Ying Zheng and Jing Liang continued to walk forward, and Jing Liang picked some game and saved it for the evening.

A pigeon flew head-on towards the two.

As soon as Jing Liang raised his arm, the pigeon landed on Jing Liang's arm. Jing Liang reached out and pulled out the letterhead tied to the pigeon's feet and opened it to see.

"Your Majesty, Lü Buwei has come to ransom you with a ransom." After speaking, Jing Liang handed the note to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng took the note, just glanced at it slightly, and said, "It's really here, even if he is a little loyal." ”

Jing Liang smiled meaningfully and asked, "Your Majesty, is it going according to the original plan?" ”

"Of course, since he brought the ransom money, he can't be allowed to bring it back." Ying Zheng said.

Jing Liang nodded, took out a letterhead that had been prepared a long time ago, tied it to the pigeon's feet, and released the carrier pigeon.

It was getting late, and the two found a cave and plunged into it.

Because they knew the contents of the tortoiseshell, the two of them were very kind when they saw the cave.

However, expressions of disappointment appeared on the faces of the two. There are only a few animal murals in this cave, and they are very vague, and you can't find them unless you look closely.

But it doesn't matter, who is so lucky that they can continue to discover the ruins of antiquity.

What's more, there will be more time in the future.

According to the old rules, Jing Liang made a fire, roasted game, and Ying Zheng sorted out his bags and took out dry food and wine.

There was not much wine left, and this night was also the last night for the two of them to enter Qishan for their adventure.

The spring breeze blows, the aroma of wine is fragrant, the aroma of game is overflowing, and deep in the mysterious mountains, surrounded by ancient breath, which makes people feel indescribable.

"Your Majesty, the ransom that Lu Buwei brought is not a small amount, in the future, where does the king want to spend it." Jing Liang took a long sip of wine and asked.

Ying Zheng had thought about this question before, and then said: "It's quite useful, but today I took over the task of the Heavenly Inheritor, and I had to re-plan." ”

Jing Liang nodded and said: "For major events related to the world, it is naturally indispensable to have strong financial resources as support, and it is necessary to plan the amount of money used in each place. ”

Ying Zheng also took a big sip of wine and said: "Originally, the widow thought that before the widow took over the throne, there would not be much action, but now it seems that it is necessary to plan in advance." ”

Jing Liang nodded and said: "Time is indeed a little short, I heard that the master said that he will come to you again in three years, and at that time, the king must be the king in his hands." ”

"The original plan of the widow was to build a batch of new weapons according to the drawings of some new weapons designed by Li Si before, plus the improvement and forging of skilled craftsmen, first to create a batch of new weapons, and then conduct drills, if the effect is good, then establish a tiger army." Ying Zheng said brightly, "But now, the widow plans to find the hiding place of the 'my weapon', and according to the diagram, make a batch of 'my weapon' and directly equip it to the Tiger Army." ”

"This ......" Jing Liang was stunned and said, "Master, does he know?" ”

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "He knows, and he allows the widows to use the 'My Instrument' when they rule the world, but after the unification, the 'My Instrument' must be completely destroyed, and all records must be eliminated." ”

As a martial artist, Jing Liang's eyes had expectations and regrets. He looked forward to seeing the legendary divine soldier as soon as possible, but regretted that this divine soldier would still be sealed to the world in the end.

"The widow also plans to cultivate the original grain seeds given by his predecessors, so that they can grow the best varieties suitable for different climates in various places, which can not only benefit the people, but also prepare military rations for a whole family." Ying Zheng seemed to be infected by the old man in white, and his speech speed was a little slow.

Hearing this, Jing Liang was a little stunned. He actually didn't know what the old man had given Yingzheng.

"There are also tools for improving production, vehicles for transportation, horses, metals for forging weapons, etc., all of which require money." Ying Zheng said.

