Under the dim light of the East Factory, Zhang Bai and Wei Xian looked at each other face to face. Both of them are smart people, and there are some things that have been tacitly agreed between the two, but they are just tacit. Zhang Rang's health is getting worse and worse, and Zhang Bai wants to take over Zhang Rang's legacy, but his potential opponent is Zhao Gao, who has always been regarded as Zhang Rang's right-hand man. Zhao Gao's strength can be said to be the second person in the palace, and many things can't be passed without Zhao Gao's nod. This prison incident was just an opportunity for Zhang Bai to come and test Wei Xian, an opportunity to see Wei Xian's attitude towards Zhao Gao.

"Zhang Gongzi, we Mingren don't say secret words. I didn't take the people away, but whether the people from the Black Ice Platform fished them out of your prison. That's what you have to do. Of course, this matter involves the interests of Gonggong Zhang, and we will fully cooperate with you to investigate this matter. On the side of the Black Ice Terrace, we should not start for the time being. Wei Xian picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup in his hand and continued: "The Guards Army has twelve legions, and the Haojie Army has six independent action teams, how much Shili does Zhao Gao master, I think you know this better than me, Gongzi Zhang." ”

Wei Xian's words made Zhang Bai's face instantly become very ugly, when Zhao Gao suddenly appeared next to Zhang Rang, Zhang Bai keenly felt that this was a trap, but unfortunately Zhang Bai was not able to make up his mind to eradicate Zhao Gao at that time, so that now let Zhao Gao become bigger. As Wei Xian said, Zhang Bai is most worried about the military power in Zhao Gao's hand, Zhao Gao's hands control the two legions of the Guards, and the Haojie Army also controls two action teams. Zhang Bai was not able to control as much Shili as Zhao Gao, and he could only mobilize one legion and two action teams at most. This prison robbery incident was seen as an opportunity for Zhang Bai. But he needed a helper. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to oppose Zhao Gao. Now in the palace, Shili can only confront Zhao Gao, and if Wei Xian agrees, this matter will be done.

"Zhang Gongzi, I will treat this incident as if it never happened, it is good for you and me. Now Father-in-law Zhang is not so confused that he doesn't know anything, his old man's heart is open, if we raise the butcher's knife at this time and aim it at our own people, I'm afraid you and I won't get any benefit. Don't forget, Zhang Gongzi. Zhang Gongzi is not the only one staring at this position. Wei Xian's tone was very heavy when he said Zuihou's words, especially the three words of Zhang Gongzi were bitten out of his mouth almost word by word.

Zhang Bai was moved by Wei Xian's words, and after thinking about it carefully, he was indeed blinded by interests, if he really did it at this time, I am afraid that it would not be Zhao Gao who would die, but her Zhang Bai. He believed that Zhao Gao had that kind of ability, and after killing himself, he could let Zhang Rang know unknowingly. Zhang Bai was shocked into a cold sweat when he thought of this, but fortunately he didn't choose to plan and do it himself, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhang Bai's eyes, and he seemed to have made a lot of determination.

"Father-in-law Wei, it's really rude to take the liberty of coming to visit today. It's late at night, so I'll take my leave. Zhang Bai figured out the joints, and naturally didn't want to stay here. Zhang Bai could be sure that the content of his meeting with Wei Xian would also appear on Zhao Gao's table when he left this gate. As for how Zhao Gao would choose, he didn't know. But one thing he knew very well was that Zhao Gao would definitely not do anything to him now, and Zhang Bai was sure that the person must have been rescued by Hei Bingtai.

If you want to bring down Zhao Gao, it is not without a chance, this female prisoner has already reported it to Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang, who is nesting on the sickbed, attaches great importance to this matter. Even if Zhao Gao fished people out of the prison, we had to see if Zhao Gao had the ability to send people out. Zhang Bai had already made up his mind in his heart, and after he went back, he would send elite men and horses to carefully watch the black ice platform and the city gate and other important roads, Zhao Gao rescued the people, and he would definitely not stay in his mansion. That woman had no role in his hands, and only when he went to the south Zhao Gao could he get the benefits he wanted most.

