"His Majesty......"
"Alright, alright, I know you've been injured. I specially sent someone to Laiyang to purchase some top-quality wound medicine. Take it and use it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Lin was deeply moved and accepted the wound medicine in the clean white bottle from the First Emperor's hands.
"You are without a guard by your side. If another sudden situation like this were to occur, I would not be able to know your situation in time and it would be difficult for me to react. Therefore, I plan to arrange a guard for you and put you in charge of a squad of personal guards."
"Ah? Your Majesty? You're being too..."
"Alright, stop talking. You are the Prime Minister of Qin, and you must control all the major affairs of Qin. You absolutely cannot have any accidents happen to you, otherwise the political situation will be unstable, the reforms will be difficult to continue, and I am so old that I don't have much energy to control the continued progress of the new policies. The reforms may very well fail at the last minute!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Looking at the sincere and earnest First Emperor, his eyes even reddened slightly.
"Alright, I know that Meng Tian's cousin, Meng Yin, is currently in Xianyang. He was originally Fusu's personal bodyguard, possessing superb martial arts skills and the courage of ten thousand men. Moreover, he is born with superhuman strength. In my opinion, his courage is no less than that of the traitor Xiang Yu. With him serving by your side, I think I can rest assured!"
"Huh? Mengyin?"
Li Lin shook his heavy head, seemingly unable to recall that such a famous figure existed at the end of the Qin Dynasty.
He had heard of the relatively unknown Captain Qi Jie, as well as Cheng Xin (Sima Xin) and Dong Yi.
This Mengyin is something I've never heard of before.
"What? Are you surprised?"
"That's not it, Your Majesty. I have truly never heard of Meng Yin before, and I am somewhat skeptical of his bravery!"
"Hahaha, you rascal, I kindly arranged guards for you, and you're already complaining about this and that!"
"Pfft!"
Man Yin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh, squinting her eyes and making a face at Li Lin.
"Your Majesty, why don't you appoint Commandant Qi Jie as my bodyguard, or perhaps Zhang Han would also be suitable!"
"Get out of here, you rascal! Do you think I don't know what you're up to? I know Zhang Han and Qi Jie well; they are both talented generals. How could I let a rascal like you become a bodyguard? Wouldn't that be a waste of their talents?"
The First Emperor would never entrust Li Lin, a man of great talent, with the position of a bodyguard. To him, that would be a terrible waste of talent!
"In that case, let Fan Kuai from Pei County become my personal bodyguard!"
"Oh? Fan Kuai?"
The First Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly remembering this person's name.
etc.
This person's name sounds familiar.
A few days ago, I seemed to have heard his name in this rascal's thoughts. Could he be another talented person?
No, no, no.
This kid's judgment isn't very good either. Isn't Han Xin just a pile of shit?
Forget it, I'd better not compete with this kid for Fan Kuai. What if he turns out to be a good-for-nothing? That would be a huge loss.
Having thought of this, the First Emperor immediately agreed loudly, "Good, you mean Fan Kuai from Pei County, right? I will send someone to find him for you right away!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Lin once again bowed deeply in gratitude. Others might not know how amazing Fan Kuai was, but he certainly did.
Fan Kuai was the man who could make Xiang Yu's face turn pale!
After all, not everyone could eat a bloody raw pig's leg in front of Xiang Yu.
Of course, he was unaware that His Majesty did not have a good impression of Han Xin.
If a large-scale war were to break out now, the First Emperor would probably change his opinion of Han Xin.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I previously stationed a village head named Liu Ji at the post station. However, I am currently injured and unable to move easily. I wonder if Your Majesty could summon him here?"
"Very well, I will send someone to summon him right away."
The First Emperor nodded. He never refused such a small request. Then he turned to Man Yin and said, "Man Yin, shouldn't we let Prime Minister Li rest and recuperate in peace?"
"Father, isn't this reunion between me and Prime Minister Li even better than a new marriage...?"
"Ahem, I don't care about other places, but this is the palace, and we must follow the rules. Let's go, Manyin, you have plenty of time, no rush!"
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is right. There's plenty of time in the future!"
"You! I hate you so much!"
She initially didn't react to Li Lin's words.
But when she saw the First Emperor's wicked smile, she immediately understood his meaning, blushed, stomped her foot, and ran out.
"You really are a rascal, I just can't do anything with you!"
The First Emperor chuckled and shook his head, then closed the door.
Li Lin was left behind with a look of anticipation.
[I'm about to meet Liu Bang. Sigh, I've stood him up for days on end. I wonder what Liu Bang, the future founder of the Han Dynasty and the gravedigger of the Qin Dynasty, will think of someone like me who stood him up.]
What?
The gravedigger of the Qin Dynasty?
At this moment, the First Emperor, who was about to take a step, suddenly heard Li Lin's thoughts and his eyes lit up.
The founder of the Han Dynasty?
The gravedigger of the Qin Dynasty?
What a prestigious title!
You little rascal, you're about to meet him?
etc!
