Zu Long, who looked excited, stepped forward quickly, held Li Yunze's hand tightly, and looked at Li Yunze's face like lightning.
Sure enough, after so many years, the person in front of him is still the same as before, as if time has stopped on him.
"I heard that His Majesty was attacked, so I was worried."
Li Yunze calmly took off Zulong's hand and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
"I'm sorry, Master, I'm worried."
Zu Long, who was smiling broadly, invited Li Yunze to take a seat. Instead of talking about his assassination, he started chatting about his children.
Li Yunze Saran, the skill of talking about family members first when talking like this, I taught him myself.
The only family members Zu Long talked about were his children. As for concubines, he didn't even mention a word about them.
Afterwards, the conversation turned to the Western Regions, and they talked about some interesting stories about the Qin army's destruction of Dayuan, as well as about the progress of the railway line to the west to the sea and other work matters.
At this time, Li Yunze, who personally taught Zu Long these conversation skills, knew that the real drama was coming.
Sure enough, after drinking a glass of wine, Zu Long seemed to have said inadvertently, "Does Master know if there are immortals in this world?"
'I knew it!'
Li Yunze wanted to roll his eyes, but he knew that Zu Long would eventually pursue this matter. After all, he was enjoying the wonderful life of being the best in the world, so he naturally wanted to do his best to extend his life and continue to enjoy it.
"No."
Li Yunze shook his head without any hesitation, "You have also studied mathematics, physics and chemistry. You should know that everything in this world has its own laws of operation. There is no immortal who can break such laws."
"But Taifu."
Zu Long stared at Li Yunze with bright eyes, "I think the Taifu is an immortal."
Facing Zu Long's probing gaze, Li Yunze's expression was calm and calm, "No."
Zu Long's expression suddenly became anxious.
If anyone else had dared to do this to him, they would have...
"Master."
Zu Long took a deep breath and directly showed his cards, "After so many years, why does the Taifu's appearance remain the same?"
"That's what you're talking about." Li Yunze raised his hand and touched his face, "I take good care of myself, and I'm naturally beautiful."
Zulong ‘(~_,~)’
If it were another person, Zulong would be called the Axeman now!
Seeing that Li Yunze was not on the right track, Zu Long simply stopped pretending, "Master, I want to ask for immortality!"
"Then please."
Li Yunze spread his hands to indicate, "You are the emperor, you can do whatever you want."
"I would like to ask my master to teach me the secret of immortality!"
"I do know how to maintain good health." Li Yunze sighed, raising his hand and caressing Zulong's head. "But I really don't know how to maintain longevity."
He was indeed not fooling Zulong, he really didn't understand.
When he traveled across all the worlds, he relied on the system to restore his condition every time. Later, as his physical fitness improved, the degree of aging naturally weakened greatly, and now it seems that his appearance has not changed for many years.
But he can't teach this thing.
Even if he wanted to send the system out, he didn't know how to send it out.
Besides, if an emperor really wanted to live forever, that would not be a good thing.
It was indeed a good thing for the emperor himself, but for others, it was a natural disaster.
There is no immortality, but there is indeed health preservation.
Li Yunze said that he was a Taoist, which was not nonsense. He had indeed learned his true skills from Master Luo in the world of Water Margin. Naturally, he also learned Taoist health-preserving methods.
Looking at Zulong who clearly didn't believe it, Li Yunze sighed and said, "I can't give you what your Majesty wants, but I can teach you Taoist health-preserving methods, which may extend your life a little. But..."
When he heard that it could increase his lifespan, Zulong immediately expressed his opinion, "What do you want, Tutor? Just say it bluntly, as long as it is something that I have, I will give you whatever you want!"
Li Yunze smiled and pointed at the jade seal placed on the desk not far away, "When your Majesty's time is approaching, just give me that."
Ying Zheng turned around and saw what Li Yunze was indicating, and his expression suddenly became wonderful.
This, this, this... what does this mean?
After leaving Xianyang Palace and returning to his residence, the guests Li Si sent to deliver the invitation had been waiting for a long time.
Li Yunze confiscated the invitation and just asked the guest to bring something to Li Si: "Don't squander the friendship we developed when we were at the Talent Recruitment Center so easily."
After sending away the retainers, Li Yunze went to the study, wrote down the health regimen of Erxian Mountain, and then sent it to Zulong.
The next day, he boarded the car bound for the Western Regions.
Li Yunze, who returned to the Western Regions, was busy supervising the construction of the railway line to the west, and at the same time arranging the supply of logistical materials for the Western Expedition Army.
He is very busy at work.
The Qin army on the western expedition has now divided its forces.
They turned all the way south, captured the Khyber Pass, the gateway to Tianzhu, and rushed directly into the hinterland of the Mauryan Dynasty.
There are many people and food in Tianzhu, but their fighting ability and fighting will are not very good.
Facing the wolf-like and tiger-like warriors of the Qin army, they could only resist with numbers.
But during the Warring States Period, the Qin Army was always famous for killing many people!
Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the number of Qin troops killed was close to two million!
This was 2 million BC. During the same period, Greece and Rome fought wars of annihilation with only thousands or even tens of thousands of people.
