Chapter 218: Big tonic Eggs

"See Your Majesty!"

In the dense and empty main hall, Yi Xiaochuan saluted respectfully and then secretly glanced up.

This is the first time Yi Xiaochuan has met Ying Zheng, the legendary tyrant and the emperor of the ages!
There was only curiosity in his eyes. The ordinary-looking old man in front of him turned out to be Ying Zheng, who had mixed success and failure and was extremely mysterious?

"Yi Xiaochuan, let me ask you, where have you been during the time you were missing?"

Ying Zheng's voice was cold, and he looked down at Yi Xiaochuan at his feet, which made him feel slightly nervous. For some reason, a sudden nervousness filled his heart.

Is this what people often call majesty?

"Back to Your Majesty, when we were welcoming Princess Yushu, the villain accidentally fell into a cliff while fighting with the rebel leader, and he has been unconscious since then."

"Are you unconscious?"

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Yu Shu is with you?"

"This is!"

Yi Xiaochuan felt a little hesitant, but still nodded.

Ying Zheng put away his smile and said coldly: "Do you know who Yu Shu is? She is about to become my concubine. What crime do you deserve for being alone with her for so long?"

"The villain has not transgressed anything towards Princess Yushu. Your Majesty, please be aware of this."

Yi Xiaochuan defended, although he and Yu Shu were inseparable, can this be admitted?
"I said if you have it, you will have it!"

Ying Zheng's voice suddenly became louder, and Yi Xiaochuan, who was already harboring evil thoughts, was shocked and couldn't help but soften a little under his aura.

At this time, Yi Xiaochuan finally remembered that this was not the year [-], and there was no need to provide evidence. His life or death was not decided by himself, but by the man in front of him, the master of the Qin Empire, Ying Zheng!

"What's wrong? Don't you want to argue anymore? Do you think you can't convince me, so you acquiesce?"

Ying Zheng asked relentlessly. With his position, he couldn't make things difficult for Yi Xiaochuan, but he still did it. Today, Yi Xiaochuan must resist this unfounded charge!
"Since Your Majesty has determined that the villain covets Princess Yushu, then it is meaningless no matter how serious my grievances are, and I will not be able to resist any punishment."

Yi Xiaochuan smiled freely. He really misunderstood Yi Buhuo. Ying Zheng was indeed a tyrant. He really didn't know how Yi Buhuo managed to get into the position of national master in the face of such a difficult person.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly. He was worthy of being a person appointed by the Imperial Master to refine medicine. His mentality was unusual and he could be considered a talent.

"You can't escape the death penalty. I have always made clear rewards and punishments. You brought Yu Shu back to Xianyang safely. This is your credit. However, you failed to protect him and almost let the gangsters snatch Yu Shu away. This is also a fact!"

"Do you have any objection to the merits or demerits?"

"The villain has nothing to say!"

Yi Xiaochuan knew that he could not escape this disaster, so he calmed down and stopped trembling. He straightened up and looked at Ying Zheng.

"Good spirit!"

How long has it been since anyone dared to look directly at me like this?The last one was the national master Yi Buhuo. This Yi Xiaochuan was really different. No wonder he stood out from so many people.

Ying Zheng didn't get angry, although this meeting itself was an excuse to punish Yi Xiaochuan, but after communicating with Yi Buhuo for so long, his preconceived ideas made him a little appreciative.

If Yi Xiaochuan hadn't been the chosen one, he would have really wanted to seek talents. Such a proud man should open up and expand the territory of the Qin Dynasty and fight on the battlefield!

Thinking of his plan with the Imperial Preceptor, Ying Zheng forced a straight face again. After taking a deep look at Yi Xiaochuan, he said sternly: "Even if you are really so magnanimous, making a mistake is a mistake. This is our Daqin law. Every time Everyone needs to comply.”

"Yi Xiaochuan, you have both merits and demerits. Your merits and demerits cannot be offset, but you can be given a lighter punishment."

"The Imperial Master has stated his interests to me and pleaded for your mercy. I have decided not to kill you."

Yi Xiaochuan raised his head with a slight twinkle in his eyes. Sure enough, he had many friends and many paths. Although he had not known Yi Buhuo for a long time, this friend was really reliable.

Even though he had refuted Ying Zheng's face, he still didn't get angry. It seemed that he didn't have to die today.

"but!"

Yi Xiaochuan's fingers trembled. He was most afraid of hearing these words. Once these two words were spoken, it meant that a turning point was coming, and what was waiting for him might not be a good thing.

