Ying Zheng caressed the red egg in front of him, imagining the scene of it breaking out of the shell, and the miniature version of Xi's face.
Don't tell me, it's kind of cute.
However, it has a new name - Nian Beast.
Ying Zheng carefully wrapped the red egg in his coat, tied it around his waist, and held it in his arms with his left hand.
Yaizhen warned: "Deal with the influence of this place before going back. I will be waiting for you at Lishan Mountain."
"Okay." Ying Zheng responded, said goodbye to Yajue and Twenty-Seven with Li Si, and returned to the city.
In the next five days, Ying Zheng visited many places to check the attitudes and reactions of the people.
Most of the people were actually just joining in the fun. After all, they had not seen the Xi beast with their own eyes. They just followed the crowd and did whatever the government asked them to do. They were idle in winter anyway.
Families whose people or animals were injured have also received corresponding compensation. Now that the great revenge has been avenged, I am indescribably grateful to the Qin army, especially the King of Qin.
Some people asked about the firecrackers, and Ying Zheng said that those firecrackers were given to him by a worldly master with a celestial spirit to control the Xi beasts. Now that the master has disappeared, naturally they will be found again. No firecrackers available.
Suddenly, King Qin met the gods and received help, and word of punishing the Xi beast spread quickly.
"The First Clan"
There are still various versions.
Some people have guessed whether the Xi beast is the mount of the immortal.
I asked about the mountain top where King Qin met the immortal.
What's more, some even asked if the immortal had a wife.
I wonder if Ji Fa will be stunned when he hears this.
After Ying Zheng once again gathered a wave of people's hearts, he began to return to Qin with his army.
When returning to Hangu Pass, Ying Zheng deliberately left Meng Wu behind to observe Luoyi's movements. Once Zhuge Teng and King Han break up, Meng Wu can support him at any time to prevent Zhuge Teng from suffering a loss.
If that doesn't work, you can also use force to conquer them directly.
After passing Hangu Pass, the people of Da Qin heard that the King of Qin had eliminated the Xi beast, and they all spontaneously organized and beat gongs and drums to greet the soldiers. Many people also sent food to the soldiers to reward them.
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng felt very warm.
The people in my hometown are sincere!
At the same time, he also realized one thing - all the firecrackers in South Korea were set off, but all the firecrackers in Daqin were still left.
How does this work?
Ying Zheng quickly sent many messengers to various counties and counties, ordering all the people to set off all the firecrackers on the day when King Qin returned to the palace.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xianyang Palace finally appeared in front of him, and Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
In this year, the total time he spent in Xianyang was only a few days.
First, he went to the Western Regions and got married to Wu Chan. After returning, Han Fei was attacked by Xi, and then he went to South Korea and stayed there for a winter.
It’s time to deal with the government affairs as soon as possible, and...
Those women who accompany the harem.
And children.
The ministers lined up outside the east gate to greet him, and surrounded King Qin as he returned to the palace.
"Mr. Changping, is there anything important during this period?" Ying Zheng asked Mr. Changping beside him.
Lord Changping cupped his hands and said, "Back to the king, there are indeed a few important matters waiting for the king to come back and deal with them."
"tell me the story."
Lord Changping seemed to have opened up a conversation: "There is a messenger who claims to be an envoy from the Kingdom of Dawan. He said he wants to discuss business with the king. He has been waiting for more than a month."
"There is also a group of people who are said to be elite people, and they want to wait for the King of Qin to get a piece of land."
"News also came from Yiqu Gong in Longxi, saying that several Xiongnu tribes often harassed Longxi, and then moved towards the Hexi Corridor."
"Mengtian brought back a man with a rather mysterious identity. He didn't say his name. He came to me every day and asked me when the king would come back.
. "
…
Ying Zheng was shocked by what he said.
I haven't been back for a long time, and I have accumulated so many things that need to be dealt with.
When it came to the person Meng Tian brought back, Ying Zheng was particularly concerned.
In all likelihood, those were the descendants of the sword-making family that Ji Fa had asked him to find before, and this matter was also closely related to the destruction of 'My Weapon'.
I have been busy with New Year's Eve these past few months, but I have forgotten about it.
"Hurry up and inform that person and bring him to the widow's study." Ying Zheng said a little eagerly.
Lord Changping was a little confused: "Uh... may I ask which one the king is talking about?"
"That's the one Meng Tian brought back." Ying Zheng said, "Where's Meng Tian?"
Meng Tian was also among the welcoming crowd. Hearing Ying Zheng's order, he responded, turned his horse's head, and walked away.
Back in the palace, Ying Zheng paid his respects to Mrs. Huayang, Mrs. Xia and Zhao Ji respectively, and then returned to the study.
A tall figure, together with Meng Tian, was already guarding the door of the study.
I saw that the man had a dark complexion, a good appearance, and was dressed like a woodcutter.
Meng Tian stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, this is the person you asked me to find."
The man nodded slightly and looked Ying Zheng up and down.
"Go and call Li Si and bring another 'my weapon'." Ying Zheng ordered Meng Tian, and then let the man into the house.
After sitting down, Ying Zheng asked: "Excuse me, sir, what is your surname?"
The man cupped his hands and said, "Back to King Qin, I don't have a great name as a villager in the countryside. Others call me Ah Jiu."
Ying Zheng knew that because he did not want to reveal his name, he must have some hidden secret.
Although Meng Tian had been asked to find the mysterious family with the code word, he could not completely gain their trust.
"Haha, I heard that you are quite knowledgeable in sword making." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "I accidentally obtained an ancient magic weapon, and I would like to ask my husband to help me taste it."
