Chapter 223: Everyone in the World Wants to Live Forever
The army walked out of the city gate, and a stone fell on Wei Zhuang's back.
He looked back and saw that it was a child, also yelling and swearing with the crowd.
Wei Zhuang looked to the side, and the white-robed man was still just looking at the road ahead. It was as if he hadn't seen the rocks around him and heard the abuse.
Walking on a horse, he looked a little bleak.
How far is the peace she wants?
The Koreans have a family hatred for the Qin State, not a national hatred. They don't have the feeling of their homeland, but their relatives died on the battlefield, so they hate, and this hatred cannot be consumed with land and food.
If the riot is quelled by coercion at this time, it will only make the relationship between the two more irreconcilable.
Gu Nan understood, so she couldn't do anything.
Otherwise, there would be no point in giving land to appease the people of the six kingdoms.
The invective slowly subsided after the army left.
Gu Nan glanced back at the trapped army behind him, and they all lowered their heads.
"What's wrong, unwilling?" Gu Nan asked calmly with a smile.
As the army walked along, one of them replied, "We just don't deserve it for the general." โ
Gu Nan was stunned, raised his eyebrows and turned his head: "It's nothing worth it." In a peaceful world, there is no need for people like me. โ
She has so many debts on her body, but what about just a few words of abuse?
He chuckled as if he were self-deprecating.
Scold. When a person like me dies, hell can't tolerate it.

When I returned to Xianyang, it was a few months after I left Xianyang that day, and it was already winter, and my clothes and armor were cold, and my shoulder armor was covered with a layer of hoarfrost because of wet condensation.
The shadows of the boats above the Weishui are Lingding, and occasionally you can see a few woodcutters carrying their burdens to dare to go to the city, these days the weather is cold, and the firewood can always buy a good price.
Xianyang City is still dressed in all kinds of words, but there is one thing that Gu Nan paid attention to, I heard that a group of people who claimed to be the Yin and Yang family came to Xianyang City some time ago.
Because Emperor Qin personally summoned them to the palace, this time made this name very popular.
Gu Nan walked on the street, listening to the words coming from the street, his brows furrowed slightly.
Yin-Yang Family.
The order to return to the army was transmitted, and the trapped army returned to the barracks.
Gu Nan led the horse through the palace gate, but saw Li Si standing there far away.
walked up with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be the prime minister who greeted him personally." โ
"Huh." Li Si smiled and saluted: "General Si Ying has returned from quelling the rebellion." โ
said as if relieved: "Since the general is back, the matter of Xinzheng should be appropriate, right?" โ
"It's already been fully distributed." Gu Nan said: "There will be results in all parts of South Korea. โ
"That's fine." Li Si put his hand in front of him and nodded: "You can also start the remaining land of the Five Kingdoms." โ
"Still." Gu Nan said again, his tone a little more serious: "Judging from Xinzheng this time, the old grudges of the people of the Six Kingdoms against the Qin State are not something to go to for a while. If you want to let their old grievances fade away, it should be a long-term plan. โ
Li Si showed a helpless look, indeed, the Qin State invaded the Six Kingdoms, and its people died in countless battles and were scattered, and now it is not easy to integrate the people of the Six Kingdoms into the Qin people?
"That's right." Gu Nan led the horse rope and walked towards the palace, suddenly remembered something, looked at Li Si and asked, "Scholar, I have something I want to ask you." โ
"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Si asked as Gu Nan walked beside him.
"When I entered the city, I heard that a Yin and Yang family had recently come to the court, but is it true?"
Li Si's expression paused, and he nodded slightly: "Yes, the Yin and Yang family was indeed summoned into the palace by His Majesty." โ
"Why is this Yin and Yang family?" Gu Nan vaguely had a not very good feeling.
Li Si smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that this family was originally a branch of the Taoist family, but now it has become a branch of its own. It studies the five elements of yin and yang, the limit of heaven and man. And His Majesty summoned them into the palace, yes, to ask for the way of immortality. โ
Gu Nan's expression was stunned, and he was half loud, and he answered: "The way of immortality." โ
She thought that Yingzheng would not embark on this road again, but after all, he still had the idea of immortality.
Li Si knew what Gu Nan was worried about, and said, "Your Majesty must have his certainty, you and I don't have to think about it." โ

In front of the Qi Nian Palace, a eunuch bowed down in front of Gu Nan and took the unqualified in Gu Nan's hand: "General, Your Majesty is invited." โ
Gu Nan nodded at him and walked towards the palace.
Ying Zheng sat in the hall and saw Gu Nan walk in, with some smile on his face, and he could see that he was in a good mood at this time: "Mr. Gu, you are back." โ
Gu Nan looked at Ying Zheng and bowed his head and said, "Meet Your Majesty." โ
"Hmm." Ying Zheng waved his hand to the waiters beside him, and the waiters on both sides placed a couch in front of Gu Nan.
"Sir, please be seated."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Nan saluted and took a seat.
Ying Zhengcai asked: "I don't know what happened in South Korea?" โ
"Back to Your Majesty." Gu Nan saluted: "The old lord in Xinzheng has been pacified, and the fields are divided among the people." However, the old grievances of the people are still difficult to settle. โ
"Is it hard to settle old grudges?" Ying Zheng's brows furrowed slightly, the people's voices were old and resentful, this matter really can't be rushed.
Frowned loosened: "This time there is still Mr. Lao." โ
He looked at Gu Nan but saw Gu Nan lowering his head, as if he was thinking about something, and asked suspiciously, "Mr. Gu, are you worried?" โ
Gu Nan raised his head, paused and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a question to ask." โ
"Questions?" Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Sir, please speak." โ
"Your Majesty." Gu Nan's voice was a little light, but he still asked, "Do you really want immortality?" โ
The temple was silent for a few hours.
Ying Zheng looked at Gu Nan.
The smile on his face was a little helpless: "Yes, the widow wants to live forever." โ
After saying that, he continued: "So, the widow also has a question for sir. โ
"Sir, is there really no immortality in this world?"
Gu Nan's eyes lowered and fell on the ground in the hall: "In the world, where does immortality come from?" โ
"So, sir." Ying Zheng's voice fell, he looked at Gu Nan, and his eyes fell on Gu Nan's body.
Gu Nan looked at Ying Zheng's gaze, and panicked inexplicably.
"Sir, but what about immortality?"
There was no sound above the main hall, and Gu Nan didn't know how she should answer.
After a long time, he said, "I don't know." โ
Ying Zheng stood up from his seat and slowly walked in front of Gu Nan.
In her gaze, she stretched out her hand and put it on Gu Nan's visor.
Gu Nan wanted to retreat, but was stopped by Ying Zheng.
Holding the slightly cool hand, Ying Zheng took off Gu Nan's face armor and revealed his face.
A face that has never grown old, just like the first time I saw it then. The unchanged brow dodged his gaze.
"Sir, haven't you never grown old?"
Ying Zheng chuckled and looked at the person in front of him, but his voice was a little bitter: "Why did Mr. lie to me?" โ
"Minister, please retire first."
Gu Nan pulled his hand out of Ying Zheng's hand in a panic, took back the face armor and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Ying Zheng stood there and didn't say anything, just watched the white-robed man leave.
He lowered his hand and asked a waiter beside him, "Do you know why the widow wants to live forever?" โ
The waiter on the side was already covered with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to raise his head, so he stammered and said, "Everyone in the world wants to live forever." โ
"Yes, everyone wants to live forever."
Ying Zheng looked in that direction until he could no longer see the person.
"Actually, I don't know why."
