Chapter 389: Death of Xu Fu
Ying Chengjiao showed a strange look on his face, for he was quite familiar with the three words Zhao Gongming.
Although only a few people have read the original book of the famous novel "Investiture of the Gods", the TV series, movies and animations adapted from this book are truly flourishing and have supported a large number of cultural and entertainment workers.
Almost everyone in China, young or old, male or female, knows about the Investiture of the Gods, and Zhao Gongming is one of the characters in it.
The first outer sect disciple of Jiejiao, although he is an immortal, he is loyal and has boundless magical powers. He has three beautiful sisters - Yunxiao, Qiongxiao and Bixiao.
[Zhao Gongming has come out. Could it be that Investiture of the Gods is not a novel but a record? Are there really gods in this world? ]
Ying Chengjiao became very interested and touched the only three black guns in the world in his arms, and his confidence was strengthened.
Guiguzi and Wang Chan, who were once his disciples, learned a variety of knowledge, including Yin and Yang, Confucianism, Taoism, diplomacy, and military strategy. Among them, there was one teaching called immortality.
Guiguzi was not only a master of both the art of diplomacy and the art of military strategy, but he was also very skilled in the art of immortality, otherwise he would not have lived for more than three hundred years.
As the master of Guiguzi, Ying Chengjiao, who has been with Guiguzi day and night for several years, knows very well that Guiguzi cannot stop bullets.
"I'll go out and take a look!"
He dodged and rushed out of the royal carriage with four horses. The First Emperor wanted to stop him but it was too late. He could only frown as he listened to the voice of .
"Where are you from?"
The First Emperor asked Xu Fu who was kneeling below.
"I am from Xu."
Xu Fu replied respectfully.
"Even if you are ignorant of worldly affairs and devoted to learning, as a doctor, you should also know the relationship between Cheng Jiao and me, and your position in the court. How dare you speak of Cheng Jiao in such a way in front of me today?"
The Qin Dynasty had doctors of varying quality. Among them were highly educated people with real talent and knowledge like Fusheng and Tang Bing, there were also flatterers like Zhou Qingchen whose knowledge was not on paper but on words, and there were also children of noble families who just held the title of doctor and ate the emperor's food.
But no matter which one it was, it was impossible for him not to be clear about the situation in the court. Even if he was not proficient in it, he should at least know the general situation so that he could give an effective answer when the First Emperor asked questions.
The group of doctors, who had the power to discuss politics, were equivalent to the retainers kept by the First Emperor and were his think tank. Knowing about national affairs and the latest developments in the court was a basic quality for them.
The First Emperor's tone was normal. He did not ask any questions, but used a declarative tone as plain as boiled water, as if he was just chatting.
But Xu Fu's heart was beating so hard that his temples were throbbing and his head was a little dizzy. In addition to the words of the First Emperor, he could also hear the clear sound of his heartbeat.
Boom~
Boom~
Boom~
The dull and rapid sound accelerated the blood flow in his body. Red slowly appeared all over his body and he sweated profusely.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
This time it was a questioning tone.
Xu Fu's heart was beating like a drum!
For the first time, the great Yin-Yang master felt the imperial power over life and death. His heart trembled and he kowtowed heavily to the ground.
If the hexagram had not shown that he was not in danger of death today, and he had not held on to his last bit of mind, he would have melted into the ground like a puddle of mud, without even the courage to respond.
"I heard that the former Imperial Censor made a frank remonstration, but Your Majesty was not angry, but promoted him to Right Prime Minister. I know from this that Your Majesty, like King Wei of Qi, will reward those who point out mistakes to their faces. Your Majesty..."
Bang!
A loud bang that shook the world!
The royal chariot with four horses shook violently. Zhang Han, who was guarding outside, drew his sword and rushed into the chariot in one go, looking furious.
Ying Chengjiao, who had rushed out of the carriage and was searching for the source of the voice, suddenly turned his head with a look of extreme horror, and returned at a speed several times faster than before he rushed out!
He was very familiar with this sound, it was a gunshot!
There are three pistols in the world.
