What Young Master Gao didn't expect was that after crossing a low mountain ridge, there was an open plain ahead.
Although it is October in the cold winter, you can still see that this is a land with rich water and grass in front of you.
"Sir, although this Yingzhou Island is mountainous, most of it is in the east. The west side where we are now is mostly full of fertile farmland with rich water and grass like the one in front of us. The land is fertile and can be irrigated easily. If it is managed carefully, , enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops..."
As Ge Yun spoke, he glanced at the young master inadvertently, and saw that this guy was nodding his head quite seriously, without understanding the meaning behind his words, and he was immediately a little discouraged.
This thing is simply a lump of wood.
I don’t know what those people in the alliance were thinking, that they would support such a fool to fight with the emperor’s eldest grandson?
Supporting this one is not as good as supporting the down-and-out 18th Young Master. Although he has great ambitions and little talent, he at least has great ambitions.
Ge Jun complained secretly in his heart, but his face remained calm.
"General Qi, our scouts discovered a village not far ahead..."
While the two were talking, Chen Sheng, who was in charge of exploring the front, had already hurried up to greet them.
Hearing this, Young Master Gao couldn't help but feel shocked.
"This place is isolated in the ocean, and there are actually people living in it?"
Before Young Master Gao finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and grabbed Chen Sheng's arm, saying nervously.
"Have you ever disturbed them?"
Chen Sheng was a little dazed by his question. He didn't know why he was nervous. After thinking about it for a while, he felt a little unsure.
"Probably not? I just, when I invited them, I didn't understand the language - the method was a little bit blunt..."
Only then did Gongzi Gao let out a sigh of relief.
"That's good. This place is isolated overseas, and these people can actually live here. They might be the descendants of immortals. If we offend them, I'm afraid it will miss the important event of His Majesty..."
The three Ge brothers:...
Xu Fu on the side couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this. When he saw Young Master Gao looking towards him, he immediately put on a look of deep approval.
Chen Sheng turned his head with a guilty conscience.
After a while, Gongzi Gao understood what Chen Sheng meant by being a little stiff.
Dozens of elite Great Qin scouts, armed with weapons and shouting, forcibly escorted the people over. These people, old and young, all had broken hair and tattoos, were barefoot, and wore short brown beige cloth, and looked panicked.
Gongzi Gao:......
The people in front of him really didn't make him think of the words descendants of immortals. Instead, they looked like a group of barbarians?
"Sir, look at the clothes of these people, they look like the customs of the people in Yue..."
At this time, Ge Yun still needs to demonstrate his value in front of Gongzi Gao and strive to further gain Gongzi Gao's trust. Therefore, he coughed lightly and stepped forward to explain.
Young Master Gao's expression softened slightly.
It's better if he is not a descendant of an immortal. Otherwise, he would have offended the immortal as soon as he arrived at the sea. How could he ask the immortal for the elixir of immortality on behalf of His Majesty.
He looked around at everyone and was about to ask everyone who could understand the Yue dialect.
Seeing this, Ge Yun on the side couldn't help but cough slightly, with a reserved and reserved smile on his face. An expert must have the demeanor of an expert, and be proactive in everything, otherwise he will fall behind.
However, who would have expected that before he could finish his posture, Lu Matong, who was following Young Master Gao, jumped out, rushed forward and bowed in salute.
"I would like to inform you that your ancestors have lived in Yue for a period of time and can understand the local dialect. You may be able to step forward and ask on your behalf..."
Ge Jun:......
He almost doubled over in frustration.
Naturally, Young Master Gao didn't know about this little thought of competing for the favor of his highly relied-upon retainer. When he saw Lu Matong taking the initiative to invite him, he immediately showed a generous and warm smile.
"There is General Lao Lu..."
Lu Matong walked over and tried to use the dialect of Yue. He was overjoyed when he found that although the pronunciation of the other party was slightly different from that of the people in Yue, he was indeed able to communicate.
The few local people with broken hair and tattoos seemed to have found a backbone when they saw someone who could communicate with them, so they started gesticulating and talking.
They chattered there, which sounded like the chirping of birds to the ears of Gongzi Gao, Chen Sheng and others. They had no idea what was being said. They could only point out what Lu Matong was asking while waiting patiently.
