That night, Ying Zheng returned to his tent and called the Meng brothers.
"Your Majesty, where have you been these past few days? You've worried us a lot." Meng Tian said.
Obviously, these two brothers are not as well-informed as Thorin and Qiang Yu.
"I went to the Sand Mill," Ying Zheng said.
"Huh?" The brothers were shocked.
Then, Ying Zheng told them the events of the past few days in more detail.
Of course, yesterday's episode with Wu Chan was automatically filtered out.
"Your Majesty, since we are going to the desert, why don't you ask us to go with you so that you can have someone to look after you on the way?" Meng Tian said.
"Yes, since that place is so dangerous, the king won't take us with him." Meng Yi said.
"Haha, it's not as dangerous as you think." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "I think that the desert has a different kind of beauty that is different from the past. It's a pity that you haven't seen it."
Meng Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the millstone of sand is constantly expanding? If this is the case, wouldn't it be very dangerous for Jingjue in the future?"
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Indeed, unless the red current in the fire eye is completely cured, but according to the senior's opinion, after China is governed, this place will be implicated instead, and the consequence should be to intensify the spread of this millstone of sand. .”
"Huh?" The two Meng brothers were surprised at the same time.
"Do they know about this?" Meng Yi asked.
Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "This question is still just speculation, and I don't want them to know. What's more, they are already making plans. After all, no one wants to make future generations homeless."
"Your Majesty, you want to take them in?" Meng Tian seemed to understand Ying Zheng's thoughts.
"Of course." Ying Zheng said with certainty, "But they have to be willing."
"Haha, the king just took in Yiqu, and now he wants to take in Jingjue. If this continues, I'm afraid the Great Qin will almost run out of room." Meng Yi joked.
"So, it is even more necessary for us to pacify the world in one fell swoop." Ying Zheng clenched his fists firmly.
"Well, we should go all out." The two Meng brothers responded in unison.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "When the time comes, you can just act as a junior. I don't want you to be the head coach."
"Why?" The two brothers asked in unison.
"First of all, the battlefield is too dangerous." Ying Zheng said, "Secondly, I also want the Meng family army to preserve its strength. Maybe there are more important things to do."
"What's more important?" Meng Tian blinked and asked, "What is it?"
"Build...build...the Great...City!" Ying Zheng said word by word.
"The Great Wall?" Meng Yi asked in surprise.
"Well, that's right." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "As you already know, one of my very important responsibilities is to repair the northernmost dragon vein. The focus should be on the key points that make up the dragon vein. There are fire eyes, and in order to quickly get from one fire eye to another, you can't walk on mountain roads. Therefore, I want to connect the beacon towers in the north and build a Great Wall, on which the war horses can gallop. Connect the fire eyes everywhere in the most convenient way."
Meng Tian nodded thoughtfully and said, "In this way, both people and objects can reach another fire eye in the shortest time."
"Yes, that's it." Ying Zheng said, "And the Great Wall should be built as high as a city wall to prevent sudden attacks by the Huns from the north. This will form a barrier."
"I understand." Meng Tian nodded and said, "But where is the eye of fire that the king mentioned, and where is the dragon vein heading?"
Ying Zheng shook his head gently and said: "Senior has not informed me about this yet. It must be because the time has not come yet, but I want to make some preparations in advance. After all, now that the secret stone has been requested, there will not be much It wouldn’t be a pity to take advantage of it.”
"Build the Great Wall out of dense stone?" Meng Yi's lips
With a little excitement.
"Of course." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I don't want to build a long
The city is vulnerable. If we want to build it, we must build a Great Wall that will remain standing for thousands of years. "
"Okay!" Both Meng brothers laughed.
"Your father should have arrived at Jiayuguan by now. If there is an opportunity to rebuild Jiayuguan, why not try to build a section of the Great Wall first to accumulate some experience and help resist the Xiongnu invasion." Ying Zheng said.
"Of course this is good, but who does the king want to supervise the construction?" Meng Tian asked.
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "This time, let General Meng supervise the construction first. When he is almost done, he will pass on his experience to you."
"My lord, take your orders!" the two brothers said, cupping their hands.
"Okay, let's go, it's time for me to take a rest." Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, please rest early and I will leave." After Meng Tian said that, he and Meng Yi stood up and walked out of the tent.
"Wait a minute." Ying Zheng seemed to have remembered something again and called them.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" Meng Tian turned around and asked.
"You ask the sergeants to turn in all the flying crossbows, put them in the car, and send them to Jingjue Palace tomorrow." Ying Zheng said, "And tell the sergeants that after returning to Xianyang, I will reissue them with new ones."
Meng Tian and Meng Yi were reluctant at first, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, they looked at each other and smiled: "Okay."
"Go ahead."
The two brothers responded and left the tent.
Ying Zheng was indeed a little tired, but he couldn't sleep.
After talking about political affairs, all that came to his mind was the figure of Wu Chan.
I don’t know what my wife will think if she finds out.
Ying Zheng opened the cloth bag he brought back and took out a riding whip.
This riding whip is brand new and has never been used. It is Maple Leaf's exclusive riding whip given to Ying Zheng by Wu Chan.
Because Maple Leaf was still in the stables of Jingjue Palace and would only be taken with Ying Zheng when he left, Wu Chan gave his riding whip to Ying Zheng first, which also symbolized Maple Leaf's ownership.
Ying Zheng held the whip tightly with both hands, smiled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes wandered, and Wu Chan's figure was all in his mind.
On the other side of the Jingjue Palace, Wu Chan also placed the black iron snail on his pillow, looked at it again and again, and stroked it again, with a sweet smile always hanging on his face.
