With the death of the demon god pillars, the dark and oppressive aura that shrouded the entire Mei Family Village finally dissipated. Of course, since it was night time now, there didn't seem to be much of a difference.
After the crisis was resolved, Xu Fu, who was originally lying on the ground pretending to be dead, squinted his eyes and climbed up. He was now in a difficult position. Originally, he only wanted to quietly be a Jianghu swindler, but he was carelessly tricked by Tang Hao. He finally escaped from death with great difficulty, and the divine weapon that fell from the sky was Qin Shihuang.
This time, he probably couldn't hide no matter what.
Since he couldn't hide, he could only face it boldly.
Xu Fu was quite straightforward, he immediately ran over and knelt in front of the carriage. He said respectfully, "Commoner Xu Fu greets the emperor!"
"Xu Fu?" Qin Shihuang raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Hao.
At this moment, Tang Hao's complexion had improved. Indeed, as Qin Shihuang said, the immortal qi in the carriage was very suitable for nourishing the body. He introduced, "He is a daoist priest that I met in the River Village. He is quite capable, so I brought him along. He was also the one who discovered the demon god pillars wanted to use the Mei Family Village as an arrow. "
"Oh, then he does have some capabilities." Qin Shihuang was instantly interested. He had always valued talents in this area. He asked, "Daoist priest, where did you learn from?"
Xu Fu gritted his teeth and struggled for a while. Finally, he said, "Your majesty, this commoner is an idler in the mountains. By chance, I obtained the inheritance of Laojun Taishang in the human world. I am the 103rd generation disciple of Laojun Taishang."
"Laojun's disciple … Since that is the case, it is a waste of your talent to be an idler in the mountains. Why don't you follow me back to the palace and serve as an imperial necromancer?"
When Qin Shihuang spoke, he didn't use a commanding tone. Instead, he used an attitude of discussion and inquiry. However, Xu Fu knew that a ruler was domineering. Being courteous to the wise was courteous. If he really dared to reject, then Qin Shihuang's attitude might be different. Moreover … he seemed to have heard something that he shouldn't have heard. From all aspects, he had no possibility of rejecting.
"Xu Fu thanks Your Majesty for your grace and swears loyalty to Your Majesty!"
As Tang Hao listened to the conversation, he couldn't help but feel that the world was unpredictable. He didn't expect that the swindler he met by chance was the famous Xu Fu. He also didn't expect that Xu Fu and Qin Shihuang would meet because of him. If he didn't bring Xu Fu here during the day, would the two of them not have any interaction?
At the very least, with Xu Fu's current indifferent attitude, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to seek refuge with Qin Shihuang and work for the royal family.
So, if that was the case, did he enter history and change history, or … was his existence itself a part of this world's history?
Tang Hao secretly shook his head. No matter what, there was no way to answer this question.
Xu Fu submitted and obediently stood beside the carriage. After that, Qin Shihuang's gaze naturally fell on Yu Ji.
"Huiji Style Zero. I see that this woman is not a mortal. She has the aura of a fairy. Where did you find such a fairy?" Emperor Qin asked with a hint of a joke in his tone.
"Chance encounter, chance encounter."
"What a good chance encounter. I conquered the Central Plains and searched various secret realms, but I still haven't found a real immortal. You've only been out for a few days and you're already able to meet such a fairy. Why don't I have your luck?" Emperor Qin looked at Tang Hao with a faint smile. "Originally, I had planned to reward you with a few beauties after you've dealt with the vampires. Since you have such a fairy as a companion, then I'll forget about rewarding you with beauties."
Eh?
Tang Hao was stunned. Did he lose out?
"Fine, since this matter is over, follow me back to the palace. Jin, bring the two corpses." With that, Emperor Qin got back into the carriage.
Not far away, Yu Ji's eyes flickered. When Tang Hao waved at her, she followed him into the carriage.
The carriage was very big and could accommodate five to six people sitting side by side. Yu Ji followed Tang Hao into the carriage and sat on the right side of Emperor Qin. She narrowed her eyes and did not say a word, no one knew what she was thinking about.
As for Xu Fu, although Emperor Qin had also invited him, he was good at judging the situation. He knew that the identities of the three people in the carriage were not simple. As an ordinary old Daoist, he did not dare to get involved. Thus, he sat outside the carriage and acted as the coachman. He was rather carefree.
As the carriage rose into the air, the Jin grabbed the corpses of Lyme and Baal and carried them on his shoulders. He followed behind the carriage with huge strides.
"Is everyone in Mei Family Village dead?"
Emperor Qin asked after a moment of silence in the carriage.
"Yes." Tang Hao nodded and reported what he knew truthfully. He then said, "Your Majesty, according to Baal's last words, I don't think this matter is over. Mei Family Village is still a hidden danger. I suggest that Your Majesty seal off the village and send heavy troops to guard it."
Emperor Qin: "Do you think there are other demon god pillars that came to this era?"
"It's not impossible."
"Hmph, since they came, We will kill them!"
