The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 124 The Harm of the Warlock
I have to admit that sometimes Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's domineering and revealing temperament was very charming.

But sometimes his superstitious alchemist etched in his bones makes you want to go up and punch him.

Of course, Wei Ning doesn't have the courage. It is estimated that there is no such brave person in the entire Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said to Wei Ning: "Do you still remember the stone statue of Taiyi Zhenjun that I took you to see the day before yesterday?"

“It’s growing and really starting to break through the ground!”

Yesterday Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked the imperial army to secretly monitor Li Shaoweng's every move.

Although he was superstitious about alchemists, he was also afraid of being deceived. However, early this morning, the Forbidden Army went to measure the height of the stone statue again, and was surprised to find that the stone statue had really begun to break out of the ground on its own.

Has grown tall!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not believe that stone statues could grow without any external help.

Doesn't this mean that Mr. Li really has the ability to communicate with gods?
Judging from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's reaction, he must have really believed that Li Shaoweng was a god.

It is conceivable that after today, Li Shaoweng will become famous.

If you wanted to stand out in the Han Dynasty, you had three possibilities: joining the army, being recommended, or becoming an alchemist.

But the requirements for alchemists are relatively strict. You must at least have extraordinary psychological quality, be good at deception, and know some deceptive tricks that are difficult for others to understand.

Wei Ning didn't know how to persuade Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not to be superstitious. As long as he didn't eat the gold, stone, elixirs and other things given to him by the alchemists, he could do whatever he wanted.

Having faith is not a bad thing.

Wei Ning nodded, casually cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to your Majesty for getting this immortal."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "I will take you to find immortals."

Wei Ning refused: "Your Majesty, I still want to read a book, so I won't go."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not force Weining this time and left alone with his hands behind his back.

……

Chang'an, inside Li Shaoweng's residence.

Li Shaoweng invited Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to sit in the middle hall and make tea for him.

Tea has appeared in China since the Qin Dynasty. During the Qin Shi Huang period, the widow Qing transported tea from Bashu to the palace and earned high profits.

In the Han Dynasty, Chang'an and other Guanzhong areas, tea tasting became more and more popular among the upper classes.

The process of making tea in the Han Dynasty was more complicated and different from what was common in later generations. Not only tea leaves were put in, but also oil, salt, ginger and other condiments were put in to cook.

The two sat cross-legged, making tea and discussing Taoism, chatting from early morning to sunset. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became more and more fond of Li Shaoweng, and specially ordered him to be granted the title of General Tianwei, with a salary of [-] acres!

This is undoubtedly not an extremely ironic thing. An alchemist can easily win this honor, but many soldiers who fought bloody battles in northern Xinjiang cannot ask for it.

"Your Majesty wants to live forever?"

Li Shaoweng finally came to his senses and said what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was most concerned about.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was extremely excited: "Do you have this idea?"

Li Shaoweng stroked his beard and said, "I have this recipe, but I need a thousand boys and girls to help me refine the elixir."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment and said with a cold face: "Using boys and girls as medicine?"

Li Shaoweng said calmly: "This is too cruel and is a witchcraft. I am only asking his accomplices to add fuel to the fire, but I will not take his life."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was relieved, and he assured Li Shaoweng: "This is not a difficult matter, I will answer it for you."

Li Shaoweng clasped his fists: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

……

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left Li Shaoweng's mansion, Li Shaoweng went out and came to Longluhou Mansion secretly.

Li Shaoweng found Chen Xi and changed his attitude of having an equal conversation with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He showed an extremely humble attitude, bowed to Chen Xi and said: "I see you, Lord Marquis."

He told Chen Xi everything about what happened with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the past two days.

Chen Xi looked at him lightly and said, "Okay, he is already General Tianwei, which is great."

Li Shaoweng hurriedly said: "The Marquis has broken the villain, the villain dare not." He was secretly recommended to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty by Chen Xi. It was okay to deceive Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with a few kilograms and a few taels, but he could not deceive Chen Xi.

As long as Chen Xiang thinks about it, he can immediately expose Li Shaoweng and make him die without a place to die.

"Do you still remember what I did to support you?"

"Have you forgotten what I said?"

"I asked you to deal with Weining. What did you tell the emperor about immortality?"

Chen Xi stared at him dissatisfied.

Li Shaoweng said hurriedly: "Go back to the Marquis, I will always keep this in mind."

"The villain already recognizes Weining."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took Wei Ning to him the day before yesterday, so he naturally knew Weining.

The reason why he is not in a hurry to deal with Weining now is that he must first gain the trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Only after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had full confidence in him could he start to deal with Weining.

After Li Shaoweng informed Chen Xi of these things, Chen Xi nodded with satisfaction.

"No matter what, let him die! This is a big deal and it must be done."

Li Shaoweng didn't understand why Chen Yu wanted the young man next to Tianzi to die, but it didn't matter.

As long as it makes him prosperous, it doesn't matter who dies.

He was originally a farmer in Yunzhong County. After a drought in Yunzhong, he wandered all the way to Guanzhong. Because of his eloquence, he finally pretended to be an alchemist.

With his ability to deceive, he was eventually spotted by Chen Zhuang, Chen Zhuang's adopted son, who then gave him this time of great wealth.

The opportunity was rare and he had to seize it.

So what if a young man dies?If you are not related to him, just die.

Li Shaoweng was very confident in himself. As long as he could make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty trust him and rely on his words, it would not be difficult for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to kill the young man.

……

In the past two days, Weining began to build the station network.

He asked Zhao Ce to invite Uncle Li to Chang'an. The construction of the post station required many connections.

Lao Li also recommended his old subordinates to Weining. They all went to northern Xinjiang to join the army and fight together. Weining could trust them.

When Weining told Zhao Ce all the ideas about the post station, Zhao Ce began to make the preliminary layout of Guanzhong according to Weining's wishes.

This will take a long time and cannot be accomplished overnight, and Weining is not in a hurry.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, it was almost the New Year's Eve. This year he promised Wei Qing to go to Wei Mansion to celebrate the New Year.

After he finished arranging the matters at the Chang'an Grand Concubine's Mansion, he took Zhao Ce out to Chang'an Street to check out the sales of the wine shops.

On the way back, Wei Ning frowned slightly. An inconspicuous thing on the street caught Wei Ning's attention.

A yellow-horned child was walking happily on the road when he was caught by several forbidden soldiers.

The child's parents cried and begged the imperial guards not to arrest him, their eyes filled with despair and tears of pain.

Especially the old woman mother, crying heartbreakingly and begging hard.

Weining couldn't bear to see such a scene, and he thought of his mother emotionally. How heartbroken a mother would be if she saw her child being taken away under her nose.

He walked towards the imperial army and said indifferently: "What crime has this child committed?"

The Imperial Guard had a displeased look on his face, and if the common people on the streets dared to stop the Imperial Guard from doing their business, the consequences would naturally not be good.

However, when Zhao Ce informed the other party of Wei Ning's identity, the Imperial Guards who had been aloof just now immediately bowed their knees and said: "For this humble position, please see the Chief of the Imperial Concubine Wei!"

　I recommend a book. The protagonist robbed my fiancée and I stole his house. It was a very enjoyable fantasy novel. I stayed up late to read it yesterday!
