Chapter 123: The Vertical and Horizontal Family

Xu Yeshu was fine before he came to this village, why did he suddenly want to die? Zhang Tude suspected that either he had seen some painful memories in the illusion, or that what he had said earlier had hurt him.

Just when Zhang Tude wanted to persuade Xu Yeshu, Xu Yeshu spoke first:

"It's not because of you, Brother Zhang, I had the idea of begging for death before, but I didn't have the courage to die, and when I encountered this today, I wanted to exchange my own life for that child's life, and it was worth it, but I still didn't die."

As he spoke, Xu Yeshu almost fell to the ground, it seemed that the influence of the painful illusion on him had not completely dissipated, Zhang Tude had no choice but to help him to sit down on the side of the road, and after resting for a while, he continued:

"Brother Zhang, are you interested in hearing about my past? Think of it as the story of a dying man. ”

Zhang Tude nodded, he had to listen to Xu Yeshu's aftermath before he could find a way to persuade Xu Yeshu to give up the idea of dying.

"I was originally a disciple of the Zongheng family, and after I learned something, I first became an official in Houshu........"

Vertical and horizontal family? Is it a sect that has supernatural powers like the soldiers? Zhang Tude also heard this word for the first time, but now was not the time to ask questions, he continued to listen to Xu Yeshu, and Xu Yeshu's past was gradually revealed to him.

Xu Yeshu first became a petty official in Houshu at the beginning, and wanted to display his talents to benefit the local people, but the officialdom of Houshu was corrupt, and he did not want to be in the same league with his boss and colleagues, so he resigned.

Soon after Xu Yeshu resigned, by chance, he learned that the country on the other side of Huadi Mountain was recruiting, and he decided to go there to try it.

Shuqi is one of the many small countries on the side of the painting mountain, it is said that their monarch has a wordless strange book, different people can get different inspiration from it, the founding monarch is from the book to get the inspiration to establish the country, so the country name is Shuqi.

The reason why Xu Yeshu chose this country is because he heard that the king of this country attaches great importance to talents, and he will personally meet the wise men who come to visit, without a little royal shelf, and for those who are really talented, he will promise high-ranking officials.

When he first came to Shu Qiguo, Xu Yeshu did not rush into the palace to meet the monarch, but first inquired about the situation of Shu Qiguo and the surrounding countries, and only after he understood it almost before he unveiled the list of talents.

After meeting the monarch, Xu Yeshu first told the monarch what he had learned about the situation of Shu Qiguo and the surrounding countries, and there was a country called the Deep Secret Country around Shu Qiguo.

The national strength of this deep secret country is much stronger than that of Shu Qiguo, so it has been bullying Shu Qiguo all year round and encroaching on the territory of Shu Qiguo, and Xu Yeshu now has a strategy against the deep secret country.

After satisfying the appetite of the monarch of the Qi Kingdom, Xu Yeshu finally said his plan, which was to unite with other countries that were oppressed by the Deep Secret Country to form an alliance to fight against the Deep Secret Country together.

The countries that are oppressed by the Deep Secret Country are not the only ones that are oppressed by Shu Qiguo, although the national strength of each of them is not as good as the Deep Secret Country, but if they are all united, the Deep Secret Country is not their opponent.

However, although Xu Yeshu's strategy is easy to say, it is difficult to do, because although Shu Qiguo and other countries are also oppressed by the Deep Secret State, there are also disputes and suspicions between these countries, not to mention that the country is not an individual, and the matter of forming an alliance is not easy to decide.

Xu Yeshu then spent nearly a month of work to persuade Shu Qiguo to let him try, and after getting the appointment of the monarch, he first persuaded Shu Qi's ministers who opposed the alliance in the country, and then traveled around other countries to persuade them to form an alliance one by one, and finally he really did it, Shu Qiguo and the surrounding countries formed an alliance against the Deep Secret State.

After the alliance was formed, Xu Yeshu became the prime minister of Shu Qiguo, and later even led a large army to recover the lands that were occupied by the Deep Secret State, forcing the Deep Secret State and Shu Qiguo to sign a peace treaty.

Since then, Xu Yeshu has become more and more valued by the monarch, and even the only daughter of the monarch is obsessed with him, so he married the princess of Shuqiguo under the mediation of the monarch.

Listening to Xu Yeshu say this, Zhang Tude also understood what the Zongheng family was, unlike the soldiers, they had no magical powers, and some of them were even inferior to ordinary people in terms of personal strength, but they could serve the king with their resourcefulness and eloquence and influence several countries.

"This Brother Xu is a talented person who has completed such a feat, I don't know why he has become what he is today?"

Zhang Tude secretly said in his heart, although he knew what the Zongheng family was, he was even more puzzled in his heart, what did this outstanding Zongheng family disciple Xu Yeshu become like this?

As if he understood the doubts in Zhang Tude's heart, Xu Yeshu sighed and continued:

"That golden statue of mine was given by the princess, and it was like a lifetime in my previous life, and I don't even dare to recognize my former self now.

After marrying the princess, I returned to my hometown of Qiuyun City with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to show off, and I left not long after I stayed in Qiuyun City, because I had to rush to the capital of Houshu and Qingqiu to discuss an alliance with them.

Houshu is still the same, the monarch is addicted to pleasure, the government is controlled by a group of demons, and I, the prince of a small country, was kicked out of the palace without having the opportunity to meet the monarch.

Later, when I came to Qingqiu, it took me more than half a year to convince the Great Khan to make Shu Qiguo and Qingqiu an alliance, and just when I was about to leave Qingqiu and return to Shu Qiguo....."

Speaking of this, Xu Yeshu clenched his fists, his face showed a look of pain, and after a long while, he spoke:

"Not long after I set off with my retinue, a mist suddenly appeared on Qingqiu, and I took people to get out of the mist with great difficulty, but a few days later, I woke up and found that I was surrounded by the corpses of my retinue.

I later learned that this fog was called the fog of the eyes, and it was a natural disaster from the beam, and I thought I had walked out of the fog, but in fact I was still in the fog, and what I saw and did in the fog was different from what I thought.

I inadvertently killed my retinue, and the food I ate for those days was actually their corpses. ”

Zhang Tude once read about this natural disaster called the fog of blindness, which causes people in the fog to see one thing as another.

In the book, it is said that a man was eating oranges at home, but after the fog cleared, he found that he was at his father-in-law's house, gnawing on the heads of his father-in-law's family, but he didn't expect Xu Yeshu to personally experience this natural disaster.

"I'm sorry for those followers, but I'm going to live, and I'll bury the rest of their bodies and keep going, but the world seems to have changed.

Later Shu began to fight everywhere, the official army and the righteous army, the righteous army and the righteous army, the official army and the bandits....

But this is not the most terrifying, there are all kinds of other evils, such as taking advantage of natural disasters and wars, they have appeared in the world, and the world has suddenly become the eighteenth layer of hell in the underworld. ”
