Chapter 195 Eunuch Goes to a Brothel
The next morning, as soon as Gu Xi and others went out, they saw a eunuch wandering at the door.
Liu Erdan whispered:
"Master, this is the eunuch Ma."
Eunuch Ma also saw Gu Xi and hurried forward to salute, smiling apologetically:
"National Master, General Chu, I have been ordered by His Majesty to accompany the National Master and General Chu to suppress the Japanese invaders. When will the National Master set off?"
Although Eunuch Ma was the military supervisor, he did not dare to act rashly in front of the imperial teacher.
Gu Xi smiled, looking very talkative, and said:
"Oh, good morning, Eunuch Ma. We'll set off now, but we may have to go a step ahead. If you can't keep up, just walk slowly. Don't worry. Our master is waiting for you in the pirates' lair."
Eunuch Ma looked very proud, pointed at the horse tied outside, and said confidently:
"Master, you are joking. The horse I ride is a thousand-mile horse bestowed by His Majesty. It has great strength. I am also an expert in riding. I can definitely keep up with Master and will not fall behind."
Chu Zhao couldn't stand the way Eunuch Ma was showing off, so he teased:
"A thousand-mile horse is indeed rare. But compared with the imperial master's carriage, a thousand-mile horse is like a eunuch going to a brothel."
Eunuch Ma looked puzzled:
"What?"
"It's useless!"
Gu Xi felt that Chu Zhao’s metaphor was very vivid and couldn’t help but chuckle.
This guy must have read too many jokes on the Internet and become a bad person.
Wu Dajiang couldn't help but burst out laughing, only Liu Erdan was naive and looked confused.
Eunuch Ma's face turned green and he glared at Chu Zhao hatefully.
Gu Xi ignored him and asked Chu Zhao, Liu Erdan and Wu Dajiang to get on the SUV.
Although Eunuch Ma had never seen an off-road vehicle, he guessed that it was a means of transportation by looking at the wheels. He also thought to himself, how could a carriage be faster than a horse?
Huh? That's not right, why is there only a car but no horse?
Gu Xi started the car, and the buzzing sound startled Eunuch Ma.
Gu Xi waved at him:
"Eunuch Ma, bye! See you at the pirates' lair!"
Then he stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of the city.
Eunuch Ma was horrified and immediately jumped on his horse to chase after him.
But no matter how fast he rode, the distance between them kept getting farther and farther, and he was breathing in a lot of car exhaust fumes.
Gu Xi drove the car to a deserted place outside the city, put the off-road vehicle, put Liu Erdan and Wu Dajiang into the space, then took out the fighter jet, took Chu Zhao with him, and flew towards Taizhou on the coast.
When Eunuch Ma chased the man out of the city, there was no trace of him anymore. He whipped his horse in a rage and galloped towards Taizhou.
His Majesty has said that he must follow the Imperial Master throughout the entire journey. Now he disappears just as they set out. How can he explain this?
Eunuch Ma thought as he ran, and finally came up with an idea. He said that the imperial teacher's mount was a divine beast from heaven, which disappeared in the blink of an eye. After all, his horse was a beast from the mortal world, so it was understandable that it could not catch up with the divine beast.
An hour later, at Taizhou beach.
It was a desolate place with no one around.
Gu Xi and Chu Zhao searched for a long time before they found a small village.
An old woman was drying fish in the yard. She saw two men coming and turned pale with fear. She immediately shouted:
"The Japanese pirates are coming! The Japanese pirates are coming!"
Then he ran into the room.
Chu Zhao quickly shouted:
"Don't be afraid, Auntie. We are not pirates."
More than twenty men rushed out of the village, running over with kitchen knives and sticks.
Hearing Chu Zhao's shout, everyone stopped, but still held their weapons tightly and stared at the two men vigilantly.
Chu Zhao stepped forward and said:
"Are you fishermen from here? We are from the capital, not pirates."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he spoke Chinese, was tall and handsome, and did not look like a Japanese pirate.
The middle-aged man in the lead stepped forward and said:
"Yes, we are fishermen here, but because the Japanese pirates have occupied the sea, we haven't gone out to sea to fish for several months. If you are a merchant who comes to buy fish, then your trip is in vain. We only have some dried fish left."
Merchants from Beijing had come to buy fish before, and judging from the middle-aged man’s accent, he really sounded like someone from Beijing.
Chu Zhao walked closer and said:
"We are not here to buy fish. We are sent by the imperial court to suppress the Japanese. We did not see the navy station at the seaside just now. Do you know where they are?"
The middle-aged man looked at the two of them, his eyes full of disappointment. He thought, what's the point of the court sending two young boys to suppress the Japanese except to send them to their deaths?
But since he was sent by the imperial court, he must have held an official position. He did not dare to say anything more, and only said:
"In the past few months, the garrison has fought several battles with the Japanese pirates, but the pirates were too fierce and the garrison suffered heavy losses. Now they have withdrawn back to the city." said the middle-aged man.
Chu Zhao and Gu Xi looked at each other.
Gu Xi frowned and asked:
"If the garrison troops withdraw to the city, won't the Japanese pirates become more rampant? What will happen to the people living nearby?"
The middle-aged man said:
"Maybe they have no other choice. In the past six months, the number of Japanese pirates has increased, and they are very fierce. However, the governor has ordered the people in the coastal villages and towns to move back to the city, or to the west of the city, away from the sea."
"Then why are you still here?"
The middle-aged man sighed, wiped his tears, and said:
"More than 20 of us are staying here because the Japanese pirates have kidnapped our relatives. If they still have a chance to escape, they won't be able to find their home if we all leave."
The other men also lowered their heads, their eyes red.
Seeing that these two were not pirates, the old lady came out and said apologetically:
"My apologies, gentlemen. I am old and my eyesight is blurry. Apart from the Japanese pirates, no strangers have come to the village for a long time. This is my son, my granddaughter and my daughter-in-law who were abducted by the Japanese pirates a month ago. Their lives and deaths are unknown now."
The old woman also wiped away her tears.
Gu Xi didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say:
"Don't worry, I will definitely wipe out the Japanese pirates, and your loved ones will definitely come back."
The villagers obviously didn't believe it, but they were just trying to comfort him, so they could only say:
"Thank you, sir!"
Gu Xi asked again:
"Do you know where the Japanese pirates are hiding?"
The middle-aged man said:
"We used to fish and went to the deep sea, where there are many small islands, but now they have been occupied by Japanese pirates."
"How many people here have been abducted by the Japanese pirates?" Gu Xi asked again.
The middle-aged man said:
"That's too many. There were originally more than 500 people in our village. After the Japanese pirates came, they took away all the young women here, more than 100 of them. They also killed more than 100 of us. Some of the rest were moved to the city by the government. Now there are only about 20 of us left."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, everyone's faces became even more sad.
