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

Very few people knew that Gongzi Gao was going to the southern border, and Gongzi Gao had always gone there secretly without making it public.

Gao Yao was able to know the news in advance because he had been secretly paying attention to the other party. However, most people would not care too much about it. Among those who knew about this matter, Feng Quji was one of them. In essence, Feng Quji had reminded Master Gao about this matter.

"Sir, I have seen and heard a lot. To be honest, this trip has taught me a lot. Gao Yao is probably a capable minister who can govern the country. The population of the Southern Territory exceeds two million. At this time, most people in my Great Qin have a completely wrong view of the Southern Territory."

"Oh?"

After hearing what Gongzi Gao said, Feng Quji was also stunned. He did not expect Gongzi Gao to give such a high evaluation.

"The prosperity of Nanhai County alone is not much different from that of Xianyang. The people live and work in peace and contentment. We often call the people of Nanyue barbarians, but Gao Yao was able to make these barbarians willingly start farming, accept management, live in houses, and even pay taxes on time in just a few years. Even Li Si could never do this."

Hearing Master Gao's words, Feng Quji was also stunned. Although there were various rumors about the southern border before, of course some of them were heard from others, and some were brought up by Gao Yao himself.

However, these things were not enough to make Feng Quji completely believe them. But this time was different. This time, Gongzi Gao went to see it in person, so it could not be fake.

"Also, when I was in the southern border, Gao Yao and my father set a time of one year to pacify the southern border, but in fact, it was completely pacified in just over half a year. In fact, it was less than half a year, and it was done in just three months."

"What? Three months?"

Feng Quji took a deep breath after hearing this number. With just the deployment of troops, the gathering of supplies, and the advancement of the army, even if there was no resistance, it would take three months to completely conquer the Zhentuo area. However, Gaoyao was completely pacified in just three months. How could Feng Quji not be shocked?

"Sir, it is true. I have personally seen it. Gao Yao's governance ability is truly amazing."

"So, you have decided to go to the southern border?"

Listening to Gongzi Gao's words, Feng Quji had already roughly guessed that Gongzi Gao's praise also showed Gongzi Gao's thoughts.

"If Daqin doesn't change, I will be at peace. If Daqin does change, I will be of no use to Xianyang. On the contrary, there may be some special changes in the southern border."

Listening to Gongzi Gao's words, Feng Quji's eyes lit up. On the one hand, Gongzi Gao's words had already explained Gongzi Gao's thoughts, that he really intended to go to the Southern Territory. On the other hand, Feng Quji also heard Gongzi Gao's hidden meaning. Gao Yao did have a considerable influence in the Southern Territory, but this did not mean that Gongzi Gao had no chance to enjoy or even take charge of it all.

"So, I would like to ask you to go with me to the southern border and give me some advice."

At this time, Gongzi Gao also directly stated his most important purpose, which was to ask Feng Quji to go to the southern border to help him.

"Sir, I am old and I am afraid I am not worthy of your trust."

Listening to Gongzi Gao's words, Feng Quji was slightly moved, but in the end he still declined Gongzi Gao's proposal.

Gongzi Gao's words meant a lot. He hoped that Feng Quji could help him go to the southern border. If the world remained unchanged, Feng Quji would just retire there. If the world changed, Feng Quji would be Gongzi Gao's right-hand man and even help him gain control of the southern border.

However, Feng Quji did not want to accept it. The reason was very simple. As a teacher who had taught Gongzi Gao, he had a good understanding of Gongzi Gao. Although Gongzi Gao now had some ambitions, in a word, Gongzi Gao did not have the strength and character to match them.

To put it bluntly, Gongzi Gao is now just like a child playing house. When he sees good things that others have, he wants to have them and occupy them. There is no real plan involved.

"Sir, I always thought you and I were of the same mind, but now you..."

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to do this, but do you really know the consequences of doing so? If you go to the southern border, no matter whether Daqin has changed or not, you can guarantee your safety. But once I go with you, the meaning will be different. It's not that I can't go, but I can't go now."

"this......"

"Sir, think about it carefully. Regardless of whether Gao Yao is loyal or not, it is understandable that you have decided to go to the southern border and bring your family with you. But if you bring me and even some other people with you, what will Gao Yao think? Will he suspect that you are bringing people with you just to seize power? Aren't you putting yourself in danger?"

"It's not that I don't want to go, but this is definitely not the most appropriate time. I love you, young master, don't do anything reckless. Not only me, but also your family. If you really have any ideas, you must do them in secret and must not arouse Gao Yao's suspicion."

"Thank you sir, I've learned a lot."

Listening to Feng Quji's words, Gongzi Gao gradually calmed down, nodded and acknowledged what Feng Quji said, and expressed his gratitude for what Feng Quji said. Finally, after leaving some gifts, he said goodbye.

Watching Gongzi Gao leave, Feng Quji also sighed. Gongzi Gao was indeed a good student, but his ability was indeed average and he had many shortcomings. If Gongzi Gao had insisted on taking him to the Southern Territory, or if he had thought of other ways to take him to the Southern Territory, Feng Quji would have looked up to Gongzi Gao.

But in reality, Gongzi Gao decisively gave up this idea after his persuasion. He had no intention of insisting on it, nor did he intend to find a solution. This doomed Gongzi Gao's achievements to be very limited.

At this time, in the vicinity of Shangshan near Xianyang, nearly two hundred people had already entered Shangshan.

"My lord has ordered that we should use courtesy before force. Once we find the person, we should invite him first. If that doesn't work, we can just take action directly. We must bring all the people back to the southern border. Do you understand?"

"Here"

"Set off"

Following the leader's order, everyone entered the forest. The leader was none other than Gao Jin, who was known as Gao Yao's housekeeper.
