The sun stared viciously at the wheezing creatures, as if trying to evaporate the water from their bodies.

The birds chirp boringly, and they don't listen to them as gently as they do in spring.

Ying Zheng sat in the carriage with his two wives, but he didn't feel hot at all.

Because he was holding two bird's nests, and inside the bird's nest were ice Gu insects, which was really a good summer escape.

Hu Yu and Wu Chan also held a bird's nest in their arms, discussing what they had seen and heard about this trip to Jiuyou.

Now that even the little beast is not by his side, he naturally doesn't have so much to think about.

"To say, this phoenix and phoenix are really strange." Hu Yu whispered to Wu Chan, "Obviously they are two different divine birds, and their attributes are opposite, but they can become husband and wife. ”

Wu Chan snickered: "And, ah, the baby born is not a neutral appearance, but depends on the gender to determine what kind of it is." ”

Hu Yu looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Didn't you say that they can control gender, how did you do it?" ”

"I don't know." Ying Zheng smiled bitterly, "I only heard that if the fire phoenix wants the ice phoenix to give birth to a small fire phoenix, it needs to condense the vitality for a long time so that its fire attribute can be greater than the water element of the ice phoenix." ”

Wu Chan said with a smile: "It's also thanks to their average ability to give birth, otherwise the ground is full of divine birds, so how can ordinary birds and beasts live." ”

"Isn't it?" Hu Yu echoed, "God is still fair, since they have been given magical abilities and long lives, they are destined not to have too strong reproductive ability." ”

Wu Chan looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "Will you do the same in the future?" ”

Ying Zheng: "......"

She was thinking about giving birth to another son to King Qin, how could she not be afraid that Yingzheng, who had already opened the divine nature, would also weaken her fertility?

Hu Yu muttered: "Do you think he looks like those divine birds? ”

Wu Chan covered his mouth and shook his head vigorously with a smile.

While chatting, the convoy had come to the outside of Xianyang City, but saw a large battalion suddenly appear in the south of the city.

Ying Zheng was puzzled and sent the guards to inquire about the origin.

After entering the city, Tanma reported that it was a team from Persia, and Lees had arranged for them to camp outside the city.

It seems that the king of Persia sent someone to bring money.

Ying Zheng was overjoyed and went straight to Li Si's prime minister's mansion.

Upon learning of the return of the King of Qin, Li Si welcomed Yingzheng into the palace.

"I heard that outside the southern city gate, there is a Persian mission?" Ying Zheng asked directly.

Li Si said: "On the surface, it is an embassy, but in fact, it is an army sent by the king of Persia to protect the silver taels, and according to the custom, I arranged them outside the city. ”

Ying Zheng nodded, and asked again: "Are you still satisfied with our goods from the Persian side?" ”

"It's said to be very satisfying." Lees replied with a smile, "Prince Namad is collecting goods according to the list sent by the King of Persia at this time. ”

"Let him come to the palace and ask him about it." Ying Zheng said, "By the way, how is the battle situation in the north these days?" ”

Li Si said: "Wang Jian sent back the news, after he left the soldiers who guarded the city, he retreated to Changping, waiting for Li Mu's next move. ”

"Return to Changping?" Ying Zheng said, "This can play a big deterrent role, it depends on whether Li Mu dares to follow in Zhao Kuo's footsteps, it seems that Wang Jian is really good at attacking the heart." What about Huan Qi? ”

"According to the news he sent back, after crossing the river, he captured a city." Li Si replied, "Then make a detour to the north in order to mobilize the main force of the Zhao army." ”

Ying Zhengluo said with some worry: "Don't go too far north, it's not a good thing to go deep alone, after all, Wang Jian didn't attack on his side." ”

Li Si said: "General Huan Qi is also a veteran of the battlefield, how can he not know this truth." ”

"Alright, let's just let them toss." Ying Zheng turned to ask, "Is there any news from Sima Hong?" ”

"Not yet." Li Si said, "However, Li Xinlai said that he had entered the Chu realm with your national letter, and he had not been troubled, and was secretly getting in touch with Sima Hong, thinking that he had arrived in Shouchun at this time." ”

"Write a letter to them and let them get excited." Ying Zheng advised, "If you see the King of Chu, immediately pass on the meaning of the King of Chu back." ”

"Okay." Li Si responded, and said, "The construction has already started on Zheng Guo's side, but he still needs to hire more laborers so that he can carry out the construction of the north-south straight road at the same time, your ...... king."

"Give it to him." Ying Zheng, who has a lot of money, didn't even think about it, "As long as it is repaired quickly, it is worth spending more money, after all, the Great Wall of Yinshan needs this straight road." ”

After talking about a few more political matters, Li Si went out to find Prince Murder, and Ying Zheng returned to the palace alone.

The dense stones needed for Lishan were enough, so Wu Chan did not leave the Ice Gu there, but instead brought out all the ghost hands there, and found a big mansion in the city, so that they could settle the Ice Gu Seeds in these bird's nests first.

When the ghost hands saw so many insects in the world, they all dropped their jaws in shock, some laughed wildly, and some hid their faces and sobbed.

Especially the thumb, the old tears are crisscrossed, and the heart is even more ecstatic.

One by one, there were as many as two hundred!

Two hundred!

Several ghost hands with a slightly higher status and a little older were holding a seed worm in their hands as if they had obtained a treasure, kneeling on the ground and bowing down with tears in their eyes, and chanting words in their mouths.

The younger ones were infected by it, and they all bowed down one after another, thanking God for the gift of planting insects, and thanking the King of Qin for taking the risk of bringing them back.

At this moment, Yingzheng's status in their hearts is like a god.

