Since the Qi capital Linzi was occupied by the Qin army and gradually declined, Xianyang has become the most brilliant and prosperous city in the entire land of China.

On both sides of the Wei River, there are emperor's palaces everywhere, and the atmosphere is magnificent. In Xianyang City, the mansions are also lined up one after another, arranged in an orderly manner.

If you want to have a big mansion in the Xianyang Imperial Capital, you must not only have money, but also have the corresponding high status.

A large mansion adjacent to Weishui is the most expensive of them, and even those who are higher on the left such as Shima and Li Shiqi cannot buy it here. Only the Zuo Prime Minister Wang Xuan, or the important ministers of the court such as Wang Wu, the governor of Su Neishi, are qualified to settle here.

However, the owner of one of the mansions was only a man with the title of the right lord.

Li You stood in the courtyard, looking up at the blue sky that could not be seen at a glance.

The solemn and solemn sound of bells and drums came from the Xianyang Palace on the north bank of Weishui.

Along with the sound of bells and drums, there are majestic and mighty hymns, as well as waves of cheers.

This is the triumphal ceremony specially held for them by the emperor after the return of meritorious service, which is the supreme glory that belongs to every Qin general.

"Do I have such moments?"

Li You whispered to himself, and when he heard the bursts of cheers, he felt panic in his chest.

Reminiscing about his years of conquest.

In the first battle, he followed Li Xin and defeated Chu.

World War II followed Wang Jian to destroy Chu and was defeated.

Instead, he went to attack the Yiren of Nanjun and won.

It's a pity that it was only a victory that was almost negligible, and it was impossible to enjoy such glory.

After that, Li You served as the lieutenant of Shu County, and accepted the important mission of the emperor to conquer the southwest Yi and subdue the Dian State.

It's a pity that he lost.

So now that the triumphant outside, it is the Qin general Ren who has just annihilated the Dian Kingdom and won a great victory in the southwest.

"Fate."

Li You let out a long breath, thinking back to what the priest named Xu Shi had told him before.

Destiny is determined by heaven, and man can overcome heaven.

The road of cultivating immortals is the way to change one's life against the sky.

Once you become an immortal, you can not only live forever, but also have the ability to fly to the sky and move mountains and seas.

As long as he Li You can succeed in cultivating immortals, Shuqi's fate can naturally be suppressed.

Li You didn't know if what the monks said was true or not, and if he wanted to come to the emperor, he would believe it, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

"I, Li You, want to cultivate immortals, and I want to change my life against the sky! When I become an immortal, everything will not be a problem! ”

Li You's eyes showed a look of determination, and the panic in his chest suddenly disappeared for the most part, and he was no longer bothered by the bursts of cheers coming from outside the mansion.

He turned and walked back into the room, still muttering the mantras taught by the alchemists.

"Void God, deity into gas, gas into form, form into birth and all things are stuffed. The form of gas, the gas of God, the god of emptiness, the void and the reason why all things are connected. ”

……

"General Ren is so majestic!"

Han Xin stood on a high place, looking at the Qin general Ren Huan, who was sitting on a tall horse in the distance, and was leading meritorious soldiers into the city, his face was full of envy.

As Han Xin said, at this moment, Ren Huan was dressed in exquisite armor, with a mighty crown on his head and a gorgeous long sword on his waist, which looked very powerful, exactly what all the young people imagined in their hearts.

Behind Ren Huan's war horse, there were also heavily armed Qin soldiers holding spears and halberds, striding forward with their heads held high.

The Qin people of Xianyang stood on both sides, welcoming them and cheering with joy.

In the distance of the Qin Palace, there are bells and drums that keep echoing.

The whole scene was full of warm atmosphere, which was enough to compare with the last time Zhao Tuo came back from the Northern Expedition.

"Shame on me for Daqin Yixue, General Ren is good!"

"When General Ren attacked Chu, he captured the right Sima of Chu State, and now he has exterminated the Dian State and defeated the Southwest Yi, he is really a famous general of my Great Qin!"

"I heard that General Ren is a friend of the martial arts marquis, no wonder he has such a ability, it is really very different from the previous Shuqi County Captain."

The Qin people were talking about it, and their expressions were very excited.

The reason for this is probably the defeat of the Qin army in the southwest last time, which cast a shadow on the hearts of all Qin people.

They never expected that the invincible Qin army, which swept through the princes of the six countries and smashed the Hu people in the north, would be defeated at the hands of a group of barbarians in the southwest mountains and forests.

Disgrace!

What a great shame!

