Taibai Mountain, which is said to be the highest peak in the Qinling Mountains, is not very far from Xianyang.

Lü Buwei provided Yingzheng with the location of several minerals, two of which were located in the area of Taibai Mountain.

Another reason why Ying Zheng chose to go here is that the minerals provided by Sima Hong are located, two of which are near Qishan.

Qishan and Yongcheng are less than 100 miles apart, and Yingzheng wants to take the five ladies to Yongcheng to visit the Queen Mother.

This is also the etiquette that should be.

By the way, you can also observe Chang Yu, after all, Li Si has already reminded Yingzheng to beware of Chang Yu.

Because the Gucheng Palace had been built, Lü Wen and Lü Wu had completed the task, so they were sent by Lü Buwei to assist Yingzheng in prospecting for mines and opening mountains.

The Lu brothers did their best in the process of building the Gucheng Palace, so that the project was completed quickly and well, and the craftsmen of the Jingjia class also praised the two brothers well, which made Ying Zheng have a very good impression of them, if they were not Lu Buwei's cronies, they might be reused in the future.

Lu Wen and Lu Wu led the way in the front, controlling the speed of the march.

But what really determines the speed of travel is the five wives of Yingzheng.

Hu Yu doesn't like to ride in carriages, and has always ridden horses by himself.

The other four ladies sat separately in the two carriages, and sometimes when they were tired, they stopped to rest, and when they were tired of the carriages, they changed horses and rode them.

More than several ladies affect the speed of travel, is Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng would enter this carriage and laugh with the two ladies for a while, then get into another carriage and talk with the other two ladies for a while, and then jump on the horse and accompany Hu Yu on horseback.

"Your Majesty, hunting?" Hu Yu squinted his eyebrows and looked at Ying Zheng.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't bet with the widow?" Ying Zheng also looked at Hu Yu with slanted eyebrows.

"The concubine just said hunting, but she didn't say she wanted to bet." Hu Yu's expression was a little helpless.

Ying Zheng smiled awkwardly and said, "If it's just the two of us, it's still not safe, it's better to let the army rest, let's call Meng Tian and them to hunt some game together and try it." ”

"Okay!" Hu Yu said happily, "The king does not compare with me, I compare with them." ”

Ying Zheng: "......"

The team was stopped, and Ying Zheng ordered Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers to accompany the safari.

Ying Zheng didn't use a longbow for the sake of face, but brought a flying crossbow.

Lü Wen and Lü Wu heard that Ying Zheng ordered the whole army to rest, because they were going to hunt nearby, so they stopped the team in front of them and rode to the main camp.

Seeing that the brothers of the Lu family also came, Yingzheng was interested and said: "It's just right to come back, the brothers of your two families, let's compare with each other to see who can hunt birds and beasts first, and who can return with a full load." ”

The brothers of the Meng family and the brothers of the Lu family, the four of them gave up their orders and drove their horses away.

"Take me with you." Hu Yu waved his whip and rode his horse to follow.

Ying Zheng shook his head with a wry smile, and also drove his horse to follow.

A group of flying horsemen and guards quickly followed.

With the experience of the last time, who would dare to lose Yingzheng again.

The Meng family brothers, the Lu family brothers, the four of them competed in archery.

Among them, only Meng Yi used a flying crossbow, probably to test the shooting effect of the flying crossbow, and Ying Zheng, who followed behind, also used a flying crossbow, but because he knew that his archery skills were not proficient.

The two brothers in front of them soon dispersed, each looking for their own target, and after a while, the sound of arrows began to sound from different directions.

Ying Zhengben didn't have much heart to hunt, glanced at Hu Yu a few times, and began to observe the two brothers of the Lu family.

What is surprising is that the archery skills of the Lu family brothers are extremely exquisite, especially Lu Wu, who is almost a hundred shots. Ying Zheng thought that Meng Tian's archery skills were already very high, but compared to Lu Wu, it was still a little worse.

After Hu Yu hunted and killed two rabbits, he also discovered this, so he turned the horse's head and returned to Yingzheng.

"Your Majesty, it seems that this Lu Wu's archery skills are not ordinarily good, this name is not wrong." Hu Yu said with a grin.

"The widow didn't expect this Lu Wu to be so good." Ying Zheng sighed.

