Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

"But my father is in prison now, and we have to travel far with the master. I beg the master to let my father go. My father is old and I am afraid he will not live long if he stays in prison."

“At the same time, I am also considering this for the sake of the master.”

"Consider me?"

"That's right. Although my sister and I are not members of the master's family and do not have any official status, people in this mansion know it, and some generals' personal guards also know it. Lu Gong's weak death will inevitably arouse other people's reveries. People in the master's family who value friendship and loyalty naturally don't want to have such a reputation."

Gao Yao was a little surprised to hear what Lu Su said, but he soon realized that these words were most likely taught by Lu Zhi, but Lu Zhi did not say it, but deliberately let Lu Su say it. On the one hand, it was to let Lu Su take the initiative to admit his mistakes in front of Gao Yao, and on the other hand, it was to show respect for Gao Yao.

"To be honest, considering Lu Gong's character, I am already being merciful by not killing him. If I leave him in Pei County, he will definitely cause trouble for me in the future."

"Master..."

After hearing what Gao Yao said, Lu Su immediately wanted to explain but was interrupted by Gao Yao.

"He has only one way to survive. Follow me to the southern border. I will give you one day to convince Lu Gong. If he is unwilling, you can't blame me."

Gao Yao didn't care who Lu Gong was, but Lu Gong absolutely couldn't stay. Even though Liu Bang couldn't find him now, it didn't mean he wouldn't come back in the future. Lu Gong was a descendant of Lu Shang, the ancestor of Qi during the Western Zhou Dynasty. At the same time, Lu Gong himself was born in Wei. Lu Gong had a certain influence in these places, just like in the circle of scholars, and he had a certain status in this circle.

This kind of appeal was a kind of halo that could help Liu Bang recruit many talents in the later period. After all, Liu Bang's reputation was far inferior to Lu Gong's, so Gao Yao would naturally not keep Lu Gong. He would either die or go with him. At most, he could become a teacher.

"Well, I will do my best to persuade my father."

What Gao Yao didn't expect was that Lu Su showed an excited look after hearing this, which made Gao Yao curious.

"Did you expect me to say that?"

"No, it's not me, it was my sister who thought of it. My sister said that this is the only way the master could allow."

"Oh? Is this what you, Lu Zhi, said?"

"Ah I......"

Hearing this, Lu Su also showed a look of panic, and then immediately knelt on the ground and dared not look up again.

"It doesn't matter whose idea it is. This is the first time and the last time. If you try to be clever like this again, it's not certain whether Lu Gong will be the first to die."

After saying this, Gao Yao got up and left the room. To Gao Yao, it didn't matter that someone could guess his thoughts, and Gao Yao didn't care. However, it was unnecessary to show off deliberately, and it could even be said to be very annoying.

But Gao Yao found it interesting that he finally discovered that after half a year, Lu Su had changed. She still looked the same, but was Lu Su really so stupid that she didn't know what to say or what not to say? Especially these words that almost betrayed Lu Zhi. Did she really not know, or did she say them on purpose?

However, Gao Yao did not take it seriously and just gave a warning. Then Gao Yao went out directly, took out a lot of things from the space, and brought Kong Gang to visit Xiao He's mansion.

"Your subordinate greets Lord Nanhai Wei."

As soon as Gao Yao's visiting card was delivered to the mansion, Xiao He quickly came out of the mansion to greet Gao Yao. After all, Gao Yao's status and position were now very different, and Nanhai County was such a special place, but Xiao He was still standing still. This was of course because Xiao He himself was not very willing to serve as an official. However, when he learned that Gao Yao was visiting again, he still hurried out to greet him.

After all, the status gap between the two sides is now even greater, and Gao Yao's title is not low. According to the requirements of Daqin, there is no problem even if he kneels down to pay homage.

"Mr. Xiao He, I'm sorry to bother you. It's better to call me Gao Yao. It sounds more friendly."

"How can this be done, General?"

"Please, oh, Kong Gang, bring the gift I prepared for Mr. Xiao He."

"Here"

At this time, at Gao Yao's signal, Kong Gang also carried a shoulder pole and entered Xiao He's mansion with a lot of things.

"General, how can this be done?"

"Haha, I'm not an outsider. I respect you as a person and I want to be your good friend. A few gifts would be fine."

"This.....Alas, Xiao He is ashamed to accept it"

Seeing Gao Yao's attitude, Xiao He knew he couldn't refuse, so he simply accepted it. He took Gao Yao into the main hall and ordered someone to serve tea.

"Mr. Xiao He, I'll be frank. I've just returned from Xianyang, and this time I came to visit you for the same purpose."

Gao Yao didn't waste any words and directly told Xiao He that he was planning to recruit him. Xiao He, who heard this, once again showed a somewhat embarrassed look. He was very grateful to Gao Yao for thinking so highly of him, but he still needed to consider whether to follow Gao Yao.

Seeing Xiao He's hesitation, Gao Yao sighed in his heart. He let the rest go, but he must get Xiao He and Cao Shen. Of course, if the two were really unwilling to agree, Gao Yao had already calculated that as soon as his personal soldiers arrived tomorrow, he would get rid of the two before he left. There was no chance that he would leave any chance for Liu Bang, and Gao Yao would not gamble on such a possibility.

"Can I ask the General something?"

"Sir, you can talk."

"General, do you know why His Majesty sent you to the southern border?"

"Sir, to be honest, I was originally going to return to Sishui County to take up the post of Commander. I was the one who brought up the matter of the southern border. Of course, I also used some tricks, and that's how I became the Commander of the South Sea."

"what?"

Listening to Gao Yao's words, Xiao He was also puzzled. He knew very well what the southern border was. It was full of barbarians who could not be educated. Qin Shihuang had mobilized a total of 60 Qin troops for Nanyue. Although the entire Nanyue had basically fallen into the hands of the Qin army except for the Ou Luo area, the Ou Luo area basically had no ability to resist. There were no soldiers, and the development was very backward. There were even many people using stone tools to attack with weapons and equipment. Now there was no need to continue the attack, but to digest the territory that had been seized.

However, the three places of Nanhai, Guilin and Xiangjun are basically in a state of disrepair and need to be relocated by the Qin Dynasty. There is no infrastructure, let alone any development. This is the problem that Xiao He does not understand. Why did Gao Yao take the initiative to go to the southern border?