The moment before this life-related sentence was pronounced, Yi Xiaochuan was in so much suffering. It didn't take long, but he felt like the seconds passed by like years. Even his breathing seemed to have stopped, and he could only hear his own heavy breathing.

He felt like a fish out of water, constantly breathing and thirsting for a little water, but in vain, he could only wait quietly for death.

Even though Ying Zheng had bluntly told him that he would not die, the feeling that life was worse than death still followed him, as if a great terror was about to come.

"I am not an unkind person. No matter what happens between you and Yu Shu, I will satisfy you!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Yu Shu will enter the palace in the evening. The palace I arranged for her still lacks manpower. You have been getting along with her these days, and you are always somewhat familiar with her."

"Princess Yushu has just arrived and is unfamiliar with the place. She is in a state of panic. Just go and take care of her!"

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Yi Xiaochuan didn't know what he meant. Why should he take care of him or not?Could it be that Ying Zheng was so worried about him?Are you really not afraid of having a little green on your head?

And is this really punishment?Are you sure it's not a reward?
If he hadn't been too complacent and feared that it might offend Ying Zheng, he might have laughed out loud.

"What do you mean? I still have to explain to you what I do?"

Ying Zheng snorted, turned around and waved his hand, and immediately someone took him down outside the palace.

"Where did the national teacher go?"

It wasn't until Yi Xiaochuan was taken away that Ying Zheng asked about Yi Buhuo's whereabouts.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Imperial Master did not return to his residence after leaving the palace last night, but went outside the city."

"Oh? You haven't come back?"

"Not coming back at the moment."

"What's out there that makes the Imperial Master want to leave?"

Ying Zheng became curious. He knew that Yi Buhuo was not an ordinary person, and even he could not find out his origin. However, it seemed to be becoming more and more mysterious recently, which made him feel a little itchy.

"There is a Wuweiju outside the city, and there lives a miracle doctor named Cui Wenzi. He is also known as 'Jiu Xian Healing Epilepsy'. He seems to be a good friend of the Imperial Master."

"The wine fairy?"

Ying Zheng stroked his beard and suddenly felt something moved. He loved wine and beauties most in his life. Beauties are easy to find, but this good wine is not easy to come by.

For this reason, he even made several private visits incognito, pretending to be a commoner and wandering around the city, just to taste some fine wine hidden in the deep alleys.

Yi Buhuo knew about this little habit of his before, so he waited and waited for him.

"Do we need to invite the Imperial Master back?"

"No!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "I will go in person!"

"Slave, let's get ready."

……

"Where are you taking me! Where is Princess Yushu's palace? Are we going there now?"

Yi Xiaochuan asked with a smile on his face for a long time, but unfortunately there were guards in front of him and behind him. Everyone was stern, as if they couldn't see him, and they just kept walking with him.

"This is boring..."

These people were just like a piece of wood, reminding him of his elder brother Yi Dachuan. He had never seen such a boring person before. He thought that his elder brother was already weird, but he didn't expect that he had wrongly blamed him.

Everyone here is exactly like him, it seems like he is the one who doesn't fit in...

"If my eldest brother is here, he must have a lot in common with you."

Yi Xiaochuan shook his head and lost interest in talking. How long ago was the last time he was with his family?
Only after leaving will you know the warmth of home. In this strange era, no one will understand you, comfort yourself, and even your life cannot be guaranteed.

After walking for half an hour, the eunuch leading the way finally stopped and led him to a house without a plaque.

Several white-faced and beardless little eunuchs walked over and skillfully led him to a cross and tied his hands and feet.

"What are you doing?"

Although Yi Xiaochuan didn't know what would happen next, the warrior's intuition told him that it wouldn't be a good thing.

He wanted to resist, but the imperial guards were surrounded by real swords and guns, their hands were already on the handle of the knife, and it seemed that they would draw their swords in the next moment.

We are outnumbered. Although Yi Xiaochuan is confident in his martial arts, he does not think that he can break out of the siege and escape from the heavily guarded Xianyang Palace by himself.

"Don't worry, it'll be alright."

An older father-in-law came over and kept comforting him with a kind smile on his face.

It's a pity that the effect is not very good at all. Yi Xiaochuan is not a high-ranking person. He has a keen sense of danger and has watched many movies and TV series in his spare time. In this kind of situation, it doesn't look like everything is fine.

"I don't believe it, let me go, or I'll do it."

"No one who comes in here leaves intact."

The old eunuch put away his smile and his voice was high-pitched.

"Let me go. I know the Imperial Master and we are very good friends. Be careful if I file a complaint against you."

