In the winter, the north is already covered with snow, and the Hepu Port (Guangxi Beihai), located in the extreme south of the empire, is still a little sunny.

The boatmen and soldiers can wear only short clothes, lie on the sandy and clean white beach, and enjoy this comfortable time.

As far as the eye could see, the South Vietnamese were fishing in the shallow sea, and their fishing methods were very special: stepping on stilts, carrying heavy fishing nets on their shoulders, and pushing 罾 (zēng), rising, harvesting, picking shrimp, shaking and so on in the sea, because there are many creatures in the sea, and every time they harvest a lot.

Fish and shrimp, etc., the South Vietnamese people throw them into the basket at will, and keep them for cooking, but every time they catch a sea mussel, they have to immediately open it, and find that there are round and shiny pearls lying quietly inside, which is a big lottery.

What's more, at the risk of shark bites in the sea, they directly hold their breath and dive into the deep sea to catch large mussels in the cracks of the reef.

After receiving the pearls, the Yue people would excitedly put them in small bowls made of banana leaves, and run to the Qin people's port, which had just been built a few months earlier, to offer the pearls.

According to the color and size of the pearls, the merchants would pick and choose and give the Yue people some goods from the Central Plains: cloth, brown sugar, pottery, and even rice.

This can be said to be a win-win trade, the Yue people left happily, and the merchants from Nanjun and Yuzhang were also satisfied with holding the big pearls that were rarely seen in the Central Plains, and laughed at the Yue people for taking the pearls as rubble.

All of this is seen by Ren Huan in the harbor,

Obtaining the pearls of the Central Plains is one of the reasons why the Marquis of Changnan built a port here, but if it is only for this matter, there is no need to bother General Lou Chuan to go out of the way.

But Heifu still has a secret mission for Ren Huan.

That was more than a month ago:

"Recently, I heard that the pedestrian Wu Shiyan sent an envoy to the Western Regions to the west of the Green Ridge in the Great Xia Kingdom, and actually saw Shu cloth, Qiong staff and other products of Bashu in Great Xia. By the end of last year, Zhang Cang had translated his language with the Great Xia scholar Su Shi in Xianyang, and exchanged more words, so he asked those Bashu products where the Great Xia people came from? The people of Bactria claim that it was obtained from poisoning in the south......"

Heifu talked eloquently about Ren Huan, but these distant things made Ren Huan look confused, what is this about Lingnan?

"These two things are linked."

Heifu was very serious and forcibly linked the two things.

"This general has made Zhao Tuo find out, from Bashu can pass through the southwest Yi Yelang country, from the Yelang country along the Qiqi River, can go to Panyu in South Vietnam, wolf sauce, Shu brocade, Qiong stick, etc. can come here, and the Yue people are good at navigation, often trade back and forth by the sea, maybe these goods, little by little along the sea route, to the west of the body poison, and then trafficked to the north of Daxia......"

This is actually the role of the "Shu Body Poison Road" that has always existed, but in order to find an excuse to send Ren Huan away from Panyu, Heifu opened the Maritime Silk Road in advance.

"Last year, Xu Fu led everyone out of Panyu, to the west, from Xu Wen (Leizhou Peninsula) south into the sea, to get a big island, hundreds of miles from east to west, north and south, named Zhuya Island, slightly thought to be Lingao County."

At this age, Xu Fu bypassed Xu Wen again, went west, and went to the land of the pearl of Haishi, and built Hepu Port. A local Yue man who lived for hundreds of years told Xu Fu that the west of Hepu had been sailed for ten days, and the coast turned southward, which was thousands of miles away, but when he drove to the land of extreme summer, he suddenly went west, and there was a narrow sea channel that could lead to another strange ocean......

"I guess that if you go down this sea route, you may be able to reach the body poison, and the Tiaozhi country where Your Majesty sent General Li Xin to go on the expedition, and even the Western Queen Mother State that Your Majesty has worked so hard to seek, is said to be west of the body poison!"

The so-called "Yue people are old" does not exist at all, Xu Fu only sent people to the mouth of the Red River at the farthest, and there are still 108,000 miles away from Malacca.

But anyway, it's a blind fabrication, and Heifu doesn't care about the specific location, and he will be bluffed by nonsense.

Since it is an order to "pass through the Western Queen Mother State for His Majesty", it is difficult for Ren Huan to refuse, so he can only reluctantly go out to sea......

But unexpectedly, when he arrived in Hepu, he fell ill.

Ren Huan withdrew his gaze from the silver beach outside the window, clutched his stomach, and lay weakly in the cabin, with a foul smell in the air......

At first, he ate seafood and made a stomach, as the best person in the fleet, Xu Fu prescribed a few medicines for him, but he didn't expect it to become more and more serious, half a month later, Ren Huan has been pulled into prostration, the whole person is deformed, and he has no choice but to raise in Hepu and hand over the command of the fleet to Wei Yang, the nephew of Heifu - because of the battle in the dust, he cooperated with Han Xin to kill King Luo and made great contributions, and has been promoted to the rank of public doctor, and can be the Sima of the building.

