Chapter 439: The Secret Passage of the Snow Mountain
Meng Wu, the son of a generation of famous generals Meng Fu, was also a pivotal figure in the Qin Dynasty.
's personality of not seeking fame and fortune may have made him not compete for the position of coach who can go into battle to kill the enemy and make contributions, but is willing to recruit and train new soldiers.
It was this character that made King Qin trust him more, and at the same time avoided infighting in the court.
However, as an apprentice of Mengfu, Huan Qi is different.
Ying Zheng's other purpose in coming to Meng Wu was to appease him about Huan Qi.
"General Huan Qi hasn't found out his whereabouts yet, maybe he's still alive." Ying Zheng said with relief.
Meng Wu sighed: "He was surrounded, and in that case, the remnants of the army could not escape, so he must have died."
"It's a lesson." Ying Zheng said, "Let us know that arrogance will inevitably lead to destruction, and greed for merit is doomed to failure."
Meng Wu knew that the King of Qin was using Huan Qi's matter to wake himself up, so he arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured that the king will never fight for merit at this time, let alone follow in the footsteps of Huan Qi, the king asked me to recruit soldiers, then I will take out an army of 300,000 and hand it over to the king in the shortest possible time."
"Okay, that's what I want to hear." Ying Zheng said, "As for Huan Qi's family, they must be taken care of, the widow will give them some more silver taels, and about revenge, within a year, Zhao Guo's blood debt will be repaid!"
In the face of such a monarch, who can not be convinced, and who can complain?
Wei Yu opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, in three months, maybe you can only lay a foundation, or I will also go to Yinshan Mountain and continue to train the recruits?"
Ying Zheng shook his head: "You are still staying in Kyoto, after all, I still go out often, it is enough to have Meng Tian on the Yin Mountain, he already knows your training methods." Besides, the new army doesn't have to meet the standards of the Tiger Army."
"Then listen to the king." Wei Yu said, "By the way, when I signed an alliance with the King of Qi before, he said that he wanted to sell more goods to the Western Regions, and now that the envoys from Dawan and Persia have arrived in the Wei Kingdom, why don't they go to the Qi Kingdom by the way?"
"Okay, I also have this intention, I will write a letter to them, and you will also reply to the King of Qi."
Wei Yu replied.
After coming out of the training ground, Yingzheng took Wuchan back to the palace, and then took out the black rabbit horse and went straight to Lishan.
This black rabbit horse was selected from the horses sent by Dawan before, and it was used to replace the black fox given to Touman, and Yingzheng didn't ride much on weekdays, so Hu Yu used it to match the maple leaf with a foal.
Horses that are not castrated have a very explosive temperament, not to mention this sweaty BMW that spans thousands of miles away.
Finally tamed almost it, Yingzheng was in a hurry to go out, so he rode it out.
Before they reached the door that Lishan had promised, the guard sergeants all cast envious glances.
Seeing Jing Fan, Ying Zheng handed the reins to him and explained, "Take care of it, and I'll be back in a while."
Crossing the forbidden area, Ying Zheng found Jairus again.
"Senior, I've thought about it." He said, "I'm going to take the little beast to Kunlun Mountain, this time I won't take the big road, let Twenty-Seven take me through the magma red vein."
Surprised: "So fast?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "If I don't go, I'll always be thinking about it, and if I wait until next year, I may have to go to the front line of the battlefield in person, and then I won't have time."
"Okay, it's okay to go and see it, but be safe." Jairus said, "You'd better bring two helpers."
Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "They all have their own affairs, and the master respects him when he is old, and I don't want to bother him, although the little beast is small, it has already opened its divinity and has the ability to protect me."
"Since you've decided, I'll inform Twenty-Seven." "Come back tomorrow morning, remember to send some more cattle and sheep."
The last time he came back, Twenty-Seven asked him for a favor, and if he didn't give it this time, it probably wouldn't go.
