Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

At this moment, Xiaoyue was completely certain in her heart that she was just a pawn used by Yi Xiaochuan from the beginning to the end, and Yi Xiaochuan never took her seriously at all. Everything was just an excuse to make it easier to use her.

(Ding, change the plot, get the ship blueprint)

At this time, Gao Yao in the mansion suddenly received a system notification sound, which made Gao Yao instantly excited. This was definitely a pillow delivered when he was sleepy. It was really a treasure. What he lacked now was the advanced ship modification drawings, which would be of great help to him.

At the same time, Gao Yao also roughly guessed who the reward came from. Sure enough, just a quarter of an hour later, Xiaoyue, accompanied by Lu Su, entered the main hall with tears in her eyes.

"Are you sure now?"

"Yes, sir, Xiaoyue is causing you trouble."

"It's okay, you're so beautiful, I feel pity for you. Some people don't know the value of you, but there will naturally be people who treasure you."

"Sir, Xiaoyue..."

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Xiao Yue was still tearful, but there was also a hint of shame in her eyes when she looked at Gao Yao.

"I can give you a choice. I can also tell you the truth. You look a lot like an old friend of mine, but it's just a resemblance. You are not an old friend of mine, so I can give you two choices. You can either choose to stay in my mansion and serve me in the future."

"this......"

"Alternatively, I can find you a wealthy family, which can be considered a marriage alliance. The other party will also treat you well. You can choose one of these two methods."

Gao Yao didn't waste any words. The reward was already in his hands. Gao Yao naturally couldn't refuse it. He could either keep Xiaoyue by his side to get the reward, or let Xiaoyue become his chess piece and then go to Li You's side to become a chess piece for the two sides to communicate.

It is true that Meng Tian is very important to Qin Shi Huang, but Li Si's position is also basically unshakable. The court is almost full of Li Si's confidants. Gao Yao also needs someone to stand up for him in the court, and Li Si is undoubtedly the best candidate. As for Wang Jian, it is not that Gao Yao has never thought about it, but Gao Yao knows very well that he does not have such a big face. He cannot get in touch with either Wang Jian or Wang Ben. Li Si is the best choice.

But Gao Yao knew very well that although she was now a name in front of Li Si, their relationship was still far from perfect. If Xiaoyue married Li You, it would be a disguised way to take the relationship between the two parties a step further, but this step was not necessary. Gao Yao did not care much about whether Xiaoyue was happy or not, but this was the Qin Dynasty. Women were important, but not to that extent. What could finally move Li Si was tangible benefits, which was fine with or without, so Gao Yao gave Xiaoyue the opportunity to choose.

"May I ask, sir, what is the wealthy family you are talking about..."

"Li You, son of Prime Minister Li Si"

"what?"

After hearing the name Gao Yao said, Xiaoyue was also shocked. She never thought that Gao Yao was talking about such a wealthy family. This was no longer just a wealthy family, but the home of the prime minister of the current dynasty.

"What, you're not satisfied?"

"dare not"

"So do you want to marry into the Prime Minister's family?"

"My lord, Xiaoyue doesn't have such an idea. If you are willing, Xiaoyue is only willing to be a maid and stay in your house."

"Haha, Lu Su, take the people down and take good care of him."

"Here"

Gao Yao had expected Xiaoyue's words, so he didn't say anything more. Without Gao Yao's identity as Zhao Gao's sister, Xiaoyue was just an ordinary woman, so naturally she couldn't have much influence.

Gao Yao then notified Xiao He and Cao Shen to come and see him.

"My Lord...My Lord"

"Well, come on, sit down."

Seeing the two people appear, Gao Yao did not intend to hide his purpose and directly informed them that Hu Hai was about to leave.

"What does the lord mean?"

"It's time to give Zhao Tuo some trouble"

"Here"

Cao Shen immediately understood Gao Yao's intention and nodded in agreement. Zhao Tuo following Hu Hai all the time was a problem after all. It was impossible for Gao Yao to completely conceal his intentions. He had to communicate with Hu Hai normally, which required causing some trouble for Zhao Tuo. There were people from Nanyue preparing to attack the border, so there was no need to make too much noise, as long as it was enough to attract Zhao Tuo's attention.

Gao Yao had not appeared since Hu Hai entered the post station, in order to dispel Zhao Tuo's suspicion and make Zhao Tuo no longer suspect that he was plotting something behind his back. He even spent most of his time accompanying Hu Hai, in order to make sufficient preparations for his successful control of the Southern Border Army.

At the end of the day, Gao Yao had already been waiting at the city gate with Xiao He, watching Hu Hai and his party riding on war horses from afar.

"My lord, General Zhao Tuo, thank you for your hard work as an inspector. I have already ordered people to prepare a banquet at the post station."

"Not bad, Gao Yao, you are very good."

"Thank you for your compliment, sir. This was all arranged by General Zhao Tuo."

"Hahahaha... Lord Gao Yao has worked hard, sir, please..."

After listening to Gao Yao's words, Zhao Tuo was basically relieved at this time. From the appearance of Hu Hai to now, Gao Yao basically took all the credit on his head. This behavior made Zhao Tuo begin to think that this was a sign of Gao Yao's surrender to him, which made Zhao Tuo very happy.

Zhao Tuo was not stupid about Gao Yao's ability. He was able to govern Nanhai County to this level in just one year, and Guilin and Xiang County had also seen significant improvements. It can even be said that their development was not inferior to that of the counties near Xianyang. From a purely ability perspective, Zhao Tuo admired him.

Soon, under the leadership of Zhao Tuo, Hu Hai returned to the post station again. There were already many people waiting to serve Hu Hai. Hu Hai was also very happy. Gao Yao, who was one step behind, just happened to meet Yi Xiaochuan.

"Why don't you keep an eye on Xiaoyue?"

Gao Yao was slightly stunned by Yi Xiaochuan's direct question, and even wanted to laugh out loud. Yi Xiaochuan's words could definitely be described as shameless.

"Why would you care where she goes? And isn't she telling the truth? Aren't you using her for a deal, or don't you see that?"

"What do you see?"

"It's okay, it's okay, Yi Xiaochuan, we have plenty of time to play slowly."
