In a fit of anger, Ying Zheng turned around and said to Zhao Gao, "No wonder the royal guards who were assigned by the oligarchs months ago have not been heard from since they left. So it was because of this calamity. Fortunately, you, Zhao Gao, are lucky enough to be unharmed. Otherwise, you would be sinned because of this. "

This showed how deeply his mother had cared for him when he was young, and even at that time, Ying Zheng had never felt this way towards his father, the King, Ying Wuxia, or his mother, Zhao Ji. Therefore, after Zhao Gao's mother was executed and exiled, Ying Zheng became eccentric and violent, becoming a cold-blooded king. In his eyes, only power as exalted and exalted as that of his father, Prince Ying, was the greatest goal of his life. And now, ever since he had met Zhao Gao again, it was as if he had seen his birth mother back then.

"With the blessing of His Majesty, Zhao Gaotao, we will be able to escape this calamity. We will work hard to repay His Majesty for his endless kindness." Zhao Gao seemed to be accustomed to these flattering words. The moment he opened his mouth, it was already so natural.

After Zhao Gao's flattery, he suddenly thought of something and asked with a sullen face, "Who was so weak to leave His Majesty outside the mountains? This is a crime worthy of death!" It turned out that he hadn't seen Ying Zheng's true identity before because Ying Zheng's disheveled appearance made it hard for him to think that Ying Zheng was the ruler of a country. Since he had now confirmed Ying Zheng's identity, he had to find a way to dispel the doubts he had earlier.

Hearing Zhao Gao's angry words, Ying Zheng also felt a little inclined towards him, and said bitterly, "It's all because of Reese's incompetence. The Oligarchs trusted him so much, he forced the Oligarchs to act personally, and yet he openly abandoned the life and death of the Oligarchs. That's why he was forced to such a sorry state by the bandits of the Six Armies."

"Ah?" It was actually Prime Minister Li? When this old servant was at the residence of a reclusive official, I often heard that Prime Minister Li was working hard for the country and worried about the country, so why would he do such a reckless thing as if he were missing something? " Zhao Gao pretended to be surprised and shook his head.

"Hmph, before, when he first joined the Qin Court, he was already aware of the fact that he was loyal to his duty, but today, he is becoming more and more proud. It's his fault that the oligarchs are usually too proud of him, and they leave everything to him to deal with, resulting in a disaster like this." Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed when he thought about his miserable situation today and the fact that Reese had the power to step into the imperial court in the past.

"Sigh, I didn't expect Prime Minister Li to return the favor without knowing about it. He actually gave me the responsibility. If I, Zhao Gao, were to receive such a great favor from His Majesty, I would be willing to accept it." Zhao Gao pretended to sigh and said indignantly.

"If everyone in the Great Qin Sect could be as loyal and sincere as you, Lady Zhao, to treat an oligarch, how could an oligarch end up in such a sorry state?" Ying Zheng had been nurtured by Zhao Gao's mother, Zhao Ying, so he treated Zhao Gao this way too. Together, they brought him into the Zhao Family.

"Your Majesty, do not worry. Since Zhao Gao was lucky enough to meet Your Majesty again today, then from today onwards, Zhao Gao will follow by His Majesty's side and be his servant. He will never have any ulterior motives!" Zhao Gao's solemn words made people feel very touched.

"I know how loyal you are, but at the moment, I'm afraid you've escaped from a calamity." When Ying Zheng heard Zhao Gao's words, he felt very relieved. However, he couldn't help but start to worry again.

Seeing that Ying Zheng's eyebrows were knitted tightly and his face looked depressed, Zhao Gao remembered that he had hurriedly squeezed his way into the secret compartment and asked in a low voice, "Has His Majesty been followed by the adulterers?"

Ying Zheng nodded, still looking worried.

Seeing Ying Zheng nod and admit that he was wrong, Zhao Gao thought to himself for a while, and then immediately came to a conclusion. He then said to Ying Zheng confidently, "Your highness, you can hide in the hidden compartment where I have a rest. When that thief comes chasing after you, I will deceive him and divert his attention."

