A few maidservants accompanied Hu Yu to avoid it for the time being, left the stable, and waited outside.

A few grooms ran back and forth, but they were busy enough.

Some found special cloth bags to put under the horsetail of the maple leaves, some brought a lot of hay, and some went to fetch a few buckets of water to prepare for cleaning.

Sure enough, as Li Si said, the maple leaves expelled a lot of dirt with the tendency of destroying the ancient era, and the smell was really unpleasant.

The grooms were busy cleaning, and Lees, who had just left, returned to the stable with a bucket of water.

This bucket of water is not clear water, it seems to be still a potion, but the color is reddish, which is obviously different from the potion just now.

"This is a potion to replenish physical energy, let Maple Leaf drink it." "It's better for him not to eat until he's almost hydrated, and then give him some tender grass."

"Tender grass?" Ying Zheng's brows tightened, and he was embarrassed, "This cold and snowy place, where to get tender grass."

Li Si smiled and said, "In the mountains and wilderness, of course there will be none, why don't you ask Lord Sima to see if there are some fresh branches and leaves left in the grain seeds he cultivated, such fine cultivation, most of them are transferred indoors after harvesting, if the temperature is maintained well, the branches and leaves will still remain fresh."

"That's right." Ying Zheng slapped his thigh, "How did the widow forget about this matter, Zhao Gao!"

Zhao Gao beside him arched his hand and said, "Nuchen, let's go find Lord Sima."

Zhao Gao turned around and left the stable, and Ying Zheng began to feed the maple leaf with medicine.

However, instead of using a leather tube this time, Maple Leaf looked up and licked the potion from the barrel himself.

Hu Yu, who had just walked into the stable, was overjoyed when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, you see that it is much more energetic!" Hu Yu stepped forward quickly, shaking Ying Zheng's arm.

"Hmm!" Yingzheng was also overjoyed, "It has begun to recover."

"Don't be anxious, Your Majesty." Li Si said, "There may still be some residual medicinal properties of the medicine just now, and the maple leaf should still have a reaction to expel dirt."

"Let's drain it, if it's clean, the illness will be cured." Ying Zheng suddenly remembered what happened after he ate the basalt fruit on the Xuanwu Island in Jiuyou, and couldn't help but cover his stomach.

"Sir." Hu Yu came over and said, "Maple Leaf, it only drinks water, can it recover its strength?"

"Mrs. Hui." Li Si bowed slightly, "Wechen has suggested that the king collect some young grass and green leaves, but if you want the maple leaves to recover quickly, you still need to ask the master what he can do."

"That's right!" Ying Zheng suddenly realized, "Didn't you say that the original seed can restore it as soon as possible?"

"So, whether this original grain seed can be used or not, I have to ask the master." Lees said.

"Then let's go now." Ying Zheng turned around and arranged again.

A few horsemen were responsible for taking care of the maple leaves, Zhao Gao sent Hu Yu back to rest first, and a few eunuchs went to welcome the craftsmen of the Jing family class to build the stables.

After the arrangements were made, Ying Zheng and Li Si came to Ji Fa's residence together.

Ji Fa was sitting with Jing Fan discussing the three ancient books, and the two talked happily and laughed constantly.

After Ying Zheng entered the house, he briefly recounted what happened in the morning.

"Master, I want the maple leaf to recover as soon as possible, Li Si said that the original grain seed should be able to help, so we are in a hurry." Ying Zheng said.

"Well, this Dawan Horse, but it's a precious thing, not to mention it's a token of your love, you can't afford to lose it." Ji Fa stood up and said, "Let's go, let's take a look together."

Ying Zheng said happily: "Okay! With the Master's personal action, Maple Leaf will definitely get better faster."

The three of them went out and went straight to the stable, leaving Jing Fan confused.

Sweaty Horse ...... A token of love?

What's going on?

Don't think about it so much, just go ahead and have a look.

