He boiled the wild pig with boiling water, peeled off its skin, and cut the wild pig meat into eight pieces.
The entire process was smooth and without a trace of familiarity.
Old Zhao and the other two saw this and did not expect Zhao Yu's culinary skills to be so superb!
Four hours later, a large pot of fragrant potato stew was served on the dining table.
Zhao Yu took out a few bottles of high-concentration white wine and placed them on the table.
This wine was brewed by Zhao Yu ever since he transmigrated. It was mellow and fragrant, and the alcohol content could reach more than 40%.
He opened a bottle of white wine, and the fragrance of the wine filled the air. Old Wang couldn't help but drool. He shouted at Zhao Yu,""Old Yu, fill this old man's cup with wine.”
Zhao Yu glanced at Old Wang and said seriously,""One thousand yuan can only let you eat meat. As for the wine, you have to pay more.”
Hearing this, Old Zhao, Old Wang, and Old Meng were all stunned!
He still wanted to pay more?
"Old Yu, we're brothers. We've never taken money for drinks and meals before, have we?" Old Meng said bitterly.”
"You guys come here every day to freeload.”
Zhao Yu explained calmly.
This pig also cost three strings of money!
In addition, he personally cooked. No matter what, it would cost at least 1,000 yuan per person, right?
Old Zhao paused and looked at the fragrant white wine. He said to Zhao Yu generously,""Old Yu, I'll pay for the drinks on their behalf. How much more do I have to pay?”
Zhao Yu raised a finger.
"A hundred dollars?" Old Wang asked in puzzlement.
Zhao Yu continued to shake his head.
"A thousand wen." Zhao Yu explained.
Hearing this, Old Zhao heaved a long sigh of relief and quickly said,"A thousand dollars, no problem. I'll give it to you now.”
Zhao Yu continued to shake his head. Under the surprised gazes of Old Zhao and the other two, he said,"It's a thousand dollars per person!"
Old Wang was speechless.
Old Meng was speechless.
Old Zhao was speechless.
Old Wang's face turned dark. He thought to himself, How did this Old Yu become so black-hearted?
If not for the fact that he was worried that he might not be Zhao Yu's match, Old Wang would have already started snatching!
In the end, Old Zhao could not resist the temptation of the wine and obediently made Old Meng take out three thousand yuan.
Qin Shihuang never had the habit of bringing money with him when he went out.
Zhao Yu happily accepted the money. He had earned back his money with this meal!
Zhao Yu looked at the three of them as if he was looking at three mountains of gold!
"Come, cheers!"
After receiving the money, Zhao Yu acted as if nothing had happened. He pulled Old Zhao, Old Wang, and Old Meng to drink together.
Old Zhao and the other two took turns to attack Zhao Yu, preparing to defeat him.
Unexpectedly, two hours had passed. Other than Old Zhao, who looked a little serious, Old Wang and Old Meng were completely drunk.
Old Wang shamelessly wanted to pounce on Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu reacted in time, allowing Old Wang to pounce on nothing.
Old Wang's face was red and his body seemed to be out of control. He asked Zhao Yu shakily,""Old Yu, are you married? I have a daughter in my family. She is as beautiful as a flower and is waiting to be married.”
Zhao Yu shook his head and replied,"No."”
But in his heart, he was thinking, I only want to be brothers with you, but you actually want to be my father-in-law?
When the Longevity Fruit Tree ripened three months later and was offered to Qin Shihuang, what could he not get?
When Old Wang heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly,""Old Yu, this old man's daughter, the only person in this world that can make her marry, this old man feels that only you!”
Looking at the drunk Old Wang, Zhao Yu was full of shamelessness.
Looking at Old Wang's thick limbs, his granddaughter was probably just like him!
He actually wanted his granddaughter to cling to him?
……
Inside Xianyang Palace.
Zhao Gao stared at a eunuch with a sinister expression, his pale face covered in a layer of powder.
The young eunuch knelt on the ground, drenched in cold sweat. He didn't dare to raise his head. Zhao Gao was like a demon in his heart!
"Eunuch, why are you looking for me?”The young eunuch knelt on the ground and said in fear.
Zhao Gao kicked the young eunuch in the chest. The young eunuch was sent flying and spat out a mouthful of blood.
" Eunuch…" The eunuch stopped the blood from flowing out of his mouth and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Zhao Gao and begging for mercy.
"Tell me, how did the imperial physician diagnose His Majesty?" Zhao Gao asked coldly. His Majesty's movements in the past few days."
The young eunuch wanted to say something but hesitated. He had learned all this by chance when he was serving the Emperor.
If he told Zhao Gao about this, his entire family would be exterminated if His Majesty blamed him!
Seeing that the young eunuch was unwilling to speak, Zhao Gao smiled sinisterly, sending chills down one's spine.
Zhao Gao took out a slave contract and waved it in front of the young eunuch. He said in a deep voice,""Li Hong, this is the contract of your younger brother Li Hu. Your Li family was originally a noble of the six dynasties, but now, your Li family only has you two brothers left!”
