If you want to say that Ying Zheng is busy, there is another person who is busier than Ying Zheng.

This person is Zhao Gao.

Every time Ying Zheng goes to a place, he will leave Zhao Gao with a lot of things to do.

Picking spring water, looking for resin, repairing the ancient Chenggong, and now repairing the pottery kiln factory, as well as ...... Pick up the families of the craftsmen......

In the past, Ying Zheng consulted with Zhao Gao on everything. And now, Ying Zheng never explained the reason to him, but arranged things for him one after another, which also made Zhao Gao's heart gradually worried.

After collecting the letters from the craftsmen, Zhao Gao did not leave, but stood by Yingzheng's side.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao, smiled and said, "What, do you have something to say to the widow?" ”

Zhao Gao knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Since the return of Qishan, the king has been very busy, and the slaves intend to share the burden for the king, but they don't know what to do. ”

As soon as Zhao Gao said this, Ying Zheng understood what he was thinking.

In the past, Yingzheng discussed everything with Zhao Gao, but now, Zhao Gao only has the share of running errands. This sense of disparity made Zhao Gao feel uncomfortable.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The widow knows that many things the widow is doing now have not consulted with you or told you why. Because there are a lot of secrets in it, I can't let you know about it yet. ”

"Secret matters, the slaves naturally don't bother." Zhao Gao said, "But if the slave is often not by the king's side, I am afraid that no one will be able to serve the king thoughtfully." ”

Ying Zheng shook his head with a wry smile and said: "What the widow arranged for you to do, you did your best, as for whether you should be involved in some things, wait for the widow to think about it." Cheng Huan has already committed treason, and now the widow's brother is the only one left. ”

Zhao Gao heard Ying Zheng say this, and his heart was moved, and he knew that Ying Zheng understood what he meant, so he was no longer entangled.

"Go and arrange the affairs of the potters." Ying Zheng paused and said, "Also, arrange the guards on the side of the Wuwang Mausoleum, prepare three more horses, prepare more torches, and tomorrow afternoon, the widow will go to the Wuwang Mausoleum." ”

"The slave receives the king's command." Zhao Gao bowed his hand and withdrew.

Ying Zheng sighed softly, it's not that he doesn't want to take Zhao Gao with him in everything, it's just that he can't help himself, now that Jing Liang is about to leave, Ying Zheng needs a helper even more.

After Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng entered the inner room of the study again.

These days, I am afraid that the time for planting raw grain seeds will be delayed, so Ying Zheng and Li Si have been busy straightening out the "Agricultural and Food Classics".

And now that the Chinese font library is in hand, it is time to study the Book of Changes.

Although there is only the upper part, you should also prepare in advance, otherwise you will be in a hurry when you have collected the three "I Ching".

For the arrangement of the "Book of Changes", it is far more difficult than the "Book of Grains", and many of those ancient symbols seem to be very similar, and if you don't look closely, some of them can't even find the difference.

And the most difficult part is that Ying Zheng doesn't dare to transcribe the above content, if it is seen by others, it will be troublesome, after all, even Li Si does not dare to help him.

Ying Zheng, who calmed down, forgot the time again and entered the mode of literacy and hyphenation.

When it was close to noon the next day, Ying Zheng and Li Si came to the pottery kiln factory again.

Jing Fan and Jing Liang were directing some people to carry stones down from the cart, apparently sent by Zhao Gao to repair the pottery kiln factory.

Seeing that Yingzheng was coming, the two stepped forward and bowed.

"How?" Ying Zheng took the lead in asking, "Are the terracotta figurines imitated?" ”

"Back to the king, with the help of the Jing Liang brothers, the process of making the terracotta warriors went smoothly." Jing Fan said with a smile on his lips.

"Lead the widow to see." Ying Zheng couldn't wait to move forward.

Jing Fan led a few people to a room, where several terracotta warriors were placed.

One of them is noticeably darker.

Jing Fan pointed to the darker-colored terracotta warrior and said, "Your Majesty, this one is an imitation of the terracotta warriors. ”

Ying Zheng stepped forward and walked around the terracotta warrior slowly, taking a closer look.

"Except for the slightly different expression from the broken one, the others are basically the same." Jing Fan said.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and asked, "Mr. come and take a look, is it okay?" ”

Li Si smiled and said, "Jing Liang has helped, is it possible that it won't work?" ”

"So that's a pass?" Ying Zheng asked.

Li Si still walked over, touched the terracotta warrior, and said, "Originally, the difficulty of this first level was not great, but it was just for the king to try to get into the rhythm." ”

The black line on Ying Zheng's face, Li Si is clearly hinting that it will be more and more difficult in the future.

Jing Fan was covered with a face, and he couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

Ying Zheng turned around and said to Jing Fan: "In the future, maybe you won't get help from others anymore, if the widow still needs you to imitate something, or even this thing has never been seen, do you have the confidence to complete it?" ”

Jing Fan hesitated slightly, and arched his hand and said: "If it weren't for the difficulty of Jiuding, it would not be a problem to be confident." ”

"What if it's more difficult than Jiuding?" Ying Zheng asked with a wry smile.

"This ......" Jing Fan lost his confidence.

"Hehe, the widow is joking with you, don't care." Ying Zheng said.

What Ying Zheng said to Jing Fan was actually reminding himself that the Tomb of King Wu has nine floors, and who knows what will come out of the innermost one.

Jing Liang walked over and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, since the matter of the Terracotta Warriors has come to an end, the next step is to send someone to repair it, and we should also set off." ”

"Okay, let's go." Ying Zheng nodded and said.

