"Refining... refining elixir! Using living people?"
Zhao Kang couldn't believe his ears and stared blankly at the tearful old man Zhang in front of him.
The latter was obviously in grief and could not answer Zhao Kang's questions at all.
After the other party recovered a little, he answered Zhao Kang's doubts.
"Young man, you don't know. Starting about twenty years ago, today's emperor ordered all regions to start selecting girls under sixteen to enter the palace. At first, people everywhere thought that His Majesty wanted to select beautiful girls to enter the palace, and they had no objections to this.
"
"But every year, thousands of people are chosen, which attracts the attention of many people. Later, someone went to the capital to investigate and found that all the beautiful ladies who entered the palace disappeared without a trace."
"After careful investigation, I found that all the beautiful ladies who entered the palace were thrown into the elixir furnace to make some elixir of immortality for the emperor! But there is no such thing as immortality in this world!"
"This emperor is clearly cannibalizing! I think how good our people's lives were when Emperor Xiao Xuance was alive, but now we are miserable!"
After hearing what Old Man Zhang said, Zhao Kang was stunned!
Xuance's grandson actually uses living people to make elixirs! He is pursuing immortality! What on earth is this bastard doing?
A majestic anger surged out of Zhao Kang's heart at this moment. Looking at the grieving old man Zhang, he only felt a feeling of betrayal.
How could the country of Qian, which countless people had protected with their lives, become what it is now?
He didn't know how he got out of Old Man Zhang's house and came to the street to look at the passers-by. Everyone's brows were furrowed, as if something sad was lingering on them.
He walked aimlessly on the streets. After leaving the city, from afternoon to dusk and then to night, he looked like a lonely ghost.
The night wind blows.
Zhao Kang couldn't help but shiver. The night wind did not make him feel cool at all in this hot season, but was only extremely cold.
Suddenly, a low laughter sounded
Ringing in the dark night.
"It seems that I have been away for too long, Xiao Wudao. I want to see how unruly you really are!"
Imperial Capital.
The majestic imperial city is so majestic, but for some reason it looks a little more eerie against the backdrop of the dark night sky.
In the splendid hall.
A huge dragon bed is very eye-catching. Behind the bed curtains are several beautiful and disheveled women who are trying their best to dress up the most noble man in the world.
The man was clearly over fifty, but he looked like he was in his prime, with a tall build and a good appearance.
Below, there are three circular wine pools on the left and right.
This Paradise Hall is my favorite place today. Whenever I feel like it, I will have a big banquet here for all the ministers, and the king and his ministers will have fun together.
After a long and comfortable groan.
Xiao Wudao stood up, patted the beautiful woman who had been ravaged miserably by him, and gave an evil smile.
Just when he was about to rest for a while and favor others again, a palace maid trotted in from outside the Paradise Hall and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master wishes to see you."
Xiao Wudao heard this and yawned, "Please invite the Imperial Master to come in."
A moment later, an old man with gray hair and a childlike face walked into the Paradise Hall. From the moment he entered the hall, he knelt all the way to the dragon bed, with a flattering and humble smile on his face.
"Kowtow to Your Majesty!"
Xiao Wudao nodded with satisfaction and asked the other party to stand up.
This is right!
Thinking about the real historical records left in the forbidden area of the palace, the first national advisor of the Qian Kingdom refused to bow before the emperor, and why he was awarded the title of "Senior General" alongside Wang Tiance.
How can a minister stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor?
But after all, the other party still has something special, it’s just that
It's a pity that after so many years of searching, there are no clues at all. Could it be that he went to sea?
Yes, historical records record that this guy had some kind of foreign beauty, blond and blue-eyed, from a country overseas, maybe she hid there.
I have to find a chance to see it myself. I don't know what that blonde beauty tastes like.
The old man, who was called the Imperial Master by the palace maid, stood up and respectfully took out a small box from his arms. When the box was opened, there was a round pill inside.
Xiao Wudao stretched out his hand to take it and put it into his mouth, not afraid that it was not poisonous. With his own cultivation level, the poison could not hurt him at all.
After taking the elixir, Xiao Wudao looked at the old man with a half-smile, "Master, I have been taking this magical elixir for more than twenty years. Although it has indeed delayed my aging, it seems that it is still far from the real one." Immortality is still far short of that."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Master Dayuan hurriedly knelt down and said in fear, "Your Majesty, forgive me, the way to immortality is the great road of heaven and earth, and tempering the divine elixir with human essence, blood, flesh and blood does not happen overnight."
"So I can only use the method of a woman to supplement your majesty's dragon's yang with yin to refine the elixir."
"But don't worry, your majesty. Since there is indeed an immortal person in the world, as long as we can find him and use his flesh and blood to refine the elixir, your majesty will be able to live forever after taking it! He will rule the Great Yuan for eternity!"
Xiao Wudao didn't blame the Imperial Master for what he said. He had been looking for that person ever since he saw the real historical data.
There just hasn't been any news.
But he is not in a hurry. With this magical elixir, he can prolong his life for a long time.
Although this magical elixir is made from my own people, since I am the most respected Lord of the world, then everything in this world should be mine!
Being able to serve me is a blessing for those ordinary people.
Not to mention that now that the world is completely unified, no one will threaten us anymore.
Speaking of which, I have to thank Wu Xueqing, the empress of the Jing Kingdom who died for her country. If she hadn't destroyed those Jin barbarians, I would have had to work hard.
It's a pity that the escaped Prince Jing was not caught.
But it doesn't matter.
The empress never married until her death, and the so-called most beautiful woman in the world, the female crown prince of Jingguo, was not of the Wu family and could not make any waves.
Thinking to himself, Xiao Wudao raised his head and happened to see the old Imperial Master's eyes falling on the woman beside him, and he gave an evil smile.
He didn't blame her, he pulled up the beautiful woman on the bed and threw her over.
"You're rewarded!"
"Thank you, your majesty. Thank you, your majesty. I will definitely refine the elixir of immortality as soon as possible to help your majesty become immortal forever!"
There is no way in the world and all the people are like grass.
…
above the wilderness
A team of five hundred Dayuan light cavalry appeared, with a long team behind them. The team was all composed of women and their hands were bound with shackles to prevent them from escaping.
The commander of the light cavalry turned around and saw a woman with a blank look in the team. He smiled with satisfaction and patted the woman's butt with his lance.
Seeing the other party glaring at her fiercely, he pierced the woman's pants with the tip of his spear, then picked up a piece of rag and flew up in the wind, revealing the woman's snow-white skin.
A whistle sounded, and the cavalry ranks laughed cheerfully.
Someone said, "Captain, why don't we fuck this beautiful woman? I've never seen such a beautiful woman in my life!"
"You idiot, if such a beauty is sent back to Kyoto to His Majesty, how much reward can we get?"
"That's true!"
While they were talking, a white-haired figure in the distance broke into everyone's field of vision.
The woman in the team who was ridiculed could not help but move her eyebrows!
