According to the letter, there is a group of Li people living in the Lishan Mountains of Ruyang County. Their number is unknown. They live in peace with the world, are good at cultivating gu, and live in the mountains all year round.
By chance, Qin Cheng heard that the Li tribe had a holy Gu that could cure all kinds of diseases, regenerate broken bones, and even extend life.
More than a month ago, in order to find out the authenticity of the news, Qin Cheng ordered five sect attendants to enter Lishan with more than 30 guards.
However, five days later, only three sect attendants escaped with wounds all over their bodies.
Qin Cheng had no choice but to tell him about this matter, because Qin Cheng was powerless about this matter. You know, he was just a powerless vassal king now.
Moreover, the letter also said that if he wanted to find out, he suggested that he take his troops and go into Lishan in person, because according to the news Qin Cheng received, it seemed that the holy Gu could not leave Lishan. In order not to alert the snake, it would be better to go into the mountain by himself. .
In fact, Qin Heng could also understand the meaning of this sentence. Since it is a holy Gu, this thing must be of great significance to the Li people.
If it doesn't work well, we will have to use force to communicate.
Qin Heng put down the letter with constant doubts in his heart. To be honest, he had doubts about the authenticity of the news.
He even wondered if Qin Cheng was planning to harm him.
However, if he thought about it more carefully, he had no interest relationship with Qin Cheng, and Qin Cheng didn't have an heir yet, so logically he shouldn't have deceived him.
There is no benefit to Qin Cheng from killing himself, and besides, he is also taking such a big risk.
As for the holy Gu mentioned in the letter, he is still half-convinced. After all, time travel can happen. With such a powerful holy Gu, it should be possible.
But when he thought of going to Lishan, he felt a little worried. How could he enter Lishan like this, and there was a risk of losing his life at any time.
His thoughts became more and more chaotic. He raised his head and looked at the sect attendant in front of him who was delivering the letter, and asked, "Is there really a holy Gu in Mount Li?"
Zong Shi Ma Zheng showed a trace of contemplation on his face. After a while, he replied: "Back to Your Highness, this matter has not been confirmed yet. My Highness only heard the news from a purchased slave."
"However, the Li people have indeed been living in Lishan. As for the Holy Gu, we still need to confirm it."
"A few days ago, the people sent in were attacked by venomous snakes and beasts in the mountains before they could find the Li people. Only Zhang Yong and three other clan servants came back alive."
"Where is that slave?" Qin Heng asked with a thought in his heart.
Ma Zheng showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, lowered his head and said, "That man is dead."
"Dead?" Qin Heng was stunned.
"Well, last time that man went into the mountains with Zhang Yong and the others, he was directly bitten to death by a pack of mountain wolves." Ma Zheng nodded and replied.
"This..." Qin Heng's lips moved slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.
Why does this sound more and more unreliable?
"But don't worry, Your Highness, that man has roughly drawn the route in the mountains. If you follow this route, you can also find the Li people."
Ma Zheng's voice rang in Qin Heng's ears. He nodded absently and asked softly: "Did you bring the map?"
"Bring it." Ma Zheng said and took out a map from his arms. Apparently, Qin Cheng had already made arrangements before coming.
Qin Heng took the map handed over by Zhang Long and looked down.
The entire map is simple to draw, with four directions marked on a continuous mountain range.
And deep in the mountains, a circle is actively marked with the words Li nationality on it.
Qin Heng shook his head secretly. He couldn't see anything on the map.
It can only be inferred that the place where the Li people live is quite far away from the outside world.
He put down the map and looked at Ma Zheng: "You go down and rest first, I want to think about it."
"No." Ma Zheng responded cleanly without saying much.
"Take him down and make arrangements." Qin Heng looked at Zhang Long beside him and ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhang Long nodded and immediately walked out with Ma Zheng.
Seeing the two people leaving, Qin Heng frowned slightly. He didn't know how to deal with this matter for a moment.
Forget it, go ask Wen He and the others.
Thinking of this, Qin Heng's mind sank and he went directly to the Poison Hall.
"Greetings, my lord."
Qin Heng opened his eyes, and Jia Xu and four others were already standing at the door of the hall to greet him politely.
"Gentlemen, you're welcome. Come in."
Qin Heng smiled slightly, walked into the lobby, and sat on the main seat. He looked at a few people and asked aloud: "Gentlemen, what should I do about this matter?"
The four of them looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.
Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, from the bottom of their hearts, they definitely don't want Qin Heng to take the risk. If something unexpected happens, they will be in trouble.
They just wanted to hold on and secure a legitimate son.
But these words cannot be said out loud, otherwise it will appear that they are a little selfish.
After all, this is a major issue related to whether Qin Heng can walk.
"What? Do you gentlemen have anything to hide?" Qin Heng's eyes moved, and he asked again with a smile on his lips.
Several people looked a little unnatural. Cheng Yu glanced at them, raised his hands, and said: "Returning to my lord, the situation of this matter is unclear. I and the others really dare not draw any conclusions. My lord, you might as well go into the palace and ask your majesty." , perhaps there are relevant records of this matter in the palace documents."
As soon as these words came out, Jia Xu and others cast appreciative glances.
This shot was a good push. Based on Qin Huang's character, he definitely didn't want Qin Heng to take risks.
When Qin Heng heard this, he was also moved in his heart. It has been more than two hundred years since the founding of the Qin Dynasty. There are probably relevant records in the palace documents. Why not go to the palace and ask.
He raised his head, took a deep look at a few people, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised an inexplicable smile, and said: "In that case, let me go to the palace first."
After that, he stood up, raised his hands and walked out, while gently closing the door.
Seeing his disappearing figure, a trace of apology flashed in the eyes of Jia Xu and the others. After looking at each other, Chen Ping's lips moved slightly: "This matter depends on how Emperor Qin chooses."
Jia Xu and the other three glanced at him, but were speechless, as if they knew the meaning of his words.
In the study, Qin Heng opened his eyes and shouted directly: "Afu."
"My slave is here."
Ah Fu walked in from outside the door.
"Get ready, I'm going to the palace."
"promise."
Ah Fu didn't ask any more questions, turned around and went down to prepare.
Looking at Ah Fu's figure, Qin Heng's eyes flashed with determination.
As long as there is hope of recovery, he will certainly not give up.
People who have not had this experience will never understand this kind of useless life.
After a lot of trouble, Qin Heng took the letter and rode in Wang Qinggai's car to the palace. After the report, Zhao Hu pushed him to Qinfang Palace.
Entering the palace, Qin Heng looked at Emperor Qin who was sitting on the dragon throne and looked at him with attention, and bowed respectfully.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
Emperor Qin's face was kind, and he raised his hand to signal: "Get up, Your Majesty."