"Someone, send off. Wei Xian stood up with a smile on his face and saluted Zhang Bai. The eunuch who had been following Wei Xian walked out from behind Wei Xian, walked quickly to the palace gate, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please. Zhang Bai led the people to arch his hand towards Wei Xian, said goodbye and turned to leave.

"Go and kill the guard that Zhang Bai brought today, chop up the body and feed it to the dogs. Wei Xian whispered into the darkness, and the two men in black kneeling at the door disappeared into the night with a whoosh. A gleam flashed in Wei Xian's eyes, no one could challenge his majesty, especially on the territory of Dongchang.

Zhang Bai walked out under the escort of the Wu brothers, and soon walked out of the gate of the East Factory under the protection of the guards. The gate of the East Factory was slammed shut under the command of the hundred households on duty, leaving only a hundred people guarding the door wearing flying fish suits, with one hand on the war knife and the other on the waist, looking around vigilantly. Zhang Bai's team was not far away, and suddenly two black shadows descended from the sky in front of the sedan chair, Zhang Bai's guards suddenly looked startled, and just about to ask a question, the figures of the two disappeared into the night like ghosts, and a shocking scream suddenly made these guards react, and the guard of Wei Xian, who was provocative, had already separated his head and body, and then the body of the guard was robbed.

"There's no need to chase it, it's Dongchang's assassination team, and you're not their opponent. Zhang Bai's face suddenly changed when he saw the scene in front of him, and he became very ugly and gloomy. Zhang Bai knew that Wei Xian was demonstrating to him, and he was also telling Zhang Bai that there were some things that he could not change. Zhang Bai whispered that we would go, and the sedan chair set off again, as if nothing had happened.

Darkness once again enveloped the palace, and this time it was completely silent. Countless figures shuttled through the palace, and countless people continued to march towards each palace with various tasks. Zhao Gao returned to the palace after a busy day, waved away the two little eunuchs who came to serve, and a man in black stood beside Zhao Gao, half-kneeling on the ground and handing a letter to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao took the letter in his hand, a smile flashed on his face, and he casually crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground. The man in black was half-kneeling on the ground and waiting for Zhao Gao's order. Zhao Gao smiled and said to the man in black, "Go to the Guards and let General Li Wei come to see me." In addition, Huang Jie of Haojiejun was notified. I will see him in half an hour. ”

The man in black did not return to Zhao Gao's words, and his figure disappeared into the night in a flash. Li Wei, the commander of the Eighth Guards Army, who had returned from the army, had just fallen asleep when he received an order from Zhao Gao. Regardless of the concubine's pleas, Li Wei immediately put on his clothes and hurried to the palace with his guards on a war horse. Entering the palace from the Liangyi Gate of the Imperial Palace, he immediately rushed towards the headquarters of the Black Ice Terrace. In the barracks on the other side, Huang Jie of the Haojie Army received a military order, and he didn't even rush to the palace immediately with a personal guard, he knew that Zhao Gao must have something important to tell him to do after half an hour, Huang Jie didn't dare to delay.

"The last general, Li Wei, knocked to see his father-in-law. Li Wei knelt in front of Zhao Gao in military uniform, and he didn't dare to come out. The anger in the palace was very strange, Zhao Gao motioned to the little eunuch next to him to light the oil lamp, and let him light incense, Zhao Gao felt that the atmosphere around him was a little better, so he motioned Li Wei to sit down by himself.

"I don't know if my father-in-law is looking for the last general to come late at night, but what tasks do you need to do?"

Zhao Gao nodded, and Zhao Gao's nod made Li Dawei breathe a sigh of relief. Zhao Gao looked at Li Wei with a smile on his face and said, "General Li has been in the army for more than 20 years. ”

"Father-in-law, a certain general has been in the army for twenty-eight years, and at the end of the formation of the Guards, he was transferred from the Praetorian Guards to the position of division commander of the Guards. Two years ago, the corps commander was transferred. Under the arrangement of his father-in-law, a certain general took the position of commander of the Eighth Guards Army. Li Wei told his resume like a few treasures, and at the same time looked at Zhao Gao with a solemn face. He knew that it must not be easy to find things since Zhao Gao found things late at night.

