Chapter 443 443.Princeling

Since now is Penglai's past, then for Qianyun, it is naturally history.

Although the First Emperor hid a lot of history in order to facilitate his rule, the legend of asking for medicine has always been circulated. So, Qiao Mu was a little curious about the final outcome of those who asked for medicine at that time.

"I have no memory of asking for the elixir, but among the high officials at that time, it seems that no one had ever heard of anyone who asked for the elixir at that time."

Qianyun thought for a while before answering.

"Perhaps the elixir-seeker was confiscated by the Death Judge because he didn't have the elixir."

Kiriyama thought that he probably also knew about Penglai's social structure and some special events.

"Why didn't they eat the elixir directly after they got it, and why did they have to go back?"

Qiao Mu was curious again.

Previously in Suiming Village, the death inquisitors who escorted the elixir had malicious intentions. Even though they knew that they would be silenced, they still couldn't withstand the temptation of immortality. They turned into bandits and even hid for thousands of years. .

Now, if this group of people really finds the elixir, there will be a few traitors in the high and low places who will run away after taking the medicine.

Moreover, according to Qiao Mu's observation, ordinary people in Penglai take ordinary elixirs. Only the First Emperor may be the complete version. This elixir of immortality must have also brought power. In this case, these elixir-seekers now If you take the medicine yourself, wouldn't you be able to become the First Emperor?

"Maybe this is loyalty."

Qian Yun murmured and nodded.

"This is Yu Zhong!"

Qiao Mu couldn't help but sigh, it's a good thing that no one else could understand what he said, otherwise the people around him would probably chop off his head again.

Just like now, after hearing Qiao Mu's seemingly indignant words, the medicine-seeking envoy Hui Jiang turned his head and looked at these three strange strangers.

"The weather today is good!"

Qiao Mu smiled brightly and waved to the other party.

Hui Jiang nodded suspiciously and turned back.

"Sir, I always feel that those three people have bad intentions."

Hui Jiang advised.

Although these three people seem to have special skills, just like the Taoist who was rumored to have refined the elixir of immortality, who can guarantee that they are not here for the elixir and will not have evil intentions along the way?

"Lord Huijiang, I don't know. His Majesty once told me before my trip that I would meet three noble people to help me during this trip. I think they are the noble people that His Majesty called me."

Xu Fu whispered.

"Noble?"

Hui Jiang really didn't know this, but Xu Fu had a higher status than him. It was not surprising that during this long trip, there were many things that the emperor only told Xu Fu.

He is not a direct descendant of Xu Fu, but a representative of another faction in the court.

This is not the first time that the emperor has sent a medicine envoy to search for the elixir of immortality. The previous six times, either there were accidents on the way and he was harmed by evil spirits, or the news was false and the search was fruitless. This seventh time, will Jiang guessed it might be the last time.

Because the emperor was old and terminally ill, he hurriedly sent people to ask for medicine. If they encountered any trouble on the way, the old emperor might die before they could return.

It is precisely for this reason that the two factions in North Korea and China will seize the last opportunity.

Xu Fu was considered a loyalist and loyal to the emperor. He was a close confidant of the emperor and was naturally in charge of the overall situation.

And Hui Jiang, although he was a neutral minister on the surface, he had actually joined the prince's faction.

The idea of ​​​​the Prince's group is very simple, that is, to slow down the progress of the team seeking medicine as much as possible.

After all, if he really got the elixir, wouldn't the old emperor die?

Since then, the position of the prince has really been on pins and needles.

After all, there is no such thing as a prince who has lived for eighty years, and if the old emperor lives forever, what use will the prince have? It will only become a hidden danger to his own great cause.

But who doesn't want to live forever, even the prince thinks so.

Therefore, Huijiang's task was to ensure that the elixir could be found while slowing down the team until the old emperor died and returned to the imperial court.

In this way, the prince can live forever and achieve great success for a long time.

This check and balance between the two factions can be regarded as a foreshadowing of this journey.

"The previous attempts to seek medical treatment failed, and my father died because of this, but this time is different. This time we can only succeed."

Xu Fu continued.

He is indeed a very decent man. Xu Fu's father was one of the first batch of elixir seekers. When the emperor was young, he set out to search for elixir. However, the first time he returned without success, and the second time he encountered an evil spirit and died. , the Xu Fuji family can be said to have a close relationship with this elixir.

"If you can successfully obtain the elixir, we will be honored as our ancestors."

Hui Jiang responded and looked into the distance.

"He seems very upright."

Qiao Mu heard the conversation between the two people and commented in a low voice.

"Maybe they really got the elixir in the end, but didn't go back."

Kiriyama looked serious.

"Now we can know that the emperor is terminally ill, and the elixir of immortality can give people extraordinary power. Therefore, it is possible that Xu Fu and the others got the elixir, but did not return to the palace, but took it for themselves. Yes, he overthrew the current emperor after taking it.”

After all, Penglai has always talked about the First Emperor, the First Emperor, and no one has actually seen him.

Although the legend of the medicine seeker exists, it may have been fabricated by the rebellious Xu Fu in order to establish his own legitimacy.

Who can really tell what happened tens of thousands of years ago?

"They say evil spirits exist here. What kind of pig do you have?"

Qiao Mu looked at Qianyun.

"There should be no pigs here."

Qianyun answered seriously.

"Pity."

Qiao Mu expressed regret for this.

"I think what he means is to ask Penglai if there are any corresponding evil legends."

Wushan explained it to Qiao Mu.

"What are you doing, Ah Shan? Doesn't explaining the joke like this mean that no one understands what I say!"

Qiao Mu objected.

Qianyun thought for a while.

"There are indeed records of evil spirits. It is said that before the First Emperor sought the elixir, there were evil monsters on the earth. They slaughtered living creatures. It was not until the First Emperor granted amnesty to the world that those evil spirits gradually disappeared. In my era, they are almost invisible. On the contrary, those immortal animals are more dangerous."

she replied.

"So you don't know what Yaoxie looks like?"

Kiriyama confirmed.

"Um."

Qianyun nodded.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead.

"Do you think there is a possibility that an evil spirit is attacking us?"

Qiao Mu felt something in her heart and had a sudden idea.

"Don't be so arrogant."

Wushan said something and stood up to check.

The team stopped, and the escorting general Nanzhou came to the front of the team, not knowing what happened.

"I gonna go see."

Wushan got out of the car and followed to the front of the team. He saw that this was the end of the woods, and there was a post road. It was supposed to be the direction the team was traveling, but it was occupied by a group of refugees.

This group of refugees were in ragged clothes, with sallow complexion and thin skin. They looked like they had not eaten for many days.

They gathered in front of the procession and blocked the road.

"Master Qingtian, please be kind and enjoy the meal."

The elderly man knelt in front of the carriage and kowtowed.
