Chapter 190 Extending the National Fortune
Chapter 190 Extending the National Fortune
Looking at the charlatan-like expression on Tang Yu's face, Ying Zheng had a feeling that the other party had ill intentions.
To be honest, Tang Yu didn't really know whether it was good or bad for Ying Zheng to take this pill.
However, he had a vague feeling that this elixir had an exceptionally powerful effect on the Qin state.
Moreover, it can only be used if it is imperial clothing.
As for the future, Tang Yu didn't know whether taking it would be effective after Fusu ascended the throne.
But if Ying Zheng were to take it now, it would definitely be effective.
Under Tang Yu's burning gaze, Ying Zheng nodded with difficulty.
He said, "Mr. Tang, if you insist that I take it, then I will take it."
Tang Yu immediately nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.
I'm not after anything else, I just want to have some fun.
He really wanted to know what the difference was between Ying Zheng taking the elixir and him taking it.
Holding up a pill, Ying Zheng examined it for a long time before finally sighing.
"Mr. Tang, this must be the real elixir of the immortal realm."
"The pills I used in the past had a peculiar fragrance and were of an extremely pure color."
"In reality, it feels unusually heavy when you hold it in your hand."
"This pill feels weightless in my hand; it's simply unbelievable."
Then, to Tang Yu's astonishment, Ying Zheng grabbed three and stuffed them into his mouth.
Wait, buddy, is this how you take your medicine?
Tang Yu discovered that Ying Zheng had indeed traveled to the future, so this guy would definitely be a fierce general after taking the medicine.
After all, grabbing a handful of pills and stuffing them into his mouth, especially three at once, is indeed somewhat beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Cough cough cough..."
As expected, Ying Zheng choked.
Tang Yu, somewhat speechless, picked up a glass of water from the side and handed it to Ying Zheng.
At that moment, Tang Yu suddenly heard the system's voice.
"It has been detected that Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, has taken three pills refined by the system, thus extending the Qin state's fortunes."
Tang Yu's eyes widened immediately.
The next moment, he looked at Ying Zheng and was even more shocked.
Because he discovered that although Ying Zheng was already taking care of his health and conditioning his body to avoid overworking himself.
However, due to some unhealthy lifestyle habits and various inflammations caused by staying up late to revise memorials, it can be said that this is very much in line with Tang Yu's opinion on middle-aged people in their forties and fifties.
He even looks older than those in their forties or fifties.
After all, those middle-aged people in their forties and fifties don't work until four or five in the morning every day.
Then, I have to attend the morning court session early in the morning.
Furthermore, he also took some pills made from heavy metal compounds.
And only Ying Zheng could do all of this.
At this moment, Ying Zheng's skin became smooth and delicate, and many of the white hairs on his head began to slowly recede.
His overall demeanor and posture also began to improve.
Compared to before, Wanruo is like a completely different person.
Tang Yu was speechless for a moment.
Ying Zheng was also curious as to why the gentleman looked at him in this way.
Is there something on my face?
What he didn't know was that there was nothing on his face.
But Tang Yu was completely terrified.
Tang Yu didn't answer, but shook his head and placed a mirror in front of him.
Ying Zheng was immediately shocked.
"Mr. Tang, is this me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is your face."
"Does this mean they've successfully extended their lifespan?"
Tang Yu rolled his eyes.
Of course! Otherwise, how could you suddenly become so much younger for no reason?
How much longer do you plan to live?
Ying Zheng was overjoyed.
Then, out of curiosity, he asked, "Mr. Tang, I can already feel the changes in my body."
"But what I would like to ask Mr. Tang is, apart from my health, what other changes have occurred in the overall situation?"
After all, Tang Yu had just said that if he took the pill, there might be other special changes.
Just as Ying Zheng was speaking, Tang Yu also offered his congratulations to him.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. I have just learned that when Your Majesty took the elixir, the fortune of the Qin Kingdom was extended accordingly."
"At least for now, if there are no external factors, even if Hu Hai's son were to rise to power again, the Qin state would not be able to perish in a short period of time."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's face lit up with surprise.
After Tang Yu took three pills, he felt his body become stronger, younger, and more powerful.
If Xiang Yu were to come now, Tang Yu would probably only need three punches to knock him to his knees.
Tang Yu was naturally delighted by this situation.
Then everyone looked at the remaining four pills.
Ying Zheng forcibly restrained his desire to give everything to Fusu.
So the four pills were stored in four porcelain bottles, so that if the emperor were to recover and ascend the throne in the future, he could dispose of them as he saw fit.
Thus, the matter of alchemy came to an end.
Tang Yu also left Xianyang City and returned home.
As soon as Tang Yu returned inside, he saw Lü Zhi cooking.
He couldn't help but step forward and ask curiously, "Lü Zhi, what are you doing?"
If it were any other kind of food, then it would be perfectly normal for Lü Zhi to cook.
But now Tang Yu discovers that what Lü Zhi bought wasn't ordinary food, but a lump of mud.
Why does it look a bit like beggar's chicken?
Lü Zhi's next answer also resolved Tang Yu's doubts.
Because this is beggar's chicken.
"Zilong, I'm making beggar's chicken according to the recipe passed down by the Imperial Preceptor."
"I've heard that this is an extremely delicious food, and only the naturally gifted Imperial Advisor Tang Yu could invent it."
Hearing the lady's praise, Tang Yu felt a little flattered.
After all, when Empress Lü praised the Imperial Advisor Tang Yu, she was essentially praising herself.
Didn't I get praised again?
How can you make someone unhappy?
The others had not yet returned when the two were eating.
I wonder what Fusu has been busy with these past few days.
I heard they always go to the ordinary residents in the south of the city.
Both Xiao He and Fan Kuai had their own things to do.
Xiao He seemed to be cramming for knowledge in a large library, while Fan Kuai's pork shop was about to open.
Tang Yu plans to go and check on how his meat sales are going.
He felt that if he went a few days later, not only would he miss Fan Kuai's opening ceremony, but there was a high chance he would miss the closing ceremony...
This is Xianyang, not Pei County. You'll be driven crazy here!
If there is an opportunity, it would not be unreasonable to recruit him into the Qin army and make him a great general.
Thinking of this, Tang Yu couldn't help but nod and a smile appeared on his face.
Looking at Lü Zhi's sweet face, Tang Yu couldn't help but think of Liu Bang.
This guy is probably still repairing roads in the freezing cold north.
