Chapter 820

"These are the specific intelligence about the land of Baiyue, which I had Yan Lingji organize!"

After arriving before Ying Zheng, Su Xuan handed two scrolls to Ying Zheng.

After Ying Zheng heard Su Xuan's words, he was stunned, then took the scrolls and began to read.

Regarding Baiyue, before this, Ying Zheng had some understanding.

However, when he truly saw the content on the scrolls clearly, he discovered that his previous understanding of Baiyue was somewhat superficial. He did not expect that the land of Baiyue was so complex, not only was the climate completely different from the Central Plains, which could be called abnormal, but even the environment was exceptionally harsh. In the forests and wilderness, one would encounter all kinds of trouble.

He thought that the Qin Guo already had enough understanding of Baiyue, but he did not expect that this understanding was only the tip of the iceberg.

If one were to rashly conquer Baiyue without knowing the reasons, perhaps because of the strength of the Qin Guo, one could still destroy Baiyue, but the Qin Guo would inevitably pay a not-so-small price.

For Ying Zheng, conquering Baiyue was to expand the territory, and after expanding the territory, it would lead to the rise of the Qin Guo's national fortune, thereby enhancing his own strength. This was a matter that served both purposes.

But he did not want the Qin Guo to consume too much national power and suffer too many casualties of soldiers.

It would be best to destroy Baiyue without any effort.

Now, knowing that the situation in Baiyue was more complex than imagined, Ying Zheng could not help but take a deep breath, "The State Preceptor has put in effort!"

He believed that the intelligence Su Xuan brought out was all true; Su Xuan had never been a person who exaggerated to scare people.

It was mainly because Su Xuan's strength was too strong, and there were not many things in this world that made him nervous or feel dangerous. If there really was one, then that matter was obviously somewhat troublesome and somewhat tricky.

After seeing the intelligence brought by Su Xuan, Ying Zheng realized the difficulty of Baiyue, but still did not intend to give up the idea of conquering Baiyue.

A mere Baiyue, although somewhat difficult, if he gave up because of this, how could the Qin Guo conquer the world!

However, because of this intelligence from Su Xuan, Ying Zheng was still prepared to make some more preparations.

At least, he had to solve the many difficulties mentioned in this intelligence from Su Xuan before attempting to conquer Baiyue.

The population of Baiyue was sparse, and its national power was not strong, so destroying the states of Baiyue was not difficult.

The most difficult thing placed in front of the Qin Guo was probably the environment of the land of Baiyue.

Su Xuan continued to say to Ying Zheng: "I have already asked Mr. Nian Duan and the people of the Gold Department of the Yin-Yang School to try their best to formulate medicinal herbs against poisonous miasmas. Even if Your Majesty is really prepared to conquer Baiyue, at least you must wait until the medicinal herbs are ready."

"In addition, the people of the Yin-Yang School are proficient in techniques and can also join the army to help the army better conquer Baiyue. Yan Lingji was once a person of Baiyue and has also agreed to become a guide for the army..."

Su Xuan chattered on and said a lot.

Ying Zheng listened quietly to Su Xuan's conversation.

He did not say any more words.

A sentence of "You have put in effort" was already enough.

However, in his heart, Ying Zheng could not help but feel disappointed with the other officials of the Qin Guo. Knowing that the Qin Guo was going to conquer Baiyue, could those people not consider things more comprehensively and collect the intelligence of Baiyue more meticulously?

The State Preceptor was about to go out to sea, and yet he still had to be distracted by the matter of Baiyue!

At the same time, it was also after this explanation from Su Xuan that Ying Zheng became more determined to destroy Baiyue.

The State Preceptor had prepared so much for the matter of Baiyue.

If he still could not easily destroy Baiyue, he would really be ashamed of the State Preceptor's painstaking efforts.

After explaining the matters regarding Baiyue, Su Xuan did not pay attention to the matter of Baiyue anymore.

He had already done so much; if the Qin Guo still suffered heavy casualties because of conquering Baiyue, then there was nothing he could do.

Stayed in the Yin-Yang School for a while longer.

During this period, Su Xuan wandered among many old acquaintances. Among the people of the Yin-Yang School, some were determined to follow him out to sea, while some, due to various reasons, would be forced to stay behind.

For these people who stayed behind, on one hand, Su Xuan had to entrust certain things to them, and on the other hand, he needed to compensate them.

Those who were entrusted with things were the great elders such as Yun Yun Zhongjun, Lord Xiang, and Lady Xiang, and he also entrusted the heavy responsibility of managing the Yin-Yang School to the Moon God. Those who were compensated were Yan Lingji, Lady Mingzhu, and others.

Because Yan Lingji was exceptionally familiar with Baiyue, she was left behind by Su Xuan, and Lady Mingzhu was someone Su Xuan suddenly remembered.

Lady Mingzhu was proficient in the art of medical Gu and had deeply obtained the true teachings of Bai Yifei in the past.

Bai Yifei's art of poisonous Gu had a very deep relationship with the land of Baiyue. In the past, when the states of Han and Chu joined forces to conquer Baiyue, Bai Yifei became famous in one battle. His reliance, besides his powerful strength, was his proficiency in the art of poisonous Gu. The environment of Baiyue where poisonous miasmas were rampant was not difficult for him. Relying on his poisonous Gu methods, he could easily crack many poisonous miasmas and kill his way to the central area of Baiyue.

Although he had already entrusted the specific matters to Nian Duan and Yun Yun Zhongjun and others, just in case, Su Xuan still entrusted the same matters to Lady Mingzhu.

Lady Mingzhu accepted the task entrusted by Su Xuan.

However, I don't know if she knew about the things between Su Xuan and Yan Lingji during that time, and so, she also put forward similar requests.

373 Stayed with Lady Mingzhu for a while, and Su Xuan felt that he was vaguely about to become a ruthless sowing machine.

So, is this the work after achieving the Primordial Spirit?

After slandering in his heart for a while.

Time passed leisurely, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

On this day, he received a letter from the land of Sanghai.

After seeing the content of the letter clearly, Su Xuan soon gathered everyone.

Looking at the Great Siming, Little Siming, Black and White, Xiaoyi, Zinu, Duanmu Rong, and others who came before him, Su Xuan said lightly: "A letter from Sanghai, the Mirage is ready. You go back and prepare. Three days later, we will set off for Sanghai!"

"Yes!"

The women responded, and then each went back to prepare.

While they were each preparing, Su Xuan also went to greet those who stayed behind, said goodbye, and even went to the Xianyang Palace for a trip.

After stepping into the Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng was not reviewing memorials, but had prepared a banquet, and there were two pots of wine placed on the desk.

"State Preceptor, can you drink?"

Su Xuan smiled freely, then came to Ying Zheng and sat down, drinking happily with Ying Zheng.

Three days passed in a flash. On this day, several carriages set off from the Yin-Yang School and headed towards Sanghai.