"Master Qi, they said that they are survivors from the Yue Kingdom. Their ancestors fled here from the sea to escape the war more than a hundred years ago..."
After hearing this, Young Master Gao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
I can't tell whether I should be happy because I didn't offend the descendants of the immortal, or whether I should be disappointed because I didn't find the immortal. But he quickly adjusted his mentality.
Since you can't find the immortal, then you should listen to your eldest nephew, give him kindness, appease the people, and accumulate blessings for your own god!
The three Ge brothers couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard that the young master was planning to stay here to organize households and educate the people. I thought that this young master, tall and wise but foolish, had understood his hint and was ready to stabilize his mind here, accumulate strength, and develop his own base camp.
Immediately and enthusiastically took the initiative to ask for help.
Speaking of which, the three of them were really capable. They handled these complicated affairs in an orderly manner, which made Gao, who had never been exposed to specific government affairs, secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
I was secretly glad that my wife had really recruited some good helpers for me.
…
Mrs. Zheng, who was talked about so much by the young master, was in a bad mood.
It was originally discussed with His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson to arrange the marriage between Xiang Yu and his daughter. However, this unreliable nephew turned around and ran away...
There is no news about my daughter's marriage again.
She couldn't find Zhao Ying, and she didn't dare to trouble the First Emperor with such a matter, so she could only sulk at home.
"What's bothering you, madam..."
Mr. Xun, a worldly expert whom he invited home from the market, gently put down his tea cup and smoothed the three white strands of his beard under his chin.
"Now that His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun has left Xianyang, my Wan'er's marriage may be far away again..."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zheng said a little annoyed.
"When he himself got married and took concubines, he was more active than anyone else. When it was his sister's turn to get married, luckily he was Wan'er's brother - he didn't care at all!"
Listening to Mrs. Zheng's somewhat annoyed voice, Mr. Xun couldn't help but smile.
"Madam, why should you worry? Now, the marriage between the young master and Xiang Yu has been decided, and they will be a family sooner or later, so why bother in a hurry? Since His Highness the Emperor's Grandson is not in Xianyang..."
Having said this, Mr. Xun smiled and suddenly made a point.
"I heard that Marquis Jingbian returned to Xianyang yesterday to visit relatives..."
Mrs. Zheng looked at Mr. Xun with some confusion.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Mr. Xun, who was stroking his beard and looking like an outsider, was so stupid at his words that his hands trembled and he almost pulled off his beard.
It took a lot of effort to manage my expression.
"Marquis Jingbian is outstanding in military skills and has great strategies. He is a rare talent. If Mr. Gao can get help from this person, he will be even more powerful, and great things can be expected..."
When Mr. Xun said this, Mrs. Zheng slowly came to appreciate it.
"Sir, you are saying that I can take the opportunity to recruit?"
Mr. Xun nodded slightly and smiled without saying a word.
Mrs. Zheng thought about it for a while and said with some embarrassment.
"The Marquis of Jingbian seems to be a subordinate of the emperor's eldest grandson. I heard that he has expressed his allegiance to the emperor's eldest grandson many times - can we successfully recruit such a person?"
Mr. Xun smiled lightly.
"The Marquis of Jingbian was a poor young man. When he was in Huaiyin, he was looked down upon by others. Therefore, his pursuit of wealth is even better than that of ordinary people."
Having said this, Mr. Xun gently picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the tea soup.
"There is no deal that cannot be negotiated, only a price that cannot be paid - as long as Madam is willing to pay a sufficient price, who can't win over her?"
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly. She was a little confused about what Mr. Xun meant by "sufficient price."
I was about to ask more carefully to see if I could get another idea from Mr. Xun, but I never thought that Mr. Xun, who had been calm and calm across from me, suddenly pushed the case forward, stood up a little rudely, and looked straight at He touched her head, causing her to subconsciously hold the hairpin on her head with her hands, and then looked down at her clothes, thinking that there was something wrong with her.
After repeatedly making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, he asked with some confusion.
"Sir, why are you..."
Mr. Xun then reluctantly put away the look of shock on his face, walked up to her, and bowed respectfully.
"Just now, I saw the lady's head suddenly filled with purple energy and aura of nobility - maybe something big happened..."
Mrs. Zheng frowned in confusion.
"I haven't done anything recently, and nothing big seems to have happened in my house recently..."
