At the end of the third year of King Qin's reign, late December, was the official day for the clan leader's birthday.
In Daqing, the Shennong family in Jiangshui City had plenty of food. They hosted running-flow banquets for guests, which was already the most luxurious thing in this era.
After celebrating all day, the next morning, Mu Yangjing and Jiang Jibiao drove back to Xianyang.
Just when the two of them got on the chariot and were about to set off, a few people quickly walked out of the crowd of people who came out to see them off: "Queen Qin, wait a moment."
Several people who walked towards the carriage were stopped by the Qin army and did not have a chance to get close to the carriage.
Yu Gui sat high on a tall horse whose body was as red as flames, looking at the people in front of her coldly.
The leader is a middle-aged man, wearing warm yellow clothes, handsome appearance, with a small mole on the arch of his eyebrow, fair skin, and the aura of being pampered and having been in a high position for a long time.
The three or five people following him were all attachés.
These people are from another clan, the Si family.
The Si family is said to be a remnant of the Xia Dynasty before the Shang Dynasty, and they were also from a powerful clan.
The leader is named Si Kuan, and he is the second most important figure in the Si family after the head of the family. He is tall and thin.
Next to him was a junior member of his family, who was in his early twenties, strong and majestic.
After being stopped by Yu Gui's soldiers, he looked unhappy and said: "I am a member of the Si family, don't you know that, how dare you be so rude!
We have something to say."
Yu Gui said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just say it here so that the queen and everyone in Mu can hear it."
Si Kuan, the leader, smiled and bowed to the frame without feeling dissatisfied:
"I know that Jiang Xi, the Shennong clan, returned to Xianyang today. My sister-in-law's family has given me something as a token of friendship with Qin."
An attendant behind him opened the sandalwood box, and inside was a pair of antique copper bells: "These are heart-tone bells. The sound of the bells can clear the mind, concentrate the mind, and promote spiritual practice."
This pair of bells is an ancient artifact from the near-immortal world."
Discussions suddenly broke out among the Shennong people who came to watch the Queen of Qin's carriage ceremony.
The Si family gave away ancient artifacts from near immortals, which was quite a gesture.
Jiang Si's voice came from inside the carriage: "The Si family is serious about it, so there is no need for gifts.
I will convey the wishes of the Si family to your Majesty on your behalf."
Yu Gui waved her hand: "Get up."
The team, supported by thousands of soldiers, set off immediately.
The whole team made no noise at all. There was a sense of solemnity in the silence, and they slowly walked away.
Si Kuan slowly retreated into the crowd.
Soon after, he came alone to the wooden attic where the Shennong family had invited the Si family to live.
Here, Si Wenxin, the head of the Si family, and another tall and thin middle-aged man were standing at the attic window, looking at the escorting team of the Queen of Qin going away.
Si Kuan approached the head of the family, Si Wenxin: "Jiang Xi and Jiang Su came back to celebrate their birthdays this time. During a total of four days, we went to ask for permission six times, but we were all rejected.
The female general in charge of guarding is a saint from the Butian Sect, and has the cultivation of a saint. She has no chance of getting close, and the things have not been given away."
Si Wenxin smiled and said: "Don't worry, look at the momentum of this Qin army."
He pointed at the procession of the Queen of Qin who was walking slowly away.
Thousands of Qin troops were like a winding black dragon, and the weapons in the hands of the soldiers were like sharp claws, dragging away, which was extremely frightening.
"The people of Qin are so powerful that they come to the DPRK from all directions, so naturally our family will not be left behind.
The Queen of Qin is not easy to get close to, so get closer to the Shennong clan, the Ji family, and the Butian Sect, and you will eventually find opportunities to get closer to the Qin clan."
Si Wenxin glanced at the tall and thin man beside him: "What do you think, Brother Jing?"
The man beside him is Jing Bian, the head of the Jing family in Yandi.
He was also looking at the retreating Qin army, and said with emotion: "Sure enough, there is a majestic atmosphere that is unparalleled in the world. We cannot win at once, but we have to work hard to achieve it."
Brother Si’s words are good advice.”
Si Wenxin looked at Si Kuan: "My Si's family wants to marry Mu Yangjing. Since she won't marry him, we should change our strategy and let the younger generations of the family interact more with other women from the Shennong family, the Ji family, and the women from the Butian Sect.
, and gradually close the relationship with these families."
Si Kuan bowed: "I will pass on the family master's order right now."
A few days passed by.
In early January, it was cold.
Wei, Daliang.
A message was sent to Wei Wang Wei Wu: "Your Majesty, the news sent by the Yan people, the Si family, the Jing family tried to contact Qin Queen Jiang Shu, and Shennong's Mu Yangjing, but they failed..."
"It doesn't matter."
Wei Wu is in a very good mood recently.
He had already tested the Yin Shang military strategy on the Wei army, and the effect was beyond imagination.