Near noon the next day, Ying Zheng personally led a motorcade to the gate of Jingjue Palace.
Zhehuai naturally knew that King Qin was here to deliver the flying crossbow, so he happily led his people to greet him outside the palace.
"Captain Zhehuai, inside this carriage are three thousand flying crossbows and countless crossbow arrows. Please check them." Ying Zheng said very politely.
"Thank you, King Qin, for your kindness. There is no need for inspection." Zhehuai said with a smile.
However, Ying Zheng glanced at Zhehuai and said, "Hey, let's check it in public. If the quantity is insufficient, I will make up for you later."
After saying that, Ying Zheng waved his hand and signaled the sergeants to open all the boxes.
Zhang Yong led the people to open all the boxes, and the flying crossbows were neatly displayed in front of everyone.
Ying Zheng did this, of course, for the people of the Western Regions to see, and in the streets in the distance, there were indeed many people watching the excitement, whispering to each other and not knowing what they were talking about.
In fact, it doesn't matter what kind of weapons are given. What is important is King Qin's move.
From now on, all the countries in the Western Region will know that behind Jingjue, there is China's Great Qin, a powerful backer.
After counting the numbers, Ying Zheng and Zhe Huai pretended to be polite before carrying dozens of wooden boxes into the palace.
In the main hall, the elite elders and dignitaries had long heard Zhehuai Shen blowing, and their expectant eyes were almost on fire.
The objects that King Qin gave them before had already made these outstanding and important people look good. Now they see King Qin sending them new weapons that they have never seen before. How can they not be jealous?
Ying Zheng Habits
He gave everyone a flying crossbow and asked them to take a closer look.
Suddenly, there was another sound of admiration in the hall.
Wu Chan remained silent, only peeking at Ying Zheng from time to time.
In her opinion, Ying Zheng’s move
There is no doubt that they are trying to please the "maternal family", and these elders also play a key role in whether the two people can eventually become a couple in the future.
However, the flying crossbow cannot be given away this time. After all, it is ordnance and needs to be managed uniformly.
Several generals, including Zhe Huai, were eager to give it a try. Wu Chan was also very interested, so he ordered everyone to go to the training ground of the Forbidden Army.
This training ground is not big, but it is enough to perform.
Several generals found some sergeants to use longbows and competed with them.
While competing, these generals laughed heartily, as if they had found a treasure.
Others watching the fun also praised Fei Nu.
Ying Zheng looked at Wu Chan secretly and found that Wu Chan was also looking at him, so he took the opportunity to wink at Wu Chan.
Wu Chan also smiled slightly and stuck out his tongue at Ying Zheng.
After some gestures, the generals returned the flying crossbows in their hands with unsatisfied intentions. Their reluctant eyes looked like they had lost some treasure.
Returning to the main hall, it happened that Thumb and a dozen ghost hands also came to the main hall.
Wu Chan knew the purpose of Thumb's visit, so he said loudly: "If you have nothing else to do, please retreat from the court."
The Jingjue ministers responded and exited the palace gate one after another.
Wu Chan looked at Thumb, smiled, and said, "Uncle Thumb, do you have anything important to do when you return to the palace this time?"
He saluted with his thumb and said solemnly: "Clan Chief, the ghost hands heading to China have been selected and the ice Gu is ready. Please check it with the Clan Chief."
"Well done." Wu Chan said, "But let King Qin do this inspection."
Thumb nodded, turned to look at Ying Zheng and said: "Prince Qin, please."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Since Senior Thumb has made arrangements, there is no need to check, but I don't know when can we leave?"
"You can do it at any time." Thumb said, "It all depends on King Qin's decision."
Ying Zheng looked at Wu Chan, feeling sad in his heart, but could not say the words that came to his lips.
All the things were basically done, and it was time to go back, but how could Ying Zheng be willing to leave now? He wanted to stay in Jingjue forever, and stay by Wu Chan's side forever, never leaving.
Maybe it was a real mutual love, different from the marriage of the queen and his wife, or maybe it was just obtained, which is where the love is strongest.
Ying Zheng's feelings for Wu Chan are pure and even stronger.
Looking at Wu Chan's expression, it seems that he is almost the same as Ying Zheng.
However, as an exquisite queen, Wu Chan was the first to speak: "Now that everything is ready, please ask King Qin to make some adjustments before setting off immediately. Don't forget, I am waiting for good news from you. "
Although there was still a hint of power in his tone, it was not difficult to hear that Wu Chan's voice was trembling.
Ying Zheng bit the tip of his tongue sharply and woke up from the cold for several minutes. Right now, we should focus on the overall situation!
"Okay, we will set off immediately after we return to the army and make adjustments." Ying Zheng said.
An hour later, outside the east gate of Jingjue City.
Wu Chan handed Feng Ye's reins to Ying Zheng's hands and said very gently: "Brother, you must be nicer to Feng Ye. Having him by your side means Wu Chan is accompanying you."
"Okay, I will treat it well."
"Also." Wu Chan paused and said, "We must also take good care of Uncle Thumb. He is old, and nothing will happen to those ghost hands and ice Gu."
"No problem." Ying Zheng said.
"Then, I'm back to the palace. I'm waiting for your good news in Jingjue." Wu Chan smiled, then turned around and left.
"Aren't you going to send me off again?" Ying Zheng asked anxiously.
Wu Chan shook his head gently, but did not look back: "I'm afraid if I see you off for a while, I'll be even more reluctant to leave you."
After saying that, Wu Chan left quickly and resolutely.
Ying Zheng was about to call out, but his throat was already so painful that he couldn't make a sound, so he could only watch Wu Chan's back in silence.