Maurya Dynasty has many iron heads?
No problem, the Qin army never asked how many enemies there were, only where they were!
These are all military achievements.
They had been fighting in the Western Regions for ten years, and the military exploits they accumulated and the "specialties" they collected locally were enough to buy a lot of fertile land, build a large house, and arrange a group of servants to make a living when they returned home.
With such stimulation and motivation, everyone will naturally strive to be the first in a war.
What's more, the Qin army's military laws are harsh, and those who are afraid of fighting will hurt their heads.
If it were the beggar army in the late Ming Dynasty, not to mention standing out with their military merits, they would not even be able to afford food or even food for themselves and their whole family. In this case, let them fight tooth and nail and risk their face?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The civil servants are eating themselves up one by one, and they also make the sergeants who have no food to work hard for their glory and wealth.
The sergeants did not directly draw their swords and kill the civil servants, because they had already done a good job of Confucian brainwashing.
The Qin army marching south is progressing smoothly, and the resistance of the Maurya Dynasty is estimated to not last long, and the outcome will inevitably be a direct collapse.
However, the Qin army, which was fighting all the way to the west, encountered a lot of trouble.
The reason is simple, it's too desolate.
Apart from nomadic tribes, there are only a few towns and villages on the entire plateau. What's even more exaggerated is that the roads are very difficult to walk. It can even be said that there is no such thing as a road. It's all about marching in the wild.
The Qin army lacked logistical supplies and could not find many decent targets if they wanted to rob things.
Meng Tian, who was on the front line, wrote to Li Yunze almost every day, urging him to repair the railway as soon as possible.
Li Yunze said that I also wanted to build it, but after all, it was building a railway, not building a castle with sand, so it couldn't be that fast.
In order to speed up the progress, Li Yunze spent a long time at the construction site to supervise the progress, until one day Li Xin came to see him.
"What's the matter with Protector Dadu?"
In a simple tent, Li Yunze touched his face with a towel and asked casually.
"Master."
Li Xin, who had fire blisters at the corners of his mouth because he was anxious to get angry, first bowed his head to the end, and then said sincerely, "Please help me~~~"
"You didn't even make it clear. You came up here just to call for help. I have to know what's going on."
"Your Majesty ordered that the horse thieves in the vast sea should be wiped out within a certain year..."
Li Xin was still talking about Xiang Yu.
Although he mobilized heavy troops and continued to penetrate deep into the vast sea, he faced horse thieves who came and went like the wind and the terrifying desert. Many Qin troops simply disappeared after entering and never came out again.
Li Xinxin was so anxious that he even personally led his troops into the desert three times, but he could never find any trace of Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu, on the other hand, constantly attacked the railway lines, destroyed small beacon stations, and even often destroyed a section of the railway.
They now have experience, that is, directly dig the roadbed, dig a big hole, pour kerosene, wood, coal, etc. into it to light a fire, and use blazing flames to burn the indestructible rails into twists.
The line was interrupted multiple times.
Li Yunze looked at him with curiosity, "You didn't find a guide?"
If you want to find the lair of horse bandits in the vast sea, you must have a guide who is familiar with the terrain.
Li Xin said helplessly, "We did too much when we entered the Western Regions. The locals were either captured to do hard labor or fled far away without a trace. The remaining ones hated the Qin Dynasty and were unwilling to help."
"There is no one in this world that cannot be bought, but the price offered is not enough."
Li Yunze responded with a smile, "Even the emperor can be bribed."
The emperor can indeed be bribed. For example, the ancestor dragon can be bribed with the elixir of longevity. The prerequisite is that he has this thing.
The best outcome of lying to him is to imitate Xu Fu and go to sea, and then never return the favor.
Otherwise, either the head is moved, or the person is in a pit... This is not an adjective.
Looking at Li Xin thoughtfully, Li Yunze raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "The vast sea looks very big. Maybe the places where activities occur are just those oases. We paid a lot of money to bribe local people as guides and arranged for people to block and compress them one by one."
Their space for activities. When the space for activities is gone, then naturally only face to face will be left."
It is self-evident what the outcome will be when horse bandits and Qin army warriors face each other.
Li Xin saluted Li Yunze solemnly, and then walked away quickly without stopping.
The one-year period is about to expire and he doesn't have much time left.
In fact, Li Yunze had an even more cruel trick that he didn't tell Li Xin, which was to look for the few oases in the desert and directly pollute the water source every time he found one!
This is a trick used by the Huns. It is very cruel but very easy to use.
When fighting, you can naturally use all possible means, but now you are just suppressing bandits, so there is no need to be so ruthless.
Li Yunze forgot about this matter in the blink of an eye.
However, Xiang Yu, who was forced out of the vast sea by Li Xinxin's new tactics, learned after questioning the prisoners that the Qin army's sudden change in fighting style came from the advice of the emperor's tutor.
He even heard that the giant steel beast that could run on the railroad tracks was made by this master.
Xiang Yu, who couldn't survive in Hanhai, immediately decided to seek revenge on this guy who seemed to be playing tricks and scheming behind his back, and was probably a soft-spoken intellectual!
