Chapter 63: The First Emperor Serves the Elixir, Shocked!
Hu Hai was still in shock at this time.
Previously, Zhao Gao told him that the demon on the stage was an earth dragon, that is, a crocodile, also known as a pig dragon.
And he has already decided that the demon is the earth dragon, and the villagers are ignorant, so they actually treat a pig dragon as a spirit dragon, which is simply ridiculous and generous.
However, after really seeing this so-called demon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
This is clearly a real Jiao!
Where is the pig podron?
"Zhao Gao misunderstood me!" He spoke in despair.
Li Chao on the side didn't speak, he actually kept peeking at Hu Hai's reaction.
To be honest, Hu Hai's shock at this time made him quite happy in his heart.
Aren't you sure what kind of pig dragon it is? What to say now?
"My guard army is the strongest army in the world, the first emperor's personal soldiers, if you want to kill the demon and evil genus, it is also the thing to kill the dragon!"
"How could you come and kill a pig dragon?"
Of course, he only dared to slander this sentence in his heart, but did not dare to really say it.
However, Hu Hai's appearance is really a bit embarrassing for Li Chao.
After all, Hu Hai was the main general of the 5,000 Guards Army at this time, and it was very likely that he was the second Qin Emperor!
"Don't be impatient, no matter how evil it is, under the front of our guard soldiers, it will also become a pile of rotten meat!" He spoke loudly.
Hearing Li Chao's words, Hu Hai finally came back to his senses, he glanced at Li Chao, and the horror on his face disappeared slightly.
He is also a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, which can be described as not knowing the height of the sky. It's just the first time I've seen this kind of mythical creature, and I'm just a little distracted.
Although this is a legendary spiritual object, but it involves the first emperor's sacrifice to the sky, if you don't cut the sacrifice to the sky, you can't abolish Fusu, so even if you are apprehensive in your heart, Hu Hai still gritted his teeth and wanted to destroy this dragon.
After settling down again, Hu Hai looked at Li Chao: "I don't know how the cavalry captain is going to kill this demon?" ”
Li Chao was right, the strength of the Great Qin sergeants was known to the world, and Hu Hai was also confident in this.
Li Chao also restrained his mind at this time and began to enter the role, he said lightly: "Although the demon has been seen now, I don't know what means it has. You need to test it first. ”
"Please forgive the trespassing!" He saluted Hu Hai solemnly.
And Hu Hai is also as good as flowing: "Ride the captain and act cheaply!" ”
This time, he came to Langyatai to kill the demons, and the main general was Hu Hai instead of Li Chao. However, both Hu Hai and Li Chao know that the real commander can only be Li Chao, but the etiquette of the line must still be there.
Hu Hai has no love for power, and Li Chao is determined. He waved his hand lightly, and in the second car behind him, a shirtless strong man began to beat a big drum vigorously, while another strong man stood up with a black tooth flag and waved it vigorously.
The sound of horses' hooves rang out, and a scout who had been on the third platform suddenly galloped his horse and roared: "General's order: the front army is attacking!" ”
The front army was the five hundred knights from before, and they had already reached the top of the Langya platform at this time, but they did not alarm the demons, but waited for orders on the side of the platform.
They were also always paying attention to the instructions of the Chinese army, and the distance between the two sides was not more than a hundred feet, so they could hear the orders issued by the Chinese army from the sound of drums without waiting for the order.
Therefore, the roar of the scouts started, and a rough voice also came from the west side of the top of the Langya platform: "Everyone dismounts and forms an army formation!" ”
"The sword is in front, and the long soldier is behind!"
"Crossbow bolts into the groove!"
A series of orders were given quickly, and then the sound of the carapace was heard, mixed with the sound of swords and shields colliding, and the sound of crossbow arrows colliding with crossbow boxes.
Although he was a knight, he was not able to fight on horseback at the same time, and when it was time to set up a military formation, he had to dismount and walk.
The hectic voice stopped after only ten breaths, and it was the rough voice from before that roared again: "Wind! ”
"Wind, wind, wind!" A rhythmic chorus sounded, the sound of weapons striking shields, and then a muffled "boom", and it was obvious that the five hundred former troops had begun to advance.
The drums rumbled, and a song came from the top of the Langya platform: "How can you say that there are no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son! ”
"Do you say you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son! ”
"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”
Hu Hai's heart was already shaking at this time!
