Chapter Seventy-Nine: Take Away
Li Jiang kept watch in front of Zhao Gao's bed all night, because he was too sleepy, he fell asleep unconsciously.
When the sky was slightly bright, Zhao Gao woke up, with a cold sweat on his face, as if he had a terrible nightmare.
Zhao Gao opened his eyes, took a few breaths, and saw Li Jiang lying asleep in front of his bed, Zhao Gao silently reached out and touched Li Jiang's face, very light, very gentle, and cherished under his eyes.
Perhaps sensing the strangeness on his face, Li Jiang slowly opened his eyes, and Zhao Gao's emaciated face came into view.
"Ah Gao, are you awake?" When Li Jiang saw Zhao Gao wake up, he immediately felt sleepy, looked at Zhao Gao nervously and asked, "How is it, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
"I'm fine, I'm worried about you." Zhao Gao looked at Li Jiang with a worried face, knowing that her previous performance had worried her, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"It's fine." Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words, his nasal voice was a little heavy, his eyes were pantothenic, and his eyes were a little red.
"Jiang'er, thank you for letting my mother settle down." Zhao Gao is really very grateful to Li Jiang, if it weren't for Li Jiang, his mother would be a violent corpse wilderness, Zhao Gao only now found out that it was really useless to be a son.
"I'm sorry!" Li Jiang was very sad in his heart, so he could only apologize to Zhao Gao: "I couldn't save the old lady." ”
"Silly girl, this is not something you can solve." Zhao Gao was very calm at the moment, but began to comfort Li Jiang.
Zhao Gao's abnormal performance made Li Jiang even more scared, Li Jiang would rather Zhao Gao cry like before, than he would be as calm as he was at the moment.
Li Jiang suddenly remembered the old lady's words, and was shocked, thinking about it, Zhao Gao was afraid that he wanted to take revenge, Li Jiang immediately took Zhao Gao's hand and said, "Ah Gao, don't do stupid things." ”
"Jiang'er, don't worry, how could I?" Zhao Gao's face was still calm, but there was not the slightest warmth in his tone.
"Ah Gao, the old lady has something for me to bring to you." Li Jiang naturally didn't believe Zhao Gao's words, although Zhao Gao was very calm, Li Jiang could feel the difference between Zhao Gao and Zhao Gao in front of him now.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Gao listened to Li Jiang's words, a trace of waves appeared on his originally calm face, his hands were clenched, and he asked with some trembling.
"The old lady said that she was wrong in the past, she wanted to restore the glory of the Zhao Mansion in the past, but in the end the Zhao Mansion was destroyed in her hands, I really regret that for so many years, I failed to understand your expectations, and never gave you a mother's care, and now it is too late to regret it, I just hope that you can live the life you want, and don't fall into these intrigues again." Li Jiang told Zhao Gao what he said to himself in the prison, and the old lady told him as it was.
Zhao Gao listened to Li Jiang's words, and was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "I know." ”
Li Jiang couldn't understand Zhao Gao's heart at the moment, and suddenly thought of the old lady's last sentence, it seems that you are really the mother of the knowing son, Zhao Gao has always been unable to let go.
The sky gradually brightened, Li Jiang looked at the weak Zhao Gao, and knew that he needed to be alone now, so he said softly: "Ah Gao, you must be hungry, I'll make some porridge for you." ”
Zhao raised his head and did not answer Li Jiang, who sighed silently and left when he saw this.
Li Jiang knew that Zhao Gao needed to be alone for a while now, and all he could do now was to stay by his side silently
, support him, encourage him.
Li Jiang quickly boiled a light porridge, and was about to go to Zhao Gao when he suddenly heard a commotion at the door.
Shang Shangzao and Li Jiang glanced at each other, Shang Shangzao frowned, and felt that something was wrong, so he said to Li Jiang: "Miss Li, you go in first, I'll open the door." ”
"I'm tired." Li Jiang didn't shirk either, hearing the commotion outside the door, Li Jiang also felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly walked into Zhao Gao's room with porridge.
Outside the gate of Loei, at this moment, a group of men and horses surrounded the entire Loei province, and there was an officer and soldier in front of the gate who kept banging on the gate of Loei, and the people who came and went on the street stopped to watch.
As soon as Shang Shangzao opened the door, he saw such a situation, because Shang Shangzao was rarely on the road in Xianyang City, so no one knew.
It's just that Shang Shang's mighty armor is very eye-catching, everyone knows that it is the armor of the Mengjia army, and it must not be an ordinary soldier in this line.
The officer and soldier who knocked on the door were suppressed by the majesty of Shang Shangzao's body, and the officer and soldier who was originally thinking that as long as the other party opened the door, he would not give them a good face.
But as soon as Shang Shangzao came out, for a while, the officer and soldier were so frightened that they didn't even dare to say anything.
"What's the matter with you?" Shang Shangzao saw a group of officers and soldiers surrounding Loei and said loudly with a displeased face.
Hearing Shang Shangzao's words, the officers and soldiers who knocked on the door came back to their senses, straightened their bodies and said: "Someone reported last night that the remnants of Zhao Mansion sneaked back to Xianyang City and hid in Loei Mansion. ”
"What remnants of the Zhao Mansion? You must be mistaken, go back, there is no one you want. Although Shang Shangzao knew that the person they were talking about was Zhao Gao, he also knew that Zhao Gao would never let them take him away, so he said coldly.
