The reason why Ying Zheng said that he exchanged food for Dawan's sweat and blood horse was not impulsive, but had been thinking about it for a long time.

Because of the existence of the original grain seeds!

Ever since a large number of original grains were brought back from the lower layers of King Wu's Mausoleum, Ying Zheng has been pondering how to better implement them.

And the ordinary seeds that the people originally cultivated have become obstacles.

By consuming the grain and seeds in the hands of the people, new grains will be introduced.

"You heard it right." Ying Zheng confirmed, "Not only military rations, but also grain seeds can be used as bargaining chips, and if they can't farm, then the widow can send someone there to teach them." ”

And the king's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently, "What about the number?" ”

Ying Zheng thought for a while and raised an index finger: "One horse, ten thousand buckets, regardless of male and female." ”

"Then ......," said the last king, after a pause, "what about the seeds?" ”

"Add thirty more buckets of seeds." Ying Zheng said, "That's all, if Dawan doesn't agree, then there's no way." ”

After thinking about it for a while, the king smiled and said, "If this is the case, this king still needs to write a letter to Dawan to discuss, if they don't agree, this king can't do anything." ”

"By the way, you can add some ordnance." Ying Zheng added, "Other than that, there is no gold or silver, no war horses and fat sheep. ”

"Hehe, okay, this king will convey the meaning of King Qin to King Dawan." And the last king raised his wine glass with a smile, "Come, drink." ”

It seems that the last king seems to have a plan in mind.

And according to his expression, Ying Zheng felt that it should not be a big problem.

The two chatted for a while, drank for a while, and then separated.

Coming out of the tavern, it was already dark, and Yingzheng went to the station of the first wave of caravans.

After some inquiry, knowing the whole experience of the first wave of caravans, Ying Zheng ordered them to go back first with the goods that Jing Jue was going to bring to Daqin.

Early the next morning, the happy event between King Qin and the Queen of Exquisite Perfection had spread throughout the entire Exquisite City.

The morning market was bustling with people talking about it in the streets.

"Have you heard, our queen is getting married?"

"Of course I heard that it is said that the king of Great Qin is specially here to propose marriage."

"The dowry is so rich, it's enough for you to spend dozens of lifetimes."

"If only I were so rich, I could marry a wife like a flower."

"Go dream."

"Hahaha......"

In the streets and alleys, groups of people of all ethnic groups gathered together, all expressing their opinions.

It seems that this news will soon spread throughout the Western Regions, which is exactly what Ying Zheng wants to see.

Because when the time comes, no one will make a fuss.

But it's not good if it's too publicized, after all, Huaxia is going to block the news, so you have to think of a way.

Ying Zheng was inspecting the goods, but he heard that the Queen of Excellence had come to him in person.

After welcoming out, he saw Wu Chan wearing ordinary clothes, leading the horse in front, followed by Thumb and Zhehuai.

"Tidy up, I'll take you somewhere." Wu Chan looked at Ying Zheng and said.

"Where?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Say it on the way." Uchan said, "Go early and come back early." ”

Ying Zheng didn't ask any more questions, tidied up his clothes, stepped on his mount, and followed Wu Chan and the others out of the camp.

Without waiting for Yingzheng to ask, Wu Chan said, "Let's go to Huoyan, and we will come back before dark." ”

"Okay." Ying Zheng responded.

Thumb said beside him: "This time is different from the last time, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

"Oh

？ Ying Zheng asked, "Why?" ”

"This time, I'm going to the real 'ghost cave'." Wu Chan pretended to be mysterious, "It is also known as the Demon Cave, and the reason why the Jingjue people are called the Ghost Cave Clan in the Western Regions is because of this Demon Cave." ”

Ying Zheng's brows tightened, and he seemed to realize something randomly.

The essence was originally settled here for the fire eye here, and near this fire eye, there is actually a demon cave?

Yingzheng, who has been to Huoyan many times, is naturally very clear about the details of Huoyan, and the important Huoyan in China are guarded by divine beasts, and their cave has naturally become the "magic cave" in the understanding of ordinary people.

Could it be that the fire eye here is also guarded by divine beasts?

Thinking of this, Ying Zhengle stopped his horse and stopped there.

"What's wrong?" Uzen also stopped his mount and asked aloud.

"I'll go back and get something." After that, Yingzheng turned his horse back to the big tent.

What he was looking for was nothing else, it was the Xuanyuan Sword that he always carried with him.

This is a token of the agreement with the dragons, and if you encounter any danger, you can also defend yourself.

Wu Chan didn't ask much, and continued to hurry forward with Yingzheng.

"Why is it called a demon cave?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"It's because there's something weird about it." "But it's just a legend, and no one has seen it." ”

Thumb said: "It is rumored that in that cave, there lived a huge beast, and at night, its breathing could be heard, and no one who went into the depths to explore came out alive. ”

This sentence further confirmed Yingzheng's speculation.

