"Hahaha...... Ying Zheng laughed heartily, and with his two hands respectively, he went to support Solin and Qiang, who were kneeling and worshipping, and said at the same time, "Two virtuous brothers, please get up." ”

The two of them got up, and then looked at Ying Zheng's eyes, which were already full of respect and respect.

It can be seen that they are not hypocritical, but only a little panicked.

Originally, most countries would use the conventional method of being friendly to each other, but Yingzheng didn't have any good candidates to marry Solin or Qiang, so he could only retreat to the next best thing and worship them.

But this is only a foundation, and truly appreciating the two young patriarchs in front of him is the main factor for Yingzheng to make this move.

Meng Wu, who was behind Ying Zheng, also deliberately congratulated him: "Congratulations to Wang Shangyi for marrying Jin Lan!" ”

The brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi also bowed and congratulated, but there seemed to be a hint of envy in their eyes.

"Pass it on, the whole Yiqu clan is about to return to Longxi, Daqin, in order to show their hearts, feast Rong Di's partners for three days, and don't slack off." Ying Zheng said.

"Yes." Meng Wu answered and walked outside the tent.

Yu Tu shirked and said: "The king doesn't need to be so polite, those gifts outside just now have already made the Rongdi tribes endlessly useful." ”

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "The old patriarch smiled, those rewards just now are all false, and they are not realistic. Wuhua has always had a saying of eight worships, and most of the eight worships have tokens to prove the depth of friendship. The widow should give some precious gifts to the two virtuous brothers. ”

Before Yingzheng could speak again, Solin looked at Yu Tu, and then reached out and took out an object from his arms, which was the jade pendant that Yu Tu had given him before, symbolizing the power of the Yiqu king.

"Your Majesty, this jade pendant is a token of royal power brought out by the ancestors when they left their homeland." Suorin held the jade pendant with both hands and handed it to Yingzheng, "Since there will be no king in Yiqu in the future, then this jade pendant should be a family heirloom and given to Brother Wang." ”

"This, how does this make it?" Ying Zheng shirked.

Although Yu Tu was also a little reluctant, he knew that this was an important moment to express his position, so he followed and said: "Your Majesty, you can take it, in this hurry, we didn't prepare anything, but we just brought this thing with us, and after receiving this thing, if the Yiqu people don't listen to it in the future, you will use this thing to rectify it." ”

"yes." Qiang also reached out and took out a brocade bag from his arms, "This is the four wolf king teeth of the Qiang tribe, with any one of them, you can exercise the rights of the patriarch once, and the entire Qiang tribe can do everything, so I will also give it to Brother Wang." ”

Sheep is the totem of the Qiang people, and the writing of the word "Qiang" also comes from this. Therefore, according to legend, those who can slaughter the wolf king can become the leader of the Qiang tribe, and over time, this wolf king's tooth has become a symbol of the patriarch's rights.

Ying Zheng's face was slightly embarrassed.

As soon as he finished saying that he wanted to give his two younger brothers more expensive gifts, before he could make a move, these two people moved out of their respective families.

Or two feet.

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and finally turned his heart sideways, and said: "Everyone, wait a minute, the widow will go to get the token of my Great Qin." ”

2k

With that, Ying Zheng got up and left the big tent, walked towards his tent, and asked Meng Yi to summon Li Si over.

Back at the tent, Ying Zheng opened the wooden box where he stored his belongings.

Inside are mostly "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The Book of Shennong", "The Book of the Yellow Emperor" and other books that you carry with you, and at the bottom of the box, there are several things in three rows.

At the bottom of these pressing boxes, there are nine small stone tripods found in various secret rooms in the fourth layer of the Mausoleum of King Wu of Zhou!

When leaving Xianyang, Ying Zheng transferred the big stone tripod of alchemy to the secret room of Gucheng Palace, and then asked Zhao Gao to seal the secret room.

