Chapter 410: Urgent Call
My uncle finally asked this question, but I knew it was a question I shouldn't have asked. I felt like all the sounds around me had disappeared, and the atmosphere was awkward.
But this time Gasta. Polo was surprisingly cooperative, and even wanted to tell my uncle this secret: "Okay, this is nothing, since you want to know, I'll tell you."
Just as he was about to tell the secret, Grandpa Xu Fu suddenly interrupted Gasta. Polo.
"Master Yu, I think it's late today, why don't you go back and rest first. It's been a tiring day, and I'm busy catching spies, and I'm getting a good night's sleep, and tomorrow we're going to continue to interrogate this Gasta. Polo, what do you think? ”
Sure enough, as my uncle said before, the secret in this Penglai really can't be used by junior people. It's okay to ask anything else, but as long as we ask this most critical question, even Grandpa Xu Fu personally stopped us. But my uncle knows these things, why do he still ask this question, isn't this asking for trouble.
At this time, my uncle couldn't say anything more, saluted Grandpa Xu Fu, turned around and took us away. I looked at my uncle's expression and didn't know what to say. We returned to the State Guest House like this, and my uncle didn't say a word, and went straight back to his room.
I didn't fall asleep that night, there are so many things going on these days. No, it should be said that strange things have not stopped since I met my uncle. It's inconceivable that so many things have happened in such a long period of time and that I have become the way I am now.
The next day, I woke up in the morning, not only because I couldn't sleep, but because I was worried about whether something would happen to my uncle. I suddenly realized that my worries were unfounded, and my uncle was having breakfast there. I watched him gulp down the delicious food in front of him, it seems that he has a good appetite, and I am worried again.
"Uncle, didn't you say yesterday that Grandpa Xu Fu didn't want us to know Penglai's secret, why did you still ask." I asked, puzzled.
"Is this because of curiosity, but also because I don't know the bottom of my heart." What my uncle said this time was not a lie, I saw confusion and helplessness between his eyebrows, in fact, I also wanted to know the secret of Penglai, but I didn't dare to ask.
"Uncle, your curiosity is too heavy, don't ask in the future."
My uncle said with a gloomy face: "Yes, I really couldn't control my curiosity yesterday, didn't Tang Xunzimo also say it, there are things I will naturally know when I should know." Yesterday I was a little too anxious, a little too impulsive. ”
My uncle also began to reflect on what happened yesterday, knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and it is very good. I also had some breakfast with my uncle, because I might not be able to eat at any time.
At this time, Liu Fang came over again, it seems that something happened to Penglai again. "Strategist, Master Xu Fu summoned you over and said that there is a new situation."
"Okay, we'll go right away, but you know if it's something, it can't be the Polo who was caught yesterday." My uncle said.
Hearing my uncle say this, Liu Fang immediately explained: "This is not true, it seems that there is something terrible that Polo explained, Master Xu Fu thinks you should go over and listen, you go quickly, the horse is ready."
My uncle didn't bother to wipe his mouth, so he took me out immediately. I said you should go by yourself, but you didn't call me. I can't finish this meal, so grab two steamed buns and eat them on the way. Soon we arrived at Penglai Pavilion, and this time we didn't see the gastapolo, but everyone else was there. But looking at Grandpa Xu Fu and Su Lingxue, their faces are not very good, what is going on.
"Master Yu, you're here." Su Lingxue had already greeted her.
"Something happened, it couldn't be Polo running away." My uncle asked.
Su Lingxue immediately shook his head: "This is not true, because he is too familiar with the mechanism here, and Gongyi Wushuang is creating a new cage, and I sent a team of soldiers to watch him closely." However, when we inquired overnight yesterday, we came up with a terrible thing. ”
"What a terrible thing." My uncle asked again.
"It's not related to Qin Cheng, but it's related to immortal medicine." It has something to do with the elixir of immortality, and my spirit came all of a sudden, after all, it may have a lot to do with me.
"Alright, let's go over." When they arrived at the top of the main hall, Grandpa Xu Fu asked everyone to sit down and started talking about things related to the immortal medicine.
Everyone sat down, and Grandpa Xu Fu began to speak. "Guys, I went and interrogated that gasta myself last night. Polo, in order to prevent him from lying, I also deliberately used mind reading. The interrogation of him was nothing else, I wanted to know about his ancestor Marco. The whereabouts of the elixir of immortality stolen by Polo. ”
"But when I know the whereabouts of the elixir of immortality, I feel that this matter can no longer be hidden from everyone, especially those who have already taken the elixir of immortality." It seems that this matter is really related to the elixir of immortality.
"According to Gasta. Polo said that his ancestor Marco. After Polo got the elixir of immortality, he also wanted to eat it himself to achieve the goal of immortality. But as a Christian, he didn't fully believe in the elixir of immortality, and he didn't think it was necessarily more effective than their holy water. ”
"Mark. Polo, after escaping this world, intends to continue his journey to the East, and he finds a caravan bound for the East and continues towards his destination. Along the way, he was still repeatedly studying the secret book of the Gong Yi family mechanism that he had stolen out, and it was only from this book of the mechanism that he felt the importance of this immortal medicine. Something that needs to be protected by such a tight mechanism will naturally not be fake. ”
Soon, they reached the capital of the Kublai Khanate, which was under the Great Mongol Empire, and they were met by Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan's Great Khan was also curious about the blond foreigner. Polo also told Kublai Khan what he had seen along the way. ”
"In the process, Marco. Polo revealed a little about what he had seen and heard in the Golden City, and Kublai Khan, who had heard it, was also interested. After that, Kublai Khan also sent tens of thousands of cavalry into the desert in the eastern part of the Chahotai Khanate to find the entrance to the Golden City. However, they and Ben did not find any place that could be called an entrance, but they also lost a lot of people, and in the end they could only return in vain. ”
"Kublai Khan thought that this Marco. Polo was deceiving himself that he didn't have the existence of the Golden City. The Kublai Khanate wanted to put this Marco at that time. Polo was executed, but Marco. In order to save his life, Polo offered the immortal medicine he got to Kublai Khan, hoping to save his life. ”
When Kublai Khan heard about the elixir of immortality, he was immediately overjoyed and gave Marco a great deal of gold and silver treasures. Polo, and also rewarded him with an official and a half-position. ”
"But just when Kublai Khan wanted to take the elixir of immortality, Marco. Polo had a sense of foreboding. ”
