I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 184 Xiao Luoyang meets Ying Lou

"Li Xin, Zi'an, I order the two of you to lead 50,000 soldiers and escort Zhao Ji back to Xianyang within 20 days."

"Whoever captures Ying Qi alive will receive a reward of one million and a thousand acres of good farmland; whoever kills him will receive a reward of five hundred thousand and a hundred acres of good farmland; whoever cuts off one arm or one leg will receive a reward of one hundred thousand and a mansion in Xianyang."

After donating Wanli's national destiny, Ying Lou gained more and more say in the court.

Except for Lu Buwei, the assistant minister appointed by the previous king himself, almost no one dared to question the young King of Qin.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Li Xin and Zi'an both knelt on one knee at the same time, clasped their fists and shouted.

The sound surrounded the Qilin Hall and could not dissipate for a long time.

This time, the ministers did not know whether the King of Qin did it on purpose, and he actually issued the order on his own without going through the prime minister.

And the most important thing is that Li Xin and Zi'an agreed without any hesitation.

It seemed that Lu Buwei was skipped intentionally.

At this time, Lu Buwei on the other side just closed his eyes, twisting the amber beads in his hand and stroking his beard.

It looked like he had no intention of speaking.

Even his own followers were confused by this semi-acquiescing attitude.

"As for my personal expedition to Hangu Pass, I'll have to trouble the Prime Minister to prepare for it!"

Ying Lou, who was sitting high on the Black Water Dragon Chair, spoke again while everyone was still surprised.

"Yes, I can complete the provision of food, military pay, and garrisoning within forty days!"

Lu Buwei, who had been silent all this time, slowly opened his eyes and stopped playing with the amber beads in his hand after hearing Ying Lou's words.

Like Li Xin and Zi'an, he knelt on one knee to accept the king's order.

This time, the court meeting went quickly and smoothly.

In less than half an hour, Ying Lou had arranged everything.

Including the campaigns against Ying Qi and Zhao Ji, and the imperial expedition to Hangu Pass.

Even three months later, arrangements were made for the Meng army returning to Xianyang.

During the whole process, Lu Buwei just nodded occasionally and did not interfere with any decision of Ying Lou.

"General Li Xin, the king invites you to the Lanshu Tower!"

Down towards the back.

Zhao Gao took small steps to Li Xin's side and whispered in his ear.

"Okay, thank you, Eunuch Zhao, for delivering the message."

As one of Ying Lou's most trusted people, Li Xin agreed without even thinking about it.

After arriving at the Lanshu Building.

I saw that a table of small dishes and a pot of good wine had already been set up in the hall on the first floor.

The book keeper, Huo Lao, was sorting books on the fifth floor.

Ying Lou just started drinking by himself.

"Come, have a drink with me."

In the past, Ying Lou almost never drank alcohol, but now that his illness has healed, he likes to have a drink when he has nothing to do.

"My king, what is the matter that you have called me here for?"

Li Xin bowed first, then sat down cross-legged, picked up the already filled wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"I want you to bring two people with you to Yongcheng this time."

"Two people?"

"Jin Chan and Mu Xuan Zi!"

Mu Xuanzi is the young Taoist priest from Yuetan Mountain, but this is just his Taoist name. As for his real name, Mu Xuanzi seems unwilling to mention it.

"I obey my orders!"

"I haven't finished yet. This time when we go to Yongcheng, it would be best if Jin Chan could gain military merit. Then I plan to let him join your account and go to the front line of Hangu Pass together."

It is impossible for Jin Chan's body to keep him in the dark forever.

It would be better to take this opportunity to let Jin Chan gain military merit and then join Li Xin's army with full legitimacy.

In order to sweep across the six nations in the future, some necessary preparations should be made in advance.

of course.

This is just a temporary plan.

"As for that Mu Xuanzi, you should bring him my Qin Wang Sword and the 2,000-year-old golden nanmu coffin in the palace, and then send a dozen people in disguise to the Yuetan Mountain in Chu. Remember, the coffin must not be opened by anyone."

After this separation from Cheng Jiao, there is a high probability that we will never have the chance to meet again.

