Chapter 386: This World, the Last Name is Ying, the Ying of Ying Zheng
The old apprentice's face changed drastically, his eyes were full of alertness, his whole body was tense, as if facing a great enemy.
Guiguzi looked calm and took out a piece of gold from his bosom.
The dark yellow gold immediately attracted the attention of Liu Ji, Lu Wan and Fan Kuai, and they were all jealous.
Guiguzi stuffed the gold into Liu Ji's hands and said:
"Five hundred coins to pay the bill, and five hundred coins as a gift to you."
Liu Ji was overjoyed and bowed to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, my Lord!"
He pulled two brothers who wanted to stay and see how things developed into the restaurant.
Although he was also curious about how Brother Liu, a native of Pei County, could know Guiguzi, a foreigner who had nothing to do with him, but compared to curiosity, gold was more precious.
"Uncle Wang, pay your debt!"
"Where did you get five hundred dollars?"
“…”
There was a commotion in the restaurant.
Outside the restaurant, Guiguzi looked down at Brother Liu.
"Let's talk somewhere else."
Leading the old apprentice ahead, Brother Liu touched his head and followed closely with a hoe on his shoulder. The dirt on the hoe fell off as he walked.
In the fields, rows of dug ridges are arranged vertically. The dark yellow land is irrigated with well water, and the color becomes darker and tends to black when wet.
These ridges were dug out by Brother Liu diligently. There is not a single weed in the cultivated ridges, which is also the result of Brother Liu's daily inspection and hard work.
"Who would have thought that a naughty boy under ten years old could gain the loyalty of a farmer. Who would have thought that this naughty boy would send the farmers' children to all corners of the world."
Guiguzi looked at the farmland, where farmers were working non-stop, facing the loess and with their backs to the sky, sowing seeds, fertilizing, digging, and watering.
If Brother Liu bent down and walked in to work, and only looked at his back without seeing his face, it would be difficult for others to tell who was Brother Liu, except for those who were close to him.
When Brother Liu entered the fields, he was like a drop of water falling into the ocean; he and these farmers were cut from the same mold.
Guiguzi asked curiously:
"How many people did Chang'an Jun arrange here?"
Guiguzi knew it very well ever since he confirmed that Ying Chengjiao came from the future.
Although his former master Ying Chengjiao did not know Yin-Yang magic, corpse magic, or immortal magic, but when it came to the secrets of heaven and the general trend, no one could compare to him.
Whenever Brother Liu smiles, he reveals a row of shiny white teeth.
"Your Majesty did not tell me that you had such a question, so I don't know how to answer."
"What did Chang'an Jun say?"
"Your Majesty only told me to send my regards to the prince."
Guiguzi chuckled.
"This is indeed Chang'an Jun's character. He likes to play with people's hearts."
"Is there anything else, sir?"
Brother Liu put down the hoe, leaned on it with one hand, and put all his body weight on the hoe.
"If nothing else, I'll plant some seeds."
Delivering the message was just a side job; farming was his main occupation, and he hadn't finished farming his fields yet.
“There is one thing indeed.
"It is impolite not to return the favor. Please pass on a message to you on behalf of Chan."
Guiguzi looked up at the sky. In the blue sky during the day, there were a few white clouds moving slowly, but not a single star could be seen.
“One of the three surnames is different.
"Ziwei leaves the palace, and Mars leaves its position, and then guards the heart.
"Chu has three surnames. If Qin is to be destroyed, Chu will be the one. This is a great disaster.
“To break this calamity, it’s simple, just keep Ziwei in the fate palace.
"Ziwei is the master of destiny, and the stars are dim."
Brother Liu is from a farming family. He has received education and is not illiterate.
But he was still unsure about some of the words Guiguzi said, and was not sure whether the words Guiguzi said were the ones he was thinking of.
"Sir, please take a pen and write it down."
A difference of one word makes a world of difference.
When it comes to matters concerning his lord and the famous retainers of the Chang'an Lord's Mansion, Brother Liu is careful and cautious, just like caring for newly grown seedlings of crops.
"Okay."
Guiguzi smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.
【Changan Jun, come again. 】
【Let's see whether the heavens or humans are more accurate in their calculations. 】
[Please do it again, man will conquer nature, and destroy the heart of Zen! ]
There was a man named Ying Chengjiao in Pei County, but Guiguzi didn't care about him.
Guiguzi cares a lot whether the secret is right or not!
Brother Liu followed Guiguzi to Guiguzi's temporary residence. He looked around and inadvertently glanced at Guiguzi's writing. After just a little look, he could not hide the shock on his face.
[Ziwei, these two words? Ziwei means emperor, so this refers to Your Majesty?]
[Ziwei has left the palace, the central palace is empty, your majesty is no longer in Xianyang? How is this possible! ]
Brother Liu was very confused and suspected that the father-in-law who was the source of the trouble was talking nonsense.
Pei County originally belonged to the State of Chu and was very far away from the Qin capital of Xianyang, so the news of the First Emperor's tour had not yet reached them.
…
Huashan was the first place visited by Emperor Qin Shi Huang during his tour of the world.
