Qin Hu

Chapter 114 Is This What The Tyrant Means?
The addition of the cold-blooded thirteen eagles made the banquet between Zhao Zihu and Zhang Cang even more lively.

Then Fat Qing'er arrived, and Xiang Liyue also got up to join, making the banquet even more lively.

After Zhang Cang met Xiang Liyue, he finally understood why Zhao Zihu was stalked.

Such a familiar sister of the age of a tiger and a wolf, everyone should be afraid of her!

"Zhang Yushi, you have already learned how to use the sextant. You can set off today or tomorrow, and go to the coast of the East China Sea to meet Li You."

In front of Xiangliyue, Zhao Zihu pretended to be serious about doing business, and told Zhang Cang, "There are also a few alchemists under my tent, who will also go with you this time."

"When you arrive at the coast of the East China Sea, take time out and try your best to teach the people in the fleet to use the sextant!"

After Zhang Cang finished his banquet, the ditch was already full, he got up and raised his hands and said, "Only... hiccup, Zhang Cang is going back to pack his luggage now."

Zhao Zihu waved his hand: "Go, hurry up sooner rather than later, when you get to the shore of the East China Sea, you should be familiar with the wind and waves of the sea early, otherwise it won't be beautiful if you get seasick and confess yourself to vomiting and diarrhea."

Zhang Cang bowed his hand again: "Young Master Lao will give you advice."

With that said, he left the table and retired, and together with his retainers, he rode on a rough horse and left the camp of the clan's children.

Zhao Zihu watched him disappear between the tents, turned to Ben Bo'er and said domineeringly: "Go and call Mr. Xu Fu and others."

"only."

Ben Bo'er took the order with his hands in his arms and went away.

After a while, Xu Fu and several old companions came together and greeted Zhao Zihu and Xiang Liyue: "I have met the young master, I have seen the young master."

Then, he greeted Hu Hai, Xiao Diaochan and others.

"Gentlemen, you don't need to be too polite, just sit down."

Zhao Zihu asked them to accept the courtesy, let Ben Boerba and Ba Boerben set up a banquet for the old men.

Xu Fu saluted again, and then took the lead to enter the table.

Zhao Zihu picked up the wine bottle and asked, "Gentlemen, are you almost ready for the sea trip?"

Xu Fu hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and replied: "Young Master has specified that there is no omission in the list of supplies needed for going to sea. Once you reach the coast of the East China Sea, you can get them from the nearest county arsenal."

Zhao Zihu nodded in satisfaction: "Since that's the case, gentlemen, let's go to the coast of the East China Sea first, so that we can get acquainted with the new ships early..."

"Zihu wishes all gentlemen a smooth journey and victory in drinking!"

Xu Fu and several old companions then said in unison: "Thanks to the auspicious words of the young master, drink to win~!!!"

They are excited, there's no question about that.

In the past, when they went to the sea to seek immortality and medicine, they always sought funding from rich and noble families.

Two or three boats is the limit!

Now, they have the support of the Great Qin Shi Huangdi and this clan tyrant, and it's finally a shotgun change.

Hundreds of people go to sea together, armored equipment, food, grass and supplies, whatever they want!
Even, a new type of ship suitable for ocean voyages was built for this purpose!
It's certainly worth getting excited about!
Although Zhao Zihu had crossed off the requests for gold, silver and jewelry for boys and girls, and they have not yet been allowed to be the masters of the fleet...

But these are not the main points in themselves. As long as the fleet has a strong endurance, it is more hopeful to find immortals on the vast sea to realize their wish of immortality.

As long as you can live forever, nothing else matters, you can bear it!
"I have found a companion for you gentlemen, and I am already packing your luggage. When you gentlemen set off, you can ask him to go with you. In the future, he will also go to sea with you gentlemen..."

Zhao Zihu put down the wine bottle and ordered.

Xu Fu also put down his wine bottle and said, "Who is it?"

Zhao Zihu didn't give a damn, and explained with a smile: "That man is Xunzi's high-ranking apprentice, and also the junior brother of Li Xiang and my master Han Fei. His surname is Zhang and his name is Cang, and he is currently serving as a royal censor."

Xu Fu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at each other with several old companions.

Good guy, this person's name is scary enough!
He is also a senior student of Xunzi, and the junior of Li Si and Han Fei, and he is also a central official.

Such a great talent is actually more suitable to be a fleet commander than that dude Li You!
Zhao Zihu seemed to see what they were thinking, so he said hesitantly: "That Yushi Zhang is proficient in astronomy and calculation. After the fleet goes out to sea this time, we need to rely on him to search the sea..."