"Your Excellency." Seeing that Shang Shangzao did not cooperate, although there was a resentment in his heart, he did not dare to offend, so he could only respectfully salute and said: "We are under the orders of the Prime Minister, and I hope that the Lord will not be embarrassed." ”
The movement at the gate of the Li Mansion was getting louder and louder, and Zhao Gao had just finished drinking the porridge brought by Li Jiang when he heard the voice at the door, and asked without opening: "Is there something going on outside?" ”
"It's okay, Ah Gao, Shang Shangzao has already dealt with it." Although Li Jiang was also very worried in his heart, he still said softly with a smile on his face.
But how can things be so simple? Shang Shangzao didn't let people in, and the officers and soldiers outside didn't leave, and a group of people kept froze there, because they were afraid of Shang Shangzao's official position, and the leading officers and soldiers had to send someone to report to Li Si.
The people on the street are pointing fingers at what is happening in Loei, and although they don't know what happened, the situation is not simple.
Li Si was very interested in this Shang Shangzao, so he followed people to Loei.
As soon as Li Si arrived in Loei, he saw that the two sides were now deadlocked in front of Loei, and Li Si looked at the strange Shang Shangzao and walked up.
"Your Excellency." When the leading officers and soldiers saw Li Si coming, they kept saluting respectfully and said.
Shang Shangzao heard the other party's salutation, and also respectfully saluted and said, "Prime Minister." ”
"I don't know if you're it?" Li Si didn't know Shang Shangzao either, so he asked curiously.
"Prime Minister, humble position
It was a Shangzao under General Meng. Shang Shangzao didn't hide it, and said directly.
"It turned out to be made by the top." Li Sishang showed a smile and said, "I don't know what Shangzao means by stopping at this door?" ”
"I don't know why the Prime Minister led troops to surround this Loei Province?" Shang Shang asked back.
"Didn't you keep up with the reason?" Li Si did not directly answer Shang Shangzao, but reprimanded the leading officers and soldiers.
"Prime Minister, the reason for the humiliation has been explained, but ......" The officers and soldiers who took the lead looked at Shang Shangzao with a look of embarrassment and said.
"Oh?" Li Si listened to what the officers and soldiers who took the lead said, looked at Shang Shangzao with a puzzled expression and asked, "Since Shangzao knows the reason why they came, why do you want to stop it?" ”
"Your Excellency, the humble position is just under the orders of General Meng to protect everyone in Loei." Shang Shangzao was not afraid of Li Si, and said directly.
Shang Shangzao and Li Si have been at a stalemate at the door, and the movement is getting bigger and bigger, Zhao Gao already knows what happened at the door, and he got up and prepared to go out.
"Ah Gao, don't go out." Seeing that Zhao Gao was about to go out, Li Jiang immediately stood up and stopped Zhao Gao and said.
"Jiang'er, this is because of me, and it must be solved by me." Zhao Gao knew that he couldn't hide today, and he never thought about dodging.
"Don't!" Li Jiang looked at Zhao Gao, his eyes were slightly red, and he shook his head and pleaded.
"Jiang Er, you stay in this room, don't go out." Zhao Gao is still worried about this Li Jiang and doesn't want her to be hurt in the slightest.
Li Jiang watched Zhao Gao leave his side, his hands fell weakly, and tears kept falling.
Zhao Gao walked out of the Li Mansion and looked at Li Si standing at the door, his face was calm, and he couldn't see what Zhao Gao was thinking at all.
In fact, Zhao Gao had already figured it out, even if he was not in Xianyang City, he also wanted to understand that all this must be Li Si's conspiracy.
Zhao Gao hated Li Si at this time to pick his skin, drink his blood, and eat his flesh.
"Brother Zhao." Li Si didn't have a trace of surprise when he saw Zhao Gao come out, because Li Si still knew Zhao Gao well, and now that they had such a big motive to make trouble at the gate of the Li Mansion, Zhao Gao would definitely not hide.
"Zhao Gongzi, why did you come out?" Shang Shangzao saw Zhao Gao walking out, and immediately stepped forward and said.
Zhao Gao shook his head at Shang Shangzao, then silently walked in front of Li Si, and said expressionlessly: "I've already come out, take your people and leave." ”
"Brother Zhao, refresh." Li Si said with a smile on his face.
But how ironic this smile was in Zhao Gao's eyes, Zhao Gao couldn't wait to poke a hole in his heart directly, and then see if his heart was really so black.
"Zhao Gongzi, you can't go with him." Shang Shangzao pulled Zhao Gao and said anxiously.
"It's okay, you can protect Loei for me." Zhao Gao said to Shang Shangzao.
"That's it, Brother Zhao, please." Li Si saw that Zhao Gao did not resist, and the smile on his face became more obvious.
Just as Zhao Gao was about to leave with Li Si, he didn't expect Li Jiang to rush out of the Li Mansion and shouted to Zhao Gao: "Ah Gao." ”
Zhao Gao obviously didn't expect Li Jiang to come out, obviously he told her not to come out, Zhao Gao stiffened his back and turned over, and before he could react, he heard Li Si next to him say with surprise: "You ......"
