Chapter 52: The Search for Elixir
Fang Mu entered Pingyang Palace with heavy steps, and he didn't know how to face Ying Jiang.
Fang Mu had few days to accompany Ying Jiang, and was often called out by Qin Shi Huang to go out on patrol, but now that Ying Jiang was pregnant, he thought that he could stay in the palace until Qin Shi Huang died, and he could also help prevent Zhao Gao's rebellion.
Now that he was sent out to find some elixir, Fang Mu couldn't come back to the palace at all, and he couldn't stop Zhao Gao's conspiracy.
……
"What! You said your father sent you to find the elixir of life! Isn't there Xu Fu? Ying Jiang frowned and said dissatisfiedly.
"The emperor doesn't believe Xu Fu, so he has to let me supervise ......" Fang Mu reluctantly told Ying Jiang all these causes and consequences.
"I'll go to my father and tell him!" Ying Jiang said and was about to get up.
She also knew that Fang Mu was gone, Qin Shi Huang would not die, and Fang Mu would not be able to come back.
Fang Mu grabbed Ying Jiang: "Jiang'er, it's useless, your father is in extremely poor health now, and he can't be stimulated anymore!" ”
Ying Jiang stopped, and then threw himself into Fang Mu's arms, silently holding back tears, yes, Ying Jiang knew Ying Zheng, it was useless for anyone to say it.
"I'm sorry! Jiang'er! Fang Mu said a thousand words, and in the end he could only say sorry guiltily.
"You're not sorry for me! It's my father's problem! I'll wait for you to come back and pick me up, and then leave this palace and be together forever! Ying Jiang said affectionately.
"Well, I will definitely come back to pick you up and take you away, but your father may not be there then......" Fang Mu promised.
Ying Jiang: "I know! ”
Fang Mu originally wanted to tell Ying Jiang that when Qin Shi Huang died, Zhao Gao would definitely cause trouble to the Great Qin Dynasty, and even Ying Jiang himself would be in danger.
But Fang Mu didn't want Ying Jiang to be worried, he wanted Ying Jiang to stay in the palace with peace of mind, raise the fetus, and Fang Mu would do his best to resolve all the crises in the future!
"Jiang'er, I'm going to find Wang Zhao, and I still have some things to do! Time is pressing, and I have to set off tomorrow to find the elixir! "Fang Mu has to hurry.
"Well, go ahead, I can take care of myself and wait for you to come back and pick me up!" Ying Jiang didn't want Fang Mu to worry, she knew that what Fang Mu was going to do was very important.
Fang Mu came to Wang Zhao's training place, Wang Zhao and a thousand soldiers were still training, and saw Fang Mu coming.
"Greetings, Lady Pony!"
Fang Mu greeted a thousand soldiers and called Wang Zhao to discuss things!
"General! Isn't it time for us to go to war! Wang Zhao couldn't wait.
"You just want to take your thousand soldiers to war?" Fang Mu asked rhetorically.
"It's not my 1,000 soldiers, it's the general's 1,000 soldiers of you and the princess, if you don't go to the battlefield in the army, your body will rust" Wang Zhao corrected Fang Mu's words.
"There will be casualties on the battlefield, it's not a last resort, I don't want you to bleed!" Fang Mu said helplessly.
"General, I and all the soldiers have long regarded you and the princess as our own people, and the military orders are like mountains, besides, as soldiers, how can we be greedy for life and fear death, and have already put life and death aside!" Wang Zhao was full of momentum.
Fang Mu was very moved: "Wang Zhao, thank you brothers for me, I will repay the kindness of my brothers in the next life!" ”
"General, you're too worried, is something going on?" Wang Zhao asked.
"The emperor's limit is approaching, I will be sent to find the elixir of immortality that does not exist at all, this time I will wait until the emperor dies to rush back, and the safety of the princess will be handed over to you and your brothers!" Fang Mu said.
Wang Zhao: "Unless we die, the princess will be safe and sound!" ”
"You find another clever brother and send him out outside the palace, and you must always keep an eye on my movements and all the movements in the palace!" Fang Mu commanded.
Wang Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, fox! He can do it! ”
"Okay, then the fox, let's start arranging it tomorrow! In addition...... "Fang Mu began to arrange a lot of things for Wang Zhao.
Fang Mu didn't dare to be careless, all of this was related to the life and death of himself and Ying Jiang!
Fang Mu and Wang Zhao discussed everything, and felt that it was almost over, he said goodbye to Wang Zhao and walked to Li You's mansion.
……
"Pony-sama! What the wind is blowing you in! There is a long way to go! Li You said in a deliberately yin and yang manner.
"Li You, if you do this again, I'll leave directly!" Fang Mu knew that Li You was deliberate, and he didn't like Li You like this very much.
Li You smiled awkwardly: "Haha, Brother Fang, I smiled when I saw you, I knew that you were in a bad mood, because you were sent by the emperor to find the elixir of immortality!" ”
"Yes and no, I'm here mainly to find you for something!" Fang Mu thought for a moment.
Fang Mu's purpose in coming this time was indeed to find Li You, but it was also because Qin Shi Huang suddenly sent him and Xu Fu to find the elixir of immortality that he came to Li You's mansion for the first time.
"Brother Fang, I, Li You, have always been grateful for my kindness, and I still owe you a life! Brother Fang, if you have anything, just say it! "Li You is very bold.
Fang Mu: "Okay, Brother Li You, as soon as I go this time, you know, I can't come back, I want to tell you something......"
Fang Mu then stayed in Li You's mansion with Li You until late, and Fang Mu breathed a sigh of relief and left Li You's mansion heavily.
Li You's face was heavy, he was thinking about something with his eyes closed, and he didn't know what Fang Mu and Li You said that made Li You so heavy.
……
On the second day, Li Si had prepared three thousand boys and girls for Xu Fu, plus one hundred elite soldiers, the carriage was also prepared, and the huge furnace was also loaded into the cart.
Qin Shi Huang came to hold a travel ceremony for Xu Fu and Fang Mu with illness, and also engaged in some sacrificial rituals, praying for blessings from heaven, which was very grand.
Fang Mu didn't care about this at all, so Qin Shi Huang was too superstitious and persistent, Fang Mu already had his own plan, ready to slip away at any time, so that he wouldn't be stupid enough to really look for the elixir that didn't exist at all!
Xu Fu did a good job, there were 3,000 boys and girls, 100 elite soldiers, people who don't know at first glance, they really think that Xu Fu is a hidden master, that look, I really know the existence of the immortal medicine.
Fang Mu knew what Xu Fu wanted these three thousand boys and girls and a hundred elite soldiers for, a hundred elite soldiers were really guarding their safety, for fear of encountering robbers and bandits, the boys and girls were purely liars, Xu Fu wanted to find a place to build a home!
"This magic stick!" Fang Mu secretly despised it in his heart.
Finally, the auspicious time has arrived, and Fang Mu and Xu Fu's large team in search of the elixir of immortality has set off......