After some time passed, Wei Wu regained some of his ambitions when he first came to the throne: "Our great Wei army is getting stronger day by day, so why should we fear Qin? The next day, our elite Wei army will be able to suppress the Qin army head-on on the battlefield."
At the same time, another message was also sent to Zhuxian Cave Heaven.
In the large palace, the Moon-Wang Lady and the Thunder Drum Mother met:
"There is news that the Jing family tried to get close to the Qin clan, but the progress was unfavorable and no opportunity was found."
"It's okay, it's just the beginning."
Mother Lei Gu said: "If we can get close to the Qin people's clan and exert influence on the Qin people, it will be of great benefit to our plan."
He added: "I am afraid that people from other countries will not think that the Jing family is not only an ancient clan that has entered the world, but also people who have been taught by me. We are secretly involved in promoting most of the things that countries do."
The Lady Wan Yue sighed: "Actually, all countries are not easy people, they are all powerful countries that emerged from the vassal period.
It's just that the Qin people have been too strong in recent years, which has overwhelmed other countries.
The newly destroyed Zhao and the current Yan have suppressed the Xiongnu, Donghu and other foreign tribes, making it difficult for them to advance even an inch, which shows their power.
However, the Zhao people, who are good at fighting, were defeated by the Qin people so quickly, which really surprised me."
Old Mother Lei Gu nodded: "It's a pity that the people of Qin don't listen to discipline and have the ambition to annex the world. This is inconsistent with the plan of my teaching.
The people of Qin are too ambitious and are destined to only prosper for a short time."
————
Early January.
The weather is getting colder.
Xuangu Academy, Flower and Grass Residence.
The entrance to a small cave slowly stretched out here.
It's freezing outside, but inside the cave it's warm and the flowers are blooming, unaffected by the outside temperature at all.
In this small cave obtained by Zhao Huaizhong's sacrifice, there are two low hills adjacent to each other, and in the middle of the hill is a quiet lake.
The lake water is clear and a little sweet, so you can drink it without being a porter.
The lake water is diverted into streams that spread throughout the cave.
Entering from the entrance is hundreds of acres of fertile fields, and there is a small forest on the left.
Zhao Huaizhong believes that such a cave is most suitable for use as a base for vegetable greenhouses and is a natural greenhouse.
Mu Yangjing had previously tried to plant exotic flowers and rare herbs in the space of the Sheji Tu. Later, Lieutenant General Zhao Huai detained the captured monsters in the Sheji Tu, and the plan to plant them in the map was abandoned halfway.
Now that we have this cave, we can bring in medicinal herbs, fruit trees and other species.
Mu Yangjing was in the cave at the moment, with a pretty face filled with joy.
Zhao Huaizhong is also here.
The cave was newly opened, and Qin generals such as Jiang Ji, Yu Gui, and Lu Buwei also came to watch the excitement.
“We can try planting wheat, rice and other crops that are expected to be promoted next year in this cave.
I think the climate and temperature in this cave can be adjusted by magic. I might as well imitate the weather in Xianyang and other places in the Qin Dynasty and try to see if it can produce two crops a year."
As a miscellaneous family member, Lu Buwei knew a little bit about everything and discussed farming with Mu Yangjing.
Zhao Huaizhong stayed in the small cave newly named Taoyuan for a quarter of an hour before returning to Xianyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, the damaged bronze figure is not easy to repair. I discussed with Ji Mo and planned to cut it into pieces as a reference to officially start the smelting and casting of our Great Qin bronze figure." Lao Sikong came to Huihui to report.
Zhao Huaizhong agreed: "The four bronze statues of generals obtained in the secret palace can also be used for cutting and reference to accumulate experience in the process of casting bronze statues."
Lao Sikong asked: "What kind of regulations do we use to cast bronze figures in Da Qin?"
The refining of the twelve bronze men is divided into different regulations, that is, the sizes are different.
The previous incomplete bronze figures were more than twenty feet tall, which was of medium size. There are also larger bronze figures in the sacrificial refining method, which can reach thirty-three feet in height, and smaller ones are more than ten feet tall.
Zhao Huaizhong said: "Of course the bigger the regulations, the better, but they have to be within their capabilities."
Lao Sikong received the order and left.
Later, Mu Qingkong rushed over and delivered a secret report received by the government.
The secret report was sent back by Feng Huan.
He received Zhao Huaizhong's order a month ago to sneak into the Zhuxian Cave.
After leaving Da Qin, he rushed to the southern coast, disguised himself as a fisherman, and silently waited for the opportunity.
The entrance to the Zhuxian Cave is on a small island, but the Jiejiao people in the cave occasionally come out to trade living supplies with coastal fishermen.
Feng Huan got Da Qin's support behind him, and after observing for a while, he found an opportunity, and Ye Yu Mansion took action to secretly arrest a person from Zhuxian Cave Heaven.