But these little stone tripods, Ying Zheng was afraid of being lost in the chaos, so he took them with him.

Ying Zheng picked up one of them and weighed it in his hand.

At this time, Lees walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, but there is something to find Weichen?" Li Si arched his hand.

"Sir, the current situation is moving forward according to our plan." Ying Zheng said, "It can be described as quite smooth. ”

"It's good if it goes well." Lees smiled.

Then, Ying Zheng told what he had just said and seen with Yu Tu and others.

"The widow said that he wanted to give them some tokens, but he didn't want them to give the tokens of the tribe to the widows." Ying Zheng said, "For this gift, the widow is worried, this is not better than Xianyang, and there are very few things with him, so the widow remembered this little stone ding." ”

"Does the king want to ......," Li Si paused and said in surprise, "Give this stone tripod to them?" ”

"The widow knows that this is a legacy of his predecessors, so he specially asked Mr." Ying Zheng said.

Li Si pondered for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said: "As far as Wei Chen knows, these nine small stone tripods are not in the category of this heavenly inheritance, and they must be which seniors did it casually when they were learning to refine dense stones. ”

"That means that even if the widow exchanges this thing for favors, it doesn't matter?" Ying Zheng asked.

"If it matters, when the master comes, the king will learn to refine the secret stone, and then make up for it." Li Sidao.

Hearing Li Si say this, Ying Zheng's heart had confidence, so he quickly found a brocade box, took out two stone tripods, placed them on the left and right, and then walked out of the camp tent with the brocade box.

Packaging is also very important, if you casually hold two small stone tripods, how can people believe that this is a valuable thing.

Returning to the big tent, Ying Zheng deliberately carefully placed the brocade box in front of Yu Tu, and then sat opposite Yu Tu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever heard the phrase 'one word is nine crowns'?" Ying Zheng asked deliberately.

"Of course." Yu Tu replied.

"Hehe, in the Chinese ethnic group, this sentence is often used to describe the promise and majesty of the emperor or monarch." Although Yu Tu said that he knew, Ying Zheng still explained, "And the so-called Jiuding represents the supreme power of China and is the symbol of the supreme commander." ”

Yu Tu nodded and said, "Although we are not from the Huaxia clan, we also know a lot about Huaxia civilization. ”

"So, what can match the tokens of the two virtuous brothers, of course, is this thing." Ying Zheng said as he opened the brocade box.

The two little stone tripods lay quietly in the brocade box, as if they were staring at each other, and seemed to be whispering secretly.

"This is Jiuding?" Thorin's gaze fell on Xiao Shiding, and he asked in surprise.

"It's so small." Qiang said.

"Hehe, don't get me wrong." Ying Zheng explained, "The nine tripods that Fang just said are the nine big copper tripods that are unique to the Zhou royal family and passed on from Dayu, and the two here are two of the nine stone tripods that the widow accidentally found when he was looking for a flying crossbow in the tomb of King Wu of Zhou, and its shape is exactly the same as that of the nine tripods, which is completely made according to the nine copper tripods, and is also unique to the Zhou royal family." ”

"Shi Ding?" Yu Tu's brows moved, and he reached out and picked up a small stone tripod.

Thorin also picked up another one curiously.

After looking at it for a long time, I saw Yu Tu's face change for a while.

"The king said that this stone tripod was found in the Mausoleum of King Wu?" Yu Tu's brows froze in one place, as if he was thinking about something.

"yes, what's wrong?" Ying Zhengdao.

"Mausoleum of King Wu of Zhou...... It has been around for more than eight hundred years. Yu Tu seemed to be muttering to himself, "Could it be that King Wu of Zhou at that time went to the Exquisite Kingdom?" ”

"Elite Country?" Yu Tu's words stunned Ying Zheng.