"As long as we can escape the pursuit of that thief and save our lives, so what if we are wronged for a while?" Hearing Zhao Gao's words, it seemed that it was a feasible plan, and Ying Zheng immediately raised his voice and said loudly.

"Then your Imperial Majesty, please conceal yourself as soon as possible." Zhao Gao raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation towards Ying Zheng, then told him to hide behind the clay statue.

After Ying Zheng hid himself in the secret compartment, he put on the cloak that he had taken off earlier, and carefully put away the imperial edict from the coach's mansion, then twisted his hair into a mess, and wiped some dust off his face, making it look even dirtier and dirtier. Only then did he lie on his side on the ground, pretending to be asleep, waiting for the opportunity to kill Ying Zheng's assassin.

After a while, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, and in an instant, he arrived at the threshold of the broken temple. Before the man even entered, he muttered to himself, "Let's see where a weak master like you can run to."

That person's voice was filled with a slight sense of cunning and pride. He was indeed the carefree man who had been chasing after Ying Zheng the whole way. Previously, Xiao San and his group were entangled with Meng Yi, and he thought that he would be able to deal with the two of them quickly, but the two of them were much more troublesome than he had imagined, although he would definitely win after a long battle, but he wanted to catch Ying Zheng, so he did not want to waste any more time with the two of them, thus, he used a method of escape, passing through their encirclement, and chased after them. Meng Tianyi and Meng Yi were not martial artists in the martial world. How could they possibly catch up to the steps of the unaffiliated men? After chasing for a few steps, he disappeared without a trace.

Free and Unrestrained Man had followed Ying Zheng's messy footprints all the way here, and when he saw that the last footprints had disappeared, he assumed that Ying Zheng must have hidden himself in this run-down temple. Therefore, he purposely shouted out these words at the entrance of the run-down temple, and the complacency in his words told Ying Zheng that he was now a turtle in a jar.

However, just as he stepped through the door, he was met with the smell of Zhao Gao's body, making him feel nauseous. When Zhao Gao heard that person's footsteps had reached the door, he purposely flung his long sleeves, creating a gust of wind and then pounced at the door, causing Free and Unrestrained Heroes to crash into him.

After being attacked by this stench, Free and Unrestrained Man immediately felt that he was caught off guard. Looking carefully, he realized that Zhao Gao was lying on the ground, and he couldn't help but curse in an extremely unsatisfied tone, "You stinky beggar, you're lying here and courting death!" Although he was cursing loudly, he covered his nose and mouth, so the cursing was not loud. Instead, it was muffled and powerless.

Although Zhao Gao was panicking, he still lazily lied on the ground, ignoring the angry curses from the Free and Unrestrained Priests.

Free and Unrestrained, looking at the beggar lying on the ground, his entire body reeking of stench, and then looking around the broken temple, he saw the thick dust and cobwebs all around him, which did not look like a place a king would come to sleep. He could not help but think: "Did I guess wrongly?"

However, thinking that the strange poison Tai Lang had poisoned him with could easily take his life at any time, he dared not to give up the opportunity to catch Ying Zheng so easily. He released his left hand that was covering his mouth and nose, yelled at Zhao Gao and said, "Hey, stinky beggar, have you seen anyone come here?"

Zhao Gao wiggled his body and lazily answered, "I've lived in this place for many years, it would be a great thing if anyone was willing to accompany me."

Free and Unrestrained Freak saw that the beggar was filthy and spoke in such an unrestrained manner. It was obvious that this beggar had been asking for food for many years because of his thick skin. However, he didn't seem to have any suspicions about the beggar. Therefore, he didn't have to hide anything from Ying Zheng. Since he said so, Ying Zheng probably hadn't set foot in this place either.

Free and Unrestrained Hero couldn't help but spit at Zhao Gao while cursing, "What bad luck!" He turned around and prepared to leave. When Zhao Gao heard this, he finally left with curses. It was obvious that his disguise had worked. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, when the person was halfway to the temple, he caught a glimpse of some messy footprints in the corner. He couldn't help but feel suspicious, "Hm?" He made a sound.