"It's been two years, and I think it was yesterday that General Li had just been promoted to corps commander. Zhao Gao slowly walked to the table and personally poured a cup of tea for Li Wei, and immediately pulled out Li Wei, who was so frightened that his six souls came out of his body. For two years, although Li Wei didn't know much about Zhao Gao, at least he knew Zhao Gao's temper. Zhao Gao is a typical smiling tiger in the palace, no matter when Zhao Gao always has danger on his face, even if he wants to kill, Zhao Gao also smiles, as if the person he wants to kill is not a person at all.

"How many soldiers can you control with the soldiers of the Eighth Guards Regiment, and what is the morale of the soldiers?"

"Father-in-law, a certain general has controlled the whole army according to his father-in-law's instructions, and now the whole army only knows his father-in-law, as long as his father-in-law gives an order, we will not hesitate. The soldiers were often rewarded by their father-in-law, and they were very high, and now the entire Eighth Guards Regiment was waiting for his father-in-law's orders. Li Wei heard Zhao Gao ask the point, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that two years ago, Zhao Gao chose him, who had no background, to be the commander of this legion, because he took a fancy to his easy control, and from that day on, Li Wei also knew that the glory and wealth of his whole family and his future were under Zhao Gao's control.

In the past two years with Zhao Gao, Li Wei has also received countless benefits from Zhao Gao, but it is less than that of the commander of the Fifth Guards Legion. Li Feng is Zhao Gao's real henchman, and Li Wei has been trying to replace Li Feng's position as Zhao Gao's real henchman over the years, but he has no chance to express himself. On the contrary, it didn't take long for Zhao Gao to help him to the position of the commander of the Eighth Guard, and his official position was also promoted to the martial position of Zheng Sanpin, and to the title of a baron, and his son also got many pills from Zhao Gao's hands, and now his strength is also growing by leaps and bounds. All of this made Li Wei want to be loyal to Zhao Gaoli from the bottom of his heart, so when Zhao Gaoyi sent someone to find him, he immediately rushed over.

"Very good, now that the great war has begun, your responsibility at present is to defend the Imperial Capital. The Eight Great Imperial Merchants organized an army of tens of millions to go east out of the Tiger Prison Pass to attack the anti-thieves in the south, and now our guards have become a supporting role. A smile hung on the corner of Zhao Gao's mouth, and he took a sip of tea with a smile and said: "I heard that there is a bandit in the territory of Sizhou in the empire who is extremely arrogant, living in the mountains and forests, robbing houses and houses, and the officials and soldiers have returned from several encirclements and suppressions, I want to send you to take a look." ”

"Father-in-law, please rest assured, the last general will lead the troops to the battle tomorrow, and he will definitely eradicate these thieves for his father-in-law. Li Wei immediately fought, and said to Zhao Gao with confidence, the murderous aura combined with Li Wei's golden helmet and gold armor also showed that Li Wei's strength was extraordinary, which was also the reason why Zhao Gao took a fancy to Li Wei, low-key. Powerful and ferocious.

Zhao Gao nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'll only give you five days." Bring the heads of the bandits to me five days later. In addition, there is a dragon-patterned jade pendant in the bandits' den, and I don't care what method you use to appear on my desk in five days. Remember, I don't want anyone to know about this, you know?"

"A certain general understands, please rest assured that if the jade pendant does not appear in front of the father-in-law after five days, the head of the certain general will appear on the father-in-law's table. ”

"I don't need your head, what I need is that jade pendant. Zhao Gao still looked at Li Wei with a smile on his face, and Zhao Gao waved his hand. Li Wei hurriedly agreed. Wai Wai slowly exited the room.

Zhao Gao stood up and walked to the window to look at the black hole in the sky. Everything is going well, and now the strength hiding behind Zhang Rang will also be pulled out by Zhao Gao, and the strength in Zhang Rang's hands has been divided several times between himself and Wei Xian, and there is not much that Zhang Rang can really master. It's really like the information that Hei Bingtai just sent, even if Zhang Bai wants to kill him now, it is obvious that he doesn't dare and doesn't have the strength to do it. Zhao Gao didn't want to continue thinking about it, although he and Wei Xian were both active for the same purpose, but one mountain could not tolerate two tigers, and he and Wei Xian could not coexist peacefully after all. Of course, there is another reason for the fight between the two. That is, I don't want Zhang Rang to guess too much about the relationship between the two.

