Chapter 471 Poison Pill
"Dissolve this pill in water and give it to Emperor Xin to take. Once this is done, you can retire with success."
"Master, will this pill directly poison Your Majesty?"
"Of course not, you don't need to ask any more questions, just do as you are told."
After the call ended, Su Daji opened the box. There was a small golden pill inside, exuding a light fragrance. If you look carefully, you can find that there is a petal carved on it.
Yes, the second sage from the West used the third grade of the twelve-grade golden lotus to refine three elixirs.
Only one was given to Su Daji. With such an important thing, Jie Yin and Zhunti would naturally not place all their hopes on Su Daji.
If they don't succeed, they will die personally.
This elixir is actually not very useful. After all, the Golden Lotus of Merit is not a medicinal material. Using this thing to make medicine is definitely a waste of money.
But the two sages of the West have no way. If they want to disintegrate the power of merit in Di Xin, they must use the same source of power, that is, the power of merit can work.
There are so many objects in the world that have the power of merit. At least in the hands of the two sages of the West, there is only a twelfth-grade golden lotus with merit. No matter how reluctant you are to part with it, you have to use it.
Once Emperor Xin takes it, the power of merit he has accumulated will disappear in an instant, and the final national destiny of the Yin and Shang Dynasties will also be eliminated.
By then, the Battle of the Gods would be over.
Without luck, even if all members of Jiejiao were dispatched, there would be no way to save the day.
The reason why the two sides are now fighting inextricably is because Ji Fa possesses the Nine-Fiveth Supreme Fate and the Qi of the Heavenly Spirit, while Yin Shang still has some residual luck, so the battle is so tense.
If it were not Ji Fa, but the other three princes, they would have been wiped out by the Yin Shang with their overwhelming momentum.
In the same way, if the Yin Shang Dynasty had no luck, it would be equivalent to destroying the country, and naturally there would be no battle.
In the room, Su Daji looked at the elixir and hesitated for a long time.
After getting along with Di Xin during this period of time, she must have seen that Di Xin had indeed changed and was different from the previous life.
But the memory of the past was still lingering in her mind, and she could not forget the violent and fatuous King Zhou who was a drunkard and a rich man.
"Since the master said he won't die, it should be... fine."
Su Daji sat quietly in the room, waiting for the hot water to boil. According to the previous time, she carried a pot of tea and walked to Di Xin's room.
After finding Di Xin inside, she put the elixir in from the box.
Gently opening the door, Di Xin was the only one inside looking at the bamboo slips. She tried to remain calm and knelt down beside him as usual, pouring him a cup of tea.
This elixir is colorless and odorless after being dissolved in water. Even if a god came to take a look, he would not be able to tell anything.
Di Xin didn't have the slightest doubt about her, nodded lightly, picked up the tea cup and was about to drink.
"His Majesty!"
Just as the tea was about to enter the mouth, Su Daji shouted out of nowhere.
"What's wrong?" Di Xin asked in confusion.
"Tea...tea is hot."
"Oh, I'll drink it later."
Putting down the tea cup, Di Xin continued to read the bamboo slips. As usual, Su Daji picked up the small wooden hammer next to him and hit Di Xin on his back to help relieve his fatigue.
At this time, Di Xin actually noticed it, because Su Daji kept knocking on the same place, which was different from usual.
Coupled with the weird reminder just now, he was already as clear as a mirror.
But he said nothing, looked at the tea on the table, and stretched.
Then, using her wide cuffs to block Su Daji's sight, she secretly took a cup, poured another cup of tea, and put it into her backpack.
He took out his membership card and gave the cup of tea to Taishang Laojun, asking him to help with research.
Di Xin felt that since someone wanted to use Su Daji's hand to poison him, it would not be something simple, so it would be better to be cautious.
During this period, Di Xin also picked up the teacup from time to time, teasing... ah no, testing Su Daji.
The result was also obvious. Whenever he picked it up to drink, Su Daji's small wooden hammer would be a little heavier. When the water reached his mouth, she was not tapping, but hitting hard.
If he hadn't gotten in good shape at the playhouse these days, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand these few blows from her.
[The old gentleman who loves alchemy: "Di Xin, that cup of tea is indeed interesting. For some people with shallow blessings, it is a great tonic, but for you, it is indeed highly poisonous."]
[The Prodigal Son Di Xin: "What will happen if you drink it?"]
[The old gentleman who loves alchemy: "The power of all the merits and virtues will be gone, and even the luck associated with you will be taken away with you, that is, the luck of the Yin and Shang Dynasties and a trace of the Qi of the Emperor."]
[The Prodigal Son Di Xin: "I understand, thank you very much, Laojun."]
[Laojun who loves alchemy: "You're welcome, I'm still very interested in this kind of elixir thing, so welcome to bother me."]
This cup of tea did give Laojun a lot of inspiration. It turns out that elixirs can not only fight poison with poison, but can also fight with tonic.
After the call ended, Di Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He heard them talking in the game room yesterday, saying that the saints from the Western religion would definitely take action against him and asked him to be careful.
Unexpectedly, if he attacks so quickly and dissipates all his merit power and luck, wouldn't it be as good as death?
Di Xin thought for a long time, pulled Su Daji aside, and asked with a smile.
"I drink this tea. What benefits does the Western religion promise you?"
Snapped!
The gavel in Su Daji's hand fell to the ground. Her eyes widened, and her beautiful little face was full of fear.
"You...you can see it?"
"Haha, it's hard not to see it."
Su Daji's whole body felt like a deflated rubber ball, and suddenly it withered.
"Master said, after everything is done, give me the status of Bodhisattva."
"that is it?"
"Um."
"Stop contacting that master. I'll give you something better later."
"Yes... huh?" Su Daji was stunned, raised her head and asked, "Your Majesty, won't you kill me?"
Di Xin smiled and said with a relaxed look: "Of course not."
Not to mention that Su Daji's behavior just now didn't look like she was going to poison herself. Even if she succeeded, she wouldn't kill her.
Di Xin had already prepared for this kind of thing. Just like the day he first came back, he was prepared to be beaten to death by Wen Zhong with a whip, let alone Su Daji who wanted to poison him.
"Go back and have a good rest."
After ordering Su Daji to be sent back to the room, Di Xin looked at the teapot and put it into his backpack, maybe it would come in handy at some point.
Then continue to look at the bamboo slips.
These bamboo slips were not government affairs sent by Chaoge, but plans given to him by Qin Shihuang. They were some of the initial reform plans of the prefecture and county system in the early years of the Qin Dynasty.
It is more suitable for him now. If he directly uses the complete plan of later generations, it will be a bit inappropriate. It is best to do it step by step.
"Huh~"
"If the enfeoffment system is directly abolished, the eight hundred princes will definitely not cease their troops. Even if Xiqi is pacified by then, the war will still not stop, and..."
"I can't do anything to them."
Di Xin had a sad look on his face, and he felt guilty. Even if he won the Battle of the Gods, he would not take any action against the four major princes, let alone the other small princes.
Once the policy is promulgated and war breaks out again, there may be another fratricidal war.
"If you want to implement the enfeoffment system, you must be a man of literary and military skills like the First Emperor Tang Zong, who can intimidate the princes with his prestige and power, so that they have no choice but to obey."
"My prestige is no longer enough to lead the princes. If Ji Fa wins this battle..."
