Chapter 424: Great Qin Straight Road
Early the next morning, Ying Zheng ordered half of the grain and grass to be sent to Touman's camp, and Touman ordered several nearby tribes to send some cattle and sheep back to the Qin army.
After signing a new alliance, Touman regrouped his men and headed for the borders of Yan.
Ying Zheng asked Meng Tian to take his men and horses along the way to inspect the terrain of Yinshan Mountain, so that they could prepare for the construction of the Great Wall on the dragon vein, just like Qiang and Suorin.
Then with confidence, he took the herd of cattle and sheep into the hinterland of Yin Mountain.
The old rule is to place the cattle and sheep and go into the hole alone.
The prison cow is still the same, and it can't change much, but looking at its expression, it seems to be much happier than before.
"There is a smell of cattle and sheep outside, and there are quite a few of them, did you bring them?" The prisoner cow asked, sniffing.
"Who else but me will come to honor you." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
The prisoner cow pointed to the big package behind Yingzheng and asked, "What's in there?" ”
Ying Zheng took the package and said: "This is a guqin that I asked the craftsman to build before, and the headstock is engraved with the totem of the predecessors. ”
"What, your wife died?" The prisoner was suddenly a little sad.
Ying Zheng nodded, and briefly told Mrs. Huayang about the poisoning and the murder of Princess Nansu.
"It's a shame." Prisoner Niu said, "But you just said that there is a clever pianist in Yan Kingdom, called Gao Yuanli?" ”
"Yes, he used his piano skills to attract Nansu to want to worship him as a teacher." Ying Zheng replied.
The prisoner cow sighed: "It's a pity that I have attainments, but my mental skills are not correct." He is also your enemy, and if you catch him one day, send him to me, and I will discipline him for you. ”
Ying Zheng: "......"
If you want to hear him play, you just say yes or no.
For Gao Yanli's accomplice, of course, Yingzheng is also fast, but since the prisoner Niu has already said so, then let it be with it at that time.
"It's not a big problem, as long as he is caught alive at that time, I will send him here." Ying Zheng said, "But senior, since I left you last time, I have experienced a lot, and I want to hear your opinion on a few things. ”
As the head of the Nine Guardian Beasts, the Prison Ox naturally has more authority and information.
"Tell me about it." Cow Prison Road.
Ying Zheng cleared his throat and said: "First of all, I helped Jairsa seniors go to Jiuyou to ask the Ice Phoenix Patriarch for a Nirvana Pearl, but the Ice Phoenix Seniors told me that Jairus has damaged the Yuan Shen and needs the Earth Nirvana Bead to be cured, so I went to ask the Vermilion Bird Seniors again." ”
"But the exchange condition of Suzaku's predecessors was to help her rescue the golden crow trapped in Shaoyang after I completely repaired the dragon vein, and I listened to the story between them, and then I knew that the original Xuanyuan Sword was actually made by the original golden crow foot."
"What I want to ask is, since the golden crow foot was made by the Protoss earlier, it should belong to the artifact, but I have searched through the "Alchemy" left by the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor, and I have not found any record of smelting and crafting the artifact, how did the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor create the Xuanyuan Sword in the first place?"
Regarding this doubt, Ying Zheng has been pondering since he learned the origin of Xuanyuan Sword.
"The Xuanyuan Sword is made by the Golden Crow, I have heard of it a little, but the matter is related to the past of the Golden Crow, so if you are not sure, you will definitely not take the initiative to mention it to your Tiancheng lineage." Prisoner Niu said, "As for the record of refining this sword, the Yellow Emperor should have divided the secret book inherited from your ancient times into two parts. ”
"Two?" Ying Zheng looked puzzled.
The imprisoned bull nodded and explained: "The 'Alchemy' you mentioned is the first part of the 'Metallurgical Secrets' left by ancient times, which is used in refining ordinary instruments, and the 'I Tools' you made before come from this. "And the other part is the Alloy Technique, which we guess is a technique that the Protoss privately helped your ancestors develop during the ancient civilization."
