Earth, fire, cave and sky.
In the casting pit, the fire slurry was boiling.
The chaos covering the top of the cave sky moves like boiling water, expanding and contracting.
Xianyang Palace.
Ji Mo, who was dressed in a burlap robe, said: "...In the cave, the firepower has been rising recently, and the temperature is much higher than before.
On the four walls of the cave, there are also incantations carved during the Yin and Shang Dynasties that appear, as if to stimulate and increase the firepower in the cave."
The Secret Palace of Yin and Shang is coming, and it will appear in the Earth Fire Cave and Heaven... A thought passed through Zhao Huaizhong's mind.
Zou Yan obtained some of the digit operation rules of the Yin and Shang secret palaces from the Kunlun Mirror. In the following years, he has been studying the Yin and Shang related relations.
Several years have passed, and the old sage has been able to calculate the approximate time when the Secret Palace of Yin and Shang appeared.
"The changes in the cave sky seem to be accumulating some kind of power. Wei Chen predicts that this accumulation will reach its peak in about half a month." Ji Mo said.
Zhao Huaizhong nodded without saying much.
When he resigned at the end of the season, he thought: There is no war in the Qin Kingdom right now, so it is just a good opportunity to start a big fight...
A quarter of an hour later, Xin Wu held the military talisman given by Zhao Huaizhong and conveyed the order to mobilize troops into Xianyang.
Then the Qin army gathered in Xianyang from various places.
December 1st.
In the morning, the sky is sunny.
The envoys from the four countries, Qi and Chu, who came to Qin before have left, but the envoys from Yan and Wei are still stranded in Xianyang.
Early that morning, Prince Dan woke up from a palace in Jingqian Hall, where envoys from various countries were entertained, and heard noises outside.
He was dressed in a dark blue robe, with fish and dragon patterns embroidered on the shoulders, and a broad band embroidered with silver silk thread on his waist. He walked out of the palace and met Qing Ji, the Wei envoy.
After greeting each other, the two came together to the outside of Jingqian Hall.
When he entered his sight, he saw the Qin army entering the city. Their troops and horses were all ready, and they were fighting in a serious manner.
The armors of these Qin troops collided with each other as they walked, making bursts of metallic vibrations.
There were military horses marching in unison, their hooves hitting the ground like drums.
"Judging from the preparation of the soldiers and armor worn by the Qin troops, these Qin troops are not the forbidden troops stationed near Xianyang, but guards drawn from other places.
What are you doing by mobilizing a large number of Qin troops into Xianyang at this time?" Qingji asked unexpectedly.
Prince Dan pondered: "There must be something happening that we don't know about..."
He added: "I will set off to return to Yan tomorrow, but I will leave my close ministers in Xianyang. When will you return to Wei, Qingji?"
Qing Ji smiled bitterly and said: "Before I set out to Qin, the king told me that if I don't understand the next movements of the Qin people, I will not be allowed to return to Wei."
Prince Dan: "If we find out, and we know for sure that Qin will attack Wei next, what should you do, sir?"
Qing Ji's expression changed: "Prince, please don't joke about this matter."
After a pause, he said: "The prince has received some news?"
Prince Dan shook his head, bowed slightly, and returned to Jingqian Hall on his own.
His recent activities in Qin were not without success. Although he did not find out the exact next move of Qin from some Qin officials and even Zhao Huaizhong.
But Zhao Huaizhong once revealed that Qin had no intention of attacking Yan.
Prince Dan believes that at least in the short term, Qin really has no plans to attack Yan.
Judging from a military perspective and even geographical location, the next target of Qin's attack is most likely Wei!
Prince Dan returned to Jingqian Hall, prepared several gifts, and soon went out again with several attendants.
It's approaching noon.
They arrived at the south of Xianyang City, outside a huge mansion.
There was a gathering of people outside the mansion at this moment, and it was very noisy. They were all important officials of the Qin people or members of the clan, with high status.
Outside the main entrance of the mansion, there is a word "Meng" hanging high.
