"Come in yet!" Zhao Jie replied in an unkind tone: "Are you Qin Guo trying to torture me!" ”

Hearing this, the Qin envoy still pushed open the hatch unhurriedly, "May I ask Proton, what are your orders, but if it is reasonable, we will definitely be satisfied!" Qin Envoy said respectfully.

"I'd like to go to the bow of the boat, can I?" Zhao Jie said with deep depression: "You see that I have vomited like this now, accommodating, is it okay?" ”

"I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I can't agree, Your Highness had better stay in the cabin. Once Your Highness is in the bow of the ship, if someone attacks with a bow and arrow, we cannot be sure of your safety. Qin Envoy politely rejected Zhao Jie's request.

"Then are you going to let me stay in the cabin until Xianyang?" Zhao Jie laughed coldly, and then continued: "I think if I continue like this, I'm afraid I won't live the day I arrive." ”

"Your Highness said with a smile, there is a famous doctor of my Daqin on the ship, and he will definitely not go to the place that His Highness said." Qin Envoy said with a smile, his tone made Zhao Jie very depressed.

"Isn't it possible to negotiate and be accommodating? It's just a matter of letting Lone go to the bow of the boat. Zhao Jie continued to plead: "If you can let me out of this cabin, I will agree to anything." ”

"Your Highness is still dead to this heart! If I say no, I can't. The Qin envoy still refused to compromise.

The clay figure still has a rustic atmosphere, not to mention Zhao Jie, he pulled out the sword beside him, crossed it around his neck, and roared angrily: You put me under house arrest in this cabin, making me miserable, what do you want! Since you don't make me feel better, I won't make you feel better. You'd better think about it, if you can't bring me back to Xianyang safely, what will King Qin do to you! ”

A few drops of red blood dripped from his neck, and the Qin envoy looked at this seemingly endless situation, nodded reluctantly and said: "Since His Highness has a request, the foreign minister dares to disobey his orders, but I hope that your security on the bow of the ship will be arranged and handled by us."

"Of course!" Zhao Jie put down his sword when he heard this, and then said with a sigh: "Thank you!" “

In this way, after this incident, the envoy of the Qin State specially allowed Zhao Jie to move in the bow of the ship, and did not have to be stuffy in the cabin. However, he also put forward his request: in order to protect the safety of the proton, Zhao Jie's side must ensure that he is always accompanied by a team of Qin soldiers, about twenty people.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the wide Yellow River, a warship breaks through the calm water and is heading upriver to the west. Zhao Jie was dressed in white, standing on the bow of the boat, facing the warm wind, bathing in the sun, looking up at the universe and overlooking the world, so uncomfortable.

"Qin Envoy, you look at this vast world, what kind of person should be qualified to control it?" Zhao Jie asked meaningfully.

"The overlord makes the people afraid, afraid but not daring to rebel, if the world is not determined, then the world can be controlled; Benevolence and benevolence to all the people, the people benefit and do not want to rebel, not the world is safe, and the world can also be controlled. Love the people with benevolence, govern the people with domineering, and complement each other, then the world is like the palm of your hand. Qin Envoy said lightly what he was thinking: "This is the consensus of the people of the world!" ”。

Zhao Jie shook his head, and then said to himself: "No, what you said is definitely not the right understanding!" The world is the world of the people of the world, and the people of the world are difficult to reconcile, and it is not easy to govern the world. Fear the townspeople, but also stir up the people; Benevolence can support the people, but also will be accustomed to the people, just one fear and one benevolence, how can it be done! ”

"Yo, I don't expect Your Highness to see something different from the world, then please tell Your Highness what you think, I would like to hear it." Qin said with a slight hint of ridicule in his tone.

Zhao Jie looked at the Qin envoy, then shook his hand and said, "This idea can only be understood, not spoken, not spoken!" ”

"The truth of the world exists in all things in heaven and earth." Zhao Jie pointed to the forest on the bank of the Yellow River and said: "Everyone's experience is different, and the answers they get are also different, so you need to explore and seek by yourself!" ”

Qin Envoy looked at the forest on the shore along Zhao Jie's finger and couldn't help but nod.

In other words, how can there be forests on both sides of the Yellow River? Many people may not know that in ancient times, most of the land on both sides of the Yellow River was almost entirely occupied by deep forests. According to historical records, around the time of the Shang Dynasty, there were elephants, rhinoceroses and other large animals in the Yellow River Basin; In the Warring States period, the climate on both sides of the Yellow River was still relatively humid, suitable for the growth of various plants, so although the land on both sides of the river was developed to a certain extent, the coverage rate of its deep forests was still high.

The ship was safely carried out for a morning, but no one expected that in the afternoon, an incident occurred that was lost in the tide of history.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the afternoon, the huge warship moved smoothly on the river, everything seemed quite peaceful and quiet, and the soldiers on the warship could not help but enjoy this rare tranquility.

Suddenly, there was a scream in the distance, which startled the birds in the forest on both sides of the river, and also alarmed the people who enjoyed the peace on the warship. "You're going to the mast and see what's going on!" The Qin envoy ordered the guards beside him.

After a while, the soldiers hurriedly ran to the Qin envoy and reported: "My lord, there is a grain ship ahead that is out of control and is attacking us at a very fast speed. The bow of the boat is no longer safe, so please take shelter in the cabin for the time being. ”

"Did you send someone to invite Zhao Guo's proton?" Qin Envoy asked. The soldier nodded yes and said, "Elder Wu has already sent someone, and Elder Wu has instructed me to be responsible for protecting your lordship." ”

"Good job, after returning to China, I will definitely report to the king and let him be promoted to your official." The Qin envoy nodded and praised the soldier with satisfaction.

A loud sound rang out, and at the same time, the bow of the ship suddenly changed direction. The Qin envoy was unsteady on his feet and almost fell, but fortunately the soldiers held him up. "Captain Wu is directing the people to control the warship and avoid the incoming ship." The soldier explained.

At this moment, Zhao Jie passed by Qin Envoy and his party. "Stand firm!" Zhao Jie said in a mocking tone. As soon as he finished speaking, he continued to walk towards the cabin. At the same time, the grain ship also appeared in everyone's sight. I saw an oncoming grain ship moving at high speed, and as the soldier who reported it, the grain ship was obviously out of control. The people on the boat were shouting loudly: "My ship is out of control, get out of the way of the big ship on the other side!" ”