The four of them returned to the stable together, and saw that Maple Leaf had recovered a little spirit, his ears were moving, and his tail began to flick around.

Ji Fa stepped forward and surrounded again

Maple Leaf carefully examined it and confirmed its physical condition.

"It's okay.

Returning to Yingzheng's side, Ji Fa said, "It seems that the internal fire in its body has almost leaked out, and it will no longer block the passage with feces, what is needed most now is indeed to replenish nutrients and take care of it."

"Master, is there a way to get the young leaves?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Hehe, Lees is right." Ji Fa said with a smile, "During this time, it is indeed good for it to eat some grass and young leaves every day, and with the nutrients of the original grain seed, it will definitely recover quickly, but it is ......."

"Just what?" Ying Zheng asked a little anxiously.

"It's just that our original grain seeds are too old and need to be processed before they can be used." Ji Fa said, "The ones that the old man gave you before have also been processed."

"What needs to be done, isn't it difficult?" Ying Zheng asked tentatively.

"It's not that hard to get there." "Soak the grain seeds in wine overnight, add some salt when you put them in, and wash them with vinegar when you take them out."

"It's not hard." As soon as Ying Zheng's words came out, his expression changed again, "Master, this maple leaf's ration is very easy to handle, but does the entire four layers of raw grain seeds need to be handled like this?"

Ji Fa didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.

Ying Zheng's heart suddenly galloped.

Not to mention the amount of these materials used, the number of people who handle the grain seeds alone is not a small amount.

"What grains do you need for maple leaves?" Ying Zheng then asked.

Ji Fa said, "Find pen and ink, the old man will write it on it, and then we will go to the royal tomb again and bring back the grain we need."

"But ......," Ying Zheng wondered, "which alloy barrels are the same, how do we choose these different grains?"

"Rest assured, all grains are placed in an orderly manner, and there will be no mistake in selecting them according to the direction." Ji Fa said.

"That's good." Ying Zheng dispelled his concerns, "Then shouldn't we send the Jing family class?"

"Yes." Ji Fa nodded and said, "However, explain the situation in advance, so as not to cause panic among the craftsmen because of random suspicions."

is afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, which is probably one of the reasons why Ji Fa took Yingzheng and Jing Fan to visit the tomb in advance.

Jing Fan said on the side, "In this case, then I will rush back immediately and organize all the craftsmen."

"I'll go with you." Li Si said, "The equipment used to open the alloy barrel is still in the Jing kiln, so we have to prepare it too."

"Good!" Ying Zheng said, "Go ahead, try to come back as soon as possible."

The two of them answered, got up and rushed to Jingyao, and Ji Fa and Yingzheng also walked out with them.

"Nervous, aren't you?" Ji Fa looked at Ying Zheng and asked.

"Hey, that's a little bit." Ying Zhenghan said with a smile.

Ji Fa also smiled and said, "I heard you just now, I want Sima Hong to find the branches and leaves left by the previous cultivation of grain seeds, can you find them?"

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "This is just an idea, and the specific situation is unknown."

As he was talking, he saw two people walking quickly from the direction of the palace gate.

It was Sima Hong's father and son.

"Your Majesty, Senior Ji." When they approached, Sima and his son bowed their hands at the same time.

"You're coming so fast." Ying Zheng said.

"Hmm." Sima Hong said, "Senior Ji didn't go back to Sima Mansion yesterday, and I sent someone to inquire to find out that Senior Ji stayed in the palace."

"Yes, originally we wanted to enter the palace to pick up Senior Ji, but Zhao Gao sent someone to say that the king had an urgent matter to find us, so we came in advance." Sima Jie added.

"That's right." Ying Zheng said briefly, "The maple leaf is sick, and now I need to replace the hay with young grass and green leaves to feed it, Li Si just said that after you cultivate the grain seeds, there may be some branches and leaves, so I am in a hurry to call you over."