At this time, the door opened, but it was Xu Fu who walked close with the two of them, still holding a bowl of unpleasant medicine in his hand, and smiling:

"General Ren, it's time to drink medicine!"

……

The magicians in this year are all all-round players, not only can read constellations, but also know geography, can alchemy, are good at fortune telling, and can even carry a medicine basket on their backs and make a cameo appearance as a doctor.

Taking care of Ren Huan, Xu Fu can be said to do his best, because he was afraid that he would find the medicinal soup bitter, so he specially added sugar.

But today, the bittersweet medicinal soup was handed to his mouth, and there was a trace of doubt in Ren Huan's eyes.

"Mr. Xu, are you sure you made a mistake with this medicine?"

Xu Fu restrained his smile, as if his professionalism had been insulted: "General, what do you mean by this?" ”

"I've been sick for half a month, why do the more I drink Mr.'s medicine, the more serious it becomes?" Ren Huan suspected that Xu Fu had not been in a day or two.

Xu Fu sighed and said: "The general has dysentery, this is a Lingnan disease, and his stomach and intestines are broken, how can he recover so quickly?" The villain's medical skills barely saved the general's life, as for the cure? I'm afraid it will take some time. ”

As he spoke, he brought the medicinal soup to Ren Huan with both hands.

"Ben won't drink!"

Ren Huan had already lost his patience, and ordered the two guards who were on standby: "Please Mr. Xu go out!" ”

He's going to change doctors.

But the two guards didn't move!

"Thou shalt wait for ......"

Ren Huan, who had been tortured by illness for many days and was a little sluggish, found that these two people seemed to be a little embarrassed......

"The general is really sick, and he has begun to learn from Cai Huangong, and he is avoiding medical treatment!"

Xu Fu's cold voice came, but he saw him slowly retreating, and as soon as he compared his hands, the two "personal guards" rushed up and held Ren Huan down, one gagged, and the other tied him with a rope.

"Xu Fu, what do you want, do you want to rebel?"

Ren Huan was shocked and wanted to resist, but after pulling his stomach for half a month, he didn't have any strength at all.

"How dare you, it's just that the general has a stubborn disease, so as not to infect the soldiers, so that everyone in the boat division dies of illness, and has to be isolated for a period of time, offending ......"

Ren Huan's voice couldn't be heard, Xu Fu retreated to the door with a smile, and said to the Li Cang sent by Heifu from Panyu outside the door:

"Please also report back to the prince, Xu Fuxing has not disgraced his life, he has restrained Ren Huan, Lou Boat Master, and now it is Wei's!"

……

"General Ren died in Hepu."

A few days later, Hefu informed the child of the sad news.

Ziying was stunned in place, but saw Heifu beating his chest in front of him, crying bitterly:

"I killed General Ren! If I hadn't asked General Ren to find a waterway to Tiaozhi and the Western Queen Mother State, and stay in Panyu well, he wouldn't have suffered a great disaster! ”

"I have worked with General Ren for many years, close to each other, in Jiaodong, in Minyue, in Panyu, you and I have the help of the horns, head to end, and now unfortunately die, God, God! It hurts me so much! It hurts me! ”

Heifu was so grieved that Ziying had to comfort him.

Ziying didn't know about the drastic changes that had taken place in the court, so he was only assigned by the Marquis of Changwu to take Heifu to Yicheng to pick up the driver, and the military affairs of Lingnan were handed over to Ren Huan, but now Ren Huan died suddenly, what should be done?

At this time, Heifu also ended the cat crying mouse, wiped the water on his face, and said:

"The emperor's order cannot be violated, it is now the end of the month, there is no longer any delay, I must immediately go north with the prison army!"

Ziying was anxious: "Wait, Changnanhou, if you leave, the Lingnan counties will have no boss, and someone will have to be in charge!" ”

In case because of Heifu's hurried departure, Lingnan Zhuyue rebelled, and Ziying could not bear this sin.

"People can't be suffocated by urine, there is always a way."

Hefu took the opportunity to call the military judge to come up and ask him solemnly:

"Jun Zhengcheng, now that the general has passed away, and Benhou will leave Lingnan, according to the law, who should hand over the command of the army?"

He said with a glance: "When the title is moved down in turn, in this way, if the prince goes north, the military affairs of Lingnan should be temporarily handed over to another general, and he will come to Panyu to take charge......"

"Another general?"

Ziying knew that in addition to Ren Huan, Heifu also had three generals, namely Yin Tong in Yuzhang, Xin Yi in Wuchang, and ...... in Guilin

"100,000 urgent, it must be the nearest general."

