Chapter 130: The Twilight of Fifty
Before I explained to the three of them that we were going to a comfortable resting place now, they had just gotten out of the car when a row of black cars had stopped in front of me.
Meng Tian took a step forward, but was stopped by Yingzheng, and said.
"It's okay, it's supposed to be the coachman."
The car stopped, and a middle-aged man with white hair but full of energy got out of the car.
In each of the other cars, a man dressed in black bathing stood next to the car.
"It's been a long time, soul crosser, and the old people who have come from afar."
The four of us bowed slightly, and such a battle had really attracted all the people passing by.
But they didn't care.
"Who are you?"
I don't know who the other party is yet, and I'm a little surprised by this Matrix scene.
"You can call me a butler, I've been waiting for your call."
Chamberlain? Moon seems to have told me.
I nodded and turned around, and said to Yingzheng San.
"This is the treatment that the moon envoy has prepared for you, let's go!"
Ying Zheng nodded, he was used to this kind of hospitality.
And me?
looked at Che Zhen and then looked at the card in his hand, the gilded text.
The elongated car was more luxurious than I expected, with its own freezer and air conditioning, and the stereo resounded.
The four people did not seem crowded, and the butler sat in the co-pilot, waiting at any time.
"This... Apparently more comfortable than yours, huh? ”
Ying Zheng looked around and asked.
I was a little embarrassed and replied with a smile.
"The use is different, my road is suitable for running and walking, and this one is more suitable for reception."
At this time, I noticed Meng Tian staring at the glass bottle in the freezer, and I asked the butler sitting in the front seat.
"That, butler?"
He tilted his head slightly and replied.
"Yes, sir."
Very respectful and comfortable.
"Is this wine drinkable?"
"Of course, sir, these are the best wines, and if you need anything else, I'll send someone to fetch it at once."
The butler replied.
"No, no, not for the time being."
I reached for a glass and a bottle of foreign liquor with an alcohol content of 63%, which is rare for such a high-strength liquor.
Poured a cup, added ice cubes, and handed it to Meng Tian.
"General, those who come are guests, don't be restrained, enjoy life."
I thought about it and poured three more glasses, one for each person.
"First Emperor, forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality. Please. ”
They are curious about everything, including glasses.
One bite, I almost choked to death, it's so spicy, I'm about to cry.
Meng Tian saw that Yingzheng had no objections, and he also wanted to taste the wine of this era, and soldiers were always addicted to alcohol.
"It's a little sweet, it's fragrant, and it's good."
I couldn't stand this high strength and handed him the rest.
Ying Zheng drank it all, Meng Yi only took a sip, then put it down, and watched Ying Zheng drink it all and then pick it up and drink it all.
This hierarchical interpersonal relationship makes me a little embarrassed.
"First Emperor, do you have a place you want to go or a wish you want to fulfill? I will do what I can for you. ”
Pull the topic and don't let embarrassment turn into cancer.
Ying Zheng heard this, thought about it, and said.
"There are a few places I want to see."
As a result, Yingzheng told me some strange place names, because I don't remember them now, but fortunately, the housekeeper was very knowledgeable, and he handed me a map of the world, on which the places were marked.
What surprised me was that Yingzheng didn't choose his ancient capital, Shaanxi.
It's something else.
The most surprising thing for me was a place he couldn't name.
"Penglai Xiandao?"
I was sure I heard correctly, and repeated the question.
"Yes, that year, I obviously felt physically exhausted, but I still had so much to do, too much, I was afraid of death, I was afraid that I would not wake up, I was afraid that everything I had built up after I died would disappear, and I would not be able to stay for a day when I held the world in my hands."
Ying Zheng is the emperor who is most afraid of death in history, and there are relevant records in both history books and wild history biographies.
"I heard that by sailing in the direction of the sun's birth, you can reach the place where the immortals live, so I ordered Xu Fu to go with enough supplies for ten years, and the three thousand boys and girls he asked for were also required to go with him, and just like that, he went."
With Ying Zheng's words, I used my pen to cross the map, from Xianyang, Shaanxi Province all the way to the east, and finally crossed the Chinese neighbors, the island countries.
"Did he find it?"
I asked.
Ying Zheng shook his head, his face was a little helpless, and he shook his head.
"No, I didn't wait for him until I died, although I was hopeless in my twilight years, I still hope to see him come back with the elixir of immortality when I am dying."
This is also recorded in the history books, after Yingzheng got the world, what he was most afraid of was the step that everyone would take, death.
Ordinary people who have no ability can only resign themselves to fate, and say with a smile that the fairest thing is death.
Like Yingzheng, he has the ability to beg the world's rulers to find the elixir of life for him when he is in power.
"Are you guessing that Xu Fu didn't come back because he found it, but he didn't want to come back?"
I guess, though I also know, that there is no fairy island at all.
"In any case, I want to walk Xu Fu's path again, and I want to see where he puts my orders."
Ying Zheng is very resolute, although it feels a little bit like a boat seeking a sword, but I can't say anything, except for going to outer space and the deep sea, I think there is really no place on this earth that can stop him.
The housekeeper didn't talk much, and he worked hard to help us.
"Sir, we have arrived, and we can stay here next, this is a private house, no one will disturb us."
The car stopped, chatting all the way, and I didn't even notice how long we drove away.
The door opened, and I stepped out of the car, and what I saw was nothing short of what I expected.
"Butler, this...
The opportunity in front of us can be described as a high-tech residential area, which could not be more modern, with doorway surveillance, smart sensors, LCD displays, laying optical floor tiles, street lights on the side of the road, all of this is so avant-garde.
This is good? Yes, that's good, but ...
"Do you want to ask, sir, why did you prepare such a living environment?"
The butler asked me with a smile, and of course I nodded.
At this time, Ying Zheng and the Montessori brothers also got out of the car, followed behind Ying Zheng on the left and right, looking at the building in front of them.
"This is according to the meaning of the boss behind the scenes, the guests who came this time are a little special, in her words: I have lived in a wooden house for a lifetime, is it rare to live in a wooden house again?"
The housekeeper's words made me a little dumbfounded, and I turned my head to look at Yingzheng, the three of them had the right to speak.
"First Emperor, what do you think?"
Ying Zheng watched it for a long time before he nodded and smiled.
"Yes, I have lived in wooden houses and bricks all my life, such buildings are full of novelty, I am very satisfied, sometimes I forget that I have been fifty years old man, but I did not think that after death is eternal life."
I really want to tell him that fifty years old is really not a twilight year.
