Qin Shi Huang ordered that after the old lady was sentenced to death, she was hung above the city gate and not restrained for three days.

People who come and go, at the beginning, point fingers, and then it is not strange to see them later.

On the third day, because the body had been exposed to the sun for three days, it had begun to stink.

Li Jiang, Li Lao and Xiaobao, waited for the evening of the third day, and in the early morning of the fourth day, they finally put the old lady's body from the city wall, and a foul smell filled their noses, Li Jiang did not dislike it at all, but carried the body onto the cart that had been prepared long ago with tears in his eyes.

Li Jiang and the others fainted the old lady's teachers and students to the cemetery where everything had been prepared, Li Jiang roughly cleaned up the old lady's body, and then the three of them replaced the old lady's body into the coffin and buried it hastily.

The so-called soil is safe, the entire Zhao Mansion is gone, and Zhao Gao is also at the border, there is no news, so after Li Jiang discussed with Li Lao, he decided to bury the old lady first, and then deal with all the matters after the bad return.

After burying the old lady hastily, Li Jiang and Xiaobao knelt down and kowtowed respectfully three times, while Li Lao made a salute on the side, and the three left.

Because, they still remember that Zhao Gaolin had repeatedly told him before leaving, absolutely not to leave Loei, and now that the old lady has passed away, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the three of them hurried back to Loei.

It's just that they don't know that every move they make is being watched.

When the watchdog saw that they had returned to the Loei Mansion, they hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it turned out that this person was sent by Li Si to keep an eye on the old lady's corpse, just to see who else in this huge Xianyang City would help the Zhao Mansion.

"People from Loei?" Li Si listened to the report and waved his hand to signal him to stand down.

A smile of unknown meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that Loei could not keep it.

Maybe it's a close relative, maybe it's because the blood is thicker than water, Zhao Gao suddenly launched a high fever in the past few days, which lasted for three days, no matter how the military doctor used the medicine, it had no effect.

Meng Tian, Gao Mu and the others were already in a hurry, and Zhao Gao fell without warning.

In a coma, Zhao Gao seemed to see his mother in a dream, he didn't know what he wanted to say to himself, he wanted to get closer, but every time he took a step, he felt that his mother was much farther away from him, and his body felt more and more tired.

After the third day, Zhao Gao's high fever subsided, and the blood on his face slowly recovered, which reassured everyone.

When Zhao Gao woke up again, he felt that his whole body was weak, and he broke out in a cold sweat from time to time, and he was always easily frightened.

Meng Tian and the others all said that maybe Zhao Gao was tired, but only Zhao Gao knew in his heart, but something was slowly moving away from him.

Zhao Gao began to worry about whether there was an accident in Xianyang City, worried about whether his mother was sick? Worried about whether something happened in Loei? Worried about whether Li Jiang is doing well?

Because of the war, Meng Tian couldn't leave, and Meng Tian didn't worry about Zhao Gao, who had just woken up from illness, to leave, so he promised to take him back to Xianyang City as soon as the war was over.

It's just that things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, how can you say that it can be over, looking at the indefinite deadline, the uneasiness in Zhao Gao's heart became bigger and bigger, until Gongzi Fusu escorted the grain and grass to come.

Childe Fusu has already found the missing batch of grain

grass, and after more than half a month, the grain and grass were successfully transported to the border, I don't know if the Huns received the news and retreated at the same time.

Gongzi Fusu looked at the emaciated Zhao Gao, pursed his lips, and there was you dodging in his eyes.

Zhao Gao quickly caught Gongzi Fusu's flickering gaze, and the uneasiness in his heart became bigger and bigger, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Gongzi Fusu, is everything okay in Xianyang City?" ”

"Zhao Gongzi ......" After listening to Zhao Gao's inquiry, Gongzi Fusu didn't know how to answer him for a while, so he could only take a step forward, and then slowly held his shoulder, and said with a sad face: "I'm sorry, I have failed your trust." ”

"Is something going on?" Zhao Gao listened to Gongzi Fusu's words, and his heart cooled a lot for a moment, and sure enough, did his worry come true?

"The Zhao Mansion is gone." Gongzi Fusu didn't dare to look at Zhao Gao's eyes, and said with a slight pout.

"What do you mean that the Zhao Mansion is gone?" Zhao Gao didn't react for a while, and asked in a daze.

"Before, General Lin reported a letter, saying that there were spies in Xianyang City, leaking catapults, causing heavy losses in the army, and also causing General Meng Tian to disappear, His Majesty ordered an inquiry, and found evidence of the crime in the Zhao Mansion." Gongzi Fusu told everything that happened in Xianyang City.

"Impossible." Zhao Gao listened to Gongzi Fusu's words, and immediately denied it: "Zhao Mansion, how can you collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?" We haven't even seen a catapult. ”

"Of course I believe you." Childe Fusu sighed and said, "But your mother, she confessed. ”

Zhao Gao's eyes slowly widened, he couldn't believe what Gongzi Fusu said, how could his mother admit to the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?

