Through Time Chapter 365

On top of the giant boat, the guard was tight, and Zhao Gao and Li Si stood slightly nervous at the side of the boat, watching the small boat in the distance.

For the prince was about to board the boat.

As he watched the boat approaching, Li Si’s heart grew more and more uneasy.

He always felt that there was something wrong behind this matter.

Suddenly he thought of something and asked Zhao Gao, who was at his side.

“Where did His Majesty’s Black Ice Guards go?”

Zhao Gao gave the other man a look and returned that

“They died in battle that night long ago, and the Black Ice Guards could not protect His Majesty, nor would they live alone.”

“Even if someone had escaped, in this life, they would never have appeared in the world. ”

Reese nodded reluctantly, but the unease in his heart did not abate.

Looking at the approaching boats, Reese frowned and spoke again, saying

“Do you remember what Gongzi Lang said at the beginning?”

“He said that if something happened to His Majesty, we would make Duke Hu Hai the Emperor as a puppet.”

Hearing these words, Zhao Gao’s face sank and he said that

“Of course I remember, if it wasn’t for Gongzi Lang, I might not have thought of it so quickly.”

“Moreover, didn’t His Majesty already have a defence against us at that time? Including your position as the head of the Dharma family, His Majesty also hinted at you, right?”

Li Si was silent, for indeed he was, and soon spoke with a little dryness, saying

“Aren’t you afraid that this is His Majesty’s backhand?”

Zhao Gao froze for a moment, and then said that

“His Majesty, no matter how powerful he is, cannot possibly control the remaining members of the Six Kingdoms to attack himself!”

“How long has it been since Duke Long had contact with them, though?”

“Don’t you forget that Gong Zi Lang has killed many people from the Six Kingdoms, so how could they possibly unite?”

This question was actually something he had thought about himself.

But no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible.

And the attack had happened so suddenly that it was impossible to predict.

Rees also froze for a moment. Indeed, this didn’t make sense.

The First Emperor of Qin and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms had joined forces to trap them?

It didn’t make sense!

But in his mind, the figure of Zhao Lang always loomed large.

These are things that ordinary people certainly cannot do.

It was possible to control nearly two counties in just over a year’s time!

Take down the head of a farming family.

Can a man who is also looked up to by the military and Confucian families be an ordinary man?

Thinking of this, Li Si quickly said that

“Today’s meeting with Duke Hu Hai is also just a sounding out; the matter of establishing an emperor should never be taken so lightly.”

Zhao Gao could only nod, this was something that both of them had to agree on.

This was the only way to take control of the imperial court, and even if he wanted to take power on his own, he had to get a firm foothold first.

Soon, a small boat arrived at the heels of the giant boat.

The two men said no more.

“Teacher! Chancellor!”

Hu Hai ran towards the two men, as soon as they boarded the ship.

“Where is the Father?”

Zhao Gao and Li Si looked at each other and greeted them towards Hu Hai.

Then in a low voice, they said.

“Please come with us, Your Majesty.”

Faced with the sudden low voice of the two men, Hu Hai did not notice anything unusual, he now only wanted to see his father first.

Soon, several people entered the interior of the giant boat.

But no one noticed.

A few people suddenly emerged from beneath the surface of the giant boat and then began to climb it.

But the edge of the giant boat was, so to speak, one step away.

There was absolutely no clearance for several people to get on board.

Nor did the men seem to have any intention of avoiding these guards.

Before boarding the boat, they took a token and bit it in their mouths, then appeared directly in front of the guards.

A gesture of silence was made to them.

The guards were about to shout when they saw the man who had appeared brightly in front of them, but after seeing the token in the other man’s hand.

But immediately stopped.

Those on board, apart from the original sailors, were all close guards of the First Emperor, under the control of Zhao Gao.

But they still recognised the Black Ice Guard’s token.

Although they were under Zhao Gao’s control, their allegiance was of course to the First Emperor.

The Black Ice Guards, that is, the representatives of the First Emperor!

Most of them kept extremely silent by tacit agreement.

But there were still those who, out of instinct, issued a warning.

Soon afterwards, Zhao Gao came out with a grim face and

“What is it!?”

What he had to do now could not be faulted in the slightest.

The lead close guard quickly returned and

“Chief, nothing is wrong, a brother just saw the floating corpse as someone approaching.”

Hearing this, Zhao Gao waved his hand with some annoyance at once, and

“Didn’t I already tell you guys to go push those corpses away?”

In that previous battle, quite a few people had died on both sides.

The whole surface of the water was covered with corpses, and now it was early summer and the weather was getting hot.

Corpses not cleaned up can cause epidemics.

Folk have been recruited to clean up, just not as quickly.

The leader of the close guard nodded back and

“The men are already being arranged, it’s just that there will be some rumbling when the bodies are cleared later.”

Zhao Gao frowned and said.

“Well, if nothing happens next, don’t show the alarm.”

The close guard naturally said yes, and only then did Zhao Gao return to the giant boat with a grim face.

Only once Zhao Gao had left did the few Black Ice Guards next to him come out and give instructions to the close guards.

The guards then directed the small boats around the huge boat, towards the shore, which Zhao Gao kept under his control in order to control the personnel.

And by now, a group of soldiers had gathered on the shore.

The small boats started to move, causing a commotion.

Inside the giant boat, Li Si looked at Zhao Gao as he walked in and asked

“What is the commotion?”

Zhao Gao waved his hand and returned and

“No matter, it’s cleaning up the floating corpses.”

Then he sat down, gave a smile, and said to Hu Hai, who had stepped aside, that

“My lord Hu Hai is frightened.”

Hu Hai had by this time vaguely sensed that something was wrong and asked that

“Teacher, Prime Minister, where is my father?”

Zhao Gao and Li Si looked at each other one more time before speaking to

“Duke Hu Hai, in fact, His Majesty has been injured! He has not seen any improvement in the past few days, which is why we summoned you on board.”

“What!”

Hu Hai shrieked outright, and with a bit of panic said that

“How is this supposed to work?!”

“My lord, don’t be alarmed!”

Zhao Gao hurriedly said, and the two of them managed to calm down Hu Hai.

Only then did they go on to say that

“We just want to be on guard just in case, I just wonder what your plans are, Your Excellency?”

“Plans?”

There was some confusion in Hu Hai’s eyes, he certainly understood what the two men meant.

It was just that he had his heart set on that position.

But to be honest, he hadn’t really thought about what he would do once he was in that position.

Of course, he certainly remembered to eat, drink and be merry.

But you can’t say that now, can you?

But soon, looking at Zhao Gao and Li Si beside him, Hu Hai’s mind moved to say that

“This prince is still young, so naturally, he will listen to both of you.”

Zhao Gao and Li Si both looked slightly moved, the future emperor of the Great Qin, both listening to them, seemed extremely good.

At this point Hu Hai continued to say that

“Moreover, this emperor has another great talent to choose from, who will surely be able to help us!”

Hearing these words, the two men looked at each other.

They did not know, however, that Hu Hai actually had his own staff, and at once asked, in unison

“Who is it?”

Hu Hai spoke with confidence, and

“It’s Lang… No, it’s the great general of Yunzhong County who is accompanying him, Zhao Lang!”

Before Hu Hai’s words left his mouth, the two men at the side were already stunned.

There was only one thought in their minds.

“How come we still can’t get around him.”
