The weak firelight shone in the long passage, which seemed particularly quiet. Several people wearing jailor uniforms slowly walked into the passage carrying a wooden bucket. On both sides of the passage were "two feet square and five feet high" "Single Room", this is the famous Tianjiao in Xianyang City, where all the felons of the imperial court are imprisoned.

The cell in the Sky Prison is not a big house like in TV movies, but a space where you can't even turn around after entering, and you can't even stand upright after entering. The jailer walked in while using The big spoon scooped out the unidentifiable food in the bucket to each person who was imprisoned in the sky prison. The people inside jumped at the food as they poured it into their own bowls placed in front of the thigh-thick wooden fence. They came up and grabbed the bowl in their hands, and then began to eat bit by bit with relish, as if they were eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. Because the only thing they could do in this dark cage all day long was to wait for death. , and only when eating will you temporarily forget about waiting to die.

The jailer continued to move forward, placing a bowl of food in each small cell. Now he had perfected his skills. It only took one step for the spoon to scoop up the food from the bucket to put it into the other person's bowl. , so that he could distribute the food as quickly as possible. There was only the footsteps of the jailer in front of the long corridor, but behind him there was a sound of sucking something, and his brows began to frown. If he stayed in such a place for even a short time, he would feel his scalp tingling and want to escape immediately.

Finally he came to the deepest part of the corridor. The single room here was obviously much better than the one outside. Not only was it one foot square, it was also very dry and clean. There was even a little candlelight inside. He was reading a set of bamboo slips by candlelight. The jailer did not greet the man, but poured the contents of the spoon into the bowl, then turned and left. The only thing the prisoners held here have in common with other prisoners is probably food. .

Just when the jailer was about to leave the cell that made him feel suffocated, the door that had been only half open suddenly opened completely. The jailer looked in surprise, but he happened to see the warden with a respectful look in front of him. He led the way with a lantern, followed by a group of warriors with swords, and behind him was a man in gorgeous clothes. The jailer did not dare to take a closer look at the man's appearance, so he lowered his head and stepped aside.

"Sir Zhao, please be slow, the ground here is slippery, don't let you slip." The warden said diligently, eager to go up and help Zhao Gao who was following.

Zhao Gao looked at the corridor, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he still walked down.

Because of Zhao Gao's arrival, the lights in the sky prison were rarely bright. Everyone did not delay and went straight to the end of the corridor. The people in the other cells just glanced at them when they came in, and then focused all their attention on the cell. The food in the bowl disappeared. It didn't matter to them who came.

"You go out, I want to talk to Prime Minister Li and Mr. Li about something." After reaching the innermost part, Zhao Gao waved his hand to the warden. The warden nodded and bowed and retreated. The warriors were outside the cell. A thick mat was spread on the ground for Zhao Gao, and then he lit the lamp embedded in the wall, bowed to Zhao Gao, and retreated to the middle of the corridor.

"Tsk, tsk, Mr. Li didn't expect that you would live here one day." Zhao Gao looked at the cell and said. But Li Si didn't pay attention to him. Zhao Gao, who was bored, didn't take it at all and continued:

"But it seems that your conditions are not bad, and you still have books to read."

Li Si slowly put down the bamboo slips in his hand: "If you have something to say, just tell me. Li will have nothing to say if I fall into your hands."

"Master Li, I can't believe that your self-restraint has deteriorated a lot after just a few days in the prison." Zhao Gao seemed to be very satisfied with Li Si's attitude and laughed.

"Zhao Gao, what are your intentions in locking me up here but not killing me? And where did you take my family?" Li Si suddenly stared at Zhao Gao fiercely and asked loudly. It turned out that

Shortly after being imprisoned in the sky prison, Zhao Gao ordered people to take all of Li Si's family members out, leaving only Li Si behind.

Zhao Gao looked at Li Si's ferocious face and smiled softly: "Don't worry, I haven't harmed anyone in your Li family. At least they are all alive for now. But whether they can survive in the future depends on whether you are compatible or not."

Cooperated.”

Li Si closed his eyes tiredly and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

A proud smile appeared in Zhao Gao's eyes, and his plan was successful. He knew that locking Li Si in this place without external interference to kill his will was successful. He looked at Li Si and said: "It's very simple, as long as

You promised to cooperate with us and summon your confidants from all over the country to Xianyang. At the same time, you also gave me the list of some secret personnel after you were the prime minister in Xianyang over the years, so that I can guarantee the lives of you and your family.

