Eastern Sea.
Qin Shi Huang's fleet had already begun to return, and the so-called immortal mountain on the horizon had long disappeared.
"Immortal Master Xu, we didn't even see the mountain.”
Ying Zheng sat on the roof of the ship, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Clearly, they did not find any celestial mountains on this trip.
No matter how they sailed, the distance between them and the Celestial Mountain on the Clouds did not decrease at all.
After a heavy rain, the mountain disappeared without a trace.
"You said that you came back from Penglai, but you couldn't lead the fleet to Penglai. Why?”
There was no sadness or joy in his voice.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong before. Now it seems that the Water God doesn't want to meet mortals, which is why the Immortals disappeared.”
Xu Fu did not panic at all.
It was as if from the moment they set sail, they knew that they would return empty-handed.
"Oh? The Water God doesn't even want to see me?"
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and carries the fate of the country. The Water God is living in seclusion because he doesn't want to be tainted by karma. Instead of saying that he doesn't want to see Your Majesty, it's more like he's afraid to see Your Majesty.”
Ying Zheng tapped his fingers on the table.
If it was before, with Xu Fu's appearance and words, he might really believe it in order to pursue immortality.
However, that letter had already planted the seeds of suspicion in his heart.
Now that he heard this, he felt that it was perfunctory.
" I've heard that Immortal Master Xu's alchemy books are outstanding," Ying Zheng said with a slight frown." Can't you help me refine the Immortal Medicine directly?"”
In the past, he would never ask so much even if he had a trace of doubt.
However, how could he be willing to give up on his obsession with immortality?
Hearing this, Xu Fu shook his head." This Undying Medicine takes the good fortune of heaven and earth. Although I know a little about alchemy, I can't do anything about it."”
"I see."
Disappointment flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes." I will return to Xianyang in a few days, but I can't search for immortals anymore. I have to give an explanation for the matter of the Immortal Medicine."”
During this period of time, Little Nineteen had been in charge of Great Qin.
As time passed, there would definitely be trouble.
Therefore, after he returned to the sea, he planned to immediately end his eastern tour and return to Xianyang.
Qin Shi Huang said that he wanted to return.
It was exactly what Xu Fu wanted.
"Your Majesty, this Water God likes gold, silver, and treasures. As long as we find an outsider to bring his treasures out to sea, we will definitely be able to exchange them for the Immortal Medicine.”
"The Immortal Medicine is a priceless treasure. If it can be exchanged for gold and silver, why wouldn't Your Majesty be happy?”
People from the outside world.
Wasn't he talking about himself?
When he went out to sea, who knew where he would take his belongings?
Xu Fu was also testing how much Ying Zheng was willing to pay for immortality.
It would be convenient for him to repeat the same trick and ask for an exorbitant price.
"Gold and silver?"
The vigilance in Ying Zheng's heart had already risen to the highest level.
Xu Fu was testing him. Although he was going back to Xianyang, he was also testing Xu Fu.
A gleam of light flashed across his eyes as he asked again,"
"Immortal Master Xu, since you know the Golden Stone Pill Art, can you refine some life-prolonging pills first?”
"Whatever materials you need, as long as you can find them in the world, I can find them for you.”
Longevity pill?
Xu Fu was actually prepared for the First Emperor's question.
If he was really an ignorant person, how could he cheat the First Emperor and escape?
In fact, he really knew the Golden Stone Pill Technique.
The kind of medicinal pills refined from mercury and cinnabar pills would give people a feeling of floating after eating them.
As for whether it could prolong one's life or not, there would be no side effects for a while after eating it. Who knew the true effect?
In short, that feeling of floating like an immortal would definitely make the First Emperor completely trust him.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The Longevity Extending Pill is with me.”
"However, my cultivation is limited. The pills I refine only have the best effect the first time. After that, the effect will gradually decrease until it is completely useless.”
"The only thing that can truly make Your Majesty live forever is the Immortal Medicine.”
After saying this.
Xu Fu stood up and bowed before leaving.
Her steps were quite elegant, and her temperament was quite good.
Obviously, he felt that his performance was flawless.
Looking at Xu Fu's back, Ying Zheng couldn't help but think of a sentence from the report letter.
"The pill is poisonous."
"When the time comes, it's better to find an animal to test the medicine first.”
Ying Zheng did not intend to put himself in danger.
Half an incense's time later, the boat reached the shore.
Ying Zheng boarded the carriage back to Xianyang and asked Zhang Han to bring all the letters that he had accumulated over the past few days.
During the time he was out at sea, other than the Immortal Medicine, he was most worried about whether there was any trouble in the court.
Soon, Zhang Han returned.
"Your Majesty, the report from the Black Ice Platform and all the memorials are here.”
"Yes."
Ying Zheng nodded and picked up the first letter from the paper.
Ever since the appearance of paper, there was no need to climb over the mountain of bamboo slips anymore. It was much more convenient.
Brother Zheng had to admit that this invention was really ingenious.
Was it Little Nineteen's own wisdom, or was someone imparting it to her?
He didn't have time to think about this question.
Ying Zheng's face suddenly darkened.
"Xiao He, Han Xin, Xiang Yu, Zhang Er, Zhang Ao? Who are these people?"
He had promised Ying Zimo to find some of his own men.
However, he had thought that he would look for Fu Su's hanger-ons. He did not expect that he would attract these people of unknown origins.
"The Academy was built on the land at the foot of Mount Li?”
When Ying Zheng read the letter, he was infuriated again.
He had originally planned to build Epang Palace there to house the palaces of the six countries and show Great Qin's might.
Now, it was used to build an academy?
Where else could the palace be built?
"In the days when I wasn't around, there must have been many memorials to impeach Little Nineteen, right?”
Ying Zheng turned his gaze to the opposite side. Ever since Zhang Han handed in the memorial, he had been acting like a mute.
This was Qin Shi Huang's family matter. If he wasn't asked, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to report it.
"Your Majesty, this family has the most memorials. The content…Cough."
Zhang Han took out a stack of memorials.
These memorials were directly presented to Qin Shi Huang and not through Ying Zimo.
After delivering the letter, he returned to his seat, lowered his head, and looked down like a wooden statue.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, opened each and every one of them and read them carefully.
The content was completely different.
The Little Lord was acting like a bear!
The Little Lord is acting up again!
The Little Lord is acting like a bear again!
Even through the letter, he could feel that the ministers wanted to cry. They all hoped that Brother Zheng would come back soon to restore the court.
Although they were expressing their dissatisfaction, they did not dare to say anything too harsh. The officials were almost like little daughters-in-law who were bullied.
There were also memorials from the officials of the aristocratic families.
The wording was harsher.
Most likely, he was extremely mischievous, unreasonable, whimsical, and bold.
"Initially, I wanted to test the thoughts of the officials in the imperial court. Who knew that Zimo would be so noisy?"
After reading all the memorials, Ying Zheng's forehead was already filled with black lines.
