Journey To the West From The Qin Dynasty

The 'elixir' that Ying Zheng usually eats?

Li Jue looked at the green pill in front of him and was dumbfounded.

He thought it was He's Bi, even ordinary Jade Jue, but it turned out to be a pill.

This is not a elixir for prolonging life, but a poisonous elixir for killing people.

Ying Zheng had already eaten, and he looked refreshed. Li Jue knew that this was temporary, and the sequelae would slowly accumulate.

But Ying Zheng was still looking at him after he finished eating. If he didn't eat, it would be disrespectful and he would be beheaded.

Li Jue was speechless and helpless.

Looking at Zhao Gao and some eunuchs around him, the envious look in their eyes, he wanted to tell these people that he didn't want to eat.

If possible, he even wanted to give it to Zhao Gao.

But I'm afraid not.

Li Jue picked up the emerald green elixir rather embarrassingly, and then ate it into his mouth in public, but actually kept it in his hand secretly.

He pretended to be intoxicated, and then bowed to salute Ying Zheng, "Thank you, King, for giving me the pill, I am very frightened."

Seeing this, Yingzheng was very satisfied, "If you like it, just behave well, and I will never hesitate to reward you."

besides?

Li Jue wanted to cry, but he should perform worse in the future.

Ying Zheng got up and asked someone to bring some money and cloth to Li Jue, as well as more than a dozen jars of court jade liquid wine.

Then he said: "Killing the king of Qi is not a small matter. You are loyal to Da Qin, and I will never forget it. These are all rewards for you and sent to your home."

Li Jue was overjoyed, this is a good thing.

Giving money and food is the most important thing.

He quickly thanked him, but Ying Zheng suddenly changed his face and said solemnly: "But you remember, if you kill Qi Wangjian this time, and you don't survive tonight, you will be exiled!"

Li Jue was startled, and remembered what Fusu had told him, that Qi Wangjian was the king of subjugation, and everyone was watching him.

Moreover, Daqin wants to kill Qi Wangjian. There are rumors that Qi Wangjian is a cultivator of immortals, and it is unknown who killed him.

Therefore, if Li Jue killed Qi Wangjian and died suddenly, it must have proved the rumors in the market, and it would be extremely detrimental to Daqin's reputation.

Therefore.

No matter what, Li Jue should be fine, and even blushed.

One can imagine Ying Zheng's intention in giving these things. If Li Jue is fine, he can eat and drink well, and go out to meet people in vain.

If something happened to Li Jue and he died suddenly, these things would be his grave offerings.

There was a smile on the corner of Zhao Gao's mouth, and a chill flashed in his eyes, Li Jue dared to abolish his son-in-law and make his daughter a widow.

He already hated Li Jue to the bone, and this time he wished that Li Jue would kill King Qi and die suddenly.

Even if he didn't die suddenly, it would be better if he was plagued by bad luck and diseased.

Even so, it can prove that it is unknown for Li Jue to kill the cultivator.

Zhao Gao even made up his mind that when he went back this time, Li Jue would not survive tonight, and even if he survived, he would definitely be sick.

Li Jue didn't know what Zhao Gao was thinking, but he could tell from Zhao Gao's face that this dead eunuch was full of bad things.

There is a calculation in my heart.

He clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will never disgrace my mission."

Ying Zheng nodded, and then said: "Go down, wait for the king to summon you, and then come out and kill King Qi."

Then leave and go to the front hall.

Zhao Gao also followed, and an ordinary eunuch came forward and took Li Jue to a side hall near Xiantai.

The eunuch is guarding, and there are guards waiting outside the door.

Soon someone brought Li Jue some food and drinks.

When Li Jue heard the noise outside, he knew that King Qi had been escorted into the palace, and all the heroes were paying their respects to Ying Zheng.

From a long distance, he could hear Ying Zheng's hearty laughter and the congratulations of the officials.

He didn't go out. In fact, if he didn't want to kill King Qi, he wouldn't even want to enter the palace.

So after he sat down, he drank by himself, but when he picked up the cup, his face changed.

The eunuch had been serving at the side, noticing Li Jue's expression, he asked quickly, "Director Li, what's wrong?"

Li Jue said, "Nothing."

He looked at the eunuch carefully, and found that this was an ordinary eunuch, he was not flustered at that moment, and there was nothing suspicious in his mind.

but.

The table of wine and meat in front of him was full of poison.

All kinds of mixed poisons can't be distinguished by ordinary people, and ordinary pharmacists can't detect them at all.

That is to say, Li Jue has Bian Que's inheritance and alchemy. For these things, you can tell them just by looking at them.

And if he smelled it carefully, he could smell the smell of poison.

Who the hell poisoned him! ?

Li Jue frowned. He ate in the palace, and the place where he could prescribe medicine was the imperial dining room, and on the way to deliver the food.

but.

Li Jue thought that he was conscientious and would not offend others, and it was impossible for anyone to want to kill him in the palace.

He drank wine and ate meat by himself, and the poison contained in these wines and dishes was not large enough to kill a person.

Especially for him, for him, it is actually a matter of operating a heavenly art, which can be resolved.

but.

The person who poisoned did not know.

Li Jue murmured, "Who wants my life? This poison is definitely not fatal to an ordinary grand master."

