Chapter 257: Past Situation
Thinking in his heart, Xu Fu said quietly: "Just now you said that you wanted me to go home, right?" Why? ”
Mo Yan glanced at him and said, "Are you planning to repeat the mistakes of last year?" ”
"Last year...... The mistake ......" Xu Fu was secretly frightened. www.biquge.info Last year, it was also such a late summer, when he accompanied the emperor to the east to the seaside, he witnessed the image of the mountain peaks and strange rocks faintly appearing on the sea, like a miracle, which made everyone breathtaking. Xu Fu and other cadres took this opportunity to speak, calling this a sense of immortality in the emperor's respect for the immortal road, opening the door of the fairy mountain, if you go to the court at this time, ask for the elixir, you will be able to realize the dream of the emperor to become an immortal.
So, just like today's scene, the emperor sent Xu Fu to lead the fleet to the sea to patrol the east. Unexpectedly, three months passed in a flash, Xu Fu returned is returned, but his fleet was lost by most of it, claiming that when he was about to arrive at Xianshan, he met the sea god who guarded the mountain, and was furious because the comer did not bring sacrifices, and set off a monstrous wave, knocking most of the ship's personnel into the sea, if it weren't for Xu Fu's strange arts, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape.
Because of this, I have set off again today. And this time, Xu Fu not only brought a large number of gold, silver, pearls, jade, and rare treasures, but also brought countless poultry and livestock, and even 500 boys and girls in the name of offering living sacrifices to Haifu!
Xu Fu had always felt that this matter had been done seamlessly, and almost no one knew about it except for himself and a very small number of cronies, but when he saw Mo Yan looking at him with a soul-like gaze that penetrated his soul, he hesitated a little, could it be ...... This kid already knows everything?
But in any case, he couldn't help but admit himself, and immediately smiled: "This year is naturally different from last year, we have made more adequate preparations, and we can get twice the result with half the effort!" ”
Mo Yan pondered for a moment and then said, "Do you remember Ge Tan? ”
As soon as he heard this name, Xu Fu involuntarily took two steps back and exclaimed, "You...... Do you know Ge Tan? ”
Mo Yan nodded, "You never thought that he would survive and return to Middle-earth, right?" ”
This time, Xu Fu couldn't say a word except for surprise.
When they went to sea last year, Ge Tan was a small official in the team, he was relatively silent, but he knew the ship very well, and he was a very good technician, responsible for the maintenance and repair of the ship. But in the team that returned home, there was no longer this person, Xu Fu and his party thought that he had been buried in the sea, and they never imagined that he was still alive......
If that's the case, it's probably not surprising that Mo Yan would know about last year's eastern tour. Xu Fu suddenly felt a great uneasiness in his heart, just because of this factor, he already understood why Mo Yan wanted him to return!
And Mo Yan will intervene in this matter, which is both accidental and inevitable.
Last winter, a guest suddenly came to the Shoufu of Hedong County, who came to find Yuebi. This person was dusty and infected with a severe wind chill, and when he saw Yue Bi, he was almost dying, and the ordinary doctor was completely helpless, so in desperation, Yue Bi had no choice but to ask Mo Yan for help.
After Mo Yan treated the man, he found that he was not just suffering from wind and cold, but had already suffered from severe kidney disease, and this disease had a lot to do with the fact that this person had been soaked in cold water for a long time! Excessive depletion, lack of surgery, although medicine can prolong life, but it is short-lived.
This patient is none other than Ge Tan. He had worshiped the same master with Yuebi in the early years, and he was also considered to be the same family, but in desperation, he came to Yuebi. Unexpectedly, after many years, he would have seen his old friends, and he should have had a good time, but he ended up with such an ending that his friends ended up for him.
But in the last short time together, Ge Tan told Yue Bi and Mo Yan a shocking secret, that is, the so-called Eastern Tour was simply a scam concocted by Xu Fu!
Soon after the people in the Eastern Patrol team went out to sea, they already knew that the so-called immortal mountain image was just a mirage, a phantom, on the other side of the sea, there was no so-called fairyland at all, and what all of them had reached with all their best efforts was just a vast desert island!
At first, everyone thought that this incident would be quite a blow to Master Xu, and they didn't dare to say more, just silently preparing for the return trip. Unexpectedly, by an unexpected opportunity, Ge Tan overheard Xu Fu and his cronies' secret conversation, and what he expressed was not an accident or disappointment at all, but the achievement of a completely different plan!
That's right, from the beginning, Xu Fu already knew that the purpose of the eastern tour to the sea would not be to visit any immortal mountain, and their small group of people was looking for a place to establish a new empire that belonged to them at the beginning!
Ge Tan was extremely indignant when he learned the truth, and told some of his colleagues about the incident, and some of them were like him, resolutely opposed such a ridiculous move, but there were also some people who actually felt that this matter was promising, and supported Xu Fulai!
And what Xu Fu is best at is the art of advocacy, several times of incitement, most people actually feel that this is the biggest opportunity in their lives, the attraction of the founding ministers is so great that people lose their minds and become the embrace of Xu Fu and others.
And just a few days later, one night, all the people who opposed Xu Fu disappeared! Xu Fu actually explained afterwards that it was because some of these people's actions angered the sea god and they were taken to the deep sea hell to suffer!
At the same time, Xu Fu also announced his next plan, which was to venture back to Middle-earth again, this time, not only to bring back a large amount of wealth and supplies, but also to bring one of the most important conditions for the success of his empire: new people!
This new grand plan, Ge Tan, who was tied up and thrown into the sea in the middle of the night, did not hear it, and even he himself did not expect that he relied on his excellent water nature and survival ability to survive at sea like this, and was rescued by a fishing boat and brought back to his hometown that he missed day and night!
But it was too late, they had already been removed from the ranks of officials, and even their family members and relatives had all disappeared mysteriously, and in a few months, he had become a living dead with no identity, no relatives, and no future.
After taking care of the aftermath for Ge Tan with his own hands, although Yue Bi felt deep regret and grief, he always had doubts about what Ge Tan said. Although Xu Fu has some skills, he wants to build a country by himself, which is really incredible! It's very simple, when the emperor sees that he hasn't returned for a long time, won't he send someone to look for him? Once you find him and find out that the reason why he didn't go back is actually because he established a new country, won't he send troops to fight against him? How can they, the literati, defend the country they have built without being armed?
Even if the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty never discovered what he had done, how easy would it be to establish a country in the midst of a barrenness? It is very likely that he will die before he gets out of school, and his bones will dry up before he succeeds!
And at that time, Xu Fu had already returned to the dynasty and became his chief priest again, continuing to enjoy his glory and wealth and the emperor's boundless favor, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you want to give up everything to build your own empire!
It wasn't until this year, when the emperor announced the eastern tour again, that Yue Bi remembered this matter again, although he was reluctant to discuss it with Mo Yan, but after all, Mo Yan still had to know more about the affairs of the court, so he had to mention it intentionally or unintentionally. Mo Yan just said that the county guard was only concerned about whether the emperor's trip would have an impact on the local government, and they should not pay attention to the matter of going to sea, so he prevaricated Yuebi.
Only Ru Ji, who had been following him, clearly knew that Mo Yan came out this time and was going towards Xu Fu from the beginning, otherwise he would not have gone straight to the beach without thinking, let alone prepare a small boat and trespass on Xu Fu's Pujia without permission!
