Chapter 23

It might even lead to immediate death.

Qin Shi Huang ordered General Zhang Han to stop the convoy.

The massive convoy stopped for no apparent reason.

Only General Zhang Han and a few others close to the imperial carriage knew what had happened.

Those further away did not know what was going on.

But since the Emperor had ordered the stop, they had no complaints.

"Father Emperor, just order someone to catch a few small animals to test the medicine."

"Humans have large bodies, so they won't die immediately after eating those poisonous pills, but will slowly be poisoned to death."

"But those small animals have small bodies, so they will die upon touching it!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked calm and confidently explained to Qin Shi Huang.

Seeing this boy so calm, Qin Shi Huang could not help but believe him a little more.

If this method were not effective, this boy could not be so calm.

"Someone, go catch a few small animals."

Qin Shi Huang ordered those outside the imperial carriage.

"Understood!"

General Zhang Han, standing outside the imperial carriage, was stunned upon hearing this.

Did he want to eat small animals?

But he dared not be the least bit negligent.

He immediately ordered people to catch small animals.

Soon—

Soldiers brought back two small white rabbits.

"Your Majesty, we have caught two white rabbits."

General Zhang Han stood outside the imperial carriage, holding a large and a small rabbit in his hands.

"Bring them in."

"Understood."

General Zhang Han entered the imperial carriage and bowed to the Emperor and the Young Master sitting inside.

Qin Shi Huang looked at the two rabbits, then at Ying Ying Zi Ye.

Ying Ying Zi Ye took the large rabbit, held it in his arms, and started petting it.

"Father Emperor, just crush the pill and feed it to them."

Qin Shi Huang did not waste words and took out the box, handing it to General Zhang Han.

"You do it."

General Zhang Han dared not speak much; he had heard the conversation clearly from outside.

Taking the box, General Zhang Han took out the 'immortal pill' shimmering with a metallic luster.

This was his first time seeing the legendary immortal pill.

After examining it slightly, he crushed the 'immortal pill' with his hand.

He fed all the fragments of the 'immortal pill' to the larger rabbit.

He placed the rabbit on the imperial carriage, bowed respectfully, and prepared to withdraw.

"Stay and watch together."

Qin Shi Huang called General Zhang Han to stay, and General Zhang Han stayed obediently.

But inadvertently, beads of sweat appeared on General Zhang Han's forehead.

After a short while.

The white rabbit, which had been jumping around, gradually slowed down.

The rabbit, which had been moving inside the imperial carriage, stopped.

"Thump~~~"

The rabbit fell inside the imperial carriage.

It kicked its limbs a few times, foamed at the mouth, and died.

"It is indeed poisonous!"

"How bold! To dare to harm me!"

"Good for you, Xu Fu!"

"Good for you alchemists!"

Seeing the rabbit's miserable state, Qin Shi Huang flew into a rage.

General Zhang Han was also scared silly by this scene.

Damn it!

This so-called 'immortal pill' was truly poisonous!

Seeing the furious Qin Shi Huang, General Zhang Han knelt down immediately.

And Ying Ying Zi Ye watched this scene with interest, continuing to pet the rabbit in his arms.

After returning to Xianyang this time, it should be the end for that group of alchemists.

Ying Ying Zi Ye had no pity for this group of alchemists.

Qin Shi Huang's expression was ugly to the extreme.

A moment ago, the rabbit was jumping around in front of him.

But after eating this 'immortal pill', it died in a short time.

It was evident how toxic the poison was.

And he had been foolishly eating this poisonous pill as a life-prolonging treasure.

Even if his body was strong, he could not withstand such self-destruction!

Qin Shi Huang understood.

His 'sudden death' at Outside Sucheng was inseparable from this medicinal pill.

He understood everything.

This group of alchemists, indeed, none of them were good!

But Xu Fu was no longer in Great Qin.

A few months ago, he had taken three thousand boys and girls and sailed east.

It turned out that all of this was planned and premeditated.

Whether there would be another chance to find Xu Fu was unknown.

The furious Qin Shi Huang soon calmed down.

Xu Fu was not in Xianyang now, but the other alchemists were still there.

It seemed Xu Fu was not of the same mind as those alchemists.

Otherwise, why would he have left them here to wait for death?

This time when he returned, humph, the end for those alchemists was not far off.

Qin Shi Huang glanced lightly at General Zhang Han.

"Do not let this matter leak out."

"Wait until we return to Xianyang to deal with it!"

"Understood!"

General Zhang Han received the order and withdrew from the imperial carriage.

He knew that after returning to Xianyang this time, the world would change.

He also detested those alchemists who, relying on the Emperor's trust, were acting arrogantly in Xianyang.

He had long wanted to take action, but hindered by the Emperor's majesty, he had never dared to do so.

He could only watch and worry, always believing that those alchemists were a scourge.

And the culprit, Xu Fu, had taken so many boys and girls and left.

He had escaped a disaster so easily.

Now that the Young Master had risked his life to verify that this 'immortal pill' was poison.

He also had a great change in his perception of the Young Master. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