As for whether Cheng Jiao can finally transform his corpse into an immortal being, that all depends on fate.

"As ordered!"

Li Xin still looked the same and would never hesitate at all regarding Ying Lou's orders.

Even if he had to send the Qin King's sword "Lu Lu" which had been passed down for a thousand years and worn by successive Qin Kings to the territory of Chu, Li Xin would still not ask any more questions.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Ying Lou took a sip of the wine in the glass and spoke.

Three more days passed.

All the food, weapons and military pay needed to set out for Yongcheng have been prepared.

Jin Chan, Li Xin and Zi'an were wearing black armor of the Qin army and riding on horseback.

Mu Xuanzi, with a confused look on his face, was still wearing his blue and white Taoist robe.

He carried a blue sword case on his back.

"Donor, where are we going?"

Mu Xuanzi sat on the horse and asked Jin Chan, his only acquaintance.

These days, when Jin Chan learned that Mu Xuanzi was entering the world for the first time.

He decisively sent someone to take this country bumpkin from the mountains to experience the customs and culture of the Qin Dynasty.

By the way, I also went to "Yiren Building".

How could the unworldly Mu Xuanzi endure this whole set of fascinating processes?

But this guy is quite tight-lipped.

Even after drinking three or two cups of hot rice wine, he still didn't tell Jin Chan what he wanted to know.

"Don't you want the King of Qin to help you find someone?"

"This time when you go to Yongcheng, you will kill that evil Taoist priest. Once the King of Qin is happy, he will naturally issue a notice and ask all the Qin people to help you find the girl."

With the mentality of not wasting time if not using the talent, Jin Chan has no intention of letting go of this master from the orthodox Taoist sect.

It just so happens that this time I go to Yongcheng, I can ask Mu Xuanzi to help me deal with the old Taoist priest.

"But."

Mu Xuanzi was just about to say that time was running out, and if the girl was destined to be the empress, then everything would be in vain.

"Who is the King of Qin? He has dozens of brothers and sisters. You just helped him with a small favor. He won't specially summon you."

"But this trip to Yongcheng is different. We are here to quell a rebellion. If you perform a great deed, the King of Qin will have no reason to reject you!"

Perhaps it was because he had been with that guy Tang Qianyan for too long that Jin Chan had actually learned some of the essence of his misleading words and deeds.

"Well, then, eliminating the traitors from my sect is what I should do!"

After thinking about it, Mu Xuanzi found that what Jin Chan said made sense, so he simply nodded in agreement.

The army sets out.

According to the progress, we will be able to reach Yongcheng in seven days at most.

And the Afang Palace at this time.

Little Luoyang was in the Lanshu Building, eating snacks and reading books with great interest.

It's different from the way ordinary people read books.

Little Luoyang not only reads ten lines at a glance and has a photographic memory, but he can even draw inferences about other situations by analogy.

Although the elderly Huo liked Xiao Luoyang, a clever girl, very much, he was still confused by her questions these days.

"Little girl, I'm just a janitor. I don't know the answers to your questions!"

After flipping through most of the books in Lanshulou, Mr. Huo was already sweating profusely.

"Grandpa Huo, you said that Confucianism knows that benevolence and etiquette cannot be the basis of governing a country, but why do they still promote them so vigorously? In this era of constant war, these are simply not desirable practices!"

"Also, aren't the laws of Qin too harsh? Why can't the king's strategy for governing the country combine the strengths of Confucianism and Legalism into a new strategy for governing the country?"

Xiao Luoyang had only been here for three days, but he had already read half of the Confucian and legal books.

Faced with this series of questions, Mr. Huo could only smile awkwardly and wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"By the way, the king will come over personally tonight. You might as well go to bed early, little girl. You can have a good chat with the king in the evening!"

"Our king is very knowledgeable and will be able to answer all your questions."

Gudong.

Old Huo swallowed his saliva and pushed all the problems onto Ying Lou.

"The King of Qin?"

"Grandpa Huo, do you think I need to prepare anything in advance?"

Although little Luoyang knew that his older brother had a close relationship with the King of Qin.

But when he heard that he was going to meet the King of Qin, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"No, no, just be polite!"

Huo Lao said quickly.
