39. Look at the sea

"I can't rebel against Qin and Chu every day." Xiang Liang said to Xiang Yu.

So, after holding a grand and strange engagement ceremony according to the old customs of the Wu Kingdom, Xiang Yu reluctantly bid farewell to Yu Ji and left Yu Island with Xiang Liang.

It's strange that she vomited a lot when she came. When she went back, Xiang Yu was standing on the boat and didn't feel dizzy at all, which surprised Xiang Liang and others.

Xiang Yu, who had no reasonable answer after thinking about it, could only explain in this way: "This may be the power of love."

For this answer, Xiang Liang's evaluation was a thunderclap that almost fell on Xiang Yu's head.

Looking at the vast sea in front of him, Xiang Liang suddenly said, "Yu'er, do you know why our Great Chu has never explored this sea for thousands of years?"

Xiang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then subconsciously said, "What is there to explore the sea?"

Xiang Yu's idea is actually consistent with the ideas of most people in the Chinese world today.

The vast ocean is boundless and without fresh water, it is difficult to obtain food, and more importantly... there is no value of exploration.

There is no food on land, so why do you have to go through a lot of hardships and take huge risks to explore the ocean?

Regarding Xiang Yu's answer, Xiang Liang shook his head: "No, the sea is of course of exploration value."

Xiang Yu looked at Xiang Liang in confusion. He knew that his father Ji had something to say next.

Xiang Liang said lightly: "Just while you are busy with love, I had a conversation with the old fox Yu Pian and gained a lot of knowledge about Xu Fu."

"Xu Fu?" Xiang Yu was shocked and then relieved: "Indeed, Zhang Zifang said at that time that Xu Fu still seems to be on an island in the sea."

Xiang Liang nodded and said, "That's true, so there is land in the sea, do you understand?"

Xiang Yu touched his head and said, "Even if there is land, it will not be as good as China today."

Xiang Liang smiled and said, "No, you are wrong. According to the old guy Yu Pian, there is an extremely huge continent on the ocean about a thousand miles north of the place where Xu Fu lives now, with many Fusang trees growing on it. It is very likely that it is the legendary Fusang land! This Fusang land may not be as small as today's China!"

"The land of Fusang? A continent that is likely to be smaller than today's China?" Xiang Yu was shocked.

For some reason, when she heard this sentence, a very strong urge to laugh suddenly surged in Xiang Yu's heart, but Xiang Yu immediately suppressed this impulse.

Xiang Yu thought for a while and said, "Maybe this is just Xu Fu's statement of pretending to be a god."

Xiang Yu actually didn't believe in Xu Fu very much. After all, Xu Fu even dared to cheat on Qin Emperor Zhao Zheng, so it was not surprising that such a person would tell any lies.

Xiang Liang smiled and said in a daze: "Who knows? You said that if our Xiang clan really discovered the Fusang continent, then it would be a choice to build a country in Fusang."

Xiang Yu looked at his father Ji and made a very firm judgment in his mind - Ji's father probably, or maybe he was deceived by Xu Fu's evil!

So Xiang Yu decided that if he really saw Xu Fu one day, he would slap Xu Fu twice first and then speak slowly.

Coincidentally, at almost the same time, someone was also mentioning the name Xu Fu on the sea thousands of miles away.

The emperor mentioned Xu Fu.

The emperor was standing on the deck of the largest Yuhuang warship in Daqin. He was surrounded by dozens or hundreds of Daqin warships. Many ships bulged their sails and slowly approached the land not far away under the blowing of the sea breeze.

There is a large city there, its name is Langya, which was once the capital of Yue Kingdom and one of the important towns in the east of the Great Qin Dynasty.

After arriving in Langya, the emperor's trip to the sea was about to end.

"Is Xu Fu dead? Why has so many years passed and I still haven't heard from him?" The emperor said to several close ministers around him.

Several close ministers bowed their heads at the same time.

The emperor wants immortality.

Xu Fu said that the East China Fairy Island has immortality.

Xu Fu never returns.

The emperor came to the East China Sea in person, but there was no fairy island.

The emperor was very angry.

The ministers dare not speak.

After a while, Li Si gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, maybe... Xu Fu is still trying to get the pill of immortality for His Majesty, and it is unknown."

The emperor laughed loudly, with obvious anger in his laughter.

"No, I know he will never come back."

A few steps away, the body of the Qin prince Hu Hai suddenly trembled.

Others only heard anger, but Hu Hai, the emperor's favorite young son, noticed something unusual from his father.

Later that day, Qin Shihuang ignored the Langya subjects who were greeted on the pier, but went directly to the palace.

Afterwards, Qin Shihuang summoned Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu who had been retired in Langya for many years, and had a secret conversation for a long time.

When Wang Ben left, he stood at the door of the hall and glanced at Meng Yi and Zhao Gao next to the door.

Meng Yi and Zhao Gao saluted at the same time: "Marquis Tongwu."

The journey of the Qin Dynasty to destroy the six kingdoms was almost the performance of Wang Jian and Wang Ben and his son. For such an empire, even two popular gangsters must maintain respect.

Wang Ben, who was already covered in white hair and his body began to become a little hunched because of his old age, smiled and bowed back: "It's just a broken body. How can you be such a big gift for two of you? Doctor, please come in, Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Meng Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and entered the hall.

Wang Ben did not leave immediately, but looked at Zhao Gao and smiled, "I plan to hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow to invite several old friends to the banquet. I wonder if the CRRC Mansion Order is willing to give him a favor?"

Zhao Gao was startled at first, and then showed a clear expression of joy on his face: "Whoever invites you, how can Gao not go? You must go and disturb him at that time."

Wang Ben smiled and left.

In the hall, Meng Yi saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am here."

The emperor nodded and said lightly: "You recommended Xu Fu back then, right?"

Meng Yi's cold sweat instantly wet his back and he knelt down with a thud: "I, I don't know what I know, please punish Your Majesty!"

Meng Yi knew very well that there was no point in quibbling in front of the emperor.

a long time.

Just when Meng Yi was even shaking because of his huge fear, the emperor spoke again.

"During this period, I have been wondering whether a mere guess can make Xiang Yu convince me to promote the doctor's order to promote it? It was not until not long ago that I finally figured it out.

You, Meng Yi, are not a fool, why do you take the risk to advise Xiang? The Meng family has nothing to do with Xiang family, so the only possibility is that Xiang family is actually one of Xu Fu's supporters, right?"

Speaking of this, murderous intent seemed to appear on the emperor's face!
