Chapter 159: Shadow Life
At this time, in Xianyang, the urgent military situation was like snowflakes, transmitted into the palace, with the change of the war situation, especially the rebels were obviously rushing to Hangu Pass, Hangu Pass is the gateway of Daqin, and the pass is the territory of Daqin, I don't know how many years, the mainland of Daqin has not seen the war again, this situation is intolerable.

However, Zhao Gao hid all the setbacks, tightly sealed the news of the defeat, not only did not send troops to help, but also punished those who came to report the defeat and the setbacks, especially the governor of the state who reported the emergency military situation, and sent people to severely reprimand him.
As a result, the governors of various places were even more frightened, anyway, they were all dead, and they simply surrendered, but because of Zhao Gao's assistance, Zhang Chu's power expanded rapidly, Chen Sheng simply called himself the king, and named Wu Guang as a false king, and let Wu Guang attack the city strong, but there are three huge granaries inside Ying Yangcheng.
On the other hand, he sent a newly recruited master from the Chijing Gate, Zhou Wen, appointed Zhou Wen and others, and marched into Hangu Pass.
But this is also the end of Chen Sheng's peak, because Xingyang City is too important, so the Great Witch Girl personally guards here, the Witch is a giant with a height of nearly five meters, with a brutal personality, and likes to turn into a giant elephant the size of a hill to trample on the opponent when fighting, no one knows the age of the Beast Girl, only that she has the best relationship with Tuhai.
Tu Hai was arrogant in his life, and looked down on others the most, but in the face of the beast girl, Tu Hai had a father-like emotion, perhaps because both sides had a bloodthirsty desire, among the twelve witches, there were only two people at the beginning, that is, Barto and Tu Hai, but the rest were orphans left by the two, and the most potential among them was selected, and the two collected spells suitable for these children to practice from all over the world, and finally selected ten people, which is the so-called twelve witches.
The twelve great witches have made great contributions to the unification of Great Qin, in fact, after the death of Bato, there are only five people left in the twelve great witches, but in order to commemorate this legendary team, the title of the twelve great witches has not changed, and there are no more powerful people to add in, and now Tuhai is seriously injured and is recuperating, and the rest of the great witches have lived in Great Qin all their lives, and the awe of the legal system is engraved in the bone marrow.
But only the mad girl was alone, she didn't care about Zhao Gao's so-called ban at all, she observed the map, found the location of Xingyang City very accurately, and accurately judged that this would be Chen Sheng's next target, so she had already arrived in Xingyang City and laid a large array of ten thousand beasts outside the city, this great array of ten thousand beasts was not as simple as raising beasts to attack.
Instead, it communicates with the Heavenly Dao, seduces the souls of all beasts from the Heavenly Dao, and instills them into the surrounding soldiers, so that these soldiers all have the ferocious power of beasts.
Wu Guang's army is mighty, although there are many capable people among them, but in the face of the army of the beast girl, it is completely two levels of players, Wu Guang's vanguard suffered the fate of being annihilated, Wu Guang himself was immediately alert, and decided not to rush to attack the city, but the two prison troops sent to him by Chen Sheng were greedy and eager, and forced Wu Guang to march, and suffered a tragic defeat.
This defeat was eaten, and Zhang Chu's rabble was completely beaten back to the prototype, not only did most of the troops disperse, but also the leadership also had a violent infighting, first of all, Tian Zang, the supervising army, relied on Chen Sheng behind him, and this time the task was also to secretly monitor Wu Guang, because now there are rumors in the army that Wu Guang has great ambitions and is secretly developing his own forces, and this force has become the climate, so Chen Sheng assigned him two supervisors in order to guard against Wu Guang.
Who found Tian Zang, in addition to not learning and not knowing, also has a set of skills to pull the banner and pull the tiger's skin, and he overwhelmed the coach Wu Guang in the army, in fact, this is because Wu Guang respects Chen Sheng too much, otherwise when Chen Sheng killed the old man and lost popularity, many people lobbied Wu Guang to let him replace Chen Sheng as king, but Wu Guang didn't care.
