Great Qin State Teacher

When Zhao Cheng saw Xu Fu sitting over, he immediately broke away from his sluggishness, "Sir." He called out dully.

"Are you okay?" Xu Fushan flickered, but he was really not good at comforting people, so after opening his mouth, he dryly shut up again.He is not familiar with Zhao Cheng himself, so he can only say this sentence at this time.

Fortunately, Zhao Cheng didn't dislike the flimsiness of this sentence, not only did he not dislike it, he also excitedly said: "Nothing, nothing." His expression was very touched, and even his cheeks were slightly flushed because of excitement. up.

Some soldiers came over with some tiger meat.

Because it was roasted in a hurry and without any spices, the tiger meat was only half-cooked, and it looked hard to appetize.But this is just not very good in Xu Fu's eyes.

Zhao Cheng took the meat, thanked the soldier quickly, and then distributed it to Xu Fu, "Sir, sir, eat some, servant girl, look at the past two days, sir hasn't eaten much."

"No, you can eat." Xu Fu really has no appetite, and there are no vegetables available outside, and the water source is not sufficient. If he eats this meat, he may be constipated.Although people call him an "immortal", in essence, he is still a serious mortal body.

Zhao Cheng didn't understand what Xu Fu meant, he just thought that Xu Fu gave it to him on purpose.

Xu Fu accidentally met Zhao Cheng's eyes, but saw Zhao Cheng's eyes were slightly red, his eyes were excited, and his face was full of emotion.

Xu Fu was a little confused.

Did he say anything?Did he poke Zhao Cheng's heart with what he said?Xu Fu suddenly felt that his thinking and that of the other party were not on the same level.

But Xu Fu would not express all these doubts, he said lightly, "Eat slowly, I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to rest first."

Zhao Chenghong nodded sharply, "Sir, go, I will guard him."

Xu Fu glanced at Meng Tian who was eating meat not far away, and said to himself, in fact, it is enough to have this one, but he should not refuse Zhao Cheng's heart.After returning to Xianyang, let Ying Zheng give him a promotion.Xu Fu felt that this was the simplest, rude and direct way to repay.

He lay down and fell asleep thinking about it.

The night passed quickly.

Because of tossing and tossing for a long time last night, everyone failed to wake up early, but Xu Fu got up first.Xu Fu sat up and saw that the light of the fire was getting weaker, so he grabbed the branches and wood and threw them in. After throwing some, the fire... was extinguished more completely...

Xu Fu: ...

"Mister played too much." Zhao Cheng didn't know when he woke up. His voice sounded behind Xu Fu, and then he went to Xu Fu's side and squatted down. He fiddled with the fire a few times and blew a few more times. , the fire was rekindled.

Although the fire could not provide lighting during the day, the people next to me were still sleeping, and it was always warmer by relying on the fire source. It was autumn at this time.

After Zhao Cheng woke up, he immediately waited on Xu Fu to wash up.

It was said to be serving, but in fact it was helping to fetch water for Xu Fu, let him wash his face and mouth, and drink some warm water to warm his stomach.

It's so sweet!We are almost catching up with Sangzhong!

Such a thought came to Xu Fu's mind.

Because of Zhao Cheng's extra hard work, Xu Fu's attitude towards him became better and better. After receiving Xu Fu's gentle attitude, Zhao Cheng worked harder.

The two struggled for a while, and the others woke up one after another.

Everyone packed up their things quickly, and then they set off to leave Mianzhu.

The people turned their heads and took a last look at the city, then suppressed the sobs that were about to come out of their throats, turned around and walked forward without looking back.

These people may have lived in this city since their birth, and suddenly they had to leave in order to survive, and no one would feel good.

But after turning around, they pinned all their hopes on Xu Fu, and they believed that Xu Fu would lead them to seek a better future.

Xu Fu, who didn't want to be placed with high expectations at all, suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy.

He can only comfort himself, originally he came to Mianzhu to bring hope to everyone, didn't he?This is the greatest use he can bring to the reputation he has accumulated for so long.Everyone is willing to trust him. As long as it is what he says, no one will doubt that when disaster strikes, his ability is exactly what is most needed.

Perhaps it was because of Xu Fu's company, it was such a miracle that no one complained of suffering or tiredness, and they were all full of hope for the future.

After leaving Mianzhu, there were several aftershocks, but the magnitude of the earthquake was not large. At the beginning, the people were still panicked. Afterwards, they were able to get through it calmly under Xu Fu's command.

As they got farther and farther away from Mianzhu, they looked at Xu Fushi with more reverence.

This kind of reverence is definitely not caused by the crazy rumors about how powerful Xu Fu is. This kind of reverence is even more precious. It is born after seeing Xu Fu's strength more and more during the day and night with Xu Fu.

A few days later, they arrived at the next city.

