Chapter 118

It really is disgusting.

Nauseating.

A trace of ruthlessness appeared in the depths of Ying Mo’s eyes.

If one day he returned to that position,

he would definitely purge the entire officialdom of the Great Qin.

Although water that is too clear has no fish,

he would not let the entire officialdom be as chaotic as sludge, unable to see a trace of clarity.

"My lord, please return."

Seeing that Li Si seemed to want to force his way in, the guard directly drew the sword at his waist.

Although he drew his sword, he clearly did not dare to point the tip of the blade at Li Si.

The Great Qin laws had explicit regulations that one must absolutely not commit an offense against a superior.

Although Li Si had been punished by Ying Zheng, his official rank was after all above the guard.

In the entire Ministry of War, no one had greater authority than Li Si.

If this guard truly pointed his sword at Li Si, Li Si could completely use this as a pretext to execute the guard directly.

On this point, no one could find a single fault...

And this guard would have died for nothing.

This guard was clearly extremely clever.

He drew his sword, clearly wanting to deter Li Si.

But he held the sword horizontally in front of himself, clearly just using the sword as a shield.

A sword without aggression does not count as a provocation, but it also has a deterrent meaning.

"A clever man."

Ying Mo secretly praised in his heart.

A trace of admiration also revealed itself in his eyes as he looked at the guard.

"Get out of my way!"

Li Si didn’t care about the guard at all and slapped the guard directly.

Given the guard’s strength, he was clearly no match for Li Si.

Subsequently, he was sent flying directly.

He landed on the ground and rolled several times heavily.

Finally, he lay on the ground, motionless.

Seeing this scene, the smile in Ying Mo’s eyes grew even stronger.

This guy is truly incredibly clever.

That move just now allowed him to have an explanation before those people in the Ministry of War.

Now, although he took a slap, he could also gain a good reputation for being loyal and devoted to his duty.

Lying on the ground, he clearly didn’t intend to clash head-on with Li Si.

Everything, every single thing, was developing in a good direction.

"He is a talent."

Ying Mo suddenly had a bit of interest in this guard.

However, he hadn’t forgotten that he was currently acting as Zuo Zhongtang.

Subsequently, he immediately followed behind Li Si and walked into the gates of the Ministry of War.

Just after their figures disappeared at the gate, the guard lying on the ground stood up directly.

He rubbed his somewhat dull and painful chest, but his eyes carried a look of satisfaction.

"With this, I should be able to report back."

Qiao Qi rubbed his chest and then walked toward the gate once again.

When the master told him to keep Li Si out of the gate, he had already thought of a countermeasure.

Although those lords told him he must keep Li Si out and absolutely not let him in,

how could such a thing be done?

He was just a small servant.

In front of Li Si, he might not even be as good as an ant.

If Li Si insisted on forcing his way in, how could he possibly stop him?

……

……

…….

"My lord, it’s bad; Li Si has forced his way in."

A servant ran in quickly from outside and said loudly.

After hearing this, Liu Qizhong, the Prefect of the Ministry of War, had a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

"Wasn’t someone told to keep him out of the gate? How could he still get in?"

"My lord, Li Si forced his way in directly and even injured the guard outside the gate."

The servant reported.

After hearing the servant’s words, a flash of dissatisfaction flickered in Liu Qizhong’s eyes.

These were all his men from the Ministry of War; it wasn’t Li Si’s turn to act recklessly here.

"Didn’t I hear that Prefect Liu was not in the Ministry of War today?"

As soon as Li Si walked in, his gaze stared straight at Liu Qizhong.

His eyes even carried a bit of mockery.

"I wonder what business Lord Li Si has coming to my Ministry of War?"

"How would the subordinates know our whereabouts? It’s probably just empty talk."

Liu Qizhong clearly didn’t care about Li Si’s attitude and just took a sip of tea calmly.

Anyway, he was very clear about the purpose of Li Si’s visit this time.

"Lord Liu, His Majesty sent me to investigate this case."

"The Ministry of War should naturally cooperate fully; what do you think?"

A flash of coldness flickered in the depths of Li Si’s eyes.

He wanted to see how this Liu Qizhong would refuse him.

"Lord Li, I have also heard of this case."

"But Lord Li doesn’t know that my Ministry of War is currently responsible for all military affairs."

"Everyone is busy to the point of exhaustion; where would we have manpower to send to Lord Li?"

Liu Qizhong said calmly.

Looking at this guy in front of him who was impervious to reason,

Li Si snorted coldly directly.

"Lord Liu, is this not giving me face?"

"Look at what Lord Li is saying; face and such, I naturally want to give."

"But I really can’t spare any manpower under my command."

"If Lord Li really wants to wait, then come back in three days."

Liu Qizhong smiled and said to Li Si.

After hearing Liu Qizhong’s words, Li Si’s entire face turned completely cold.

After three days?

His Majesty only gave him three days.

If after three days he still couldn’t find any clues,

he could just wait to lose his head.

"It seems Lord Liu doesn’t intend to give me this face; no matter, we shall wait and see."