Although he couldn't see the situation of the front army due to the mountain wall, just listening to the sound coming down from the top of the platform was enough for him to feel an invincible momentum in the world!
"It deserves to be the strongest army in the world!" He sighed heartily.
Glancing in the direction where the voice came from again, Hu Hai said excitedly: "Captain Caidu, can we go up directly from the side of the stage?" ”
The height difference between the second and third floors of Lang Yu Tai is not too high, and the slope of Lang Yu Tai is gentle, although the chariot still cannot go up, but if you abandon the chariot and climb directly from the side of the platform to the top, it is not a difficult task.
That day, Shaoduan and the others climbed all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top of the platform, and it didn't take much time, after all, the total height of Langya was only less than 100 zhang.
"No, general, now the demonic means are unknown, and we will not come to power for the time being. And we still have to guard against evil spirits escaping from here! Li Chao shook his head.
"Let the army stay here, and how about I go up with you?" Hu Hai was already itching at this time.
"Military discipline, the boss must not be taken lightly!" Li Chao reminded lightly.
Hu Hai's face showed a hint of displeasure, and Li Chao also reacted instantly, and hurriedly remedied: "If this is not the case, we will move forward now and stop at the collapse of the top of the platform." ”
"In this way, we can not only see the process of the former army testing the demons, but also be able to hold the bottom of the valley so that the demons will not escape from here!"
"Very good, let's go!" Hu Hai was overjoyed.
At the sound of the order, the army moved forward along the mountain road again, and the distance of a hundred zhang was instantaneous.
The troop cart stopped again, and at this moment, the first row of troop wagons where Hu Hai and Li Chao were located had already arrived at the valley.
This valley was formed by the collapse of the mountain and the erosion of hundreds of years of flowing water. The crack is not deep, the deepest place is only more than ten zhang, and there are traces of cutting from flowing water and ice cubes, but the width is amazing, dozens of zhang.
Originally, the mountain road was also damaged by this rift, but at this time it had been repaired by several stone slabs, which was the work of scouts and former soldiers.
Because the top of the platform is rammed earth, so the vegetation in the crack is not luxuriant, through the sparse solitary trees, Hu Hai and Li Chao can clearly see the north side of more than 100 zhang, that is, the center of Langya Terrace, at this time has formed a large pool.
Due to the angle problem, everyone can't see how deep the waterhole is, but they can see that the whole body of the white Jiao seen before has left the waterhole at this time, and Jackie Chan's pan is stopped at the edge of the waterhole, ready to go.
The dragon plate is different from the snake plate, the snake plate is round, and the dragon plate is to bend the whole body upright into a "several" character. From this point of view, this white Jiao, known as the demon demon, is really majestic, and it is extraordinary at first glance.
And at this moment, it is the five hundred former army that is confronting Bai Jiao. At this time, the five hundred former army had already marched to a place less than thirty zhang away from Bai Jiao, and a bearded military commander rode past in front of the formation, obviously he was the chief officer of the five hundred former army, that is, the five hundred masters.
"Stand up and fight!" The rough voice came again, the first two rows of Qin Jun squatted down abruptly, the shield slammed on the ground, and the Qin Jun in the third and fourth rows also bowed slightly, put the Chang Ge in his hand on the top of the shield, and the tail of the Ge was inserted into the ground.
A hedgehog-like military formation took shape in an instant, and the order of the five hundred lords sounded again.
"Arm spread, thirty zhang, salvo, three shots"
"Arm spread, thirty zhang, salvo, three shots!" A slightly hoarse voice repeated his order, and the sound of a crossbow string vibrating sounded, like countless tired birds throwing into the forest, only to see more than a hundred black dots suddenly fly up, "woo" and fall in the direction of the waterhole!
Hu Hai was dazzled!
The Qin army is brave and good at fighting, but being brave and good at fighting is not the magic weapon that the Qin army can unify the six countries, what really plays a decisive role is the crossbow of the Qin army!
Due to the use of standardized production processes and strict material names, that is, craftsmen must leave their names on the ordnance they process, so that they can be held accountable, the crossbow machines of the Qin army are extremely advanced. Between two different crossbows, the parts can be used in common!
In addition, the Qin army creatively used the assembly line operation method like that of later generations, resulting in an extremely high output of ordnance made by Great Qin craftsmen, and one Great Qin soldier carried fifty crossbow arrows!
On the contrary, there was a sharpshooter in the Chu State who raised Youji, also known as Yang Harrier Ji, and the idiom "100 shots and 100 hits" was born because of him.
