my grandfather was qin shi huang

In the main hall, everyone couldn't help but look at Xu Fu. Even the First Emperor couldn't help but stare at the antique-looking cloth in Xu Fu's hand with a puzzled expression.

Xu Fu's expression could not be seen through the cloth, but Xu Fu's voice was very steady and no emotion could be heard.

"Your Majesty, this time I went overseas, I was indeed lucky enough to encounter the fairy mountains, and I also saw the immortals in the sky from a distance in the misty clouds. However, my luck was so shallow that I was unable to knock on the door and enter——"

When the First Emperor heard this, his smile gradually disappeared, and his eyes were filled with a searching look.

"Although I could not be summoned by the Immortal, I was sent by the Immortal Big Fish to send this ancient secret map and ordered it to be forwarded to Your Majesty..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he immediately looked at the map held in Xu Fu's hand.

"Submit—"

After receiving the signal from the First Emperor, Zhao Gao walked quickly to Xu Fu, stretched out his hands to take the map, and then handed it to the First Emperor's case respectfully.

The First Emperor just glanced at him, his eyes froze for a moment, and then he looked to the side, stretching his neck, looking at Zhao Ying curiously.

Then, he calmly and slowly placed the map on the desks, looking at Xu Fu who was still standing respectfully in the hall, his voice was calm, and there was no hint of joy or anger.

"The Immortal asked Big Fish to forward this map. What news did he convey..."

Xu Fu bowed deeply and said in a deep voice.

"Big Fish Legend says that your Majesty is an emperor for all eternity, which has never been seen before since ancient times. However, the emperor's favor has never been extended overseas. Therefore, although the blessings are abundant, the immortal destiny has not yet arrived. The medicine of immortality has not yet arrived. , don’t take it lightly for the time being..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he stared at Xu Fu deeply and looked at it carefully for a moment. Then he withdrew his gaze and stared closely at the so-called secret map of immortals that was presented to him, without saying a word for a long time.

Although Xu Fu seemed calm, his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

However, he had rehearsed the scene in front of him countless times in his mind on the way, and his face could barely maintain his composure, without any abnormalities visible.

Just when his heart was about to reach his throat, the First Emperor suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly and let out a hearty laugh.

"Since the immortal sent the message, I will take it upon myself to be successful. I will send someone to the sea on a selected day, so that my blessings will increase overseas..."

Hearing this, Xu Fu's heart suddenly relaxed. Once the crisis was temporarily lifted, the attributes of Xu Fu's magic stick suddenly took over again.

He raised his head, smiled and cupped his hands at the First Emperor, and thanked him solemnly.

"Your Majesty is wise and the immortals will be delighted to know what your Majesty has done today - if your Majesty does not have a suitable candidate, I am familiar with the location of overseas islands and have several years of sailing experience. I am willing to follow your Majesty's army and do the hard work of dogs and horses..."

Having said that, I bowed deeply again.

"Please have your Majesty's mercy. Privately, I also want to take advantage of Your Majesty's blessings to do my little bit for the immortals. Let's see if I can also seek a chance to be immortal..."

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor looked at Xu Fu with approval and nodded slightly.

"Since Master Xu has such good intentions, I can do whatever I want—"

The first mission has been successfully accomplished, and the life-and-death crisis is temporarily over!

Xu Fu glanced at his eldest grandson Zhao Ying with great interest. Looking at the tall grandson of the emperor, who was kneeling beside the First Emperor, looking like a dragon and a tiger, Xu Fu couldn't help but think of the so-called glimmer of hope in "Zhang Liang's" mouth.

He felt that he had almost passed the life-and-death crisis, but he didn't dare to gamble.

The main reason is that Huang Shigong is so famous that in this era, he is almost equated with the legendary land gods.

In the past, he naturally didn't believe this. After all, he himself was a veteran magician.

But yesterday, what Huang Shigong asked his disciple Zhang Liang to pass on was so accurate that it was incredible.

There is no way to explain it except that he can predict the future and read people's hearts like the legendary immortals.

So, he took a deep breath, looked at the First Emperor sitting high in the hall, and continued his performance.

"Your Majesty, the Immortal asked Big Fish to inform you that the elixirs currently used by your Majesty are all "fake elixirs"..."

As soon as Xu Fu said this, Zhao Gao suddenly became excited, his heart beat wildly, and his sweat instantly wet his inner clothes.

After all, all the elixirs that the First Emperor had taken over the years were handled by him. If these elixirs were all fake elixirs, then he would really be in trouble.

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but stare at Xu Fu, who was standing calmly in the hall, and looked at Zhao Gao, who was already sweating on his forehead, as if he didn't see him.

Open the bow without turning back the arrow.

