Cao Yi thought of the way Li Si looked at the ants boredly and the way he deliberately raised his voice, and couldn't help but laugh: "The Prime Minister will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating because he doesn't understand His Majesty when he goes back."
Ying Zheng also laughed. This knowledge was far beyond the sense of superiority brought by ordinary people, which made him feel very comfortable.
Not knowing what he saw, Ying Zheng suddenly frowned. He walked behind the screen and brought back a brush soaked in ink. He came to the world map and erased an area on it: "The words here are wrong."
Cao Yi took a look and saw that Ying Zheng had mistakenly marked the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of South America. He said seriously: "Your Majesty made a small mistake. I don't know how much the fleet will travel in vain in the future."
Ying Zheng nodded with deep understanding. In the process of unifying the world, he had seen many times that due to errors in the map, the army took the wrong path, delayed the fighter plane, and even suffered heavy losses from the enemy.
Cao Yi suddenly remembered something, but he didn't know whether to ask or not. He hesitated for a while and then said: "Is there something that I still don't understand?"
Ying Zheng dried the smeared area and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Why does Your Majesty call himself the White Emperor?"
Cao Yi clearly remembered that on Mount Tai during the day, Ying Zheng told the killed red python that the Ying family were the sons of the White Emperor.
In my impression, Qin Chao Shang Hei should call himself the Black Emperor's son.
"The Taoist priest doesn't know this! It's also strange that the Taoist priest is not from this dynasty." Ying Zheng pondered for a while and said: "In the past, Duke Xiangqin saved the Zhou Dynasty and was canonized as a prince by the emperor of Zhou. He was located in the west. Duke Xiang thought he was It was because of the blessing of Shaohao, the White Emperor of the West, that we established the Western Border to worship the White Emperor. From then on, my family named Ying called myself the son of the White Emperor."
"Then Great Qin should be a white man."
Cao Yi couldn't help but say.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and explained patiently: "In the past, there was no theory of Shangse. After I unified the world, Dr. Zou Yan came up with the theory of "The End of the Five Virtues". He also said that in the past, Duke Wen once hunted a black dragon in the Wei River, which foreshadowed With the rise of Shui De, I adopted it for the sake of long-term peace and stability, and that's how I got the black color seen by the Taoist Master."
"So that's what happened!"
Cao Yi nodded.
Suddenly, a thunderous noise came.
Cao Yi immediately opened the purple, gold and red gourd and released Yelu Zhigu, one after the other, to protect Ying Zheng.
Then there were hundreds of running sounds outside.
After a while, the military tent was blocked.
Next, after a full third and a half of the incense sticks, a general wearing black clothes and armor, thin and tall, with a faint scar on his face and a lonely temperament came to the tent and bowed He said: "Your Majesty, I have found out that it was the alchemist in the alchemist camp who was refining the alchemy, and the explosion accidentally occurred."
Refining alchemy, an explosion occurred! ! !
Cao Yi and Ying Zheng looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
"Taoist Priest, do you have any idea?"
Ying Zheng asked.
Cao Yi accepted Yelu Zhigu and said with a smile, "That's what I meant."
Ying Zheng put away the world map on the table, walked out of the military tent with Cao Yi, and said to the lonely general, "Come with me and have a look."
"promise"
The lonely-tempered general held his hands and staggered his body.
While walking, Cao Yi cast his eyes on the lonely general several times, which attracted Ying Zheng's attention: "Why does the Taoist priest keep looking at General Zhang Han?"
Cao Yi suddenly said: "It turns out to be General Zhang Han, no wonder he looks so different!"
Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han: "The Taoist priest is praising you."
Zhang Han immediately raised his hands and said, "First of all, no, the Taoist priest is ridiculous."
Cao Yi smiled and said no more.
The military tent was some distance away from the alchemist camp, and the group of people walked for a long time without reaching it.
Cao Yi thought about going to sea, turned around and asked, "How is General Zhang's water quality?"
This trip to Central America and South America, along the way, there is nothing but the sea. The water is not good enough, and ten Zhang Han will die.
