Through Time Chapter 15

“The right use?”

The Emperor froze for a moment when he heard this.

In his mind now, he just wanted to cut this group of warlocks to death by a thousand cuts!

Zhao Lang smiled and said that

“Father, actually alchemy is a technical job.”

“There is still a lot of learning in it, just the wrong direction.”

“If I had this group of warlocks in my hands, I could get them to make some extremely powerful weapons.”

The original gunpowder in China was invented by this group of warlocks who liked to put everything in the furnace.

Although Zhao Lang didn’t know the exact recipe of black gunpowder, he knew those few ingredients, which were all relatively common items.

Just let these warlocks take their time to research.

This great killing weapon fits right in with the elite army strategy.

Not to mention, these warlocks are also excellent primary chemistry teachers.

All talents for this era.

Pity it’s going to be all cut out.

When Qin Shi Huang heard the words extremely powerful weapons, his expression changed slightly and he said that

“It’s alright, I’ll look around town then too, maybe I can find some warlocks and send them over to you then.”

Zhao Lang nodded indifferently, such things could be desired but not sought.

But he quickly frowned and asked.

“Father, do you know why the government wants to kill the warlocks?”

This timing was too sensitive, he had just said that warlocks were bad, only to come back and hear his old dad say that warlocks were going to suffer.

Qin Shi Huang gave a self-deprecating smile and said that

“The Qin Emperor is brutal, what reason is needed to kill a few warlocks.”

Zhao Lang instantly clicked his tongue, that was quite a reasonable statement.

“Alright, rest well one of these days, I’ll be back in some time.”

After Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, he took Zhao Gao and Li Si and prepared to leave, Zhao Lang hurried to follow.

“There is no need to see them off.”

Qin Shi Huang raised his hand and said.

Zhao Lang, however, followed anyway.

“Something wrong?”

Qin Shi Huang asked.

When he had asked Zhao Lang not to send it two days ago, Zhao Lang had not been polite with him.

Sure enough, Zhao Lang smiled with a little embarrassment and said

“Father, my 10,000 taels of gold, don’t you forget it.”

Qin Shi Huang’s face darkened slightly as he returned to.

“Don’t worry, you won’t get less money.”

“Many thanks father, I won’t see you off then.”

Only when he received an affirmative answer did Zhao Lang leave in good spirits.

He was going to find Hef, having been kidnapped once, and still had to hurry to get his little guard set up.

He went straight to the small courtyard where Hef and the others lived.

Surveyed the courtyard.

It was okay, it didn’t compare to where he lived, but it definitely wasn’t harsh on the other side either.

At that moment, Hef and the others happened to be in the courtyard discussing something.

“My lord, what brings you here, just call us if you need anything.”

Hei Fu saw Zhao Lang and hurriedly said.

“Uncle Hef, I have something that I need you guys to help me with.”

Zhao Lang opened the door and said.

These people were all old men inside the manor, and there was no question of loyalty.

Moreover, he would not say that he wanted to rebel now, when the time came, even if he did not want to rebel, these people would force him to do so.

“Your Excellency, please give the order.”

Hef returned at once.

“I want to form a small guard of my own, and I need help finding men, and you to help me train.”

Zhao Lang spoke generally about his idea.

The few people in Hef looked at each other and suddenly laughed out loud, saying

“My lord, we have thought of the same thing as you.”

They had just gathered together to discuss this matter.

“My lord, we are old and all five of us have failed to protect you, and it is already a grace that you have not blamed us.”

“Now that our children are all half grown, it’s time for them to contribute to the village.”

Hef returned, and

“Then we brothers will go back today and bring the boys from home tomorrow.”

Hef and the others had fields of their own, but it was not so easy to be farmers in the Great Qin.

Now that they had the chance to go into the farm, of course, it could not be better.

Zhao Long even brightened up, this was really just when he wanted to doze off, a pillow was sent to him.

And this kind of white paper-like young man was to his liking.

Greatly delighted that

“Well, well, as many as there are, I’ll take them all.”

The two sides immediately hit it off.

Having settled the issue of personnel, Zhao Lang once again found Uncle Fu and told him his requirements.

He wanted to build a small training ground.

Just as Zhao Lang was busy directing the craftsmen, Qin Shi Huang had returned inside the palace.

“Your Majesty, I will leave you first.”

Li Si saluted.

He was a foreign minister and it was inconvenient for him to stay overnight in the palace.

“Do not tell anyone about these few days.”

Qin Shi Huang said indifferently, and Li Si withdrew.

Inside the palace, only Qin Shi Huang and Zhao Gao were left.

Qin Shi Huang was silent for a while before he spoke quietly, saying

“I only have three or five years left, it’s a bit too short.”

After this time, he believed Zhao Lang 90%.

As soon as Zhao Gao heard this, he fell straight to his knees and

“Your Majesty is sure to be ten thousand years old! Old slave will go and announce the imperial doctor now.”

But Qin Shi Huang waved his hand and

“It is only a matter of lingering.”

“Give me 20 more years, and I will be able to wipe out the Xiongnu, the West, the Goguryeo, the Huqiang, the Baiyue, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the Hundred Schools of Thought.”

“I will build my Qin dynasty for ten thousand years!”

The Qin emperor’s heart was filled with resignation.

He was the First Emperor of China, and he saw that a ten-thousand-year kingdom was just around the corner, but he did not expect that his time would be numbered.

“Fusu was too much of a woman, and Confucianism destroyed him.”

“Hu Hai was stubborn and unfit for greatness.”

“Not to mention the rest of the sons.”

Qin Shi Huang said, with a touch of self-deprecation.

“I’ve really been a failure as a father.”

Zhao Gao, who was standing by, hastened to advise

“Your Majesty’s heart is for all the people, so it is inevitable that you will not be able to take care of them.”

Qin Shi Huang shook his head and

“I never thought that a demented child I had raised outside had surprised me.”

Zhao Gao’s face, however, still had that sad look on it, but his heart moved.

By now, Qin Shi Huang had returned to his cold look and said that

“Go, cut out the tongues of all those warlocks, and you find an opportunity to send them to Long’er.”

“And instruct the local officials not to interfere with anything on the estate.”

“Also, strengthen the protection.”

Zhao Gao wrote down Qin Shi Huang’s instructions one by one, then withdrew.

It was not until late at night that Zhao Gao returned to his quarters and exhaled slowly.

Thinking back on his experiences over the past few days, he could not help but whisper.

“This day, it’s going to change.”

Inside the house of Li Si.

Li Si sat in his study, wondering what he was thinking about.

After a while, a servant was called in and said to

“Go and get Ling’er.”

A few moments later, a bright-eyed young girl came into his study and

“Father, what is it that you are calling your daughter over at this late hour?”

Li Ling’er said with a yawn.

Li Si looked at his youngest daughter and said.

“Ling’er, this year is also sixteen, right, being all day at home, nothing to go out for a walk.”

“I know a place…”
