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

At this point, returning to Kuaiji has obviously become a luxury. Because the current situation is no longer the same as before, most of the other places have been occupied by other kings or rebel forces. If the Chu army rashly conflicts with them at this time, it will undoubtedly bring many adverse effects to itself. After careful consideration, Fan Zeng believes that Longxi and the north may be the direction that is more suitable for the development of the Chu army.

It belongs to the Great Qin, but now it is basically in a state of not even having soldiers. The most important thing is the geographical advantage. After taking it, there is no need to worry about possible conflicts with other princes in the short term. It can have time to stabilize the morale of the army and develop power accordingly. It is the best choice now.

At the same time, in Gao Yao's residence in the southern border, Gao Yao was planning the next step of development and construction.

(Ding, change history, reward the Imperial Seal)

As the clear, melodious and penetrating system prompt sounded, Gao Yao, who was sitting in the study, could not help but shudder. He slowly lowered his head and his eyes fell on his hands. At this moment, he was holding a heavy jade seal that exuded a mysterious aura steadily in his palms.

Gao Yao was stunned, staring at the jade seal in his hand in disbelief. He carefully lifted it up slightly, and finally saw the eight characters clearly engraved below: "Received the mandate from heaven, long life and prosperity". Especially when he noticed a small piece missing from the jade seal, he was even more certain in his heart: the thing in front of him was the real jade seal in the legend!

Gao Yao frowned and fell into deep thought. He tried to recall the things he had experienced recently, but he couldn't remember what he had done to get such a precious treasure. Could it be... because of some events related to him? After thinking about it, the most likely thing to cause this situation recently was the earth-shaking event that happened in Xianyang.

If this is true, then Xianyang has probably been successfully conquered by the coalition forces of the princes at this moment, right? The nominal Great Qin Empire is very likely to have perished! However, for Gao Yao, this is not a bad thing. After all, once Xianyang falls, the whole world will only be left with the princes who rule on their own. Those who have the Great Qin in their hearts may only choose to turn against them at this time and flee to the southern territory to seek self-protection.

Originally, the most criticized thing about Prince Gao was that there were many controversies and doubts about his identity. However, today, the situation has changed dramatically. Now, no matter how valuable this King of Qin is, even if he is just stained with the word "Qin", it is enough. In this way, it will attract many people who have the Great Qin in their hearts to come and join. And this will undoubtedly greatly enhance Gao Yao's own foundation and strength.

Gao Yao was fully confident that anyone who joined his army would soon be convinced and follow his lead. Of course, if he really encountered someone who was stubborn and determined to protect Master Gao, Gao Yao would not be merciful. He always valued the interests of the majority, and the life and death of a few people and their character were not within his consideration.

At this moment, just as Gao Yao was secretly calculating, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from the door, and then saw a personal soldier rushing up to him, kneeling on one knee, clasping his hands and reporting loudly: "My lord, Lord Xiao He is back and has entered the city!"

Hearing this, Gao Yao, who was sitting firmly in his chair, jumped up instantly as if struck by a sudden lightning. His face, which was originally calm, was now as if a fire was ignited, and he could not help showing an extremely excited look. He was so excited that his hands were shaking slightly, and he shouted loudly: "Okay, okay! Hurry up, get ready to meet Xiao He immediately!"

Seeing this, the guard standing by dared not be negligent. He quickly responded, "Yes!" Then, like an arrow from a bow, he turned around and ran out of the door, and began to make arrangements for the reception of Xiao He.

At the same time, Gao Yao immediately sent someone to summon Yu Shu and Lu Su. The two women were busy in their respective rooms, and were suddenly called away. Naturally, they were full of doubts. When they hurried to where Gao Yao was, they first bowed to Gao Yao and called him in unison: "Husband."

Gao Yao looked at the two people in front of him, nodded with a smile, and then said, "Hurry up and get ready. I plan to hold a family dinner in our mansion, and Xiao He will come to the dinner later. Be sure to prepare well and don't be careless, understand?"

"Yes." After hearing Gao Yao's order, Yu Shu and Lu Su looked at each other, and then did not dare to delay and hurriedly answered. Then, they turned around and left in a hurry, and began to prepare all the items and dishes needed for the family banquet.

Gao Yao himself quickly tidied up his clothes, dressed neatly, and went to the gate of the mansion to wait for Xiao He's arrival. From the scene, Xiao He seemed to be of little use in this battle, but in fact, his use was very important. If the final battle did not happen in advance, then Xiao He's move to cut off food and grass would be the most ruthless blow, making the court army no longer able to launch a war.

Therefore, Xiao He's contribution should not be underestimated. Moreover, Xiao He's action of cutting off food supplies indirectly caused many of the retreating imperial troops to have trouble getting enough food. At this time, surrender became an option for these soldiers. Nearly 30,000 imperial soldiers defected to the southern border again. These are invisible contributions, but Gao Yao will never forget them.

Gao Yao slowly walked to the door of the mansion, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, his eyes were calm and deep, quietly waiting for something. At this time, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from a distance, and Xiao He and Duo Si were seen galloping towards Gao Yao at full speed.

They saw Gao Yao's familiar figure standing at the gate of the mansion from a distance, so they quickly tightened the reins to slow down the horses. When they were still dozens of steps away from Gao Yao, Xiao He and Duo Si almost dismounted at the same time, and then walked quickly towards Gao Yao.

"My Lord! My Lord..." Before he even got close, Xiao He couldn't wait to shout loudly. Duo Si, who was standing beside him, followed closely behind him, her face full of awe. When the two finally arrived at the door of the mansion, they immediately bowed and saluted with an extremely respectful attitude.

Gao Yao smiled when he saw this, and hurried forward, stretched out his hands to personally help Xiao He and Duo Si up one by one, and said kindly: "Okay, okay, you have worked hard all the way, please get up quickly."
