A knife in love

Li Qiufeng listened to the old man in gray talking about the past, at the beginning he was quite impatient because the old man in gray was rambling and digressing a lot, but he knew that he couldn't turn against the old man in gray right away, so he patiently listened to the old man in gray. It wasn't until the gray-clothed old man told the story of Xu Fu's journey to the east that he realized that what the gray-clothed old man said was related to Fusang National University, and he immediately paid attention.It's just that Murong Danyan and Ye Fengchun, who were hiding behind the big black fish's body, were far away, and could only see Li Qiufeng's back, but couldn't hear what he was saying to the old man in gray at all, and felt quite anxious.Murong Danyan held the long sword in her right hand and clasped more than a dozen silver needles in the palm of her left hand. She made up her mind that if the four swordsmen behind the gray-clothed old man moved slightly, she would use lightness kung fu to pounce forward, and the gray-clothed old man would rush forward first. The old man in clothes subdued, and then dealt with the four swordsmen.

The old man in gray went on to say: "The fire burned for dozens of days and created an open space more than a hundred miles away. Xu Fu found a big river thirty or forty miles away from the coast, and ordered his disciples to build a stone city on the bank of the river. Before going to sea, Xu Fu secretly sent people to buy a lot of iron tools for building the city, which came in handy at this time. A few months later, the stone city was built, and houses were built in the city for the people to live in. At that time, together with three thousand virgins, three Including thousands of virgins, Xu Fu and his party consisted of almost [-] people. After moving into Shicheng, the city was quite lively. Xu Fu proclaimed himself the lord of the city, with a few trusted alchemists as his retainers, all the disciples as minions, boys and girls as the common people, and lived a happy life Carefree, very beautiful.

"When Xu Fu was planning to escape from the middle land, he had already thought of establishing himself as a king overseas. However, if he is a king himself, if he has no subjects under his command, he can only be a laughing stock. Therefore, before he went to sea, he had already thought of bringing some men and women with him. Going together, in this way, after arriving on an overseas island, these men and women can be their own people, multiply and thrive, and look like a country. But if you want to take adult men and women with you, they may not be willing to leave their hometown and go thousands of miles overseas Even if they are willing to follow him to live overseas, but once they have different ideas, he and the hundreds of disciples under him may not be able to suppress the rebellion. After thinking about it, Xu Fu plans to take boys and girls with him. , will not be nostalgic for their homeland, and dare not be an enemy of myself. I can do my best to make these children devoted to me since childhood. When they grow up, they will naturally be my own people willingly. At that time, I can be at ease Be emperor with peace of mind.

"Xu Fu's calculations are very thorough. After arriving in the Fusang Kingdom, the wind and the water are smooth, and he is much more comfortable than when he was in the Middle Earth. As the saying goes, the people are not enough, Xu Fu built the stone city to be as solid as gold, and the population in the city multiplied and prospered day by day. Xu Fu's ambitions have also grown, and he sent people to search around, and when they encountered natives, they were captured back to the city and used as slaves for themselves and their retainers to drive. Within ten years, the population under Xu Fu's rule had reached 6 to [-] He built seven cities within [-] li around him, and the retainers he sent to be the lords of the cities ruled the cities. These retainers should regard Xu Fu as their lord and pay food and taxes to the cities where Xu Fu lived, or Send someone to help Xu Fu build a new city and reclaim the land. Xu Fu sits in the palace and orders him around like an emperor.

"Decades later, the boys and girls that Xu Fu brought to Fusang have all grown up, and many of them have become retainers of Xu Fu and the city lords of various cities. Like Qin Shihuang, he is obsessed with immortality. He thinks of ascending in the daytime, becoming a fairy, hiding in the deep palace where he lives, building a pill furnace, and refining golden pills. But where is there any magic medicine for immortality in the world? Xu Fu's creation What he did was the same as that of Qin Shihuang in the past. He added medicine to stimulate the soul in the golden elixir, and after taking the golden elixir, he went berserk, not only ravaging the maid who served him, but even the wives and daughters of his close officials , and later, he extended his claws to his daughter-in-law. All of a sudden, there was a lot of anger and hatred, and people's hearts gradually dispersed."

The gray-clothed old man sighed at this point, and then continued: "Since ancient times, dynasties have been changing constantly. When many emperors first came to the throne, they saw the rise and fall of the previous dynasties and still had good thoughts in their hearts. Dare to imitate the appearance of the former emperors. But once the world is at peace for a long time, he will become tired and enjoy himself, and gradually he will be no different from the former emperors. If there are one or two treacherous ministers by his side to fuel the flames, what will he do? The evil is even worse than the foolish king of the previous dynasty.

"Xu Fu established himself as the king in Fusang Kingdom. At the beginning, he was able to work hard to govern, but later he became extremely tyrannical, cruel and despicable. At that time, he had 29 cities under his command, tens of thousands of armored soldiers, and countless people. The city lords of each city They are all Xu Fu's cronies. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Xu Fu is a sinister and cunning person. How can his confidantes be any better? At the beginning, these people were afraid of Xu Fu's power. The imperial subordinates surrendered to Xu Fu, and later they each held power, and they had retainers and soldiers to help them, and gradually became dissidents. When Xu Fu was old, fatuous, tyrannical and lawless, he oppressed these city lords extremely cruelly, making everyone The city lord felt resentful, secretly resentful, thinking that Xu Fu could stand on his own as king, I have soldiers and generals in my hands, as well as the city and the people, why can't I be king like Xu Fu, but have to be bullied and oppressed by him?! The more these city lords think The more annoyed they were, several people secretly colluded together, planning to fight against Xu Fu as soon as the time came.

"Xu Fu behaved mischievously in the deep palace. He didn't even know that there were murderous intentions lurking around him. He thought that one day he would be able to refine the elixir. From then on, the celestial blessings would be enjoyed forever, and he would be domineering for generations. It's just that he was too lewd and cruel. Even his sons hated him to the bone, and hoped that he would die soon so that he could inherit the throne. Finally, one day, Xu Fu molested the wife of the fifth son in the palace. This woman was very staunch. Fleeing back to his own home, the more he thought about it, the more ashamed he became, and he hanged himself in a fit of anger. Xu Fu's fifth son had hated him for a long time. Seeing his wife's tragic death, he couldn't stand it anymore, and sneaked into the palace with his cronies, drinking Xu Fu, who was drunk and sleeping soundly, was tied up. The crowd originally wanted to kill Xu Fu with a single knife, but Xu Fu's fifth son hated him to the utmost, and didn't want him to die so happily, so they ordered someone to cut him off first. Xu Fu's hands and feet were so tense that he couldn't move, and he used an iron chain to penetrate his shoulders and lute bones, crippling his martial arts, then hung him naked on a high pole, and beat his body with oil-soaked thorns , made up my mind to torture him first, and then execute him!"
