At the entrance of Kuaiji Mountain, two rows of soldiers filed out, and then lined up in two rows. In the middle, Ying Zheng walked out slowly. His face did not have the usual majesty, but was full of joy.
"Your Majesty, Li Zhao, has met!"
"Your Majesty, King Ben, has met!"
The two men immediately bowed their hands to Ying Zheng, and the murderous spirit on the battlefield immediately disappeared.
"You are all my warriors of the Qin Dynasty, no need to be polite!" Ying Zheng walked over, nodded slightly to Wang Ben, and then his eyes fell on Li Zhao, full of joy and appreciation.
"Li Zhao, you did a good job!" This short sentence expressed the emperor's gratitude.
Faced with such sensationalism, Li Zhao was not used to it and hurriedly responded: "Thank you for your support. Without your support, Li Zhao would not be as good as he is today."
Ying Zheng was very pleased and waved his hand to Li Zhao, "There is no need to be so humble, merit is merit. Everyone can see this. Without you, everyone can imagine the fate I would face."
"Do you think so, Marquis Tongwu?" Huang turned his head and looked at Wang Ben.
Wang Ben was immediately frightened. Although the emperor's words were said casually, he understood the meaning. Almost tens of thousands of thieves were wiped out in one day and night. Li Zhao was the main hero, and Wang Ben was only a supporter and could not take the credit.
Wang Ben didn't mean to take credit, and he didn't even think so. Instead, he admired Li Zhao very much.
"Yes, Your Majesty said that Li Shaonei was the first to achieve victory in this battle."
"Yes!" Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then became extremely serious and shouted: "Li Zhao accepts the order!"
Li Zhao was stunned for a moment when he heard these words without warning, but he quickly came to his senses and hurriedly knelt down.
"Li Zhao, a general of thousands of men, protected me during my eastern patrol. He killed tens of thousands of thieves and captured tens of thousands of trophies, which allowed me to settle down. This is a supreme achievement. I now appoint Li Zhao as the chief general and command an army of 100,000 people. When the eastern patrol is over, At that time, I immediately accepted the order and was granted the title of Fifteen Young Masters, with a salary of 750 dan."
"In addition, the three armies can be controlled at any time during the eastern patrol."
When Li Zhao heard this, he lost consciousness for a while and his mind was confused. General? Shao Shang Zao? Everyone is a supreme being. Even if some people spend their entire lives on the battlefield, they will not be able to become a general, let alone a young master.
At this moment, he actually had two of them, at the same time.
Shaoshangzao is not only a symbol of status, but also the small group of people closest to the emperor. It can be said that with such a title, Li Zhao's future is bright.
Also, you can control the three armies during the Eastern Patrol. What does that mean? The meaning is obvious, that is, when a crisis arises, Lian Wuhou Wang Ben, a master of great military achievements, will be assigned by him.
This seemed a bit like a dream, but the emperor's presence really made Li Zhao know that all of this was true.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Zhao quickly knelt down and saluted with great sincerity.
Yingzheng only gave oral instructions and did not issue imperial edicts on silk.
"No need to thank you, get up!" Ying Zheng helped Li Zhao up and said at the same time, "I have sent people back to the court to announce the decree to Chang'an Township. From now on, you in Chang'an Township will become a noble and be worshiped by the world."
Li Zhao was secretly happy that he had become a noble. The concept of aristocrat is not big in his mind, but with a "noble" person, his identity and status can be improved!
Don’t you see that all the powerful officials in the Manchu Dynasty are called powerful? This is a symbol of power and status. From now on, he will also step into this circle, and he is very willing to see this.
"Thank you for your kindness, your majesty. I will loyally protect you and protect your majesty's safety."
After Li Zhao finished thanking him, a long-lost voice sounded in his mind: Congratulations to the host for touching the system and releasing the reward and wish. Should you accept it now or keep it temporarily?
wish?
When he received the gift, Li Zhao was ready to receive the reward, but when he heard about the reward, he was a little confused.
wish? what?
The system always rewards either physical objects or knowledge, but I have never seen anything so weird.
He couldn't accept it immediately. He wanted to ask the system clearly what his wish was.
"System, what kind of reward is this? Can I get whatever I want?" Li Zhao understood this.
An emotionless voice sounded from the system: "In principle, yes, in fact it must be within a specific situation and specific things."
This answer is a bit abstract, but it does not hinder Li Zhao's understanding. In other words, if you want to get any reward, you must be in a specific situation, and not just anything can be obtained.
This is a bit harsh, but it is also practical.
It’s impossible that if he wants a spaceship now, the system should really give him a spaceship! This is impossible.
"accept!"
Li Zhao thought silently, and the system's voice suddenly sounded: "Okay, the reward has been placed in the warehouse. The system will remind you if necessary."
What! Li Zhao hated the cold. He clearly said he would accept it, but why did he still put it in the warehouse? This was not to extort money from him. If he wanted something unimaginable, the system would charge a sky-high storage fee, and he would not lose much.
But when the system works, no one needs to say more, it is so willful.
Ying Zheng didn't know what happened to Li Zhao and the system. After Li Zhao nodded to him, he waved to Li Zhao and said, "Follow me."
"No!" Li Zhao followed Ying Zheng, but he was very worried. Why did the emperor come to see him alone?
