Chapter 25 Chapter Twenty-Five

The eunuch who read out the imperial decree told Gao Yao that His Majesty gave him the special name "Zhao Gao" because his name "Gao Yao" sounded like a "plaster" for curing diseases, and it was really difficult to be the name of the CRRC government order. After the group of people who read out the imperial decree left, Gao Yao immediately regained his vitality. He jumped up from the ground and shouted: "Haha, I have been looking for so long, so I am Zhao Gao!" Gao Yao surrounded him excitedly. Run around the house. Xiao Chuan looked at Gao Yao's appearance, but still couldn't accept the facts in front of him.

In order to celebrate his promotion, Gao Yao immediately made a banquet to entertain Xiao Chuan. During the banquet, Gao Yao got drunk and became more and more smug.Finally, Xiao Chuan couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Gao Yao's jug, threw it to the ground hard, and roared at Gao Yao. "I don't want to drink this wine! You are Zhao Gao today, you are very happy, right? I am not happy! Do you still remember that you are Gao Lan's brother? The two of us came to Daqin and became a pair of troubled brothers, wandering around Jianghu, thinking that one day you can return to modern times! But you forgot, you forgot everything! What are you thinking about all day long? You are always thinking, I want power to dominate the world, and you are always thinking that I want one step Climb up step by step!"

Xiao Chuan trembled all over: "I'm very scared, I'm really afraid that one day my friend will become, become that Zhao Gao!" Gao Yao was stunned by Xiao Chuan's scolding, and his drunkenness disappeared without a trace.He looked at Xiao Chuan for a long time, tears slowly filled his eyes, he gave Xiao Chuan a thumbs up: "You are amazing! You are noble! You can scold me now! Have you ever thought that you brought me here , why don’t you take me back? Do you know what kind of bullying I’m being bullied here? Do you know what kind of bullying I’m being bullied by?” Gao Yao roared crazily: "Just because I have no money and power, I have become crippled! I am now a useless person!"

Gao Yao was completely insane, and the pain and hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time all burst out, and he shouted at Xiao Chuan in a irrational way: "You are amazing, everyone loves you, what kind of shitty place is this? , Break the place, break the place! I just want to walk up to the highest step step by step, step by step, step by step, step by step! I want to be Zhao Gao!" After venting hoarsely, Gao Yao fell limply and sat on the ground: "I don't want to be bullied anymore, I can't stand it, I don't want others to bully me, I want to be Zhao Gao! I want to do one, I want to do one, the highest Zhao Gao, the Zhao Gao who is under one man and above ten thousand people!"

Gao Yao's voice became lower and lower, he was trembling all over, crying like a child, curled up into a ball.No matter how strong the heart is, this scene cannot bear it, and Xiao Chuan also shed tears silently. Xiaochuan persuaded: "I know, you have suffered a lot and suffered a lot, but that can't be the reason for you to become a bad person! I hope, I hope that the legend is not true! I hope you will never It will become that Zhao Gao." Gao Yao, who became the order of the CRRC government, started his revenge plan, and a bloodbath began: from the castration of Gao Yao's officials to the eunuchs who bullied Gao Yao, one by one was killed by his minions.

At the same time, Xiao Chuan received a report that many people in the palace had disappeared recently. Xiao Chuan began to investigate. He made a list of the missing people. After arranging and combining them, he found a clue. officials and eunuchs in the imperial dining room. Xiao Chuan suddenly remembered that Gao Yao once said through gritted teeth that everyone who bullied him, he will remember in his heart, and when he gains power in the future, he will definitely kill them!Thinking of this, Ogawa was startled, then Gao Yao must be behind the massacre!Perhaps he should not be called Gao Yao anymore, because he is no longer the simple and honest Gao Yao, and now he has become Zhao Gao who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Xiao Chuan thought, who will Zhao Gao's next target be?After thinking for a while, Xiao Chuan suddenly remembered that there is one person who will definitely become the target, and he is Liu Bang! Thinking of this, Xiaochuan immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Sanbao, asking him to send it to Liu Bang in Peixian County as soon as possible, and it must be kept secret. Watching the three treasures go away, Xiao Chuan secretly said in his heart: "I hope it comes quickly! I never thought that Gao Yao would become so vicious just after he became Zhao Gao!... Stories in history still happened after all!"