It turned out that because of the dim light in the temple, as well as the stench of the beggar, Free and Unrestrained, San San didn't pay any attention to the surroundings of the temple. He turned the half of his body around and looked at the messy footprints again. Two of the prints were of different sizes and depths. They crisscrossed with each other and disappeared behind the clay statue.

Free and Unrestrained had noticed the strange footprints left behind. He sneered and said coldly to Zhao Gao, who was lying on the ground, "I didn't know that this beggar has some skill. He almost fooled me."

At this time, Zhao Gao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly heard the strange laughter of Xiao Yao. He couldn't help but be startled and immediately broke out in cold sweat as he thought to himself, "Not good!" "This thief actually saw through us!" However, he was originally a powerless eunuch. Now that he knew that the other party had seen through a flaw, he was even more frightened than ever and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Seeing that Zhao Gao was still lying there without moving, Xiao Yao's sneer turned fierce as he shouted, "Since you want to interfere, then I will have to ask for your advice!" As soon as he finished speaking, the staff in his hand came out from his sleeve, and with a "ding", stabbed into the ground. It directly shattered the green stone bricks on the surface of the broken temple. It turned out that the Free and Unrestrained Rogue walked in the martial world. With his many years of experience, he knew that the more sudden changes that happened to someone, the more unfathomable his martial arts cultivation was. That was why he showed his full power so that the other party would know about it.

In fact, Zhao Gao was not some martial arts expert at all. He was only pretending to be the one chasing after Ying Zheng to deceive him. Now that he heard the deafening crash, he knew that Ying Zheng was already filled with killing intent. He was so scared that his whole body was shivering and his limbs were weak.

At the same time, Ying Zheng, who was hiding in the dark space behind the clay statue, was quite frightened when he heard the sound of his strong and powerful inner force piercing through the floor. His body involuntarily quivered, and the fence fence was not repaired well for a long time, so he couldn't withstand the vibration of his body.

With this, Unhindered was even more certain that there was something strange behind the clay statue. Judging from the footprints he had made earlier, Ying Zheng was most likely hiding behind the clay statue. Therefore, he was glad and pleased with himself. Fortunately, he had almost missed the opportunity to catch Ying Zheng. He was proud that he was merely trying to capture Ying Zheng with a simple move of his hand.

But even so, he did not dare to be careless, because the beggar lying on the ground was still a mystery to him. Before this mystery was solved, any possible variables could occur.

"Since you don't put me in your eyes and aren't willing to teach me, I will have to give it a try myself." As he said this, he retrieved his iron staff from the ground, swept it in front of him, and made a starting position. He avoided Zhao Gao as much as possible, moving slowly towards the mud figure. He didn't care what kind of background that beggar had. He only hoped that Ji Hao wouldn't fight with him, and only wanted to capture Ying Zheng and take him away.

Right now, he heard the footsteps slowly moving, thinking that the thief was going to take his life at any moment, and was racking his brains to come up with an excuse to explain to him, in order to spare his life. After all, that person did not come for him, and he did not need to lose his life for the sake of being rich.

However, just as he was about to cry out for mercy, a melodious and clear voice came from outside the temple, "The Heavenly Dao is vast and boundless. Cultivate my Dao Body and live for eternity." The voice was very orderly. Although it was not loud, it still made people's hearts tremble when they heard it.

Zhao Gao was stunned. He had intended to cry out and beg for mercy, but when he heard the voice, he felt it was a little familiar. He couldn't help but stop. When he turned around to look, he found that the person who had shouted had silently walked in from outside. His figure was light and ethereal, as if he was a god.

Xiao San originally wanted to shout to stop the man, but when he saw the face of the man, he couldn't help but be shocked. Although the man wore a Taoist robe and tied up his hair into a bun, he had the appearance of an immortal cultivator.

Free and Unrestrained people were surprised. They wanted to report everything to Tai Pao and inform him that the Duke of Qin, Ying Zheng, was about to be captured and hid behind the clay statue. However, just as he opened his mouth, Tai Lao gave him a meaningful glance, indicating that he should leave as soon as possible. He continued to drag out his voice as he spoke, "This scholar has a black aura rising from his forehead. He must have encountered a disaster in the near future. As he said this, he flicked his fingers, and a cloth order appeared in his hand.
