Chapter 47: Swinging the Army Eastward

The three of them walked out of the secret room.

Jing Liang turned around and gently pushed the stone door, and stepped on it hard with his right foot, and the stone gate returned to its original position, tightly sealed.

Bypassing a few coffins and passing by the terracotta figurines, Ying Zheng stopped.

Bringing the torch closer to the terracotta figurines, Ying Zheng carefully observed the terracotta figurines.

"Sir, why did the seniors let the widows imitate these terracotta warriors before they could enter the next layer?" Ying Zheng voiced his doubts.

"It doesn't hurt to tell the king now." Li Si said, "The Heavenly Inheritors of all dynasties need to build a mausoleum similar to the Tomb of King Wu, and people who are not the successors of the Heavenly Inheritance are not allowed to enter. ”

"This has been the case throughout the ages?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise.

Li Si nodded and said, "The original intention was to store Jiuding. Later, there were more and more inherited things of Tiancheng, and Jiuding had already been made public to the world, so Jiuding was placed on the earthly court, and the tomb of Tiancheng stored other things of Tiancheng. ”

"Tiancheng... The Tomb..."Ying Zheng muttered in a low voice.

The royal tomb is so big, how could it not let go of these few objects.

Lees continued: "Since the king is the new heir of heaven, then he must also build such a mausoleum. ”

Ying Zheng's eyes were shocked, and he was surprised and delighted: "The widow has long had the idea of building an imperial mausoleum with a huge scale that is not easy to be invaded. Unexpectedly, the predecessors of Tiancheng before him had already done this. It's just that this nine-story mausoleum must be very complicated, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to build. ”

"This is also the intention of the master to let the king imitate the terracotta warriors." Li Si said seriously, "When the king gradually imitates the relevant part of the mausoleum, it will be easy to build this mausoleum." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said firmly: "Okay! Then follow the will of the predecessors, gradually imitate the construction, and unseal layer by layer. ”

The previous grievances are gone, and Ying Zheng's desire for the entire ancient book has become the driving force, and he has become more and more interested in the construction of this mausoleum.

"It's just that how to transport this terracotta warrior back." Ying Zheng said: "If you let the sergeants come to carry it, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." ”

"The king doesn't have to worry, the soldiers outside, the grass people will find a way to transport them back to the city, and they can be placed there for the time being." Lees said.

"What is the use of this terracotta warrior for the mausoleum?" Ying Zheng asked again.

"Well, the grass people don't know." Lees said.

Ying Zheng didn't dwell too much on this problem, looked at the flame on the spare torch that had become weak, and said, "The torch can't last much time, let's go back." ”

The two of them said yes, and then one after the other, escorting Yingzheng back the same way.

After walking out of the big stone gate outside the mouth, and converging with the second and third watches, several people turned over and ran in the direction of Xianyang City.

After entering the city gate, Jing Liang did not go to the palace with Yingzheng, but said goodbye to everyone and walked in the direction of Wen Liangju.

Back in the dormitory, Lü Buwei waited outside the gate, and Lü Wen and Lü Wu stood on both sides of Lü Buwei.

Ying Zheng dismounted, handed the horse to Zhao Gao, and then glanced at Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao saluted Lü Buwei, and then led the two horses away.

After Lü Buwei and the three of them saluted Yingzheng, Li Si also saluted Lü Buwei.

Ying Zheng and Lü Buwei entered the study, and the others did not follow.

Ying Zheng asked, "The middle father came to find the widow, but is there something important?" ”

"Your Majesty, the site for the construction of the new dormitory has been chosen, the materials have been prepared, and the craftsmen required by the king have been assembled." Lü Buwei said, "The old minister wants to ask the king when the construction will start. ”

When he saw Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng guessed his intention: "Start construction immediately, didn't the middle father say in front of the Queen Mother that it would be completed within two months." ”

"Okay, then we'll get started." Lu Buwei said, "The construction of this new dormitory will be handed over to Lu Wen and Lu Wu, if others supervise it, the old minister is a little worried." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Then it depends on the will of the middle father." In addition, the widow wanted to build several secret rooms to store some personal belongings. ”

"What is the king's store?" Lü Buwei asked.

