His hunched back was straightened in front of the First Emperor, and his serious gaze kept looking at Li Si's chin.
Zhao Gao was not joking. If Li Si really dared to break into the palace, he would really dare to strangle Li Si's neck.
Anyone who breaks into Zhangtai Palace without authorization will die.
A chilling atmosphere spread.
Li Si felt as if he was being stared at by a wild beast, and his throat felt itchy, as if he was about to be eaten by a wild beast.
Is this Zhao Gao really trying to kill me?
Li Si was shocked and angry.
I, Li Si, am already a court lieutenant, Qin State minister, and a two-thousand-stone official. How dare Zhao Gao murder me!
"Zhao Gao! Let me ask you! You prevented me from coming here! If it delays His Majesty's important event, you can afford the consequences!" Li Si scolded with a black face.
Zhao Gao did not answer Li Si's question, but still had a gloomy face and said coldly: "No one is allowed to break in without His Majesty's order. Anyone who disobeys the order will die."
Li Si clenched his fists.
If I fight with Zhao Gao, if the sound reaches His Majesty's ears, Your Majesty will definitely take action.
As long as your majesty knows that the reason why I fought with Zhao Gao and risked my life to break into the palace was because I was worried about his safety, then even if your majesty punishes me openly, you will know in your heart that I am loyal and great things will happen.
The question now is, although Zhao Gao has been punished with ten sticks, do I have the strength to fight him?
Huh~
When Li Si weighs the pros and cons.
The two figures were already chasing each other and arrived outside Xianyang Palace.
The person behind him was none other than the swordsman Gai Nie, who was dressed in white as snow.
As for the former, his appearance cannot be seen clearly under the veil, and he looks like an assassin.
"Stop!"
All the officers were waiting in formation, their long bronze gorges shimmering with cold light, forming three rows, upper, middle and lower, blocking them in front of them.
Li Si's mind was spinning.
Zhao Gao is in charge of guarding. He sees that these two people need to intervene. I can break into the palace while they are negotiating.
In this way, a direct confrontation with Zhao Gao is avoided, and there is no risk of life.
Li Si gathered strength in his legs and was ready to move like a rabbit.
When Zhao Gao went over to stop the two of them, that was when he took action.
Zhao Gao did look at the two men, but unlike Li Si's expectation, Zhao Gao had no intention of leaving.
Zhao Gao nodded imperceptibly to the masked man in front of him, then turned his head back and continued to stare at Li Si, as if he hadn't seen the two people.
Li Si:???
Why don't you go and stop me?
After looking at the masked man in front of him, Li Si suddenly understood.
Oh, yes, this person is masked in the palace and can be killed on the spot without stopping him. Unfortunately, I can't use this to break into the palace.
When Li Si was upset, Zhao Gao's tongue burst into flames.
"Let go!"
"only!"
Wow~
All the officers acted in unison, collected their troops, returned to their original positions, and made way for the masked man and Gai Nie to go to Zhangtai Palace.
In Li Si's disbelieving eyes, the two of them walked into Zhangtai Palace, which he could not enter.
Release, not execution?
Can this person go in with his face covered?
Then why can't I go in!
"Zhao Gao!" Li Si was furious and said, "Why can they go in? Why don't you stop them!"
"This is not something that Lord Ting Wei should be concerned about." Zhao Gao said coldly.
His eyes continued to wander around Li Si's throat. As long as Li Si made the slightest move, he would kill him with a fatal blow!
"You used His Majesty's decree as an excuse to stop him outside the palace again and again. I understand that your responsibilities are yours and I won't argue with you. But now, how can a masked person enter the Zhangtai Palace, but he can't?" Zhao Gao said to him.
Li Si had no answer to this question.
Some things are a tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers and cannot be made public.
As Ying Zheng's absolute confidant, Zhao Gao knows many unknown secrets.
For example, Chang'an Jun Ying Chengyu had a close relationship with the First Emperor and was the actual controller of the secret guard.
