63: Oh? I did it?
Chu Mo's words directly scared Li Si, who was among the civil officials, to his knees.
“Your Majesty, I didn’t…” Li Si also followed in Xu Fu’s footsteps, constantly kowtowing and begging for mercy on the ground.
Glancing at Li Si, Ying Zheng's gaze was deep.
Li Si was a very capable person, but he was too keen on pursuing power. If someone were to exploit this, there was indeed a possibility of success.
Of course, the premise was that he had to die for Great Qin to fall into chaos.
If he was fine, no one would dare to jump out.
Otherwise, they would face the wrath of the entire Great Qin.
“You may withdraw. I have my own arrangements.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!” Li Si repeatedly thanked him and retreated among the officials.
However, his heart had completely turned cold.
With Chu Mo's words, his official career would probably end here, but he dared not hate the other party.
Because he was afraid!
Afraid that one careless move would lead to the annihilation of his entire clan.
Seeing Ying Zheng spare Li Si, Chu Mo looked at Qin Shi Huang in this Mythical Small World with a new level of respect.
Originally, he thought he had no ability, but now it seemed his methods of managing subordinates were quite good.
At least with this incident involving Li Si, the various civil and military officials would not be in a state of panic just because of his words.
It also benefited the stability of the imperial court.
Indeed, no matter which Small World Qin Shi Huang was in, he had his unique methods.
It was just that in the Late Stage, when he met Yi Xiaochuan, he might have been intelligence-reduced by the Protagonist Halo.
At this moment, Ying Zheng stepped forward and bowed in gratitude: “An Immortal's words are enough to ensure the continuation of Great Qin's foundation. Since that is the case, I shall bestow upon this person the title of Great Qin Imperial Advisor…”
“Ah? I'm an Imperial Advisor already?” Gao Yao felt it was quite surreal. Not long ago, he was washing vegetables in the Royal Kitchen, and now he had become the Great Qin Imperial Advisor.
This was truly somewhat unreal.
However, it was all thanks to these two group members; otherwise, in that treacherous Royal Kitchen, he might have been beaten to death at any time.
After Gao Yao was appointed Imperial Advisor by Ying Zheng, Chu Mo began to talk about the second matter: “We are tracking a person named Yi Xiaochuan, whose true identity is an extraterrestrial demon.
According to the information we obtained, he has taken Possession of Meng Yi's body from the Meng Family.”
As soon as these words were spoken.
Ning Haocheng's eyes beside him changed.
It seemed that they were the extraterrestrial demons, and Yi Xiaochuan could at most be considered an inner-world demon.
Gao Yao also looked at Chu Mo, opening his mouth, looking as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.
Yi Xiaochuan and he had Transmigrated at the same time. Although Yi Xiaochuan was frivolous, unrighteous, and had even harmed him like this…
Alright! He had no virtues!
Unable to find any virtues in Yi Xiaochuan, he chose to continue being his background.
At the same time, Meng Tian, who was standing in front of Ying Zheng, could not sit still. He looked at Chu Mo and questioned him.
“You said my brother Meng Yi is an extraterrestrial demon? Do you have evidence?”
“Is Yi Xiaochuan in your Meng Family?”
Chu Mo retorted.
Meng Tian shook his head, his expression somewhat forlorn: “My brother Meng Yi got separated from me when he was five years old. I don't know where he is now.”
“Your brother has been possessed. That means his Soul is dead, and his body has been occupied. Although he has the tiger seal mark of your Meng Family Army, his words are incoherent.”
“If one day you encounter someone who has a tiger seal, claims to be from 2010, and calls himself Yi Xiaochuan, don't hesitate, kill him!”
Meng Tian had not yet met Yi Xiaochuan, but he certainly would in the future. At that time, based on the tiger tally mark on the other party and an age similar to his brother's, he would mistakenly identify him as his brother Meng Yi.
And what he had to do was cut off Yi Xiaochuan's path to connecting with the Meng Family.
Although he and Ning Haocheng were both looking for trouble with Yi Xiaochuan, the Protagonist probably wasn't that easy to find?
If they really couldn't find the exact location, they couldn't possibly refine the entire Great Qin, could they?
Although they were not following the Righteous Path.
But, it wouldn't go so far as to extinguish humanity.
Burying the trap was the best option!
“Since Gao Yao has been appointed Imperial Advisor, we will help you!” Chu Mo flicked his finger, and a stream of spiritual power entered Ying Zheng's body, circulating through his limbs and bones.
Immediately after, he felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.
“Your Majesty!”
All the civil and military officials were shocked.
First, Xu Fu was harmed, then Li Si, and now it was finally the First Emperor's turn?
Meng Tian's heart also tightened, his gaze fixed on Chu Mo in front of him, and he even drew the long sword from his waist, ready to fight him.
If the other party truly intended to harm the First Emperor of Great Qin, even if he knew he was no match for the other party, he would lead the Meng Family Army to fight to the death.
He was about to act but was stopped by Ying Zheng's words, “Meng Tian, the Immortal is not trying to harm me…”
Hmm?
Meng Tian was puzzled, but then he saw the blood on the ground was tinged with black, clearly not normal blood.
Looking at Ying Zheng's face again, compared to its previous darkish hue, it was now much rosier.
“You have been taking Medicinal Pills for many days, but you do not know that they are actually highly poisonous.
Alchemists refine Medicinal Pills with mercury and various metal substances, mixed with other medicinal ingredients.
When you first consume it, you will feel refreshed and clear-headed, but after a long time, you will suffer from heavy metal poisoning.
Clinical symptoms include dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, bloody stools, insomnia, irritability, depression…”
Chu Mo's voice sounded at the opportune moment.
Historically, Ying Zheng suffered from heavy metal poisoning from consuming Immortal Pills, which led to his death at the age of forty-nine during his fifth eastern tour.
Beside him, Ning Haocheng looked at Chu Mo with some confusion and said, “Chu Ge, you're an Immortal Cultivator, saying all this modern medical knowledge really takes me out of the scene!”
Chu Mo did not answer Ning Haocheng but looked at Gao Yao: “Do you think my rhetoric is out of place?”
Gao Yao shook his head, “No, I think it's very professional. You could completely open a clinic in ancient times, no, you could go to the Imperial Hospital and be an imperial physician. Those imperial physicians in the palace are not as professional as you.”
Chu Mo: “…”
I'm an Immortal Cultivator, and you want me to be a doctor? But then again, is an Alchemist considered a type of doctor?
After I go back, I must try to learn Alchemy. Then I can achieve Medicinal Pill freedom in the future.
In front, although Ying Zheng and the others did not understand the professional terminology, they could generally grasp the meaning.
Combined with the black Impurities in the blood on the ground, they immediately understood what those Alchemists had been giving them daily.
“These Alchemists actually used poisonous substances, falsely claiming them to be Immortal Pills, to give to me. Meng Tian, go and bury all those Alchemists and sorcerers alive, and burn all the bamboo slips they used to harm me.”
“Yes!” Meng Tian clasped his hands and accepted the order, then sent a team of Meng Family Army to the palace to execute the imperial decree.
Ning Haocheng walked over to Chu Mo and whispered, “Could it be that the historical burning of books and burying of scholars was caused by you, Chu Ge?”
Chu Mo glared at him, annoyed.
“You said it yourself, 'history.' Are we in history right now? It's just a derived Small World.”
