On the afternoon of the day when the clipper boat sailed 30 nautical miles away from Zhifu and circled south along the coastline, three small boats towed two 10-meter-long whales and a large net of fish and shrimp back to Yantai.

During this period, Xiang Liyue's aunt and nephew only dared to stand on the side of the boat, eager to watch the fishermen chase the big fish, but they did not dare to follow Zhao Zihu to put down the boat and go for a swim.

The two of them turned out to be a pair of proper landlubbers, which made Zhao Zihu feel a little surprised, but he didn't deliberately make fun of it, but said to Xiang Liyue: "When I return to Xianyang, I will teach you well in Lanchi." ”

Xiang Liyue was silent, just smiled and nodded, and her heart was sweet. Although she is older, she still has the mentality of a young daughter, and she also needs to be cared for.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, that is, at about sixteen o'clock in the afternoon, the ship circled to the vicinity of Canghai County, and a strong wind blew in the sea and sky, and soon the torrential rain poured down.

"Quick! Drop the sails and turn the rudder. Slowly stop at the waterway between the two mountains in front of you......"

Zhao Zihu really ordered repeatedly, and with the cooperation of all the boatmen, the clipper boat swayed, but it was moored at a location equivalent to the mouth of Lianyungang City today.

He let his aunt and nephew and most of the crew go into the cabin to take shelter from the rain, leaving only the group of three, wearing a special raincoat made of whale skin, to guard the deck with him.

The sea was unpredictable, and the four people walking back and forth on the deck looked at the dark sky that almost crushed everything from time to time, and they silently didn't say much.

Suddenly, the fisherman who belonged to Zhifu was sharp-eyed, and pointed at the undulating sea not far away: "Look! Childe, there seems to be a ...... there."

Zhao Zihu and the others moved, and hurriedly raised their heads to look at the past, but the thunder and wind were violent, and the sky flickered brightly and darkly, and they couldn't see clearly for a while.

Believing that his companion would not be untargeted, Zhao Zihu strode to the side of the boat, leaned on the railing and took a closer look, and after a while, he saw that there was indeed a person in the sea.

The man was already soaked, and he couldn't see his face clearly, so he only clung to a broken plank, tossed up and down with the waves, knocked it into the sea several times, and then floated up with the plank, and then coughed and vomited wildly.

"This man ......"

"To save or not to save?"

"Listen to Childe!"

The first three of them whispered.

"Can it be saved?" Zhao Zihu turned sideways and asked, he judged that he could be saved, but he couldn't be guilty of risking a stranger.

The two sharps looked at each other, but the fisherman said firmly: "Childe! A certain can be saved, but a net is needed, and the dinghy that is put down must be tightly tied to a rope. ”

"Can you keep yourself safe?" Zhao Zihu asked with a serious face.

The fisherman replied without hesitation: "Yes!" In the storm that was even bigger than this before, a certain man from the same sect also rescued. ”

"Done! Just do what you can. Zhao Zihu nodded approvingly, and at the same time noticed that the middle finger and ring finger of the fisherman's left hand had actually been poked off at some point.

He immediately summoned a few more people and asked them to cooperate with each other in the rescue operation.

The fisherman and a net landed on a dinghy with a thick rope tied to the back of the buttocks, and were quickly lowered.

He paddled and staggered towards the man in the waves, not knowing how......

The visibility in the storm was extremely low, and Zhao Zihu only felt that there seemed to be a moment when the fishing net was thrown high from the boat.

The thick rope beside him that connected to the dinghy was quickly tightened little by little, and the rest of the boatmen were also busy pulling the thick rope at this end.

…… Bang bang bang!

By the time the dinghy was pulled up to deck with the muffled sound of hitting the side of the boat, not only was the man in the net unconscious and lying on his stomach like a dead dog, but the fisherman was also exhausted and collapsed to the ground, panting for breath.

"Quick! Carry it in and pour wild ginger soup ......"

Zhao Zihu said, but he stretched out his hand for the first time and put the fisherman on his shoulder: "Good job!" Brother, buddy kudos to you! ”

The heartfelt words made the fisherman's heart warm suddenly, and he grinned with difficulty and smiled: "Eh! Xie, Xie Gongzi ......"

"I'll have a good rest later. I'll take a big credit for you! ”

In Daqin, there is nothing more joyful than military exploits.

After entering the cabin, Xiang Liyue immediately brought hot ginger soup, and she had already gone to boil ginger soup herself when she saw Zhao Zihu and others put the boat down into the sea.

In this regard, the two are quite similar.

After two quarters of an hour's effort, the ginger soup had been boiled to a rich and choking nose, and some people in the cabin couldn't help but sneeze several times.

