Zhao Gao knocked Zhao Cheng's nonsense suicide note to the ground and cursed breathlessly.

The dead soldiers were silent for a while, and then said quietly: "What we receive is your kindness. We only die for you. If you don't intend to die to save the Zhao family, of course we have no objection."

Zhao was so angry that he just rolled his eyes and thought: "I have been strategizing all my life, and I have never failed. Until my family became a big business, with these followers, I was dragged down by them all day long. Hey, if Huai Guzi were mine, how could we be here today?"

Why can’t my people be as smart as locust trees and millet trees?”

Zhao Gao couldn't help but sigh and said: "Giving children should be like locust trees and millet."

When the dead man heard the word "birth", he subconsciously looked at Zhao Gao's crotch.

Zhao Gao was furious, pulled out his sword and wiped the dead man's neck.

Now that Zhao Gao was weak, he could not kill the dead man originally. But the sword was smeared with poison, and the dead man died on the spot.

The rest of the dead soldiers looked solemn.

After Zhao Gao killed someone, his mood suddenly became much better.

He looked at the others and said quietly: "It will be dawn in half an hour at most. Can you guys hold on to this room?"

The dead soldiers all hesitated: "Maybe... we can."

Zhao Gao sighed and said nothing. He always felt that relying on these idiots would make him angry to death sooner or later. That's all. Just leave it to fate. If it is breached before dawn, then God will kill me.

The Qin soldiers surrounding the outside kept firing arrows, and the house was already riddled with holes. Some Qin soldiers asked Wang Wan, "Sir, do you want to set the house on fire?"

Wang Wan shook his head: "No. Although this place is a prison, the people imprisoned are all important officials. Once a fire breaks out, the government and the public will be shaken."

Qin Bing asked again: "What if we light a fire in the courtyard and use smoke to smoke them out?"

Wang Wan nodded and said, "This plan is feasible."

So a quarter of an hour later, there was thick smoke billowing in the yard. A few soldiers hid behind shields, stretched out a hand, fanned the fire, and fanned the smoke into the house. Everyone in the house was choked.

He coughed repeatedly and was miserable.

A dead soldier said: "Sir, let's rush out."

Zhao Gao coughed so hard that he would vomit a mouthful of blood from time to time: "No, we have to wait until dawn..."

Before he finished speaking, he started coughing again.

Wang Wan waited for a while and saw that no one came out of the room. He couldn't help but sigh: "Zhao Gao's accomplices are as tough as Zhao Gao. Such rebels are unheard of. Fortunately, they were caught today.

Otherwise, it will be a big trouble."

The soldiers all nodded their heads.

…………

The rooster crows three times, and the east turns white. Ying Zheng has already started to have breakfast.

Ying Zheng enjoyed eating this steamed bun before. But after trying stir-fried vegetables once, he found it a little hard to swallow when he ate steamed buns again.

Ying Zheng said to Ji Ming, who was standing not far away: "Tell Huaiguzi that when delivering steamed buns in the future, bring stir-fried vegetables as well."

Ji Ming responded.

Now Ji Ming lives in fear every day.

He has been confused recently. Your Majesty, do you hate yourself? If not, why do you always get beaten? If you hate me, why do you always let yourself serve beside him?

Ji Ming had not been beaten yet today, so Ji Ming felt quite uneasy. He hoped that Ying Zheng would speak as soon as possible and let him receive the punishment. After being beaten, he felt at ease.

As the saying goes, death is not scary, waiting to die is scary.

When Ji Ming was thinking wildly, a young eunuch came in quietly outside the door.

Ying Zheng glanced at the young eunuch, who said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Hu Hai wishes to see you."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "No."

Ying Zheng knew why Hu Hai came, it must be for Zhao Gao.

From Ying Zheng's point of view, how could he tolerate pleas for mercy for the serious crime of treason? He had already ordered Wang Wan to interrogate him, and now that it was dawn, the result would be soon.

Ying Zheng finished his breakfast slowly, and another young eunuch came.

The young eunuch said: "Your Majesty, last night Zhao Cheng knelt at the gate of the palace and held a thorn on his back to apologize."

Ying Zheng asked: "Who is Zhao Cheng?"

The young eunuch said: "This man is Zhao Gao's younger brother."

Ying Zheng sneered: "Pleading for forgiveness on a thorn bush? Is he worthy of asking for forgiveness from me? Beat him away with a stick, and don't allow him to appear at the gate of the palace, as it will hinder the view."

