Chapter 107: The Qin Empire's Capital, Xianyang
"The Wei River flows through the south, and the Mount Wei stretches to the north. The mountains and rivers are all sunny, so it is called Xianyang."
A magnificent, ancient and heavy palace stands quietly on the land of Xianyang. This palace looks up to the sky and loves the palace, with winding corridors and high eaves. There is a building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps. Two rivers flow into the palace wall. This is the Afang Palace built in the royal garden Shanglinyuan, which was built by recruiting 700,000 civilians and gathering the elite and elegant palace architecture of several countries in the world.
Looking at the towering city wall in front of them, no one is not shocked by it. This is the great crystallization of mankind. A simple and solemn atmosphere comes to the face, and the sound of fighting seems to ring in the ears. How many dreams have been buried in this city.
"Woo..."
Just when Su Yu and others' convoy was still some distance away from the city gate, the sound of the horn sounded at the city gate.
The sound was loud and long. This was not the high-pitched sound during the attack, but the etiquette when welcoming the princes and emperors back to the capital.
A horse galloped towards this side.
"It's Fusu who's here." Wuming said.
Riding alone and lightly, this is to prove that he has no hostility to the visitor, to express a kind of trust, and also to show his attitude to the Confucianists and others. Seeing this, Fu Nian smiled.
"Thank you for your hard work." Fusu jumped off his horse and said.
"Hello, young master." Fu Nian and others also saluted.
When Fusu saw Su Yu, his face suddenly showed joy, and he hurried forward.
"Hello, Su Zi, it's great that you're here too." Fusu bowed his hands.
"How can I not give face to Fu Su's invitation." Su Yu smiled.
"Su Zi is joking, I don't dare to accept it." Fusu said hurriedly.
"Everyone, follow me into the city quickly, my father has arranged a place to stay." Fusu continued.
"Okay." Su Yu nodded.
Then the convoy followed Fusu to the city gate. When they got closer, they found that there were many officials and some Confucian disciples from Xianyang waiting here.
"We welcome Su Zi." Everyone saluted together. I think Su Yu's name has already spread to Xianyang.
Su Yu smiled and greeted everyone in the carriage. This approachable scene made the people watching the excitement around feel incredible. In their impression, the higher the status, the more superior, but this person is different.
"Su Zi, please." Fusu made a gesture on the horse. Then Su Yu's carriage entered the city gate first.
The street was very wide, 30 meters wide, which was extremely rare in this world. There were shops and buildings on both sides, layered, but very orderly. It seemed that the designer should be a master-level figure.
There were countless soldiers on both sides of the street. The carriage continued to drive, and soon it turned a street and came to a huge mansion.
Fusu dismounted and came to Su Yu, pointing to the mansion and said.
"Su Zi, this is the best courtyard in Xianyang City, and it is also the home of Lu Buwei, the former prime minister of the empire. I hope you don't dislike it." Fusu said.
"Oh? Lu Buwei's home? It must be good." Su Yu said and stepped forward.
Ah Qing and others hurriedly followed behind him.
"Master, please." Fusu turned around and said to Fu Nian and others.
Yue Shen took a carriage back to the Yin Yang Family's residence, but Xiao Meng followed him into the mansion.
At this moment, two mysterious people were watching this scene through the window of a restaurant not far from Lu's Mansion.
"Is that person Su Zi? He doesn't look special."
"Xiao Zhuang, don't underestimate anyone. To be so trusted by Confucianism, there must be something extraordinary. Underestimating the enemy when you don't know the other party is the beginning of failure." Another person said.
"Brother, you are still so cautious. Don't forget that you are a sword saint."
These two people are Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, disciples of the Zongheng Family. Now Wei Zhuang is the leader of Liusha, and Gai Nie represents the Zongheng School. The two sneaked back to Xianyang one day before Su Yu and others.
"Zifang, Gao Jianli, what do you want to do?" Gai Nie sighed as he looked at the backs of the few people.
"Why ask again? The matter in Chu must be because of the betrayal of the two of them. Now the Xiang family, the Ren clan and some of the various schools of thought want to get rid of them." Wei Zhuang said coldly.
"Absolutely impossible. I know them. Maybe they will leave because of different ideas, but they will never betray their companions. There must be something fishy about this matter." Gai Nie said.
"Okay, now you have seen them with Fusu with your own eyes, and you still trust them so much. Brother, I will never give up. I hope you will not interfere next." Wei Zhuang turned and left.
Gai Nie didn't know what to say about his brother's anger. He just felt exhausted physically and mentally, and was burdened with countless burdens.
After Su Yu entered the door, when no one was paying attention, he looked back and saw that the direction was the restaurant where Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were.
"Gai Nie, interesting. I hope you don't do stupid things again." Su Yu said secretly. Then he didn't care and continued to walk with Fusu.
