The reporters recruited by Fu Yao were very dedicated. They kept staring at the Li Xin's door and dared not relax.

Soon, their target appeared.

An old minister with gray hair named Wu Chi.

Wu Chi is not very high in office, but he is quite old, so everyone respects him. He is considered the number one figure in the court.

Even though there are some small conflicts in normal times, everyone doesn’t care about Wu Chi’s age. Unexpectedly, he met two demon kings, Li Shui and Li Xin, this time.

Wu Chi tossed and turned, but he didn't fall asleep all night.

Is it worth losing my life for the sake of face?

And this is not simply losing his life, but being sent to the Peacock Kingdom.

I don’t know what the situation is in Peacock Country.

The exiled immortal claimed that the Peacock Kingdom had been conquered, but...has it really been conquered there?

If the exiled immortal said it was false, the Peacock Kingdom had not been conquered yet, and when he got there, he would definitely be arrested immediately, and then tortured and had a different body and head.

If what the Exiled Immortal said was true, the Peacock Kingdom was the territory of the Qin Dynasty... So many strong soldiers just took a sip of water in the Peacock Kingdom and vomited and diarrhea, and fifteen of them died. This handful of their old bones...

Wu Chi fought a cold war and dared not think about it anymore.

In the end, he decided to give up his old face.

Wouldn't you just get a slap in the face? It's purgated after the slap. As long as you keep silent, there should be no big problem.

Thinking of this, Wu Chi disguised himself and arrived at Li Xin's doorstep.

When he came, it was just dawn and there were no people on the street.

Wu Chi was confident that he would not be discovered, but he didn't know that the reporters had already figured out the details of these court officials, and he remembered them well.

Not to mention Wu Chi's disguise, even if he covers his face, these reporters can infer about the same thing based on his figure and habitual movements.

With a click, a white light flashed by, and the reporter took a photo of Wu Chi.

Wu Chi obviously noticed the white light. He looked around in confusion, but did not find the reporter and camera hiding in the straw.

Then he raised his head and muttered in confusion: "Is it going to rain? There seemed to be lightning just now."

It doesn’t rain, and Wu Chi is too lazy to think about it now.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand, and patted the door of Li Xin's house.

The door opened quickly, and it was the butler Li Jia.

After seeing Wu Chi, he was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "Sir, please come in."

Wu Chi went in with a thick face.

In front of the servant, you always have to pretend that nothing has happened.

Soon, Wu Chi met Li Xin.

Li Xin welcomed him very attentively, took Wu Chi's hand into the living room, and then asked someone to have a tea.

The tea is very fragrant, and Li Xin has a good attitude, which gives Wu Chi some illusion, thinking that he and Li Xin have become friends, and this slap seems to be avoided.

The two chatted enthusiastically for a while, and Li Xin reached the point.

He smiled at Wu Chi and said, "Brother Wu is here today. Is there anything wrong?"

Wu Chi said with a tough bullet: "The exiled immortal gave the general a list of people who were going to send to the Peacock Kingdom. However... I am really old and I am afraid I can't go."

Li Xin said oh, looking at Wu Chi with regret: "What a pity, such a great opportunity to achieve success, I have no choice but to Brother Wu."

Wu Chi smiled awkwardly.

Li Xin said kindly again: "Brother Wu really doesn't want to go, that's fine, we don't want to force others to make things difficult. Brother Wu has made a lot of contributions to my Great Qin throughout his life. If he is old this year, he should really stay in Xianyang City and be safe."

Wu Chi's eyes lit up: "In this way, did the general agree?"

Li Xin smiled slightly: "Why do I disagree?"

Wu Chi stood up, bowed to Li Xin, and then hesitated: "Well, I'm...going goodbye?"

Li Xin smiled very friendly: "Brother Wu won't hurry up, let's slap first."

Wu Chi: “…”

You're so kind, you have to fight in the end?

Li Xin waved his hand, and Li Jia took a piece of paper, which seemed to be a price list.

Wu Chi saw it saying: Ordinary slap, one hundred thousand yuan.

