"Fuck! What are you doing?"
"Sh-!"
Laifu was just about to climb up the hole, but Chang Wei sat him down and couldn't help but become angry.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Chang Wei blocked his mouth and fumbled for the engineer shovel beside him, ready to fight at any time.
Laifu struggled hard to get out of Chang Wei's buttocks, breathing heavily, and was about to settle the score with Chang Wei, when he suddenly heard a confused voice coming from outside: "Who is there?"
"Um?"
Laifu was stunned, subconsciously covering his mouth and looking at Chang Wei with wide eyes.
Chang Wei's forehead was covered with sweat, his hands were tightly holding the engineering shovel, and he was shaking his head repeatedly.
Only then did he realize that there was someone outside.
"I already had someone check before I came here. There won't be anyone else here except us!"
"No, didn't you hear anything just now?"
"I didn't hear it, maybe it's a rat!"
"Can rats speak human language?"
"Ha, I think you are just scared by Ying Zheng."
"Why do you mean I'm scared by Ying Zheng? Aren't you afraid of him?"
"Okay, Zhao Gao will be here soon, let's go out and talk!"
"It's not Ying Chengyu, why are you colluding with a eunuch?"
"Zhao Gao is not an ordinary eunuch. You will understand later."
After saying this, there was a sound of closing the door outside. It wasn't until there was no sound of wind at all that Chang Wei collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily: "Oh my god, you scared me to death."
"What's going on? Where is this?"
Laifu ignored Chang Wei who was panting and quickly stepped forward to ask.
Chang Wei glanced at him with lingering fear and said: "This should be the Yinshan Palace in the northwest, and next to it is Jiujun Mountain!"
"Isn't Yinshan Palace His Majesty's bedroom? Did we just dig through His Majesty's bedroom?"
"Okay, it seems so."
"Who were those people just now?"
Laifu asked curiously.
Although he could hear some sounds, it was still not as clear as Chang Wei blocking the entrance of the cave.
But Chang Wei said as if reminiscing: "It seems to be Lord Chang'an and Lord Jingyang."
"Why did Lord Chang'an collude with Lord Jingyang?" Laifu asked in surprise.
Chang Wei shook his head and said: "Not only Jingyang Lord, but also Zhao Gao!"
"Zhao Gao?"
Laifu was stunned for a moment and seemed unable to react.
Chang Wei didn't say much, and got up from the ground directly: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, we have to leave quickly!"
"Then this hole."
"I'll get some mines and put them here. As long as someone comes in, I'll make sure they never come back!"
"You are crazy, this is His Majesty's palace!"
Laifu's eyes widened and he looked at Chang Wei in disbelief.
Chang Wei didn't take it seriously: "Your Majesty has so many palaces, one or two less palaces won't be a problem. Besides, isn't your Majesty not in Xianyang? What are you afraid of?"
"Who says I'm afraid? I'm just worried that it will harm the young master!"
Laifu said angrily, and then said thoughtfully: "Oh, by the way, you said that Ying Chengyu colluded with Zhao Gao, did you have some conspiracy?"
Chang Wei thought for a while and said: "Logically speaking, Zhao Gao should be with His Majesty, but we have not heard any news that His Majesty has returned to the palace. In other words, Zhao Gao may have sneaked back!"
"He doesn't want his life. How dare he sneak back here?"
"It's impossible to say for sure. It's possible that he came back under orders!"
"It shouldn't be. If you came back under orders, why did you collude with a rebel like Ying Chengyu and hook up with Lord Jingyang?" Laifu became even more confused.
Chang Wei shrugged: "I don't know about that!"
"No, I think there's something fishy about this!"
Laifu frowned, then tilted his head to look at Chang Wei and said, "How about we write a letter to inform the young master?"
"The young master hasn't contacted us in months, how can we notify him?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Chang Wei rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "How about we go to Nanhai to find the young master?"
"Going to the South China Sea?"
Laifu was a little surprised.
Guanzhong is thousands of miles away from the South China Sea, so it's not something you can just go to if you want to.
However, Chang Wei gave his own reasons:
"Anyway, we can't dig out a beam of light now, so it's useless to stay here!"
"this"
Laifu hesitated for a moment and sighed: "It's strange to say that since the young master left, we haven't found a single beam of light. It seems that the light ran away with the young master!"
"What's so strange about this? I've already said that those lights can only be touched by Young Master, which means they are following Young Master around. Wherever Young Master is, the light is there!"
"You mean, we can dig out light in the South China Sea?"
Laifu's heart moved, and he seemed to think Chang Wei was right.
