I played the world alone

Chapter 546 Establishing Prestige
After a long silence, Qin Shihuang finally calmed down and finally asked a question: "When was the specific date of Gu's death? And why did he die?"

"Destiny has been decided. Even if I tell you, you can't change everything at all. Instead, you will become panicked all day long, and maybe it will bring disasters like destruction to the Qin Empire."

Qin Shihuang frowned and thought.

He also knew that what the other party said made sense.

But after all, everyone already knew about this, so it was impossible for him to pretend that nothing had happened.

If he had been given a more accurate date and cause of death, the situation would probably have been more serious.

If he just died of illness, that would be fine. If he was killed by someone...

He may really have to do more "burning books and humiliating Confucian scholars" more times and on a larger scale!

And at that time, it will definitely not be limited to warlocks and some Confucian scholars who slandered him, but more people who may seem innocent at present.

Even now, he is doubting something.

Especially the transformation plan proposed by Lu Chen was to make it more in line with the temperament of the emperor and the immortal family, and to add a sense of mystery and epicness. In addition, he did not need to be paid at all, it was purely voluntary labor, so Qin Shihuang just thought about it a little. Agree.

By the way, aren't these the same guys who burn books and seduce scholars? Why is he not only not dead but also alive now?

Lu Chen didn't expect the other party to accept it immediately. Everything he said now was just to increase the pressure to achieve the final result.

Including the follow-up, he will continue to show his mysterious power in front of the other party, so as to make the other party finally agree to this life and death adventure.

He thought for a while and asked, "Have you confirmed it?"

If I could get this person to talk, I might have a chance to survive.

Especially after Lu Chen showed him the design drawings, he was so happy that he waved his hand and told him to implement it as soon as possible.

But the scenes designed in these film and television dramas are indeed very grand and shocking, so eye-catching that Qin Shihuang himself felt very good when he saw them.

After entering the hall, I immediately saw the two middle-aged couples who were bossing around and scolding the maids and servants who were serving them.

The housekeeper was also a little puzzled: "I heard that those warlocks have been dealt with. I don't know how your master managed to survive and escape."

After all, everyone who knows now understands that the young boy in front of him looks young, but he is a new celebrity around His Majesty. Even his former confidant Mr. Zhao has to come to visit in person.

In addition, although this proposal is still under discussion, the mausoleum is already under construction, so there is no need to think too much about its renovation.

He also did not get out of the way of other workers during all this.
However, after a busy day and night, after returning to the temporary residence of his own era, something unexpected happened.

They were all dressed as ordinary farmers, with patches on their clothes, and looked dusty. It seemed that they had come here overnight after receiving the news.

As for the proposal mentioned by the other party, Qin Shihuang originally planned to reject it, but now he has to reconsider the feasibility.

"What about others now?"

However, when he released his spiritual sense, he found that the people waiting inside at this moment did not know him, at least they were definitely not those feminine-looking eunuchs.

The housekeeper was also stunned, probably because he didn't expect that he was not sure about the identity of his biological parents and had to ask others.

I didn't expect that...

"After bringing the person here, he left. He said it was urgent." The housekeeper whispered, "I think he may have run away secretly, and maybe he is being hunted..."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and didn't rush to speak. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Go in and take a look first."

"You said...do you want to ask for your help?"

After all, this is a fantasy scene that appears in various modern movies and TV dramas. It combines various legends that are incredibly magical, surrounded by mercury, various traps, and many fake mausoleums to deceive people.

"Who? Mr. Zhao?" Lu Chen asked casually.

"Ok?"

Regardless of whether it is true or not, in reality, after more than two thousand years, there are definitely not so many magical things, and it is impossible for modern people to see the whole picture.

No matter how much manpower and material resources are consumed, current technology cannot achieve this level.

When Lu Chen got off the carriage, he heard the strange-looking butler standing at the door waiting for him. He immediately whispered a reminder as he got off the carriage.

When I had the flashback, I never thought about the fact that this body had biological parents. After all, all I had experienced before were this kind of person, and there was no chance of seeing my biological parents or other relatives.

Of course, it is unrealistic for him to completely believe what the other party said in such a short period of time, so he still has to investigate carefully.

"have a guest?"