Soon after Sanbao set off, Zhao Gao's minions also set off towards Pei County. After Sanbao came to Pei County, he handed over Xiaochuan's letter to Lu Zhi and Lu Gong.Now Lu Zhi is pregnant with Liu Bang's child. She and Lu Gong were surprised when they saw Xiao Chuan's letter. Lu Gong and Lu Zhi didn't dare to be negligent at the moment, quickly packed their things, and drove the carriage to chase Liu Bang who was escorting the corvée to Xianyang. At this time, Liu Bang, who didn't know anything about it, escorted the corvée to the foot of Mangdang Mountain. This is the place where Lu Su chased Xiaochuan and finally died. An incense table was set up at the side to pay homage to Lu Su.At this time, the sky suddenly changed, and the originally clear sky darkened instantly, with strong winds and flying sand and rocks.Liu Bang and the others were unable to advance, so they had to camp in a nearby village.As soon as Liu Bang and others came to the village, the sky changed again and the wind stopped. When everyone was amazed, Lu Zhi and Lu Gong's carriage arrived.

Liu Bang was shocked after reading Xiao Chuan's letter, and recalled the weird weather change just now, and sighed: "Fortunately, I worshiped the second lady today. It is the second lady's spirit in the sky that prevents me from going forward, otherwise we have already arrived at the county seat. , At that time, my head may not be guaranteed!" Only then did Lu Gong and Lu Zhi know that this was the place where Lu Su was in trouble, and the three of them burned incense to Lu Su together, thanking her for her protection. Liu Bang, Lu Zhi and Lu Gong discussed what to do now. The current CRRC government officials regard them as thorns in their eyes. They are afraid that they will be hunted down wherever they flee. Now the only way is to fall into the hands of bandits in Mangdang Mountain.

It was night, Liu Bang was very depressed, and went to a small hotel in the village to drink to relieve his worries with a few corvees, until he was very drunk. On the way back, a huge white snake blocked their way, and the corvees were too frightened to move forward. After drinking, Liu Bang became more courageous, and vented all his grievances on the white snake. Gao Yao drew his sword and chopped the white snake into several pieces. After the chopping was over, he became drunk and fell to the ground. The corvee hurriedly carried Liu Bang back to the village, and told Lu Gong and Lu Zhi about the white snake. Lu Zhi took it to heart, isn't this the "concept" that Xiao Chuan said is worthy of "hype"?

