Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

Chapter 140: Zhao Gao gets rejected by a cold shoulder.

"So it's you, Lord Zhao."

"Ahahaha, I don't deserve it."

Zhao Gao smiled and said, "I am no longer Lord Zhao now."

Hu Hai was silent.

He is not the Eighteenth Young Master anymore.

Although my father has not yet announced his identity, nor has he revoked his title.

But he didn't even have his own palace.

And was thrown into this mine.

What’s the difference between him and those who were demoted to commoners?

At this time, Hu Hai did not know that Ying Zheng had already issued an edict to completely demote him to a commoner.

In this thatched hut full of strangers, Hu Hai was only a little familiar with Zhao Gao.

He couldn't help but move closer, "How do you eat here?"

"When is dinner? Where do we eat?"

He hasn't eaten for a day.

I didn’t feel it when I was asleep before, but now I just feel my stomach is very hungry.

Zhao Gao said, "We have already eaten."

"Just now, when I got off work, I ate and went back to the straw hut to sleep."

what?

have already eaten?

Hu Hai was dumbfounded, "What should I do?"

"Why didn't anyone tell me? I haven't eaten yet!"

Having said that, he stood up immediately.

"Where did you eat? I'll go look for it!"

He had to see if there was any food left for him.

Seeing that Hu Hai was about to run away, Zhao Gao quickly grabbed him.

"Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Eighteen, don't go, don't go!"

"When we came back, the food had already been distributed and the stall had closed."

"If you don't go to eat after a while, you won't have any food to eat."

what?

No, meal, yet?!

"Then what should I do? I haven't eaten yet!"

Hu Hai immediately gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't eaten for a whole day."

There was a subtle sense of grievance in his tone.

My mother is dead.

There were no more palace maids around him.

The palace where I grew up is gone.

Father...Father is no longer his father.

His father threw him here and never even saw him.

My father knew he was outside the hall.

But my father didn't send anyone to call him and refused to see him.

Now he has been hungry all day and has no food to eat.

He is so pitiful.

Hu Hai's eyes were slightly red.

Zhao Gao took out a small cloth bag from his bosom.

Pour a small handful of cooked and dried corn out of the bag.

Most of them are still in shell.

Zhao Gao said, "Mr. Eighteen, these are for you. Take them to fill your stomach first."

Zhao Gao still felt a little pain.

This was money he had saved up with great difficulty.

Each grain was squeezed out from between the teeth.

“What…what is this?”

Hu Hai had never seen this thing.

He frowned in disdain.

"This is corn. It's edible."

Zhao Gao reluctantly stuffed all the millet in his hand into Hu Hai's hands.

"Eat quickly. If you don't, I have nothing else."

this........

Hu Hai looked down at what he had in his hand.

He lowered his head and sniffed it.

"Hey... can I eat this?"

There was a sour smell mixed with the smell of sweat.

Are you sure you won’t get diarrhea after eating this?

Seeing him being so ungrateful, Zhao Gao felt uncomfortable.

He was kind-hearted and gave him the food he had stored.

He actually doubted and despised it?

"If you don't want to eat it, give it back to me!"

Seeing that Zhao Gao was not in a good mood, Hu Hai threw the thing in his hand at Zhao Gao.

"I'll give it back to you! I'm too lazy to eat it!"

"Who wants to eat your rotten and smelly stuff?! Humph!"

After saying that, Hu Hai turned around and ran out of the hut.

He wants to find Feng Quji.

My father would definitely not tell his life story to a minister.

As long as in Feng Quji's eyes, he is still his father's child.

He didn't dare starve him to death.

And Fusu also said it when they were at the palace gate before.

He must ask Feng Quji to ensure that he stays alive.

If Feng Quji didn't give him food, he would starve to death.

See how he explains to Fusu and his father!

Zhao Gao's face was gloomy.

Grains of corn were scattered on the ground under his feet.

This made Zhao Gao, who originally wanted to be on good terms with Hu Hai, very angry.

And Hu Hai's attitude towards him made him think.

Didn't Jian San tell Hu Hai and Hu Ji about what they discussed?

Otherwise, why would Hu Hai be so disrespectful to him?

Thinking of Jian San’s sudden disappearance last night.

And there was that dark shadow that flashed by.

A terrible thought began to emerge in Zhao Gao's mind!

The strong men who had not fallen asleep yet were watching the conversation and tug-of-war between Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.

I listened to it all.

One of the men said, "You are just trying to please a cold shoulder, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

Although they disliked Zhao Gao, they would not make things difficult for him on a daily basis.

Moreover, Lord Feng had ordered them to keep a close eye on Zhao Gao.

Keep a close eye on it.

Report his every move at any time.

The others didn't say anything and closed their eyes and went to sleep.

After a day's work, I'm exhausted.

They don't have the extra time and energy to watch other people's fun.

If you have this free time, you might as well sleep for half an hour longer.

Zhao Gao didn't dare to refute anything, but just glanced at the person who spoke with a vicious look.

The man had already turned his back to sleep, and there were still seven or eight people between him and Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao withdrew his gaze, squatted down, and silently picked up the millet scattered on the ground.

Pick them up one by one and blow away the dust.

Stuff it back into the small cloth bag and keep it close to your body.

Then he lay down and closed his eyes.

But the occasional movement of his eyeballs beneath his eyelids revealed his inner unrest.

He doesn't understand.

If Your Majesty really knew about the conspiracy between him and Jian San.

Why did you just take Jian San away and leave him behind?

And the Eighteenth Prince Hu Hai......

Why did you come here suddenly?

Was it Your Majesty who sent him here?

why?

Did he know that he was planning to instigate Hu Hai, frame Fusu, and seek the position of crown prince?

That’s not right either.

If His Majesty really knew all this, he would not be able to stay here peacefully.

I don’t know what happened to Jian San?

Should we find an opportunity to ask Hu Hai indirectly?

See if you can get some information out of him?

..........

Hu Hai on the other side.

After running for quite a while, I still couldn't find Feng Quji.

He even saw the place where they ate.

I finally saw the guard who followed Feng Quji during the day.

He ran over quickly, "Hey there! Stop right there!"

The guard was stunned and turned to look.

Seeing it was Hu Hai, he frowned and asked, "You called me?"

"Yes! Where are your parents?"

Hu Hai looked behind him but did not see Feng Quji.

The guard said, "What do you want to see my lord for? I can convey your message to you."
