Chapter 21

Zhao Gao nodded gently and said to Hu Hai: "Imperial Prince, you just need to go back now, stay in your residence, and don't go anywhere..."

"Do what you usually do, and don't show any abnormalities..."

"Then everything will be fine!"

"Nothing will happen! Imperial Prince, you go back first..."

Zhao Gao urged Hu Hai to return.

Hu Hai did not dare to linger.

He stood up hurriedly.

And left Zhao Gao’s residence.

Zhao Gao watched Hu Hai’s departing back, his expression instantly turning somber as water.

In his eyes, gloomy and cold light flickered.

Just at this moment.

One of Zhao Gao’s subordinates.

Walked into the hall in a hurry and arrived before Zhao Gao.

Seeing his subordinate return.

Zhao Gao’s eyes lit up, and a look of anxiety and anticipation flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Is there any news from the Lord?" Zhao Gao asked.

The person who came heard Zhao Gao’s words.

A bitter smile appeared on his face,

he shook his head slightly and said to Zhao Gao: "Lord Zhao, they are not giving a response..."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao’s expression changed abruptly, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

"No response?"

"What does the Lord mean by this?"

"Now that something has happened, do they intend to abandon me, Zhao Gao?!"

"These bastards, are they trying to cross the river and burn the bridge? Damn it!!!"

Zhao Gao was both shocked and angry!

He couldn't help but curse!

He paced back and forth in the hall, considering the current situation.

Zhao Baili’s death and the appearance of Ghost made Zhao Gao feel a strong sense of crisis.

Therefore, he immediately.

Sent someone to contact that Lord.

However,

the other party was now ignoring him!!!

It seemed they wanted to abandon him?!

This...

was unacceptable to him!

"These bastards..."

Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and couldn't help but curse: "The matter from five years ago didn't just involve me alone!"

"Everyone had a share!"

"Now that something has happened, why should it be my people who die first?!"

"Do they really think I, Zhao Gao, am easy to bully? If I don't get any benefits, don't think you’ll have it easy either!!!"

Zhao Gao cursed in his heart.

"No!"

Suddenly,

Zhao Gao stopped, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes: "I must ask clearly what the Lord is thinking about this matter!"

"Even if I die..."

"I want to be a ghost who knows the truth!"

The current situation made Zhao Gao extremely nervous and fearful.

Therefore,

he decided,

to go and find that Lord.

He had to figure out what that Lord was thinking now.

And how they were arranging the next steps.

He did not want,

his own people to die in vain like this!

And he didn't want,

to be inexplicably,

sold out and used as a scapegoat!

Creak—

A slight sound of a door opening rang out.

The back door of Zhao Gao’s residence opened a crack.

Subsequently, Zhao Gao’s figure slipped out through the crack.

After coming out, Zhao Gao first cautiously observed his surroundings.

Ensuring there was no movement outside, he put on a cloak and stepped into the darkness.

However,

what Zhao Gao did not know was.

The moment he stepped out of the back door, in several dark corners in the distance.

Several pairs of eyes were staring tightly at his every move!

The Eastern Depot!

The Embroidered Uniform Guard!

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion!

People from the protagonist’s several intelligence agencies.

Were watching his every move at all times.

The moment he went out,

his tracks were captured, and someone followed...

The second chapter is presented!

Working hard to release more chapters, begging everyone for flowers and evaluation tickets for support!!

The data is so bad, wuwuwu...

Please, everyone,

A new book relies on these statistics for support!! ===== CHAPTER 48 =====

Although Zhao Gao was vigilant.

However,

facing these professionals. ===== CHAPTER 49 =====

it didn't have much effect; he was followed closely and remained completely unaware.

In the darkness,

Zhao Gao’s expression was somber.

In his eyes, cold light bloomed.

"What is the background of this Ghost?!"

"Will the appearance of these people lead to the complete exposure of the conspiracy from five years ago?"

"If the conspiracy is completely exposed, then we are in danger..."

"I must find a way to extract myself; I must not fall into the center of the vortex, otherwise I will die without a burial place..."

In Zhao Gao’s mind, Ying Zheng’s figure emerged.

Thinking of this Emperor’s terror.

Zhao Gao couldn't help but shudder.

He understood,

that if the conspiracy were exposed,

and Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng found out,

that he had participated in the terrifying conspiracy five years ago, he would definitely die without a whole corpse...