"That Lu Wen is not bad, it seems that he is not much different from Meng Tian." Hu Yu was still smiling

"It seems that Daqin is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." ”

Ying Zheng's face had no expression: "It's a pity, their surname is Lu." ”

Hu Yu also put away his smile: "Your Majesty, are you worried about Lu Xiangbang, and these two people may become a disaster in the future." ”

Ying Zheng looked at Hu Yu, but a charming smile appeared on his face: "These things, don't worry about Mrs. Lao, you just need to get the fetus safe and give birth to a prince for the widow smoothly." ”

After that, Ying Zheng scraped the tip of Hu Yu's nose with his fingers.

A touch of delicate red, now next to his cheeks, Hu Yu became shy, it really had another flavor.

"Your Majesty, shall we compare arrows?" Hu Yu changed the subject.

Ying Zheng spread his hands and said: "Didn't the widow admit defeat a long time ago, if you want to compare, you will compete with Lu Wu." ”

"I'm not going." Hu Yu pursed his lips and said, "I know that I can't win, what is it better than?" ”

Ying Zheng: "......"

This is a special soft persimmon pinch.

Ying Zheng didn't want Hu Yu to move more, so the two stopped hunting, but just followed the two pairs of brothers to watch the performance.

Meng Tian also observed the movements of the Lu family brothers at any time, and saw that there was no hope of victory, so he turned the horse's head, called Meng Yi, took the prey, and returned to Yingzheng's side.

Ying Zheng also waved his hand and called the Lu family brothers back.

The Lu brothers hunted a lot of things, and the horses couldn't bear them, so they drove the horses over and a few sergeants carried those prey.

"I didn't expect Brother Lu Wu's archery skills to be so good." Meng Tian praised with his hand.

Lu Wu bowed his hand and saluted: "Brother Meng Tian has a good reputation, and his archery skills are not worth mentioning. ”

"Brother Lu Wen is not bad." Meng Yi continued, "Your brother won. ”

"Ashamed, ashamed." Lu Wen also bowed.

Hu Yu looked at the prey carried back by the sergeants, and muttered, "Fortunately, I and the king did not participate in the competition. ”

Ying Zheng looked at Hu Yu a little embarrassed, changed the topic, and said, "It's not early, let's go back and find a place to camp." ”

Everyone responded in unison and escorted Yingzheng back to the Chinese army.

The Lu brothers led the guards forward for a distance and found a water source, and then ordered to set up camp.

Meng Tian ordered people to quickly set up Ying Zheng's Chinese army tent, so that Ying Zheng could rest in advance, and then send sentry posts to the four sides.

Meng Yi ordered people to make a fire and cook, and sent a team of sergeants to hunt back some prey and distribute it to the sergeants.

In the evening, piles of bonfires are lit, on which all kinds of meat are roasted, water or vegetables are boiled.

The dinner party began, and Ying Zheng was flanked by his five wives, as well as Zhao Gao.

Further on the left are the Meng brothers and Li Si, and on the right are the Lu brothers and the two brothers of the second and third watches.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Ying Zheng picked up the wine, looked left and right, and said, "Today, the widow and the five ladies travel, fortunately you are well-protected, the widow is very peaceful, on the occasion of this beautiful day, let's drink wine together, a drunk party." ”

"Please, Your Majesty!" The brothers of the Meng family and the brothers of the Lu family said in unison.

"." After that, Yingzheng raised the wine and drank it all.

"." The two brothers also drank it all at once.

"Hahaha, happy." Ying Zheng wiped the corners of his mouth and said.

"Yes, there is no control from the elders, happy." Meng Tian said.

"Yes, you can drink a lot of wine, and have a good time." Meng Yi said.

"You can drink with the king, and be happy." Lu Wen said.

"You can hunt as much as you want, and have fun." Lu Wu said.

After a few glasses of wine, the brothers of the Lu family, who have always been cautious in their words and deeds, seem to have let go of their hands and feet.

"I didn't expect that Brother Lu Wu's archery skills are so good." Meng Tian raised his glass, "Brother toasts the two elder brothers." ”

"Please." Lu Wen and Lu Wu replied.

The three of them drank it all again.

Nan Su stood up, came to Lu Wen and Lu Wu's table with the wine lord, and said lightly: "Nan Su Dai sisters, thank you for your work in building the Gucheng Palace, but because you are pregnant, you can only replace wine with tea, two please." ”

Lu Wen and Lu Wu hurriedly got up and drank the wine in Juezhong.

