The fast horses of the Shadow Guards galloped on the official roads of the Empire, and it was impossible for such a big battle not to attract the attention of Ying Zheng.

In the glorious Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng is located in the study, and the father-in-law who serves Ying Zheng is carefully accompanied outside the study, on the wide road outside the hall, a pair of guards are slowly advancing with the palace lamp in their hands, and behind the team of attendants, it is Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, who is wearing a bright red robe at this time, and his face is ordinary.

The attendant behind him retreated, and the father-in-law hurriedly walked over.

"Your Majesty is waiting for you in the study, please come in quickly."

Seeing that there was no one behind him, the father-in-law said, "Your Majesty's face is a little wrong, and you should be careful later." ”

"Your Majesty is in a bad mood for what?"

"The little one doesn't know and doesn't dare to talk nonsense, but the shadow guard came three quarters of an hour ago."

"The Shadow Guard has been here...... At this time. Zhao Gao had a bad premonition.

"Did Your Majesty say anything?"

The father-in-law shook his head, and then seemed to remember something.

This time, the father-in-law was more careful to come to Zhao Gao's side and said, "Your Majesty went to Concubine Li's bedroom yesterday. ”

"I see."

Zhao Gao raised his feet and went in, bowing his head and expressing his respect.

He didn't speak, because Ying Zheng didn't speak, where did he dare to speak, Zhao Gao just stood quietly aside, he was the best at understanding people's hearts, but he couldn't see through Ying Zheng, this was an emperor he couldn't control.

The oil lamp fireworks in the study have slowly settled, and the candle flame has become smaller, and the attendants waiting outside the study fill up the lamp oil, cut off the wick and replace it, and then go out again.

Ying Zheng looked at the scroll in his hand seriously, the pen in his hand did not stop for a moment, only occasionally there was anger or joy on his face, on the wide desk, only the sound of bamboo turning was left, everything seemed quiet, but Zhao Gao was faintly cold sweat behind him at this time, he was the person who knew His Majesty best, for him this meant the prelude to the storm.

Finally, when Ying Zheng was about to pick up the case from the side of the desk again, it was already empty, and he had already finished reading it.

Ying Zheng put down the pen in his hand, and then looked at Zhao Gao on the side.

He put aside one of the scrolls that had already been placed on the side and threw it beside Zhao Gao, "This is a secret report from Zhang Han, the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard, from Dong County, take a look!" ”

Zhao Gao held the report in his hand, he didn't look at the scroll but knelt down on one knee, "I am ashamed of my trust in Your Majesty." ”

"The actions of the nets in the East County can already be called unscrupulous, not to mention that the East County is this Xianyang, and there are many things I don't know about you Zhao Gao in this Xianyang Palace." Ying Zheng's tone was stern.

Zhao Gao and low didn't say a word, his back was already soaked in cold sweat, where is the momentum of the CRRC Mansion Order now, and where is it like the leader of the net.

However, Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief, because the more angry Yingzheng was now, it meant that his punishment for himself would not be too heavy.

Ying Zheng's tone had weakened significantly, "Zhao Gao, how long have you been following me?" ”

"It has been more than twenty years since the beginning of the Zhao Kingdom, Your Majesty."

"For more than 20 years, it's just that you have disappointed me too much, from today onwards, you will be stripped of your position as the commander of the CRRC government, and the direct command of the net will be handed over to Li Si, and I will already pass on this matter to Li Si."

Zhao Gao was shocked, but he kowtowed to thank him.

"It was Zhao Gao who disappointed His Majesty, and from today on, Zhao Gao will pray for His Majesty in the mansion."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao under the seat and seemed to be a little impatient, he had heard too much about such things, even to the point of getting bored, he waved his hand.

"Let's go!"

Xianyang City Night Li Si Mansion.

At night, Xianyang City is quiet and calm, and because of the curfew, there is no one to be seen on the street.

Li Si got up and came to the garden of the mansion and looked at the pear trees in the garden in a daze.

"Father."

A voice came from behind him.

"Yeliang also asked my father to take care of his body."

The man looked quite young, and like Li Si, he was wearing a dark blue robe, and the man came behind Li Si and draped a large coat for Li Si, this man was the son of Li Youli Si and was most valued by him.

"My father is worried about what happened, and it is not a matter of taking over the net."

This son of his own, although he is worse than himself in terms of knowledge, is very courageous, and can see at a glance why he is upset.

"Isn't it a good thing that my father takes over the net?"

Li Si shook his head and looked into the distance and said: "I am a civil servant, most of these people are outlaws with strong martial arts, and in their eyes, strength is respected, people like me can suppress them for the time being, but if it goes on for a long time, they will definitely be dissatisfied in their hearts, if they don't stab behind them, I am afraid they have to think about it." ”

Li Si was not ready to say anything more about this matter, looking at his son, "Are things ready?" ”

Li You said: "Your Majesty's appointment has arrived, and tomorrow I will rush to Langya County to take up the post of county guard, and my father has something to warn his son." ”

"Langya County." Li Si said softly.

He walked into the house, Li You then lit the oil lamp in the room and held it in his hand, and in Li Si's room was placed a huge territory map, which took him several years to complete, and it was also the most complete territory map of the Qin Empire at present.

Li Si's hand came out of Xianyang and pointed to the place of Langya County, which is also a big county in the empire, and next to Langya County is the location of Dongjun, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Li You obviously felt the change in his father and asked, "Father, what's wrong?" ”

"Langya County is adjacent to Dongjun, do you know the county guard of Dongjun."

Li You's eyes lit up, "Father is talking about Chu Nan." ”

Chu Nan, as the youngest county guard in the thirty-six counties of the Qin Empire, has heard of it in the entire empire, and Li You has naturally heard of this person's reputation, and his age is younger than himself, which makes Li You even more curious and admired, and more of a sense of pity.

"Father wants me to see Chu Nan."

"Nope."

Li Si said: "I want you to have less contact than this Chu Nan. ”

"Why?" Li You was puzzled.

Li Si said: "To be able to serve as the head of a county at such an age is unprecedented, he has the ability and strength, but this kid is too sharp, I am afraid of causing trouble." ”

"The child knows." Li You didn't defend anymore, he actually didn't understand why his father had such a big judgment on this Chu Nan, but people can only draw conclusions when they know about it.

Li Si smiled: "It's good to know, your mother has been talking about you every day for the past few days, and you can ask her to say goodbye before you leave, so that he can rest assured." ”
