Chapter 55
Liu Ji's return to Daqin not only touched Zhao Shi, but also made Jiangdong Xiang's panic.

Ever since he found out about Liu Ji's return to Daqin, Uncle Xiang couldn't sleep for several days.Originally, Jiangdong was not Fusu's opponent, this time he was defeated by Wang Li and Meng Tian's 20 troops, if Fusu had more tens of thousands of Liu Ji's troops, then Jiangdong would never have peace.

After fighting against Meng Tian's army frequently during this period, Uncle Xiang was exhausted and lost the pride he had when he raised his army, and the news of Liu Ji's return to the Great Qin made Uncle Xiang feel exhausted both physically and mentally.

Besides, Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang have been going straight to Changsha County since they returned to the border of Jiangdong. Together with Wangli and Yingbu's [-] troops, they are in the Chu Mountain between Peng Lize (Poyang Lake) and Yunmengze (the predecessor of Dongting Lake). There was a fierce battle between Xiangshui, and the Qin army didn't get too much money for a while.

Because most of the Jiangdong Army led by Xiang Yu had soldiers from Changsha County, the Jiangdong Army gained a bit of advantage in local combat. Therefore, the combat power of the Jiangdong Army has increased a lot, and the Qin Army was forced to stop its offensive.

Facing the Jiangdong Army whose combat power has been greatly improved, Wang Li and Yingbo's [-] troops were unable to break through the Jiangdong Army's defense line for a while, so they had to suspend their offensive. For a while, the battle in Changsha County fell into a stalemate.

When the Xiang family in Jiangdong was struggling to deal with the Qin army, Hu Hai, who was far away in Donghai County, also knew the news that Liu Ji had returned to Fusu.

Huhai Palace in Donghai County.

Hu Hai was discussing with Zhao Gao about Liu Ji's surrender to Fusu with a sad face:
"Prime Minister Zhao, why don't we surrender too?" Hu Hai said to Zhao Gao sadly.

"Your Majesty, we are different from that Liu Ji. You are the emperor of our Great Qin, and Fusu is your subject. How can there be an emperor in this world who asks his subjects to surrender?"

"Prime Minister Zhao, but I am really afraid of my elder brother. Look at this world, who else is my elder brother's opponent? Now that Liu Ji has surrendered my elder brother, the four counties of Yingchuan, Dang, Chen, and Surabaya have all died. It belongs to my eldest brother, this Sishui County is on the edge of our Donghai County, how can I not be afraid? Why don't we surrender?"

Hearing Hu Hai's intention to surrender to Fusu, Zhao Gao's face darkened, and he had already begun to hate Hu Hai in his heart.

The reason why Zhao Gao didn't want Hu Hai to surrender to Fusu was actually because he was afraid that Fusu would execute him after he surrendered.After all, Hu Hai is Fusu's brother, maybe he still has a chance, but what about himself?From Fusu's release of the "Call to Zhao Gao and Hu Hai", Zhao Gao knew that there was no room for maneuver between himself and Fusu.

Now that Zhao Gao saw that Hu Hai had plans to return to Fusu, he was already wary of Hu Hai.

Eunuchs like Zhao Gao have never given their true loyalty to anyone easily. Their degree of loyalty is determined based on the rights and sense of security given to them by their master.

When Zhao Gao heard Hu Hai's suggestion to return to Fusu, he immediately felt that his safety was threatened, so his loyalty to Hu Hai fell to the bottom. Zhao Gao even had a hint of getting rid of Hu Hai in his heart. malicious.

After a period of time, Zhao Gao would hear Hu Hai confiding in him every few days his intention to surrender to Fusu, and Zhao Gao's dissatisfaction with Hu Hai gradually changed with Hu Hai's intention to surrender to Fusu, and began to turn towards killing intent.

Just when Zhao Gaomeng had the malicious intent to get rid of Hu Hai, a major event happened in Sihui City, South Vietnam.

Bewitched by a group of officials, Zhao Shi finally decided to send someone to contact Fusu.

On this day, Jia Heng approached Han Chuan and handed a letter from Zhao Shi to Han Chuan.

When Jia Heng left Han Chuan, he was followed by a group of South Vietnamese soldiers pretending to be ordinary people.When Jia Heng walked to a remote place, he was beaten unconscious by these people, and then he was hijacked into a secret room by these people.

Half an hour later, Jia Heng woke up leisurely, only to find himself in a room used to extract confessions by torture.

"Who are you, why did you bind me here?"

After seeing his situation clearly, Jia Heng asked timidly.

"You don't have to know who we are, you just need to know that we are from South Vietnam."

The leading strong man looked at Jia Heng and said forcefully.

Until now, Jia Heng's mentality gradually calmed down, and he began to think about the things in front of him:

"I was sent by Shizi to contact Han Chuan. It stands to reason that these people should not have been sent by Shizi. If these people were not sent by Shizi, who would they be? Besides Shizi, who else would it be? "

After a while, Jia Heng thought of an extremely terrifying possibility.

"Are you sent by the king?"

Jia Heng looked at the person who kidnapped him and asked.

"Shut up, I'll kill you if you ask any more questions." The strong man at the head said viciously.

The moment the strong man opened his mouth, Jia Heng keenly caught the slight tremor of the strong man's body headed in front of him.

In view of this, Jia Heng has already determined that his guess is correct.

Jia Heng's brain was working quickly: "Qin is powerful, and Nanyue is definitely not an opponent. If Qin wins, he will have the opportunity to become a figure who can lead the four counties of Nanyue. According to Fusu's behavior style, Qin will be wiped out. South Vietnam is only a matter of time, and it won’t be long before I will have a prominent position in South Vietnam. However, the situation is stronger than others, and now I have fallen into the hands of Zhao Tuo’s spies. I am afraid that there will be bad luck. It seems that I can only find a way to delay.”

After some planning, Jia Heng decided to pretend to be stupid.

"Hero, I don't know what you're talking about."

"We have found the evidence that you have liaison with Qin State, do you still want to deny it?"

The leading man said angrily.

"Since you have found the evidence, leave it to the king. Why do you press me again?"

Seeing Jia Heng put on a confident look, the strong man headed by him instantly became furious.

"It seems that you won't recruit if you don't get a big punishment?"

The strong man said and waved to the two followers behind him.

I saw two attendants walking quickly to Jia Heng's side, setting up Jia Heng and walking towards the torture tools.

A moment later, Jia Heng's screams came from the torture device.
