Chapter 125 The people around you can't be trusted
At noon, the temporary camp of the eastern tour was carried out.
The First Emperor sat in the newly built tent, looking at the latest letter in his hand, his face did not change at all, no one knew what was recorded on the letter?
Soon after, a sharp and feminine voice sounded outside the tent: "Your Majesty, lunch has been prepared, do you want to bring it to you now?" ”
"Huh?"
Ying Zheng frowned when he heard this, put down the letter in his hand, he knew who was talking outside, and said in a low voice: "Got it, let people bring the food in!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Soon, the little eunuch who served the First Emperor brought in the prepared meal.
The meal is very simple, a bowl of millet, a plate of steamed meat, a plate of cooked vegetables, and a bowl of soup.
After putting down the meal, the little eunuch specially advised: "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten well recently, you must eat the meal this time..."
"Hmm!"
Ying Zheng nodded expressionlessly, picked up the millet in front of the little eunuch and ate it slowly, the steamed meat just ate a few bites, basically the boiled vegetables and the bowl of soup.
Eating, eating...
Suddenly, Ying Zheng put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the little eunuch who was staring at him eating in front of him, and asked, "Xiao Xizi, how long have you been in charge of my diet?" ”
Xiao Xizi was taken aback by the first emperor's sudden question, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the servants have served Your Majesty for four years. ”
"Four years and three months, to be exact!"
Ying Zheng sighed faintly, a trace of memory appeared on his face, stared at the little eunuch who looked a little flustered, and slowly spoke: "Four years ago, Xishun was too old to serve me, so he recommended you over, and since then you have been conscientiously responsible for my daily life...."
Speaking of this, a rare smile appeared on the first emperor's majestic face: "I am very pleased that you have taken such intimate care of me!" ”
When Xiao Xizi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are a person who does great things, Xiao Xizi doesn't understand anything about national affairs, and the chief manager of Xishun told Xiao Xizi that as long as you take care of your body, Your Majesty, it will be the greatest credit."
Over the years, the minions have never dared to forget..."
"Yes, you have done a really good job over the years, and you can say that you have done very well in all aspects..."
Ying Zheng put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, picked up the few remaining soup bowls on the table, took a small sip, and muttered to himself with deep eyes.
Then, he put down the soup bowl in his hand, looked at Xiao Xizi in front of him, and asked, "I have served so well in my life over the years, have you ever thought about what reward?" ”
When Xiao Xizi heard this, he hurriedly shook his head, and said with a somewhat flustered expression: "Your Majesty, did the slave make a mistake, you want to drive the slave away?" ”
"Haha...."
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Xiao Xizi, you are not at fault, and I don't want to drive you away, I just want to ask if you have anything you want, if I can be satisfied, I will definitely reward it to you!" ”
"The minions don't have anything to want, as long as Your Majesty doesn't drive the minions away, it's the greatest gift!"
Xiao Xizi said in a panic.
"Alright, I know your request! When I'm done eating, you can send this food out, and when you get out, call General Wang Li in..."
Ying Zheng said slowly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Xizi said goodbye, came to Yingzheng and put all the dishes, chopsticks and dishes on the table on the tray, and then left the camp.
After a while, Wang Li, who was dressed in armor, walked in, looked at Ying Zheng sitting on the main seat, and said softly: "Your Majesty! ”
Ying Zheng raised his right hand and waved, signaling Wang Li to wait a while, and then his right hand clenched into a fist and hammered him hard in the abdomen.
"Poof!"
Immediately afterwards, Ying Zheng spit out all the food that had just gone in, and an unnatural flush appeared on his expression.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Wang was startled and hurriedly spoke.
It really feels strange for Ying Zheng's behavior.
After Ying Zheng spit out the food he had just eaten, his expression became a little gloomy, he pointed to the remnants on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Li, go and find out who is the person who cooked for me today..."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Wang Li's face changed, and his eyes were full of horror.
Ying Zheng spit out the food he had just eaten, and he must have found that there was something wrong with the food, but why did he eat it and spit it out?
Isn't that a bit of a contradiction?
"Are you surprised why there is a problem with the food, and I still have to eat him?"
Ying Zheng let out a sneer, and said in a cold voice: "Because my every move is monitored by someone, in order to reassure those people, I have to do this!" ”
"You should know that there are a lot of people in this world who want me to have an accident, and now that I have come out to tour the east, many people are tempted, and they want to get rid of me through various means!"
"Hmph, but they're underestimating me..."
As he spoke, Ying Zheng's face became gloomy and terrifying, and his body exuded a strong killing intent.
"Thoroughly investigate the person who cooks, investigate who has been in contact with him recently, and remember not to let anyone know, not even the little Kiko next to me!"
Ying Zheng said coldly.
"Huh?"
Wang Li's heart trembled, the first emperor said that if he didn't let Xiao Xizi know, then his identity must not be credible, otherwise the first emperor would not be like this.
After understanding what the First Emperor meant, Wang Li said respectfully: "Obey!" ”
"Go ahead!"
After Ying Zheng waved away Wang Li, he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of black blood: "Poof! ”
"I'm still hit, this poison is really strong..."
Since four years ago, his health has been getting worse and worse, and he has suspected it before, but unfortunately there is no evidence.
Now, after noticing the abnormality of the people around him, he understands!
It's all about Mo Li's murder ten years ago!
Those people, first killed their most outstanding son, and then broke their own bodies, waiting for their own death, they were supporting Hu Hai to ascend to the throne, so as to secretly control the entire Great Qin Empire.
I have to say that there are definitely a lot of people involved in the people who can come up with such a plan.
Even among the officials of Great Qin, there were many who participated in it.
Otherwise, things are not done so secretly, without being disregarded.
But fortunately, Hu Hai, the most unfortunate son, would send someone to tell him to be careful, and at the same time say not to return to Xianyang.
It can be seen from the few words on the letter that Xianyang at this time has become the control of that person.
And Hu Hai was also placed under house arrest.
"Ten years ago, I murdered my second son......"
"Now he's trying to murder me again..."
"You really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall..."
"When I finish dealing with the affairs of the East China Sea, I will definitely let you reptiles hiding in the shadows die without a place to bury..."
Ying Zheng wiped away the residual blood from his mouth, his face became crazy, and his figure became extremely gloomy.
