Chapter 311: Two Horses
Ying Zheng took Wu Chan's hand and came to the place where the ghost hands fed the ice Gu.
The temperature here is not high, and it feels very cool, of course, because of the ice Gu.
Two women dressed as ghosts led the two of them into a hall.
The hall is very neat, and the surrounding walls appear to be made of dense stone, which is extremely smooth and neat.
Walking through the hall, there are several stone rooms inside, and I think it is the place where the ghost hands rest and live on weekdays.
It is estimated that because of the Queen's wedding, the place is unusually tidy, as if it has been renovated.
The two of them hadn't spoken since they walked into the cave, not knowing if it was because of nervousness or what.
"Uzen." Ying Zheng looked at Wu Chan and broke the silence in the stone room.
"Hmm." Wu Chan still seemed to be in a trance.
"Why don't you speak?" Ying Zheng asked.
"You, didn't you speak?" Uzen asked rhetorically.
"I don't really understand your etiquette, and I don't dare to talk much." Ying Zhengdao.
Wu Chan covered his mouth and smiled, seemingly much more relaxed: "What, are you afraid of offending the gods?" ”
Ever since Ying Zheng said that there were gods here, Wu Chan and the elders believed it.
Ying Zheng wanted to tease Wu Chan, so he said: "There's no way to offend, who told you to come according to your ancestral system." ”
"Humph!" Wu Chan pursed his lips and said, "Obviously, you don't want to make a big fuss." ”
"It's not much fanfare, you can also do it in the palace in private." Ying Zheng said with a straight face, "Who knew that the rules in your clan are so weird. ”
Wu Chan sighed lightly and said, "It's a bit weird, it's a little cautious here." ”
"Are you scared then?" Ying Zheng deliberately lowered his voice and asked.
Looking at Ying Zheng's expression, Wu Chan, who had already calmed down, couldn't help but be a little nervous.
"Hahaha......" Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, it won't come." ”
"How can you be so sure?" Wu Chan couldn't help but be a little skeptical.
Ying Zheng still smiled: "Since we promised to give it fat sheep, if it is unreasonable, unless those sheep don't want it." ”
Ying Zheng was just a joke, but it reminded Wu Chan.
"What you're saying is, I think we'll send it today." With that, Wu Chan got up and walked out of the stone room and explained a few words to the maid.
Returning to Yingzheng's side, Wu Chan seemed to feel much more at ease: "I asked the Great Elder to quickly send a live sheep. ”
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "It's good to send live sheep, but the entrance to the cave hasn't been sealed yet." ”
Thinking about it, Wu Chan and Thumb didn't enter the cave casually before, and the person who gave the sheep naturally couldn't enter the forbidden area.
"It's better to send it in person." Ying Zheng said, "It seems that I have to repair the entrance of the cave myself." ”
"How can this work?" Wu Chan complained slightly, "How can there be a reason for the groom to leave the bride on the wedding day." ”
It is true that it is not good to leave Wuchan in this stone room after all, Ying Zheng suddenly thought that the cattle and sheep he sent to Jairus before were all walked over by himself, so he said: "The gods here should be similar to those in Huaxia, before I sent cattle and sheep to the gods of Lishan, they all walked by themselves, now we just need to send the sheep into the hole, it will walk over by itself." ”
Wu Chan blinked his eyes and said, "This is strange, didn't you say that there is a labyrinth in the cave, don't sheep get lost?" ”
Ying Zheng knew that if he continued to explain, he could only make it more and more unclear, and after thinking about it for a while, he told the things in Lishan, Jianxi and Xi.
Wu Chan listened to a mythical story, with a smile on his face, and the more he listened, the more curious he became.
Because of the relationship with Huaxia, there are many legends and speculations about Huaxia, and now listening to Yingzheng to tell the truth of the matter one by one, Wu Chan has also solved a lot of doubts in his heart.
"Your Majesty."
Wu Chan said softly, "You say that your most important duty is to deal with that calamity, so that the people can be in peace for a long time?" ”
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It is precisely after the natural source power is completely restored that the hidden dangers of the volcano and flood can be cured." ”
"Then, why don't you take the grinding disc of sand together and don't let it spread." Wu Chan said urgently.
Ying Zheng shook his head slowly: "This is really powerless. And, it seems, after the control, the desert may accelerate its spread. ”
"Why is that?" Uchan asked.
"According to Shizun, it was because of the energy leakage of the natural source force that was destroyed earlier, which led to geological changes." Ying Zheng explained, "And only when this force is unwound can the natural source force be completely restored." ”
"I see." As for the reason for the formation of the desert, Wu Chan finally understood a rough idea.
"The widow knows that you have a grudge against the desert." Ying Zheng continued, "The widow is not like this, you must know that the Yellow River, which is the most important for China, will also become turbid and turbulent because of this incident, and it will no longer be able to nourish the fertile soil and irrigate the fertile land as before. ”
Wu Chan blinked his eyes and sighed: "In this way, Huaxia is also a huge loss." ”
"Therefore, when the time comes, the widows will not only unify the six countries, but also expand their territory more." Yingzheng suddenly burst out with a heroic spirit.
Wu Chan is also the head of a country, of course she also has this feeling, but after all, as a daughter's family, her ambition is not so big.
The two talked about it, and it was already dark.
Ying Zheng picked up Wu Chan and walked to the bed.
Wu Chan buried his head in Yingzheng's chest, feeling his warmth and tenderness.
Early the next morning, the couple walked out of the stone room hand in arm, crossed the hall where the ice Gu was fed, and came to the outside of the ghost cave.
The Great Elder and Thumb, with all the elders, were already waiting at the entrance of the cave, and when they saw the two of them coming out affectionately, they bowed down in unison: "See the new master!" ”
The words of greeting were obviously said to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that he had just married the queen, and even his title had changed.
