Chapter 663

The meeting in the palace was over, and all the officials dispersed.

Li Si stood on the steps and looked at the scene outside the hall.Behind him was the minister who reported the military situation of the Huns.

Li Si sighed and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the palace.

After entering the Qin Dynasty for decades, from Lu Buwei's regency to the present, Li Si has experienced a lot, and he has seen the scene in front of him more than once.

But from being cautious at the beginning, to dealing with it later, to being an extremely human minister now, Li Si's mood when he saw the scene in front of him was different.

Over the past few decades, Qin State has grown from a kingdom to the current empire, with complicated internal forces.

Lu Buwei was expelled, and the foreign forces almost collapsed; Lord Changping defected, and the Chu forces were wiped out.

The power of the imperial court passed down a long time ago is now very different from that at the beginning, but the only thing that has not changed is that the stunning figure who led three thousand elite cavalry outside Xianyang City back then, who almost wanted to destroy Qin, still alive in this world.

"You shouldn't have said that just now."

"Are those old men of the family allowed to act so mischievously? I must let His Majesty know."

The Legalist lineage holds important positions in the court, but like the rest of the schools, they have no military power in their hands.

After the empire unified the world, Sangong Jiuqing was set up to lead the courtiers.But among the three lords, only the Taiwei, who is in charge of military power, has not yet been appointed.

There is no head of military officials above the imperial court, and the army below is still divided into many factions, doing their own thing.

Li Si sighed and shook his head.

"Does His Majesty not know?"

Although there were many factions within the Qin army, the emperor controlled the military power.How could the emperor not know about important personnel transfers in the army?
"The emperor's heart is like an abyss!"

Zhao Gao returned to his mansion, but the emotion in his heart still couldn't be healed.

Long Ji served a cup of tea, but Zhao Gao was stunned.

"Father, what's the matter with you, what happened today?"

Zhao Gao's eyes seemed to be empty.Ever since Qin ruled the world, everything Zhao Gao saw was in order.

This is an order that never existed in the Warring States Period.

The laws of the empire are strict, but everything is running smoothly under this order.

Zhao Gao almost had an illusion that the world has become peaceful under this order, and everyone is performing their own duties.

As long as this order is in control, the power center of the empire can control the world.

But what he saw today made Zhao Gao's heart no longer so peaceful.

Above the imperial court, the Legalists were in full swing, chasing the Mohists fiercely.But this dispute ended in an extremely dramatic ending.

"How could I have forgotten, that big villain who has committed a heinous crime but is still able to be a respectable lord, dare not use any means!"

"Father, what are you talking about?"

Long Ji was at the side, a little puzzled, and asked.

Zhao Gao calmed down and felt a sense of urgency.

"What's going on in Bashu?"

"Our people have reached an agreement with Chongming, and he is willing to help us obtain Zhao Shuang's criminal evidence."

"Is there no movement from Zhao Shuang's fief and the Mo family?"

"not yet!"

Zhao Gao murmured, showing some hesitation.

"Did Zhao Shuang not notice it, or did he already have a solution?"

"But Chongming is the number one expert in Shu Mountain, and his cultivation has reached the peak. It's not easy for Zhao Shuang to deal with him!"

Zhao Gao shook his head.

"Obtaining criminal evidence is only one aspect. The important thing is to get the Emperor Sword out of its sheath."

Long Ji was beside her, reminding her.

"But Your Majesty seems to trust Zhao Shuang very much?"

"Reliable?"

Zhao Gao smiled disdainfully.

"There is no word of trust in the emperor's heart. Zhao Shuang can still be so proud now, but he has not touched His Majesty's bottom line yet!"

"But this criminal evidence doesn't seem to move Zhao Shuang?"

"If the emperor wants to kill someone, it's never about evidence. Taking this opportunity, Luo Wang's forces can enter Shushan, shake Zhao Shuang's rear, and finally cut off Zhao Shuang's financial resources. This is the key."

"The foster father is talking about the business way?"

Zhao Gao looked at Long Ji with a gratified expression.

"You are very smart. That business road is completely out of the empire's finances. Over the years, the forces of the net have entered the West and found that Zhao Shuang has a close relationship with Queen Yuezhi. How much is the tax of this business road, and the income is No one knows how to deal with it. But as long as there is a problem with this business path, Zhao Shuang's power will definitely suffer a huge impact. The incident in Shushan this time is just the beginning."

"The adoptive father is far-sighted, and the daughter admires him!"

Zhao Gao picked up the teacup, took a long sip, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you think about what I told you last time?"

Long Ji's complexion changed, and the expression on his face froze.

"Father, you also know that Yan Le is much younger than me."

"You're not young anymore, are you going to go on like this for the rest of your life? Although Yan Le is frivolous, I can tell that he is sincere to you."

"let me think again."

Long Ji saluted, turned around, and left.

"Bashu, do you really not care about it?"

Li Ji sat beside Zhao Shuang, staring at him who was packing his luggage.

Zhao Shuang's mansion in Xianyang is very big, but there are not many things.Apart from the daily use of guards, there are almost not many other things stored in this Chehou's mansion.

At this time, he was packing up his belongings in the house and was about to leave for Jincheng.

Guanzhong is prosperous, but Longxi is bitterly cold.

But at this time Zhao Shuang didn't show any nostalgia. When he came back from the morning, he hurriedly prepared to leave.

"Shushan is just a trivial matter, don't worry about it."

Seeing Zhao Shuang's heartless look, Li Ji couldn't help but smile.However, the smile on her face didn't last long, her complexion changed, she became vigilant, she picked up the sword from the side, and stood in front of Zhao Shuang.

A black shadow appeared outside the house.

Zhao Shuang's mansion is very large, and there are hundreds of private soldiers in the town mansion.If this person can come here without disturbing anyone, he is very skilled.

Zhao Shuang was not as vigilant as Li Ji, and waved his hand to signal her to back off.

The man appeared from the darkness, revealed his face, and said.

"Little cool!"

"Anie!"

Li Ji turned her head and saw the two people staring at each other. There seemed to be a different smell in the air.

Li Ji didn't understand what this smell was, but she was very upset for no reason.

"I'm about to leave here. Before I leave, I came here to bid farewell to you."

Zhao Shuang was not surprised at what Gai Nie said.

"Are you going back to Ghost Valley?"

"I'm about to inherit the position of head."

"Has Zhuang admitted defeat?"

Gai Nie shook his head, his words were somewhat sad.

"Both he and I have found our own answers, and we have defeated ourselves, and we will practice our own way of vertical and horizontal. If we leave this time, we may have fewer chances to see each other in the future."

"Anie, take care!"

"Xiao Shuang, you have to be careful."

……

In the sound of farewell, Li Ji's unhappiness soared.