Now that he has spoken, Xu Fu has no way out.

"The Immortal once said that all the elixirs passed down in the world are fake elixirs. Taking this elixir is not only useless, but if taken for many years, it will gradually erode and destroy a person's health..."

When Zhao Gao heard this, his legs suddenly softened and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, please be aware that the elixirs I offer to you are all made by the elixir master Han Zhong and others. Not only are they beautiful in color and quality, but they are also fragrant. What's more, after taking them, Your Majesty felt refreshed. , Xu Fu—I can’t believe Master Xu’s words today..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, and looked at Xu Fu in the hall with eyes like lightning.

Xu Fu knew that he had no room to retreat and could only believe that Huang Shigong really knew everything, just like a ghost.

"Your Majesty, I have taken pills before and found nothing wrong with it, so I just conveyed the immortal's words. It is related to immortal fate, and I dare not speak nonsense..."

Speaking of which, Xu Fu said.

"Fortunately, the great fish minister must have been as confused as he is today, so when he was leaving, he asked me to tell him how to identify the authenticity of elixirs. Although true elixirs cannot live forever, they can also have the effect of prolonging life, while fake elixirs contain Chronic and highly poisonous, over time, it will be difficult to save even needles and stones, and gods will have no skills..."

Having said this, Xu Fu took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at the First Emperor, whose face had become more and more serious.

"Your Majesty, Da Yuyan, if you want to prove this, it is actually very simple. People feel fine after taking it, but they just take too little elixir every day. If they take too much pseudo-elixir at one time, it is enough to kill an adult instantly... "

After hearing this, the First Emperor completely lost his original composure. He subconsciously glanced at the stunned Zhao Ying, with a look of fear in his eyes.

Just before breakfast today, my eldest grandson, whom I have high hopes for, was thinking about saving up the elixirs and taking them together.

If we follow Xu Fu's statement, wouldn't it be...

The consequences could be disastrous!

When he thought of this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and was filled with fear. At this time, there was already a hint of cold murderous intent in Zhao Gao's eyes.

This made him even more angry than hearing that the pills he took would corrode and destroy his body.

Zhao Gao heard the words and felt the overwhelming anger of the First Emperor. Even though he was kneeling on the ground, he still could not maintain his composure.

"His Majesty……"

There was already a hint of trembling in Zhao Gao's voice.

There is no way. The method Xu Fu said is too detailed and too easy to verify. Unless Xu Fu wants to die, otherwise——

Zhao Gao himself began to doubt that Xu Fu's words were probably true.

At this time, he thought that he and the First Emperor coincided with each other again, and there was a tacit understanding between the emperor and his ministers.

The First Emperor's eyes were cold.

"Come here and pass on my decree, so that Han Zhong and other people who are good at refining elixirs can come to see me with the elixirs they have refined..."

verify!

It must be verified immediately in public today——

When he thought that if this incident was true, he would have almost killed his eldest grandson, who he had high hopes for and was so talented, the First Emperor was frightened again and again, and he only wanted to kill someone.

The First Emperor became angry, and everyone in the hall suddenly trembled, and you could hear a needle drop.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a chuckle coming from the main hall.

"Are you waiting for the elixir to be verified?"

Looking at Zhao Ying, who had a brisk expression and didn't even realize that he had almost encountered something, the First Emperor couldn't help but feel scared and happy at the same time. He even felt a sense of happiness in his heart that he had regained something, and his voice softened a bit unconsciously.

"nature--"

Zhao Ying smiled when he heard this.

"Why go to such trouble? The amount of poison required to poison an adult is naturally different from poisoning a bird. If you want to see the results as soon as possible, you might as well just try it on a bird -"

First Emperor:……

Sure enough, my eldest grandson is still smart!

"Come here, get a bird—"

The First Emperor gave an order, and soon a pheasant with gorgeous feathers was delivered from the kitchen.

The First Emperor personally caught the pheasant and asked someone to bring over the elixir that Zhao Gao had just presented yesterday. He opened the chicken's mouth and stuffed seven or eight pills in one breath.

Then, shaking his hands, he threw it onto the hall.

The feathers on the pheasant's wings had already been clipped and it was unable to fly. It flickered its wings in the air a few times before it managed to steady itself in the main hall.

This pheasant was looking around, looking around, probably confused by this sudden encounter.

But he was obviously a little excited, walking back and forth on the ground from time to time, and even once tried to jump on several cases in front of the First Emperor again.

Just as Zhao Gao wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that the pheasant, which was still pacing back and forth excitedly, suddenly fluttered, then twisted its neck, fell directly to the ground, and slowly straightened its claws.

died--

There was deathly silence in the main hall.

The elixir is really poisonous!

