Great Qin State Teacher
Chapter 76
Makeup powder, rouge, snail Dai... lined up in front of Xu Fu.
In fact, Xu Fu also has a little hard work, but have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?Reminiscing about the classical make-up in TV dramas in his previous life, Xu Fu quickly sketched out a general movement in his mind.
He confidently grabbed the makeup powder.
No matter how bad it is, it is still better dressed than Jian Jia.
Long Yangjun sat there motionless, working as a model very dedicatedly, or he was very curious and enjoyed such an experience that he had never had before.
Xu Fu knelt down in front of Lord Longyang, and stretched out his hands to press his shoulders down.
At this time, there was nothing to moisten the skin, Xu Fu squeezed the makeup powder, frowned, then turned his head and asked Jian Jia: "Is there any water?"
"Yes." Jian Jia hurriedly handed over the gourd on her waist.
Xu Fu took the gourd, opened the stopper, and poured some water out of his palm.Lord Longyang suddenly had a bad premonition and couldn't help shrinking back, but Xu Fu had already pressed up with one hand, and the other directly slapped Lord Longyang on the face.
Everyone in the carriage was stunned.
Xu Fu explained without changing his face: "Knead it to replenish water." He pretended to rub it skillfully on Longyang Jun's face.
Jian Jia swallowed unconsciously, feeling a little guilty.
...There seems to be his saliva in there.
After Xu Fu finished kneading, he patted a thin layer of powder on Longyang Jun's face, then grabbed the rouge and applied it to the corners of his eyes and lips, Jian Jia suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Sir, this can't be done..."
Xu Fu turned his head and gave him a sideways glance.
Jian Jia immediately shut up.
Xu Fu grabbed Luo Zidai again and raised his eyebrows for Lord Longyang.
His appearance was a little focused, and his eyelids were slightly lowered, giving people the illusion of affection.Lord Longyang looked up at him, couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth, and said: "The appearance of the envoy's thrush is really tempting..." As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fu accidentally slipped his hand, Luo Zidai A long black line was drawn on Longyang Jun's face.
Xu Fu put Luo Zidai away, and continued to babble, "...Well, it doesn't look very beautiful either."
Jian Jia involuntarily turned her face away, this is not as good as him...
Lord Longyang grinned, "The envoy said yes, then that's it."
Jian Jia had a horrible expression on his face.
Lord Longyang can really bear it!
Even Xu Fu couldn't help looking at Lord Longyang in surprise.
They would inevitably pass through some small towns on the way, so Lord Longyang put on his face and followed Xu Fu out of the carriage.I don't know if it's a person from a small town, and his aesthetics tends to be curious, so he can be fascinated by such a face.
Lord Longyang stood up straight and followed Xu Fu into the inn.
It's just that as soon as Long Yangjun's figure was shown, everyone felt quite horrified, and said in a low voice: "... Such a strong and strong woman."
Xu Fu and the others quickly booked a room at the inn, because they had already traveled far enough, and they didn't need to be in a hurry anymore.Xu Fu went to take a comfortable bath, and the rest of the people also dispersed to rest.
By the time Xu Fu shivered in a daze and woke up from the water, it was already late.Xu Fu got up and put on his robe, stepped out the door, and immediately saw Mr. Longyang sitting downstairs eating, but there was a strange man sitting opposite Mr. Longyang.
The man was dressed in a gray robe, with a handsome face and a beard. Although his face looked tired from a long journey, it was more calm and serious. He seemed to be a wise and calm person.
Xu Fu was slightly vigilant in his heart, what is the relationship between this person and Lord Longyang?Why is he sitting in front of Lord Longyang?
Xu Fu walked down the stairs and approached lightly.
When he got closer, Xu Fu heard the man say to Lord Longyang: "... I think you will fall into a serious illness soon after seeing your face, and this serious illness may change your life. It's fate, and I'll persuade you one or two."
Xu Fu was stunned.
Such familiar words...
Isn't this what he usually likes to say?
Is this... bumping into a colleague?
Xu Fu's expression couldn't help being a little weird.
At this time, the man also noticed Xu Fu's arrival, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he stood up.
Long Yangjun stood up right after him.
"Who is this?" Xu Fu looked at Lord Longyang.
"I happened to meet, and this gentleman said the same thing as you." Longyang Jun said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, the other party was also a little surprised. He took a deep look at Xu Fu and asked, "You said the same thing as me?"
Xu Fu nodded, "I didn't expect such a coincidence."
The other party shook his head, "It's not a coincidence."
What's the meaning?Xu Fu couldn't understand the deep meaning, but he wasn't curious about it, so he let it go.
The man turned his head back and continued to say to Lord Longyang: "Although your fate has changed, you should be careful, especially in this year, you should change your temper, act in a low-key manner, and be more restrained. Wouldn't it be a pity to come out of the place and take a look outside, so as not to be ruined by a momentary depression or an illness?"
Li Si also came out at this moment, seeing the man, Li Si frowned and said, "Your Excellency looks familiar." As he spoke, he stood in front of Xu Fu without a trace, a little worried that this man was here to make trouble.
The man moved his eyes away indistinctly, "Oh, is that so? You and I should have never met each other before, so let's take my leave." The man left first after speaking.
Xu Fu asked Lord Longyang: "Just now he was telling your fortune?"
Long Yangjun nodded, and said something that surprised Xu Fu, "He is just like you, he only took one look at me before he said this."
Just glanced at it?
Does that person also look at faces?
Xu Fu raised his head and hurriedly looked in the direction where the person left, but the person had already left the inn, and he couldn't even find his back.
Sure enough, even thousands of years ago, there were people beyond people, and heaven beyond heaven.He shouldn't underestimate this era...
I just don't know if there will be a chance to see that man again.
With a mood of anticipation, Xu Fu and his party quickly set off on the road again, and it just happened to be such a coincidence that after they had been on the road for a short time, when they were approaching the Qin state, they ran into the man again. Huidi entered the territory of Qin State.However, Xu Fu and others took a temporary detour and turned to South Korea.
It's just that Xu Fu sent Gan Tang and Bai Zhou back to Xianyang City.
Regardless of whether the king of Wei will make trouble or not, they have to fight back first, and prepare a sufficient excuse for the envoy to leave early.
Why did the envoys leave? Wei Wang first approached Xu Fu shamelessly, and he deserved the slap in the face.As long as you grasp this point and hide Lord Longyang firmly, it is impossible for the king of Wei to go to war with the state of Qin for this.At this time, Qin Guo took the initiative to show a magnanimous appearance, approached the envoy who came, and made the matter of mutual alliance look like that.
Compared with forming an alliance with the State of Wei just after arriving in the State of Wei, it would be more convincing for other countries to have such conflicts first and then to form an alliance.Who made Wei State look down on Qin State in the past, and had a suspicion with Qin State?
At least South Korea will be bluffed, and there is no way to seek help from Wei Guo.
With Wei Guo in front, South Korea will be much easier to start with.
Li Si dealt with Korean officials in a good manner, but Xu Fu did not show up with Li Si, but took Long Yangjun around to find the whereabouts of the tripod.
"The envoy is still so interested in the tripod? Could it be that the Qin Palace can't produce a tripod?" Lord Longyang was puzzled.In the first half of his life, he dealt with the schemes of seizing favor, politics and diplomacy, how could he understand the leisurely mind of looking for a tripod?
"Naturally there are countless tripods in the Qin Palace, but none of them are the one I'm looking for."
"Oh? Is there something special about that cauldron?" Longyang Jun became more interested and asked involuntarily.
"Small and exquisite, it can be held in the hand, with complicated textures, exquisite atmosphere, and ancient characters engraved on the tripod."
