Chapter 137 136 Taiyuan Alchemy Room, refining elixirs for immortality!
Pei Gong looked at Li Si calmly and said in a firm voice: "Prime Minister, from the moment I became associated with Qin, I have sworn that no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will give everything for the people of Qin, even my life."

Li Si nodded, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes: "I deeply respect your determination, Mr. Pei. However, people's hearts are unpredictable, and even the most steadfast loyalty may be shaken by external temptations. Can you guarantee that, for the rest of your life? Will you always be loyal to Great Qin?"

Pei Gong did not hesitate and said without any hesitation: "I was born in Yan, but I died in Qin. In this life, I live only for Qin and die for Qin. These words are still there. If there is any deviation in the future, the sky will strike with thunder." "

Li Si smiled slightly: "I believe what Pei Gong said, but having said that, I also know that sometimes the results of divination are not absolute. It just indicates the possible future. Everyone's destiny is in their own hands. ."

Pei Gong showed a smile: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your understanding."

Li Si turned to look at Wei Bao, his eyes becoming sharper: "Master Wei, do you also want to know your future?"

Wei Bao showed a hint of nervousness and nodded: "Since the Prime Minister has this intention, Wei is naturally willing to listen."

Li Si gently adjusted the copper needle on the hexagram plate, and then slowly turned the pointer.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was so tense that it could almost cut off. Pei Gong and Zhongli were both staring at the divination plate. They both knew that the result of this divination might affect Wei Bao's fate.

The pointer rotated several times on the hexagram plate and finally stopped on the word "Li".

Li Si frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "'Li' means fire, separation and rupture. Master Wei, this means that there may be separation or some form of rupture in your future."

Wei Bao's face was slightly pale and his voice was trembling: "Prime Minister, what... does this mean? I have been working hard for Da Qin, why are we leaving?"

Li Si pondered for a moment, and then said: "The results of divination only indicate the possible future, not absolute. The word 'Li' may indicate your separation from someone or something, and the attribute of fire also It represents impulsiveness and instability, Master Wei, do you have any unknown plans in the near future?"

Wei Bao looked at Li Si in horror, looking a little confused: "Prime Minister, I...I don't understand what you mean."

A sharp light flashed in Li Si's eyes: "Master Wei, the results of my divination will never be wrong. If you have something to hide, it would be better to tell it as soon as possible."

Pei Gong's eyes tightened, and he suddenly stood up and walked to Wei Bao: "Wei Bao, you and I are both masters of water conservancy. We have both paid a lot for the people of Qin. If you have any troubles or have something to hide, please speak up. .”

Wei Bao let out a long sigh, with a hint of crying in his voice: "Pei Gong, I am aware of my sin and I will tell you the truth. I recently received a secret messenger from the Chu State. They promised that as long as I provide them with Da Qin's water conservancy project drawings, I can give them My great status and wealth.”

Pei Gong and Zhongli both showed shocked expressions. Pei Gong said angrily: "Wei Bao, how could you do this!"

Wei Bao burst into tears: "I know this is a big mistake, but I am also a human being and I also have selfish desires. I cannot resist the temptation given to me by Chu State."

Li Si looked at Wei Bao indifferently: "So, the meaning of the word 'Li' is obvious. Master Wei, what you leave is not only your responsibilities and oaths, but also your loyalty to Great Qin."

Wei Bao knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Prime Minister, I know my sin and I am willing to atone for my mistake."

Wei Bao was caught off guard. He quickly took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and rushed straight towards Li Si. Li Si only felt a sharp and painful wind blowing, and Zhang Han was even more frightened. Because the distance was too close, he There was absolutely no time to react.

Pei Gong and Zhongli also immediately felt a strong sense of crisis... They understood that once Li Si was killed, they would never be able to escape from Wei Bao's hands. The situation in front of them was completely beyond their expectations.

At this critical moment, Li Si reacted very quickly. He knew that his divination skills were not only useful in predicting the future, but also had practical use.

When Wei Bao's dagger was about to reach his throat, Li Si had already begun to recite the secret mantra, his voice clear and loud, making the entire tent tremble.

The three turtle shells began to emit a faint light. Li Si quickly made a seal, and a shining light group suddenly appeared in his hand, as if he held the universe in his palm, dotted with stars. This light group quickly formed a barrier, blocking Wei Bao's dagger.

Wei Bao's eyes flashed with panic. He didn't expect Li Si to have such a hand.He tried to pierce the ball of light with his dagger, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not penetrate the barrier.

"You...how did you do that?" Wei Bao asked breathlessly.

