Chapter 5 Iron-Headed Calabash Brothers
"Cough cough cough!"
Just as Ying Zheng wanted to speak, he coughed violently and spit out bloody phlegm.
He coughed for a while before he stopped.
"Your Majesty, are you sick?" Chen Qilin frowned and asked knowingly.
He knew that the First Emperor was actually as sick as he is today because he swallowed a large amount of the so-called "elixir" provided by Xu Fu and other alchemists, absorbed too many heavy metals and other toxic substances, and had a lung infection.
"Sir, this is an old problem of mine. The medical officer is not convinced, and even taking the immortal master's golden elixir has no effect. Now it is getting worse and worse!"
Ying Zheng sighed leisurely.
His health was deteriorating, leaving him helpless.
I have the ambition to reach heaven, but my body is too stretched.
"Your Majesty, let me do the math!" Chen Qilin deliberately pinched his fingers to tell fortunes.
In fact, I looked at the system panel to understand the situation...
Ying Zheng nodded: "Thank you sir!"
Then, he looked at the master of Tiandao with hope, hoping that the other party could find the cause of the disease and then prescribe the right medicine to cure the strange disease.
Soon, the smile on Chen Qilin's face disappeared.
"Sir?" Ying Zheng had a bad feeling in his heart.
Chen Qilin said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the cause of your illness is due to overwork and overwork. But if it has developed to this serious level today, it is because you have taken too much poison. If you continue to take poison, you will not recover for a few years." live!"
"What?"
Ying Zheng stood up and said, "Unexpectedly, someone poisoned me?"
"Sir, who is so bold as to poison Your Majesty? I'm going to kill him!" Wang Ben stood up suddenly, holding the sword tightly, and said with anger on his face.
Chen Qilin said: "It's Xu Fu and other alchemists!"
"This is impossible!" Ying Zheng waved his hands and said: "Master Xu Fu helped me seek immortality. In order to find the elixir of immortality and offer it to me, he risked his life and went to sea. How could he poison me?"
"Please live forever!"
Seeing that Ying Zheng was stubborn, Chen Qilin sneered: "Xu Fu and other alchemists are all liars. If they hadn't fed you poison every day, your body wouldn't be in such a condition!"
"Feed poison..." Ying Zheng frowned.
Chen Qilin said: "The so-called golden elixir refined by Xu Fu and the others contains a variety of poisonous substances. Although it will not cause death immediately if eaten, the toxicity will continue to accumulate in the body. If you take the poison one by one every three to five, you will not die in the long run." That’s weird!”
Ying Zheng's face turned ugly.
Those golden elixirs are poison...
Xu Fu is a liar...
For a moment, Ying Zheng couldn't accept it!
Wang Bi heard that the unhappiness caused by Chen Qilin's "taking" of gold and silver jewelry disappeared without a trace. He admired Chen Qilin very much!
Because Chen Qilin said what he had always wanted to say but didn't dare to say.
Touched Ying Zheng's reverse scale!
Chen Qilin’s head is really strong!
Wang Ben and other court officials had long disliked Xu Fu's group of alchemists, who had made the court a mess. The so-called way to immortality was simply a big lie.
Wang Ben and other officials also wanted to persuade Qin Shihuang.
But Qin Shihuang was so obsessed with the way to immortality that he went crazy...
Anyone who advises Qin Shihuang to give up the path to immortality is seeking death.
Wang Ben is not an iron-headed gourd boy, so naturally he will not make unnecessary sacrifices!
Chen Qilin has the strong backing of Tiandao Tower, so he is not afraid of anyone or any force. He can say whatever he wants.
It doesn’t matter whether you are Qin Shihuang or not.
"Sir, is what you said true?" Ying Zheng asked unwillingly.
Chen Qilin said: "Your Majesty, after taking the golden elixir, do you feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, coughing, and sometimes blood in the stool every time?"
"Sir, that's it. Xu Fu told me that it was the golden elixir that forced the waste out of my body." Ying Zheng was quite shocked and said, "Sir, how do you know all this?"
Chen Qilin shook his head helplessly when he heard this.
Qin Shihuang is really a demon!
He can believe Xu Fu's lies!
