Thumb promised to directly cultivate Ice Gu in the Qin State, and to teach the craftsmen of Great Qin how to make dense stones, which was a great thing for Great Qin and Ying Zheng.

And if the elite moves here, it will be extremely beneficial to Yingzheng.

Mishi, I won't worry about being too much in the future, Wu Chan, if nothing else, can also become the new princess.

This night, Ying Zheng couldn't sleep with excitement at all, and the smile kept on the corner of his mouth, and what appeared in front of him was Wu Chan's charming face and graceful posture.

In the next two days, Ying Zheng and the Meng family brothers personally selected a group of reliable sergeants and craftsmen, handed them to Thumb, and let him command them in a unified manner.

Two layers of the catacombs have been excavated, the second and third layers, and the first batch of dense stone will be used to reinforce the two layers of walls.

The cultivation site of the Ice Gu was chosen at an edge of the second layer, and Ying Zheng specially ordered someone to fence this area with an iron fence on all sides, and there were soldiers guarding it on all sides.

It's all set up here, and finally, there's another key point - Fire Eye!

The reason why it is key is because of the existence of several divine beasts.

Ying Zheng didn't want Liu An's incident to happen again, so he secretly came to the cave at the other end of the fire eye with Ji Fa.

Jaira and Xi were also invited here by Ji Fa, and they were both sitting on the ground very leisurely, looking at Yingzheng.

"Ying Zheng has seen two seniors." Ying Zheng Shili said.

She bowed her head slightly, and said, "A few days ago, you said that you were going to borrow the Fire Eye to make dense stones, how is the progress now?"

"Back to your predecessors." Ying Zheng said respectfully, "The equipment for making the secret stone is ready, and if one more element is determined, the construction can begin."

"Whew." Jairus seemed to be laughing, "This element, but do you want us not to approach the Fire Eye for a while?"

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Exactly, if the two seniors are here, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no deviation and be seen by them."

"And can you keep the Fire Eye safe?" Xi asked.

"It's nature." Ying Zheng said quite firmly, "The fire eye will never be destroyed, and the spirit person will only treat it as an ordinary fire eye, and will not know where the dragon vein is."

"Well, the deity can trust you." Jairus said, "It's getting colder, so don't break ground during this time, and concentrate on making dense stones."

"Okay, thank you, senior." Ying Zheng thanked him.

"Uh, there's ......" Jairus paused, then leaned forward and asked, "Those ice Gus, are you okay?"

Ying Zheng's brows moved, but his face was calm, "The Ice Gu was brought by a peerless person, and everything is fine now."

"That's good." Jairus said, "If you have a chance, bring a few and show them to the deity."

"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "What other instructions does the senior have?"

She narrowed her red eyes, shook her head, and said, "No, you guys go."

Ying Zheng and Ji Fa took their leave of the cave.

Looking at the distant backs of the two of them, the pupils of the eyes flickered with a slight complexity.

Out of the hole, Ying Zheng approached Ji Fa and asked in a low voice, "Senior, why did Jairus specifically ask about Ice Gu?"

Ji Fa looked back at the entrance of the cave, and also lowered his voice, and said quite mysteriously: "It's not just it that asks about Ice Gu, when the old man went to Jiuyou before, the Dragon Clan also asked."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng frowned, "The dragon clan also asked? What did you ask?"

"Actually, I didn't ask anything." Ji Fa said, "It seems that it is just a concern for the Ice Gu, but the old man feels that the Dragon Clan seems to have other plans."

"Plans for another?" Ying Zheng asked puzzled.

Ji Fa nodded, and at the same time quickened his pace, still softly, "Yes, do you remember what the old man once told you, the reason why the ancient era was ended?"

"Well, my predecessors once said that ancient civilizations wanted to find their ancestors, so they built many ancient towers

。」 Ying Zheng said.

