In front of the mansion.
"How have you been, Duke Lu?"
Xiao He had an easygoing smile on his face, just like when he was the chief official in Pei County.
He didn't put on any airs just because he had climbed up a high branch.
He even took the initiative to introduce them to each other.
"Little Lord, this is Pei County's Duke Lu. I learned a lot of my knowledge from him.”
"Greetings, Little Lord."
Lu Wen cupped his hands.
Looking at Ying Zimo, who was only waist-high and carrying a bag on his back, she couldn't help but feel as if a lifetime had passed.
The person who had been supervising the country and ruling the world these days was this little fellow?
It wasn't because he didn't respect Ying Zimo, but because his appearance was way too different from what he had imagined.
Moreover, he had never expected that Ying Zimo would come out to welcome him personally.
"This old man is truly ashamed to have Little Lord personally come.”
As he spoke, he turned around and called his family members who had followed him to Xianyang.
"Zhi 'er, Su' er, why aren't you greeting the Little Lord?”
As soon as he finished speaking.
"Greetings, Young Master."
Lu Zhi stepped forward and gave a gentle bow.
A trace of gentleness appeared in the originally indifferent and cold eyes of the red phoenix.
Duke Lu and Xiao He looked at each other with a strange expression.
Back in Pei County, who didn't know what kind of character this young lady of the Lu Family had?
Xiao He still remembered.
Pei County's County Magistrate personally came to matchmake, wanting Lu Wen to betroth Lu Zhi to his son.
Xiao He still remembered that day.
Lu Zhi glanced indifferently at the county magistrate's eldest son opposite him.
"County Lord, you should find him another mother. Your son looks like he hasn't had enough milk for a few years.”
Her red lips parted slightly, almost breaking the county magistrate's defense.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi also invited a matchmaker in advance to remarry the widowed county magistrate and find a new wife.
In the end, this matter was naturally left unsettled.
When the county magistrate's son saw Lu Zhi, he wished he could take a detour, almost becoming a psychological shadow.
"I was afraid that Su 'er would offend the Little Lord, but now it seems like it's fine."
Lu Wen heaved a sigh of relief.
Opposite him, Ying Zimo was also curiously sizing up Lu Zhi.
As expected of a Spicy Lü.
Lu Zhi, also known as the Lage-Lu people, would be the future mother of the world. His thoughts and methods could be ranked at the top among women in the past few thousand years.
It even made Zhang Liang and Han Xin suffer.
If it weren't for the era, Wu Zetian's title as the first empress might have been snatched away.
He was only a young man and was born in a small place like Pei County, but his bearing was even more noble than Sister Yin Man.
"Sister Zhi 'er, Xiao He told me that you're very beautiful. When we met today,"
"What happened after we met?"
"I realized that Mr. Xiao is still too steady. He's very conservative with his words. You're much prettier than he described.”
Ying Zimo exaggeratedly drew a big circle with his small hand.
A few words actually amused Lu Zhi like bathing in the spring breeze.
Seeing this, Lu Su, who was originally afraid of strangers, also walked up with her lips pursed.
"Greetings, Little Lord."
Lu Su pinched the corner of her skirt, her eyes flickering.
He looked eager, as if he wanted to pinch Ying Zimo's face.
Lu Wen had a child at an old age. She was the youngest daughter, so there had never been a playmate of the same age in the family.
"Little Lord, can Su 'er be your friend?”
"Of course, but since we're friends, we should prepare some greeting gifts.”
Ying Zimo rubbed his chin. A moment later, his eyes lit up.
He actually didn't care at all, pulling Lu Zhi and Lu Su's small hands and walking towards the back garden.
His fleshy hands were so warm that Lu Zhi could not bear to shake them off.
"Mr. Xiao, please settle Mr. Lu down. I'll entertain the two young ladies first.”
Only one sentence was left behind, causing Xiao He to stand rooted to the ground in a daze, and Lu Wen to be in a mess.
"Has Little Lord always been like this?”
"Hahaha, if it wasn't for the important state affairs, he would usually be this childish. After all, the little lord is only at this age.”
Xiao He was not surprised and even patted Lu Wen's shoulder.
"Duke Lu is tired from the journey, how about you settle down in the residence? The Little Lord has also instructed you that the palace is very big, so you don't have to go to Xianyang to find a place to stay.”
"Isn't this a little overboard? Today, Little Brother Xiao and Little Lord went out to welcome you, this old man is already overwhelmed by your favor."
Lu Wen was a little surprised.
The Little Lord had actually said that he would let the Lu Family live in the residence of a noble in the palace?
What kind of honor was this? How could he bear it?