"Isn't this kind of cauldron seen everywhere?" Longyang Jun laughed.He followed the King of Wei, and naturally he had seen countless good things. How could such a tripod be rare?
Xu Fu shook his head, turned around and called, "Sang Zhong."
Sang Zhong stepped forward, secretly glanced at Longyang Jun vigilantly, and then took out a small cauldron from his bosom.
It is a little exaggerated to say that it can be held in the hand. Although it is small and exquisite, it must be held in the arms.
Lord Longyang's eyes touched the body of the cauldron, and his eyes flashed with amazement, "There are certainly more gorgeous cauldrons, but they are not as good as the heavy aura exuding from this tripod. It is really interesting. The envoy wants to find Yes, is this the tripod?"
Xu Fu nodded, "Exactly."
The coldness on Longyang Jun's face faded completely, he raised his hand to caress the tripod twice, and then said: "I seem to have seen a tripod similar to this."
"Where did you see it?" Xu Fu asked immediately, and only then would he let go of his cold appearance.
Lord Longyang withdrew his hand, "I seem to have put away the tripod, but it's not by my side. It's still in Wei State."
"In Wei State?" It turns out that Wei State is not in South Korea.
Xu Fu frowned, secretly thinking that Li Si's news was not reliable.
"The envoys don't need to worry. If you really need this thing, I will order someone to send it."
"Can you return to Wei State?"
Lord Longyang lowered his eyelids, and said casually: "I don't need to go back, the thing can naturally be delivered to the envoy, but the envoy takes my things, what can I get in exchange?"
Xu Fu said cheekily: "I saved your life, isn't the life of Lord Longyang not as valuable as that tripod?" In what Lord Longyang said, maybe he dug a hole for him to jump in. Why did he bother to be so sincere and agree? , Said that he would exchange things with Longyang Jun in the future.
Lord Longyang nodded, "Then my life will be in the hands of the envoy."
Xu Fu glanced at him, always felt that his behavior was a little weird, but he suddenly couldn't tell what was weird.
Now that Ding's whereabouts were known, Xu Fu and Lord Longyang did not stay outside for a long time, and they returned to the inn soon.Now Mr. Longyang is still dressed as a woman, and Xu Fu's makeup skills have risen by more than one level. When Mr. Longyang goes out, except for his height, which is slightly taller than Xu Fu, just looking at his face, he already looks like a girl. She was a charming woman who was completely different from his real temperament.
Wang Liu wandered the streets and alleys, looking for someone to tell a fortune teller.
Only Jian Jia and Sang Zhong honestly guarded Xu Fu's door, while Lord Long Yang had no one to follow, and would sit downstairs and have a drink from time to time, but no one dared to approach him.
After nightfall, the number of people in the inn gradually decreased, but at this moment, there was a creaking sound, and Li Si, who was wrapped in dew, came in.Li Si's face was not relaxed, but Longyang Jun glanced at him, not surprised, and asked directly: "It seems that Li Changshi's contact must have failed."
"Failure?" Xu Fu came downstairs, frowning.
South Korea is hard to find real talented people nowadays. Could it be that South Korean officials are more difficult to impress than Wei State officials, and even Li Si can't move his mouth?
Li Si came striding forward, and said to Xu Fu solemnly, "Please discuss the matter with me."
Li Si also knew that Lord Longyang was a talented person, but after all, he was Wei Guo's male favourite, and he had been envoys to other countries, but he was doing it for the benefit of Wei Wang, so naturally he couldn't say some things in front of him.And Li Si's trust in Xu Fu was already very high. In his opinion, talking with Xu Fu at this time would definitely yield something.
The two went upstairs, Jian Jia and Sang Zhong stood guard outside.
"But encountered difficulties?" Xu Fu asked aloud.
Li Si sighed, "I never thought that this Korean man has such shallow eyelids."
"How to make a shallow method?"
"The officials of the Wei state are interested in power, status, and future promotion. But the South Korean officials are interested in gold, silver and jewelry." Li Si shook his head, "cooperate with them, and they will ask for money."
It's really vulgar and practical.
Although it is said that South Korean officials seem to be a bit of a philistine, and not as ambitious as Wei's officials, it has to be said that South Korean officials' demands are more practical.If you want to talk to me, you need to get money first. I can only help you when I get actual benefits. If you talk about promotion or future with me, I won't listen to you.
Just in Li Si's eyes, it would make his teeth itch.
South Korean officials are so short-sighted, no wonder South Korea is getting worse than before.
"Then find some gold, silver and jewelry."
Li Si shook his head, "When I left, I didn't ask the king to prepare a lot of money." Moreover, Li Si somewhat looked down on these officials and was not very happy to spend money on them.
During the period of King Qin Huiwen, there was Zhang Yi, who spoke all over the world with one mouth.
Thinking about it now, he thinks highly of himself.
Li Si sighed lightly.
He could think of the methods used by monarchs and ministers to sow discord, but he never thought that the officials of different countries are so different, and the interests that can move them are naturally different, and it is only correct to prescribe the right medicine.
"It's that simple." There was no trace of anxiety on Xu Fu's face.
"Why did you say that?" Li Si was taken aback.
"Mr. Longyang is rich, just ask him to borrow it."
Li Si frowned, "He left in a hurry from Wei, will he carry it with him?"
Xu Fu snorted softly, "He didn't bring it with him, but his followers did. Do you really think that he came with us alone?" Xu Fu didn't notice it before, and Lord Longyang said that when he was looking for the cauldron today. It was these words that made Xu Fu firm in his thoughts.
Li Si nodded, "We can't leave empty-handed on this trip, we change our plan, and it's enough to win only one person."
"Remember to take Wang Liu with you."
Li Si smiled, relieved, "It's natural."
But when Li Si stepped out of the room, he suddenly remembered that Mr. Longyang was cold and arrogant by nature, and he was even more difficult to talk about than Xu Dianshi. Besides, Mr. Longyang himself was a good talker, so how could he obediently lend him money? ?
Li Si was talking secretly in his heart, and when he took two steps forward, he saw Lord Longyang standing opposite him, raised his head and smiled, "Is there something wrong with Li Changshi?"
Li Si was not hypocritical, he immediately bowed and begged, "I have a request..."
"Ask me to borrow money?" Mr. Longyang seemed to be a prophet.
However, considering that Korea and Wei had a good relationship in the past, and that Mr. Longyang had even been sent to Korea as an envoy, Li Si was not surprised.
"Exactly."
"It's fine to borrow money, but Chang Shi still has to ask the envoy for me, what can I get in exchange for it?" Lord Longyang said indifferently: "Longyang's life can't be worth so many things."
Xu Fu also came out of the house at this time, and when he heard Lord Longyang say this, he was even more puzzled, why did Lord Longyang insist on asking him to exchange things?Do you want to owe him a favor?Xu Fu stared at Longyang Jun's face for a while.
Both of them had a paralyzed face, and no one could tell the winner.
Xu Fu couldn't see anything, so he could only nod his head, "Mr. Longyang wrote it down. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely be with Lord Longyang."
Seeing this, Li Si hurriedly said: "This is what I owe Lord Longyang, how can I write it down to Mr.?"
"It's okay."
Li Si opened up territory for Qin Shihuang and won people's hearts.And although he slept with Qin Shihuang for a few times, in essence, he is closer to Qin Shihuang now, so why not pay a little?Today he owes Lord Longyang, and if he returns to Xianyang City another day, isn't it because Qin Shihuang owes him?
This kind of business is still quite cost-effective.
Lord Longyang then smiled and said: "My envoy is quick, I have ordered people to find the tripod. I have ordered people to prepare the money that Li Changshi asked for. Li Changshi might as well go back to the house to have a look. "
Was it already expected?Xu Fu couldn't help but look at Longyang Jun more.