"Isn't that the end of it?" Ji Fa said, "That ancient pagoda is made of dense stones, and to make dense stones, you must rely on ice Gu. If Jiuxiao is without the Ice Gu, then naturally there will be no Secret Stone, so that the Dragon Clan will no longer worry about the previous incident appearing again."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng was stunned.

Ji Fa stretched out his hand, pulled Ying Zheng to continue walking, and said, "This Ice Gu was originally a thing of the Dragon Clan, and now there is no Ice Gu left in the Nine Shadows, so the Ice Gu in this exquisite hand is the last Ice Gu vein of the Egg Clan."

"It's ...... ...... like this," Ying Zheng finally came back to his senses and said, "Then this Ice Gu is not only extremely rare for the Essence, but even for the Dragon Clan?"

"Well, that's true." Ji Fa said, "What the old man is worried about is that the dragon clan forcibly asked for the Ice Gu, if that's the case, do you think the Essence will be willing to give it up?"

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

"That's right." Ji Fa said, "For the Dragon Clan, if you want to return to the Ice Gu, not only will it return to the Nine Shadows, but it will also block the means of making secret stones, which is the best of both worlds."

Ying Zheng was a little unsettled, and muttered, "Senior, if that's the case, wouldn't our efforts be in vain, and Wuchan and the others wouldn't be willing to give up the Ice Gu."

"Panic what." Ji Fa glanced at Ying Zheng, "Even if the Dragon Clan has this plan, it won't be now, at least until you go to the Nine Shadows to officially cooperate with them."

Ying Zheng exhaled lightly, feeling a little reassured: "This is about the same, it seems that there is still a lot of time."

"Not bad." Ji Fa said, "However, don't tell Thumb about this yet."

"Hmm." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It's natural."

The two returned to the camp, and Ying Zheng left Meng Tian in Lishan to assist his thumb, and then returned to Xianyang with half of the sergeants and craftsmen.

Along the way, Ying Zheng's mood was still very good.

Caressing the golden mane of Maple Leaf, Ying Zheng muttered, "Maple Leaf, Maple Leaf, I guess you also miss your master, don't worry, it won't be long before she will come to us, you must be very happy, hehe."

Maple Leaf seemed to understand Yingzheng's words, raised his head upward, and hissed twice, as if he was responding to Yingzheng.

When they were about to reach the east gate of Xianyang, a caravan appeared on the pipeline in front of the procession, about 100 people, pulling large and small vehicles.

The caravan was not moving very fast, and Yingzheng's team could only follow behind.

Meng Yi urged the horse to Yingzheng's side, and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, there is a caravan ahead, should we tell them to get out of the way, or do we take a detour?"

"Don't alarm them yet." Ying Zheng said, "You go and inquire and ask them where the caravan is, and what they are doing in Xianyang."

"Yes." Meng Yi answered, turned his horse's head, and ran in the direction of the caravan leader.

It's already winter, and it stands to reason that most of the caravans should have stopped, so how could there be caravans coming to Xianyang?

After a while, Meng Yi ran back.

"Your Majesty, you have found out." Meng Yi arched his hand and said, "This caravan is from the Chu State, and it is transporting cotton, and after the envoy of the Chu State returned last time, he said that Daqin only bought silk and could not survive the winter, so he asked the caravan selling cotton to transport this batch of cotton."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng said with some surprise, "This Chu State is really good at doing business, and they actually thought of making winter clothes, but they went to Sima Mansion?"

"Exactly." Meng Yi replied.

"Okay, you take the Mengjia army back to the garrison, and the widow escorts them with the Praetorian Guard." Ying Zheng said.

Meng Yi answered, and then rectified the Meng family's army.

Ying Zheng took the Praetorian Guards and followed behind the caravan unhurriedly.

The caravan knew that it was the army of the Qin State behind it, and at first it was a little apprehensive, afraid that it would conflict with the Qin army because of its own speed of movement, but later saw that the Qin army did not urge, and followed behind as if it was protecting the caravan, so they were all relieved

。

Qin Jun's moves, too

Let everyone in the caravan secretly admire the generosity of the Qin army.

