Ying Zheng readily agreed to Li Shui's proposal.
He looked at Li Shui with some relief and said: "Everyone in the civil and military dynasties has their own plans. But you, I find that you have no intention of fame, wealth, or fame. You just want to make Da Qin a human being." A true and sincere loyal minister who spends all his energy in the fairyland."
Li Shui said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, thank you."
Ying Zheng paused for a moment and asked Li Shui, "Do you have anything else to do?" That meant he was sending Li Shui away.
Li Shui became even more embarrassed: "I would like to ask, how much does your Majesty plan to pay for the Daitian method I invented before, and how much does it cost to buy the patent?"
Ying Zheng suddenly became speechless.
After a moment, he said calmly: "The time when the Daida method appeared, it preceded the patent method, so it is not included in the protection. Including your ambrosia, steamed buns, stone mills, and convex lenses, the patent law had not yet appeared at that time. You Just let the private people imitate it. After all, you can make enough money by relying on these things. It won’t be too late for any magical magic to be protected by patents in the future.”
Li Shuigan laughed and said: "Your Majesty cares about the people, I... admire you."
After coming out of Ying Zheng's study, Fu Yao whispered: "Master, my father is too stingy."
Li Shui said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I have countless strategies in my mind, and the fairy wine and steamed buns are just trivial."
That night, Li Shui did not return to Shang Jun's courtyard, but stayed in the palace to keep in touch with Fu Yao and Wei Young.
After all, Shangjun Courtyard is now recruiting assassins, and Li Shui doesn't want to go back. It's better to hide in the palace for safety. Once it is confirmed that Shangjun Villa is safe, it will not be too late to go back.
During the chat, Li Shui accidentally used several allusions to the Three Kingdoms. Weiyang was curious and asked Li Shui to explain.
Li Shui thought for a while and felt that after the emergence of a unique genius like himself, the fate of the Qin Dynasty would probably take thousands of years. There should be no such thing as the Three Kingdoms.
So Li Shui claimed that this was a story from the fairy world, and then he told it with confidence.
Starting from the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, talking about the three sworn alliances in Taoyuan, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, and the eighteen princes in Guandong... Weiyang listened with great interest, and Fu Yao even forgot to eat the steamed buns.
Li Shui's mouth was dry and he wanted to stop several times. Wei Yang looked at him pitifully.
Li Shui wanted to slap himself twice: "Aren't you looking for trouble for yourself?"
When it came to Guan Yunchang Wenjiu and beheading Hua Xiong, Weiyang suddenly let out a sigh and said, "This seems to be quite similar to Sir beheading Wang Li."
Li Shui was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "Did you become a gangster?"
However, he was quite quick-witted and immediately said: "Most of the warriors in the immortal world have similar behavior styles."
Weiyang snorted and urged Li Shui: "Speak quickly, speak quickly."
Li Shui had no choice but to continue talking with a grimace until the third watch. The poppy sent the little palace maid to urge her repeatedly, and Wei Young left reluctantly.
Wei Young left, and Li Shui fell to the ground exhausted.
Fu Yao came up with a pitiful look on his face: "Master, continue talking?"
Li Shui kicked him away: "That's nonsense. You think I'm Shan Tianfang."
…………
At this moment, outside Xianyang City, a group of assassins was preparing to move.
The leader is called Heitan, and he is the leader of qimo.
After the Qi and Chu factions merged, Hei Tan became the second in command. He is solely responsible for the pursuit of Xiangli Zhu.
In the past, Heitan and Mo Zhe traveled thousands of miles to hunt down Xiangli Zhu, forcing her to flee into Xianyang City.
The Mohists have set up a dragnet outside Xianyang City. As long as Xiangli Zhu comes out, they will be able to find him quickly.
But Xiangli Zhu didn't come out, so Heitan deduced that Xiangli Zhu should have sneaked into a courtier's mansion.
Ordinary people would not dare to take in a woman from out of town. Firstly, they are worried about getting into trouble, and secondly, everyone is generally poor and cannot afford to feed a single outsider. Of course, Xiangli Zhu could also choose to marry a commoner and live there, but Heitan deduced that this woman was quite proud and refused to do so.
Therefore, he sent many Mohists to sneak into Xianyang City, looking for ways to sneak into the mansions of various ministers as servants, so as to check the whereabouts of Xiangli Zhu.
It has to be said that Heitan's method is quite successful. More than half of the courtiers in Xianyang City have been infiltrated by him.
But they couldn't enter Chunyu Yue's mansion.
Chunyu Yue was a frugal man by nature, and he only needed enough servants. He had never thought about having a large number of servants. What's more, after he accepted Xiangli Zhu, he listened to her suggestion and stopped recruiting outsiders in the house.
However, Chun Yuyue's method could not defeat Hei Tan. After he found out the details of all the courtiers, he found that Xianglizhu was not found anywhere else. He could guess by the elimination method that Xianglizhu was hiding in Chunyu Mansion.
Unfortunately, Li Shui's appearance disrupted Hei Tan's plan.
He suddenly discovered that at some point, a Shangjun Courtyard had arisen outside Xianyang City.
This place first had immortal wine, and then steamed buns, and then there was the Shirota method. All kinds of unimaginable things were very much like the handiwork of Xiangli Zhu.
So he sent out ten people to test Shangjun's courtyard. There was no news of the ten people and they disappeared.
Later, he sent out another 300 people to massacre the Shangjun Courtyard. However, none of the 300 people came back alive.