"Store some calligraphy and paintings of the ancients, handwriting, or something." Ying Zheng said playfully, "Perhaps, a few secret rooms are a bit small, let's just build a treasure pavilion similar to the one in the middle father's mansion." ”

Ying Zheng used a half-joking way to avoid Lu Buwei's questioning.

The minister's house has its own treasure cabinet, and the king wants to build a few secret rooms, but he has to be questioned.

Lu Buwei arched his hand embarrassedly and said, "The king is making fun of the old minister. ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "The widow is joking, don't mind the middle father." ”

"Your Majesty, Cheng Huan has already ordered all the soldiers and horses, prepared the grain and grass, and is ready to go." Lü Buwei took the initiative to change the topic.

"Oh? So fast? Ying Zheng was a little surprised, it only took two days to prepare 80,000 military horses, which is not so simple.

"It's not surprising that when he learned that the king was going to attack Wei, he was already preparing." Lu Buwei said.

"It seems that he is really eager to go on the expedition." Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to understand." Lu Buwei said.

"Father, please speak." Ying Zheng saw that Lu Buwei was so solemn, so he made a gesture of please.

"At that day's court meeting, how did the king see through Korea's strategy of offering canals and exhausting Qin, and also exposed the conspiracy of Zhao, Wei, and Han?" Lu Buwei asked admittedly.

"What's so hard about that?" Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The widow just thinks that with the strength of the Wei State itself, he should not have the courage to pretend to be the Chu State to assassinate, and the relationship between Zhao, Han and Wei is extraordinary, so the widow deceived that Zheng Guo." Who knows, it really made the widow guess it. ”

Because of Li Si's special status, Ying Zheng certainly wouldn't say that it was Li Si's suggestion, but let Lü Buwei pay attention to Li Si.

"It seems that the old minister is really old, and he didn't even notice the sinister intentions of the three Jins." Lu Buwei had a gloomy face and said, "I almost missed a big thing." ”

"The middle father doesn't have to blame himself, the conspiracy of the three Jin is a long-term plan, and there must be very few people who know." Ying Zheng said.

Lu Buwei nodded and said: "Over the years, there have been many people sent out by the Lu Mansion to be guests in various countries, and they are secretly collecting news from various countries, but they have not received any news about this matter. ”

Ying Zheng frowned and asked, "Did the middle father mean that the Lu Mansion sent a lot of spies to various countries?" ”

Lu Buwei didn't understand why Yingzheng had this expression, and said in response: "Yes, is there anything wrong?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Ying Zheng said, "It's just that the widow suddenly thought that the same method, if the middle father can use it, then all countries can also use it." ”

Lü Buwei's face was worried: "Does the king mean that the countries will also send a lot of spies to the mansions of Great Qin to act as doormen?" ”

"Why not?" Ying Zheng asked rhetorically.

"The big war is coming, so the old minister will go back and investigate in detail." Lü Buwei made a gesture of farewell.

"There is Lao Zhong's father." Yingzheng sent Lü Buwei out of the door.

After Lü Buwei left, Li Si entered the door.

"Your Majesty, have you placed the things you have retrieved today?" Lees asked.

"Everything was placed on the widow's horse, and Zhao Gao led the horse into the door, without letting Lu Buwei notice." Ying Zheng said.

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Gao walked into the study from the outside, holding a cloth bag in his hand and a cloth bag on his shoulder.

"Your Majesty, you have brought them all in." Zhao Gao said.

"Put it in the inner room of the study." Ying Zheng said, "In the future, the widow's couch and the inner room of the study, without the widow's summons, no one except Mr. will enter, including you." ”

Zhao held something in his hand, but did not give it up, but just bowed down and responded: "Yes, king." ”

Zhao Gao put the cloth bag in the inner room, went out of the door, and guarded the outer door.

Ying Zheng untied the cloth bag containing the Xuanyuan Sword, carefully held the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, and said, "Sir, do you know what is different about this Xuanyuan Sword?" ”

After speaking, Ying Zheng drew his sword out of the sheath.

In the sun, the light is different from in the tomb, and the golden sword body appears more dazzling, more holy, and more noble.

"The grass people only saw this sword for the first time yesterday, how different, find a saber, and you will know it when you try it." After saying that, Li Si walked to the outer room of the study and came back with a saber.

Li Si drew his sword and said, "Your Majesty, please fight the sword with the grass people." ”

"Okay." Ying Zheng walked across from Li Si and took a posture of facing his sword.