Although the Black Ice Platform has not been established for a long time, the eyeliner is now all over every corner of the empire. The daily battle reports were constantly sorted out by the intelligence officers of the Black Ice Platform and sent to Zhao Gao. The development of the war situation in the south was somewhat unexpectedly smooth, and although the battle between the Shenwu Army and the Sea Clan was bloody, the effect was also obvious. The Shenwu Army took control of Yizhou, and the present-day Shenwu Army occupies parts of Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Yizhou, Yuzhou, and Yongzhou. The Jiaozhou Corps is now also playing the banner of the Shenwu Army, and it won't be long before Liu Fan will lead his troops north to King Qin. Zhao Gao keenly felt that his time was running out, and he had to control the situation in the imperial capital as soon as possible.

Zhao Gao slowly returned to the house, did it, closed his eyes and rested for a while. It didn't take long for Huang Jie to appear respectfully in front of Zhao Gao, and when he saw Zhao Gao closing his eyes, he honestly stood there motionless and waited for Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao didn't sleep, but was thinking about the relationship between him and Wei Zhongxian, to be honest, Zhao Gao didn't like Wei Zhongxian, but there were some things that had to be done by the two of them. Zhao Gao still decided to spread out his cards and have a good talk with Wei Zhongxian, the things in the palace must be done quickly, and it will not be long before Liu Fan leads the troops to King Qin.

"You're here, this is what I told you to give you, you can do it as soon as possible. Zhao Gao took out a piece of paper and put it on the table, Huang Jie walked over and took the paper, and scanned it without the slightest change on his face. Zhao Gao looked at Huang Jie, who was standing respectfully in front of him, and said: "This mission is very dangerous and important, you select a few elite experts from the army to do this, I don't want anyone to know that I have interfered in this matter." ”

"Father-in-law, please rest assured, I know what to do. Huang Jie said yes to Zhao Gao with a solemn face, Huang Jie held the task in his hand and said, "Father-in-law, please give me a deadline." ”

"This is a special token for the Black Ice Observatory, with which you can mobilize the Black Ice Observatory's local intelligence network and Sharp Warriors to assist you. Three months, after three months, I need him to disappear from this shijie, and in the other few days, you arrange it, I want to send a few people out of the city, you arrange it. Again, I don't want anyone to know about it. Zhao Gao took out a token from the table and threw it in front of Huang Jie, and said solemnly to Huang Jie.

"Rest assured, my father-in-law, after three months, the humble position will definitely make that person disappear from the world. Huang Jie took the token and asked, "Father-in-law, do you need me to send someone to escort you all the way when you go out?"

"You don't need this matter, this time you personally go out to choose a few elite players. After you send someone out, someone will naturally pick them up. ”

"When the lowly position is understood, the lowly position is retired. Huang Jie nodded solemnly, and Zhao Gao gave a sigh and Huang Jie disappeared in front of Zhao Gao. This Huang Jie is also a good hand in the Haojie Army, originally a lone ranger, inherited from an ancient sect, and his strength is not bad, even compared with Tang Hong, the recognized number one master in the Haojie Army, his strength is not much different. The reason why Huang Jie will take refuge in Zhao Gao is completely his own will, Huang Jie is a wise person, and he has keenly felt that Zhao Gao is not simple since Zhao Gao appeared, so when Zhao Gao wanted to develop Shili in the Haojie army, Huang Jie also joined Zhao Gao's army without hesitation.

After a few tasks, Huang Jie did things beautifully for Zhao Gao, and on the other hand, Zhao Gao also used Liliang in the dark night to find out the details of this Huang Jie, and after a few temptations, this Huang Jie became Zhao Gao's henchman. No matter what it is, as long as it is explained by Zhao Gao, Huang Jie can always do it beautifully.

"It's time to rest, and it's time to move over there. Zhao Gao said to himself, and at the same time wrote two words on the paper, sharpened the knife, walked to the bed and lay down, a man in black took Zhao Gao's order and quickly disappeared into the night. (To be continued......)