Lu pheasant woke up Liu Bang with cold water. Liu Bang was about to have a seizure, but Lu pheasant said this to him. After hearing this, Liu Bang couldn't help giving Lu pheasant a thumbs up. That night, a strange woman's cry came from the village at the foot of Mangdang Mountain. The cry was intermittent and miserable like a ghost.No one dared to go out, but listened nervously in the room. The woman cried and said: "I am the wife of the White Emperor, and my son is the son of the White Emperor. Tonight he transformed himself into a white snake to practice, but met the son of the Red Emperor who was drunk and immoral, so he killed him. You want my son to have a good life." After collecting and burying, you have to worship my son for seventy-seven forty-nine days when you return home, if not, I will definitely settle accounts with you!" The villagers in the village and the corvettes staying in the village heard the woman's cry and were terrified. They thought of Liu Bang's drunken beheading of the white snake, so they all thought that Liu Bang was the son of the Red Emperor. Early the next morning, everyone found that the head of the white snake appeared at the entrance of the village, and they were even more panicked. They came to Liu Bang's house one after another, knelt down to ask Liu Bang to be the master, and respectfully called him the son of the Red Emperor. Liu Bang pretended to be surprised, and asked everyone mysteriously: "How do you know the secret that I am the son of the Red Emperor?" Everyone told Liu Bang what the "Wife of the White Emperor" cried last night. Liu Bang pretended to ponder, and said to everyone: "Now the White Emperor is not exhausted, and I am not his opponent. It seems that I can only flee to the mountains and wait for the Red Emperor to take power. We have already missed the deadline for this corvée. Everyone is in Xianyang. Death, I can't watch everyone die, so I let you go." Everyone was very happy to hear that they could escape corvee, and they praised Liu Bang's benevolence and righteousness together. Some people immediately expressed their willingness to follow Liu Bang.Soon, a new children's song spread in the local area: "Liu Sanye, the son of the Red Emperor, cut the white snake, Shi Renyi..." To achieve the order of the CRRC government is the highest position among the internal officials, not only can be in charge of the jade seal, but also can go to court!On this day, Zhao Gao came back from court for the first time, and he was very excited. He took Xiaoyue to Xiaochuan's mansion as a guest, and Xiaochuan naturally entertained the two of them warmly.After a few glasses of wine, Zhao happily narrated his "big ambition" to the two people. "Concubine Li is a big tree. As long as you continue to take care of her, Xiaoyue, we will have no worries in the palace. As for you, Xiaochuan, you will be responsible for taking care of the imperial army. This Xianyang City is ours. As for me, go from now on. Go up to the court, get rid of the officials of the court, and the court will be ours. In this way, our family will control the hub of the world!" Hearing what the family said, Xiaoyue was a little baffled, and asked in bewilderment, "How can we be a family?" The slightly drunk Zhao Gao said with a smile: "When the time is right, I will ask the empress to release you from the palace. I will find someone to be a matchmaker and marry you to Xiao Chuan in eight palanquins. Aren't we a real family?" Xiao Yue has been in love with Xiao Chuan for a long time, when Zhao Gao mentioned the matter of marrying Xiao Chuan, her cheeks flushed with shame, she said angrily: "Brother, what are you talking about! You are not ashamed, I am ashamed! " "Hehe, are you willing or not? If so, I will propose marriage to Xiaochuan right now, how dare he not accept it? Haha..." Xiaoyue became even more shy, lowered her head, and fiddled with the ends of her hair, while Xiaochuan gave a dry cough in embarrassment. He didn't want Zhao Gao and Xiaoyue to misunderstand, so he said: "Old Zhao, there is something I want to tell you. ...I really can't promise you about this." When Zhao Gao heard this, Xiao Chuan actually rejected him, and asked in surprise, "Why?" "I have always regarded Xiaoyue as my younger sister." Xiaochuan said helplessly. When Xiaoyue heard Xiaochuan's words, tears welled up in her eyes.Zhao Gao really didn't understand: "Brother, it shouldn't be, I don't believe that you won't be tempted! Besides, you can't see that Xiaoyue has real feelings for you?" "I didn't say it directly, because I was afraid of hurting Xiaoyue's heart. Today, you forced me to this point, so I said it." Xiao Chuan was also a little anxious when he spoke. "You! Well you Yi Xiaochuan, you treated Gao Lan like this back then! Now you treat Xiaoyue..." Zhao Gao was about to continue scolding, when Xiaoyue walked between the two of them, Xiaoyue said to