In order to maximize the role of Yang Youji on the battlefield, the king of Chu searched the country exhaustively, hoping for straight arrows and flawless feather arrows to provide Yang Yuji with equipment, so that Yang Youji could snipe the enemy generals on the battlefield from a long distance.
As a result, I searched the entire Chu country and only got three flawless feather arrows!
Yang Yuji, a sharpshooter with a hundred shots, only had three perfect feather arrows on his body, while an ordinary Qin soldier carried fifty identical crossbow arrows!
Because of the power of the crossbow arrows, the Qin army's battle formation generally took the widest front. For example, this time, the five hundred lords of the former army directly and heroically put out a horizontal formation of fifty thoroughness!
The strength of the 500 former army this time is assigned to the card soldiers, that is, the shield soldiers are 100, the long soldiers are 100 spearmen, the arms are 100, and the crossbows are 200.
Among them, the arm crossbow is a single operation, and when the hundred generals give an order, it is a hundred cold and shining arrows roaring, flying towards the white Jiao on the side of the waterhole!
Before the 100 bolts landed, the crossbowmen had already begun to wind up quickly, and the "click" sound of reloading the bolts sounded one after another.
And the five hundred lords roared again: "Kick, volley, three shots!" ”
With a sharp roar, the crossbowmen were already ready at this time, and countless black shadows that were much thicker than the crossbows instantly took off into the air and flew straight towards the white Jiao!
The sound of "snatching" sounded overwhelmingly, and Hu Hai was already dizzy at this time.
"I know today that my Great Qin Crossbow Array ......"
"Unparalleled in the world!"
……
At the same time, just when the Qin army wanted to fight with Jiaolong, Langya Palace.
The First Emperor was dressed in a simple linen robe, sitting in front of an incense case in the Asgard Palace.
"Hu Haizhi is very talented, ambitious but unlearned, and easy to anger others."
"And Fusu is known as a virtuous person, but he has hidden wolf ambitions, and after being the son of the Mi family, the DPRK and Thailand are half old enemies."
"The rest of the sons are all busy, and they are not worth mentioning."
"In this way, who can Qin II be?"
The fairy palace is the sleeping palace, today Hu Hai on Langya Tai to kill the demons, and the first emperor is in the palace to carry out fasting and prayer.
He put down his hand and looked at it for many days, but he found nothing, and he didn't even understand a word of the 'Book of Heaven', with a layer of anger on his face.
"This is a book from heaven? It's really ridiculous and generous! ”
The First Emperor snorted angrily, but suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, which made him feel a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
The sensation came so suddenly that he couldn't help but hold his heart.
Then, he looked up and looked deeply at the faint high platform in the distance.
This feeling, it seems to be because of Langya Terrace?
Hu Hai led his troops to behead the "Jiao" to sacrifice to the sky, but what happened over there?
But it feels like it comes and goes quickly.
The feeling of restlessness in his heart disappeared, the First Emperor frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Hu Hai.
He has been scheduled to go to Langyatai five days later to worship the sky, in addition to paying tribute to the god of the four seasons, praying for good weather in Daqin, he still needs to burn the watch to tell the heavens, and wants to abolish the son of Fusu as a concubine.
In these years, it is a matter of no way to abolish the growth and youngness, and the first emperor is not afraid of the world's criticism of him, anyway, he has already memorized countless infamy, and it is no different if there is one more and one less.
The point is that this move will anger the heavens, and if the heavens condemn the world, Daqin will be in danger!
Moreover, Fusu is not without virtue.
He did use immortal things to bewitch the First Emperor, and he had no filial piety.
However, this is really a heart-wrenching statement, and Fusu did not really have a devoid of virtue.
How can you abolish the prince of the country with a punishing heart?
Moreover, after thirty percent of the ministers of the DPRK and China regarded him as a revenge, three percent were still suspicious, and only forty percent of those who really regarded him as the prince of Great Qin.
This is the legacy of the chaotic government of the Qin Palace in the past. In the past, there were three forces within the Qin Palace, Mi Bazi, that is, the Chu forces represented by Mi Yue, the Han forces represented by the Empress Dowager Xia, and the Qin forces.
Among the three, the Qin people were the weakest!
Although the First Emperor has cleared out the Chu forces and the Han forces from the court, there are still many old ones in the court.
These people have different attitudes towards Fusu, and such a king is not a good thing for the dynasty.
