504. Frontier emergency report

There are many benefits to becoming the number two figure in the Alchemist Academy.

Ye Yuan now not only enjoys the priority to choose medicinal materials, but also has an independent alchemy room. Finally, he no longer has to share an alchemy room with others.

This is great progress.

Of course, once you enjoy the benefits, trouble will naturally follow.

When the jealous alchemists saw Ye Yuan, they were respectful and courteous on the surface.

But behind the scenes, there were constant gossips, and almost no one could say anything good about him.

For example, the original "three giants" of the Alchemist Academy: Hou Sheng, Shi Sheng, and Fang Sheng.

They didn't have to keep it secret anymore, the eyes they looked at Ye Yuan from the front showed naked hatred.

Ye Yuan was sure that if there was a chance, they would definitely step on him hard.

Although, before today, Ye Yuan did not even know them at all and was a pure stranger.

But I can't stand it, people's hearts are so strange.

But if you think about it carefully, Ye Yuan is a newcomer who has just arrived for a day.

Moreover, he was still a young boy with no reputation and no foundation before.

And now, he has unexpectedly become the vice-president who is superior to the three of them.

It would be strange if they could have a balance in their hearts.

Moreover, this is the vice president of the Alchemist Academy!

The chief dean of the Alchemist Academy is Zhao Gao, but as a close minister of the First Emperor Yingzheng and the official of the CRRC, Zhao Gao was busy with affairs, so how could he have so much time to manage the Alchemist Academy?

Therefore, the current vice president Ye Yuan has become the de facto boss of the Alchemist Academy.

How can this not make people feel envious, jealous, and hateful?

Ye Yuan didn't care at all about this, or he didn't want to talk to them.

Anyway, it's useless no matter how much these alchemists dislike him.

This is an order issued by Ying Zheng, who dares to disobey it!

Besides, Ye Yuan really didn't want to have anything to do with these half-hearted alchemists.

Whether they are unintentional or intentional.

In short, when refining elixirs, just refining elixirs properly. Why use so many heavy metals? Think of elixir refining as alchemy!



In the palace, Ying Zheng was sitting in front of the case, looking at the report on a scroll of bamboo slips. The mood he originally had due to his improved health was now depressed again.

Not only this volume, but also a pile next to it, dozens of memorials all say the same thing.

That is: Da Qin...is short of food, extremely short of food.

To build the Great Wall, too many men were conscripted, which led to a sharp decrease in domestic food production. Nowadays, the disadvantages are becoming more and more obvious.

But if the construction of the Great Wall is stopped, what will be done to prevent the nomads from the north from invading?

Although the Qin army was powerful and had as many strong men as the clouds, it was impossible to deal with all the cavalry that came and went like the wind.

The existence of the Great Wall can provide early warning and gain more reaction time.

Don't underestimate those nomads. They also have mysterious powers such as shamans and grassland warriors, and their strength is not weak.

Just when Ying Zheng frowned, a thin figure walked straight into the hall, as if entering a deserted place.

It wasn't until he stood in front of Ying Zheng that he spoke out.

"See Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng raised his head and looked at the old man who looked like a bamboo pole in front of him, with calm eyes.

"I summoned Gu Sheng today, and the elixir he presented was indeed miraculous."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng said bluntly with an unhappy look on his face.

"You know what I want to ask?"

At this moment, Emperor Ying Zheng's majesty was fully revealed. If ordinary people had seen it, they would have been prostrate on the ground and trembling.

But the old man's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples, and he spoke very calmly.

"The secret is unpredictable!"

"Unpredictable?"

Ying Zheng didn't buy it and said very domineeringly.

"Wei Liao, there is no difficulty in front of Da Qin!"

Wei Liao was unmoved and asked quietly.

"Your Majesty, the food issue...has been resolved?"

This old bastard must have done it on purpose.

It’s really hard to pick up any pot!

Ying Zheng felt like he was being slapped in the face, and his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Hmph, food will be available soon!"

Wei Liao did not continue to irritate Ying Zheng. Years of getting along with monarchs and ministers allowed him to easily grasp the scale and prevent Ying Zheng from completely losing his mind.

"Your Majesty, perhaps only the Taoist and Yin-Yang schools have the ability to understand Gu Sheng's matter."

As soon as Ying Zheng heard about the various schools of thought, his anger suddenly surged up and he said angrily.

"If they are really willing to be used by our Great Qin, then why..."

After all, Ying Zheng did not continue speaking, but his expression became even more ugly.

Wei Liao also knew that this was Ying Zheng's heart problem, but he didn't have a solution, he just reminded it.

"Your Majesty, the Yin Yang family?"

"Hmph, although they have helped Great Qin, the most important thing is their own calculations, which cannot be trusted!"

Wei Liao was silent, but he really couldn't see through Ye Yuan.

Only two days after Ye Yuan entered Xianyang, he had "accidental encounters" twice.

Yesterday, when he saw him for the first time, he only had a quick glance, but he could tell that Ye Yuan's appearance was completely different from that of ordinary "foreigners". He was not "clean", but had some slight involvement in the fate of the country of Qin.

Today was his second "accidental encounter" in Tiantianju. He "looked" at Ye Yuan carefully for a long time, but found nothing more.

That's right, it was Wei Liao who was spying on Ye Yuan from the upstairs of Tiantianju today.

After Wei Liao was silent for a moment, he stroked his beard and said.

"Your Majesty, how about watching Gusheng today?"

Ying Zheng recalled all the reactions of Ye Yuan entering the palace and said in a deep voice.

"This person is very contradictory. On the surface he is very innocent, but in fact he has a deep hidden feeling. Moreover, he is not afraid of me."

Wei Liao chuckled.

"Most people are not afraid of strangers!"

Ying Zheng thought for a while and denied.

"No, this is different. He is confident!"

Wei Liao thought for a moment, looked up at Ying Zheng, and suggested.

"In this case, Your Majesty can make a decision."

Ying Zheng nodded and changed the topic.

"Guiguzi's disciple... Xu Fu, hasn't he arrived in Xianyang yet?"

Wei Liao had a strange look on his face.

"A month ago, he had arrived in Xianyang and entered the Alchemist Academy."

"Well, why don't I know?"

Just when Wei Liao was about to explain, a shout came from outside the hall.

"Report!"

Ying Zheng immediately put Xu Fu's matter behind him, because he knew that anyone who dared to make a loud noise in the palace must have had a huge emergency.

It may even endanger the safety of Great Qin, and in the face of such a major event, even Guiguzi's disciples have to stay back.

Unless, contemporary Guiguzi comes in person.

"Xuan."

The door opened, and a heavily armed soldier knelt down holding a roll of bamboo slips and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, General Meng Tian has urgently reported that the Huns have raised millions of troops and kowtowed at the border."

Wei Liao took over Zhao Gao's position very consciously and took the initiative to pick up the bamboo slips in the hands of the soldiers. After checking that they were correct, he presented them to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng looked at the contents on the bamboo slip and his face turned livid. After reading it, he even slapped the bamboo slip directly on the case and said angrily.

"What a Hun. I didn't go to find you, but you took the initiative to attack me. You are really asking for your own death."