For example, there are some close ministers around him who were deeply trusted by him in the past.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

Then he answered cautiously: "Although we didn't have time to investigate and confirm, this was brought here by the warlock master who accepted you as his disciple before, so it shouldn't be wrong."

"That's it." Lu Chen nodded slightly, then asked doubtfully, "Aren't those warlocks...incarcerated? Why did they get out?"

"It's not Mr. Zhao..." the housekeeper hesitated, and finally reminded in a low voice, "They said they are your biological parents..."

On the same day, he received Qin Shihuang's permission to go to the mausoleum that was still under construction, and began to try to use magic to transform the land, and set up many formations to ensure that all magical powers could be realized here.

Good guy.

The only problem is that many of these designs are far beyond the capabilities of today’s ancient architecture.

Not to mention that many of the mysterious things can only be realized by an "immortal" like him personally.

So I originally thought it would be the same this time.

If you look closely at the facial features, you can indeed vaguely see some similarities with your own body and face.

It seems that even if they are not parents, they should still have a close relationship.

If that's the case, he actually doesn't mind giving the other party some benefits, it should just be some compensation for occupying this body.

However, at first impression, he didn't like the bossy and arrogant attitude of the other party towards his servants.

When he first appeared in their sight, they thought they would immediately come to greet him excitedly and have a touching family recognition.

As a result, they just glanced at each other and immediately frowned. The middle-aged woman even cursed with a mean look on her face: "Why did a little beggar sneak in! Why don't you drive him out quickly! Don't even look at this place." Where!"

"My son will be a national counselor in the future and will be a high official! How can such a place let these people come in..."

"beggar?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked back around, but soon noticed that everyone else's eyes seemed to be focused on him.

He looked down at himself.

Good guy, it was probably because I worked on the construction site of the mausoleum during the day. Although I used spells, I was in a hurry and did not use dust purification spells to save mana, so I was inevitably dirty.

But even though it was a little dusty and messy, it was definitely not a dirty beggar.

And the key thing is...

They couldn't recognize their own faces?
Seeing that people were standing there with strange expressions on their faces, not obeying their orders as they had just done, the couple immediately became angry again.

Fortunately, the butler showed up at this time to smooth things over, and introduced everything carefully.

"This is our immortal master and the owner of this mansion..."

The couple was immediately embarrassed and stayed where they were at a loss.

But what I didn't expect was that these two people were unexpectedly thick-skinned. They just stayed for a moment and then immediately changed their faces. They greeted them warmly and asked for help. They were almost completely different from the disgusted faces just now. !
"Why are you so dirty? Is someone bullying you? Tell daddy quickly, and daddy will teach them a lesson!"

"Oh, look at this kid. He is as thin as a bamboo pole. He must have suffered a lot..."

They looked distressed, as if they were not the ones who wanted to drive people away just now.

If he was just a naive child, he might actually be fooled.

It's a pity that Lu Chen wasn't even interested in fooling around with a little bit of hypocrisy, and just slapped away their hands that were reaching out to touch his face.

"I wonder what the purpose of these two rare guests is for coming here?"

Although he probably didn't deliberately understand it in the past two days, he probably guessed the life experience of this body.

He was sold to a warlock as a boy when he was young, and he has never had a son since then, and has never visited him for so many years.

He probably had already forgotten his existence.

Even though the two men and women were treated like this, they still didn't blush or gasp. Instead, they pretended to be closer to each other.

Lu Chen didn't continue to embarrass them, but he didn't give them a good look either. He guessed that they just heard about his affairs and made money to enjoy themselves, so he just asked the housekeeper to arrange for them to stay first.

"After two days, just give them some money and send them away."

Lu Chen thought.

Anyway, I can't stay in this era for long, and when the time comes, these two people staying here will only bring death to themselves.

It was late at night soon.

Lu Chen was lying on the bed taking a nap, but he was actually continuing to practice and accumulate spiritual energy to prepare for the construction work tomorrow.

Suddenly, some small sounds outside the door caught his attention.

His spiritual consciousness was released and he discovered that it was the cheap "parents".

Under the dim night, I saw these two people sneaking around outside his door. The woman still showed a bit of hesitation on her face, looking at the door and whispering to the man next to her.

"Do we really want to do this? After all, this is our son..."