Yi Xiaochuan cried sadly, knowing that Ying Zheng wouldn't be that stupid. He was talking about taking care of Yu Shu. It was all nonsense. He was probably going to end up here today.

"Your Majesty ordered you to do something. We are just following orders. Please stop calling. It will be of no use to anyone else."

The old eunuch waved his hand, and someone behind him handed over a basket of hard-boiled eggs.

Looking at the eggs that had been peeled off and still emitting steam, Yi Xiaochuan moved his throat subconsciously, and his mouth felt a little dry.

"These are all good things, eat them quickly."

The old eunuch scratched the egg with his sharp nails, separated the white, picked up the yolk, and brought it to his mouth gently.

Of course Yi Xiaochuan refused and kept his mouth shut. He would never think that these people would be so kind. There must be something wrong with the egg!

As if he had seen this kind of scene too many times, the old eunuch just smiled slightly, and someone came over beside him, pinched his mouth, then forced the egg yolk into it, and helped him chew it with his hands.

"..."

While Yi Xiaochuan was enjoying his meal and opening his mouth to be fed, Yi Buhuo also woke up in a daze.

He pulled out the thigh that was tightly held by Lao Cui from his arms, and his confused head quickly began to wake up. He pushed his body hard, knocked over the wine jar next to him, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Lao Cui smacked his lips, but had no intention of waking up at all. He just grinded his teeth and then made no movement.

Yi Buhuo took a deep breath and looked at the wine jars on the ground with a helpless smile.

Since he had agreed not to return until he was drunk, he deliberately restrained his internal energy last night, but even so, he still couldn't get drunk. His metabolism was so fast that it no longer even belonged to the category of human beings.

In the end, he drank all the wine, gave himself an injection, and then fell asleep with satisfaction.

There were too many distracting thoughts during this period, and I did a lot of running around, but I only scratched the surface, and in the end it had no effect. I took this rare opportunity to vent, and when I woke up, I felt much more relaxed.

"It's getting dark, I should go back."

Yi Buhuo grabbed his messy hair and found his shoes at the bottom of the bed. As soon as he opened the door, the sun had begun to set, and the day had already passed. He had slept for a long time.

"It's getting late, why don't we go back tomorrow."

Anyway, I will be alone when I go back, so I might as well drink and brag with Lao Cui again. The days ahead are still long, and if I don’t chat more with my friends now, I might not be able to find anyone to talk to in the future.

Yi Buhuo had a cancer attack, so he closed the door and walked back. Looking at the unconscious Lao Cui, he twitched his lips and ran to the kitchen to find something to eat. His stomach was empty and he felt uncomfortable with hunger.

"Sure enough, he is an old man living alone. He doesn't even have a cabbage, and the rice jar is almost at the bottom. Is this the way to maintain health?"

"I just said that Lao Cui has seen through everything. If you are not rich materially, you must be spiritually sublimated. If you don't occupy both, you will be buried long ago..."

Yi Buhuo was not one who would treat him badly. Although he only cooked a pot of porridge, he added a lot of medicinal materials that he brought with him.

"I'm completely out of rice now, but I'm also bringing you wealth. I believe you won't blame me, right Lao Cui?"

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

There was a knock on the door. Yi Buhuo listened carefully and found that it was indeed the scent of a familiar person.

He put down the firewood and opened the door. Standing outside the door was none other than Ying Zheng!
"Why is Your Majesty here?"

Yi Buhuo looked curious, smiled and said hello.

"The national teacher..."

Ying Zheng sniffed, and the smell of alcohol rushed straight to his brain.

"In the house is a friend of mine who has forgotten the year. I haven't seen you for a long time and I came here to catch up. I drank a little too much. I'm afraid I disturbed His Majesty. It's a sin."

Yi Buhuo apologized and smelled that his porridge was already fragrant. He didn't bother to greet Ying Zheng and hurriedly walked into the kitchen.

"Your Majesty, this..."

The accompanying Eunuch Zhao took a look at the situation in the house and became confused. It was really messy. There were empty wine jars everywhere. The smell of alcohol in the house was so high that it made you want to get drunk.

How could Ying Zheng be allowed in under such circumstances, but it would be too shameful to stand outside the door.

"It doesn't matter, let's sit in the yard for a while."

Ying Zheng didn't take it to heart and walked to the stone table in the courtyard. Eunuch Zhao quickly wiped the stone bench first and then helped him sit down.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way. Come and try the porridge I made to warm your stomach."

Yibuhuo is holding a tray with two bowls of porridge that looks simple but is fragrant
