The entire Great Qin held a sacrificial event at the same time, which was unprecedented in scale.

Cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks were slaughtered innumerable, and the people worshipped the gods, praying that there would be no more strange beasts in the world, and that the coming year would be smooth and rainy, and that there would be no famine.

After experiencing the incident of the Night Beast, everyone was extremely pious, and their trust in King Qin exceeded any previous moment or era.

The most lively is Luoyi.

Luoyi is the main location of the Xi Beast activities, and the people take the sacrificial activities more seriously, and besides, this is also an excellent time to respond to Yingzheng and show favor to Daqin.

After the slightly elaborate ceremony was completed, the people began to throw the bamboo knots that had been prepared into their fires.

All of a sudden, the market, the houses, and the fields were all crackling.

Although the power is really different from that of firecrackers, there is no difference in meaning.

It is estimated that even if the night beast comes again, it will also be scared away.

Of course, those sacrifices should not be wasted, and they have all become snacks.

When people were celebrating the first anniversary of Chinese New Year's Eve, Yun Zheng, who had drunk a lot of wine, came to Zhao Gao's dormitory again.

If nothing else, the little guy is coming out.

The brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi hadn't drunk to their heart's content, but they couldn't find Yingzheng everywhere, and they found out that they had come here after inquiring, so they also followed.

This time, Ying Zheng no longer put the red egg on the sand pile, but took off his shirt and carried out the final hatching himself.

Meng Tian looked at it and couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Majesty, I said that I couldn't find you everywhere, so I was hiding here to hatch eggs." ”

Ying Zheng was slightly embarrassed and said: "According to the normal time, it will come out soon, isn't this moving inside now." ”

Meng Yi smiled: "Don't let him bite the king, let's come." ”

After that, Meng Yi took off his shirt and took the red egg.

"Let's rotate a few times, we can't let it out of sight this night." Ying Zheng said.

Meng Tian asked a little worriedly: "Your Majesty, it won't really bite, so let me come." ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "Even if you let it bite, how big can it be, how big can it be, and how big of meat can it bite?" ”

Just then, Qiang and Thorin also rushed over.

"Quick, quick, tell me to come first." Thorin said, "If it doesn't hatch, it will come out." ”

On weekdays, I take hatching eggs as a joke, and I have a few glasses of wine, but now I rush to come.

But what Thorin said is not unreasonable, when it comes out of the shell, there really won't be such a chance.

Meng Yi said angrily: "What's the hurry, I didn't look at the number, I'll give it to you when I'm hot." ”

Thorin gave him a blank look and said, "A quarter of an hour at most." ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Don't fight, I'm scared of the Nian Beast, and I want to ask for the guilt." ”

A few people laughed, stopped fighting, and stopped fighting.

Zhao Gao ordered people to prepare another table of banquets, and several people watched one of them hatch eggs while drinking, and the scene was indeed funny.

"Why did Li Si go, call him too." Ying Zheng said.

Meng Tian said: "The king intends to let Li Si serve as the prime minister, and the hundred officials are taking this opportunity to curry favor, and it is estimated that they are still dealing with it." ”

"That's right, the widow is so widowed that he ignores it." Ying Zheng said, "Forget it, let him go, it's the middle of the night." ”

Qiang Qi said: "Brother Wang, there will be no problems with the handover of power, after all, there is no major omission in Changpingjun." ”

"Don't worry, it's all appeased." Ying Zheng said, "Changping Jun is also willing to do this, and there is an agreement between him and the widow behind this." ”

Meng Tian said: "Changping Jun has a kind of attachment to Yingcheng, whether it is the ancient capital of Chu or the Western Chu army when he destroyed Chang Yu, he can't give up, so it seems that he has changed his power, but in fact, he has taken his pulse." ”

"Exactly." Ying Zheng said, "What's more, I also hope that this position of Xiangbang will be held by our own people." ”

Meng Yi said: "Your Majesty, I have been here, I have a question I want to ask you. ”

"You say." Ying Zhengdao.

Meng Yi took a sip of wine and said, "Then Wang Jian and his son, you also reuse it, but why don't you say everything like us, and list it as a Tiancheng lineage?" ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "In the eyes of the widow, all the courtiers can't be included in the Tiancheng lineage, there should be a division of labor, and those who should rush to kill the first can just fight." ”

Solin asked, "Then Brother Wang means that in the future war, Wang Jian and his son will be the main generals?" ”

"Not exactly." Ying Zheng said, "But most of them will be." ”

"Then it's okay to be a pioneer for my brother." Before Thorin could finish his sentence, he suddenly groaned.

"Brother Wang, it's catching it inside, as if it wants to scratch this egg." He pulled the red egg out of his arms.

Sure enough, there was a "clacking" sound from inside the eggshell.

It seemed to realize that everyone was looking at it, and the scratching sound stopped shyly.

"What time is it?" Ying Zheng asked.

Zhao Gao said: "Your Majesty, it's almost time." ”

Ying Zheng said: "It seems that it may break out of its shell at any time." ”

Zhao Gao said: "Didn't the king say that the senior of Jianwei once said that it would take a whole year to hatch it?" ”

"Yes." Ying Zheng said with certainty, "When I went a few days ago, I specifically asked about it, and it said that as long as there is no intermittent incubation, there will be no deviation." ”

Zhao Gao patted his chest and said: "The king can rest assured, the slaves dare not guarantee anything else, this hatching matter has definitely not been delayed for a day, and even hatched for a while every day." ”

"Hehe, hatch more, and I didn't see it come out early." Meng Yi quipped.