The majestic emperor of the ages actually had such a mediocre side!
Chen Qilin said coldly: "Xu Fu farted, chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough, blood in the stool, etc. are all typical symptoms of poisoning!
Your Majesty, you are so obsessed with immortality that you even believe Xu Fu’s nonsense!
A liar used poison to kill His Majesty, but you actually allowed him to enjoy a high position and enjoy the glory and wealth...
Moreover, in the future, Xu Fu will take skilled craftsmen, boys and girls to the east to Fusang to become the emperor of the earth.
But you, Your Majesty, died suddenly due to poison, and the Qin Dynasty also fell apart! How pathetic! "
What Chen Qilin said is true. Historically, Ying Zheng died suddenly on a sand dune during his fifth patrol, and the famous Sand Dune Incident occurred.
Zhao Gao persuaded Li Si to help Hu Haiyue seize the throne. In the end, the Great Qin Empire II, which Qin Shi Huang had established with all his hard work and overcoming obstacles, died.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he remained silent and fell into a strange tranquility.
Xu Fu, I treat you well!
You are so rebellious, feeding me poison every once in a while! ! !
Damn it! ! !
Wang Ben glanced at Qin Shihuang and knew that His Majesty was extremely angry. Xu Fu and other alchemists were going to be in bad luck!
"Sir, can my illness be cured?" Ying Zheng took a deep breath and asked.
He still has too many unfulfilled wishes, and he doesn’t want to die early!
Chen Qilin nodded: "Your Majesty, you are lucky to have met me, otherwise you would be so sick that it would be difficult for a god to save you. But, you know... I am a businessman!"
Ying Zheng naturally understood what Chen Qilin meant, which was to ask for money.
However, as long as the other party can cure his disease, Ying Zheng is willing to pay any amount of money.
As his health deteriorates, Ying Zheng understands more and more how valuable life is!
Without a strong body, everything is in vain!
In addition, Ying Zheng also admires Chen Qilin's frankness and ability.
Ying Zheng said: "Wang Ben, go to my treasury immediately, prepare a generous gift, and send it to Tiandao Tower."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Ben took the order without any nonsense.
At this time, the meaty aroma of Dongpo pork wafted from the kitchen.
“It smells so good!”
Ying Zheng smelled the aroma of meat and couldn't help but swallowed.
He had never smelled such a special, mouth-watering aroma of meat.
Chen Qilin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's almost time for dinner, so you can stay and have a light meal!"
"Thank you sir, I will be disrespectful!" Ying Zheng swallowed his saliva and said.
Come to think of it, Master Tiandao must have made a delicious meal.
Naturally, Ying Zheng cannot miss it.
"Then you sit down for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen to take a look at the Dongpo pork. It's probably almost ready!" Chen Qilin said.
A big customer wants to send money to his door again, so he naturally wants to provide Ying Zheng with better service.
Qin Shihuang nodded: "Sir, go and do your work!"
He looked at Chen Qilin's handsome back, his eyes shining brightly.
This Tiandao poster is really a strange person!
Not only is he a scholar, he is straight-talking, he can predict the future, and he even cooks it himself!
soon.
Chen Qilin came out of the kitchen, carrying a large tray of dishes.
There are Dongpo pork, fish head and tofu soup, stir-fried green beans with dried prunes, kung pao chicken and stir-fried green vegetables with mushrooms. Four dishes and one soup are quite rich.
Ying Zheng's appetite whetted as he looked at the delicious dishes.
These dishes look much better than those cooked by the royal chefs in the palace.
At this time.
A big man with a heavy back and a heavy waist, carrying a treasure box, ran into Tiandao Tower with a bang, wrinkled his nose, and exclaimed:
"Smells! It smells so good!"
The person who came was none other than Tongwuhou Wang Bi, who had returned to the palace to collect money.
Chen Qilin glanced at Wang Bi and thought to himself: This guy is really fast, he must have been thinking about my Dongpo meat for a long time!
He beckoned and said: "Marquis Tongwu, please come over and have a casual meal together!"
Wang Ben is also a potential customer!
The Wang family is extremely rich.
Chen Qilin is ready to develop Wang Bi, and it is best to develop it with his father Wang Jian to maximize his profits!