But Chang Wei didn't have much confidence and could only answer ambiguously: "How will you know if you don't try?"
"Then Chu Nan Pavilion."
"Young master is not in Chu Nan Pavilion, why are we still here?"
Chang Wei was a little unhappy with Laifu.
Laifu shook his head and explained: "What I mean is that after leaving Chunan Pavilion, how can we go to Nanhai? Without a customs clearance certificate, even if we can get out of Xianyang, we can't get out of Neishi District!"
"this"
Chang Wei was speechless, and suddenly thought of something, and slapped his forehead: "By the way, we can find Mr. Mond, he should be able to help us!"
"That mine"
"Let's not arrange the arrangements for now. Let's get the slate fragments back, and then move something to block the hole. Once we get the customs clearance certificate, we can escape from here!"
"good!"
With that said, the two of them came out of the tunnel one after the other and carefully groped around the Yinshan Palace, looking like two humanoid mice.
At the same time, the Nanhai Shogunate.
Zhao Hao was sitting in the shogunate's yamen, carefully reviewing documents sent from various places.
Chen Ping was helping Zhao Hao sort out the urgently needed documents.
Han Xin was studying the maps of South Vietnam and Fujian on the table.
After the rebellion of Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao, the South China Sea gradually stabilized, and a new team headed by Zhao Hao, Han Xin, and Chen Ping was formed. No one questioned Zhao Hao's status in the South China Sea.
During this period, Zhao Hao asked Ying Zheng for the strategy of "harmonizing Baiyue", and Ying Zheng happily adopted it.
At the same time, in order to better rule the territory conquered by the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Hao also encouraged intermarriage between Qin and Yue in the name of the imperial court and introduced the Qin culture, customs, and farming techniques.
And adopted the strategy of "uniting a group of people first" and reused the Yue generals headed by Yu Song and Mu Lin, as well as a large number of talented Yue civilians.
That's right, they can only be Yue civilians.
Da Qin has always been very indifferent towards the attitude of the Yue nobles.
Again, there are no nobles in Da Qin, let alone clan clans.
The First Emperor continued to move wealthy nobles from six countries to Xianyang in order to suppress this phenomenon.
Only in this way can Da Qin's policies be carried out without any obstacles, land annexation will not occur and people will be displaced, and Da Qin's rule can be long-term and stable.
When one family began to monopolize a township, a county, or even a county, the dynasty was already in decline.
Da Qin's series of strategies that focus on civilians are mainly to mobilize the enthusiasm of civilians.
As long as the common people recognized Da Qin's dominance, the so-called aristocrats would not be able to cause much trouble.
"It's so rare that you didn't sleep in!"
While Zhao Hao was carefully reviewing the documents, Ying Zheng walked into the shogunate office with a smile and teased him.
"Um?"
Zhao Hao reacted for a moment, quickly stood up from his seat, walked to Ying Zheng and saluted: "My son, please see your father!"
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
Han Xin and Chen Ping also quickly saluted Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand, looked around, and then looked at Zhao Hao: "How is it? Are you still used to it?"
"To be honest, I'm not used to it at all. I have to ask the old general to continue to control the South China Sea!"
"You have a pretty good idea!"
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at Zhao Hao and said: "This is all caused by your kid. Now we should kill those who should be killed and arrest those who should be arrested. There is no one to deal with your mess. Even if the old general is here to take charge, it will be useless!"
Zhao Hao immediately called out to Qu: "Why was it all caused by me? Didn't my father also participate in it?"
"Who said I was involved?"
Ying Zheng said in a funny tone: "Aren't I imprisoned by you?"
Zhao Hao: "."
Ying Zheng: "."
Zhao Hao: "Father, you are the great First Emperor, and you don't want to cheat!"
Ying Zheng: "When did I cheat on a plan that I was not involved in? When the old general was attacked, I was so sad that I couldn't even eat. And when you imprisoned me, I was so angry."
"."
Zhao Hao was speechless and couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead. Finally, he sighed helplessly and changed the subject: "I wonder what the matter is when my father came to see me today?"
"Just now your third brother came to report to me that Minyue wants to marry us!"
"Marriage?"
Zhao Hao was stunned: "Who are you marrying?"
"Of course with you!"
"With me?"
"Yes, everyone has been sent!"
Ying Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Do you want to go take a look?"
"No, I'm not going!"
Zhao Hao refused directly.
Ying Zheng glanced at him lightly and said: "I won't force you to be a barbarian princess, but you have to go and have a look. It is said that the envoy has important matters to negotiate with you!"
"in addition."
After saying that, he paused and said with a serious expression: "I have something else to tell you, Zhao Gao has returned to Xianyang!"
