Chapter 143: The Gambling Contract
Ying Zheng and Li Si jumped on Xi's back for a whole day, and the places they passed were extremely secret, and they were all near the place where the fire eye was, and they were not worried about being discovered by Ying Zheng's army.
Although the speed of the night is relatively fast, every place you visit, you will introduce in detail how far this place is from the eye of the fire, what the rock formations in the middle are like, whether there is a river passing nearby, and what the water temperature is.
Around the eye of the fire, there are many underground rivers, most of which are warm water, and there are many impurities, which cannot be drunk.
Ying Zheng listened very carefully, and Li Si drew a brief map with a pen, marking each place he visited, and recording the main terrain information.
On the way, I also passed by the secret room where the "I weapon" of the divine soldier was stored.
Ying Zheng carefully inspected the location of this secret room and the ground below, and found that it was especially suitable as an entrance to the construction of the royal tomb.
Xi also told Ying Zheng that Jairian had mentioned that the reason why the Yellow Emperor built the secret room here was because the feng shui of this place was the best in Lishan, and the aura and natural energy were also abundant.
Ying Zheng doesn't know what aura and natural energy are, and he doesn't know how abundant it can be, in short, the choice of the ancestors will not be wrong.
"Just choose here, the widow ordered the road to the cave to be blocked, and a forbidden place was set up, and no one was allowed to cross the border." Ying Zheng made a decision.
"Then you can only turn over from the valley on the other side." Lees said.
"That's no way, let's open a road to the outside first, after all, we still need to transport tools and materials." Ying Zheng said.
The location was initially decided, and Li Si took advantage of the fact that it was still dark, and hurriedly marked the terrain here.
"Senior, can you send the two of us to the other side of the mountain?" Ying Zheng looked at Xi and asked.
"No problem, this year can still help you get out of the way, so as not to trouble you when you come up." Xi said.
Ying Zheng felt that this would save trouble, so he responded: "Okay." ”
The two jumped into the valley from the other side. If you encounter a dense forest, you will directly break the tree.
In this way, a "road" appeared in the valley.
After climbing over a mountain beam again, he was already close to Meng Tian's garrison, and then put Ying Zheng and Li Si down.
"You can only go here, this part of the road, you can go by yourself." With that, Yuki turned around and jumped away.
Although the body is big, Xi is very flexible, and what is even more puzzling is that the sound when it lands is not big, and it is really a monster.
"Thank you, senior." Before Ying Zheng could finish speaking, he had disappeared.
Leaving in such a hurry, is it because you are worried about those cattle and sheep?
"Let's go, Your Majesty." Lees said.
Ying Zheng turned his head and his heart tightened.
Xi said that you could see the garrison when you climbed the hill in front, but why was this hill so high and steep.
Yes, if it weren't so high and steep, would it be able to isolate the world inside?
Ying Zheng looked at the sky that was getting dark, gritted his teeth, and followed Li Si towards the top of the mountain.
An hour later, it was completely dark, and the two of them finally reached the top of the mountain.
Ying Zhengda gasped and sat on the ground to rest.
Li Si sat next to Ying Zheng, and with an unusually calm face, he took out some dry food from his arms and handed it to Ying Zheng: "Eat something, your majesty, I guess you have eaten everything you brought at noon." ”
Ying Zheng was indeed hungry, so he took the dry food and ate it.
"Just trying to fill the stomachs of those two divine beasts, I will starve." Ying Zheng complained while eating.
"So, it's hard for dragons to get it right." Li Si took a sip of water and said, "The king's successive Heavenly Inheritance predecessors have all tried their best to get closer to the Dragon Clan, so that today's situation has been achieved. ”
"yes." Ying Zheng sighed, "The widow also wants to try his best to have a good relationship with them, can you send so many cattle and sheep, you know."
These animals are enough for many people to feed for several days. But then again, sir, how long do you say those cows and sheep are enough for them? ”
"I can't say for sure." Li Si smiled and said, "It is said that their dragon beasts eat a lot of food, and they can eat food heavier than themselves at a time, but they can support themselves for several months without going hungry. ”
"This is much better than people." Ying Zheng looked at the dry food in his hand and laughed at himself, "If we can do the same, then we don't need to carry these dry foods." ”
"One day, your Majesty, you can do the same." Li Si said lightly.
Ying Zheng suddenly remembered that Li Si had told him that once a person's brain is developed, he will not feel hungry.
"But we are in the same vein, after all, we can't represent ordinary people." Ying Zheng said with some regret.
"No way, ordinary people, after all, ordinary people." Lees said.
"It is also a blessing to be able to use our efforts to let all ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment." Ying Zheng said.
"The king's heart is for the people, and it is the blessing of the people." Lees said.
"Hahaha." Both laughed at the same time.
While eating and chatting, Ying Zheng was already full and his physical strength had recovered a lot, and the two of them strode towards the barracks.
In the Chinese military tent, Meng Tian was walking around anxiously.
King Qin took a group of cattle and sheep into a cave, has not returned, sent soldiers to investigate around and there is no movement, there is no order from Yingzheng, Meng Tian did not dare to enter the cave, as soon as he heard the news of King Qin's return, Meng Tian hurriedly went out to greet him.
"Your Majesty, you have finally returned." Meng Tian breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Looking at Meng Tian's rather concerned look, Ying Zheng was moved in his heart, but he said: "In the morning, didn't the widow repeatedly tell you not to worry about the widow." ”
Meng Tian smiled and said, "That is what I said, but there is no trace of the king, and no one can help but worry. ”
The craftsmen next to him chimed in: "Yes, your majesty, just come back." ”
"We've been waiting for the king all day, and we've just been fetched."
