To say that Ying Zheng is busy, there is another person who is busier than Ying Zheng.
This person is Zhao Gao.
Every time Ying Zheng went somewhere, he would leave Zhao Gao with a lot of things to do.
Collecting spring water, finding resin, building ancient palaces, and now also repairing pottery kilns, and... picking up the families of the craftsmen...
In the past, Ying Zheng discussed everything with Zhao Gao. But now, Ying Zheng never explained the reason to him, but arranged things for him one after another, which gradually made Zhao Gao feel uneasy.
After collecting the letters from the craftsmen, Zhao Gao did not leave, but stood beside Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao, smiled and said, "Why, do you have something to say to me again?"
Zhao Gao knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Since returning from Qishan, the king has been very busy. I want to share the burden for the king, but I don't know what to do."
When Zhao Gao said this, Ying Zheng understood what he was thinking.
In the past, Ying Zheng discussed everything with Zhao Gao, but now, Zhao Gao is only doing errands. This sense of disparity made Zhao Gao feel unhappy.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "I know that I am doing many things now without consulting you or telling you the reasons. Because there are many secrets in them, which I cannot let you know yet."
"Naturally, I will not interfere with secret matters." Zhao Gao said, "But if I am not with the king often, I am afraid that no one will be able to serve the king attentively."
Ying Zheng shook his head with a wry smile and said: "What I have assigned you to do, you just have to complete it with all your strength. As for whether you should be involved in some things, let me think about it for a while. Cheng Jiao has already treason, and now I have My brother, you are the only one left."
When Zhao Gao heard what Ying Zheng said, he was moved and knew that Ying Zheng understood what he meant, so he no longer struggled.
"Go and make arrangements for the pottery craftsmen." Ying Zheng paused and said, "Also, arrange the guards at King Wu's Mausoleum, prepare three horses, and prepare more torches. Tomorrow afternoon, we will We also need to go to King Wu’s Mausoleum.”
"I accept the king's orders." Zhao Gao bowed his hands and retreated.
Ying Zheng sighed softly. It wasn't that he didn't want to take Zhao Gao with him for everything, he just couldn't help himself. Now that Jing Liang was about to leave, Ying Zheng needed help even more.
After Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng entered the inner room of the study again.
These days, Ying Zheng and Li Si have been busy sorting out the "Agricultural and Grain Classic" for fear of delaying the planting of original grain seeds.
Now that the Chinese character library is in hand, it is time to study the "Book of Changes".
Although there is only the upper part, you should make preparations in advance, otherwise you will be in a hurry when you have collected the three volumes of "I Ching".
It is much more difficult to organize the "Book of Changes" than the "Nongliang Jing". Many of the ancient symbols look very similar. If you don't look carefully, you can't even find the difference in some.
The most difficult part is that Ying Zheng did not dare to write down the above content. If others saw it, it would be troublesome. After all, even Li Si did not dare to help him.
After calming down, Ying Zheng forgot about time again and entered the mode of reading and hyphenating.
Near noon the next day, Ying Zheng and Li Si came to the pottery factory again.
Jing Fan and Jing Liang were directing some people to carry stones from the car, which Zhao Gao had obviously sent to repair the pottery kiln.
Seeing Ying Zheng coming, the two of them stepped forward and bowed.
"How is it?" Ying Zheng asked first, "Have the pottery figurines been copied?"
"Back to the king, with the help of brother Jing Liang, the process of making the terracotta warriors went smoothly." Jing Fan said with a smile on his face.
"Take me and take a look." Ying Zheng walked forward impatiently.
Jing Fan led several people to a room where several terracotta warriors were placed.
One of them is noticeably darker.
Jing Fan pointed to the darker-colored terracotta warriors and said, "Your Majesty, this one is an imitation of the terracotta warriors."
Ying Zheng stepped forward and walked slowly around the terracotta warriors, looking at them carefully.
"Except for the expression being slightly different from the broken one, the rest are basically the same." Jing Fan said.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and asked, "Sir, can you come and take a look?"
Li Si smiled and said, "Jing Liang has already helped me, is there any chance that it won't work?"
"Then this is considered a passing test?" Ying Zheng asked.
Li Si came over anyway, touched the terracotta warriors, and said: "Originally, this first level is not very difficult. It's just for the king to try to get into the rhythm."
There was a black line on Ying Zheng's face, and Li Si was clearly hinting that things would get harder and harder later on.
Jing Fan had a confused look on his face and couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Ying Zheng turned around and said to Jing Fan: "In the future, you may not get help from others. If I still need you to imitate something, or even something you have never seen before, are you confident that you can complete it?"
Jing Fan hesitated for a moment, then raised his hands and said, "If it's not as difficult as Jiuding's, my confidence won't be a problem."
"What if it's more difficult than Jiuding?" Ying Zheng asked with a wry smile.
"This..." Jing Fan lost his confidence.
"Haha, I'm just kidding you, don't worry about it," Ying Zheng said.
What Ying Zheng said to Jing Fan was actually a reminder to himself that there were nine floors in King Wu's Mausoleum, and who knew what would happen in the innermost one.
Jing Liang came over, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, now that the matter of the warriors and warriors has come to an end, the next step is to send someone to repair them. It's time for us to set off."
"Okay, let's go." Ying Zheng nodded and said.