"As long as you don't come out late." Ying Zheng said, "In fact, this task is a widow, but it is inconvenient to carry it all the time, so that Zhao Gao helps the widow hatch, and when the beast comes out this year, the widow will reward Zhao Gao heavily." ”

Zhao Gao said in a panic: "The slave is not a merit, the king is still exempt." ”

"How's that going to work?" Ying Zheng said admittedly, "It's just that there is no room for promotion in this CRRC government order, and you are not a good woman, what is the reward for you......"

Zhao Gao: "......"

It's not bad, it's that there is no such condition.

"There it is." Ying Zheng said, "Let Ou Ping make you a peerless sword, after all, you still have a very difficult task in the future." ”

Zhao Gao said: "Then the slave will thank the king." ”

In fact, Zhao Gao doesn't like swords very much, but Yingzheng really has nothing to reward him, after all, it was an exception to let him be an official before.

After more than an hour, the red egg rotated into Meng Tian's arms, Yingzheng and Suo Lin and Qiang were still chatting, Zhao Gao sat there and took a nap, and the two Meng Tian brothers, one stared at the red egg, and the other ear listened carefully with the eggshell.

Because they know that the scratching and knocking sounds inside are getting denser and louder.

Finally, with a small crisp sound, a tiny crack appeared on the top of the red egg.

"Look, Your Majesty!" Meng Tian shouted urgently.

Yingzheng and Qiang and Thorin hurried over.

Zhao Gao was also in good spirits, rubbed his eyes and ran over.

I saw another crack open at the top, and it gradually extended downward.

Several of them held their breath and stared intently at the blood-red eggshell.

The junction of the two rifts shattered little by little, gradually extending downward.

There was a constant thumping sound inside.

Qiang Qi took Zhao Gao's quilt and surrounded the red eggs, as if he was afraid that the shelled Nian beast would suddenly run out.

Meng Yi also brought a wooden bucket and held it half-up, ready to cover the broken beast at any time.

Ying Zheng and Meng Tian held the red egg together, not daring to be distracted.

Suddenly, the crashing sound inside stopped, and the cracks in the eggshell stopped spreading.

"What's going on?" Solin Road.

Qiang said: "Maybe it's tired and wants to rest for a while, don't worry." ”

"yes, it should just be a break." Ying Zheng said.

Zhao Gao said: "Why don't we help it?" ”

"How can I help?" Meng Tian asked.

"Crack this eggshell open." Thorin said directly.

Ying Zheng glanced at him and said angrily: "You are so impatient, what if you hurt it?" ”

"Let's wait, let's add some more temperature to it." Meng Tian said.

Zhao Gao spread the fine sand that had been heated long ago under the red egg to warm it up.

After a while, the red egg moved again, and it was even stronger than before.

The eggshell that has been absorbed in nutrients is actually much more fragile than before, but the little beast inside is weak after all, and it has to be tried little by little.

Click, click......

There was a thud, and the crumbling top was finally broken through a gap.

As the gap got bigger and bigger, the hearts of several people rose to their throats, staring intently at the red egg in front of them.

More and more cracks spread downward, and the top was finally broken, revealing a small brain.

Seeing this brain, Yingzheng almost didn't laugh.

That appearance is exactly the same as Xi, but it has shrunk a lot.

The little beast looked around, retracted its head again, and stopped moving again.

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, a little dazed for a while.

"Zhao Gao, are you a little ugly and scared him." Meng Tian quipped.

Zhao Gao retorted: "Your brother is not much better than me." ”

"Shh Ying Zheng said in a low voice, "If you talk nonsense, it really won't dare to come out." ”

Several people stopped talking, and stared back at the half-broken red egg.

After a while, the longest crack in the middle continued to crack downward, and this time the crack grew wider.

The hole that had been pierced also became bigger and bigger.

Click......

The eggshell finally cracked completely, and one left and one right fell into the fine sand, and the figure of the little year beast was also fully revealed, with a piece of eggshell on top of its head.

However......

It's still the same as the Nightfall Beast.

It's not much different from what I imagined, but its fluff is still very soft, and it looks very well-behaved and cute.

The rest of the people had never seen a night beast before, and naturally they didn't know what the beast looked like this year, so they all stared at it with wide eyes.

I saw that the little beast looked around, and then crawled down, as if it had just broken out of its shell and exhausted its strength.

"Quick, Zhao Gao, you go and prepare some meat crumbs and rice soup, feed it some." Ying Zheng commanded.

Zhao Gao agreed, and quickly went out to prepare.

Meng Yi curiously touched the tail of the little beast, only to see that the little tail moved, as if he didn't want to be disturbed.

"Let it sleep for a while." Ying Zheng said in a low voice, "If you are sleepy, you can also rest." ”

Several people were excited, and they all shook their heads.

Ying Zheng carefully took out the eggshell, and Qiang helped pick out the fragments.

The little beast looked up, looked again, seemed to be much less fearful and hostile, and then looked around, as if instinctively looking for its mother.

At this time, Zhao Gao brought rice soup and cooked meat crumbs, and carefully placed them in front of the little beast.

It sniffed, then licked, and then ate and drank.

Divine beasts are divine beasts, but they are not as weak as domestic animals when they were first born, and they look like they eat and drink.

A few people surrounded it, watching it eat and drink slowly, but it was sweeter than eating meat and drinking wine by itself.

After a while, it seemed to have eaten enough, stretched its hooves and legs, slowly stood up, looked outside, and leaped hard, but was blocked by the board of the wooden box.

It's obvious that I didn't want to be locked up since I was born.

"Looks like we're going to have to get an iron cage." Ying Zhengdao.

Zhao Gao said: "The slave will do it." ”

Ying Zheng continued: "Also, the decree is passed on, the night beast has been removed, and the auspicious year beast from the heavens guards the peace of the world, and orders the whole territory to celebrate for seven days to welcome the birth of the year beast." ”