"After the Yellow Emperor used this "Alloy Technique" to create the Xuanyuan Sword, it was not passed on to future generations, but buried in the Yellow Mountain, guarded by the mocking wind."
The third divine beast of Huangshan mocks the wind?
Ying Zheng heard Ji Fa say that the Yellow Mountain is the core fire eye of the southernmost dragon vein, named after the name of the Yellow Emperor, and the real Yellow Emperor's mausoleum is also buried here.
Presumably, the "Alloy Technique" is also hidden in the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum.
It's no wonder that Ji Fa, and even the Ou family, who guard the secret of sword-making, don't know about the existence of "Alloy Technique", which should be because the Yellow Emperor doesn't want to pass on things with the color of the gods to the world.
But an artifact is an artifact after all, even if it is re-smelted and changed its shape.
The divinity displayed by the Xuanyuan Sword is not comparable to other objects.
After knowing the general direction, Ying Zheng pondered for a while, and then asked: "Since the Xuanyuan Sword is a restructured artifact, will it be used as a medium for the Protoss to be aware?" ”
This is the question that Ying Zheng really wants to ask.
The Prisoner Niu was puzzled: "You want to use the Xuanyuan Sword to call the Protoss?" ”
Ying Zheng nodded, and then said that he would go to Jingjue to help migrate and thus see gluttony.
"The gluttonous predecessor said that if you want to find the fragments of the mountain and sea map and completely restore the natural source power, you must use the power of the Protoss." Ying Zheng said, "But I'm afraid that it won't work if I gather Tianmu, so I always want to prepare a few other methods." ”
The Prison Bull was silent for a moment and said, "Gluttony is right, whether it is the Beast Race or your Human Race, if the natural source power is restored to its previous appearance, it cannot be done without the help of the Protoss. However, as for how to contact the Protoss, I still need to ask the Dragon Emperor for instructions. ”
Sure enough, as the head of the Nine Beasts, the Prison Ox could communicate directly with the Dragon Emperor.
"There is one more matter, please ask the seniors to ask the Dragon Emperor together." Ying Zheng said, "My ancestor Fuxi left a "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which contains a "Dragon Hunting Classic", I think if the Dragon Emperor can pardon Jin Wu, I will give it to the Dragon Emperor." ”
The Prison Niu was obviously a little stunned, and then said, "Okay, I will pass on your words to the Dragon Emperor, and if it is willing to see you, I will find a way to inform you." ”
After asking the question he wanted to ask, Ying Zheng began to talk about the matter in front of him: "Senior, I said before that I would build the Great Wall in Yinshan, and now I have come to control this land, and the next step is to start building, I don't know if you have any specific requirements?" ”
The prisoner said: "I don't have too many requirements, but if you want to build a secret stone, it is best to find another fire eye." ”
"What the predecessors said is that the secret here can't be known to those ghost hands." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Ghost hands?"
"Oh, it's someone from the Ghost Cave Clan of the Elite Country." Ying Zheng explained, "They are the only ones in the world who can feed Ice Gu, and only they can make dense stones. ”
The prisoner bull nodded: "Use your dense stone to build the Great Wall, and the management and protection can withstand thousands of years of wind and rain." ”
"That's true." Ying Zheng said, "It's just that where to open up the fire eye, you still need guidance from your seniors." ”
Prison Niu said: "This Yinshan Mountain Range is composed of several mountains, and there are several places in the Fire Eye, let me take you to take a look, you have the final say on which one you want to use." ”
With that, the imprisoned cow got up and walked out of the cave with Yingzheng.
It's time to ride again, but Ying Zheng is no longer as nervous and excited as before, because when people go to Jiuyou, even the divine bird has been controlled.
Compared to flying in the sky, running wild on the ground is nothing.
