7. Wang Ben's Death? Ancestral Dragon smiled and begged Huahua,
Outside the Taoist temple.
Wang Ben rode on his horse and arrived at the scene.
As soon as the horse reached the gate of the temple, Wang Ben and Xilulu pulled on the reins and hopped off the horse, striding into the temple.
Zhao Gao, who had been expelled from the Taoist temple by Qin Shihuang earlier, was waiting outside.
Naturally, he was also spirited.
He took the initiative to welcome them and asked.
"General Wang Ben?"
"What wind blew you here?”
Wang Ben was furious, but he came here with the courage to risk his life.
How could he be willing to talk nonsense with Zhao Gao?
Seeing that he was blocking the way, he only replied coldly.
"Get out of the way, Wang Ben!”
Zhao Gao, who had been scared stiff by the First Emperor, was already pissed off, and he was infuriated by Wang Ben's contempt.
However, they were still afraid of Wang Ben, who had two marquises in his family.
Zhao Gao hid his unhappiness well.
He cupped his fists and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty has already swallowed a golden pill and is currently neutralizing the medicinal effects of the immortal pill.
General Wang Ben, you are an old man of the court.
His Majesty did not allow anyone to disturb him.
So, General Wang Ben, please leave. If there was really something, he could wait for His Majesty to finish meditating and report to the Qin royal palace.”
However, he wanted to keep the peace.
Wang Ben didn't want to give him a way out.
Before he could finish, she pushed him away with her big hand.
"Move aside!"
"Wang Ben requests an audience with His Majesty!"
As he spoke, he walked into the Taoist temple.
"Hmm? What does General Wang Ben mean by this?"
When Zhao Gao saw this, he was naturally a little angry.
She stood up and walked up to Wang Ben again. She grabbed Wang Ben's sleeve and asked again.
Wang Ben tilted his head and said coldly," This is the last time I'm asking you to move!”
"Wang Ben wants to see His Majesty!"
Zhao Gao couldn't take it anymore.
He immediately flew into a rage and shouted,"How dare you! Wang Ben, how dare you ignore His Majesty's decree? Are you trying to rebel?？”
"Where is the Tiger Troop?"
"Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tiger Troop guarding the Taoist temple on all sides responded.
" Capture Wang Ben!"
But at this moment, after hearing Zhao Gao's order.
All of them looked hesitant.
"Ah, this…"
"What, are you all deaf?"
When Zhao Gao saw this, he was so angry that he was about to go crazy.
Things were getting out of control.
It was a close call.
A male voice finally came from the depths of the Taoist temple.
He stopped everyone.
" Enough, stop!!"
A tall figure in a black robe appeared on the high platform in the depths of the Taoist temple.
At this moment, even if he just stood there.
There was a kind of domineering aura that held up the sky.
This person was naturally none other than Ying Zheng!
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing the First Emperor appear,
Zhao Gao and Wang Ben, who were blushing a moment ago, knelt down.
Among them, Zhao Gao was the most excited.
"Your Majesty, General Wang Ben, he…"
It was obvious that he wanted to sue Wang Ben.
However, he didn't expect that before he finished speaking.
Qin Shihuang waved his hand and once again dismissed the other party.
He turned to Wang Ben and nodded.
"You may leave."
"Wang Ben, come in."
Seeing this, Zhao Gao was naturally aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As for Wang Ben, he cupped his fists and walked into the temple with his sword in hand.
This was the first time he had come to the legendary palace of the First Emperor.
To be honest, this place was not as luxurious as he had imagined. White curtains were hung all around the palace. At this moment, as the wind blew, they were like white clouds that were dense within.
At first glance, it did give off a fairy-like feeling.
As for Qin Shi Huang, he walked to the palace and sat down.
They were less than a hundred meters away from each other, but Wang Ben couldn't even see the face of the First Emperor.
He had just come here and stood still.
Qin Shi Huang asked him again.
"Tell me, Wang Ben, why did you come here in such a hurry?”
"What Zhao Gao said just now is not wrong. I just gave the order not long ago that no one else is allowed to approach this Taoist temple. Do you know that I can sentence you to death for your actions just now? Even your father, Marquis Chehou Wang Jian, couldn't plead for you?”
"I came here today with the determination to die.”
Wang Ben wasn't as tactful and mature as his father, Wang Jian.
In addition, at this moment, he came with the intention of remonstrating.
Hearing Qin Shihuang's words, he knelt on the ground, untied the sword at his waist, and placed it in front of him.
"Oh, the determination to die?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly.
Actually, he had already guessed something, but he still asked.
"Is there something more important to you than your own life?”
"Of course there is; that is the foundation of Great Qin!”、
Wang Ben replied without hesitation.
"As long as Your Majesty can give up on seeking immortality, stop consuming pills, and devote more energy to the court. What's there to regret if Wang Ben dies?"
"I, Wang Ben, would like to ask Your Majesty to give up on consuming the Immortal Pill. Your Majesty, please agree!"
At the end of his speech, he prostrated on the ground and respectfully requested.
"Giving up on swallowing the golden core…You came here today for this?”Qin Shihuang raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Not bad."
"Your Majesty, you've been taking the elixirs of Xu Fu and the other necromancers more and more frequently recently, but your physical fitness is getting worse and worse. I really can't eat that thing anymore. Otherwise, I'm worried…I'm worried…"
Wang Ben said as he started to inhale and exhale.
Seeing him like this.
Behind the curtains, Qin Shihuang, who was originally sitting upright, laughed out loud.
She took the opportunity to continue his sentence and continued.
"What are you worried about?"
"Are you worried that Great Qin's so-called everything will turn out to be nothing but a dream?”
"Worried that I won't even be able to live for two or three years, let alone a thousand generations, and will die suddenly. At that time, the court would be in chaos, and the remnants of the six countries would rise again. Was that what he meant?”