At the same time, Xianyang Palace.
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng was dealing with memorials, Zhang Han came to report that Su Yu and others had entered the city, and Fusu arranged them in Lu's mansion.
Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hand and pondered for a moment.
"Send someone to protect them, and don't let anyone disturb them. I will visit them in person in two days." Ying Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, you want to go in person? This is not appropriate, just summon them to the palace." Zhang Han said hurriedly.
Ying Zheng shook his hand and said.
"You don't understand, this Su Zi is not as simple as you see, take a look at this." After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he threw a few letters to Zhang Han.
Zhang Han opened it quickly and then his face changed drastically, with an unbelievable look.
"This... this..." Zhang Han stuttered and couldn't speak.
"Yes, this is sent from the distant Sui Dynasty. I and the Emperor of Sui have been communicating with each other in secret over the years. This was sent by hawk a few days ago." Ying Zheng said.
"So that's it, Your Majesty. Is this person really as magical as he said in it?" Zhang Han asked.
"You have followed me for decades, you should know what I want?" Ying Zheng asked.
Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"I have been looking for immortals and gods, in order to gain immortality, so that the empire will be glorious forever. Now there is such a person who is suspected of being an immortal god. Why can't I lower my posture and visit him?" Ying Zheng said.
"Yes, I know, I will go down and arrange it now." Zhang Han said.
After Zhang Han left, Ying Zheng reopened the letter.
"Su Zi, Emperor, Shen Yu? What is your origin? I hope you don't disappoint me." Ying Zheng sighed.
"Ding..."
Just as Su Yu entered the yard, a familiar system prompt sounded in his mind. However, there were many people at this time, so he didn't care.
"Su Zi, you all rest here for the next few days. The emperor will summon you soon. Please forgive me." Fusu said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Master." Fu Nian hurriedly said politely.
"Hey, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry." Ah Qing said to Fusu.
Fusu was stunned, and then hurriedly said.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's ready, just inside." Fusu pointed to a pavilion, where the meal was.
"You, you only know how to eat." Jiang Ni rubbed Ah Qing's head.
"Hehe..." Ah Qing smiled.
"Okay, you go, I'm not hungry. I have something to think about." Su Yu said.
Although everyone was a little confused, they didn't ask much, and then Su Yu went into the room prepared for him.
"System." Su Yu shouted as soon as he entered the room.
"Host, I'm here." The system responded immediately.
"Is there a new task or a reward?" Su Yu, who was familiar with the system routine, asked hurriedly.
"Replying to the host, it is a hidden task reward."
"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task. The task status has been completed for the first time in Daqin. The task reward will be randomly drawn once." The system continued.
"A random draw again." Su Yu said. This kind of draw is very unreliable. He still likes the kind of draw with a target, such as characters, or special categories, and martial arts categories.
"Well, it's free anyway, let's start drawing." Su Yu said.
The familiar turntable appeared again, but this time the turntable has changed. Unlike the simple and plain turntable in the past, this time the turntable is decorated with various patterns, shining and looking very exquisite.
"Huh? Why did the turntable change?" Su Yu asked.
"Host, the turntable can be upgraded. When the number of tasks and draws reaches a certain level, the draw turntable will automatically upgrade." The system said.
"Hey, there is this thing, so what you mean is that there are more good things after the turntable is upgraded?" Su Yu asked.
"Replying to the host, no, the rewards are the same as before, and it all depends on the host to draw, but the probability of drawing the best rewards will be increased." The system said.
"Improvement is also a good thing. How much has it increased?" Su Yu asked.
"It has increased by one percent." The system said.
"..." Su Yu suddenly felt bored. After a long time of fancy tricks, it only increased this little bit. What's the difference.
"Stop." Instead of believing in the increase in probability, Su Yu thinks luck is the most important.
Then a card appeared in front of Su Yu, and the card showed a peach tree full of fruits.
Su Yu's heart was beating fast at this moment.
"Is it so awesome? I can't play like this. Such a good reward is given all at once, the peach tree in the Peach Garden." Su Yu said.
"System, is this three thousand years or six thousand years old?" Su Yu asked hurriedly.
"Neither." The system replied.
"Ninety-nine... nine thousand years." Su Yu said.
"Neither."
"..."
"What do you mean?" Su Yu suddenly felt something strange.
"Please check it yourself." The system said.
"Damn, don't tell me this is a peach tree that's everywhere." Su Yu took the card and clicked it.
"Peach tree (fake), blooms once every thirty years, bears fruit once every thirty years, matures in thirty years, and bears ninety-nine fruits at a time. Taking it can increase your lifespan by fifty years. A person can take up to two, and the effect of the second one will be half."
"I give up, this peach tree turned out to be a pirated one." Su Yu said with some disappointment.
