Chapter 430: An Expert Appears
"Half a month!"
"What can we do?"
Hou Sheng did not complain, Lu Sheng took the initiative to offer half a month, whether it was half a month or a month, the end was destined not to be good.
They really can't refine the kind of elixir that is not harmful to the body, but also has benefits to the body, and the benefits are immediate.
"Brother Hou, is it really impossible to contact the expert who gave you the elixir?"
What Lu Sheng was talking about was the pill that could bring seriously ill patients back to life.
They originally had two of them, and one of them was sold to a former nobleman of Chu State at a high price. Then they ran away to Jieshi, fearing that they would be settled by the other party.
The second one was used on a seriously ill man to save himself that day.
"In the past few years, I have been trying to contact that expert, but to no avail."
"Even if we could, half a month would be too late."
"Unless he happens to be in Xianyang, it's impossible."
Hou Sheng shook his head and said.
Lu Sheng said: "Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we can't give up!"
Hou Sheng hesitated until the end and thought it made sense, and said: "Let me give it a try. While we are in contact, we will continue to study how to get a pill. If it doesn't work, we can use flour to make a similar pill. Let's see.
Whether they can cope with it, they don't know about elixirs anyway."
"Let's talk again!"
Lu Sheng calmed down and said guiltily: "Brother Hou, I dragged you into this, I'm sorry!"
Hou Sheng did not blame anyone, but said helplessly: "Brother Lu came to me at that time. He believed in me and was willing to take me to make money together. Needless to say, I understand."
Next, they proceed as planned.
Time passed so quickly, half a month passed, and thirteen days passed without realizing it.
They couldn't figure out anything, so they finally made a small pill out of flour, boiled the medicinal materials, soaked the flour, and made it full of medicinal flavor, pretending to be a fairy medicine.
Anyway, this thing won't be harmful to the human body, but it won't do any good either.
More than ten days have passed since I contacted the expert, but there is still no result.
"Two days left!"
Lu Sheng frowned and said: "If Flour can pass the test, we will still have glory and wealth. If not, we will only die."
"Leave it to fate!"
Hou Sheng gave up struggling and chose to lie down until the day he died.
No matter so much!
Soon, it was the day before delivery.
If it were before, they would have been very worried. Since they chose to lie down, they would just ignore it. They would eat and drink well today, prepare to go to the guillotine tomorrow, and sleep comfortably that night.
Late at night.
"You're looking for me?"
Hou Sheng suddenly heard someone talking next to him.
At first he thought he was dreaming, but then he felt it was very real and not like a dream. He jumped up quickly. At some point, a hazy figure appeared in front of him, and he was about to shout in panic.
"It's me."
The man said again.
This voice sounded a bit familiar to Hou Sheng.
He quickly lit the oil lamp next to him. Under the light as big as a soybean, he finally saw the other person's face clearly and said excitedly: "Senior, you are really here!"
This person was the expert who gave him the elixir. He didn't expect that he would show up the day before after half a month of anticipation.
Hou Sheng was so moved that tears filled his eyes, and he knelt down again and begged: "Tomorrow morning, I will be in danger of my life. Please help me, senior."
"What worries about life?"
The man said calmly: "I happened to be near Xianyang. I didn't expect you to be in Xianyang too, so I came to take a look."
Hou Sheng couldn't care about anything else. Survival was the most important thing. He told his story completely and begged: "I also know that what I did before was wrong and I was greedy for money. But we don't want to die. Please save me, senior."
!”
"As long as I can survive, I will no longer lie to people, and all the money I get from deception will be given to the poor people."
"Please, senior!"
he pleaded.
The expert was silent for a long time, took out a small brocade box from his body, and sighed: "Because we are destined, I will help you one last time. From now on, you don't have to look for me anymore, and you won't be able to find me."
Putting the brocade box down, the man opened the door and left.
"Thank you, senior!"
Hou Sheng chased him out to see him off, but when he got to the door, he found that he couldn't even see his shadow.
Come without a trace, go without a trace.
He is indeed an expert!
"Brother Lu, we are saved!"
Hou Sheng picked up the brocade box and hurried to the next room, woke up Lu Sheng and told the master what happened.
"real!"
When Lu Sheng saw the pill, he cheered excitedly.
If the expert takes action, they will probably survive.
In the middle of the night, they were too excited to sleep.
Early the next morning.
Zhao Gao was wary of them escaping, and before dawn, as soon as the curfew ended, he sent people to surround their residence.
"Your Majesty is waiting for two envoys. When can they set off?"
one person asked.
If it had been yesterday, they might have been a little scared or even worried, but today they were in good spirits. Although they didn't sleep much, they were still full of energy and felt stable.
"Don't worry, let's have something to eat before entering the palace."
Hou Sheng asked: "Has your Majesty said when we will enter the palace?"
The man said: "Before noon at the latest."
"That's enough. It's not far from the palace. We are not in a hurry, and neither is Your Majesty."
Lu Sheng looked at the other party and said arrogantly: "What are you in a hurry for?"
They have full confidence in that expert.
The people sent by Zhao Gao had no choice but to surround them nearby and wait with them.
It would be fine if they could come up with the elixir, but if they couldn't, they would die miserably. Zhao Gao's people shouldn't be angry because of the two dying people.
——
In order to witness the elixir, Ying Zheng gathered a large number of ministers and came to Zhangtai Palace to wait.
Bai Zhong was also among them.
But they waited for almost an hour and still didn't see the two messengers arriving.
"Zhao Gao, why haven't people come yet?"
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
Zhao Gao was worried that something unexpected had happened? He quickly said: "I will send someone to urge you."
After waiting for a long time, the person who urged them finally came back and said that the two envoys were still there, but they were not in a hurry to go out, which meant that Ying Zheng and the others should continue to wait.
"Then just wait!"
Ying Zheng said calmly: "If they can't wait for what I want, they will regret it!"
Everyone could feel the chill emanating from Ying Zheng's body, and Zhao Gao felt even more panicked. He could only continue to wait, hoping that those two guys would not be ignorant.
Ying Zheng waited for nearly an hour with so many ministers.
Those ministers had many complaints and anger towards the two envoys, but they did not dare to show it now, so they could only endure it for now.
"Your Majesty, the envoy is here!"
At this time someone came in and said.
"Messenger!"
Ying Zheng said loudly.
After a while, the two magicians strode into the main hall of Zhangtai Palace. Looking at them in high spirits, they seemed to be full of confidence.
Is this really an elixir made?
