Now that he had made the decision, Xiang Ji was also a courageous person. He immediately returned to Xiang Mansion and found Xiang Liang to explain his intention to leave.
An angry look appeared on Xiang Liang's face, and he turned to persuade him earnestly: "Ji'er, although my uncle often blames you for being ignorant, he treats you sincerely. Why do you need to get angry with your uncle?"
Xiang Ji said seriously: "Uncle, my nephew is not angry. He is serious. He wants to go back to Jiangdong. Besides, he hasn't gone back to pay homage to his grandfather and father in several years. The tomb also needs someone to take care of it."
"Although there are servants taking care of you, how can you compare with your own care?"
Xiang Liang's face immediately turned gloomy: "Ji'er, don't make trouble. You are the one who wants to inherit the position of the head of the Xiang family and revitalize the family. How can you stay in Jiangdong? Chang'an should be your place of prosperity."
Xiang Ji shook his head and said: "Chang'an is full of talents, but my nephew has tempered his ambition. It is better to go back to Jiangdong to hone his martial arts. When my nephew's martial arts is great, he will definitely be able to compete for a place in Chang'an when he comes to Chang'an. It will be better than what he is doing now, working hard for several years but having nothing to do.
So much gain.”
"Didn't my uncle tell me that the one you admire most is His Majesty King Zhuang? His Majesty King Zhuang first succeeded to the throne, but due to his poor martial arts, it was difficult to subdue the ministers, and it was difficult to issue edicts."
"His Majesty King Zhuang did not make too many plans, but instead let it go and devoted himself to practicing martial arts. After three years of silence, he broke through the Grandmaster in one fell swoop. Then he used the authority of the Grandmaster to command his ministers, and in the final step, he dominated the world and aspired to the Central Plains."
"Isn't the fundamental reason for this? His Majesty Prince Zhuang's martial arts is outstanding? My nephew suddenly feels that his uncle is a bit neglecting his roots and pursuing the last. He does not pay attention to martial arts, but is obsessed with power management. This is actually putting the cart before the horse."
"Therefore, my nephew has made up his mind. He will return to Jiangdong tomorrow. If he has not yet accomplished his martial arts, he will not step out of Jiangdong for one day. Please ask your uncle to make it happen."
Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Ji with a determined look on his face and suddenly smiled: "Ji'er, it seems that you have grown up. Well, my uncle will make arrangements and someone will send you back to Jiangdong tomorrow."
Xiang Ji said happily: "Thank you, uncle."
…
In the Lin Mansion, Lin Ze took a letter brought by Chen Ping and opened it. It turned out that it was written to him by Xiang Ji.
"Has Xiang Ji returned to Jiangdong?" Lin Ze's face showed a trace of depression after reading it. It was a pity that a "good man" who gave himself "experience" and money also returned to his hometown like this. What a pity.
I just made a small plot against him and never thought of forcing him away.
However, Lin Ze just sighed a little. For now, the most important thing is for Hu Hai to surpass Fusu and successfully succeed to the throne.
Therefore, Lin Ze devoted all his energy to planning how to cut off Fusu's wings as much as possible and make Fusu hate Emperor Qin.
In comparison, what I gained from Xiang Ji was nothing at all. When Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, he would naturally get it back a hundred times.
Besides, for warriors, Jiangdong is not very far away. After Xiang Ji and Fusu are separated from each other, he will have plenty of opportunities to win over him.
Lin Ze made up his mind and said to Chen Ping: "Pay close attention to the movements of Fusu's forces. If there is any trouble, report it to me immediately."
Chen Ping nodded and left.
…
The back hall of Xianyang Palace.
Qin Huang withdrew his hand from Li Sansheng's head and felt that the spiritual power he had absorbed was getting less and less. He couldn't help but frowned: "The recovery is getting slower and slower, Xu Fu, are you still okay over there?"
Xu Fu immediately replied: "Your Majesty, two more will be delivered to you soon. Please wait for a few more days."
Emperor Qin stared at Xu Fu coldly and said: "You should know that I can't wait too long. I will give you five more days at most."
Xu Fu immediately bowed and replied: "I obey your order."
Emperor Qin took a deep look at Xu Fu, then turned and left, leaving Xu Fu alone in the palace.
Emperor Qin did not tell Xu Fu what the consequences would be if he could not do it, but Xu Fu knew in his heart that the consequences would be difficult for him to bear.
…
Three days later, Xu Fu carried two people with stupid faces and drooling on their hands to the back hall of Xianyang Palace. He saluted Emperor Qin and said, "Fortunately, I have brought you here."
Qin Huang nodded slightly, stretched out his hands, sucked the two of them into his hands, and threw them to the ground after ten breaths.
Qin Huang felt it for a while first, then turned ugly and said to Xu Fu: "Not enough, far from enough. How long will it take for the next batch?"
Xu Fu suppressed his blush and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, but the next batch will not be available for at least three months."
Emperor Qin's face turned dark on the spot, and he said coldly: "A little faster, a little longer, I don't have that much time to wait for too long, you should understand."
Xu Fu sighed: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this is the limit of what I can do. No matter how fast or how much, I can't do it. After all, the master realm is not so easy to cultivate, otherwise the world would not be the same."
There are only so many masters."
"Huh?" Qin Huang made a questioning sound from his nostrils.
After hearing this, Xu Fu just bowed deeply and stayed up for a long time, looking resigned.
Emperor Qin kept staring at Xu Fu, and after a long time, he said: "Then do your best." As soon as he finished speaking, the man disappeared.
Xu Fu straightened up. He was so exhausted that he didn't even notice that his back was wet. It wasn't until Xu Fu walked out of the palace that he felt a slight chill all over his body.
…
In the Yangxin Hall, after Emperor Qin approved several memorials, he felt irritated all over. He suddenly stretched out his left hand and swept the memorials aside, thinking about his own path to immortality.
According to Xu Fu's method, the progress is too slow, and the time predicted by Han Fei is getting closer and closer. Time does not wait for me.
Emperor Qin suddenly thought of Lu Chunqiu, maybe I can change the method.
Then Emperor Qin took out a pen and paper and wrote down the names one by one. If an outsider saw it, they would find that the names written by Emperor Qin were all the names of the great Qin masters.
As he wrote, Emperor Qin threw the pen aside, and a voice appeared in his heart, secretly advising himself: "No, I can't do this, otherwise, the Great Qin Empire will be destroyed in my hands. Once I fail, Great Qin may follow
Perish."
After a while, Emperor Qin picked up the pen again and thought: "If I don't make a breakthrough, will Great Qin be able to survive forever? It's better for me to give it a try."
Then he took the pen and rested it on a group of names. He was a little wavering. Thinking of someone who had abandoned him, he couldn't help but get angry for no reason. He nailed the two characters "Wei Yang" with the pen in his hand.
As soon as he settled down, Emperor Qin was shocked again. What did he want to do? Wei Yang was the pillar of the country. If he died, the Qin Dynasty would definitely be shaken and uneasy.
Will this evil method make people go crazy?
Emperor Qin immediately crossed his legs and formed a seal, closed his eyes and rested his mind. After a long time, he took a long breath, calmed down, and thought about what he had just planned to do.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Emperor Qin's mouth: "I really don't understand, is that what I really think? It's simply ridiculous. Do I still need to hesitate?"
"As long as I die, the Qin Dynasty will not perish. For me, it is enough for me to live forever!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands and Da Siming emerged from the sky, kneeling on one knee: "Please give me your Majesty's orders."
Emperor Qin called him to his side and whispered a few words.
Then the chief minister bowed and saluted: "I obey your order."