The name of Mount Hua first appeared in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Tribute of Yu", which means that the name "Mount Hua" existed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
"Water Classic: Notes on Wei River" records: It is five thousand feet high, cut into four directions, and looks like a flower when viewed from a distance.
In ancient times, "Hua" and "Hua" were used interchangeably, so "Huashan" means "Huashan".
In the late Shang Dynasty, people lived at the foot of Mount Hua.
During the Zhou Dynasty, Mount Hua was called "Taihua Mountain" and was one of the routes for the Zhou emperor's tours.
When Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the country and established the Qin Empire, Mount Hua became one of the Five Great Mountains and was established as a place for sacrifice.
The purpose of the Emperor's trip was to worship heaven and earth, famous mountains and rivers, and to thank heaven, earth, gods and ghosts for their blessings, allowing the Qin State far away in the west to unify the world.
By the way, pray to the heaven, the earth, the gods and the ghosts, hoping that the coming year will be good weather, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and that the battle will be victorious.
Huashan, one of the Five Great Mountains located within Hangu Pass and less than 400 miles from Xianyang, is naturally not to be missed.
The huge convoy traveled through the woods. The surrounding trees were lush and green, and some of the grass was taller than a person.
The number of convoys in the woods and grass was at least half the number when they left Xianyang City.
The flag teams, ceremonial guards, and eunuchs and palace maids carrying royal utensils that represented the power of the First Emperor did not enter the mountain area, but stationed outside and waited silently.
The existence of these people not only makes the First Emperor's life more comfortable.
The more important role is to show the king's power, majesty and status to the common people. It is to make the people realize the gap and difference between themselves and the king, so as to deepen their respect for the king and facilitate management.
There were not many common people in Mount Hua, so the First Emperor gave an order and told these people to wait outside.
Some of the officials got off the car and made direct remonstrances.
"No, a king should have the dignity of a king. How can he be like a country bumpkin?"
Ying Chengjiao retorted with just one sentence.
"I guess you can't live without being served?"
If the First Emperor had said this , his ministers could have cited the power of the Zhou emperor as he toured the country to persuade him.
But Ying Chengjiao, who rode in the four-horse carriage with the First Emperor, said that when the officials saw that the First Emperor did not express anything, they bowed slightly, lowered their heads and took their leave.
The First Emperor was reasonable, but Chang'an Jun was unreasonable.
Although the word "scoundrel" has disappeared from the mouths of the ministers, his behavior has always been deeply engraved in their hearts.
He blasphemed the words of the saints, caused a great disturbance in the court, held a wax sacrifice to rebel against heaven, exterminated Meng Xibai, and requested the title of Marquis of Guanjun for a dying man.
Which of these things can a normal person do?
The carriages rumbled, and the undeveloped mountain roads were full of bugs and rats. The Qin army, which had charged and killed the enemy on the battlefield, changed their opponents and used the Qin swords that had cut off the enemy's heads to cut grass and branches to make way for the four-horse carriage.
Click, click, click~
Brush, brush, brush~
The Qin army tried their best, but they could only clear most of the obstacles in a short period of time, but they were unable to smooth the already rugged road.
Although the four-horse carriage was padded with animal skins, it was still not very comfortable as it rolled over the potholes and the interior of the carriage was rocking back and forth.
From the first bump of the four-horse carriage , Ying Chengjiao's brows knitted together, and he never relaxed. He said more than once, "You'd better wait outside and suffer this damn punishment with me!"
The First Emperor was calm and composed, as he had experienced a lot of hard times in the State of Zhao when he was a child.
Although he is now the ruler of the world and enjoys luxury, he has never lost his will to conquer, and this bump is not torture for him at all.
Nightfall.
The team stopped, dug pits, cooked, and lit bonfires.
The First Emperor and Ying Chengjiao did not need to get off the carriage, as someone would naturally bring them delicious food.
Ying Chengjiao had a hard time getting used to most of the Qin food, but this was not the case with barbecue. The wild rabbits, pheasants, and wild boars caught in the mountains were fresh and pollution-free, and they were roasted to their original flavor, and sprinkled with salt, they were extremely delicious.
The First Emperor tore off a piece of shiny chicken, took the first bite, chewed it a little, and immediately opened his eyes wide in surprise.
This tasted several times better than the roasted chicken he had eaten before. It was not only fresh and delicious, but also cooked to the perfect temperature, with crispy skin and juicy meat.
The First Emperor called Zhang Han, who had just delivered the food, and pointed to the roasted chicken, roasted rabbit, and roasted deer legs on the table in the carriage.
"Which chef did this?"
Zhang Han showed a trace of embarrassment and stole a glance at Ying Chengjiao.
"This is what I did."
When the First Emperor heard this, he was not happy but angry, and his eyes narrowed.
"You cook for me? Who told you to?"
Ying Chengjiao rolled his eyes.
"I let you do that . If you have any problems, come to me."
The First Emperor waved his hand to let Zhang Han go. He already knew that it was Ying Chengjiao who ordered him to do so. He also knew that Zhang Han had not made any small moves just now.
