Li Shui was a little depressed. If he had known that the alchemist still had this role, he should have begged for mercy. ▲-八▲-八▲-Read ▲-Book, ◇o≧
Seeing Li Shui's melancholy expression, the three brothers from the Western Regions thought for a while and said, "All the alchemists in Xianyang City have been killed, but the world is so big that it may not be the same in other places."
Li Shui's eyes lit up: Yes.
Even according to historical records, after Qin Shihuang killed the alchemists in Xianyang City, a few years later, another group of alchemists gathered around him.
Alchemists are like leeks, they are cut one after another. If you want to look for them, you will definitely find them.
So Li Shui nodded and said to the three brothers from the Western Region: "You three will be responsible for this matter. I want you to convey the news quickly, saying that the banished immortals will select alchemists to go to the Immortal Mountain. Those who are willing to come, All the food, clothing, housing and transportation will be taken care of by Shangjun Courtyard. Once the project is completed, there will be huge benefits."
The three brothers from the Western Regions bowed excitedly, and then began to plan eagerly how to convey the news quickly.
…………
It had been ten days, and Mao Dun and the nineteen guards were looking forward to seeing what happened. Except for the clerk who delivered the meal, no one paid any attention to them.
Maodun was a little panicked: Have the people of Qin forgotten me?
When delivering food again, Mao Dun expressed his concerns to the clerk. But the clerk comforted him and said that the people in the temple were checking their identities, and they would naturally let them go after the screening was clear.
In fact, their identities were determined five days ago. The reason why they have been imprisoned until now is indeed because Li Shui forgot about them.
Ying Zheng gave full authority to Maodun and his group to the care of Li Shui. There is only one request: let them experience the rigor of Da Qin's laws.
But Li Shui was busy applying for patents, busy opening a restaurant, and telling Weiyang stories. I really can’t take care of Maodun anymore.
Maodun waited for another five days, but he couldn't wait any longer. He discussed it with the guards around him. They all took off their sheepskin coats and gave them to the clerk who was guarding them. They begged the clerk to help them urge the powerful people of Qin.
This is their only possession. Although the sheepskin coat is old, it is still worth some money. Twenty coats are enough for a small official to make a small fortune.
The clerk bundled the coats into a bundle with a smile, carried them on his back, and sold them on the same day. Then I bought a silver hairpin for my wife...
As for urging the powerful, how can a junior official have the courage to do so?
It was winter now, and the people in Maodun had no sheepskin coats and were shivering from the cold. It's better during the day and I can bask in the sun outside. But at night, my hands and feet are often cold and I can't sleep.
As a last resort, they had to huddle together with about twenty people to keep warm.
One of the guards couldn't stand it any longer and said to Mao Dun: "Your Majesty, should we follow the example of Satire and be a little more arrogant? We are so submissive, yet we are treated like this. 3≠八3≠八3≠Read 3≠ Book, ↗o●Sha Tilie was so arrogant, but he won the support of the people of Qin. Maybe the people of Qin like arrogant people."
Mao Dun said: "Your idea is simply unreasonable. Please bear with it a little longer. Maybe the Qin people want to test us."
Five days later, one of the guards had started to have a fever.
Several people in Maodun took off their leather boots and handed them to the clerk, asking him to find a doctor.
The clerk bought leather boots and a pair of earrings for his wife.
Then he pulled his cousin over and pretended to be a doctor.
The cousin made a lot of inquiries, then boiled some grass roots and drank them to the patient as herbal medicine.
Anyway, this thing is not poisonous. What if the cat kills the mouse, can it really cure the disease?
After drinking the grass roots, the guard had diarrhea for three days and died of dehydration.
The remaining guards couldn't stand it anymore and said to Mao Dun: "Your Majesty, the situation now is obvious. The more submissive we are, the more they bully us."
Mao Dun looked at his dead companions, gritted his teeth and said, "Wait for three more days. After three days, if the Qin people still behave like this, we will escape."
The guards were silent, and then asked in a low voice: "There are heavy guards outside, what if we can't escape? Even if we escape from the post house, once the Xianyang city gate is closed, we still can't leave."
Mao Dun said quietly: "Then let's set fire to the post house first. Then go kill people on the street, one by one. We will not rest until death."
When the guards heard this, they immediately became energetic.
…………
Two days later, in the middle of the court meeting, Ying Zheng suddenly asked Li Shui: "Hongnu, what's wrong?"
Li Shui was stunned for a moment and thought: What Huns? There has been no news from Satire recently.
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered: Maodun!
Li Shui hesitated and said: "Well, the matter is almost done. The result will be soon."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "I feel relieved that you are doing the work."
Li Shui grinned hard and tried hard to smile.
After the dynasty was over, Li Shui found Wu Jiao and told him, "Check for me and see where Mo Dun is being held."
Wu Jiao looked at him with a puzzled look on his face: "Aren't you locked up in a posthouse?"
Li Shui slapped his forehead: "It turns out it's a post house. I thought I was locked up in the palace."
…………
Half an hour later, Mao Dun and others, who were discussing the battle plan, heard a burst of hurried footsteps. Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open.
A young official with a smile on his face walked in and said with a smile: "Oh, isn't it nice to have friends from far away?"
