Chapter 701
"Lao Cui! Lao Cui! Help! Hurry up and save me!" Early the next morning, Li Linfei was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard Yi Xiaochuan's voice shouting. He hurriedly dressed and, while yawning, followed the voice and went to the small span of courtyard where Yi Xiaochuan and Cui Wenzi lived.
"I say, Xiaochuan, what are you doing? Where's the soul calling? It's just dawn, why are you shouting for help? Didn't you and Meng Tian go to visit the Meng family army yesterday? In Xianyang, with Meng Tian and the Meng family army to protect you, who can do anything to you?"
Stepping into the room, but seeing Yi Xiaochuan was not sure what kind of madness he was in, panicking and packing up the medicine box for Cui Wenzi, he couldn't help but speak out and tease Once he saw Guo Dong, Yi Xiaochuan suddenly suddenly remembered something.
"Old Li! Old Li! Do you still have any anti-inflammatory medicine there? Do you have any topical Yunnan Baiyao and suture stitches?"
Li Linfei looked at him with a start, "What's wrong? Did you get cut up or did you cut someone up?"
"What? It's that madman Meng Tian, he's a madman, he actually stabbed himself with a knife and he stabbed himself twice! A madman, that's a madman!"
Li Linfei froze, and then looked over to Cui Wenzi who had just been woken up by Yi Xiaochuan at the side and somewhat failed to understand what was happening.
"Old Cui, Meng Tian is seriously injured, there's no time to lose, let's both go now!"
Because Meng Tian was injured, and because he had been so seriously injured by Yi Xiaochuan, Li Linfei pulled Cui Wenzi into his car without even thinking about it, allowing Cui Wenzi, a divine doctor, to see the industrial machines of 2,000 years later for the first time, and also allowing Xianyang City to make a scene because of this red tin monster.
"Shit! I thought you were going to die! It was a flesh wound after all that? That guy Yi Xiaochuan almost scared me to death with all that fuss!"
As a result, Li Linfei stepped on the gas all the way to the end and even drove his car through the gate of Meng Tian's house and rushed in, but when Meng Tian took a look at the injuries, although they were not light, they were all flesh wounds.
But they were all flesh wounds. For the scarred General Meng Tian, they were only minor injuries, as long as he didn't play with someone with a sword recently.
So while Li Linfei spat, he administered medicine to clean Meng Tian's wounds, and then sewed up his two wounds.
"Well? How is Meng Tian doing? Is he alright?"
As soon as Li Linfei and Cui Wenzi returned, Yi Xiaochuan immediately scurried over like a bolt of lightning and asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, he won't die, he'll be fine in ten days and half a month. All right, hurry up and pack up and change your clothes, we'll leave right away!"
Yi Xiaochuan let out a long breath and finally put his mind at ease, but then he reacted.
"Go? Where are we going?"
"Yushu has completely healed, so the Emperor of Qin is giving a big banquet to the ministers to celebrate, and by the way, he summoned the three of us to the palace to face the sage, to share the imperial banquet and at the same time, to reward the three of us."
Soon all three of them changed into new and clean clothes and entered the palace, Li Linfei even took his sword and shield with him somehow, and was almost arrested as an assassin and rebel when he entered the palace.
After taking off his shoes outside the palace and putting aside his belongings, especially his sword, he was led by the eunuch to find the three of them in their seats, and Yi Xiaochuan saw Meng Tian, who was talking and laughing with people without any abnormality and occasionally let out a mid-air laugh.
"The First Emperor and the Empress have arrived!"
"Long live my emperor!" With a shout from the eunuchs, all the people knelt down and shouted Long Live the Emperor, before rising and taking their seats at the command of Qin Shi Huang.
"Your Majesty, it is thanks to Your Majesty's blessings that my palace has been able to recover.
As the sky is the biggest, Qin Shi Huang is the biggest at the moment, so Yushu first gave him the first cup of wine to kiss his ass, before finding an excuse to mention Yi Xiaochuan.
"Your Majesty, I would also like to toast my elder brother and the two doctors to thank them for saving my life, especially my elder brother, counting this time he has already saved my life three times, this time he even risked his life to save my life without hesitation after hearing that I was sick!"
"I have granted permission, not to mention that the two doctors have cured Concubine's illness, but also that Concubine's brother has done several great deeds, each of which deserves a toast from Concubine! If I were not the emperor, I would have to join you in a toast."
No sooner had Emperor Qin Shi Huang's words left his lips than Fu Su rose to his feet, "Your Highness is also my mother's consort, and your brother is also my uncle, so father, I dare to ask your permission to join your Highness in a toast of thanks to your uncle!
