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

"I'm sorry, Brother Yu, everything that happened before was my fault."

"Okay, Xiaochuan, I know you didn't mean it. You didn't expect that your former fellow countryman would betray you. I already knew that you were able to rush out to save me, but the death of my uncle at that time..."

Xiang Yu was somewhat saddened by the mention of Xiang Liang's death, but he still did not forget the important matters.

"Xiaochuan, I want to ask you something, please be sure to tell me"

"Brother Yu, I know what you want to ask, but Gao Yao is not in Xianyang or Pei County now, but in the southern border."

"Southern Territory?"

Xiang Yu was also stunned when he heard Yi Xiaochuan's words. Jiangdong was not far from the southern border. Before the Chu State was destroyed, it had fought with the Nanyue tribe many times, but neither side had stationed troops on the other side. Nanyue was not strong enough and had no means of siege warfare. In addition, it had few horses and was unable to attack.

Similarly, for the Chu State at that time, although it could attack Nanyue, it was still unnecessary. Nanyue was vast and sparsely populated, and there were no decent buildings or cities. If it really took it down, the cost would be too high.

Xiang Yu was naturally aware of the situation in the southern border. The Qin Dynasty mobilized an army of 600,000 and finally conquered most of the land of Nanyue. However, the poverty of Nanyue was destined to bring no benefits to the Qin Dynasty.

And now, Gao Yao, whom he had been thinking about so much, actually ran to the southern border. This really surprised him.

"That's right. Originally, because of the capture of King Tuan, Gao Yao had been rewarded by His Majesty and became the commander of Sishui County. Later, Gao Yao offered His Majesty some city construction strategies, and was transferred to the southern border to serve as the commander of Nanhai, controlling the three counties of Nanhai."

"this......"

Even Xiang Yu couldn't understand why Gao Yao did this at this time, and immediately looked at Fan Zeng on the side.

Helpless at this time, Fan Zeng shook his head after thinking again and again.

"I also cannot understand this approach. If Gao Yao had a rebellious heart, he would choose Ba County, Liaodong, or even Sishui County, which are much stronger than the southern border. The southern border has a full 200,000 Qin troops, so Gao Yao would definitely have no chance of turning things around. What's more, Gao Yao has no one to assist him, no reputation, and it is impossible for him to make a fortune."

"That's not necessarily true. Gao Yao would do a lot of research and wash it for you. Maybe you can sell it for a lot of money. As long as you have money, maybe..."

At this time, Yi Xiaochuan thought of the fixed pulley and movable pulley construction technology contributed by Gao Yao. Yi Xiaochuan felt that Gao Yao might be able to gain a foothold by relying on this functional construction technology.

However, Yi Xiaochuan was interrupted by Fan Zeng just as he opened his mouth. Fan Zeng directly said that this matter was impossible.

"Xiaochuan, if Gao wants to go to the northern border, no matter how he wants to develop, as long as he has bad intentions, do you think General Meng Tian will sit idly by and do nothing?"

"Of course not"

"The same goes for the South Territory, where Ren Xiong and Zhao Tuo are also. The three counties in the South Territory should have been the location of these two people. Now Gao Yao is heading directly to the South Territory without any foundation. How can Ren Xiong and Zhao Tuo just sit there and watch?"

"If Gao Yao can guarantee that he will not die, then he has some ability. It is not easy to develop under the other party's nose. Even if Ren Xiong enters Xianyang now, the result will be the same."

"To develop in the southern border, money is not enough to solve the problem. First of all, food is needed, and secondly, people's hearts. If Gao Yao had not offended the powerful, why would he go to such a place?"

"This... But I heard from General Meng Tian that it was Li Si who suggested this matter to Your Majesty. Why did Gao Yao want to offend Li Si..."

Originally, Yi Xiaochuan was quite confident that all this was Gao Yao's plan. But after hearing what Fan Zeng said, Yi Xiaochuan was not sure. Although Meng Tian also said at that time that Gao Yao's going to the southern border was basically like announcing his exile, it seemed that he would be promoted, but there was almost no chance for him to return to the southern border.

"There is no other way. We will not have the chance to meet Prime Minister Li Si. Xiang Yu, don't worry about this. One day you will be able to avenge your uncle, but not now."

"Sir, do you doubt that I am not capable of killing Gao Yao?"

"Haha, you are still so reckless. I'm afraid Xiaochuan can figure out this problem."

"That's right, Brother Yu. Mr. Fan Zeng meant that although Gao Yao is in a difficult situation in the southern border, it is also a very safe place. With 200,000 Qin troops, even if Brother Yu is a god, he can't kill Gao Yao. On the contrary, if Brother Yu is discovered alone, wouldn't it be a betrayal of Mr. Xiang Liang's teachings?"

"this......"

After listening to the two men's words, Xiang Yu finally sighed indignantly.

"Xiaochuan, do you have any ideas for the future?"

"I...haven't yet."

"Xiaochuan, how about coming back to Chu with me?"

At this time, Xiang Yu invited Yi Xiaochuan again, directly inviting him to go to Chu. Hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan smiled bitterly. Meng Tian wanted him to go to the northern border, while Xiang Yu wanted to take him back to Chu. With Liu Bang wandering outside, Yi Xiaochuan had many choices, but he didn't want to choose any of them. Especially at this time, following Xiang Yu back to Chu was not Yi Xiaochuan's first choice.

Although Yi Xiaochuan believed that the relationship between him and Meng Tian was a misunderstanding, Yi Xiaochuan was still very grateful to Meng Tian for saving him and helping him suppress Gao Yao, otherwise he would have died.

On the other hand, Meng Tian had just found him a position in the court. If he left now, it would definitely make Meng Tian embarrassed in front of Qin Shi Huang.

"Master Meng Yi, General Meng Tian has something important to tell you and asks you to come to the palace to see His Majesty."

"Oh, what? An audience with His Majesty?"

At first, Yi Xiaochuan didn't even react. When he finally reacted, he was shocked. He looked back at Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu, both of whom were surprised.

After all, Meng Yi's level should not be able to meet Ying Zheng, but now he has been summoned. The role of Meng Tian can be imagined.

"I understand. I'll be there in a minute."

"This... Lord Meng Yi, His Majesty summoned General Meng Tian only to convey His Majesty's order. Lord Meng Yi should leave immediately."

The person in charge of delivering the message was also shocked. This was definitely the first time that someone summoned by Qin Shi Huang dared to keep Qin Shi Huang waiting.

"Xiaochuan, hurry up! If you are slow, His Majesty will chop you to pieces, and Meng Tian will not be able to save you."

"But, Brother Yu, you guys..."

“Go quickly…”