The body of the prison cow is much stronger than that of the japriot, and it is really comfortable to lie on its back.
It's really not close to each other between these fire eyes, but the speed of the prison cow is extremely fast, and it is only half a day, and it has already taken Yingzheng around.
In the belly of the last fire-eyed mountain, Yingzheng sat on a tree stump and drew the route he had taken today with a branch on the ground.
After calculating for a while, he pointed to one of the locations with a twig, and said to himself, "Judging from the location and the composition of the terrain, it seems that this place has the most suitable fire eye. ”
He gestured for a while, then extended the drawing, passed through Jiuyuan, crossed the Yellow River, passed through Shangjun, and reached Xianyang, the capital of the country.
"What are you thinking?" The Prison Cow asked.
Ying Zheng came back to his senses and replied: "I was thinking, there are few people on this side of Yinshan, there is no supply of materials, and Jiuyuan is going to become the center of trade with the Xiongnu, so it seems necessary to build another passage." ”
"If you can quickly transport goods and materials for construction, then you should repair it, and it will be much easier for you to travel back and forth between the two dragon veins in the future." ”
"Then let's fix it." Ying Zheng said, "This passage from Xianyang to Jiuyuan will start my journey of repairing the dragon vein!" ”
"May you succeed soon." The prisoner cow said, bowed down, "Come on, we should go back, those cattle and sheep are still waiting for me." ”
Ying Zheng: "......"
Back at the prison cow's residence, Ying Zheng rushed over a few yaks, and then said goodbye and left.
Meng Yi was looking at the valley in front of him, and when he saw Yingzheng riding a horse and walking out slowly, he rode up to meet him.
"Your Majesty, is the matter done?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It's done, how is your brother?" ”
"The news just came that he has begun to survey the terrain according to the map you gave." Meng Yi replied.
The last time Yingzheng and Ji Fa came to Yinshan together, they had already surveyed the route for building the Yinshan Great Wall, and he brought a map and asked Meng Tian to determine the route, preparing to dig trees along the road and sort out the route like Qiang and Suolin.
"Let him get it first." Ying Zheng said, "You come to a place with me, mark it, and then let's go back to Jiuyuan." ”
Meng Yi answered, ordered the whole army to pull out the village, and then followed Ying Zheng to the vicinity of the fire eye that he had just selected.
"This is the place reserved for the ghost hands to make dense stones." Ying Zheng said, "Leave 3,000 men and horses, build some houses here, open up a road, and wait for the ghost hand to come." ”
Meng Yi arranged it according to the order, leaving 3,000 men and horses to open up the wasteland.
Ying Zheng left another letter for Meng Tian, and then took Meng Yi back to Jiuyuan.
This time, King Qin did not detour again, but led the team directly into the city.
The old and young women and children of the Xiongnu all came out nervously to watch, not knowing whether the Qin army in front of them was an enemy or a friend, and whether their fate was auspicious or vicious.
Ying Zheng ordered several prestigious old men in the city to gather and bring them to him, and asked the guards to bring a lot of food.
King Qin pointed to the grain and said to several old men: "First of all, let me explain, these grains are not poisonous, you can take them to emergency first." I, the monarch of Great Qin, have just made an alliance with Touman Dashan Yu in Yinshan. ”
Several old men looked at each other, and they didn't seem to believe what he said.
Ying Zheng took out the covenant again and said: "According to the covenant, this Jiuyuan City has officially become the territory of my Great Qin, if you don't want to leave, then you will become my Great Qin's people." ”
"In addition, Touman and I have also decided to conduct trade between the two clans, and this place will become a hub for the circulation of goods, and your good days have come."
One of the old men, who seemed to be the oldest, asked in a trembling voice, "Is King Qin really not driving us away?" ”
"The widow's golden mouth is loud." The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth raised slightly, and he quipped, "But you have to remember that if you make money, you have to return the food in front of you." ”