"It can be said that he is the deputy commander of the fleet. You need to get closer to him on the way, gentlemen. He will also teach you how to find a way at sea..."

"Gentlemen, you must study hard, you won't be overwhelmed by your skills!"

When Xu Fu and his old companions heard the words, they naturally raised their hands together: "Wei, the young master is thoughtful, we understand."

Zhao Zihu smiled and waved his hands, signaling that they accepted their flattery.

Then, after pondering for a moment, he said again: "You gentlemen must be able to see that I don't have much confidence in the matter of searching for immortals and medicines at sea."

"What I prefer is to put my hope of longevity on refining the immortal medicine."

"After all, it's better to ask for yourself than to ask for others!"

Xu Fu and several old companions looked at each other, just nodded and waited for his next words.

Of course they knew that when Zhao Zihu sent the fleet out to sea, he was not thinking about seeking immortality and medicine at all, and [-]% of them had other purposes.

They even knew that Zhao Zihu taught them the method of scientific alchemy for another purpose.

Just like what Xu Fu said that day, he didn't know what Zhao Zihu's purpose was, but it was definitely not for longevity.

But then again, no matter what Zhao Zihu wants to use them for... When Zhao Zihu uses them, they are also using Zhao Zihu.

Anyway, everything is developing in a good direction, it doesn't matter if it is beneficial or not!
"Going to sea this time, searching for immortals and asking for medicine is just one of them. If you can find it by chance, it will be the best."

"But if you don't have that opportunity, gentlemen, don't force it blindly, because there is another task for you gentlemen..."

Zhao Zihu observed the expressions of the old men, and slowly stated his ultimate goal: "That is, to find overseas high-yield grain and vegetable seeds, and bring them back to Daqin, so as to benefit the common people in the world!"

Xu Fu and his old companions were slightly dumbfounded, but not surprised.

It can only be said that Zhao Zihu's words were within their expectations and reasonable.

Their dumbness is not even due to their search for overseas high-yield grain and vegetables to benefit the common people in the world.

But dumbfounded, Zhao Zihu, the notorious clan tyrant, actually has a great ambition to benefit the common people in the world?
The tyrant Yingzheng probably didn't have such ambitions, did he?
Or is this what the tyrant meant?
If this is what the tyrant meant, they would have to look at him with admiration!

"Smash, smash..."

Seeing that they were not very surprised, Zhao Zihu smacked his lips slightly disappointed.

He also wanted to see the dumbfounded old men with their white beards upturned.

But now, the calm looks of the old men seemed to have long been expected, which inevitably made his expectations come to nothing.

I really can't underestimate the heroes of the world, there are so many smart people!
He, the descendant of the later generations, may have a foresight in front of these real old fox ancestors.

If you really want to be smarter than playing tricks, you may be suspected of selling the Analects of Confucius in front of the door of the sage Confucius, which will only embarrass people.

What he has to do should be to use a big sword in front of Saint Kong's door, and win by playing tricks!
Well, it is said that Kong Shengren is also a fierce man, maybe he may not be able to use big swords, he can outperform others!
"Gentlemen, asking about longevity may be out of reach."

"But one must leave something in the world to prove that he has been here."

"Why do we seek longevity? Don't we just want to live forever in the world?"

"This trip to the sea, as long as we can bring back high-yield grain and vegetable seeds that our Great Qin did not have, and use them to benefit the common people in the world, in the future, you gentlemen will be famous in history, and will be praised by future generations and generations!"

"Just like the sage of Confucius, although he has passed away, his name has been spread all over the world, and it has been passed down to this day. When the younger generations mention it, they will definitely praise it."

"This, thinking about it, is not much worse than Changsheng, right?"

Zhao Zihu met the dumb gazes of Xu Fu and the others, and let out some CPU words, but he was impassioned.

Xu Fu and the others heard it in their ears, and the indifference in their old eyes finally turned into astonishment.

Even thoughtful!
Until it's time to try!

They were just dumbfounded by Zhao Zihu's great ambitions, but now they seem to understand why Zhao Zihu has such great ambitions.

To be honest, they even feel a little ashamed.

Spend a lifetime of energy and exhaust the energy of a lifetime.

They didn't find the so-called longevity either!

Today, it is already in the twilight years, it is impossible to say that there is no depression in my heart, but there is still a spirit of not admitting defeat!

After all, I have already wasted my whole life, and it is impossible to give up, so just hold on, what if it works?
This mentality is sad to say the least!

And Zhao Zihu, although he was young and unkempt, seemed to be more open than them. Longevity demanded, and eternal fame also demanded it, and he grasped it with both hands.