He was older than Li Si, and indeed he was older than Li Si.
To say that they abducted Lord Longyang, might as well say that Lord Longyang had other plans.
Li Si also took a deep look at Longyang Jun before turning around and leaving.
In any case, the tripod that Xu Fu asked for had been found, and the money Li Si asked for was also obtained. Li Si took Wang Liu and went there.
Xu Fu never thought that this journey would be so smooth and calm. Compared with the Shu land, which is full of dangers and obstacles, the trip between Wei Guo and South Korea was actually so smooth.
While they were still on the road, the envoy sent by Wei State had already arrived in Qin State.
·
"Meet King Qin."
In the past, the officials of the State of Wei might not have taken the King of Qin seriously, but now the status is different, and the envoy has made an agreement with Li Si, so when he saw the King of Qin, he became much more eager.The envoy raised his head and glanced at the King of Qin, only to find that this King of Qin looked more majestic than the previous King of Qin.
The envoy's legs softened unconsciously, and the words that King Wei specially instructed him were immediately compromised by him, and he said them in a tactful tone.
At this time, Ying Zheng, who was sitting in a high position, had a slightly cold face and a stern tone, "I haven't asked Wei Guo yet, so I treat the envoys sent by me like this."
After Bai Zhou and Gan Tang came back, they told Ying Zheng everything. After Ying Zheng finished listening, he didn't think that it would be good to crush King Wei to death first. Now King Wei wants to tease him. Come.So how courageous is the King of Wei to dare to win the government and rob people with him?
King Wei now seems to respect Qin State very much, but from the actions of King Wei, Ying Zheng can know that King Wei still doesn't take Qin State seriously.
Otherwise, how dare he attack Qin envoys?
Is it really so stupid that lust has fascinated the mind?
The envoy of the State of Wei couldn't help Ying Zheng's threats, and without Ying Zheng saying a few more words, he immediately gave up, knelt down and said, "I will definitely convey King Qin's intentions to King Wei."
"Take him down." Ying Zheng ordered with a gloomy face.
The envoy of the State of Wei shuddered, didn't he think well?Then the King of Qin wouldn't kill him, right?
Qin State has always been a barbaric and belligerent image in the eyes of other countries, the envoy of Wei State couldn't help feeling panic, seeing the tall servant coming forward to send him out, the envoy of Wei State trembled when he was caught in the middle shake.
Ying Zheng watched the person being taken down coldly, almost poking a hole in the table with the pen knife in his hand.
If it hadn't been for Bai Zhou who had already confessed that this person was attracted by Li Si, he would definitely teach the envoy a lesson.
King Wei always has to pay for the wrong things he did.
Do the six countries still think that Great Qin is the former Qin State?
Ying Zheng put down the pen and knife in his hand, and called Bai Zhou to him, "You said that there is someone beside Xu Fu, who is that person? Tell me in detail." Zheng is naturally more willing to ask Bai Zhou about Xu Fu's current situation.
Bai Zhou vaguely knew the identity of Lord Longyang, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only vaguely say: "That man is extremely beautiful, with charming features, tall, and came out of Wei Palace..."
Even if Bai Zhou didn't say anything, Ying Zheng had already guessed the other party's identity.
If the envoys just left in a hurry, how could the king of Wei send someone to come?It must be that King Wei was slapped heavily in the face and felt extremely ashamed, so he ordered people to come to seek justice with him.
It's just... Ying Zheng sneered.What Xu Fu did, no matter right or wrong, it is impossible for King Wei to seek justice from him.
"Is that man Longyang Lord?" Ying Zheng asked lightly.
Seeing that Ying Zheng's expression was normal, Bai Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and said, "Exactly."
"Lord Longyang, whom King Wei relies heavily on..." Ying Zheng read in a low voice.
Bai Zhou's heart tightened unconsciously, won't the king be angry because of this?
But the next moment, he heard Ying Zheng laughing and said: "Hahaha...Xu Fu dared to abduct Lord Longyang to Qin, and his courage is extraordinary. No wonder Wei Wang jumped."
Bai Zhou: ...
Why does he feel... There is a feeling that no matter what mess Mr. Xu made, the King will clean up the mess with a proud face behind him?
Is it his illusion?
His Majesty is so wise and mighty, this action should have a deep meaning, maybe he thinks that Lord Longyang is very talented, and it would be a pleasure to be included in the Qin Kingdom...
However, although Ying Zheng said so, he still had to make more preparations in secret, lest Xu Fu make a big fuss.
After Ying Zheng made some arrangements, he couldn't help asking Bai Zhou: "When did Xu Fu go to Korea? How long will it take for him to come back?"
Bai Zhou was stunned for a moment, "... At least it should be a month." During this time together, Bai Zhou also understood Xu Fu's temper. Deliberately to appreciate the customs of other countries.
...Less talk...a month...
Ying Zheng felt that this news had a greater impact on him than hearing that Xu Fu brought Lord Longyang back.
Ying Zheng got up and walked out of the hall.
Zhao Gao hurriedly followed, "Your Majesty..."
Ying Zheng said softly, "I have no appetite."
Zhao Gao frowned, and thought of a bad way, "Why don't you invite a few dancers to come..."
Ying Zheng didn't even finish listening, so he interrupted him: "No need, how is Changping Junping's rebellion? Take the report and give it to me."
Zhao Gao immediately swallowed all the words, and his evaluation of Xu Fu's status in his heart secretly raised another level.However, what Zhao Gao was thinking at the moment was that this matter of Xu Dian would not become another Lord Longyang...
Zhao Gao was not happy to see him.
He lowered his head, turned around quickly to get the report, and buried all the thoughts in his mind.
·
noon.
Xu Fu and the others, who had eaten some meals, drove the horse-drawn carriage on the barren road.
Seeing that we are about to reach the border between South Korea and Qin, the road is blocked. The road is blocked by huge stones, and the carriage cannot pass. There must be people in the surrounding towns who can come to build the road, but I don’t know how long it will take for a long time.It is also impossible for Xu Fu and others to abandon the carriage in South Korea. There are too many illegal things in the carriage. If someone has a look, they can guess that it is an official from Qin who came to Korea for a tour.
Come here so low-key, can it not lead to speculation?
So the group had no choice but to find another way, choosing a wider, but also more desolate road.
That road was hidden behind the forest beside the road, and they didn't know where it was ahead, but it was in one direction, and they could always go back to Qin.
But they walked for a long time without seeing any people. Now that spring has passed, and it is summer, when the golden crow is in the sky, it will inevitably make people feel a little irritable.
Xu Fu could only sigh secretly, the flag he set up slapped his face so quickly!Not long ago, I thought that Wei Han's trip was going very smoothly, but now something is not going well.But when the moon is full, it will be a loss. It is normal that some troubles will appear when things are completed so satisfactorily.
Longyang Jun raised the curtain and glanced outside, "We can't go any further."
Sang Zhong also nodded, it was rare that he didn't refute Longyang Jun's words, "It doesn't look right from the front."
Xu Fu was surprisingly calm, "It's an ominous sign when you encounter a boulder blocking your way. But there's nothing to be afraid of, just go forward." This kind of omen means that you can't hide. It is precisely because of this reason to find the way forward.Facing difficulties is the final solution.
Lord Longyang was stunned, never thought that Xu Fu would say such a thing, Lord Longyang has his own self-confidence, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The envoy is so sure? What should I do if I encounter disaster when I go forward?" After finishing speaking, he paused , and said: "The appearance of the envoy seems to be really good at divination."
The corners of Sang Zhong's mouth twitched slightly.Xindao, the envoy in front of you, he not only knows the art of divination, but also is extremely accurate and exquisite!
