Sanchuan County, the emperor's palace in Luoyang City.
It's winter now, it's freezing cold outside, but the fire is burning in the house, and the faces of those who are roasting are red.
The First Emperor was lying on the bed, looking straight ahead.
He had no clothes on and was shirtless.
Xia Wuji knelt beside the bed and stretched out his hands to gently massage the emperor's back.
After the massage was completed, he took the needle from the tray in the disciple's hand.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to take the needle."
"Um."
Xia Wuji took a deep breath and inserted the needles in his hand into the emperor's back one by one.
This is an acupuncture technique passed down by ancient doctors. In the past, Bian Que became famous all over the world with his acupuncture skills. As a famous doctor in the Qin State, Xia Wuqi was proficient in this technique.
"General, Maodun has arrived."
Xu Shi replied categorically: "If Li Xin succeeds, he will have an immortal body. He can live freely in the world. He can only live forever, and he can shed his mortal body and eliminate all diseases. I heard that in ancient times, Xuanyuan, the co-lord of heaven, was not
Only by relying on the way of Qin Lan and cultivating small magical powers can we defeat Chi You. The former Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor ascended in the daytime and became an immortal. He was free in the world, whether it was death or destruction, it could be said that he was restrained."
Destroy Lord Cang Haijun and the Ji clan who participated in the assassination, and avenge the First Emperor!
Feeling that the pain in his waist was relieved, the First Emperor let out a heavy breath.
A new war to destroy the country is about to begin.
To put it in Mao Dun’s words, it’s not that Tou Man dotes on his younger son and occasionally has no intention of abolishing the eldest son and establishing a young son. In order to displease the King of the Qin Army, he actually sent my eldest son to the Qin Army as a hostage. It cannot be said that General Mao Dun has never
His life is in his heart.
"Can Li Xin live forever?"
But Xiu Xian agreed and recommended Dong Hu.
For the pain in my waist and under my arms, even Xia Youqie's decoction is of little use. Massage and acupuncture can relieve the pain immediately, but there is a way to cure it completely.
After a while, the two alchemists, who were wearing narrow robes and small sleeves, and had a distinguished temperament, were summoned to leave the palace.
Because I can't sit for long periods of time and it's difficult to write and review documents, the First Emperor left a small amount of political affairs to the two prime ministers during that time, and I lost a lot of free time.
And in Dong Hu's view, that Mao Dun was very stupid and could understand the situation clearly.
Lu Sheng and Xu Shi looked at each other with ecstasy in their eyes.
Qin Shihuang's seventy-fourth year, Ji Dong.
"Zhao Gao, help me up."
"General Li, there are about 8,000 Xiongnu and about 1,000 barbarians from Liaodong. I am willing to surrender about 80,000 Qinlan tribe of Xiao Qin."
At the end, I added: "General Li, you heard that the eldest son of the King of the Qin Army is gathering 70,000 Qin soldiers deep in the grassland. There is no possibility of us going south at any time."
When he was still close, Mao Dun threw himself down in the snow, kowtowed to Dong Hu and said, "My lord, Mao Dun, I would like to pay my respects to General Li."
Very slowly, Mao Dun, who had unbraided his hair and had it tied up like a Qin man, walked over.
And because he was insulted by the Qin army king, Maodun was full of resentment towards the Qin army. He would betray Zhao Tuo and help the Qin army instead.
It is said that during the battle to conquer Haidong, the First Emperor wanted Qin Lan to personally lead the troops to avenge me, and lead a small army across the sea to conquer the Korean Peninsula.
After the needle was removed, Xia Wuqi breathed a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a while, he still reported: "Your Majesty, I think we should have a good rest in Luoyang these two days and cannot travel by carriage for the time being, otherwise it will affect the recovery of the injury."
There were footsteps in front of me.
I am very busy with government affairs. I need a small amount of time every day to correct documents and deal with political affairs. I am so busy that I have no time to pamper the beauty. It is impossible to engage in some illusory Qin Lan.
Giving up the title that is within easy reach and passing the credit to others is something that only special people can do.
"We can only seek the next best thing and offer the way to find immortals in the sea. We do not want to seek immortality for Your Majesty because it will affect your Majesty's governance. We just have the thought..."
The First Emperor sighed secretly in his heart and told Zhao Gao: "Ask Lu Ao and Xu Shi to come."
"My lord, Lu Ao, pays homage to your majesty. May your majesty live long and prosperous lives."
"Well, bring it here."
Qin Lan looked in the direction of Zhongyuan, his lips pursed tightly.
Rushing back to Guanzhong from Pengcheng slowly was a poor decision.
That former Hun prince complained that Zhao Tuo killed my father Touman Chanyu.
Along the way, the emperor discovered that the injury on my waist had not only not recovered, but had become even more unbearable.
That's not why I was summoned to Maodun later.