Then use Zonghengshu and other methods to inquire and obtain their conscious memories.
After Feng Huan made the relevant preparations, he transformed into the opponent and sneaked into the Jie Jiao Cave.
He has always been good at this kind of operation. If he turned into a woman, even the husband of the other party would not be able to recognize her. It was so lifelike.
The secret report Zhao Huaizhong received at this time was already the third time Feng Huan had delivered the news.
More detailed each time.
"The Zhuxian Cave is headed by three deities, among which the first-ranked one is named Jing. His traces are mysterious. He has not been seen yet and not much is known about him.
The second of the three is the Moon-wielding Lady, who possesses sword energy, is in the realm of a saint, and has advanced cultivation. However, she likes men and has nearly a hundred male pets. She occasionally recruits additional disciples.
The only condition for selecting disciples is appearance...the last of the three deities is Leigu Mother..."
At the end of the secret letter, Feng Huan also mentioned that in addition to the Zhuxian Cave Heaven, the Jie Sect was suspected to be more than just this branch of the sect, and there seemed to be hidden forces behind it.
The details are being investigated.
The letter also mentioned that the Moon-Wang Lady among the three statues is strong, but she likes to cultivate her appearance and has weaknesses in her character, which she can take advantage of...
Zhao Huaizhong thought for a moment after seeing it, and then sent a message to Lu Buwei, who was handling official business, and asked: "Is Lao Ai from Prime Minister Lu's house still there?"
Lu Buwei was handling official duties in the side hall of Xianyang Palace. When he heard the inquiry, he responded: "Lao Ai is still serving as a teacher in my house, and she is quite diligent."
Zhao Huaizhong said: "Very good. I want to use Lao Ai to do something with Prime Minister Lu. I wonder if it's inconvenient for Prime Minister Lu?"
Lu Buwei said happily: "This is Lao Ai, and it is also the honor of the Prime Minister. There is nothing inconvenient. The king can send him to do things."
Two quarters of an hour later, Lao Ai, who was dressed in silver robe and had a high profile, was brought to Zhao Huaizhong by Lu Buwei himself.
"The little man Lao Ai has met the king." Lao Ai bowed down and bowed.
The power of the Qin Dynasty is growing day by day, which is obvious to all.
And Lao Ai has always had the desire to follow the dragon and the phoenix.
His fear of Zhao Huaizhong continued to rise with the increasing power of Qin and Zhao Huaizhong.
With the etiquette of kneeling and kowtowing to meet the Lord of Qin, Lao Ai still felt that it was not enough and was frightened.
He didn't even dare to look up, feeling inexplicable fear in his heart.
When another person can decide his own life or death at will, he cannot help but be afraid of it.
"Lao Ai, I heard that you are good at figuring out women's thoughts and have some expertise in matters between men and women?" Zhao Huaizhong said calmly.
Lao Ai's energy perked up slightly. He became more energetic when he mentioned this.
Immediately he said: "The great king knows clearly, but the villain is frightened."
Zhao Huaizhong: "I heard you can spin the wheel? Take off your pants."
Lao Ai is not shy. This is the same as going to a big company for an interview and you need to show your strength.
He stood up immediately and said, "You are brave, little man." Then he lifted up the hem of his gown.
Lu Buwei took a glance at it and thought to himself: This guy really has some special abilities.
Zhao Huaizhong glanced at it and thought to himself: This is it... just to scare ordinary women who have no knowledge. I am like a dragon and python, and that person is like a snake and insect.
However, it is indeed higher than ordinary people and can barely pass the test.
"I have something for you to do."
Lao Ai was overjoyed and knelt down to kowtow again.
He had been struggling to join the Qin family, but Zhao Huaizhong took a fancy to his talents and was willing to give him this opportunity.
"The villain is willing to die to serve the Qin Dynasty and to be loyal to the king. I will never dare to have any second thoughts." Lao Ai said.
"Just do things well." Zhao Huaizhong said.
A quarter of an hour later, Lao Ai accepted the task with a happy face.
He returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, packed his belongings, and headed south, preparing to meet Feng Huan and receive pre-job training. Then he changed his appearance and sneaked into the Zhuxian Cave.
Lao Ai was so confident that she sneaked into a sect to seduce a slutty woman and become her face. Hey, if I don't charm that woman, how can I show my skills?
Lao Ai regards this task as a ladder for subsequent promotions, and decides to do it well at any cost in order to show her own value.
Zhao Huaizhong was also thinking: This is called making the best use of things, fighting poison with poison, and using Lao Ai to accomplish this, it will definitely make the Zhuxian Cave Heaven go crazy.
Well, let’s take a breath of silence for Jie Jiao.
Time flies so fast and it’s three months later.
The cold winter is gone, and the warm spring is coming again.
Xianyang Palace.
In the morning, the sun is shining brightly.
Zhao Huaizhong was checking some news sent by Ye Yufu about the past winter from the four countries.
