Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 85 Lu Pheasant! I have always heard that Qin fell in love with a mature woman, which is a good way to amuse the boring sea!

Zhang Liang said that Qin Mo should be kept alive until he could be useful, which obviously did not mean that Qin Mo should be kept alive to serve the violent Qin.

But it means that after the overthrow of the violent Qin, or after the successful restoration of Korea, there will always be a place for Qin Mo to use...

Zhang Liang and Qin Mo chatted for a while and then left, because Qin Mo was in low spirits and began to feel drowsy again.

Qin Mo slept until the moon rose high. When he woke up again, his hands and feet were shackled.

"Woooooooo..."

The beautiful woman taking care of Qin Mo began to cry again. While crying, she wrapped strips of cloth around the shackles on his hands and feet to prevent the shackles from damaging his skin.

Qin Mo was grateful, but didn't know how to comfort him.

When talking to Zhang Liang before, he also persuaded Zhang Liang to release this innocent beautiful woman to the shore.

As for how this beautiful woman could return home all the way back home alone?

In fact, it was not as dangerous and troublesome as she thought.

As long as you find the coastal villages and towns and report Qin Mo's whereabouts, even if the officials have doubts, they will properly arrange for her and report to each level for confirmation.

In this way, she will naturally be able to return home safely!

However, it was precisely because she already knew Qin Mo's identity that Zhang Liang refused to release her. Finally, he said, "I have heard that Qin loves a mature woman, and it is a good time to relax at sea", which made Qin Mo choke to death.

Damn it, have the rumors spread to Korea?

"Where does Madam live?"

Qin Mo tried to find a topic to distract the beautiful woman. It was not a problem to cry like this all the time.

The beautiful woman sobbed and replied: "Dang County... Shanfu County..."

Qin Mo nodded, and was about to ask her about her family situation again, and use her family to encourage her belief in survival, but the beautiful woman suddenly stopped crying and said in fear: "You should not treat your prince as a wife, for the daughter of the people cannot afford it."

At this time, the term "lady" specifically refers to the wives of princes. Even the wives of noble officials are not qualified to be called madam.

Qin Mo shook his head indifferently and said: "The elder is respected, and I am under your care, so why should I be rigid in my title?"

The beautiful woman touched her pretty, mature face and sobbed: "A commoner's daughter is only nineteen years old, and she is no older than the king."

Qin Mo: "..."

Qin Mo looked at her speechlessly for a while, then smacked his lips and said, "You are too anxious to grow up. I thought you were about thirty years old."

The beautiful woman... or rather the beauty, immediately stopped sobbing when she heard this, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Well, it broke my heart!

Seeing that she was no longer sobbing, Qin Mo felt relieved and said with a smile: "It's just a joke. My sister is mature and beautiful. It's better if you don't cry."

The beauty seemed to be angry, but she didn't dare to express it for fear of offending the noble Qin Mo.

However, Qin Mo took such pains to comfort her, which made her quite grateful, and her worries about the future could not help but be alleviated a bit.

Zhang Liang kidnapped her to take care of Qin Mo. Since Qin Mo was a kind man, she would be spared a lot of suffering in the future.

Even insulting!

"By the way, haven't you asked me your sister's name yet?"

"The surname is Lu, the given name is Pheasant, and the given name is E-姁."

"Lu Pheasant???"

Qin Mo's eyes suddenly widened, perfectly interpreting four words: dumbfounded!

Lu Pheasant was startled by his reaction. He nodded blankly and said, "Jun...what's wrong with Junhou?"

Qin Mo came back to his senses and asked in confusion: "You just said that your surname is from Shanfu County, Dang County?"

Lu Pheasant nodded blankly again: "Yes... However, when I was kidnapped on the ship, I was moving to Peixian County, Surabaya County with my parents and brothers."

"At that time, we were on the road. My parents and brothers were resting by the river. I went to the water to wash up. I met this group of swordsmen and they forcibly took me aboard the boat."

