

These injured Great Qin soldiers were actually the same age as many of their sons, and they should have enjoyed family fun at home, in order to protect them

The homeland is defending with their lives, and any dead soldier here may have relatives at home who are looking forward to their return to reunite.

With the help of the people in the city, the situation instantly changed for the better, the wounded soldiers were better cared for, and the stones were transported one after another.

But the stones thrown from the morale of the city were extremely powerful, but they were not so far away.

Every time the Huns attacked, there would always be some Huns who rushed to the city wall regardless of life and death, although each time the soldiers were repulsed, but it was not possible for a long time.

Shi Ming thought of a way, that is, when they were walking around the city, they saw a juggling troupe, and there was an acrobatic in it that was jumping the fire ring, which was originally an ordinary circle, and it was extremely thrilling to hand over the fire tour, and they felt extremely exciting at that time.

But now, Shi Ming thought of using the same method, if he poured fire on the big stone, the power would definitely be even greater.

So, Shi Ming explained his idea to others, and then got the unanimous agreement of the others.

Takagi and the others poured a thick layer of molten iron on the basket made of wood to prevent the basket from being burned by fire, while Shojo collected all kinds of oil and easy-to-reach items in the city.

General Lin and General Wu had to make a defense of the border guards and adjust their strategy, they always believed that Meng Tian would come back, and led them to defeat the Xiongnu.

When the Xiongnu attacked again, they poured fire oil on the stone, and after the burning stone flew out, most of the Xiongnu were killed and injured in an instant, and the power was half that of the previous one.

This time, the Xiongnu were easily defeated, and most of them were killed and wounded, and they fled in disarray.

Seeing this, the Great Qin soldiers shouted excitedly, this will definitely be able to delay for a longer time, and wait for General Meng to come back, but now there is another thing that makes them have a headache, that is, their food and grass are running out.

As Mu Qingshan said, Mu Qi took his token and found the rice shop, asked them to stop buying and selling, and transported all the grain and grass to the military camp.

But this can't last long, although it is a rice shop, but how long can so many soldiers be supplied? Looking at the grain and grass that is missing day by day, not only General Lin and General Wu, but even Gao Mu and others are also very troubled.

Now all they are looking forward to is that Xianyang City can collect all the grain and grass as soon as possible and transport it, Gao Mu and the others don't know that Zhao Gao is already on the way, and they don't know a series of major events that happened in Xianyang City.

Takagi and the others never thought that the war was so cruel, and the soldiers who were still talking to them one second might have been buried on the battlefield the next second, leaving only a cold corpse.

This may be that people's greed, power, status, and money are endless, and only those who pay blood are satisfied with them.

Meng Tian has been on the cliff for several days, and only three people have survived, Meng Tian's idea is right, but accidents are everywhere.

There used to be a dark river flowing at the bottom of the cliff, but as time went on, the river had long since dried up.

Meng Tian and the others jumped off the cliff, only Meng Tian and the other two soldiers were entangled in the green vines on the cliff, so they did not fall to the bottom of the cliff, and the other fallen soldiers had already been smashed into pieces, and their flesh and blood were blurred.
