Yeonwoo's disappearance did not attract the attention of others excessively, and Zhao Jie used a lie to hide the matter. After quietly dealing with the internal traitors in the team, Zhao Jie and his party continued to move forward, stepped out of Yiguan, entered the territory of Wei, and arrived at Yicheng, a famous city of Wei. Zhao Yin had already arranged a place to stay and rest in the city.

"Did you find the person I asked you to find?" In the inn, seeing that there was only one Zhao Yin left beside him, Zhao Jie took the opportunity to ask.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I am absolutely reliable." Zhao Yin boasted and said: "The person I chose is very similar to His Highness, and he is also extremely reliable, if it is not for people close to His Highness, he will definitely not be able to see the flaw."

"That's good, according to the agreement, according to the plan!" Zhao Jie said lightly. Zhao Yin should make a promise, so an hour later, Zhao Yin left with his cronies and temporarily separated in Yicheng.

On the second day, Zhao Jie and his entourage met the envoy of Qin who had been waiting for a long time in the Qin embassy in Yicheng, and after some complicated etiquette, the people of Qin and Zhao were temporarily at peace.

"Mr. Emissary, let's go!" Different from the sorrowful face of Qin State's proton Zi Chu, Zhao Jie said to the Qin State envoy calmly. So accompanied by the envoys of the Qin State and escorted by the soldiers of the Qin State, Zhao Jie, three maids, and seven guards bid farewell to everyone and continued on the road to the Yellow River.

The Yellow River, China's "mother river", is one of the most important birthplaces of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, the Yellow River has had a great influence on the Chinese civilization along the river basin. Before the Qin and Han dynasties, "Yellow River" was not the name of the Yellow River, and due to people's limited knowledge, people generally used the word "river" to refer to the wide rivers, while the smaller rivers were called "Chuan" or "water". "Yi Zhou Poems" contains "The clear of the river, the geometry of life!" ”； "Erya Shishui" contains "The river comes out of Kunlun, the color is white, and the canal is 1,701 rivers, and the color is yellow." ”

In ancient times, the ancestors successively produced mulberry in the Yellow River Basin, combined with life. Many years later, a number of blood-related clans and tribes were formed in the Yellow River Valley, where the three major tribes of Yandi, Huangdi and Chiyou competed for their sphere of influence, and the Yellow Emperor eventually achieved the status of the leader of the alliance and merged with other tribes to form the "Huaxia Clan". Then many years later, the first country appeared on the land of China - the Xia Dynasty, starting from the Xia Dynasty, countless prosperous dynasties chose to build their capitals in the Yellow River Valley. It can be said that for a long period of time, the political, economic and cultural center of China has been in the Yellow River Valley.

The Qin State was a powerful state, and repeatedly attacked the Wei State, seized its people, and occupied its land, so the Wei State had already suffered from a mental disease called "Qin-phobia", and did not dare to offend the Qiang Qin at all. So Zhao Jie and his entourage arrived at the bank of the Yellow River without hindrance.

On the Yellow River rests a huge wooden warship dedicated to water warfare, which looks unusually sturdy and majestic. Around him were hundreds of other ships of different types, or fast light boats or flat boats; Or for short-distance transport, or for tankers to transport grain. Historical Records? Zhang Yi Biography contains, Zhang Yi said that King Huai of Chu: "There is a big ship of Bashu in the west of Qin, Jisu starts in Wenshan, below the floating river, to Chu more than 3,000 li, the boat carries the pawn, a boat carries 50 people and the food of March, goes into the water and floats, travels more than 300 miles a day, although the mileage is many, but it does not take the effort of cattle and horses, and it is not ten days away from the pass (the pass is in the west boundary of Chu). "Many people in later generations may never have imagined that China's ancestors were so clever and had learned how to build all kinds of ships with different uses in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

In fact, what is even more amazing is probably not these, in fact, people at this time are already able to sail across the sea. For example, the State of Qi, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the State of Qi had mastered the right of navigation along the coast of Shandong, the sea ships had been quite reliable and comfortable, the coastal navigation was quite active, and the boats came and went, and they were accustomed to it, and for example, the State of Wu and the State of Yue, the State of Wu and the State of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period already had a naval division, and the naval divisions of the State of Wu and the State of Yue had quite complete troops, formations, etc., which fully reflected the strength of their navigation.

The most unbelievable thing is that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people had already launched cross-sea voyages and ocean exploration. The Yue people were already able to cross the Taiwan Strait in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the historical records recorded: "Yizhou is in the east of Linhai...... The mountain has the king's shot of the white, and the stone is also. (King Yue's shooting stone is a symbol of King Yue's rule), which shows that the people can already sail across the ocean; At the same time, King Qi Wei, King Qi Xuan, and King Yan Zhao sent fleets to the sea many times, in order to find the "Three Divine Mountains" at sea to live forever, which shows that people at that time had the conditions to carry out ocean voyages; At that time, people had already traveled to the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago. So the Japanese island was discovered by the Chinese, and it should be Chinese, not to mention the Diaoyu Islands.

Many people in later generations may not know that the Qin State in the West is actually quite good at boating. The Yellow River, the Wei River and other rivers are abundant, and the wide and turbulent rivers have given the Qin State a rich water system, so the successive Qin kings have attached great importance to the development of boats, hoping to use the rivers to save the transportation of people and speed up the deployment of troops. For example, in the era of King Huiwen of Qin, when Sima of Qin attacked Chu by mistake, he used "10,000 large ships" to transport "100,000 Bashu people" and "6 million rice hu".

It is said that after escorting Zhao Jie on the ship, the envoy of Qin State ordered Qin's warships to move against the current to Qin after some preparations. Because of Zhao Jie's proton identity, Zhao Jie was placed under house arrest in disguise. "Gross!" Zhao Jie spit out the food he had just eaten again, and it was obvious that Zhao Jie was seasick. Although the boat had only sailed for a day, Zhao Jie didn't know how many times he had vomited.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Yeonjing asked with concern, "Do you want me to go to the envoy and let him temporarily stay on the shore to recuperate for a while." ”

"There you go! I want to ask those Qin people, have they always treated guests like this? Zhao Jie frowned and said word by word: "You go quickly, then the envoy of the Qin State called over!" ”

Yeon's head bowed, then walked out of the cabin and went in search of the messenger. Looking at Yanjing's back, Zhao Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and stretched his brows. Although he vomited very badly, he still felt very lucky, very glad that this seasickness came at a good time, because it gave Zhao Jie an excuse to leave the cabin.

"The envoy of the State of Qin asks to see His Royal Highness the Proton of the State of Zhao." Not long after, the sound of Qin's envoys asking to see him came from outside the cabin.