Because the leader is Li You, it is not surprising that the Qin people are a little more tolerant.

But the revenge of defeat is ultimately a shame before it can be rested, so this time Ren's big victory can arouse the emotions of the Qin people even more.

Compared to Han Xin's focus on Ren Huan and Qin Jun's majestic might, Zhao Tuo's gaze swept back from behind Ren Huan.

Chen Ping is dark, and there are a lot of vicissitudes.

He sat on a war horse, following Ren Huan to accept the cheers of the crowd, and his face was full of excited smiles.

"Chen Ping was an official doctor before, at least he can get a public doctor this time, or when the emperor is happy, it is possible to directly promote him to the public doctor."

Zhao Tuo laughed, Chen Ping, this kid, because he joined his Zhao family party late, and he was a civilian who did not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the promotion of his title has been slow.

However, he is also a very utilitarian character, and after the Northern Expedition, he was bent on being promoted, so he took advantage of the moment when Ren Huan set out to ask for orders to follow.

Zhao Tuo knew Chen Ping's thoughts, and thought that he had always been wise, and with Chen Ping's follow-up and assistance, Ren Huan's expedition to the southwest would be smoother, so he readily agreed.

Now it's a happy ending.

Zhao Tuo's gaze moved back from Chen Ping again.

Among the heavily armed Qin pawns was a group of prisoners of war who were driven forward.

There were subtle differences between them, some of them dressed like Chu people, and Zhao Tuo guessed that they might be nobles from the Dian Kingdom.

There were also many brown-skinned men, mostly naked, wrapped in felt cloths, with loose hair, tattoos on their faces, wild beasts, and even rings on their noses.

Anyway, all kinds of them, not the same as the Central Plains.

According to the battle report sent to Xianyang by Ren Huan before, among the prisoners escorted this time, in addition to some Dian people, there were also people from other tribes such as Qiongdu, Ailao, and Kunming.

Because of the intimidation of the Qin army's military might, these tribes surrendered without a fight, and directly tied up the war criminals who had killed the Qin army's prisoners and sent them to Ren Huan's hands to avoid the scourge of swords.

However, they all look similar, and they are mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish their respective nationalities and identities.

"These southwestern Yi are really dark."

Han Xin pouted beside him.

Zhao Tuo shook his head.

What kind of darkness is this, compared to the other races he had seen in his previous life, these Southwest Yi people were nothing at all.

However, the Qin people in Xianyang looked strange, shouting one by one, and making all kinds of impolite comments.

Their exclamations reached the extreme when they saw a large carriage escorted by Qin guards behind the captives.

"Bai Zhen!"

"It's Pixiu!"

"Oh my God, I can still see this beast!"

Zhao Tuo's eyes also widened, looking at the highlight of this triumphal ceremony, the two precious beasts that were presented to the emperor by the southwestern tribe.

Pixiu!

Han Xin exclaimed beside him: "It is said that the ancient Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor collected Xiong Zhen Pixiu Tiger and used it as an army to fight with Emperor Yan in the field of Hanquan. I think it's this kind of beast, Junhou, I think this Pixiu is quite big, and I don't know how powerful they are, can they really be used for conquest after domestication? ”

Facing Han Xin's inquiry, Zhao Tuo's face was strange.

This guy with two black circles under his eyes, black and white staggered on his body, chubby, and round.

Is it the legendary beast Pixiu that was used by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor to conquer the world?

Zhao Tuo looked at it again and again, crying and laughing in his heart, and directly ignored Han Xin's question.

Seeing Pixiu's true body, this triumphal ceremony was not attractive to Zhao Tuo, his eyes habitually swept back, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Because in the rear of this Qin army that was dedicated to prisoners, there was a strange team, and judging by their standard treatment, it seemed that they were not prisoners of the Qin army, but envoys of small states who paid tribute.

There are not many of them, about twenty people.

Their appearance is very peculiar, their dress is very exotic at a glance, and it is very different from those in the southwest in front of them, and it has caused exclamations and discussions among the onlookers of Qin.

Its leader is tall and fair-skinned, and when viewed from afar, it is very dazzling.

Behind the man, there were two more men with slightly lighter complexions.

As for the rest, they were all obviously shorter and dark-skinned people, and by looking at their attire, they knew that they were the servant retinue of the former.

"White people?"

Zhao Tuo's face was full of surprise, and his brows jumped.

He could see very clearly that those people had fair skin, deep-set eyes, a high and narrow nose, and a proper Caucasian appearance.

"How can there be whites over there?"
