After about half an hour, Han Xin could no longer bear his temper and began to greet Peng Yue and others, informing the team behind them to get ready to disembark!

Wang Li and others have been gone for more than an hour, and there is no news at all.

I don’t know if everything is fine, or if something unexpected happened, I didn’t even have time to send out a signal!

"General, general!"

At this moment, Wang Li and others ran back towards them happily, each holding a bunch of yellow things in their arms.

Looking at that posture, it didn't look like he was in danger, he was obviously very happy!

"call……"

Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief and rolled his eyes at the people under the boat.

"Put down the gangway!"

"yes!"

After receiving Han Xin's order, the navy immediately lowered the ladder so that Wang Li and others could board the ship smoothly.

Wang Li, Fan Kuai and others ran up happily, sweating on their foreheads and panting!

"There is no tiger chasing you, why are you so tired?"

With their physiques, they would definitely not be this tired from just running these few steps.

If they can make them pant like this, it proves that they have run a long way!

In addition, the temperature here is much higher than that in Daqin, and the sweat has already wet their thin shirts!

"Huhu..."

Wang Li and the others' chests were rising and falling, and they were panting heavily, "It's... not just for you to taste this thing!"

Afterwards, everyone threw the things in their arms onto the deck.

Looking at a pile of light yellow, fist-sized, slightly flat things on the deck, I frowned slightly!

This thing is very strange to them, they have never seen it in Da Qin!

"What's this?"

"I don't know either, but it's delicious and has a very strange taste!"

Wang Li said excitedly.

"oh?"

Hearing the sound, Han Xin picked up one of them and examined it carefully, "This thing... won't be poisonous, right?"

"Oh! Don't worry. When we went to the shore to investigate, there was no one around. When we were about to turn back, we suddenly heard something moving above our heads. When we looked up, we found a group of birds pecking at the fruit. ! I thought, birds are the most alert animals. Since they are all eating this kind of fruit, it must be delicious! So we picked a few and found that they are very sweet and the taste is very unique!"

Wang Li excitedly gave a rough outline of the future.

Han Xin looked at the other people around him suspiciously, and they all nodded firmly.

"Are you sure there's no one on the shore?"

Normally, even if there are not many people living along the coast of this place, there should be fishermen who go out to sea to fish.

At the worst, there have to be a few old men fishing, right?

How could there be no one there?

"Sure! Very sure!"

Several people were very determined.

If someone is found, the gun in their hand will definitely pull the trigger and make a sound!

If not, then it proves that nothing happened!

"Ouch! General Han, please try it quickly. This thing is really delicious!"

Under Wang Li's strong recommendation, Han Xin picked one up suspiciously and looked at it carefully, confirming that he had never seen it before.

Rub it on your clothes twice and stuff it into your mouth!

Suddenly he frowned, "Okay, how dare you lie to me? This thing is sweet, but very astringent!"

"Ouch! It's peeled. Try peeling it!"

At this time, Wang Li was stuffing fruits into other people's hands and didn't pay attention to his actions at all.

I didn’t expect that this guy would just take a bite without even letting go of the skin!

"Still peeling?"

"Yes! Wang Li was just like you at first. He only took one bite and spit it out directly. He also laughed at those birds for being stupid for leaving the insects alone and eating such unpalatable food! But after careful observation, he found that those birds My son only ate the pulp inside, and when he encountered the peel, he threw it directly to the ground! Only then did we realize that this kind of fruit must be peeled and eaten!"

Fan Kuai said with a silly smile.

"Okay, then I'll try again!"

Han Xin pinched the peel and slowly tore it apart.

I thought it would be difficult to peel off such a thin skin.

Unexpectedly, with just a slight tug, a strip of peel was torn off!

Taking another bite, it was sweet, soft and glutinous, with a strange fragrance!

"Yeah! It's really delicious!"

Han Xin smiled in admiration.

Seeing this, the others who got the fruits also did the same.

Peel off the bright yellow outer skin and bite into it.

Then, everyone showed an expression of enjoyment!

"Damn it, I never expected that the Mauryan Dynasty would have such delicious fruit! It would be great if we could bring it to our Great Qin and let the common people have a taste!"

The fruits brought back by a few people were limited. After eating the fruits, those who were given the fruits seemed to be still unsatisfied. They were wondering about their feet and kept looking towards the shore.

"Isn't this simple? Just like we did in Lingnan, once the Mauryan Dynasty is completely defeated, we can make these fruits into cans and bring them back to Xianyang!"

Meng Yun squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"It's definitely no problem to make cans, but you also have to count the sugar! With the ones we brought on board, it's good if we can make one pot!"

Yingchi stuffed the fruit into his mouth three times and spit out a thin core.

"You can bring as much as you can at that time. Go back and let His Highness the Crown Prince have a look to see what kind of fruit it is and whether it can be planted in our Daqin territory! Even if it can't be done, it doesn't matter. From now on, this Mauryan Dynasty will be my Daqin territory. You can grow it in our Daqin territory. Sugar cane is grown here, and the sugar cane is boiled into sugar, and then the fruit is canned and brought back to Daqin!"

Everyone was confident, feeling that the Maurya Dynasty was already within their grasp, and began to plan what would happen after the Maurya Dynasty was destroyed.

"The climate here is hot, and it seems to be on par with Lingnan. There is sugar cane here!"

Han Xin looked around and said.

"Huh? General Han is right!"

After hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wang Li, Wang Li? Is there any more fruit on the shore?"

Just as everyone was looking around, Peng Yue elbowed Wang Li beside him and asked quietly.

"Yes! There are many on the shore...!"

Wang Li pointed to a forest not far away and said, "Did you see it? That forest is basically full of these things! There are quite a few that are ripe and have fallen to the ground, and many of them are rotten! It looks like, People here don’t care at all!”

"Haha, that's great!"

This news made Peng Yue extremely happy, and he immediately cast a longing look at Han Xin, "Um... General Han, when will we land?"

Han Xin held a telescope and scanned the shore. After confirming that there was no danger, he said, "Give me the order. Except for the navy stationed on the ship, everyone should get off the ship with me!"

"yes!"

This news made everyone extremely happy.

Now, they no longer just want to get off the boat and feel down to earth.

What’s more, I want to enjoy that delicious and strange fruit!