However, he has a high reputation among the people, and his name for benevolence is known all over the world.
Today's decision has been made, it is the emperor who has also received the authority of the world, and if there is a benevolent monarch at this time, it is a good thing to cultivate among the people.
As for Hu Hai......
The only reason why the First Emperor could choose him was because of Hu Hai Xiaoji.
Maybe he can grow into a talented emperor on his side?
Coughing slightly, the First Emperor withdrew his gaze.
When he landed in a dragon boat a few days ago, he happened to encounter heavy rain from the sky.
Despite the canopy, he was drenched and soaked.
At this time, it is already the turn of spring and summer, Langya is coastal and not cold, and it is not a big problem to get a little rain.
However, the First Emperor felt a chill, and now he was feverish, coughing and shortness of breath, and he seemed to have the feeling that he couldn't get up in one breath.
"I'm old and want to die!" The First Emperor thought sadly.
His gaze fell on the incense case.
On the incense case, there is a mountain stone, and there are five elegant characters on it.
"Hu Ye, the Dead Qin!"
This is the stone slab that Meng Tian carried back from Yunmeng Mountain, Fusu and Meng Tian have now been imprisoned in the prison of the Guyue Palace, which has been changed to the Tingwei prison since the Langya Palace was built.
As soon as he saw these words, a burst of anger rose in the heart of the First Emperor, and he snorted angrily and looked away.
He was indifferent by nature, had a heart for the world, and took personal emotions very lightly.
And the queen who had her hair knotted said, "Give death, and she shall give death." The most favored concubine, so pampered that she hung her eldest son under her name, and even changed her name to the name of her favorite hometown Xiaofeng, saying "the mountain has Fusu", also because of the conflict with her own concept of destroying the Six Kingdoms, resulting in the other party's depressed and early death.
As for his son, he didn't value it much before.
After all, he is the First Emperor!
He could live forever, but his son couldn't!
He is the king of the people of the world, not the father of Fusu Huhai and others.
However, once he woke up from a dream, the First Emperor had to start thinking about the heir. It was only at this point that the First Emperor realized that he had never truly believed in immortality, nor had he ever truly abandoned his personal emotions in his heart.
Just like his mausoleum, which was repaired a year before he ascended the throne of Qin. Even when he ruled the six kingdoms and refined the elixir of immortality for himself, the mausoleum still did not stop. For this reason, he even sent the most powerful minister, Li Si, to levy millions of people in order to complete it as soon as possible.
That's why he gets angry when he sees the slate. Hu Hai is not filial piety, and even if Fusu is not filial piety, he is much stronger than Hu Hai.
But Er is my eldest son, Er is the son of benevolence and kindness in the world, and Er is the Fusu of "the mountain has Fusu, and Xi has Hehua"!
How can this be?
This may be a kind of psychology of being deceived.
His gaze skipped over the slate and landed on a package.
The package was made of a cloak, and there were traces of arrows and swords on it, and it was clear that the owner of the cloak was a brave warrior who had braved arrows and stones countless times to take the lead in the battle!
Needless to say, the owner of this cloak is Meng Tian.
The First Emperor sighed slightly, and he glanced around. Fasting is a ritual that must be performed before worshipping heaven and earth, and no woman or crippled person is allowed to be present except those who are fasting.
And here is the fairy palace, that is, the sleeping palace, also called the harem, except for the concubine beauty and the inner servant, there is no man.
Therefore, the First Emperor was the only one in the quiet room.
With a hint of indescribable emotion, the First Emperor opened the package, and a small handful of medicinal powder appeared in front of the First Emperor's eyes.
The medicinal powder is very ordinary, pale cyan, and at first glance it is a genus of plants and trees, not gold and stone.
The First Emperor frowned slightly.
In these years, herbal medicines are very ordinary, and most of the precious medicines, such as ginseng, snow lotus, etc., will not be discovered until later generations.
Therefore, the really precious medicine is generally the genus of gold and stone, such as cinnabar, jade, etc., the more expensive everyone thinks the better the effect.
The First Emperor was not exempt from vulgarity, he didn't know, what was Meng Tian's intention to come back with such a bag of herbs and trees after traveling thousands of miles?
Even if it is to deceive yourself, are you reluctant to use some pearl grinding powder?
"And say that this is the elixir residue left by the celestials?"
