Zi Chu's face turned pale, and he looked at the 'pill' in his hand tremblingly and said, "General Su...... When he left Xianyang, he once said that if the widow encounters the danger of his life, he will open the bag and may be able to live...... At first, the widow was unharmed, and he was a little skeptical about this, but this General Su had just left for a month, and such a thing happened, and General Su actually left a way for the widow to live. ”

The healer and Xia Wuhe all looked at the pill in Zi Chu's hand.

Lü Buwei was shocked: "Could it be that General Su knew that the king was sick?" ”

Zichu shook his head and said: "General Su must not know, because at the beginning, Wang Di spoke, saying that this thing was just for precaution, and it may not be used. ”

Xia Wuhe stared at the pill in Zi Chu's hand and said, "Qi pill? It's actually a Lingqi pill! ”

Seeing that Xia Wuhe spoke up, everyone looked over one after another, "What is Qi Pill, but it can cure the king's disease?" ”

Xia Wuhe's complexion changed suddenly, and after several changes, he stopped talking, and finally sighed: "It can cure the symptoms but not the root cause, this Qi pill can suppress the ...... in the body Disease, but it cannot be removed, that is to say, even if the king takes the Qi pill, it will not be cured, but only let the king wake up for an extra hour every day, once the disease in the body is ...... When the disease returns to the Divine Palace, it will be completely incurable. ”

"What?"

Empress Dowager Xia was also panicked.

Zi Chu hurriedly said: "Then dare to ask, how can the disease of widows be cured!" ”

Xia Wuhe said: "Then I have to ask the person who refines this Qi Pill, the ...... in my clan It won't be cured. ”

……

Su Zheng didn't know what was happening in the palace at this time, and Zi Chu was already facing the stage of frequent death.

At the beginning, he only roughly thought that Zi Chu was going to suffer a catastrophe, but he was not sure, and later met Mi Xin in Handan, only to know that Mi Xin followed Mi Zhong to Qin State, just for Zi Chu.

At first, he simply thought that Mi Zhong would poison him, but the poisoning was too obvious and he shouldn't do it.

If you want to assassinate the King of Qin silently, what other way can't be done.

Therefore, he cautiously exchanged a pill that could eliminate all kinds of poisons in the system, but he didn't know whether this pill could treat the symptoms, so he could only say that it might save his life.

Xia Wuhe didn't say anything all the way, and followed Lu Buwei into the carriage in a panic.

In the carriage, Lü Buwei said loudly: "Sir, what is the king's illness, there are only you and me at this time, but you say it's okay." ”

Xia Wuhe took a long breath, looked at Lu Buwei's expression, and knew that it would not work if he didn't say it today, and said: "The king is neither sick nor poisonous, but has been hit by the art of Toad Treasure!" ”

Lu Buwei's expression was shocked, and he knew that it was not a good thing when he heard the name.

Xia Wuhe sighed and said: "Prime Minister, the only one who can understand the art of Toad Treasure is the Qi Refiner, the reason why I panicked is because my clan hid in the Qinling Mountains in order to avoid the Qi Refiner back then, and I didn't expect that I would run into them as soon as I came out of the mountain." ”

When Lu Buwei heard the three words of Qi Refiner, he was also worried.

"You're talking about those god-chattering warlocks, can't you?"

Xia Wuhe did not answer Lu Buwei, and said: "My clan has been fighting with the Qi Refiners for a hundred years, and the world only knows that the Qi Refiners are warlocks, but they don't know that these people are also proficient in the principles of heaven and earth, but what they are seeking is the ethereal art of immortality, so for thousands of years, this group of people has also been proficient in the principle of mutual restraint of all things, and they have also learned many skills from it. Now it appears in the Qin State. ”

When Lu Buwei heard the word Chu Di, he immediately figured out a lot of things, and said in his heart: "Could it be related to the Chu State Qi clan?" ”

Xia Wuhe continued: "The so-called toad treasure technique is to use a big toad, with a ruler-long iron nail, nail the four legs, and then use charcoal fire to moxibustion to noon, during which the toad is smeared with herbs to continue its life, at noon, and then put a light of water in front of the toad, if the toad does not die, you can spit out a thing, there is a golden light, this thing is the toad, if it is a person to take it, you can cross the rivers and lakes." ”

The so-called transcendent rivers and lakes are a kind of hyperactive and hallucinogenic performance, but they can't move their limbs, just like a dead person.

