Chapter 902 The Magical Tree
"Did Lang'er ask you to trade with him?"
Qin Shihuang came back to his senses and said in disbelief.
He knew Zhao Lang's arrangements for Xiang, but he never expected that Lang'er was still doing business with him.
If this had been done before, it would have been a crime of capitalizing on the enemy, and confiscation of one's home would not be an exaggeration.
Zhao Tuo on the side quickly asked someone to bring him the documents that Zhao Lang had given him. He did not dare to bear this crime.
After reading the document, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said,
"It's just nonsense."
"Look at what he asked you to trade for? Food, bronze, and iron tools that Da Qin itself doesn't even have enough!"
"There's actually thunder from the sky!"
Looking at the transaction items in the document, Qin Shihuang only felt a headache. If anyone else said this, it would be treason against the enemy.
Zhao Tuo on the side could only smile bitterly and said,
"Your Majesty, I have also spoken to His Majesty the Crown Prince about this matter."
"It's just that His Highness the Crown Prince said that as long as the Xiang family follows our direction, then the other party will always follow us."
Qin Shihuang frowned slightly when he heard this. He still couldn't understand, so he asked,
"The wanderer usually comes back in exchange for something."
After hearing the question, Zhao Tuo hesitated for a while before returning.
"His Royal Highness, you asked the other party to bring back a lot of seeds of flowers, plants and trees that we don't recognize, and oh, by the way, there are also some minerals."
Hearing this, Qin Shihuang couldn't bear it anymore.
"This prodigal son!"
How could he bear to exchange such precious food and bronze and iron tools for these flowers and plants?
Zhao Tuo quickly explained,
"Your Majesty, there are actually a lot of good things in it. I got a batch of rice and sent it to the farmers before. Now there is more rice in the south that can be grown almost all year round."
"That's it, it's already a profit."
When Qin Shihuang heard this, his brows jumped slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face and he said,
"I knew that boy was not a man willing to suffer losses."
"Come on, come with me to see what those people brought this time."
After speaking, Qin Shihuang headed towards the location of the caravan.
Soon he arrived at the place and saw Hu Hai talking to the people in the caravan.
"Did you bring anything special this time?"
Hu Hai said carelessly while flipping the goods.
There is nothing fun for him here. Apart from bullying the local nobles, he just relies on some new gadgets brought by Xiang's caravan to relieve his boredom.
The people in the caravan were obviously used to the other party's behavior, and the leader quickly returned,
"There are some fresh fruits and seeds."
Hu Hai looked at the motorcade for a while, then showed no interest, shook his head and said,
"I'm not interested in these foods. Why don't you ask your king to bring down more palaces? The things you brought back last time are very good."
The leader of the caravan twitched his lips when he heard this. Why did the other party say that his heroic and unparalleled Overlord of Western Chu was like a thug who only snatched things for the other party?
But now I'm on someone else's territory, and I want to exchange some Tianlei to go back, so I suppress my temper and go back.
"Recently, my king discovered a small kingdom. He should conquer it in a few days. Then I will bring back the interesting things in it for you to see."
Hu Hai nodded after hearing this, but said with a bit of disgust,
"Next time, your Majesty, please do things more politely. Don't send things with blood stains every time. At least wash them."
Listening to Hu Hai's nonsense, the leader of the caravan could only show an awkward but polite smile.
Hu Hai wanted to say something, but suddenly he took up his hand in disgust and said,
"What is that white thing on this piece of wood? Why is it so slimy?"
The caravan leader took one look, frowned and said,
"It's probably a wild branch accidentally thrown in during loading. It's of no use."
After saying that, he picked out the branch and threw it aside.
Hu Hai walked aside with some disgust. At this time, he saw the figures of Qin Shihuang and others, so he quickly walked over.
"Father, why are you here?"
Qin Shihuang said calmly,
"Just take a look."
"Did you find anything useful?"
Hu Hai shook his head and returned,
"They are all useless. That boy Xiang Yu is becoming more and more useless now. I heard from the caravan before that he could destroy a small country in a month, but now he is still in the same place after several months."
"Brother Lang still values him so much and asked him to go to the south to lay the foundation for us. Now it seems that we can't count on him."
"Hmph, if I had known, Brother Lang might as well have given this task to me."
Hearing this, Zhao Tuo on the side felt numb. Even though he had been staying in the land of Baiyue, he still knew Xiang Yu's reputation. A hero who could defeat ten thousand people was now so unbearable in Hu Hai's mouth.
Qin Shihuang was amused at this time and said,
"It seems like this fake Chu Overlord is worse than you."
Hu Hai raised his head and said,
"That's natural."
"I think back then, when Brother Lang and I were together, the army of hundreds of thousands defeated the Chu army of hundreds of thousands, killing them until they abandoned their armor."
"Later, Brother Lang and I blocked him on the riverside."
Hearing this, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but be stunned. He really didn't expect that the other party would really dare to recognize him.
Although he had never seen Xiang Yu, it was clearly written in various battle reports that he was indeed a fierce general.
Seeing Hu Hai's proud look, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but said angrily,
"Just follow Lang'er from now on."
He didn't even dare to think about what the other party would become if he really put him in an important position.
But now it seems that Langer's plan has been implemented well.
The Xiang clan is currently laying a solid foundation for them in the wild lands to the south.
Hu Hai did not let go at this time and said,
"Father, do you not believe me? Just wait and see. When Brother Lang goes south to regain the land, I will definitely be able to defeat him."
"To deal with that kid, why do you need Brother Lang to take action..."
Qin Shihuang felt a headache after hearing this and was about to interrupt him. At this time, Zhao Gao came over with a slightly complicated expression and said,
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has written a reply."
Qin Shihuang suddenly smiled and quickly opened the document, but after just one glance, his smile froze on his face.
Then he said coldly to the others,
"You all stand down."
Soon, everyone left here.
Qin Shihuang said coldly to Zhao Gao at this time,
"Did you tell Lang'er that I wanted to fly to the sky?"
In this letter, Zhao Lang directly stated that he would help him build the Feitian Ink Lantern after returning to Xianyang.
Upon hearing the question, Zhao Gao plopped down on the ground and said,
"Your Majesty, I swear to God that I will never tell His Highness the Crown Prince."
Qin Shi Huang suddenly frowned slightly. Zhao Gao didn't have the guts to lie to him, so...
Qin Shihuang quickly thought of something and said with a bit of self-mockery,
"Langer's manpower is indeed increasing now, so that's good."
"He asked me to tell Zhao Tuo to find something called a rubber tree."
"It is said that when the bark is cut open, thick white sap will flow out and then solidify."
"Is there such a magical tree in this world?"
