Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

This is also the reason why Gao Yao did not dare to use or expose the existence of black gunpowder easily. Gao Yao did not intend to expose it easily, but to hide it as much as possible. From the current point of view, everything is normal now.

Judging from the assassination attempt on himself, the other party should not have discovered my secret plan. Otherwise, if he had used black gunpowder directly, even if Gao Yao had amazing martial arts skills, he would have died.

"Oh, Xiao He, we're on the same road. Erniu, go get the person for me."

"Here"

As Gao Yao's voice fell, Erniu just got up from the ground with a dusty face. Looking at this scene, Gao Yao also had a helpless look on his face. Erniu was a fool. He would not frown even when facing swords and guns, and he was not afraid of wild beasts, but he was afraid of the explosion. He was very brave when lighting the fire, but he could not stand the fear after the explosion.

At this moment, Gao Yao took Xiao He back to the village without any reservation and sat down at a random table. Not long after, someone quickly brought tea. At this moment, Xiao He finally calmed down slowly. From the explosion until now when he drank the hot tea, he gradually came back to his senses. At the same time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"My Lord, you have kept me in the dark for so long! However, you are definitely the calmest person I have ever met."

At this moment, Xiao He finally said this with great emotion. With such a powerful weapon, he was still able to remain calm and act in an orderly manner according to the plan. Even Xiao He himself could not detect the slightest abnormality. This really made Xiao He sincerely admire him.

"Haha, what's so surprising about this? Everything has its pros and cons. Do you really think that we can defeat the Qin Dynasty with our current strength?" Facing Xiao He's exclamation, Gao Yao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and responded lightly.

"This……"

"You still have to hide your strength within."

"My lord is wise, Xiao He admires you very much, but my lord, you just said you want to introduce someone to me, I wonder..."

"Hey, someone's coming"

While Xiao He was asking, Erniu had already brought a man over. The man was shirtless, with his trouser legs rolled up above the knees. He looked like a dark-skinned man about thirty years old, with strong muscles and bronze skin. He looked like an iron tower.

"I will go to the east to join my lord."

"Haha, that's enough, no need to be polite, this is Mr. Xiao He"

"Master Xiao He, I am Yudong. I have heard of your name for a long time. It is my great honor to meet you today."

"General, why do you have to do this? We are all serving the Lord. Xiao He should not do this. Lord, this is..."

After hearing what Yu Dong said, Xiao He was a little scared. After all, if Gao Yao was a little petty and said that he admired him so much, he would be in trouble.

"Haha, it's okay. Yu Dong is a talent I spent a lot of effort to recruit. Now he is serving as the commander of the navy under my command."

"Navy? Commander-in-chief?"

Xiao He was also stunned when he heard these two words. To be honest, he could understand the navy, but he really couldn't understand what the governor meant.

"That's right. Didn't I tell you before that he is the one who will be in charge of preparing the navy? Don't underestimate this guy. He is very capable both on land and underwater. Most importantly, he is eager to learn and has always regarded you as his goal. I want to learn from you and become your disciple."

"Lord, this..."

"Why, you don't want to receive it? Can't you just give me some face?"

Listening to Gao Yao's words, Xiao He still had an embarrassment on his face. He was naturally happy that Gao Yao trusted him, but he really couldn't accept this disciple.

"My lord, let's put it this way. No matter what questions General Yudong has, you can ask me at any time. I will tell you everything I know. But please take back your decision to become my disciple."

"Well... well, that's fine, Yu Dong, you heard it, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied, thank you very much, my lord, thank you very much, my lord"

"Okay, let's get down to business."

"Here"

After hearing Gao Yao's instructions, Yu Dong immediately straightened his face and began to talk about the construction of the southern navy.

"Five tower ships, seven five-tooth ships, and thirty Mengchong ships have been built, as well as fifty other auxiliary ships of various types. The total number of naval forces is 15,000."

"what?"

When Xiao He heard the data Yu Dong said, he couldn't help but gasp. Xiao He knew that Gao was building ships and had used a lot of manpower and money, but Xiao He never thought that in just two years, so many ships were built, and even an additional 15,000 naval forces were brought in.

At this time, Xiao He was shocked, but also felt lucky that he had rejected Yu Dong's request to become his disciple. For Xiao He, the real reason for the rejection was that he already had enough strength.

Ninety percent of the government affairs in the entire southern region had to pass through his hands, and then he would select the government affairs that needed to be submitted to Gao Yao and those that did not need to be submitted to Gao Yao. This also included the appointment and dismissal and assessment of most officials, which were all in Xiao He's hands.

As for Yu Dong, it doesn't matter whether he is a navy or not. What matters is that as long as he has military power, Xiao He cannot get too close to him. Gao wants to trust him, but Xiao He cannot be arrogant and really get involved in these things. This is a matter of rules and cannot be overstepped.

Especially after hearing that the navy had become so powerful, Xiao He was even more thankful for his rationality and for not making the wrong choice. Otherwise, if he really agreed to this matter, the follow-up would only be more troublesome.

"With our army's current speed, we can land in Kuaiji at any time within ten days and launch a surprise attack on Kuaiji."

"Ok?"

Gao Yao glared at Yu Dong after hearing this. Yu Dong also realized that he had said the wrong thing and laughed awkwardly. Xiao He, who was watching this, also understood that this was definitely not a joke.

Xiao He also made some calculations. As for Minzhong, Kuaiji, Dongjun and the coastal line, theoretically, as long as the navy was strong enough and combined with a land attack, it would take less than three months to capture these three counties. Coupled with the hidden special weapon, black gunpowder, Xiao He now felt that the answer to Gao Yao's previous question about whether he was a match for the Qin Dynasty had to change!
