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

Listening to Hu Hai's words, Yi Xiaochuan looked at Hu Hai with anger in his eyes.

"Sir, do you mean that Meng Yi tortured himself into this state just to frame Yu Gao?"

"General Meng Yi, what are you talking about? I am willing to believe you, but there must be a reason. Of course, if you insist, I can also report it to my father, but there must be a reason."

"What's the reason? What other reason is there? Gao Yao intends to rebel."

"General, you can't say that."

"Sir, haven't you figured it out yet? Gao Yao deliberately arranged all kinds of benefits for you in order to paralyze you and make you lose your guard. His purpose was to make you think this way, so that he could attack me. I just got away with it."

"General, do you mean that I have neglected the mission given to me by my father?"

After hearing what Yi Xiaochuan said, Hu Hai, who had been somewhat amiable at first, now looked rather grim. After all, what Yi Xiaochuan had just said meant that he was only concerned with eating, drinking and having fun, and had not performed his duty as a military supervisor properly. Even if this was true, it was not something Yi Xiaochuan could say. He was a prince, and he was the monarch after all, while Yi Xiaochuan was just a minister. Yi Xiaochuan's words were equivalent to criticizing Yi Xiaochuan, and how could Hu Hai be willing to do that?

"If I remember correctly, it was General Meng Tian who recommended me to the emperor. It was your Meng family who asked me to come to the southern border, but now you are blaming me. Do you want to rebel?"

"Sir, I dare not."

Listening to Hu Hai's anger, Yi Xiaochuan also realized that he was a little excited. He endured the pain and knelt directly on the bed, while Hu Hai waved his sleeves and stood up and left.

"I think General Meng Yi has recovered well. In that case, we will set out on a chosen day and return to Xianyang."

Before leaving the room, Hu Hai stopped and gave an order, then left the room. This made Yi Xiaochuan's face pale again, and his hatred for Gao Yao became stronger, and he even hated Hu Hai. However, Yi Xiaochuan also understood that no matter how dissatisfied he was, Hu Hai was a prince and he was a minister, and the gap in their relationship was too big. If he really angered Hu Hai, or made Hu Hai completely hate him, Meng Tian would be in trouble. After all, this was the Qin Dynasty.

After everyone left, Yi Xiaochuan fell weakly on the bed. However, at this time, Yi Xiaochuan didn't even dare to sleep soundly. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could think of the scene of Gao Yao and Yu Shu humiliating him together, and he could feel the empty feeling in his lower body.

On the other hand, after Gao Yao returned to the county city, he first settled the affairs of his personal soldiers, and then called back Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Han Xin. Yi Xiaochuan's escape was indeed something Gao Yao had not expected. Gao Yao had never thought that even Yu Shu had used her, but still could not kill Yi Xiaochuan directly. This was indeed difficult for Gao Yao to accept. If Yi Xiaochuan died, things would be much easier. Gao Yao would not only be able to obtain a large number of system rewards, but also would not have to worry about the sequelae. After all, Zhao Tuo was bound to bear the blame.

But now that Yi Xiaochuan is alive, things will definitely be more troublesome. First of all, the biggest possibility is that Gao Yao will be summoned to Xianyang. This is inevitable. Whether it is a round trip, the danger is obvious. Although Gao Yao has made preparations in advance, this situation is undoubtedly one of the worst.

But it is also possible that this is a real opportunity, and the reason why Xiao He and his companions were found was for this matter.

"Lord"

"Okay, no need to be polite, come to the table and eat."

In Gao Yao's mansion, next to the steaming hot pot, Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Han Xin sat down one after another. They waited until Gao Yao started to eat before they started to eat.

"Some unexpected changes have occurred. I may have to go to Xianyang."

"My Lord, is this related to Master Hu Hai's visit to the southern border?"

"I guess so. In this case, the affairs of the southern border will be entrusted to the three of you. Han Xin, you will still be responsible for training the soldiers. Keep a low profile and consult Cao Shen and Xiao He if you have any questions."

"Well, my lord, rest assured. My lord trusts Han Xin, so Han Xin will not make the mistake of being arrogant and bound to fail."

"Xiao He, if I leave, the government affairs of the three counties will be entrusted to you. You must remember one thing: loosen up where you should loosen up, and tighten up where you should tighten up. This is especially important for the people of the Nanyue clan. Do you understand?"

"Well, please rest assured, my lord."

"As for Cao Shen, the military power of the three counties is in your hands. You must win the loyalty of the garrisons of the three counties as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

After Hu Hai's visit, and with all the previous events, Gao Yao had already taken full control of the 30,000 troops. With the addition of the various troops he had brought in and some of the people from South Vietnam, the total force he had was more than 35,000.

"Please rest assured, my lord. Cao Shen will definitely ensure the safety of the three counties. If there is any failure, I am willing to sacrifice my life..."

"Stop, your heads are not that cheap, understand?"

"Here"

After hearing Gao Yao's words, the three of them responded in unison.

"My lord, Zhao Tuo has been looking for you for days. You have been lying in bed recuperating in the mansion, claiming that you caught a cold. As for Zhao Tuo..."

"Haha, don't worry, he hasn't really received the news yet. When he really receives the news, he won't make any moves. He will even be very cautious, for fear of being caught."

"My Lord, what is going on? We..."

"Meng Yi, attacked, narrowly escaped death"

"what!"

When Gao Yao said this, the three of them were all shocked. No one had expected such a thing to happen.

"My lord, that Master Hu Hai..."

"Hu Hai is fine. The only person attacked was Meng Yi, and Meng Yi was not with Hu Hai."

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Xiao He and Cao Shen looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They both knew that the person who made the move could only be Gao Yao. However, they were somewhat puzzled. Gao Yao had always been cautious in his actions. How could such a thing happen, especially in the southern border, and someone even escaped?

"This is what I want you to investigate now. Xiao He's matter mainly depends on you. I want to know who saved Meng Yi. Do you understand?"

"Well, my lord, rest assured, I will do my best."
