Chapter 303: Proposed
Ying Zheng led the team across the Yellow River, marched forward, and came to Wangdong City.
The Xiqiang army here has long since withdrawn, and Xu Wan's troops have taken over here.
In the spring, the land is recovering, and the soldiers here are building the city defenses, and some people are working outside.
Knowing that it was the King of Qin who came, the soldiers were in high spirits and gathered at the gate of the city to greet them.
The Qin army is really different from the Xiqiang army, the army is neat and the morale is high.
After a short rest, continue westward and go straight to Jiayuguan.
After nearly a year of repair, Jiayuguan has changed its appearance, the city defense has been renewed, the scale has more than doubled, and the city wall is thicker, stronger and taller.
The fortifications inside and outside the city were still going on.
It seems that Xu Wan has already built the city wall, and only other fortifications are left to strengthen.
"General Xu, if the widow immigrates here, there should be no problem, right?" After inspecting the circle, Ying Zheng looked at Xu Wan and said.
"Your Majesty." Xu Wan arched his hand and said, "I'm afraid that in this barren land, no one wants to take the initiative to come."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The widow plan is to let some prisoners come here, and then there are displaced people."
"This ......," Xu Wan's expression stiffened slightly.
"Widows know it's a bit difficult for you to manage these people." Ying Zheng paused and said, "However, it is not an easy task to expand the territory in the past dynasties, and few people believe that you have this ability."
In fact, Xu Wan was just hypocritical, no matter how difficult it was, he would not back down, not to mention that he had already been mentally prepared.
"Wechen will definitely open up a prosperous Liangzhou." Xu Wan arched his hand and said, "If there is no improvement in three years, the king will be replaced."
"Hehe, there's no need to change people." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "You only need to promise the widow, whether it is now or in the future, if the descendants of the widow are in trouble, you must provide them with a place of refuge."
"We're under the order." Although Xu Wan didn't understand Yingzheng's intentions, his answer was not ambiguous.
"Not only you, but your descendants will do the same, remember?" The purpose of Yingzheng is to make this Hexi Corridor a hidden place for future generations.
"Wechen wrote it down." Xu Wan replied simply.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "This task of yours is quite secretive, it is possible that you have taken root in this Liangzhou, is there anything else to worry about in your hometown?"
Xu Wan thought for a while and said, "Old mother at home, I can bring him here, but I still have a brother, I hope that the king will bring him back to Xianyang to cultivate and cultivate, and maybe he can contribute to the temple in the future."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng asked, "What's his name?"
"His name is Xu Fu." Xu Wan said, "This year will be crowned."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "What does he like?"
"Since he was a child, he has loved to heal the sick and save people, and refine medicinal materials." Xu Wan replied.
"Okay." Ying Zheng said, "You write a letter, and the widow ordered someone to take him to Xianyang."
"Hmm." Xu Wan wrote a letter and sent it to his younger brother Xu Fu at home.
Ying Zheng then inquired about the situation of the first wave of caravans, and then repaired for a day and continued to set off with the team.
This time there was no company of the King of Xiqiang, but there were still Qiang and Thorin with him.
There was no Xiqiang king to deliver the prayer post, but Yingzheng sent someone to send the letter of state.
Like last time, I passed through the Yumen Pass smoothly and went directly to Loulan City.
A few days later, the Loulan King City appeared in sight.
King Loulan seems to be a little blessed again, and there is more fat on his face, it is estimated that he is in a good mood because of trading with Daqin during this time, so his appetite is also good.
"King Qin!" King Loulan laughed and said, "It's been a long time, how are you doing?"
King Loulan speaks a broken Chinese language, and it seems that he has put a lot of effort into this time.
"Hehe, the blessing of the king of Torulan, everything is fine with the widow." Ying Zheng responded with a smile.
King Loulan and Ying Zheng
Walk side by side and enter the main hall.
"King Qin, did you bring those clothes that this king customized before?" King Loulan asked.
This is what he cares about the most, and it is estimated that the harem is urging too tightly.
"Of course I did." Ying Zheng said, "Not only the ones you have set, but also many other styles. Now, you can sell it to those nobles."
King Loulan laughed heartily, as if he could see the Adam's apple in his throat.
After a brief greeting, Ying Zheng inquired about the first wave of caravans, only to learn that they had arrived at the Essence and were personally escorted by King Gemo.
It seems that although the last king is fierce, he is also very trustworthy.
And one of the purposes of coming to the Western Regions this time is to meet the king of the end and inquire about the matter of sweat and blood.
After only staying in Loulan for one day, Yingzheng said goodbye and went straight to Jingjue.
King Loulan knew that he would pass by here, so he didn't keep it, and the goods he prepared in the Western Regions were also waiting for Yingzheng to return and then take them.
The Exquisite Queen was about to be seen, and the Ying Zheng ordered the team to speed up.
Where Lu captured the last year and the last king, Yingzheng also deliberately looked around, probably subconsciously worried about any more robbers.
However, the journey was peaceful.
Finally, on this day, twenty miles away from the Elite City, Ying Zheng's team was stationed, and after making some preparations, Pai Mengyi sent a letter.
This time, it was still Zhehuai who greeted Yingzheng.
