Chapter 324: Attacking the Xiongnu in the North
Ying Zheng caressed the red beast egg in front of him, imagining the scene of it breaking out of its shell and the face of the miniature version of Xi.
Not to mention, it's kind of cute.
However, it has a new name, the Year Beast.
Ying Zheng carefully wrapped the red egg in his coat, tied it around his waist, and held it in his arms with his left hand.
Jairus advised: "Deal with the influence of this place and then go back, the deity is waiting for you in Lishan." ”
"Okay." Ying Zheng responded, said goodbye to Jairway and Twenty-seven, and returned to the city.
In the next five days, Yingzheng visited many places to check the attitudes and reactions of the people.
Most of the people, in fact, are in the mood of joining in the fun, after all, they didn't see the night beast with their own eyes, they just slipped away, and the government did whatever they wanted, anyway, they were idle in winter.
The families of those who were injured or livestock were also compensated accordingly, and now the great revenge has been avenged, and it is indescribable gratitude to the Qin army, especially the king of Qin.
Some people asked about the firecrackers, and Yingzheng said that those firecrackers were given to him by a master of the world who was a fairy wind and bones, and used to rectify the night beast, and now that the master is gone, there will naturally be no firecrackers available.
All of a sudden, the King of Qin met the immortals and received help, and the word of punishing the night beast spread quickly.
The First Clan
There are still various versions.
There is a guess if the mon is the mount of the immortal.
There is an inquiry about which mountain King Qin met the immortals.
What's more, there are also people who ask if the immortal has a wife.
I don't know if Ji Fa will be stunned when he hears this.
After Ying Zheng gathered a wave of people's hearts again, he began to return to Qin with a large army.
When he returned to Hangu Pass, Yingzheng deliberately left Meng Wu behind to observe Luoyi's movements. Once Zhuge Teng and King Han collapsed, then Meng Wu could support him at any time, so as not to suffer a loss to Zhuge Teng.
If it really doesn't work, you can also use force to directly subdue it.
After the Hangu Pass, the people of Daqin heard that the King of Qin had got rid of the Xi Beast, and they all spontaneously organized, beat gongs and drums to welcome them, and many people also sent food to the soldiers to reward the soldiers.
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng felt very cordial.
Or the people of my hometown are sincere!
At the same time, he also realized one thing - all the firecrackers in South Korea were set off, and Daqin's were still kept.
How does this work?
Ying Zheng hurriedly sent a number of heralds to the counties and ordered all the people to set off all the firecrackers on the day King Qin returned to the palace.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xianyang Palace finally appeared in front of him, and Yingzheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
In this year, his time in Xianyang was added up, and there were only a few days in total.
first went to the Western Regions, became close to Wuchan, and after coming back, there was a sneak attack on Han Fei, and then he went to South Korea and stayed for a winter.
It's time to deal with the government and politics quickly, and there are ......
Those women who accompany the harem.
And children.
The ministers lined up outside the east gate to greet him and welcomed the king of Qin back to the palace.
"Changping-kun, is there anything important during this time?" Ying Zheng asked Changping Jun beside him.
Changping Jun arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, there are indeed a few important things waiting for the king to come back and deal with." ”
"Tell me about it."
Changping Jun seemed to have opened the conversation: "There is a messenger who claims to be the envoy of the Dawan Kingdom, saying that he wants to discuss business with the king, and he has been waiting for more than a month. ”
"There is also a group of people who say that they are from the Elite Country, and they say that they will wait for King Qin to divide a piece of land."
"There was also news from Yiqu Gong in Longxi that several Xiongnu tribes often attacked Longxi, and then moved towards the Hexi Corridor."
"Meng Tian brought back a person with a rather mysterious identity, and he didn't say his name, and he came to ask me every day when the king would come back
。 ”
……
Ying Zheng was said to have a big head.
I haven't been back for a long time, and I've accumulated so many things to deal with.
And when it comes to the person brought back by Meng Tian, Ying Zheng is particularly concerned.
Nine times out of ten, it was the heir of the sword-making family that Ji Fa asked him to find before, and this matter was also closely related to the destruction of 'my weapon'.
I've been busy with Chinese New Year's Eve for the past few months, but I forgot about it.
"Go and tell the man, and take him to the widow's study." Ying Zheng said eagerly.
Changpingjun was a little confused: "Uh...... Dare to ask which one the king is talking about? ”
"It's the one Meng Tian brought back." Ying Zheng said, "What about Meng Tian? ”
Meng Tian was also in the crowd of greetings, heard Ying Zheng's order, answered, turned the horse's head, and walked away.
Back in the palace, Ying Zheng asked Mrs. Huayang, Mrs. Xia and Zhao Ji respectively, and then returned to the study.
A tall figure, together with Meng Tian, was already guarding the door of the study.
I saw that the man had a dark complexion, a good appearance, and was dressed as a woodcutter.
Meng Tian stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, this is the person you asked me to find." ”
The man bowed slightly, and at the same time looked Ying Zheng up and down.
"Go and call Li Si and bring another 'I device'." Ying Zheng gave Meng Tian an order, and then let the man into the house.
After sitting down, Ying Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "May I ask sir, the honorable name?" ”
The man arched his hand and said, "Back to King Qin, the village husband doesn't have a big name, and everyone else calls me Ah Jiu." ”
Ying Zheng knew that he didn't want to reveal his name, and there must be some secret that could not be known.
Although Meng Tian had already found the mysterious family with a code word, he could not fully gain their trust.