Wu Chi was speechless and swallowed his anger and said, "General, I asked you to slap you, why did you still charge the money?"

Li Xin said: "Brother Wu, this 100,000 yuan is not the money for slapping in the face, but the confidentiality fee for you. If you get slapped in the face, I will never tell anyone. Of course, if you accidentally leak the secret, it has nothing to do with me."

Wu Chi was a little annoyed. This was not a confidentiality fee, it was clearly a threat. Didn’t Li Xin mean that if you don’t pay the money, will I reveal the matter to you?

Wu Chi nodded and said to Li Xin: "General Li, he is quite good at doing business."

Li Xin said proudly: "That's right, this general has learned a lot by his side of the exiled immortal."

Wu Chi thought to himself: It’s really a foul smell.

He continued to look and found that there was another one below: a senior slap in the face, 200,000 yuan.

Wu Chi asked, "What does this senior slap in the face mean?"

Li Xin lit up a thug like a palm-leaf fan: "A general is a military man, and he is quite strong. When he starts, he will inevitably be unable to restrain his strength. If he slaps in the face, Brother Wu's face may be swollen."

"If you choose advanced slap in the face, I have antiswelling medicine here, and I will apply medicine to you on the spot. It will take effect in half an hour, and no one can see any flaws."

Wu Chi: “…”

He wanted to cry a little: Are there such shameless people in the world? Wouldn’t it be enough to have a little bit of energy when you hit me?

He sighed and continued to watch, and found another one: the ultimate slap in the face, one million yuan.

This time, Li Xin took the initiative to explain: "The most lacking in this world is people who spread rumors and make trouble and catch rumors. Even if Brother Wu conceals it well, those people may spread rumors, saying that you were slapped by me."

"What should I do? As long as Brother Wu chooses the ultimate slap in the face, I will be responsible for refuting the rumors to you and proving to them that you have not been beaten by me."

Wu Chi suddenly recalled: "No. As long as I don't go to Peacock Country, doesn't that mean you beat me? What's the use of doing these hidings? Isn't that covering up the bell?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Brother Wu, don't worry, we have legitimate reasons for not going to Peacock Country. We are either too old or unwell."

"There are quite a lot of people on this list, and not everyone wants to go."

Wu Chi nodded and said, "Forget it, since that's the case, then choose to slap the face."

Li Xin was a little helpless and thought to himself: Why is this old man so stingy?

He sighed and asked thoughtfully: "Brother Wu is ready? I'm going to start."

Wu Chi closed his eyes: "Come on."

Li Xin swung his arm round and with a snap, a crisp and loud slap came out.

Wu Chi felt a thunder sound in his ears, and then half of his face hurt and numb, and then a sensation of burning feeling.

I gently touched it with my hands and it was already swollen.

Li Xin smiled honestly: "I offended."

Wu Chi also forced a smile and wrote an IOU worth 100,000 yuan.

Li Xin kindly asked: "Do you want to upgrade, pay another 100,000 yuan and apply some medicine?"

Wu Chi covered his face with his sleeves, shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to say goodbye now."

So he hurried outside. When he reached the door, he met another courtier.

The two of them raised their sleeves at the same time, covered their faces tightly, and then hurriedly left.

It is their greatest wish to meet each other.

…………

When it was noon, Li Shui got up.

Fu Yao did not leave last night, so at noon, he had dinner with Li Shui.

When they were halfway through the meal, they saw Xianglizhu coming in with a haggard face.

Li Shui asked with concern: "Are you sick?"

Xianglizhu looked at him wonderingly: "Why are you so kind today?"

Li Shui laughed dryly: "It's not a good intention. Your disease... isn't contagious?"

Xianglizhu said angrily: "I'm not sick, but I just didn't sleep well last night."

Li Shui said oh.

Xianglizhu said: "I have tested the oil you brought back overnight. This thing is indeed toxic, but it is stored properly and can be used after refining."

"I found that oil is made of different things. Through distillation, these things can be separated. I don't know how to use them yet, but they are definitely very useful. It is already very valuable for burning alone."