"Yes, look at this stone tripod with fine workmanship, and there is no texture, no trace of carving, it is so old, but it is so well preserved." Yu Tu's eyes never left Shi Ding, "This kind of method is only available in the Elite Country. ”

Thorin explained: "

Jingjue Country, is an independent country in the Western Regions, although the area is not large, but it is much richer than the surrounding countries, just because they will produce all kinds of strange stones, and the houses they build are also unusually strong, and the capital of the country is Jingjue City, which is commonly known as Stone City, because it is too strong, it has never been attacked for thousands of years, and because of this, the tribes from all over the country have gone to the Jingjue Country to exchange goods, and over time, it has become a place for the distribution of goods. ”

When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately became interested and immediately asked, "The special stone that the virtuous brother said is similar to this stone tripod?" ”

"I've only been to the Elite Country two or three times, and I haven't paid much attention to what that special stone looks like, and if it wasn't for my grandfather mentioning it, I wouldn't have noticed anything special about this stone tripod." Thorin said.

Yu Tu took over and said, "That exquisite country, the old man often goes. You also know that the remnants of Yiqu are located in a barren land, and the cattle and sheep raised with more hard work want to be sold at a good price, so most of the time, the cattle and sheep are slaughtered, separated into various parts, and then the sheepskin and wool are separated, and when they save a lot, they will be sold in the exquisite city. and the money that was exchanged for some food and tools was purchased. And the whole city there is made of that special stone, so it is called Stone Town. ”

The more Ying Zheng listened, the more interested he became: "Old patriarch, as you just said, this stone tripod has a uniform texture and no texture, could it be that the stone of the exquisite city is the same?" ”

"Not bad." Yu Tu nodded and said, "The old man was also curious about why the stone was so strong, and it was indestructible no matter how the giant hammer hit, so he asked the acquaintances there about the secrets, it turned out that those stones were not polished with natural rocks, but made by the ghost cave clan in a special way, and its production method was a secret technique that would never be passed on, and ordinary ghost cave people did not know the details at all. ”

"Old patriarch, tell me more about the origin of the Ghost Cave Clan and the Elite City, and the widow also wants to know the origin of this stone ding." Ying Zheng found a reason, the purpose is to find out as much as possible the secret of the secret stone.

Yu Tu began to relish: "According to legend, this Ghost Cave Clan was originally not from the Western Regions, but from the farther west, and it is said that they came to the location of the current Elite City more than a thousand years ago for refuge. At that time, there happened to be no tribe occupying that place, so the Ghost Cave Clan stayed there. ”

Thorin blinked and said, "No wonder the people there are all dark-skinned and high-nosed, and they are not locals. ”

"Not bad." Yu Tu said, "It is said that their ancestors made this special stone and piled it up into a very high tower, and then for some reason, it was submerged by the sea, and the remaining descendants of the ghost cave tribe lost their homes and were expelled, so they migrated all the way and came here after a long time." ”

What Yu Tu said is already in line with the legend that Li Si once told to a great extent.

"These people claim to be ghost cave tribes, and their specialty is that they can dig deep caves in the belly of the mountain, open mines and hunt for treasures, and another thing is that the creation of strange stones is also carried out in deep caves." Yu Tu continued.

There is also a certain similarity to what Lees said about the use of volcanic lava to make dense stone.

"This specialty of theirs is beyond the reach of the tribes in the Western Regions, those nomadic herdsmen, where have they seen such a majestic city, such a strong city wall, so they dare not rashly offend, so the Elite Country has gradually become a recognized neutral country, and the bazaar in it is also the largest in the Western Regions." Yu Tu said.

"Then the Peerless Kingdom should be very rich, right?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Of course." Yu Tu's eyes suddenly showed envy, "Sometimes the old man thinks about how good it would be if he could lead his clan to live in the Exquisite Country." ”

"Old patriarch." Ying Zheng said, "The widow also wants to go to the Elite Country to see and understand, when the time comes, can you be a guide for the widow?" ”

"Hehe, naturally there is no problem." Yu Tu said with a smile.
