Traveling to Xianwu

444 Escort

Shen Chengping smiled slightly, took out a white jade bottle from his bosom and said, "The longevity medicine has been refined and can be taken. We must present it to His Majesty. No one is allowed to make plans for this medicine. Hurry up and arrange someone to escort you." Bar."

"Really, that's great!" Zhao Fei said with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty is seriously ill now, if you can get the longevity medicine, you will be able to recover!"

Shen Chengping nodded. Although he had been refining medicines for the past three years, he still knew about the situation in court. Not long after Shen Chengping started refining the longevity medicines, Zhao Li's body began to deteriorate day by day. , and is now terminally ill, and may die at any time.

Shen Chengping naturally knew that this was the backlash of Zhao's national destiny. Although Zhao Li was the hero who created Zhao's unification of the world, it did not mean that he could consume Zhao's national fortune without restraint. The fate of the country has been reduced for at least 500 years. If he hadn't been the leader of the Zhao country, he would have died suddenly.Otherwise, although Zhao Li is already fifty years old at this time, but he has refined his internal strength and taken high-quality tonics, even if he works hard in the government, it is not a problem to live for 90 or [-] years.

Naturally, what Shen Chengping took out was not the Phoenix Longevity Pill that he had painstakingly refined, but the longevity elixir that he refined by improving the longevity medicine refining method. In fact, Shen Chengping had already known the formula of this longevity medicine. , but the cause and effect of refining the longevity medicine is not what he is willing to bear, so he slightly modified the formula and refined the longevity pill with various top-notch elixir. Just one can prolong life for a hundred years, but it is only a lifetime for ordinary people. He could only take one, and Shen Chengping didn't want to be too pitiful after all. In Shen Chengping's view, this elixir was Zhao Li's reward for his help in refining the Phoenix Longevity Pill.

The alchemists around didn't know that what Shen Chengping held was not the longevity medicine, but the longevity pill, so they stared at the white jade bottle in Shen Chengping's hand with bright eyes, and then slowly retracted their gazes after a while. Although they harbored suspicions about the longevity medicine, with so many people present, no one was sure that they could snatch the longevity medicine under the siege of so many people.Besides, there are elite Zhao troops sent by the first emperor outside the valley. Even if they can snatch them, they will probably be shot and killed by those Zhao troops. The longevity medicine can only make people live forever, but it doesn't mean they can make people invulnerable. , Invincible vertically and horizontally, even if he takes the longevity medicine, he can still be killed by others.

Therefore, under all kinds of scruples, these people suppressed the greed in their hearts. After all, it is still uncertain whether the elixir of longevity can be used for longevity. After all, the elixir of longevity was simply a legend before, and they should be desperately robbed of longevity for an uncertain possibility. But medicine can't make such a big determination.

Seeing everyone's expressions and reactions, Shen Chengping coughed lightly and said: "Everyone, since the elixir of longevity is released, we should dedicate it to His Majesty as soon as possible. I decided to lead the people to present the elixir of longevity."

Many alchemists had scruples, so they silently watched Shen Chengping leave with the elixir.

Naturally, Shen Chengping didn't deliver the longevity medicine alone, Zhao Fei and his relatives were also with him. Although Zhao Fei was also curious about whether the longevity medicine in Shen Chengping's hands could really lead to longevity, he didn't feel anything about the longevity medicine. Greed, Zhao Fei is very clear that whether the longevity medicine is true or not, he cannot spy on it. Once greed arises, his parents and brothers may all face disaster.

The desolate horn sounded, and soon thousands of Zhao soldiers assembled. These Zhao soldiers were all extremely brave and powerful, otherwise they would not have been arranged to guard the altar nearby.

Getting on his horse, under the escort of Zhao Fei and his army, Shen Chengping personally took the longevity medicine to Zhao Wang's palace where Zhao Li was recuperating.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, not to mention that Shen Chengping has been refining the longevity medicine here for three years now, and there are not a few people who know about it. Gradually, it has spread and it has been remembered by those who are interested.

If you want to say who doesn't want Zhao Li to live forever, the most important thing is the royal families and nobles of other countries who were wiped out by Zhao Guo. The rebellions started by the six countries in the old places were suppressed one after another. Externally, neither the barbarians in the north nor the barbarians in the south could stop the pace of Da Zhao's current expansion. Moreover, Da Zhao also had an efficient civil court. The hearts of the people have gradually settled down. If this momentum continues, it will be impossible for the remnants of these countries to achieve the restoration they dream of.

Until the last few years, the first emperor Zhao Li contracted a serious illness, and the situation was getting worse day by day. The crown prince Zhao Ping didn't look like a wise man, he could only be said to be a middle-aged man. Only then did they feel the existence of hope. Under such circumstances, when they heard about the refining of the longevity medicine, their first reaction was that they must not let the longevity medicine fall into Zhao Li's hands.

What's more, the longevity medicine itself will attract endless covetousness, so when Shen Chengping delivered the longevity medicine, Zhao Fei led the army to escort him to Zhao Wang's palace, otherwise, even if Shen Chengping's strength is not weak, he cannot guarantee to face infinite Endless interception and shooting.

Sure enough, as Shen Chengping expected, waves of surprise attacks appeared. Apart from those scattered martial artists, teams of extremely elite private slaves soon appeared. It's only been more than ten years, although Zhao Guo has severely cracked down on private slaves, but in many newly captured territories, the tyrants in many places still keep private slaves. The private slaves raised by these tyrants are like private soldiers, and they may not be as good as the regular army when assembled. , but it is also an extremely powerful force, many of which belong to the participating forces of various countries.

Under the impact of the private soldiers formed by these local tyrants, more than a thousand soldiers led by Zhao Fei also suffered injuries. As the news spread that Shen Chengping rushed to Zhao Wang Xinggong with the longevity medicine and offered it to the First Emperor, Shen Chengping It became more and more difficult for them to move forward.The distance was less than half, and more than a thousand elite Zhao troops lost most of them under the impact of more than a dozen waves of powerful families.

Zhao Fei had already expected the difficulties along the way. Following Zhao Li's serious illness, there were turmoil in the court. Zhao Fei, as an important general of the Zhao State, was well aware of this, so the loss has not been small.

Along the way, Shen Chengping and his party encountered the biggest wave of interception next to a small town. It was so dark that there were thousands of them. They didn't know that the hidden power of these aristocratic families was so strong. They were stunned near Handan Arm thousands of private slaves.
