Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 22 Your Majesty the First Emperor, have you knocked?

Fusu was a little confused.

To bow with an empty head is to salute the king. You need to use dance-like movements, first raise your hands high, call the king by name, then put your hands in front of your forehead, bow down dignifiedly and slowly, this is called an empty head.

However, just as Fusu and Mengtian raised their hands, they were stopped by the first emperor. At this time, Qiqi knelt on the ground in a gesture of surrender, extremely embarrassed.

It seems that the First Emperor was quite uneasy!

Moreover, Fusu could still smell the strong smell of blood in the air, and just now he saw with his own eyes a little waiter running past carrying a plate with a human head on it.

Fusu's heart moved slightly, he took a peek at Meng Tian who was at the side, and continued to bow down, while carefully opening his mouth: "Qizuo Shihuang, Minister Fusu and General Meng Tian left Xianyang on the 27th of Duanyue and entered Nanjun on March [-]st. , arrived at Jiangling on April [-]th, and then the ministers and the army stationed in Jiangling to search the surrounding counties. General Tian led hundreds of troops into Yunmeng County."

"We got four alchemists in total, 430, kill them all!" He lowered his head deeply and spoke anxiously.

Duanyue is the first month. The Qin Dynasty used the Zhuanxu calendar, and the tenth month was Yuan Shuo, which was the beginning of the year.However, October is not called the first month, but continues to be called October, but January is changed to the end month.

Xianyang is more than a thousand miles away from Jiangling. Even if you take the straight road of Qin Dynasty, it will take more than a month to march all the way at the speed of [-] miles per day.

In addition, the purpose of this trip was to capture alchemists. Everywhere they arrived, the army had to stay for several days, so it took more than two months to reach Jiangling.

"My son and the general are working hard, please raise your head." Shi Huang's voice was hoarse and calm, without any emotion.

"It's not hard to share the worries of the First Emperor." Fusu and Meng Tian secretly glanced at each other again, then raised his head and looked at the First Emperor.

I saw Shi Huangdi wearing a crown on his head, and colorful jade stones hanging from twelve silk threads hanging in front of his face, and his deep eyes could be vaguely seen.

"If we reach Jiangling, half of the Chu land will be already there, right?" The First Emperor spoke slowly, with a hoarse and low voice.

"Yes!" Fusu didn't dare to look for a long time and lowered his head again.

"Half of the Chu land, alchemists only get more than four hundred?" The First Emperor said leisurely.

In the past, Chu State was able to suppress the Emperor of Zhou and all the princes in the north with the power of one country. The importance of Jiuding relied on its vast territory and large population.

This was a behemoth that was three times the size of Qin. It was so huge that the king of Chu didn't even bother to count how many people there were.Anyway, the Chu region has a warm and humid climate and rich products. In later generations, the so-called land of fish and rice was all in the Chu region.

The king of Chu never sent food or money. If the kings of Chu in the past dynasties had not been a little lax in fighting wars, and summed it up as "send", the soldiers and weapons would not have been short.After the Qin Dynasty destroyed Chu, there was only a rough estimate of the number of people living in the country, that is, the number of people living in the city, at 500 million.

Chu is mountainous and has water networks, so it is inconvenient to travel, and it is not easy to build cities.If there are 500 million citizens, the savages are afraid of tens of millions!
Such a big country that can reach the Qin Dynasty instead of half of Qin's Dingkou, half of the land, only got more than four hundred alchemists?

My son, you are very serious about letting yourself go.

It should be noted that nine thousand alchemists were found in Neishi County, where Xianyang is located!
Fusu was shocked.

"It's my crime!"

He hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground again: "Of course, I never slack off in the land of Chu. I checked day and night, just to let one person go."

"Nor... kill someone by mistake!" He said meaningfully.

There was a clatter of jade stones, and the first emperor was obviously so angry that the jade handle on the crown began to shake, and Fusu didn't dare to lift his head.

He knew that his father was no longer a father since he abandoned all his first and last names and directly addressed him as the First Emperor!
But a talented and bold emperor!

He wholeheartedly wants to create a great cause that will last forever, and the relationship between father and son has long been indifferent!

As his eldest son, if he wanted to meet him, he had to do so honestly, twenty steps apart!

The title is also the same as that of other princes and even ministers in the country: he is called the First Emperor, not his father!

"Fortunately, I still have the status of a public clan, otherwise, I would be called His Majesty the First Emperor." Fusu thought to himself.

No wonder he thought this way, his position is not high, because he will be the weaker champion.

According to the laws of Qin, when Your Majesty meets the First Emperor, you cannot talk directly to the First Emperor at all, but need to be relayed by the chamberlain.

The servants stand at the same level as the first emperor, so they are called "Your Majesty".

In other words, if Fusu is not of the public family, he can only talk to the chamberlain, and the chamberlain will represent the First Emperor at this time and say, His Majesty the First Emperor!
"Good one, good to kill one person!" The First Emperor's voice sounded faintly, but Fusu could hear the overwhelming anger in it.

"So, my superior general, what about you?" The indifferent voice spoke again, but this time it was aimed at Meng Tian.

"I heard that you led a hundred troops to Yunmeng County on the seventh day, and returned to Jiangling alone on the eighth day. Why?"

And Meng Tian's expression also changed slightly, he didn't have time to speak since he came in, but unlike Fu Su, he was kneeling straight all the time without bowing his head.

He lowered his eyes, looked at the nine steps at the feet of the First Emperor, and said respectfully: "As a reminder to the First Emperor, I will go to Yunmeng County on the [-]th, search the county, and find out that there are twenty-three alchemists, and more than twenty who are called spiritual beasts. Kill them all!"

"Then, I heard from Chu people that there are gods in Yunmeng Mountain. I led my guards to Yunmeng Mountain to capture him!"

"I don't want to," he said through gritted teeth, "I have to meet strangers in the mountains!"

A violent cough sounded, but it was Fusu beside him. He winked desperately at Meng Tian, ​​but it was already too late.

There was a golden cry of "canglang", but the First Emperor had once again drawn the sword from his waist.

"Alien!"

He slashed fiercely with his sword on the bamboo slips on the desk, with a bang, the weft broke and the bamboo pieces flew around.

"immortal!"

He slashed the bamboo slips several times with his sword, but he still couldn't understand his hatred. He kicked hard on the desk, kicking the entire desk flying, and the bamboo slips scattered all over the ground.

"Also, Alchemist!"

Like a trapped animal, he kicked away the scattered bamboo slips, and the sword danced wildly in the air.

"Everything is a lie to me!"

"They are all roosters, dogs, and thieves. They have no king and no father!"

"How can there be room in my world for strangers, alchemists and gods?"

"I can't wait to kill all of you, pigs and dogs with my own hands!"

"Kill kill kill!"

Seeing that the first emperor seemed to be insane on the jade steps, several servants stood up at the corner of the wall, and tried to come up to support the first emperor at the risk of being cut twice by a sword.

And Fusu's face instantly turned white.

He glanced at Meng Tian angrily and resentfully.

Earlier, I told you, don't talk about this matter in front of the First Emperor, you have to say it.

Sure enough, the first emperor was furious!
However, although the First Emperor was cold and easy to kill before, he was not so crazy.

Is it possible that the First Emperor fell into disgrace?