Li Si smiled coldly: "Master Wei, the art of divination is beyond your understanding. It is energy drawn from the world, and you are just a mortal."

"What kind of magic are you doing?" Wei Bao looked at Li Si in shock.

Li Si said calmly: "This is the 'basic spell' in divination."

Pei Gong and Zhongli were also shocked. They had never seen Li Si use such skills before, and they did not expect that he could use divination to defend against attacks.

Li Si said no more, he recited a spell, and the three turtle shells rotated rapidly, like three small planets, flying towards Wei Bao. Wei Bao was shocked and quickly dodged, but the turtle shells seemed to have eyes and were always locked. he.

Wei Bao rolled and avoided the attack of one turtle shell, but the other two followed closely, and finally one hit his back, causing him to fall heavily to the ground, with a mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth.

Li Si slowly walked to Wei Bao and looked down at him: "Master Wei, do you think you can challenge my divination skills? You are too arrogant."

Wei Bao coughed and turned pale: "I...I'm just unwilling. Why...you can see the future, but I can only be manipulated by fate?"

As he spoke, he was about to escape from here.

Although Wei Bao is alone, he is a mad wolf in a desperate situation, and he is extremely ruthless every time he attacks.However, the generals present were all experienced in battles, and he was soon trapped in the center.

"Wei Bao, put down your weapon, you still have a chance." Pei Gong took a deep breath and tried to persuade Wei Bao.

Wei Bao smiled ferociously: "Mr. Pei, do you really think I'm afraid of death? I'm doing it for the Kingdom of Chu, and I'm doing it for the great cause of eternity!"

After saying that, Wei Bao suddenly rushed towards Li Si, trying to kill or injure the enemy. However, Li Si was already prepared to face Wei Bao's attack, and the two of them intertwined.

Wei Bao's attack was extremely fierce, but Li Si's reaction was also extremely quick. After several exchanges, Wei Bao's dagger slipped and flew out of his hand. Pei Gong saw the right opportunity and slashed across Wei Bao's body, causing Wei Bao to fall to the ground seriously injured.

"Pei Gong..." Wei Bao said with difficulty, "You can kill me, but the Chu army is already on the way, and you can't escape."

A trace of indifference flashed in Pei Gong's eyes: "That will happen in the future. Today, you must pay the price."

There was blood on the corner of Wei Bao's mouth, and he smiled slightly: "You... can't escape."

Pei Gong looked at Wei Bao who fell to the ground, with mixed feelings in his heart. He turned to Li Si and said, "Prime Minister, we must pay attention to Wei Bao's words. Chu's army may have set off, and we must be prepared."

Li Si nodded: "I will order the Qin army to prepare to fight the Chu army. This incident has taught us a lesson. We cannot underestimate any enemy."

Pei Gong sighed: "Wei Bao, I really didn't expect you to betray the Qin Dynasty. But what you did today will be your own consequences."

Zhongli walked to Wei Bao and sighed: "Wei Bao, I thought you were a real hero, but I didn't expect that you would betray him for your own selfish desires in the end."

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Perhaps in your eyes, I am a traitor. But in my eyes, I am doing it for Chu State and for the great cause of eternity."

Zhang Han looked at Wei Bao and said deeply: "No matter what you say, betrayal is always betrayal. Turning your back on the country for your own selfish desires is unforgivable."

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "General Zhang, if one day you face the same choice, what will you do?" Zhang Han did not answer, but looked at Wei Bao coldly.Pei Gong came over and said, "Zhang Han, there is no need to say more, Wei Bao, what you did today will go down in history and become infamy for eternity."

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Pei Gong, history is written by the victors. Maybe one day, Chu will win. By then, I will be recorded in the annals of history and become a hero."

Pei Gong took a deep breath: "We will wait and see."

Li Si looked at Wei Bao: "Wei Bao, I will report what happened to you today to the court and let the court decide your fate."

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "No need, I have been seriously injured and I won't live long."

After saying that, Wei Bao slowly closed his eyes, and his life came to an end.

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became extremely solemn.

Pei Gong, Li Si, Zhang Han, and Zhong Li were all silent, just looking at Wei Bao's body silently.

Pei Gong took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions. He looked at Li Si with worries in his eyes.

"Prime Minister, we must take Wei Bao's words seriously. Chu's army may have already set off, and we must be prepared."

Li Si nodded lightly, "I know. Duke Pei, I will order the Qin army to prepare to fight the Chu army. This incident has taught us a lesson, we cannot underestimate any enemy."

Pei Gong sighed: "Wei Bao, I really didn't expect you to betray the Qin Dynasty. But what you did today will be your own consequences."

