Chapter 44 Strange Power
"The memorial should be delivered to His Majesty at noon. If Master Hu Hai is here, he will definitely be able to protect me."

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao hurriedly called one of his confidants.

"You Da, you should go to Pei County and wait for Master Hu Hai to arrive. You must explain the whole story and ask Master Hu Hai to plead for me."

Zhao Gao gave detailed instructions to his confidant.

"Don't worry, sir. I will pass on your message."

You Dama immediately went to Zhao Gao to make his assurances and bowed solemnly.

After Zhao Gao finished explaining, he quickly left.

“I hope it has some effect!”

Zhao Gao thought to himself.

Given Ying Zheng's love for Hu Hai and his previous reliance and trust in Zhao Gao, this punishment might not be too painful.

By the afternoon, Zhao Gao was wondering whether Ying Zheng would be furious when he saw the contents of his memorial.

Suddenly, the sound of dense footsteps began to be heard in the backyard of the county government office.

Zhao Gao raised his eyes and saw two neat and solemn rows of elite soldiers leading the way. After leading into the courtyard, they stood on both sides.

At this time, a eunuch named Zhao Xi, who was familiar to Zhao Gao and also served Ying Zheng but had some conflicts with him, walked in.

At this time, he was holding the imperial edict in his hand, and the county magistrate, county magistrate, county lieutenant and others of Liu County followed closely behind him.

"Zhao Xi, why is it you!"

When Zhao Gao saw Zhao Xi coming in, his face changed slightly and he had a bad feeling.

"Zhao Gao let more than 20 rebels go. His crime is unforgivable. He should be imprisoned immediately and executed at a later date."

Zhao Xi looked jokingly at Zhao Gao, who had once suppressed him and made things difficult for him everywhere, and could not help but hold up the imperial edict and read out the will of the First Emperor.

"No, impossible!"

After hearing what Zhao Xi said, Zhao Gao trembled all over, his face full of disbelief, his eyes widened and he exclaimed in horror.

"Someone, take down Zhao Gao!"

Zhao Xi ordered.

Immediately, several soldiers came forward and escorted Zhao Gao away. Zhao Gao struggled in pain.

"Impossible, Zhao Xi, you are a fake emperor. I don't believe His Majesty will kill me. Zhao Gao shouted in fear, but it was useless. He was dragged away soon."

Just as Zhao Gao was being dragged away, outside Pei County, a cavalry team of over a hundred people was slowly approaching the city gate of Pei County.

It can be seen that among hundreds of elite cavalrymen, there is a luxurious carriage guarded by them.

"They are the Imperial City Guards. The person in the luxurious carriage must be Master Hu Hai."

At this time, Zhao Gao's confidant You Da was guarding outside the city gate. When he saw the imperial guards escorting someone over, he immediately realized that the person inside was most likely Prince Hu Hai.

He immediately stepped forward to stop the team, shouting that he was ordered by Zhao Gao, the Minister of the Imperial Chariots, to come and look for Master Hu Hai.

The soldiers who originally wanted to drive You Da away stopped their actions immediately after hearing his shout. After all, Zhao Gao was a popular eunuch around His Majesty, and everyone knew that he had a good relationship with Prince Hu Hai.

Suddenly the whole team stopped temporarily.

"Keep him closer!"

Suddenly, a young man's voice was heard from the carriage.

Immediately, the soldiers on all sides received the order and moved apart slightly to make way for You Da to get closer to the carriage.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young man with fair skin, feminine features, and a somewhat cold temperament looked at You Da.

Hu Hai recognized You Da and had indeed seen this man with Zhao Gao.

"What does Zhao Gao want you to come for?" Hu Hai asked with a frown.

"Master Hu Hai, something has happened to Lord Zhao."

Then You Da told everything again, and Hu Hai nodded.

This is not a difficult matter. The emperor already favors Zhao Gao. Plus, with my previous suggestion, the most Zhao Gao can do is dismiss him from his post and investigate.

If all else fails, you can be transferred away for a period of time. Then you can act nicely in front of the emperor and mention Zhao Gao, and you will probably be able to come back to him.

"Got it, wait for the news!"

Hu Hai lowered the curtain.

You Da bowed deeply, then withdrew from the guard team and watched the team gradually enter the city gate.

When Hu Hai arrived at Pei County.

At this moment, Ye Yu was sitting cross-legged on the ground in the pavilion in the backyard of the Yinxian Peak courtyard.

Although Ye Yu had never practiced deliberately, the thirty-six energy vortices in his body were still devouring and refining the mysterious purple substance around him.

Almost all the time, Ye Yu's internal essence is increasing, bit by bit, although it is the smallest, but it can't withstand the refining day and night, and it is an amazing progress.

At this time, Ye Yu's thoughts diverged. He no longer wanted to comprehend the mysterious material energy of the void, but turned to exploring underground.

I want to capture and leverage the possible spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers.

Whether in the various Feng Shui descriptions in ancient times or in the words of novelists in later generations of Ye Yu, it is believed that mountains, rivers and land veins contain extraordinary and strange powers.

After the mysterious material energy of the stars in the sky did not work well in the past few days, Ye Yu turned to seek to comprehend the veins of mountains and rivers.

As his thoughts and ideas evolved, Ye Yu seemed to gradually feel the pulsating power of the earth, unfathomable, existing in the most primitive underground darkness.

If Ye Yu hadn't had the blessing of his extraordinary understanding, it would have been almost undetectable.

"What kind of power is this? Is it the subtle movement of the mountains and rivers?"

Ye Yu was talking to himself in his heart.

As time passed, Ye Yu's thoughts expanded more and more. In an instant, he seemed to have entered the depths of the mountains and rivers. He saw the heavy energy veins of the mountains and rivers, like a huge dragon lying on the ground.

Ye Yu's heart trembled slightly in an instant, and he realized that this should be the earth vein hidden in the deepest part of the mountains and rivers, also known as the dragon vein.

Every mountain range has dragon veins, some big, some small, which move with the times. What Ye Yu sensed now should be the dragon vein of Yinxian Peak.

While Ye Yu was immersed in cultivation, Hu Hai, who was in Pei County, had already arrived at the manor where Ying Zheng was.

He respectfully paid his respects to Ying Zheng, then sat next to Ying Zheng and happily talked about some interesting things from Xianyang City to Pei County.

Finally, when he felt the atmosphere was right, he started talking about Zhao Gao as if casually.

"I have ordered Zhao Gao to be executed on a chosen day!"

Ying Zheng picked up a piece of cake in his hand, put it into his mouth and chewed it. He didn't look at Hu Hai, but looked at the calm lake beside him, and said in a faint voice.

“What, what!!!”

Originally, Hu Hai was holding a pastry in his hand, ready to put it into his mouth, but he was instantly shocked by Ying Zheng's words and cried out in surprise.

"Cough cough cough..."

Hu Hai was choked by his own saliva and kept coughing, his face still full of disbelief.

Zhao Gao has been favored by Ying Zheng for many years. If he made a mistake this time, he shouldn't be executed without any chance, right?
"Zhao Gao was loyal to his father. Is this punishment too severe?"

After a long time, Hu Hai, who had recovered, couldn't help but want to say something for Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao had taught him prison laws and regulations for many years, and they had a very good relationship. He could not bear to watch Zhao Gao die.
