Li Si was speechless after hearing this.
As a minister who could prosper in front of the powerful monarch Ying Zheng, he has never been a principled person.
"Go down and get ready"
Ying Zheng sent Li Si away with one sentence.
Cao Yi and Ying Zheng were the only two people left in the spacious room. No one spoke, and the room was completely silent.
Cao Yi could feel Ying Zheng's heart beating faster, as if he was making an important decision.
After a full hundred breaths passed, Ying Zheng said, "If Hu Hai does not die after this, the Taoist priest will give him a ride for me."
Cao Yi didn't want to get involved in Ying Zheng's family affairs: "Just leave this kind of matter to a guard."
A few days before Ying Zheng returned to the case, he wrote an imperial edict on silk, handed it over and said, "Excuse me, Taoist priest, to give this imperial edict to Hu Hai."
Cao Yi took it, said goodbye and left.
In the next few days, although there was a lot of teaching Taoist classics, preparing gunpowder, and schoolwork, Cao Yi was not busy at all.
Six disciples were responsible for the gunpowder, and Ying Zheng transferred a group of craftsmen from Xue County to help.
The teaching of Taoist classics was passed on to others by six other disciples. Cao Yi had already told them the core idea, and the details should be practiced individually.
The homework of Zhuzi Baijia is simpler, and the flower of the other side is in hand. I selectively let them read the homework knowledge, and slowly explore the rest by myself.
When he was free, Cao Yi practiced, read classics, drank tea, and rode horses, and lived a leisurely life.
There was a turmoil outside. The news that the young master Hu Hai, who was about to arrive in Qufu, received an imperial edict on the way and took 300 people to Daize near Mount Tai to pray for the emperor, was inadvertently leaked.
After receiving the news, the rebel forces from various countries rushed towards Mount Tai with the intention of infuriating the old people half to death even if they could not kill them.
Two days later.
A carriage with a very impressive appearance, escorted by a dozen soldiers, arrived at the bank of Daize near Mount Tai.
In the carriage, Li Si held the imperial edict, his face darkened.
Cao Yi smiled and said, "Prime Minister, what's going on?"
Li Si put down the imperial edict and said angrily: "What's wrong? This kind of imperial edict forces the prince to commit suicide. As far as ministers can go, hide as far away as possible. Taoist priest, it's better for you to insist on letting him come. From now on, when your majesty sees Si , I think of the dead Mr. Hu Hai, how could it be better than this?"
Cao Yi picked up the imperial edict and put it back in his sleeve, and said, "I am going to Daize now to see Mr. Hu Hai. Will the Prime Minister go?"
Li Si turned his head to the side, he would not go.
"You really don't want to go?"
"Not going"
"You're not going to die?"
"Huh? You won't even die."
Cao Yi no longer forced himself, and when he got out of the car, he casually glanced at the woods on one side.
As if nothing had happened, he walked along the temporary wooden bridge and boarded a boat parked on the shore. He waited for a dozen soldiers to board other boats and said to the boatman: "Set the boat."
The boat had traveled less than three feet when a whistling sound came from behind.
Turning around, he saw that the carriage was filled with bows and arrows, which looked shocking.
The carriage door was pushed open from the inside, and Li Si, who had two arrows stuck in the mountain crown, climbed out in a panic and kept shouting: "Taoist, Taoist..."
At the same time, the sound of many people running came from the woods.
Cao Yi was surprised and said: "Didn't the Prime Minister say that he would not go even if he died?"
Li Si turned around and saw many thieves with iron swords rushing in this direction, and was frightened. He stumbled to the wooden bridge and shouted repeatedly: "Go, go, go..."
Cao Yi saw a bundle of hemp rope on the boat, picked it up, made a buckle, grabbed one end, threw it casually, and the other end fell on the wooden bridge. At this time, the thief was not far away.
Li Si grabbed the rope, put it on his body, and stamped his feet repeatedly: "Pull quickly, pull quickly..."
After finally becoming a being who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, he does not want to die here in a daze.
On the boat, Cao Yi pulled Li Si from the wooden bridge to the boat with a casual pull.
Before Li Si could react, he saw Cao Yi appearing in front of him.
"Taoist Master"
"go in"
Cao Yi pulled Li Si into the cabin.
After controlling the water, a calm wave came, and several boats that were originally upright became horizontal.
At the same time, a hail of arrows struck again, all hitting the boat.
Cao Yi controlled the water again, creating calm waves, and the boat traveled several feet away in the blink of an eye.
Since the soldiers and boatmen on the other ships had all hid in the cabins in advance, no one died under this hail of arrows.
Cao Yi used No Wind and Waves for the third time, and several ships sailed out of the range of the bow and arrow.
The boatmen went out to row and sail towards the center of Daize.
…
On the shore, behind hundreds of thieves, a dark and tall middle-aged man walked out with a gloomy expression.
A man who looked like a leader came up to him and said, "Master, the wave that broke out just now must be caused by the legendary monster who caused chaos in the country."
A sneer appeared on the middle-aged man's face: "Someone will deal with him."
The man who looked like a leader said again: "You just came to report that there is no Qin army within thirty miles."
The sneer on the middle-aged man's face grew louder: "With or without the Qin army, if we can't kill Hu Hai within an hour, we will evacuate here."
The leader thought for a while and asked, "Should we inform the Koreans, Yan people, Zhao people, and Wei people?"
"No need"
The middle-aged man rejected it outright.
…
The water surface of Daize is clear and green. Under the sunlight, it shines brightly. A spring breeze blew by, and a large lotus leaf was layered on top of each other, like a green umbrella.
Cao Yi came out of the cabin and stood at the stern of the ship, admiring the charming scenery in front of him.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Li Si came out, his face still not calming down.
Cao Yi smiled and said: "Prime Minister, are you feeling better?"
Li Si looked aside and ignored Cao Yi. He is a dignified prime minister, and he was really embarrassed just now.
Suddenly, a croaking sound came from Li Si's stomach.
"I forgot, the Prime Minister didn't have breakfast when he came."
Cao Yi took out the alcohol lamp, pot, and some ingredients from the purple-gold red gourd that he had never used before leaving the world of Xunlong Jue.
Once done, put in two small folding chairs.
He sat aside.
Li Si followed Cao Yi's example and sat down, looking at the alcohol lamp with surprised eyes.
In about ten minutes, the ingredients in the pot are ready to eat.
Cao Yi took out his chopsticks and started eating.
Li Si was a little uncomfortable picking up chopsticks. In his era, these were used for dividing vegetables. He picked up a vegetable and just put it in his mouth. A voice shouting to kill came from the front.
Li Si was a little nervous after what he had just experienced. He immediately jumped up and saw many bamboo rafts surrounding the small island in the distance. Thieves holding iron swords and sharpened green bamboos were attacking the island. He said in surprise: " Mr. Hu Hai is in danger"
"Then we don't have to go there."
Cao Yi said without raising his head.
"How does this make"
Li Si frowned.
Cao Yi ignored Li Si. The purpose of his visit this time was the person who possessed the suspected Xu Fu scroll.
A quarter of an hour later, that is, fifteen minutes, Li Si suddenly said: "Look, it's Young Master Hu Hai."