Emperor Qin Shi Huang was delighted: "Good, good, my son is very understanding! I will allow it!"
Then Yushu and Fusu left their seats and went directly to Li Linfei with their glasses of wine.
As Fu Su was toasting on behalf of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and as he was a junior, it was only after he had finished his toast that Yushu withdrew her eyes from Yi Xiaochuan and stepped forward to raise her glass in front of Li Linfei: "Yushu would like to drink a toast to brother, thanking him for risking his life to save Yushu from death on several occasions!"
Li Linfei smiled and clinked his glass with Yushu: "In private, you call me elder brother, so naturally I cannot ignore you as my sister. In public, you are my Great Qin Concubine, as a citizen of the Great Qin, you must be loyal and serve your country!"
"Good! Uncle said well, Fu Su should drink to you again!"
With those words, Fusu toasted Li Linfei with another glass of wine! And at this time, Yushu also picked up a cup of wine once again and turned to look at Yi Xiaochuan and Cui Wenzi on the side.
"Many thanks to the two great doctors for saving my life!"
Yi Xiaochuan had been lost in thought ever since Yushu and Qin Shi Huang came together in the main hall. If it wasn't for Cui Wenzi who kept pulling him to kneel, rise and bow, and if it wasn't for Li Linfei who was still tall and kept in front of him so that others didn't notice his abnormality, he would probably have been dragged out and dismembered and split into five pieces by now!
So he didn't react to Yushu's toast at all, instead he even lost concentration and let go of his hand, the wine glass fell to the ground attracting everyone's attention.
Chapter 702
Fortunately, Cui Wenzi had long guessed that this thing would drop the ball, and instantly reacted by reaching out and kneeling down by pressing Yi Xiaochuan's shoulders.
"Your Majesty, my companion has never seen such a big scene before, and today, seeing Your Majesty's heavenly might for the first time, he is already sincerely frightened, so how can he dare to drink the wine toasted by Your Majesty again? I was so frightened that I dropped my cup, so I can see how majestic Your Majesty is in the hearts of your subjects. I beg Your Majesty to forgive us for our rudeness!"
Li Linfei raised his eyebrows and looked at Cui Wenzi, "Holy shit, this guy actually kissed his ass? Old Cui, where is your backbone? Where's your cheek?
But at this time, it was more important to help Yi Xiaochuan round up the situation: "Your Majesty, you are the true son of the dragon, the supreme being of the world, under the sacred power of your mighty emperor, your voice shaking Kyushu, my companion must have lost his mind because he was in awe of Your Majesty's heavenly power and holy face!"
Cui Wenzi immediately looked at him with the same oblique eyes as Li Linfei had just done.
But as the saying goes, a horse's ass doesn't wear a thousand clothes, so with Cui Wenzi and Li Linfei's two ass-kisses in quick succession that gave people goose bumps, Qin Shi Huang, who had just been a little angry, was overjoyed and laughed out loud.
"It would be strange if they didn't respect me so much! Get up, I do not blame you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cui Wenzi let out a long breath and hurriedly got up from the ground with Yi Xiaochuan to give a long bow.
"Rise, Your Majesty!"
As soon as Cui Wenzi and Yushu's hearts were put back into their stomachs, someone at the side stared at them for half a day before suddenly appearing before the court, immediately raising their hearts to their throats again.
"Your Majesty, I have recognized that the State Uncle and one of the two great physicians are the two warriors from Lanchi whom we have been searching for days!"
Qin Shi Huang's eyes glared, "What?" He took a closer look at Li Linfei and Yi Xiaochuan down below, but found that they were too far away and the light in this ancient hall was not very good, so he could not see them at all.
So he spoke, "Uncle Guo, and you, come here!"
The two men, one knowing what was going on, the other on tenterhooks, came to the nearest place to Qin Shi Huang at the bottom of the imperial steps, and Qin Shi Huang got up and paced down the imperial steps to the two men.
"Raise your heads, both of you!" After the two raised their heads Qin Shi Huang looked and saw that they were really the two men.
"I have not yet thanked the warriors for the good wine after a hasty farewell at Lanchi!"
Qin Shi Huang made a small joke with the two men, then turned to look at the civil and military ministers, "Dear ministers, these two men are the warriors from Lanchi that I have asked you to look for for days but have not been able to find. By the way, what are the names of these two warriors?"
"My names are Li Yun and Li Linfei!"
"My name is Yi Xiaochuan!"
Emperor Qin Shi Huang nodded and made Yi Xiaochuan the general of the palace guards, based on the two merits of saving the Emperor's life at Lanchi and curing Yushu's illness.