His nine generations would be wiped out!!!

Therefore,

he must,

find a way to extract himself!

"Let’s see what that Lord is thinking first; if he is unwilling to protect me..."

Zhao Gao gritted his teeth, a flash of madness in his eyes: "Then we will all die together!!!"

Thinking this, Zhao Gao observed the surrounding environment while quickening his pace.

Soon, Zhao Gao arrived in a hidden street alley.

He turned through the alleyways, heading toward his destination.

Finally,

Zhao Gao arrived in a cold and dilapidated alley and entered a civilian house.

The moment Zhao Gao entered the house, three people in black robes suddenly appeared in the room.

"Zhao Gao..."

One of the black-robed men, seeing Zhao Gao appear, had cold light flashing in his eyes, his voice cold and dry: "You shouldn't have come here!"

"This is a critical moment; you should stay in your residence and not go anywhere!"

"You running out will only attract unnecessary attention!"

Upon hearing the black-robed man’s words, Zhao Gao’s expression turned iron-blue, his eyes full of anger.

"Zhao Baili is dead!"

Zhao Gao glared at the black-robed man and said angrily: "That person who calls himself Ghost has appeared, how do you expect me to sit still?!"

"You people, what exactly are you doing?!"

"Didn't you promise before that you would protect Zhao Baili well?!"

"How could you let Zhao Baili be killed in broad daylight?!"

Zhao Gao was furious and questioned these black-robed men loudly.

"Zhao Gao!"

Hearing Zhao Gao’s questioning, the black-robed man’s expression turned cold, and killing intent flashed in his eyes: "Watch your attitude! Do you not know who you are talking to?!"

The other two black-robed men also had cold expressions and were filled with killing intent.

Even,

their weapons were drawn from their scabbards at this moment!!!

Cold light flickered!

Killing intent surged!

"I..."

Zhao Gao instantly deflated, his expression changing again and again.

Staring fixedly at the three black-robed men, thinking of the Lord behind them.

Even though he was furious in his heart, Zhao Gao could only grit his teeth and endure it.

With a somber face.

Zhao Gao took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "Why did those people kill Zhao Baili? Was it the Emperor who arranged for someone to kill him?"

Even now.

Zhao Gao still didn't know.

Where the person who called himself Ghost came from, or who arranged for him to kill Zhao Baili.

"No!"

The black-robed man shook his head: "Ying Zheng is unaware of this; that Ghost was not sent by him!"

"That Ghost is in the same group as the Snow Dragon Cavalry that appeared before!"

"They all claim to be Ying Mo’s subordinates!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao’s pupils contracted violently, a chill surged, and his scalp exploded instantly.

"Bullshit!"

Zhao Gao couldn't accept it: "Ying Mo died five years ago!"

"The forces under him were also cleared out long ago!"

"How could these people have anything to do with him?!"

"Absolutely impossible!!!"

Zhao Gao appeared somewhat mad, staring fixedly at the three black-robed men.

"Are you hiding something from me?!"

"Deliberately feeding me false information?"

"Are you planning to betray me?!!!"

At this moment,

the naturally suspicious Zhao Gao’s vigilance was raised to the extreme!

Now he even suspected,

that these people hadn't told him the truth,

Planning to trick him to his death!

"Shut up!!!"

Looking at Zhao Gao’s mad appearance, the black-robed man flew into a rage: "Calm down!!! If you act like this again, do you believe I’ll kill you right now?!"

Buzz buzz!!!

The other two black-robed men,

had their drawn longswords pointed directly at Zhao Gao!!!

They were ready to kill him if there was the slightest disagreement!

At this, Zhao Gao was instantly scared into calmness!

Seeing Zhao Gao calm down, the black-robed man snorted coldly, his eyes full of impatience.

"You don't need to panic!"

The black-robed man said coldly: "I have already reported this to my Lord!"

"My Lord will have a countermeasure!"

"You don't need to worry!!!"

"Moreover, Ying Mo is indeed dead; those people who have appeared now..."

"Whether it’s the Snow Dragon Cavalry or that person who calls himself Ghost, they are at most just remnants of the Annan Army!"

"Not worth mentioning!!!"

Listening to these words, the fear in Zhao Gao’s heart subsided quite a bit.

His expression changed again and again, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Even if those people are not to be feared, but..."