Mao Dun asked: "Who is your Excellency?"
The official smiled and said, "I am the immortal you are looking for."
Modun asked in surprise: "So young?"
Li Shui smiled: "I'm not young anymore. I'm already eight thousand years old. I'm just immortal, so I can keep my appearance."
The Huns were extremely skeptical of these words, but they finally remembered their character in Xianyang City: stupid.
So they all smiled honestly: "That's it."
Li Shui said with a smile: "Are you a Huns? I used to call you brothers and sisters with your Huns ancestors. Now I see his descendants, I miss people when I see things, and I feel a little nostalgic. In terms of seniority, you call me ancestor. It’s not an exaggeration.”
The Huns looked at each other, a little confused as to how to answer.
The little official next to him was very smart and said: "Why don't you call me ancestor?"
Mao Dun looked confused: I want to act stupid, but I don’t have to act so stupid, right?
Li Shui chuckled and said, "Just kidding. Everyone, treat Xianyang City as your own home, don't be polite."
Afterwards, Li Shui left. Before leaving, he said to the Qin soldiers guarding the inn: "Let them move freely. These people have come from afar and are my guests of Da Qin, not prisoners."
Qin Bing agreed and took back his weapons.
Mao Dun breathed a sigh of relief: We have finally waited for this day. It's not easy, it's really not easy.
Mao Dun asked Li Shui: "Exiled Immortal, I came to Da Qin to borrow troops. I don't know about this..."
Li Shui smiled slightly and said, "We will discuss this later. You can rest in the city first."
After saying that, Li Shui got on the carriage and left the inn.
Nineteen Huns, wearing single clothes and bare feet, like beggars, walked out of the inn.
Li Shui hid in the carriage in the distance and whispered instructions to the craftsman next to him.
The craftsman immediately conveyed his intention to banish the immortal. Soon, a group of poor people rushed up, holding clods of soil, stones, mud, and even feces in their hands.
They threw all these things at Mao Dun and his party. As they threw them, they cried loudly: "My husband died at the border and was killed by you Huns. You must pay with blood."
The actions of these people greatly affected other people.
The last time Shatilie came, the people treated Shatilie as a guest. Although they didn't like them very much, they didn't want to do anything to them.
But this time, with a group of people guiding the atmosphere, the emotions of the people in Xianyang were quickly aroused.
Nineteen Huns faced thousands of angry people.
They wanted to run away, but there were people in all directions. They wanted to beg for mercy, but the shouts and curses around them were too loud and no one heard them.
Soon, they were knocked to the ground and beaten black and blue.
Li Shui watched coldly, seeing that Mao Dun was about to be beaten to death, and quickly waved to him.
Soon, people from the government appeared, dispersed the people, helped Mao Dun up, and apologized repeatedly.
Modun said nothing and endured all this silently.
Li Shui was a little helpless. Mao Dun was quite tolerant. He didn't even resist being beaten like this? Even if you push someone, I will have a reason to arrest you.
Li Shui rubbed his temples and thought: Give you two more days, if you are still stubborn and don't dare to resist, then I can only frame you. Hey, I am a relatively upright person, and I hate being framed. Otherwise, why bother with this?
Li Shui made it clear to the craftsmen that if they wanted to entertain Mao Dun well, they must force out his anger.
Later, Li Shui returned to Shangjun Courtyard.
From that day on, the station has never stopped. From time to time, someone yelled and scolded and ridiculed the Huns.
Many people were bold enough to rush into the courtyard and throw stones at the Huns in the house.
The officials at the inn were indifferent to all this, and every time they waited for the troublemaking people to leave, they would force the Huns to clean the courtyard.
The Hun guard said to Mao Dun: "Your Majesty, let's fight out."
Mao Dun shook his head: "A small impatience will mess up a big plan. They are just some ignorant people. The most important thing is to get the support of the nobles of Qin."
The guard said: "If the nobles in Qin want to protect us, how dare the people do this?"
Mao Dun sighed: "Maybe the Qin people are noble and want to test us again. Just bear with it a little longer. If you can't bear it anymore, we will kill him and bleed him like a river. But... I don't believe that the Qin people are so short-sighted." "
…………
The next day, Li Shui was sleeping. Suddenly a craftsman called the door.
Li Shui asked in a daze: "What's the matter?"
The craftsman said anxiously: "Early this morning, we went to harass Mao Dun again, but we met Chun Yuyue, and he reprimanded us severely. He said that Mao Dun was a guest from afar, and it was shameful to treat them like this. It’s Da Qin’s face.”
"He ordered people to bring clothes to Modun, let them eat, and then took them to Chunyu Mansion."
Li Shui was a little confused: I tortured Mao Dun like this, but he didn't commit a crime. Why are you, Chunyu Yue, joining in the fun?
However, Li Shui thought about it and laughed again: "When Your Majesty asked, I said that the matter was going to be done, but it was ruined by Chun Yuyue."
After thinking about this, Li Shui hummed and said, "I understand, you don't have to worry about Mao Dun."
With Chunyu Yue taking the responsibility, Li Shui was not anxious anymore and simply lay down and went to sleep until he woke up. 11