But in reality, there were only 300 to 500 men under his command, and he was the general of one of the many gates of the palace, and there were several others like him, not to mention the general of the forbidden army, the general of the guards who were in charge of the inner palace, not to mention the general of Qin Shi Huang's personal guards.
However, Yi Xiaochuan was a general after all, and after nearly angering Emperor Qin Shi Huang by resigning once, he was awakened by Yushu to the fact that this was his dream position, guarding the palace, which naturally brought him closer to Yushu and increased his chances of seeing her, even if he could only see her from afar, rather than in his dreams.
Li Linfei was not only officially recognised by Qin Shi Huang as his uncle, he was also given a generalship, a real generalship, because of his five great achievements!
"The five great feats of great merit are the rescue of the Emperor at Lanchi, which is one of the great feats; Princess Li was attacked by rebels when she entered the Qin Dynasty, and he helped the Mongolian army to repel the rebels, and even killed the rebel general, which is two of the great feats."
"This is the third of the great merits; escorting Concubine Li and General Meng back to Xianyang safely, this is the fourth of the great merits; risking his life to go to the palace to save Concubine Li despite the danger of the plague, this is the fifth of the great merits!
The First Emperor of Qin personally praised the merits, there were not many people in the whole Qin Dynasty who could claim such an honour, and each of these merits was not small, so when the First Emperor of Qin said the reward for Li Linfei, all the people felt that the reward was too heavy, but there was no objection.
"It's just as well. Secretary Wang Li will be leaving for the northern frontier to prepare for the Hu, and there is still no suitable candidate for the vacant post of General of Xianyang Garrison.
The general guarding Xianyang, the vacancy left by Wang Li, Li Linfei raised his eyebrows, it seems that he has tossed himself quite well during this period, this position is something he never dared to hope for at all!
He and Yi Xiaochuan were both generals, but there was no comparison between the two.
Yi Xiaochuan was one of the guards of the palace, just a gatekeeper, with only 300 to 500 men under his command, while he was the general guarding Xianyang City, and apart from the forbidden army in the palace, all the soldiers and horses in Xianyang and the surrounding counties were under his control, with at least tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand soldiers and horses.
He is definitely one of the most powerful armies in the Qin Dynasty, so to speak, Yi Xiaochuan is the head of the guard battalion of the State Council, while Li Linfei is the commander of the military district of the capital, according to the familiar division of ranks in the Tang and Song dynasties, Yi Xiaochuan is at best a fifth-ranked lieutenant or a miscellaneous general.
The difference between the two is so big that it is not even a second grade, but definitely not a third grade.
Chapter 703
The news that Li Linfei and Yi Xiaochuan had both been promoted to the rank of general spread like a storm throughout Xianyang City, and the palace was the first place to learn of the news.
Gao Yao, as the chief eunuch of the Inner Affairs Department, was among the top tens of thousands of palace eunuchs in the entire palace, so naturally he did not fail to get the news.
He was about to take Xiaoyue to congratulate Yi Xiaochuan as soon as he got the news, but then he hesitated!
"Yi Xiaochuan, Li Linfei, both of these guys are related to my family Gao Lan, so you can say that both are considered my brother-in-law, both are my own people."
"But these two guys are completely different, in terms of ability, Li Linfei is better than Yi Xiaochuan in every way, and is also the brother of the Queen Li, and is now not only the honorary uncle of the state, but also has in his hands the command of the 60,000 soldiers and horses guarding Xianyang, while Yi Xiaochuan is just one of the city gate generals of the palace, with only three to five hundred men."
He couldn't help but hesitate, not to mention the level of rank of the two men today and the amount of military power they hold, but it was enough to tangle him up in terms of his relationship.
"In terms of relationship, Yi Xiaochuan is only Gao Lan's boyfriend, and still an ex-boyfriend, while Li Linfei is a fiancé. In terms of friendship, although I have known Yi Xiaochuan for a longer time, this guy has never taken me seriously, while Linfei has always addressed me as elder brother, very respectful and very close."
"In terms of style, Yi Xiaochuan and I don't share the same philosophy at all, but Lin Fei is very compatible with me."
In the end, after thinking about it for the whole night and waiting until the next day after the two men had started to take up their posts, Gao Yao sighed and sent someone to prepare gifts and brought Xiao Yue over.
"My lord! Xiaoyue congratulates your Excellency on his promotion to the rank of general!" Li Linfei had just turned around in his general's official office and briefly familiarised himself with the layout when he suddenly heard a pleasant and clear voice from behind him and turned his head to see Xiao Yue standing at the door with a basket of fruits.