The elixirs that the First Emperor usually took were really poisonous——

When Zhao Gao saw this scene, his vision suddenly went dark and he collapsed on the ground. Although he did not refine the elixir, he could not escape his involvement...

Feeling the real anger of the First Emperor.

Zhao Gao didn't know where the strength came from, and he suddenly struggled to get up from the ground. Without getting up, he advanced on his knees alternately, crawled all the way under the First Emperor's desk, and kowtowed as if pounding garlic.

On his forehead, blood suddenly flowed.

"Your Majesty, spare your life. I deserve death for my crime, but I really don't know anything about this matter. You know, I still insist on taking it every day - Your Majesty knows it clearly, Your Majesty, please spare your life..."

After saying that, regardless of the blood on his face, he kowtowed.

Looking at Zhao Gao, who was kneeling in front of several cases and looking miserable, the First Emperor's eyes couldn't help but soften.

To be fair, although the matter of the elixir came from Zhao Gao's hands, he was still under his own orders. Even if he ran an errand, he could not escape the blame.

But it is a bit far-fetched to punish him with death.

After all, Zhao Gao himself was also blessing the pills, so he himself should really be kept in the dark. Just like him, he also fell into the trap of those alchemists.

What's more, over the years, Zhao Gao has followed him diligently, and every errand assigned by him has been completed properly.

Sometimes he can put what he wants exactly where he is most accustomed without having to explain it.

To put it simply, over the years, he has become accustomed to having such a person around him, such a person who can always take care of things around him impeccably.

Thinking of this, he already had the idea of ​​​​handling it with care.

What does Zhao Gao do?

He was someone who served the First Emperor specifically and had been with him for many years.

When it comes to understanding the First Emperor, he even knows the First Emperor better than the First Emperor himself.

Just feeling the changes in the aura of the First Emperor, he knew that he would most likely pass this level again!

Just like last time, the First Emperor was reluctant to lose his care. He was already used to his service!

However, was he the only one who could feel the changes in the Emperor's mind?

Zhao Ying spent these days getting along with the First Emperor almost day and night, and he had a photographic memory. He had a meticulous grasp of the First Emperor's micro-expressions. At this time, he was naturally aware of the change in the First Emperor's mind for the first time.

But if he really allowed this bitch to escape, his work would not have been in vain!

To be honest, when traveling overseas, it is just a matter of chasing rabbits and hunting rabbits, incidentally. What he wanted to kill the most was this piece of shit Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao must die!

As long as he is alive, he will have trouble sleeping and eating.

You know, whether it was the demise of his family or the subsequent demise of the Great Qin Empire, it was inseparable from this piece of shit.

But he also knew that the First Emperor's heart had softened.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ying glanced at Zhao Gao who was kneeling on the ground and said to the First Emperor with a smile.

"Father, I feel that Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, has served Dad and worked hard over the years. Although he almost made a big mistake this time, fortunately, it did not cause irreparable consequences..."

Listening to Zhao Ying's words, Zhao Gao almost cried. He could not have imagined that when he was in the most danger, the person who was willing to stand up and speak for him was none other than the emperor's eldest son Zhao, whom he wanted to help the Eighteenth Young Master deal with. Ying!

He suddenly felt a mixture of emotions in his heart, just as he was about to crawl over and kowtow a few times to the kind-hearted Emperor, His Royal Highness.

Just listen to Zhao Ying smiling and saying.

"But the state has national laws and families have family rules. If they are not punished, it may be difficult to convince people's hearts and make people despise the majesty of the Great Father——"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying glanced at Zhao Gao.

"I saw that his ability to drive a carriage is very good. Talents are rare. It is better to exempt Zhao Gao from the Central Vehicle Administration Order, slap on dozens of military sticks as a warning, and leave him to me to be a horseman. Xiong and Jing are now separated. I have an errand and I happen to be short of a good groom..."

Zhao Gao: ...

The First Emperor, who originally wanted to pardon Zhao Gao again, was startled for a moment when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to refuse. But when he saw Zhao Ying's bright and bright eyes, he immediately remembered that such a good grandson of his had almost escaped because of Zhao Ying. That bitch Gao was immediately killed for his dereliction of duty!

Damn it!

"Okay, since Ying'er intercedes for him, let's spare his life -"

Having said this, the First Emperor glanced at Zhao Gao majestically.

"I still haven't thanked the emperor's eldest grandson——"

Zhao Gao was so depressed that he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, looking at Zhao Ying with a resentful and sad look in his eyes.

Did I use you to plead for mercy?

I thank you eight generations of ancestors!

But, what else can he do in this situation?

If you dare to hesitate for even a moment, you are ignorant of what is good and what is good. You will inevitably face the wrath of the First Emperor, the doting devil, and you will die immediately...