Xiang Liyue was the two who had to be taken care of, so she filled two large bowls, and handed out a small bowl to Zhao Zihu: "Let's drink some too." ”

Zhao Zihu took the ginger soup, smiled, and after raising his head and drinking it all, his eyes fell on the person who was scooped up.

Looking at the coarse cloth towel on the other party's head and the linen costume, he faintly guessed in his heart that this would not be a Yue person.

Yue Ren Shi Lu didn't wake up until noon on the second day, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he vomited desperately by the bedside, but all he vomited was sour water.

After he vomited clean, he unexpectedly felt that his stomach was warm, and when he looked up, he found that Zhao Zihu appeared at the door.

Shi Lu blinked at the moment and asked, "Where is this?" Who are you? ”

Zhao Zihu's wide body was squeezed into the door on his side, and he heard it at the same time, this Yue people used a local dialect similar to the Min language in southern Zhejiang.

In his previous life, he was considered well-informed, but at this time, he just sounded like it, and he didn't say it.

After all, there is a world of difference between ancient and modern languages.

Zhao Zihu looked at Xiang Liyue's aunt and nephew behind him, as well as several other boatmen......

It's a pity that everyone is shaking their heads.

In desperation, he tried: "Can you communicate in the official dialect of Daqin?" ”

"Huh? Qin, Qin people. Shi Lu was slightly surprised, and then even more stunned.

What Zhao Zihu saw from the eyes of this Yue people was not only shock, but also a hint of joy.

That's interesting......

"Yue'er! I'll talk to him alone. He immediately made the decision to let the rest of the people step back first.

Subsequently, Zhao Zihu simply revealed his identity: "I am the son of Daqin!" You are the ...... on the ship of the Great Qin Sea."

"What's your name? Where did it come from? He casually sat across from the Yue people, completely unconcerned about the filthy things on the ground.

"Great Qin Gongzi? Great Qin Sea Ship? ”

Shi Lu's Great Qin official said so badly, and he couldn't believe it, what he heard made people sound a little big tongue.

After a while, he revealed his identity: "We are Minglu!" It was a well digger who traveled to and from all over Baiyue, and this time he was surveying the water vein, and he lost his footing......"

"Wait! What's your name? Zhao Zihu was even more shocked, "Lu"? He doubted that it could be that the pioneer of the Lingqu was in front of him, Shi Lu.

Good at hydrology, that's right!

"Our name! He was originally a Yue person who lived in Chudi. Why is Childe laughing? Shi Lu was a little afraid, he suddenly felt like a piece of fat that had been sent to the tiger's mouth.

I can't help but be unhappy with Zhao Zihu! He felt that his luck was too against the sky, so he planned to explore the reality of Baiyue, and he found such a big bull who was familiar with Baiyue.

According to historical records, Shi Lu should have been in Xianyang as a prison at this time, and then he was specially transferred by his own Laozi to become one of the two leaders of the southern expedition to Baiyue......

How could he be here?

However, who can say for sure.

There are very few records of Shi Lu in the history books, and it is not surprising that there are errors.

Zhao Zihu stood up with a smile: "Come on, come on!" Let's go out for a walk, breathe some air, and get you some food. Then ......"

"You come and tell me, why do you seem to be quite happy when you hear that I am a Qin person, or even a great Qin prince?"

As he spoke, he also came to support Shi Lu to show his friendliness.

But Zhao Zihu's enthusiasm made Shi Lu more and more afraid.

Shi Lu waved his hand again and again, gritted his teeth and sat up by himself: "No, no, no!" Childe, you don't have to be like this. Let's talk, let's talk about ......"

"We just said that. We were in Chu to help people dig wells before! Originally, life was very good, but I am afraid that in a few years, I will be able to marry a daughter-in-law......"

As a result, as soon as General Wang came, he scattered the Chu State in one fell swoop. We wanted to take the opportunity to surrender and have a peaceful birthday! I didn't think ......"

"Many people in the Chu State were unwilling to surrender, so they drove us out and brought them back to the barren mountains and old forests of Baiyue to hide. said that he was going to fight hard with you Daqin to the end! ”

The two slowly walked out of the small cabin, and listening to Shi Lu's words, Zhao Zihu was indeed surprised: "Oh? In other words, you have been looking for an opportunity to run to our Daqin. Really? ”

"At first glance there may be a fake! Who would be used to living in peace and willing to hide in Tibet all day. "Shi Lu is categorical.

In fact, relying on the name of Shi Lu alone, Zhao Zihu believes in the other party's position very much.

He led the crew into another open space in the cabin, which was the daily eating area of the crew.

