my grandfather was qin shi huang

Looking at Xu Fu, who seemed calm but was actually as nervous as a bowstring, Ge Yun smiled.

"Of course I won't miss Master Xu Xian's important event. Don't worry, everything you need has been prepared. After you finish this, there will naturally be a ship to pick you up. As for whether you are going south along the coast, go to the ordinary place in the south. We don’t care whether you stay on the island temporarily or where you go to live happily..."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hide this plan from the emperor's grandson. Once he finds out..."

Thinking of Zhao Ying's eyes that seemed to be able to see through him, Xu Fu shuddered in his heart, and he started to shrink back from his already unsteady thoughts.

Seeing that Xu Fu was still hesitating at this time, Ge Yun could not help but have a trace of imperceptible sarcasm flash in his eyes.

This person is greedy by nature and doesn't know how to restrain himself. However, he prefers to be strategist and indecisive, doing great things but not caring about his own life. At this point, he still wants to back down, which is simply stupid. However, the smile on his face was a little bit brighter.

"It's not like the Immortal Master wants to betray the imperial court, abscond in fear of crime, and won't let him go no matter what..."

"When things are done tomorrow, you can explain to the Fourth Young Master that you need to go deep into the sea, serve the immortals, and pray for His Majesty day and night. The Fourth Young Master will definitely agree happily..."

Having said this, Ge Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of ridicule flashing in his eyes.

"If Master Xu Xian does it right, he might even get a generous reward..."

Xu Fu felt the war between heaven and man in his heart, and couldn't help but clenched his fists subconsciously. He hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind.

"I want to take away those five hundred boys and girls..."

Ge Yun nodded slightly.

"This is a small matter, just follow the instructions of the Immortal Master, but there are some joints that require the Immortal Master's cooperation..."

The night was dark, and inside the tent, the lights were like beans.

The two conspired for a long time until late at night. Ge Yun, who was wearing a black robe, quietly left Xu Fu's tent under the cover of night.

……

The next morning.

Prince Gao personally led everyone to the shore and watched the accompanying soldiers carrying gold and silver to the ship, as well as some special products found on the island.

These ships will carry the goods they have collected during these days, led by General Lu Matong and Ge Wei, the third of the three brothers of the Ge family, and transport them back to Xianyang.

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, as well as various rare and rare objects from the Central Plains, will certainly greatly ease the pressure on the imperial treasury, and I think it will be easier for Aweng from home.

When he thought of the relaxed smile on his face when he saw the money, Master Gao couldn't help but reveal a smile that he couldn't hide.

I can finally share Ah Weng's worries and solve his problems like my elder brother once did!

While he was watching his soldiers carrying them to the ship, he suddenly saw Xu Fu walking quickly toward him with a few guards.

"I've seen the young master——"

As if he had not seen the Ge brothers standing behind Gongzi Gao, Xu Fu walked up to Gongzi Gao with a solemn expression and bowed deeply.

"Master Xu Xian came here in person, maybe there is something I need to tell you..."

Young Master Gao stretched out his hand to help Xu Fu with a smile on his face.

Xu Fu stood up and glanced at the large ships filled with gold and silver goods inadvertently, then calmly looked back at Young Master Gao, who was full of joy.

"Young Master, last night, I received instructions from an immortal in my dream, saying that your merits have been perfected, and the elixir will be given to you in the near future, so that you can prepare early..."

When the young master heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

I can no longer take care of the gold and silver goods being loaded onto the ship.

"Master Immortal, please tell me what preparations I need to make. As long as I can ask for the elixir of immortality for Your Majesty, I will accept anything -"

Xu Fu bowed.

"The immortal said that the medicine of immortality should not be given lightly. He must build a nine-foot-high platform on the sea, with red gold as the foundation and silver as the platform. It will be decorated with jade and jewelry around it. Grains will be sacrificed. The minister will lead five hundred boys and girls. Only by being sincere and upright, bathing and burning incense, and praying day and night for three days can you gain something..."

Gongzi Gao nodded heavily without hesitation.

"But, everything is according to the immortal's words!"

After speaking, he looked at the soldiers who were carrying gold and silver to the ship and gave the order directly.

"My order is that these gold and silver goods will not be sent to Xianyang for the time being. From now on, they will all be handed over to Master Xu. You must obey the command of Master Xu -"

Lu Matong was taking his people to count the quantities of the goods on the ship one by one, when he suddenly received this order and was a little confused.

But the young master had a high order, and he did not dare to disobey it, so he immediately walked out of the boat with a few soldiers.

"I dare to ask you, Master, if something happened, why did you suddenly change your schedule..."

