19. Elixir and eternal life
Yuzuli, who looked much more nervous than Nangong, seemed to have been waiting outside the door for a long time, and of course, nervousness was only barely enough to describe Yuzuli's movements. From Nangong's point of view, even the sound of opening the door can startle Yuli, and this senior sister of her is probably already frightened.
But there's nothing strange about it, if it's the same as those who go in and out of high-end places all day long, contact celebrities, and talk about high-ranking officials, it's okay, but Yuzu pear because of her own bad luck restrictions, I'm afraid she hasn't had much contact with outsiders until now. This time, as a representative of her mother, I'm afraid the pressure on her is even greater.
"Senior sister, do you have any arrangements?"
Thinking of this, Nangong felt a lot more relaxed. This time, the two fox bodyguards beside Yuli did not follow, which also made Nangong forcibly bring some courage.
"No, not really!"
Yuzu looked left and right in a panic, and after hastily making sure that there were no suspicious guys around, she lowered her voice and said, "This, this time my mother and Sister Banqing will not come, which means that we will meet the other two chiefs as representatives of all parties." Brother, what do you think ......?"
"Let's go meet the eldest princess first."
Nangong thought about it and gave a plan that he thought was the most reasonable. In the message sent by Banqing before, it had already been explained that she had a bad relationship with the chief governor of the north and had a shallow relationship with the chief governor of the west.
Although it seems that going to meet the enemy first is a little bad in all senses, but in this big atmosphere, Nangong doesn't think that the other party will make any drastic moves. This kind of "star" in the monster world must play a real "idol" on the "stage" no matter what.
In contrast, if you go to the western governor, who has a shallow relationship with Banqing, you may not be able to provoke the conversation because you are at a loss, which is the worst. At the very least, you have to get used to the atmosphere when you communicate with the chiefs.
"Then we went to ask the Spirit Mirror to make some preparations for us, and then we went to see the chief of the west. It's rude to put it off until the afternoon, so try to finish it before lunch. ”
"Ahh
Yuzu didn't seem to have eased from her nervousness, but because she was walking together, she was at least much more relaxed in her attitude.
"Let's go, then." Nangong took a step forward and began to try his best to recall and relive the information that Banqing had given him about the Inspector General of the North.
The Inspector General of the Northern Region, no, maybe calling her the eldest princess directly in the future can make her feel better, which is also a point that Banqing specially reminded. And the reason why this chief is called the eldest princess is not because of her personal interests, nor because her subordinates like to play games, but because she is a real princess who is genuine and has not mixed with a little water.
The first emperor Yingzheng who ended the division of princes and finally unified the world and established the imperial system is said to be her younger brother, although this statement was once questioned by many monsters in the monster world, but no one dared to put it forward publicly, I am afraid that they have already acquiesced in their hearts to the identity of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the past she has secretly revealed.
The vast majority of ordinary people are afraid of death, and those who are in high positions, especially those who sit in such a position as the emperor, are even more so, after all, if the body disappears, all the honor, power, and wealth will also dissipate, and at most there will only be a "former emperor XXX" name. For this reason, Ying Zheng, who became the emperor, began to study the "elixir", and the purpose was very simple, that is, in order to be able to live forever, and always sit in the position of emperor.
The countless "immortal monks" and "divine doctors and holy monks" who were invited may be just some deceitful clowns who have scientific knowledge now, but now let Nangong see that this is not the case, although he doesn't know how many of these capable people are true and how many are fake.
But what is certain is that the first "elixir", the so-called "elixir", was still born, and this elixir is obviously the real elixir, because the person who was forced to swallow it was the current eldest princess Yingjiao, and she was still alive at the moment, and even became a chief minister.
The nice thing to say is to serve the emperor, and the ugly point is to be a "guinea pig". Because the development of this elixir is absolutely secretive, it is naturally impossible to tell superfluous people. And the first elixir Ying Zheng will definitely not try it in person, so he couldn't wait to choose his sister nearby, who has been secretly raised, and the eldest princess Ying Xuan, who is not known to the world, will come as the role of "tasting".
After that, even Banqing didn't know the information, but the only thing that was certain was that Ying Zheng took the real immortal medicine and survived, and all the immortal medicine that Ying Zheng got after that was fake, not only failed to make him get his wish, but also accelerated his physical weakness and finally died. If the first elixir of immortality he was not on guard, but ...... Well, this situation is definitely unrealistic. After all, no emperor will be the first to "test the poison".
And then, Ying Hui used her identity to obtain her share of wealth and has been in business to this day, if Yu Li's mother is very "rich" as a big businessman, then Ying Hui is as an "eldest princess" and has jewelry wealth that cannot be measured by money, of course, with this kind of wealth, it will definitely not be poor.
"Whew, it looks like it's here."
Following the route, Nangong came to a quiet courtyard, and it seemed that the two chiefs who came in person were treated very well, and the residence alone was completely different from other people or monsters.
The layout here is even more delicate and beautiful than the surroundings, and it should be a place where no matter who is entertained, it can reach the level of no rudeness at worst. The eldest princess Yingjiao, who came all the way from the northern region, must have been resting inside, and it shouldn't be difficult to see her with her current identity and Yuzuli's, but before that, the problems that need to be solved are the two ...... Little kids are playing.
One is digging the earth, ah, or is it more appropriate to shovel the soil with a knife in his hand? The short, flat knife seems unpretentious, but most of it is also an antique, and it is used to shovel the soil like this...... This black-haired boy is really too bad to know what to do.
And this looks like a little hairy child who is only seven or eight years old at most There is a companion not far away, although it is only relatively speaking, but the game played by his companion is much more "mature", judging from the little short legs that are constantly pounding, it should be practicing climbing trees.
Ha...... How on earth should I talk to them, or just ignore them and walk over?
"Ah...... It's really early to come to the guests. ”
After all, the little hairy boy who dug the soil did not disappoint Nangong Tai, after discovering Nangong and Yuzuli, he stood up and patted the mud on his body, and came to the door of the courtyard with a serious face, and the child who climbed the tree in the distance also hurriedly took out a halberd from the corner of the wall that was not known how much taller than her was also blocked at the door.
Although it was only for a short time, Nangong had already determined the danger of these two hairy children, and as for why they were playing that kind of childish game, it was better not to care.
"Although they are faces they don't know, they must be the representatives appointed by the two chiefs who have not yet arrived."
The child who ploughed the soil showed a sense of sophistication and calmness that did not belong to his age at all, and at the same time gave Nangong a word that he didn't know how to answer, "Contemptible Li Si." ”
"I'm the white one." The child, who called herself Bai Qi, looked like she wanted to hold her chest up, but she had to hold on to the halberd that almost hit her head.
The two celebrities of the Qin Dynasty, but they can't be determined in terms of temperament, but they don't look right at all, right......
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has been waiting for a long time." Li Si said to make way for Nangong, "Please come with me to pay respects." ”