"Long time no see, Brother Zhehuai." Before Zhehuai could speak, Ying Zheng took the lead in speaking.
"Haha, King Qin, long time no see." Zhehuai's tone was particularly cordial.
"Uzen...... How is she?" Ying Zheng's voice was softer, and he lost a little confidence.
"Hehe, she's fine, too." Zhehuai looked at Yingzheng with a smile and said, "It's just that sometimes, it's easy to be stunned."
"Stunned?" Ying Zheng asked inexplicably, "Why?"
Zhehuai laughed and said, "We don't understand the girl's mind."
Ying Zheng understood what Zhehuai meant, and smiled awkwardly.
"Go, and follow me into the palace." Zhehuai said.
"Well, wait a day, the widow will have to prepare." Ying Zheng said.
"Ready?" Zhehuai was surprised, "There is nothing lacking in the palace, what else is there to prepare?"
"This ......," Ying Zheng seemed embarrassed to say.
"O king, he wants to prepare a dowry." Thorin has a straight temperament, and when he saw Yingzheng spitting out, he said it directly.
"Hahaha...... Zhehuai said with a smile, "I see, then I'll come back tomorrow."
After that, Zhehuai was about to leave, but was stopped by Yingzheng.
"You can go later, and tell the widow about the wonderful things that happened during this time, and how Uncle Thumb has been doing when he returns."
"Wait a minute, your lord, I'll go and call Uncle Thumb." Zhehuai turned and walked out of the tent door to find his thumb.
About an hour later, Thumb followed Zhehuai to the big tent.
"Thumb Senpai, how's the situation going over here?" Although he hadn't seen him for a while, Ying Zheng was very kind when he saw his thumb.
Or maybe he was anxious.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for two months, you seem to have strengthened a lot." Thumb deliberately sells
A pass.
"It's the same as before." Ying Zheng asked anxiously, "What do the elders mean by what we said before?"
Thumb didn't always joke, so he said, "The elders have actually discussed it a long time ago, and the few who disagree have basically been convinced."
"Haha, that's great." Ying Zheng said happily and loudly, "If all the elders agree to move east, then there will be hope for the elite people."
"I can still let the king hold the beauty." The thumb still didn't forget to tease King Qin.
Ying Zheng: "......"
"Uncle Thumb, you're
Don't laugh at King Qin, let's tell them our etiquette." Zhehuai said.
Thumb smiled and nodded, and began to explain some details to Yingzheng.
Early the next morning, Ying Zheng carefully freshened up, put on a splendid royal robe, put on a delicate crown, rode a tall horse, and visited the exquisite queen in a very formal manner.
The same is true of Wuzen, who welcomes distinguished guests from afar with the highest standards of the country.
Outside the city, elite sergeants rode in a procession to greet the distinguished guests.
Further on, there are ghost hands dressed in the unique costumes of the Oni Cave Clan.
Behind the ghost hands are the elite elders.
In the middle of the elders, a richly dressed girl stood straight ahead.
The noble costumes set off the peerless beauty, and among the people, it shows its beauty, like a crane standing among the chickens, arrogant and beautiful.
finally saw the person who thought about it day and night, and when Yingzheng was excited, he also kept a little cold awake.
"Qin Wangzheng, I have seen the Absolute King." Ying Zheng's sentence was quite rigorous, and he said the identities of both parties very solemnly, and did not carry the word "queen", expressing his respect for the throne of Wuchan.
"This royal generation is a superb citizen, welcome the arrival of the King of Qin." Wu Chan also said solemnly, "Please enter the main hall."
After that, Uzen made a "please" gesture.
Ying Zheng ordered the others to stay, only with Meng Yi, Suo Lin, and Qiang Qi.
Came to the main hall, Wuzen gave the seat.
"King Qin." The Great Elder of the Elite said in a loud voice, "This time I went to the Essence again, but for the sake of trade?"
"Yes." Ying Zheng replied, "The widows have sent a caravan, they should be here."
"They've been here for a while." Uzen said, "And the price of the goods and the accounting of the money have been determined with the refinement."
"That's good." Ying Zheng's heart was much more steady, "There wasn't anything wrong in the middle, right?"
"It's fine." The Great Elder said, "They were personally sent to the Essence by the King of the End of the Emperor, and I heard that the King of Qin was going to come in person, and the King of the End has been waiting here, saying that he has something to tell the King of Qin."
"Well, later, the widow will go to see him." Ying Zheng said, "Those merchants of the widow should also be in the city."
"Yes, the king has settled them." Uzen said, "You'll see them later."
Ying Zheng nodded, sat upright, and said, "This matter is not urgent. In fact, there are more important things besides trade."
"Oh?" The Great Elder feigned surprise and said, "Is there something more important? King Qin, please speak."
Ying Zheng cleared his throat, let go of his voice, looked directly at Wu Chan, and said, "The widow came to the essence this time, but it is actually ......."
Halfway through the sentence, there was no sound again.
The entire hall was silent, and all eyes were focused on Ying Zheng.
A drop of cold sweat flowed down Yingzheng's neck, he settled down, clenched his fists, looked at the Great Elder and said, "Widow, you are here to ask for a kiss."