Seeing that Yingzheng was a little stunned, Wu Chan touched his arm and whispered, "They are talking to you." ”
Ying Zheng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "The elders are flat, and the few can't afford it. ”
The elders stood up with respectful expressions on their faces.
The Great Elder said, "Since the Lord is married to the King, he is naturally my Lord. ”
Ying Zheng said in his heart, they can call it whatever they like, so he turned to ask: "I don't know what should happen next according to the ancestral system?" ”
"Next, we should have been patrolling the people's situation everywhere, but since we are all low-key, then this link will be avoided." The Great Elder said.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Although it is inconvenient to make a big show, but it is good to have a play, it is inconvenient for you to enter the forbidden area of the demon cave, and the widow called Meng Yi After they filled the cave, they took Wuchan to play." ”
"It's all up to the Lord." The Great Elder said.
After everyone returned to the palace, Ying Zheng ran directly back to the camp and took Meng Yi, Suo Lin, and Qiang Qi to the demon cave.
"Your Majesty, have you really visited the Queen of Wuchan?" Meng Yi, who was riding on horseback, asked Ying Zheng with a grin.
There were only these four people on the road, and Ying Zheng had nothing to hide: "Yes, but it's not called a worship hall here, it's done according to the rules of the ghost cave clan." ”
"Well, this sister-in-law is not simple." Qiang is serious on the surface, but in fact he is ridiculing Yingzheng.
"Yes, Brother Wang is either married to the princess of various countries, or the queen of the Western Regions, and I don't know when our brothers will have this blessing." Thorin followed suit.
"You are laughing at the widows again." Ying Zheng smiled bitterly, "The reason why the widow is in a hurry to marry Wuchan is that on the other hand, he also wants to settle the matter of Jingjue's eastward migration as soon as possible. ”
"Well, yes, this
As soon as it comes, there is no more to say. Meng Yi said.
"Not really." Thorin said, "Jing is by no means more righteous than us, and there will always be some people who are reluctant to benefit from the immediate and want to stay." ”
"Yes, the widow also thinks so, after all, it is indeed a pity to leave such an empty city." Ying Zheng said with regret.
"The Great Age of Genes"
Qiang said: "Then it's better to use this empty city to make a fuss." ”
Ying Zheng knew that Qiang was very wise, and whenever it was critical, he could say the key thing in one sentence, so he asked, "Oh? Tell me, what article to do? ”
Qiang Qi sorted out his thoughts and said: "In China, the nations often fight for a city, which shows the importance of the city. Why doesn't Brother Wang regard this impregnable city as a great favor. ”
Ying Zheng faintly guessed the meaning of Qiang, but still asked, "Human favor?" What do you mean......"
"In my opinion, since we are trading here, it is better to treat this exquisite city as a commodity, and it is not bad to give it to Loulan." Qiang Qi explained, "Then the king of Loulan has been cheapened, so he naturally needs to comply with some of our conditions. ”
This is a good method, and it may be useful for future millennium plans.
"Well, that's good." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Loulan is the gateway to the Western Regions, if Loulan owes us a big favor, it will also have a great impact on future generations." ”
Among the three people, only Meng Yi knew about King Qin's thousand-year plan, and knew that Yingzheng wanted to keep some back, so he said: "Before we wait, let's start talking about selling people's cities, I don't know what my sister-in-law thinks, haha." ”
"yes, haha." Thorin laughed.
"That's right." Ying Zheng seemed to have thought of something, "After the widow took you to the demon cave, you became familiar with the labyrinth, take a few people to block the entrance of the cave, and then build a small altar at the entrance of the cave, and the widow wants to worship a person." ”
After entering the demon cave, Ying Zheng remembered a person, that is, Liu An, who died in Lishan, that is, Liu Bang's brother.
"The king wants to worship Liu An, right?" Meng Yi asked.
Ying Zheng nodded: "It's almost his sacrifice day, I can't go to Lishan this year, let's worship him here." ”
Suorin and Qiang Qi didn't know Liu An, but looking at Ying Zheng's solemn expression, they knew that this matter was quite important to Ying Zheng, so they nodded yes one after another.
——————
A secluded mountain village in the northern part of the Chu Kingdom.
Liu Bang slowly poured a pot of warm wine in front of a stone tablet, and his movements were very delicate and gentle.
Beside him, a strong man was lighting incense and bowing to the stone tablet.
The wine in the jug has been dripped, but Liu Bang's hand is still hanging there, as if time has stood still at this moment.
"Abang." The strong man spoke up, "The wine has dried up." ”
Liu Bang came back to his senses, put down the wine jug, sighed lightly, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "Brother Fan, I really miss my brother." ”
This strong man is none other than Fan Xu.
"It's been a few years, and it's time for you to let go of the baggage in your heart." Fan Xu said, "Your brother also wants you to live well for him, doesn't he?" ”
"It's okay to put it down." Liu Bang clenched his fists, "But I don't know how to avenge this revenge." ”
Of course, Fan Xu knew what was on his mind, patted Liu Bang on the shoulder and said, "I know you hate that King Qin, but if you want to take revenge, you must also have a chance." If you want to assassinate, you can't do martial arts, you have to raise troops against him, you don't have soldiers and horses. ”
This deliberate rush made Liu Bang's heart tremble suddenly.
"If you can't do it yourself, won't you lend someone else's hand?" Liu Bang's hand clenched tighter.
"Okay, we have time, when you've had enough of your study tour, let's figure out this matter again." Fan said, "It's not too early, let's go back." ”
Liu Bang got up, sorted out his clothes and mood, and followed Fan Xu to the south.