They traveled all the way. Originally, the state of the people should be extremely bad, but after the past few days, they are actually in a very good state of mind. Not only that, but they also got rid of the skinny appearance before. Not reminiscent of refugees.

……

The cities around Mianzhu were also affected.After all, in this era, some architectural standards cannot be compared with later generations, and in later generations, even advanced architectural standards are useless when an earthquake strikes, let alone this time?

This city was no exception. When they arrived, they saw a mess.

The soldiers and the common people spent a lot of effort to search for many people who survived, and these people were included in their team.

Xu Fu is in charge of establishing hope for these people, but Meng Tian is responsible for how to make overall arrangements for these people. Fortunately, Meng Tian is also a person who is used to being a general, and he will not find it difficult to deal with a group of people. , they still only stayed for one night and then immediately moved forward.

Among the cities that I walked through next, there were even entire cities that were reduced to dead cities.

Xu Fu looked at the dead and silent ruins in front of him, only the city wall was still standing there tenaciously, but there were no people in the city, and he could even smell the decay, which made people feel terrified.Seeing such a city, the people who followed behind fell silent.

Some people were even affected and couldn't help crying in a low voice.

In order not to let such a gloomy atmosphere spread, they didn't stay for long. Before leaving, Meng Tian set a big fire in the city.

On the way forward, after the people finished crying, they looked at Xu Fu more firmly.

Perhaps this is the peculiarity of faith, it can really bring you hope and light when you are desperate.After the common people saw the dead city, their gratitude to Xu Fu and the king became even stronger.If they didn't come, he would also lie quietly on the ground.

It has been more than half a month.

It was late autumn in a blink of an eye.

There was no one to save, the cities that were lightly affected by the disaster had already been rescued from the nearest city, and those who were severely affected could not wait for Xu Fu to go.

Xu Fu held the breath in his heart and didn't dare to let go, let alone bring any negative emotions to everyone. They walked to Yongcheng before they knew it.

After arriving in Yongcheng, there were few people behind Xu Fu.They were assigned to unaffected or lightly affected cities along the route.However, the capacity of a city is limited, and there are still some who have not been allocated, so they follow to Yongcheng.

Yongcheng was the old capital of the Qin Kingdom, and the city walls were built extremely strong. When they arrived, the city walls were not damaged at all, but after entering the city, they knew that Yongcheng was not as intact as it looked.

The south of Yongcheng City almost completely collapsed, but other places are much better.

The street has gradually returned to normal, some shops have opened one after another, and some people are selling food on the side of the road.As soon as Xu Fu looked from a distance, he could still see the ruins in the south of the city.When he turned his head, he could also see white banners everywhere in the city.Many people died in Yongcheng?Logically speaking, the damage to Yong City should be relatively minor.

Just when Xu Fu was puzzled, he saw a group of riders approaching on the street. The leader was a young man. The man was quite mature and calm. When his facial features were tense, he looked as if he was older than Meng Tian.

That man was the first to recognize Meng Tian's face, Dang even rode over and said loudly: "General Meng." His voice attracted ordinary people on the street to look in Meng Tian's direction.

Meng Tian nodded, and said calmly, "General Feng."

Xu Fu understood in his heart that this person should be Feng Quji's son Feng Jie.

Meng Tian turned around and introduced Xu Fu's identity to Feng Jie.

Perhaps when he was leaving, Feng Jie also heard that he was originally sent to Mianzhu, but in the end it was Captain Xu who asked him to take his place, and instead let him come to a place where the danger is not great. Yongcheng.Feng Jie's facial features relaxed, he smiled at Xu Fu, then cupped his fists and said, "Captain Xu."

Xu Fu nodded lightly, "General Feng."

Even if Xu Fu's attitude was indifferent, Feng Jie didn't care, he had heard countless rumors about this Captain Xu, first about how powerful he was, then about how many people he saved, and about how arrogant and indifferent he was and difficult to get close to , and said that he and the king were lovers... Feng Jie had heard a lot, and he had already sketched an image of Xu Fu in his mind.

Now it seems that it is not far from the idea in his mind, so Feng Jie will not be surprised.

The county mansion was not collapsed, so Feng Jie took a group of people to the county mansion first, and those people were naturally handed over to those who should be handed over.

Feng Jie said: "It's just right for them to stay in Yongcheng. Many people died in Yongcheng during this earthquake."

"Why?" Xu Fu frowned.

Feng Jie said helplessly: "At the beginning when the king told me that there might be an earthquake, many rich and nobles in Yongcheng refused to believe it, and instead enjoyed themselves more and more comfortably. That's all. Some people wanted to hide outside the city temporarily. Go and be stopped by them."

Xu Fu still remembers now that when Yingzheng held the coronation ceremony in Yongcheng, many families colluded with Lai Ai and wanted to help him rebel.If it wasn't for Ying Zheng's early arrangements, I am afraid that Lao Ai will really succeed.

