Chapter 163: Mysterious Treasure Chest
Although King Zhao agreed to Ying Zheng's proposal, the amount of black oil provided by Zhao has not yet been determined.
"I wonder how much black fire oil my father-in-law can provide?" Ying Zheng looked at King Zhao and asked.
King Zhao thought for a moment, then looked at Guo Kai, as if he was asking Guo Kai's opinion.
Guo Kai arched his hand and said: "King Qiqi, at present, there are only two hundred barrels of stock in the treasury. ”
King Zhao nodded, as if he understood: "Since there are only so many, then give them all to King Qin, don't look like we are petty." ”
"Wechen obeys the king's orders." Guo Kai arched his hand.
King Zhao turned his head again, looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, you see, this only inventory is given to you, don't be too little." ”
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Father-in-law can be generous, it is already a kindness to Ying Zheng, how can the son-in-law be too little." ”
"In that case, what else do you need?" King Zhao asked.
"My son-in-law is only going to make this difficulty, and I have nothing else to ask for." Ying Zheng replied.
"Okay, okay." King Zhao smiled and said, "Since the things that should be discussed have been discussed, let's sign the covenant." ”
"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded and said.
Immediately, the two kings took out their seals and stamped them, and then pressed their own handprints.
In duplicate, effective immediately.
King Zhao looked at the seal in Ying Zheng's hand, and felt slightly surprised in his heart, but he didn't want to ask too much.
After signing the covenant, King Zhao waved his hand and said: "Immediately load two hundred barrels of black fire oil, and when you are ready, set off with King Qin and go to Daqin." ”
"The ministers obey the king's commands." The ministers responded in unison.
After another day of repairing and preparation, Yingzheng took Hu Yu to bid farewell to King Zhao and set out on the way home.
After sending Ying Zheng away, King Zhao gathered all his ministers together, not knowing what to discuss.
The team led by Ying Zheng walked for three days and finally came to the border of Zhao.
In the car, Hu Yu reluctantly kept looking back, as if it was difficult to give up his homeland.
"What? Reluctant to leave? Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
Hu Yu turned his head and seemed to be in a somewhat depressed mood: "Hmm...... Yes, there is. ”
Hu Yu has many differences, and honesty is also one of them, which is why Ying Zheng prefers her.
"Both places are home, if you miss Zhao Guo, the widow will accompany you back more often in the future." Ying Zheng said.
"Okay." Hu Yu smiled knowingly.
"By the way, how much can Zhao Guo's black fire oil reserves be?" It wasn't until he walked out of the border of Zhao that Ying Zheng asked this question.
Hu Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know, probably, it's not more than these two hundred barrels." My father said that it could make lamp oil, and he encouraged it. ”
"The widow also feels that Zhao Guo's storage should be more than these." Ying Zheng said with a little regret, "Then do you know why your father concealed the quantity and didn't give us more?" ”
Hu Yu shook his head again: "The concubine doesn't know, and she never asks about her father." ”
Ying Zheng touched his chin and said: "In the past few days, the widow has been thinking about the mystery, according to the widow, first, your father doesn't want the widow to produce too many magic soldiers, because he doesn't want to invisibly have an opponent who is difficult to contain." Second, King Zhao also planned to exchange some 'I weapons', and then learn to forge by himself, so that he could strike first. ”
Hu Yu's eyes widened and he said, "Didn't you say that your majesty said that no one can make this 'my weapon' except for Great Qin?" ”
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "So, your father and he may have miscalculated." ”
Hu Yu blinked his eyes and said, "Then the two hundred 'I weapons' promised by the king will be honored, right?" ”
"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"
Ying Zheng sincerely
said: "This is natural, and the widow will not lose his credibility because of these things. As for how King Zhao will use it in the future, it is not within the scope of the covenant. ”
Ying Zheng's meaning is obvious, if you don't study reasonable moves and formations, even divine soldiers will be difficult to play a greater role.
"What the king said about forming an alliance with Zhao State, even if he really fights each other, he will not use 'my weapon', is it true?" Hu Yu asked.
"Nature is also true." Ying Zheng grinned and said, "This is an alliance between the two countries, how can it be child's play?" ”
"That's good." Hu Yu seemed to have finally put his heart in his stomach.
And Ying Zheng's heart was also a light sigh.
Signing a covenant is not to create more time for yourself.
When they arrived at the Qin realm, the team did not advance towards Xianyang, but went straight to Lishan.
Because of the need to take care of Hu Yu's body, the team did not go fast, and at this time, Ying Zheng's heart was not in a hurry, but he was a little worried about the progress of the project in Lishan.
On this day, I finally arrived at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and I saw the sentry post that closed the mountain from a distance, and a group of soldiers were patrolling.
Ying Zheng leaned closer to Hu Yu and said, "Don't you always shout to come to Lishan to have a look, this time your wish has been granted." ”
Hu Yu said beautifully: "The concubines know that I will definitely come here before my sisters, and I will also choose a good place in the royal tomb first." ”
Ying Zheng: "......"
This one should also be compared?
What kind of logic do you have.
While laughing, I saw Meng Tian leading the team to greet him.
"Weichen welcomes the king to Qin." Meng Tian dismounted and bowed.
The soldiers who came out to greet him all knelt down in unison.
Ying Zheng got out of the car, and he was also very happy to see the soldiers of Daqin, and quickly stepped forward and said, "Hurry up and be polite." ”
Ying Zheng stepped forward to help Meng Tian up, and the two grabbed each other's wrists, looked at each other and smiled.
