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

The more enthusiastic Gao Yao was, the more worried Zhao Tuo became. He was worried that Gao Yao might attack him. A cornered dog will jump over the wall, and a rabbit will bite when it is cornered. Gao Yao did not want to push Zhao Tuo too far.

When Gao Yao really woke up from his nap, as expected, Zhao Tuo did not leave the gate of the mansion for a whole hour. Gao Yao then asked Erniu to let him in.

"General, oh, these servants are really a hindrance. They didn't wake me up during my nap just now. I'm sorry for treating you badly. Please don't blame me."

Seeing Zhao Tuo walk into the room, Gao Yao immediately stepped forward with a guilty look on his face and grabbed Zhao Tuo's hand and apologized, as if he was really very guilty.

"I dare not. The general is very busy with official duties and just returned from Xianyang. Naturally, he is a little tired. It's just a short while. It's okay, it's okay. The general doesn't need to blame himself so much."

At this time, after saying this, the corners of his mouth twitched. He knew in his heart that Gao Yao did it on purpose. This was blatant revenge. Unfortunately, Gao Yao was now in charge of both military and political affairs and had become his immediate superior. It didn't matter whether he was willing or not. Now he could only apologize.

"Hehe, what are you talking about, General Zhao Tuo? We have always cooperated so well, otherwise how could the southern border have changed like today?"

"Yes, the general is right."

Who is the highest military commander in the southern border? It is the general of the southern border. Of course, there is no official title for him. This is just a private title. Zhao Tuo is also in a state of panic now. He failed to kill Gao Yao, and Gao Yao has now returned to the southern border. Zhao Tuo has already realized that the relationship between him and Gao Yao has reversed.

It's not even right to say it's a reversal. To be more precise, Gao Yao has completely become his leader. This is different from before. He was only in power because the entire southern garrison stood behind him. Now Gao Yao has the entire southern army in his hands. If you continue to shout at Gao Yao, it's basically like asking for trouble.

What Zhao Tuo was really worried about was that Gao Yao would come back to settle accounts with him. On the one hand, he had previously demanded a lot of benefits from Gao Yao, and on the other hand, he was secretly trying to kill Gao Yao. Either of these things was enough to give Zhao Tuo a headache.

However, when faced with Gao Yao's invitation, Zhao Tuo also understood that he was not qualified to refuse. Once he refused, it would be equivalent to giving Gao Yao a reason and excuse to deal with him.

"Okay, the reason why you are here today is actually quite simple. First, His Majesty has issued an order to recover the entire southern border. This matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. I ask the general to cooperate. In the next few days, we must discuss the various matters concerning the recovery of the southern border with the middle and high-level generals in the army as soon as possible."

"Well, please rest assured, General, I will cooperate as much as possible."

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Zhao Tuo was slightly relieved. This was the key reason why he dared to appear here. If Gao Yao wanted to mobilize troops, he would need the cooperation of his deputy general.

"As for the other matter, the general has made great contributions in the southern border. I have found a house for the general in the county city. From now on, the general can naturally settle down in the county city without worry."

"General, how can this be possible? Zhao Tuo does not accept rewards without merit, and he has been in the army for a long time and has become accustomed to it. I..."

"Hey, General Zhao Tuo, what are you talking about? Don't worry, I know you've been missing your family for a long time. I've ordered people to take your family to Nanjun. They should be on the way now and will arrive soon."

"What, you..."

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Zhao Tuo's expression suddenly changed. He never thought that Gao Yao would be so cruel and attack his family directly. This made Zhao Tuo's teeth itch, but there was no change at all.

"Alas, General, there is no need to do this. We are all serving His Majesty. But the General is so lucky. He has a beautiful woman in the southern border, a wife in his hometown, and seven children. The General will be happy in the future. It seems that I have to work hard too, so as not to be left too far behind by the General."

When Gao Yao said this, Zhao Tuo's face had changed from surprise to a somewhat horrified expression. He looked at Gao Yao with disbelief in his eyes. He really didn't expect that Gao Yao was so cruel. Gao Yao knew all the situations of his family clearly, even how many children he had.

"General, this is my family affair. I don't think you need to worry about it. Besides..."

"General Zhao Tuo, what are you talking about? This is what I should do. The general should really take a good rest and enjoy the happiness of family life."

"General, this is a bit..."

"General, isn't it clear what I said? This road is so dangerous. You are confident in your martial arts and you are not worried, but I am not sure about your family. But don't worry, I have ordered people to strengthen their protection. General, don't make a decision that you will regret."

When Gao Yao finished speaking, he had already sat down, and just quietly looked at Zhao Tuo standing in the middle of the main hall. Gao Yao was not in a hurry. It was true that he could not really kill Zhao Tuo now, but it was far from enough to just rely on the threat of official position.

Gao Yao had been in the southern border for such a long time, how could he not have known all of Zhao Tuo's situations, including how many people were in his hometown, his descendants, etc. Gao Yao had already known everything, just to prevent the two from turning against each other one day.

The reason why these things can be done is that Gao Yao is willing to spend money, cultivate enough information channels, and secretly cultivate death warriors. In ancient times, the cost of cultivating such death warriors was relatively low. The six countries were wiped out, and there were almost too many war orphans. Gao Yao was not short of money, nor was he short of food. With brainwashing and generous treatment, there were many people willing to risk their lives for this.

Now it was Zhao Tuo's turn to feel uncomfortable. He realized at this moment that it was not so easy to deal with Gao Yao's invitation. It was clearly an attempt to completely sideline him. He had to either accept it or his entire family would be killed by Gao Yao.

"Thank you, General. You have been so kind to me. I will do my best for you."

"Hahahaha...Okay, okay, come on, prepare some wine and food. I want to have a drink with General Zhao Tuo."

"Here"

In the end, Zhao Tuo did not dare to really resist Gao Yao, and chose to accept it silently. Gao Yao was too cruel. Every word he said seemed to be a good word, but it was a threat. Now Zhao Tuo could be sure that Gao Yao knew everything, but he just didn't say it. Including the fact that he assassinated the other party, Gao Yao knew everything clearly.
