Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Now that Li Si knew about it, he could not help but be on guard. He realized that he might have become a pawn that Zhao Gao and Meng Tian were preparing before Fusu came to power. However, it was obviously inappropriate to go directly to Zhao Gao to question him, because doing so would appear too impulsive and reckless.

At the same time, Gao Yao actually took the initiative to send people to come to him. His purpose was self-evident. He obviously wanted to cooperate with him. Li Si still maintained a certain degree of trust in Gao Yao. After all, in front of Qin Shihuang, the firm position and sincere attitude shown by Gao Yao did not seem to be pretended.

In addition, Gao Yao himself was in the southern border, far away from the political center of Xianyang, which made him more trustworthy. However, Li Si really couldn't think of any means or strategies that Gao Yao could use in the city of Xianyang to play an important role in possible future conflicts.

Just as Li Si was lost in thought, a servant came running to report: "Prime Minister, there is a visitor at the door, claiming to be an old friend of yours, and has something important to report."

Hearing this, Li Si could not help but frowned and said sternly: "How many times have I told you that I will not see anyone without a visiting card!"

The servant replied respectfully: "Yes."

Li Si was thinking in his mind as he walked into the courtyard. He was about to send someone to keep an eye on Zhao Gao, but the words stopped at his lips. The reason why the people Zhao Gao wanted to send had to meet in a secret room had been explained to Li Si at that time. Zhao Gao sent many people to keep an eye on Li Si's mansion inside and outside, and he also specially emphasized the word "inside".

This was almost like telling Li Si in disguise that Zhao Gao also had spies in Li Si's mansion, which forced Li Si to give up the idea of ​​finding someone to monitor Zhao Gao. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like telling Gao Gao that he had noticed something was wrong?

Li Si also found that he was too relaxed. Zhao Gao, a newly promoted Imperial Chariot Officer, was able to insert his hand into his mansion. How could Li Si be willing to accept this? It was true that he could not alert the enemy.

"Prime Minister, the man at the door did not leave. Instead, he handed me something and said that you would understand after seeing it."

At this time, the servant came to Li Si again to report. When he first heard this, Li Si frowned and instinctively wanted to scold him. However, when he heard that there was something that he could understand at a glance, he was also stunned. He couldn't help but become curious. What on earth is this thing? Can I really understand it at a glance?

He looked at the servant hesitantly, only to see that the servant was holding a wooden sword with a new word carved on it.

At first Li Si was frowning, puzzled, but then his eyes suddenly widened, with an expression of surprise and shock on his face.

"Where is the person coming?" he asked anxiously.

"Just outside the door." the servant replied.

"Go and invite them in quickly. Remember, don't attract other people's attention. Do you understand?" Li Si warned in an anxious and nervous tone.

"Yes." The servant responded hurriedly, then turned and left.

Li Si held the wooden sword tightly, with a complex emotion in his heart. He knew what the wooden sword meant. It represented a special person who had disappeared for many years. However, Li Si did not know why the other person appeared here.

After hearing Li Si's words and seeing his anxious expression, the servant did not dare to delay and immediately went to invite the other party according to Li Si's instructions. At this time, Li Si had been waiting in the side hall for a long time.

Not long after, a figure with gray hair and beard walked into the side hall under the guidance of a servant. When he saw Li Si sitting in the middle of the side hall, he immediately said respectfully: "Lu Sheng, meet the Prime Minister!"

"Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng, I never thought you would dare to come back. His Majesty has been looking for you all these years!"

As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si was acquainted with Lu Sheng. It was Lu Sheng's existence that made Qin Shihuang develop a strong interest in elixirs and gradually become addicted to them. Whether it was "the falling stars" or "the one who destroyed Qin was Hu", or even the concept of immortality, Qin Shihuang's obsession had a lot to do with Lu Sheng. Now, Lu Sheng did not come back early or late, but chose to return to Xianyang City at this time. Li Si was sure that things were definitely not that simple.

"Thank you for your concern, Prime Minister. The reason why Lu Sheng came back this time was to offer medicine to Your Majesty."

"Offer medicine?"

Li Si frowned upon hearing this. Hearing this, Li Si frowned. Now he was offering medicine. Could Qin Shihuang's body bear it?

"Yes, after years of dedicated searching, I finally found the legendary elixir of life."

"Immortality? Have you really found it?"

After hearing this, Li Si's eyes widened in disbelief. After all, this matter was indeed too bizarre. Most people would not believe that there really was an elixir of life in this world, including Li Si.

They knew it, but as long as Qin Shi Huang believed it, they could only agree with him verbally. As subjects, how could they go against their sovereign's ideas? Whether it was true or false, it had to be true at this time.

"Longevity, not immortality, can extend life by at least ten years and strengthen the body"

"Oh, if that's the case, why don't you go directly to see His Majesty instead of coming to find me?"

After listening to Lu Sheng's words, Li Si was relieved. After all, immortality was too shocking. On the contrary, extending life by ten years was much more credible.

"I am helpless. I am afraid that His Majesty may not see me now, so I came here specially to ask the Prime Minister to bring me to see His Majesty."

"Catch? You..."

Li Si was just about to say that he could just take him to see Qin Shi Huang, but he soon understood the meaning of Lu Sheng's words. Li Si didn't expect that Lu Sheng could think of this. If he took Lu Sheng to see His Majesty, it would not be a big deal for Li Si. It didn't matter whether Li Si's merits increased or not.

On the other hand, if Qin Shihuang was not satisfied, he would be easily implicated and blamed. On the other hand, if he took Lu Sheng to see Qin Shihuang in the name of being caught, whether Qin Shihuang was happy or not, this matter had nothing to do with Li Si.

"It's that simple?"

Li Si was still cautious at this time. Lu Sheng, who had disappeared for nearly ten years, suddenly appeared. He always felt that this matter was far from being so simple.