Mr. Xun has a clear meaning.
"I heard that husband and wife share the same destiny. The wife's destiny will change according to her husband's destiny. Maybe the young master has some changes outside..."
At this time, Mrs. Zheng's mind was already filled with thoughts of her husband's rise. After hearing Mr. Xun's words, she immediately clapped her hands.
"I know, my husband must have found the fairy mountain overseas!"
Mr. Xun frowned, thought for a long time, and then nodded slightly.
"If Madam said this, it would be somewhat consistent..."
Mr. Xun twirled his beard and muttered to himself.
"The destiny star changes, the crape myrtle star moves, and there is a magnificent purple energy. Suddenly it comes from the east, and gradually grows into a rainbow. I am afraid that a bright master will appear in the world..."
After saying that, Mr. Xun stood up and left. Mrs. Zheng stood up hurriedly and saw her off in person.
"Mr. Xun, I need to do something now, please give me some advice..."
Seeing Mrs. Zheng's sincere expression, Mr. Xun hesitated for a long time before sighing.
"That's all. Madam treats me like this, how can I avoid saying anything? This time, even if the secret is revealed and my life is shortened by thirty years, I will admit it..."
Having said this, Mr. Xun looked at Mrs. Zheng and cupped his hands.
"Although the Madam's Qi is extremely precious, the aura is empty and may not have the power to connect the branches with the same Qi. If you want the Purple Qi to sink and completely belong to the Madam herself, the Madam must find a way and strive to be a good assistant minister of the main star position. , help him prove his position early..."
After saying that, he turned around and left. No matter how Mrs. Zheng greeted her, she never looked back again.
Looking at Mr. Xun walking away.
Mrs. Zheng increasingly felt that Mr. Xun was enigmatic and a true master of the world. When he thought that such a strange person in the world with supernatural powers felt that he was beyond words, he felt more and more that his husband was destined by fate, and that he was the queen destined by heaven.
Suddenly, he felt hot, and he had countless thoughts, just about to start, thinking about what he should do to help his husband go further.
When people are excited, their thinking becomes flexible.
Soon, she thought of how to help her husband.
…
Outside Baidaochuan.
Looking at the elites of Great Qin waiting there quietly, Mao Dun couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. It is one thing to forcefully rush through Baidaochuan when the Qin people are not paying attention. It is another thing to forcefully rush through Baidaochuan when the Qin army is well prepared.
The former can be an excuse for an emergency, while the latter is an unscrupulous declaration of war.
"I don't know which general is in front of me, but I am the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun. The situation is critical now, and the little king has nowhere to go, so I would like to ask the general to make way for us to temporarily escape. After that, the little king The king will not dare to forget the kindness of the general..."
After saying that, he stood on the horse and bowed deeply with a sincere expression.
"We, the Xiongnu and Da Qin, are good allies. I hope this general can be accommodating..."
After saying that, he subconsciously looked back.
He knew that even though there were veterans from the clan who risked their lives to stop the attack, they probably wouldn't be able to stop it for long. People like himself had to pass through this place as soon as possible before things could turn around.
Who knows, the general opposite shook his head coldly.
"This general has the responsibility to defend the territory. Before receiving His Majesty's order, I will never dare to let your army enter the territory of our Great Qin..."
Having said this, the general opposite even smiled apologetically.
Maodun Shanyu:......
Seeing the strong general opposite, he showed no intention of being accommodating. He could only jump off his horse and bow again.
"The little king and your country have an alliance agreement, and your majesty has also promised to send troops to assist. I also ask the general, for the sake of your majesty, to join forces with the little king to fight against Tu Yu's army behind..."
Having said this, Maodun Shanyu wanted to kneel down.
"If the general is willing to send troops to help, in addition to the reward from your country, Xiao Wang is willing to thank the general in private for an additional 10,000 oxen, horses, and sheep—"
The wealth and silk were so attractive that at this time, Mao Dun could no longer care about anything else.
As long as the general across from him is willing to join forces with him to fight against Tu Yu's army behind him, he believes that with the help of Great Qin's elite equipment and his own abilities, he will be able to drive Tu Yu out of his grassland!
Then, he saw the Qin army general opposite and shook his head with a cold expression.
"Sorry - no troops and horses are allowed to be mobilized without His Majesty's military orders. Shanyu, please come back..."