The young eunuch responded and left.

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said to Ji Ming: "Get ready to drive and go see Zhao Gao."

Ji Ming agreed and went to prepare the car.

Half an hour later, Ying Zheng had just reached the palace gate when he saw Wang Wan coming on a fast horse.

Wang Wan is already old and has stopped riding horses a long time ago. Today, he galloped wildly. It was obviously something urgent.

After he ran to Ying Zheng's chariot, he turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Zhao Gao and his party broke into the prison last night."

Ying Zheng was furious: "Do you really have allies? Do you really want to rebel?"

Wang Wan said: "I ordered people to surround his comrades, but those people were highly skilled in martial arts and extremely cunning. After dawn, they broke out of the encirclement and fled toward the city gate. Fortunately, I led my elite troops to re-surround them. Now.

There are tens of thousands of arrows aimed at them, and these people are unable to fly. They are just waiting for His Majesty to take action."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Lead the way, I want to see it myself."

Wang Wan did not stop him because the rebels had no crossbows and were all wounded, so the emperor could not be in danger.

At that moment, Wang Wan led the way and led Ying Zheng to an open space.

This place was very close to the city gate. The dead soldiers were slumped on the ground, panting, and one of them was still carrying Zhao Gao on his back.

But Zhao Gao was motionless and didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

A hundred steps away from the dead man, there are densely packed crossbowmen. As long as the dead man makes the slightest movement, the crossbowmen will fire thousands of arrows.

After Ying Zheng arrived, he looked at the dead soldiers and said calmly: "Let Zhao Gao come see me."

The dead soldiers looked at each other, no one moved.

Ying Zheng was a little unhappy and said again: "Where is Zhao Gao?"

The dead soldiers said: "Master Zhao is not here."

Wang Wan walked to Ying Zheng, pointed to the person on the dead man's back and said: "That person is Zhao Gao, who was carried all the way here. I have ordered people to observe for a long time, but Zhao Gao has not moved at all. It is 80% that he is Zhao Gao."

died."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "In that case, let's arrest him."

After giving the order, the Qin soldiers were like wolves and tigers, going to capture those dead soldiers.

The dead soldiers did not resist and drew their swords to kill themselves.

They died decisively, and in the blink of an eye, a large area fell down. However, no matter where they were, there were always some who were slow to react. Qin Bing still captured two dead soldiers.

At the same time, Qin Bing looked at Zhao Gao, who had been carried by a dead soldier, and then said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, that person is not Zhao Gao."

Wang Wan was stunned immediately.

The Qin soldiers checked all the dead soldiers, but there was no trace of Zhao Gao among them.

Wang Wan was a little confused, feeling that the recent events in Xianyang City were all evil.

Ying Zheng asked one of the dead men: "Where is Zhao Gao?"

The dead man said: "Master Zhao said that he is a loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty and is unwilling to bear the charge of rebellion and hide in Tibet. He would rather die to prove his innocence."

Ying Zheng casually pulled out the sword from his waist and chopped off the man's head with one strike. Then he asked another dead man: "Where is Zhao Gao?"

The dead man had his face sprayed with blood by the dead man just now, and he was still a little dazed. He whispered: "Master Zhao, you are still in prison."

Wang Wan's heart moved and she said: "Could it be that Zhao Gao broke through at dawn and did not escape? He changed clothes with others to create an illusion. He himself is still in prison? When I brought people to arrest the thief, he secretly

Escaped? This person has a very treacherous mind."

Ying Zheng looked very unhappy, got on the carriage, and headed towards the prison.

Wang Wan was disgraced and led his men back to the prison.

According to Wang Wan's estimation, Zhao Gao might have escaped at this time. However, when they broke into the room last night, they saw Zhao Gao lying inside.

Zhao Gao was about to leave, but he fainted again before opening the door due to the smoke.

Wang Wan secretly felt lucky, and quickly ordered someone to bring a basin of water, and poured it on Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao coughed twice and finally woke up faintly.

It was only then that Wang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly realized that his clothes had been soaked with cold sweat at some point. Too many things had happened that night.

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder and said behind him: "Prime Minister, if you had listened to me earlier, why would you have done this?"

Wang Wan turned around and saw Li Shui and Li Xin standing behind him with mean smiles on their faces.