Sang Zhong and Jian Jia naturally listened to Xu Fu, and they were the ones driving the car. Now that Xu Fu spoke, of course they continued to move forward.
"The horse may not be able to support it." Sitting on the other carriage, Wang Liu poked his head out and frowned slightly.
He was telling the truth.
They ran all the way, people had rested well, but horses may not have rested well, and when they came to South Korea, not only people were prone to acclimatization, but horses would also.Now that the Golden Crow is in the sky, it is very normal for the horse to get tired.
"It's okay, we're going to stop soon." Xu Fu said in the same tone as before.
Lord Longyang was curious, and wanted to know why Xu Fu was so confident, so he stopped talking.
The carriage drove forward for a while, when Xu Fu suddenly said, "Stop."
Everyone was startled, and just about to ask out their puzzlement, they saw a group of people coming out of the forest ahead.
The passerby was still holding a torch in broad daylight, and smeared himself completely black, a bit like the dancers at the wax ceremony.
Lord Longyang became even more curious, "What does the envoy mean, if someone comes, we don't have to go forward?"
Xu Fu nodded, his gaze firmly fixed on the pedestrian.
In fact, he can see that someone is coming, and it has nothing to do with physiognomy, the relationship lies in observing the subtleties.Suddenly, many birds flapped their wings and flew away in the forest ahead, either giant animals were walking through it, or there were people walking in it.But where are the giant animals here?The biggest possibility is people.As long as someone appears, they can also take a rest, ask for directions, find an accurate direction, or find a place to stay.
It's just that Xu Fu didn't expect that the people who came out were dressed so weirdly.
"Don't move yet."
"Retreat!"
Xu Fu and Long Yangjun said two completely different words.
The two couldn't help but looked at each other.
Of course, they all felt that this group of people was dressed in a weird way and they couldn't run into it. If they met someone who was unreasonable and didn't understand the language, they might be in big trouble today.
Xu Fu hesitated for a while, and now it was too late to retreat, and he would still be blocked by boulders, but rushing upwards was not a good choice either.
"Wait aside." Xu Fu said.
Lord Longyang couldn't help asking: "Won't the envoy feel afraid?"
Xu Fu was indeed very courageous, he shook his head, "Worriless is fearless."
Lord Longyang nodded and smiled, "Then I will trust the envoy once."
Xu Fu glanced at him, "We are together now, Lord Longyang has to believe it if he doesn't believe it."
In fact, Xu Fu was relatively familiar with dealing with such emergencies.These people looked as if they were going to hold some sacrificial activities, such an activity related to feudal superstition, couldn't Xu Fu, the magic stick who had dealt with him since childhood, still be able to solve it?
The passerby noticed Xu Fu and the others, and glanced at them ferociously. One of them walked over quickly, holding a sickle in his hand, and asked, "Who is it?"
Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had a strong accent, he could understand what he was saying anyway.
Xu Fu's face was extremely deceptive, he poked his head out, and explained lightly: "I accidentally went the wrong way, please show me the way, thank you."
"Where are you going?"
"The South Korean border."
"Walk through this forest, be careful not to damage the forest." Although the man had a fierce face, he still answered Xu Fu's question seriously.
Everyone didn't expect it to be so easy, so they quickly thanked the man, and drove the carriage to the forest.
Xu Fu scanned among the pedestrians, but saw a few people who were not dressed like this.
It was a few old and weak women who were caught in the middle and led to an open space not far away.
Some people have already gone to the open space, built fires, set up tripods, and danced in circles.
"What is this?" Xu Fu had never seen such a custom before, so he couldn't help asking.
Lord Longyang showed an expression of sudden realization, and said in a low voice: "There is a custom that is very common in agricultural land. That is 'eating mother'."
"Eating mother?" Xu Fu's face changed slightly, "These people want to eat their mother?"
Lord Longyang shook his head, "That's not the case. To eat the mother is to transfer the farming experience from the mother to the descendants through special witchcraft, so that the land can be plowed well."
Witchcraft again?
"Then how does this witchcraft work?"
Long Yangjun shook his head, "I don't know either, I just heard such rumors."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a tall man walking to the fire and pushing the elderly women into the fire, but the women didn't even scream.Xu Fu's expression changed, he grabbed the edge of the carriage and was about to jump out.Jian Jia and Sang Zhong's expressions also changed drastically, but they wanted to protect Xu Fu's safety, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
Lord Longyang said sharply: "What do the envoys want to do? Do you sympathize with them?"
Li Si also had an ugly expression on his face, but he had to act out of reason, and said: "The customs of a place have been passed down for many years, and the people in this place will uphold their customs, no matter how absurd the customs are. Once someone touches them, they will be attacked by the crowd." Rise and attack."
Xu Fu knew this.
He also considers himself not the Virgin.
But watching the woman being burned by the fire in front of her, but due to custom, she had to hold back the screams, how painful!How foolish!Don't their souls scream?Can these people really watch their former family members burn to death in the fire?
At this time, the tall man may be a wizard or something. He held up his cane, slapped the women over the heads one by one, and then tapped them on the heads of the people around him, which probably meant inheritance.
But... what the hell kind of inheritance method is this?
Do they think that the fire can burn the souls of women out, and finally take them out of the staff, and give them to their descendants?
How did these descendants endure the pain?
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Xu Fu's mind.
Let's treat this time as a practice...
Xu Fu secretly said.
"I will make a bet with Lord Longyang."
"What bet?" Jun Longyang frowned slightly, could it be that the envoy still didn't give up?
"I'll bet... I can change their customs! And let them stop using this custom for a hundred years or a thousand years!" Xu Fu pointed at a distance, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and he looked at Lord Longyang.
"How to change?" Lord Longyang became more rational, not to mention such a trivial matter, is it worth envoys doing this?
"Just watch." Xu Fu didn't say much anymore, he directly passed Sang Zhong and Jian Jia, jumped off the carriage and walked towards that direction without looking back. Li Si was startled, and hurriedly got out of the carriage, Sang Zhonghe Jianjia ran up directly.
Lord Longyang rubbed his forehead, "I really don't know, is this envoy from the Qin Kingdom really bold, or has the capital to be bold..." After all, he didn't take care of himself, but jumped out of the car.
The movement on this side caught the attention of the people over there.
A group of people surrounding the fire immediately turned their heads and stared closely at Xu Fu.
"What else are you going to do?" The person who had shown them the way before asked coldly.It was as if Xu Fu and his party had invaded their territory, making them tense up instantly.
Sang Zhong and Jian Jia looked back with even colder expressions.
Sang Zhong and Jian Jia's momentum was obviously stronger, and the man couldn't help but retreated, but he held on to the sickle in his hand.
Xu Fu glanced at the fallen women in the fire, and suddenly pointed at them and shouted, "Oops! Look quickly! Move them out soon..."
The group of people were unmoved, and asked coldly: "What do you want to do? Go away!"
Xu Fu winked at Sang Zhong and Jian Jia, and then acted as his magic stick, "Are you all doing this to make the future farming smoother? The harvest will be better?"
The group of people still stared at him vigilantly and indifferently, without moving.
"Can't you see it? If you do this now, it will only make your harvest worse and worse... After a few years, you won't even be able to eat a full meal..."
"Nonsense!" The tall man stood up and refuted Xu Fu's words loudly.
Xu Fu didn't even look at him, but asked instead: "It started last year...Last year, the fertile land was barren, water shortage was severe, harvests were reduced, and taxes were heavy. Are you all panicked? This is why you adopted the custom handed down from your ancestors." , determined to do so in exchange for a smooth year and a good harvest, isn’t it?”
