Chapter 1147

After being stunned, Lu Sheng quickly said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty for reading the heavenly book! Just as the immortals said, only Your Majesty can see the mystery within! I truly admire Your Majesty's immortal power to the point of prostration."

"Is that so?"

Seeing Ying Zheng was noncommittal.

He asked Lu Sheng again, "According to your words, this so-called 'those who destroy Qin are the Hu'—who does the 'Hu' refer to?"

Lu Sheng fell into deep thought, "The 'Hu' might refer to a person, or it might refer to a tribe. Our Great Qin is rich and strong, with strong soldiers and sturdy horses. Relying on one person alone, it is difficult to pose a threat to Great Qin. Therefore, in my humble opinion, the 'Hu' might refer to the Hu people in the north."

"The Hu people in the north are ambitious and have been constantly invading our Great Qin's borders for many years; they can be said to be the great enemy of our Central Plains."

Seeing Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, "Your words have some truth, but this should be a statement you had already thought of!"

Lu Sheng was suddenly somewhat terrified.

"Your Majesty..."

He wanted to explain, but Seeing Ying Zheng did not give him a chance to explain.

"Although these statements were all made up by you, you can be considered to have guessed correctly by accident. The person who caused the fall of Qin is indeed related to 'Hu', but it is not the Hu people, but Hu Hai."

Lu Sheng was stunned again.

08

Of course, he knew who Hu Hai was—the eighteenth young master, once one of the most favorable competitors for the empire's successor. But earlier, because he intended to harm the eldest young master Fu Su, he was demoted to a commoner and then died.

Lu Sheng did not expect that Seeing Ying Zheng would interpret "those who destroy Qin are the Hu" in this way.

Lu Sheng wanted to say something else, but Seeing Ying Zheng said, "You may withdraw."

And so, Lu Sheng could only withdraw with deep depression.

After Lu Sheng left, Seeing Ying Zheng looked at the dark corner to the side and gently threw the scroll in his hand. A hand reached out and took the scroll.

Su Xuan walked out slowly from the dark, examining the scroll in his hand, and sighed, "Compared to Xu Fu, Lu Sheng still has some ability. Although it was by accident, it can be considered to have broken the heavenly secret."

"Oh? According to the State Preceptor, Xu Fu would be even worse?"

Seeing Ying Zheng was somewhat surprised.

The original Qin Huang had sent many people out to sea to seek immortality and the elixir of immortality.

Lu Sheng was one of them, and to speak of the real heavyweight, one had to count Xu Fu.

Xu Fu not only persuaded the Qin state to build a large ship for him but also took away thousands of boys and girls.

Su Xuan did not explain too much.

Seeing Ying Zheng could only suppress the curiosity in his heart.

After Lu Sheng returned, time passed for a long time.

Seeing Ying Zheng finally understood why Su Xuan would say that about Xu Fu.

He lived in Xianyang and would receive letters sent back by Xu Fu from time to time. In the letters, it was either encountering fog or encountering big fish blocking the way. In any case, because of various reasons, Xu Fu's itinerary was delayed, causing the large ship to never be able to return.

If it were the original Qin Huang, he might have believed this statement because he firmly believed that there were immortals overseas.

But now, the one occupying this body was Seeing Ying Zheng.

Seeing Ying Zheng's own world was much more mysterious than this one. At the very least, it could be determined that there were indeed immortals in the ancient times, and he himself had embarked on the path of cultivation. Not to mention living for a very long time, living steadily to one hundred years old was no problem at all.

So for Xu Fu's statement, Seeing Ying Zheng sincerely did not believe it. He immediately interrogated the person who delivered the letter with torture.

Finally, he pried the mouths of these people open.

It turned out that Xu Fu never intended to return from the beginning.

He knew that the talk of immortality was all a delusion. After cheating Seeing Ying Zheng out of a lot of money and thousands of boys and girls, he set sail. These letters were all prepared by him before setting sail.

He had people send a letter back every once in a while to make Seeing Ying Zheng firmly believe that he was still seeking immortals.

In fact, he did not return.

"Deserves to be killed!"

After knowing the whole story, Seeing Ying Zheng evaluated it like this.

The "deserves to be killed" in his mouth referred to both Xu Fu's people and Xu Fu himself.

At the same time, he felt more and more about this world in his heart.

Earlier, internal troubles were constant; in the imperial court, it was divided into two factions constantly fighting. If the Qin Huang still had ambition, it would be fine, but he was addicted to the immortal path, and many liars emerged one after another to deceive him.

In such a situation, it was no wonder Gao Yao would say that Qin would perish in the second generation.

"No wonder earlier, the State Preceptor would evaluate Xu Fu like that."

Seeing Ying Zheng looked at Su Xuan and sighed sincerely.

Compared to the many liars in this world, the State Preceptor of his own world was more reliable.

Compared to many liars who claimed that there were traces of immortals here and there, the State Preceptor was an expert who was truly walking on the path of cultivating immortality, only one step away from truly becoming an immortal.

"Hehe..."

Su Xuan smiled indifferently and did not say much.

Compared to these things, he was more interested in what Yi Xiaochuan wrote.
