The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 348 The Shocking Secret
Originally, Gan Ning wanted to imitate Dongfang Sheng's words about being a virtuous corporal, but Dongfang Sheng had already put his footprints on Xu Gao's chest.

This kick was very measured, it would not hurt Xu Gao's sternum but it would make Xu Gao unable to stand up for a while.

Ah!
A high-pitched female voice sounded, and Dongfang Sheng saw a young woman in a long silk dress rushing out, screaming all the way and stretching her nails towards his face.

When Dongfang Sheng snorted and wanted to block, Xu Gaoteng, who was lying on the ground, stood up suddenly, stopped the young woman, and then turned to the young woman, "Go back to the house first, and make sure the child doesn't run around."

When the young woman heard Xu Gao's heavy voice, she immediately understood a little bit, and burst into tears and said, "Be careful, you must live well."

"Don't worry, I, Xu Gao, am not a coward who can be pinched and rounded by others. Anyone who wants to die will have to pay a certain price!" Xu Gao said viciously.

Dongfang Sheng glanced at the young woman indifferently, she was unusually plump, and her beauty could be considered excellent, it seemed that Xu Gao's vision was quite good.

After Xu Gao watched his wife go back to the room, his body also relaxed. He smiled contemptuously at Dongfang Sheng, and then closed the door calmly.

"I advise you not to think about running away. I have ordered the entire Nanpi County to be sealed off. Even if you run out of this yard, you will not be able to escape from Nanpi County." Dongfang Sheng understands Xu Gao's mentality best. So a 'timely' reminder.

After Xu Gao heard Dongfang Sheng's words, he sat down on a bearded stool full of holes like a deflated ball.

Gan Ning pulled a wooden stool over and looked at it carefully, and said, "This... is a wooden stool made of sea boat wood?"

"Hmph, so what, the wooden stools made of sea boat wood are neither rotten nor rotten, and the texture is solid. My house has a lot of them." Xu Gao said without any scruples.

Sea ships will be disassembled after they are old and no longer go to sea. Using the wood soaked in seawater to make furniture such as stools will have characteristics that other wood does not have. Of course, there will naturally be some holes and marks on it. , so the appearance is not likable.

Dongfang Sheng patted the solid sea-boat wood stool and said: "You can get me a set of sea-boat wood stools some other day. This material is pretty good for sitting on."

Xu Gao snorted and said, "You two are officials, right? Are you here to arrest me? Or do you want to cooperate with me?"

"None." Dongfang Sheng shook his head and said, "We are here to ask you for help."

"Ask me for help?" Xu Gao seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, "A family of officials and gangsters? Just kick me when you enter the door. Is this the attitude of asking me for help?"

When Gan Ning was about to step forward to teach Xu Gao a lesson, Dongfang Sheng shook his head with a smile, and then said to Xu Gao with a smile: "Do you want to be a pirate for the rest of your life? Letting your offspring live in the shadows is like A bunch of blind mice?"

Xu Gao said disdainfully: "What do you know? What do you know?"

Dongfang Sheng heard the hidden meaning in Xu Gao's tone. It seemed that he still had a story to tell, so he couldn't help but wonder: Is he really the descendant of the craftsman who built Xu Fu's ship back then?
"Is it just because your ancestors built ships for the First Emperor?" Dongfang Sheng asked rhetorically.

Xu Gao was stunned for a moment, but then a smile flashed across his face and he said: "Hey, you know a lot of things, but you are wrong, my ancestors were not shipbuilders."

Not a shipbuilder, his surname is Xu. Could he be a descendant of Xu Fu?A ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in Dongfang Sheng's mind. Xu Fu took three thousand boys and girls to find the elixir for Qin Shihuang. Everyone knows the story, but no one knows where Xu Fu went in the end.

"Are you a descendant of Xu Fu?" Dongfang Sheng asked tentatively.

Xu Gao's expression was shocked, and there was a trace of shock in his eyes.

"It seems that Xu Fu did not go overseas to find the elixir of life." Dongfang Sheng said with a smile.

"No, he went." Xu Gao retorted, "Hey, you two are wearing extraordinary clothes and temperament, you must be noble people, today I will tell you about Xu Fu, you should just listen to the story .”

"Xu Fu was ordered to find the elixir of life. He really went overseas, and when he came back, the first emperor was dead, and the Great Qin II died. At this time, some of Xu Fu's descendants took the opportunity to stay, and others Some people followed Xu Fu and continued to wander in the sea. This is Xu Fu's story."

After Xu Gao finished speaking, he showed a look of reminiscence, as if he had experienced that time.

"Are you the descendant of those Xu Fu?" Dongfang Sheng stared at Xu Gao and asked.

"That's right, the people who stayed behind were not familiar with life on land because they had been floating at sea for too long, so they all chose a livelihood related to the sea, and my ancestors also chose the same: shipbuilding." Xu Gao Said without concealment.

Seeing that Xu Gao had revealed his family background, Dongfang Sheng naturally stopped hiding anything. He immediately explained his identity and purpose of coming, and at the same time showed Xu Gao his official seal.

After Xu Gao confirmed it, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "If my lord can grant me a request, I, Xu Gao, would be willing to be a cow or a horse!"

"What request?" Dongfang Sheng was a little curious about what Xu Gao's request would be, which would make him willing to work for himself.

"I want adults to arrange for my kid to go to school. To be honest, I really don't want to be an illiterate old man for generations." Xu Gao said with some longing.

In this era, the restriction of the gentry's surnames on ordinary people lies in the confinement of knowledge. It is extremely difficult to train a student, and this is a shackle that is difficult to break.

"The school here is not good." Dongfang Sheng's words made Xu Gao feel a little depressed, but the next sentence made Xu Gao almost jump up, "I don't know if your kid likes the school in Yizhou?"

"I like it, why don't I like it?" Xu Gao nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, "He doesn't like me to slap his ass."

"By the way, although I don't have a map of the sea ships that Emperor Shihuang went to sea, my family has accumulated some design drawings of sea ships for generations of shipbuilding. I wonder if your lord is interested?" Xu Gao rubbed his hands and said.

"I'm not interested." Dongfang Sheng said with a straight face on purpose, "Keep it safe for yourself. These are technologies that need to be kept secret. In a few days, I will build a shipyard near the sea, and you will be in charge of the manufacturing of sea-going ships." , if there is anything you can discuss with Xingba."

"Hey, don't worry, my lord, if I don't put together my drawings, I can't see them." Xu Gao also knew that Dongfang Sheng was joking with him, so he responded with a smile.
