Chapter 251: Go to the grinding plate and turn around

Go to the sand mill and take a look, this is not a temporary idea of Yingzheng, but as soon as he heard about this place, he had this idea in his heart.

Judging from the information that Wu Chan has, the Sand Mill Disc is located above several fire eyes, and those fire eyes are extremely active, which means that the red stream below it must also be very active.

In other words, the natural source force there is very active, and this situation, is it related to his ultimate task, that is, to restore the natural source force?

If it is related, then why didn't Ji Fa mention it?

Could it be that if the dragon veins of Huaxia are repaired, this place will not heal itself?

No wonder Ji Fa said that after the restoration of the natural source force, this place will be buried by the desert, presumably because of the red flow here.

After leaving the Exquisite Palace with Wu Chan, along the way, Ying Zheng was thinking about these questions and didn't talk much.

Zhehuai took the first step and went to the ghost cave to recall his thumb, while Yingzheng and Wuchan followed, intending to go directly to the grinding plate of the sand after meeting halfway.

"Have you been to the edge of the millstone?" Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Wu Chan and asked.

"I've only been there once." "I was there last time I followed Uncle Thumb to check on the situation, but it's been many years, and I was still a naughty little princess."

In Ying Zheng's mind, the image of a very lively and willful little princess wearing exquisite traditional clothes suddenly appeared.

"If it's dangerous, don't go with it." Ying Zheng said with concern, "Just let Thumb take the widow to take a look."

"Are you afraid I'm in danger?" Uzen's eyes flickered.

"Well, you're the Absolute Monarch, so of course you can't put yourself at risk." Ying Zheng hurriedly explained.

"Hehe, you're still the monarch of the Qin Kingdom, don't you also want to take risks?" Uzen asked rhetorically.

"That's different, the widow is a man." Ying Zheng said.

"Well, you're discriminating against women." Wu Chan said angrily.

Ying Zheng: "......"

Looking at Ying Zheng's rather helpless expression, Wu Chan smiled softly: "Don't worry, there will be no danger in that marginal area, besides, there is Uncle Thumb to protect us, the situation there is most familiar to him, if there is really any danger, he will not take me there."

After Wu Chan said this, Ying Zheng put his mind at ease, if he brought any trouble to Wu Chan because of his curiosity, it would be more than worth the loss.

"But speaking of which, you Huaxia really seem to despise women." Uzen continued, "I heard that a woman is never allowed to be a king in your place, right?"

"Well, that's right, but it's not because of contempt for women." Ying Zheng said, "It's the rules left by our ancestors. Whether the clan is strong or not depends on the number of men, and the war between the two countries also depends on whose army has the most numbers, and even ordinary people rely on men to cultivate the fields, so men have always been the main role of Chinese civilization."

"In this regard, it seems to be no different from the Western Regions." "Although cattle and sheep are mainly herded here, the people who go out to graze are all men."

"It's nature." Ying Zheng smiled, "If a woman goes out to graze, then not all people like King Ji have been robbed and made wives."

"Hahaha......" Uchan laughed out loud at Yingzheng's amusement.

For some reason, looking at Wu Chan smiling, Ying Zheng also felt very happy.

"Seriously, though." Seeing Wu Chan laugh for a while, a trace of pity appeared in Ying Zheng's heart, "As a woman, isn't it a lot of pressure to inherit the throne at such a young age?"

Wu Chan exhaled lightly and said, "If you want to talk about pressure, there must be it, but fortunately, the elders perform their duties and handle state affairs in an orderly manner, and I don't need to worry too much about any political affairs, besides, Jingjue is a small country, and the pressure on survival is not very huge."

Indeed, the head of a family is the head of a nation

The pressure on the Lord must be different, and the difference lies in the different responsibilities and missions on his shoulders?

All along, Ying Zheng

The huge pressure he felt, in addition to dominating the mountains and rivers, and the final salvation, was the main source of pressure in his heart.

"In fact, the pressures of governing the country are really nothing compared to the pressures of existential threats." Ying Zheng sighed for a while, and looked at the far north.

Wu Chan also followed Ying Zheng's gaze to look at the blurred boundary between heaven and earth that was slightly yellow, and he also felt a sense in his heart.

The two are facing the same situation. It's just that one is for one's entire race, and the other is for all living beings in the world.

Let's talk about it, most of the hour passed, and two figures appeared in front.

It's the thumb and the Zhehuai.

After the four of them gathered, Thumb opened his mouth and asked, "Patriarch, do you really want to take King Qin to the edge of that grinding plate?"

"Hehe, it's not that I want to go, it's that King Qin heard that the yellow sand there is constantly spreading outward, and he wants to go there to have a look, so as to help us think of a way." Uzen smiled.

"Then I have to thank King Qin first." Thumb made a ghost gesture and said, "But when you three get there, listen to your thumb, and don't run around."

"That's fine." Ying Zheng said, "How long will it take?"

"Three days." Thumb said, "Let's go back to the city and get some supplies before we go."

"It's fine."

In this way, the four of them returned to the Absolute City, brought enough food and grass for three days, and then embarked on the road to the Sand Mill.

"Uncle Thumb, have you picked out the candidates to go to Huaxia?" Uzen asked, looking at his thumb.

Thumb smiled and said, "Hehe, Patriarch Hui, as soon as the old minister told me about this yesterday, those young ghost hands were all vying to go, saying that they wanted to go to Huaxia to see the world and taste the delicacies of Daqin."