"It's true." Gongzi Fusu saw Zhao Gao's face of disbelief, and said helplessly seriously: "The old lady admitted it in person above the main hall, and I heard it with my own ears. ”

"Mother, she must have been threatened." Zhao Gao knew that his mother would not admit it, unless someone threatened her and made her have to admit it, Zhao Gao asked worriedly: "How is my mother now?" I'm going to go back to Xianyang City right now to save her. ”

"It's too late." Gongzi Fusu's voice was full of sadness, and he said regretfully: "Your Majesty ordered the old lady to be sentenced to death, and now I am afraid that she will not be able to return to heaven." ”

"Impossible." Zhao Gao shook off Gongzi Fusu's hand, his body did not stand firmly, he took a few steps back suddenly, and almost fell to the ground.

"Zhao Gongzi, are you okay?" Gongzi Fusu wanted to step forward to help Zhao Gao, but Zhao Gao stretched out his hand to block it.

Zhao Gao never couldn't believe that he had just been away for a while, why did so many big things happen?

Meng Tian and Gao Mu and the others have always stood aside, because what Gongzi Fusu said, they were also surprised, especially Meng Tian, he knew that Zhao Gao would definitely not be able to accept this matter at this time, and he couldn't do anything about it.

"How long?" Zhao Gao took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself, and then asked through gritted teeth.

"What?" Gongzi Fusu was a little confused about Zhao Gao's sudden question.

"How long has it been since the execution?" Zhao Gao closed his eyes in pain, and his voice was full of tremors, which made people feel a little distressed.

"I'm afraid it's been more than half a month." Childe Fusu said truthfully.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier

？ Why don't you fly a pigeon and pass the book to me right away? Zhao Gao looked at Gongzi Fusu with some complaint and said.

Perhaps because of the deep complaint in his tone, Meng Tian had no choice but to step forward, put his hand on Zhao Gao's shoulder, and motioned for Zhao Gao to calm down.

However, the pain of losing his mother said that he could let it go, but fortunately, Gongzi Fusu was able to understand Zhao Gao's mood at this time, and he did not have any dissatisfaction, so he could only tell the facts: "This is what your mother does not allow." ”

It is true that Gongzi Fusu decided to inform Zhao Gao at the moment when the old lady was taken away, but the old lady seemed to have already known the result, and begged Gongzi Fusu not to inform Zhao Gao, and Gongzi Fusu couldn't stand the old lady's plea and agreed.

Why is that? I never thought about fighting, I didn't want to rob, but they never let me go. Zhao Gao's eyes were full of hatred and said, if the enemy was in front of him at this time, I am afraid that Zhao Gao would have already made his skin cramp.

Meng Tian saw Zhao Gao's hatred on his face, so he could only step forward to comfort him, wanting to give Zhao Gao a trace of warmth, but Zhao Gao pushed Meng Tian away, which was the first time Zhao Gao rejected Meng Tian.

Zhao Gao looked at Meng Tian and shook his head with despair in his eyes, and then ran away without looking back.

Because Meng Tian, Gao Mu and the others could not leave the barracks without authorization, Meng Tian could only party Shang Shangzao, who was more familiar with Zhao Gao, to chase after him, and let him protect Zhao Gao from leaving.

"I'm sorry, Gongzi Fusu, Zhao Gao lost his loved ones so out of control, please don't blame." Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao who was leaving, and hurriedly said to Gongzi Fusu.

"Teacher, this was originally entrusted by me and Zhao Gongzi, everything is my problem, how can I blame him?" Gongzi Fusu himself is a reasonable person, and he is incorruptible, fair, and virtuous, how can he be the kind of villain who holds grudges?

"Thank you for the grain and grass sent by Prince Fusu, and I thank Prince Fusu for all the Great Qin soldiers." Meng Tian saw that Fusu Gongzi did not blame Zhao Gao, so he changed the topic and said.

"That's as it should be, I just did what I could." Gongzi Fusu said modestly, you have no emotions in it.

Meng Tian looked at Gongzi Fusu and nodded with satisfaction.

Gao Mu and the others were very worried about Zhao Gao in their hearts, for so long, they had already regarded Zhao Gao as their friend, and now that Zhao Gao had changed so much, they couldn't sit down except for being anxious.

On the other side, Zhao Gao ran out of the barracks desperately, rode another war horse, and rode in the direction of Xianyang City without looking back.

Shang Shangzao was obviously shocked by Zhao Gao's move, but he thought of Meng Tian's words, so he hurriedly said to the brother guarding the door: "Tell General Meng that Zhao Gongzi has returned to Xianyang City on horseback." ”

"Yes, it's still made." The soldier guarding the door replied respectfully.

Shang Shangzao also immediately rode a fast horse and chased after him.

Zhao Gang rode his horse all the way and galloped, without stopping for a moment, Shang Shangzao chased after him, looked at the body swaying in front of him, and couldn't help but say loudly and worriedly: "Zhao Gongzi, you slow down." ”

But how could Zhao Gao pay attention to Shang Shangzao behind him, Zhao Gao now only has the figure of his mother in his mind, obviously he and his mother's figure have just eased, but they have suffered this catastrophe, and heaven and man are separated forever.

Zhao Gao didn't believe it, he was his father when he was young, and he didn't fight for anything, but now his mother still left him, why is this?
