A scene that completely exceeded his cognition appeared in front of him, and Ying Zheng was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
Although he has experienced many strange things, and even saw two strange beasts, Xi and Zhu Jiuyou, when he went to Lishan before, Li Si is a person like him after all, how can he not be frightened?
"Could it be that..." Ying Zheng regained his composure and murmured, "Could it be that Sir is also an immortal?"
Judging from Li Si's previous ability to compete with Zhu Jiuyou, this view is not excessive.
Li Si smiled and shook his head, and said: "Weichen once said that the immortals that the world understands are just cognitive deviations. Weichen's true identity, like Jing Liang, is called the Messenger of Heaven. He is a special guide and guardian. The king, this heavenly successor, is commonly known as an angel."
Angel, this title actually comes from this.
"That means that only when you develop your brain can you have the wisdom and body to guide and protect us?" Ying Zheng analyzed.
"That's right." Li Si said, "If we were all mortals, how could we shoulder such an important responsibility?"
Ying Zheng nodded, understanding in his heart. His eyes fell on Li Si's wound again, and he saw that the wound was still more than half an inch long and had stopped healing.
Ying Zheng took Li Si's wrist and asked doubtfully: "Why did you stop?"
Li Si still smiled and said: "The reason why Wei Chen asked the king to witness the healing of the wound is just to prove what Wei Chen said just now. Under normal circumstances, the healing of mortal wounds is an unintentional treatment, that is, passive use of life. Regenerative capabilities restore damaged wounds.”
"Government without intention...passivity..." Ying Zheng muttered in a low voice.
"By developing the intelligent brain, you can actively intervene to accelerate the regeneration of life, so the healing speed will be much faster." Li Si said, "If you don't want to actively intervene, you will return to the normal situation like now. , no, I’m starting to feel pain again.”
"Didn't you feel pain just now?" Ying Zheng became more and more surprised as he listened.
"The meaning of pain is to remind yourself of the existence of the wound." Li Si smiled and said, "Just like the example Wei Chen gave just now, when your stomach is empty and you feel hungry, it is just a reminder to yourself. Since you can actively control this feeling, Of course I won’t feel any pain.”
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "I understand, the more developed a person's brain is, the more obvious his control over the body will be. Sir, please heal all the wounds first."
In order to illustrate the problem, Li Si did not hesitate to harm his own body, which made Ying Zheng feel uncomfortable.
"Easy to say." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Si's wounds began to heal strangely again.
Within a few breaths, Li Si's wound had completely healed, and there was not even a scar left, only a faint mark that was slightly darker than normal skin color.
"Sir, how long will it take for me to be like you?" Ying Zheng's eyes were eager.
I have been taking this Linggu Pill for some days, and it seems to have caused no other effects except making Nansu's fetus a little restless.
"Actually, there are two types of Linggu Pills. What we have in front of us now is an elementary prescription, which is made using ordinary refining methods, so it is only at an elementary level." Li Si said.
"Is there a more advanced Linggu Pill?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Of course." Li Si said with certainty, "If you want to refine the advanced Linggu Pill, you must use Jiuding."
"Jiuding?" Ying Zheng said in surprise, "I didn't expect that Jiuding could also be used to refine elixirs. No wonder the former Heavenly Successors would forge Jiuding."
"There is indeed a reason for this." Li Si said, "As for how to refine the high-level ancient spiritual pills, the king can only wait for the master to come, and the minister can only help the king refine the low-level ancient spiritual pills."
It seems that alchemy is still a compulsory course for those who inherit the heaven.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Then another day, I would like to ask you, sir, to teach me the art of alchemy. I am tired today, so please rest early."
"Your Majesty, please." Li Si stood up and said.
The two people left the secret room, Li Si returned to his residence in Xianyang Palace, and Ying Zheng returned to his dormitory alone.
The five ladies did not rest. They sat together eating cakes and chatting, waiting for Ying Zheng to return.
Yes, I haven't decided how to sleep tonight or how to rest.
Seeing that Ying Zheng was back, the five ladies stood up quickly and politely said: "The King is back."
Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, and said, "Look, I haven't drunk too much."
Lan Tingyu put her hand on her lips and smiled softly.
"It's better if you don't drink too much." Hu Yu said.
Ying Zheng turned to look at Nansu and asked softly: "Nansu, have you drank the potion dissolved in Linggu Dan?"