"Oh? Is he so brave? How dare he really betray his father?"
Zhao Hao was more interested in Zhao Gao than the Minyue envoy.
Although this sentence was intended to make fun of Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng did not say much about Zhao Gao. He just reminded him in a nonchalant way: "Your people are in Xianyang, so they'd better be careful!"
"Haha, father, don't worry, my subordinates are not ordinary people, they know what to do!"
"Hmph, I'm talking about Chu Nan Pavilion!"
"ah?"
Zhao Hao reacted and couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.
Compared with smart people like Xiao He and Zhang Cang, Laifu and Chang Wei are obviously no match for Zhao Gao. It would be really difficult to handle if Zhao Gao attacks them.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao quickly turned to look at Chen Ping: "Chen Ping, ask people from the Security Bureau to contact Laifu and Chang Wei. If the situation goes bad, remember to bring them here!"
"Hi!"
Chen Ping bowed his hands, turned around and left the shogunate office.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hao looked at Ying Zheng again: "Father, I am going to meet the Minyue envoy. You can rest here for a while. I have asked people to prepare mutton hot pot. You can eat it to warm yourself up first! "
"good!"
Ying Zheng readily agreed.
Not long after, Zhao Hao saw Mu Kui and Princess Yingluo in the front hall.
However, his eyes only stayed on Princess Yingluo for a moment, and then he asked Mu Kui directly: "I won't say any more polite words. My third brother should have talked with you a lot. Now tell me, what are you doing here?" The purpose of the trip!”
"this"
Mu Kui was embarrassed for a moment and subconsciously looked at Princess Yingluo.
Princess Yingluo frowned slightly, obviously not used to Zhao Hao's straightforward personality, but she still sincerely stated the purpose of her trip: "We are here to ask your country to withdraw its troops!"
"?"
Zhao Hao thought his ears heard it wrong, and a black question mark slowly appeared on his forehead.
The other generals couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Hahaha, you want us to retreat? It's really ridiculous! How is this possible?"
Now that the rebellion of Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao has ended, everyone in the South China Sea is united and is about to pacify Minyue, conquer South Vietnam, and unify Baiyue. Now asking them to withdraw their troops, isn't that a fool's errand?
After reacting, Zhao Hao couldn't help but chuckle, shook his head and said: "Women's words are indeed unreliable. Please make it clear!"
"this"
Mu Kui said awkwardly: "To be honest, sir, we are indeed here to ask your country to withdraw its troops..."
"Oh? Give me a reason to retreat?"
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows and said amusedly, "If you want to stop the war through marriage, I advise you not to think about it. She is not Xi Tzu, and I am not Fu Cha!"
"you!"
Yingluo was so angry at Zhao Hao's words that she blushed. She had never been so humiliated before, and tears flowed down her face.
"Hey, hey, don't cry here, even if you cry, I won't be soft-hearted!"
"I won't cry, I won't cry, I won't cry for you!"
Princess Yingluo wiped away her tears to comfort herself, while turning her back to Zhao Hao.
Seeing this, Mu Kui on the side said quickly:
"Young master, you have misunderstood. The real purpose of our trip is to profess vassalage to the Qin Dynasty. We are willing to respect the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, pay tribute every year, and defend the southeast for the Celestial Empire. Moreover, we have also prepared generous gifts!"
As he spoke, he took out a bundle of bamboo slips from his sleeves and read loudly:
"Two thousand catties of gold, thirty thousand catties of silver, fifty pairs of white jade stones, twenty pairs of luminous pearls, three thousand fine East Sea pearls, twenty pieces of coral over three feet tall, and precious bear skins, fox skins, and mink skins. Thousands of them!”
"this"
After listening to the list of gifts recited by Mu Kui, all the generals in Nanhai were stunned, their eyes flashing with greedy red light, thinking that if these things were sent, they would definitely benefit themselves.
However, after Zhao Hao listened to Mu Kui's gift list, he smiled faintly: "Our Central Plains land is rich in products. It is spread all over the world and has thousands of subjects. Do you have any rare treasures? Although you have rich things, our Central Plains Dynasty has not yet Take it seriously!"
"Yes! When we capture Minyue, these things will be ours. Do we still need you to send them?"
Wu Nian echoed.
"Hahaha!"
The generals burst into laughter.
Zhao Hao suddenly straightened his face and shouted: "Our Central Plains Dynasty is a country of etiquette, so we must not be rude!"
As soon as these words came out, all the generals suppressed their laughter and became as silent as cicadas.
Obviously, Zhao Hao's status in the South China Sea is not the same as when he first came to the South China Sea.