Jing Liang's eyes widened, and he said, "Your Majesty, the ransom given by Lu Buwei is really a lot, but compared to the things you have to do, I'm afraid it's far from enough." ”

"Hehe......" Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Most of what the widow said is the matter of Daqin, which is naturally borne by the treasury, and the widow only needs to add a little." If there is enough left, the widow wants to build a palace. ”

"Palace?" Jing Liang wondered.

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, the palace." If before, the widow didn't have this idea, and now ......"

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng sighed lightly: "Now that the widow is carrying the destiny of heaven, there are many things and secrets that cannot be known to the world. If you still live in the current dormitory, and you don't even have a secret room, how can you discuss big things? ”

"The king is very right." Jing Liang said, "These secret things really can't be known to outsiders. ”

When he returned to Xianyang, he began to build a dormitory as a place for gatherings. There are also a few more secret rooms inside. Ying Zheng said.

Jing Liang took a sip of wine and said, "I just happen to understand the structure and design of this kind of secret room, so I should be able to help." ”

"That couldn't be better." Ying Zheng said happily, "If you send some craftsmen from Lu Xiangbang, it is estimated that it will be completed soon." ”

"Lu Xiangbang's craftsmen?" Jing Liang asked suspiciously.

Ying Zheng nodded, and briefly said that Lu Buwei recruited the world's top craftsmen and imitated Jiuding.

A hint of strangeness flashed in Jing Liang's eyes, but Ying Zheng didn't notice it.

"The widow thinks that these craftsmen, knowing about Jiuding, must not release them to the world." Ying Zheng said, "And imprisoning or placing them under house arrest seems unkind, especially because of the craftsmanship of these craftsmen." Therefore, the widow intends to use these people to build or make things that cannot be told to the world. ”

"It is the best arrangement to place these people in this way, and there are indeed many things that the king cannot tell the world to make in the future." Jing Liang said, "It's just that if you want to transfer these craftsmen from the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm afraid it will make Lu Xiangbang suspicious." ”

Ying Zheng picked up the flask and took a sip: "Therefore, it needs to be requisitioned in batches." This time, the craftsmen who built the palace, buildings, and secret rooms will be drawn out first. After the palace is built, another batch will be sent to make 'self-weapons' and other weapons. The rest of the craftsmen, when the time comes, if there is anything to be made, let's discuss it. ”

"Well, good idea." Jing Liang sighed: "In this way, it also gives these craftsmen a second life and a chance to display their talents, hahaha." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "I just hope that tomorrow's ransom will go smoothly and there will be no accidents." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, there will be no mistakes." Jing Liang raised the flask and made a toasting motion, "On the lower salute to the king." ”

Ying Zheng also saluted back, raised the wine jug, and took a sip.

In the early morning of the second day, the two continued to rush back.

At a pre-agreed ridge, two men dismounted.

After waiting for a while, I saw a carrier pigeon fly over and land on Jing Liang's arm.

When I opened the letterhead, I saw that it read: "The ransom has been received, and I hope to return as soon as possible." ”

Jing Liang bowed his hand to Yingzheng and said, "Your Majesty, the brothers have already received the ransom, and it seems that we will also leave for the time being." ”

"Then let's go according to the plan." Ying Zheng said.

"Then we'll see you in Xianyang City." Jing Liang said.

"Wait." Ying Zheng said urgently, "The widow suddenly thought that if he acted according to the plan, it would definitely be inappropriate to carry so many things on his body. ”

Jing Liang looked at the large and small bags and cloth bags on Ying Zheng's horse, and said with a smile: "Indeed, with these things, it looks like a hostage just released by the kidnappers, haha." ”

"Then Brother Lao Jing will keep it on his behalf, and then hand it over to the widow after the confluence in Xianyang." Ying Zheng said.

"When will the king become polite, don't worry, except below, there will be no touching of them." Jing Liang dismounted, then transferred the bags to his horse, tied them, and checked them twice.

Ying Zheng also checked his war horse, and then handed over his change of clothes, and the rest of the dry food and wine to Jing Liang, leaving only a small half pot of drinking water.