"Don't say it, this

There are really green branches and leaves." "With last year's experience, this year I asked the farmers to pick the grain, keep all the branches and leaves, and move it to a warm room with the soil, so most of them are still not dry

。」

"Yes." Sima Jie said, "My father's original intention was to see how much stronger the vitality of this original grain seed is than ordinary ones, but I didn't expect that it can help now."

"Hehe, that's great." Ying Zheng said happily, "How many can there be?"

"It's hard to say, you won't know until you see it." Sima Hong thought for a moment and said, "However, it shouldn't be too much, after all, the number of raw grain seeds is limited."

"No matter how much it is, get it back." Ying Zheng said quite resolutely, "And be quick, you set off immediately and take back the vicinity of Xianyang first."

"Yes!" Sima and his son answered, took their leave, and left the palace quickly.

Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Ying Zheng's mood finally eased.

"Hehe, I said I wasn't nervous." Ji Fa quipped, "I see that you are in a hurry, I can't wait to let the two of them fly over with wings."

"Hehe, it's about the safety of Maple Leaf, it's false to say that it's not in a hurry." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "However, with the presence of the master, I know that it will definitely be fine."

"Well, let's go back to the stables." Ji Fa said.

Ying Zheng nodded and accompanied Ji Fa back to the stable.

Zhao Gao was next to the stable, directing a group of eunuchs to tidy up the venue, and when he saw Ji Fa and Yingzheng coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Your Majesty, Maple Leaf's new stable, how about choosing here?" Zhao Gao pointed to the site that was being cleaned up and asked.

Ying Zheng looked around at the situation, nodded, and said, "Well, yes, it's quieter, it's not far from the aisle, so it's here."

"Okay, then when the people from the Jing family class come, we can start construction." Ying Zheng said, explained a few more words, and then accompanied Ji Fa into the stable.

What Ying Zheng didn't expect was that Hu Yu, who was originally sent back by Zhao Gao to rest, sat next to Maple Leaf and watched it quietly.

"Why are you back again?" Ying Zheng stepped forward and asked.

"Shhhhhhhh......h

Ying Zheng and Ji Fa both slowed down and came to Hu Yu's side softly.

"Hu Yu has seen his predecessors." Hu Yu gave a salute to Ji Fa.

In today's harem, everyone knows that this white-bearded old man is an old-timer that King Qin admires very much.

Ji Fa nodded and smiled at Hu Yu in return.

"The widow asked you, why didn't you come back again?" Ying Zheng asked.

"I can't rest assured." Hu Yu still said softly, "I went back to sit for a while, but I was worried that Maple Leaf would feel cold, so I brought some clothes over and put it on."

Ying Zheng looked down at the maple leaf, and sure enough, he saw that there was an extra quilt on its body.

"Looks like you really care about it." Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Of course." Hu Yu pursed his lips.

"How's it doing now?" Ying Zheng asked.

Hu Yu looked at the maple leaf, his eyes full of pity: "I was probably tired from tossing, so I fell asleep, but it seems that I have returned to my usual sleeping appearance."

"Let the old man see it again." Ji Fa rolled up his sleeves and lightly circled the maple leaf twice.

As if sensing the noise around him, Maple Leaf opened his eyes and woke up, straightened his neck, looked at the three people in front of him, and then gasped twice.

"Hehe, it looks like it's not a big problem." Ji Fa said with a smile, "It's just that with the young leaves, it will recover a little more slowly."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng was overjoyed and said, "Could it be that Master Fei has a better way."

Ji Fa sighed lightly and said, "I originally thought that this matter of teaching you alchemy would be carried out at the end, but now it seems that you have to make plans early."

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment before reacting,

Then he said happily: "What does Master mean, let me refine the elixir for Maple Leaf?"

"Yes, it's an elixir for livestock." The corners of Ji Fa's mouth raised a wicked smile, "It's about the safety of Maple Leaf, I guess you will definitely study with your heart."

Ying Zheng: "......"

Just learn, why did you bet on the maple leaf.