Are these people using behavior to express their dissatisfaction and resistance to Ying Zheng?

Xu Fu's complexion immediately darkened, "What about these people?"

Feng Jie smiled sarcastically, "It's funny, they killed themselves. Among these people, more than half died. The common people live in small houses, and they ran out desperately during the earthquake, and nothing happened."

This is also considered to be the will of God in the dark.

People like this deserve to be taken away!

They chatted all the way to the county mansion, finally there was a place to hide, Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief, after so long, he suddenly relaxed, Xu Fu's face turned pale.

Feng Jie arranged for people to prepare water and food.

Without further ado, Xu Fu went to take a bath first. If he didn't take a bath again, his whole body would be too dirty.At this time Xu Fu couldn't help sighing again, it was really fortunate that it was autumn, not summer.Otherwise, a group of people might stink each other to death.

After washing up, Xu Fu hastily ate some food and went to catch up on sleep.

By the time he got up refreshed, it was already mid-moon.

He pushed open the door and went out, and saw Zhao Cheng was still leaning against the door, falling asleep just like that, Xu Fu was very surprised, and hurriedly woke him up, "Why did you fall asleep here?"

"The maid saw that the gentleman looked sleepy, and was worried that the gentleman would feel uncomfortable after waking up, so she waited outside the door..." Zhao Cheng said in a low voice.

Xu Fu said with a complicated expression: "Thank you for your hard work, go and rest quickly."

Zhao Cheng couldn't help yawning, he whispered: "Sir, do you need hot water and food now?"

"No, you go." After saying that, Xu Fu waved for the soldiers guarding the yard, and there were still a lot of people at his disposal, why should he order Zhao Cheng at this time.

Zhao Cheng probably couldn't hold on any longer, so he walked away quickly after saluting.

Xu Fu couldn't help but glanced at Zhao Cheng's back.He didn't know if he was being too indifferent.It was clear that Zhao Cheng was as good to him as Sang Zhong, but Xu Fu was more grateful to Sang Zhong in his heart, and he felt a little more complicated towards Zhao Cheng.Maybe it's because he hasn't gotten used to the friendship of people in ancient times who are willing to sacrifice for the Lord.Or maybe it's because he has been with Sang Zhong for several years, and his deep relationship is naturally not comparable to that of Zhao Cheng.

Xu Fu shook his head and put these thoughts behind him.

He ordered people to fetch silk cloth and charcoal pencils, lit a lamp and prepared to write in front of the table.

...Never imagined that one day he, Xu Fu, would also write a letter home.

Well, family letter, when these two words are read secretly in his heart, Xu Fu will feel a warmth in his chest, which is something he never had the chance to feel in his previous life.

If Ying Zheng, Hu Hai and Fu Su hadn't sent him family letters when he was in the military camp, Xu Fu would not have thought of this.

Along the way, Xu Fu was so busy that he didn't have time to write a letter with Ying Zheng, so he relied on the soldiers to pass the news back, but the news was cold, how could he write it down by himself?

Xu Fu hesitated for a while, then decided to write.

...When Ying Zheng received it, the unhappiness and worry in his heart should...should have subsided a lot, right?

Xu Fu grasped the charcoal pen tightly, and carefully wrote the barely beautiful seal characters that he had practiced so hard.

Ah Zheng,

I have arrived in Yongcheng, and I should be able to return to Xianyang in a short time...

After writing here, Xu Fu felt that the content was too dry.

How to write family letter?Xu Fu racked his brains to think.

Like Ying Zheng, briefly describe what happened to him?But Xu Fu's journey was too dangerous, and he didn't want to write it in. If he wanted to narrate it, he had to wait for him to return to Xianyang safely and tell Ying Zheng himself, so that Ying Zheng wouldn't be so worried.

Then what to write?Talk about daily life like Hu Hai and Fu Su?what did you eat?That can't be written either.He didn't eat well and didn't sleep well during the trip, so writing it out only made Yingzheng worry.

Xu Fu was in trouble, but there was a faint word in his heart that was about to come out.

Ok……

I miss you a little.

……

Xu Fu hesitated for a moment, and finally ended the letter from home with short words.

Ah Zheng, I have already arrived in Yongcheng, and I should be able to return to Xianyang in a short time.I miss you a little.

Oh, and Hu Hai and Fu Su.

……

Xu Fu added the last sentence, and then closed the silk cloth.

After putting the silk cloth on his chest, Xu Fu turned around and continued to sleep. After waking up, Xu Fu quickly washed up, and then found the soldier, and asked him to bring the news back to Xianyang, and then presented it to Ying Zheng. .The soldier nodded repeatedly and carefully placed it in his arms.