Apart from him, the only one who could command Zhang Han was Ying Chengjiao.
"You go down first."
"only!"
The First Emperor looked at his brother who was eating heartily with an unfriendly look, and finally stopped frowning and muttering to himself, "I shouldn't have gone into the mountains with you."
"Zhang Han is a skilled martial artist. His job is to protect you and me. Why are you letting him be a cook?"
"It's because he is a highly skilled martial artist that I want him to roast it. Others don't have strong enough internal energy and can't learn my roasting method."
“…”
[Is the deep inner strength used for barbecue? 】
The First Emperor finally understood why the chicken was roasted so well and cooked to perfect perfection.
Ying Chengjiao's move is like using AlphaGo to play Gobang, and he still has the first move.
Ying Chengjiao took a sip of freshly squeezed orange juice.
"Just tell me if it tastes good or not, that's all!"
“It’s not about whether it tastes good or not, it’s about…”
"Zhang Han's duty is to protect you, he can't do anything else. Only when everyone performs their duties can there be peace. Failure to distinguish duties will only cause trouble. I shouldn't order Zhang Han around for the sake of verbal desires. I shouldn't be too indulged in desires... Is there anything else to say, my brother?"
The First Emperor snorted when his speech was interrupted.
"You have finished speaking, what else do I have to say?"
"Then let's eat!"
“…”
The two brothers feasted together.
Half an hour later, Zhang Han presented a hawk with a piece of letter tied to its claws.
After eating and drinking his fill, Ying Chengjiao took it, casually removed the letter, and unfolded it.
[Chu has three surnames. Chu will be the one to destroy Qin. This is a great disaster. The three surnames are originally different.]
[Ziwei leaves the palace, and Mars leaves the position, and then guards the heart, and the three surnames are together. ]
[To break this calamity, Ziwei must not leave the center palace. Ziwei is the master of life, and the stars are dim. ]
All of a sudden, Ying Chengjiao turned over and stood up, with a strange look in his eyes.
Not long after Guiguzi left, he finished reading the book "Shizi" left by Guiguzi. He could not say that he was proficient in the part about theory and popular science, but at least he could understand it.
But Ying Chengjiao had a hard time understanding the following techniques. He knew every word, but he couldn't recognize them together.
But Ying Chengjiao was not in a hurry.
As far as he felt, it was just the same as when he first started practicing martial arts.
It was a long time after he got to know the eight extraordinary meridians and major acupoints, and he spent two months rubbing them before he could feel the internal force.
Corpse magic is similar to martial arts, it is a completely new field that requires practice.
Corpse magic cannot be mastered in a short period of time, but this does not mean that Ying Chengjiao knows nothing about corpse magic.
Ying Chengjiao remembered the terminology almost exactly.
[Chu has three surnames. Chu will destroy Qin. Isn't it true that Chu has only three families, but Qin will be destroyed by Chu? I have done so many things, how can Qin destroy me? Who are you trying to scare? ]
[Originally one of the three surnames was missing, and the emperor's brother was on tour, which resulted in the missing surname? Why does it sound a bit fatalistic? Which three surnames are these? This old ghost should have written it clearly. ]
[Ziwei is the emperor's elder brother, and Zhonggong should be the capital. This means that as long as the emperor's elder brother does not leave Xianyang, the Qin State will not perish. Ha, superstition! I don't believe you! ]
Ying Chengjiao clenched his five fingers, put his hand through the carriage window, and spread out his five fingers to scatter countless tiny pieces of paper that were almost invisible to the naked eye. No matter how skilled the craftsman was, he could not restore it.
He called out casually:
"Royal brother."
The First Emperor looked alert.
"Dead."
“…”
Ying Chengjiao took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to beat up Qin Shi Huang, and kept a serious expression.
"Go back to Xianyang and have your concubines give me some nephews and nieces. I will take your place on this tour.
"Although not many people in the world know what you look like, I will put on a human skin mask to act out your appearance. Trust me, no one will be able to tell.
“You’ve been king for so long, let me sit here for once.
"I will offer sacrifices to the heavens, the earth, the ghosts, and the gods on your behalf, and punish the remnants of the six nations who still have evil intentions. You can let me show my prowess in front of the people."
The First Emperor's wary look faded away and he laughed.
This parade is not a glorious display of power in front of others, but a dangerous show of strength.
He was going to the Chu area, where the terrain was complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
We also need to go to Qi, where the national strength is well preserved and was almost unaffected by the war of unification.
He wanted to go to Zhao, which had just been bloodbathed, and completely break the unyielding backbone of the Zhao people! He wanted Zhao to be unable to stand up straight for a hundred years!
How could I go back to Xianyang and enjoy safety and happiness, leaving the danger to my younger brother?
If he was afraid of death, he wouldn't be on patrol!
In this world, everyone has the surname Ying, the Ying of Ying Zheng!
"Your Majesty, the Yin-Yang Doctor Xu Fu wants to see you. He said that he observed the celestial phenomena at night and Mars was in the heart."
Zhang Han reported outside.
