Early the next morning, Meng Yi came to Gucheng Palace.
Zhao Gao took Meng Yi into the secret room behind the study, and then guarded the door of the study.
There were only three people in the study, Ying Zheng, Li Si, and Meng Yi.
Ying Zheng gently placed the complete black iron compass in front of Meng Yi and said, "Although you have seen me operate it many times, I still have to demonstrate it to you again in great detail."
"Okay." Meng Yi nodded.
Ying Zheng started with how to open the compass and explained it in detail step by step.
In fact, Ying Zheng had never heard Li Si explain such a detailed explanation before. In the past, he had only watched from Li Si's side and only asked occasionally.
But this time, not only Ying Zheng, but also Li Si was extremely serious, taking out a brocade that recorded the operation methods, and adding a few words from time to time.
After the explanation, Ying Zheng pushed Xuan Tieluo in front of Meng Yi and asked Meng Yi to operate it himself.
For this reason, Ying Zheng also specially found a bronze book and placed it in a corner.
Meng Yi adjusted the pointer to the level where the bronze book could be found, and then waited for the pointer to rotate on its own.
Sure enough, the pointer automatically rotated, and finally slowly pointed in the direction of the bronze book, then stopped.
"Not bad." Ying Zheng praised, then put away the bronze book, found a small piece of ore, and placed it in different locations.
"Try this again." Li Si said.
Meng Yi adjusted the pointer of Xuantieluo and then shook it left and right.
The pointer automatically rotated again and finally stopped in the direction of the small ore.
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems there is no problem."
Li Si also said: "If you don't know what kind of mineral it is, just change it and look for it."
"Understood." Meng Yi put the black iron snail into the compass.
"Are you ready for the rest?" Ying Zheng asked.
Meng Yi nodded and said, "Everything is ready and ready to go at any time."
"Then set off immediately. Don't let your subordinates wait for you for too long. I will see you off." Ying Zheng said.
"Okay." Meng Yi responded.
Ying Zheng, Li Si and others sent Meng Yi and his team outside the west city gate.
"Your Majesty, stay here and wait for the good news from this humble minister." Meng Yi said with cupped hands.
"Be careful." Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Meng Yi bowed to Ying Zheng, then bowed to his father Meng Wu and brother Meng Tian, then gave a ring salute to everyone, led his team, turned his horse and left.
Everyone waved goodbye, and Meng Wu's eyes showed a trace of reluctance and love.
Watching Meng Yi drift away, Ying Zheng felt quite complicated.
There seems to be some worry, but more of it is hope.
Hope for Mengyi's rapid growth, hope for the early development of minerals, and hope for a new army equipped with magic soldiers in the future.
Meng Yi's team had just gone far when they saw several war horses galloping towards them from the other direction.
Looking from a distance, it was none other than Jing Fan.
Jing Fan and several assistants rushed to Ying Zheng, cupped his hands and said, "The king is here. He must have come out of the city gate to see off Meng Yi."
"Not bad." Ying Zheng saw a large wooden box on Jing Fan's horse and asked, "Are you here to deliver the magic weapon?"
Ying Zheng gave the one he made yesterday to Wei Liao. Because if he was going to Lishan Mountain, he had to take one with him to give to Xi, so the Jingjia Ban forged a new one overnight.
"Exactly." Jing Fan said, "We said goodbye to Tian Yi and others in the morning, and then we completed the final process and hurried over."
"They just left." Ying Zheng said, "With Tian Yi taking care of me, I feel a lot more relieved about Meng Yi."
scene
Fan nodded and said: "Tian Yi is rough on the outside and delicate on the inside, and he is a loyal and righteous man. Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng sighed lightly, stopped worrying, said hello to Meng Wu and others, and took Jing Fan back to Gucheng Palace.
The two came to the secret room, and Jing Fan handed over the newly made magic weapon to King Qin.
Ying Zheng looked at it carefully and found that it was indeed no different from the one made yesterday, except that the totem of Xi on it had been changed and placed at the top, and the style was also more beautiful. It was obviously modified by Wei Liao.
This can be done by Xiang Xiang.
Ying Zheng looked at the magic weapon in his hand, his mind already flying to Lishan Mountain.
It's time to leave too.
Things have almost been arranged here in Xianyang, and Lu Buwei is in charge of government affairs, so there is nothing to worry about.
"Jing Fan, use the remaining materials to make magic weapons, then send them to the Meng Mansion and give them to Wei Liao to train the new army," Ying Zheng said.
Jing Fan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have estimated that in addition to Mrs. Hu Yu's one, we can make up to five more."
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Just five, that's all for the time being. We hope Meng Yi will bring back good news soon."
"That's all we have to do." Jing Fan said, "As for the quality of the divine weapons, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry. The Jing family class has learned everything Master Ting Wei taught."
"That's good." Ying Zheng asked, "Do you have any other needs?"
Jing Fan thought for a while and said, "In terms of demand, isn't the king trying his best to meet the needs? I just don't know how many people from the Jing family class will be needed for the king to build the royal tomb this time?"
Originally, Ying Zheng wanted to take Jing Fan to Lishan Mountain this time, but the first priority now was to forge a batch of "weapons" so that the new army could quickly start practicing, and Tian Yi followed Meng Yi. , so this time I can only bring with me the few craftsmen who have been to the fourth floor of King Wu’s Tomb before.