Ying Zheng laughed: "I know, I know, tomorrow I will drive the sheep over." When he returned to the palace, it was already dark, and he took it himself
The black rabbit entered the stable, but saw that Wu Chan and Hu Yu were bathing the maple leaves here.
"It's so late, why are you still here?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Waiting for you." Hu Yu said, "By the way, take care of the maple leaf, and when its belly is bigger, it will be difficult to get it."
After seeing the maple leaf, the black rabbit screamed, and Ying Zheng hurriedly handed it over to Zhao Gao and brought it back to the stable.
Taking the strip of dry cloth in Hu Yu's hand, Ying Zheng helped dry the body of Maple Leaf.
"Let us, Your Majesty." Wu Chan rubbed his horsehair and said.
"You'd better leave me alone." Ying Zheng said, "It's been so long, I really haven't bathed the maple leaf myself."
"You busy man can't take care of that." Hu Yu said angrily, "If you don't need to ride a black rabbit out, you won't come to see the stable."
Ying Zheng smiled: "I went to Lishan just now, so I need to be faster."
"Going to Lishan again?" Wu Chan said, "Could it be that there is something to find Jianxi again?"
Ying Zheng nodded, lowered his voice and said, "I'm going to Kunlun Mountain, it's too much waste of time to go on horseback, I plan to let Twenty-seven accompany me."
"Kunlun Mountain?" Hu Yu said, "I thought you were just talking."
Wu Chan said, "Yes, I didn't expect you to go over so soon."
"It's better to go early and feel at ease." Ying Zheng said, "Maybe if we figure out that place, we can understand a lot of secrets that we don't know, or maybe it's the next Lishan."
"The truth is true, but I'm still a little worried." Wu Chan said, "Why don't we accompany you this time?"
Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "It's not as good as Jiuyou, although the Divine Bird and Divine Beast look scary, it will not harm us, but will protect us, but Kunlun Mountain is different, you don't have to worry, with the little beast with me, it will definitely be fine."
Wu Chan wanted to say something, but Hu Yu preemptively said: "Let him go, you don't know our man yet, the most important thing now is to quickly make him some dry food and keep it for the road to eat."
"Hehe, that's right." Ying Zheng grinned.
After Zhao Gao returned, Ying Zheng ordered him to prepare some cattle and sheep overnight to send to Lishan.
Early the next morning, Ying Zheng finished dealing with the government and explained some things to Li Si, and then changed into light clothes, took his bags, rode an ordinary war horse, and went to Lishan again.
Ji Fazheng took Jing Fan to make the important organ of the royal tomb, and when he learned that Yingzheng was going to Kunlun Mountain to explore the secrets, he didn't say much, because when a team of people and horses transported the cattle and sheep last night, he guessed that Yingzheng was going to trouble Candle Jiuyou again.
"If you take the little beast with you, no beast will dare to approach." Ji Fa said, "But if you encounter any ancient ruins or even mechanisms, don't act rashly, come back and tell me after careful observation."
"Understood." Ying Zheng responded, "This trip is to explore the way, if you can find the ruins of Nuwa Niangniang, of course it is better, if you are unlucky, then go a few more times."
"How many more trips?" Ji smiled and said, "Twenty-seven will help you, just spend some tickets, right?"
Ying Zheng smiled: "I take care of this method, if Twenty-Seven can cooperate with me for a long time, then it will be convenient to go to the dragon vein fire eye in several other places, maybe you don't need to wait until you are unified."
"That's right." Ji Fa said, "Everything is in advance, and it will be much easier for you to do things after unification."
"Then I'll go."
"Be careful on the road, don't be reckless." Ji Fa admonished.
Ying Zheng nodded, saluted, went out with cattle and sheep, and came to the forbidden land again.
This time Twenty-Seven was already waiting for him at that spring.
"Why, not with two beautiful women this time?" Orochi quipped.