This fiasco, the main responsibility lies on Tian Zang's body, if it weren't for his unrealistic insistence on attacking, Wu Guang's side has more people, and many of them can spell, if Wu Guang's strategy of luring the enemy into the depths, lure out the Beast's troops, and lead them into the trap, in the trap, Wu Guang and the others use countless filthy things, the immortals are afraid of these filthy things, even if it is the twelve golden immortals of the year, stained with these things, it will also cause great damage to the mana, only the outer way spells are not so afraid of these things.
If Wu Guang's strategy is adopted, even if he can't kill the madwoman, he can also severely damage the defenders, and the arduous task of attacking Xingyang City may still have the possibility of success, but because Tian Zang has no ability, and he still thinks that he is a bastard who is reincarnated by Ziya, he even moved out the secret edict given to him by Chen Sheng before leaving, saying that he would fight this battle hard, which eventually led to the cripplement of this army.
Although Tian Zang has no ability, but he is ruthless, he actually came up with a poisonous plan, he secretly laid down a henchman killer at a military meeting, and when Wu Guang and others came in, his henchmen rushed up and killed Wu Guang, Tian Zang took Wu Guang's head to find Chen Sheng, saying that Wu Guang really wanted to rebel, and was discovered by himself in time, and after a desperate duel, he killed Wu Guang with great difficulty.
This set of nonsense and loopholes was actually believed by Chen Shengcai, and at the same time, in Xianyang City, even the top-level corrupt Great Qin made his own moves.
In Xianyang City, there is a person named Zhang Han, he was not a genuine military attaché, if you insist on talking about it, he can only be regarded as a civil official who settles accounts, but it is this small accountant, but the military generals of the whole city are admired, some people say that in Zhang Han's heart, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, is the last pillar of Daqin.
Many people who usually have a good relationship with Zhao Gao also found Zhao Gao and took advantage of Zhao Gaoxiao, what is the reason why he Zhao Gao can call the wind and rain? It is because Daqin is still there, if Daqin is gone, then is he Zhao Gao still the current Zhao Gao? He will be nothing.
At first, Zhao Gao didn't believe in these very much, he believed that as long as he grasped Qin II, that fool Hu Hai would be fine.
But on this day, Hu Hai suddenly found Zhao Gao and asked Zhao Gao why he didn't tell him about the rebels.
Zhao Gao was taken aback, he didn't know how this news leaked to the inner court, but Zhao Gao is Zhao Gao, no one can compare to this wit, he immediately lied that it was not a rebel, in fact, it was just a few grass cowards, so there was no need to worry about it.
Hu Hai was originally a brainless person, plus his trust in Zhao Gao, compared to his father, it was almost the same, so he believed it, Zhao Gao immediately sent someone to investigate thoroughly, and this investigation found a little palace maid, it turned out that this little palace maid is also a person with a sense of justice, as soon as she saw that the people around her did not tell the truth to Qin II Hu Hai, she held her breath in her heart, and after finding an opportunity, she decisively told Hu Hai the news.
As a result, Hu Hai was a brainless waste, he didn't check the correctness of the news himself, but ran to question Zhao Gao, if you change someone with a little brain, you can think, how could Zhao Gao admit it?
But this incident made Zhao Gao completely alert, he first sent someone to strangle the little palace maid to death, and then threw it into the well, and then came up with an absurd plan for the first time, he sent someone to find a stag and brought it to Hu Hai, and then summoned the ministers, in front of everyone, pointed to the stag and said, Everyone, look at this horse, is it strong enough?
Everyone present, including Hu Hai, was stunned for a while, and they didn't know in their hearts that this Zhao Gao was ingenious and came up with something messy.
Zhao Gao repeated again, pointed to the stag and shouted, "Are you people blind? Don't you see how majestic this horse is?"
Soon, those clever and shameless people reacted, and they echoed loudly, this is indeed a rare BMW horse in a hundred years, it is really a majestic horse, and some people say that this is actually the sweat and blood BMW of Dawan in the Western Regions, and they swear by it.
Those who still have some integrity, for the sake of the safety of their families, also choose to remain silent, only when Zhao Gao asked about himself, he said, in fact, this is really a good horse....
But what is even more surprising is Hu Hai's reaction, Hu Hai did not have the slightest disgust in his heart, but had a sense of novelty and admiration, he felt that this is the rule, ruling an empire, there should be such dominance, there should be the authority to refer to the deer as a horse, his admiration for Zhao Gao, has risen to a new height.
