This is the news recorded in the secret book dedicated to Qin Shihuang Yingzheng by the leaders of alchemists at that time in the pre-Qin period. Those alchemists told Yingzheng that as long as they found any one of the three holy places, they could find immortal immortality from it. The secret of immortality.

And Yingzheng also very cooperatively dispatched Xu Fu, the leader of the alchemists at that time, to lead [-] warriors as guards, and [-] boys and girls as sacrifices.

These are all things recorded in the previous dynasty, but for some reason, they fell into the hands of these Yue people.

……

And the next information recorded in the scroll made Zhang Yan horrified while watching, and even had a thought of killing the other party.

……

"According to the Qin people's records, there are three fairy mountains not far from the east of Yue Kingdom. Although the leader is not interested in immortality, in order to curb the continued expansion of the Qin people, he also sent us to the sea to search for the three fairy mountains. Find a way to resist the invasion of the Qin people..."

"I, the people of Dayue, belong to the same branch of China as the people of Qin. I am a descendant of the sage King Yu. If I find an immortal, the immortal will definitely not ignore our situation."

……

The content of this second paragraph is somewhat different from the previous first paragraph.

From the parchment, Zhang Yan was surprised to find that at the same time when Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to the east, the only other orthodox Huaxia bloodline country that existed in China at that time, besides Qin, also sent his men to search for the three kingdoms. The address of Xianshan.

This is something that has never been recorded in history, and it is also something that Zhang Yan has never imagined before.

After seeing these "secrets", Zhang Yan immediately became interested in the affairs of this Yue tribe, and became quite interested in the "deal" that the ethnic minority girl Jiu talked about in front of him.

However, this is still not the reason for Zhang Yan's killing intent.

Just behind the second part of the information, what the sheepskin scroll continued to record was not the previous text message, but a series of broken patterns.

After putting them together and gesturing for a while, Zhang Yan suddenly recognized that these scattered pictures did not seem to be religious or sacrificial patterns, but some...

Some nautical charts, and information on the surrounding waters.

Honestly, it's kind of scary.

……

It seems that the army not only went to sea, but also returned smoothly, and even circulated many charts back.

……

And the end of the parchment, that is, the last piece of recorded information, returned to the form of words.

Same as before, this text is still recorded from the perspective of a stranger, like a diary.

……

"We found Penglai, and we also found Yingzhou and Fangzhang...Penglai and Fangzhang were very small, and we found many plants on them that we had never seen before, some of which were poisonous, and the seafarers would have red and swollen mouths and tongues after eating them, causing unbearable pain. .And others, with a slight fragrance, seem to be used as spices."

"Unfortunately, on these two fairy mountains, we have not found traces of the existence of immortals. It seems that Xu Fu has already landed in the direction of Yingzhou, which is too dangerous for us, so we give up..."

"On the way back, we encountered an extremely violent storm. The strong wind formed a huge eye of the storm on the sea, and all our ships were swept into the sea..."

"After the storm subsided, some of my subordinates and I woke up on a strange coast. The natives there called themselves Ryukyu people, and they entertained us with wheat cakes and pasta. They were hospitable and their level of civilization was not much different from ours. .”

"According to their introduction, not far to the southeast of Ryukyu Island, there is a larger island called Great Ryukyu Island. Its area is hundreds of times that of Ryukyu Island. There are many people on the island, they live and work in peace and contentment, and it looks like a paradise. It’s just because I have been away from home for a long time, I miss my hometown too much, and some brothers have suffered shipwrecks and do not want to continue to cross the sea, so I returned home with the help of the local people.”

"I have been away from home for decades, and only after I returned home did I realize that my country of Dayue has been destroyed by Qin general Wang Jian, and the land has been reduced to the Qin people."

"In desperation, we have recorded the information obtained from the previous expedition here, and dedicated it to the descendants of a leader. I hope this branch can escape overseas, and when the opportunity comes back in the future, we will revive the foundation of our country..."

"Leaving by an unknown general of the Yue Kingdom..."

……

This fourth paragraph of news can be said to be the concatenation of all the contents of the previous three paragraphs of news.

In this paragraph, Zhang Yan not only explained what the previous information represented, but also directly named the three fairy mountains "Penglai", "Yingzhou" and "Fangzhang" in the third section of the chart, and even There is also the location of the later mysterious islands of the size and size of Ryukyu.

……

Of course, this so-called mysterious island is for the natives of Dahan.

