In Xianyang City, a large number of commoners looked at the billowing smoke in the distance and were extremely nervous. They were afraid that the mountain fire would not stop and burn their fields or even Xianyang City.
Some of the commoners who made a living by chopping wood collapsed and cried until they fainted on the ground.
"If it was a natural fire, there would definitely be very few points of fire. However, the fire is spreading in all directions, and the soldiers in the city are not in a hurry at all.”
Looking at the mountain fire in the distance, Chu Han rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"So, this mountain fire is man-made, right? Moreover, it should be the actions of the Imperial Court!”
Thinking of this, Chu Han was even more puzzled.
"The Qin Dynasty was the first dynasty to have the idea of environmental protection and sustainable development. It even enacted laws to protect forests. Why would the imperial court organize people to burn mountains?”
He couldn't figure it out!
He couldn't figure it out at all!
Forget it, I'm not going to eat anymore. I'd better go back and feed the pigs.
……
At the same time, Ying Zheng was standing on a high platform with his hands behind his back, looking at the burning mountain range with a serious look in his eyes.
Although Ying Zheng trusted Chu Han quite a lot, the vigilance of an emperor still made him decide to go and test it out himself.
The mountain fire that filled the sky originated from Chu Han's words!
The thick smoke rising from the burning wood blocked their vision.
When the smoke gradually dissipated, Ying Zheng's pupils constricted, and then he slapped the railing excitedly.
"Brother Chu was right!"
Even though he was quite far away, Ying Zheng could still vaguely see that the scenery above the mountain forest was slightly distorted.
"Your Majesty!"
Meng Yi rode his horse over, his face covered in dust.
After getting off his horse, Meng Yi cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty, I observed it closely and found that it was just as Your Majesty said. Some of the scenery seemed to be moving up and down with the birth and death of the flames. Although it was not obvious, it was indeed there!”
Ying Zheng was delighted. The first proof method that Chu Han had given him had been verified successfully!
"Have you found all the people that zhen is looking for?”
"Your Majesty, the Wusun, Loulan, Goguryeon, and other kingdoms have all been found and are currently waiting in the Imperial City." Meng Yi cupped his hands.”
"Summon them for an audience."
Soon, the 20 foreign businessmen were brought to the foot of the mountain by Meng Yi.
Looking at the mountain fire not far away, the merchants trembled, afraid that Qin Shihuang would throw them into the mountain fire and cremate them on the spot if he was not satisfied.
"Greetings to the wise and mighty Qin Emperor!”
The foreign businessmen did not come from the same country, so the etiquette was naturally strange and chaotic.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and asked directly,""Have you ever seen a mirage?”
Looking at the dumbfounded expressions of the foreign businessmen, Meng Yi quickly went forward to explain.
"Your Majesty, this commoner has never seen such a scene!”
"That scene must be Longevity Heaven's method. How can we merchants be fated to see it.”
"Your Majesty!" A businessman with protruding cheekbones suddenly shouted,""Your Majesty, I have seen it before!"
Ying Zheng looked at the merchant and asked lightly,""Have you seen it before?"
The pressure that belonged to an emperor made the merchant's face turn pale. He directly knelt on the ground, but he still said,"I dare not lie to Your Majesty. I have indeed seen the mirage that General Meng described! That mirage was known as the Devil's Temptation in our country, and every Wensu citizen had heard of its legend.”
"The temptation of the devil?" Meng Yi was stunned. Are you sure what you said is the same as what I described?”
The difference between the two descriptions was too great.
The allure of the celestial mountains and demons were two extremes!
The merchant nodded." General Meng, what this commoner said is definitely the same as what you said. This kind of illusion often appears in the desert. This commoner has seen oases, cities, and villages. If you believe it and chase after that scene, you will lose your way and die in the desert.”
"That's why we call it the Devil's Temptation!”
At this moment, another Goguryeon merchant also spoke up."Your Majesty, I have also seen that mirage! "However, our race calls it the Sea Demon's trap. If a captain is confused by that scene, he will eventually die in the sea!”
"Hiss ~"
Meng Yi gasped.
If that immortal mountain was really the temptation of the devil, then what His Majesty saw was not an auspicious sign, but a great ominous omen!
Meng Yi looked at Ying Zheng in horror, only to find that Ying Zheng was laughing at the sky.
"Hahaha, I see! So that was how it was! So this is the secret of the celestial mountain."
"Brother Chu, you didn't lie to me!"
Chu Han's two consecutive verification methods were proven to be effective, which completely strengthened Ying Zheng's confidence.
It turned out that there really were no immortals in this world.
He was the supreme ruler of this world!
"Your Majesty, have you seen through the Immortal's intentions?" Meng Yi couldn't help but ask.”
"What immortal mountain?" Ying Zheng snorted. What demonic temptation? This kid couldn't be taught. This was just a reflection of light.”
Seeing Meng Yi's dumbfounded look, Ying Zheng was in a great mood. He finally understood why Chu Li always liked to talk nonsense with him.
This feeling was really satisfying!
