"The First Emperor shot the merman?" Han Lie didn't have much interest in the legends that Zheng Xuan said, but he was interested in the fact that the First Emperor had shot a merman.

"This should be true, the former Fang Shi Xu Fu, on the order of the First Emperor, took away five hundred boys and girls, not to mention, but also took away all the wealth of the Qi royal family at that time, went out of the East China Sea, went to the overseas Three Immortal Islands, and asked for the elixir of life for the First Emperor, but he never returned, and the First Emperor under the anger led an army of 100,000 to go to sea to find Xu Fu, and his footprints traveled all over the East China Sea, and the army hunted and killed tens of thousands of krakens along the way, and the killing and cruelty caused by it is said to have dyed the East China Sea red."

"According to historical records, the First Emperor went out to the East China Sea this time, and killed too much, resulting in offending the immortals of the three islands, being cast by the immortals, and then suddenly dying on the way back to Xianyang, and no one has been able to set foot on the three immortal islands in the East China Sea since then." Zheng Xuan said these words, but his expression was solemn, obviously treating these rumors and wild histories as an epic.

However, in this era, the theory of myths and ghosts is in vogue, so even a master of scripture like Zheng Xuan is convinced of this, and he does not think that these are legends or ghosts.

"In this way, with a strong bow and a crossbow, it is not difficult to shoot a merman." Han Lie said with some emotion.

"No, although the merman is half-human and half-demon, it is said that it is a gatekeeper dog raised by the immortals, and it must not be desecrated and killed, which will cause the roar of the sea and cause disaster." Hearing that Han Lie actually wanted to shoot the merman, Zheng Xuan couldn't help but say in a hurry.

"Ugh." Han Lie didn't expect Zheng Xuan's reaction to be so big, and he was stunned, so he had to smile and say, "Mr. misunderstood, there are few traces of sharks, so I said that I have this heart, but I have to find them." ”

"Ziyang, the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, you are a person with great wisdom, don't do things against the sky, although the merman is surrounded by shark beads, but those are ill-gotten gains, is it the way for a gentleman?" Regarding Han Lie's answer, Zheng Xuan was half-convinced, but still admonished.

"Sir's teachings, a certain should be followed." Han Lie smiled slightly, and after having breakfast with Zheng Xuan, he led his pro-soldier Sima Xu Sheng and led Yishi's pro-soldier directly to the barracks.

The officers and men of the fifth battalion of the Red Flame Army, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and others, resumed training that had been interrupted for many days, and when Han Lie arrived at the camp, the sergeants of each battalion had just finished their cross-country long-distance run.

The daily weight-bearing cross-country long-distance running is a necessary training subject formulated by Han Lie, and the soldiers under his account carry a weight of 30 catties a day to run five miles, which is already accustomed to the volunteer sergeants in the Zhending period.

At first, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and others were quite puzzled by Han Lie's cross-country weight-bearing long-distance running training, thinking that it was completely a futile physical exercise, but after regular long-term training, they all found that after a simple long-distance running exercise, the soldiers' bodies were generally enhanced, and their willpower was also greatly improved, especially in short-term explosive power, which was several times higher than ordinary people.

"My lord, the Red Flame Army soldiers are finishing their long run and are lining up, please review." Seeing Han Lie coming, Xu Huang in front of the queue hurriedly shouted.

Han Lie, who was riding a horse in front of the military formation, swept his eyes over the familiar and resolute faces, and nodded with satisfaction: "You haven't participated in training for many days, but you can still maintain your peak military appearance, you are worthy of being the Red Flame Army, and you are worthy of the title of a strong soldier." ”

"Loyal to the Han, loyal to the people, the red flame is longing, never die!" As Han Lie's words fell, the soldiers of the whole army burst out with the slogan of the Red Flame Army with solemn expressions, and a murderous aura rose to the sky.

Han Lie, who felt this high fighting spirit, could not calm down for a long time under the ups and downs of his heart. At this moment, Han Lie realized that the bloody battlefield was the battlefield he was really looking forward to in his heart.

When this surging morale fell, Han Lie raised his voice again: "The whole army listens to the order and disbands for dinner." ”

"Wow! Ooh! Ooh! The whole army once again erupted in unison, and the officers and men of the battalions dispersed in line.

The main big tent, when Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Dian Wei, and Xu Rong were eating bean and rice porridge and biting the dough cake, Han Lie said slowly: "There is one thing, I want to discuss it with you, and you can give me an idea together." ”

"The lord commands that." Dian Wei said with a big grin.

"What is the difficult matter for the lord to decide?" Xu Huang took a bite of the dough cake and said, the white flour cake in the army at the moment, after Han Lie's proposal, has also been improved, adding salt and some minced meat and vegetables to make the filling, and then steaming in the basket, the taste has a bit of the taste of the buns in the later generations, and it tastes soft and delicious, which is very popular with the soldiers.

Han Lie waved his hand and said, "Talk while eating." At the moment we are short of money, and we are very short of money, but we can't steal and rob, because I stayed up all night after the meeting last night. ”

"Today, Mr. Kang Cheng said that there are shark beads on the shark people in the East China Sea, and each one is worth a fortune, and I am now knowing where the shark people live, so I intend to hunt and seize the shark beads in exchange for money to solve the urgent need."

"However, Mr. Kang Cheng said that killing sharks is ominous, easy to cause disasters, and the vast sea is also risky, so I will convene you to discuss countermeasures."

"Lord, my old pawn has rough skin and thick meat, and his fate is very mile, let me do this, I will definitely kill the merman and retrieve the shark pearl for the lord." Dian Wei didn't think about it at all, so he asked for battle in a deep voice.

"The lord is a daughter, don't take risks easily, Mr. Kang Cheng is a master of scriptures, since he said it is ominous, there must be some basis, but since this shark pearl is so valuable, we can't let it go, I think this matter will be done by me and Lao Dian, it will be foolproof." Xu Huang also took the matter of killing the shark on his body.

"In the past, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, holding the Chixiao Sword, cut the python Jiao against the tyranny of Qin and won the world, at first, some people thought that this was a bad omen, but as a result, Emperor Gaozu was determined to be the son of the Red Emperor by Xiangshi Bu Hexagram because of this matter, so that the people were attached, and then got the world." Xu Rong's allusion is not a legend, but a fact of the founding of the Han Dynasty, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

Xu Rong, who paused, continued: "Although it is not the era of tyrannical Qin rule now, the chaos in the world has become a foregone conclusion. ”

"What Uncle Xu said is very good." Han Lie nodded approvingly: "Gongming Zilong, the two of you immediately dispatch three hundred warriors who are proficient in water and flash, and you two will set off with you tomorrow." ”

"No." Xu Huang replied in a deep voice.

"Uncle Xu, you immediately go and prepare some rafts for crossing the sea." Han Lie then ordered Xu Rong again.

"Whoa." Xu Rong got up and walked out.

"Brother Dian, you are not good at water, stay and stick to the city this time, if I really have any accidents this time, you will take your brothers to Yanzhou to join Cao Mengde." When Dian Wei was the only one left in the big tent, Han Lie got up and walked to Dian Wei's side, stretched out his hand to support Dian Wei's arm, and solemnly entrusted.

"Big brother, don't say anything, just remember my words." Without waiting for Dian Wei to speak, Han Lie opened his mouth to stop Dian Wei's words, reached out and punched him, and then turned away with a smile.

"Ziyang, I'll wait for you to come back." Looking at Han Lie's departing back, Dian Wei shouted loudly.