Zhao Gao: "Brother, you all misunderstood, Xiaoyue has never thought of going out of the palace, nor her own marriage. Brother, Don't force him any more..." Zhao Gao was even more unhappy: "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue, you were deceived by him, why do you still speak for him? Why don't you stay out of the palace and marry? I'm so pissed off by you two!" Zhao Gao walked away, leaving only Xiao Chuan and Xiao Yue, both of whom fell silent... Coming out of Xiaochuan's official office, Zhao Gao happened to meet Sanbao who had rushed back from Peixian County. Where did it come from?" Sanbao was completely unprepared against Zhao Gao, and immediately said cheerfully: "The little one just came back from Pei County." When Zhao Gao heard that it was Pei County, his eyebrows suddenly raised, thinking vigilantly what Xiaochuan sent Sanbao to Pei County. When Zhao Gao returned to the mansion, his minions came to report that Liu Bang's family had all fled Pei County after receiving the news.Zhao Gao immediately thought of the three treasures who had just returned from Peixian County, and now he understood completely, he understood that Xiaochuan sent the three treasures to Peixian County to deliver a letter to Liu Bang.Thinking of this, Zhao Gao was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he was so angry with hatred in his heart: "Yi Xiaochuan! I never thought about it, you would actually report to Liu Bang! I thought you and I were the same person, so I put you Treat me as my only friend, the only friend I trust! But you actually betrayed me for Liu Bang, for this traitor who hurt me, hurt me, and humiliated me! Hmph, Yi Xiaochuan, you are so sorry for me, you You hurt Gao Lan, you hurt Xiaoyue, you hurt me too, your guilt is unforgivable, from now on you are no longer my brother, you are an enemy blocking my progress, I will let you understand that being my enemy will pay What a price!" The more Zhao Gao thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xiao Chuan could not forgive him, and he had to take revenge on him!But now Xiao Chuan not only has Meng Tian backing him, he is also a member of the Juxian Hall, and behind him is the current son Fu Su. With Zhao Gao's current strength, he is far from being able to bring Xiao Chuan down.What he has to do now is to build up a force that can fight against Xiao Chuan.At this time, Zhao Gao remembered that Xiao Chuan once mentioned to him that Hu Hai, the second son of Qin Huang, would ascend the throne and become Qin II in the future! Zhao Gao figured it out. If he wanted to really realize his "big plan and great wish", what he had to do now was to form a power group that could defeat Young Master Fusu, and the only one who could compete with Young Master Fusu was Hu Hai.But this Hu Hai not only lacks great talent, but is also addicted to alcohol and lust, so it is really difficult to achieve great things. Zhao Gao decided that all this can only be done by himself. Zhao Gao began to win people's hearts in the court. He carefully investigated each minister, and then he chose what he liked. In the end, Zhao Gao won over a large number of ministers, and most importantly, Zhao Gao won over the current prime minister - Li Si. Zhao Gao told Li Si that if Emperor Qin's son Fusu succeeded to the throne after a hundred years, he would definitely hand over the position of prime minister to Meng Tian, ​​whom he had always valued, and then Li Si might have to return to his hometown to farm. When Li Si thought about it, this was a good statement. If Hu Hai succeeds to the throne, with Hu Hai's stupidity, he will naturally be the prime minister who manages the world.Thinking of this, Li Si readily agreed to Zhao Gao to assist Hu Hai to succeed him. With Li Si's help, Zhao Gao started his first step plan. In the name of Li Si and Hu Hai, he founded a "Loyalty Hall" opposite to "Juxian Hall", hoping to gather all the tigers and wolves from all over the world, who can serve What he used became an important force against Juxian Hall.Zhao Gao was scheming and sent several subordinates to spread rumors among the people, saying that Mr. Fusu had status but no power, while Prime Minister Li Si had power and could be promoted directly.Zhao Gao's subordinates, who were disguised as ordinary people, were making a fuss and came to the stage to register first.Instigated by Zhao Gao, a large number of people flocked towards the Loyalty Hall.Among them is the "Longxi Sansha" known for killing people without blinking an eye.The three evil spirits of Longxi, as their name suggests, have evil spirits in their appearance.Seeing that the three of them were good at martial arts, but their brains were not very bright, Zhao Gao recruited the three of them and immediately made them serve as guards. Seeing that the Loyalty Hall was really given an official position, everyone crowded towards the Loyalty Hall.