The young master smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it's just a great joy. Yesterday the immortal gave instructions to Master Xu in his dream, and he will give your Majesty the elixir of immortality in the near future -"

As he spoke, he pointed to the high piles of boxes on the ship.

"You will personally hand over these gold and silver treasures to Master Xu later, and assist him in building a gold and silver platform on the sea to pray for His Majesty..."

Lu Matong couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Are there really gods?

He couldn't help but secretly glance at Xu Fu. Xu Fu had a calm expression and stood with his hands behind his back. The sea breeze was blowing and his clothes were flying. He really felt like a fairy, which made him feel a little more in awe.

This time, their purpose of following Young Master Gao to lead the army to sea has always been clear, that is, to obtain the elixir of immortality for His Majesty. This includes traveling overseas, civilizing barbarians, and giving favors, all for the purpose of obtaining the elixir of immortality. .

Now, the results are finally coming, how can he not be happy? Once he succeeds in seeking the medicine, he will have a real contribution. When the time comes, His Majesty will be happy and promoted, it will be a trivial matter.

"No! The general will do his best to ensure that the mission is completed!"

Not to mention Lu Matong, even Long Qie was a little shocked when he heard the news. He dropped what he was doing and rushed to the beach in person to inquire about the specific situation.

I have always heard that ghosts and gods exist in this world, but who has ever seen ghosts and gods giving medicine?

Only Fan Kuai, who was following Young Master Gao, had a hint of surprise in his eyes after hearing Xu Fu's words. He glanced at Xu Fu thoughtfully, and then calmly withdrew his gaze, like a silent statue. He followed Gongzi Gao step by step.

A special ship was vacated, countless gold and silver treasures were placed on the deck, and a nine-foot-high gold and silver platform was built according to the pattern given by Xu Fu.

The immortal master Xu Fu took five hundred boys and girls back to his residence, bathed and burned incense.

Three days later, the gold and silver platform was decorated. Xu Fu personally selected dozens of elites from the Qin Dynasty to accompany him for protection, and then boarded the ship with five hundred boys and girls.

In order to prevent everyone from disturbing the gods, the ship seeking the elixir of life will be sailed ten miles away from the coast.

Fan Kuai couldn't help but frown slightly as he looked at the large ship gradually moving away.

"Sir, the sea is very windy and dangerous, and big fish often appear. I am willing to lead a large army to protect you, just in case..."

Young Master Gao thought for a while and agreed.

However, I warned you again and again. "General Fan's words are reasonable, but you must not disturb the immortal and influence Master Xu to pray for His Majesty..."

"promise!"

Fan Kuai turned around to leave, and Ge Yun beside him couldn't help but frown secretly.

He secretly cursed Xu Fu in his heart. This thief wanted to die. He had a huge appetite. When things came to a close, he was so smart that he dared to target the gold and silver that Gongzi Gao was going to transport back to Xianyang. He even wanted to leave the coast ten miles away. Once he was caught by this Fan Kuai Escorting along the way, I found my ship hidden in the sea...

Thinking of this, he took a step forward.

"General Fan, wait a minute—"

Seeing Fan Kuai stop with a surprised expression, he turned around and raised his hands to the young master.

"General Fan is certainly thoughtful, but has he ever thought that if the immortal is above and knows everything, how can he put Master Xu in any danger? If General Fan Kuai follows him rashly, in case the immortal is displeased, he will not give him the gift of immortality. How can we explain to His Majesty the elixir of immortality?"

Hearing this, Young Master Gao couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

"Yes, General Fan, please come back and wait here with peace of mind!"

Fan Kuai:......

Glancing at Ge Jun, who looked indifferent, Fan Kuai could only silently retract his steps and stand behind Gongzi Gao, although he was unwilling to do so. But thinking about what His Highness had told him before leaving, he subconsciously tightened the sword at his waist.

I heard that His Highness led a team southward a few days ago. I don’t know where His Highness is at this time.

If His Highness were here, how would he respond?

……

Lujiang County.

Sheriff's Mansion.

Zhao Ying sat in the county guard's hall, looked around at everyone, raised his wine glass with a smile on his face, and said to Wu Rui and other county officials, as well as the representatives of the wealthy families in Lujiang County.

"You guys have put in so much effort these days, I have seen it in my eyes and remembered it in my heart. When I go back this time, I will definitely personally ask for credit for you guys and come and win!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, these are all my duties..."

Everyone raised their glasses and left the table to say thank you. Then they drank it down happily. The atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively.

Zhao Ying then held the wine glass and looked at Zhou Zhao, Du He and others.