When they arrived at the city gate, the caravan took the initiative to give way and let Yingzheng's team enter the city gate first.

Ying Zheng ordered the soldiers guarding the city to say a few words, and then rushed directly to Sima's mansion.

Sima Hong and Sima Jie in the mansion heard that King Qin had returned, and hurriedly greeted him out of the mansion.

After seeing the salute, Sima Hong opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, you have finally returned."

"Hahaha, Lord Sima, this sentence should be said to you by a widow." Ying Zheng laughed and said, "The widow has been waiting for you for many days, but you have never returned."

"Hehe, isn't this Weichen trying to take back the original grain seeds?" Sima Hong said with a smile, "But I don't want to go back to Xianyang, I heard that the king has found me a very busy errand."

Referring to the original grain seeds, Ying Zheng hurriedly introduced Ji Fa to Sima Hong's father and son: "This is the predecessor of Ji who gave the widow the original grain seed at the beginning, and if there are any doubts in cultivating the grain seed in the future, someone can finally solve the doubts."

Sima's father and son were all shocked, and said in unison, "The younger generation has seen Senior Ji."

"Hehe, these days, I often hear King Qin mention you, and the old man has long wanted to meet you." Ji Fa said with a smile.

"The seniors have won the prize." Sima Hong said, "Please come into the mansion and rest."

As soon as he entered the living room, Sima Hong took out a few bulging cloth bags and put them in front of Ying Zheng and Ji Fa.

After opening, a variety of original grain species are presented in front of everyone.

Ying *** leaned down, grabbed a handful of red beans, and asked, "How is this year's production?"

"With the accumulation of last year, this year's output is much higher than last year's." Sima Hong said, "Presumably, after a few years of accumulation, it can be implemented in the private sector."

Ying Zheng said happily: "It's good that everything goes well, the sooner this original grain seed is implemented in the people, the more confident we will be."

Unexpectedly, Ji Fa laughed on the side and said, "When the old man gave you the original grain seeds, he just wanted you to learn how to plant, as for the number of grain seeds, you don't have to worry, the old man has enough."

Ying Zheng and Sima father and son widened their eyes at the same time, not quite believing what they heard.

"My predecessor said that the original grain seeds are not only the ones you gave me at the beginning?" Ying Zheng swallowed his saliva and asked.

"Did the old man say at the time, are those the only remaining original grain seeds in the world?" Ji Fa glanced at Yingzheng.

Indeed, looking back at that time, Ji Fa did just let Ying Zheng try to cultivate grain seeds, not to ask Ying Zheng to save the remaining grain seeds.

It's just that he thinks it's too precious, so Ying Zheng's instinctive understanding is wrong.

"So...... Where did the other original grains go to the seniors?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Hehe, where do you think the old man will put it?" Ji Fa asked with a smile.

Since it is a precious thing, it must be buried in an extremely secret underground or deep in the mountains.

Wait a minute.

Ground floor?

Hidden underground?

Ying Zheng looked at Ji Fa and asked tentatively, "What the seniors are referring to, could it be the Tomb of King Wu?"

"Hehe, it looks like you're pretty smart." Ji Fa smiled and said, "Just like the treasures you found before, all the original grain seeds are stored in the lower half of the royal tomb."

"The Second Half...... Intercept?" Ying Zheng was a little confused, "That means that the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth floors of the Martial Prince's Tomb are all original grain seeds?"

Ji Fa stroked his white beard and nodded gently.

"Haha." Ying Zheng jumped up happily, "There are so many!"

Yes, there must be a lot, he has been to the first four floors, of course he knows how big the space is on each floor, and the mechanism of the four floors below is almost the same as the first four floors.

"Look at you, wait until the royal tomb, you will naturally see it." Ji Fa said, "Don't forget that there's a big caravan waiting outside, don't make people wait."

Ying Zheng slapped his head, patronized and was happy, and forgot about this stubble.
