443. Princelings

Since it is the past of Penglai, then for Qianyun, it is naturally history.

Although the First Emperor hid and buried a lot of history in order to facilitate his rule, the legend of seeking medicine has always been circulated, so Qiao Du was a little curious about what happened to the person who asked for medicine at that time.

"I don't have any impression of asking for medicine, but among the officials of the court, I don't seem to have heard of anyone who asked for immortal medicine at that time."

Qianyun pondered for a while before answering.

"Maybe the medicine envoy was accepted by the death judge because there was no elixir."

Kiriyama pondered, he probably also knew the social composition of Penglai and some special events.

"Why didn't they eat it directly when they got the elixir, and they had to go back?"

Qiao Du was curious again.

In Suiming Village before, those death judges who escorted the elixir were all ill-intentioned, and they still couldn't withstand the temptation of immortality when they knew that they would be wiped out, and they fell into the grass, and even really hid for thousands of years.

Now, if this team of people really finds the elixir, there will be a few traitors from the high and low places, and they will run away after taking the medicine.

Moreover, according to Qiao Dui's observation, the ordinary people in Penglai eat ordinary immortal medicine, only the First Emperor may be the complete version, this immortal elixir must also bring power, in this case, if these current medicine seekers get the medicine and eat it themselves, wouldn't they be able to become the First Emperor?

"Maybe that's loyalty."

Asuimo muttered.

"This is foolishness!"

Qiao Du couldn't help but sigh, fortunately, no one else understood what he said, otherwise the people around him would probably have to cut off his head again.

Just like now, hearing Qiao Dui's words that seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, the medicine envoy Hui Jiang turned his head and looked at the three strange strangers.

"The weather is great today!"

Qiao Du showed a sunny and cheerful smile and waved to the other party to say hello.

Hui Jianghu nodded suspiciously and turned his head back.

"My lord, I always feel that those three people are uneasy and kind."

Hui Jiang persuaded him.

Although these three people seem to have special skills, just like the Taoist who has refined the immortal elixir in the rumor, who can guarantee that they are not coming for the immortal elixir and will not have bad intentions on the way?

"Lord Huijiang doesn't know, Your Majesty once told me before I traveled that I would meet three nobles to help me on this trip, and I think they are the nobles in Your Majesty's mouth."

Xu Fu said in a low voice.

"Noble?"

Huijiang really didn't know this, but Xu Fu's status was higher than him, and it was not surprising that the emperor only told Xu Fu about many things on this long trip.

He was not a descendant of Xu Fu, but a representative of another faction in the DPRK and China.

This is not the first time that the emperor has sent a medicine envoy to find the elixir of immortality, the previous six times, either there was an accident halfway and was harmed by demons, or the news was false, and the search was fruitless, this seventh time, Hui Jiang estimated that it should be the last time.

Because the emperor was old and terminally ill, he hurriedly sent someone to ask for medicine, if they encountered any trouble on the way, it is estimated that the old emperor would die before they could go back.

It is precisely for this reason that the two factions of the DPRK and China will seize the last chance.

Xu Fu is considered a royalist, loyal to the emperor, and belongs to the emperor's cronies, so he is naturally in charge of the overall situation.

And Huijiang, although he is also a neutral minister on the surface, has actually taken refuge in the prince's faction.

The idea of the prince's faction is very simple, that is, to delay the progress of the medicine seeking team as much as possible.

After all, if he really asked for the elixir of immortality, wouldn't the old emperor not die.

In this way, the position of the prince is really like sitting on pins and needles.

After all, there is no eighty-year-old prince in the world, and if the old emperor is immortal, what is the use of the prince, it will only become a hidden danger to his own great cause.

But who doesn't want to live forever, even the crown prince thinks so.

Therefore, Hui Jiang's task is to slow down the speed of the team while ensuring that the elixir can be found, and wait until the old emperor dies to return to the court.

In this way, the crown prince will be able to live forever and achieve great things for a thousand years.

The balance between the two factions is a foreshadowing of this journey.

"My father died after several failed attempts to get medicine, but this time it was different, and this time we had to succeed."

Xu Fu continued.

He is indeed a very decent person, Xu Fu's father was the first batch of medicine envoys, as early as when the emperor was young, he set out to find the elixir, but the first time he returned in vain, and the second time he encountered evil and died, Xu Fu's family can be said to have a lot to do with this elixir.

"If the adults can succeed in obtaining the immortal medicine, then we can be regarded as the glory of the ancestors."

Hui Jiang replied and looked into the distance.

"He looks like he's upright."

Qiao Dui's Shunfeng ear heard the conversation between the two and commented in a low voice.

"Maybe they did get the elixir in the end, but they didn't go back."

Kiriyama had a serious expression.

"Now we can know that the emperor is terminally ill, and the immortal elixir can make people gain extraordinary power, so it is possible that Xu Fu and they got the immortal medicine, but did not return to the palace, but took it for themselves, and overthrew the current emperor after taking it."

After all, Penglai has always said that the first emperor and the first emperor, and no one has really seen him.

Although the legend of this medicine envoy is there, it may not have been made up by the rebellious Xu Fu in order to shape his own legitimacy.

Who can really tell what happened tens of thousands of years ago?

"They say there's a demon here, what pig do you have?"

Qiao Twilight looked at the light clouds.

"There should be no pigs here."

Asamu replied earnestly.

"Regret."

Qiao Du regretted this.

"I think he means he wants to ask Penglai if there is a corresponding legend of the demon."

Kiriyama helped Qiao Du explain.

"What are you doing, Ah Shan, doesn't this explanation of the joke mean that no one understands my words at all!"

Qiao Du objected.

Asamu thought for a moment.

"There is indeed a record of demons and evils, saying that before the first emperor asked for the elixir, there were demonic monsters on the earth, and they slaughtered living beings, until the first emperor granted amnesty to the world, those demons and evil spirits gradually disappeared, in my time, it is almost impossible to see, but those immortal animals are more dangerous."

She replied.

"So you don't know what the demon looks like?"

Kiriyama confirmed.

"Hmm."

Light Cloud nodded.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead.

"You guys, is there a possibility that the demons are attacking?"

Qiao Dui felt something in her heart and had a whim.

"Don't crow's mouth."

Kiriyama said a word and got up to check.

The team stopped, and the general of the guard, Nanzhou, arrived at the front of the team, not knowing what was happening.

"I'll take a look."

Kiriyama got out of the car and followed him to the front of the team, and he saw that at the end of the woods, there was a post road, which was supposed to be the direction of the team, but it was occupied by a group of homeless people.

The group of homeless people were ragged, yellow-skinned, and looked like they hadn't eaten for days.

They gathered at the front of the procession and blocked the way.

"Lord Qingtian, be kind enough to enjoy the food."

The old man knelt in front of the carriage and kept kowtowing.