Heitan was surprised, angry and happy.
What was shocking was that all three hundred people were killed. The angry thing is that these are Mo Zhe who are as close as brothers. Once they die, their own strength will be greatly reduced. Fortunately, this girl Xiangli Zhu should be in Shangjun Courtyard.
Heitan originally planned to go out in full force and capture Shangjun's courtyard. But today, I received the latest news.
One of his subordinates named Heiyun came back with some information, saying that Xiangli Zhu left Shangjun's Villa during the day.
Heitan asked Heiyun: "Is your news reliable?"
Heiyun said: "Absolutely reliable. Today Huaiguzi, Li Xin, and Xianglizhu came out of Shangjun's courtyard in disguise with fifty warriors. Many people saw it along the way. Although they I tried my best to hide it, but I was still recognized by someone who was interested."
Heitan asked again: "Are you sure Xiangli Zhu is inside?"
Heiyun said: "I am absolutely sure. I took the portrait of Xiangli Zhu and asked the people nearby. They said it was the person who disguised himself as a man in the daytime."
Heitan nodded and said to Heiyun: "You must never look for someone with such a big fanfare in the future. If someone is caught, the consequences will be disastrous."
Heiyun nodded and said, "I understand."
Heitan asked again: "Do you know where this group of people went?"
Heiyun pointed in one direction and said: "According to the people, they went that way. Five miles away, there is a lake over there with an island on the lake and several houses on the island. I have ordered people to investigate quietly. After exploring, I saw some clothes by the lake, which were indeed the clothes they wore when they were disguised during the day. There used to be a pontoon bridge on the lake, but now it has been cut off."
"According to my guess, the first two times we entered Shangjun's Villa had frightened Xianglizhu out of fear. So she quietly hid on the island."
Heitan nodded with deep approval: "Yes, yes, this statement makes sense. Xiangli Zhu is timid and cunning. It seems that she is indeed hiding there."
Heitan asked again: "According to your estimate, how many people are there on the island?"
Heiyun thought for a while and said: "There are definitely no more than 200 people. The island is not big and there are too many people. Even sleeping is too crowded. What's more, Xiangli Zhu is a woman and I'm afraid she doesn't like too many men around her. .”
Heitan nodded, waved to the Mohists around him, and said, "Let's go. If we kill Xiangli Zhu tonight, we can accomplish an unparalleled feat."
The Mo masters around him responded and followed Hei Tan with a clatter.
Hiding in the darkness, Heitan looked at the people behind him with emotion.
Five hundred people, these are the elite among the Mohists. Everyone has experienced hundreds of battles and is loyal. With such a group of people here, why worry about failing to achieve a great cause?
In fact, Heitan could call thousands of people if he wanted to. But he didn't do that. It was a bit shameful to kill a woman with thousands of people. What's more, assassination is something that requires more people than more people. Once there are a few clumsy people, it will cause bad things.
This group of people walked very quickly, and while Hei Tan was thinking, they had already arrived at the lake.
Heiyun said: "There was no lake here originally. The lake today was dug out manually a few days ago."
Heitan chuckled and said, "This Xiangli Zhu has really gone through a lot of trouble to save his life."
He looked back at the Mohists and said, "Have you seen it? Xiangli Zhu is scared."
The Mohists all laughed. They like their enemies to be afraid.
But this time the enemy is a woman, and it would be a bit embarrassing to scare a woman. But the scholars thought that this was no ordinary woman, she was a witch. After thinking this way, they felt that they were warriors fighting against monsters.
Heitan looked around and found several boats tied to the lake.
Heitan said: "Let's get on the boat and go to the other side."
Heiyun said with some worry: "Is there any fraud on this ship?"
Heitan shook his head and said: "This island is barren and small. I am afraid that a mouthful of water or a bowl of rice must be sent up by boat. These small boats should be used by people who deliver meals."
The rest of the Mohists nodded.
Heitan added: "Even if there is a problem with the boat, we are all familiar with the water properties, so we can swim over it at worst."
Heiyun thought for a while and felt that if he wanted to reach the other shore, he could only take a boat or swim there.
So he followed the others and got into the boat. There were not enough ships, so Heitan ordered others to wait on the shore and board the ship in two batches.
After the boat started, the Mo Zhe in charge of rowing was a little miserable because the oar was extremely heavy. I knocked it with my hand and it made a metallic sound. This thing seems to be made of copper.
At first, the Mohists could endure it silently, but later on, they wanted to curse loudly. Is this Xiangli Zhu sick? Aren’t you tired of rowing with a copper oar?
The copper oar is fine, but the key is that the oar blades are very small, and they can't stir up much water at all if they are paddled. Therefore, the boat moves very slowly, so it has to keep paddling forward.
The Mohists want to change their oars, but in the wilderness, where can they find a wooden oar? What's more, everyone is already in the water, do we have to row back? Assassins are most afraid of returning without success.
Finally, Hei Tan gave the order: "Let's work together until we get to the other side."
In the end, these painters had to take turns paddling, and finally reached the other side. They were all as tired as dead dogs.
Sitting on the small island, Heitan carefully looked at the house on the top of the mountain, then lowered his voice and said to his subordinates: "You...who will push the boat back and pick up the remaining brothers?"
Some of the painters lowered their heads and said nothing, some pretended to be looking for something, and some were coughing quietly.
It’s a joke, you’ve already been exhausted after rowing here, and you’re rowing back alone? Isn't that fatal? Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