"The young master has always placed great importance on talents. Duke Lu, you can stay here at ease.”
Xiao He naturally thought so.
After all, although Lu Wen was a little older, his ability was quite good, especially when it came to discerning people and treating things. He was even better than him.
The art of recognizing each other was famous far and near.
However, what he didn't know was that a large part of the reason why Ying Zimo valued the Lu Family was because of Lu Zhi.
"Duke Lu, there's something you're wrong about. No matter how Xiao He thought about it, he still had to tell the truth.”
"Oh? Brother Xiao, why don't you just say it?"
"Actually, the Little Lord and I are at the door today to watch the ceremony of Immortal Master Xu Fu entering Xianyang.”
"Immortal Master Xu Fu has arrived today?"
Even when Duke Lu saw Ying Zimo, he was calm.
However, when he heard the name of Immortal Master Xu Fu, he couldn't help but reveal a fiery look in his eyes.
He was also in his fifties.
Naturally, they were eager to extend their lifespan.
Now that he had regained his senses, he finally had the time to look at it carefully.
As expected, people were coming and going on Xianyang Street. They were all gathering at the city gate where they had come from. There were also many luxurious carriages.
It was expected that many of Great Qin's nobles would go to welcome them, and even the First Emperor would probably come.
"If that's the case, why doesn't Little Lord go?”
Duke Lu could not help but ask the question in his heart.
"I don't know about this matter.”
Xiao He shook his head slightly.
He had been with Ying Zimo for a long time, so he could see some clues.
It seemed that the Little Lord didn't like that Immortal Master Xu Fu very much.
However, he also did not know the reason, so he naturally did not dare to make wild guesses.
.........
On the other side, the officials came out of Xianyang to welcome Immortal Master Xu Fu.
After the reform of the official salt trade, Xianyang had not been quiet for long.
Xu Fu's arrival was undoubtedly like a huge rock smashing into the calm water, causing waves to rise again.
The group also headed straight up Mount Li.
The beautiful scenery of Mount Li.
A group of Qin soldiers was heavily guarded, and they were moving up the mountain path.
The carriage ruts pressed on the ground, leaving deep marks. A black pill furnace was tied up on the carriage with hemp rope.
The destination was the Taoist temple on Mount Li.
"I've already ordered the Gongshu family to forge the pill furnace that Immortal Master Xu needs. Are you satisfied?”
In the carriage, Ying Zheng was sitting opposite Xu Fu.
After experiencing such a big scene today, ordinary people, especially those who had lied, would inevitably show a trace of panic.
On the other hand, Xu Fu had always been calm.
He had the demeanor of a Taoist and even dared to make a request.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, using this Golden Stone Pill Technique to refine a life-prolonging pill requires a lot of medicinal herbs.”
"Oh? What do you have?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Xu Fu said seriously,
"Of course, the best cinnabar, mercury, stalactite, purple, and green herbs all have the properties of immortality. Moreover, they are compatible with the five elements and contain endless energy.”
"When the time comes, I will use alchemy to refine it and connect its qi. Then I will be able to obtain the medicine to prolong my life.”
This was indeed medicine.
After eating it, it made people feel as if they were stepping on clouds. It really had the illusion of ascending to immortality, and they eventually became addicted to this feeling.
As the saying goes, addiction.
If Ying Zheng tasted this 'Longevity Extending Pill', Xu Fu might not be able to refuse his request to go out to sea again.
If Ying Zimo was here, he would definitely complain.
"F * ck, isn't this the Five Stones Powder?”
"Do you have these items in the national treasury?"
Ying Zheng didn't find any flaw or incongruity in Xu Fu's words.
She turned to ask Li Si.
"Your Majesty, this lowly subject has the impression that there is mercury and cinnabar, but I have no impression of the rest. Moreover, those few items are relatively rare, and I'm afraid it will take some time to find them.”
"Then send someone to find them. Our Great Qin controls the world, so it won't be difficult for us to find these things.”
Ying Zheng had to see with his own eyes whether this life-prolonging elixir was effective or not.
Seeing Qin Shi Huang so straightforward.
Xu Fu spoke again,"
"Your Majesty, medicinal pills can only be used for a while. If you want to truly obtain longevity, please allow me to go out to sea again and visit the immortal mountain for you.”
"When the time comes, bring 3,000 boys and girls, gold, silver, and jewelry.”
"I believe that the Water God will not reject Your Majesty when he sees that Your Majesty is sincere in seeking immortality.”
Water God and Immortal Medicine.
Even if he asked for money, it seemed righteous and justified.
It had to be said that Xu Fu was indeed good at bluffing.
She cleverly combined her true purpose with Ying Zheng's desire for longevity.