Ying Zheng suddenly realized, and said: "If it weren't for Mrs. reminding, the widow would have forgotten about it, the credit for the construction of the ancient Cheng Palace, the widow was negligent for a while because of the wedding, what reward do you brother want, you might as well say it directly." ”

Lu Wen arched his hand and said: "Building a dormitory for the king is a matter within the responsibility of the ministers, and I dare not ask for credit." ”

"My brother can serve the king, it is a blessing from cultivation, how dare I be rewarded." Lu Wu also arched his hand and said.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Didn't I say just now, there are no elders here, so why be polite." The widow will reward you with two hundred more households and a thousand loads of grain, and when you return to Xianyang, you will choose some porcelain and give it to you. ”

Lu Wu was about to shirk, but Lu Wen pulled the corner of his clothes.

Lu Wu comprehended, followed Lu Wen out, knelt on one knee, and saluted and thanked: "Weichen thanks the king for his gift." ”

The brothers of the Lu family live in Lu Xiangfu, and rewarding them is to reward Lu Buwei, which is also to add color to Lu Buwei.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi held up the wine at the same time: "Congratulations to the two brothers." ”

Li Si and Zhao Gao also raised their glasses at the same time and said, "Congratulations, congratulations." ”

Lu Wen and Lu Wu raised the wine lord again and said, "Thank you." ”

Everyone toasted together.

Ying Zheng looked at the Lu family brothers and said: "When the widow returned to the Qin State, he saw the two of them, and he thought that you were the flesh and blood of the middle father, but later I learned that this was not the case, I don't know how the two met the middle father?" ”

Lü Wen and Lü Wu are Lü Buwei's closest people, and Ying Zheng wants to take this opportunity to dig up some information.

Lu Wu is strong in martial arts, but his mouth is stupid, and he subconsciously looked at Lu Wen.

Lu Wen looked at Li Si inadvertently and said: "In front of the king, I don't dare to bully the king, I and Lu Wu are brothers, but Lu Xiangbang's nephew, born in Qi State." ”

"Green Sword Fairy"

"Qi Guo?" Ying Zheng was slightly surprised, "In this way, you are all Qi people." ”

"Not bad." Lü Wen said, "But I and Lü Wu both died when they were young, and they were helpless, but fortunately they were adopted by their uncle, and later, they followed their uncle to the Qin State. ”

"I see." Ying Zheng said, "I have never heard my father mention this matter. ”

Lu Wen subconsciously looked at Li Si again, and then arched his hand and said: "Uncle, he hopes that we will rely on our own ability to eat, not rely on his power, so he will not disclose this relationship to the public, otherwise, those who tend to be inflammatory, will regard my two brothers as the heirs of the Lu family, so as to blindly curry favor." ”

I have to say that Lü Buwei is very wise and well-educated at this point.

Li Si also looked at Lu Wen, his eyes were quite meaningful.

At this time, Mrs. Lan Ting stood up and came to the Lu family brothers with a wine lord: "Since the two of you are Qi people, we can also be regarded as old acquaintances in another country, and Lan Ting also toasts the two of you with a glass." ”

"You're welcome, ma'am." Lu Wu said, and the two brothers drank it all again.

But no one saw that while the two of them were drinking with their heads up, a hint of strangeness flashed in their eyes.

Ying Zheng saw that his wife took turns to toast the Lu family brothers, so he said: "I heard that the widow has already married, I don't know if you have any heirs now?" ”

Lu Wen wiped the corners of his mouth and arched his hand: "Back to the king, Weichen has an eldest son under his knees, who is four years old this year, and a young daughter, who is just two years old this year. ”

"Okay, okay." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Then the widow will give each of your children a pair of long-life locks, hoping that they will grow up safely." ”

"Thank you, the king." The Lu family brothers said in unison.

The two brothers of the Meng family knew that Yingzheng was testing them, so they cooperated and toasted another glass of wine.

"What are the names of those two children, the widow master has engraved their names on the longevity lock." Ying Zheng said.

"Back to the king, the eldest son's name is Lu Ze, and the youngest daughter's name is Lu Pheasant." Lu Wen replied.

"Lu Ze, Lu Pheasant......" Ying Zheng muttered, "It's all good names, come, drink." ”

"Please!" Everyone raised their glasses.

But I didn't know that the name that Ying Zheng was talking about became a key figure in Chinese history decades later.