Wu Chan said to his thumb: "How about it, Uncle Thumb, I asked you to wait for the good news in Lishan, didn't wait in vain." ”

"Hahaha......" Thumb smiled with tears in his eyes, "I knew you could bring back so much, just let me wait in the eyes of the fire, and I waited." ”

Wu Chan said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't expect to bring back so much this time, maybe it's luck." ”

"Are you in any danger?" Thumb asked with concern, "Where do these insects live?" ”

Wu Chan looked at the ghost hands beside him, shook his head and said, "King Qin won't let me say it, but sooner or later you will know." ”

Thumb also knew that in front of everyone, it was inconvenient for Wu Chan to tell some secrets in public, so he didn't bother and said directly: "Those are indeed small things, and the most important thing at the moment is to settle the insects first, and when they have recovered their spirits, they will be taken to Beidi County and let them take root there." ”

"Okay, build a base for them in the northern land, and then raise some in Didao and Jiuyuan respectively, and the king will build a large number of dense stones." Wu Chan said, "These insects will be handed over to you, and I will go back to the palace first." ”

Everyone answered, and then greeted their former queen, now the patriarch.

Thumb carried Uchan all the way to the gate of the palace before returning to the makeshift mansion.

When he entered the palace, he found that a feast was being prepared in the palace.

According to Yingzheng's habits, every time he goes out and comes back, he will not let the harem pick up the wind for himself, and now seeing that Gong'e and the kitchen are busy, he must be entertaining some guests.

After inquiring, I learned that the king of Qin had invited envoys from Persia and Dawan to a banquet to discuss state affairs.

Coming to the imperial study, Ying Zheng was observing the basalt fruit brought back from Jiuyou.

"What do you think, husband?"

Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze from the top of the basalt fruit, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking, there is nothing unusual on the surface of this fruit, how can it be so magical, what secrets are hidden in it?" ”

Wu Chan smiled: "No matter how well it is hidden, I'm afraid it doesn't have as many secrets as yours." Ying Zheng: "......"

Indeed, if you want to say that there are the most secrets hidden in the heart in this world, except for Ji Fa, that is him.

"Are all the insects placed?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It's settled." Wu Chan said, "After two days, when the insects have recovered from fatigue, Uncle Thumb will take them to the north, and then send them to Jiuyuan and Didao." ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "I will be relieved to hand over the seed worm to the thumb, he treats the seed worm more carefully than anyone else." By the way, I'm going to have a dinner for Prince Murd and Kukanchi in the evening, and you can come and help me deal with it, after all, I don't understand what I am. ”

"Okay." Wu Chan responded, "I'll go wash and change my clothes first, and you will call me later." ”

Not long after Uchan left, Prince Murd and Kukanchi arrived.

"Haha, I'm here in this gorgeous palace again." Before the person arrives, the laughter comes first, which shows that once the person's pocket is bulging, the confidence is enough.

Prince Mord laughed. Ying Zheng smiled: "Although I have never been to Persia, I think that your palace will not be inferior to me." ”

"Meet King Qin." Kukanchi saluted and said, "I have accompanied Prince Murd for a few days, and have chosen a lot of good goods, and the Persian mission has also come, bringing with me enough gold and silver. ”

Murde said: "Yes, the king of Persia also brought a list, which recorded the quantity and style of goods needed, and I also wanted to buy some myself, if Xianyang did not make up enough, I also hoped that the king of Qin would help me think of a way." ”

Ying Zheng thought for a while, and said: "I now have a city in Daqin, which was the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty earlier, called Luoyi, which used to be extremely prosperous, and since the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the juxtaposition of the countries, it has been occupied by Han Ting. ”

"Now I have destroyed Han. The country seized this place, and it became the most prosperous distribution center of goods in the Central Plains, and the whole of China transported goods there to trade, and most of the goods I sent to the Western Regions were collected from there. ”

When Murder heard this, his eyes lit up: "Then why don't I go there and have a look." ”

"The dinner has been set, let's talk while eating." Ying Zheng said, "The widow also wants to go there, so he can accompany the prince to go there." ”

"That's great." Murder's heart itched, and he wished he could leave now.

Ying Zheng ordered Zhao Gao to call Wuchan and feast together on Murde and Kukanqi.

At the banquet, Mode did not leave Daqin's goods in every word, from needlework and thread to all kinds of delicacies, and the trip was worthwhile.

Early the next morning, Ying Zheng lined up and accompanied the two envoys to Luoyi.

Zhuge Teng, who received the news, led a team out of the city for ten miles to greet him.

Ying Zheng introduced each other, and then was welcomed into the city by Zhuge Teng.

Entering the city gates, Prince Murd and Kukanchi were instantly attracted by the dazzling array of goods on the streets.

The stores selling goods are one after another, and the front of the stores are all doing small business, and the shouts and shouts are endless.

accompanied Prince Murd for a big turn, and Yingzheng led them into the palace.

This palace is said to be the palace, but it was once the palace of the Eastern Zhou royal family, and for hundreds of years, the declining Zhou royal family has been living here.

After Zhuge Teng led the Luoyi army and civilians to return to Daqin, Yingzheng specially allocated a sum of money to rebuild the former Eastern Zhou palace as a palace for the eastward march in the future.

"Oh my God, this palace is just as magnificent." Murder exclaimed again, "My King Qin, how many palaces do you still have?" ”

"There are not many, there are still palaces in Yongcheng, Liyang, Yingcheng, Xinzheng and Bashu." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "There are a few places that have been taken from others, and in the near future, all the palaces in Huaxia will be in the hands of widows." ”

How domineering these words are, they also left a deep imprint on Murde's heart, and the strength of Great Qin really didn't blow out.