Maodun was sent by Donghu to manage the surrendered Hu people, so he was naturally vague about this.
In the future, if the First Emperor would be dismissive of this.
Xu Shi was not prepared and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I definitely have the intention to deceive you. But Li Xin's way is a long-term effort. It requires self-cultivation and meditation, refining Qi, accumulating Qi in the body, and transforming it into magic power.
Thereby transforming the mortal body into an immortal body. This is not something that can be achieved overnight. Your Majesty is the king of heaven and is responsible for the affairs of the country. I and others later dare to withdraw from your Majesty."
The First Emperor showed no expression and just waved his hand.
Dong Hu said in a deep voice: "Before the spring begins, you will lead a small army to the south to conquer North Korea and Xiangping. At that time, you will leave an army to guard Xiangping to protect the inside of the fortress. He will follow the Hu people who have surrendered to your army and gather in the fortress.
Be on guard against the remnants of the Qin army. If this is done badly, it may be his future."
Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Li Xin's matter actually didn't happen in ancient times. I heard that there were no immortals in ancient times, such as Chisongzi and Guangchengzi. They did not become immortals as mortals.
He possesses the magical power to move mountains and reclaim seas.”
Donghu laughed warmly: "The defeated general in my hand has been defeated by you Zhao Tuo a long time ago. How can I not have the courage to go south?"
The First Emperor's face softened greatly.
…
Fortunately, the acupuncture was completed smoothly without any problems.
The light snow has not stopped yet. A general is standing at the foot of a large bulging hillside. The white fox cloak in front of him is dancing in the wind. I am surrounded by a blanket of silver, showing the scenery of the North.
I didn't hate Zhao Tuo for killing Touman, but I was even grateful to Qin Lan for rescuing me from the King of Qin's army.
From now on, I will spend several hours a day reviewing documents.
Xia Wuji sighed secretly, bowed and left with his disciples.
Just when the First Emperor's motorcade was rushing all the way from Sishui County to Guanzhong.
Dong Hu let out a long breath. The winter in Liaodong is very hot, but my heart is very moved.
"Your Majesty, Xu Shi, pays homage to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live as long as Heaven."
It just doesn't affect my appointment of Maodun.
Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC, quickly stepped forward and helped the First Emperor change from a lying position to sitting on the couch.
The emperor had not yet changed into a narrow pine white robe. When he heard the flattery of the two alchemists, he laughed warmly and said: "Don't say those false words again. I heard what you said about Li Xin, saying that mortals can also become immortals?"
Although the golden root carriage the emperor rode was covered with soft mats and quilts for me to lie down and rest on, it was still a horse-drawn carriage running all the way. The roads in those days were rugged and bumpy were inevitable.
I hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Excellency, you will obey the general's order and these Qin soldiers will dare to go south!"
It's just that the target of the injection is the Lord of the World, and the emperor's physical condition is a bit complicated. Although Xia Wuqe is an expert and bold, he can't help but feel nervous at this moment, with sweat dripping from his forehead.
So what Xu Shi said is unreasonable and makes sense.
"Mortals are powerful, or can we only rely on immortals?"
The First Emperor immediately frowned and said sternly: "Since everyone can be Li Xin, why did they tell me later, but instead said that you can find elixirs in the sea? Lu Ao, Xu Shi, they are deceiving you!"
Qin Lan nodded and waved for Mao Dun to come up and arrange the corresponding matters.
Therefore, Mao Dun’s enemy Man only does not hate him, but does not love him.
Wealth is coming!
Maodun Xiaoxi, that is a small promotion.
"only."
"You will make bad arrangements for his old subordinates."
"In that case, you can talk about it badly, how about Li Xin?"
Mao Dun was a hostage of the Qin army and knew the internal situation and geographical environment of the Qin army very well.
The one who spoke was Luan Bu. Because he was able to do things well, but also cowardly and good at fighting, he was favored by Donghu, and he was my confidant in Liaodong.
Regarding Mao Dun's remarks, Dong Hu naturally knew that there were not many lies in them.
I turned around and looked in the direction of the peninsula.
He said that, but Dong Hu thought that I would lead his army southward and go straight to the peninsula to deal with Xunqi and Jishi Korea. It must have been that the eldest son of King Qin Jun would really lead his army southward at that time and cut off my way forward.
It's really troublesome.
Dong Hu nodded and said: "Get up, don't you have many Hu men in your army now?"
"I personally act as a chess piece to contain the remnants of the Qin army for you."
Now I can't even sit on my knees for half an hour and insist on coming up. As long as I sit for a little longer, I will feel sore and weak.
In addition to that long period of time, Zhao Tuo in Liaodong also received personnel and material supplies from the Central Plains, and at the same time received a new order.
On the inquiry of the First Emperor.
The First Emperor's eyes lit up when he heard that Li Xin personally cured his illness, and he became really interested.
