The old man in white casually took two cloth bags. The contents inside were enough to keep Ying Zheng happy for several days, not to mention the tomb of King Wu of Zhou, which contained the Book of Changes.
"Senior, are you saying that everything in the tomb of King Zhou Wu will be handled by juniors?" Ying Zheng still wanted to confirm, so he asked.
The old man in white nodded and said: "In addition to the "Book of Changes" that you have been thinking about, there are many useful things for you in the secret room of the tomb, which can help you achieve unification as soon as possible."
Ying Zheng's eyes burst out with an extremely longing light.
The old man's tone changed and his voice became irresistible: "But, don't touch things that you shouldn't touch now."
Ying Zheng raised his hand and asked, "How can I tell the difference between what is usable and what is untouchable?"
"Although I can't always be by your side and advise you on everything, there is someone who can take my place and teach you what to do." The old man in white said.
"Li Si?" It was not difficult for Ying Zheng to guess who this person was.
The old man in white nodded and said: "From now on, Li Si will convey my meaning to you. On major matters, his words will convey my meaning. On small matters, you are still king and minister."
Ying Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Junior, I will remember it."
It seems that the relationship with Li Si is quite complicated.
"Within three years, the first thing you have to do is to combine royal power and military power." The old man said, "Truely become a monarch who responds to everything."
Ying Zheng looked at the old man and said confidently: "Even if the senior doesn't say it, the junior has set such a goal for himself. Although it is a bit difficult, the final result will not be a big problem."
The reason why Ying Zheng is quite confident is that he has followed Li Si's advice, taken control of the Meng family's army, opened Wen Lei Ju, and won over most of the royal family members.
"Haha, you have to have confidence." The old man smiled and said, "But the current situation of Qin is the most complicated among several countries. It may be far more difficult to control the kingship than you think. Don't do it. main idea."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Junior, I will take note of this. I will definitely discuss everything with Li Si."
The old man still kept smiling: "After talking for so long, you must be very curious about who I am and what my identity is."
It would be false to say that he is not curious, but Ying Zheng still said calmly: "Since the senior has not said anything, the junior knows that the time has not come yet, so it is not the time to ask."
"Haha, it's true. It's not time for you to know." The old man said with a smile, "Three years later, no matter whether you get back the royal power or not, I will come to see you. And at that time, if you are because of For some reasons, if you want to give up your Tiancheng responsibility, you can just ask me and I will replace you with someone else."
Ying Zheng frowned but did not say anything.
"However, if you choose to persist, I will tell you my identity and everything you need to know. After that, you must fulfill your thirty-year agreement and complete your mission." The old man's face showed a clear look. No expression.
"Ying Zheng has memorized everything the senior said." Ying Zheng nodded.
"Okay, I've pretty much told you what I need to entrust and what I need to give you. In the past three years, if you have any questions, just ask Li Si. He will do his best to help you." After saying that, the old man handed over the two burdens. They were all handed to Ying Zheng.
"Take your things and hit the road. Your friend will sleep peacefully where you spent the night last night. He will wake up when you go back." The old man in white said.
Only then did Ying Zheng think of Jing Liang, and immediately asked, "Is he okay?"
It's not that Ying Zheng doesn't value his companions, it's just that what the old man said was too shocking and what he gave was so eye-catching that he temporarily forgot where Jing Liang was.
"It's just a sleep. What can happen? The strange light on his body has been eliminated. Don't worry." The old man in white said.
"Then this junior bids farewell to the senior." After saying that, Ying Zheng held up his hands and bowed.
"Go ahead and see you in three years." The old man in white raised his hand and said.
Ying Zheng carried his own bag and the luggage bag given by the old man, bowed his hands and turned around and walked out of the cave.
Seeing that Ying Zheng walked out of the cave and disappeared, the old man in white sighed and said to himself: "Work hard, young man. I hope your choice can save the world from that disaster."
Before he finished speaking, a figure flashed and the old man in white disappeared into the cave.
——————
Ying Zheng walked out of the cave without looking back, fearing that the old man would stop him and ask for something else.
The things in front of him are enough for Ying Zheng to digest for a while, but don't add any other tasks.
He was carrying several packages, which were quite heavy, but Ying Zheng obviously could no longer feel the weight as he strode forward.
Finally came back with a full load.
Ying Zheng walked towards the place where the horses were placed, his pace quickening, and he couldn't help but miss Jing Liang.
Not long after, I saw two war horses tied to a tree at the foot of the hillside, leisurely eating young grass on the ground.
There was a man lying on the back of one of the horses. Although his face could not be seen, judging from his attire, he was Jing Liang.
Ying Zheng first put his belongings on the saddle of his horse, and then walked to the horse that Jing Liang was riding.
"Brother Jing." Ying Zheng gently shook Jing Liang's arm and said softly.
Jing Liang had no reaction.
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Jing, stop pretending, I know you are awake."
Jing Liang raised his head and asked slightly surprised: "Your Majesty, do you know that I am awake?"
"Haha, you weren't fainted at all, why aren't you awake?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Jing Liang jumped off his horse and asked tentatively: "Does the king already know?"
"Of course the senior didn't tell me." Ying Zheng said, "I guessed it."
Jing Liang still looked at Ying Zheng doubtfully.
Ying Zheng tied up the saddle bags and bags and said, "I guessed from the secret code Li Si told us that Li Siding was related to Tian Cheng's destiny, and the old man told us I, Li Si is his disciple, I will discuss all important matters with Li Si in the future."
Jing Liang helped Ying Zheng organize several bags, but he didn't say anything, as if he was afraid of saying something wrong.