"Then since no one has ever seen this strange beast, how can we be sure that there really is a strange beast?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It's speculation indeed." Wu Chan said, "Since a thousand years ago, an expedition team entered and never came out, and then the Ancestor of the Absolute King at that time issued a ban on letting people enter the depths of the cave again. ”

Ying Zheng asked suspiciously: "Since the ban has been issued, what are we going to do there?" ”

"This one." Wu Chan said, "In the future, if you make a large number of dense stones, you need to ensure the safety of the ghost hands there, and secondly, the address of the construction of the royal tomb is very important, after we have studied it, we all feel that we can't be too far away from the fire eye, otherwise it will cost the people and money, so we ......"

"So you're going to make sure?" Ying Zheng asked.

Uzen nodded.

Thumb said: "The old man thinks that the cave in Lishan is very similar to the cave here in ours, so I want to ask King Qin to go with him to have a look." ”

"Are you afraid?" Uzen asked.

Ying Zheng smiled and quipped, "If you're not afraid, can you carry a sword?" ”

Several people were amused by Ying Zheng, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot.

"But then again, just look outside, but don't go into the depths." Uzen said worriedly.

It's better if she doesn't say this, but when she says this, it arouses Ying Zheng's curiosity: "What is there to be afraid of in that cave, even if there are really strange beasts, the widow has his own way." ”

"Don't take any chances, we can't afford to take any chances." Thumb said worriedly.

"Well, let's get there and see." Ying Zheng responded.

The four of them rode quickly to the location where the Fire Eye was.

Dismounted from the horse, handed over the horse to the ghost hand guarding here, and the four of them, led by the two ghost hands, headed towards a mountain belly.

"The reason why I came in a hurry is because it is safer during the day." Thumb said as he walked, "At night, it's even more dangerous." ”

"Senior Thumb, when you were in Lishan, didn't you also think that cave was a little weird?" Ying Zheng said, "And the craftsmen there don't have nothing to do, if they really don't worry,

You can seal the hole with a secret stone. ”

"King Qin doesn't know anything." Zhehuai said beside him, "There are many passages and exits in this underground cave, and it won't help to seal this one. ”

"That's right." Ying Zheng nodded.

The two ghost hands in front of them followed the previous markers and led them to the entrance of a cave in the belly of a mountain.

The entrance to the cave is relatively hidden, and a crooked-necked tree grows next to it.

"This is the entrance to another mountainside." Thumb said, "That devil's cave is in the belly of the mountain on the other side." ”

Ying Zheng looked around and asked, "How far is it from the Fire Eye?" ”

"It's not too far." Thumb pointed in one direction and said, "At the end of the mountain beam is the entrance to the eye of fire." ”

"Is this hole connected to the Eye of Fire?" Ying Zheng asked again.

"It's really not clear." Thumb said, "Maybe the connecting passage hasn't been found." ”

"Let's go, let's talk about it when we get to that cave." Ying Zheng said.

"Okay."

It was still the two ghost hands leading the way, and everyone entered the cave in front of them.

I don't know if it's the climate or something else, but the air in the cave is very dry and uncomfortable.

Twisting and turning through the cave, the six men came to the other end of the mountain.

The valley here is different from the outside, the light is a little dim, and you can't see any tall trees.

After crossing several hillsides, a hole appeared in front of him.

The hole in the ground slopes downwards and is bottomless.

"This is what you call the Devil's Cave?" Ying Zheng asked, the scene in front of him was not what he imagined.

"Not bad." Thumb said, "This is the entrance to the Devil's Cave." ”

Uchan added: "In the past, this was a forbidden area, and it was often guarded by guards. At night there was a faint cry from inside, which was what the guards had said in the past, and in the early years, the king at that time, seeing that there would be no great danger here, withdrew the guards. ”

I see.

Ying Zheng pondered for a while, picked up two torches, and said, "The widow goes in and has a look, you wait here, don't come in." ”

"How can this work?" Thumb snapped.

"yes, that's not going to work." Wu Chan also said anxiously, "There may be danger here, either don't go, or go together." ”

The First Cause of All Worlds

is about to get married, how can Wu Chan not care about his man, let alone in her land.

Ying Zheng said very seriously: "Since you have decided to build the royal tomb here, then you must be free from all concerns. Rest assured, this cave is an ordinary cave, even if there is anything unusual, the widow can resolve it, Daqin is like this, and so is Jingjing. ”

Ying Zheng's words are categorical and unquestionable.

"But ......" Wu Chan was still not at ease.

"Don't worry." Ying Zheng patted Wu Chan's shoulder, then took out his package and said, "The widow brought paint, which can be marked, but it can't be lost." ”

Thumb looked at Wu Chan, sighed lightly, and said: "Let King Qin take a look, maybe it is a threat to us, but for him, it is an opportunity." ”

Having been in Daqin for almost a year, Thumb has his own guesses about many things.

Seeing that his thumb said this, Wu Chan couldn't refute it, so he had to mutter: "Then if you insist on going, you must be careful, and come back immediately if you find danger." ”

"yes, okay." Ying Zheng prepared for a moment, lit the torch, glanced back at the three of them, and walked towards the depths of the cave.

"Be careful! ......" Wu Chan's worried voice came from outside the cave.

"Okay." Ying Zheng responded, and he was gone.