"Then what can we do? We are already here, there is no turning back!" The man gritted his teeth, holding a sharp dagger in his hand with a ruthless look on his face.

Immediately, as if to convince himself, he continued: "Now this boy has done such a bold and wrong thing. He knows that the emperor has just killed a large number of warlocks, and now he dares to pretend to be a ghost..."

"If His Majesty sees through it, not only him, but we will all be implicated and die together!" "The only way now is that we kill him first, and then ask Mr. Zhao to intercede for us, and maybe we still have a chance to survive!"

The woman hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, with a cold look in her eyes.

"Well, who could make this child so stupid that he could make such a big mistake and even implicate us..."

They finally made up their mind and looked around again. After confirming that no one was there, they quietly opened the door of Lu Chen's room, hid the dagger in their sleeves, and waited for the opportunity.

The candles in the room had long been extinguished, and one could only rely on the faint starlight leaking in from the outside to identify the location and furnishings.

They groped carefully, and in order not to wake the children, they tiptoed and did not dare to make any loud noises.

After finally reaching the edge of the bed, he could vaguely see a slightly bulging human figure under the quilt on the bed. The man took a deep breath, revealed his dagger and stabbed it towards his chest!
"Puch..."

There was a soft sound.

But it's not the sound of piercing the human body.

Their expressions changed, and they quickly took off the quilt and took a look.

What frightened them was that there were two pillows hidden underneath, and no one was there at all!

"What about people?!"

"Are you looking for me?"

Suddenly hearing a voice coming from behind, the two people quickly looked back and saw that the person they wanted to kill was sitting on the table leisurely, looking at them calmly.

Those joking eyes were like looking at two idiots performing acrobatics.

"You...how did you..." Their faces turned pale and they were a little panicked.

"I originally thought you just wanted to come here to cheat some money and live a good life," Lu Chen continued, minding his own business, "I didn't expect that you would be so cruel and ruthless..."

But the man showed a ruthless look on his face and yelled: "Didn't you do those wrong things that have affected us? If we hadn't received the news in advance, we might have killed our whole family without even knowing it!"

"Things that are worse than beasts! I will kill them today to avoid future troubles!"

Shouting, he rushed over with a dagger. The strength and position of the dagger meant that if he was really stabbed, he would probably die on the spot.

Unfortunately, before he could get closer, Lu Chen just waved his hand casually and felt an astonishing force hit his chest out of thin air.

"boom!"

The person who was about to pounce directly bent over and flew out, directly knocking over the cabinets and vases next to him, and then hit the wall before stopping.

Although he didn't die directly this time, he was still vomiting blood and was in a miserable state. He probably only had half his life left.

When the woman saw this, she went crazy and rushed towards him with all her teeth and claws.

Unfortunately, he flew backwards in the next second, making a loud bang sound, and rolled on the ground in pain, wailing continuously.

This noise quickly attracted the attention of other servants in the mansion.

Thinking that there was a thief, several guards rushed over in a panic with weapons in hand. The housekeeper was even more furious, and the buttons of his clothes were all buttoned crookedly.

However, when they rushed in and found that the "thief" turned out to be the owner's parents, everyone suddenly looked a little weird.

"Lock them both up and wait for my instructions later."

With the master's order, the others immediately took action.

Even though these two people have special status, the servants still only recognize the orders of this "immortal".

The cheap parents screamed in pain, struggled to beg for mercy or cursed, but to no avail.

After the group of people left noisily, Lu Chen raised his hand and the dagger that fell on the ground flew into his hand automatically.

"Tsk, it's actually quenched, and the workmanship material doesn't look like something a small farmer from the countryside can buy..."

Lu Chen already had some clues based on the words he overheard just now.

"Are you going to attack yourself so soon?"

He chuckled.

According to what he had thought before, this famous eunuch should be a deep-minded and tolerant person, and would not take action until he was completely sure.

But he didn't expect to do it roughly in this way.

Maybe it’s the limitations of the times…

But it doesn't matter, it's rude to come and not return.

The next morning.

After learning that Qin Shihuang held a court meeting, Lu Chen had no intention of reporting anything, so he flew directly over the streets and city walls, flew straight into the palace, and stopped in mid-air under the astonished eyes of the ministers, looking down. Looking at the people below.