"Say, isn't it!" Xu Fu's tone suddenly changed, and he asked sharply.
In fact, Xu Fu also has a little hard work, but have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?Reminiscing about the classical make-up in TV dramas in his previous life, Xu Fu quickly sketched out a general movement in his mind.
He confidently grabbed the makeup powder.
No matter how bad it is, it is still better dressed than Jian Jia.
Long Yangjun sat there motionless, working as a model very dedicatedly, or he was very curious and enjoyed such an experience that he had never had before.
Xu Fu knelt down in front of Lord Longyang, and stretched out his hands to press his shoulders down.
At this time, there was nothing to moisten the skin, Xu Fu squeezed the makeup powder, frowned, then turned his head and asked Jian Jia: "Is there any water?"
"Yes." Jian Jia hurriedly handed over the gourd on her waist.
Xu Fu took the gourd, opened the stopper, and poured some water out of his palm.Lord Longyang suddenly had a bad premonition and couldn't help shrinking back, but Xu Fu had already pressed up with one hand, and the other directly slapped Lord Longyang on the face.
Everyone in the carriage was stunned.
Xu Fu explained without changing his face: "Knead it to replenish water." He pretended to rub it skillfully on Longyang Jun's face.
Jian Jia swallowed unconsciously, feeling a little guilty.
...There seems to be his saliva in there.
After Xu Fu finished kneading, he patted a thin layer of powder on Longyang Jun's face, then grabbed the rouge and applied it to the corners of his eyes and lips, Jian Jia suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Sir, this can't be done..."
Xu Fu turned his head and gave him a sideways glance.
Jian Jia immediately shut up.
Xu Fu grabbed Luo Zidai again and raised his eyebrows for Lord Longyang.
His appearance was a little focused, and his eyelids were slightly lowered, giving people the illusion of affection.Lord Longyang looked up at him, couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth, and said: "The appearance of the envoy's thrush is really tempting..." As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fu accidentally slipped his hand, Luo Zidai A long black line was drawn on Longyang Jun's face.
Xu Fu put Luo Zidai away, and continued to babble, "...Well, it doesn't look very beautiful either."
Jian Jia involuntarily turned her face away, this is not as good as him...
Lord Longyang grinned, "The envoy said yes, then that's it."
Jian Jia had a horrible expression on his face.
Lord Longyang can really bear it!
Even Xu Fu couldn't help looking at Lord Longyang in surprise.
They would inevitably pass through some small towns on the way, so Lord Longyang put on his face and followed Xu Fu out of the carriage.I don't know if it's a person from a small town, and his aesthetics tends to be curious, so he can be fascinated by such a face.
Lord Longyang stood up straight and followed Xu Fu into the inn.
It's just that as soon as Long Yangjun's figure was shown, everyone felt quite horrified, and said in a low voice: "... Such a strong and strong woman."
Xu Fu and the others quickly booked a room at the inn, because they had already traveled far enough, and they didn't need to be in a hurry anymore.Xu Fu went to take a comfortable bath, and the rest of the people also dispersed to rest.
By the time Xu Fu shivered in a daze and woke up from the water, it was already late.Xu Fu got up and put on his robe, stepped out the door, and immediately saw Mr. Longyang sitting downstairs eating, but there was a strange man sitting opposite Mr. Longyang.
The man was dressed in a gray robe, with a handsome face and a beard. Although his face looked tired from a long journey, it was more calm and serious. He seemed to be a wise and calm person.
Xu Fu was slightly vigilant in his heart, what is the relationship between this person and Lord Longyang?Why is he sitting in front of Lord Longyang?
Xu Fu walked down the stairs and approached lightly.
When he got closer, Xu Fu heard the man say to Lord Longyang: "... I think you will fall into a serious illness soon after seeing your face, and this serious illness may change your life. It's fate, and I'll persuade you one or two."
Xu Fu was stunned.
Such familiar words...
Isn't this what he usually likes to say?
Is this... bumping into a colleague?
Xu Fu's expression couldn't help being a little weird.
At this time, the man also noticed Xu Fu's arrival, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he stood up.
Long Yangjun stood up right after him.
"Who is this?" Xu Fu looked at Lord Longyang.
"I happened to meet, and this gentleman said the same thing as you." Longyang Jun said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, the other party was also a little surprised. He took a deep look at Xu Fu and asked, "You said the same thing as me?"
Xu Fu nodded, "I didn't expect such a coincidence."
The other party shook his head, "It's not a coincidence."
What's the meaning?Xu Fu couldn't understand the deep meaning, but he wasn't curious about it, so he let it go.
The man turned his head back and continued to say to Lord Longyang: "Although your fate has changed, you should be careful, especially in this year, you should change your temper, act in a low-key manner, and be more restrained. Wouldn't it be a pity to come out of the place and take a look outside, so as not to be ruined by a momentary depression or an illness?"
Li Si also came out at this moment, seeing the man, Li Si frowned and said, "Your Excellency looks familiar." As he spoke, he stood in front of Xu Fu without a trace, a little worried that this man was here to make trouble.
The man moved his eyes away indistinctly, "Oh, is that so? You and I should have never met each other before, so let's take my leave." The man left first after speaking.
Xu Fu asked Lord Longyang: "Just now he was telling your fortune?"
Long Yangjun nodded, and said something that surprised Xu Fu, "He is just like you, he only took one look at me before he said this."
Just glanced at it?
Does that person also look at faces?
Xu Fu raised his head and hurriedly looked in the direction where the person left, but the person had already left the inn, and he couldn't even find his back.
Sure enough, even thousands of years ago, there were people beyond people, and heaven beyond heaven.He shouldn't underestimate this era...
I just don't know if there will be a chance to see that man again.
With a mood of anticipation, Xu Fu and his party quickly set off on the road again, and it just happened to be such a coincidence that after they had been on the road for a short time, when they were approaching the Qin state, they ran into the man again. Huidi entered the territory of Qin State.However, Xu Fu and others took a temporary detour and turned to South Korea.
It's just that Xu Fu sent Gan Tang and Bai Zhou back to Xianyang City.
Regardless of whether the king of Wei will make trouble or not, they have to fight back first, and prepare a sufficient excuse for the envoy to leave early.
Why did the envoys leave? Wei Wang first approached Xu Fu shamelessly, and he deserved the slap in the face.As long as you grasp this point and hide Lord Longyang firmly, it is impossible for the king of Wei to go to war with the state of Qin for this.At this time, Qin Guo took the initiative to show a magnanimous appearance, approached the envoy who came, and made the matter of mutual alliance look like that.
Compared with forming an alliance with the State of Wei just after arriving in the State of Wei, it would be more convincing for other countries to have such conflicts first and then to form an alliance.Who made Wei State look down on Qin State in the past, and had a suspicion with Qin State?
At least South Korea will be bluffed, and there is no way to seek help from Wei Guo.
With Wei Guo in front, South Korea will be much easier to start with.
Li Si dealt with Korean officials in a good manner, but Xu Fu did not show up with Li Si, but took Long Yangjun around to find the whereabouts of the tripod.
"The envoy is still so interested in the tripod? Could it be that the Qin Palace can't produce a tripod?" Lord Longyang was puzzled.In the first half of his life, he dealt with the schemes of seizing favor, politics and diplomacy, how could he understand the leisurely mind of looking for a tripod?
"Naturally there are countless tripods in the Qin Palace, but none of them are the one I'm looking for."
"Oh? Is there something special about that cauldron?" Longyang Jun became more interested and asked involuntarily.
"Small and exquisite, it can be held in the hand, with complicated textures, exquisite atmosphere, and ancient characters engraved on the tripod."