Lu Buwei's face was gloomy, and as his wisdom, he guessed one or two through Xia Wuhe's words.

However, can you go to the fanfare Xingshi to ask for the guilt, it is definitely impossible.

One is that there is no evidence, and Toad Bao's statement is only one side of Xia Wuhe's words, who can know it.

Second, this thing must come from a qi refiner, as Lu Buwei, who has done business in various countries, he knows very well the status of qi refiners or those witch spirits in the Chu State?

Even when the king of Chu saw it, he respected him as a guest and respected him as a ghost and god.

Once he uses the witch spirit or qi refiner of the Chu State to ask the guilty Qi clan, it is tantamount to blaspheming the beliefs of the people of the Chu State, and it is impossible for any Chu people, including those in the current court, to let him Lu Buwei go, and the Chu people in the court will regard him Lu Buwei as an enemy.

This is the power of ghosts and gods, or the power of faith, it's difficult, Lu Buwei couldn't help but think.

Xia Wuhe saw Lu Buwei pondering, and said: "Presumably, with the knowledge of the prime minister, it should have been clear that the so-called witch spirits and witch gods in Chu are those qi refiners, and the reason why they make the people of Chu believe in them and the king of Chu respects them, is that they are doing something to disrupt the country and the people, and use the power of Chu to pursue the ability of immortality." ”

When King Huai and King Ling were in power, the Wu of Chu reached the peak, which was something that the other six countries knew.

The king's pursuit of immortality is a move to disrupt the country, and behind it is to be tempted by these qi refiners, but immortality is the king's cartilage.

Lu Buwei said: "Sir, don't hide it, the relationship between me and the king is like lips and teeth, one is prosperous and the other is lost, so please ask Mr. to teach me how to do it in order to save the king's life." ”

Xia Wuhe said: "It's not a secret, the art of toad treasure, our clan can solve it, but no one in our clan will save it." ”

"This ...... Here's why. ”

"My clan chose to escape the world because of the Qi Refiners back then, how can we get involved because of the Toad Treasure now, once we solve the Toad Treasure technique, it will definitely alarm some Qi Refiners to come to the Qin State."

"What about you? Why come to Qin? ”

“…… I sneaked out! ”

Regarding Xia Wuhe's answer, Lu Buwei was also speechless for a while.

Xia Wuhe said: "However, the king is not without opportunities. ”

Xia Wuji's words also gave Lü Buwei another glimmer of hope.

"Where did the Qi Pill in the king's hand come from?"

"Gifted by Su Zheng, this person is my general of Great Qin, and he is the same age as you...... It's also a world-shattering talent. ”

Xia Wuhe was suddenly a little curious, "It's incredible, I don't know where General Su is now?" ”

"General Su is leading his troops to attack Zhao State!"

Xia Wuhe said: "Since the king has taken the Qi pill, at least there should be no major problem within this month, since General Su can get the Qi pill, there must be a way to get rid of the poison of the toad, the prime minister might as well write a letter and inform General Su of all the things in Xianyang, and General Su will definitely find a way to find this person who refines the Qi pill after learning about it." ”

……

The next day, the Empress Dowager Huayang came to visit Zi Chu early in the morning, only to learn that Zi Chu actually woke up for a moment yesterday, and said in her heart that she was afraid that Fan Yu's previous plan to go to Zhao was about to fail.

However, this matter must be facilitated by a way.

Empress Dowager Huayang looked at Zichu and said, "The king's body has not healed, please go quietly to recuperate." ”

"Thank you Queen Mother for your concern, my son is much better today."

The Empress Dowager Huayang nodded, and then said: "The old woman heard that the court and the central government were arguing a few days ago about who should be sent to Zhao to reinforce the country, and the king was even more bedridden for this matter, I shouldn't have said much about the court, but the way you look now, the mother has to say, since there are so many voices that make you worried, why don't you take a general that they can accept." ”

When Zi Chu heard this, his pale face also nodded slightly, these days, he was indeed annoyed by these people's arguments.

"As the queen mother said, who should be appointed?"

"Fan Yuzhi, the general of the Zhaoxiang Dynasty, is not waiting in Xianyang now, the king might as well send Fan Yuzhi to go, there is General Su to press the front line without worry, and if Fan Yuzhi is appointed, the court has nothing to say, and it is not a good strategy?"

Zi Chu thought for a moment and said, "What the Queen Mother said is extremely true! ”
