Several Iron Eagle Guards immediately threw their weapons to their companions. Then, two Iron Eagle Guards grabbed Xu Fu's arms and lifted him up.
The other two Iron Eagle Guards carefully searched Xu Fu's body.
Very soon, Xu Fu's body was completely searched. Not even a single thread was left.
Apart from some bottles and jars, Xu Fu also found some miniature bamboo tubes in his sleeves.
Zhao Xi stepped forward and took out all the items that Xu Fu had brought with him from the plate, and brought them directly to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng sized up the items on the plate, and then his eyes were attracted by those miniature bamboo tubes.
Then, he picked up a miniature bamboo tube, placed it under his nose, and sniffed it gently.
As expected…
Eh?
Soon, the small words on the miniature bamboo tube in his hand made his pupils shrink.
Looking at the bamboo tubes on the plate one by one, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up slightly.
Then, he strode down from the high platform and looked at the puzzled gazes of the civil and military officials in the hall, as well as Xu Fu's uneasy expression.
"I can also communicate with immortals."
Before Ying Zheng came down, he had hidden the mini bamboo tube in his sleeve, and then, while everyone was dumbfounded and in disbelief, he continued,""In the name of the Great Qin Emperor, I order the gods of the heavens to show their divinity.”
The moment Ying Zheng raised his hand, everyone's eyes were focused on his movements. No one noticed that the small shadow that fell from his sleeve was instantly swallowed by the raging fire.
Soon, the flames in the cauldron expanded and erupted again.
"Immortals descend, gods bless, Your Majesty, ten thousand years, the Great Qin will prosper.”
The blue flames danced as the sixteen words stunned all the officials.
However, Li Si reacted quickly and shouted,""Ten thousand years for His Majesty, ten thousand years for Great Qin."
"Ten thousand years for His Majesty, ten thousand years for Great Qin."
All the officials were awakened by Li Si's words and shouted in unison, each wave louder than the last.
Xu Fu's eyes were filled with disbelief. How was this possible?
How did he know all these?
At this moment, Ying Zheng had already walked up to Xu Fu and said lightly,""Nothing is impossible. How can you fool me with a little trick?”
After saying that, Ying Zheng walked up to the high platform, grabbed a handful of bamboo tubes from the plate, and walked to the fire cauldron, throwing them all into the cauldron in front of all the civil and military officials.
Soon, the fire cauldron flourished again, and dark blue words appeared one after another.
Instantly, all the officials in the court understood. What miracle?
It was all nonsense. The secret lay in the bamboo tube that His Majesty had thrown down.
"Can you tell me now?"
Ying Zheng had directly cut off all of Xu Fu's escape routes, forcing him into a dead end.
If he wanted to live, it was impossible to play tricks!
As long as he confessed honestly, he might be able to save his life.
As expected, Xu Fu knew that he had nowhere to go when he saw that the First Emperor had seen through all his tricks.
His entire person became dispirited and no longer had the high spirits. He said with a sage-like appearance,"What does Your Majesty want me to say?"
"I want the formula for this thing."
Ying Zheng's eyes sparkled with an aggressive cold light as he scrutinized Xu Fu.
"What use does Your Majesty have for a little trick like this?”
Xu Fu was stunned. Logically speaking, he should not have asked, but he knew that he had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and did not have long to live, so he might as well give up.
"I want to use it to refine a cauldron of Peerless Immortal Pills for Great Qin. It will be enough to make Great Qin awe the barbarians and sweep across the world.”
Ying Zheng disdained to lie, and there was no need to.
Other than himself, no one else in the world knew the value of black gunpowder.
Of course, Ying Zheng knew about black gunpowder, which was nothing more than sulfur, carbon, and saltpeter. But so what if he knew? He couldn't possibly study this stuff himself, right? It would be such a waste if he accidentally blew himself up.
He was just worried that he could not find a suitable person to deal with the black gunpowder. Now, Xu Fu, this old fool, had delivered himself to his doorstep.
As for Xu Fu, even if he had made black gunpowder, it was only used to fool around. It was simply a waste of God's gift.
However, he was different. In Ying Zheng's memory, he could not help but recall the hundred-year humiliating era of Huaxia two thousand years later.
I will pay back all the losses that China suffered in the past and give them a taste of their own medicine.
Soon, the Central South would fall into Great Qin's hands.
At that time, not a single grain of food would be planted on the land there.
The mountain of poppies would float all over the land of Central South.
These poppies would one day follow Great Qin's Invincible Fleet and break through the gates of the western world, ushering in an era of happiness until death for them.
The entire hall was in an uproar. Although they didn't know what the Emperor meant, the aura of looking down on the world and swallowing the four seas made people's blood boil.
What kind of golden age was that?
All the races bowed their heads, and the world was vast. There was no one who could match them, and it made people's imaginations run wild.
"I am willing to hand over the formula. I wonder if Your Majesty can be lenient and spare my life?”
Xu Fu could not help but kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Spare your life?"
Ying Zheng paused for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter and said,""I won't kill you, but I will support you to go out to sea.”
Kill him?
How was this possible?
Wouldn't it be a pity if such a talent didn't work for Great Qin?
Betrayal?
Ying Zheng was not worried at all. In terms of manipulating people's hearts, how many people in this world could compare to him?
Arriving before Xu Fu, Ying Zheng slowly helped Xu Fu up under his incredulous gaze.
The moment he bent over, he said in a voice that only Xu Fu could hear,""Zhen knows that you have found Yingzhou, so Zhen will not kill you and will give you everything you want. As long as you are loyal to me and serve the empire, I will grant you supreme glory and wealth.”
Xu Fu, who stood up, had a blank expression on his face. He was even more horrified in his heart.
How did His Majesty learn of this secret?
Could it be that someone had betrayed him?
Impossible!
The boatman had been silenced by him. Only the disciples who had gone out to sea with him knew about this.
However, he had repeatedly instructed that no one was allowed to leak it.
Which bastard betrayed him?
Xu Fu shuddered at the thought of this.
It was a pity that he still wanted to deceive His Majesty. He did not know that he was the biggest fool in the world.
His every move was seen by His Majesty.
He had to find this traitor.
