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

Listening to Gao Yao's speech, Zhao Tuo remained expressionless, but in fact he was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. He had already said so much, but Gao Yao still refused to give in. It was obvious that he was not going to share any of the benefits with him.

"Sir Zhao Tuo, the journey is long, don't make a wasted trip. I have some good wine for you, come on, serve it."

"That's not necessary. Now that the matter has been reported, we still have a lot of military affairs to attend to..."

"General, isn't it time for a drink?"

"Ok?"

Seeing Gao Yao's attitude, Zhao Tuo felt somewhat dissatisfied, but thinking of Gao Yao's current status and position, as well as Ren Xiong's instructions before he left, Zhao Tuo didn't want to openly confront Gao Yao, so he gave up. Soon, a servant came to the table with wine.

"General, please"

Gao Yao personally poured wine for Zhao Tuo, which was considered as giving Zhao Tuo enough face. When Zhao Tuo smelled the aroma of wine, he was also excited. After taking it, he looked at the wine in the bowl and hesitated for a moment. Gao Yao directly drank the small amount of wine in his bowl.

Gao Yao knew very well that Zhao Tuo suspected him of playing tricks. After all, Zhao Tuo was not Ren Xiong. The price of Zhao Tuo's death would be different from Ren Xiong's. But Gao Yao was not so stupid as to really want to kill Zhao Tuo. Even if he was not in trouble, he would not be able to stay in the southern border where he had just managed the achievements. At the very least, he would be transferred away.

After watching Gao Yao drink, Zhao Tuo also revealed a smile and drank it all in one gulp. The moment the wine entered his mouth, Zhao Tuo's eyes widened. Then it went straight into his stomach along his throat like a ball of fire, as if burning in his stomach. For a moment, his whole body felt a little hot. When he savored it, he could even smell the aroma of wheat.

"Good wine, good wine!"

"Haha, as long as the general likes it, this is the fine wine that I personally spent a lot of money to brew. The humidity here is quite high, and the general has been leading troops in battles all year round, so his health is naturally not very good. I also learned some medical skills in my early years. Do you feel swollen and painful joints when it is cloudy and rainy?"

“Can this be seen?”

Listening to Gao Yao's words, Zhao Tuo was shocked. Gao Yao was right.

"Haha, doctors are kind-hearted. General, you have fought in South Vietnam twice and have been on the battlefield for a long time. It is inevitable that you have injuries. The weather in the south is very humid. If you don't take care of yourself, the pain will get worse as you get older. I will prescribe a prescription for you later. After you go back, take it once every three days. You will see the effect within half a month."

"In that case, thank you very much, Master Gao Yao."

"No problem. Someone fill ten jars of fine wine for the general and give them to him to take back."

"Here"

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

"Alas, General, what are you talking about? This is all for His Majesty, and these are just trivial matters. This fine wine is sold at a price of a thousand coins per jar, but it is still out of stock. I hope the general can keep it a secret for me, otherwise I'm afraid someone will say that I'm a mercenary again."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know about this matter naturally."

"General, although the wine is good, please do not drink too much. Just taste it. If it is not enough, just send someone to inform me."

"Hahahaha... Thank you, Master Gao Yao. I'll take my leave now."

"I'll see the general off..."

After sending Zhao Tuo away, Cao Shen had already arrived at the mansion.

"My Lord, I'm afraid that Zhao Tuo's coming this time is not so simple."

"Well, I'm thinking about Guilin and Xiangjun counties."

"What, this..."

"It's okay. The people have already left. This is a good opportunity for you to practice your military skills. Go and clear out the troublemakers in the two counties. Just treat it as training."

"Here"

"My Lord, the two counties of Guilin and Xiangjun are no longer worth our attention. So why don't we give them up?"

"Of course it is useless to us now, and can even be said to be a burden. But the more this is the case, the more we cannot hand it over. It is easy to hand it over, but it is difficult to take it back."

"My lord, what you mean is that Zhao Tuo is..."

"Well, Ren Xiong is a tiger, and you all think that Zhao Tuo is a wolf. In fact, Zhao Tuo is an old fox. Don't underestimate him. The current method is to drag it out. As long as I don't let go, if Zhao Tuo intervenes in the affairs of Guilin and Xiangjun counties, it will be an usurpation. If others know about it, Zhao Tuo's position will be in jeopardy."

"Zhao Tuo is a man of outstanding political ability and has considerable influence in the southern border. The 200,000 southern border troops are only a part of it. The most important thing is that the people of Nanyue are also afraid of Zhao Tuo. This is the key point. If he is allowed to govern the three counties, when the government orders are in conflict with each other, the people of Nanyue will definitely obey Zhao Tuo's orders."

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Cao Shen was impressed. In fact, Gao Yao was also foresighted.

"Of course, there is another point. We are poor now."

"Cough cough..."

Listening to Gao Yao's straightforward explanation, Cao Shen was a little embarrassed. Gao Yao's goal was to not only unify the southern border within three years, but also turn the 200,000 southern border troops into his own army. Only in this way would he have the possibility of competing for the world.

"By the way, how is the investigation going on with the matter I asked you to do?"

"My lord, the people have been sent out. This person does exist and we should have made contact with him by now. As for whether he is willing to come back with us, we are not sure yet."

"Remember what I said?"

"Understood. If I can't get it, I'll destroy it. Don't worry, my lord. I've sent nearly 20 people, all of whom are well-trained fighters. If the other party refuses, they will definitely be able to kill him."

"Okay, go ahead. The affairs of Guilin and Xiangjun are now in your hands."

"Here"

The person Gao Yao asked Cao Shen to look for was Han Xin, who was having the most difficult time during this period. It was also the easiest time to get Han Xin. At the same time, Gao Yao was also looking for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

As for these two people, Gao Yao's goal is very simple, that is to kill them to get the reward of changing the plot. Gao Yao knows very well that even if there is no Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, there will be others, but Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have a great relationship with his reward.

On the other hand, in Xianyang City, the eldest son Fusu established the Juxian Hall to recruit talents to serve the Qin Dynasty. As Fusu's most loyal supporter, Meng Tian naturally would not give up this opportunity and introduced Yi Xiaochuan to Fusu.

Meng Tian also gained Yi Xiaochuan's initial recognition by teaching him the Eighteen Moves of the Wandering Dragon, a martial art inherited from his family. In the Juxian Hall, Yi Xiaochuan happened to meet Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu, who were heading to Xianyang under aliases. This made Yi Xiaochuan excited again. After so much time had passed, Xiang Yu, under Fan Zeng's guidance, understood that it was not Yi Xiaochuan's fault, and sat down with Yi Xiaochuan again to drink and chat.
