Chapter 8 Fist of Rage Chapter 4

As for the posture in which Li Si fell from the roof to the ground, whether it was the Pingsha Luoyan style or the Yangguan triple-fold style, even Li Si himself didn't know, and naturally it was even more impossible to check today.However, this fall is not good, but it is certain.When Li Si woke up, he was in a daze for a moment, his bones seemed to be broken, and his eyes were white.After a long time, recognizable things began to appear in the vast expanse of whiteness.He recognized the head that was closest, it was the boss of Nilv, and he was looking at him with pity. Behind the boss, there was a room full of people, and everyone came for him.

Seeing that Li Si woke up, the boss finally breathed a sigh of relief. Those who run a shop do not want any customers to die in their shop.The boss turned around and said to the onlookers: "Go back. It's okay." No one was willing to leave, and the crowd became tighter.They were all looking forward to Li Si's last words or something. The boss said to Li Si: "You frightened us and thought you were dead." Li Si moved his pale lips and said weakly, "Hungry." The boss brought a bowl of soup and fed it to Li Si.Li Si couldn't express his thanks, so he fell asleep.The onlookers felt that Li Si's bed scene was not very good. It was all about eating and sleeping, but there was no stimulation, so they left in disappointment.Li Si was left alone in the room, curled up in the bed, more than two thousand miles away from home.He was alone in Xianyang, dreaming of his hometown for the first time.People with a strong will like Li Si are inevitably vulnerable when they are hurt and helpless, and they also hope to have a hug to rely on.In the dream, his tears flowed into a river, carrying the boat that brought him home.

Li Si slept for a full day and night, and when he woke up, he was full of energy, and the invincible expression appeared on his face again.Although his body was still in pain, he didn't want to wait any longer. He couldn't wait to conquer the person who conquered Qin.Besides, what he relies on is not his body, but his ambition, his wisdom.Today will be his big day, he gritted his teeth, bought an expensive banquet, and indulged himself in eating and drinking, which was regarded as an early reward. Li Si came to the Prime Minister's Mansion full of confidence.His thoughts at this time were very naive, thinking that with his own talent, as soon as he arrived at the prime minister's mansion, he would be immediately shocked by the prime minister Lu Buwei as a heavenly man and regarded as a guest of honour.When he got to the gate of Xiangguo's Mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little thumping in his heart.The courtyard wall of Xiangguo Mansion is more than five feet high, and the gate is open, which is unfathomable.Tall and mighty warriors with halberds stand in two rows, and the gate is wide enough to allow two rows of carriages to drive side by side.Li Si pretended to be relaxed and said to himself: "It's pretty impressive." His voice was controlled just enough for the warriors to hear.

Li Si pretended to be familiar with the way, and rushed into the prime minister's mansion, but the warrior stopped him sharply: "Who is it?" Li Si had to stop, and said in a high voice: "Li Si of Chu, please see the prime minister." The warrior was fierce He stared at him blankly, and scolded: "I don't know the rules. You can see Xiangguo if you want?" Li Si asked puzzledly, "What rules?" The samurai saw that Li Si didn't look like someone who couldn't afford to offend, so he didn't bother to talk to him. "Go away!" The warrior shouted with a loud voice.

Li Si was trembling with anger, his eyes glared at the warrior like fire.The samurai interpreted Li Si's eyes as a kind of provocation.When the samurai faced provocation from someone he could not afford, he responded by kowtowing.And to the provocations of those he could afford, he responded with fists.The samurai, together with his colleagues, beat up Li Si leisurely in front of the mansion of Prime Minister Qin.From the beginning to the end, Li Si lay on the ground without saying a word.From the day Li Si made up his mind to go to Xianyang, he was already a person beyond the body.He embarks on a solitary and courageous adventure in another dimension of his life.