"Isn't this kind of cauldron seen everywhere?" Longyang Jun laughed.He followed the King of Wei, and naturally he had seen countless good things. How could such a tripod be rare?
Xu Fu shook his head, turned around and called, "Sang Zhong."
Sang Zhong stepped forward, secretly glanced at Longyang Jun vigilantly, and then took out a small cauldron from his bosom.
It is a little exaggerated to say that it can be held in the hand. Although it is small and exquisite, it must be held in the arms.
Lord Longyang's eyes touched the body of the cauldron, and his eyes flashed with amazement, "There are certainly more gorgeous cauldrons, but they are not as good as the heavy aura exuding from this tripod. It is really interesting. The envoy wants to find Yes, is this the tripod?"
Xu Fu nodded, "Exactly."
The coldness on Longyang Jun's face faded completely, he raised his hand to caress the tripod twice, and then said: "I seem to have seen a tripod similar to this."
"Where did you see it?" Xu Fu asked immediately, and only then would he let go of his cold appearance.
Lord Longyang withdrew his hand, "I seem to have put away the tripod, but it's not by my side. It's still in Wei State."
"In Wei State?" It turns out that Wei State is not in South Korea.
Xu Fu frowned, secretly thinking that Li Si's news was not reliable.
"The envoys don't need to worry. If you really need this thing, I will order someone to send it."
"Can you return to Wei State?"
Lord Longyang lowered his eyelids, and said casually: "I don't need to go back, the thing can naturally be delivered to the envoy, but the envoy takes my things, what can I get in exchange?"
Xu Fu said cheekily: "I saved your life, isn't the life of Lord Longyang not as valuable as that tripod?" In what Lord Longyang said, maybe he dug a hole for him to jump in. Why did he bother to be so sincere and agree? , Said that he would exchange things with Longyang Jun in the future.
Lord Longyang nodded, "Then my life will be in the hands of the envoy."
Xu Fu glanced at him, always felt that his behavior was a little weird, but he suddenly couldn't tell what was weird.
Now that Ding's whereabouts were known, Xu Fu and Lord Longyang did not stay outside for a long time, and they returned to the inn soon.Now Mr. Longyang is still dressed as a woman, and Xu Fu's makeup skills have risen by more than one level. When Mr. Longyang goes out, except for his height, which is slightly taller than Xu Fu, just looking at his face, he already looks like a girl. She was a charming woman who was completely different from his real temperament.
Wang Liu wandered the streets and alleys, looking for someone to tell a fortune teller.
Only Jian Jia and Sang Zhong honestly guarded Xu Fu's door, while Lord Long Yang had no one to follow, and would sit downstairs and have a drink from time to time, but no one dared to approach him.
After nightfall, the number of people in the inn gradually decreased, but at this moment, there was a creaking sound, and Li Si, who was wrapped in dew, came in.Li Si's face was not relaxed, but Longyang Jun glanced at him, not surprised, and asked directly: "It seems that Li Changshi's contact must have failed."
"Failure?" Xu Fu came downstairs, frowning.
South Korea is hard to find real talented people nowadays. Could it be that South Korean officials are more difficult to impress than Wei State officials, and even Li Si can't move his mouth?
Li Si came striding forward, and said to Xu Fu solemnly, "Please discuss the matter with me."
Li Si also knew that Lord Longyang was a talented person, but after all, he was Wei Guo's male favourite, and he had been envoys to other countries, but he was doing it for the benefit of Wei Wang, so naturally he couldn't say some things in front of him.And Li Si's trust in Xu Fu was already very high. In his opinion, talking with Xu Fu at this time would definitely yield something.
The two went upstairs, Jian Jia and Sang Zhong stood guard outside.
"But encountered difficulties?" Xu Fu asked aloud.
Li Si sighed, "I never thought that this Korean man has such shallow eyelids."
"How to make a shallow method?"
"The officials of the Wei state are interested in power, status, and future promotion. But the South Korean officials are interested in gold, silver and jewelry." Li Si shook his head, "cooperate with them, and they will ask for money."
It's really vulgar and practical.
Although it is said that South Korean officials seem to be a bit of a philistine, and not as ambitious as Wei's officials, it has to be said that South Korean officials' demands are more practical.If you want to talk to me, you need to get money first. I can only help you when I get actual benefits. If you talk about promotion or future with me, I won't listen to you.
Just in Li Si's eyes, it would make his teeth itch.
South Korean officials are so short-sighted, no wonder South Korea is getting worse than before.
"Then find some gold, silver and jewelry."
Li Si shook his head, "When I left, I didn't ask the king to prepare a lot of money." Moreover, Li Si somewhat looked down on these officials and was not very happy to spend money on them.
During the period of King Qin Huiwen, there was Zhang Yi, who spoke all over the world with one mouth.
Thinking about it now, he thinks highly of himself.
Li Si sighed lightly.
He could think of the methods used by monarchs and ministers to sow discord, but he never thought that the officials of different countries are so different, and the interests that can move them are naturally different, and it is only correct to prescribe the right medicine.
"It's that simple." There was no trace of anxiety on Xu Fu's face.
"Why did you say that?" Li Si was taken aback.
"Mr. Longyang is rich, just ask him to borrow it."
Li Si frowned, "He left in a hurry from Wei, will he carry it with him?"
Xu Fu snorted softly, "He didn't bring it with him, but his followers did. Do you really think that he came with us alone?" Xu Fu didn't notice it before, and Lord Longyang said that when he was looking for the cauldron today. It was these words that made Xu Fu firm in his thoughts.
Li Si nodded, "We can't leave empty-handed on this trip, we change our plan, and it's enough to win only one person."
"Remember to take Wang Liu with you."
Li Si smiled, relieved, "It's natural."
But when Li Si stepped out of the room, he suddenly remembered that Mr. Longyang was cold and arrogant by nature, and he was even more difficult to talk about than Xu Dianshi. Besides, Mr. Longyang himself was a good talker, so how could he obediently lend him money? ?
Li Si was talking secretly in his heart, and when he took two steps forward, he saw Lord Longyang standing opposite him, raised his head and smiled, "Is there something wrong with Li Changshi?"
Li Si was not hypocritical, he immediately bowed and begged, "I have a request..."
"Ask me to borrow money?" Mr. Longyang seemed to be a prophet.
However, considering that Korea and Wei had a good relationship in the past, and that Mr. Longyang had even been sent to Korea as an envoy, Li Si was not surprised.
"Exactly."
"It's fine to borrow money, but Chang Shi still has to ask the envoy for me, what can I get in exchange for it?" Lord Longyang said indifferently: "Longyang's life can't be worth so many things."
Xu Fu also came out of the house at this time, and when he heard Lord Longyang say this, he was even more puzzled, why did Lord Longyang insist on asking him to exchange things?Do you want to owe him a favor?Xu Fu stared at Longyang Jun's face for a while.
Both of them had a paralyzed face, and no one could tell the winner.
Xu Fu couldn't see anything, so he could only nod his head, "Mr. Longyang wrote it down. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely be with Lord Longyang."
Seeing this, Li Si hurriedly said: "This is what I owe Lord Longyang, how can I write it down to Mr.?"
"It's okay."
Li Si opened up territory for Qin Shihuang and won people's hearts.And although he slept with Qin Shihuang for a few times, in essence, he is closer to Qin Shihuang now, so why not pay a little?Today he owes Lord Longyang, and if he returns to Xianyang City another day, isn't it because Qin Shihuang owes him?
This kind of business is still quite cost-effective.
Lord Longyang then smiled and said: "My envoy is quick, I have ordered people to find the tripod. I have ordered people to prepare the money that Li Changshi asked for. Li Changshi might as well go back to the house to have a look. "
Was it already expected?Xu Fu couldn't help but look at Longyang Jun more.
