Chapter 25 Escort
Shen Chengping smiled slightly, took out a white jade bottle from his arms and said: "The elixir has been practiced, you can take it, we must present it to Your Majesty, no one is allowed to take this medicine, you can arrange someone to escort it quickly." ”
"Really, great!" Zhao Fei's voice trembled when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty is seriously ill now, if you can get the elixir, you will definitely be able to recover your health!" ”
Shen Chengping nodded, in the past three years, although he has been refining medicine, he still knows about the situation in the court, not long after Shen Chengping began to refine the elixir, Zhao Li's body began to deteriorate day by day, and now he is terminally ill, and he may die at any time.
Shen Chengping naturally knew that this was the backlash of Zhao's national fortunes, although Zhao Li was the hero who created Zhao Guo's domination of the world, it didn't mean that he could consume Zhao's national fortunes uncontrollably, in order to get rid of the evil qi in the elixir, Zhao's national fortunes were reduced by at least five hundred years, if he wasn't the lord of Zhao, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago, even so, now he is seriously ill, and Shen Ke is difficult to solve. Otherwise, although Zhao Li is already fifty years old at this time, he has refined his internal strength, plus the best tonic to take, even if he works hard in the government and politics, it will not be a problem to live for eighty or ninety years.
Shen Chengping took out the Phoenix Immortal Pill that he had worked so hard to refine, but the longevity pill that he had refined after improving the elixir refining method, Shen Chengping had already known the elixir recipe, but the cause and effect of refining the elixir was not something he was willing to bear, so he modified the pill slightly and refined the longevity pill with various top elixirs, as long as one can prolong life for a hundred years, but ordinary people can only take one in their lifetime, and Shen Chengping didn't want to be too pitiful in the end. In Shen Chengping's opinion, this pill was Zhao Li's reward for his multi-faceted help in refining the Phoenix Immortal Pill.
The surrounding monks didn't know that what Shen Chengping had in his hand was not an elixir, but a longevity pill, so they stared at the white jade bottle in Shen Chengping's hand with bright eyes, and after a while, they slowly withdrew their gaze, although they were watching the elixir, but with so many people present, no one was sure that they would be able to snatch the elixir under the siege of so many people. Moreover, outside the valley, there is also the elite Zhao army sent by the First Emperor, even if he can snatch it, I am afraid that he will be shot by those Zhao troops, the elixir can only make people immortal, but it does not mean that it can make people invulnerable and invincible, even if they take the elixir, they can also be killed.
Therefore, under all kinds of scruples, these people suppressed the greed in their hearts, after all, it is uncertain whether the elixir can live forever, after all, the elixir was a legend before, and it was impossible for them to desperately snatch the elixir for an uncertain possibility.
Seeing everyone's reaction in his eyes, Shen Chengping coughed lightly and said: "Everyone, this time the elixir was born, we should dedicate it to Your Majesty as soon as possible, I decided to lead the people to Jin to offer the elixir." ”
Many Fang Shi had scruples, so they silently watched Shen Chengping leave with the elixir.
Shen Chengping naturally did not go alone to send the elixir, accompanied by Zhao Fei and his pro-army, although Zhao Fei was also curious about whether the elixir in Shen Chengping's hand could really live forever, but he did not have any greed for the elixir, Zhao Fei knew very well that the elixir was not something he could peep at regardless of whether it was true or not, and once he was greedy, then his parents and brothers were afraid that they would face the catastrophe of destruction.
The desolate horn sounded, and soon thousands of Zhao army soldiers gathered, these Zhao soldiers were extremely brave, and all of them were extraordinary, otherwise they would not have been arranged to guard the altar nearby.
Turning over and getting on the horse, under the escort of Zhao Fei's army, Shen Chengping personally rushed to the palace of King Zhao where Zhao Li was now recuperating with the elixir.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that Shen Chengping has been refining the elixir here for three years now, and there are not a few people who know it, and it has gradually spread and has been remembered by those who have a heart.
If you want to say who doesn't want Zhao Li to live forever now, the first thing is that the royal families and nobles of other countries who were destroyed by Zhao State, these people have been plotting to rebel, but now Da Zhao's Bingfeng suppresses the world, not to mention that the rebellions set off by the six countries in their hometowns have been suppressed, externally, whether it is the Hu people in the north or the barbarians in the south, they can't stop the pace of Da Zhao's expansion now, and Da Zhao also has an efficient civil court, and now the unification of the world is not long after, the people's hearts have gradually settled down, If this momentum continues, the remnants of these countries will not be able to complete the long-awaited restoration.
Until recent years, the first emperor Zhao Li was seriously ill, the situation is getting worse day by day, the crown prince Zhao Ping does not look wise and powerful, can only be said to be a middle-aged posture, they feel the existence of hope, in this situation, heard about the refining of the elixir, their first reaction is that they must not let the elixir fall into Zhao Li's hands.
What's more, the elixir itself will attract endless covetousness, so when Shen Chengping sent the elixir, Zhao Fei led the army to escort him to King Zhao's palace, otherwise even if Shen Chengping's strength is not weak, he can't guarantee to face endless interception and shooting.
Sure enough, as Shen Chengping expected, wave after wave of raids appeared, in addition to those scattered martial artists, soon there were teams of elite private slaves composed of troops, and now it is only more than ten years since Zhao State dominated the world, although Zhao State has severely cracked down on private slaves, but many newly conquered territories, many local Haoqiang still retain private slaves, and the private slaves raised by these Haoqiang are like private soldiers, and they may not be as good as the regular army when assembled, but they are also an extremely powerful force. Many of them belong to the participating forces of various countries.
Under the impact of the private soldiers composed of the powerful in these places, the more than 1,000 soldiers led by Zhao Fei were also damaged, and with the news that Shen Chengping rushed to the palace of King Zhao with the elixir to present it to the First Emperor, it became more and more difficult for Shen Chengping and them to move forward. The journey was only halfway, and more than 1,000 elite Zhao Jun lost most of them under the impact of more than a dozen waves of powerful families.
For the difficulties of this road, Zhao Fei has already anticipated it, with Zhao Li's serious illness, there have been waves in the imperial court, and Zhao Fei, as an important general of Zhao State, can realize this, so the loss has always been not small.
Hurrying all the way, next to a small town, Shen Chengping and his entourage encountered the largest wave of interception, a piece of black oppression, there were thousands, and they didn't know that the hidden power of these wealthy families was so strong, and they were stunned to arm thousands of private slaves near Handan.