"Han's water is of average nature. Fortunately, there are still three months before we go to sea. Han will definitely practice swimming hard."
Zhang Han said.
Cao Yi was a little worried when he heard this. The last famous general of the Qin Dynasty should not drown on the way.
Ying Zheng heard the conversation between the two and learned that Zhang Han's water quality was not good. He frowned and said: "This trip is a vast sea and requires only those who are good at swimming. General Zhang, don't force yourself to do it."
Zhang Han immediately issued a military order: "If I cannot become a good swimmer within three months, I am willing to die to thank your majesty."
"I'm waiting for you"
Ying Zheng accepted Zhang Han's military order.
After walking for a while, the group came to the alchemist camp.
Hundreds of soldiers holding torches illuminated the alchemist camp.
Zhang Han pointed to a torn military tent not far away and said, "Your Majesty, that's the one."
A distance of twenty or thirty steps.
Ying Zheng and Cao Yi came closer in a blink of an eye.
A four-legged furnace that resembled a tripod lay across the dilapidated military tent, with several gray-headed and trembling alchemists standing around it.
Ying Zheng glanced at a few people and said calmly: "What did you add to the elixir?"
Thump thump... several alchemists lay on the ground, trembling, unable to say a word.
Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng looked at Cao Yi helplessly: "Taoist Priest, it's up to you to ask."
Cao Yi walked up to one of the alchemists, squatted down, and said kindly: "You don't have to speak, just nod or shake your head. Did you add Shiliuhuang (ancient name) to this furnace?"
The alchemist might have been frightened. Hearing this, he thought for a long time before nodding.
"Is there still Xiao (ancient name)?"
Cao Yi asked again.
The alchemist blinked and nodded repeatedly.
"charcoal?"
Cao Yi asked again.
The alchemist nodded immediately this time.
Cao Yi stood up and said to Ying Zheng: "It is undoubtedly black powder."
Ying Zheng glanced at the alchemists and said coldly: "If anything about today's events is revealed, Lingchi will be in trouble."
These alchemists were already scared, but when they heard the word Ling Chi, they fainted from fright.
Ying Zheng turned to Zhang Han and said, "Watch all the alchemists and don't let any of them get lost."
"promise"
Zhang Han clasped his hands into fists.
Just as Ying Zheng was about to leave, Cao Yi spoke: "Your Majesty, Pindao will stay here tonight."
Only then did Ying Zheng remember that he had handed over the alchemists to Cao Yi, so he changed his words and said, "Over there, give them to the Taoist Priest."
After that, he left with a large group of soldiers.
Seeing that Zhang Han hadn't left, Cao Yi asked doubtfully, "Does General Zhang have something to do with Pindao?"
Zhang Han cupped his hands and said, "I just heard from the Prime Minister that the Taoist Master is very knowledgeable about overseas affairs."
"There's no rush, let's get them settled first."
Cao Yi pointed to the unconscious alchemists on the ground and said.
"It's simple." Zhang Han waved his hand: "Send them to other alchemists' military tents."
More than a dozen soldiers came over and carried the alchemists away in a hurry.
“If you don’t understand anything, just ask.”
Cao Yi said.
Zhang Han hesitated for a while, then lowered his voice and asked, "Is there really a God-given thing overseas?"
"When Pindao conquered Xu Fu last time, was General Zhang present?"
Cao Yi asked instead without answering.
Zhang Han didn't know why Cao Yi asked him this question, so he nodded and said: "I'm here."
"Is it incredible that Xu Fu flies across the sky and is not afraid of swords and spears?"
Cao Yi asked again.
Zhang Han nodded again.
"You have seen such unbelievable things, yet you doubt the existence of God-sent things overseas?"
Cao Yi said with a smile.
"Han thought this was the same as Xu Fu and Lu Sheng's search for immortals."
A hint of bitterness flashed across Zhang Han's face.
"Xu Fu, Lu Sheng has done a lot of harm to people."
Cao Yi sighed.
