Tang Meng, the most greedy Han envoy,

We have arrived at the country of Nanyue, which is known for its food.

The food here is rich and it is a dream place for gluttons. However, behind the food, there are confrontations between the north and the south, ethnic barriers, power struggles, the rise and fall of national policies... All kinds of twists and turns are more complicated than the flavor of Lingnan food.

This lazy envoy is caught in the vortex of political struggle in Lingnan. The only partner he can trust is food; the only way out is to pursue the ultimate food.

No one expected that this subtle taste would actually affect the fate of the Han Dynasty and Nanyue, and even the entire Chinese territory...