"You are worthy of being a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. You have a scholarly family that has been passed down by farming and studying. The children in the family are all first-class talents and have outstanding abilities. These days, you have been accompanying me to help, and you have performed extremely well. Not bad…”

Zhou Zhao, Du He and others couldn't help but smile and raise their glasses when they heard Zhao Ying openly praising his own children.

"Your Highness has given you too much praise. The younger generation is still far behind. I can't say that they are talented, but they are still polite and know how to advance and retreat. If your Highness has anything to do, just tell them to do it. They will definitely not dare to slack off..."

Zhao Ying nodded, put down his wine glass, looked at everyone, and said seriously.

"I have always been thirsty for talents. I admire all the children of this clan very much. I want to take them under my command and bring them back to Xianyang. For me, I have got a group of very talented helpers, and they can be regarded as having a I don’t know what the elders think of being promoted to this level..."

As soon as Zhao Ying said this, needles could be heard in the hall.

Zhou Zhao, Du He and others were even more worried.

This is an unprecedented signal.

After all, Zhao Ying was not only the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin at this time, but also had the title of Governor-General of Jiangnan. His recruitment could almost be seen as the court's attitude towards the Jiangnan family.

Want to attract your own children?

To be honest, at this moment, they were really tempted.

Although these children of my own family may not be able to take on any important positions when they enter the emperor's eldest grandson's house, this is at least an excellent start. This means that the imperial court will relax restrictions on wealthy families like them.

But this will also mean that people like themselves will be completely tied to the imperial court.

Once the emperor's eldest grandson leaves, their families will be under great pressure, and will even be ostracized and targeted by the entire Chu nobles.

This hesitation only lasted for a moment. Soon Zhou Zhao, Du He and others made a decision in their hearts. They left the table with a smile, bowed deeply to Zhao Ying and thanked him.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your support!"

Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing, strode up to them, helped him up with his own hands, looked around at the crowd and said.

"Today, I have found a talented person and a beautiful jade from Lujiang County. This is a great joy. I will raise a cup and drink until I get drunk -"

In the hall, the promise suddenly burst out, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

There were singers and dancers arranged in the middle, singing and dancing in the middle of the banquet, with colorful and exaggerated movements. They stepped forward to perform, which made Zhao Ying enjoy it.

Although Xianyang also has these, Zhao Ying only heard that his family never organized these, and rarely participated in such banquets. Instead, he went to Lujiang County and saw these scenes that could only be seen in history in his previous life.

Especially the funny ones in colorful clothes, they feel a bit like a combination of later sketches and cross talk.

The banquet lasted from noon to evening, and then gradually dispersed.

Zhao Ying and Wu Rui personally stood outside the mansion to see off the guests and waved goodbye to everyone.

……

Zhou Zhao, who was staggering and finally boarding the carriage with the help of his family members, said goodbye to Zhao Ying and others in a drunken state. He didn't lower the curtain until he was far away.

Looking again, there is still half a hint of drunkenness in his eyes.

"Aweng, do we really want to surrender to the Qin people? The emperor's eldest grandson is called a recruiter this time, but in fact he is taking him as a hostage. Moreover, once the child really surrenders to the emperor's eldest grandson this time, our Zhou family will definitely become a Chu people The traitor in the eyes is the target of thousands of people..."

Zhou Du, who had just stood up first to toast Zhao Ying and expressed his gratitude repeatedly, looked at the old father in front of him and finally asked his doubts.

Zhou Zhao glanced at his young son, who had been extremely smart since he was a child, and he felt more and more pleased and gave guidance.

"Do you think we have any choice today?"

Zhou Du couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.

Zhou Zhao sighed softly.

"In these days, His Highness the Emperor Changsun will gather the wealthy families in the county every day. When he goes out, he will take us through the market in a swaggering way. When he comes in, he will take us to hold a big banquet. There are also scholars from the county who go around to spread the word that we are going out. I have millions of dollars to help him, and I wish that everyone in Chu would know about his good deeds. Even if you refuse to follow him back to Xianyang, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the suspicion of betraying Chu..."

Having said this, he couldn't help but raise his hand and gently pat his youngest son, whom he valued most.

"Besides, His Highness the Emperor's Grandson is openly soliciting in front of everyone. Do you think we still have a way out?"

Zhou Du looked up in shock.

"Aweng, you mean, does he still dare to..."

When Zhou Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and let out an inaudible sigh. It took a long time before Zhou Du heard his own son's lonely voice.

"The emperor's eldest grandson has already given enough honor to us. If we don't know what is good and what is good, I am afraid that our wealthy family in Lujiang will become the next Changsha..." (End of Chapter)
