Chapter 21: Immortality
Sending Li Qiaoyan out of the door, Li Chenyu picked up the unfinished book again, this is a travelogue that describes the customs and customs of various places in the world, the author has traveled through various places on the mainland, and recorded what he saw and heard along the way with a simple writing method, in fact, this book is essentially meaningless, but Li Chenyu saw it with relish, the life of ordinary people, and he had an inexplicable attraction.
It's just that soon, Li Chenyu put down the book, because Emperor Xia came here in the company of Gonggong Wei and Li Qiaoyan, and Emperor Xia seemed very enthusiastic about Li Chenyu.
He smiled and said, "Childe is still used to living there." ”
"Very well, already, Your Majesty bothered."
Emperor Xia waved his hand, "Yes, Gongzi saved Qiaoyan, and he is a great favor to us." ”
The two exchanged politeness for a while, Li Chenyu was not very good at this kind of scene, so he simply said: "Your Majesty, you must have come to me today because of something." ”
When Emperor Xia heard this, he said, "There are some things I want to ask my son." ”
Li Chenyu poured a cup of tea for Emperor Xia, "Don't dare to be, Your Majesty will say it." ”
While speaking, Li Chenyu didn't stop the movements in his hand and poured a cup of tea for Li Qiaoyan on the side, and Li Qiaoyan smiled at him.
Emperor Xia slowly spoke: "First of all, I want to thank Mr., Zichen has already told me, if it weren't for Mr., maybe Zichen would be bedridden today." ”
Emperor Xia got up and saluted Li Chenyu.
Li Chenyu did not get up and accepted this salute calmly.
Li Qiaoyan on the side looked puzzled.
After Emperor Xia finished saluting, he looked at Li Chenyu and said, "So Gongzi already knew that the front line could not be won?" ”
Li Chenyu shook his head, "I don't know, but I can see that Zhang Shoufu's state was not right yesterday." He may not feel it himself, but his body has actually given an early warning. ”
Is that so? Emperor Xia nodded thoughtfully.
Emperor Xia looked at Li Chenyu with hope at this time, "Childe, I want to ask you to help Da Xia." ”
"Me? Is Your Majesty so highly regarded by me? How do you want me to help? Li Chenyu chuckled.
"So far, I won't hide it from you. I sent someone to check your origins, and the results I got were unbelievable, more than ten years ago, you appeared in a small village in the northwest of Great Xia, called Qingshi Village. And after so many years, the child's face has never aged, which is incredible. ”
After Xia Huang finished speaking, he wanted to see Li Chenyu's reaction. But to his disappointment, Li Chenyu's face did not change at all.
On the contrary, it was Li Qiaoyan on the side, and his heart was surging. She suddenly thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Childe said that he was a thousand years old, everyone thought it was a joke, but was Childe's tone at that time really a joke?
Seeing that he didn't react, Emperor Xia continued: "So, I asked you that day when Gongzi denied immortality about immortality, so today I want to ask Gongzi again if there is immortality." ”
Emperor Xia looked at Li Chenyu with blazing eyes, and Li Qiaoyan on the side also looked at Li Chenyu curiously.
Li Chenyu said expressionlessly: "The answer I gave you today is still the same, there is no immortality."
"But if your understanding of immortality is to live for hundreds or thousands of years, then there is." Li Chenyu added.
Emperor Xia's expression was a little excited, but he quickly hid it.
"Sir teach me?"
The change in Emperor Xia's face naturally could not escape Li Chenyu's eyes.
He picked up his teacup and took a sip.
Said lightly: "Then, Your Majesty, why do you want to live forever?" ”
"Since I ascended the throne, I have been walking on thin ice every day, and I am afraid that the inheritance of my ancestors will be destroyed in my hands, so I have become what they call the most diligent emperor, but only I know, I am just afraid. If I really have a long life, I can slowly repair this empire, give me hundreds of years, Chu and Qin, these rebellious ministers and thieves, I will destroy them. And I also have the confidence to govern it into a real paradise on earth. Emperor Xia's expression was no longer hidden, he was high-spirited, but he also had some paranoia.
Li Chenyu looked at Emperor Xia, who was a little crazy in front of him, and said helplessly: "There are talented people in the country, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years. One generation does the things of one generation, why does Your Majesty have to carry so much. ”
When Emperor Xia heard this, he smiled and said: "Yesterday, I heard Zichen say that Gongzi's poem on the Spring River Flower and Moon Night, Gongzi is talented, but although that poem is good, it can't help but be too lonely. ”
"So, can Childe tell me how to get a long life?"
Li Qiaoyan looked at his father's appearance, feeling a little strange, and a little panicked in his heart. Li Chenyu noticed her and cast a reassuring look at her, and she was a little better.
Gonggong Wei on the side looked calm, obviously the person who knew Emperor Xia best in the world was this person who had been with Emperor Xia.
"Didn't Your Majesty already know that day?" Li Chenyu said lightly.
"Bai Yujing? Is there really a path to eternal life? Emperor Xia was stunned.
Emperor Xia beckoned to Gonggong Wei, and Gonggong Wei stepped forward and handed Emperor Xia a document.
Emperor Xia directly handed the document to Li Chenyu, which was exactly what Ye Wenqin wrote to Emperor Xia.
Emperor Xia said: "Wen Qin has already made up his will to die, he wrote this letter to me, guessing that our enemy may really have a day, because he doesn't believe that his favorite general will make this kind of mistake, combined with the strange celestial phenomena over the years, he made this guess, what does Gongzi think?" ”
