Chapter 2, Zhao Gao

Looking at Xu Fu's respectful demeanor, Zhou Tian suddenly felt a jolt: the other party is Xu Fu, and it is now the Qin Dynasty; both points are correct. He recalled that although Xu Fu did not hold a high official position, he was greatly favored by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Though he had not entered the court, he was still a close minister to the emperor, which naturally conferred considerable power. Now, the fact that the other party is so respectful towards him allows for a clear determination of his own identity. Lü Buwei and Li Si are likely out of the question, and since the other party addresses him as Lord Zhao, there are not many high-ranking officials with such power who also share the surname Zhao in the history of Qin.

Zhou Tian was immersed in the pain of not having a small penis, his facial expressions constantly changing. Coupled with the earlier actions, it made Xu Fu, who was waiting nearby, feel quite awkward, as he was unsure whether to look or not.

"What do you want from me?" After reprimanding this man, Zhou Tian's mood improved significantly. Usually, he only endures being scolded by others, but today he also wanted to scold someone.

After leaving the city, Zhou Tian, sitting in the carriage, caught sight from a distance of a large expanse of tents, where the young boys and girls were residing.

Zhou Tian laboriously raised his palm and fiercely grabbed at his groin (Hmm, why so harsh?)—as a result, hetushu.com, like a bolt from the blue, confirmed that indeed, he did not have a penis.

"In the future, I will still rely on your guidance, esteemed one," Xu Fu said respectfully

"Elixir of Immortality! You are Xu Fu." Although my studies of Zhou Dynasty history are not particularly impressive, I am aware of the monumental event of "searching for the elixir of immortality." Since the person before me is seeking the elixir of immortality, their identity becomes evident.

Xu Fu believed that Zhou Tian was concerned that the chosen young boys and girls were not clever enough, which is why he posed this question. However, in this instance, Xu Fu was mistaken.

Xu Fu, who was beside the exclamation, responded and issued a command to the soldiers guarding the young boys and girls. Before long, all the young boys and girls in the tent were driven out.

Seeing Xu Fu's expression, Zhou Tian quickly recovered from his pain. If there is no little chicken, then so be it. It seems that he himself has not been without it for long. When he came over, it seemed he heard some kind of chaotic mission. It is estimated that after completing that mission, he would no longer have to be a eunuch.

"What is Lord Zhao saying? How can I not understand?" The man carefully said as he steadied Zhou Tian.

Had I somehow crossed over into the body of Zhao Gao, one of the top ten treacherous ministers, upon realizing this, cold sweat instantly poured down Zhou Tian's back—after all, Zhao Gao was a eunuch, lacking a male organ!

"Hmph, how could you possibly understand what I, the great one, have to say?" Zhou Tian quickly got into character; as a high official, one must have the demeanor of a high official. Come, come, let me scold you a couple of times first, so I can feel a bit better.

Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao, what has happened to you? Quickly summon the imperial physician

Hmph, I am currently feeling quite uncomfortable, you little devils, you should also share in this discomfort with me

"At least you have some filial piety," Zhou Tian said, taking a step back and responding perfunctorily. He did not want to be too close to this bearded man, as the beard was already scratching him.

Everything is ready, isn't it? Zhou Tian raised an eyebrow; he did not believe in the existence of elixirs for immortality. In any case, searching for it would be futile.

The individuals selected by Xu Fu were all arranged outside the city. Although three thousand young boys and girls may not seem like a large number, it is certainly not insignificant, and there are not enough houses within Xianyang City to accommodate them

Ha ha, the heavens have been quite generous to me; I just crossed over and became a high official. Hehe, once I confirm my identity, regardless of anything else, I will first go and have some fun with a few young ladies.

"No way." Zhou Tian carefully scrutinized the man before him, then glanced around at the surrounding scenery. He tugged at his own clothes and, after analyzing the hints he had heard earlier, made a bold guess: either he had eaten fake instant noodles that had damaged his brain, or he had crossed over, and it was a soul transfer. Moreover, judging by the fearful expression of the person in front of him, he had likely crossed over into the body of a high-ranking official.

"As long as the adult gives the command, the king's dream of immortality can be realized." Xu Fu whispered again in Zhou Tian's ear: "If I find the elixir of immortality, I will naturally leave a portion for Lord Zhao."

"According to what you said, are the people you chose truly clever individuals?" Zhou Tian scoffed and said, "Lord Xu, take me to see them. This matter of seeking the elixir of immortality cannot be taken lightly; if anything goes wrong, neither of us can afford the consequences"

Oh no, one should not even think about the plan to harm the eldest daughter. Even going to the restroom has become a troublesome matter, whether to use the men's room or the women's room, this is a dilemma

"Lord Zhao? Are you referring to me?" Zhou Tian glanced at the man's oddly styled clothing and said, "Are you filming a historical drama?"

"What would you like? Our store has no counterfeit goods, ah no, absolutely no counterfeit goods." Zhou Tian struggled out of the man's grasp and displayed an extremely professional smile as he spoke

Lord Zhao's words have become increasingly profound and inscrutable, and I, a mere commoner, cannot understand a single word. The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, clearly perplexed by Zhou Tian's inexplicable questions, leaving him utterly bewildered

Um... After the feeling of dizziness gradually faded, Zhou Tian slowly opened his eyes. However, upon opening them, he was startled to see a bearded man gazing at him with deep affection. From the looks of it, if he hadn't woken up in time, his first kiss would likely have been lost.

Hearing such a question from Lord Zhou, Xu Fu was momentarily taken aback, and then replied: "Those young boys and girls were carefully selected from among the southwestern barbarians; each one is exceptionally clever. Rest assured, Lord Zhao, in the quest for the elixir of immortality for the king, I will certainly do my utmost."

Upon hearing Zhou Tian's words, the man was taken aback, thinking to himself, wasn't it you who asked me to come? However, he did not dare to provoke Zhou Tian further and respectfully said in a low voice: "I am here to report to Lord Zhao about the elixir of immortality. Now that all matters have been prepared, as soon as Lord Zhao gives the order, I can take those little ones out to sea."

At this moment, although Zhou Tian maintained a calm expression on his face, he was feeling quite distressed internally (besides the distress, it seemed there was no other place that could hurt). It didn't matter if he was in pain; Zhou Tian planned to make others feel the same way. Thus, he asked, "So, the three thousand young men and women are ready, right? How is their aptitude?"

"Yes, yes, the words of the great are like celestial music, which the petty cannot comprehend at all." This man looked at Zhou Tian, whose expression kept changing, and silently lamented in his heart. Just a moment ago, he had a smiling face, but now he had turned into this grim visage.

"Let them all come out, so I can see," Zhou Tian said from within the carriage

According to historical records, Xu Fu went to seek the elixir of immortality in the eastern sea region known as Dongying, which is present-day Japan. It was precisely because of the three thousand young boys and girls that Xu Fu brought with him on his eastward journey that Japan emerged from its primitive era. Now that Zhou Tian has traversed back to the Qin Dynasty and coincidentally encountered Xu Fu, although the broader environment cannot be changed, some disruption should certainly be considered.

"Not bad, I am indeed Xu Fu." Xu Fu nodded blankly, wondering if this Lord Zhao had lost his mind, as he continued to ask a series of strange questions.
