Chapter 9 Chapter 5 A brush with death

Li Si didn't try to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion again, he just stood coldly in front of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, his calm and contemptuous eyes flicked over the faces of the gatekeeper warriors one by one, he looked very slowly and carefully, he had to remember Every face.In the near future, he will turn these eight warriors into eight corpses, so as to declare to the world: Li Si is by no means a person who can be bullied and insulted.Even these warriors who have always been cruel and merciless, could not help feeling chills in their hearts when they were exposed to Li Si's gaze.In this young man, there is actually a stronger and more domineering aura than Xiangguo Lu Buwei.This kind of aura is to men, just like temperament is to women, it can be born innately, but may not be cultivated in the day after tomorrow.

Li Si began to speak, "You mediocre people, how dare you despise me! Those who rely on you to humiliate me are just brute force ears, but now you are a watchdog, and you have got your place. Don't you hear that one person's argument, It is better than the treasure of nine tripods; a three-inch tongue is stronger than a million soldiers, this is what Li Si relies on. If Li Si uses things, the Prime Minister will not be able to save you from disaster, and you will die." The words went far away.Frightened by Li Si's arrogance, the eight warriors looked at each other and forgot to stop.And the group of decadent scholars who lined up along the courtyard wall of Xiangguo Mansion applauded Li Si loudly. Such cruel words were held back in their hearts for a long time, but they dared not speak out because of their cowardice.Now when Li Si was full of energy, he scolded and reprimanded him with a humiliated body, they listened from a distance, and felt very happy.They applauded and cheered for Li Si. As for whether Li Si's ruthless words could be turned into reality, these scholars didn't care. They thought that Li Si, like them, put down these ruthless words just for the sake of instant oral pleasure.

They were wrong, very wrong. Li Si suffered two serious injuries in succession, and it was a miracle that he was able to support himself and walk back to the reverse journey.Seeing Li Si's return, the boss of Ni Lu was so frightened that his face turned pale, so he hurriedly asked the doctor not to mention it. Li Si recuperated on the sickbed for nearly two months before his body gradually recovered.During this period, there were several times when he felt that he had died, left his trivial body, and walked into eternal silence, surrounded by complete and absolute emptiness, untouchable, and unreliable.He was terrified, but could not cry out; he fled, but in vain.The pre-rehearsal of death made him more aware of the necessity of survival.In my opinion, most of those who can achieve great things and establish great careers have had similar near-death experiences.Comparing those who have experienced death and those who have never experienced death, there is a big difference in their living posture.The former lives to die, the latter lives to die.

Medical expenses in Xianyang are not cheap.Han Fei gave Li Si dozens of gold, half of which Li Si kept with his wife and children, and half of which came to Xianyang.After three months of food, clothing, housing and transportation, plus the high medical expenses, Li Si was already penniless. Even if he wanted to go back to Shangcai, he could not afford the travel expenses.He seems to have no choice but to trap Xianyang to death.Fortunately, the eyes of the businessman are discerning, and the boss of Ni Lu has the same vision as Lu Buwei. He believes that Li Si is a national treasure-level talent with rare goods to live in, so he generously allows Li Si to pay for meals and hotel accommodation.Because of this, Li Sifang was able to survive in Xianyang dismally.

Before meeting Zheng Guo, Li Si had been in such a situation: good education, fervent imagination, great ambition and extreme poverty.