He was older than Li Si, and indeed he was older than Li Si.
To say that they abducted Lord Longyang, might as well say that Lord Longyang had other plans.
Li Si also took a deep look at Longyang Jun before turning around and leaving.
In any case, the tripod that Xu Fu asked for had been found, and the money Li Si asked for was also obtained. Li Si took Wang Liu and went there.
Xu Fu never thought that this journey would be so smooth and calm. Compared with the Shu land, which is full of dangers and obstacles, the trip between Wei Guo and South Korea was actually so smooth.
While they were still on the road, the envoy sent by Wei State had already arrived in Qin State.
·
"Meet King Qin."
In the past, the officials of the State of Wei might not have taken the King of Qin seriously, but now the status is different, and the envoy has made an agreement with Li Si, so when he saw the King of Qin, he became much more eager.The envoy raised his head and glanced at the King of Qin, only to find that this King of Qin looked more majestic than the previous King of Qin.
The envoy's legs softened unconsciously, and the words that King Wei specially instructed him were immediately compromised by him, and he said them in a tactful tone.
At this time, Ying Zheng, who was sitting in a high position, had a slightly cold face and a stern tone, "I haven't asked Wei Guo yet, so I treat the envoys sent by me like this."
After Bai Zhou and Gan Tang came back, they told Ying Zheng everything. After Ying Zheng finished listening, he didn't think that it would be good to crush King Wei to death first. Now King Wei wants to tease him. Come.So how courageous is the King of Wei to dare to win the government and rob people with him?
King Wei now seems to respect Qin State very much, but from the actions of King Wei, Ying Zheng can know that King Wei still doesn't take Qin State seriously.
Otherwise, how dare he attack Qin envoys?
Is it really so stupid that lust has fascinated the mind?
The envoy of the State of Wei couldn't help Ying Zheng's threats, and without Ying Zheng saying a few more words, he immediately gave up, knelt down and said, "I will definitely convey King Qin's intentions to King Wei."
"Take him down." Ying Zheng ordered with a gloomy face.
The envoy of the State of Wei shuddered, didn't he think well?Then the King of Qin wouldn't kill him, right?
Qin State has always been a barbaric and belligerent image in the eyes of other countries, the envoy of Wei State couldn't help feeling panic, seeing the tall servant coming forward to send him out, the envoy of Wei State trembled when he was caught in the middle shake.
Ying Zheng watched the person being taken down coldly, almost poking a hole in the table with the pen knife in his hand.
If it hadn't been for Bai Zhou who had already confessed that this person was attracted by Li Si, he would definitely teach the envoy a lesson.
King Wei always has to pay for the wrong things he did.
Do the six countries still think that Great Qin is the former Qin State?
Ying Zheng put down the pen and knife in his hand, and called Bai Zhou to him, "You said that there is someone beside Xu Fu, who is that person? Tell me in detail." Zheng is naturally more willing to ask Bai Zhou about Xu Fu's current situation.
Bai Zhou vaguely knew the identity of Lord Longyang, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only vaguely say: "That man is extremely beautiful, with charming features, tall, and came out of Wei Palace..."
Even if Bai Zhou didn't say anything, Ying Zheng had already guessed the other party's identity.
If the envoys just left in a hurry, how could the king of Wei send someone to come?It must be that King Wei was slapped heavily in the face and felt extremely ashamed, so he ordered people to come to seek justice with him.
It's just... Ying Zheng sneered.What Xu Fu did, no matter right or wrong, it is impossible for King Wei to seek justice from him.
"Is that man Longyang Lord?" Ying Zheng asked lightly.
Seeing that Ying Zheng's expression was normal, Bai Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and said, "Exactly."
"Lord Longyang, whom King Wei relies heavily on..." Ying Zheng read in a low voice.
Bai Zhou's heart tightened unconsciously, won't the king be angry because of this?
But the next moment, he heard Ying Zheng laughing and said: "Hahaha...Xu Fu dared to abduct Lord Longyang to Qin, and his courage is extraordinary. No wonder Wei Wang jumped."
Bai Zhou: ...
Why does he feel... There is a feeling that no matter what mess Mr. Xu made, the King will clean up the mess with a proud face behind him?
Is it his illusion?
His Majesty is so wise and mighty, this action should have a deep meaning, maybe he thinks that Lord Longyang is very talented, and it would be a pleasure to be included in the Qin Kingdom...
However, although Ying Zheng said so, he still had to make more preparations in secret, lest Xu Fu make a big fuss.
After Ying Zheng made some arrangements, he couldn't help asking Bai Zhou: "When did Xu Fu go to Korea? How long will it take for him to come back?"
Bai Zhou was stunned for a moment, "... At least it should be a month." During this time together, Bai Zhou also understood Xu Fu's temper. Deliberately to appreciate the customs of other countries.
...Less talk...a month...
Ying Zheng felt that this news had a greater impact on him than hearing that Xu Fu brought Lord Longyang back.
Ying Zheng got up and walked out of the hall.
Zhao Gao hurriedly followed, "Your Majesty..."
Ying Zheng said softly, "I have no appetite."
Zhao Gao frowned, and thought of a bad way, "Why don't you invite a few dancers to come..."
Ying Zheng didn't even finish listening, so he interrupted him: "No need, how is Changping Junping's rebellion? Take the report and give it to me."
Zhao Gao immediately swallowed all the words, and his evaluation of Xu Fu's status in his heart secretly raised another level.However, what Zhao Gao was thinking at the moment was that this matter of Xu Dian would not become another Lord Longyang...
Zhao Gao was not happy to see him.
He lowered his head, turned around quickly to get the report, and buried all the thoughts in his mind.
·
noon.
Xu Fu and the others, who had eaten some meals, drove the horse-drawn carriage on the barren road.
Seeing that we are about to reach the border between South Korea and Qin, the road is blocked. The road is blocked by huge stones, and the carriage cannot pass. There must be people in the surrounding towns who can come to build the road, but I don’t know how long it will take for a long time.It is also impossible for Xu Fu and others to abandon the carriage in South Korea. There are too many illegal things in the carriage. If someone has a look, they can guess that it is an official from Qin who came to Korea for a tour.
Come here so low-key, can it not lead to speculation?
So the group had no choice but to find another way, choosing a wider, but also more desolate road.
That road was hidden behind the forest beside the road, and they didn't know where it was ahead, but it was in one direction, and they could always go back to Qin.
But they walked for a long time without seeing any people. Now that spring has passed, and it is summer, when the golden crow is in the sky, it will inevitably make people feel a little irritable.
Xu Fu could only sigh secretly, the flag he set up slapped his face so quickly!Not long ago, I thought that Wei Han's trip was going very smoothly, but now something is not going well.But when the moon is full, it will be a loss. It is normal that some troubles will appear when things are completed so satisfactorily.
Longyang Jun raised the curtain and glanced outside, "We can't go any further."
Sang Zhong also nodded, it was rare that he didn't refute Longyang Jun's words, "It doesn't look right from the front."
Xu Fu was surprisingly calm, "It's an ominous sign when you encounter a boulder blocking your way. But there's nothing to be afraid of, just go forward." This kind of omen means that you can't hide. It is precisely because of this reason to find the way forward.Facing difficulties is the final solution.
Lord Longyang was stunned, never thought that Xu Fu would say such a thing, Lord Longyang has his own self-confidence, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The envoy is so sure? What should I do if I encounter disaster when I go forward?" After finishing speaking, he paused , and said: "The appearance of the envoy seems to be really good at divination."
The corners of Sang Zhong's mouth twitched slightly.Xindao, the envoy in front of you, he not only knows the art of divination, but also is extremely accurate and exquisite!
