Seeing that Ying Zheng was really doing as he said, he felt slightly disappointed.
However, since Ying Zheng had chosen to do so, Zhao Chen was naturally happy.
He believed that Ying Zheng would be able to fool everyone!
With just one last glance, under Zhao Gao's service, Ying Zheng took the medicine with great difficulty. At the end, Zhao Gao handed Ying Zheng a red pill that was emitting a sweet and fragrant smell.
At this moment, Ying Zheng was a little hesitant. Looking at the pill, Ying Zheng recalled Zhao Chen's words just now.
He looked down at Zhao Chen, who was standing tall and proud, until Zhao Chen nodded his head subtly. Then, Ying Zheng picked up the pill and put it into his mouth in disgust, swallowing it in disgust.
Ying Zheng seemed to have regained some strength, but he still waved his hands weakly and said to Huhai, who was standing beside him with a concerned expression, and Zhao Chen, who was not showing any reaction.
"I'm tired…You two can leave first. You don't have to come today.”
Before Hu Hao and Zhao Chen could react, Zhao Gao bowed and called out softly.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister will be returning from Jiangxia County City to purchase supplies today. He will set off on his eastern tour again today.”
Closing his eyes and panting weakly, Ying Zheng nodded. "Got it."
Under Li Si's lead, countless Jiangxia officials came to the camp to send them off.
Qin Shi Huang's eastern patrol team, which had stayed in Jiangxia County for a few days, began to set off again.
In the days that followed, Ying Zheng's health was getting worse and worse, to the point that he could not even handle his official duties properly. Therefore, he rarely summoned Zhao Chen and Huhai.
They were either in the carriage or resting in the temporary palace.
On the surface, only Zhao Gao and Li Si were able to come into contact with Ying Zheng from time to time.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen was also happy to be idle. Every day, he would discuss countermeasures with Liu Bowen in his team.
However, what Zhao Chen did not know was that Liu Bowen and Yu Huatian had already recruited ten thousand soldiers from Mobei before the eastern patrol. They were scattered and hidden not far away from the eastern patrol team.
Yu Huatian thought that Liu Bowen had told Zhao Chen, so he did not tell Zhao Chen.
Therefore, Zhao Chen spent a lot of time planning how to deal with the situation when they reached the sand dune.
Not only did he have to prepare everything for Ying Zheng to fake his death, but he also had to ensure Ying Zheng's safety. Moreover, Zhao Chen wanted to capture Zhao Gao alive.
He had to prepare for all of this now, and he also had to think about the possible accidents that might happen.
After thinking about it, Zhao Chen felt that he had brought too few people back to Great Qin!
If he really wanted to complete his plan, these two thousand troops were not enough!
When the eastern patrol team arrived at the seaside of Qingzhou, it was also the place where Ying Zheng had sent off Xu Fu and his one-thousand-man boy fleet.
During this period of time when Zhang Han was acting as a messenger, Ying Zheng learned from Zhao Chen that Xu Fu was not going to search for immortals and herbs. Instead, he was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he brought his men and production technology to a place called Fusang to lord it over.
After putting on makeup, Ying Zheng's body was now withered, and his face was pale. Under the protection of a group of armored soldiers, he stood quietly by the seaside and looked out.
That direction was where Xu Fu's fleet had left.
Zhao Chen and Huhai stood quietly by his side.
Further away were Zhao Gao and Li Si.
After watching for a long time, no one knew what Ying Zheng was thinking about, until one of the palace servants left.
At night, most of the people in the camp fell asleep.
Zhao Gao silently arrived outside Li Si's tent.
A servant had been waiting outside the tent for a long time. When he saw Zhao Gao coming out of the darkness, the servant hurriedly bowed and said softly. "Milord, the Prime Minister knows that Milord is coming and has been waiting for a long time. The Prime Minister said that Milord doesn't need to inform anyone that you're here and can just go in.”
"Yes."
With a team of armored soldiers following behind him, Zhao Gao responded with a nasal voice. He stared at the servant expressionlessly, but his heart was bursting with joy. He believed that since Li Si had made such arrangements, his purpose for coming here tonight would definitely succeed.
At the same time, he was also very emotional. Li Si was not stupid!
However, he and Li Si did not have any allies in Great Qin.
If he wasn't smart, he probably wouldn't have been able to reach his current position!
The attendant saw that Zhao Gao did not enter immediately and was only staring at him. His heart sank. It seemed that Zhao Gao must have something important to discuss with Li Si in the middle of the night, so he said respectfully.
"I'll go heat up a pot of wine for the two sirs…"
After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into the darkness without looking back.
Zhao Gao subconsciously glanced around. Other than Zhao Chen, the entire camp was under his control.
However, Zhao Gao knew that there was no harm in being careful. He couldn't be careless about what he was going to do!
He then instructed the armored soldiers behind him in a deep voice.
"Ten steps away, guard the surroundings. No one is allowed to approach!”"Here!"
Zhao Gao tidied up his clothes and lifted the curtain. Li Si, who was reading a letter seriously, entered Zhao Gao's sight.
Arriving at the center of the tent, Zhao Gao calmly cupped his hands and bowed.
"Prime minister, Zhao Gao has disturbed you so late at night, do you have time?”
Li Si put down the letter in his hand and glanced at Zhao Gao. He did not comment on it and then nodded to signal for Zhao Gao to take a seat.
"I wonder if Lord Zhao…has any advice?”
Zhao Gao, who had just sat down, heard Li Si say this. In order to show his sincerity, Zhao Gao acted flawlessly from the beginning.
He hurriedly stood up and said in fear.
"I wouldn't dare!"
After sitting down again, Zhao Gao pondered for a moment and carefully probed.
"Sir Li, what do you think of His Majesty?”
Surprise appeared on Li Si's face as he said calmly.
"A man of great talent and a chest full of wealth…His Majesty is naturally a rare talent since ancient times!”
Zhao Gao knew that he couldn't beat around the bush with someone like Li Si, so he hardened his heart and said directly,"
"In Zhao Gao's opinion, Your Majesty's body…Forget it! Has the Prime Minister ever thought of the time when he can't bear to speak? At that time, how will the Prime Minister deal with himself?”
Zhao Gao couldn't be too direct in front of Li Si.
Li Si's pupils constricted as he stroked his beard, his eyes flickering.
Although Zhao Gao had sent someone to inform him during the day that Zhao Gao would personally visit him late at night, Li Si vaguely knew Zhao Gao's intention.
Naturally, he was mentally prepared, but when all of this was laid out in front of the stage, Li Si did not know what to do.
But just as Zhao Gao had said, Ying Zheng was really dying!
Thinking of this, even someone as selfish as Li Si could not help but feel sad.
One should know that Ying Zheng and he were both indebted to each other!
However, Li Si quickly regained his composure and looked at Zhao Gao.
"May I know what advice Lord Zhao has?"
It was still the same sentence!
However, Zhao Gao didn't retort. The corners of his mouth curled up into a gloomy smile.
