Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 25: Family Dinner, Second Master Ying Gao

It was only noon when Fusu led more than twenty undead souls through the city and walked to the Xianyang Palace.

When passers-by saw these armored skeletons and ghosts, they avoided them as if they were avoiding the plague. They were so panicked that they even dropped their stalls.

Wherever it passed, the streets were empty. Not only were there no people, even dogs had disappeared, and the rats in their holes didn't dare to come out.

Looking at the streets that became empty in a few breaths, Fusu didn't care at all and still paraded through the city with his undead men.

Fusu arrived at the palace in a swaggering manner and saw several eunuchs waiting outside the palace gate with a young man who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and about younger than himself.

Seeing the group of undead spirits walking towards the palace gate, the young man couldn't help but feel a little scared, but he still took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and walked quickly towards Fusu. He stopped three steps away and raised his hand elegantly to salute: "My brother, I'm honored to meet you, Brother Fusu!"

This person was the second son of Zulong and the second brother of Fusu, Ying Gao.

"Gao, we haven't seen each other for half a year, and you've grown a lot taller! Have you eaten anything in the past six months?"

Looking at the polite Ying Gao in front of him, Fusu raised his hand and patted his head. Although Fusu was only thirteen years old, due to the undead's feeding, his height reached 1.8 meters in half a year, which was more than 20 centimeters taller than Ying Gao.

"Thank you for your concern, brother! I have missed you very much since you left! Now I am very happy to see you return safely! God bless our Qin Kingdom!"

"I wanted to meet you yesterday, but you left early and I don't have the right to leave the palace, so I didn't get to see you. Today, I heard that you were going to attend a family dinner, so I came here early to wait for you!"

Ying Gao spoke politely, as if he had not been beaten up because of someone's behavior. It was not as if he wanted to piss off Zulong because someone left without saying goodbye, which prevented him from leaving the palace easily.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, and I miss you very much." Fusu said with a smile, and put his arm around Ying Gao's shoulders. He narrowed his eyes and whispered, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for half a year, you have grown a lot, and you have even learned to lie!"

He was parading through the streets with the undead, and the people were avoiding him. How could Zulong not know about it? The family banquet didn't start until the evening, but Ying Gao was waiting for Zulong early. It must be Zulong's instruction.

With Fusu holding his shoulders, Ying Gao's body trembled unconsciously, and he quickly said with a smile: "Brother, you are joking. How dare I lie to you? I am sincere. Father is still waiting for us. Let's go to the palace quickly!"

"My second brother has really grown a lot in the past six months!" Fusu said with relief, letting go of Ying Gao's shoulders. "Then enter the palace!"

"Brother, please!" Ying Gao said quickly, letting Fusu go first.

----------

After entering the Xianyang Palace, under the guidance of Ying Gao, they went directly to the back garden.

Entering the back garden, Fusu saw Zulong standing in the pavilion with his hands behind his back facing the entrance of the garden.

Around the pavilion were his twenty-three brothers and sisters, none of them were absent. At this moment, these brothers and sisters were standing around the pavilion in an orderly manner, with their heads lowered and their hands hanging down.

In the corridor of the garden were a group of eunuchs, palace servants and guards.

"Father is still as majestic as ever! Just wait here!" Fusu said to Ying Gao with a smile, gave an order to the undead following behind him, and walked towards Zulong first.

The undead behind him stayed where they were, motionless. Coming behind Zulong with Ying Gao, Fusu raised his hand and bowed to Zulong, who had his back to him, and said, "Father, I am a little excited to attend the family dinner, so I came a little early. I hope I didn't delay your business!"

"You still know that I am your father!"

Zulong cursed in his heart, turned around and looked at Fusu who was still bowing, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, you and I were both kings, so we couldn't express our father-son love. Today is the family dinner, and I want to have a good chat with my son!"

"Thank you, father, for your understanding!" Fusu said quickly, "In the past six months, I have missed you, father, and my brothers and sisters very much."

"Bullshit! You really pissed me off yesterday!"

Zulong cursed in his heart again. If there were not 1.2 million undead outside Yiqu Pass, he would definitely roll up his sleeves and let Fusu know what loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness meant.

But he smiled and said, "You are my son. You didn't disappoint me. Your brothers and sisters missed you very much. They often asked me when their eldest brother would return. Sometimes I didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, you are back."

"Thank you, father, and my brothers and sisters for your concern!" Fusu said quickly.

Then, without waiting for Zulong to say anything, he walked directly into the pavilion, sat down on the bench next to Zulong, and crossed his legs. He also said to Zulong: "Father, please sit down! You're welcome!"

"I haven't even sat down yet, and you, a rebellious son, dared to sit down first, without even asking me! And you told me to be polite!"

"I can't get angry. I can't get angry! There are 1.2 million undead outside Yiqiu Pass waiting for us. This is bad for the country! This is bad for the country!"

Seeing Fusu being so disrespectful and sitting in such an impolite posture, Zulong's mouth twitched twice, and he kept comforting himself in his heart. He immediately pretended to sit down naturally and said, "Yesterday at noon, your teacher Chunyu Yue heard that you were back and came to look for you happily. After learning that you had left the palace, he left happily in a hurry."

"Teacher Chunyu Yue did come yesterday evening!" Fusu said with a smile, "But I fell asleep early yesterday, and my undead subordinates didn't dare to disturb him, so I let the teacher wait in the garden all night. I only found out about this at noon today. When I went to the garden, the teacher had caught a cold. We just chatted for a few minutes, and then I asked my subordinates to take the teacher to rest. We didn't catch up!"

'This guy definitely did it on purpose!'

Zulong understood immediately, and looking at Fusu's strange blue eyes, he said with a smile: "Chun Yuyue is a great Confucian scholar, a doctor, and has amazing knowledge! Can you..."

Fusu immediately interrupted Zulong and said with a smile: "Then father, you must make use of him! Don't bury the talent! It will only make people laugh at you! Let people laugh at you for not knowing how to judge people! It will be bad for the country and the people!"

"What a talent! This guy really knows what he is doing!"

Zulong cursed in his heart again.

Is Chunyu Yue a talent? He restored Zhou Li, went against the grain, and his mind was full of nonsense, the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and the words of the saints. He was pedantic and had no unique insights and talents. For the Qin State, Chunyu Yue was a cancer with a little reputation.

If Confucianism did not have many disciples and a high reputation among the people and the Hundred Schools of Thought, and Chunyu Yue had the status of a great Confucian scholar and a certain reputation, I would never have allowed him to become a doctor.

In the past, Chunyu Yue's depth and thoughts were not known, and he was appointed as Fusu's teacher only to win over Confucianism and Qi. As a result, Fusu was taught by him to be pedantic and unfit for great use.

Yesterday he asked Chunyu Yue to find Fusu, with the intention of letting Chunyu Yue teach Fusu a lesson again.