Ying Zheng continued: "And Li Si is very thoughtful. He will definitely not leave the most important step of accompanying me into the mountain to someone he can't trust and who is completely unaware of the whole thing. So I guess, Brother Jing You have actually known this for a long time, and your identity should be similar to Li Si."
Jing Liang remained silent, as if speechless or afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Ying Zheng packed up the bag and continued: "At first, I was just suspicious, but the senior just said that you would wait for me here, and I was sure of it. Because if an ordinary person touches the Celestial Eye and peeps into the secret, , but was later released safely. This alone cannot be explained. So the only explanation is that you conspired with Li Si to lead me here in order to let me meet my senior. And you , it should be another disciple of that senior."
Jing Liang knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Jing Liang doesn't want to deceive the king. The facts are exactly as the king said. I am indeed... the disciple of the old man, who led the king here according to Li Si's plan." , in order to allow the king to meet the master and start the Tiancheng plan. Jing Liang has deceived, and he also asks the king to convict him."
"It's true." Ying Zheng helped Jing Liang up and said, "You and Li Si had no intention of murdering me. They just didn't tell me the reason. It's not a crime."
If the crime of deceiving the emperor is not a crime, then what crime can be considered a crime? But with the current relationship between the characters, even if Ying Zheng wants to blame them, what can he do to the two of them. Ying Zheng did feel slightly uncomfortable, but he couldn't lose his temper.
Jing Liang said with some shame: "It's just because the reasons for this matter are too unusual. If I tell you in advance, the king will definitely not believe it. And if we directly tie the king and hand him over to the master, I will I couldn’t bear to wrong the king. So I planned all of this by taking advantage of the assassinations of those assassins.”
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, feeling relieved after hearing Jing Liang's words. If he thought about it from his perspective, if he were Jing Liang, he would probably have no choice but to do this.
Ying Zheng sighed and said: "This matter is indeed special. The plan you and Li Si concealed from me has been overturned. Do not let outsiders know. After you go back, first check whether Lu Xiangbang is here. The rest of the matter will be returned to you." Let’s make further calculations in Xianyang.”
Jing Liang nodded, turned around, took some dry food and water from his bag, and handed it to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty must have been hungry for a long time. Let's return after eating." Jing Liang said.
Ying Zheng looked up at the sun and saw that it was already past noon.
When he was in the cave, Ying Zheng didn't know how much time had passed. What the old man said and what he took out made him feel surprised and excited one after another, and he couldn't take care of his stomach.
Now that he saw the food, Ying Zheng began to feel hungry. The two of them sat under a tree and started eating.
After eating and drinking, the two of them jumped on their horses and rode towards the place where they left the mountain.
Ying Zheng looked back at the direction of the cave from time to time in order to remember the route he came from.
There is a Celestial Eye stored here. Even if the Celestial Eye is taken away by the old man, there will still be clues about "my weapon" left by Huangdi. Maybe he will visit this place again sometime.
After walking for a while, Ying Zheng slowed down his riding speed and said to Jing Liang: "Brother Jing, how long do you think it will take us to reach the camp? Can we get back before tonight?"
Jing Liang shook his head and said: "We can't rush back. If we go at this speed, we can rush back around midnight. But we don't know the situation at the camp yet. Let's find out first. We can only wrong the king." , spend another night in the wild.”
"That's nothing. Maybe there are some new discoveries." Ying Zheng's eyes revealed a look of expectation, "By the way, Brother Jing, guess where the tortoise shell and those animal bones we found before came from."
"Oh? Did you ask Master?" Jing Liang was also curious about what those things were.
Ying Zheng nodded, and then told Jing Liang what the old man in white told him about "my weapon".
"It turns out that there really is a 'my weapon' in the world!" Jing Liang sighed.
Ying Zheng was a little surprised by Jing Liang's reaction: "Did Brother Jing know about 'my weapon' before?"
Jing Liang nodded and said: "People who practice martial arts have varying degrees of interest in various weapons. Besides, I am not an ordinary martial artist, so I naturally know a lot more than ordinary people."
Ying Zheng asked: "How much does Brother Jing know?"
"I only know that 'my weapon' is indeed an ancient magic weapon. It was later classified as a forbidden weapon because of its cruelty and disappeared." Jing Liang said, "It is said that if two people with equal martial arts compete, they will hold 'my weapon' He who has the weapon will win. If the army is equipped with this kind of magical weapon, it will be invincible and invincible. Even if the number of our side is half less than that of the opponent, we will still win easily."
"Could it be that the legends about the Yellow Emperor that seniors said are all true?" Ying Zheng seemed to be thinking to himself.
Jing Liang shrugged his shoulders: "The legends about various emperors that I heard from Master before are actually very few. However, I am sure of one thing, that is, Master never tells lies, even if it is a legend, It is most likely a real existence. He keeps saying that what he is telling you is a legend and a story, but in fact he is just afraid that you will not believe it."
Ying Zheng was touched by Jing Liang's words.
Could it be that what the old man in white said was true?
That's right, we can only spend half a day with the old man, and we still have a lot of business to talk about. Who can have the leisure to make up a lot of stories to waste time.
There is another point that Ying Zheng also confirmed, that is, Jing Liang really cannot understand the writing on the tortoise shell, but the old man in white can. It can be seen that the old man's control of this kind of ancient writing is quite strict.
Coupled with the old man's previous description of the "Book of Changes", could the old man's identity be...
Ying Zheng sighed lightly and sorted out the events of the past two days while riding his horse.
