Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 178: The vassal state of the Qin Dynasty, the attitude of the Lord of Aolai, and the combination of the East China Sea dragon clan and the human race!

After the Qin Dynasty unified the nine provinces, due to the vast territory, the First Emperor set up thirty-six county cities and assigned county governors with extraordinary cultivation, ability and means to govern the area.

As time passed, these thirty-six county governors changed from time to time, but the county governor of Donghai County was the only one who never changed.

Because the governor of Donghai County is different from that of other counties. He is the ruler of a country, Ao Yuan, the ruler of Aolai State on the coast of the East China Sea.

As Ying Xuan's touring carriage arrived in Donghai County, the Kingdom of Aolai naturally also got the news.

Ao Yuan, the king and prefect of Donghai County, immediately led a group of officials to the city gate to welcome them.

Not long after, the touring carriage appeared on the official road in a mighty procession.

"It's His Majesty's carriage!"

An official from Donghai County was sharp-eyed and was the first to spot the carriage on the official road. He immediately came to Ao Yuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, and whispered, "Your Excellency, the governor, His Majesty's carriage is here!"

Hearing this, Ao Yuan opened his eyes, looked at the procession carriage that appeared on the official road, and said softly: "Everyone, follow me and welcome His Majesty's carriage!"

After saying this, the ruler of Aolai State strode forward, followed by a group of officials from Donghai County.

"Ao Yuan, the governor of Donghai County and ruler of Aolai State, pays respect to Your Majesty!"

"Your subordinates are here to see your majesty!"

Ao Yuan stood not far from the carriage, and with the officials behind him, he paid homage and shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!"

Seeing this, Wang Ben, who was at the front of the parade carriage and was serving as an attendant guard, pulled the reins and slowly stepped aside to make way for the imperial chariot behind him.

At this moment, Ying Xuan was already fully dressed, wearing a black casual robe with a brocade dragon and jade robe draped over his body, which diminished some of his imperial majesty and added a touch of the demeanor of a nobleman.

"Aolai Kingdom in the East Sea... I have heard of this name."

Ying Xuan raised a faint smile, and then stared deeply at Ao Yuan and the Donghai County officials who were kneeling before him, and said calmly: "No need to be polite, stand up!"

"I don't want to start a war during my tour. Go and disperse the onlookers."

"In addition, after entering the city, the emperor must not disturb the people."

Ying Xuan glanced at the crowd not far away who had come to see the excitement after hearing Feng's words, gave some instructions, and then his eyes fell on Ao Yuan. After a slight pause, he added, "Ao Yuan will ride with me into the city."

The words fell!

All the officials of Donghai County bowed and said, "We obey your orders!"

Instead, Ao Yuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Ying Xuan would summon him. He felt a little uneasy for a moment.

This seemed to be the first time that Ying Xuan summoned foreign ministers to accompany him since he ascended the throne. Such an honor inevitably made Ao Yuan feel a little uneasy.

"Lord Ao, please get on the chariot."

Wang Ben looked at the officials of Donghai County who were going to disperse the crowd of people. Then he saw Ao Yuan standing in front of the emperor's chariot, hesitating, and reminded him, "Don't keep your majesty waiting for too long."

Hearing this, Ao Yuan suddenly woke up and bowed, saying, "Marquis Tongwu is right. Thank you very much!"

After saying this, the king of Aolai took a deep breath and then stepped onto the imperial chariot.

Wang Ben, on the other hand, frowned, looked at the imperial carriage thoughtfully, and murmured, "This ruler of Aolai Country does have some tricks... It seems that he knew in advance that the imperial carriage would come to Donghai County?"

He never told Ao Yuan who he was. As the son of Wang Jian, he stayed in Xianyang City all year round except when the Qin Dynasty was conquering all the other countries. He had never seen the ruler of Aolai Kingdom.

But the latter was able to reveal his identity and origin in one breath... If Wang Ben had not been prepared in advance, he would not have believed it even if he was beaten to death!
……

At this time, on the imperial chariot, Ying Xuan sat casually on the couch, looking at Ao Yuan who knelt in front of him after getting on the imperial chariot, and looked at him with interest.

The governor of Donghai County, who is also the ruler of Aolai State, is not a pure human.

Or rather...it cannot be simply called a human, because Ao Yuan is a creature born from the union of the dragon race and the human race.

Because of this, although Ao Yuan was not born divine, he had a good talent for cultivation and had reached the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm at a young age.

Such cultivation level is naturally not worth mentioning if one looks at the three realms.

But you have to know that humans are not inherently divine and do not have eternal life.

On the contrary, the human race has a limited lifespan. If one's cultivation does not reach a certain level, it is impossible to break through the shackles of this limit.

It has only been a few decades since Ao Yuan was born, and it is extraordinary that he has achieved such an accomplishment.

"Ao Yuan, tell me about the Aolai Kingdom."

Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes and thought of all the records in the future. There was no trace of the Aolai Kingdom at all.

This was one of the few places where he had no information at all, even though he knew all the myths and history.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to know about the Aolai Kingdom?" Ao Yuan bowed respectfully.

He had no hesitation in "betraying" the Aolai Kingdom. Obviously, in his heart, compared with the title of the ruler of the Aolai Kingdom, he cared more about the position of the governor of Donghai County.

But in fact, he did not sell out the Kingdom of Aolai.

Because the latter was originally a vassal state of the Qin Dynasty. As the emperor of Qin, it was reasonable for Ying Xuan to want to know about the affairs of Aolai Kingdom.

"This is my first time in the East China Sea. I heard that Aolai is a country in the East China Sea, and I am a little curious."

Ying Xuan thought about it, and recalled what he had encountered along the way. In most places, the people seemed to be living and working in peace and contentment.

Especially under Qu Yuan's rule, the 800-li Dongting Lake was free from floods, and local people no longer had to worry.

Therefore, the 800-li area of ​​Dongting Lake is taken care of by local people, who cultivate farmland, build canals, and mine rocks... and have created an atmosphere of renewal.

However, Donghai County, one of the thirty-six counties established in the Qin Dynasty, did not have such an atmosphere.

When the imperial carriage arrived at Donghai County, Ying Xuan once used the eyes of the guardian dragon to spy on Donghai County... As a result, dark clouds gathered over Donghai County, and a bloody color appeared.

This is a sign of a major disaster in Donghai County!
That's why Ying Xuan asked this question.

"The name of the East China Sea Kingdom is too big, and I dare not accept it. But Your Majesty wants to know about the Aolai Kingdom. Do you have any direction?" Ao Yuan asked after thinking for a while.

As the ruler of Aolai State and the governor of Donghai County of the Qin Dynasty, there were few things in the entire East China Sea that he didn't know.

In other words, if there is something he doesn't know... then the number of people in the East China Sea who know about it is definitely no more than a handful of people.

"direction?"

Ying Xuan looked thoughtful, then slowly said: "Then let's talk about... the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea!"

East China Sea Dragon Palace! ?
Ao Yuan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and there was a hint of weirdness in his eyes. He looked at Ying Xuan cautiously, but without caring about being presumptuous, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Why does it sound like this... Is Your Majesty planning to take over the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea? !
