Chapter 890

Seeing Ying Zheng left the residence where Li Mu lived.

He was not in a hurry to let Li Mu make a choice.

Li Mu is a person with real talent and learning after all. For such a capable person, it is only right to give him some preferential treatment. Seeing Ying Zheng did not mind giving him some time to consider it carefully.

Of course, due to the emergency at the border, the time given to Li Mu to consider~ was not much.

Seeing Ying Zheng believed that Li Mu would give him an answer-.

Whether it is to go and attack the Xiongnu for the descendants of Huaxia, or to take his lifelong learning and die in the residence, a result will be given at that time, and this result will also determine Seeing Ying Zheng's view of Li Mu from then on-.

After Seeing Ying Zheng left, Li Mu picked up the military book again, preparing to continue reading it. It must be said that paper is a good thing. Military books that used to require many scrolls of bamboo slips to record can now be carried entirely in a thin stack of booklets.

However, for some reason, Li Mu's heart became chaotic, and he could not focus his attention on the military book.

Seeing Ying Zheng's words kept echoing in his heart.

When he learned that the State of Zhao was destroyed, he was very sad, and it could be said that his hair turned white overnight.

That was the saddest moment of his life.

He once thought about dying with the State of Zhao, but in the end, he didn't do so.

Because he wanted to see how far the Qin Guo could go?

Was its ambition stopped by the other states in the east? Or did it swallow the states in the east step by step? Facts proved that the states in the east were indeed not very good. After the Qin Guo destroyed Zhao, in just a few years, they were successively destroyed by the Qin Guo.

The Qin Guo even unified the world and accomplished an unprecedented thing.

At the same time, over these years, he had also been closely watching the situation of the people of the six states in the east whose countries were destroyed.

He originally thought that after the Qin Guo destroyed the six states in the east, it would treat the people of the six states in the east as slaves and enslave them in every way. As a result, it was unexpected. The Qin Guo treated the people of the six states in the east equally. As long as they followed the laws and regulations of the Qin Guo, they could also enjoy all the benefits enjoyed by the people of the Qin Guo.

Over these years, although there have been ambitious people trying to restore their countries, the common people at the bottom actually live better than they did during the time of the six states. A large factor in this is that the Qin Guo valued the Mohists, improved many agricultural tools, liberated productivity, and increased grain production.

Even Li Mu had to admit that after the destruction of the State of Zhao, the people of the State of Zhao lived better than before.

However, can the hatred of destroying one's country really be let go so easily?

He once swore to serve the State of Zhao and protect the State of Zhao, but in the end, he could only watch the State of Zhao be destroyed, unable to do anything.

This is the greatest regret of Li Mu's life.

But immediately after, another sentence of Seeing Ying Zheng flashed in Li Mu's mind.

"The descendants do not plot against Xia, and the barbarians do not disturb Huaxia!"

No matter what the Qin Guo is like, the Qin Guo destroying Zhao is always a family affair of the descendants of Huaxia. When the State of Zhao was powerful in the past, it also conquered the Qin Guo. But the Xiongnu are barbarians worthy of the name. How dare mere barbarians invade Huaxia? Do they really think there is no one in the Central Plains?

Li Mu thought in his mind, and at the same time, he inevitably despised the Qin Guo.

Although the Qin Guo is strong, it is only good at fighting among themselves. The Qin Guo is good at conquering the six states in the east, but it must not be very good at fighting against the Xiongnu, which is why they found him, a dead man.

Since the Emperor of Qin came forward in person and found him, he would show kindness and help the other party.

In an instant, Li Mu made a decision.

The matter of Li Mu making a decision was soon known to Seeing Ying Zheng.

Seeing Ying Zheng came to Li Mu's place again.

Even if Li Mu insisted that he was fighting for the Huaxia clan and would not allow foreign barbarians to invade the Central Plains, there was still a sea of blood and deep hatred between the Qin Guo and the State of Zhao. Seeing Ying Zheng did not care about these words. What he cared about was only that Li Mu was willing to come out of retirement.

In Li Mu's residence, after talking with Li Mu for a while, a few days later, a carriage came to Li Mu's residence.

Li Mu boarded the carriage and headed towards the northern land he was once extremely familiar with.

This was also the first time he had left Xianyang in these years.

On Penglai Xianshan.

Su Xuan and the others were delayed here for a long time.

Su Xuan and the others tried to bring back some living plants of the many strange flowers and fruits on the immortal mountain, wanting to see if they could be planted in the Central Plains. As for the ancient trees that could not be taken away, they also tried their best to find seeds and bring them back.

At the same time, after identifying the medicinal properties of these medicinal materials that had grown for thousands of years on the island, Su Xuan and the others also picked them as much as possible without harming the mother plants, preparing to refine them into elixirs.

0 ········Seeking flowers···· ····

These medicinal materials, after being identified by Duanmu Rong, Zinu, and others, were confirmed to not have the ability to grant immortality.

In other words, the record in Liezi that there are fruits growing on Penglai Xianshan that can grant immortality after being eaten is just Liezi's conjecture.

Also, if there really were an immortality medicine, why would the Yellow Emperor, the later Emperor Yu, and Jiang Taigong die?

Everyone had seen Jiang Taigong's corpse.

After knowing the truth, some people were very disappointed.

But Duanmu Rong did not have such disappointment. On the contrary, she was very happy.

Not only because many of these strange flowers and fruits were species not found in the Central Plains, but also because their medicinal properties were beyond Duanmu Rong's expectations.

Take the Nine-Spring Jade-Leaf Flower as a comparison.

An ordinary Jade-Leaf Flower is already a rare medicine rarely seen in the world, and a Jade-Leaf Flower that has grown nine leaves is a priceless miracle drug. Even a dying person can be brought back to life with it.

And the medicinal materials here, having grown for thousands of years, each one can be compared to the Nine-Spring Jade-Leaf Flower, and some are even better.

Not to mention that they also possess various strange medicinal properties.

Duanmu Rong is confident that if she can research them thoroughly, her medical skills can advance to an unprecedented realm, and surpassing her master Nian Duan no longer seems to be a delusion.

On this day, after sending the last batch of medicinal materials to the Mirage anchored in the outer sea of Penglai Xianshan.

Su Xuan and the others had completely explored Penglai Xianshan.

It was time to leave here.

Although they had long known that such a day would come, when the moment of parting truly arrived, everyone's mood was inevitably somewhat complex.

Since setting sail, it had already taken more than a year.

This is not a short period of time. At the beginning of the journey, it was very boring, and on the way, they also experienced desperate things, that is, the previous immortal mountains were in a state of dead silence, but on the whole, the result was good.

They finally climbed Penglai.

And now, they are leaving!