One was in his hands, one was in the scientist's hands, and the last one was given by him to his brother for self-defense.
Ying Chengjiao was extremely anxious. He didn't know what kind of dangerous situation would make the First Emperor, who was protected by a large number of soldiers, shoot in self-defense.
The royal chariot with four horses that was surrounded in the center suddenly encountered an accident, and all the soldiers were in a commotion. Figures emerged from the shadows, surrounding the royal chariot with four horses like ghosts, silently and without a trace.
The well-trained Qin army had three layers inside and three layers outside to surround the four-horse royal chariot and those figures with special markings. They held their long spears tightly in both hands, their faces were stern, and they were ready for battle.
The curtain of the car fluttered and was opened from the inside.
The doctor ordered Zhang Han to sheath his sword, and there was an unshakable look of relief on his cold face.
He looked around and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, there is nothing to do. Please disperse."
No one moved.
Neither the innermost Shadow Guards who were under the direct command of Zhang Han, nor the armored and armed officials who surrounded the Shadow Guards and were also under the direct command of Zhang Han, moved.
Not only did they not move, they also stared at Zhang Han with vigilance.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and the First Emperor walked out. He looked around at the silent shadow guards and officials, and shook his head speechlessly.
This kind of situation would have been absolutely impossible in the past. The Qin army strictly enforced orders and subordinates had to obey unconditionally when their superiors gave them orders.
But since the tour was confirmed, the First Emperor, under the persuasion of his brother, added a rule to the Shadow Guards and the Palace Officials: "In an emergency, no order should be given unless the First Emperor himself is present."
The final effect is like this.
If he did not show up, Zhang Han, as the Langzhongling and the commander of the Shadow Secret Guard, would not be able to command the Langguan and the Shadow Secret Guard.
"I am at peace, disperse."
"only!"
The sound should be like a tsunami.
The Shadow Secret Guards continued to return to the shadows, some of the Langguan were on duty, and some were resting.
Ying Chengjiao, who had nothing to do and had seen the First Emperor on the road, came late and got on the four-horse royal carriage.
There was a shocking bloodstain on the car curtain, and upon closer inspection, a bullet hole could be seen on the dark curtain.
This splattering blood is caused by the blood suddenly bursting out behind the body under the action of blood pressure after the bullet penetrates the body.
Before Ying Chengjiao could ask any questions, the First Emperor had already opened the curtain with new blood flowers painted on it and walked back.
"Get in here!"
The First Emperor spoke in a bad tone.
The blood-stained carriage curtains were fluttering, and the strong smell of blood was brought by the wind. In the gap between the shaking curtains, there was a skinny corpse lying face up, with its eyes wide open and not closed.
All of this made Ying Chengjiao no longer have the urge to go out and look for Zhao Gongming.
"Go check if Zhao Gongming is dead or not. If he is not dead, take him to car number two."
The First Emperor continued to issue orders in the carriage.
"only!"
Zhang Han responded quickly.
Without Gai Nie, the First Emperor no longer had to mention names when issuing orders.
Ying Chengjiao lifted the curtain and walked in with a sullen face.
"Don't I have anyone else under my command? When will it be your turn to show off your power? Don't you know that the person who is trying to assassinate you now is almost the same as the one who is trying to assassinate me! Are you crazy?"
The First Emperor held a wet cloth in one hand and a pistol in the other, wiping the hot barrel of the gun as he spoke.
His face was so gloomy that it almost rained.
It was a dark and windy night, and Zhao Gongming dared to walk at night in the deep mountains and forests and even confronted his convoy head-on.
The First Emperor couldn't understand what was going on in the mind of such a powerful man. How could he dare to leave the protection of the caravan alone to look for that person?
This is not looking for someone, this is looking for death!
Ying Chengjiao did not answer. He had been staring at Xu Fu's body since he came in, feeling a little bit of disbelief in his heart.
Xu Fu, the famous person who sailed to Japan, has a mysterious color in history. He was the famous person who went to sea to visit immortals for Emperor Qin Shihuang. How could he die so easily?