"I'm afraid it's the same as the book of heaven, it's all a deception! Useless! ”
He snorted coldly, ready to push the burden aside. But as soon as the hand moved to wrap it, a fragrant smell spread.
The First Emperor's nose moved slightly, and his eyes were slightly condensed.
In these years, whether it is incense or incense, it is burned on a stove, and the best incense is sandalwood sawdust.
For example, on the incense table in front of the First Emperor, there is an incense burner at this moment, and green smoke rises from the mouth of the stove.
Sandalwood is indeed a good fragrance, but it is too strong, and there is always a lingering smell of fireworks.
And the fragrance from the baggage is fresh and refined, and the smell makes people feel refreshed!
What surprised the First Emperor even more was that this cold fragrance entered his lungs, which made him feel like a smoky fire in his lungs, and it was instantly cool!
The First Emperor's heart moved slightly.
Fusu and the others guessed correctly, although the First Emperor did not take the elixir of immortality refined by Fang Shi, he did take the pill refined by Fang Shi.
That kind of elixir is called stone medicine, and it is refined from the genus of five kinds of gold and stone.
Realgar, sulfur, red stone, turquoise, amethyst, five kinds of grinding into powder, refining into red pills, and then taking with water.
After taking it, the whole body is hot, the spirit is uplifted, even if you travel dozens of miles in one breath, you don't feel tired!
At that time, in order to prevent his whereabouts from being known to outsiders, the First Emperor had to move between the two hundred and seventy palaces every day, relying on his own legs and relying on the effect of stone medicine.
Whenever he took stone medicine and walked on the palace corridor, he would feel like he was fluttering.
Because of this, the First Emperor believed in Fangshi, and only because of this that the stone medicine was indeed miraculous.
However, as soon as the matter of Fang Shi deceiving the First Emperor broke out, the First Emperor realized at this time that his body had deteriorated!
According to Xia Wuhe's statement, the genus of gold and stone hurts the lungs, and the first emperor also feels shortness of breath day by day, and if this continues, the first emperor estimates that he may not be able to eat next year's new wheat.
The First Emperor's brows began to furrow, and he stared at the small handful of medicinal residues in front of him, and fell into a deep groan.
Let's not talk about whether Fusu is benevolent or not, the Meng family has been loyal and brave for generations. Especially in the generation of the Meng family, Meng Tian is a general, Jiuqing of the Great Qin Dynasty, and his younger brother Meng Yi is also Shangqing, the confidant of the first emperor.
One of the two brothers was in charge of the army and commanded the army abroad. One is in the middle of the court, as the confidant of the first emperor and as the secretary. This is not a big deal!
Moreover, Meng Tian is now the only famous general of Great Qin, and he is also the only general, with a transcendent status.
He only needs to be loyal to the First Emperor, whether Fusu or Hu Hai ascends the throne, he still has to rely on him, and there is no need to throw himself on either side at all.
In this way, what benefits can Fusu use to impress Meng Tian?
Why did Meng Tian have to deceive Emperor Yu Shi together with Fusu?
Looking at the medicine residue in front of him, the First Emperor couldn't help but stretch out a hand and grab a little bit from it.
Then put it to your mouth, just take it with water, and take it in one mouth.
He knew he shouldn't do it, but he didn't know why, he couldn't help it when he smelled the refreshing fragrance of the grass and trees, and felt the rare coolness in his lungs.
Especially when I think about it, I can't think of why Meng Tian betrayed him.
Perhaps, Meng Tian was only deceived by Fusu?
At least one thing the First Emperor was able to confirm. He had asked Xia Wuhe before, the poison of the genus of plants and trees was very weak, and if taken in small amounts, it would not be fatal!
In that case, even if it's for a moment of relaxation, it doesn't hurt to try!
A cool feeling suddenly rose from his throat, then spread downward, and the First Emperor coughed lightly and comfortably.
The next moment, as if a switch had been touched, a violent cough suddenly erupted from the mouth of the First Emperor, and he instantly coughed all over his face, and a trace of black and red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Tick!
Blood dripped down and fell on the 'Book of Heaven', turning red.
He only felt that he was dizzy in an instant, and with a bang, his whole body instantly lost his balance, and he fell to the side fiercely, knocking the bronze incense burner to the ground.
Boom!
The sound of the bronze incense burner attracted the attention of the waiters outside the door, and just as the First Emperor was about to lose consciousness, he heard the door being opened, and an earth-shattering scream rang out.
"Oh no, the First Emperor has been assassinated!"