Ah Jiu's brows twitched, but he regained his composure in an instant: "The King of Qin must have mistakenly heard some rumors. I make a living by cutting wood and have lived in the mountains and forests for generations. How can I have that kind of ability?"
At this moment, Meng Tian and Li Si entered the room.
Li Si was holding a long wooden box in his hand, while Meng Tian was holding a 'self-ware' in his hand, and then placed it on the table in front of Ying Zheng.
"This is the ancient magic weapon, called 'My Weapon'." Ying Zheng said as he pushed 'My Weapon' closer to Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu's expression suddenly changed. Although he didn't reach out to touch her, the curiosity, eagerness and anticipation in his eyes had long betrayed his thoughts.
Ying Zheng continued: "According to legend, this magical weapon was created by Huangdi Xuanyuan and used it to defeat Chi You. However, after the unification of China, these magical weapons were destroyed by Huangdi. Not long ago, I happened to re-forge them. This kind of magic weapon, I just don’t know where to improve, so I invited Sir here.”
The words have been made clear enough. The person who can recreate the 'my weapon' should be able to explain his identity.
Ah Jiu's eyes were still hesitant.
Li Si said from the side: "May I ask your clan, sir, is it the Ou clan?"
After hearing this, Ah Jiu no longer had any worries, and quickly knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Ou Ping, a common man, pays homage to the Lord."
Ying Zheng quickly helped him up and asked, "Do you still doubt my identity now?"
Ou Ping said: "This is a matter of great importance to the clan, and I hope your lord will forgive me. I am a direct descendant of Ou Yezi's ancestor. For hundreds of years, the clan has lived in seclusion, without being called by heaven, and my identity cannot be exposed."
Seeing him tell the truth, Ying Zheng smiled happily and said, "Okay, in order to completely dispel your doubts, I will show you another treasure left by the Yellow Emperor's ancestor."
At this time, Li Si placed the wooden box in front of Ying Zheng.
beat
Opening the box, Ying Zheng took out an accessory-like object wrapped in red satin.
Opening the silk and satin, golden light suddenly shines, dazzling and soul-stirring.
"This, this..." Ou Ping stuttered, "Is this really... Xuanyuan Sword?"
Ying Zheng pulled out the scabbard of his sword, revealing the beautiful golden sword blade, and said, "It's guaranteed to be genuine."
Ou Ping's legs went weak and he wanted to kneel down again, but Ying Zheng held him back.
"You are not an outsider, so you don't have to always salute." Ying Zheng said, "Now you have no doubts."
Ou Ping said with some shame: "My lord, please forgive me. Our ancestors have ordered that European clans are not allowed to disclose their identities unless they meet the descendants of the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor."
Ying Zheng nodded to express his understanding, and then asked: "The inheritance of your forging skills has not been interrupted, right?"
"No." Ou Ping said with certainty, "Unless the incense is cut off, the inheritance will never stop."
"That's good." Ying Zheng said, "I found you this time because I want to start forging the last magic weapon called 'Chixiao'."
"No problem!" Ou Ping said categorically, "Although the clan has never actually forged a finished product in a hundred years, the skills have never been relaxed. However, it takes a certain amount of time to collect the materials."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "There's no need to go to so much trouble. Just melt down this 'my weapon' and build it again."
"Okay." Ou Ping responded, "It's just that I can't take on the heavy responsibility alone, so I need to find other people in the family to help."
"Of course that's good," Ying Zheng said, "But before you go back, you have to go to Lishan Mountain and talk to my master. He will explain the specific matters to you."
As for the "Master" in King Qin's mouth, the Ou family who knew something about the Tiancheng system could basically make a rough guess.
Ying Zheng gave Meng Tian a few more instructions and ordered Meng Tian to take Ou Ping to Lishan to find Ji Fa.
Seeing the two people leaving, Li Si said with a wicked smile: "Your Majesty, you have put the blame on Master again."
Ying Zheng said with a slight embarrassment: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to accept the smelting secrets that his family has guarded for thousands of years. Besides, this was the master's idea in the first place. With his identity, he will definitely be able to convince Ou Home."
"That's right." Li Si said, "After all, Ou Yezi forged many famous swords, and it was his personal planning."
Ying Zheng: "..."
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Ou Yezi forged many famous swords, and thus became many emperors. It turned out that it was Ji Fa who was planning this behind the scenes.
"The master at that time wanted to choose a successor." Li Si explained, "Unfortunately, after Gou Jian achieved great achievements, his temperament changed drastically and harmed many heroes, so the master gave up on appointing him as his successor. the reader’s thoughts.”
Li Si's words seemed to be an understatement, but they actually reminded Ying Zheng.
No matter what, you can't lose your character and original intention like Gou Jian.
At this time, Zhao Gao's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Xia has prepared a dinner and is calling the King over."
Ying Zheng responded and followed Zhao Gao to Huayang Palace.
Two grandmothers, one biological mother, and several harems are all here.
The table is full of delicious food, and everyone has a bowl of Lantern Festival in front of them.
Mrs. Xia said: "On the day I returned to the palace, didn't you say you wanted to eat the Yuanxiao made by me every year? Today happens to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so I made more to welcome you and wash away the dust, and also to celebrate your success on New Year's Eve. Family reunion.”
At this time, a crackling sound began to be heard outside.
The people followed the instructions and started setting off firecrackers on the day when King Qin returned to the palace.
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Okay! Let's eat Lantern Festival together. We have already designated New Year's Eve as New Year's Eve, and today, let's designate it as Lantern Festival."
