A knife in love

Hearing what the old man in gray clothes said, Li Qiufeng admired Xu Fu for being so cunning and cunning. He thought to himself that Qin Shihuang was an emperor through the ages, who drove the tiger and wolf army to destroy the six kingdoms in the east, unified the Central Plains, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and flattened Baiyue in the south. Truly a remarkable figure.If Xu Fu stayed by Qin Shihuang's side, if he hadn't been careful and calculated everywhere, Qin Shihuang would have seen his flaws long ago, and his fate would be the same as those alchemists who were tortured and killed by Qin Shihuang.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, the old man in gray went on to say: "When Xu Fu was discussing this matter with several alchemists, naturally he would not tell the alchemists what was on his mind. He only said that in order not to make Qin Shihuang suspicious , I was willing to stay in the capital to deal with Qin Shihuang, and let several alchemists go to sea to do things with confidence. Those alchemists didn't know that Xu Fu was using them to explore the way. I am grateful to Dade, and vowed to do things properly, and I will never leave Xu Fu alone in the capital, allowing Qin Shihuang to kill him.

"The reason why Xu Fu boldly let these alchemists go to sea first is because he has made various preparations in advance, and he is not afraid that these guys will abandon him and escape alone. If Qin Shihuang sent a thousand elite soldiers to guard him, it was Xu Fu who sent them. Idea. On the surface, these soldiers and horses are to protect the alchemists, but in fact they are to prevent them from escaping. Moreover, Xu Fu hinted that the sea is rough and the future is uncertain for the alchemists. If they never return, they will either die under the swords and guns of the soldiers of the Qin army, or be buried in the belly of fish. Even if they escape to the big island, they will die of cold and hunger. What's more, all the parents and wives of these alchemists stayed in the capital. If they escaped alone, these relatives who stayed in the capital would be tortured and killed by Qin Shihuang. Therefore, Xu Fu boldly asked a few alchemists to explore the way for him, without worrying about them There are other plans.

"Several alchemists and a team of Qin soldiers left the capital of the Qin State, headed eastward all the way, boarded a large ship at the border of Shandong, and sailed straight to the east. These alchemists were good at playing tricks, and discussed various conspiracies with Xu Fu before setting off. After the big ship left the shore, not to mention the turbulent sea, there was still heavy fog from time to time. Whenever the fog cleared, several alchemists shouted loudly, not saying that there were strange fish in the sea pounced on the big ship, but that there were monsters riding in the sky. The big bird was about to rush onto the big boat and eat people. The Qin army general who escorted the alchemists didn't know what to do. He couldn't even recognize the direction in the fog. , then opened their bows and arrows, coped with it for a while, and heard a few alchemists say that the strange fish was shot away like a hedgehog, and the monsters in the air were also scared away. The soldiers were terrified, no one wanted to drift on the sea anymore, they just wanted to turn the bow of the boat and escape back to the shore.

"Several alchemists were terrified when they saw the generals of the Qin army, and they were in their arms. On a dark and windy night, an alchemist put on a strange clothes that he had prepared before boarding the ship, with a human skin mask on his face, and performed lightness kung fu. On the mast, it looks like a fairy. The other alchemists yelled on the deck, saying that when the fairy comes, everyone must bow down. The generals of the Qin army saw the fake fairy standing on the mast several feet high. Floating with the wind is definitely beyond what the world can do, and being confused by the yelling of several alchemists, naturally they would not doubt his identity, and knelt on the deck one after another, not even daring to lift their heads.

"Standing on the top of the mast, the false god said to everyone with his voice squeezed, I am a fairy from the three islands of Penglai. I heard that a real person came to the world in Middle Earth and ruled all the people. Ask for the immortal medicine, I already know. It’s just that the immortal medicine should not be paid lightly. It would be rude to come here in a hurry. After returning to the Middle Earth, tell your lord that you must prepare all the blood sacrifices, and three thousand virgins three times. Thousands of virgins and immortals listen to it before they can get the fairy medicine. Remember, remember.

"The generals and soldiers of the Qin Army were terrified when they heard the words of the false gods. They fell on the ground and did not even dare to lift their heads. After a long time after the false gods had finished speaking, everyone looked up tremblingly. The top of the mast was empty. Where are the shadows of the gods? Several alchemists took the opportunity to shout loudly, let's kowtow more, and send the immortals back! The soldiers didn't know what it was, so they saw a few alchemists pretending to kowtow, so they also kowtowed like the alchemists Let's start. In the chaos, the generals of the Qin Army didn't even notice that there was one alchemist missing.

"Several alchemists invited the leaders of the Qin army to the cabin that night, planning to discuss what to do next. After the leaders of the Qin army went out to sea, because the alchemists were pretending to be ghosts, they were already frightened and restless, so they didn't wait for the alchemists to speak. , he preemptively said, just now the immortal has said that you must prepare blood sacrifices, and then bring three thousand virgins and three thousand virgins to be driven by the immortal before you can climb the fairy mountain and see the immortal. We came empty-handed, the immortal thought We have no sincerity, so naturally we are not willing to give away elixir. Why don't we turn the bow of the boat back to the shore, rush all the way back to the capital, report this matter to the emperor, and let the emperor decide!

"Several alchemists originally planned to pretend to be gods and ghosts, and asked Qin Shihuang for something through the mouth of the gods. Seeing that the leader of the Qin army said this first, they were overjoyed and nodded in agreement. The leader of the Qin army immediately ordered to turn the bow. Hurry back to the shore as soon as possible, then turn back to the capital, and report to Qin Shihuang about the encounter with the immortal. After everyone returned to the capital, Qin Shihuang immediately summoned several alchemists and Qin army leaders to ask if they had found the immortal and asked for the immortal medicine. Xu Fu had already contacted several The alchemists secretly negotiated. In order not to make Qin Shihuang jealous, several alchemists were asked to keep their mouths shut as much as possible, and only let the leaders of the Qin army who were traveling with them report to Qin Shihuang. This was because Qin Shihuang was mean and jealous, and the other alchemists were not at ease. Everything is narrated by the alchemist, he must have doubts in his heart, and things will be a little tricky. The leader of the Qin army who is traveling with him clearly leads troops to protect the alchemists. In fact, he is a secret envoy sent by Qin Shihuang to monitor all the alchemists. The course of the trip, Qin Shihuang will definitely not doubt it. Therefore, when Qin Shihuang opened his mouth to ask questions, several alchemists were silent. The leader of the Qin army respectfully explained the process of going to sea this time, especially those who met at sea. The story of the immortal was vivid and vivid, and he described the appearance of the strange fish in the sea and the monsters in the sky in an extremely terrifying way, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. He said that the strange fish was tens of feet long and appeared and disappeared like a small mountain , the monsters in the sky were even more terrifying, and almost covered the sky when they appeared. Thanks to him commanding the soldiers to open their bows and arrows, and relying on the protection of the emperor's power, they finally shot back the monster fish and monsters, so that they could meet the immortals.