As Zhang Yan, who has long been familiar with the Huaxia map, he just glanced at it and realized that the so-called big and small Ryukyu refers to the Sanshan Islands, the Penghu Islands and the super huge sea islands behind the Penghu Islands. : Dongfan Island.

……

And this huge and extremely important island to China had a more widely known name in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and even the Three Kingdoms period, that is: "Ancient Yizhou".

……

To Zhang Yan's surprise, what Dongyue...or Minyue Kingdom wanted to dedicate to him was a complete set of sea charts to Yizhou.

Even if it is a bit risky according to the current ship manufacturing technology, as long as he is willing to invest the cost, the difficulty of developing Yizhou in advance has been reduced to an exaggerated level for Zhang Yan.

And if according to the official history, if you want to develop Yizhou, at least you have to wait until decades later, when Sun Quan, the then king of Soochow, sent generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead thousands of people across the sea and arrived in Yizhou. The footprints of Chinese civilization have been left on the land of Yizhou.

Now, this honor was not only delivered to him decades earlier, but even in such an unbelievable form...

"Well... your name is Jiu, right? Sit up, don't keep your head down in front of me."

"I don't like this set of things."

Looking up at the girl in the distance, Zhang Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you really understand what you gave me? Or, do you really understand what the result of doing this means?"

……

"Yes."

With just one word, it expressed what Jiu was thinking at the moment.

"I know what this means, and I also know that this is a big gamble for our Minyue tribe, and even the entire Yue people."

"If you lose the bet, we will be doomed forever."

……

"only……"

……

Silently raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yan, Jiu read something from his eyes.

Some are similar to her, and some are similar to her teacher, the previous Minyue Miaozhu.

That is the so-called "compassion", or "compassion" for the weak.

……

It is precisely because of this judgment that Jiu made up his mind, and his gaze towards Zhang Yan became a little firm:

"I would like to believe that you are not the kind of person who kills donkeys, and you will not silence us just because we handed over this information to you."

"If you can do this, you will undoubtedly be no different from Zu Lang and his ilk."

……

"and also……"

Slightly pursing her thin lips, Jiu pulled the clothes on her body and smoothed out some folds on it:

"Also, we Yue people still have a lot of value that we can dedicate to you. Your protection is not meaningless."

"Our soldiers will be at your disposal, bringing tactics suitable for fighting in the woods."

"Our shipbuilders have the best craftsmanship, without their help, it would be very difficult for you to reach Ryukyu through Dahan's ships."

"There are many more... As long as you need, we can do many things for you..."

……

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Jiu went on to say:

"And all you need to pay is a little shelter for us poor homeless people."

"You have destroyed the residence of the Yue people, and killed all those who dared to resist you. What are left now are those who are willing to dedicate their loyalty to you..."

……

"Stop—!"

……

After waving his hand to stop Jiu who was still muttering to himself, Zhang Yan's expression became even more difficult.

"I don't need you to pay... At least I don't need you to pay me anything. My wife and I have a very good relationship. Even if you intervene, it is impossible to shake her position in my heart, let alone affect my relationship with the Yue people. Attitude……"

Covering his eyes with one hand, Zhang Yan already didn't know what to say.

"I have to say that you have a very accurate grasp of the psychology of the Han people, and you are even very familiar with the techniques of flattery and flattery among the Han people."

"I even write good Chinese characters..."

……

He pointed to the parchment on the table.

The handwriting on it was all written in Chinese characters, probably before today's arrival, Jiu deliberately asked someone to copy it, or copied it on the sheepskin scroll by himself.

Thousands of years ago, Yue Renhai generals could not write such a delicate official script.

……

"What about your choice?"

Instead of losing confidence because of Zhang Yan's words, Jiu's eyes became brighter.

Just like a kid her age should be.

Zhang Yan really couldn't stand this.

……

"Okay, okay, don't put on that look anymore, I can indeed protect you, even all other Yue people including Minyue, as long as you are willing to abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty and pay taxes on time..."

"But you have to give me some time."

……

"Religion, belief, and folk customs, these things do not mean that they can coexist. I suggest that you first set aside a block for you to live in, to prevent excessive mixing and differences in living habits between the two types of residents. personal conflicts."

……

Sighing, he put the sheepskin scroll into his arms. Although Zhang Yan really wanted to act like a bad guy, he even did some things that really made a big deal.

Such as killing, killing for no reason, killing and silence...
