It was already the third morning, but it seemed that Fusu had not made any move, and Meng Yi had not made any move either. In this way, during the three days of caution, Zhao Gao began to feel that he could not figure out Fusu's routine, but Zhao Cheng

The negligence is very realistic. If the assassin cannot be found in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

But as the New Year is approaching, the city of Xianyang is very busy, and Zhao Gao is no exception. He has been in the palace frequently these days, and he is unable to take care of all the affairs in the palace, so he has to leave it to Zhao Cheng to handle everything.

Near the CRRC Yamen, there is a very small teahouse. The teahouse is a two-story building. Generally, dignitaries rarely notice this teahouse. But today, there are two people sitting in the teahouse. They are wearing brown robes.

, wearing a bamboo hat, a sharp sword on his back, and holding a tea cup in his hand, as if he was sipping tea, but his sharp eyes were always fixed on the CRRC Yamen not far away.

This is already the second day of lurking. Xiang Zhuang firmly believes that Zhao Gao will definitely reveal his traces in the past few days, especially his younger brother Zhao Cheng. Every day, a large number of spies will be sent out to find out something. From Xiang Zhuang's keen sense of smell,

, he felt that this would be the information he desperately needed.

Just when Xiang Zhuang lowered his head and was thinking deeply about something, Qingbu on the side gave him a gentle push. Xiangzhuang suddenly woke up from his meditation. He followed Qingbu's gaze and saw a carriage in front of the Zhongche Mansion.

At that time, it had already stopped there. Soon, a fat figure walked out, boarded the carriage anxiously, chatted with the driver, and the carriage drove away quickly.

Ting Bu whispered in Xiang Zhuang's ear: "That's Zhao Cheng. He's so flustered. There must be something urgent. We might as well follow him."

Xiang Zhuang also smiled and nodded. The main purpose of lurking in the past few days was to keep an eye on Zhao Cheng. As long as he could extract information from Zhao Cheng, he would not be afraid of defeating Zhao Gao. At this time, the two of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Xiang Zhuang took out a few coins and a half from his pocket, threw them on the table, walked out of the teahouse with Ting Bu, got on his horse, and drove off in hot pursuit of the carriage.

...

The carriage passed through the long Chongle Street and headed straight for the outside of Xianyang City. Soon, they disappeared into the wilderness and turned into a winding mountain path.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage arrived in front of a ruined temple. At the entrance of the temple, several men in black were patrolling. When they saw the carriage approaching, a man in black rushed over and opened the curtain. Zhao Cheng

He jumped off the carriage, dusted himself off, and looked at the man in black. The man in black immediately raised his hands and said, "The man is already in the yard."

Zhao Cheng's eyes narrowed, and he was extremely happy. He finally caught the assassin. As long as he was eliminated, his brother's crisis would be relieved. Zhao Cheng reached out and patted the man in black on the shoulder, and said: "In

Keep a good watch outside, and I will reward you generously when you get back."

The man in black cupped his hands and thanked him, and Zhao Cheng walked towards the ruined temple. The two men in black who were guarding the door pushed open the temple door, and Zhao Cheng quickly entered. Soon, the temple door slammed shut with a "bang", and all around,

It immediately became silent.

In the ruined temple, a middle-aged man dressed in gray linen clothes was tied to the ground with his back. His eyes were blindfolded and his mouth was stuffed with rags. He could only hesitate a few times, but could not speak until he heard

Hearing the heavy footsteps, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he stepped back desperately.

"Haha, brother, you took my deposit and actually escaped back to your hometown. How do you calculate this debt?" Zhao Cheng smiled sinisterly and gently touched the hair of the man in black with his hand. At this time, he exerted a strong force and the man in black

The man let out a heart-rending howl, and beside him, an old woman dressed in plain clothes shivered with fear.

Zhao Cheng was attracted by the trembling old woman beside him. He asked displeasedly: "Who is this?"

A man in black came over and said softly: "It was the clues she provided that led us to find Abang."

Abang was the assassin. At this time, the man in black pursed his lips, pointed at the old woman and said, "She wants to receive the reward she deserves."

Zhao Cheng couldn't help but sneer, wink at the man in black, and said in a sinister tone: "Since she has done something good for me, give her some money and send her away."

The old woman was overjoyed. The anxiety she felt just now was gone. She wanted to get up and say thank you, but the space between her legs was already wet with urine. Just now, she was so scared that she peed her pants.

After several struggles, the old woman finally got up. She came to the man in black, raised her hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward. I can help you if you need anything in the future."

The man in black smiled evilly, took out a bag of money from his pocket with his left hand, handed it to the old woman, and said coldly: "If this matter gets spread, do you know the consequences?"

The old woman nodded and said, "I know, I won't talk nonsense."

When the old woman took the money bag, the man in black smiled again: "But a dead person will never have the chance to tell!"

The man in black put his right hand into the old woman's abdomen. In his right hand, a dagger was stained red with blood. The old woman looked at the man in black in shock. Only then did she know that she would never have a chance.

