Li Xin was drunk at home, and Mrs. Li personally cooked and made him a bowl of hangover soup.
As for Li Shui in the palace, he was much pitiful. I found some food in the fire room, hurriedly filled my stomach, then took a shower and changed clothes, waiting for Ying Zheng's summons.
Sure enough, after nightfall, a young eunuch came to look for Lishui, saying that he was invited by the king.
Li Shui followed the young eunuch and walked all the way to Yingzheng's palace.
On the way, while thinking about what reward he wanted, he asked casually: "Why don't you see Zhao Gao?"
The young eunuch was startled and said, "What Master Huai said was the order of Zhongche Mansion, Master Zhao?"
Li Shui said: "Yes, anyway, his name is Zhao Gao, and he has a good relationship with the king. Hmm... he seems to be the teacher of Young Master Hu Hai. He is a eunuch like you, why don't you serve him in the palace?"
The little eunuch was so frightened that he almost pissed himself. He had long heard that Huaiguzi was very courageous, but he didn't expect him to be so courageous.
The young eunuch laughed dryly and said bravely: "Master Zhao, you are the order of Zhongche Mansion. Who are you slaves? How dare you compare with Master Zhao?"
Li Shui snorted: "So, he is a real official?"
The young eunuch kindly reminded: "Master Zhao is not only an official, but also holds a high and powerful position. He is in charge of the king's chariot and seal. He is deeply trusted by the king. Master Huai must not underestimate him, or he may be in trouble."
Li Shui nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Not long after, Ying Zheng's bedroom arrived.
Outside the palace, Ji Ming was pushed to the ground. There was a strong man next to him with a whip, beating him.
Ji Ming's hair was disheveled, he cried miserably, and kept begging for mercy.
Li Shui sighed and said with emotion: "Ji Ming, I owe you the great contribution of saving the young master, but you don't want it. You have to be whipped here. I don't know what you think."
Ji Ming glanced at Li Shui hatefully, but was whipped again and made his head lower.
The young eunuch asked Li Shui to wait outside, and then went in to report.
After a while, the young eunuch poked his head out and said, "Your Majesty has invited me."
Li Shui followed the young eunuch in and saw that the palace was huge, with more than a dozen bronze palace lanterns inside.
The palace lantern is not very bright, but it illuminates the palace dimly, giving it an ethereal mood.
Deep in the palace, Ying Zheng was kneeling on a fine mat reading a book, with two palace maids standing next to him.
When Ying Zheng saw Li Shui coming, he immediately pointed to another mat next to him and said, "Sit down."
Li Shui bowed and sat down.
Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips and asked straight to the point: "Yesterday you said that you had met an immortal in a dream. At that time, I was half-believed and didn't ask in detail. But today you cured Fu Yao's ulcer. You really have a unique skill. Not as good as you. Let me tell you, what does an immortal look like? Where is the immortal world?"
Li Shui suddenly realized that no wonder he came here in the middle of the night. It turned out that it was not for rewards, but to hear the secrets of the fairy world.
Li Shui was a little worried: I dreamed of farting immortals, what can I say?
He coughed dryly and said bravely: "I was traveling in a fairyland in my dream. I really don't know the location of the fairyland. As for the appearance of immortals, I discovered... I found that immortals were once mortals and had seven emotions and six desires. In fact, even immortals have different emotions. When the state was established, there were also fights.”
Ying Zheng did not refute this, and nodded and said: "Gonggong was angry at Buzhou Mountain, and immortals also fight. I know this."
After Li Shui made some nonsense, he suddenly had an idea. In the eyes of the people of Qin, wouldn't the technology of later generations be like a fairyland?
So he became energetic and said: "Your Majesty, in the immortal world, there is a Shennong named Yuan. Yuan Shennong has a rice seed with a yield of one thousand catties per mu."
Ying Zheng was shocked: "One thousand catties per mu? Doesn't that mean there will never be famine?"
Li Shui said: "That's natural. In the immortal world, everyone has enough food and clothing. They are not afraid of hunger, but are afraid of being too fat."
Ying Zheng asked Li Shui again: "Did you bring back the rice seeds?"
Li Shuigan laughed and said, "I just met the immortal in my dream. How can I bring back the things in my dream?"
Ying Zheng could only nod his head regretfully.
Li Shui added: "There is a magical chariot in the fairy world. This chariot is made of steel and iron and has four wheels. It does not need oxen and horses to pull it, and can turn on its own. It can travel thousands of miles a day with the wind and lightning."
Ying Zheng was fascinated by what he heard and said: "If only a few people had obtained this car, the Six Kingdoms would have been destroyed long ago."
Li Shui said: "Let's talk about war. In the fairyland, there is a firearm as big as a fist. After being thrown out, it will explode with a bang and kill dozens of people."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he let out a sigh and said, "This firearm sounds a bit like an elixir. When you made the elixir the day before yesterday, didn't it explode with a loud bang? Why did this elixir become a weapon again?"
Li Shui was stunned and wanted to slap himself a few times. He was so talkative. Didn't this mean he was revealing his secrets?
He coughed dryly and said: "Immortal energy can be used to make elixirs, and it can also be used to make weapons. It's like water in the world. Water can be used for drinking, bathing, irrigation, and even huge floods, which can kill people. It all depends on how it is used."
Ying Zheng nodded, obviously agreeing with this statement.
Li Shui breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that after he cured Fu Yao, he was considered a trustworthy person in Ying Zheng's heart. Otherwise, this nonsense will be impossible to pass.
Next, Ying Zheng did not ask any more questions about the fairy world. The more questions he asked, the more greedy he became, but it turned out that those magical things were all dreamed up by Li Shui and he couldn't take them out at all. It was simply torture.
Ying Zheng asked: "Have you ever seen elixirs in the immortal world?"
Li Shui thought about the production process of the pharmaceutical factory and said, "Yes, in my dream, I saw immortals refining elixirs. Immortals also need to swallow elixirs."
"There are different types of elixirs. Some can make people's ears and eyesight, some can make people strong, and some can... can make people live forever."
"Not only are the types different, but the shapes are also different. Some are pill-shaped, some are powder, and some are as clear as water..."
"I have learned the refining method from the immortal. It's just that refining the Immortality Pill is more complicated and difficult. It will take me some time. As for the rest of the elixirs, the simpler ones are fine."
"For example, I can easily refine the magical item used to cure Master Fu Yao. This item is called alcohol, which means the essence of wine."
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment: "The essence is in the wine? Why did Ji Ming tell me that it was the demon in the wine?"
Li Shui suddenly looked aggrieved and said: "I refined the elixir for the king, and many people hated me. They deliberately distorted the name and made up some ridiculous jokes to alienate the relationship between me and the king. Really? I don’t know what their intentions are.”
At this moment, the strong man outside the door came in panting, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Ji Ming's whipping has been completed."
Ying Zheng's face turned livid and he said, "Hit me again."
