In the imperial prison.
Zhao Gao sat cross-legged in the cell with a haggard face.
In the dark cell, there was only a small skylight that allowed moonlight to shine in.
"Your Majesty, oh Your Majesty, I have served you for many years and helped you do such a dirty thing. Are you really going to kill me now?”
Zhao Gao murmured in a low voice. His face was filled with grief, disappointment, and despair.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me.”
Zhao Gao's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
He didn't want to die. He didn't want to put his life in the hands of others.
He wanted to climb up, climb to the top, climb to a position where no one dared to casually decide his life and death.
Zhao Gao gently placed his right hand on his left arm, and his fingernails were like knives as they ruthlessly tore open the flesh on his left arm.
Now that his cultivation was restricted, he could only use the most painful method to forcefully dig out his flesh and blood.
Zhao Gao's face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
His right hand searched through the flesh of his left arm.
Soon, he took out a pea-sized ball from the flesh.
This was his last trump card.
Zhao Gao squeezed the ball hard but didn't crush it.
"Heh, without cultivation, I'm no different from a cripple now.”
Zhao Gao laughed bitterly at himself and began to look around.
Soon, he found a small stone at the corner of the wall and smashed it on the ball.
The ball shattered, and a wisp of green smoke slowly floated up.
After finishing everything, Zhao Gao instantly felt that he had no strength left. He leaned against the wall and panted.
"Yo, isn't this the Head of the Secretariat? Why are you looking for us?”
In the cell, smoke had gathered at some point, and a blurry figure had appeared.
Zhao Gao opened his eyes and looked at the figure in the smoke.
"I'm looking for your Qingyi House to do business.”
Zhao Gao said weakly.
"Business? Your Excellency is already in this state. What qualifications do you have to do business?”
The smoke figure chuckled.
Zhao Gao did not get angry at the other party's taunt. He continued,"There will be a reward for saving me."
The figure in the smoke fell silent as if he was considering the pros and cons.
"This is the Great Qin's prison. It's extremely difficult to save people. A Rank One expert coming here is no different from sending themselves to death.”
"In other words, if you want to save you, you have to be at least a first-grade top-notch martial artist or even a land immortal.”
"Can you afford this price?"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao lowered his voice and laughed.
"I've been by His Majesty's side for many years. You don't think I have nothing, do you?”
The smoke figure shook his head." Although gold and silver are good, they can't be the price for saving you."”
"After all, if we want to ask the land immortals to help, the so-called gold and silver are not worth mentioning.”
"I know what you want." Zhao Gao nodded.”
"For so many years, I've been in charge of the network and Great Qin's intelligence.”
"I will make a copy of every piece of information.”
"Is this enough?"
The dreamy figure in the smoke trembled slightly, as if it was waiting for Zhao Gao to say this.
"Deal."
"Esteemed guest, please wait for good news. Someone will come to save you in a few days.”
The smoke figure's voice was filled with joy.
Silence returned to the imperial prison, leaving only Zhao Gao, who was panting alone, and the smoke that was slowly dissipating.
In Xianyang City.
A wisp of green smoke floated in the air as he walked through the dark streets and alleys.
Soon, Qing Yan arrived in front of a manor and directly entered through the crack in the door.
They walked past the flowerbed and through the corridor to the door of a room.
The room was lit by a candle.
The green smoke once again entered through the crack in the door.
A middle-aged man sat in the room, looking hesitant as if he was waiting for something.
The green smoke slowly transformed into a human form again.
"Crown Prince Pill."
The middle-aged man was shocked and quickly turned around.
When he saw that it was the green smoke person, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"My Tower Lord said that the price you paid is not enough to buy all the information about the State of Qin.”
"How much can I buy?" The Crown Prince Pill frowned slightly.”
The man in green smoke seemed to smile and said,""You can buy a map of Xianyang Palace."
"The patrol locations, patrol times, and information about the hidden posts.”
Crown Prince Dan's eyes lit up and he said,""Sure."
He had never thought that he could buy all the information about the State of Qin. It was already very good to have this.
"Then how do I hand it over?" the green-smoke man asked. Is this information for you or the Yan Country?”
After thinking for a moment, Prince Dan said,""Give it to me."
"Alright, honored guest, please wait for good news. The information will be sent to you in a few days."”
Crown Prince Dan nodded. When he raised his head again, the green smoke man had already disappeared.
The man in green smoke left the manor and floated around Xianyang City before returning to a secret location.
"Tower Lord, I'm back."
The door slowly opened, and the green smoke man floated in.
In the room, the furnishings were simple.
An old man with a tall hat and a broad belt sat in front of the table and kept writing.
"Tower Lord, everything is going according to plan.”
The man in green smoke said softly.
"Very good. Go and rest first."
The old man waved the green smoke man away and continued writing.
Soon, a piece of silk cloth was covered with words.
The old man rolled the silk cloth into a ball, tied it to the pigeon, and flew it to the window.
The pigeon flapped its wings and flew towards Xianyang Palace.