"Daughter-in-law ...... Well, Xiaoyue, what brings you here?" Li Linfei habitually shouted a daughter-in-law first to molest Xiao Yue, and only after looking at the other party glaring at him angrily did he shrug his shoulders and change his title.
But compared to the initial fierce opposition, Xiao Yue had now accepted it very well, so it could be said that Li Lin Fei's goal had been half achieved, all that was left was to wait until Xiao Yue was no longer a palace maid, and then he could completely get this big beauty!
"How come you're here by yourself? Where's that fellow, your old brother?"
Xiaoyue hummed lightly without good humour and threw the fruit basket directly at Li Linfei: "What for? You don't welcome me that much? If you don't welcome me, then I'll just leave!"
Li Lin Fei hurriedly threw the fruit basket aside, came over and hugged Xiao Yue, not waiting for her to react before he took a bite.
"Oops! What are you doing!?"
Xiao Yue was suddenly attacked by Li Lin Fei, like a frightened rabbit rushed to push him away, but not as when they first met, a single peak dunking ears swung over, which is a bit of a pity, sorry to watch the popcorn ah.
But from this you can also see how effective Li Linfei's various schemes and strategies have been over the past few days.
"I am using my actions to show that I am happy to welcome you or not!" Li Linfei smiled as he once again hugged Xiao Yue and gave her another fragrant bite.
"Oops, nasty you! How embarrassing it is to be seen!"
"Don't worry, I'm the biggest here, who dares to see what he shouldn't see, I'll send him to a man to guard the tomb, he'll die of loneliness even if he's not scared to death!"
Xiaoyue gave him a blank look, "Older brother asked me to go ahead when he left the palace gate, he went to Prince Yi's place, he will be there later. What's wrong? You're looking for Old Brother?"
Li Linfei shook his head, "Why not? Nothing is as important as having you in front of me, as long as you are there, the biggest thing in the world is not as important as me seeing you one more time. Besides, your brother is a total nuisance. Whenever you two came together, I was most annoyed with him being in the way, and he didn't even bother to hide away!"
"But although he's a bit of a nuisance, he's a good cook. If I don't have your brother at the helm of the meal to celebrate my promotion, the food will be inedible!"
"Good for you, Li, I've come to congratulate you with good intentions, but you're bad-mouthing me behind my back." Who had thought that just as his words fell, Gao Yao's voice had come in, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Gao Yao, who was pretending to have a sulking face, walking over quickly.
"What? Don't you know you're in the way? If you weren't so in the way, I'm afraid you could be looking forward to hugging your nephew right now, which is like now, ah~~ pain pain pain!"
Li Linfei shamelessly said, causing Xiao Yue, who was already blushing, to blush even more as if her pretty cheeks could drip blood at any moment, and then without hesitation, she gave him a fierce twist on his waist.
"Good! Sister, well done!"
Listening to Li Linfei's miserable screams, Gao wanted to feel that everything was so wonderful, and then thinking about what had just happened at Yi Xiaochuan's place, he felt more and more that Li Linfei was stronger and better than Yi Xiaochuan no matter what, and suddenly he even regretted a bit that he had just gone to Yi Xiaochuan's place to congratulate him.
"Hey, old brother, even if you came to be a light bulb, I was promoted to general, why did you come empty-handed? Where is my general's congratulatory gift? Where is my uncle's gift?"
Gao Yao grunted, "Gifts? No! I came here with a mouth to drink! Besides, isn't there a basket of fruit there? Not enough for you to eat?"
Li Linfei rolled his eyes in exasperation at Gao Yao, "Why have you become as shameless as me? Do my family Gao Lan know that you are so shameless?"
"That's my family Gao Lan!" Looking at the two people fighting with no regard for their status, Xiao Yue puffed on the side and let out a giggle.
"Forget it, even if I didn't bring a gift, you have to cook a big meal for me to celebrate my promotion to the rank of general, right?"
"No way! I'm a guest today! Have you ever seen a guest cook for you?"
Looking at the way Gao wanted to put up a front, Li Linfei smiled wickedly, "Are you sure?"
"Sure sure as well as sure! No go!"
Li Linfei sighed in mock helplessness, "Alright, in that case I'll have someone take some of the things I sent from the modern side yesterday back to my mansion, I'll cook and eat them myself then."
Gao Yao's eyes instantly lit up, "The modern side transmitted over ingredients?"
"Yes, a big sack of them!" Well, actually, these were all the ones Li Linfei had redeemed from the system, and they didn't cost much in the way of Godly Mansion points.
