Chapter 1109: Discussing the map, where to go

~4 min read 696 words

"You don't need to look at me like that."

"This was indeed drawn by His Highness."

"As for how His Highness knew there were still nations on the Nanyue side, no one knows this question."

"His Highness would not tell a small person like me about such things."

"You don't need to ask this question; asking would be in vain."

Shanu directly admitted that this map was drawn by His Highness.

There was no need to cover up such things.

Even if he said he drew it himself, no one would likely believe him.

Perhaps it would even lead to a beating.

He did not want to joke about his own safety.

"This is a map drawn by your Highness, so it must be very valuable."

"How could such a valuable thing be on your person?"

"What is the reason for this?"

"Do you think it's normal?"

Fan Zeng leaned in.

There was something fishy about this!

This map might be real.

But it appearing on this small soldier was very abnormal.

"As expected of Fan Zeng, hitting the nail on the head."

"I admire you greatly."

"It's a pity you took a detour."

Shanu looked directly at Fan Zeng and shook his head with regret.

"You..."

Fan Zeng was furious and unable to refute for a moment.

He could only snort coldly.

"Hmph! Don't change the subject."

Fan Zeng's face was gloomy and not looking good.

Shanu smiled and said: "Don't keep such a straight face."

"Be happy, otherwise you might not be able to laugh later."

"I told you before about the gathering of the great army."

"Did you think I was joking with you?"

"His Highness gathered all the soldiers of Nanyue; did you think it was really to deal with you?"

Ren Xiao and the others were puzzled.

Gathering so many soldiers at this time.

Wasn't it to deal with them?

"You think too much."

"You only have this many people; do you think you are worthy?"

"Dealing with you is just incidental."

"Don't set your own positioning too high; falling down will be very miserable."

Shanu looked at Ren Xiao, Fan Zeng, and the others with disdain.

Ren Xiao's face also became ugly after hearing this.

He could not refute these words.

The facts were indeed like this.

They only had one hundred thousand soldiers.

In any case, it would not take so many Imperial soldiers to surround them.

The only possibility was that they had more important things to do.

And they were only a hundred thousand people; the Imperial Army was just solving them along the way.

They would not value them at all.

After all, the disparity in numbers was right there.

Thinking of this, Ren Xiao could not help but feel some regret.

At his age, this decision was truly impulsive.

Zhao Tuo had advised him before, but he did not listen.

Now that it had come to this, there was no turning back.

Shanu saw that the faces of the few were not looking good.

He did not continue to mock them.

"Our main purpose this time is to head towards the location on the map."

"The reason the map is on me is because many people have one to carry with them."

"This thing just needs to be copied; is it very valuable?"

"To you, this map might be very valuable."

"But to us, this really doesn't count for much."

"If everyone doesn't have a copy, how can we go to the Maurya Dynasty?"

"As for any conspiracies or plots, would the Imperial Army need to use them to deal with you?"

Shanu spoke eloquently.

Now, there were only two paths left for Ren Xiao and the others.

Either surrender.

Or follow the map.

There was absolutely no third path to take.

After all, they had the Imperial Army eyeing them covetously from behind.

They simply could not win, nor did they dare to engage in battle.

And the surrounding areas were all uninhabited places.

If they wandered around, when the food and supplies were exhausted, they would surely die.

Ren Xiao and the others also understood.

It was just a piece of Xuan paper.
