Lishan, the big tent of the Chinese army. Ying Zheng opened the bag in his hand and poured out the colorful beans inside.

Thumb, who sat across from him, was immediately attracted by the colorful beans.

"I've heard about farming in China for a long time, but I never imagined that I could grow such colorful beans." Thumb asked with a slight suspicion,

"You can't dye it, do you?"

"Of course not." Ying Zheng said with a smile,

"This kind of seed is called the original seed of five grains, which is left over from ancient times and has the source power of the five elements. These five colors represent the five attributes of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water among the five elements. ”

"Wood... Fire, earth... Gold... Water? Thumb muttered word by word, apparently never touching the concept.

Ying Zheng nodded and patiently explained: "The power of the five elements is contained in all things in the world, and they are mutually reinforcing, in addition to the five grains, there are many things that are classified because of the power of the five elements. ”

"The five senses, the five senses, and the five organs of humans and animals; five poisons in plants, five spices; There are also five tones, five rhythms, five flavors, and so on. The thumb seemed to understand it, and after pondering for a while, he sighed: "It is said that the Chinese civilization is unfathomable, and now I have only spied on the tip of the iceberg, which makes me shocked." ”

"Huh." Ying Zheng said with a smile,

"In this bag are only millet seeds, that is, beans, and other grains, which the widow has not brought."

"And four?" Thumb said,

"If you think about it, this original grain seed must be much stronger than the seed cultivated now."

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded and said,

"In terms of yield and resistance to diseases, it is much stronger than the ordinary seeds cultivated by the people."

"Hahaha......" Thumb laughed and said,

"This is a blessing for the people."

"So, seniors, don't worry that after Jingjue moves over, the widow won't be able to support you." Ying Zheng said,

"You can farm and graze at the same time." It turned out that Ying Zheng's purpose in taking out the original grain seed was to reassure his thumb.

After all, if there is any famine or disaster due to the migration of the whole country, it is not a joke, and everything that may happen must be anticipated in advance and risks should be avoided.

Thumb flicked the colored beans in front of him with his hand, smiled from ear to ear, and said, "In this way, the old man will have no worries." ”

"That's good." Ying Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and asked instead,

"How's it going over here?"

"Not bad." Thumb said,

"Ice Gu has completely adapted to the environment here, and has begun to spit out juice. The ghost hands also taught the first batch of craftsmen, and the next step is the process of the craftsmen practicing and teaching other craftsmen at the same time. ”

"yes, okay." Ying Zheng asked again,

"But what more help do you need?" Thumb smiled and said: "King Qin, you have enough food and drink, these craftsmen, they have a lot of physical exertion, you can't make them thirsty and hungry." ”

"Of course it's fine." Ying Zheng knew that his thumb was a ghost hand and a craftsman, and he had already prepared enough food and drink, so he still had to emphasize it again.

"Hehe, that's good." Thumb said with a smile,

"Let's go, the old man will take the king up to see the project."

"Let's go." Yingzheng got up and followed his thumb to the cave where the fire eye was. The place where ice Gu is raised is located in a cave near the eye of fire, probably connected to the underground river, this cave is a little moist, and the temperature is also low, which is very suitable for raising ice Gu.

Ying Zheng knew that it was a secret matter, so it was naturally difficult to go deep into it, so he just took a general look on the outside, and continued to walk towards the eye of fire.

In the hole of the fire eye, groups of instruments have been arranged in an orderly manner, and the first wave of craftsmen who have learned are wearing ice silk clothes and practicing next to the instruments.

Seeing that Ying Zheng was coming, the craftsmen were just about to get up to salute, but they saw Ying Zheng raise his hand to signal that he would be exempt from the salute and continued to operate.

The craftsmen knew that King Qin was here to inspect, so they all threw off their arms and sold a little more strength. The speed of the dense stone manufacturing sped up a few points, and Ying Zheng looked at it carefully from beginning to end.

"Yes, something like this." Ying Zheng complimented, then picked up a cooled dense stone and returned to his thumb.

"Thumb senior, is this dense stone made of qualified?" Ying Zheng handed the secret stone in his hand to his thumb. The thumb took the dense stone with residual warmth and examined it carefully.

In fact, the craftsmen have been carefully looking at the dense stones made by their hands in the past few days, and this time, because of the relationship between Ying Zheng, the thumbs have looked at it very carefully.

"It's not bad, but the texture is not completely uniform." Thumb said,

"But it's a lot stronger than before."

"How do I need to adjust?" Ying Zheng asked eagerly.

"It's not hard." Thumb pointing to an instrument and saying,

"The equipment that increases the pressure is the key, and the several people who operate it must be well coordinated, and the force must be controlled on the same level." Several craftsmen sitting next to the pressure-controlling device nodded earnestly at the same time, and then began to discuss with each other.

After a brief discussion, the apparatus started again, and a new dense stone was forged again.

"Well, some improvement." Thumb looked at the dense stone that had been made again, and said,

"Presumably, after a few more days of training, you will almost be able to make a fully qualified dense stone."

"Hehe, that's good." Ying Zheng said happily. When the craftsmen heard this, their confidence and spirit were strengthened.

"By the way, Senior Thumb, this fire eye, nothing unusual happened, right?" Ying Zheng looked in the direction of the fire eye and suddenly asked.

