Chapter 46 Complete Destruction

Upon hearing that Ye Yu had come out of seclusion, Qi Xianyu also came over.

As for Lu Zhi and Lu Shu, they had lived here for a few days, but they could not stay for long. Before Ye Yu went into seclusion to practice, they had already returned to Lu Mansion.

Qi Xianyu came over, and during the conversation, Ye Yu confirmed that he had indeed been practicing for two or three days.

This was the longest time Ye Yu had ever practiced.

"It seems that the mysterious energy contained in the dragon vein even has some fasting effects. At least now that I've woken up, I still don't feel hungry."

Ye Yu couldn't help but think to himself.

However, Qi Xianyu and Lu Ling quickly prepared some food, and the three of them sat in the pavilion in the front yard, eating and talking about recent events.

"Two days ago, two more people came to the mountain to become my disciples. I heard they were two beggars. They are still kneeling at the foot of the mountain."

Junior Sister Lu Ling talked about what was happening down the mountain.

"Ignore them and they will go away!"

Ye Yu replied.

Ever since he accepted Gai Nie, Han Xin and others, Ye Yu knew that there would be people who would follow their example, so he was mentally prepared.

Before, he accepted Gai Nie and others as outer disciples just because he wanted to have someone guarding the mountain gate so that the courtyard would not be surrounded by countless people all the time.

"That Lord Wang came to visit you yesterday, but it's a pity that you are still in seclusion practicing."

Qi Xianyu also mentioned something.

"Really? That's really unfortunate."

Ye Yu didn't take it seriously. He thought that this Lord Wang didn't have anything important to do and he just wanted to make friends with him.

"He also brought a few very beautiful women with him. I heard they were his daughters. Among them, a girl named Yang'er was the most beautiful and dignified."

After seeing Ye Yu's reaction, Qi Xianyu immediately added another sentence.

After hearing Qi Xianyu's words, Ye Yu immediately reacted. This time, Lord Wang
Come here, it turns out you want to introduce your daughter to me!
But considering Lord Wang’s age, it’s normal for him to have several daughters.

Junior Sister Lu Wei, who was standing at the side, heard her master and senior brother talking about the beautiful girls from yesterday. She did not interrupt, but was just wondering whether she should inform Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi was the first to know Ye Yu, and there was more or less some kind of friendship between the two of them.

So it is understandable that Junior Sister Lu Ling felt jealous.

But several beautiful women appeared at once, which made Junior Sister Lu Wei alert.

The three were talking in the prison of Liu County.

Zhao Gao was wearing prison clothes and had his hair disheveled. Although he looked a little disheveled, he was in relatively good condition.

He sat calmly in a corner of the cell, looking towards the prison gate from time to time, still puzzled in his mind as to why Ying Zheng wanted to kill him this time.

In fact, in his early years, Zhao Gao also committed serious crimes and should have been executed according to the law, but relying on his eloquence, he successfully got Ying Zheng to pardon his crimes.

Even if the crime this time was serious, if Ying Zheng still favored him, he would definitely not be sentenced to death.

"So that time when His Majesty came back from outside, he seemed to suddenly become cold towards me. Was it not an illusion?
Is there really someone behind my back, who could that person be? It seemed like His Majesty came back from Hidden Immortal Peak that day, could it be the Taoist priest Ye Yu?
It's impossible. I have no grudge against him in the past or in the present, and I have never even met him. Is there any official who is instigating and slandering me in front of Your Majesty?"

For the past three days since he was imprisoned, Zhao Gao has been constantly thinking about who had framed him and caused him to lose the favor of the First Emperor.

If not for this, even if he was dismissed from his post and demoted to a commoner, he would not be sentenced to death.

But Zhao Gao was puzzled. His methods were cruel and sinister. He had indeed harmed some people and offended many people. However, he racked his brains and could not figure out what the First Emperor knew and why he no longer trusted him. However, Zhao Gao did not despair. He still had the trump card of Hu Hai. In the past few days, Hu Hai should have arrived in Pei County. As long as he spoke, it would be more than enough to save his life.

"When I get out and find the person who is against me, I will kill his entire family!"

Zhao Gao said angrily in his heart.

At this moment, there were sudden sounds of footsteps in the prison. Zhao Gao looked and saw that it was the county lieutenant of Liu County leading a few people, walking towards him.

Zhao Gao was immediately overjoyed. It seemed that Master Hu Hai had helped and he could finally get out.

"Zhao Gao, your time has come. Eat this and get ready to go!"

But before Zhao Gao could get excited for long, the words of the Liu County lieutenant were like a huge hammer hitting his head, making his head buzz and making him stunned.

"Impossible, who on earth ordered you to do this? Are you trying to strike first because you're afraid I'll go out and find them to settle the score!!!"

Zhao Gao stood up suddenly in horror, his eyes bloodshot and his voice hoarse, no longer as calm as before. He grabbed the wooden bars of the cell and roared in unwillingness.

"I am good friends with Master Hu Hai. If you try to kill me, you will lose your own life as well..."

When Zhao Gao saw that the county lieutenant and several jailers in front of him were unmoved, he immediately threatened them in a cold and hateful voice.

"Master Hu Hai?"

Hearing his threatening words, the county lieutenant of Liu County looked at Zhao Gao with a strange expression.

"Ha ha……"

"Pfft..."

Several jailers who followed in couldn't help laughing.

Their smile made Zhao Gao a little confused.

Is the prince's deterrent power so low?
Are they fools, or do they have something to rely on?
Chapter 65: Zhao Gao is executed, Gai Nie tests his sword
"What are you laughing at? How dare you laugh at Master Hu Hai? Aren't you afraid of being punished by him?"

Zhao Gao had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still looked fierce but was actually weak, and he forced himself to shout at the jailer in front of him.

After hearing what Zhao Gao said, the laughter of several jailers finally subsided, but it was still obvious that they did not show any fear.

"Zhao Gao, stop dreaming. Hu Hai is a tyrant with bad behavior. Your Majesty has demoted him to a commoner and exiled him to Lingnan."

Seeing that Zhao Gao was still confused, the county lieutenant of Liu County immediately spoke to Zhao Gao.

"W-what???"

Hearing this, Zhao Gao was horrified, staggered back, his face full of shock and disbelief.

"This is impossible! How is this possible???"

Zhao Gao shook his head repeatedly, speechless with shock, unable to believe the news. "Your Majesty loves Prince Hu Hai the most, what nonsense are you talking about!!!"

Zhao Gao found it hard to accept this news.

This meant that his only chance of survival was completely destroyed along with this news.

But why did His Majesty suddenly punish Prince Hu Hai so severely? After all, he was his favorite son, so it was understandable that he was deprived of his title and rewards and confined for several years.

But why was he suddenly demoted to a commoner? And even exiled to Lingnan.

Lingnan was full of miasma, with poor mountains and bad water, and the journey was long. Hu Hai's being exiled there was almost a death sentence for him.

Hu Hai has completely lost the chance to return to the Central Plains!!!