Xu Fu wanted to go back to Xianyang quickly, but during this journey, everyone was exhausted, and they were all supported by a breath of energy. Now that the energy of energy dissipated, the hardships and fatigue immediately rushed up.Soldiers are people too, and they need rest too.

After discussing with Meng Tian, ​​Xu Fu decided to rest in Yongcheng for two days before going back to Xianyang.

And Feng Jie will stay in Yongcheng until new officials are sent to restore the order in Yongcheng.

After the family book was handed over, Xu Fu became uncommonly anxious.

It was not anxiety, but anxiety of anticipation.He didn't know what would happen to his family letter after Ying Zheng saw it.

Xu Fu didn't know what happened to him, maybe he had seen too many people's life and death, and saw them crying loudly but still had family members to rely on.

Xu Fu vaguely equated Xianyang Palace in his heart.

That was his home, too.

Once he thought this way, the feeling suddenly changed, as if somewhere in his heart was implicated, Xu Fu even wondered if he could walk away so chicly in the future.It's a bit restrained, but he doesn't feel sad.

Xu Fu clutched his chest, sat in front of the table, stared at the tree branches outside the window and became dazed.

Zhao Cheng carefully knocked on the door outside, "Sir."

"Come in." Xu Fu put away his thoughts and turned to look at him, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Cheng smiled embarrassingly, "I'm here to serve you sir."

Xu Fu just wanted to say that I don't need to wait, but seeing Zhao Cheng's dark eyes, he couldn't say anything, so he just nodded and said: "You don't have to be cautious, if you are tired, sit down and rest." Zhao Cheng Cheng looks young, he is tired and has to take care of himself, which is not easy.Let him stand by his side and wait for orders at any time, that would be too unreasonable.

Zhao Cheng smiled, but he didn't say anything that slaves dared not do.

He seemed to have noticed Xu Fu's boredom, so he said: "Sir, do you want this servant to find some books for you?"

Xu Fu was indeed a bit bored, but he was sitting here reading the letter, so what about Zhao Cheng?Just leave people aside like this?

So Xu Fu still refused.

"Zhao Cheng, when did you enter the palace?" Xu Fu simply chatted with him.

Zhao Cheng shook his head, "I don't remember the servant girl either, she was still young at that time."

"And you've been driving a carriage in the palace since then?"

Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "No, in the past, it was not the turn of the horse-drawn carriage. In the past, the servants could only raise horses. Later, when the husband came to the palace, the servants had the opportunity to drive the carriage with him. The opportunity of the servants was given by the husband. "

Xu Fu smiled lightly.

Zhao Cheng was surprised and said: "Your servant has never seen Mr. smile! Mr. laughed, it's really... Really... I have no words to describe it, but I can't think of any words to describe it. I just think it looks good..." Zhao Cheng's face was full. Simple and honest, it's called sincerity.

Xu Fu did not expect that he would smile at him.

Zhao Cheng has shown so much kindness to himself, so he is not stingy, right?

Xu Fu racked his brains to think about the topic, trying to divert the conversation away.Although everyone likes nice words, when Zhao Cheng praises himself, Xu Fu always has a slight sense of disobedience.It's probably because men are always praised for their good looks, but they still don't quite get used to it.

Before he could think of a topic, Zhao Cheng had already spoken again.

"After the master goes back, can the maidservant come to be a servant next to him?" Zhao Cheng asked cautiously.

After the questioning, Zhao Cheng immediately said: "Yes... the servants are too greedy. If it doesn't work, it's good to drive a carriage for the husband. It's just that the husband doesn't serve as a servant now, and he rarely uses slaves. gone."

"Hmm..." Xu Fu was deep in thought, thinking about the feasibility of Zhao Cheng being a servant.

In fact, Xu Fu didn't have any status in the palace, he just used the palace servants in Yingzheng's bedroom, and those palace servants were very obedient to him, so Xu Fu never thought of having his own servants.But Zhao Cheng's request is not too much.

Driving is always better than being a valet.

If I were to be a close servant, I could make him feel more relaxed. It was just to repay this kindness. Besides, didn't I plan to promote Zhao Cheng before?

I mentioned this to Ying Zheng when I went back.

With an idea in mind, Xu Fu raised his head and said to Zhao Cheng, "Okay."

Zhao Cheng was startled, "First, sir? What did you say just now?"

Seeing his unbelievable appearance, Xu Fu felt a little funny and soft-hearted.If he was really young, this would make him feel happy.

"I said yes."

"Sir..." Zhao Cheng bit his lip and swallowed, "Slave... Slave is excited, no, I don't know what to say..."

"Then there's no need to talk about it." Xu Fu said lightly.

Zhao Cheng nodded, "Mm! Mm... Mister... I will serve you well!" Zhao Cheng actually had tears in his eyes. He looked into Xu Fu's eyes, and his gratitude became stronger and stronger.

The author has something to say:

As a reminder, Zhao Cheng is a historical figure.