"There's nothing too big of an anomaly." Thumb turned his head to look at the black hole where he once lived, and said,

"The only thing that's weird is the black hole." Ying Zheng's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked, "That black hole?" What's out of the ordinary? Thumb's eyes narrowed, slowed down his speech, and said: "I used to think that the black hole was the entrance to the outside, so I ordered someone to light a torch to go in and investigate, the strange thing is that the fire of the torch seems to be suppressed by something inside, and the distance of the light is not as far as normal, and after going deep into it, there is a pit, and behind it is a stone wall." "This black hole, Yingzheng really hasn't been in it, so I don't know what it's like inside.

"Doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary." Ying Zheng said. Thumb leaned in front of Ying Zheng, pulled him to a corner, and said in a low voice: "There is nothing in this hole, but under the corner of the wall, some animal-like scales and hairs have been found, and, at some point in the middle of the night, from the bottom of the hole, there will be some faint gurgling and gurgling sounds. ”

"So I feel like this black hole is like a nest." Ying Zheng's brows moved, his heart tightened, and he asked anxiously: "This matter, don't you make a noise?" Thumb shook his head and said, "No." Except for the two ghost hands who entered the black hole, no one knows. Ying Zhengchang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since this black hole is strange, then order someone to seal this hole, don't really have any problems." ”

"Okay." The thumb answered, and he quickly laid it out to the front. At this moment, a ghost hand hurriedly ran in from outside, and said after saluting Yingzheng: "King Qin, Lord Meng Yi rushed over from Xianyang, saying that there is an urgent matter. Ying Zheng's heart tightened, and he asked urgently: "Where is he?" ”

"In the middle of the military tent." The ghost hand replied.

"Then you say to your thumb, and the widow will go back first." After Ying Zheng explained, he hurried back.

Along the way, Ying Zheng was not only nervous, but also a little nervous, because Meng Yi was so eager to chase him to Lishan, it must not be a trivial matter.

Back in the big tent, the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi were gathering together and talking about something. Seeing that Yingzheng was back, Meng Yi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Xianyang Palace has received several secret letters, and I am afraid that the matter is urgent, so I rushed over with the secret letters. With that, Meng Yi took out a few secret letters from his bag and handed them to Ying Zheng.

"Where did they come from?" Ying Zheng asked as he took the secret letter.

"One was sent by Li Si, and the other was sent by Zhuge Teng of Luoyi." Meng Yi said,

"There are two more letters, sent from the Western Regions." Ying Zheng sat on the chair, put a few secret letters on the table, and took the lead in opening Li Si's secret letters.

After reading the content of the secret letter, Ying Zheng couldn't help frowning, and unconsciously slapped the table: "This King Han, the widow doesn't want to have a liver with you, and you still treat yourself as a character!" Meng Tian saw that Yingzheng was angry, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, but what happened to Mr.?" ”

"Humph!" Ying Zheng said coldly,

"If I lend him ten more guts, I don't dare to do anything to Mr., but it seems that Mr. has become a hostage." Ying Zheng said as he handed over the secret letter to the Meng brothers.

The brothers read the contents of the secret letter together.

"Sir said that King Han wanted to ask for the equipment to make a flying crossbow." Meng Tian said.

"And you have to receive a letter from the king to confirm that you can let Mr. come back." Meng Yi followed. Ying Zheng sneered: "It seems that this time, if you don't give South Korea some color, they don't know who they are." Meng Tian thought for a while and dissuaded: "Your Majesty, let's not act rashly, and see what Zhuge Teng said." Ying Zheng nodded and opened Zhuge Teng's letter to read.

It turned out that this secret letter was what Li Si wanted to say to Yingzheng. After Li Si was left in Xinzheng by King Han, he wrote a letter to Ying Zheng according to King Han's wishes, which was the one Ying Zheng saw just now.

And in private, Li Si wrote another secret letter, asking Zhuge Ming to bring it back to Luoyi, hand it over to Zhuge Teng, and then transfer it to Yingzheng by Zhuge Teng's hand.

In this letter, Li Si warned Ying Zheng not to act rashly, he would not do anything, and that only if the king of Han agreed to let Han Xin enter Qin to assist in the construction of the canal, the Qin State could send the equipment for making flying crossbows to Korea.

The letter also said that Zhuge Teng had already expressed his intention to return to Qin, and he might come to Xianyang with Li Si.

Ying Zheng exhaled lightly, and his condensed brows finally relaxed: "It seems that Mr. has already planned for a long time, so he is in a hurry to go to South Korea, so it seems that Mr. will do what Mr. says, and the widow will reply to King Han immediately." "After that, Yingzheng will write a letter with pen and ink.

Meng Yi pointed to the remaining two secret letters and said, "Your Majesty, don't you want to take a look at these two letters?" Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Let's deal with the affairs of South Korea first." Soon, Ying Zheng wrote the letter, read it again, and then put it in a bag and put it in his arms.

Before sending it, it also needs to be stamped with a jade seal, so it can only be sent after returning to the palace. After receiving the letter he had just written, Ying Zheng opened the two secret letters from the Western Regions.

After reading the contents of the letter one after another, Ying Zheng smiled from ear to ear. These two secret letters, one from the end of the king, and the other from the queen of the Essence, Wu Chan.