"The king went into the cave from the west, but we did not expect that the king would come back from the east."
Let the craftsmen say this, Ying Zheng also felt a little unreasonable, so he had to say: "Let's go back to the camp, the widow is a little thirsty." ”
Only then did everyone get out of the way and hug Yingzheng back to the Chinese military tent.
After eating and drinking for a while, Ying Zheng saw that the craftsmen had not left, and knew that they were out of curiosity, and they would not leave if they did not explain.
"The widow tells you that the sheep and oxen that he brought with him today are for sacrifice." Ying Zheng said.
"Sacrifice?"
"To whom?"
"Is it the mountain god?"
Craftsmen, you mouthful, he asked.
"Didn't the widow say that the divine weapon 'my weapon' was found here." Ying Zheng pretended to be mysterious and said, "At that time, the widow felt that there seemed to be a god helping the widow in the dark, otherwise, how could he get the divine soldier so smoothly." ”
The craftsmen were immediately attracted by what Ying Zheng said, and they all widened their eyes and pricked up their ears.
"The widow promised at that time that if he was lucky enough to receive a divine soldier, he would definitely come back to worship." Ying Zheng continued, "And the widow's tomb will be built here to be protected by the gods." ”
Ying Zheng said it clearly, and even he was about to believe it.
But there is no way, if you don't say that, Jairus and Xi may be exposed at any time.
What's more, what Ying Zheng said was basically right, but he replaced Jairlight with a god.
"Your Majesty, have you seen that god?" Liu An asked.
"yes, have you seen it?" Several craftsmen asked together.
Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it, the last time I got the divine soldier, I only felt as if there was a god helping, but this sacrifice, I feel that the god really has it." ”
"Why
Is there really one this time? Meng Tian was also attracted and asked.
Ying Zheng cleared his throat and said: "Before, the widow got those few tortoiseshell beast bones, you all know about this, and then followed the above guidance, came here, followed the route of the map and found a secret room, and that secret room is a forbidden place, it is said that no one is allowed to enter. ”
This time, no one interrupted Yingzheng, and they all listened attentively.
"That's why the widow asked you to wait where you were, and the widow himself took those cattle and sheep to that secret room, although it may be hard, but it is enough to move the gods."
The craftsmen felt justified and nodded their heads.
"But strange to say, after the widow walked out of the hole, he was just about to gather the cattle and sheep, and saw that they seemed to know where to go, and one by one they lined up in the direction of the secret room."
The craftsmen, including Meng Tian, opened their mouths wide.
Li Si was behind everyone, and he couldn't help but laugh.
The widow thought that this would save him a lot of trouble, so he didn't think much about it, and followed the cattle and sheep forward. Sure enough, those cattle and sheep really lined up into the forbidden place. ”
The mouths of the craftsmen grew bigger and bigger, and they seemed to follow the cattle and sheep forward.
But after passing through a cave, the god guided the widow in another direction. Probably not wanting us to see him eat the cattle and sheep, the widow and his husband walked back from another mountain road. ”
After Yingzheng's story was told, he took a big sip of water.
Only then did the craftsmen come to their senses.
"Your Majesty, after talking for a long time, you still haven't seen that god."
"Your Majesty, have all those cattle and sheep been eaten by the gods?"
"That's a big belly."
"The cattle and sheep are so obedient, this god must be very powerful."
"I don't know if those cattle and sheep are enough, if they are not enough, will they eat people."
"Probably not, won't the king come back?"
"Phew."
Everyone spit on the last one who can't speak.
Ying Zheng: "......"
"The grass people can't speak, the king forgive me." The craftsman who spoke last said with some trepidation.
"Just kidding, it doesn't matter." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The widow has finished talking about what happened, and now, the widow will talk about the next arrangement." ”
All the craftsmen, including Meng Tian, became serious and stood up straight one by one.
Ying Zheng looked at the crowd and said, "On the way back, the widow has asked Mr. to draw the terrain and landform there, and the widow has decided to use the secret room where the divine soldiers are stored as the entrance to the construction of the royal tomb, and to set up a forbidden place there to prevent disturbing the gods. ”
"Do as the king commands." The crowd replied in unison.
"Starting tomorrow, Liu An will lead a few of you to thoroughly analyze the situation and topography of this place, Meng Tian will lead the troops to stay here, and the widow, return to Xianyang tomorrow, take Jing Fan and others here, and bring all the Mengjia troops here."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The people answered.
"Let's get ready to go." Ying Zheng waved his hand.
Let these craftsmen ask and ask again, Ying Zheng is afraid that he will talk away and reveal his flaws.
The people dispersed, but when they came to the door, they turned their heads and ears again.
Meng Tian leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, tomorrow, let Weichen escort you back to Xianyang." ”
"No, just go back with the widow." Ying Zheng said, "You have your mission, remember, don't let anyone get away without permission, or break into the forbidden land, tomorrow morning, you must set up the barrier of the forbidden land as soon as possible in the place that the widow said." ”
Meng Tian was a little reluctant, but he still arched his hand and said, "Weichen takes the order." ”
After Meng Tian left the Zhongjun tent, Ying Zheng looked at Li Si, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "This lie can only be rounded up like this." ”
Li Si finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud.
