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

Chapter 208: The Taoist Priest Lu Sheng Seeks to See Qin Shi Huang

As Qin Shi Huang's voice fell, the hall fell into silence, as if time had frozen. Everyone knew what the Northern Border Army represented, but no one dared to express their views easily at this moment.

The officials in the court knew clearly that even if there were people with greater military merit and prestige than Meng Yi, they would not dare to choose to go to the northern border easily. There was always a gap between envy and reality that was difficult to cross. The 300,000 northern border troops had become an elite division under Meng Tian's careful leadership for many years. Although they could not say that they only recognized Meng Tian, ​​it was not easy to easily command this army.

Now that Qin Shi Huang had spoken personally, who would dare to stand up and express opposition at this time? The military generals present were silent, as they knew the difficulty; and the civil officials kept their mouths shut and were unwilling to say more.

"In this case, then the matter is settled. We must not slack off on the eastern tour!" Qin Shihuang's majestic voice sounded and echoed in the court.

The ministers below immediately responded in unison: "Yes!" As Qin Shihuang gave the order, everyone nodded their heads to show their agreement.

Just when Qin Shi Huang was feeling a little tired and was about to leave the court, Li Si suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to Your Majesty."

Qin Shi Huang was slightly stunned, but seeing that it was his most trusted minister, he decided to listen to Li Si's opinion. So he asked: "Hmm? Li Si, what do you want?"

Li Si replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the Xianyang magistrate arrested a wanted criminal. The wanted criminal claimed that he had a past with Your Majesty and insisted on seeing Your Majesty. Since the Xianyang magistrate was unable to handle the matter, he could only report it to me. After I went to understand the situation, I hereby ask Your Majesty for instructions."

"Li Si, if you bring this wanted criminal to the court and tell me, is your tenure as prime minister over?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am terrified, but this person is indeed a little special."

At this time, many ministers began to whisper in the court. Li Si was the powerful prime minister of the dynasty, but his speech today was very strange. A wanted criminal came to question Qin Shi Huang. Isn't this asking for trouble?

At the same time, the mysterious man also had a surprised look on his face, and calmly looked at Yi Xiaochuan who was beside Qin Shihuang. Yi Xiaochuan also noticed the other party's gaze, and then shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not know about this matter.

Yi Xiaochuan was also very confused at this time. She and Li Si had already formed an alliance. Even if Li Si really had any action, he should have informed her in advance. However, this action was indeed something she had not expected at all.

"speak......"

Compared to the confusion and bewilderment of the others, Qin Shi Huang was somewhat dissatisfied at this time. However, Qin Shi Huang was only physically weak, not confused. There must be a reason for Li Si to say so. After all, Li Si was not stupid.

"Your Majesty, I think I should report this matter to Your Majesty in private."

Li Si naturally understood that Qin Shi Huang was already angry at this time, but Li Si had no choice. He had to say this even if he had to bite the bullet. This was also to clear himself of all the relationship afterwards.

"Someone is coming..."

This time, Qin Shi Huang did not waste words and directly responded with a shout. The next moment, countless black-armored soldiers appeared on both sides of the hall, full of momentum. This was Qin Shi Huang's greatest confidence in the Xianyang Palace.

This is also the reason why neither Yi Xiaochuan could let Qin Shihuang die in the Xianyang Palace. These black-armored soldiers are basically equivalent to Qin Shihuang's personal guards. Any one of them is a centurion, and they have all been on the battlefield. If Qin Shihuang has any problems, these black-armored soldiers will quickly control the entire Xianyang Palace, and it is impossible to forge an imperial edict.

"Your Majesty, the wanted criminal is Lu Sheng"

At this time, Li Si seemed to be helpless and directly said Lu Sheng's name. When the word Lu Sheng appeared, many people present were stunned. After all, those who could be in the court now were basically old ministers with high official positions and who had followed Qin Shihuang for a long time.

Lu Sheng was the one who made the prophecy for Qin Shi Huang, and he was also the half-guide for Qin Shi Huang to start his journey of seeking immortality and medicine. Although later generations have been talking about Xu Fu, in this era, Lu Sheng's name is much greater than Xu Fu's.

In short, Xu Fu was a well-known alchemist in the coastal areas. He was knowledgeable and proficient in medicine, astronomy, and navigation. It was because of this that he was sent out to sea by Qin Shihuang to seek immortals and medicine. Of course, some people say that Xu Fu was Guiguzi's last disciple, but there is no proof. However, there is no doubt that compared with Lu Sheng of the same period, Xu Fu was not as good as him. Lu Sheng was a well-known alchemist.

The mysterious man who heard this at the side had a look of shock on his face. Unlike Yi Xiaochuan who was bewildered beside Qin Shi Huang, the mysterious man had read so many books and witnessed so many things in so many reincarnations that he could recite all the characters in the history of the Qin Dynasty by heart.

What about Yi Xiaochuan? His understanding of the Qin Dynasty was still superficial, so he naturally didn't know Lu Sheng. However, the mysterious man was very alert and he immediately felt that something was wrong. According to the development of history, Lu Sheng shouldn't have appeared at this time, and there was not even any folk rumor about him, let alone that he came to meet Qin Shihuang in person.

The mysterious man had never paid attention to Lu Sheng before, and he did not expect him to suddenly appear, which gave the mysterious man an ominous premonition. He suspected that someone must be behind the scenes, because too many unexpected events had happened in this reincarnation. The mysterious man decided not to let these accidents affect the implementation of the plan, so he cast a suggestive look at Yi Xiaochuan, hoping that Yi Xiaochuan could stop Qin Shihuang from asking more questions to avoid causing unnecessary trouble again.

At the same time, Qin Shihuang's eyes widened, and then Qin Shihuang immediately waved his hand to signal the black-armored army to retreat. Li Si, who was standing below Qin Shihuang, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. After all, in order to clarify his relationship, this scene was bound to happen. Otherwise, Qin Shihuang and his court officials would easily link Lu Sheng and Li Si together.

Although Li Si mentioned Lu Sheng now, he did not take the initiative to say it. It was Qin Shihuang who forced him to do so, and it was the Xianyang Order who arrested him. He was just passing on a message.

"Lu Sheng? How did he get caught?" Qin Shi Huang asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, Lu Sheng was not arrested, but took the initiative to find the Xianyang magistrate and requested to meet Your Majesty." Li Si explained hurriedly.

Hearing this, Qin Shihuang's face turned gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly, and a trace of anger and doubt flashed in his eyes.

"This Lu Sheng actually has the courage to appear before me! What on earth does he want to do?" Qin Shi Huang said coldly.
