Whew~ The villain in Chen Xu's mind shook off the sweat on his forehead.

If he hadn't crossed over and knew about the current situation of some grasslands, he would definitely not have worked so hard for Jiang Hu to whitewash.

According to what later generations knew, the current Xiongnu were really almost a plate of scattered sand, but they were also taking advantage of the war of the Central Plains princes to grow stronger.

In another ten years or so, the Xiongnu will emerge a fierce man who killed his father and ascended the throne, that is, the famous Mao Dun Shan Yu in history (note: pronounced mò dú, not màodùn).

And it was this Mao Dun, who took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains to rise rapidly at the time of the Chu and Han wars, defeated Donghu and Dayue after unifying the northern grasslands, and established a unified Xiongnu Empire, and then, he led the Xiongnu to conquer more than 20 countries such as Loulan, Wusun, and Hujie, and controlled most of the Western Regions. To the north, he conquered the kingdoms of Hunyao, Quxiao, Dingling, Qikun, and Xinli, and to the south, annexed the territories of Loufu (present-day northeast Shanxi) and the southern king of Baiyang Henan, and reoccupied the south of the Hetao. The Xiongnu have a vast area from Yinshan in the south, Baikal Lake in the north, Liao River in the east, and green mountains in the west.

The Xiongnu also became a huge obstacle to the expansion and development of Chinese civilization, not only raiding the Chinese border for many years and plundering women's goods, but also cutting off the trade between the Central Plains and the countries of the Western Regions, suppressing the Central Plains and seriously threatening the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty.

This situation has lasted for more than a hundred years, until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qinghuo led the army to completely defeat the main force of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, and the Xiongnu were driven out of the south of the desert to the more desolate and bitter cold land of the north of the desert, and then the Xiongnu began to gradually split, to the period of the Han and Emperor, the Central Plains defeated the Xiongnu again, the Huns completely decomposed, part surrendered to the Central Plains, part of the escape to Central Asia, and at the same time the Xianbei people rose to occupy the territory of the Huns, the Xiongnu disappeared from the map of China, a once huge empire, A nation that had brought great calamity to the Central Plains had thus completely disappeared.

In other words, the current Xiongnu are actually slowly rising.

Fortunately, the Central Plains was finally unified after more than ten years of conquest by princes.

Only by taking this opportunity to completely kill the Xiongnu will the history of the Xiongnu's invasion and oppression of the Central Plains not be repeated again.

And this is also one thing that Chen Xu has been doing since the beginning, that is, he has constantly instigated Qin Shi Huang to scare the Xiongnu, only when the Xiongnu are finished, Daqin can put his eyes on the Western Regions, put it in the more vast and open West Asia and Europe, otherwise when the Xiongnu rise and grow, Daqin can only be blocked in this place that thinks it is the Central Plains of the world and continue to fight each other.

And this fight is two thousand years, until the Qing Dynasty, Westerners drove in with strong ships and cannons, and then they woke up, it turned out that in addition to my great China, the earth is still in the shape of a ball, not only that, but there are countless countries outside the Central Plains, one by one, they are all terrible, and they all come to bully the old Chinese uncle.

Qin Shi Huang didn't care about the life or death of Jiang Hu and the two thousand horse pawns, he was concerned about the manufacturing method that the Xiongnu might get the new horse pawn equipment, but now after listening to Chen Xu's explanation, the anger and depression after getting the secret music were swept away.

"Aiqing is newly married, I have been busy with state affairs recently, so I haven't chatted with Aiqing for several days, it just so happens that I am a little hungry at this time, let's go, Aiqing will accompany me to eat some food to satisfy my hunger, and by the way, I will also drink a few glasses of Qinghe wine to relieve fatigue!" Qin Shi Huang smiled and took Chen Xu's hand and walked out of the hall.

Chen Xu couldn't cry or laugh, but as soon as Qin Shi Huang said this, he also felt that he was indeed hungry, so he had to follow the big boss to eat and drink.

Although it is already the end of the unitary time, it has long passed the time to eat, but the imperial dining room is still fully prepared, because the emperor likes to work overtime to review the chapters, so the meal time is not too fixed, after getting the transmission of the palace people, the imperial dining room quickly prepared a table of hot meals, chicken, duck and fish are very rich, and they are all the same as the production method of Qinghe Hotel, and it is no longer the original production method of non-boiling and roasting in the past, and the color and fragrance of frying and cooking are complete.

"Aiqing, please take a seat!" Qin Shi Huang was already in a very good mood at this time, and after warmly inviting Chen Xu to take a seat, dozens of eunuchs, officials, palace maids and imperial chefs were waiting beside him.

The red Qinghe wine is poured into the porcelain cup, exuding a clear and sweet aroma of fruit wine.

"Come, Aiqing and I have a drink together!" Qin Shi Huang raised his glass, and after the two of them drank, they began to eat and drink while chatting.