Qin Mo suddenly nodded, his doubts suddenly cleared.

Limited by his limited historical knowledge in his previous life, he always thought that Lu Pheasant was from Peixian County, Surabaya County.

But in fact, the Lu family's ancestral home was Shanfu County, Dang County, and later moved to Pei County, Sishui County.

Including the acquaintance between Liu Bang and the Lu family, it was also at the housewarming party after the Lu family settled in Peixian County. Liu Bang, the pavilion chief and a local leader, went to eat and drink with empty words...

"So, we are really destined to be together~!"

Qin Mo had a strange expression. After looking at her again for a while, he smiled meaningfully.

Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang, you are really awesome, you actually got the mother of the Han Dynasty to be my maid.

She has been feeling groggy these days, and Lu Pheasant has been taking care of all her food, drink, and diarrhea all by herself. She may have already noticed the moles on her buttocks.

Zhang Liang is wearing a big cuckold on his future monarch!

Hmm...why do you think of cuckold...

…

In the water of Weishan Lake, Liu Tingchang suddenly had an itchy nose and sneezed loudly: "Ah!"

Seeing him like this, his companion who was holding a butcher's knife beside him asked with concern: "Brother, did you suffer from the cold after soaking in the water for too long?"

Liu Tingzhang rubbed his nose and waved his hands to show that he was fine, but then he cursed again and said: "Damn it, I have searched this three hundred miles of mountains, forests and rivers several times, and I only need to dig three feet of ground."

The Prime Minister of Qin has more misfortunes than good."

The butcher's companion hurriedly covered his mouth: "Brother, please be careful, I heard that a guard in another county was lazy the day before yesterday, and the First Emperor personally issued an edict to punish him. He almost ended up having all the officials in the county beheaded."

"In the end, he was followed by hundreds of officials to advise him, and then he was whipped. His shoulders and back were all broken!"

Chief Liu Dating was so frightened that he shrank his neck, but then he pushed away his companion's hand and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Well done! Prime Minister Qin is a virtuous man. We, the last official in Guizhou, relied on Prime Minister Qin's benevolent government in the past. How dare we not work hard?"

Looking for?”

"Brothers, look carefully. If you can find the Prime Minister of Qin, I will be the Marquis of Guannei, and my brothers will be rich and honorable!"

"Here."

Watchmen in the nearby pond responded in unison with smiles.

…

In the sea, on a fishing boat.

Qin Mo looked at Lu Pheasant beside him, his thoughts diverging. The image of cuckolding Chief Liu Dating came to his mind, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little offended.

Lu Pheasant seemed to be aware of it, and subconsciously curled up his plump body, trying to avoid his offensive gaze.

Qin Mo forcibly blocked the unbearable scene in his mind and thought to himself: [The eldest princess is harming me. Every day, my mind is always thinking about the ambiguity between men and women. In a dangerous situation, the first thing to do is to save your life. 】

"Sister, there is food...why are you running?"

Qin Mo sat up from the bed and wanted to ask Lu Pheasant for some food, but Lu Pheasant was like a frightened rabbit and quickly took a few steps back on guard.

It seems that he is afraid that he will do something beastly!

Qin Mo was speechless, dumbfounded and said angrily: "Why are you hiding? I'm hungry, can I still eat you?"

Lu Pheasant was startled, stepped forward to help him and said: "In the past, swordsmen always brought food to him, but today it has not been brought."

Qin Mo nodded, stood up straight with her help, opened the door and walked out.

Zhang Liang's retainer who was guarding the door wanted to stop him, but Qin Mo pointed to the quiet sea at night and said: "The boat is so big, and I am wearing heavy shackles. I can't escape except jumping into the sea to feed the fish."

The retainer opened and closed his mouth, but did not stop him. He just followed the two men with his sword in hand, not only to prevent him from actually jumping into the sea to kill himself, but also to protect him.

