Molested Zulong at the beginning

but……

You know, she is still very young.

With her current energy, she can be in power for at least another 30 years, which is enough for her to deal with the issue of Da Xia's successor.

Where does the young man in front of him get the confidence to say that Da Xia is going to die soon?

Bai Su smiled.

As for Fusu and Hu Yan's current lack of ability, I believe there are many smart people in the world who have already seen it.

But it never occurred to him that His Majesty doesn't have much time left.

After all, judging by the ruling time of the monarchs of the past dynasties, the ruling and opposition parties of the Great Xia are so stable, no matter how you look at it, it is not a problem for His Majesty to be in power for three to forty years.

I'm afraid, even the current His Majesty himself thinks so in his heart.

Such a long time is enough to slowly eliminate hidden dangers in the empire.

But other people don't know, Bai Su, who is a descendant, still doesn't know.

Bai Su took a deep breath, lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, the current His Majesty may not have a few years left."

Sister Zheng and Wang Jian were stunned for a moment, and wanted to refute, but Pianpian Baisu seemed to be swearing.

"Bai... Young Master Bai, why did you say that?"

Wang Jian carefully glanced at Zheng Jie's face, then asked in a low voice.

Bai Su scratched his cheek and said, "It's no secret that His Majesty seeks longevity."

After the current Majesty unified the world, he began to seek longevity, summoned folk magicians to Xianyang, and even sent Xu Fu to search for immortals to discuss.

This pursuit of longevity is not a big problem.

After all, who doesn't want to live longer.

But the problem lies in the method of longevity, actually pinning hope on that illusory pill.

The materials used to refine elixirs are all minerals that the human body cannot take.

Lead, mercury, and cinnabar, do these things seem to be edible by humans? All of them are highly poisonous.

If you eat one or two, relying on your body's own resistance, you will slowly recover after a few months.

But eating this poisonous pill every day, even Iron Man can't bear it.

I remember that the Roman nobles in history, in order to increase the sweetness of the wine, added lead powder to the wine one after another, and as a result, everyone who drank it died young.

However, the poisonous pills refined by His Majesty today are still more poisonous than lead poisoning.

After eating for several years in a row, if the body does not go wrong, then it will be hell.

Seeing the dubious expressions of the two, Bai Su chuckled lightly, "I know a thing or two about the way of pills."

"The materials used by alchemists to make alchemy are nothing more than lead, mercury, cinnabar and saltpeter. These things are rare and highly poisonous. If you eat one or two occasionally, there may be no problem with your body's own resistance."

"However, if you take these pills for a long time, the toxicity will gradually accumulate, and one day your body will wear down."

"As far as I know, the current Majesty summoned folk warlocks a few months ago to go to Xianyang to refine the elixir. If this continues, I am afraid that within a few years, the current Majesty will die suddenly."

After hearing Bai Su's words, Wang Jian was startled.

She hastily asked: "Young Master Bai, the elixir you said is poisonous, but is it true?"

A few months ago, a group of warlocks did go to Luoyang. His Majesty rewarded them with great gifts in order to let them refine the elixir.

If this group of people not only refines fake alchemy, but also poisons His Majesty, then it is simply reckless.

But Bai Su pouted: "Why am I lying to you, if you don't believe me, you can buy cinnabar, lead and mercury, give it to a mouse, and see if it dies or not after a few days."

Wang Jian was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to say, but quietly glanced at the silent sister Zheng beside him.

Although Sister Zheng felt chills in her heart, she didn't fully believe what Bai Su said.

It is difficult for people to accept these words that the elixir that can be refined to prolong life is actually poison.

However, she remembered what she said just now.

After all, the materials that Bai Su said to refine the elixir basically corresponded to the list requested by the warlocks in Xianyang Palace, there was not much difference.

Moreover, Bai Su also said just now that to verify whether there is any poison, you only need to let the rats take the medicine all the time.

When the time comes, it will be true or false, you will know once you try it.

Seeing that Sister Zheng bowed her head silently, Bai Su thought she was lost in thought.

He continued: "Great Xia seems to be as stable as Mount Tai now. That's because there is a strong lord sitting in the town. Although the bodies of the six countries are destroyed, the souls of the six countries are still there. The land, wealth, culture, and talents are still in the hands of the remnants of the six countries. They just went into hibernation for a while."

"Today's Majesty has fought many battles in the south, built the Great Wall in the north, and built roads across the country. This strategic vision is certainly correct, but such a large project in a short period of time has greatly increased the burden on the people. dissatisfied."

"Right now, Daxia is like a young man with a strong body. Even if he has some ailments, he can still overcome them with his strong body."

"But once the current Majesty is gone, and the power of Da Xia is handed over to Fu Su and Hu Yan, it will be like a strong young man turning into a weak old man."

"Those minor ailments that seemed innocuous in the past will all erupt together."

"Coupled with the fact that no successor has been established, not only will the world be in chaos, but even the ruling and opposition parties in Daxia will be in chaos."

"It can be said that the day when His Majesty dies of illness, the Great Xia will fall apart. We can do business to accumulate capital and prepare for the troubled times in the future."

Bai Su paused, and while Wang Jian's eyelids were twitching wildly, he grabbed Sister Zheng's slender and slender hand.

With a chuckle, he took out the engagement letter from his pocket and handed it over: "Although I promised Lao Zhao that I would marry you in, I can't force you on matters of affection. I will hand over the engagement letter to you now."

"If Ms. Zhao is willing, you can sign and make a pledge with me, and I will definitely marry you in."

"If the girl is unwilling, just burn this thing directly. I will still treat you like family and take good care of you and sister-in-law."

As a person of later generations, what he advocates is free love. Although he is very greedy for this girl Zhao's body, he is attracted by the beauty... ahem, love at first sight.

