"Where are the immortals in this world?"

Zulong traveled all over the temples of Rome, offering his sincerity one by one with a pious heart.

But he stayed here for more than a month, but he never heard the call of the gods.

The priests of those temples spoke nicely, saying that if they were pious enough, they would eventually be forgiven by the gods

Zu Long scoffed at this, he didn't need any forgiveness, only the method of immortality.

The unwilling ancestral dragon spent more than a year running almost all over the famous temples.

As for what the result is, anyone with a normal IQ knows it.

Zu Long, whose temper is becoming more and more irritable, is also getting worse and worse.

He had to take more so-called elixir to strengthen his spirit, which did have the effect of refreshing his mind and greatly improving his physical and mental state.

But the medicine is three points poisonous, and eating too much will definitely not be a good thing.

The more the ancestral dragon's elixir was eaten, the more damage it would do to the body.

Good things do not mean that the more you eat, the better, but also to pay attention to a degree.

What's more, all kinds of medicinal materials with different medicinal properties are gathered together, heated and then taken, which is equivalent to eating the ancestral dragon into a medicine man.

When the side effects come out, you have to take the elixir to suppress it.

And the more elixir you eat, the greater the intensity of the side effects, and you can only eat more elixir.

Once you get caught in this endless loop, the results speak for themselves.

What's even more exaggerated is that the alchemists who followed Zu Long on his western tour so that they could dispense medicine for him anytime and anywhere even began to experimentally add strange animals and plants from all over Europa to the ingredients of medicinal materials.

This kind of alchemy like a big luck, even Li Yunze was terrified to see it.

Not to mention the ancestral dragon, even he himself didn't dare to eat it.

As for Zu Long, he had already persuaded him, but people didn't listen.

And Zu Long kept asking him for the method of immortality, and the reason why Zu Long so convinced that there must be gods in the world is that the biggest evidence is Li Yunze, who seems to be eternally young.

Li Yunze was tired and didn't explain.

He could also understand Zu Long, after all, as he grew older, his fear of death grew.

Who can not be afraid in the face of eternal death?

On this day, Zulong's mighty fleet came to the westernmost and narrowest section of the entire Far West Sea.

"This is the real end of the world."

Standing on the deck, looking at Li Yunze, who was on the steep cliff on the shore not far away, he gave a rare sigh of admiration.

This is the very top of the Far West Sea, and if you go further, it is the vast Western Ocean.

When the ancestral dragon on the side heard this, he also raised his eyes to look at the shore, looked at the cliff towering on the coast, and immediately instructed Zhao Gao, "Pass the decree and engrave words on this cliff." ”

Zhao Gao subconsciously asked, "What are you carved?" ”

Does this need to be asked?

Zu Long sank his face, "It's the end of the world!" ”

Zhao Gao hurriedly ran to run errands, while Zu Long stepped to Li Yunze's side, "Taifu, if you go further, it will be the Western Ocean on the globe, right?" ”

"That's right."

Li Yunze nodded, "This is the top of the West Sea of the World Island, and the Western Ocean is in front of it." Crossing the Western Ocean is the new world where the descendants of Yin Shang live."

As for the new world that Li Yunze introduced with great interest, Zu Long was not very interested.

After all, for him, Great Qin at this time was already huge enough, even so huge that he couldn't manage it.

Even on the way to the west, he had to deal with hundreds of catties of weight every day, and it was really a day to stay up until the rooster crowed, all relying on ginseng soup and elixir.

It is extremely damaging to the body.

Zu Long didn't want any new world, and he didn't want any descendants of Yin Shang.

What he was thinking in his heart was, "I don't know if those descendants of Yin Shang have learned the immortal law"

Hearing this, Li Yunze rolled his eyes directly.

The ancestral dragon has gone mad.

Great Qin's westward expedition, after conquering Luocheng, basically came to an end.

As for those places further west and north, they seemed to everyone to be proper barbarian lands, either barbarian tribes that bloomed everywhere, or endless forests.

Qin Jun had no interest in going deep into the mountains and old forests to play hide and seek with the barbarians.

After beating all the civilized places, they began to happily pack their bags, sort out the spoils they had obtained over the years, calculate their military exploits, etc., and prepare to return to their hometown with satisfaction when the newcomers from the country who came to rotate the border arrived.

The momentum of Great Qin is huge, it can be called earth-shattering, it lasted for decades, destroying hundreds of countries along the way, pacifying countless barbarian expeditions, and finally came to an end.

After that, it is time to divide the prefectures and counties and arrange the affairs of local civil affairs.

Zu Long is not surnamed Ya, the land he defeated is naturally his own, and he will manage it carefully and control it firmly.

For example, if the surname Ya dies, the huge empire will collapse directly, and Zulong will never allow it to happen.

At the westernmost point of the West Sea, he worshipped the god of the sea, waited for some time, and did not see the messenger of the god of the sea appear, and invited himself to the Dragon Palace to play, and ordered the fleet to return with disappointment.

Back in the city of Rome, which has been renamed Suzhou, Zulong has been busy here day and night for most of the year.

The main task is to settle this huge territory laid down by the westward expansion.

On the south bank of the extreme west, Zulong set up the capital protection mansion, which was taken care of by Wang Li and others.

For the Wang family of Wang Qian's lineage, Zulong still trusts him very much.

As for the north, it is bounded by the narrow sea, the east is the Kakushu Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Shiruma is the Grand Metropolitan Protectorate.

To the west, there is the Suzhou Metropolitan Protectorate, which is protected by Sujiao, who has conquered this city and made great achievements.

In Zu Long's view, this kind of setting up of the capital protectorate is only temporary.

Local prefectures and counties should be resettled and assigned as soon as possible, and officials in various localities should also make proper arrangements as soon as possible.