We can all be saved." In fact, Zhao Gao no longer pays attention to Li Si's people in other counties, because there are constant rebellions and thieves everywhere, and he can't control it. But Xianyang is different. If Fusu suddenly arrives with troops

, he was afraid that Li Si's people would become Fusu's internal agents. But of course he would not tell Li Si that the court was already in danger, so he asked for two things.

"Do you think I, Li Si, am really a stupid person? I will listen to you? I'm afraid that as soon as I tell you the list, the lives of my whole family, young and old, will be ruined in your hands." Li Si looked at Zhao Gao with contempt.

He glanced at it and closed his eyes again.

"Okay, I didn't expect that you are still so shrewd today." Zhao Gao waved his sleeves and said, "Then don't blame me for being polite before fighting. I only give you eighty-two days, and every day I will find someone to ask you, as long as you don't

Answer, every day I will kill someone from the prime minister's house until I kill them all. From tomorrow on, she will be a girl in your house, and someone will naturally bring her head to you."

After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Then some warriors came over to move the things away, and at the same time extinguished the fire, and the corridor fell into darkness again...

Li Heng watched Fusu leave Shangjun City with an army of 20,000 people, with an expression on his face that was both ashamed and a little proud. He looked around and said, "Everyone should guard the city well. Now the prince is leading troops to put down the rebellion."

Now, we must guard the rear for the sake of the prince."

All the soldiers hurriedly responded in unison. Li Heng nodded with satisfaction and drove his horse back to his residence.

"How is it? Has Fusu left the city already?" As soon as he entered the house, a man dressed as a servant came over and asked, without any consciousness of being a servant.

Li Heng nodded: "Zhao Hu, you go immediately and notify the people ambushing in the city. At the second watch, we will take action together and quickly capture a few important places, so that the upper county city will fall into our hands."

"Who else is guarding the city now besides you? Do you need us to send someone to kill him first?" Zhao Hu asked.

"The other person guarding the city is the new Chen Ping. He has just arrived in Shangjun not long ago, so he will not pose any threat to us. We don't have to rush to get rid of him. If we kill him and scare the snake, the gain will outweigh the loss. You

Don’t worry about anything else, I’ve already arranged everything.” Li Heng said confidently.

"Okay, I'll go then." After Zhao Hu said that, he ducked and walked past Li Heng.

It was the second watch, and although winter was almost over, it was still bone-chillingly cold at night. There was no one on the street, not even the patrolling soldiers. Could it be that because Fusu left, the soldiers guarding the city became lax?

Suddenly, thousands of people appeared on the quiet street. Following the leader's whispered orders, they began to rush to several key places: the beacon tower at the top of the city, the camp where the army was stationed, and the residences of some officials and generals.

Their footsteps were very light, and they made only a slight noise in the quiet night, which did not alarm the people in the city.

After giving all these instructions, the leading man went straight to Li Heng's residence. When he arrived at Li Heng's door, he called softly: "It's me, Zhao Hu." The door opened silently, allowing only one person to enter and exit.

There was a gap, and he ducked in.

"How is it?" Li Heng looked at him nervously and asked.

"Everything is going according to our plan. You will be able to restore your original name of Zhao Heng soon and become the most important contributor to the rejuvenation of Zhao Dynasty." Zhao Hu said.

Li Heng showed a conflicted look and said, "Actually, Prince Fusu is not kind to me. Now that he thinks that I betrayed him, I really feel guilty."

"He is a prince. Don't forget that you are also a descendant of the royal family of Zhao. Qin and Zhao have always been feuding. If his Qin country hadn't destroyed our country, Zhao, would we be like this? So when it comes to debts, it is the people of Qin who owe us first.

Ours, we are just getting back what we deserve." Zhao Hu said plausibly.

Li Heng sighed and said: "Who calls me a member of Zhao? Now this is the only way."

"Now let's go and kill that guy named Chen Ping, as well as his close people in Fusu Hotel." Zhao Hu said with a fierce look on his face. As he spoke, he pulled out his saber with a clank and shouted:

"Someone's coming!"

Dozens of Zhao soldiers disguised as Li Heng's servants came out in response. They were all recruited by Li Heng into the mansion under various names. It was also because of Fusu's absolute trust that Li Heng was able to bring him into the mansion.

The people were replaced by Zhao people who came from a long distance.

"In my opinion, it's better to just drive these people out of Shangjun. Why must we kill them all?" Li Heng said.

"No, we can't leave any trouble." Zhao Hu said and led the people to open the door of the mansion and rush to Fusu's hotel nearby. At the same time, shouts of killing were heard from several places in the city. (Unfinished)
