The emperor Ying Zheng of the first generation was sitting on a high seat, looking coldly at the courtiers below, and asked: "Everyone, does anyone know the news about the elixir of life?"
below.
Ministers: "..."
They looked at each other, but no one said anything.
The atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense and tense. These courtiers did not even dare to take a breath for fear of being noticed by the First Emperor.
It's not a good thing to have his attention anyway.
Maybe something will go wrong.
However, just when the atmosphere in the court was extremely awkward, a guard came to report, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Pei County."
"..."
There was still silence in the court hall.
The First Emperor did not speak, and no one dared to interrupt for fear of offending the person on the high seat.
Ying Zheng looked at the ministers in the court indifferently, some were angry and some were arrogant, he snorted coldly and said, "What can I report to Pei County?"
His tone was calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
The guard who came to report was stunned for a moment, and then cautiously reported back: "To answer your Majesty's question, a report has been sent from Pei County. I have no right to view it, so I have handed it over here."
No one has checked the content.
Ying Zheng nodded and said solemnly: "Send it over."
After the internal supervisor went down to carefully check whether there was any danger, he presented it to the First Emperor and slowly opened the memorial inside.
A scroll of bamboo slips is covered with words.
I saw it read, "Reporting to His Majesty the First Emperor, I met a divine figure in Peixian County today, who can control life and death by turning his hands and palms. Because of his specialness, I am reporting to His Majesty."
The signature is the name of Peng Tian, the guard of Peixian County, plus his seal.
"A man among the gods?" Ying Zheng was slightly startled when he saw this, and thought to himself, "Could it be that the people below want to show off again?"
There have been people who lied like this before.
He didn't take it seriously, and most of them returned in vain in the end. There was no so-called immortality, and even the elixir of life he was looking for didn't appear.
"Your Majesty, the person who sent the memorial also sent a detailed report." The guard said to Ying Zheng respectfully.
"Oh?" Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and said quickly: "Send it over."
The detailed report contained information about Jiang Chi, including the fact that some people were killed by him inexplicably with some insects, and that Liu Bang had an arm inexplicably lost, and it was the result of no personal contact.
Such an extremely detailed report was definitely a surprising discovery for the First Emperor Ying Zheng.
"Okay, Peng Tian has indeed lived up to my expectations." Regardless of whether Jiang Chi is a fairy or not, the mysterious bug is definitely a good thing for him.
Maybe we can take this opportunity to find the elixir of life.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng pondered and said: "I know about this matter. I will send someone to investigate it carefully. Peng Tian is interested."
As the master of this world, Ying Zheng lived in Xianyang Palace for a long time, but he never knew how many strange people and strangers there were in the world.
Now that he is approaching old age, he wants to live longer so that his country can last forever.
"How wonderful it would be if we were really among the immortals and gods." He had already sacrificed too much to find the elixir of immortality, so he asked Xu Fu to travel eastward to find the pre-Qin qi practitioners to refine the elixir and search for the elixir.
He has been waiting for a long time and looking forward to it for many years.
"Yes!" An internal supervisor responded to this matter.
None of the ministers in the court said anything, they just felt a little surprised that this person who controlled the world in Xianyang Palace didn't know what he was up to now.
"Disperse the dynasty."
After Ying Zheng gave a calm instruction, he waved away and continued to greet the eunuch: "Go and find Meng Tian for me."
"Your Majesty, Meng Tian is sitting in the north and is also taking care of building the Great Wall. I'm afraid he won't be able to leave at this time." An eunuch replied.
The First Emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "The foreign races in the north have long been killed and have given up. Even if there is still resistance, there are only a few. As for the construction of the Great Wall, don't worry about it for the time being. There will be no problems."
"But Your Majesty, if you ask Meng Tian to come back to Pei County to check, will this matter cause dissatisfaction among the court officials?" the eunuch asked worriedly.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng on the side smiled coldly, "Would they be dissatisfied? I don't want to know, and I don't have the time to guess. What's more, I can't trust you to send someone else, so I'll just let him go."
He ordered calmly.
His majestic face is full of determination, and he will not waver in his decision because of anyone, and he has awe-inspiring authority.
"Yes!" the internal supervisor continued to respond.
He is the master of Xianyang Palace and the emperor of the ages.
In order to become an immortal and immortal, he would do anything.
"Pei County, Jiang Chi, I hope you won't disappoint me." He had prepared a lot for the elixir of life.
As the leader of an empire, he single-handedly destroyed the other six kingdoms and became the most powerful and majestic person. He can be said to be a master.
However, mortals are mortals after all. They cannot withstand life and death, nor can they stop the erosion and passage of time. They will eventually grow old and die.
But now I'm fine, I finally heard some news about the immortals.
As for whether it is true or false, we need to find out clearly.
But he was already looking forward to it.
"I have enjoyed endless glory and wealth in my life, and I have also experienced supreme power and status, but what I want is to live forever and continue to live and manage the world for the rest of my life." He still has many things to do.
Jiang Chi, who came from far away to Peixian County, still didn't know anything about it. Peng Tian had already reported his matter to the person in Xianyang Palace.
A few days later.
A middle-aged man wearing armor came to Xianyang Palace. It was Meng Tian who was loyal to the winner and held a Meng family army in his hands.
"My minister Mengtian pays homage to Your Majesty."
Meng Tian respectfully saluted Ying Zheng and said, "I don't know why your Majesty called me back this time. I have not yet completed my tasks of resisting the aliens in the north and building the Great Wall."
He was called back by the First Emperor for no apparent reason, which was a bit strange.
Seeing the arrival of Meng Tian, who was loyal to him, Ying Zheng was relieved and said: "Meng Tian, I am calling you back this time because I have something very important to tell you to do. You must pay attention to it."
"Your Majesty, please tell me." Meng Tian was shocked and said quickly: "I will do my best to complete it to your Majesty's satisfaction."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded happily and said, "I am satisfied with your words. Please read these two reports carefully."
As he said this, he motioned to an internal prison officer to pass the report submitted by Peng Tian to Meng Tian, so that he could see it clearly, so that he would not have a black eye later.
After reading it, Ying Zheng continued: "This time you and the Meng family army go to Peixian County to investigate the affairs of the immortals and gods. Secondly, if the report is true, you must bring them back to me, no matter what.
What method did you use?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have understood." Meng Tian has understood. This mission is to investigate the matter of immortals and gods. If the guy named Jiang Chi really has special abilities, no matter what means he uses, he will do it.
Bring it back.
"Well, and..."
After Ying Zheng paused, he continued: "This matter is of great importance, so we must be careful and keep it confidential..."