Leaving the ruined temple with this money, perhaps, her only thought at this time was regret, regret that she was obsessed with money, regret that she betrayed Abang, but her regret could only disappear with her life...

Zhao Cheng untied Abang's blindfold and pulled out the rag from his mouth with his right hand. Abang could finally breathe heavily. He was breathing desperately until his breathing rate gradually stabilized, and then he looked coldly at Zhao Cheng.

, said hatefully: "Why did I believe you when I was blind?"

Zhao Cheng laughed with a ferocious face, looked at Abang, and said with hatred: "If it weren't for you, I would be listening to music and drinking wine in the house right now. You unlucky kid, go to hell!"

After saying that, Zhao Cheng turned around and left. A man in black drew out his short blade and walked towards Abang, with a fierce look in his eyes. With just a wave of his hand, Abang could be dead.

The breath of death gradually approached, and Abang couldn't help but step back, but his hands and feet were tied behind his back, so he could only move little by little, but the man in black was getting closer and closer. Abang knew that his time had come.

So, I had to close my eyes tightly, grit my steel teeth, and wait for death to come.

But at this moment, a scream broke the silence around him. Abang couldn't help but open his eyes, and saw that the man in black who wanted to kill him had his brain pierced by an arrow. His death was extremely ugly, and beside him

, the remaining five men in black immediately guarded Zhao Cheng, looking around, wondering where the arrows were coming from.

Several screams were heard outside the door, the temple door was pushed open, and two men in brown clothes walked into the ruined temple. One of them was holding a sun bow in his hand and a red shadow on his waist. Beside him,

A burly middle-aged man held a long sword in his hand and was glaring at everyone in the courtyard. The two sides were in a stalemate.

Zhao Cheng felt something bad in his heart. He seemed to have seen this young man before. After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Cheng finally remembered that the person in front of him was someone close to Fusu. His appearance indicated that Fusu had set his sights on him.

, Zhao Cheng stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, and immediately ordered: "Kill Abang!"

The two assassins rushed towards Abang. Abang wanted to struggle, but his hands and feet were tied. He could not resist. Seeing that the copper sword was about to cut his throat, at the critical moment, Xiang Zhuang drew his bow and nocked an arrow. In the blink of an eye,

, two men in black were shot dead.

Xiang Zhuang looked at Zhao Cheng and said with a disdainful smile: "If you don't get out, the next arrow will be yours!"

Zhao Cheng was already trembling, but the honor of the Zhao family prevented him from leaving easily. If Abang could not be killed, neither he nor his brother Zhao Gao would end well, but Xiangzhuang's force was too high, Zhao Cheng knew

, he couldn't fight him. After a brief psychological struggle, Zhao Cheng could only sigh helplessly and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Qingbu made way for Zhao Cheng and others to leave quickly. Looking at their backs, Qingbu took a sip and asked, "Why don't you kill them?"

Xiang Zhuang shook his head helplessly: "These political struggles have nothing to do with us. Killing him may not be a good thing."

Ting Bu nodded slightly, glanced at Abang on the ground, walked over, picked him up, and together with Xiang Zhuang, quickly disappeared into the ruined temple...

...

After the construction of Epang Palace, the Qin State began to summon the first batch of corvees and prisoners from various places. Money and food were urgently needed supplies. The court was extremely busy. The First Emperor was also furious about this matter, accusing the government of ineffectiveness, abolishing and beheading

A large number of officials came.

Zhao Gao has also been extremely busy these days. Although he is only a small official in charge of the royal carriages and horses, the First Emperor prefers Zhao Gao and trusts him, which gives him the opportunity to participate in important military affairs and the central government.

Important news, Zhao Gao participated in early court and major state affairs discussions, and even participated in the First Emperor's leadership in certain major decisions.

Today, Zhao Gao came back very late. When he entered the government office, he felt a deserted feeling that he had never experienced before. But when he stepped into the back hall and sat on the soft mat, a government soldier brought tea and placed it on Zhao Gao's back.

In front of Gao Gao, he bowed and left quickly. Holding a hot cup of tea, Zhao Gao felt that only when he returned home could he feel the warmth of autumn.

Taking a sip of tea, heat waves spread throughout his body. This feeling makes people want to sleep. At this time, Zhao Gao's thoughts also wandered around the world as the tea spread throughout his body. According to the spies' report today, Ziying and his party have already

After entering Sanchuan County, it will take a few days to reach Dongjun. Once in Dongjun, Ziying's mission will be half completed.

But he would never have thought that he would give him a big gift in the meteorite incident, a big gift that he would never be able to get over. Here he is, Zhao Gao smiled proudly, and stood next to Feng Jie, the imperial censor.

This person has been bribed by him. If this person carves the most taboo line of the First Emperor on the meteorite, and then creates some momentum by himself, he is not afraid that Ziying will not capsize. As long as Ziying is overthrown, who can Fusu count on?

Thinking like this, Zhao Gao couldn't help but laugh loudly again, but at this moment, Zhao Chengcang rushed in in panic, came to Zhao Gao, knelt down and said: "Brother, it's bad, something big has happened!"