Including Qin Shihuang, who was slightly annoyed at being disrespected for his authority but still endured it, his fingers tightly grasping the handle of the seat.

As for Zhao Gao, except for a flash of surprise when he first saw him, his expression was normal, even too calm.

It was as if he was mentally prepared for his appearance.

"Master Immortal, I am currently presiding over the government affairs and discussing how to deal with the disaster. If you have anything to do, please come back later." Qin Shihuang did not get angry after all, but said in a deep voice.

The other ministers were so angry that they did not dare to speak out.

This immortal master is the only one who can make the current Qin Shi Huang maintain restraint.

But look at this ability, isn’t it true that someone who can fly in the sky is a real immortal! No wonder.

Lu Chen did not leave as he was told, but said calmly: "Your Majesty, I am here just to find someone. As long as I make it clear, I will leave naturally."

Qin Shihuang just frowned when he heard the other party continue: "Master Zhao Gao, I don't know how to thank you for the surprise I gave you yesterday."

"Zhao Gao?"

Qin Shihuang turned his eyes to Zhao Gao next to him.

The other party was still smiling and bowed his hand to the man in heaven.

"Immortal, finding your parents is just a trivial matter. We are very happy to see your relatives reunited. There is no need to thank you or anything..."

Before he finished speaking, a dagger was thrown on the ground in front of him.

"Then what does this mean?"

Zhao Gao looked puzzled and picked it up and looked at it carefully: "This, if I read it correctly, should be a weapon made by General Meng..."

Good guy, one ring within another.

Lu Chen didn't even notice this, but it didn't matter.

He just casually recounted briefly what happened last night, and everyone below looked stunned.

Qin Shihuang also looked a little ugly.

Not only was he afraid that this immortal master with the magic of immortality would be attacked, but he was also angry that such a thing happened right under his eyes without him knowing about it.

Zhao Gao also looked frightened and looked worried: "I didn't expect that there are such parents..."

Qin Shihuang only glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Master Immortal, I will find out this matter and give you an explanation!"

"That's not necessary. I didn't come here to investigate the case or anything, because it doesn't mean anything to me or you." Lu Chen smiled.

He didn't even look at Zhao Gao, who was acting pretentiously on the ground, but looked at Qin Shihuang.

"Ying Zheng, let me teach you one more thing this time."

"Do you think that the emperor in the human world is very majestic and awesome? Let whoever you want die die. He even desperately pursues immortality just to be greedy for these powers, so that this power can be passed down forever, right?"

Qin Shihuang's expression changed and he almost fell out.

Lu Chen didn't give him a chance to speak, so he sealed his mouth with a spell and continued.

"But do you know that in front of the immortal, these are just passing clouds. Your human army, millions of chariots and horses, are just like dust to me, and they will be scattered with a wave of my hand."

"Immortality is just a bonus on the road to cultivating immortality and seeking the Tao."

"Think about it again."

After that, he ignored Qin Shihuang, who was already turning blue with anger, and left.

However, when the spell was released and Qin Shihuang was about to get angry, he suddenly heard Zhao Gao, who was smiling just now, let out a shrill scream!

Looking around in the blink of an eye, I actually saw that the opponent turned into a colorful clay sculpture from the feet up, and even bit by bit scattered mud crumbs were falling with the opponent's frightened and struggling movements!

"What's going on! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save me! Save me!"

Zhao Gao's face was twisted in fear, and he waved his hands wildly, as if he was trying to grab some life-saving straw.

However, as the clay sculpture continued to spread and rise, in the blink of an eye, both legs had turned into clay and began to climb upwards from the waist. He could not move even half a step.

This strange scene scared Qin Shihuang, who was quite close, and immediately jumped up from his seat, and hurriedly took a few steps away with his face pale.

After a while, the screams finally stopped.

Looking at Zhao Gao at this moment, it was as if someone had changed things under his nose. The entire clay sculpture was lifelike, with his expression, movements and clothes all turned into colorful clay!

Immediately, in the next second, someone gasped or the wind blew, the clay sculpture began to crack rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a pile of mud and fell to the ground.

Amidst the rustling sound, not even a trace of blood was left, and a human life just disappeared.
