Through Time Chapter 3

As soon as his own cheap old man left, Zhao Lang opened the Godly Choice System.

“The host has completed the mission, do you wish to claim the reward: special soldier physique.”

“Claim!”

As soon as Zhao Lang’s words fell, a warm stream flowed through his body.

A sense of power came from his body.

“This special soldier physique is a bit strong.”

Looking at his arms that had become sturdy and shaking his fist again, Zhao Lang was still a little bit secretly happy.

“I’ve got the special soldier physique, and I’ve got the gold ten thousand taels.”

“Let’s go check out the situation of the Zhuang first, then we can make plans.”

Zhao Lang got up and walked towards the door, ready to take a good tour of his stately home.

Out the door was an extremely spacious courtyard with an atmospheric and rustic style.

The room where Zhao Lang was located was on a higher ground, and standing on the steps, a glance though could not see the full view of the stately home.

But just by looking at the cascading roofs, one could tell that this manor was definitely not small!

It was indeed a house of great wealth and nobility!

Zhao Lang could not help but reveal a smile on his face as well, and said to Uncle Fu, who was guarding the entrance.

“Uncle Fu, show me around.”

“Yes, Your Excellency.”

Uncle Fu looked down at Zhao Lang with a complicated expression and nodded in response.

Uncle Fu’s mood was actually extremely complicated because he couldn’t see the family head’s attitude towards the gongzi.

If it was said that the family head liked the Duke, then why didn’t he identify himself and then bestow the Duke with a palace and a title.

But to say that he didn’t like him, the family head had given the dominant power of the manor to the duke and had to send over ten thousand taels of gold.

“If I could have guessed what the family head had in mind, I wouldn’t have stayed here.”

Uncle Fu thought to himself, anyway he just did what the family head told him to do.

The two of them then began to tour the entire estate, surrounded by servants.

Only the more Zhao Lang looked, the more astonished he was that the manor was surrounded by rammed high walls and some defensive measures.

The servants in the house were also all strong and powerful.

It was more like an armed fortress than a manor house.

Seeming to see Zhao Lang’s surprise, Uncle Fu took the initiative to explain.

“My lord, nowadays, although the world is unified, there are still many wild people and bandits in the countryside, and these are the norm in the stately home now.”

The family head did not allow him to reveal his identity, so naturally he would not say much.

As for the servants on the stately home, apart from the core members, no one else knew who the real owner of this stately home was either.

And this was also true, now that the Great Qin had been unified, but it had only been a short time since the end of the chaos, everyone’s sense of preparedness was still very strong.

“No wonder my own cheap old dad wasn’t too surprised when he heard himself say that he had to prepare early, it seems that the big families have always had such a sense of preparedness.”

Zhao Lang nodded thoughtfully.

Soon, Zhao Lang also got a rough idea of the situation of the manor.

There were nearly 800 acres of fields around the manor, and hundreds of farmers attached to the manor below, so it could be considered a veritable big landlord.

“This is not a bad start.”

Zhao Lang nodded his head in a fairly satisfactory manner.

Of course, in the face of the coming chaotic world, this point of strength was definitely not enough.

“My lord, what did you say?”

Uncle Fu at the side was puzzled.

“Nothing.”

Zhao Lang returned with a smile.

“Uncle Fu, I want the details of the Zhuangzi.”

First, he wanted to find out his strength so that he could make plans.

“Yes, old slave will give have someone send it to your room.”

Uncle Fu quickly agreed to.

And at this time, the Great Qin Palace, inside a palace.

Qin Shi Huang was standing alone in the middle of the palace.

Next to him was a small rabbit that had just died.

Looking at the dead rabbit on the ground, Qin Shi Huang looked hard to understand.

After standing alone for a long time, he slowly shouted out

“Zhao Gao.”

Almost instantly, the door of the palace was opened and a large eunuch walked in.

Addressing Qin Shi Huang, he said.

“Your Majesty, the old slave is here.”

Qin Shi Huang said in a bland tone at that moment.

“Go and imprison all those warlocks, and in addition, recall Xu Fu.”

When he heard the order, Zhao Gao’s body shook violently, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

One must know that that group of magicians were normally the most valued by Qin Shi Huang.

No matter what requests were made, as long as they were for the purpose of refining the Immortal Pill of Immortal Life, Qin Shi Huang would definitely meet them all.

But today, after coming back in a hurry, he asked for a live rabbit and then came to this palace that was normally used for cultivation.

He stayed inside by himself and did not allow anyone to enter.

And now, as soon as the door was opened, he actually wanted to imprison these warlocks!

And to recall Xu Fu, who was preparing to go out to sea in search of the Immortal Mountain, this was too big a change!

Shocked as he was, he did not dare to be slack and hastily replied.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

In no time, two teams of iron hors*men left the palace.

After giving this order, Qin Shi Huang sat in the palace, not saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

The whole palace also became incomparably quiet, and everyone became cautious.

Zhao Gao waited on the sidelines, not daring to make a sound.

Outside the palace, he was the famous eunuch Zhao Gao.

But in front of Qin Shi Huang, he was just a dog.

“Zhao Gao, do you believe in ghosts and gods?”

Qin Shi Huang suddenly asked after a long silence.

Zhao Gao thought of the wording in his mind before he carefully said.

“Your Majesty, when the old slave was a child, he naturally believed in them.”

“But now, Your Majesty is the old slave’s god, and the god of this great Qin.”

Hearing the reply, Qin Shi Huang gave a laugh and said.

“This dog, to the extent that he can speak.”

Zhao Gao hurriedly said.

“Old slave, every word is from the heart.”

Qin Shi Huang waved his hand and said.

“All right, it is useless to ask you.”

“Go, send Li Si into the palace.”

“Yes!”

Zhao Gao slowly retreated, and it was not until he had left the palace that he said to the young eunuch guarding the door.

“Go and proclaim Prime Minister Li into the palace!”

Then lowering his voice again.

“Tell him that His Majesty asks the ghosts and gods.”

The eunuch dared not delay and hurriedly ran outside.

Qin Shi Huang did not have to wait long before Li Si, dressed in his official uniform, arrived outside the palace.

“I, pay my respects to Your Majesty.”

Li Si curtsied to.

Qin Shi Huang nodded in response.

After the courtesy of the ruler and his subjects was completed, Li Si then asked.

“I wonder what is the reason for Your Majesty’s urgent summons?”

Qin Shi Huang asked directly.

“I wonder if the Prime Minister believes in ghosts and gods?”

Li Si pondered slightly and returned.

“In reply to Your Majesty, although I am a legalist, I know that the son does not speak of strange forces.”

“This matter of ghosts and gods is mostly a matter of people pretending to be gods and goddesses.”

Qin Shi Huang laughed and said.

“Are you worried that after I indulge in immortality, I will indulge in the talk of ghosts and gods again?”

Being told off by Qin Shi Huang, Li Si was not the least bit ashamed, but said with a straight face.

“Your Majesty is wise and wise, how could you suddenly have this doubt.”

Qin Shi Huang shook his head and said.

“I will take you to see someone tomorrow, and you will know why I have this question.”