"Could it be the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who didn't want me to kill King Qi, so they wanted to poison me? But it's impossible, without me, there would be other executioners."

At this moment, Li Jue thought of Zhao Gao.

The person who can poison him in the palace, who has the means and ability, is Zhao Gao.

After carefully questioning the eunuch, the person who brought the food, and the situation in the imperial dining room, he can be sure that it is probably Zhao Gao, not him, and it cannot be separated.

A chill flashed in Li Jue's eyes, he was already intent on killing Zhao Gao.

Originally, although he had some grievances with Zhao Gao before, it was more than that. He also thought that he would wait for Zhao Gao to develop a wave, and it would not be too late to kill him.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao actually courted death and wanted to poison him.

Then you don't have to show mercy.

It's just that Li Jue wouldn't kill Zhao Gao so cheaply, otherwise it would have no effect except to vent his anger.

And it will make people suspect that he may have killed it.

After all, Zhao Gao had grievances with him, and there were still a few people who knew about it, and they could get involved with him with a little bit of clinging.

Li Jue didn't want to get into trouble.

Killing Zhao Gao must be justified and well-founded.

Li Jue thought of a solution in his mind, and continued to eat and drink without stopping.

The celebration banquet outside had already begun, and it was gradually reaching its climax.

Li Jue ate all the food, and then someone brought another serving, which was clean and comfortable for him to eat.

Although he can detoxify, he still feels uncomfortable after eating these things.

bang bang.

There is a knock on the door.

The eunuch opened the door, and when he saw who was coming, he quickly knelt down and saluted.

The person who came was Da Qin's old grandfather, Gong Gong, he was not at the ceremony, but came here instead.

Li Jue was taken aback for a moment.

After Mr. Mo came in, he interrupted Li Jue to salute, found a seat on his own, and then glanced at the wine and meat on the table.

Shaking his head, he said: "After taking the old man's elixir, you still overeat."

Li Jue was taken aback for a moment, then he remembered that the green elixir bestowed by Ying Zheng was made by Duke Mo and Lord Taishan.

He said, "What's wrong?"

Gong Gongdao: "This old man has practiced alchemy with outsiders since he was a child. It has been eighty years since he was a child, and he can be regarded as successful in cultivation."

"Some time ago, I swallowed the monster golden elixir, and my strength has greatly increased. I have stepped into the realm of refining qi and transforming gods. I feel something in my heart. I refined a furnace of elixir yesterday, which can prolong life. The king gave you one, and it is yours. blessings, but you must not spoil them."

Li Jue was speechless, and he didn't even want to eat.

In fact, he didn't eat either.

On his face, he said respectfully: "So that's how it is. I have spoiled something good, and I asked the Lord to let the king not give it to me in the future."

Mr. Mo was taken aback.

The eunuchs on the side were also stunned.

They've never seen anyone who doesn't want an elixir.

Duke Mo frowned, and said, "You don't want the elixir refined by the old man? That is a tribute that only the king can eat. Even the old man is not qualified to eat it."

"Give it to you, that is your blessing, you actually despise it."

Li Jue was very helpless, and said: "My lord misunderstood, because I have no blessings, and dare not tarnish the elixir."

Mr. Mo carefully looked at Li Jue's face, and confirmed again and again. Seeing Li Jue's "sincere" gaze was the only confirmation that he was not lying.

Just nodded and said: "You can be regarded as self-aware, but if you still want it, you may not have it."

"The king rewarded you this time, not only because you saved Fusu, but also because you wanted to kill King Qi, in order to prevent your sudden death, so it was given to you."

Li Jue was silent.

Die faster like this.

But he still thanked, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

Gong Gong said again: "I came here this time, not because I feel sorry for you for ruining that elixir, but actually I want to ask about the situation of your teachers."

Li Jue knew it well.

These days, he actually made a high-profile announcement on purpose that he has three teachers, all of whom are experts in the world.

It was even brought to the garrison camp, just to let the world know, everyone knows.

Otherwise he is so good, how to explain?

In the past, it was all pushed to the dead, which was nothing more than a trivial matter. It is obviously unreasonable to push some of the things he knows later to the dead.

Experts outside the world are the most suitable.

Experts, high-level people come and go, come and go without a trace, what do you want to ask, just go to the world to find out-of-this-world experts.

Anyway, now, the master of the world has shown his face, saved Fusu, and shown his methods.

He's not bragging.

Li Jue repeated the words he had prepared long ago, and praised the three teachers to the fullest. At the same time, he also repeatedly stated that they are masters of the world and do not like common things in the world.

It was just an exaggeration, and he himself didn't believe it.

However, when Gong Gong heard it, he believed it deeply and believed it to be true.

Even the eunuch next to him was astonished, his eyes shone brightly, as if he wanted to worship.

Li Jue finally understood that when he told the ancients about the masters of the world, they absolutely believed in them.

Gong Gong sighed: "It's a pity that I can't see them after they left, otherwise it would be good to study the method of alchemy."

Li Jue said: "Grandpa, my teachers don't know how to make alchemy."

Gong Gong said contemptuously: "What do you know? It's because they didn't teach you. With such outstanding medical skills, you even used pills to revive Fusu. How can you not make alchemy?"

Li Jue was silent.

Come on, you're right.
