Chapter 219 Eastern Tour - Rumors (2)
The words are divided into two parts.
In Zhao Gao's residence, the candles were bright, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.
Zhao Gao, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Ben were sitting around a huge sandalwood round table.
The whole room was unusually quiet, and even the light breathing of the three people could be heard.
Finally, Zhao Cheng took a deep breath and broke the suffocating silence.
He looked at Zhao Gao solemnly and spoke first, "Brother! The news that Xu Fu's disciples and followers disappeared because the elixir was fake and they were murdered to silence them has spread like wildfire throughout the city. Even His Majesty has probably heard of it. If we wait until the truth is revealed, I'm afraid we will..."
After saying that, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but frown, and his fingers tapped unconsciously on the sandalwood round table.
However, before Zhao Gao could respond to Zhao Cheng's words, Zhao Ben suddenly stood up.
He first bowed to Zhao Gao and Zhao Cheng, then said with a resolute look, "My two brothers, rest assured! If this matter is eventually exposed, all the blame will be borne by me alone. My Zhao family will not be implicated in the slightest! Even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate!"
Zhao Gao looked at Zhao Ben quietly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He slowly raised his hand, motioning for Zhao Ben to sit down. A subtle emotion flashed across his eyes as he said softly, "Brother Ben, don't be impulsive. While this matter is difficult, it's not hopeless."
Zhao Cheng hurried forward, an anxious look on his face, and asked, "Brother, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhao Gao was silent for a moment, his eyes darkening. He said softly, "We must first find a way to retreat and divert everyone's attention."
"But how easy is this? Now all parties are paying attention to this matter. If there is any mistake, all our efforts will be wasted." Zhao Cheng said worriedly.
Zhao Gao sneered, his voice carrying a hint of disdain, "It's not a difficult matter. The sea is vast, it's normal for a few people to die. Besides, Bendi is the deputy general in charge of the fleet, so it's not difficult to unify the personnel's statements. The only tricky thing now is the issue of whether the elixir is real or fake." A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
After hearing this, Zhao Ben nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother. I will secretly arrange for someone to unify the statements."
Zhao Gao nodded slightly and said to Zhao Cheng, "Second brother, you should secretly persuade Xu Fu to keep his mouth shut."
Zhao Chengze nodded slightly and replied, "Brother, you are absolutely right. This is the only way to proceed."
Afterwards, the three of them began to discuss the specific action plan, and a depressing and eerie atmosphere filled the room.
The next evening.
In the Dune Palace.
At this moment, the palace was filled with rich fragrance and melodious music.
The First Emperor was half-lying lazily on the dragon throne, holding a graceful and scantily clad beauty in his arms.
Her silky smooth skin is faintly visible, exuding charming charm; her pair of captivating eyes are as clear as autumn water, which makes people's hearts flutter.
The First Emperor leaned slightly against another beautiful woman in a light gauze dress. This beautiful woman, with a rosy face and charming appearance, was gently massaging the First Emperor's shoulders.
The First Emperor held an exquisite wine jar in his right hand, sipping the wine from time to time, and immersed himself in the wonderful singing and dancing performances brought to him by the beauties.
The beauties danced gracefully with their long sleeves, looking as light and agile as fairies. Their steps were sometimes slow and sometimes fast, following the rhythm of the music, and each movement perfectly displayed the charm of women.
At this moment, Yu Heng stepped into the palace quietly.
He walked steadily and looked solemn, as if he had come with an important mission.
The First Emperor noticed Yu Heng's arrival, slowly raised his head, and moved his gaze from the beauty to Yu Heng.
Then he waved his hand gently, signaling the beauties in the palace to leave for the time being.
The beauties who received the order did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. They stood up and saluted the First Emperor, then filed out of the palace.
In the blink of an eye, the originally bustling hall became quiet, with only the First Emperor and Yu Heng left.
Yu Heng said respectfully, "Your Majesty, after secret investigations, the disappearance of Xu Fu's disciples and followers is related to Deputy General Zhao Ben. However, it seems that these people disappeared because a large shark destroyed their ship on their way home, and they were unfortunately buried in the sea. As for the elixir, there is nothing unusual at the moment."
The First Emperor sat on the dragon throne, his left hand supporting his forehead and his right hand gently tapping the armrest. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since this is the case, this matter will be temporarily concluded. However, continue to pay attention to Xu Fu's movements. The matter of the elixir cannot be lost."
His voice was low and majestic, as if the whole palace was echoing with his words.
Yu Heng replied, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will do my best. However, Your Majesty, what do you think of Zhao Ben?" There was a hint of worry in his eyes, as if he had some doubts about Zhao Ben's situation.
The First Emperor stood up, paced for a while and then said, "Zhao Ben is a member of Zhao Gao's clan. Zhao Gao has been loyal to me for many years. I believe he dare not act rashly." His words were full of confidence.
"As you command." Yu Heng hesitated, finally bowing his head in acceptance. A hint of helplessness appeared on his face, as if he had more to say but didn't dare to open his mouth easily.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and the candlelight flickered. The First Emperor frowned slightly, and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
As night fell, the palace was brightly lit.
The First Emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, put the first black pill into his mouth, and swallowed it quickly.
"Your Majesty, can this elixir really prolong your life?" Yu Heng asked cautiously.
The First Emperor thought nothing of it and said coldly, "Yu Heng, please don't say anything. This elixir has indeed had miraculous effects after I took it. It will surely help me achieve my wish of immortality in the future."
At this moment, as the pill entered the throat, a burning force instantly spread throughout the body.
The First Emperor suddenly felt an unbearable heat all over his body, as if a blazing fire was burning his internal organs. This strange feeling made his heart beat faster, his blood boil, and his whole body became extremely excited.
Under the powerful impact of the drug, the Emperor's previously calm and dignified face flushed. His eyes shone with a strange light, like two burning stars.
"Your Majesty, how do you feel?" Yu Heng asked with concern.
The First Emperor suppressed his physical discomfort and said solemnly, "It's alright, this is the effect of the elixir."
At this moment, he was already driven by desire and urgently needed a way to vent the surging emotions in his heart.
So, the First Emperor immediately summoned several beautiful and graceful beauties to serve him in his bedroom.
They are dressed in light gauze clothes, with graceful figures and beautiful faces, and every step they take exudes charming charm and amorous aura.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." The beauties said softly in unison.
The First Emperor's eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the beauties in front of him. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
"Come here and undress me." The First Emperor said softly.
The beauties came forward one after another and gently took off the dragon robe for the First Emperor.
An ambiguous atmosphere suddenly filled the bedroom.
Soon, panting sounds were heard from the bedroom.