"I'm afraid they're in the way, and I'll make a fuss everywhere." Ying Zheng smiled, "It's you, every time you come out by yourself, why don't you bring a female companion when you don't see you."
Twenty-seven: "I'm enough for myself, what are I carrying it for?"
"After that, if I bring more people, can you find it?"
Ying Zheng asked, "Or find some more candle nine shadows."
"If you need to bring more people to restore the natural source power, I can consider it." Twenty-seven, "But you can give more of that deliciousness."
"Well said, well said." Ying Zheng said, "It's not just delicious, I've already asked Li Si to start the plan of the zodiac, if it really doesn't work, next year will start from the Year of the Snake."
"That's what you said." Twenty-seven said, "If the people memorize the twelve zodiac signs, I will send them to you in the future, but before that, you still have to pay the travel expenses."
"A word is a certainty." Ying Zheng said seriously, "Let's go, go and find Jairus."
A man and a snake walked through the corridor and came to the shelter of Jairus.
The little beast jumped over and rubbed its little head against Yingzheng's trouser leg.
"The fire eyes there are very dense, so you'd better not go deep into the mountainside first, and wait until you have a clear understanding of the terrain before looking for the dragon source."
"Thank you for the reminder." Ying Zheng said, "When I find Longyuan, if I have any questions, I will come back to you to discuss."
"Okay, let's go."
Ying Zheng patted the little beast's head: "Let's go, let's go."
After that, the little year beast followed Yingzheng into the belly sac that Twenty-Seven had opened.
Twenty-seven instantly turned his skin red, and plunged into the eyes of fire.
Ying Zheng took out the ice silk coat, put one on the little beast, and put one on himself.
"Master, I'm not as hot as I was last time." Xiao Nian Beast said, "Probably because of eating basalt fruit."
If he is not by Jair's side, the little year beast will call him master, but strictly speaking, in fact, Jairus is the actual owner of the year beast.
"Then wear it too, it's always more comfortable."
From the surface of the earth, it is quite far from Lishan Mountain to Kunlun Mountain, and it is necessary to climb thousands of meters of plateau and climb over lofty mountains.
You can shuttle in the red veins of magma, just like swimming in rivers and oceans, and you are quickly approaching your destination at full speed.
Ying Zheng and the little beast were talking and chatting, and in less than an hour, Twenty-seven was already approaching the edge of Kunlun Mountain.
It seems that the magma red veins underground are all connected and extend in all directions, which also proves Yingzheng's previous idea, to go to the fire eyes of the dragon veins such as Huangshan Mountain and Taiheng Mountain, there is no need to wait for the unification to pass over from the land.
I had a plan in my heart, but I found that the temperature outside had cooled, and Twenty-seven's skin had returned to its normal temperature and color.
"This won't be the bottom of the sea." Ying Zheng said to himself, "Probably it came out of the red vein and entered a river."
After a little more travel, Twenty-Seven stopped.
The abdominal pouch opened, and Ying Zheng walked out with the little year beast.
In front of him was an underground river, and it was impossible to see where it flowed from or where it ended.
"Twenty-seven, what is this place?" Ying Zheng asked.
"I heard that this is the source of the Yellow River, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"The source of the Yellow River?" Ying Zheng's eyes widened, and he looked carefully at this underground river.
"What's so strange?" Twenty-seven spat out the snake letter and said to a hole on the side, "I remember that there is a cave built by your Terran over there, I don't know if I can still walk."
Ying Zheng took out the torch he had brought with him, walked to the hole and looked inside.
The flame trembled slightly, indicating that there was air flowing in the cave.
"Let's go, go in and have a look." Ying Zheng waved his hand at the little beast.
The little beast followed Yingzheng into the cave.
I saw that inside the entrance of this cave was a long corridor, and the ground and walls seemed to be made of stone, which had become very old after the baptism of time.
Sure enough, it was made by our ancestors, and it is quite old.
