Wei Yang has never felt that noon is so scary.
Yesterday, my father had given an order that at noon today, the bet on fertile land would come to fruition. Wei Young was very nervous, wondering if Li Shui could escape safely.
Originally, she believed in Li Shui's ability. But I heard from Fu Yao that a fire actually burned down two hundred acres of fertile land in Lishui.
In this way, the bet becomes confusing.
Weiyang fidgeted and sighed repeatedly, and the poppy was also a little dizzy.
The poppy said to Fu Yao: "Take your sister out for a walk. She is wandering around here and I am a little dizzy."
Fu Yao groaned, put down the steamed bun in his hand, and walked out the door.
Weiyang saw that his expression was normal and calm, and he was still chewing in his mouth. He couldn't help but say: "Your master's life or death is uncertain, but you are not worried at all. Do you still have a conscience?"
Fu Yao asked in confusion: "Why is life and death uncertain?"
Weiyang was a little speechless. After taking a deep breath, she said: "In a moment, the bet will come to fruition. Aren't you afraid that Mr. Huai will lose and his head will fall on the ground?"
Fu Yao said: "It's impossible. My master is a banished immortal. How could he lose?"
Weiyang sighed: "I really envy you, you are young and ignorant, and the ignorant are fearless."
Fu Yao laughed dryly and said: "If you are worried, we can just go to the father's study and wait. Whenever there is news, it must be sent there first."
Wei Young slowly shook her head: "Father does not allow women to interfere in political affairs, and he never lets me enter the study."
Fu Yao said: "In that case... then I will go to the study and wait for news. How about you wait in my master's alchemy room? The alchemy room is not far from the study. Once there is news, I can ask the young eunuch to tell you."
Weiyang nodded and walked towards the alchemy room.
The alchemy room is located in the Yingxian Hall. It used to be very lively, with warlocks often coming in and out. But now, there is no room left.
Except for the little eunuch responsible for cleaning, no one can be seen.
Lu Lie, Hou Ji and their group have been killed. The remaining two or three warlocks have also gone to the Western Regions to find the Immortal Mountain.
As for Li Shui, he lives in Shangjun Courtyard and rarely comes to the alchemy room.
Weiyang walked here and felt that this place was very peaceful and comfortable.
She pushed open the door of Li Shui's room, touched the alchemy furnace, bamboo slips, and futon, imagining Li Shui sitting here, turning on the furnace to make alchemy.
By some strange coincidence, Wei Yang also sat on the futon, holding her chin in her hands, and began to stare at the alchemy furnace in a daze.
She imagined that Li Shui was refining the elixir vigorously that day. Suddenly, Li Shui ran out of the house with a black face and a embarrassed look on the elixir furnace.
Wei Young couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But then, Wei Young thought that Li Shui's life and death were uncertain, and she didn't know what was going on now. Then her heart was clenched again.
"Well, I was born in an imperial family, with fine clothes and fine food, and am extremely wealthy. Why do I still have so many worries?" Wei Young couldn't help but sigh.

When Fu Yao came to Ying Zheng's study, he found that there were already many people here.
Fusu is here, Chunyu Yue is here, and Hu Hai is here. There is also Ji Ming who is serving Ying Zheng.
When Fu Yao came in, Ying Zheng also knew that he was waiting for news about Li Shui, so he nodded and said, "There is no need to salute. Sit down."
Fu Yao responded and knelt down on a mat.
It's been a while since noon, and Shangjun Villa is very close to here. Logically speaking, the news should have arrived.
Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips on the cases, but he couldn't remember what was written on them.
Ying Zheng was very nervous and had many chaotic thoughts in his mind: "If Huaiguzi loses, do we really want to kill him? Two hundred acres of fertile land were burned, so it is normal for him to lose. But who knows, it was not him who set the fire Did you put it up yourself?"
"If he really let it go by himself, this person is undoubtedly a liar. Then the matter of refining the elixir is probably also a lie. I'm afraid I won't be able to live forever."
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he soon comforted himself, thinking: "I have never been so worried about destroying the six countries. Why should I care about a small Huaiguzi? What's more, Huaiguzi may not lose. If If he still wins after having two hundred acres of fertile land burned, then he will undoubtedly be banished to immortality. From now on, I can feel completely at ease and wait for the Immortality Pill."
Thinking of immortality, Ying Zheng became energetic.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Everyone turned their heads and stared at the door.
A young eunuch came in. When he saw everyone looking at him, he felt a little nervous.
He bowed at a loss and said: "Your Majesty, Pegasus is here to report. The emperor's personal soldiers have just finished weighing the corn. Wang Li's fertile land has harvested 1,700 dan. Sophora and millet fertile fields have harvested 1,500 dan."
There was silence in the room, and everyone's expressions were different.
Ying Zheng's face darkened and he was a little disappointed with Li Shui.
Fusu was also a little disappointed. What he was disappointed with was not the elixir of life. But Li Shui turned out to be a liar. The ideals of helping the world that I mentioned last time are all lies. Alas, when can we build the prosperous age of Yao and Shun that Confucius talked about?
But Ji Ming was overjoyed: "Huai Guzi, isn't he dead? Haha." He was happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Who knew there was another person who said it for him.