The house was decorated with red decorations, but someone was holding a happy event.
A few years ago, the veteran General Hegong publicly stated at the court that he wanted to marry his granddaughter Wang Shang to Zhao Huaizhong as his concubine.
Zhao Huaizhong did not accept it, but he did not want to hurt the heart of the important military minister, Duke Lu. Then he arranged for Meng Tian and the Wang family girl to meet several times, and the two hooked up.
It stands to reason that as a monarch, you should not promote the marriage of two families who are both military dignitaries, so as not to leave the hidden danger of supporting the military and self-respect.
Zhao Huaizhong has no scruples in this regard. On the one hand, he knows the context of history. The Meng and Wang families have always been loyal. On the other hand, even in this world, history has changed and it is not enough to fully believe it. He still has the confidence to control everything.
and strength.
After Zhao Huaizhong ascended the throne, he granted marriage to the two and settled the marriage.
Two years later, the Yao clan was born, and the situation suddenly became tense. Although the two had agreed to get married, they never held a grand ceremony.
Until the end of the attack on Zhao, December 1st was the wedding day of Meng Tian and Wang Shang.
Prince Dan and other foreign envoys were in Xianyang. After hearing about it, they came to join in the fun and prepared generous gifts to express their congratulations.
When Prince Dan came to Mengtian's house, the house was already filled with guests, who were coming and going.
After the official banquet, Zhao Huaizhong and Jiang Shu showed up in person, showing great favor to the Meng and Wang families.
The bride, Wang Shang, is the granddaughter of Duke He, and she is also a big bear beauty. She has a different kind of charm, almost comparable to Yan Huansha.
No wonder Duke He said that his granddaughter was the most beautiful concubine in Qin. Although he was bragging to himself, it was not unreliable at all.
Wang Ben already had a son named Wang Lei.
He, Meng Yi and other young generals of the Qin Dynasty were all here, busy at home and abroad.
Zhao Huaizhong came over and sat for a while, had a drink and then left first.
Prince Dan chased him out and chatted quietly with Zhao Huaizhong beside the carriage.
When Zhao Huaizhong boarded the car, Prince Dan bowed deeply beside the car. After getting up, he stared at the car frame in the distance and remained silent for a long time.
He then returned to Jingqian Hall and prepared to leave Xianyang.
Zhao Huaizhong and Jiang Shu went to Huacaoju together.
"It's snowing." Jiang Ji said happily.
The wind blows, the snow foam is flying, and the coldness becomes heavier after winter.
Zhao Huaizhong took Jiang Shu's hand and walked into the Flower and Grass Residence together.
The last time he came to Huacaoju, Zhao Huaizhong was so busy experiencing the feel that he didn't find time to give Mu Yangjing the Xilan Mountain obtained from the sacrifice.
The Qi contained in the soil is most suitable for nourishing plant growth.

Wei, the capital of Daliang.
King Jingmin Wei Wu urgently summoned Lord Longyang to the palace.
The two of them were currently in a palace, the door of the palace was closed, and they were discussing secretly inside the palace.
The reason for their secret discussion was that there were fourteen volumes of simple books before them at this moment.
Longyangjun, who has a charming appearance and a delicate demeanor like a woman, raised her eyes slightly and looked at the simple letter and said:
"Your Majesty hasn't said yet, where did this brief letter come from?"
"It was found in the sacrificial hall in the northeast corner of the palace.
I went to worship the late king today, only to find these bamboo scrolls on the tribute mat. I asked the guards outside the palace and the palace staff who cleaned daily, but no one knew when these bamboo scrolls appeared in the ancestral hall."
Wei Wu looked surprised: "Someone must have secretly entered the palace and placed these simple books in the ancestral hall in the back hall."
"The place where the king lives daily is an important part of the palace. It is heavily guarded and difficult to enter and exit.
If someone enters the palace, it would be easier to place these letters in the back hall. But I don't know what the purpose of the person entering the palace is to send these letters but hide them without revealing their traces?"
Long Yangjun looked through the bamboo slips one by one and said in shock:
