"Lord Li, what do you think of the Eighteenth Young Master?”
Although he was mentally prepared and knew that people like Zhao Gao and him could only rely on Huhai, he still choked when he thought of Huhai's character.
"Then we might as well count on Young Master Fusu!”
"Haha…"
Zhao Gao didn't mind and shook his head.
"Then Milord must think clearly. You are from the Legalism School, while Young Master Fusu is from the Confucian School!”
After saying that, Zhao Gao did not say anything else. He looked at Li Si, who was a little choked, and remained calm.
"Humph!"
Li Si felt a little uneasy on the surface, but his mind was in a mess. He could not think of anything to refute, so he lost interest in the conversation.
He said.
"Lord Zhao, please return!"
He didn't reject or agree to anything, but from Li Si's behavior, Zhao Gao already had a plan in mind. He wasn't angry and stood up to greet Li Si.
"Then I will take my leave…"
Zhao Gao couldn't help but urge. "I hope that Lord Prime Minister can make plans. Even if Fusu is benevolent, you have to know that the Great Qin nobles who support Fusu are all powerful.”
The voice beside his ear seemed to have some kind of magic, and Li Si's gaze could not help but flicker.
Looking at Zhao Gao's back, he suddenly felt powerless.
How could Li Si not understand these principles?!
After the unification of the six states, he had proposed many policies to Ying Zheng, which had offended countless noble forces in Qin!
Originally, there were many meritorious nobles who could have been granted kingdoms, but because of his remonstrance of the county system, they had completely offended almost all the noble classes!
Moreover, he had participated in many of Great Qin's strict laws, so he knew that Young Master Fusu definitely did not like him.
If Ying Zheng really died, Fu Su would inherit the throne.
Perhaps the first unlucky minister would be him, Li Si!
Li Si's position in Great Qin was no different from Zhao Gao's!
It was still fine when Ying Zheng was still around, but even if many people disliked him, he was still worthy with Ying Zheng around!
After Zhao Gao's words, Li Si thought about it and realized that there was only one path left!
Li Si frowned at the thought. Ying Zheng would not hand over Great Qin to Huhai unless he was delirious!
It was definitely Fu Su or Zhao Chen, the Ninth Young Master who had always performed well after returning from Yong City, who was more likely to succeed the throne than Huhai.
Unfortunately, Li Si did not know Zhao Chen well.
However, he was certain that Zhao Chen had always been in Yong City, the ancestral land of the Qin Country, and definitely did not have any foundation in Xianyang.
However, based on Li Si's observation of Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen was not easy to fool!
But Huhai…
He stared at the candle quietly in a daze. Even when the sky was just beginning to brighten, he still could not think of what to do.
As usual, Ying Zheng did not summon Zhao Chen today.
Seeing that the eastern patrol team would soon reach the sand dunes, Zhao Chen had no choice but to gather Liu Bowen and the others early in the morning, including generals like Li Cunxiao, who was only responsible for leading troops in battle!
"Something big will happen when we pass by the sand dunes in a few days!”
After his subordinates gathered in his tent, a simple map was hung behind Zhao Chen's main seat.
Everyone sat on both sides and looked at the place Zhao Chen was pointing at. The word 'sand dune' was very normal. However, when Zhao Chen placed his hand on it, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. It was as if something bad was about to happen!
Zhao Chen did not tell them about his plan with Ying Zheng.
Not to mention telling them what would happen in the dune.
Zhao Chen had only revealed a little now, mainly because he was afraid that they would not be able to react in time and cause unpredictable things to happen.
Liu Bowen stroked his beard as if he was thinking of a countermeasure. Yu Huatian knew that there were 10,000 of his men hiding not far from the eastern patrol team, so he did not panic. He was sure that Zhao Chen had a complete countermeasure.
Li Cunxiao was fully confident in his own strength. Although he did not know what was going to happen, he could still mount a horse and fight with the 1,000 Black Armor Army and even the 1,000 Brocade Guards that he had brought from Mobei.
Li Cunxiao felt that even if tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded them, he was confident that he could lead Zhao Chen and the others out of the encirclement!
On the contrary, Zhao Chen, the leader of the few of them, was a little nervous at this moment.
He regretted not bringing more people back to Xianyang, which caused him to be so cautious.
Looking at Li Cunxiao who didn't seem to care, Zhao Chen shook his head and warned him.
"General Li, you should be more careful! After I go down, I'll personally inform every team to be on high alert from now on! If anything goes wrong, you and I will die without a burial place!”Hearing this, Li Cunxiao looked suspicious and disbelief was written all over his face.
However, Zhao Chen's words were serious, so it was not good for him to refute. He could only agree gloomily.
"Here!"
Zhao Chen then looked at Yu Huatian and Mao Xiang.
"If any suspicious person comes to visit us after this, we'll immediately arrest them and put them under house arrest!”
"Here!"
"Here!"
Seeing Liu Bowen looking at him, Zhao Chen thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing much to say. He shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I have nothing else to say. Everyone, don't let your guard down. After all…"
He recalled that everyone had been mingling in the north of the desert all year round. What kind of dangerous things had they not encountered?
But now, things were different from before, and the main reason was that there was no room for any mistakes with Ying Zheng!
Otherwise, Zhao Chenwan would not have been so cautious, to the extent that he would often nag about it in front of them recently.
He was probably too sensitive…
Liu Bowen stroked his beard and smiled warmly. "Young Master, please do not disturb us. At this point, time and anything else are nothing to us!”
He had a bad taste, and he really wanted to see what Young Master's expression would be when an army of 10,000 suddenly appeared!
Hearing Liu Bowen's comfort, Zhao Chen thought about it and agreed!
The current him was not the same as fifteen years ago, or even ten years ago!
Not only did he have many generals under him, but he also had two strategists who could plan for a country!
Even a hundred-thousand-strong Xiongnu army could be annihilated with a snap of his fingers. Even if he could not defeat Zhao Gao, he could do it alone!
Starting from the north, he would rise up and rebuild the Great Qin Empire!
For the sake of caution, Liu Bowen suggested that there would be at least 20 Black Armor Army or Jinyiwei guards around when they went out of their camp.
Yu Huatian and Mao Xiang were even more closely following him!
As time passed, the eastern patrol team did not stop. They passed by the coast of Qingzhou and turned south for a distance before heading back to Xianyang.
As they got closer and closer to the sand dune, Zhao Chen felt that the entire eastern patrol team was getting stranger by the day!
The atmosphere seemed to be getting more and more tense, as if something bad was about to happen. One day, when the team arrived at the sand dune, they stopped temporarily to rest. It had been a long time since Zhao Chen had seen Ying Zheng.
He had always been using Zhang Han as a messenger between the two.
The script had been prepared long ago. Zhao Chen and Ying Zheng knew that they would have to perform the death of the Ancestral Dragon in the next two days.
Perhaps Zhao Gao knew this too!
On the second day after arriving at the sand dune, Ying Zheng summoned Zhao Chen and Huhai.