If you become the master, everything will be fine!

"Young Master is right, Xu Fu is ashamed."

After Xu Fu came back to his senses, he stood up and saluted, expressing his gratitude.

The rest of the old gods, no matter whether they agree with Zhao Zihu's point of view or not, they all stood up and raised their hands and said: "My lord has a clear mind, we are old, and we should live for decades in vain, what a shame~!"

Zhao Zihu picked up the wine bottle and stood up, bared his teeth and said with a grin: "Once enlightened, you can be regarded as enlightened, there is nothing to be ashamed of."

"Zihu wishes you gentlemen to go to sea this time, to find overseas high-yield grain and vegetable seeds, and to find immortals in Xiandao, and seek immortality medicine."

"In this way, it is the best of both worlds to have longevity and a good name for all ages. It is interesting to live for thousands of years, isn't it!"

Listen to this and cheer up.

Xu Fu and several old companions immediately picked up the wine bottles together, and said hesitantly: "Then let me borrow my son's auspicious words, and go to sea this time to get the best of both worlds."

"Haha, good! Drink wins!"

"Drink victory~!!!"

Everyone held wine bottles and drank freely.

……

……

After the banquet was over, Xu Fu and several old gods left the banquet drunkenly, went back to pack their bags, and prepared to rush to the coast of the East China Sea first.

"Hey, I miscalculated. I'm afraid that the rest of my life will be caught and used by this clan's stubborn tiger until I die..."

Xu Fu left Zhao Zihu's side, the drunkenness on his old face immediately dissipated, replaced by a wry smile and a faint sigh.

This time, Zhao Zihu had confessed to him and his fellow old gods that going to sea was not to seek immortals and medicines, but to seek so-called overseas high-yield grain and vegetable seeds.

He knew in his heart that what Zhao Zihu said just now was just to boost their morale.

Because of this association, it can't be said that Li You and Zhang Cang got the order. I'm afraid they didn't seek immortality and medicine, but they just focused on finding overseas high-yield grain and vegetable seeds.

And they are simply being used, the fleet only needs their experience in going to sea in the past!

If you think about it again, the same is true for scientific alchemy. Although I don't know what Zhao Zihu's idea is, the purpose is definitely not to refine elixir.

Zhao Zihu just wanted to use their desire for longevity to do his own thing!

As for whether they can live forever, Zhao Zihu doesn't care at all!
I'm afraid, I've always treated them as a joke!

"Who can blame this? We didn't bump into it ourselves..."

"Who would have thought that beside the tyrant, there was such a difficult little guy..."

"We failed to play tricks on the tyrant, but we were manipulated by a naughty little guy. It's really useless to live for decades..."

"You can't escape now, just accept your fate..."

Like Xu Fu, the old gods had already understood the form, so they could only lower their voices and sigh with wry smiles.

Xu Fu took a deep breath, gritted his back teeth and said, "Forget it, let him take advantage of it, let's pretend we don't know."

"Anyway, we are also using their father and son. What if we can go out to sea to find the Immortal Isle, what if we can use that strange alchemy method to refine the immortal medicine?"

Hearing the words, several old magic sticks tried to cheer themselves up, so they could only comfort themselves in this way secretly.

Well, to say the same thing, they are the ones who go crazy and even deceive themselves. Self-comfort and self-hypnosis are their forte!
……

……

At the same time, Zhao Zihu, who was full of food and drink, was also discussing Xu Fu and others with his uncle and nephew, Xiangli Yue, and the cold-blooded Thirteen Eagles.

"Hey, brother shouldn't have confessed to these old gods with bad intentions, and deceived them until they died..."

Hu Hai cursed viciously.

Zhao Zihu shook his head and said with a smile: "Continuing to be deceived is not a solution. When they go to sea in the future, they will be with Li You and Zhang Cang all day long, and sooner or later they will notice something abnormal."

"Now that the truth has been handed over, there will be no future worries."

"Otherwise, if going to sea doesn't go well, when life and death are at stake, and they find themselves being deceived and used, and they give up on themselves, it will be a big disaster..."

As he spoke, he gave Hu Hai a slap on the back of his head with his hands, and said angrily, "Your child is young, so how can you get so much hostility, a bunch of poor old people, you have to be ruthless and deceive them to death."

Hu Hai was hit on the head a little bit, so that he could not poke his head into the food in front of him, clutching the back of his head and complaining: "Brother, beat me lightly, if this goes on, I will be beaten into a fool by you~!"

Zhao Zihu stared: "If you don't let go of the hostility in your heart, I will beat you into a fool sooner or later!"
