Chapter 69: Can you really swallow this thing?
Through the huge ice coffin wall, you can even clearly see all the details inside.
The magical level of this ice coffin amazed the First Emperor.
The First Emperor suddenly turned around and asked, "If I really die, use the ice in this room to make an ice coffin and bury it deep underground."
"Do you think it is possible to last for thousands of years without decaying?"
Faced with the Qin Shi Huang's soul-searching questioning, Xiao Hei and a group of Black Ice Platform secret guards remained silent.
They were just servants and knew it was not appropriate to interrupt at this time. At the same time, they were also paying close attention to the boss's response.
Dahei, the leader of the Black Ice Platform, thought for a moment and then replied, "I am not very knowledgeable and cannot predict whether this ice can last for thousands of years without melting."
"But with your majesty's great achievements and majestic power, even in another world, you must be a hegemonic existence!"
"Furthermore, your majesty has an extraordinary talent for cultivation. He has broken through to the Grandmaster level in just two months. He may reach the level of Grandmaster in a few years, and then enter the realm of heavenly beings. Perhaps he will soon be able to achieve immortality in the flesh and enjoy eternal immortality."
"By then, Your Majesty, why should you worry about what happens after death?"
When the First Emperor heard this, his eyes were fixed on Dahei's face for several breaths. If he found any mocking intention in him, he would immediately order him to be executed.
However, Dahei remained serious from beginning to end, and his words seemed to be stating irrefutable facts.
In the end, the First Emperor was succumbed to his own doubts.
"I feel bad for letting you take the position of leader of Black Ice Platform!"
"That's it, let's go."
The First Emperor was filled with emotion.
"I have seen this ice coffin. Although that boy may have a rebellious heart in private, he has put a lot of effort into making such an exquisite ice coffin."
"Come with me and take a look."
"This year is a time of famine. The nobles may still be able to have enough food and clothing, but I wonder how many of my people are starving to death?"
The First Emperor sighed.
"Thinking back to the days when famine struck, the entire Qin State suffered greatly. I had no other options except to lead troops to conquer other countries to relieve the urgent need."
"Now that the six kingdoms have all been annexed by our Qin, there is no more ground for conquest. Although the northern grasslands are vast, they are more barren than ours. Conquering them will not solve the problem of hunger."
"I wonder if today, in the Great Qin territory, facing famine, can the people survive as tenaciously as they did in the past?"
"I'm afraid all the grass roots and tree barks in the wild have been dug up..."
Dahei remained silent, knowing full well that there was no need to respond to these words, and he could only listen to the king's worries.
The three men walked out of the Ice Palace, and the First Emperor deliberately changed into civilian clothes, claiming that he was going on a "secret visit."
Experience the true face of the country firsthand so that you can better govern the country after returning to the throne. After all, only by conducting in-depth investigations can you have a say.
The three men in cloth clothes came to the corner of the street. Before they stepped into the street, they heard all kinds of noises.
"Make way, be careful, don't let my manure truck splash all over you!"
"Boss, please take care of the manure cart for me. Don't let anyone steal it. It's my lifeblood!"
"Hey, hey, hey, watch out, dog of yours, if you dare to eat my shit again, I'll report you to the police!"
The First Emperor and Dahei looked at each other, full of curiosity about the lively scene before them.
In years of famine, shouldn't people try to reduce physical exertion and stay at home?
Or should the streets be filled with begging sounds?
Even if there were people flowing out, they should have rushed out of the city, dug up grass roots, peeled tree bark, or even went up the mountain to find food. Why were all these people shouting about feces?
The three of them turned the corner and stepped into the street.
Before they could come to their senses, a pungent stench hit them in the face. A sturdy, dark-skinned young man was pushing a wheelbarrow full of fresh feces and rushing towards the outside of the city happily.
Little did he know that three figures suddenly appeared at the corner of the street, catching him off guard.
"Get out of the way!"
He was horrified, but in his opinion, it was too late. The three people appeared so suddenly that they were about to run into him.
In a hurry, he tried his best to turn around, but he forgot that this was a unicycle that could easily overturn.
In addition, the situation was urgent, and what he wanted in his mind was not to hit anyone, but to try his best to protect the precious feces...
In a sudden and sudden turn, the front of the car deviated from its direction in an instant and was about to fall to the ground tragically, resulting in a tragic accident with the car destroyed and many people killed.
The black boy's face turned pale and he exclaimed: "Oh my God! This is my shit!"
At this critical moment.
The three men on the opposite side reacted as fast as a leopard, and Dahei flashed in front of the First Emperor like a black lightning.
He took a defensive posture, ready for any possible assassination.
When Xiao Hei saw that the vehicle loaded with the reincarnation of grains was about to overturn, he knew in his heart that the fall of the vehicle was not a big deal.
But in such a narrow space, if those filth splashes onto Your Majesty's dragon robe, it would be a heinous crime of disrespect.
So he took a step forward without hesitation and acted as fast as lightning to steady the tipping manure cart.
However, due to the strong inertia, a little bit of dirt still splashed out and landed on Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei's face instantly turned even darker than his name.
The frightened black boy, after stabilizing the dung cart, cursed: "Can you be more careful when walking? You almost knocked over my dung. Can you afford to pay for it?"
Then he hurried away pushing the manure cart.
Shi Huang and Dahei looked at each other again, bewildered.
They looked at the streets and alleys again, and were shocked to find that every few dozen meters there was someone happily pushing a cart or half a cart of feces, and some even raised the price on the spot and shouted out their wares openly.
This scene left the First Emperor and his two companions dumbfounded.
The First Emperor covered his nose with one hand and asked in astonishment: "Secret Guard, what exactly happened in the past two months?"
"Isn't there a famine in our Great Qin? Why are these common people like they are racing after dung carts?"
"I have only been in seclusion for two months. Could it be that the people have developed new ingredients?"
Looking at the people pushing manure carts and running on the streets, Ying Zheng found it hard to accept for a moment.
Are the people of Daqin so hungry now?
Why is this so!
Are we going to use such dirty things to make food?
I even didn't have time to look at the road while running!
The two black boys beside him were also dumbfounded at this moment.
Recently, both of them have focused on protecting the First Emperor's breakthrough and have not paid attention to the developments outside.
But no one would have expected that the people were so hungry that they were even starting to fight over this thing.
This thing... can I really swallow it?
Suddenly, the leader of the Black Ice Platform seemed to have thought of something.
"Your Majesty, this is not right!"
The Emperor frowned slightly when he heard this: "You can just call me Master outside!"
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
