Chapter 333: Three Hundred Boys, Three Hundred Virgins
"What about them, are they all going to rebel?" Under Ren Tanyu's best rescue, Xu Fucai breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that so many people would take advantage of the chaos to escape before leaving, and it took a moment of anger and blood to lead to a coma.
"You can't stay if you should go, please relax gentle!" When it came to this, Ren Tan couldn't think of any better words to comfort him.
"Hurry up, come here, the master wants to lecture!" Fortunately, Steward Xue of the Xu family has not left yet, and only he knows Xu Fu's mind best, so he gathered these people who have not left in a timely manner.
Looking at the sparse dozen or so people lined up in front of him, Xu Fu's heart was dripping blood, but he was also a little relieved that he had just asked the emperor for someone, otherwise these few people who went to sea would definitely die in the vast sea.
Thinking of this, Xu Fu stabilized his sad mood and said loudly: "In such a chaotic situation, those who are willing to stay are my Xu Fu's benefactors, and I won't say anything else, as long as I Xu Fu eats a bite of food from now on, I will never starve everyone, going to sea to find immortals is not necessarily death, they all say that wealth is in danger, I don't think I need to say more, everyone should understand the truth of this!" But don't be discouraged, I have already asked for someone from His Majesty, and I believe that someone will come to support me soon! ”
"Really?"
"That's right, it seems that we still have hope, if we can really find immortals, then we will live forever!"
"You really think, didn't you say it, it's for Your Majesty to find immortals, even if you really find it, what does it have to do with you?"
"No, even if that's the case, then when that fairy sees us, we are all so sincere. Maybe everyone will get a penny, but I don't know? ”
In short, after listening to Xu Fu's words. The few people also started talking. Say anything. There were some people in the middle who were restless and were considering whether to escape.
Seeing that the master was helped into the room by the young man he liked the most, Steward Xue continued: "Actually, we are working for the emperor, and some old people need to stay at home, and the coffin of the lady is still here, but the saint has promised our old lady to bury her with the rites of the princess, and those who can stay are naturally indispensable, so I ask if any of you want to stay?" ”
The voice has been down for a while. The audience was still quiet, and there was no sound of even the whispered discussion just now, of course, this is also a way back for those who want to escape. After all, no one wants to flee unless they have to, and if they want to escape from their master's house at that time, it will be very difficult to go to another house to help in the future. Steward Xue said this, which was also to give the man who was still loyal some way out.
Of course, Steward Xue could also see that some of them were engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, and after a long time, a few of them raised their hands tremblingly and said, "I am willing to stay and do my filial piety for my wife!" ”
In fact, in the Qin Dynasty and even before, the servants or slaves of those big families had no personal dignity at all, they could be said to be an item of the master and could give it to others or exchange anything at any time, from the Warring States period to the unification of the Qin Dynasty was also a great change in Chinese social ideology, a period of transition from a slave society to feudalism. It wasn't until later that the Han Dynasty really entered the feudal society.
And in those days, all servant slaves had to have their own masters as their biological parents, so these people would say that. And Steward Xue also gladly accepted it.
"Okay, those of you who volunteered to stay will go there to wake the old lady's spirit first, and the rest of you will go back and prepare first, and set off early tomorrow morning!" After speaking, Steward Xue also followed into Xu Fu's study.
"Sir, you don't have to be too anxious, it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it! Did you already ask for someone from Your Majesty? "Ren Tanyu may not have learned much about other skills over the years, but he still does a good job of observing words and feelings.
"Alas, this is also a blessing in misfortune, let's wait patiently for a while!" Xu Fu sighed and said, "Xue Tian, why did you come in, have all those people outside settled down?" ”
"Back to the master, some of them are willing to stay at home, and a large part of them want to follow the master to the sea!"
"It's rare that they are all so loyal, so they all follow them, you also prepare first, it is estimated that it will not be long before the imperial court will come, they will send five hundred boys and five hundred virgins, if it is sent by Zhao Gao, remember not to offend him!"
"Yes! The little one knows it! Steward Xue agreed and prepared to receive him.
And here Ren Tanyu is also doing everything he has learned to deal with this fat old man, although it has been confirmed that what he has learned in history textbooks is not true, but it is not far from ten.
I don't know how long it has been, Ren Tanzhi remembered that he was smiling at Xu Fu's face and swept away his unhappy face before. It was just when the sky was about to dawn that they heard the sound of the door, it seemed that the emperor still did not break his promise, and Xu Fu's hanging heart could be regarded as letting go.
"Father-in-law Gao, long time no see, please come inside!" Welcoming out of the door, Xu Fu is frown, this team leader is the enemy Zhao Gao who he doesn't want to see the most, but he still has to do some superficial work out of formality.
"Brother Xu, don't come unharmed, be polite!" Zhao Gao took the lead in walking into the hall, and before he could do it, he looked like a freshman, "By the emperor's order, Xu Fu will take the order!" ”
Having heard that it was the emperor's holy decree, Xu Fu didn't dare to be careless, so he pulled all the people in the family to kneel in front of Zhao Gao and sang loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: I have swept all directions since I ascended the throne, clarified the universe, since then the world is peaceful, and the four seas are singing! I want to live with the sky and the earth, and I am for the Son of Heaven, so now the special envoy Xu Fudong crosses into the sea to seek immortal medicine! I hope that God will have mercy, give me and my subjects divine medicine, and hope that Xu Fu can receive the mandate of heaven and ask for the people's lives! Live up to this trip, Chincis! ”
Zhao Gao's slender and lofty voice seemed to feel a strange force, and the voice continued to float out of Xu's mansion and into the air outside the door, accompanied by the wisps of aura that spread to a corner of Kunlun Mountain, an old man with white hair was stimulated by this trace of aura, opened his eyes suddenly, nodded thoughtfully, and then fell into a quiet cultivation......
"The grass people take the order!" Xu Fu led his family to receive the holy decree with both hands, and carefully collected the holy decree.
"Bold, thou knowest not sin?" Suddenly, Zhao Gao's voice suddenly rose a lot higher, and Xu Fu's hands trembled in fright, and he almost didn't drop the holy decree in his hand to the ground.
"What sin am I?" Xu Fu sorted out his panic and asked.
"The first saint has made you a special envoy, how can you still call yourself a grass people?" Zhao Gao asked angrily.
It's difficult, it's clearly difficult! Ren Tanyu secretly despised in his heart. (To be continued......)