Sang Zhong and Jian Jia naturally listened to Xu Fu, and they were the ones driving the car. Now that Xu Fu spoke, of course they continued to move forward.
"The horse may not be able to support it." Sitting on the other carriage, Wang Liu poked his head out and frowned slightly.
He was telling the truth.
They ran all the way, people had rested well, but horses may not have rested well, and when they came to South Korea, not only people were prone to acclimatization, but horses would also.Now that the Golden Crow is in the sky, it is very normal for the horse to get tired.
"It's okay, we're going to stop soon." Xu Fu said in the same tone as before.
Lord Longyang was curious, and wanted to know why Xu Fu was so confident, so he stopped talking.
The carriage drove forward for a while, when Xu Fu suddenly said, "Stop."
Everyone was startled, and just about to ask out their puzzlement, they saw a group of people coming out of the forest ahead.
The passerby was still holding a torch in broad daylight, and smeared himself completely black, a bit like the dancers at the wax ceremony.
Lord Longyang became even more curious, "What does the envoy mean, if someone comes, we don't have to go forward?"
Xu Fu nodded, his gaze firmly fixed on the pedestrian.
In fact, he can see that someone is coming, and it has nothing to do with physiognomy, the relationship lies in observing the subtleties.Suddenly, many birds flapped their wings and flew away in the forest ahead, either giant animals were walking through it, or there were people walking in it.But where are the giant animals here?The biggest possibility is people.As long as someone appears, they can also take a rest, ask for directions, find an accurate direction, or find a place to stay.
It's just that Xu Fu didn't expect that the people who came out were dressed so weirdly.
"Don't move yet."
"Retreat!"
Xu Fu and Long Yangjun said two completely different words.
The two couldn't help but looked at each other.
Of course, they all felt that this group of people was dressed in a weird way and they couldn't run into it. If they met someone who was unreasonable and didn't understand the language, they might be in big trouble today.
Xu Fu hesitated for a while, and now it was too late to retreat, and he would still be blocked by boulders, but rushing upwards was not a good choice either.
"Wait aside." Xu Fu said.
Lord Longyang couldn't help asking: "Won't the envoy feel afraid?"
Xu Fu was indeed very courageous, he shook his head, "Worriless is fearless."
Lord Longyang nodded and smiled, "Then I will trust the envoy once."
Xu Fu glanced at him, "We are together now, Lord Longyang has to believe it if he doesn't believe it."
In fact, Xu Fu was relatively familiar with dealing with such emergencies.These people looked as if they were going to hold some sacrificial activities, such an activity related to feudal superstition, couldn't Xu Fu, the magic stick who had dealt with him since childhood, still be able to solve it?
The passerby noticed Xu Fu and the others, and glanced at them ferociously. One of them walked over quickly, holding a sickle in his hand, and asked, "Who is it?"
Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had a strong accent, he could understand what he was saying anyway.
Xu Fu's face was extremely deceptive, he poked his head out, and explained lightly: "I accidentally went the wrong way, please show me the way, thank you."
"Where are you going?"
"The South Korean border."
"Walk through this forest, be careful not to damage the forest." Although the man had a fierce face, he still answered Xu Fu's question seriously.
Everyone didn't expect it to be so easy, so they quickly thanked the man, and drove the carriage to the forest.
Xu Fu scanned among the pedestrians, but saw a few people who were not dressed like this.
It was a few old and weak women who were caught in the middle and led to an open space not far away.
Some people have already gone to the open space, built fires, set up tripods, and danced in circles.
"What is this?" Xu Fu had never seen such a custom before, so he couldn't help asking.
Lord Longyang showed an expression of sudden realization, and said in a low voice: "There is a custom that is very common in agricultural land. That is 'eating mother'."
"Eating mother?" Xu Fu's face changed slightly, "These people want to eat their mother?"
Lord Longyang shook his head, "That's not the case. To eat the mother is to transfer the farming experience from the mother to the descendants through special witchcraft, so that the land can be plowed well."
Witchcraft again?
"Then how does this witchcraft work?"
Long Yangjun shook his head, "I don't know either, I just heard such rumors."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a tall man walking to the fire and pushing the elderly women into the fire, but the women didn't even scream.Xu Fu's expression changed, he grabbed the edge of the carriage and was about to jump out.Jian Jia and Sang Zhong's expressions also changed drastically, but they wanted to protect Xu Fu's safety, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
Lord Longyang said sharply: "What do the envoys want to do? Do you sympathize with them?"
Li Si also had an ugly expression on his face, but he had to act out of reason, and said: "The customs of a place have been passed down for many years, and the people in this place will uphold their customs, no matter how absurd the customs are. Once someone touches them, they will be attacked by the crowd." Rise and attack."
Xu Fu knew this.
He also considers himself not the Virgin.
But watching the woman being burned by the fire in front of her, but due to custom, she had to hold back the screams, how painful!How foolish!Don't their souls scream?Can these people really watch their former family members burn to death in the fire?
At this time, the tall man may be a wizard or something. He held up his cane, slapped the women over the heads one by one, and then tapped them on the heads of the people around him, which probably meant inheritance.
But... what the hell kind of inheritance method is this?
Do they think that the fire can burn the souls of women out, and finally take them out of the staff, and give them to their descendants?
How did these descendants endure the pain?
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Xu Fu's mind.
Let's treat this time as a practice...
Xu Fu secretly said.
"I will make a bet with Lord Longyang."
"What bet?" Jun Longyang frowned slightly, could it be that the envoy still didn't give up?
"I'll bet... I can change their customs! And let them stop using this custom for a hundred years or a thousand years!" Xu Fu pointed at a distance, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and he looked at Lord Longyang.
"How to change?" Lord Longyang became more rational, not to mention such a trivial matter, is it worth envoys doing this?
"Just watch." Xu Fu didn't say much anymore, he directly passed Sang Zhong and Jian Jia, jumped off the carriage and walked towards that direction without looking back. Li Si was startled, and hurriedly got out of the carriage, Sang Zhonghe Jianjia ran up directly.
Lord Longyang rubbed his forehead, "I really don't know, is this envoy from the Qin Kingdom really bold, or has the capital to be bold..." After all, he didn't take care of himself, but jumped out of the car.
The movement on this side caught the attention of the people over there.
A group of people surrounding the fire immediately turned their heads and stared closely at Xu Fu.
"What else are you going to do?" The person who had shown them the way before asked coldly.It was as if Xu Fu and his party had invaded their territory, making them tense up instantly.
Sang Zhong and Jian Jia looked back with even colder expressions.
Sang Zhong and Jian Jia's momentum was obviously stronger, and the man couldn't help but retreated, but he held on to the sickle in his hand.
Xu Fu glanced at the fallen women in the fire, and suddenly pointed at them and shouted, "Oops! Look quickly! Move them out soon..."
The group of people were unmoved, and asked coldly: "What do you want to do? Go away!"
Xu Fu winked at Sang Zhong and Jian Jia, and then acted as his magic stick, "Are you all doing this to make the future farming smoother? The harvest will be better?"
The group of people still stared at him vigilantly and indifferently, without moving.
"Can't you see it? If you do this now, it will only make your harvest worse and worse... After a few years, you won't even be able to eat a full meal..."
"Nonsense!" The tall man stood up and refuted Xu Fu's words loudly.
Xu Fu didn't even look at him, but asked instead: "It started last year...Last year, the fertile land was barren, water shortage was severe, harvests were reduced, and taxes were heavy. Are you all panicked? This is why you adopted the custom handed down from your ancestors." , determined to do so in exchange for a smooth year and a good harvest, isn’t it?”
"Say, isn't it!" Xu Fu's tone suddenly changed, and he asked sharply.
