Zhangtai Palace.

"I have been merciful enough to him. He has tried to assassinate me several times, but I could forgive him. I didn't expect that he would secretly communicate with the envoys of the six countries, trying to form an alliance to fight against our Qin!" Ying Zheng was filled with righteous indignation and confided to Su Xuan with an indignant look, "He is now in charge of the seals of four countries. If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid he would have ruined our Qin's plan to unify the world!"

"He doesn't want to enjoy his old age and wants to die. I have no choice but to help him." Ying Zheng's face turned cold and he waved his hand to call Zhao Gao over. "I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to get this done." Zhao Gao acted loyally, with his face lowered and a cold light flashing in his narrow eyes.

He has always kept his ambition deep in his heart and firmly believed that it would come true sooner or later.

He was born in the Qin Palace and had been a eunuch since childhood. Because he had no money and power, he suffered unimaginable bullying from others. At that time, he secretly vowed that he would reach the top step by step, he wanted to be Zhao Gao!

In order to climb up step by step, he tried to please Ying Zheng. After knowing that Ying Zheng preferred the Legalist culture, he secretly learned a lot of legal knowledge. He was more serious and responsible in his daily work and worked diligently. God rewards those who work hard. He seized the opportunity and was appreciated by Ying Zheng. From a small eunuch, he gained Ying Zheng's trust step by step and became the Minister of the Chariots by his side.

After becoming the Minister of the Imperial Chariots, he worked even harder. As Ying Zheng's power had fallen into other people's hands, and due to his special status as a eunuch, he was gradually trusted by Ying Zheng and got the opportunity to assist Prince Hu Hai.

Just when he thought everything was going as he expected, Su Xuan arrived. Ying Zheng respected him as a teacher and treated him with the courtesy of a state scholar. He believed in everything he said without a doubt. This kind of treatment was something he had never received in all the years he had served Ying Zheng respectfully.

This made him jealous, but he did not think about dealing with Su Xuan until Su Xuan took away the net that he was determined to get.

He began to plan in his heart how to eliminate him, because he was blocking his way. With him blocking his way, he would never be able to become Zhao Gao!

Similarly, he also knew the difference in status between them and knew how fierce Su Xuan's methods were, so he concealed everything without any flaws.

He was very patient. As a close minister to Ying Zheng, no one could deal with him as long as he didn't make any mistakes.

But Su Xuan is different. The more power he holds, the easier it is for him to be targeted and the easier it is for him to make mistakes. Once he makes an irreparable mistake, that will be the time for him to eliminate Su Xuan.

We have endured for more than ten years, so what does it matter if we wait a little longer?

After receiving the task, he left quickly, and Su Xuan looked at his departing back, seeming to be lost in thought.

"Your Majesty, although Lu Buwei has resigned from his post, he still has many followers under his command, many of whom are skilled in martial arts. Now that he has decided to rebel against Qin, he will definitely not surrender." Su Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Sir, you don't know." Ying Zheng smiled slightly. "Although Zhao Gao is just an eunuch, his martial arts skills are only half as good as Mr. Gai Nie. In addition, the palace has also trained many eunuchs with high martial arts skills. It should not be a problem to deal with the retainers under Lu Buwei."

"And what you said, sir, is indeed worthy of attention." Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, as if thinking about who would be the most appropriate person to send to accompany him.

"It just so happens that I control Luowang. Your Majesty, why don't you use Luowang as a safety net? I can also test the loyalty of Luowang's people." Su Xuan made a suggestion, and then said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Sir, if you want to go, then that's fine." At this point, Ying Zheng held his hand and said, "Just remember to pay attention to your own safety."

Su Xuan felt warm inside and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

......

In a mansion in Liyang, Lu Buwei was making arrangements to leave the State of Qin.

He thought he had done things covertly enough, but he didn't know that after losing power, his network of interests had already fallen apart.

Some people betrayed him and gained benefits from it, and his plans were leaked as a result.

"My Lord Prime Minister, it's been a long time." Zhao Gao didn't give Lu Buwei any face and rushed in with his men. He narrowed his narrow eyes and revealed a sinister smile.

"Zhao Gao, you broke into my house and violated the Qin law." Lü Buwei's face darkened. "Even if I retire, I cannot be bullied by a eunuch like you."

"Get out of my house." He glared at Zhao Gao. Even though he had stepped down as prime minister, his long-term power still made him look quite imposing.

Zhao Gao was not polite at all and retorted, "Mr. Xiangbang, don't you know that once you lose power, you are worse than a dog?"

He sneered, "We call you Lord Xiangbang to give you face. If we don't give you face, you are just an old man who is about to die."

"We are here today on the orders of the king to give the Prime Minister beautiful women and fine wine." He gestured to his men, and someone immediately walked out with a wine jug, "Prime Minister, please."

"Want to kill me? You are not qualified!" Lu Buwei seemed to have expected this. He sneered and retreated while shouting, "Go!"

As a prime minister who has held power for more than ten years, how could he not have a group of loyal followers? Even if he lost power one day and most of his followers left him, the remaining people were still a force that should not be underestimated.

A rain of arrows poured down from the sky, shooting towards Zhao Gao and his group.

Zhao Gao moved quickly and appeared outside the attack range before the rain of arrows fell. He then charged towards Lu Buwei with sword in hand.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

Su Xuan stood on the top of a paulownia tree, holding a telescope, and had a clear understanding of the entire battle situation.

Dozens of first-class killers were hiding here. As long as they were not executing any Luowang killers, they were all called over by him.

The main thing is to be safe.

Xuan Jian looked at the telescope in Su Xuan's hand with curiosity. He did not ask any questions rashly, but stood guard respectfully by the side.

After waiting for half an hour, when the sounds of killing gradually died down, Su Xuan led a group of Luowang killers in to clean up the mess.

It has to be said that Zhao Gao's strength was indeed amazing. He brought a group of eunuchs and almost broke through Lu Buwei's defensive force.

Although the situation is in a state of stalemate, Su Xuan believes that Zhao Gao can complete the task even if he does not take action.

But he has always been kind-hearted, so how could he sit idly by and watch his colleagues fighting each other?

So he joined the battle in time, and the web killers surrounded them from all directions.

"Mr. Xiangguo, killing is an evil act." Su Xuan walked out of the crowd and took a look at the tragic scene. "It would be fine if you didn't stop them, but why did you indulge them?"

"These people died because of you. You have committed a heinous crime. Why don't you surrender?"
