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

"Your Majesty has probably already left the palace. I don't know where he went!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gao's face suddenly turned ugly!
How is this going?

How come he suddenly disappeared again?
It was fine yesterday, why is it gone today?

You know, it's almost time for the morning court session, why is there no one here yet?!

He paced back and forth anxiously, feeling extremely worried!
You know, it has been raining heavily for nine days and ten nights now!
After the morning discussion yesterday, it rained heavily all day long!
Although the heavy rain seemed to have eased a little, in fact it had not eased at all!
After another day and night of heavy rain, the flood disaster near CRRC and Longxi is on the verge of breaking out!

He alone has received countless disaster reports from surrounding officials!

Even in Xianyang city, water had begun to accumulate, reaching up to the knees!

You should know that Xianyang City is near Zhongche County, which is one of the highest terrains!
Even here, water has gradually begun to accumulate, so there is almost no way to get to the rest of the place!

Zhao Gao could imagine the anxiety of many ministers and officials today by just using his toes to calculate!
In fact, since last night, Zhao Gao discovered that Ying Zheng had disappeared at some point.

At first, Zhao Gao didn't take it seriously and just thought that Ying Zheng had gone to rest.

However, early this morning, he came to find Ying Zheng in the heavy rain, wanting to serve Ying Zheng during the morning court session.

But he was shocked to find that Ying Zheng was not in the bedroom!
Not only did he not know where Ying Zheng had gone, even the eunuchs and the Black Ice Platform guards around him did not know either! !

"try to find!"

"Hurry up and find it for me!"

"We must find His Majesty before the morning court session!"

Zhao Gao asked anxiously. Even though he didn't want to see the heavy rain, he understood the severity of the flood!
If Ying Zheng is not present at the morning court today and no good countermeasures can be discussed, then the flood disaster will really be unstoppable!
That would definitely be a scene of devastation!
However, what made Zhao Gao somewhat desperate was that after searching for several rounds, even after mobilizing all the eunuchs, he still couldn't find any clues about Ying Zheng!

Even when the court session started and many ministers came to the court with memorials and opinions written overnight, Ying Zheng did not show up!

Countless ministers were waiting here, looking left and right, full of confusion.

Where is your majesty?
Where did your Majesty go?

Although they were confused and anxious, many ministers did not say much and waited here quietly.

However, after more than half an hour had passed and Ying Zheng still hadn't appeared, many ministers began to get anxious!

How is this going?

Where has your Majesty been? Why didn’t you come to the morning court?
You know, heavy rain in Longxi and Zhongche County is imminent now!

If we don’t come up with a solution today, something big might happen!
However, even after two full hours had passed and it was almost noon, Ying Zheng still did not show up!

At this moment, many ministers began to get anxious!
Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth and Zhao Gao still had not found any news about Ying Zheng, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out to explain to all the officials.

"Your Majesty...I don't know where you went today."

"Let's put this aside for now..."

After these words were spoken, the entire hall seemed to be quiet for a while.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of anxious voices suddenly broke out!

"what!"

"Your Majesty is missing? What's going on?!"

"What on earth happened? His Majesty is missing?! How is this possible?!"

After hearing what Zhao Gao said, all the ministers became anxious!
It’s been nine days of heavy rain!

Xianyang is starting to be flooded!

Under the city wall, tens of thousands of disaster victims gathered together. Everyone was waiting for His Majesty to come up with some advice, so how could he suddenly disappear?

Where on earth did His Majesty go?

"try to find!"

"Go find it quickly!"

"We must find it out!"

When the news of Ying Zheng's disappearance spread, not only Zhao Gao, but countless officials in the entire Xianyang city were extremely anxious!
Xianyang, where is it? It is the central location of the entire Qin Empire!
If a flood occurs here, it will be such a shame if the news gets out!

Moreover, if this heavy rain continues and no solution is found, it will no longer be a simple food shortage problem in Longxi!
The fertile fields near Zhongche County will also be washed away!
Even the Yellow River may burst its banks due to continuous heavy rains!
In fact, many officials from the Yellow River have reported that there are signs of dike breaches in many places!
"Your Majesty!"