Ordering someone to bring wine and food, and sitting opposite Shi Lu, he pondered: "There is no problem with you thinking of Daqin. But ......"

"You're a smart man! I think you also know that Great Qin has always intended to conquer the Baiyue tribe. This! Need your help? ”

was really tired and hungry, as soon as the wine and food came up, Shi Lu grabbed a grilled fish and gnawed on it, and took a few big sips of wine.

When Zhao Zihu stopped talking, he was still eating and drinking, and after a while, he stopped and wiped his greasy palms on his sackcloth.

He brushed his beard again and asked, "Gongzi has circled the big ship to this side, and he also wants to know what the situation of the Baiyue tribes is now. Right? ”

It was pitiful before, but this will actually start to scold Fang Xuan......

Looking at Shi Lu's unbeaten appearance, Zhao Zihu couldn't help but think of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, Fa Zheng, who dedicated the map of Sichuan, should also be this virtue.

"Yes, yes. What is your opinion? He asked rhetorically.

"Childe, do you know that this donkey is shaking, and there is nothing to do?" Shi Lu poured another sip of wine.

Zhao Zihu smiled: "If you want to talk about these two people, it's not interesting?" ”

"What? Childe knows them. ”

"These two are the fourteenth grandsons of King Goujian of Yue......"

Zhao Zihu is indeed quite aware of Fu Shao and Wuzhu, but most of the information about them comes from after the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, which is no longer possible, and when Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty.

The land of Baiyue can be roughly divided into Dongou , Minyue, Nanyue, Xiou and Luoyue......

Dongou in the south of Zhejiang Province in later generations, the leader of this tribe, he is a love of the people, a virtuous person, changed the Ou people "broken hair tattoos", to snakes, frogs, fish and clams for food, to Ouyue early economic and cultural development has made a great contribution.

According to the original historical process, when Tu Sui led the army to attack Donou, in order to protect his people from military disasters, he voted very simply, and received the false name of a county magistrate of the East China Sea.

Later, after the peasant uprising began, he led his people to oppose Qin from the princes, and helped Liu Bang to defeat the attack on Yu. In the third year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, he was named the king of the East China Sea and built the capital of Dongou City, commonly known as the "King of Dongou City".

Minyue is the later generation of Fujian and the surrounding areas, Wu Zhu is the leader of the Minyue tribe, this person's basic situation is similar to Su Shao, to say the difference, is that he is more sociable, less Su Shao's composure, so the two are very incompatible, as soon as they meet, they fight.

Later, he was also reinstated as the king of Minyue by Liu Bang because of his meritorious service to "Ping Qin Zuohan". Brother Su Shaocai was only pointed out as "Hou" by Liu Bang, but he was directly a "king", this is where this awesomeness lies.

Zhao Zihu gave a brief explanation of the situation of Su Shao and Wuzhu, especially pointing out that the two did not deal with each other, but he never thought that in exchange for Shi Lu's straight hand, he squinted and smiled.

"Not really! For the sake of Childe's kind rescue and hospitality, Lu and you will make it clear. The relationship between the tribes of the Baiyue is really complicated......"

Shi Lu paused for a moment and said, "Many tribes actually don't want to see more than two tribes linked together. What everyone wants is to go their own way......"

"If there are two families, the rest will definitely attack them! What's more, Dongou and Minyue, two territories that are already next to each other, how can they sit back and watch them merge and expand. This is a bit like the meaning of the Seven Kingdoms in the past! ”

Zhao Zihu's expression was strange at the moment: "According to what you say, the relationship between the two families is actually very good?" The feud was deliberately done for the other tribes to see. The reason is that because they are gentle people, they are not good at training, and they can't do other brutal tribes? ”

"It seems that Childe really understands these two leaders! That's right. We have also seen that the leaders of the Baiyue tribe gathered, and Su Shao wanted to send the treasure to Wuzhu, so he had to deliberately send the things to Yihu Song first. The translator called Song not happy, and the baby was handed over to Wu Zhu! You say, isn't it interesting? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zihu also smiled: "I didn't expect it!" These two brothers can be regarded as a pair of happy enemies. Speaking of which, I feel that your Shi Lu seems to have a very unusual relationship with these two leaders? In this case, I don't know if I can make a referral on my behalf? ”

Shi Lu, who was wondering "what does it mean to be happy with the enemy", heard this, and was even more stunned: "Introduction? This. Isn't Childe trying to do that 'poor dagger'? ”

"What do you want? I am a dignified son of Qin, how can I be Jing Ke and the like. I want to do business with them, sell them some candles, fine salt, and improve their lives......"
