Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, nine curves of the Yellow River, the sky is firm, the wilderness is vast, and the grass is low to see cattle and sheep.

The mountains are good, the water is beautiful, the pastures are fat, the cattle and sheep, and the number of horses is rare!

This Qinchuan cow also lives up to this good mountain, good water and good pasture, a huge individual, thick bones, full muscles, and strong physique. It is always the 'choice of good cattle and the Lord'.

In the coming year's ploughing ceremony, it is also necessary to select the best bull and cooperate with King Yingdang of Qin Wu to help the plough to plow.

In the era of farming, the land is the carrier of all wealth, the expansion of the territory, only to become the clarion call of the times, the monarchs of the past dynasties have taken this as the goal of their life's struggle, the importance of agriculture is also extraordinary, every year in the spring, the monarchs of various countries will send their cronies to help plough the plough, for the Qin State that relies on the cultivation of the war to establish the country is particularly important, naturally the monarch himself operates.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, it is the time to select the king of the ox, and the selected king of the ox will be eligible to participate in next year's ploughing ceremony, and at the same time perform on the same stage with his monarch. If the cow is selected, it will undoubtedly bring a huge honor, and there will also be a rich reward, the key is that once their feeding technology has been recognized by the state, their own status will also rise, and their own breeding technology will be quickly promoted to all parts of the country.

Qu Ling and Meng said that when they came to the street, they saw a sea of people on the street, and the Qinchuan cattle were driven to the square in front of the palace to gather, only to see these cows, the whole body was purple red, there were also bright red, and a few showed yellow, but the number of such cattle was a minority, and these cattle were selected from all over the world.

In order to be able to show their ability to govern counties in front of the monarch, the local government has made great efforts to select, and all the ones that can be sent to Xianyang are the best bulls in a million, whether it is color or the symmetry of the bones, they are all impeccable. I hope to be able to make a name for myself and show off in front of my colleagues across the country.

The Qin State naturally attaches great importance to the annual selection of the Ox King. But as long as there is no interference from war, it will be held once a year. This year, the powerful Qin Wu Wang Yingdang was even more concerned about this, not only doubling the honorarium for winning, but also deciding to come to watch the game in person. The scene was naturally grand and unprecedented.

These two people don't know what happened! casually pulled the passer-by in front of him and asked:

"What's going on?"

The person in front, when he turned around, hey, he still knew him, it was the butcher Zhu Yidao who he met when he entered Xianyang that day.

Zhu Yidao felt that someone was pulling him behind him, and when he looked back, it was actually Meng Shuo, the two of them were struggling at the beginning, and when they saw that it was Meng Shuo, he hurriedly turned around and said:

"I don't know if it's the son who has arrived, disrespectful! Disrespectful! ”

Meng Shuo hurriedly returned the salute and said:

"Don't dare! Can't! ”

Qu Ling saw that it was Zhu Yidao, and asked:

"I said Zhu Yidao, you don't sell meat at home, what are you doing in the city?"

As soon as Zhu Yidao heard Qu Ling talking to him, he was still so fierce and spicy, and he knew that this person was talking like this, so he naturally didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile:

"Today, the people in Xianyang City have come to see the competition for the selection of the Ox King, and there is no one at home to eat, who am I selling meat to! It's better to join in the fun. Zhu Yidao saw that Qu Ling was dressed so exquisitely, and there were crowds of people on the street, so he couldn't help but say with concern:

"Son-in-law! Today, the streets are crowded with people, and you are dressed so beautifully, and you are not afraid of being soiled by these people, your clothes! ”

When Qu Ling heard this, he thought to himself, 'This idea of selling pork is quite delicate, but how can he understand that a woman's love for beauty, the more people there are, the more luxurious they must wear, and it is best to have a sensational effect that stands out from the crowd. Attract everyone's attention. Qu Ling was still stinking, and Meng Shuo asked:

"Brother Zhu, what kind of competition is this Bull King Competition?"

"This Bull King Competition! Originally, it was nothing, but at the beginning, at the beginning of the annual cultivation ceremony, the people of the Zongren Mansion pulled out a cow casually, and the form of walking was over. Since King Qin Huiwen ascended the throne, he has attached great importance to this. In order to please King Qin Huiwen, the officials in this place sacrificed the best ploughing cattle of their counties to help the plough with the king of Qin, first, to please the king of Qin, and second, to earn some gold and silver.

I don't know when it started, all over the country rushed to pay tribute, and this King of Qin couldn't help it, the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, so he conformed to the wishes of these people and began to hold the Bull King Competition. Zhu Yidao stood in the crowd, feeling noisy, and Qu Ling, Meng said while leaning towards the street, while talking non-stop.

Qu Ling listened to it and asked:

"Since it's a competition, are there any rewards?"

"The winning bull can participate in the ploughing ceremony together next year and pull the plough for the king of Qin. I heard that King Qin doubled the bounty this year, and he also personally participated in the selection process of the competition! Zhu Yidao said.

Meng Shuo and Qu Ling heard the name of Qin Wu Wang Yingdang, and unconsciously glanced at each other, the two thought that today was originally to explore the way for assassination, but they didn't expect to be able to see Qin Wu Wang Yingdang himself, it seems that this trip is worthwhile!

