The tyrant took me to make him immortal

The Imperial Palace.

Pure heart outside.

Situ Lei, the military minister, walked slowly in all directions, but was stopped by Eunuch Shi when he was still far from the door.

"Oh, General Situ, long time no see, your complexion is getting better!" Eunuch Shi greeted politely.

Situ Lei's sturdy and burly figure, coupled with his tanned old face, made him a Lianjiazi at a glance, he was full of doubts at the moment, and asked Eunuch Shi: "Eunuch, I don't know why the emperor summoned me today? "

Eunuch Shi smiled slyly, and said with a sloppy look, "You and I can guess what the emperor thinks at will."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the door of Jingxin Chamber, "The emperor is meditating inside and practicing. When the time comes, the emperor will naturally call the general to go in, and we will know when the time comes."

On the way Situ Lei came here, he thought about all the possibilities, because in recent years, there has been no war in the country, and they, the military officials, usually have nothing to do except for training, so the emperor has gradually neglected the military officials and rarely summoned them. Wu Chen came to the palace to meet.

In particular, the place of summoning this time is still the Emperor's Jingxin Chamber, which is the place where Emperor Zhengxi used to practice the art of longevity. Could it be that the summoning of him is related to longevity?
Thinking about it carefully, Situ Lei felt chills running down his back. He was afraid that there was no return, and he hadn't explained the funeral to his wife at home!

"Grandpa Shi, I'm waiting for a rough man. It's okay to stand and wait for a while, but Mr. Shi is waiting outside," Situ Lei said, covering it with his sleeve, and stuffed Mr. Shi with a heavy purse. "Grandpa, please drink tea. A little heart is not a respect, father-in-law don't blame it!"

Eunuch Shi, who received the money bag, smiled brighter, "You are welcome, General!"

"Eunuch Shi has been serving the emperor since he was a child, and the relationship with the emperor is not comparable to that of us civil and military ministers. Naturally, the emperor's heart can be understood without saying too much! Hey, what kind of longevity has the emperor learned recently? "

Going around, Situ Lei just wanted to know why the emperor asked him to come. If it was a military situation, he naturally had nothing to fear. He wished to make contributions to the country, and in his lifetime, he could add a new chapter to the clan. pen glory.

But if it's about longevity, he can't help much as a military official, and probably only his spirit and body can be used for one or two purposes.

I'm afraid that the emperor sent him here to absorb his energy and live forever.

Eunuch Shi squinted his eyes and said: "General Situ, don't worry too much. Although some alchemists offered to drink the blood of military officials to nourish Qi, the emperor was wise and never adopted it. He also ordered someone to beat the alchemist thirty times. Throw it out of the imperial city, and never hire it!"

"Oh!" Situ Lei felt relieved, "Then... when the emperor summoned me, do you still remember the tone of the emperor? Was it happy or angry?"

"Well..." Eunuch Shi pursed his lips and shook his head, "The emperor's life-extending pills are getting less and less, and the furnace has not been refined yet. This is really worrying!"

Situ Lei immediately realized the message sent by Eunuch Shi, and the emperor asked him about the longevity pill.

"I remember that the refinement of Longevity Pill requires time travelers, and the matter of catching time travelers is not in my control."

"There are still a lot of transmigrators imprisoned in the prison," said Eunuch Shi, "it's just that this alchemy man can't be found for a while!"

It was only then that Situ Lei remembered that Zhang Guzi, the Taoist alchemist, was dead. He seldom cared about these Taoist alchemists, and he knew nothing about the art of longevity.

The emperor looked for him, probably not to ask him to refine longevity pills!

Seeing that Situ Lei was really heavy-headed, Eunuch Shi said to him: "The emperor sent wizard Jiamu to Laozi Shu Dao Mountain to look for Daoist Taixu. He has been there for some days, and no news has come back."

"Master Taixu? Is he the legendary closed disciple of the Haotian School?"

Even if Situ Lei is no longer interested in the matter of immortality, he has heard of the Haotian School. This is a sect that cultivates immortality. The suzerain Yuan Haotian left the immortality elixir in the world, but no one has found the elixir whereabouts.

"That's right, there are rumors in the market that Master Taixu has ascended to immortality a few years ago, and we don't know if it's true or not."

Situ Lei understood, "Does the Emperor want me to find Master Taixu?"

"Then what the emperor thinks, our family doesn't know!" Eunuch Shi narrowed his eyes and smiled, holding his hands respectfully, took a step back, and asked the general to wait.

Standing at the door of the clean heart room, they can no longer talk, and if they disturb Emperor Zhengxi who is practicing inside, they will all die!

When the sun was setting and the lights were turned on in the palace, the door of the Jingxin Room suddenly opened. This was not blown open by the wind, but a signal from Emperor Zhengxi to allow Situ Lei to enter.

Eunuch Shi made a gesture of invitation to Situ Lei, with a urging look on his face, the emperor would be angry if he went in late.

Situ Lei walked in with skeptical steps, but just took two steps and stood still, the door closed by itself.

The candles in the Jingxin room were gradually lit up, Emperor Zhengxi was wearing a white gauze, and came out from behind the throne barefoot. When he sat down, his chest was still rising and falling vaguely and irregularly.

"Your Majesty," Situ Lei hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "My minister, Situ Lei, sees the Emperor! Your Majesty will last forever!"

Emperor Zhengxi's cultivation today is not going well, and his breath will always be blocked somewhere, which makes him a little annoyed.

"Get up, do you know why I called you here?"

Situ Lei stood up tremblingly, hesitating again and again, but still replied: "Well... I'm sorry for my incompetence, I don't know."

"Situ Lei, you are an old man in the court!" Emperor Zheng Xi spoke while sitting upright, "I used to fight with you on the battlefield and killed millions of enemies!"

At that time, Emperor Zhengxi and Situ Lei were still young, but now decades later, Emperor Zhengxi is still as young as before, but Situ Lei is already wrinkled and graying.

"The scene where the emperor led the veterans to kill the enemy in the battlefield, I can still dream of it often!" Situ Lei really misses that time, and when he thinks about it, his eyes are full of nostalgia.

"I understand your disposition, the country is stable these days, you must be bored!"

Situ Lei fell to his knees when he heard the words, tears welling up in his eyes, "Your Majesty, thanks to His Majesty's concern, this veteran is grateful for His kindness! The peace of the country depends on the Emperor's good governance, and this veteran is a warrior who only knows how to mount a horse and kill the enemy. There’s nothing I can do about it, I’m really ashamed!”

"I know," Emperor Zhengxi knew that he was good at killing the enemy, "you are the only ministers who followed me in the conquest, and now you are the only one left. I will give you another chance to make meritorious deeds, do you want it?"

The ministers who fought together in those years either died of illness or were too old to get out of bed. Only Situ Lei was still in good health, and he was always holding back his energy.

Situ Lei bowed his head and said: "But according to the emperor's order, I will never give up!"

"Okay!" Emperor Zhengxi stood up, the tulle on his shoulders slipped off, and the muscle texture was clearly visible, "I will give you 50 elite soldiers, you go and catch Jiang Yingying back!"

Situ Lei's eyes lit up when he heard that he was leading the army, but when he heard that it was just to catch a woman, his eyes dimmed again.

"Sir, take orders!"
