Meng Su didn't look back, the long sword was turned back, and her body turned, only to hear a crisp sound of "clanging", and the long sword stabbed behind her was pushed aside by her.

She quickly retreated, stopped after retreating to a position that the opponent's sword could not reach, and said with a smile on her face: "I am suddenly in a better mood, you are also injured, and I don't want to bully you." Let's wait a few days to settle the matter between us, but I want to tell you, you must not be able to fight me, Xiang Ye is mine! ”

The person who attacked Meng Su from behind was Xiang Qing, there was still blood on her shoulder, and her arm holding the sword trembled slightly, but there was a thick vinegar in her eyes when she stared at Meng Su.

"I'm going to kill you!" Xiang Qing covered his bloody shoulder with one hand, and gritted his teeth with a long sword in the other hand, and said to Meng Su: "You have taken the man I fancied, I will definitely kill you, no matter who is protecting you, I will kill you!" ”

Meng Su still had a smile on his face, shrugged his shoulders at Xiang Qing and said, "I'm waiting for you to kill me, but I won't die so easily, I still have to live with Xiang Ye and grow old together!" ”

Xiang Qing glared at Meng Su angrily, and after a while, perhaps knowing that he really couldn't kill Meng Su when he was injured, he snorted heavily and inserted the long sword into the sheath, turned to leave.

After fighting with the Qin army outside Puyang, the Chu army conquered Baima again, and then turned south, conquering Changyuan, Pingqiu, and Linji, and in June of the same year, the army arrived near Chenliu.

The Chu army pulled out the city all the way to capture the village, and at the same time, Xianyang was not quiet.

After an early dynasty, after all the ministers left, Zhao Gao stopped Li Si who was about to walk out of the hall again.

"The prime minister stays!" Before Li Si's feet stepped out of the threshold of the main hall, Zhao Gao followed closely behind.

"What's the matter with Lord Zhao?" Li Si turned his head and looked at Zhao Gao, who was walking towards him with a sneer on his face, and asked suspiciously.

Zhao Gao walked up to Li Si and said with a smile on his face: "The two sacred birds that the prime minister gave to His Majesty last time are very fond of Your Majesty. I tried to persuade Your Majesty to come to the court in person, but Your Majesty only knows how to raise dogs and horses, appreciate sacred birds, and play with palace maids every day. The lower officials were soft-spoken, but they really couldn't persuade His Majesty, and hoped that the prime minister would come forward in person to persuade His Majesty to work hard to revitalize Daqin. ”

Li Si pondered for a while before he said to Zhao Gao: "You and I are both ministers, and at this time, Lord Zhao needs to mediate to succeed." Tomorrow morning, please arrange for me to meet Your Majesty, and I will explain to Your Majesty. ”

After the two said goodbye, Li Si kept frowning on the way home. The last time he went to persuade Hu Hai, not only did he not succeed, but he touched his nose.

This time, he must think of a perfect plan, and he must let Hu Hai realize the severity of the current situation and give up lewd pleasures to come to the government in person.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is a cottage away from the main house. The hut was not very large, no more than three or four feet long and wide, and in the hut, except for a low couch for one person to lie on his back and a small table, two-thirds of the hut was filled with books.

Li Si pulled out a volume from a pile of books, knelt down at the table, and read it carefully.

There weren't many words on the book, but he read it for a long time. After two hours, he finally closed the book, closed his eyelids slightly, exhaled a long breath, pressed his hand to his forehead and closed his eyes in contemplation.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, closed the book, walked out of the hut with his hands behind his back, and walked straight to the back hall.

Early the next morning, Li Si ordered his servants to prepare their carriages and horses and come to the Xianyang Palace before the early dynasty.

Zhao Gaozao stood outside the palace gate and waited. As soon as he saw Li Si coming, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and stood in front of Li Si's carriage and clenched his fists and said: "Zhao Gao has seen the prime minister, Your Majesty was greedy for fun yesterday, and slept until midnight, and he was in the harem at this time, dare to ask the prime minister whether he will meet him immediately or later?" ”

Li Si pondered for a moment, waved his hand to Zhao Gao and said, "Later, it will be early in the court, and Lord Troubled will awaken His Majesty, and I will go to meet him at this moment." ”

"Please wait here, and the next official will go and report to His Majesty." Hearing Li Si say that he was about to enter the palace to meet Hu Hai, Zhao Gao's eyes flashed with an imperceptible treachery, he bowed down and humbly said goodbye to Li Si, turned around and walked towards the palace.

Hu Hai was lying on the couch, and on his left and right sides were two women with full body **. One of his hands held one of the woman's bare breasts, and from time to time he gently pinched it twice like a balloon. With his legs on the lap of another woman, perhaps too tired from the previous night's fun, he was still snoring softly in his sleep.

Zhao Gao entered the harem, and he didn't let anyone report it, and directly broke into Hu Hai's bedroom.