Nansu nodded vigorously and said, "I have taken it and it is indeed much better, but it feels weird."
"What's weird?" Ying Zheng asked anxiously.
Hu Yu interjected from the side: "Sister, she kept shouting that it looked like the blood of some animal, and she didn't dare to drink it. It was my concubine who pinched my sister's nose and poured it in."
Several other sisters laughed.
Nansu pretended to be angry and picked up the headrest, but he just gestured and didn't throw it out.
Looking at Nan Su's condition, Ying Zheng finally felt relieved.
"Your Majesty, is this little red pill really so magical?" Lan Ting blinked and asked.
"That's natural." Ying Zheng looked quite proud, and then took out the small porcelain bottle and put it on the table, "Hu Yu, you have dissolved it too, take it."
"I, I want to eat too?" Hu Yu looked innocent.
"If you are told to eat, just eat. Maybe your situation will be similar to that of Nan Su, but you just haven't had an attack." Ying Zheng said.
Hu Yu pouted and said, "Okay then. However, I will drink it myself, and none of you are allowed to forcefully drink it."
The sisters laughed again.
Naughty yet cute, Hu Yu takes off her Hu clothes and dresses up as a bride, which is a godsend.
"Your Majesty, the sisters are all discussing how to go to bed tonight." After all, Nan Su came through first, so it was only convenient for her to ask.
"Well..." Ying Zheng pretended to be unable to make a decision.
Nansu didn't know that Ying Zheng was pretending, and said softly: "I am sorry that I am unable to serve the king due to my health. I will give this opportunity to my sisters."
Except for Hu Yu, the other three ladies all blushed and lowered their heads, pretending not to understand.
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said: "Actually, I have already thought about it. Tonight is your wedding night with me. It would be bad if no one is missing. Besides, Nansu needs someone to take care of you. Why don't we tonight?" How about just drinking and talking all night long?”
After hearing Ying Zheng's suggestion, the ladies all looked a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, they were relieved that this was indeed a way to get the best of both worlds.
Ying Zheng ordered people to bring wine and food, and he and the five ladies started drinking again, but the mood was completely different from the previous banquet.
The night was getting darker, but the laughter in the palace continued one after another. Such a spring night was really happy.
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Ying Zheng woke up slowly, and several ladies were lying on the two beds with their clothes on. They were probably too drunk, or they slept too late, and they hadn't woken up yet.
Ying Zheng stretched and went out to the outer room to wash up.
Zhao Gao had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw Ying Zheng coming out, he quickly came over to serve him.
"Your Majesty, Lord Changping has just arrived." Zhao Gao handed the scarf to Ying Zheng and said, "He asked his servant to bring a message, saying that Xiang Yan attended the King's wedding and was ready to return to the country to resume his duties. I hope the King You can summon me when you are free."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "After I have finished my meal, you can go find Lord Changping and ask him to bring General Xiang Yan."
"I respect the king's orders," Zhao Gao said, cupping his hands.
"And..." Ying Zheng paused and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days."
Zhao Gao was filled with emotion and said with a trembling voice: "It is the duty of a slave to share the king's worries."
Zhao Gao knew that Ying Zheng didn't like to be polite, so he didn't say any polite words.
Ying Zheng patted Zhao Gao on the shoulder and said nothing more. However, the friendship between brothers was clearly revealed in these gestures.
In the afternoon, Zhao Gao took Changping Jun and Xiang Yan to Ying Zheng's new study.
After sitting down, Ying Zheng said: "I heard that the general is going back to Chu State to resume his duties. Why are you so anxious? Why don't you stay a few more days?"
Xiang Yan cupped his hands and said: "Xiang Yan is here to witness the wedding of King Qin and Princess Nansu on the order of the King of Chu. Since the wedding ceremony has been completed and Madam is in good health, the foreign minister should go back as soon as possible. .”
On the way to Gucheng Palace, Zhao Gao had already said that Mrs. Nansu's health was fine.
Ying Zheng asked with a smile: "I have married more princesses this time. I don't know if the King of Chu is satisfied with my gift."
"This time, the king married five princesses at once, which is indeed rare in the world, and all the princesses are extremely beautiful. Princess Nansu can be given a husband and become the head of the harem. It is really the king's preference for Nansu and Dachu. , my king must be extremely happy." Xiang Yan said.
"That's good." Ying Zheng still smiled, "How have you been, General Xiang, during the past few days in Xianyang?"