"Haha, it's all a trivial matter, even if you marry a big girl for each of them, it's no problem." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Phew!" Wu Chan snorted, "If they marry a girl from Huaxia, who will still worry about returning to the essence."

"Yes, in this case, King Qin has taken a big advantage." Zhehuai said.

"Hahaha......

Several people laughed.

Talking and laughing forward, time flies, and before you know it, the sun has set.

Thumb found a cave in the middle of the hill and decided to camp there.

"Although this is not a ghost cave, it is also a temporary resting place dug by the ghost hands, and it is very safe." Thumb said.

"Okay, this place is good." Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and took the reins from Wu Chan's hand, "The widow and Zhehuai went to walk the horses, and then see if they could catch some prey."

Curious, Uzen said, "It's okay to walk a horse, but are you sure you know how to hunt?"

"Jokes." Ying Zheng said disdainfully, "The old clans of Great Qin are all people on horseback."

With that, Ying Zheng took out a flying crossbow from his bag.

Wu Chan was surprised, "Unexpectedly, you also brought a crossbow arrow with you."

"This crossbow bolt seems to be a little different from the usual." Zhehuai's gaze also instantly fell on the flying crossbow.

"yes, this guy is called a crossbow, it can shoot in bursts, the range and strength are about the same as that of a hard bow, and it can shoot with one arm." Ying Zheng said quite proudly.

"Is it that powerful?" Uzen leaned closer, closer and closer to look at the crossbow.

"Of course, why don't we compare?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Wuchan with an evil smile.

"Cut, Bibi is Bibi." Wu Chan snatched back his reins with one hand.

You know, the people of the Western Regions are experts in hunting.

"Drive!" Wu Chan jumped on the back of the horse, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and ran out first

Go.

Ying Zheng also flew on his horse and chased after him.

"Patriarch!" Zhehuai seemed to be worried about Wuchan's safety, and raised his hand and shouted urgently.

"Let them go, and they won't be lost." The eyes of the thumb are quite meaningful,

"Let's go, let's pick up some dry firewood."

Zhehuai nodded, tied the horse, and then followed his thumb to collect firewood and clean the cave.

Wu Chan's bow is shorter than the longbow used by men, but the bow is wrapped with a layer of cowhide, and it is dyed red, and the feathers behind the arrow feathers are also red, I don't know if this is the unique sign of the ghost cave patriarch, in short, it is very powerful and domineering.

On the hillside, among the woods, compared with Daqin, there are not too many birds and beasts here, and after walking for a while, the two found a wild deer.

Wu Chan shouted, took the lead in urging the horse to gallop, stretched out his bow and arrows, and shot an arrow at the wild deer.

But he didn't want the wild deer to be extremely nimble, and suddenly turned to dodge the fatal blow.

Ying Zheng smiled, raised his right hand holding the crossbow, and shot two arrows very casually.

Sou...... Sou......

The crossbow arrow in front of it was the same as the one shot by Wu Chan just now, and it was dodged by a sharp stop and turn of the wild deer, but the second arrow was shot in the direction where it was about to flee after it turned around, and suddenly, the wild deer was caught between the two arrow feathers, although it was not immobile, but it was not light.

"Don't shoot it yet." Ying Zheng said quickly.

"Hmm." Wu Chan raised his hand, and the arrow feathers shot out.

The wild deer, which had just come to his senses, was about to run again, but fell to the ground when he had just stepped two front hooves.

"Hehe, good shot." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Wu Chan looked back at Ying Zheng, and his tone brought a little respect: "I can't see it, your archery skills are good."

"So-so." Ying Zheng smiled, "The main thing is that this flying crossbow is powerful."

"I can see that this thing is really good." So saying, Uchan urged the horse to come to the deer, dismounted, and put it in a cloth bag, and hung it in the saddle.

"Let's go, let's go back." Uzen said, "Go back and show me this ballaplist."

"Okay."

The two men ran back to the cave where they had lived.

A bonfire was lit, and the four of them gathered around and roasted venison.

"What a crossbow!" Zhehuai, who was squatting beside Wu Chan, stared at the flying crossbow in Wu Chan's hand.

"You want it?" Uzen asked with squinted eyes.

"Hmm." Zhehuai nodded repeatedly.

"Don't give." Uzen turned his head and put the crossbow into his arms.

"It's not the patriarch, how do I think, how can this Qin King's flying crossbow seem to belong to you?" Zhe said indignantly.

"When it is in my hand, it is mine." Wu Chan snorted coldly.

Ying Zheng: "......"

"Can't even look at it?" Zhehuai said.

"No." Uzen hugged the crossbow tighter.

"Stingy, don't look at it." Zhehuai turned his head to look at Ying Zheng, and said with a smiling face, "King Qin, do you still have this flying crossbow, give me a hand."

"Huh." Ying Zheng added a piece of wood to the fire and said, "Look at your little bit of luck, for this flying crossbow to snatch around, the widow will bring you all this time."

Wu Chan and Zhehuai opened their mouths wide at the same time, stunned, and even their thumbs widened.

Not to mention the new weapon such as the flying crossbow, even if it is an ordinary crossbow arrow, sending so many at once is a big deal.

After a while, Wu Chan seemed to wake up from his dream and muttered, "What you said is true?"

"Hehe, when did the widow say a joke." Ying Zheng said, "Let me tell you, this flying crossbow is also the royal tomb that can be inherited by the widow, and as long as there is enough time, Great Qin can make this kind of flying crossbow in a steady stream, just like you make secret stones."

"Hey, hey." The three Peerless men looked at each other and grinned.