"And you can no longer do what a man does. The Li family's incense is all on your younger brother, but now, your younger brother is a slave in my residence. If you tell me, I'll let him go. Otherwise, I'll burn Li Hu alive!”Zhao Gao's calm voice was like a giant hammer that slammed into Li Hong's heart!
Thinking of his brother's safety, Li Hong's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife!
He no longer had any family in this world. Li Hu was his only loved one!
After hesitating for a while, Li Hong gritted his teeth and finally mustered up the courage to look at Zhao Gao, who had a terrifying expression on his face, and said in a deep voice,""Eunuch, I'll tell you. I only beg you to let my brother go.”
Zhao Gao laughed and said," That's more like it. As long as you work hard for me, not only will I let your brother go, but you will also live a good life from now on!"”
Li Hong told Zhao Gao everything, including how the imperial physician diagnosed that the Emperor had less than three months to live, and how the Emperor had secretly ordered the Black Ice Platform Sect's Xuanwu Guards to protect a young man named Zhao Yu in the eastern suburbs of Xianyang.
Zhao Gao gave Li Hong 1,000 yuan as a reward and returned to the mansion.
Thinking of the fact that His Majesty only had less than three months to live, Zhao Gao instantly felt that his chance had come!
He had secretly allied with the remnants of the six dynasties and was ready to take control of the royal court at any time after His Majesty's death!
The only thing that Zhao Gao couldn't control was why the Emperor would frequently visit Eastern Jiujiang in disguise, and why he would specifically send the royal family's Xuanwu Guards to protect a person named Zhao Yu.
"Men!" Zhao Gao said in a low voice.
From behind Zhao Gao, a death warrior immediately walked out and knelt on the ground. His eyes were filled with violence and killing intent!
Zhao Gao, as the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture, was deeply trusted by Qin Shihuang. He had also secretly nurtured his own men of sacrifice!
"Sir, please instruct me." The death warrior said respectfully.
"Send someone to secretly investigate a person called Zhao Yu in Eastern Jiujiang. Remember, you must be careful and not alert the enemy. If he alarmed the other party, did he remember what he should do?”Zhao Gao said coldly.
"Milord, I remember that if I am discovered, I will take poison and commit suicide!”The man of sacrifice knelt down and replied.
Zhao Gao signaled with his eyes, and the men of sacrifice immediately retreated from the darkness, as if they had disappeared into the black curtain and never appeared.
……
At Zhao Yu's table, Zhao Yu was drinking to his heart's content. Old Zhao and the other two were also mostly sober.
Old Zhao looked at Zhao Yu and thought of how the imperial physician had told him that he had less than three months left to live. He couldn't help but be amazed by Zhao Yu!
Old Zhao, who was extremely unwilling, finally couldn't help but ask Zhao Yu,""Old Yu, do you think that the current Emperor really has less than three months to live?”
When Zhao Yu heard this, he looked at Old Zhao in surprise. He did not expect Old Zhao to be so concerned about the Emperor's life and death.
"If Your Majesty doesn't take the pill, you might be able to live a few more years.”Zhao Yu replied.
"Pills?" Old Zhao muttered softly.
Seeing Old Zhao and Old Wang's confused expressions, Zhao Yu smiled and said,""The necromancers in Xianyang City are all liars. The pills they refine are all made of lead and mercury, which contains lead poison. One pill is enough to kill a white mouse, let alone His Majesty taking it for a long time.”
Hearing this, Old Zhao, Old Wang, and Old Meng were completely stunned!
As for Old Zhao, his expression instantly darkened, but he quickly recovered.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Lao Wang. Based on his understanding of the Emperor, if the pill was really poisonous after he returned to the palace to verify it, all the alchemists in Xianyang would be in trouble!
Although Old Meng's eyesight was not as good as Old Wang's, he had followed Qin Shihuang for many years and knew that according to the Emperor's character, all the alchemists in the world would suffer together!
After drinking a bowl of wine, Zhao Yu sighed,"Old Zhao, judging from your attire, you might be a businessman. If you have the opportunity to come into contact with the dignitaries in Xianyang, you must ask them to tell Qin Shi Huang that he can no longer eat medicinal pills!”
As for why he suspected that Old Zhao and the other two were merchants, firstly, it was because the status of merchants in the Qin Dynasty was extremely low. Even if they had money, they could only wear the clothes of ordinary civilians. Secondly, Old Zhao and the other two were extravagant. Only the Great Shang could have such extravagance.
Hearing this, Old Zhao and Old Wang looked at each other and laughed."Haha, it's time to lay our cards on the table. Old Yu, I didn't expect that you would still find us after hiding for so long. That's right, the three of us are merchants who travel to Xianyang.”
"I will definitely think of a way to convey your words to Qin Shihuang.”Old Zhao replied in a deep voice.
When Zhao Yu heard this, he revealed an expression as if he knew this would happen. He smiled.
