Chapter Eighty-Eight: Heart to Heart
Liu Che didn't expect Zhao Feng to be so eager to know the elixir of life, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Lu Pheasant left very interestingly, leaving only the two to talk in detail.
After everyone left, Liu Che said.
"Why does Zhao Yanguan want to find the elixir of life?"
Liu Che looked at Zhao Feng vigilantly, although he was his benefactor, there were some secrets that could not be known casually.
Zhao Feng didn't think much about it, and took out the bronze sword that Qin Shi Huang gave him.
As soon as he saw the bronze sword, Liu Che immediately understood the meaning.
Cautiously glanced left and right, and said in a low voice.
"Officer Zhao, please come with me. ”
Liu Che quietly left the palace with Zhao Feng and walked towards the depths of the harem.
The two of them were careful not to be discovered by others all the way, and came to an extremely remote courtyard.
There is a dilapidated palace here, and the tiles on it have fallen off because of disrepair.
"This was originally a cold palace, but later I ordered the people to renovate it and discover some unknown secrets. ”
Liu Che led Zhao Feng into the palace, and in the southeast corner of the palace there was a row of bookshelves clinging to the wall.
Liu Che walked over to the bookshelf and moved one of the grids.
With a bang, the floor suddenly moved away to reveal a downward staircase.
"Your Majesty is here?"
"It is said that someone once rebuilt this place, and the women who were thrown into the cold palace could not bear the loneliness, so a room was built under it to facilitate the secretion of relatives. ”
Liu Che did not continue.
The capital of the Han Dynasty was Chang'an, and there were only a few generations of emperors from him, and the imperial palace of the Great Qin of the previous dynasty had long been destroyed.
This must have been left by a certain emperor in the Han Dynasty, as for who Liu Che didn't want to check and didn't dare to investigate, after all, it was a family ugly.
Zhao Feng didn't ask anything, and followed Liu Che down the stairs.
After a few steps, it was over, and inside was a small room, filled with all kinds of medicines and utensils, and a huge Dan furnace was steaming out in the middle.
Zhao Feng was marveling at the things in the room, only to see Liu Che walk aside and take out a piece of torn parchment from a book.
"This is the account I got about the elixir of life. ”
Liu Che did not hide it at all and handed the parchment to Zhao Feng, and Zhao Feng glanced at it and saw that it was full of unintelligible words, as if it was a bit like island language.
"Your Majesty, what is this word?"
"It is said to be an ancient saying, which was only circulated among a very small tribe in the south, and it was only later that the Qin unified the six kingdoms and expanded southward, and this tribe was discovered. ”
Liu Che took out an ancient book, which recorded in detail what happened when Qin Shi Huang expanded his territory after his unification.
One of them talks about what happened at that time.
The population of this tribe is small, but the language spoken is very different from today's Middle-earth culture.
At that time, Qin Shi Huang implemented the same track and the same text, and everyone had to agree to manage it according to the system of Great Qin.
In this way, foreign tribes naturally became the targets of purge.
It is said that hundreds of people were killed at that time, and the tribe was almost completely destroyed.
Later, the leader of the tribe chose to submit in order to preserve his people.
In the same year, Xu Fu crossed to the east to seek immortals, and selected a group of boys and girls from the tribe to go together, and then there was no news.
By the time Xu Fu came back again, the five hundred boys and girls had disappeared, and Xu Fu had only brought back the half of the parchment.
What happened in the middle of this, only Xu Fu and Qin Shi Huang knew.
......
Zhao Feng stroked his chin, he remembered that Qin Shi Huang once said that the bronze sword in his hand hid a clue that Xu Fu went to Penglai to seek immortals and came back.
Although Qin Shi Huang did not say it explicitly, Zhao Feng probably guessed.
The elixir did exist, but Xu Fu didn't get it at that time.
So he could only bring the clue back and hand it over to Qin Shi Huang, but at that time, Qin Shi Huang's limit was approaching, so in order to prevent the clue from falling into the hands of others, he buried this secret in his heart forever and brought it into the tomb.
And the parchment that Liu Che got was just a certain prescription recorded by Xu Fu at that time.
As for what this prescription does, no one knows.
Liu Che handed the parchment to Zhao Feng, carried a bucket of water to extinguish the still burning Dan furnace, and sighed deeply.
"I am obsessed with life and death, but I forget myself, I think I can return to my youth, but I almost hurt my relatives, this medicine is illusory, and immortality is also illusory. ”
After going through the ordeal, Liu Che seems to have figured out that he is dead in history.
Now it's just a stubborn soul who refuses to die, so why bother asking for immortality.
Turning around, pointing to the parchment in Zhao Feng's hand, he said solemnly.
"Officer Zhao, I don't know why you are looking for the elixir of life, but I warn you, don't be blinded by illusion. ”
Zhao Feng nodded solemnly, and then followed Liu Che out of the ground.
Before leaving, Liu Che ordered the guards to completely bury the underground room, like Qin Shi Huang, to hide all the secrets in his heart.
......
After returning to the palace, the two talked about the Empress Dowager Dou again.
Liu Che was determined to execute the Empress Dowager Dou and prevent the Dou clan from making a comeback.
But Zhao Feng had other thoughts, he wanted to know where the Dou clan came from, and what methods they used to ignore the laws to pass through the space.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Feng told Liu Che about his plan, and Liu Che's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed to his request.
......
After everything was dealt with, Zhao Feng was ready to leave with Lu Pheasant and the others.
Liu Bang is still waiting for news at home.
Although Liu Che wanted to leave a few people, but now that there was an undercurrent surging in Chang'an City, he still had a lot of things to deal with, so he had no choice but to say goodbye to a few people.
Before leaving, Liu Che handed over the rent owed to Zhao Feng, and at the same time gave him two boxes of gold utensils to express his gratitude.
Zhao Feng accepted it without hesitation, these were his hard-earned money, and he deserved it no matter how he said it.
Several people came to the boundary of the space, and Liu Che said goodbye to Lu Pheasant repeatedly.
Lu Pheasant also gave a few words of advice as if he were his own child, and then followed Zhao Feng into the golden gate.
After returning to his Dahan Palace, everything was like a dream.
Several people were about to go back to report today's results to Liu Bang, but as soon as they entered the door, they heard bursts of cries coming from the palace.
After a closer look, I found that Liu Bang and Liu Bei hugged each other and cried, their whole faces crying like pandas, and the clothes on their faces and shoulders were wet.
There were still many flasks scattered on the floor, all of which were empty.
Zhao Feng and Lu Pheasant glanced at each other, what happened during the time that a few of them went out?
Liu Bang, who was still disgusted before, was actually assimilated by Liu Bei, what the hell are these two doing?
Suddenly, Liu Bang seemed to sense that there was someone, and after a closer look, he found that it was Zhao Feng and the others who had returned, and hurriedly explained.
"Zhao Yanguan, let you see it, the two of us are in love with each other, and I really can't help it. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Feng didn't say anything, but Lu Pheasant's face on the side gradually darkened.
......