"How come your Majesty suddenly disappeared when we needed him to take charge of the situation?"

All the ministers were extremely anxious and mobilized their own retainers and servants to take action to search for him!
however……

"did not find!"

"Not here!"

"There is absolutely no trace of His Majesty!"

"The Black Ice Terrace and Iron Eagle Swordsmen also said they didn't see anything. I don't know if that's true!"

"We have searched all the places His Majesty might have gone, but to no avail!"

"Have you searched everywhere? Are you sure?!"

"Yes! No one saw him! What should I do? How could His Majesty suddenly disappear?"

In the court, countless officials were extremely anxious, like ants on a hot pan, sweating profusely!

Even Fusu was a little anxious at this moment!

How is this going?

The flood is coming, where on earth has my father gone? !

Moreover, even many ministers couldn't find the place...

Fusu frowned and thought seriously!
But soon, he seemed to remember something and his eyes widened suddenly!
and many more!

There is a place...

It seems to be a place that many ministers don’t know about!

Master!

The small forest where the masters live!

Could it be that father is... visiting an expert?

Fusu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated!
Could it be that... the master has a way to solve all this? !
The more I think about it, the more likely it is!

Fusu's eyes were shining!

As Ying Zheng's most beloved son, Fusu knew clearly how much Ying Zheng cared about the Qin Dynasty!

If there was no important matter, given his father's character, he would never miss the morning court!
You have to know that Ying Zheng had reviewed memorials alone until late at night countless times, and even when he was a little exhausted, the light in the study was still on!

And Fusu was the only one who had ever followed Ying Zheng to visit Yang Ling!

No one knows better than him how much Ying Zheng values ​​masters!

No one knows the extensive knowledge of this hermit Taoist master better than him!
He was deeply impressed by those bizarre ideas, tricky conclusions, and various shocking assumptions!

If he were not a master, he would not have been able to enter the court and engage in politics. Fusu even wanted to recognize him as his teacher on the spot!

Could it be that... my father went to ask an expert how to deal with the flood?
It's not impossible! If ordinary people can't figure it out, a master may be able to do it!
Thinking of this, Fusu stood up and walked out of the hall without saying a word!
"Your Highness Prince Fusu?"

"Where are you going, Your Highness?!"

Seeing Fusu stand up, many ministers became anxious and asked hurriedly!
You have to know that in today's court, if Ying Zheng is not here, the only backbone left is Fusu!

"I'm going somewhere!"

"Father is most likely there!"

After saying this, without paying too much attention to the anxious inquiries of many ministers, Fusu simply opened his umbrella and strode into the heavy rain!
Fusu was not a procrastinating person, and soon he arrived at Yang Ling's mansion alone!

"Your Highness, His Majesty did come here, but he left very soon." The maid replied respectfully in response to Fusu's inquiry.

It turns out that he came to find an expert!

Hearing this, Fusu was shocked and asked anxiously: "Where did he go?"

"This..." The maid hesitated, not knowing whether she should say it.

"Go ahead! If father and the master blame me, I will take all the responsibility!"

Hearing this, the maid still didn't dare to speak.

"Your Majesty, I have been told not to tell anyone where you have been..."

Fusu rubbed his brows vigorously, "Then you can at least tell me which direction they went, right?"

The maid bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before nodding and pointing in the direction Yang Ling and Ying Zheng left.

"Your Highness, His Majesty and the Master went in this direction."

Fusu was stunned for a moment.

there?

It’s not a place where dignitaries live, right?
Who is there...?
With a myriad of thoughts in his mind, Fusu frowned as he looked in the direction the maid was pointing.

Could it be...Xu Fu?
I seemed to have heard from Heibingtai before that Xu Fu knelt in front of the master's mansion for seven days?

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and hurried over!

as predicted!

Not long after, he saw two Black Ice Guards standing on the left and right in front of the entrance of Xu Fu Hall!

"See Your Highness!"

"Father is here?!" Fusu asked anxiously.

The two Black Ice Terrace guards nodded and Fusu was extremely happy!

However, just when Fusu wanted to go in, he was stopped!
"Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered that no one may enter without His Majesty's permission."