After all, there are also retainers and guests of Hengyang Lord Han Cheng on this ship. There is no guarantee that they will not be filled with hatred and kill Qin Mo to avenge Han Cheng!

Qin Mo walked to the bow of the boat and happened to meet Zhang Liang fishing, with one injured arm held by his side and the other hand holding the fishing rod.

But Little House's mind was obviously not on fishing. The fishing rod was almost broken by the hooked fish, and he was not seen pulling back the rod. He just stared at the sea in a daze.

“If you don’t close the rod, it’s time to unhook it~!”

Qin Mo's fisherman's soul awakened, he left Lu Pheasant's support, stepped forward to grab the fishing rod from Zhang Liang's hand, and quickly retrieved the rod.

Lu Pheasant picked up a long net bag and lay on the side of the boat to help him pick up the fish.

Qin Mo put down the fishing rod and stepped forward to check the fish in the net bag: "Hey, my dear, are groupers so plentiful?"

It's a plump grouper that's longer than an arm.

Qin Mo turned to look at Zhang Liang beside him and said, "Are there any pot seasonings?"

Zhang Liang was speechless: "Don't you worry about your future and fate? Why do you still have time to cook?"

Qin Mo touched his belly: "We'll talk about the future later. If I don't eat something, I will be too hungry to get out of bed tonight."

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, frowning and looking at the sword-holding retainer aside.

The retainer hurriedly explained: "Today, Lord Hengyang's retainer is responsible for the meals."

Zhang Liang suddenly realized and wrote this down in his mind.

After their group arrives in South Vietnam, they will join the family members of Han Cheng's descendants who arrived first.

If we don't make arrangements in advance, I'm afraid Qin Mo will die when he arrives in South Vietnam!

…

The condiments for the stove and pot are actually at the bow of the ship, and there are also reserves of firewood, water, grain, vegetables, and dried chili peppers under the deck.

Lu Pheasant did not have the consciousness of the future mother of the Han Dynasty, but she was very conscious of being a maid. She took the initiative to take on the responsibility of a cook, lit a fire in the stove, washed and peeled the grouper, and was about to stew it in the pot.

Stewing grouper is not bad either. Even the pre-Qin cooking method can produce a pot of good taste.

But Qin Mo's mouth has almost faded away these days. Seeing that she was trying to cook in the pre-Qin style again, he quickly stopped her and said, "Just debone the fish and fillet it into pieces."

"Do you know how to slice it...slice it like this...slice it thinner, so it tastes better...forget it, I'll do it myself!"

Qin Mo pointed for a long time and saw that Lu Pheasant couldn't figure it out. He was about to destroy a grouper, so he had to endure his physical discomfort, tucked up his clothes, took the hand-relieving knife, and started making it himself.

At the same time, he gave instructions to Lu Pheasant: "Put the fish heads and bones that I removed into the pot, stew them and season them."

Seeing his skillful technique, Lu Fei was a little shocked, but he followed the instructions angrily.

Zhang Liang and his retainers looked at each other in confusion.

Although the pre-Qin era did not respect the idea of ​​a gentleman staying away from the kitchen, a noble man like Qin Mo who was so familiar with the kitchen was truly an anomaly.

"I corresponded with a friend, and he once mentioned in the letter that the prince was honest and self-sufficient, and did not keep slaves and concubines. Even the prince's mansion was given to the court to open a school, leaving only a hut, and he lived a simple life alone.

"

"In the past, I felt that he had exaggeratedly flattered me. But now that I see you like this, I know that what he said is true. Otherwise, how could he have such skillful cooking skills?"

Zhang Liang sighed in a low voice to the retainers beside him.

The retainer was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Qin Mo's busy and steady figure, speechless for a long time.

In fact, those who secretly hate Qin Mo are not just the retainers and guests of Han Cheng, Lord Hengyang.

They, Zhang Liang's retainers and a group of forty or fifty companions, now have less than ten people left, and almost all the rest died at the hands of Qin Mo. How can we not hate them?