"Yike...... Scold! Ying Zheng shouted and swung his sword at Li Si.

Li Si was unhurried and raised his sword to meet the attack.

Listening to the sound of boring, the two switched positions, raised their swords and looked again.

The Xuanyuan Sword is still so domineering, the edge of the blade is still sharp, and there is no damage in sight.

Looking at the saber in Li Si's hand again, where it collided with the Xuanyuan sword, a deep dent appeared.

Ying Zheng put down his sword and walked over to check the dent on the sword in Li Si's hand.

"Yes, it can hurt the widow's sword to this extent." Ying Zheng said, "You must know that the sword of the widow is several times tougher than the sword of an ordinary sergeant. ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people didn't resist hard." Li Si said, "If you use force, or change the grass people to attack, I'm afraid that this sword will already be broken." ”

"Oh?" Ying Zheng was a little surprised and said, "Come, this time you will attack the widow." ”

"Okay." Li Si responded and raised the sword in his hand.

Ying Zheng held his sword in both hands and assumed a defensive posture.

"Your Majesty, look at the sword!" Li Si waved his arm and slashed at Yingzheng.

......

Another crunch.

I saw the tip of a broken sword nearly a foot long, spinning and flying out, hitting the wall and falling to the ground.

Ying Zheng stepped forward and picked up the remnant sword, his face shocked.

"This Xuanyuan Sword really lives up to its name!" Ying Zheng sighed.

"Legend has it that although the material and production process of this Xuanyuan Sword are slightly better than 'my weapon', in terms of the performance of killing enemies, the Xuanyuan Sword is inferior to 'my weapon'." Lees said.

This sentence aroused Ying Zheng's infinite expectations for "my instrument", but it is a pity that the "Book of Changes" has only been rolled on, and it must not be able to translate the complete text on the tortoise shell and animal bones.

"As for these two ancient books." Li Si said, "It can only be understood by the king himself." ”

"Well, during this time, the widow has devoted himself to studying these two ancient books." Ying Zheng said.

"The grass people still have to go to Wenluoju, so they won't bother the king much." Li Si arched his hand and said.

Ying Zheng nodded, he estimated that the old man in white was still in the city nine times out of ten, and Li Si was going to go on an errand with Jing Liang.

After Li Si left, Ying Zheng wrapped the Xuanyuan Sword and put it in the dark grid with the "Agricultural Food Classic", together with a few previous things, and then took out the tortoise shell and animal bones.

Ying Zheng opened the box containing the "Book of Changes" with a snail, took out the upper volume of the "Book of Changes", and looked at it carefully.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng's cold sweat flowed down.

Although it is a dictionary, most of the translations of those ancient symbols are not known to Yingzheng.

After all, the Book of Changes is something from thousands of years ago, and the writing at that time was not the same as that of the Qin State. And the scripts are very different from country to country, and it is impossible to say which country has a certain character that is the same as the ancient script.

Do you have to learn the languages of all countries?

Thinking of this problem, Ying Zheng's head became two big.

But after thinking about it a little, Ying Zheng took it into account.

Yingzheng now has two convenient conditions to use, one is the princess of various countries, and the other is Wenzhu. All he had to do was copy the words of other countries that he couldn't understand, and then ask people from all over the world who knew the characters.

Ying Zheng looked at the thin pages made of bronze page by page, and transcribed the characters he knew and the corresponding symbols.

On the second day, the military field was pointed.

Cheng Huan was dressed in bright silver armor, riding a high-headed horse majestically, standing on a high place, looking at the 80,000 soldiers.

"All the soldiers......" Cheng Huan shouted loudly, "I think everyone already knows that the Wei State is pretending to be the name of the Chu State and wants to assassinate my king." Therefore, this marshal was ordered by my king to lead the army to crusade, which is bound to make Wei cut the city to make amends, so as to calm the anger of my king. ”

"Kill, kill, kill!!" 80,000 soldiers shouted in unison, and the power shook the sky.

Cheng Huan looked back at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng nodded to Cheng Huan.

Cheng Huan drew her sword and shouted, "Attack Wei in the east, go!" ”

80,000 horses marched towards the east in an orderly manner.

Watching the army go away, Ying Zheng felt some indescribable feelings in his heart, and a trace of bad premonition flashed through his heart.