"If you want to pretend, you can pretend to be like some more." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Take care, Your Majesty." Jing Liang arched his hand and said, "Follow behind the king, and when it is safe, we will evacuate this place." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, then raised his horsewhip and urged the horse away.

After Yingzheng ran out of a distance, Jing Liang also urged the horse and followed.

An hour later, a team of men and horses appeared in front, the banner was from the Qin State, and the sergeants were all dressed as the Qin army, and they were the Mengjia army of the Qin State.

Yingzheng urged the horse and greeted him.

At this time, the sergeants also discovered Yingzheng. But the distance was far away, and he couldn't see the face clearly, Ying Zheng was wearing plain clothes again, and the sergeant in the front row stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow feathers.

"Who's coming?"

The sound was loud and rang for miles. It was none other than Meng Tian who shouted.

"It's a widow." Ying Zheng raised his voice and shouted forward.

Meng Tian urged the horse to meet him, but the soldiers in the rear did not move, standing by in place.

After seeing Yingzheng's face clearly, Meng Tian hurriedly stopped the war horse, turned over and jumped off the horse, and knelt on the ground: "The guilty minister Meng Tian, it's too late to save the car, please ask the king to surrender." ”

When the rear sergeant saw Meng Tian kneeling down, he knew that the person who came was Yingzheng, so he knelt down collectively.

As soon as the words fell, Ying Zheng had already ridden his horse to Meng Tian.

Jumping off the horse, Ying Zheng stepped forward to help Meng Tian up, and said: "Although General Meng was negligent in this incident, the cause was that the widow brought Princess Hu Yu to play. Now that the widow had returned safely and was in a good mood, he gave General Meng a chance to make up for his mistakes, and that was to find out the origin of the assassin and the mastermind behind it. ”

"The Guilty Minister's Command." Meng Tian arched his hand and said.

The two deliberately shouted so loudly that the sergeants in the rear could hear it.

"Get up." Ying Zheng gave Meng Tian a look.

Meng Tian nodded, stood up, and said in a loud voice, "Welcome the king back to the camp." ”

"Welcome the king back to the camp." The sergeants in the rear shouted in unison.

"Let's go, there's something to talk on the way." Ying Zheng jumped on the horse and urged the horse forward.

Meng Tian also got on the horse and followed.

"When did Lu Xiangbang arrive?" Ying Zheng asked in a low voice.

"I arrived yesterday." Meng Tian replied, "Lu Xiangbang was very anxious, and after coming into contact with the kidnapper's envoy, he paid the ransom without saying a word. ”

"Oh?" Ying Zheng was quite surprised by Lu Buwei's performance.

After paying the ransom, Lu Xiangbang asked Weichen to wait here, and he personally led people to patrol the mountains. And ......," Meng Tian paused for a moment and said, "In order to find the king, Lu Xiangbang also made very careful arrangements. ”

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian and asked in a low voice with some nervousness, "Did he find out something?" ”

Meng Tian replied: "At present, it shouldn't be yet, maybe Lu Xiangbang is too worried about the king, so it's like this." ”

"And what did he set up?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Lu Xiangbang has arranged a lot of secret posts in the mountains, and once he finds those assassins, or robbers, and the king, he will be the first to know." Meng Tian said, "Lu Xiangbang has also requisitioned a lot of defenders from nearby Chengguan, and has surrounded the entire Qishan group. ”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was shocked and worried that Jing Liang would be in danger.

"Lu Xiangbang also ordered someone to smear the nectar in the ransom and brought a lot of well-trained hunting dogs." "It is said that these hounds can trace the smell of nectar on these ransom money, so as to find the robbers. Lü Xiangbang also ordered that once the king's traces were discovered, the hounds would be released immediately to find the ransom. I'm afraid that at this moment, the dark whistle has already been reported, and those hounds have already acted. ”

"What?!" Ying Zheng was shocked.

If Jing Liang is caught, it will be a big trouble.