In fact, there was no crisis at the moment, and he couldn't care about other things.
"Li Zhao, let me ask you, did anything unexpected happen to me during this trip to the east?" This question was all from the perspective of Li Zhao's inner voice. If Li Zhao paid attention, he would have woken up, but he did not go there. On the other hand, he raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, so naturally there will be no accidents."
"I think you only need to pay attention to the bad guys." The bad guys he mentioned are naturally not thieves.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Zhao deeply, and for a moment he really wanted to ask: Will I really die in the sand dunes?
But he didn't ask.
After calming down the waves in his heart, he took a deep breath and continued: "I got a tip that there are thieves gathering in Langya, which may not be a good thing."
"Thieves gathered in Langya?" Li Zhao was shocked when he heard this.
It is recorded in the history books that Qin Shihuang passed through Langya on his fifth eastward tour and met Xu Fu there. Xu Fu said that he had obtained the elixir, but he was just suffering from the sharks and couldn't get there, so he couldn't get it.
He also asked Qin Shihuang to ask good archers to go out and shoot the mackerel with a repeating crossbow, so that he could go to Penglai to get the elixir.
Qin Shihuang actually did this and sent out crossbowmen to kill a big fish in the sea. He eventually fell ill and died in a sand dune.
What does it mean for the thieves to gather in Langya now?
Could it be that the time-travelers still had their hearts set on Qin Shihuang and knew that Qin Shihuang was passing by Langya, so they set up a trap in Langya and waited for Qin Shihuang to fall into the urn?
This idea is reasonable, but it is not necessary!
Since he was a person from time travel, he naturally knew that Qin Shihuang would die in the sand dunes, so why bother?
Does he have another purpose?
At this moment, a sentence came to mind: "Holding the emperor to control the princes". Li Zhao was shocked and secretly thought that if this person is really like this, he has great ambitions!
Presumably people who traveled through time knew that Hu Hai was the second emperor of Qin. The best way to achieve the goal of holding the emperor hostage and commanding the princes was to capture Hu Hai.
In other words, their goal was not Qin Shihuang, but Hu Hai.
There is also Zhang Liang. Whether it was the bandits ganging up in Saga Mountain or the siege in Kuaiji Mountain, Zhang Liang’s shadow was there. This shows that Zhang Liang must have been bribed by the time traveler and became his lackey.
Zhang Liangshan's strategy has failed one after another. He must know that his weapons are powerful. Then he will be wary of it. How will he deal with it?
Li Zhao felt that the Eastern Tour, which was originally very pure in history, had become more difficult.
If they really capture Hu Hai, with Hu Hai's temperament, he will definitely be used by the thieves. Then Da Qin will no longer be Da Qin, but just a puppet.
Although the Qin II era was only three years old, Li Zhao did not want to struggle hard in these three years, and he might be worried about Hu Hai and targeted by some people.
You must know that he has definitely offended Li Si. With Li Si's temperament, when Qin II succeeds to the throne, he, the prime minister, will never let him go.
Without the protection of Qin Shihuang, could he be Li Si's opponent? impossible.
Li Zhao frowned. There were only two ways in front of him. One was to escape immediately, the farther the better. But if he escaped like this, everything he had finally owned would be gone. Also, under Qin Shihuang's control, With sharp eyes, can he escape?
The only second way left is to prevent Qin Shihuang from dying. I don’t know how Qin Shihuang detoxified from heavy metal poisoning during this period. If it is true that according to history, he started to get sick at sea and died of illness in the sand dunes, that would not be good. Done.
However, many people commented on the death of Qin Shihuang in his previous life. Some said he died of heavy metal poisoning, while others said he died of an epileptic seizure.
Li Zhao believes that heavy metal poisoning may be more common. After all, Qin Shihuang often swallowed pills. It is also possible that swallowing too many heavy metals may cause epilepsy.
If this is the case, simply asking Qin Shihuang to take milk and egg white would not be enough. These two cannot cure epilepsy.
Epilepsy is not a malignant disease, and it will not cause death if it is not serious. However, epilepsy is unconscious during the seizure, and death may not occur if there is external trauma.
If it is a more severe form of epilepsy, it can easily cause brain damage, put great pressure on the heart during an attack, and have a high fatality rate.
Li Zhao speculated that the historical record of Qin Shihuang's death in Sand Dune was probably caused by heavy metal attacks and epilepsy, which led to his death.
"We cannot let Qin Shihuang die!" Li Zhao secretly decided.
But saving Qin Shihuang is not easy. The poison of heavy metals is slowly being resolved. As long as Qin Shihuang no longer swallows pills, according to current observations, there should be no big problem. However, epilepsy is different. It is the key to Qin Shihuang's death.
"What should I do?" Li Zhao muttered. Suddenly, he thought of the 'wish' he had just obtained. Wish can obtain specific things under specific circumstances. In such a difficult situation, it should be a specific situation!
Does it mean that we can get good medicine to cure Qin Shihuang's illness?
However, it would be a big loss for him to really redeem the reward like this.
Ying Zheng was about to ask Li Zhao what he thought of the gathering of bandits, but he heard Li Zhao's confused thoughts: Why can't Qin Shihuang die?
I'm so sick of the cold, even if I know he's dead, I don't have to worry about it all day long! He cares a lot.