Li Si raised his hand and interrupted Pei Gong's words. He said solemnly: "Let's not discuss this for now. Let's get rid of Wei Bao's body first."

Pei Gong nodded: "The Prime Minister is right."

Li Si turned his head and looked at Wei Bao's body coldly, his tone full of unbearability. "Give him a decent funeral. After all, he has made contributions to Great Qin."

Pei Gong was thoughtful and said slowly: "Yes, Prime Minister."

Li Si nodded, glanced at Pei Gong again, and signaled him to take care of it. Pei Gong nodded, walked to Wei Bao's body, looked at it carefully, and then ordered his left and right men to lift Wei Bao's body and prepare for burial.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion was very heavy. Everyone was immersed in their own thoughts, as if they were reflecting on what they had done and why they had reached this point.

Li Si turned his head and looked at Zhongli, with a questioning look in his eyes.Zhong Li was startled and vaguely understood what the Prime Minister meant. He begged: "Prime Minister, I hope you can use the art of divination to test my loyalty."

Li Si looked at him calmly, "Are you sure?"

Zhongli nodded, "Yes, Prime Minister, I hope to gain your approval. I am willing to dedicate everything I have to Great Qin."

Li Si pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay, since you are so determined, then I will satisfy you."

After speaking, Li Si began to use the divination technique. He began to recite the secret spell. The three turtle shells rotated rapidly, like three small planets. Zhongli stood there nervously, waiting for the result.

After a moment, Li Si stopped the spell. He looked at Zhongli and smiled slightly: "Zhongli, you have no thoughts of betrayal in your heart. I believe you."

Zhongli breathed a long sigh of relief and knelt down on the ground, "Thank you Prime Minister for your trust. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Li Si nodded, "Get up, I believe you."

Pei Gong came over and looked at Li Si, "Prime Minister, the most important thing now is how to deal with Chu's army."

In this regard.

Li Si shook his head and chuckled.

"The Kingdom of Chu is nothing to fear from Da Qin... Tonight, I will take you to a place."

"where?"

"You'll know when we get there."

Li Si's steps were firm, as if every step in the night was stepping on the beat of fate.

Pei Gong and Zhongli followed closely behind, walking through the winding streets of Xianyang City and heading towards the palace.

The Xianyang Imperial Palace, under the cover of night, coexists with its majesty and silence.

The huge city wall is like a stretched dragon, with no beginning or end in sight. The blazing torches on the city wall illuminate the guests who are coming, and also reflect the guards who are waiting in formation.

In front of the palace gate, there are bronze men and iron horses, vivid and majestic, which is the unique decorative art of Qin State. On the side of the gate, soldiers wearing armor stand upright, with inviolable coldness in their eyes.

Their equipment was extremely sophisticated, and the armor on their chests was carefully crafted. Its luster reflected dazzling light under the firelight. Each soldier held a long spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear drew streaks of cold light in the night sky.

When Pei Gong and Zhong Li saw all this, they were involuntarily shocked.

They had heard about the rigor and grandeur of the Qin Palace, but what they saw with their own eyes was far beyond their imagination. Duke Pei couldn't help but asked Li Si in a low voice: "Prime Minister, are we really not here to see the King of Qin?"

Li Si smiled mysteriously, turned to look at Pei Gong, and shook his head gently. His expression was both serious and expectant.

"No, Pei Gong, our destination tonight is not here. Come with me, you will understand soon." Li Si said, continuing to lead them deep into the palace.

They passed through palace gates one after another, crossed courtyard after courtyard, and came to a quiet inner hall.Li Si stopped here and turned to face Pei Gong and Zhong Li, with a solemn look in his eyes that he had never seen before.

There is a plaque hanging at the entrance of the palace. In the dim light, the words on the plaque are faintly visible under the light of the torch.After getting closer, they could clearly see the big characters - "Taiyuan Alchemy Room".

These simple characters, with strong and powerful strokes, reveal an indescribable mystery and majesty.It is different from ordinary calligraphy. It seems to contain some mysterious power, which makes people feel awe unconsciously.

Pei Gong and Zhongli were both shocked by the scene before them. They did not expect that such a secret place was hidden deep in the Qin Palace.

"Here..." Peigong spoke, his voice lowered involuntarily, "What is this place used for?"

Li Si looked back at them with burning eyes, a hint of mystery in his voice, "This is the place where King Qin explored the secret of immortality. It is the holy place where our Qin State devotes itself to studying the mysteries of heaven and earth."

After hearing this, Zhong Li couldn't help but gasped, "Refining alchemy... pursuing immortality? Is this true?"
