Li Shui and Li Xin came out of Qi Mansion and chatted while walking.
Li Xin said slowly: "Brother Huai, if you ask me, you are just doing something unnecessary."
"Since you have already thought about using your own font, why bother asking Mr. Qi to write it."
"Wouldn't all this fame and wealth be given to Master Qi in vain?"
Li Shui smiled, looked at Li Xin and said, "Brother Li, do you think I care about this fame and fortune?"
"Besides, do we still lack this little fame and fortune?"
Li Xin thought about it and realized that no one in the Qin Dynasty knew about Huaiguzi. Even if he didn't know about Huaiguzi, Master Banished the Immortal would still know about it.
Li Shui continued: "It is also good for us to let Mr. Qi rewrite it."
Li Xin asked in confusion: "What good can it do to us if we let him write it?"
Li Shui said slowly: "Do you know calligraphy?"
Li Xin sighed and said, "Brother Huai, is this still useful? Have you ever seen a general who leads troops to fight and practices calligraphy every day?"
"That's a little too unmanly."
Li Shui looked at Li Xin, smiled, and said, "If these words are heard by those Confucian scholars, Brother Li, you will inevitably become the target of public criticism."
Li Xin shook his sleeves and said fiercely: "Hmph, why, I'm still afraid of them?"
Li Shui looked at Li Xin as if he were a fool and said slowly: "Since you say that, are you as brave as Gongsun Qi?"
Li Xin smiled naively and said, "Of course not."
Li Shui continued: "Generals like Gongsun Qi were cursed to death by Fan Ju. Gongsun Qi would be killed if the wind blew in the ear of the late emperor."
Li Xin lost his countenance and said: "General Gongsun is my idol and the military soul of our Great Qin soldiers."
"It's really suffocating to think about dying in such an unexplained way."
Li Shui nodded and said slowly: "This is officialdom, this is government affairs. I will always be cautious and balance the forces of all parties."
Li Xin nodded, then shook his head, looked at Li Shui in confusion and asked, "That's not right, Brother Huai."
"It's fine if you say you are confounding the forces of all parties. If you say you are mediating and balancing the forces of all parties, I don't believe it."
"Brother Huai, you have offended almost everyone."
Li Shui glanced at Li Xin and said fiercely: "What does it mean to stir things up? Do you think I am a stir-up?"
Li Xin chuckled and said, "That's not the case. Brother Huai hasn't reached that level yet. At most, he is just a troublemaker."
After saying that, Li Xinxin burst into laughter.
When Li Shui heard this, he was furious. He was no bigger than Li Xin. He raised his hand and flicked his sleeve, and sprayed two streams of liquid into Li Xin's mouth.
Li Xin was laughing with his eyes closed and his mouth open, completely unaware of Li Shui's actions.
Li Xin was startled by the sudden liquid. He became nervous and swallowed part of it.
Li Xin realized something was wrong, so he quickly lowered his head and vomited hard for a few times. He kept retching, trying to spit out what he had swallowed.
Li Xin sighed, feeling very bitter.
Then, Li Xin raised his head and looked at Li Shui painfully and said, "Brother Huai, you are a bad example and you attacked me secretly."
Li Shui hummed and smiled, and said, "A soldier never tires of deceit."
Li Xin spit out a few more times and said, "What did you spray into my mouth just now? Why is it so painful?"
Li Shui smiled, looked at Li Xin who looked painful and serious, and said, "Guess."
After saying that, Li Shui turned around and walked forward.
Li Xin quickly grabbed Li Shui and said, "Brother Huai, please speak quickly. I will never ridicule you again."
Li Shui nodded and said, "Really?"
Li Xin nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.
Li Shui said slowly: "Since you are so serious, let me tell you, this is my newly developed poison."
Li Xin wondered and said: "Poison? Brother Huai, if you said it was just simple water, I would still have some doubts about the authenticity of this statement."
"Brother Huai directly said it was poison. The liquid just now must be ordinary water."
After saying that, Li Xin laughed again.
Suddenly, Li Xin thought of something and quickly covered his mouth with his hand, looking at Li Shui slyly.
Li Shui thought to himself: When did Li Xin become smarter? It seems that it will take some trouble to deceive him in the future.
Li Shui thought for a while and continued: "If Li Shui doesn't believe it, forget it. If he gets angry later, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Recently, I heard that there is an elephant disaster in Sanchuan County. Wild elephants are trampling farmland and farms wantonly. The local Guizhou Province is suffering a lot. This medicine is used for that wild elephant."
Li Xin originally didn't believe in any poison, but after hearing Li Shui's words of faith, he had a hint of doubt in his heart.
Li Xin stared at Li Shui suspiciously and said, "Brother Huai's tricks are getting better and better. I can't tell the truth from the lies for a moment."
Li Shui thought that Li Xin had already believed him, but he didn't expect that he was quite persistent.
Li Shui smiled and said, "When has Brother Li ever been able to tell the difference?"
Li Xin did not answer Li Shui's words and asked slowly: "Brother Huai, why don't you give me your antidote."
Li Shui frowned and said, "Huh? Don't you believe it?"
Li Xin chuckled and said, "It's better than nothing. If I'm really poisoned by Brother Huai, Brother Huai won't do anything to save me."
Li Shui nodded and said, "Of course not."
Li Xin smiled and said, "That's okay."
Li Shui continued: "It's just that there is no antidote yet."
Li Xin panicked and said hurriedly: "No antidote?"
"Brother Huai, this is not the way to play tricks on people. You can't joke around."
Li Shui said calmly: "Brother Li, even if you drag me in front of His Majesty, I won't be able to find the antidote. It hasn't been developed yet."
The more Li Xin thought about it, the less at ease he felt. He knew that Li Shui would not harm him.
But that thing is very bitter, completely different from ordinary water. If it is toxic and causes some jokes, it is better to poison yourself.
Li Xin thought about his lifelong reputation, which was at stake, and became increasingly anxious.
Li Xin stared at Li Shui and said, "Is there really no antidote?"
Li Shui nodded seriously and said, "It's still under development."
Li Xin immediately wanted to curse and call his superiors, but he turned around and shouted: "Go home quickly!"
The servant was stunned, quickly turned the car around, and rushed towards Li Xin's house.
Li Shui, who stayed where he was, said to himself in confusion: "Don't you believe it? Why are you so anxious?"
Li Xin put it in his house and immediately ordered his servants: "Go and ask for the medical officer, go quickly."
Seeing Li Xin in such a hurry, the servants who didn't know why didn't dare to delay, turned around and ran away.
As soon as the medical officer heard General Li's hurried summons, he stopped what he was doing, carried his medicine box and followed his servants to Qi Mansion.
The medical officer asked on the road: "General Li hastily summoned you. I wonder who is sick?"
The servant said: "The general returned home in a hurry and didn't say much."
Then the medical officer rushed to Li Xin's house. Just when he was about to ask who was sick, Li Xin stepped forward and grabbed the medical officer.
He asked hurriedly: "Hurry and show me, are there any signs of poisoning?"
The medical officer was startled when Li Xin suddenly flashed in front of him. After he came to his senses, he nodded.
The medical officer repeatedly checked the pulse of Li Xin's right hand and said, "The general has no symptoms of poisoning except for some panic."
Li Xin stared and said, "Seriously?"
The medical officer nodded and said: "The general is too nervous. After a short rest, the panic syndrome will be eliminated."
Li Xin suddenly felt very embarrassed when he thought of running back from Li Shui with a nervous look on his face.