Qin Shihuang sneered. Only when the Demon God Pillar was mentioned did Tang Hao feel the tyranny and cruelty of this ancient emperor. Of course, maybe it was because of his special identity that Qin Shihuang's attitude towards him was slightly different from how he treated other people. There was very little sense of oppression from an emperor.
"By the way, Your Majesty, why did you bring back the corpses of the demon god pillars?"
"Oh, about that …" The corners of Qin Shihuang's mouth curled up, revealing a hint of a smile as he asked, "You've seen the Twelve Metal Men, then do you know what they were before they were made into this form?"
"I heard that Your Majesty gathered all the weapons in the world to make them."
"Heh, all the weapons in the world." Qin Shihuang sneered, "The weapons of the world in the hands of ambitious people will be the weapons of the world. If they were just placed there, they would be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal. I collected them and used the techniques of the Celestial Realm and spent several years to forge them, turning this pile of scrap metal into the divine weapons of today."
"We are not singing praises for myself. But … since ordinary bronze weapons can be forged into godly weapons, then, what can the demon god pillars' corpses be forged into? We are very curious about this. At the very least, we can use them to refine pills. "
As expected, he was going to refine pills …
Tang Hao couldn't help but cup his hands. "Big brother Zheng is awesome!"
"Big brother Zheng is awesome?" Emperor Qin frowned and asked in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Uh —
Tang Hao was stunned. He didn't realize that he blurted out what he was thinking. He hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, this is the honorific we use for the great figures in our era. Your Majesty is the greatest emperor in history. No one has ever been able to surpass you. That's why we call you Big brother Zheng. As for the word 'awesome', it means that you have a heroic spirit. So when you put it together, it means — Your Majesty's heroic spirit is unparalleled! "
"Oh, I see." Everyone liked to hear compliments. Emperor Qin was no exception. He couldn't help but point at Tang Hao and teased, "I didn't know that you are quite good at flattering … Big brother Zheng is awesome. En, not bad indeed."
"Since you've flattered me, I won't let you work so hard anymore. For the next few days, you can rest and recuperate in the palace. I will send an imperial physician to take care of you. As for the Demon God Pillars, we can put it off for now.
…
After a while, they arrived at Xianyang Palace.
Emperor Qin directly sent Tang Hao to his courtyard before leaving with Xu Fu. As for Yu Ji, he knew that she was Tang Hao's woman, so he didn't have any thoughts of making arrangements for her.
Seeing the carriage fly away, Tang Hao felt a little absent-minded. Speaking of which … To let Emperor Qin, the greatest emperor of all time, be his coachman, he could probably be considered the only one in history, right?
Ah, no, he really did feel a little dizzy!
The moment he got off the carriage, due to the excessive blood loss, Tang Hao immediately felt dizzy. He couldn't even stand steadily. Fortunately, Yu Ji supported him in time.
"Help … Help me in …"
Tang Hao said weakly. With Yu Ji's support, he walked into the room and laid down on the bed.
"Do you want me to boil some medicine for you?" Emperor Qin Shi Huang's carriage also had a lot of ginseng, ganoderma and other heavenly and earthly treasures, which were given to him when he came down.
"No, no need, I'll hold on for now."
Tang Hao waved his hand. It was not that he was being stubborn, but Octagon Purple had said earlier that his current state was perfect for activating his Divine Power. It was because the Divine Power had saved his life that he did not become a Death Apostle or something like that. It would be best if he could maintain this state for a while longer, allowing the Divine Power to be activated more thoroughly. If he was lucky, he might even be able to produce some strange abilities.
Through the previous battle, Tang Hao deeply realized that he was still a weak chicken. In terms of fighting strength, he was only slightly stronger than Xu Fu.
Furthermore, Xu Fu could summon the projection of the Grand Supreme Old Lord, which he couldn't even compare to.
Therefore, in order to further activate his divine power, he had no choice but to endure.
"Just talk to me, don't let me fall asleep …"
Tang Hao leaned on the bed and looked at Yu Ji, maintaining his consciousness. This was also the key step to activating his divine power.
Yu Ji hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still sat down by the bed. She was quiet, elegant, graceful, and did not look like a grumpy elder sister at all.
It could be seen that her emotions were a little complicated at the moment. It was the same when she was in the carriage. Even when Emperor Qin spoke to her, she did not reply at all. She was probably the only one who would dare to treat an emperor like this.
On the other hand, Emperor Qin had more or less seen through her identity, so he did not take it to heart.
Tang Hao frowned slightly, the atmosphere in the room was getting more and more oppressive, making him a little unaccustomed to it. As expected, the grumpy elder sister's personality was the best.
Could it be that she felt guilty for sucking his blood and causing him to become like this?
Just as Tang Hao was thinking about this, Yu Ji finally opened her mouth and asked, "The First Emperor said that you traveled through time and space to come here from two thousand years in the future in order to save humanity. Is that true?"
Eh, so that's what you're focusing on?