Zhao Gao was also very satisfied with his authority, even if he was the former First Emperor, he could do this.
"Hahaha.... Hahaha... In the world, who dares to treat me Zhao Gao as a shadow and a crippled person?!" Zhao Gao roared to himself in his heart.
Eunuchs are all going to be castrated, so they are not normal men from now on, but most of these people only enter the palace after adulthood, and they still have their own memories of the previous relationship between men and women, even if they are eunuchs and eunuchs, they also have their own needs, but everything they have belongs to themselves, but to the court.
But in the courts of all dynasties, the emperor lived in the deep palace, and any secrets of his private life could not escape the ears and eyes of those eunuchs, the reason for this is that they are not people, at least not complete men, of course, there is a reason for this, as long as it is a man, there will be desire, with the desire to pass on everything to future generations, which makes people who have a large number of palace secrets become a huge threat, so castration, in order not to cut off the love between men and women, but also to cut off their deeper desires。
The Qin Imperial Palace was the largest palace in history, and naturally there would be thousands of palace maids, as well as tens of thousands of eunuchs serving the entire imperial palace. Among them, Zhao Gao is the oldest, he is particularly good at rhetoric, and has a clever mind beyond others, for which he won the favor of the first emperor.
-- Zhao Gao, relying on the natural advantage of assisting Qin Shi Huang from the moment he first ascended the throne, simply turned himself into the shadow of Qin Shi Huang.
This is the reputation he gained in the court. Zhao Gao walked with a very light step, in order to make himself more in line with the requirements of Qin Shi Huang, he even went to practice the Dao Fa, in order to be lighter, and there was no sense of existence, even when the First Emperor was around to take care of his daily life, he would not let the First Emperor feel that someone was beside him.
Even walking on the ground covered with green bricks, Zhao Gao never made a sound under his feet, not even a trace of movement, he was the deepest and darkest ghost living in the palace.
Every night, the emperor would go to the harem to visit a woman. Every night, Zhao Gao had to lead the emperor to the women's rooms. The emperor's fortunate woman had to be changed every day, which was called rain and dew evenly in order to give birth to many sons, but Qin Shi Huang's early experience deeply damaged his body.
Zhao Gao's job is to arrange everything related to this, let the woman strip naked and check it in advance, see if the woman is suitable to be lucky, whether there is any disease, and then find someone to wrap the woman in a roll of carpet and carry it into the bedroom of Qin Shi Huang.
When the emperor was lucky, he also had to monitor the movements inside to ensure that these concubines would not do anything to hurt the emperor, and after the incident, if Qin Shi Huang felt bored, he had to find someone to come, wrap the naked woman in a carpet, and carry it back to his bedroom
。 Therefore, when the emperor was in the women's room, Zhao Gao stayed outside, listening, he was also curious, why he had lost that thing since he was a child, but Qin Shi Huang's voice was still like a cat's claw, tearing at his heart, making him feel a heart-rending sadness.
But he didn't dare to say anything, didn't dare to ask, didn't even dare to think, he could only be a shadow, a person who didn't exist.
The First Emperor didn't care about him at all, in the First Emperor's heart, Zhao Gao was just a tool that could walk and talk, saying that he was a shadow, really exalted him.
Although in the mind of the First Emperor, Zhao Gao was just a tool, Zhao Gao always considered himself a normal person.
I'm human!!
No matter how Qin Shi Huang despised him, this concept kept roaring in Zhao Gao's heart.
So Zhao Gao kept hypnotizing himself, on the one hand, trying to be a non-existent person, a tool that could not have his own opinions, but on the other hand, he kept repeating, I am a person!
This kind of pain is unimaginable to ordinary people, if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid it would have been crazy a long time ago, but this is Zhao Gao, a person who grew up in the court since he was a child, and he has also endured greater pain,
I remember that when he was seven or eight years old, once, his rotten gambler father took himself to a very clean and beautiful place, for the first time in his life, he bought a chicken leg for Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao's child, naturally happy to eat, as a result, his life, just because of this chicken leg changed, he fainted after eating the chicken leg, and when he woke up, he was no longer a man, but a eunuch.
Later, whenever Zhao Gao thought of it, he had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.
