Chapter 161: The Great War is Imminent

"Weichen Xu Fu, knock to see Your Majesty!"

Xu Fu arched his body forward, lowered his head, stretched his arms forward, and his palm was facing upward, and above his palm, there was a square box, which came to the first emperor under the traction of the eunuch.

When the First Emperor saw him holding the box, he asked, "Why are you here in a hurry?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister lived up to expectations and refined a longevity pill last night, and I came to present it this morning." Xu Fubi said respectfully.

As he spoke, he handed the box to the eunuch and presented it to the First Emperor.

After Ying Zheng took the square box, he slowly opened it, and the huge square box heavy sword had a jet-black elixir, which vaguely emitted the smell of medicine, not as poisonous as Meng Yi said.

But he knew that Meng Yi would not lie to himself, and then he closed the box and put it aside, not in a hurry to take it.

After Xu Fu peeked a few times from the corner of his eye, he was very surprised in his heart, Ying Zheng would take the pill presented before, why didn't he take it this time?

Just when he was suspicious, he heard the First Emperor scolding sharply: "Why is it not the elixir of immortality?" ”

It turned out that he was blaming himself for not refining the elixir, no wonder he didn't take it, compared to the elixir, this longevity pill is really not worth mentioning.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, although this longevity pill is better than the old pill, taking it can prolong life, and it will definitely be of great benefit to your dragon body." Xu Fu said.

"What's the use of prolonging life? The elixir of immortality that I wanted, how did you promise me that you could refine the elixir of immortality when you went to the East China Sea to find Penglai Immortal Island, but now that several months have passed, you have only refined the longevity pill? Aren't you lying? ”

"Weichen is afraid, even if you borrow the bear's heart and leopard guts, you will never dare to deceive Your Majesty." Xu Fu knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, and then explained: "It's not that the ministers can't refine the elixir, but that Penglai Immortal Island is the residence of immortals, and mortals like us need to get the fate if they want to land on the island." ”

"If there is no chance, Rao will not be able to find it if he is looking for a lifetime."

"According to you, when will I wait? If I can't find it for the rest of my life, will I have to wait for this Songhai City for the rest of my life? The First Emperor asked angrily.

"Your Majesty is angry, you need someone to find Penglai Immortal Island, this matter cannot be requested, and the minister has an old friend, just landed on the fairy island, got the guidance of the immortals, if he comes forward, he will definitely be able to find the fairy island, collect the immortal medicine, and make the elixir of immortality." Xu Fu made it up, and no one knew whether it was true or false anyway.

"Oh? Is there really anyone who has ever been to Immortal Island? Why didn't you talk to me earlier? ”

"The minister is also helpless, my old friend, he has a strange temper, and he rarely deals with people, even if I come to the door many times, he reluctantly agrees to see me."

"It's okay here, after all, he is a master of the world who has been instructed by immortals, if my temper is even more grotesque than his." The First Emperor said with a smile.

Seeing Yingzheng laughing, Xu Fu also laughed with his face, and after some flattering words, he said again: "Just half a month ago, this old friend of mine personally went to the East China Sea to find Xiandao for His Majesty to refine the elixir, and finally lived up to the emperor's grace, not only found Xiandao, but also obtained the secret method of immortal alchemy. ”

Once these words are spoken, it is indeed a great attraction, and it is undoubtedly a great temptation to find the fairy island and get the alchemy secret method of the elixir, which is undoubtedly a great temptation for the ancients.

knew that Xu Fu was deceiving himself, but Ying Zheng still felt throbbing in his heart when he heard it.

"In that case, then what are you waiting for to hurry up and refine the pill."

"Your Majesty, now all the medicines of the elixir of immortality are complete, but the last medicine is missing."

"What medicine?" The First Emperor asked.

"The blood of three thousand boys and girls."

After hearing this, the First Emperor's heart was shocked, the blood of three thousand boys and girls? Is this alchemy, or murder?

Boys and girls can be searched, but if you want to find three thousand boys and girls, not to mention the number of people, refining medicine with their blood, and being known by the people of the world, what should the people think?

"Is there a replacement?"

"Your Majesty, this is the magic method of the immortals, and it is beyond the power of mortals like us to change it, so naturally there is no substitute for the medicine." Xu Fu said.

"I know, you really prepare other alchemy matters, as for the three thousand boys and girls, I will find a way." The First Emperor said with a gloomy face, "Also, this matter is not allowed to be publicized to the public, but the news leaked, and I will not spare you first." ”

"Wechen obeys."

"Go down, I still have important things to do."

"Whoa."

Xu Fu slowly retreated, and after reaching the outside of the palace, he showed a treacherous and sinister smile, he knew that Ying Zheng had fallen into their trap step by step.

After Xu Fu left, the First Emperor turned around and said to the side of the wall: "You heard what Fang Cai said. ”

Meng Yi walked out from behind the wall and sneered: "Hear it clearly, not a word." ”

"What do you think about this?"