Hu Hai jumped up from the mat, danced and said: "Huai Guzi lost, his head should be on the ground. Haha, this person is arrogant and domineering, and he deserves this retribution."
Fu Yao suddenly became anxious, got up from the mat, and begged Ying Zheng: "Father, please don't kill my master. Huai Guzi once saved the life of his son. By the way, sir, he still has a gold medal for immunity from death, which can save him from death. .”
Hu Hai was next to him and ruthlessly added: "Huai Guzi lost the bet, so he can use the gold medal to save his life. But what about the crime of neglecting agriculture? What about the crime of deceiving the emperor? He lied about banishing immortals, setting fire to the fields... these His crime is enough to put him to death.”
Fu Yao said loudly: "It's not fair, it's not fair. My master burned down two hundred acres of farmland. Such a bet is too unfair."
Hu Hai patted Fu Yao on the shoulder and said sympathetically: "This is what his fate is, so he is willing to admit defeat."
Fu Yao opened Hu Hai's hand and looked at Fusu: "Brother, please say something."
Fusu said quietly: "If the people don't believe it, they won't stand. This..."
Fu Yao became anxious and said, "Don't you believe in respecting teachers the most? After all, my master is your uncle."
Fusu's face turned red: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Fu Yao said: "Last time I saw him, he called you nephew and gave you steamed buns to eat."
Fusu was so angry that he almost fainted, and said coldly: "Your master is shameless and everyone knows it. He forcibly pretended to be my uncle, but I have never recognized him."
However, Fusu still bowed to Ying Zheng and said: "My son believes that although Huai Guzi lost the bet, there is no need to rush to kill him. It is better to summon him and ask him clearly. If he is really guilty, then the canonical punishment will be given." Not too late."
Fu Yao was dissatisfied and felt that Fusu's plea was not a request at all. He kept muttering in a low voice: "It's a pity that bun that day. My master always treats people with sincerity, but in exchange for false feelings."
At this moment, another young eunuch hurried in and said, "Report, the bet is over."
Ying Zheng said calmly: "I already know this, please step back."
The young eunuch was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, Huaiguzi won."
"What?" Ying Zheng stood up and asked, "Isn't there only 1,500 shi of corn in Huaiguzi?"
The young eunuch said: "It turns out that the locust millet has been harvested a few days ago. There are three hundred stones of corn in the warehouse. Added together, it just beats General Wang Li."
Ying Zheng was overjoyed and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Eight hundred acres of fertile land, only half of which was planted, actually beat Wang Li. Sophora japonica and millet are so miraculous that they are like an immortal."
Fu Yao wiped the tears remaining on his cheeks and laughed.
Hu Hai was about to cry and said to Ying Zheng: "Father, please don't kill Wang Li. My uncle is loyal and devoted to the Qin Dynasty for three generations."
Ying Zheng didn't say anything. Fu Yao patted Hu Hai on the shoulder and said sympathetically: "This is what his fate is, so he is willing to admit defeat."
Hu Hai really wanted to cry this time.
At this time, another young eunuch ran in and said: "Your Majesty, Huaiguzi is outside Xianyang City and attacks Wang Li with a sword. Wang Li's head is in a different place and he is dead."
Hu Hai sat on the ground blankly, a little afraid to accept this reality.
Ji Ming shivered and suddenly felt a little pain in his butt. It's over, the backer is gone, and when I get beaten in the future, I don't even have any hope.
As for Chunyu Yue and Fusu, they looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Chunyu Yue thought: "If I had known this, I should have fought hard to save Huai Guzi's life."
But what Fu Su was thinking was: "Huai Guzi, does he really have magical powers? Now the people can be saved."
Among all the people, the one who is most calm and composed is Ying Zheng. From the moment he knew that Li Shui had won, he knew that Wang Li would die, because Li Shui had shown his murderous intention over and over again. And asked Wujiao to greet him in advance.
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Wang Li is dead, so how will the Wang family react?"
The young eunuch was stunned for a moment and said, "There is no news yet."
Ying Zheng walked out of the study and said calmly: "Send someone to investigate again."
Before the young eunuch who went to inquire about the news set off, several people came quickly from a distance.
Walking in front was the little eunuch who led the way. Following behind were Li Shui, who was spotless, and Li Xin, who was covered in blood.
When Li Shui saw Ying Zheng, he immediately saluted and shouted: "Your Majesty, Wang Ben has rebelled. I have captured him and presented him to your Majesty."
Everyone who heard this was in an uproar.
Wang Ben? That's a fierce general. Can Li Shui fight him? Can he be captured?
Ying Zhengyou said with emotion: "It is rare to banish an immortal and possess both civil and military skills."
As for Wang Ben's rebellion, Ying Zheng automatically ignored it. Li Shui yelled about others treason all day long, and Ying Zheng heard it so much that he became a little desensitized to the word treason.
Fu Yao took a step forward, helped Li Shui up, and asked with concern: "Master, why is your voice hoarse? Is your throat injured?"
Li Shui continued to say in a hoarse voice: "Haha, Wang Ben is a common man, how can he hurt my master?"
Li Xin, who was next to him, rolled his eyes and thought: "This guy shouted all the way: Huaiguzi captured Wang Ben. Can his voice not be hoarse? He can still speak now, which is already considered amazing." Baidu " Read the latest chapter of "I Was a God and a Hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