Fusu was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and said angrily: "Get out of the way!"

"Right now, the court is arguing over the flood disasters in the two counties!"

"If the flood is not resolved, one hundred thousand people in the two counties may be displaced!"

"If something goes wrong with this matter, can you afford it?"

Hearing this, the two Black Ice Platform guards looked at each other, appearing a little hesitant.

In the end, they nodded and let Fusu in.

"Your Majesty is in the courtyard at the very center. Please do not make any loud noise while you are searching."

Fusu nodded, stepped in and continued searching.

Sure enough, not long after, Fusu discovered a strange room in the central courtyard.

There was nothing special about the house from the outside, but through the open door, one could seem to see many green plants growing inside.

Fusu walked over anxiously, his expression shocked!
really!

In that room, Ying Zheng was sitting there, staring at something with his bright eyes.

Seeing this scene, Fusu suddenly became a little anxious.

Could it be that a master is making elixirs and my father is addicted to watching them?
I admit that it is indeed shocking to see a master making elixirs, but now is not the time to watch them!

"Father!"

Fusu shouted from afar and rushed forward anxiously, wanting to bring Ying Zheng back to the imperial city to discuss the issue of drought and flood disasters.

However, before he got close, Ying Zheng suddenly turned around and frowned, saying, "Keep your voice down! Don't disturb the master! Come here quickly!"

Fusu was stunned when he heard this. Although he was anxious, he didn't dare to speak again. He could only walk towards the room anxiously.

However, the closer he got to the room, the more he felt something was wrong. Why were there so many plants growing in this room?
And when Xu Fu walked in and saw everything inside, he was even more shocked!
Because this small house is emitting dazzling light at this moment!

Overgrown plants, dense runes, Xu Fu covered in blood, and a master surrounded by golden light...

"What, what's going on?" Fusu looked at the scene in front of him with a dazed expression.

After seeing Fusu's expression, Ying Zheng was not surprised, because his reaction was even more intense than Fusu's when he saw it.

"Sit down and keep your voice down! I'll explain it to you!"

Looking at the confused Fusu, Ying Zheng slowly recounted how he found Xu Fu, heard the news about praying for rain, and visited Yang Ling.

After listening to Ying Zheng's story, Fusu was full of confusion.

What's happening here?
The first heavy rain was caused by the master absorbing the earth's milky marrow and breaking through?
And the second heavy rain was also related to the master?

Just a bamboo slip combined with a formation caused heavy rain in Xianyang for nine days and ten nights?

If it weren’t for Xu Fu, the drought in Longxi would have been resolved long ago?

After hearing the news, Fusu felt confused!
What is going on?
Aren’t alchemists good at making elixirs, fortune telling, and astrologing?
Since when did I become able to change the weather so drastically?

Looking at Yang Ling, who was surrounded by a faint golden light not far away, Fusu swallowed hard!

It seems... not that there is none...

But if all this is true, then the master is too terrifying!
There were two consecutive torrential rains within just one month, and the second one was caused by a casually carved bamboo slip!

How incredible this is!
"You can't believe it, right? I was even more shocked than you when I first found out about it." Ying Zheng, who was sitting next to him, said in a deep voice.

"Indeed... it's very shocking... I don't even know how to put it into words..."

Fusu looked at Yang Ling, who was instructing Xu Fu to close the formation not far away, with a dazed expression.

I was shocked to the extreme!

"Now you know why I didn't go to the morning court? We just need to wait for the master to close the formation and the flood disaster will be solved."

"Compared to going to the morning court to discuss something that has already been decided, how can it be better to gain insights here?"

Ying Zheng said excitedly.

Although he still couldn't understand what Yang Ling was saying, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that spread from it was of great benefit to him!
In just one day, his originally heavy body was several times better!
Fusu's eyes suddenly lit up after listening to Ying Zheng's explanation!
Can you improve your physical fitness just by sitting here?

Thinking of this, Fusu had almost no hesitation, and immediately left those anxious ministers behind, and hurriedly sat cross-legged beside Ying Zheng! (End of this chapter)