"Sir Tingwei, just wait patiently. When His Majesty wants to summon you, he will summon you."
"color!"
After hearing what Zhao Gao said, Li Si became very angry and shouted loudly.
"Si is just waiting here to see if you let the masked man into the palace without permission. Will His Majesty punish you?"
"Li Tingwei, step back and wait." Zhao Gao said without emotion, if your majesty punishes me for this, I would be happy to do so.
Li Si just wanted to break into the palace to meet the emperor, so he took a step forward.
Li Si retreated angrily and returned to his position as goalkeeper.
He stood upright, like a thousand-year-old cypress.
While he was waiting in Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng became furious, expelled the masked man, and then brought Zhao Gao to trial with him!
He waited and waited and waited.
A cup of tea passed.
A stick of incense passed by.
Half an hour passed.
Thousand-year-old pines and cypresses can no longer stand, and their trunks have become rickety.
Li Si had been standing for too long, and his body was already very tired.
In addition, he suffered repeated psychological shocks: he mistakenly believed that the Meng family wanted to take away his position as a court captain.
I heard from Zhang Cang that Ying Cheng Gai Nie Mi Xin.
Witnessed with his own eyes that the First Emperor's confidant Zhao Gao was punished with ten sticks.
Zhao Gao, who stopped him and didn't even give him a chance to force his way in, just let a shameless masked man enter Zhangtai Palace.
Li Si's heart was more exhausted than his body.
His thoughts were no longer careful, and he was a little restless.
If he doesn't do something, Li Si is really afraid that he won't be able to hold on and will go home.
The cool breeze blew, and Li Si took a deep breath to calm his inner uneasiness.
Zhao Gao, who was standing next to him, saw Li Si breathing so rapidly and thought Li Si was gasping for breath.
"What's wrong with Li Tingwei?" Zhao Gao could kill Li Sige here because Li Si broke into the palace, but he couldn't sit back and watch Li Si die here because of a sudden asthma attack.
Somehow, Li Si, who was breathing heavily, suddenly thought of the word "crazy" mentioned by his junior brother Zhang Cang.
"Crazy" and "wind" have the same pronunciation.
"I'm having a convulsion." Li Si said coldly. He really didn't have any good impressions of Zhao Gao.
Convulsions?
What's the meaning?
Never heard of this word.
Zhao Gao frowned and said, "Did Li Tingwei suffer from panting and drinking? What is another name for convulsions?"
"The Ling of Zhao Che's Mansion can memorize Qin's laws. I heard that whenever His Majesty has a legal problem, the Ling of Zhao Che's Mansion can solve it. Why can't he understand the simple word 'convulsions' today?" Li Si's facial expression was still there.
He sarcastically said without any obvious change.
He took a few more breaths of cold air and said: "Qi acts as wind, and the action of breathing into the mouth and nose is called convulsion. In this way, can Zhao Che's order explain the word "convulsion"?
Zhao Gao:...Are you suffering from any kind of madness?
Zhao Gao took a few deep breaths to calm down his depression.
"Zhao Che Fu Ling, how does it feel to have convulsions?"
Zhao Gao choked and wanted to curse.
"Li Tingwei, I know that you were unhappy with my behavior just now, so you behaved strangely. Please don't behave like this again. Gao let those two people go. Mr. Gai has His Majesty's will."
Zhao Gao decided to make up an excuse to appease Li Si, otherwise he would really be afraid that Li Si would behave strangely again.
His Majesty's will.
Li Si's mood eased a little.
This means that he has been standing here for a long time and has been hit several times.
If it were Li Si before entering the palace, he would definitely have discovered that Zhao Gao's words were untrue.
Regardless of whether there is a decree or not, according to the rules of the palace, Zhao Gao must check before meeting the saint. This is to prevent the person who is meeting the saint from carrying sharp weapons, and also to test the identity of the person who is meeting the saint.
But Zhao Gao just looked at the masked man and Gai Nie and let them go.
Unless Zhao Gao knows this person, there must be something fishy involved!