"Your Majesty, how is this trip, is it going well?" Meng Tian asked with concern.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Of course it's going well, my son-in-law sees my father-in-law, how can it not go well, you see." ”
With that, Ying Zheng pointed to the convoy behind him.
Meng Tian looked at Ying Zheng's hand, and saw that the long convoy behind him was loaded with large wooden barrels.
"That's ...... Black fire oil? Meng Tian asked in surprise.
"Not bad." Ying Zheng said quite proudly, "Two hundred barrels." ”
"Hahaha...... Meng Tian was about to jump up happily, "Now the problem is solved." ”
"Well, let's go, let's go back." Ying Zheng said.
"Okay." Meng Tian helped Ying Zheng into the car and escorted Ying Zheng and Hu Yu to the Chinese military tent next to the secret room.
Li Si and Jing Fan received the rumor and were already waiting outside the tent.
After bowing to Ying Zheng and Hu Yu, everyone gathered around King Qin and his wife and walked into the big tent.
After sitting down, Ying Zheng looked at everyone's curious eyes and told the experience of going to Zhao in detail and completely.
After listening to Ying Zheng's description, Li Si said with a smile: "In this way, we can be regarded as successfully changing back to black fire oil." ”
"Yes, the king also made an alliance with Zhao, it seems that in a short period of time, the border between Qin and Zhao will be peaceful." Meng Tian followed.
"It's just a pity that those two hundred divine soldiers." Jing Fan sighed.
Hu Yu pursed his lips and glanced at Jing Fan.
Li Si hurriedly said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, that's the reward that Zhao Guo deserves, if we don't have those black fire oils, we can't make this divine soldier, and the construction of the royal tomb will be delayed." ”
"What Mr. said is reasonable, Zhao Guo's help to us this time is indeed not small." Ying Zheng said, "When we are done, the widow will thank them well." ”
Only then did Hu Yu smile again.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said:
"How's it going over here?"
Li Si said: "The changes are not small, the king should take a look for himself, it is not clear in a sentence or two." ”
"Let's go." Ying Zheng stood up, looking quite anxious.
Everyone followed Yingzheng to the well.
It's still a well, it's like a valley.
It turned out that Li Si had ordered people to dig up all the ground above the alloy and build a corner staircase next to it.
As far as the eye can see, the entire alloy surface has been fully exposed, and there are still many sergeants working on it, and in the middle of the alloy, there is a huge gap, presumably Li Si has used the previous black fire oil to quench a part.
According to the calculation of time, it will only take 20 days for Ying Zheng to leave, and the progress of this project is too fast.
Before Ying Zheng came back to his senses, he heard Li Si say: "The preliminary action of quenching the alloy has been completed, Your Majesty, let's go down and have a look." ”
Ying Zheng nodded and followed Li Si down the side escalator.
Hu Yu also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Yingzheng.
Hu Yu knew that his body was more special now, so he didn't insist anymore.
Coming to the surface of the alloy, Ying Zheng squatted down, looked carefully, and hit the surface of the alloy a few times with his fist.
It's really hard.
A few people came to the side of the giant gap, only to see that on both sides were supposed to be the equipment for making the quenching solution, but the equipment for making the "self" did not seem to be here.
Ying Zheng approached the gap and looked down, only to see a wooden barrel being pulled up by the axle.
"Hehe, that's good." Ying Zheng said happily, "It seems that this refining operation is also quite effective." ”
"yes, everything is under control." "With more black oil, it's only a matter of time before all the alloys are quenched." ”
"How long does the gentleman expect it will take to quench all the entire piece of alloy?" Ying Zheng asked with concern.
Li Si thought for a moment and said, "Before winter, it should be able to be completed." ”
Ying Zhengchang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is great, if it enters the winter, it must not be able to be constructed, and this problem will be solved as soon as possible, so that the construction can be fully started next year." ”
"The ministers obey the king's commands." Li Si, Jing Fan and the others said in unison.
"By the way, now we don't know the thickness of this alloy, if we misestimate the quantity, it will be troublesome." Ying Zheng said thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, the reason why you have been refining downward at the moment is that you want to know the exact thickness." "Then you can calculate the number of the whole." ”
Ying Zheng pulled Li Si aside and said in a low voice, "According to the number of three thousand 'I Instruments' that can be smelted, how long will it take for this alloy to be probe?" ”
Li Si also said in a low voice: "Wechen has already calculated, if it is calculated at the current rate, it will take about five or six days." ”
"Can you speed it up a bit?" Ying Zheng asked.
"With these black fire oils brought back by the king, of course there is no problem." "But it will take three days at the earliest." ”
"Okay, three days is three days." Ying Zheng said, "When the bottom of this alloy is discovered, the widow will send Hu Yu back, otherwise, if the widow returns to Xianyang now, he will not be at ease after all." ”
"And ...... Madame?" Li Si was worried that Hu Yu's already tired body would be unbearable if he lived in this difficult place.
"It's fine." Ying Zheng waved his hand lightly and said, "She, I wish she could play here for a few more days, maybe she won't want to leave after three days." ”
The two of them looked at Hu Yu on the ground in unison, and couldn't help but smile at each other again.
Hu Yu had been staring at the surface of the alloy in a daze, not paying attention to Yingzheng's movements at all, but suddenly his ears were a little hot.