Jing Fan sent the three of them out of the gate, and the three of them jumped on their horses and rode towards the north.
Ying Zheng's riding speed was not very fast, and Li Si and Jing Liang were also riding on the left and right at the same speed.
"Brother Jing." Ying Zheng looked at Jing Liang and asked, "Yesterday you said you would leave after accompanying me to the second floor?"
Jing Liang nodded and said, "If nothing else happens, we will leave today."
"Today? So urgent?" Ying Zheng did not expect that he would not waste a moment.
"Has the king forgotten about Cheng Jiao?" Jing Liang said, "Based on time, Wang Jian's army must have almost confronted Cheng Jiao's rebels, and with General Wang Jian's style, coupled with the addition of Lord Changping The plan will definitely be solved quickly, so there is no room for delay."
After saying that, Jing Liang took out a small package from his arms and handed it to Ying Zheng.
"This is it?" Ying Zheng asked.
"It's red elixir. Didn't I say yesterday that I still have some to give to the king?" Jing Liang said.
Ying Zheng took the package, looked at it, and then carefully put it in his arms.
"Sir." Ying Zheng turned to Li Si and said, "Now that Brother Jing is leaving Qin, has Senior sent anyone else over to help me?"
Li Si shook his head: "Master didn't mention this matter before he left. I didn't expect anyone else to come."
"Can I choose someone I trust to help me?" Ying Zheng asked.
"It's okay, but you have to have a good sense of proportion." Li Si said.
"Similar to the Sima family, is it enough to tell him the grain seeds and planting methods without explaining the whole story?" Ying Zheng then asked.
Li Si nodded and said, "Of course it's no problem."
"Okay." Ying Zheng said nothing, thinking in his mind.
The three of them speeded up a bit, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the checkpoint they passed last time.
Jing Liang showed his token, and the sergeant major in charge ordered the sergeants to let him go.
Jing Liang did not put the token away, but handed it to Li Si's hand.
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel lonely again.
A little less nervous and excited about entering King Wu's Tomb for the first time, Ying Zheng followed Jing Liang and Li Si to the first floor of King Wu's Tomb.
The first floor of King Wu's Tomb has not changed at all, and there cannot be any change.
Jing Liang is still in front, and Ying Zheng and Li Si are behind.
Blue flames danced to guide the three people in the direction of advancement, passing through the array of warriors and warriors. The three people once again stood next to several coffins.
Unlike last time, Jing Liang did not silently activate some mechanism. Instead, he pointed at the coffins and said, "Your Majesty, there are several coffins like this on each floor of King Wu's Mausoleum."
Ying Zheng approached the coffin pointed by Jing Liang and used blue flames to get closer to the coffin, wanting to take a closer look.
"The tip of the coffin points to the mechanism on this level." Jing Liang pointed to the side of the mountain wall where the coffin pointed.
"I already saw him when I came here last time." Ying Zheng said with a slight nod.
"What the king saw was the mechanism for entering the secret room." Jing Liang said, "And these coffins mostly correspond to different mechanisms."
"Oh? How many coffins correspond to the mechanisms?" Ying Zheng said in surprise.
"Your Majesty, please remember that no matter what, do not open or even touch the mechanisms corresponding to the two outermost coffins." Jing Liang said solemnly.
Ying Zheng was a little nervous and asked, "I guess those on both sides are life-threatening mechanisms."
Jing Liang nodded and continued: "For those outside, it is a trap to take their lives, but for those in the secret room, it is a trap to escape."
"Then these two mechanisms can also be opened in the secret room?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Of course you can, but the king doesn't need to know it yet." After Jing Liang said that, he walked to the coffin next to the coffin that opened the secret room, and then walked in a straight line to the front of the mountain wall.
"This coffin corresponds to the mechanism that goes to the next level." After speaking, Jing Liang turned around and unscrewed a stone block.
Ying Zheng walked over consciously, took out the black iron snail and put it into the mechanism.
After waiting for a few breaths, there was no movement.
Just as Ying Zheng was about to ask, he heard a loud crunch on the ground behind him.
Ying Zheng turned around and saw a square stone platform protruding from the ground.
Jing Liang pulled Ying Zheng onto the stone platform, and Li Si also stood on it.
Squeak...squeak...crack...
The raised stone platform slowly sank down again.
Ying Zheng held Jing Liang's hand and dared not let go, for fear that the stone platform he was standing on would suddenly fall.
As the stone platform fell, the heads of the three people had already sunk into the ground.
After falling about another ten feet, the stone platform stopped with a bang.
I saw that one side of the stone platform was leaning against the mountain wall, one end of the side was connected to a row of stone stairs, and the other two sides were exposed.
Jing Liang pulled Ying Zheng down the stone steps, while Li Si still walked behind.
The stone staircase had a slight slope and few steps, and soon the three of them reached the ground on the second floor.
Ying Zheng turned around and looked at the stone platform that sent him down. He saw that the bottom of the stone platform was connected to the mountain, and he couldn't tell what the structure was.
Jing Liang let go of Ying Zheng and continued to move forward while holding the torch.
Ying Zheng no longer thought about what was going on with the stone platform, and followed him holding a blue torch.
When the blue light illuminated the second space, Ying Zheng froze there.
The scene in front of you is exactly the same as the first floor, giving people the feeling of returning to the first floor.