Xiang Yan also smiled back and said: "Xianyang deserves to be called Xianyang, indeed it has outstanding people and land, and Great Qin deserves to be called Great Qin, with strong soldiers and horses."
"General Xiang deserves the award." Ying Zheng said, "If you have any suggestions, you might as well speak up and listen."
"Yes, I think Brother Xiang must have his own opinions after these few days." Changping Jun also agreed.
Xiang Yan cupped her hands and said, "Xiang spent a few days in Xianyang just for fun. I dare not give any advice, but he is quite interested in some things."
"Oh? What is it? If the general likes it, I can give it to General Xiang." Ying Zheng's tone seemed very generous.
"The foreign minister would like to thank your Majesty in advance." After saying this quite respectfully, Xiang Yan took out a flying crossbow from the package.
Seeing this flying crossbow, Ying Zheng smiled and said disapprovingly: "Could it be that General Xiang's favorite thing is this mere crossbow? I don't think it is a treasure."
"Could it be that..." Xiang Yan's expression was a little strange, "King Qin doesn't know the value of this flying crossbow?"
"This is just a new type of crossbow developed by the Ordnance Department. It can be fired continuously. It is still in the testing stage. There is nothing surprising about it." Ying Zheng still looked disapproving.
"Your Majesty." Xiang Yan cupped his hands and said, "After several days of research by Xiang, this flying crossbow is not simple. In terms of range and accuracy, it is no different from a longbow on the surface, but if it is used on the battlefield for a long time, it will The longbow sergeant will reduce the longbow's attack power due to lack of physical strength, but the flying crossbow will not be affected, so it is more sustainable."
As expected of a famous general from the Chu Kingdom, he could understand the mysteries at a glance.
"Haha." Ying Zheng said still disapprovingly, "It's just a little trick played by the craftsmen. Since General Xiang likes it, I can just give some as a gift."
"How dare you, foreign minister." Xiang Yan bowed his hands and saluted, appearing to be evasive, but his eyes revealed an expectant look.
"Zhao Gao." Ying Zheng said loudly, "How many flying crossbows did Jing Fan report last time?"
Zhao Gao heard the summons and walked in quickly, cupping his hands and saying, "Go back to the king, I have more than six hundred."
"Six hundred..." Ying Zheng pretended to be thinking, "In accordance with my wishes, I will immediately prepare five hundred flying crossbows and send them to General Xiang of Chu State without delay."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Gao took the order and walked out of the gate.
Xiang Yan was stunned, thinking that she had heard wrongly. The entire Qin Dynasty only had a total of more than 600, but Ying Zheng gave himself 500 at one time. Is this his own illusion, or Ying Zheng's generosity went too far.
Before Xiang Yan could recover, he heard Ying Zheng say: "Why, it depends on what General Xiang means. It means there is less time, but Da Qin really only has so much."
Xiang Yan came back to his senses and said apologetically: "The foreign minister felt that it was a bit unexpected. The king was so generous, and the foreign minister felt that there was nothing he could do in return. Previously, the king was deeply worried about the banditry in Ying City, so he asked the foreign minister to assist Lord Changping. Go recruit.”
That’s what I’ve been waiting for!
"In that case, General Laoxiang will be the one to take care of." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"It is Xiang Yan's good fortune to be able to share the worries of King Qin." Xiang Yan said.
The hands holding people are short!
In fact, even if Ying Zheng did not send the flying crossbow, Xiang Yan had already decided to recruit bandits for Lord Changping. It was just a matter of who spoke first. After all, this favor is not something that can be owed casually.
"Refreshing!" Ying Zheng laughed, "If General Xiang is willing to come forward to recruit bandits into an army, then I will hand over this army to the jurisdiction of Lord Changping and name it the Western Chu Army. Da Qin will provide military pay to protect the peace of the people of Ying City. It also serves as a witness to the everlasting friendship between Qin and Chu."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lord Changping said with cupped hands, but he could not hide the joy between his brows.
Xiang Yan also raised his hands and said, "The foreign minister will do his best to solve the worries of the people of Yingcheng."
"Hahaha." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "After all, General Xiang must try his best. I still have a lot of wedding wine to drink, so I'll drink it with you."
"Your Majesty, please." Xiang Yan cupped his hands and said.
The three of them sat down at the table and started changing glasses.
Ying Zheng's diplomatic methods are really getting richer and richer.