"Brother Zhu! Why don't you lead the way, and let's go over and see together? Qu Ling asked.

"Okay!" Zhu Yidao readily agreed.

Zhu Yidao led the way in front, and the two followed behind, these three people already had kung fu in their bodies, flashing and moving, flexible and changeable, and they arrived under the stands in a short time, this Zhu Yidao naturally took the two of them to the best observation place, otherwise how to be worthy of the invitation of others, Qu Ling was like a dancing butterfly along the way, in this cold winter, it was particularly attention-grabbing.

There are many young people whose eyes are straight, and they almost salivate on the ground, seeing Qu Ling in front, they have followed behind, if it were not for Zhu Yidao and Meng Shuo, the two rough men accompanying them, these people are still afraid, otherwise, it is estimated that they would have rushed up long ago.

At the beginning of the construction of Xianyang, in order to show the wealth of the Qin State, Shang Ying specially reserved a large piece of open space in front of the palace to create a large square, when there is nothing to do, show the soldiers and horses, scare and scare the envoys from the east, and leave it to the craftsmen in Xianyang City on weekdays, where they exchange knowledge and skills of agriculture and handicrafts.

Countless Chinese watches were set up around the square, this Chinese watch was called 'slanderous wood' at first, according to legend, Yao Shun erected wooden pillars on the traffic arteries, let people write advice on it, called "slander wood", referring to the wide opening of the road, listening to the opinions of all parties, I don't know when the mutation began.

At this time, Huabiao is carved from white marble, the base is a lotus seat, which is carved with the pattern of a flying dragon in the sky, and a dragon is carved on the dragon pillar and decorated with flowing cloud patterns; The upper end is horizontally inserted into a cloud board, which is called slander wood;

There is a bearing dew plate on the top of the stone pillar, which is round, so it corresponds to the round place of the sky, and the squatting beast on it is the legendary beast roaring towards the sky, which is used to warn the king to come back in time when he goes out, deal with the government, and not waste the national affairs!

There was a monster with one horn squatting in the middle of the square, Qu Ling had never seen it! Feeling curious, he quietly asked Meng and said:

"What's that monster crouching in the middle?"

Meng said that when he saw that Qu Ling's curiosity was so strong, he quickly replied in a low voice:

"獬豸 (xièzhì)"

"What? What is it for? Qu Ling continued to ask curiously.

Meng Shuo had been vigilantly observing the surroundings for a long time, looking for the shadow of King Yingdang of Qin Wu, only to see that a platform more than one meter high had been erected on this square, and there were already guards around him who had begun martial law, and it seemed that King Yingdang of Qin Wu was about to come over. However, since Qu Ling asked, he still answered her quickly, so as not to ask again in a while, Meng Shuo turned his face and said to Qu Ling:

"獬豸 (xièzhì), is a mythical beast in ancient legends, the big one is like a cow, the small one is like a sheep, similar to a unicorn, the whole body has thick dark hair, the eyes are bright and godly, and there is usually a horn on the forehead, commonly known as a unicorn.

It has a high level of intelligence, and can understand human words and understand human nature.

Its eyes are wide open, it can distinguish between right and wrong, it can know good and evil, and when it finds an evil official, it pushes him down with his horns, and then swallows it into his stomach.

When people have conflicts or disputes, unicorns can point their horns at the unreasonable party, and even put their horns against those who deserve to die, making the offender shudder.

Emperor Yao's criminal officer Gao Tao once kept a hedgehog, and all the difficult and unresolved matters were known to the hedgehog's ruling, and they were all accurate. Shang Ying changed the law and enforced the legal system, calling the pig a 'law beast' and becoming the embodiment of justice in law enforcement, so he created a statue for it in the most dazzling place in this square. ”

"I see!" Qu Ling muttered. Qu Ling was about to speak, but Zhu Yidao grabbed the corner of his clothes, and said softly:

"King Qin is here! Don't talk! ”

Qu Ling and Meng Shuo looked in the direction in which Zhu Yidao spoke, and saw a tall and mighty strong man riding a tall horse, walking in front, followed by two equally tall and powerful strong men.

Meng said that everyone was a tall man close to two meters, on par with himself, and lowered his head and asked Zhu Yidao:

"Which one is King Qin Yingdang?"

Zhu Yidao whispered:

"The one in the front is King Wu Yingdang, the one riding a black horse on the left is Ren Wei, and the one riding a jujube red horse on the right is Wu Yu! These two are the henchmen of the Martial King, and they can both lift a thousand catties of Dading! The prime minister in the back is sick, Gan Mao..."Zhu Yidao said, while standing on tiptoe to look this way, although the common people don't have to kneel when they see the officials, but the minimum etiquette must be observed, and the least point is not to make loud noises.

Meng said that because of the company of Zhu Yidao, he had a lot of understanding of the important ministers of the Qin State! At least the face is familiar.

"These three people are like door gods! Eldest brother! I thought you were the only one who was so tall, it turned out that King Qin was also a tall man! Qu Ling said intentionally or unintentionally on the side.

Since seeing these three people, Meng Shuo has some consideration in his heart! King Qin Wu alone can still handle it! It's just that this Ren is contemptible, how should the two strong men deal with it?

Lost in thought for a moment!