"Hehe, I heard that Your Excellency is quite knowledgeable in sword forging." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "The widow got a kind of ancient divine weapon by accident, and I want to ask Mr. to help taste it." ”
Ah Jiu's brows moved, but he regained his peace in an instant: "Presumably, King Qin misheard some rumors, he made a living by chopping wood and logging trees, and lived in the mountains and forests for generations, how could he have that kind of ability." ”
At this moment, Meng Tian and Li Si entered the door.
Li Si held a long wooden box in his hand, and Meng Tian held a 'self-instrument' in his hand, which was immediately placed on the table in front of Ying Zheng.
"This is the ancient divine weapon, called 'My Weapon'." Ying Zheng said as he pushed the 'self' device to Ah Jiu's approach.
Ah Jiu's expression changed suddenly, although he didn't reach out to touch it, the curiosity, eagerness and anticipation in his eyes had already betrayed his mind.
Ying Zheng continued: "According to legend, this divine weapon was created by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and used it to defeat Chiyou, but after the unification of China, these divine soldiers were destroyed by the Yellow Emperor, and not long ago, the widow just re-forged this divine weapon, but I don't know where else needs to be improved, so I invited Mr. ”
The words have been said clearly enough, and the person who can recreate the 'self' should be able to explain his identity.
Ah Jiu's eyes were still a little hesitant.
Li Si said on the side: "Dare to ask Mr.'s clan, but Ou Clan? ”
Hearing this, Ah Jiu had no worries, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said, "Grass people Ouping, please meet the Lord." ”
Ying Zheng hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Do you still doubt the identity of the widow now?" ”
Ou Ping said: "It's a matter of clan affairs, and I hope the lord will forgive me." I am the descendant of Ou Yezi's ancestors, and for hundreds of years, the clan has lived in seclusion, not summoned by heaven, and cannot reveal my identity. ”
Seeing him tell the truth, Ying Zheng smiled happily: "Okay, in order to completely dispel your doubts, the widow will show you another treasure left by the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor." ”
At this time, Li Si put the wooden box in front of Ying Zheng.
beat
Opening the box, Ying Zheng took out an accessory-like object, wrapped in red satin.
When the silk is opened, the golden light suddenly shines, dazzling and dementoring.
"This, this ......," Oping stammered, "this is really...... Xuanyuan Sword? ”
Ying Zheng pulled out the scabbard, revealing the beautiful golden sword body, and said, "It's like a fake." ”
Ou Ping's legs were weak, and he wanted to kneel down again, but he was pulled by Yingzheng.
"Not an outsider, don't always salute." Ying Zheng said, "Now you don't have any doubts." ”
Ou Ping said with a little shame: "The lord forgive me, the ancestors have an order, unless the European clan sees the heirs of the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor, they are not allowed to disclose their identities." ”
Ying Zheng nodded, expressing understanding, and then asked, "Your forging skills have not been interrupted, right?" ”
"Nope." Ou Ping said with great certainty, "Unless the incense is broken, the inheritance will not dare to stop." ”
"That's good." Ying Zheng said, "This time I found you, and the widow wanted to forge the last divine weapon named 'Chixiao'. ”
"No problem!" Ou Ping said categorically, "Although the clan has never actually forged a finished product in the past hundred and ten years, the skill has never relaxed its practice, but this material needs a certain amount of time to collect. ”
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome, just melt this 'me' and rebuild it." ”
"Okay." Ou Ping responded, "It's just that it's difficult for me to take on the important task alone, and I need to find other people in the family to come and help." ”
"Of course that's good." Ying Zheng said, "But before you go back, you have to go to Lishan first, talk to the widow's master, and he will explain the specific matters to you." ”
For the "master" in King Qin's mouth, the Ou family, who know some of the Tiancheng system, can basically guess a rough idea.
Ying Zheng instructed Meng Tian a few more words, and ordered Meng Tian to take Ou Ping to Lishan to find Ji Fa.
Seeing the two leaving, Li Si smiled evilly and said, "Your Majesty, you have pushed this black cauldron to the master again." ”
Ying Zheng said with a little embarrassment: "The smelting secret book that has been guarded by the buried family for thousands of years, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to accept it if he says it all at once." Besides, this was originally Shizun's idea, and with his identity, he would definitely be able to convince the Ou family. ”
"That's it." Li Si said, "After all, at the beginning, Ou Yezi forged many famous swords, and he personally planned them. ”
Ying Zheng: "......"
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Ou Yezi forged many famous swords, so he also achieved many emperors.
"At that time, the master wanted to choose an heir." Li Si explained, "It's a pity that after Gou Jian achieved great things at that time, his heart changed greatly, and he harmed many heroes, so Shizun gave up the idea of making him his successor." ”
Li Si's words seem to be an understatement, but they really give Ying Zheng a wake-up call.
No matter what, you can't be like Gou Jian, losing your heart and original intention.
At this time, Zhao Gao's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Xia has prepared a dinner party and beckoned the king to come over." ”
Ying Zheng responded and followed Zhao Gao to Huayang Palace.
Two grandmothers, a mother-in-law, and several harems are here.
The table is full of delicacies, and everyone has a bowl of Lantern Festival in front of them.
Mrs. Xia opened her mouth and said: "On the day the old body returned to the palace, didn't you say that you want to eat the Lantern Festival made by the old body every year, today is just the fifteenth day of the first month, and the old body has done more to catch the wind and wash the dust for you, and also celebrate your success on Chinese New Year's Eve and reunite with your family." ”
At this time, I only heard the crackling sound outside.
According to the instructions, the people began to set off firecrackers on the day King Qin returned to the palace.
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Okay! On the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, the widow has been set as Chinese New Year's Eve, and today, it is set as the Shangyuan Festival. ”