The warriors didn't dare to make a scene in front of the Xiangguo's mansion, so they beat Li Si to 70% to 80% of their lives, and then stopped, dragged Li Si away from the gate of the Xiangguo's mansion, and threw them at the base of the wall not far away. Among a group of unidentified people lined up along the courtyard wall of Xiangguo Mansion.The group of people were like wood sculptures and clay sculptures. They didn't even raise their eyelids when Li Si came.They were absent-mindedly rummaging through the ragged padded jackets they were wearing, lazily catching lice, and then sneaking them into the padded jackets of the people next to them.

Li Si leaned against the base of the wall, his body covered in blood, panting and coughing.The person next to him grumbled and complained to him: "Shut up the fuck, you just got beaten! Don't cough endlessly, it makes me upset." Li Si smiled wryly, looked at the man, and Suan Mianshan asked, "Brother Gao's name?" "My surname is Qian, and my name is Gingyan." "beggar?" "You are the fucking beggar, and your whole family is a beggar." Li Si was not angry, and asked again: "You are not a beggar, why are you sitting here?"

"Just like you, I'm waiting to see Prime Minister Lu Buwei. Look around, who here doesn't want to meet Prime Minister Lu Buwei and use his sharp tongue to win the position of Shangqing? But the Prime Minister is very honorable. , I have no money, no family background, and no contacts, so it’s hard to see him, let alone have a chance to talk to him.” "How long have you been waiting?" "Four years. Four years of wasted time." Someone next to him snorted disdainfully, and said: "I have only waited for four years, and I have waited for twenty years. I have squatted at the door of the prime minister's residence of five prime ministers before and after. Who dares to be worse than me?"

Another person interjected: "It's just bad for heading the ball? If you want to blame me, I have to be counted. I think that when Fan Ju first arrived in Xianyang, I invited him to dinner. I thought that after this kid became the Prime Minister, he would always pay him a visit. He will take care of and support me, an old friend. Unexpectedly, after Fan Ju's success, he would have forgotten me as an old friend long ago. Pulling out a hair to help an old friend is nothing to do. Hehe, these bastards , When you first become an official, the first thing you do is to be ungrateful."

The words fell silent, and someone answered immediately: "You just invited Fan Ju to have a meal. When Cai Ze came to Xianyang, he was penniless and a country bumpkin. If it weren't for me, he would have starved to death like a dog." It’s on the streets of Xianyang. It’s me who pays for his food and shelter, and finds a tailor to make decent clothes for him. Without me, how could he have the chance to be a prime minister? Hey, don’t mention the past. Everyone, wait patiently Bar." Even though he had just suffered a severe beating, Li Si felt that these people in front of him were more pitiful than himself and more worthy of being despised.For a hope that may not exist, they exhausted their youth and lost their loved ones while waiting.Li Si shouted loudly: "Are you waiting for Xiangguo, or are you waiting for death?"

One of them smiled sadly and said, "If you don't wait for your time, you will lose your life. What can you do if you don't wait?" Another person sighed: "If the phoenix and the bird don't come, and the river doesn't show the map, I'm dead!" Li Si thought discouragedly, could I also be reduced to the same level as them?No, absolutely impossible.What are the words "If you don't use your time, you will lose your life if you are poor", or "If the phoenix and the bird don't come, if the river doesn't come out of the map, I'm dead!"Indeed, if waiting had been the solution, tortoises would have ruled the earth long ago.Be vigilant, if you are not careful, sitting still will become waiting to die.Li Si didn't want to stay with these losers for a moment, and he didn't want to be stained with their shameful mold.He leaned on the wall, stood up inch by inch, and walked towards the gate of Xiangfu again. No one expressed the slightest surprise at Li Si's departure.They are arguing about new topics: "When Xiangguo's carriage passed by the day before yesterday, he lifted the curtains and took a special look at me." "He looked at me twice! Once with the left eye, and once with the right eye." "Bah. He was obviously looking at me. He has been staring at me affectionately all the time. I was blushing from his stare at that time." These words spread to Li Si's ears along the wind, making Li Si want to gag.The words of these scholars who have no dignity and no shame are so similar to the resentful concubines in the harem who are desperately looking forward to the emperor's blessing!Terrible power, not only allows you to be lucky with women, but also allows you to be lucky with men.
