Old Wang felt a chill run down his spine.
He turned around, trembling.
"General Meng!"
As expected.
Meng Tian had a sword by her waist and looked at him with a serious expression.
"Tell me, what are you disappointed about?”
Old Wang was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground.
"General Meng, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those words.”
Meng Tian narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly."
"Nonsense, Your Majesty. Go down and get twenty big boards yourself.”
Old Wang was delighted when he heard that.
Although he needed to be beaten twenty times.
Moreover, after these twenty slaps, it would probably be difficult for him to even get out of bed.
However…
Meng Tian did not sentence him to death for his nonsense.
Giving him twenty slaps was equivalent to letting him live.
"Thank you, General Meng. Thank you, General Meng.”
Meng Tian snorted."
"Considering that this is your first offense, if you do it again, it won't be something that can be solved with twenty strokes. Alright, you can go down.”
Then, he looked around and shouted,"
"Hurry up and patrol! If a single Xiongnu sneaks into our Great Qin territory, I will hold you responsible.”
Shua!
The surrounding soldiers scrambled away from Meng Tian.
After the soldiers left.
Meng Tian let out a long sigh and looked in the direction of Xianyang.
He had a scale in his heart.
He knew.
The reason why Ying Zheng sent the old Qin people to guard the border of Great Qin was because he had no other choice.
More than a year ago.
Great Qin had just been unified.
The defeated soldiers of the Six Nations were escorted to Great Qin's borders.
However…
If they were to use all the soldiers from the Six Nations, the risk would be too great.
Therefore…
Ying Zheng had no choice but to send his most trusted old Qin man to the border of Great Qin.
On one hand, it could allow the old Qin soldiers to suppress these defeated soldiers and prevent people with ill intentions from inciting these defeated soldiers to rebel.
On the other hand, it would allow these defeated soldiers to quickly assimilate into Great Qin.
However…
Such behavior would easily cause dissatisfaction among the old Qin people.
After all, they had worked so hard to help Ying Zheng conquer the world.
In the end.
After unifying the world, they still had to come to this cold place to guard.
Meng Tian knew all of this.
That was why he had given the old Qin soldier a lenient punishment.
He looked at Xianyang, lowered his head and muttered,"
"Your Majesty, I can shut one person's mouth, but I can't shut everyone's mouth.”
......
In Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng had already sent Li Xin away.
The workaholic was ready to start another day of reading memorials.
However…
Ever since he entered the second qi layer.
He only needed four hours a day to mark all the memorials that he could read in an entire day.
"Ah, I'm really tired."
Ying Zheng gave a big stretch.
Suddenly.
The new Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate walked in.
He cupped his hands and bowed.
"Your Majesty, the necromancer Xu Fu requests an audience. He said that he has an elixir of immortality that he wants to present to Your Majesty.”
Hearing that, Ying Zheng's interest was immediately piqued.
"Oh? Longevity medicine? Summon Xu Fu to see me."
In the training hall.
His master had once told him.
The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy in the outside world was thin.
Not to mention the Elixir of Immortality, even ordinary spirit herbs were very rare.
But now, someone actually said that there was an elixir of immortality to offer to him.
Therefore, Ying Zheng was a little curious.
Did this person really have the Elixir of Immortality or was he lying to him?
"Elixir of Immortality? Interesting, interesting."
Ying Zheng muttered to himself.
A moment later.
A middle-aged man dressed in a long robe with the air of an immortal slowly walked into Zhangtai Palace.
If Ying Zheng hadn't sensed a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation from Xu Fu's body…
He might really think that this person was a successful alchemist.
After Xu Fu saw Ying Zheng, he cupped his hands and bowed in a neither servile nor overbearing manner,"
"I, Xu Fu, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up slightly as he asked him unhurriedly,"
"I heard from the Zhongche Manor that you are prepared to give me the Elixir of Immortality?”
Xu Fu took a deep breath and slowly said,
"Your Majesty, there are three divine mountains in the sea. They are called Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou.”
"I once went out to sea and was lucky enough to enter a divine mountain. I received an immortal pill from an immortal. Although it's not an elixir of immortality, it has the effect of prolonging life.”
An immortal pill that could prolong one's life?
Ying Zheng became even more curious.
"Then give me the so-called immortal pill.”
Xu Fu carefully took out a wooden box made of red sandalwood.
"Your Majesty, these are immortal pills.”
At this moment.
Xu Fu felt uneasy.
He knew that this box was not an immortal pill given to him by an immortal.
It was just that he took a bunch of strange things and refined them with an alchemy furnace.
Even he himself did not know what the effect was.
However…
Xu Fu believed in his eloquence.
He believed that with his glib tongue, he could definitely fool the First Emperor in front of him with a few words.
He knew that the emperor before him was obsessed with immortals and immortality.
However…
He did not know.
A few months ago.
Ying Zheng had really met an Immortal.
Moreover, he had even taken an immortal as his master and opened the path of immortal cultivation.
Xu Fu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Then, he slowly walked towards Ying Zheng with the rosewood box in his hands.
