Ying Zheng was thinking about the Kunlun Holy Mountain, and unknowingly he had returned to the position of tying the horse.
After looking at the tethered cattle and sheep, it seemed that there was no need to rush into the cave anymore. Taotie must have made his own arrangements.
As for the Kunlun Mountains, let’s not think too much about it for the time being. Wait until we see the King of Xiqiang and ask him carefully. I don’t think there will be time to go there in a short time, because after leading Jingjue back to Daqin, it will start immediately. The battle for unification.
If you want to travel far away again, you can only wait until Zhao is destroyed.
After riding out of the forbidden area, Wu Chan had already greeted him.
"How's it going? Did it go well?"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "That's right. I know some clues, but I can't say more to you now. I have to go back and discuss it with Master."
Wu Chan also knew that his man's heart held the most secrets in the world, so he didn't ask any questions and pulled Ying Zheng towards the ghost cave.
"Ever since the Great Elder confirmed the existence of the Ice Gu Seed Insect from you, the young men in the tribe have been rushing to become Ghost Hands." Wu Chan said with a smile, "Uncle Thumb has been busy selecting these insects these days, and he also We need to select a group of people from the original ghost hands who specialize in feeding seed insects."
"Then let's take a look." Ying Zheng said, "It's just... I can't be of much help."
"Why can't you help?" Wu Chan said, "Your prestige now is higher than that of Thumb and I combined. If you go for selection, everyone will be convinced."
Ying Zheng: "..."
How come I got a bird's nest from Ice Phoenix, filled it with a few bugs, and became the idol of the Ghost Cave Clan?
It would be unbearable if they called it "index finger".
When they came to the ghost cave, the ghost hands really respected Ying Zheng extremely, and the eyes of the young men who wanted to join the ranks of ghost hands were full of worship.
In addition to worship, there is also desire.
Everyone hopes that Ying Zheng can choose him. When he arrives in Great Qin, even if he cannot serve the ice Gu seed insect, he can at least follow the forging of secret stones, and his status is better than that of ordinary people.
Ying Zheng saw that many of the people looked familiar. After asking around, he found out that they had all followed the army to Loulan to rescue him.
What else can I say? Accept them all!
Now that King Qin has spoken, the thumbs are too lazy to pick anymore. Anyway, if you want to build the Great Wall, you will also need a lot of ghost hands, so there is no need to be as selective as before.
With this move, Ying Zheng's status in the hearts of young people has been improved.
There are still some days left before the whole family migrates after spring. In winter, it is also convenient for Ghost Hands to train in Fire Eye, so Thumb divides the newly selected novices into several groups and lets the experienced hands train with them every day.
The great elder was not idle either. He led several elders to gather the clan heads of various tribes and held meetings for several days.
Now, these clan leaders have all agreed to carry out a nationwide migration, some of which are proactive. They have been preparing within the clan for more than a year and mobilized most of the people.
In order to give them greater confidence, Ying Zheng came almost every day and asked the two brothers of the Meng family to tell the clan leaders about the customs, customs and cultural landscape of Great Qin.
Meng Yi was already very eloquent, but now he added more fuel to his words, coaxing these elders and clan leaders into a happy mood. They were eager to go to Da Qin immediately, and the sooner the better.
After the mobilization meeting, the clan leaders returned to their clans one after another, encouraging the clan members to sell off their assets, and persuading those who were still hesitant to make up their minds.
In fact, as long as you make up your mind, what if you go to a foreign country empty-handed?
Most of those who were hesitant did not believe in the threat of the desert, and always felt that the matter was not as serious as the court said.
So Ying Zheng suggested that all those who did not believe in evil should be organized to go to the Sand Mill to observe, measure the distance the desert spreads every year, and experience the power of quicksand.
After several operations, more and more people among the people were determined to follow the King of Qin to migrate collectively, and they were ready and waiting for the call at any time.
But the weather is cold and not suitable for long-distance treks. We can only set off until spring.
On this day, Ying Zheng followed the team that went to the desert back to Jingjue City. In the palace warmed by charcoal fire, the little princess had not yet woken up.
Ying Zheng took a bath, removed the dirt on his body, and chatted with Wu Chan.
"If we were in Da Qin, people would have already begun to prepare for the New Year at this time."
"New Year?" Wu Chan asked with great interest, "I've heard you mention it in your letters before. What was it like?"
Ying Zheng talked about the entire New Year's Eve and the process of hatching the Nian beast with great interest.
"To tell you the truth, these things are secret, so I only told you in such detail."
Wu Chan still had some unfinished thoughts and quickly asked: "What happened next, what happened to the little Nian beast?"
Ying Zheng said: "I put it in Lishan Mountain. It should have returned to its own place and will not come out to harm others in the future."
"I understand." Wu Chan said thoughtfully, "There should be a god in the Lishan Mountain where you built the royal tomb. Could the previous Xi Beast be his mount?"
Ying Zheng thought: The whole world knows about the Xi Beast, and there is nothing that can be done about it, but the specific matters about Yajue and the Nine Sons of the Dragon must not be leaked.
"You're right. The god I have over there is a bit of a cousin to the one here, so they can communicate easily."
Wu Chan covered his mouth and smiled: "Do gods also have cousins?"
"Why not?" Ying Zheng said seriously, "It's not like they were drilled out of stone. As long as there is a mother, there will be cousins."
"That's right." Wu Chan said, "Then you think the gods are more powerful?"
"I've never seen a god's mother before." Ying Zheng said with a bad smile, "But the child's mother is really powerful."
After saying that, he hugged Wu Chan.
Wu Chan groaned, but did not escape.