He plans to use ten to twenty years to stabilize this side first.

When that time comes, these major protectors will be transferred back to Xianyang City one by one to enjoy the blessings, and then directly divide the capital protectorate into several provinces, so as to completely control these territories.

Once Zulong gets busy, he can't stop.

There are just too many things to do.

Not to mention anything else, people everywhere speak differently, the first is to unify the language, and the second is to unify the writing.

Then it is to redivide the residential area, set the identities of all kinds of people, win over a group of people who are willing to take refuge, support a group of people who were originally oppressed and weak to be thugs of the Qin army, tidy up the roads and farms in various places, how to redivide them, how to resettle the Qin people who migrate, and so on.

The territory is too big, the population is too large, and there are countless troubles, even if he keeps eating the elixir, the ancestral dragon will not be able to bear it.

Li Yunze saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't mean to help at all.

In fact, there was nothing he could do to help.

Zu Long is a person with a strong desire to control, even if he travels tens of thousands of miles to the west, he insists on writing a letter to Fusu who is far away in Xianyang every few days, arranging for Fusu to do this, and that thing should be so dry.

In this case, how can Li Yunze help him?

Did he say to Zu Long, 'I have also been an emperor, and I have done it several times.' I'm clear about all these things, you get up, I'll do it? ’

Facing the ancestral dragon who stayed up until dawn every day and ate the so-called elixir as a meal every day, Li Yunze just shook his head and left.

The western expedition has been completed, and Zu Long can be regarded as a ball captain in the true sense.

This time, the world's wish has been fulfilled, and Li Yunze has nothing to do.

The only thing he was waiting for now was to take away the reward that Zu Long had promised him years ago.

After spending a great deal of energy and painstaking efforts, Zulong finally completed the preliminary arrangements for various places on both sides of the West Sea.

This trip to the west took several years, and it was time to return to Xianyang City.

After all, although he trusted Fusu very much, he even arranged for him to serve as a supervisor of the country and act as the emperor during his western tour.

But Zulong is the emperor after all, and he is an emperor with a strong desire for power, so he can't wait to return to Xianyang City, the center of power in the whole world.

The mighty fleet docked on the east shore of the Far West Sea, and there was a railway line out of the harbor, and Zulong's special train stopped on it and waited quietly.

Zu Long didn't even see the officials who came to see him off, so he got into the car and urged him to leave and return quickly.

Because there is a train to travel, there is no need to walk on both legs, and according to the scientific and technological strength at this time, it will take more than a month to return.

And if you use your legs, the unit must be years, and it's hard to say how many years it is.

The Western Expedition is over, and so is the Western Tour.

The world that originally seemed to be raging in war seemed to have fallen silent all of a sudden.

On the way east, you can see through the window that the people are busy on the fertile soil along the way.

Li Yunze also came back, and he sat in the car very quietly.

The matter of cultivating the ancestral dragon to become the ball captain has been completed, and he is still here, just waiting.

From his point of view, he can naturally see that with the perennial fatigue and overdraft of his body, Zu Long has already run out of oil and lamps, and he may become the first emperor to die at any time.

The train traveled eastward all the way, and Zu Long, who was on the car, was still constantly dealing with all kinds of notes, and almost all the large stations along the way would send up official documents weighing hundreds of catties and piling up for a long time for the emperor to read.

Zulong is still maintaining a high-intensity labor state.

As for Li Yunze, on the contrary, he eats well and sleeps well.

When the train stopped to add water and coal, he also went out for a few laps.

Just like that, I stopped and stopped, and finally came to Xingxing Gorge a month later.

As the place where the ancestral dragon was attacked, at this time, Xingxing Gorge was already incarnated into a large military camp, and on the hills on both sides of the road, there were Qin troops stationed there, and the assassins would not be given the slightest chance.

At this time, it was already evening, and Li Yunze, who was sitting on a chair and watching the scenery along the way, suddenly heard a panicked sound coming from Zu Long's carriage.

His perception is super strong, and his hearing is naturally very outstanding.

I heard very clearly 'Your Majesty fainted~~~'

Please sigh, Li Yunze got up and walked to the carriage door.

The palace guard at the door wanted to stop him, but he easily knocked him unconscious.

The locked door was very firm, but Li Yunze kicked it over, kicked the door deformed and twisted, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The lavishly decorated carriage is clear at a glance, and the ancestral dragon lying on the bed is like gold paper, while the side is surrounded by eunuchs and monks.

Li Yunze didn't pay attention to Zhao Gao and others, and simply stepped forward and came to Zu Long.

Zu Long, who was as angry as a gossamer, wanted to say something to Li Yunze, but it was difficult to say a word.

Li Yunze knew very well that this was a burst of blood vessels in the brain and cerebral congestion.

"The crown prince Fusu succeeds to the throne?"

Zu Long's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he nodded with difficulty.

"Zhao Gao just wanted to control the news, did he want to kill him?"

Zu Long still moved his jaw slowly.

"Dispose of them all?"

"Hmm"

"I'll take care of these things." Li Yunze bowed his head lightly, "Go with peace of mind." ”

Zu Long's eyes stared at Li Yunze, and then gradually began to dissipate, until finally he was silent.

Li Yunze, who sighed, raised his hand to cover Zu Long's eyelids, and then turned to look at the frightened Zhao Gao and others, "Go and accompany the First Emperor." ”

Half a month later, Fusu, who hurriedly completed the enthronement ceremony, returned to the imperial study to prepare for the important ministers to study major matters.

But when I came back, I saw a note on the bookcase.

He recognized the note as Taifu's.

The note was very simple: 'I took the reward that the First Emperor promised me. ’

Fusu rummaged through it suspiciously, and finally noticed in shock that the jade seal of the country was gone!
