Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Looking at Lu Sheng's performance, Gao Yao nodded with satisfaction, then took out an exquisite small wooden box from the table beside him and handed it to Lu Sheng.

The Lu Sheng in front of Gao Yao was the reason why Qin Shi Huang believed in the way of elixir from the beginning. He was also the key figure who brought up the words "the one who destroyed Qin was Hu". However, everyone believed that the real one who destroyed Qin was the Hu people, that is, the Xiongnu today, including Qin Shi Huang.

Lu Sheng was a native of Yan and an alchemist. He began to look for the elixir of life for Qin Shi Huang in his early years. When Lu Sheng was working for Qin Shi Huang, Xu Fu had not yet appeared. Lu Sheng knew better that there were no immortals in this world, let alone the elixir of life. This was even more impossible, so Lu Sheng simply began to hide his identity.

It's just that others did not find the other party, but Gao Yao happened to find him. Lu Sheng was from Yan, so he naturally couldn't hide in Yan. He was afraid that he would be found by the people sent by Qin Shihuang to search for him, so he simply hid in Minzhong.

When Gao Yao sent people to do business, he would search for information, especially about some alchemists. However, Gao Yao was not looking for any elixir of life. He just wanted these people to help him collect sulfur, wood ash, saltpeter and other things. These things are necessary for alchemy, and to some extent, they are the raw materials for Gao Yao's black powder.

After Gao Yao obtained the black gunpowder, he never used it, in order to keep the existence of the black gunpowder hidden. This could change the overall situation at a critical moment. Since Gao Yao knew that he would have to go to war with others in the future, this kind of thing naturally could not be exposed.

This is completely different from things like wine and food. It can directly change the situation of a war. Gao Yao would naturally not take it out casually.

Because of this, he luckily found Lu Sheng's trace in Fujian. Of course, Lu Sheng had already changed his appearance at this time. Gao Yao asked these alchemists to help collect some materials in this regard. After hearing the generous treatment given by Li Mo, Lu Sheng, who used a pseudonym, was also tempted.

In fact, for the sake of safety, Gao Yao would usually choose to take these alchemists away, and would not let go of their families, including some apprentices and disciples, in order to avoid the news from leaking out. It was because of this practice that Gao Yao accidentally learned that this person was Lu Sheng.

Gao Yao had been thinking about how to deal with Qin Shi Huang. The appearance of Lu Sheng gave Gao Yao another idea. Lu Sheng was different from ordinary alchemists. Lu Sheng was an alchemist who truly knew Qin Shi Huang and was remembered by Qin Shi Huang. This alone was a completely different matter.

Gao Yao simply let the man stay. He had already thought of ways to raise him, including food, clothing, shelter, women, and even children. It can be said that the treatment Lu Sheng received from his family was not much different from that received by Gao Yao himself. Now it was time for Lu Sheng to repay the favor.

After hearing Gao Yao's request, Lu Sheng realized that he had no power to refuse Gao Yao. On the one hand, Gao Yao was very kind to him because he did not report Lu Sheng when everyone was looking for him.

Now, in a real sense, Lu Sheng's entire family is in Gao Yao's hands. Gao Yao can kill all of Lu Sheng's family members with just one word. So for Lu Sheng at this moment, he has to listen to whatever Gao Yao says.

"I need you to meet with Qin Shi Huang and give him the elixir of immortality."

"what!"

Hearing Gao Yao's words, Lu Sheng's face was also stunned. This was indeed something he had never thought of before. Moreover, Lu Sheng himself was not a stupid person, otherwise how could Qin Shihuang have been looking for it for so many years without finding it?

Therefore, Lu Sheng could naturally understand that Gao Yao in front of him was definitely not offering any real elixir of life, but more likely poison, and he was just a chess piece, and he would die after using it once.

"That's right, this is not a real elixir of life, it's just a tonic. But your guess is not wrong. Qin Shi Huang will die if he eats this. That's why I asked you to go."

"Well, Lu Sheng will definitely complete the task entrusted by the adults."

After the initial shock and hesitation, Lu Sheng calmed down and nodded to agree to the matter. Lu Sheng knew very well that since Gao Yao had already asked, there was no possibility for him to refuse.

"Don't worry, I will announce it tomorrow that your eldest son will be my adopted son, and your family will continue to live a stable life without any contact with me. They will also receive a large sum of money. No matter what happens to me in the end, your Lu family will have a successor."

"Thank you, sir. Lu Sheng will do his best."

"Remember, the more people who see this, the better. The more people who witness it, the better. Do you understand?"

"Here"

"If you still have a chance to leave Xianyang Palace, just find my southern caravan and they will be able to escort you back to the southern border. Then you will be a hero of the southern border."

"Thank you sir"

"Go ahead. Wait until you have completely arranged everything in the southern border before setting off again."

"Here"

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Lu Sheng slowly left the main hall. Looking at Lu Sheng's back as he left, Gao Yao gently knocked on the table a few times. As the sound fell, a woman in simple clothes slowly came to Gao Yao from behind the screen and knelt on one knee.

The woman's appearance was very ordinary. She could even be easily lost in the crowd without being noticed. She had dark skin and looked more like an ordinary peasant woman.

"Have you confirmed it?"

"Yes"

"Follow me, this matter concerns the entire southern region, do you understand?"

"Here"

After Gao Yao waved his hand, the woman slowly retreated. This was the special person that Gao Yao had trained. Women were the least valued group, and there were many women with ordinary looks. There were even more people who were not valued. Gao Yao specially selected these women for training.

The purpose of these women is very simple, they act as death squads to complete some tasks of spying on intelligence and assassinating people. Compared with men, women receive less attention, and Gao Yao has recruited hundreds of women like this. As for Lu Sheng, even though Gao Yao has given him benefits and arranged a way out for him, and even the other party's family has been captured in his hands, he still has to be on guard.