Jing Fan sent the three out of the gate, and the three flew on their horses and rode away to the north.

Ying Zheng's speed on horseback is not very fast, and Li Si and Jing Liang are also at the same speed.

"Brother Jing." Ying Zheng looked at Jing Liang and asked, "Yesterday you said that after accompanying the widow into the second floor, he would leave?" ”

Jing Liang nodded and said, "If nothing happens, I'll leave today." ”

"Today? In such a hurry? Ying Zheng didn't expect it, but he didn't delay for a moment.

"Has the king forgotten about Cheng Huan?" Jing Liang said, "According to the time, presumably Wang Qian's army is about to confront Cheng Huan's rebels, and with General Wang Qian's style, coupled with Changping Jun's strategy, it will definitely be resolved quickly, so there is no delay." ”

After speaking, Jing Liang took out a small package from his arms and handed it to Ying Zheng.

"What is this?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It's a red elixir, didn't you say yesterday that there are still some to give to the king?" Jing Liang said.

Ying Zheng took the package, looked at it, and then carefully carried it in his arms.

"Sir." Ying Zheng turned his head to Li Si and said, "Now that Brother Jing is leaving the Qin Kingdom, have your predecessors sent others over to help the widow?" ”

Li Si shook his head: "Before the master left, he didn't mention this matter, and I don't think there will be anyone else." ”

"Can the widow choose someone he trusts to help the widow?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Yes, yes, but you have to be in good measure." Lees said.

"Similar to the Sima family, tell him the grain seed and planting method, without explaining the reason, isn't it okay?" Ying Zheng then asked.

Li Si nodded and said, "That's naturally no problem." ”

"Okay." Ying Zheng stopped talking, and was calculating in his heart.

The speed of the three of them increased a little, and before they knew it, they had come to the checkpoint they had passed by last time.

Jing Liang showed the token, and the sergeant major of the foreman ordered the sergeants to let them go.

Jing Liang did not put away the token, but handed it into Li Si's hands.

Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng's heart couldn't help but feel lonely again.

Feeling a little less nervous and excited about entering the Tomb of King Wu for the first time before, Ying Zheng followed Jing Liang and Li Si to the first floor of the Tomb of King Wu.

The first layer of the Tomb of King Wu has not changed at all, and it is unlikely that anything has changed.

is still Jing Liang in front, Ying Zheng and Li Si in the back.

Blue flames danced in the direction of the trio, passing through the array of terracotta warriors, and the three of them once again stood beside several coffins.

Unlike last time, Jing Liang did not silently open any mechanism, but pointed to these coffins and said, "Your Majesty, there are several coffins like this on every floor of King Wu's Mausoleum. ”

Ying Zheng approached the coffin that Jing Liang pointed to, and approached the coffin with a blue flame, wanting to take a closer look.

"And the tip side of this coffin points to this layer of mechanism." Jing Liang pointed to the side of the mountain wall to which the coffin was pointing.

"The last time I came, the widow had already seen it." Ying Zheng said with a slight bow.

"What the king saw was the mechanism for entering the secret room." Jing Liang said, "And these coffins, most of which correspond to different organs. ”

"Oh? How many coffins correspond to the mechanism? Ying Zheng was surprised.

"The king must remember that no matter what, do not open or even touch the mechanism corresponding to the outermost two coffins." Jing Liang said solemnly.

Ying Zheng was a little nervous and asked, "Presumably, the two sides are the deadly organs." ”

Jing Liang nodded and continued: "For those who are outside, it is a life-threatening mechanism, but for those who are in the secret room, it is an escape mechanism. ”

"Then these two mechanisms can also be opened in the secret room?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Of course, you can, but the king doesn't need to know about it yet." After Jing Liang finished speaking, he walked to the front of the coffin next to the coffin that opened the secret room, and then walked in a straight line to the front of the mountain wall.

"This coffin corresponds to the mechanism that goes to the next floor." With that, Jing Liang turned around and twisted a stone down.

Ying Zheng walked over very consciously, took out the black iron snail, and put it into the mechanism.

After waiting for a few breaths, there was no movement.

Ying Zheng was just about to open his mouth to inquire, only to hear a loud noise on the ground behind him.

Ying Zheng turned to look and saw a square stone platform raised from the ground.

Jing Liang pulled Yingzheng onto the stone platform, and Li Si also stood on it.

Chirping...... Chirping...... Rattle......

The upturned stone platform slowly sank downward.

Ying Zheng grabbed Jing Liang's hand and didn't dare to let go, for fear that the stone platform he was standing on would suddenly fall.

As the stone platform fell, the heads of the three people had sunk to the ground.

After descending another distance of about a kilometer, the stone platform came to a halt with a rattle.

I saw that one side of the stone platform was leaning against the mountain wall, one end of the side was connected to a row of stone stairs, and the other two sides were exposed.

Jing Liang pulled Yingzheng down the stone steps, and Li Si still walked behind.

The slope of the stone staircase was not large, and there were not many steps, and soon the three of them came to the ground of the second layer.

Ying Zheng looked back at the stone platform that sent him down, and saw that the stone platform was connected to the mountain below, and he couldn't see what the structure was.

Jing Liang let go of Yingzheng and continued to walk forward with a torch.

Ying Zheng didn't think about the stone platform anymore, and followed with a blue torch.

When the blue light illuminated the second layer of space, Ying Zheng was stunned.

The scene in front of me turned out to be exactly the same as the first floor, giving people the feeling of returning to the first floor.