But at this moment, a figure appeared at the door. Seeing this, the elder who had already stepped into the threshold with one foot hurriedly covered his eyes and retreated quickly.
Wu Chan pushed Ying Zheng away slightly in embarrassment, and said with a blushing face: "Look at you, you can't even show your appearance in broad daylight."
Ying Zheng didn't care much and walked out to find the elder.
The great elder said somewhat uncomfortably: "My lord, I came in a hurry, so..."
"Is there something urgent, Great Elder?"
The great elder nodded and said, "The Dawan envoy and the Persian envoy have arrived. What do you think of the arrangement?"
Ying Zheng looked at the sky and then said: "It's already late. Please treat them well and bring them to the Imperial Study Room tomorrow. By the way, how many people are here and what items have they brought?"
"They each brought a team of a thousand people." The elder replied, "There are also hundreds of carriages. I don't know what's inside, but it looks like the carriages are very heavy."
Very heavy?
Could it be filled with gold and silver?
Ying Zheng felt very happy, because the goods from Jiayuguan were coming soon. If he could reach cooperation with Persia, he would definitely make a lot of money.
"Enter them well, but don't let them walk around the city freely." Ying Zheng said, "Just say that the army has just returned from the battle and is on guard against spies."
The great elder retreated in response, but walked faster and faster.
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and returned to the room.
"The Great Elder never needs to announce when he comes here." Wu Chan said with a smile, "In the past, Zhehuai reported it first, but now he is training ghost hands with Uncle Thumb. The Great Elder must be used to it, so he came in directly."
"Hey, what does this have to do with it? The Great Elder is not an outsider." Ying Zheng said, "By the way, there are still some things I don't understand about the Jingjueyu you taught me. Please teach me again."
During this time, in order to better get along with Jingjue people, Ying Zheng began to learn Jingjue's language and writing. During the day, he followed Thumb and Philosophy, and at night he talked to Wu Chan in Jingjue language.
People who eat Xuanwu fruit are different. They can understand animal language, let alone human language? Therefore, Ying Zheng learned it very quickly. Within a few days, he had basically mastered it, and there was no big problem in ordinary conversations.
The next morning, two figures in strange clothes appeared in the lobby.
The taller one is Kukanqi, the envoy from Dawan. Needless to say, the other one must be the envoy from Persia.
Kukanqi saluted and then introduced: "Dear Queen and King Qin, the person next to me is the envoy of Persia, Prince Mode."
Prince?
It seems that the identity is quite good.
Wu Chan said: "Welcome Prince Mod to Jingjue. Please come and sit down in the study to drink tea and talk in detail."
What Wuchan said was Jingjueyu. After Kukanqi heard it, he translated it to Mod.
Moder nodded in response, and then followed Wu Chan and Ying Zheng to the imperial study room at the back.
After sitting down, greet each other again and then enter the topic.
"Prince Merde traveled thousands of miles to come to me, why?" Wu Chan asked.
Mod said: "Back to Your Majesty the Queen, my king heard that the eastern country is rich in products and very rich, so he sent me here to see what happens."
Wu Chan smiled and said: "If you are talking about wealth, you are not looking for me. You have also seen this Jingjue City, and it is probably not as good as Persia."
Kukanchi said: "The so-called rich products are of course referring to China. To be honest, we are here to establish diplomatic relations with Great Qin."
It's still Kukanchi who speaks quickly.
Ever since he went to Qin State with the caravan, he has always been thinking about the wealth there. After returning to Dawan, he also talked about it with everyone he met.
It would be hard for people to believe it if they blew it randomly, but they brought back a large amount of tea, silk, pottery, and even several kinds of grain that Dawan had never seen before!
The King of Dayuan also regarded those goods as treasures and ordered people to use those grains to cultivate seeds. Although the effect was not great, it was a new variety after all, so he ordered Kukanqi to buy more seeds when he went back.
As for other goods, they were not distributed to the common people at all. They were circulated among the rich and powerful, and they were praised without words and often caused fights.
The King of Dayuan then made a huge profit. You must know that if he sold the bloody horse to those powerful people, he would not be able to get the price at all.
Who wouldn’t want to do this kind of business?
Persia and Dawan are neighboring countries. They have always been on good terms with each other and have no disputes. Prince Merde once went to Dawan as an envoy and saw that the dignitaries were actually wearing silk and satin?
This is too luxurious!
Unsure of the reason, he thought it was a god who descended to Dawan and gave the Dawan Palace a large number of gorgeous clothes.
After careful inquiry, I learned that Dawan exchanged ten sweat-blooded horses with an Eastern Divine Kingdom for countless grains, silk and tea.
Food, drink, and clothing are all available!
What kind of luck did Dawan have? The royal family turned into real powerful people overnight, and their food and clothing were several levels higher than ordinary people.
After drinking too much at a banquet, Mod learned that King Dawan wanted to establish continuous trade with China and promote Daqin's goods to the people.
In Persia, Mod was good at amassing money. How could he miss this kind of money-making thing?
So he rushed back to Persia and reported the matter to the king of Persia.
The new Persian dynasty had just been established for more than 20 years, and it was time to recuperate. No one wanted to miss this opportunity.
Therefore, the king of Persia asked Merde to take a large amount of gold and silver to Dawan, and begged the king of Dawan to take him to the east with him.
King Dawan knew that it would be beneficial for him to be among them, so he ordered his envoy Kukanqi to bring Merde to Jingjue.
Wu Chan looked at the two envoys and smiled slightly: "If we establish diplomatic relations, you have to tell the King of Qin, because our country, Jingjue, has surrendered to Da Qin and will move to Da Qin in a few days."
"What?"
The two envoys' eyes widened and they couldn't believe their ears.
