Li Zhao thought.
In other words, there may be someone behind Zhao Gao. Li Zhao hadn't seen Zhao Gao for a long time since he was appreciated by Qin Shihuang. Later he learned that Zhao Gao had gone to get elixirs for Qin Shihuang. Now that he thinks about it, it doesn't seem that simple. The process of getting elixirs is the most prone to accidents. process, this does not prevent someone from contacting Zhao Gao during this period.
The time traveler knows that Qin Shihuang died in the sand dunes, and also knows that Zhao Gao has tampered with the will. Then will the time traveler find Zhao Gao and make a promise?
Zhao Gao in history was ambitious, otherwise he would not have become the order of the CRRC from an eunuch with his own efforts, let alone gain the trust of Qin Shihuang, or even become Hu Hai's teacher.
If his ambition is instigated by a thoughtful person, things may change.
Moreover, there was a gap between him and the Meng family, and he knew that after the death of Qin Shihuang, Fusu would definitely succeed him. After Fusu succeeded, Meng Tian would naturally become a high-ranking and powerful person. By then, his status would not be guaranteed. There may even be life-threatening consequences. He is not a dull man, you can see that.
This is not the main thing. The main thing is that he hates Meng Yi and the Meng family.
To take a step back, if all this is arbitrary, that is to say, there is no intervention of time-travelling people, but Zhao Gao has the ability to predict the future, he could not have predicted that the emperor would die in the sand dunes. What about Xianyang? Then he would be dead.
This doesn't make sense.
Therefore, Li Zhao particularly suspected that Zhao Gao had hooked up with the time traveler, and might even have convinced Li Si and Wang Ben in the name of Haiyi's merits.
Thinking of this, the next moment, Li Zhao's expression changed in shock.
If Wang Bi and Zhao Gao colluded, did they also have contact with Zhang Liang?
If this is the case, then one thing makes sense. Wang Ben was ordered to kill the thieves, but the thieves fled after just one round of fighting. They even sent people to search for three days but could not find them. If there is no trick here, it is impossible.
Wang Ben was a man with rich combat experience, so how could he not find anyone to escape? Unless it was his problem or someone intervened in his search.
Or maybe the fleeing bandits were picked up by people from their own side.
These are full of doubts. Did Qin Shihuang find any clues?
Li Zhao thought it was not easy. He was a reborn person and could only make such a judgment if he understood history. But it was hard to say whether Qin Shi would think this way.
At least, he would not doubt Zhao Gao.
Li Zhao was helpless. He tried every means to change history, but history did not change according to his ideas!
At this moment, his first thought was to escape as far as he could.
However, when he calmed down and thought about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. If their plan really succeeded, then Qin II would be a puppet. With the abilities he had shown, the time traveler would never let him go, even if he fled to the ends of the earth.
Even if the time traveler looked down on him, Li Si would not let him go, even if he had to escape to the ends of the earth.
Therefore, running away is not the best option.
The only way is not to allow this to happen. Even if Qin Shihuang dies, Zhao Gao cannot be allowed to tamper with the will. Fusu must succeed to the throne, and he has a chance to survive.
"You didn't just come to me today to ask about firecrackers and ammunition, right?" Li Zhao composed himself and tried his best to calm down.
"Brother Li is too worried. Brother, I just came to you to ask about the powder. I have no other intentions." Wang Ben returned to his normal state, as if there was no grudge between the two of them just now.
There was also a hint of clarity between his brows.
"That's good. In fact, the powder required for this device is called gunpowder. Gunpowder is extremely rare. It is difficult to supply it on a large scale."
Judging from the current situation, there are too few raw materials for making gunpowder. The ones he made were obtained after many searches, and the quantities were not large. Of course, this was only the case when no mine was found. If If you find sulfur ore and saltpeter ore, the situation will be different.
"Gunpowder?" Wang Ben couldn't help but be stunned when he heard a relatively new word. "How did you get this gunpowder?" He showed great interest.
Of course Li Zhao would not say how to configure the gunpowder. After all, this person was already connected with Zhao Gao.
Li Zhao looked at Wang Ben deeply and said pointedly: "This is it! Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later."
Wang Ben didn't know that this was Li Zhao's excuse. Although he was disappointed, he had nothing to do.
"Brother Li, you and I are both serving the court. If the court needs it, I hope you can part with me. I'm sorry for disturbing you today. Let's meet again another day." Wang Ben saw that he could not get gunpowder from Li Zhao, so he stopped staying. But when he left, he turned his head strangely and said, "Brother Li, you will soon give up!"
"After all, this is what the military craves."
Li Zhao understood the meaning of this, which meant that when Qin Shihuang died soon, it would be up to him whether to take it out or not.
"Thank you for the reminder, General!" Li Zhao handed over his hand, "I will take it out when the time comes, maybe soon, maybe it will be a long time, but if you are stubborn, you will never see this day come."
Yes, after Qin II succeeded to the throne, many of the heroes of the previous dynasty were eradicated. Although there are not many records in history about Wang Ben after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, judging from the escape of the Wang family, it is certain that he will not end well.
"Am I stubborn? Brother Li seems to have misunderstood me. I'm just a stupid person." These words are somewhat intriguing, but they do not hinder Li Zhao's interpretation.
"He is indeed an old fritter!"
Wang Ben's words were obvious. He claimed to be a stupid person, which meant that he couldn't see through anything. Naturally, he didn't know what Zhao Gao was going to do. Even if something happened, it had nothing to do with him. Perhaps this is what history has said about him turning a blind eye, and it is precisely this that led to the Dune Coup.
"General." Li Zhao bowed to Wang Ben again, which was a sign of respect for the historical celebrities, and then said with profound meaning, "Listen to my advice, do your duty as a minister, and don't make mistakes. Mistake."
Wang Ben turned around, took a deep look at Li Zhao, spread his hands and said, "Brother Li, I don't understand what you are talking about."
"I still have important things to do, so I'll take my leave."
He turned and left.
Li Zhao refused to give in, "You know, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Wang Li!"
"You must have heard the saying, 'When the First Emperor dies, the world will be divided.' If that day comes, how many days will Wang Li be able to live in peace even if he accepts General Meng Tian's military power? Don't forget the bandits that have appeared these days. Do you think they are ordinary thieves?"
When Wang Ben heard these words, his body couldn't help but stagnate, but he quickly left.
Looking at Wang Ben's retreating back, Li Zhao smiled bitterly and murmured: "First Emperor, this is all I can do to help you. Of course, I will also intercept the will and never let it reach Fusu's hands. .”
"If something unexpected happens to you, please pray that Fusu will be safe and sound in heaven!"