But after all, he doesn't like the feeling of being forced, after all, the melon of being forced is not sweet.

Besides, didn't the ancients appreciate their generous approach very much?

According to the unfolding of the TV series, the next step is that Ms. Zhao was moved in her heart, and then she agreed with her body.

Just when Bai Su was thinking about the idea of ​​holding the beauty back.

Sister Zheng glanced at the engagement letter in her hands with her phoenix eyes, and Bai Su who was looking forward to her eyes.

The corner of her mouth curled slightly: "That's it, thank you so much Mr. Bai."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the parchment roll between her fingers and threw it into the brazier. The engagement book burst into flames and turned into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, looking at Sister Zheng who was smiling but not smiling, he could only scratch his cheek in embarrassment: "Cough...cough cough, Miss Zhao is really a soft-tempered person."

This development is a bit different from what he thought.

Chapter 5 Fun Toys

Bai Su scratched her cheek, looking at Sister Zheng who was smiling but not smiling.

He naturally saw that this Miss Zhao had no intention of marrying him.

But he was not too disappointed.

Although he fell in love with this Miss Zhao... ahem, hit it off right away, but after all, he is a person of later generations.

Regarding emotional matters, what is advocated is mutual gratification, not unilateral liking.

After all, although twisted melons can quench thirst for a while, they are not sweet after all.

On the other hand, Wang Jian subconsciously wanted to get up after hearing Bai Su say that the elixir was poisonous.

But the elder sister Zheng next to her secretly gave her a wink, and then she managed to hold back the anxiety in her heart.

"Master Bai, I need to go out when I have something to do, please stay at home for a while." Sister Zheng turned her head and said to Bai Su with her phoenix eyes.

Bai Su smiled: "Miss Zhao just go, don't need to pay too much attention to Bai."

Sister Zheng didn't say much, she just nodded and walked out the door with Wang Jian beside her.

"The ancients were simple and simple. If they burned the deed of selling their lives and the marriage contract, the other party would be moved in their hearts and then marry each other with their bodies. Sure enough, all the dramas in TV dramas are deceitful."

Bai Su looked at Miss Zhao's slender back that was fading away, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He scratched his cheek with his index finger, recalling Miss Zhao's weird eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Sure enough, the country roads are slippery, and people's hearts are complicated.

"Forget it, let's see if there is anything to eat. I've been walking for a day, and I'm a little hungry."

Feeling the rumbling stomach, Bai Su took out the purse at his waist, looked at the dozen or so copper coins inside, and thought about going to the town to see if he could buy something back.

But in a hidden bamboo forest.

"His Majesty……"

A group of guards dressed in black bowed and saluted one after another.

"Get up." Sister Zheng's vermilion lips parted slightly.

She seemed to be a completely different person at this time, and her aura became fierce, making people afraid to look at her.

Wang Jian frowned, she hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty..."

Her mouth was half open, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.

Great Xia swept Liuhe and unified the world. His Majesty also held a ceremony of enshrining Zen in Mount Tai. He thought it could be passed down to the ages, but he didn't expect to learn from Bai Su that Great Xia would perish in a few years.

Even the elixirs refined by those warlocks in Xianyang Palace who have won heavy rewards are rarely highly poisonous.

This kind of scalp-numbing news really made her dare not open her mouth easily.

"It's okay, don't be so nervous." Sister Zheng smiled.

She wasn't too surprised.

After all, those warlocks in Xianyang City have only a short period of time to refine elixirs. Although she has taken some elixirs, the quantity is not much.

Even if there is something wrong with the elixir, as Bai Su said, as long as you don't take it for a long time, relying on the body's detoxification, you can slowly get over it as long as you cultivate for a period of time.

Sister Zheng pondered for a moment, then looked at Wang Jian with her phoenix eyes: "What do you think of what he just said?"

Wang Jian's almond eyes froze for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty is referring to..."

Sister Zheng didn't speak, but stretched out her slender fingers, touched the wine lightly, and drew a picture of a pill on the stone table.

Wang Jian looked at the pattern on the stone table and fell silent.

After hesitating for a long time, she whispered: "Maybe... let someone try it secretly?"

After all, she didn't dare to express any opinion on such a major matter about the Great Xia's national fortune.

The elder sister nodded slightly.

Wang Jian called the guard at the side, and gave him some instructions in his ear.

The guard in black clasped his fists in salute, immediately got on his horse and rode away towards Xianyang.

After doing all this, Wang Jian returned to Sister Zheng's side, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I have sent people back to test the effect of the pill, and I believe it won't be long before we know the result."

Sister Zheng nodded and didn't say anything more. Her phoenix eyes looked at the bamboo forest swaying in the wind in the distance, as if she was thinking about something.

Although Sister Zheng looked calm now, Wang Jian, who often followed Sister Zheng, knew in his heart that His Majesty was already a little angry.

Right now it's just the calm before the storm.

It would be fine if the elixir is fine, but once His Majesty finds out, the elixir is highly poisonous.

I'm afraid...all the warlocks in the world will be implicated.

As for the so-called sorcerers who offered pills in Xianyang Palace, their heads would roll and their blood would flow like rivers.

"Your Majesty, will you continue to follow the original plan and go to the coast of the East China Sea to tour the world?" Wang Jian asked in a low voice.

"No hurries……"

Sister Zheng was playing with a delicate box in her hand, and gently turned the rocker on it.

"A cup of bitter tea, as evidenced by the bright moon." As the copper needle slid across the indentation of the jade plate, her familiar voice came out from the wooden box.

"Interesting toy, isn't it." Sister Zheng looked at the box in her palm, her red lips curved slightly.

Although she has not been in contact with Bai Su for a long time, she can tell that this young man has an extraordinary background.