However, the family advocated good things and had an almost crazy admiration and admiration for Qin Mo. He was even willing to give up his original intention of restoring Korea and only wanted to support Qin Mo as the leader.

They couldn't understand, but they could only endure their hatred and obey orders to protect Qin Mo.

But at this moment... he suddenly understood Zhang Liang a little. It was just that he had the talent to destroy a country and rule the world with bravery, but it was rare for him to have the virtue of self-discipline and benevolence.

The majestic Lord of Qin, the Prime Minister of Hexi, risked his life for the sake of two unrelated children. Even the lowly women who served him could be treated kindly and like sisters.

Is there any reason not to admire and love such a person?

Zila——

There was a sound of hot oil frying, followed by a spicy and spicy aroma that filled the air and made people greedy.

Zhang Liang and his retainers swallowed their saliva and poked their heads to take a look.

But when the two of them were speechless, Qin Mo had already cooked a pot of boiled fish. The red soup was filled with white and tender fish meat, and on top of the fish were green onions, ginger, peppercorns, and Qin Mo's fish.

Bring and promote chili peppers that are popular in the hot and humid south.

Hot oil was poured on the green onion, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns and dried chili peppers. The sound of hot oil being poured on it was heard as it was frying.

The hot oil couldn't cool down for a while and was still sizzling, and the spicy and delicious flavor became more and more intense!

Qin Mo put down the frying pan, couldn't wait to pick up two pairs of chopsticks, gave a pair of chopsticks to Lu Zhi, who was a little dull, and said: "Don't be stunned, eat while it's hot to enjoy!"

Lu Pheasant held chopsticks in his hand and stared blankly at a pot of boiled fish, feeling really shocked.

She has always had a reputation as a virtuous woman, and she was famous for having numerous suitors, including Pei County, where she and her family moved. The magistrate of Pei County also admired her reputation as a lady and wanted to marry her.

But at this moment... I am not as good at cooking as a man, Xianliang is a hammer, Xianliang!

Qin Mo started eating honestly and politely, showing no intention of giving way to Zhang Liang and the retainer.

But the two of them were thick-skinned, so they took their chopsticks and reached into the pottery basin to fish out the tender fish meat, shaking their heads while eating.

Lu Pheasant was also hungry. Seeing this, he quickly blocked his self-doubt and joined in with his chopsticks to fish for fish.

An arm-long grouper couldn't withstand the food of four hungry ghosts, and within a moment it was completely meatless.

Even the soup was drunk by the greedy retainer, who picked up the pottery basin and finally wiped his mouth and said: "Such a delicious meal should be accompanied by wine."

Zhang Liang said: "It's a pity that I was in a hurry to go to sea and didn't prepare any wine!"

Qin Mo picked up the fishing rod on the deck, gave it to the greedy retainer, and urged: "Aren't you satisfied? This water area may be rich in grouper, so hurry up and catch a few more!"

"You catch it, I'll cook it, and you'll have a great time tonight!"

The retainer didn't bother to use a fishing rod, so he went to the mast to pick up a fishing net that was drying, and threw it directly into the sea.

When I pulled him up, there were four or five plump groupers!

Qin Mo said nothing and continued to let Lu Pheasant take over and start cooking the boiled fish.

The other swordsmen in the cabin, perhaps because they heard the noise, or perhaps because they were lured to sleep by the scent, came out of the cabin one after another and came to the deck.

Seeing that it was Qin Mo, the prisoner, who was cooking sea fish for Zhang Liang, they all joined in to share the food.

Including the retainers of Hengyang Lord Han Cheng, they all praised the food. Finally, they simply said with revenge: "Let him cook all our meals from now on!"

Working to feed dozens of people is hard work.

But as a prisoner, Qin Mo naturally had no room for rebuttal, but he was just amused in his heart: "Eat more decapitated meals! Do you really think there are no poisons in the sea?"

Are you abusing the master? It’s not abuse, right? You’re a master! There are crocodiles there too... I’ll cry to death
