Chapter 5: Something Happens
Fifty miles east of the county of the Kuoshan Plain.
Hiraharatsu Ferry.
Hundreds of horse-drawn carriages were parked here.
In the center of the carriage is a temporary wooden dormitory.
Inside the dormitory.
Brother Zheng leaned on the wooden bed, his face haggard, his eyes closed.
His pale lips trembled slightly, as if he were enduring intense pain.
At this time, Brother Zheng looked like a dying old man who was about to die in his peers, and he no longer had half the imperial prestige of the six countries.
Next to the wooden bed, Wang Qian, Zhao Gao, and Li Si stood side by side, all of them frowning.
Emperor Qin is sick!
And it's not lightly ill!
Just yesterday.
After Brother Zheng took the pill refined by Fang Shi as usual, before half the time of the incense had passed, he suddenly turned pale and sweated profusely.
Today it is even more severely bedridden.
The most serious thing is that after the consultation, all the ten imperial doctors in the same company did not see the specific symptoms!
"Your Majesty, this place is less than a thousand miles away from Xianyang, why don't we return to Xianyang first to find a famous doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and then tour the east again after Your Majesty recovers."
Wang Jian looked at the eager proposal and said, his eyes never left Brother Zheng from beginning to end.
Now that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have revived, none of the sons are up to the task.
If King Qin had a mistake outside at this time.
Great Qin is about to face the dangerous situation of competing for the throne of the prince and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms taking advantage of the chaos to seize power!
"Wang Qing doesn't need to panic, I'm just a recurrence of an old disease, just take a pill."
At this time, Brother Zheng, who had been silent all the time, opened his mouth, his voice was weak and he had no breath.
"That's right! Elixir! The minister will go to the Fang Shi to get the elixir for His Majesty! ”
Wang Jian reacted and hurriedly turned around and left the palace.
Although he didn't believe in taking pills to pursue immortality, he could only pin his hopes on pills now.
As soon as Wang Jian left with his front foot, an Iron Eagle Sharpard walked in with his back foot.
"Your Majesty, come out and ride quickly, the person who claims to be the Nineteenth Prince!"
Iron Eagle Sharp Man knelt on the ground and saluted, and reported.
"The people of the Little Nineteen Sect, could it be that they are in trouble in the court?"
After hearing the person who won Changsheng, the wrinkles between his eyebrows deepened, and then said, "Bring him in." ”
Could it be that something happened in Xianyang City?
"No!"
Iron Eagle Sharp replied, and then brought Yan in.
"Yan Yi came in the name of Gongzi to send something to His Majesty."
After Yan Yi walked to the palace, he directly took out a brocade cloth package from his arms.
Seeing this, Zhao Gao, who was standing aside, hurriedly took it and presented it to Brother Zheng.
Brother Zheng opened the package and saw that there was a piece of silk and a golden elixir inside.
The elixir smelled of herbs and blood.
Brother Zheng put the pill aside, picked up the silk and looked at it carefully.
When he saw the words on the satin, a sudden anger appeared on his face.
"Find out to me, who asked Xiao Nineteen to write this letter?"
Brother Zheng's face was gloomy as water, and his gaze swept over Zhao Gaoli Si.
There have been many officials who have advised him not to take pills.
But these officials, without exception, are degraded and punished.
Even Wang Jian was fined for a year for this incident.
Over time, no one dared to mention the pill again.
When Ying Changsheng was only eight years old, he wrote a letter to persuade him not to take the pill, which was obviously instigated by someone behind his back.
"Don't dare to be humble, maybe this is really the meaning of the nineteenth prince."
Zhao Gao and Li Si hurriedly kowtowed and explained.
"Your Majesty, the elixir has been returned!"
At this moment, Wang Jian went and returned, still holding a silver pill in his hand.
"Bring it to me!"
Brother Zheng hurriedly said, but when he took the pill from Wang Qian's hand, he didn't take it.
Brother Zheng pondered for a long time, and finally put down the elixir, and ordered to the Iron Eagle Ruishi, "Go catch a duck and come back." ”
"No!"
Iron Eagle Sharp took the command and turned to leave.
In order to take care of Brother Zheng's diet, there was a horse-drawn carriage for raising poultry in the team of the Eastern Tour.
After a while, the Iron Eagle Warrior caught a duck and came back.
"Feed this elixir to the ducks!"
Brother Zheng ordered directly.
"No!"
Iron Eagle Ruishi did not hesitate at all, and after taking the elixir, he stuffed it directly into the duck's mouth.
It didn't take a while.
The duck, which had just struggled, gradually wilted, and finally fell to the ground without a sound.
He's dead!
After seeing the duck die, except for Yan Yi, everyone present widened their eyes.
Doesn't that mean.
All these years, His Majesty has taken poison!
"Zhao Fu Ling, you actually refined the poison pill for Your Majesty!"
Wang Jian raised his thick eyebrows, his face was angry, and he took out the saber at his waist and put it on Zhao Gao's neck!
The monks who refine the elixir are all controlled by Zhao Gao.
Fang Shi refined the poison pill, and Zhao Gao could not escape the blame.
"Your Majesty spares your life, the old slave doesn't know that this elixir is actually poisonous!"
Zhao Gao fell to his knees again and again and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"It's none of your business, let's kill all those alchemists."
Brother Zheng said weakly, and the whole person seemed to age twenty years old in an instant.
There is no greater mourning than the death of the heart.
This elixir poisoned not only the duck, but also his decades of longing for immortality.
Is it really impossible to live forever?
Just as Brother Zheng sighed, Yu Guang inadvertently caught a glimpse of the golden elixir on the case.
"Since Xiao Nineteen said that this is the real panacea, then I will give it a try!"
Brother Zheng's eyes were resolute, and he directly picked up the pill and stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.
For Brother Zheng, this elixir is equivalent to a life-saving straw for a drowning person.
Brother Zheng is equivalent to the person who drowned in the River of Eternal Life.
The pill went down to the stomach, and it didn't have the cold feeling of the previous pill, but turned into a warm current, flowing down the blood to the limbs.
Wherever the warm current passes, all the stubborn diseases that have accumulated over the years have dissipated.
Wow~
When the warm current dissipated, Brother Zheng only felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out uncontrollably.
As this mouthful of black blood spit out, Brother Zheng felt as if the hundred-pound boulder pressed on his chest had been removed, and even his breathing was a lot more transparent.
The face that was pale just now became rosy in a short moment, and even the white hair on the temples turned jet black!
"Elixir! Sure enough, it's a elixir! ”
Brother Zheng was full of energy, and while he was shocked, he was extremely puzzled in his heart.
Little Nineteen has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and is now nearly eight years old, and when the town left Xianyang to tour the east, Little Nineteen was even stirring mud with wooden sticks.
How could such a child have such a mind in half a year, not only telling me to borrow the poultry poison test pill, but also sending me the real elixir!
There is definitely a master behind Little Nineteen!
It's just that I don't know if this person is friend or foe!
"Wang Jian listened to the order and quickly returned to Xianyang with a thousand Iron Eagle Ruishi to investigate the experience of Xiao Nineteen for nearly half a year, there must be no mistake!"
After a self-correction, Brother Zheng immediately gave an order to Wang Qian!
