The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 341 Gu Feixuan

Gao Anyu was genuinely a little angry.

Ever since Li Miao and Zheng Yi started talking about eunuchs, he's been pondering a question—everyone knows that eunuchs are missing something.

But what exactly is missing?

Is it "taking something out of a bag" or "pulling out a nail and removing a wedge"?
Or perhaps it's "generous donation"?
Or should we just take the plunge and kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?

He was genuinely curious; there are probably few men in the world who wouldn't be curious about this.

The eunuchs of the Great Shuo Dynasty wielded immense power, making this matter a taboo subject. Few dared to mention it, and fewer and fewer people knew the specific details. Apart from Li Miao, probably very few others could or dared to answer.

Zheng Yi is a woman, and Cao Hanyan is too proper. With the two of them around, Gao Anyu was really embarrassed to ask Li Miao this question. He had been holding it in for the past few days.

Gao Anyu knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he was about to ask a question.

Who would have thought that he would be cut off halfway through his question? How could he not be angry?
He kicked open the door and was about to come out and kill someone.

But when they came out, the boat was empty. Apart from the boatman huddled among the clutter, shivering, there was no one else on board.
"Hey sir, were there some bandits who boarded the boat just now and started shouting and cursing at us?"

Gao Anyu asked the boatman.

The boatman nodded, his face pale.

"Then where did he go?"

The boatman pointed tremblingly to the bow of the "Little Green Dragon in the Waves" that had fallen into the water.

whoosh-

Gao Anyu rushed over in one stride, clung to the hull of the boat, looked around, stared intently at the river for a while, and then scratched his head.

"Nobody's here?"

"Uncle, are you sure he fell from here?"

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

The boatman, still shaken, was rendered speechless by Gao Anyu's question.

No, are you kidding me?
So, when the "Little Green Dragon in the Waves" fell off the bow of the boat, you went to the bow to look for it, right?

Why didn't you carve a mark on the hull so you could look for it after the ship docked?

The boatman grumbled inwardly, but he had witnessed Gao Anyu killing the river bandits these past few days. He knew Gao was highly skilled in martial arts and a bit dim-witted, so he was afraid of upsetting him and getting slapped to death.

His eyes darted around, and he mumbled something.

"Well, maybe, maybe it sank to the bottom, or maybe it got scared and swam away with the current... These river bandits are all good swimmers, well, they probably swam away, yes, they swam away..."

"Oh."

Gao Anyu scratched his head.

"Alright, consider him lucky. I'll spare his life for today. But I'll definitely give him a good punch next time I see him."

The boatman was speechless again. The bandit had been hit by a door panel weighing over a hundred pounds, his head was deformed in mid-air, and he fell back into the river. Why did he need you to "spare his life"?
But all they could do was nod in agreement.

"Yes, yes, he's wise enough to know his place. Young master is kind and righteous."

He gave Gao Anyu a thumbs-up, coaxing him.

Gao Anyu nodded and turned to walk towards the cabin. Halfway there, he suddenly heard someone laughing not far away, laughing so hard they were doubled over and out of breath.

"Haha—hiccup, hahaha—"

"Marking the boat to find the sword, spare him, spare his life, ha, ha ha ha ha..."

"No, I really can't, hahaha."

Gao Anyu frowned.

He realized the other person was laughing at him.

Given his temperament, he couldn't stand this insult and immediately turned around and cursed.

"You're laughing at your mother!"

"If you're not happy about it, come and fight me!"

Before he could finish speaking, the man laughed. "Brother, ha, brother, please don't be offended."

"It was my rudeness. Please wait a moment, I will come aboard and apologize to you."

All that could be heard was the rustling of clothes, and a hand climbed onto the hull. With a quick pull, a person shot up ten feet into the air like an arrow and landed lightly in front of Gao Anyu.

He cupped his hands and bowed to Gao Anyu.

"Greetings, sir."

"I apologize for my rudeness earlier."

Gao Anyu didn't return the greeting, but frowned and looked the man up and down.

He was slender and seven feet tall. He was dressed smartly, with a handsome face, narrowed eyes, and a smile playing on his lips. A longbow slung over his shoulder, and a quiver of arrows hung at his waist.

Judging by appearance alone, he is quite handsome.

Gao Anyu suddenly remembered something, his eyes darted around, and he asked.

Do you know Yin Suqin?

"Oh? You know Brother Yin?"

The man laughed.

Gao Anyu shook his head.

"No, my brother mentioned you... you're 'Prince Arrow Bearer,' right?"

The man waved his hand and said, "Oh, it's just a little bit of empty fame, nothing to brag about. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, haha."

Gao Anyu nodded, confirming the identity of the person in front of him.

Along with An Ziyang and Yin Suqin, Gu Feixuan was known as "Qi," one of the "Four Young Masters of Wine, Women, Wealth, and Power," and was also called "Young Master with Arrow in His Hand" in the martial arts world.

Of course, like Yin Suqin and An Ziyang, his nickname also has another pronunciation—people in the martial arts world call him "the idle young master".

This person is the one with the best reputation and the most upright conduct among the four young masters, but he is also the most troublesome.

Because he's a busybody, always ready to help those in need—that's the kind of person who's best suited for it. And when he takes action, he never cares about the other person's status or reputation, exposing the true colors of many prestigious sects. He's an unyielding, indestructible figure.

Seeing that Gao Anyu remained silent, Gu Feixuan was not annoyed, but simply smiled and said...

“Recently, bandits have been rampant on the waterways around here, causing many deaths, so I rushed over to take a look and just happened to see this thief boarding the boat.”

"I was just about to make a move when you unexpectedly dealt with him directly. Your words and actions are very much to my liking. May I ask your esteemed name? May I ask for your guidance?"

One shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Gao Anyu didn't feel comfortable going up to beat him up. He just coldly bowed.

"Gao Anyu".

"Oh, Brother Gao, I've heard so much about you."

Gu Feixuan bowed again and then stepped back.

“In the past, I would have loved to go on a trip with Brother Gao. But now, bandits are rampant on the waterways, and countless people are suffering. We can’t afford to delay.”

"I'm in a hurry to rescue people, so I won't chat with you any longer, Brother Gao. If we meet again in the future, please do me the honor of having a drink with me!"

"We'll see you later!"

Before he finished speaking, he darted off the boat, jumped onto his own small boat, waved to Gao Anyu with a smile, and rowed away.

Gao Anyu remained on the boat for a while, scratching his head.

"Are you crazy?"

"He laughed at me for a while, then came up and rattled off a bunch of things before running off... If you want to be friends with me, why don't you just have a fight?"

"baffling."

Shaking his head, Gao Anyu was too lazy to think about him anymore. He turned around and walked into the cabin, shouting excitedly.

"Uncle Li, now no one will bother us."

"Tell me quickly, what exactly are the rules regarding the lower body of eunuchs!"