Qin Shi Huang eats most of the time alone, and the concubines in the harem sometimes come back to accompany him, but rarely, because they don't know Qin Shi Huang's meal time, so they don't dare to come to disturb Qin Shi Huang at will.

Therefore, for Qin Shi Huang, there is very little time to eat easily like this, and he will only have this feeling when he eats with Chen Xu, very relaxed, very casual, and the content of the conversation also makes Qin Shi Huang like it very much, because Chen Xu will say some content in the three volumes of the book every time, which makes Qin Shi Huang very interested.

While eating and chatting, soon an hour passed, the two of them did not eat much, but drank several bottles of wine, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and finally they were drunk and smoked.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, the minister can't continue to disturb His Majesty's rest, wait for Your Majesty to be free another day, and the minister will come and chat with Your Majesty again!" After being full of wine and food, Chen Xu stood up with a flushed face and said goodbye.

The sixteen-year-old still couldn't withstand too much of the stimulation of alcohol, and he was already feeling a little dizzy at this time.

"Haha, I did something wrong, Aiqing has just been newly married, and there is still a beautiful lady waiting at home, come and send Qinghe Hou back to the house!" Qin Shi Huang stood up with a smile, his face was also red, and his body shook slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Qinghe Marquis, please~" The two eunuchs bowed together.

"Your Majesty, the minister retires!" Chen Xu was not drunk to the point of getting carried away, and after saluting Qin Shi Huang, he went out of the imperial dining room under the leadership of two eunuchs.

Outside the dining room was a garden, it was early summer, the weather was warm, the courtyard was full of flowers and trees, and many guards were still on guard.

After drinking a little too much, Chen Xu was also a little confused, and followed the two eunuchs through the garden and then zigzagged along a corridor, slowly getting drunk, and his footsteps were a little messy.

"Master Hou, you seem to be a little drunk, do you want to get some sobering plum soup for you, you have to walk three or five miles out of the harem to get out of the palace, and it is difficult to walk after dark, if Master Hou falls and hurts the two of us, I'm afraid we will lose our heads tomorrow!" Another eunuch also hurriedly said.

"Well, it's okay, go get it!"

After walking this way, Chen Xu felt that he was indeed a little drunk, and there was a feeling of fluctuation, so he also felt that it was better to sober up and go out again, and the palace was extremely complicated, if he accidentally took the wrong way and fell into a ditch or drowned in a well and pond, it would be a big loss, even if he didn't drown, it would inevitably become a joke, and tomorrow it would definitely be in Xianyang, and some people would even add oil and vinegar to say that Qinghe Hou fell into the toilet last night.

A eunuch trotted away, and soon came over with a bowl of sour plum soup, Chen Xu sat on the stone bench next to the railing and tasted it, the sweet and sour was very delicious, it was indeed sour plum soup, so he didn't care, after a few sips of dry, he leaned on the railing and rested a little to prepare to sober up before leaving.

But what he didn't expect was that this break became more and more dizzy, the lanterns hanging in the corridor began to double, and he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and just when he forcibly opened his eyes and was about to stand up, his feet fell down as soon as he was weak.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye~" In a daze, he felt that he was being supported by someone left and right.

"Get me out of the palace!" Although Chen Xu felt top-heavy at this time, he couldn't walk, but his heart was still sober.

"Yes, Master Hou!" The two palace people continued to walk along the corridor with Chen Xu on their left and right, zigzag and twisted in a daze, and they didn't know how far they went, and the surroundings became quieter and darker.

"What kind of place is this? Is it the wrong way? Chen Xu asked in a daze.

"Hou Ye, rest assured, it's already the time of day, the gate of the harem has already been locked, let's go out of the palace faster by taking the small door for patients!" One patient hastened to say.

"That's good...... Then ...... Good ......" Chen Xu said but couldn't hold it anymore, feeling that his body was slowly surrounded by a cloud of darkness, his soul seemed to have fallen into an abyss, and finally his head hung and he was completely unconscious.

"Hou Ye~Hou Ye~" The two eunuchs called for a long time, and found that Chen Xu was really unconscious, so they glanced at each other, and then left quickly with Chen Xu.

And not long after the two eunuchs left with Chen Xu, a slender woman wearing a long cyan skirt appeared in the corridor, holding a short sword in her hand and a black scarf on her face.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk~" In the dim night, in a remote side hall gatehouse, the eunuch who came with Chen Xu gently knocked on the window.

"How's it going?" A feminine man's voice came from the room.

"Lord Zhao, we have succeeded, Qinghe Hou has fallen asleep!" A eunuch replied in a whisper.

"Squeak!" The wooden door of the gatehouse was pushed open, and a young man wearing a eunuch's official uniform walked out, it was Zhao Gao's fourth son, Zhao Zhe.

Looking at Chen Xu, who was already hanging his head and snoring slightly, Zhao Zhe's slightly pale face showed a hideous smile, grabbed Chen Xu's hair and raised his head to take a look, and found that it was indeed Chen Xu who made him hate him, and then turned his head around and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he turned around and said, "Follow me!" ”
