Chapter 1256 Drinking with the Emperor
There is no doubt that war is cruel.
At the first stage, Li Xiao felt the brutality of the war. Under the sky covered by dark clouds, corpses were densely packed like ants, everywhere. One soldier after another stood up, and one soldier after another fell down.
A dynasty built of blood.
At the second level, he saw two generals fighting, and the fight turned the mountains and rivers upside down, and the mountains collapsed. They are very strong. If they were born now, they must be geniuses. They will shine brilliantly. Born in the era of war, But it became a dead bone on the battlefield, and the two eventually died together.
The third stage, the fourth stage...
Along the way, Li Xiao seemed to have experienced a hundred years of war. His heart was shocked. The Great Qin of Kyushu existed for thousands of years and fought for thousands of years before unifying Zhongzhou. Under this great unity, there are endless bones.
The road to unification built by countless soldiers with their own lives is very shocking.
Not only was there the war in Kyushu, but Li Xiao also saw some familiar scenes, that was the earth two thousand years ago, and people who were famous through the ages appeared in front of him.
Bai Qi, God of Killing, Meng Tian, God of War, Prime Minister Li Si, Eunuch Zhao Gao, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Shang Yang...
The characters who have been famous on the earth for thousands of years seem to have come to life. Their heroic figures are on the battlefield and in the court, and they have dedicated themselves to the great unification until they die.
Whether it is treachery or loyalty, no matter what the final outcome is, they have fought side by side with the first emperor, and they have been recorded on this step to show their achievements to the world.
Li Xiao walked up the steps step by step, Wen Wucheng below looked up at his back, and there was a trace of undisguised envy in the old eyes of the two.
"It's been five hundred years. The last time he enjoyed this kind of treatment was that old guy riding a green bull." Prime Minister Wen stroked his beard and sighed leisurely.
"Yes, time is really fast. Do the math. The gate of the Palace of the First Emperor has not been opened for more than 500 years. The Great Qin Dynasty has been established for a thousand years, and no one has ever received such treatment at such a young age." Kong Shengwu also admired , "This boy, his background is not simple."
"You and I can't envy you." Prime Minister Wen laughed and said, "How many people in the world can understand the temperament of the king. Maybe he values Li Yan Wang very much. After all, he is called a young hero and dares to call everyone People of the Holy Land."
"Fortunately, you and I handed over the bronze token to His Majesty, otherwise... the consequences would be unpredictable."
The two were glad that they hadn't made a wrong choice. In fact, as semi-saints and prime ministers, they were not only powerful, but also as cunning as old foxes. It was impossible for them to make the wrong choice in such a situation.
Watching Li Xiao go up the last step, the two of them quietly exited the area with a wave of their hands. At the same time as they left, a purple light curtain descended from the sky, covering the entire Hall of the First Emperor, and the waves of powerful saints permeated it. palpitations.
This is an enchantment, with this enchantment, no one can detect everything in the Palace of the First Emperor.
...
Standing in front of the main hall door, Li Xiao sorted out his thoughts, and immediately without any hesitation, he jumped into the spacious hall with one step. As soon as he entered, he saw an old man dressed in plain clothes.
The old man had a gray beard, regular facial features, and a faintly heroic look between his brows. He was cleaning the spacious hall with a broom in his hand.
Inside the main hall, it was empty, and its structure was similar to that of the court halls in ancient times on Earth, but it hadn't been cleaned for some time, and the floor was covered with a faint layer of dust.
"You came."
Seeing Li Xiao, the old man seemed to have expected it, put down the broom, shook the coarse linen clothes on his body, and said with a smile, "Come with me."
"Okay, thank you." Li Xiao didn't ask who he was, he only needed to know that the old man was very strong, and there was no need to know the rest.
The old man led the way ahead and led him around the hall to a spacious study room. In the study room, rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged and there were many books.
After a brief scan, Li Xiao was surprised to find that the characters in these books were all written in small seal script, and all of them were made of bamboo slips. Looking at some of the characters on the hanging tags on the bamboo slips, they were actually some history of the Qin Dynasty in China.
In the center of the study room, there was another old man, dressed in a large and gorgeous robe, with his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged in front of a desk, he didn't seem to notice anyone coming.
"Is this the first emperor of Qin?" Seeing him, Li Xiao was moved and asked the old man beside him.
The old man smiled and came to the desk without saying a word.
The old man with his eyes closed seemed to finally know that someone was coming, his eyebrows moved, he got up from the ground, nodded in the direction of Li Xiao, and then spread his palms, and a black dragon robe appeared in his hand, the dragon robe was loose And when it opened, a king's breath also permeated.
He came to the plain old man and wrapped his dragon robe around his body. From the beginning to the end, he never opened his eyes, and the picture looked a little weird.
"You...are Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng?!" Li Xiao was startled by this scene, and looked at the old man who was sweeping the floor before, but now he was wearing a black dragon robe.
With the addition of the dragon robe, his whole demeanor has changed, his eyebrows reveal a domineering attitude, and his eyes reveal a kind of wisdom that cannot be concealed.
"Qin Shihuang, it's been a long time since no one called me that." Ying Zheng spoke and confirmed his identity. He looked at the shocked Li Xiao and said with a smile, "Why, is it the same as the one in the legend or in the imagination? , some discrepancies?"
"Indeed, it's a little different from what I imagined." After a while, Li Xiao came back to his senses. The Qin Shihuang he imagined should be a tall, mighty, domineering, and dust-free middle-aged king.
I never thought that the famous Emperor Shi Huang was actually a kind-hearted old man who was cleaning himself with a broom just a moment ago...
But, thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.
What about the emperor? After all, he is only a human being, and he still cannot escape life and death. After more than two thousand years, even if he is a saint-level figure, he still faces twilight.
Li Xiao couldn't help thinking of the Nine Heavenly Kings, a generation of half-sages, wouldn't they also sit in the world in the end?
Qin Shihuang waved his hand, and the old man who had never opened his eyes backed away quietly, and then he smiled and said: "His eyes are blind, he was stabbed blind by the enemy on the battlefield, and he will never be able to open them in this life. Forget it, let's not talk about it." These, come, let's sit down and drink together."
Qin Shihuang waved his sleeves, and in the spacious study, a table of delicious food and wine appeared immediately. He was very eager to see Li Xiao, as if he had been an old friend for many years. He personally filled a glass of wine for Li Xiao, and then poured it himself. He drank a glass of wine heroically: "To be honest, I never thought that the person who clamored in the holy places and beat the son of the widow came from the hometown of the widow."
Li Xiao's expression froze, he also drank a glass of wine, and said, "It seems that you already know where I come from."
"Hehe, King Li Yan." Qin Shihuang drank another glass of wine, his old face flushed, "I not only know where I came from, but also your identity. Is your grandfather okay?"