"If there really is an elixir, does Your Majesty think Xu Fu will dedicate it to you? After he takes the elixir, he will be invincible in the world, so what can His Majesty do? Meng Yi asked rhetorically.

The First Emperor nodded approvingly, if there was really an elixir, how could Xu Fu dedicate it to himself? People are selfish, and Xu Fu is certainly no exception.

"That's right, but why does he want three thousand boys and girls?" The First Emperor asked puzzled.

In the history books, Xu Fu took 3,000 boys and girls to the east to find Penglai, but Xu Fu was gone and never returned, and there has been no news since then, some people say that he went to Dongying, and now the people of Dongying Island, all of whom are descendants of Xu Fu, is directly unverifiable.

But the only thing that can be proven is that Xu Fu wants to escape openly.

"What else can he do, naturally he will run away with the boys and girls, find another continent, and be his free emperor." Meng Yi explained.

The 3,000 boys and girls he led were the subjects of Xu Fu when they grew up, and Xu Fu was their emperor, and after a few decades, these men and women would reproduce and he would enjoy his family forever.

Instead of being frightened in Daqin, it is better to stand on your own mountain and claim the king.

"Why did you see him running away?"

"If the kid is not mistaken, next, Xu Fu will take the opportunity to say that in order to ensure alchemy, he must use the power of heaven and earth, so it is very likely that he will choose to make alchemy at sea, so that he can take the opportunity to escape." Meng Yi said.

For Meng Yi's words, the First Emperor was also skeptical, after all, all this was Meng Yi's speculation, and whether it was really as he said remained to be verified.

Meng Yi also saw the doubts in the heart of the First Emperor, of course, he also expected Ying Zheng to fully believe in himself, and Meng Yi's speculations were just reasonable inferences according to the progress of the history books.

"Your Majesty, whether Xu Fu will wait for an opportunity to escape, as long as the time comes, we will know. The boy knows that you still have a doubt in your heart, that is, the longevity pill he sent, do you still have illusions, thinking that this longevity pill is a panacea? Meng Yi said what Ying Zheng thought.

As he said, the First Emperor did have illusions, even if Meng Yi told him that it was poisonous, he still couldn't help but want to give it a try, what if he could prolong his life?

After all, no one thinks their lives are too short.

Meng Yi didn't speak, but took the square box, opened it, took out the so-called 'longevity pill', put it into the water and fused, he pulled out the silver hairpin on his head and inserted it into the water.

After a few breaths, the silver hairpin turned jet black.

The ancients used a silver needle to determine whether food was poisonous.

(ps: silver needle poison test, the ancient poison production process can not be reached, the poison contains more impurities, some impurities will react with silver, and those that cannot react can not be tested for poison, so this method is not scientific, can not be generalized.) )

When the First Emperor saw that the silver hairpin had changed, his face changed suddenly, and he was shocked: "This ...... This...... Sure enough, it's poisonous. ”

"Your Majesty, now you believe it, this so-called longevity pill is simply a life-prolonging pill, they want to give you a new life, but they want to send you away in advance."

Before, Meng Yi said bitterly that it was better to practice it again, Meng Yi used a silver hairpin to detect the poison, and this time the first emperor completely believed it.

But the ensuing trouble hit his heart, and the First Emperor said: "Xiao Yi, I have been taking their pills before, but I still have the power to return to heaven?" ”

Before, Ying Zheng would take pills regularly, but he didn't expect the poison he took, but now that he thinks about it, it's really terrifying.

"Looking at Your Majesty's complexion, it is indeed haggard, but fortunately, the dose of poison they use is not large, and it is not enough to cause fatal damage to your dragon body, but the toxin has accumulated in your body, I am afraid that it will be difficult to remove in a short time, and you need to slowly recuperate, wait for me to prescribe you a few prescriptions for detoxification, and it will not take a few months to recover as before."

"That's good, that's good."

As long as he doesn't die, the First Emperor is a sigh of relief, fortunately, his life is worry-free, who would have thought that the dignified Qin Shi Huang is greedy for life and afraid of death, but this is human nature.

Since he knew that the Yanshou Pill was poisonous, the First Emperor was completely furious, but he didn't expect that this group of chaotic ministers and thieves would want their lives silently.

According to his former character, he would have captured and killed them all.

But now it's time to catch turtles in the urn and let them show their feet.

A few days later, Xu Fu really asked the First Emperor, saying that he was going to go to the sea to alchemy, everything was just as Meng Yi said, Xu Fu was about to escape, the First Emperor readily agreed, and he asked Xu Fu to send him a longevity pill every day.

Xu Fuke knew that taking the longevity pill every day, his body would become thinner and haggard, and sooner or later he would not be able to bear it, but since Yingzheng was looking for death by himself, it would be as he wished.

Moreover, Xu Fu aggravated the toxicity in the pill, and after the first emperor took it for a month, news suddenly came from the inner court, saying that the emperor was critically ill.

Li Si, Zhao Gao, Xu Fu and others felt that the opportunity had come, so they immediately wrote a letter to the organization and planned to act in advance.

The seemingly peaceful Songhai City is about to have a big event.
