Although Zhao Gao appeared to be congratulating and respecting Su Yan like the other officials, he was extremely jealous of Su Yan in his heart and had long wanted to kill him.
However, Su Yan's name had shocked the world back then. After he was crowned as the unparalleled champion, not only was he powerful, but he also had a group of generals like Meng Tian gathered around him. He had no chance at all.
Since he couldn't kill him by force or murder him, Zhao Gao could only quietly wait for an opportunity.
Finally, for some unknown reason, Su Yan retired from the court, which made Zhao Gao very happy.
Su Yan's departure meant that he would become the Emperor's favorite person in the entire court.
But even so, as long as Su Yan was not eliminated, he would still feel uneasy.
Moreover, after Su Yan retired, no one knew where he went except Qin Shihuang. Even Li Si did not know.
In order to get Su Yan's position from Qin Shihuang, Zhao Gao paid attention to everything and secretly trained his men of sacrifice.
Finally, the heavens paid off. In a secret letter sent to Qin Shihuang, Zhao Gao saw information about Su Yan and finally found out that he was living in seclusion in Jiuyuan City…
With the appearance of the Celestial Being, Xu Fu was sent to Jiuyuan City. Zhao Gao immediately sent the men of sacrifice that he had already trained into the city, ready to destroy Su Yan in one fell swoop.
Zhao Gao was happy. No matter how brave and powerful he was, he couldn't possibly fight against a hundred people alone, right?
Moreover, they were men of sacrifice who had spent so much money to train. Whether it was their skills or the weapons they were equipped with, they were far superior to ordinary killers.
In Zhao Gao's heart, Su Yan was dead meat!
However, reality played a joke on Zhao Gao, causing him to feel despair....
There were a hundred men of sacrifice, all of them were highly skilled in martial arts, their poison was lethal, and their hidden weapons were exquisite!
However, he actually didn't kill a reclusive person!？
In fact, over a hundred men of sacrifice had died without knowing why!
What a joke!
Zhao Gao felt bitter in his heart. This was really like a mute eating a yellow lotus.
However, since things had already come to this, and he had even alerted the enemy, he had no choice but to temporarily endure and wait for a new opportunity.
…….
The news of Su Yan being attacked by the men of sacrifice was written into a secret document by Meng Yi and presented to Qin Shihuang.
Originally, Qin Shi Huang was most willing to read news about Su Yan. After all, he was his adopted son and had a cute and talented adopted granddaughter.
Qin Shi Huang opened the secret letter with a smile and was about to understand Su Yan's recent movements. His expression suddenly changed!
The content of the letter was very short, with only a few sentences.
General Su was attacked. A hundred men of sacrifice entered the city and were all killed. Although it was extremely dangerous, General Su was unharmed. His Majesty did not have to worry. It was just that the mastermind had not been found. The only news was that the mastermind was someone from the government and was in Xianyang!
When Qin Shihuang found out that his adopted son had been assassinated, he was instantly furious!
Suddenly, an invisible anger swept through the entire hall, making everyone feel Qin Shi Huang's anger.
It was not the time for the court session. Other than the soldiers who delivered the letter, there were only a few civil officials left in the hall.
Sensing Qin Shihuang's anger, they immediately knelt down and lay on the ground, not daring to move.
Qin Shihuang held the secret letter and sat quietly on the dragon throne. Although his expression was calm, the anger in his eyes could not be hidden.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Shihuang slowly opened his mouth.
"Pass, Xin Sheng!"
Not long after, Qin Shihuang summoned him.
A middle-aged man in battle armor who reeked of blood walked in and knelt on one knee respectfully.
This was the general of the dynasty, the general whose status was second only to Meng Tian, Xin Sheng!
"Pass on my order!"
"Investigate the entire Xianyang, including the important officials of the court. You must find the mastermind behind those men of sacrifice!!!”
Xin Sheng respectfully accepted the order and slowly retreated…
When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses would fall!
Facing Qin Shihuang's rage, all the officials in the court were extremely afraid.
This matter had blown up so much that someone dared to assassinate the retired Marquis Champion!？
Even though they didn't know where Su Yan was, they all understood the seriousness of the matter. This was the Emperor's adopted son, so wouldn't assassinating Su Yan be equivalent to slapping the Emperor's face?
Moreover, the entire investigation was led by General Xin Sheng. He was determined to find the mastermind behind the scenes...
After Xin Sheng left the hall, Qin Shi Huang snorted coldly and threw the secret letter on the ground.
" Who exactly has a grudge against Yan 'er and dares to send someone to assassinate him…"
"Don't let me find you. Otherwise, I'll definitely tear you into pieces and exterminate your entire family!”
…….
Although Su Yan wasn't Qin Shihuang's biological son, in Qin Shihuang's heart, his weight far surpassed many other young masters. He was no longer just a foster father and foster son.
If he wasn't the adopted son, then Su Yan would undoubtedly be made the Crown Prince and inherit the great empire.
Therefore, even though Su Yan had retired, Qin Shihuang had been constantly watching him in secret.
Now that his adopted son was almost killed, he was naturally extremely furious!
After the imperial order was announced, a storm suddenly blew up in Xianyang City. As long as one was in Xianyang City, regardless of their official position, they would be investigated one by one.
Facing such a big move, Zhao Gao was also afraid, but who was Zhao Gao?
He was a first-class old fox. In the face of Qin Shihuang's anger and investigation, he hid himself perfectly and did not give himself away.
