Chapter 3 Your Majesty asks ghosts and gods
As soon as his cheap father left, Zhao Lang opened the god-level selection system.
"The host has completed the mission. Do you want to receive the reward: Special Forces Physique?"
"receive!"
As soon as Zhao Lang finished speaking, a warm current flowed through his body.
A sense of power came from his body.
"This special forces soldier is quite strong."
Looking at his stronger arms and clenching his fists, Zhao Lang felt a little secretly happy.
"I got the physique of the special forces, and I also got ten thousand taels of gold."
"Go and see Zhuangzi's situation first, and then make plans."
Zhao Lang got up and walked out the door, ready to take a good tour of his village.
Just outside the door is an extremely wide courtyard with a grand and simple style.
The room where Zhao Lang was located was on a higher ground. Standing on the steps, although he could not see the whole view of Zhuangzi at a glance.
But just looking at the stacked roofs, you know that this village is definitely not small!
Sure enough, it is a rich and noble family!
Zhao Lang couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and said to Uncle Fu who was guarding the door,
"Uncle Fu, take me around."
"Yes, sir."
Uncle Fu looked at Zhao Lang with a complicated expression and nodded in response.
Uncle Fu's mood was actually extremely complicated, because he couldn't understand the master's attitude towards the young master.
If the head of the family likes the young master, then why not reveal his identity and then give the young master a palace and a title.
But if he didn't like it, the head of the family gave the master the leadership of Zhuangzi and even sent him ten thousand taels of gold.
"If I could guess the master's thoughts, I wouldn't stay here."
Uncle Fu thought mockingly to himself, he just had to follow the family master's instructions anyway.
The two of them, surrounded by servants, began to inspect the entire manor.
But the more Zhao Lang looked at it, the more surprised he became. This village was surrounded by solid high walls and some defensive measures.
The servants at home are also very capable.
It is said to be a village, but in fact it is more like an armed fortress.
Seemingly seeing Zhao Lang's surprise, Uncle Fu took the initiative to explain,
"Sir, although the world is unified now, there are still many barbarians and bandits in the countryside. These are the norm in Zhuangzi now."
The head of the family wouldn't let him reveal his identity, so he naturally wouldn't say much.
As for the servants on Zhuangzi, except for the core members, no one else knows who the real master of this Zhuangzi is.
And this is also a fact. Although the Qin Dynasty has been unified now, the troubled times have only ended not long ago, and everyone's awareness of defense is still very strong.
"No wonder my cheap dad wasn't too surprised when he heard that he said he needed to prepare early. It seems that wealthy families have always been prepared in this way."
Zhao Lang nodded thoughtfully.
Soon, Zhao Lang also got a rough idea of Zhuangzi's situation.
There are nearly 800 acres of fields around Zhuangzi, and there are hundreds of farmers attached to Zhuangzi. They are truly big landowners.
"It's not a bad start."
Zhao Lang nodded with satisfaction.
Of course, in the face of the coming troubled times, this strength will definitely not be enough.
"Sir, what did you say?"
Uncle Fu on the side said doubtfully.
"nothing,"
Zhao Lang returned with a smile,
"Uncle Fu, I want the detailed information on Zhuangzi."
Find out your own strength first before you can make plans.
"Yes, I will ask someone to take you to your room right now."
Fu Bo quickly agreed.

At this time, in the Great Qin Palace, a palace.
Qin Shihuang stood alone in the middle of the palace.
Next to him was a little rabbit that had just died.
Looking at the dead rabbit on the ground, Qin Shihuang looked confused.
After standing alone for a long time, he slowly shouted,
"Zhao Gao."
Almost instantly, the palace door opened and a big eunuch walked in.
Said to Qin Shi Huang,
"Your Majesty, this old slave is here."
Qin Shihuang said in a calm tone at this time,
"Go and imprison all those warlocks, and recall Xu Fu."
Upon hearing the order, Zhao Gao's body suddenly shook and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
You know, that group of magicians are usually the most valued by Qin Shihuang.
No matter what requests he made, as long as they were for refining the elixir of immortality, Qin Shihuang would definitely satisfy them one by one.
But after coming back in a hurry today, I asked for a live rabbit, and then came to this palace usually used for cultivation.
Stay in there alone, no one is allowed in.
And now when the door is opened, these warlocks will be imprisoned!
We also need to recall Xu Fu who is about to go to sea to find the fairy mountain. This change is too big!
He was shocked, but he didn't dare to neglect and replied quickly,
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Not long after, two groups of cavalry left the palace.
After issuing this order, Qin Shihuang sat in the palace without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
The entire palace became extremely quiet, and everyone became cautious.
Zhao Gao was waiting aside, not daring to make a sound.
Outside, he is the prestigious eunuch Zhao Gao.
But in front of Qin Shihuang, he was just a dog.
"Zhao Gao, do you believe in ghosts and gods?"
Qin Shi Huang suddenly asked after being silent for a long time.
Zhao Gao thought about the words in his mind and then said carefully,
"Your Majesty, when this old slave was a child, he naturally believed it."
"But now, Your Majesty is the god of Lao Nu and the god of Great Qin."
Upon hearing the answer, Qin Shihuang laughed and said,
"This bitch can actually talk."
Zhao Gao said hurriedly,
"Every sentence I say is from the bottom of my heart."
Qin Shihuang waved his hand and said,
"Okay, there's no point in asking you."
"Go and let Li Si enter the palace."
"yes!"
Zhao Gao slowly withdrew, and only after leaving the palace did he say to the young eunuch guarding the door,
"Go and announce Prime Minister Li's entry into the palace!"
Then he lowered his voice again,
"Just say, Your Majesty asks the ghosts and gods."
The little eunuch didn't dare to delay and ran out in a hurry.
Qin Shihuang didn't wait long. Li Si, wearing official uniform, came outside the palace.
"My lord, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Li Si arrived with a salute.
Qin Shihuang nodded and responded.
After the etiquette between monarch and ministers was completed, Li Si asked,
"I wonder why Your Majesty summoned you so urgently?"
Qin Shihuang asked directly,
"I wonder if the Prime Minister can trust ghosts and gods?"
Li Si pondered for a moment and returned,
"Your Majesty, even though I am a Legalist, I also know that you can confuse the gods with your strange power without words."
"This thing about ghosts and gods is mostly people pretending to be gods."
Qin Shihuang smiled and said,
"Are you worried that after I became addicted to immortality, I will also become addicted to the theory of ghosts and gods?"
After Qin Shihuang revealed his thoughts, Li Si did not feel ashamed at all, but said sternly,
"Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, why do you suddenly have such doubts?"
Qin Shihuang shook his head and said,
Chapter completed!
