The Great Qin Dynasty: The egg of the Black Bird was revered as a national guardian beast.

"So, did you find out?"

Black Dragon Guard prison, in front of the prison gate.

Xuan Ye stood there, looking at the only remaining Confucian scholar lying in the prison, and asked this question.

"This..." The newcomer looked troubled.

But in the end, he shook his head: "No."

Xuan Ye turned around, his eyes lowered, and fell on the person who had just arrived. The person took a half step back.

He quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "We will investigate as soon as possible!"

"Never mind." Xuan Ye shook his head and said, "I'll ask him myself when he wakes up."

He then turned around and looked at the man in the cell.

For some reason, this time, when the Confucian scholar was used as a test subject for the medicine, all the others who took the elixir of immortality died, but one person survived.

Although he survived, he fell into a coma.

Therefore, he ordered the Black Dragon Guard to investigate what had happened to this person recently and to find out the whole story about him.

Figure out why he didn't die after taking the elixir of immortality!

He waved his hand, signaling the people behind him to step back, but at that moment, the Black Dragon Guards behind him raised their heads.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Or..."

"Hmm?" Turning around, Xuan Ye's cold eyes fell on him, and he asked, "Or what?"

He raised his hand, clasped his hands in front of him.

He lowered his head and said, "Perhaps it's because this person is a descendant of a clan, and one of his ancestors was the son of the Duke of Qin."

He was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding, but then, as if he had thought of something, a hint of excitement appeared on Xuan Ye's face.

He murmured, "I understand..."

As he said this, he raised his head and laughed in the empty prison: "Haha, I understand!"

Xuan Ye had never been so happy.

This is because he has figured out why everyone else died after taking the elixir of immortality, while he alone survived!

This is because...

He is a descendant of the imperial clan; his ancestor was the son of the Duke of Qin!

The ancestors of Qin originated from a fallen egg. Although they were not related to the First Emperor by blood, they were still descendants of the Black Bird!

As a result,

After taking the elixir of immortality, everyone else died, but he was the only one who survived, which makes perfect sense.

Or perhaps it's because the others are not descendants of the Black Bird, and do not possess the Black Bird's blood, so they cannot withstand his divine blood?

Or perhaps, only the descendants of the Black Bird can achieve immortality.

But whatever!

As long as the First Emperor could live forever, that was enough. As for anything else, Xuan Ye had no interest in knowing.

But now, it's not time to rush to send the medicine to the First Emperor.

This person fell into a coma after taking the medicine. Let's find out what happened first before sending the medicine to the First Emperor.

Looking at the man lying in prison.

He smiled, then left.

His voice came through: "Send men to guard him day and night. If anything unusual happens, report it immediately."

"yes!"

.............

"This is your certificate; keep it safe."

Outside Xianyang City,

A guard passed the certificate over.

Opposite him stood a man holding a sword, followed by a woman, who looked around with a hint of curiosity.

"Han Xin, is this Xianyang?"

Upon entering Xianyang, the streets along the way were filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, and the bustling crowds created a lively atmosphere.

Compared to Huaiyin, the two are worlds apart.

He smiled.

Han Xin carefully put away the verification document.

The law states that without a valid permit, one may not enter or leave the pass or ferry. If they travel far from home, they will never reach Xianyang unless something unexpected happens.

But Han Xin was fortunate enough to be noticed by a nobleman.

When the magistrate of Huaiyin County learned that he was coming to Xianyang, he immediately ordered that a warrant be prepared for him to use for passage.

After a long journey, we finally arrived in Xianyang.

"Indeed, this is Xianyang." He lowered his eyes and thought to himself, "This is where I, Han Xin, will rise to prominence!"

He led Ji Tao towards Xianyang City.

"Steamed buns, steamed buns."

"Come and see, these are top-quality mung beans, buy some!"

"Hey, top-quality bone hairpins and brass earrings, all at affordable prices! Come and pick one out!"

Walking through the bustling market,

People on the street held Qin Banliang coins, picking and choosing, and the cries of vendors along the way were endless.

"Hey Han Xin, come here quickly."

Ji Tao pulled Han Xin to a stall selling ornaments, picked up a bone hairpin, and held it up to her head.

He looked at Han Xin and asked, "Is it good-looking?"

Han Xin stood there holding his sword, not having had a chance to speak yet.

The stall owner smiled and said, "Young lady, you have a good eye. The hairpins here are the most affordable in the entire Xianyang city."

"It's made from the finest cow and sheep bones, polished to a shine, and it's strong enough to hold your hair securely for three to five years without breaking!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured.

"Only two Qin half-ounce coins for one, what a bargain!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Tao put down the hairpin. At this price, another one could buy a bushel of millet.

Seeing this, the stall owner wanted to lower the price even further.

"Tap tap tap".

But then, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the distance of the street, and a group of people rode into the city.

People on the road quickly moved aside and stood on both sides.

After the group of people rode away, the people by the roadside gradually gathered together and talked in hushed tones.

"Hey, who's this?"

"The murderous aura emanating from him is chilling to look at."

At this moment, a middle-aged man said, "I know, this is General Meng Tian, ​​he's back!"

"What?"

Exclamations of surprise rang out as the crowd gathered together to discuss the matter.

Han Xin, standing to the side, held his sword, watching the people talking and then watching Meng Tian and the others walk away.

But a surge of fighting spirit rose in my heart!

One day, he too will achieve such military exploits and become a general known to all. Only then will his life have not been in vain!

He turned around and looked at Ji Tao, who was holding his hand.

He chuckled, led him toward the vendor, took out two Qin half-ounce coins from his pocket, and tossed them over.

"I want this hairpin."

The stall owner immediately beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly.

Ji Tao wanted to say something more, but Han Xin seriously tied it to her head.

Han Xin smiled and looked at her.

"I didn't give you anything for our wedding, so please accept this hairpin as a token of my appreciation."

Shyly lowering her head, Ji Tao remained silent.

Afterwards, Han Xin took Ji Tao to an inn and asked her to stay there for the night.

Alone, he arrived in front of a government office.

She slightly raised her eyes, then lowered them again, her hands clenched tightly, and finally she raised her head.

He stepped forward and went.

Facing the guards stationed in front of the government office,

He shouted loudly, "Han Xin of Huaiyin has come here as agreed, requesting an audience with the Imperial Physician!"

"Please inform us!"

.............

Inside the government office, Xuan Ye was staying.

The First Emperor has gone on an eastern tour, and now only Fusu is left in the palace, so he no longer wants to go.

After leaving the Black Dragon Prison, we arrived at this place.

Since the elixir of immortality was effective, he used the remaining medicinal materials to refine another batch.

However, just as the lid of the cauldron was closed.

Then a guard ran in, knocked on the door, and after receiving permission to enter, began to report.

"Doctor, someone outside requests an audience!"

He stood before the furnace with his hands behind his back.

He waved his hand dismissively. "I'm not seeing you. Can't you see I'm busy? Don't you want your salary anymore?"

"But...."

Lang Wei hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"This person said... he came at the invitation, and fearing that he might have a past relationship with you, I came to inform you."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ye seemed to remember something.

He turned around, his eyes falling on the man. After a long silence, he asked, "What's his name?"

He claimed to be Han Xin of Huaiyin.