Heifu made a decision: "Without further ado, in this case, I can only immediately inform Zhao Tuo, the chief of Zuo Shu and the lieutenant of Guilin, who is in Guilin, and let him come to Panyu!" ”

……

On the first day of the first month of the 37th year of Qin Shi Huang, after a delay of more than ten days, Heifu finally arranged the military affairs of Lingnan and went north with a small number of attachés with Ziying.

Heifu sat on the boat, seemingly closing his eyes and recuperating, but in fact, he was repeatedly checking whether his "back hand" was safe enough.

"I deliberately let Xu Fu and Wei Yang put Ren Huan under house arrest, so that after I go north, the command of Lingnan will have to be handed over to Zhao Tuo."

"Although I have repeatedly suppressed, but Zhao Tuo still because of the merits of the Southern Expedition, won the position of Guilin County Lieutenant, although he is my sworn brother, but once I break with the imperial court, his attitude is unpredictable, sitting on a county of troops, and the loyalty of his subordinates, will be the biggest hidden danger in Lingnan......"

Historically, that's what Zhao Tuo did, if he worked hard to make a wedding dress for Zhao Tuo in Lingnan, it would be funny.

"But the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, Zhao Tuo's foundation was in Guilin, where he stayed for four years, once he left his lair and came to Panyu, the soldiers did not know the generals, they would not know the soldiers, and they would be overtaken by my cronies who left here, and his orders would not be able to leave Panyu City at all!"

"And Gongao was ordered by me to lead people from Yulin to the north, control the Guilin garrison, as well as the two traffic arteries of Rongcheng and Lingqu, plus the three passes of Nanhai County have an Anpu to watch, and the Lingnan is dangerous, all in my hands......"

Whenever Heifu does something, he thinks before he advances, and thinks about retreating.

If he finds that something is wrong, he can always run back to Lingnan, block the road, and continue to survive.

"Plan for the worst, with Wei Yang controlling the boat master, Lao Tzu can go into exile overseas at worst and go to Hainan Lingao ......"

The retreat had already been arranged, but after thinking about this trip to the north, Heifu felt that he still had to go.

For the sake of their relatives who do not know their safety, and for the families of the officers and soldiers of the three armed forces.

Heifu raised his head, Qin Shi Huangdi, like the sun hanging above everyone's heads, the sun has not set, the stars are difficult to appear, as long as he is still in the day, no matter how to escape, he can't avoid the scorching direct ray......

Anyway, it's a long way to go north, Changsha has Xiao Tao, Xiao He, Yuzhang Lixian and many old departments, once he notices that something is wrong, he can turn back at any time!

But at the beginning of January, when they arrived at Huangxi Pass, it was a night rest, and there was unexpected news from afar, which disrupted Heifu's arrangement!

……

The person who risked his life to deliver the news was Heifu's cousin, the biggest businessman in Nanjun, Tangyan, who was dressed in brown clothes and had a chapped mouth, and he rode a horse all the way to Huangxi Pass!

Every word he said shocked Heifu's heart!

"The Ink Artist failed to assassinate the Emperor? The whole city? ”

"Fusu has a weak heart, and he took his party and his family, as well as my wife and son, and wanted to enter Bashu and go south, but after being caught up, his life and death are unknown?"

"Meng Tian was imprisoned, Mao Jiao died, the emperor made a big fanfare, and drove out of Xianyang? There are 100,000 soldiers with them? ”

"My home in Nanjun has been surrounded by people sent by the Marquis of Changwu, my mother and my brother, you can't take half a step out of the door?"

As a businessman, although Tang Yan is well-informed, he is completely ignorant of the details related to the secrets of the royal family, and most of them are hearsay.

But every time he listened to a paragraph, Heifu's heart cooled by three points.

These things suddenly broke out in a short period of time, which really caught people off guard.

Heifu asked everyone to step back, and in the face of such drastic changes in the DPRK and China, even if it was him, he needed to be calm and calm before he could think about countermeasures.

"The uneasiness is right, this summons is indeed a lot of bad luck and a little ......"

"What did Fusu do to turn the tide in just a few days?"

"That letter I wrote to him was also found? The pot is all thrown on my head? ”

Heifu clutched his cheeks, only feeling a toothache.

Thinking about it now, the dead Qin is black? That's black, a pot is more black than a pot!

And the asymmetry of the message makes people even more suspicious.

Looking at the crooked crescent moon obscured by dark clouds in the night sky, a terrifying idea came to him, a worst and worst possibility!

He slammed the wall tiles, his eyes like torches!

"Or, Qin Shi Huang, in fact, has passed away!?"

"And Zhao Gao and Hu Hai tampered with the emperor's edict and forced Fusu to run?"

"Now I'm going north to see me, all this is just a trick by Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai to trick me into going to Yicheng to capture and kill!?"

In history, weren't Fusu and Meng Tian killed by this trick? Heh, and now it's the same trick again?

Heifu sneered:

"Routine, I'm not fooled!"