After entering the dormitory, he stood outside the door of Hu Hai's bedroom, bowed down and shouted inside: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Cheng asks to see you." ”

The sleeping Hu Hai didn't hear his shout, Zhao Gao waited for a moment and there was no movement in the room, and then raised his voice and shouted: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li asks to see you!" ”

This shout was quite loud, and the sleeping Hu Hai rubbed his eyes, sat up, and shouted impatiently to the door: "Zhao Gao, it's not dawn yet, what are you calling the ghost?" Don't you know that I'm sleeping? ”

"Your Majesty!" Hearing Hu Hai's shout, the corners of Zhao Gao's mouth showed a smile that had succeeded in his tricks, and he still bowed down and said to the room: "Weichen has informed Prime Minister Li that His Majesty is sleeping peacefully, but Prime Minister forced Weichen to come and wake up His Majesty, saying that he wanted to implore His Majesty to come to the court in person. Weichen didn't dare to disobey, so he had to come to pass! ”

As soon as Hu Hai heard that it was Li Si who forced Zhao Gao to wake him up to discuss national affairs, he was immediately furious, slapped the bed and shouted at the door: "You go and tell Li Si quickly, let him not bother me, I don't want to see him!" ”

The palace maids sleeping on both sides of Hu Hai were also awakened at this time, and they curled up to the side like two frightened birds, looking at the furious Hu Hai with frightened eyes.

Zhao Gao did not withdraw because of Hu Hai's anger, what he hoped was that Hu Hai could not contain his anger, and only in this way could he achieve the goal of bringing down Li Si.

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare!" In order to further arouse Hu Hai's anger, Zhao Gao stood outside the door, bowed down and said: "Li Cheng is a high-ranking minister, and his status as a micro-minister is humble, how dare he speak to him like this!" ”

"If I tell you to say it, you can say it quickly! Do you want to disobey my will? Seeing that Zhao Gao was reluctant to go out to drive away Li Si, Hu Hai jumped off the bed, he didn't wear clothes, and ran straight towards the door, his bare lower body was a lump of tired fat swaying from side to side with his running.

"You can tell Li Si for me now, so that he won't bother me in the future! Tell him that if my father can make him prime minister, I can turn him into a commoner! Just go! Running to the door, Hu Hai stared at Zhao Gao with round eyes and yelled at Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao bowed his body, his body trembled slightly to bear Hu Hai's rage, and when Hu Hai finished roaring, he said in a whisper: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the prime minister has always regarded himself as the credit of Daqin's ability to unify the world. When the emperor was alive, he looked forward to being crowned king, and after His Majesty ascended the throne, he was dissatisfied when he saw that there was no hope of crowning the king. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who instigated labor to make trouble a few days ago, are from his hometown. Recently, news came out from Xingyang that his son Li You and Xiang Yu, the grandson of Xiang Yan, had a hot fight, which may be detrimental to Great Qin. Besides, now that the government is in the hands of the prime minister, among the ministers and the army, the prime minister's authority is heavier than that of His Majesty, how dare Weichen offend him? ”

Zhao Gao's words made Hu Hai silent, he frowned slightly, and pondered for a moment before looking at Zhao Gao and asked, "Li You and Xiang Yu have a very close relationship, but there is real evidence?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Gao bowed his body, as if he was afraid of being heard, he looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else except for a few attendants, so he lowered his voice and said: "A few days ago, news came from Xingyang, saying that Li Youfu had been to a young man surnamed Xiang, and that young man had excellent swordsmanship and was a rare young talent. Later, the young man took Meng Tian's granddaughter Meng Su from Li Youfu. The Xiang family is an old nobleman of the old Chu, and a young man surnamed Xiang has lived in Li Youfu's mansion for a few days, isn't he having an affair with the old Chu? Besides, he dared to shield the Qin criminal, if it weren't for the support of the prime minister, with his small Sanchuan county guard, he would not be so bold! ”

When Zhao Gao said this, Hu Hai's brows twisted into a "Sichuan" shape, he lowered his head, as if thinking about something, and was silent for a long time before looking up at Zhao Gao and said: "Li Sinai is an important minister in the court, although I have the heart to examine him, there is no evidence. You immediately send someone to Sanchuan to investigate Li You, and once you find out that Li You is in contact with the robbers, you will immediately report it to me. Go ahead, send Liss away, I don't want to see him today!" ”

Zhao Gao, who had received Hu Hai's will, hurriedly bowed down and retreated, and went straight to the main gate of the palace.

Li Si waited outside the palace for a long time, and when he didn't see Zhao Gao returning, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. Just as he was fidgeting and pacing back and forth outside the palace, Zhao Gao trotted towards him.

"Prime Minister, please forgive the incompetence of the officials, although they woke up Your Majesty, they had no choice but to provoke Your Majesty, and now they are furious in the palace and do not want to meet the Prime Minister. According to what the lower officials have seen, the prime minister, please go back first, Your Majesty will be in a good mood in a few days, and it will not be too late to meet again! Zhao Gao came to Li Si, bowed deeply to him, and said helplessly.

After receiving Zhao Gao's reward, Li Si was shocked, and an ominous feeling suddenly surged in his heart. He had an intuition, and this time he had Zhao Gaodang's intuition.

Although his intuition told him that he had fallen into Zhao Gao's trap, but because there was no evidence, it was not easy to have a seizure for a while, so he had to give Zhao Gao a salute back, turned around and got into the carriage and rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Hu Hai returned to the bedroom, an internal official quietly left the harem and walked all the way down the corner towards the outside of the palace.

When the internal official walked outside the palace, he didn't notice that there were two figures falling behind him all the time.

He sneakily looked behind him a few times along the way, and whenever he looked back, the two figures would quickly flash to the quiet place, avoiding his gaze.