These craftsmen also generally understood the secrets of building royal tombs.
But this is just a front station. When Jingyao is free, more people will definitely be sent to Lishan. After all, no matter how many people the Meng family army has, they can only use some brute force, and they don't know the craftsmanship of construction.
After summing up, Ying Zhengcai said: "This time, let's take a look at the terrain first, and then make arrangements when construction starts."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jing Fan cupped his hands and said.
After chatting for a while, Jing Fan left, and Ying Zheng sent Zhao Gao to inform Lu Buwei that the next day, the King of Qin would go to Lishan Mountain to survey the terrain and design a plan to build the royal tomb. The Meng family army would send three thousand soldiers to escort him. .
After the arrangements were made, Ying Zheng walked towards the harem.
In the past few days, a question that has been bothering Ying Zheng is whether to bring several ladies with him, or several of them.
Ying Zheng sent people to call all five ladies to his dormitory.
Nansu was the closest, but came the slowest, probably because her slightly bulging belly made it difficult to move.
After Nan Su sat down, Ying Zheng cleared his throat and said with a smile: "I believe you already know that I have been busy forging the magic weapon 'My Weapon' for the past few days, and now it is completed!"
Not only do we know about it, we also see it every day.
Hu Yu waved something bigger than a shield in the yard every day, and no one could see it.
However, all the ladies still cooperated and said in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng nodded proudly and continued: "What I want to discuss with you is the matter of going to Lishan Mountain to build the royal tomb that I told you before."
"Really? When are you going?" Hu Yu asked eagerly.
"Tomorrow." Ying Zheng replied.
"Ah?" All the ladies were shocked.
"Things in Xianyang have been arranged, and of course we have to start building the royal tombs." Ying Zheng said.
"You can go out and play again." Hu Yu rushed over again.
said.
"I still have to go out. I've only been back for a few days." Lan Ting said lazily.
"I really don't want to go this time. I want to stay at home to raise my baby." Nansu said, holding her belly.
Several ladies started talking angrily.
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said: "I am not here to have fun this time, and I don't want to take you there. I want to say goodbye to you for a few days."
When the five ladies heard this, they were all stunned.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take me with you this time?" Hu Yu was the first to come to his senses.
"Yeah yeah."
"Is it going to be hard this time?"
The ladies who were complaining just now and saying they didn't want to go out suddenly changed their tune when they heard what Ying Zheng said.
Ying Zheng was a little speechless. He waited until the ladies stopped and then said: "Building a royal tomb is not as simple as building a house. Besides, this tomb is a place of yin energy. It is not good for you women to go there."
After hearing what King Qin said, the five ladies all closed their mouths. One by one, you looked at her, and she looked at you.
Ying Zheng continued: "Actually, I can't go there for only a few days. This time I mainly take the Jing family class to explore the terrain. We have to wait and discuss with Jing Fan on how to start the construction."
"The king must be careful during this trip and never take risks when encountering dangerous terrain." The reasonable Nansu said first.
"Yes, Your Majesty, if anything happens, just leave it to the ministers," Wen Xuan said.
"Why don't you, Your Majesty, take me with you," Hu Yu said.
When a man goes out, a woman can't let go.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "I have remembered your concern, how about we have a good meal tonight and practice it for me."
Knowing that these ladies would continue to chatter endlessly, Ying Zheng changed the subject.
"Okay." Nan Su turned to the sisters and said, "How about we cook in person tonight and make a good meal for the king?"
Several ladies nodded, except Hu Yu.
She's really not good at this.
"Sister, your belly is a little big, so don't work too hard." Hu Yu said looking at Nansu.
"That's right." Minruo said as if she was just waking up from a dream, "You two sisters are pregnant, so you can't be tired. Let the three of us cook this meal."
Hu Yu secretly smiled, what he was waiting for was your words.
That night, the three ladies, Lan Ting, Wen Xuan, and Min Ruo, personally cooked and prepared the dinner.
Although they were cooking in person, there were about a dozen chefs nearby who were busier than them.
Nansu was not idle either. He prepared Chuqin and planned to play it during the dinner.
Naturally, Hu Yu couldn't dance the sword at the banquet, otherwise he might as well go to the kitchen to help, so he had to follow Nan Su.
At the banquet, Ying Zheng was extremely happy.
The magic weapon "My Weapon" was finally made, which was a major event related to the unification of the six countries.
The father and son of the Meng family are in charge of important matters and work together.
I met Wei Liao recently, and he was about to create his own formation about the magic weapon.
Your own royal tomb is about to be built, which is a good thing whether it is for public or private purposes.
Thinking about these things makes you laugh.
The sound of Nansu's piano is like flowing clouds and flowing water, which is melodious and intoxicating.
With such a good time, good wine, and beautiful people, it is easy to forget oneself.
However, these are just Ying Zheng's occasional relaxation before departure. He knows that there is still a long way to go in the future and there are still very difficult things to challenge.
The next day, Lu Buwei brought Lu Wen and Lu Wu to see him off.
Outside the East City Gate, three thousand Meng family disciples escorted Ying Zheng towards the east.
Target, Lishan.
