"Cheng Daring Promise failed?"

"Yes, not only did it fail, but even Cheng Wuxing had already been buried in the north, and less than ten people he brought out escaped back, I heard them say that there was a master by Meng Ling's side to protect him, and Cheng Wuxing died in his hands, and Meng Ling was able to survive because of this master."

"Although Cheng Wu's martial arts are not the top in the Ten Warriors, they are not bad, and there are probably not many who can defeat him. Unexpectedly, Meng Wu's subordinates still have such masters. ”

"Since Cheng Fearless's operation failed, will it expose us?"

"Please rest assured, the two elders have not made a public appearance in the Qin State, no one knows him, so they will not expose us, if this is not the case, I will not send Cheng Wuxing to attack Meng Ling, if you send someone from the five god generals, the result will be different."

"What about the others who escaped? Have you all been executed? ”

"Of course, those who fail in the mission have only one way to die, even Cheng Wuxing is dead, as subordinates, of course there is no reason for them to live anymore, our subordinates don't need such people."

"Hahahaha! Han Teng, it seems that there is indeed nothing wrong with Lord Chiyou choosing you as the successor, and those who can't complete the task will only have a dead end, of course, Lord Chiyou manages his subordinates like this. ”

Han Teng owed a debt and said, "Thank you Elder Feng for your compliment." ”

Elder Feng said, "But this time you failed to kill Meng Ling, what are you going to do?" Do you want to send a second group of people to kill Mongling? ”

Han Teng shook his head and said: "Meng Ling and his entourage have arrived in Qingyang, the guard general Xu Qing is Meng Wu's henchman, he will definitely send troops to protect Meng Ling back to Xianyang, even if I send the five god generals to attack, of course I can kill Meng Ling, but they have all appeared in public in the Qin State, and they will definitely expose their identities." ”

Elder Yu said, "Do you want us to help you?" ”

Han Teng smiled and said, "Such a trivial matter, how dare you labor the two elders to make a move, in fact, as long as this move has been made, our goal has been achieved, so it doesn't matter whether we kill Meng Ling or not, but in order to further advance our plan, there may be a time when the two elders need to make a move in the future." ”

Elder Feng also nodded, and said: "Yes, this time's plan, you have designed it well, I am afraid that the Qin State will fall into turmoil in the future, if we need to take action, just ask, but the matter of Jiuding, you have to investigate as much as possible, don't delay it for too long, we can't stay in Xianyang for a long time, before we leave, there must be a result." ”

Han Teng said: "Yes, I will do my best to investigate, two elders, I will retire first." ”

After Han Teng left, Elder Yu said, "I don't think Han Teng is reliable, he just wants to borrow the power of Lord Chiyou to establish his own power, not to realize Lord Chiyou's will. ”

Elder Feng said: "I don't need you to say it, I have already seen it, but this qiē has long been in the hands of Chi Youda, and Han Teng is just an ant who is not able to measure himself in front of Lord Chi You." ”

Elder Yu nodded and sneered, "If you actually try to play with Lord Chiyou in the palm of your hand, he will understand in the future that he is just a grasshopper that shakes a tree." ”

Elder Feng said: "It's just that now we still have to use him, so we want to inquire clearly, Jiuding's secret, this is our only clue, so let him have his own dreams again, and we will try our best to cooperate with his actions to help him gain a foothold in the Qin State." ”

Elder Yu said: "However, I don't expect Han Teng to completely count on the investigation of Jiuding, we should take the initiative and investigate it ourselves." ”

Elder Feng said: "What you said makes sense, tonight, let's take action, first go to the Qin Guozong Temple and take a look at the environment." ”

―――――――― dividing line――――――――― dividing line ―――――――― Qin Palace, Jongmyo Temple.

At the end of the daily ritual activities, the other servants withdrew from the temple, and only Hehua and Chisongzi were left in the large temple.

At this time, Chi Songzi was carrying his hands behind his back, looking at the eight big tripods placed on the altar in front of the offering table, and he was stunned.

He Hua said: "The teacher has to look at these eight big tripods here every day, do you see something?" ”

Chi Songzi shook his head and said, "No, it's been more than twenty years, and I still don't have a clue at all?" Maybe it's because there are only eight tripods, so it's so difficult that you have to collect nine tripods? ”

He Hua came to the altar, stretched out his hand and touched a tripod body, and said: "Is there a mistake, I see that these eight big tripods are ordinary bronze tripods, although they are very large and beautifully made, but there is nothing special about them, if we want to cast similar bronze tripods, even if we cast ten more eight, it is even bigger than these eight tripods, it is completely possible." ”

Chi Songzi said with a smile: "With the current national strength of the Qin State, it can naturally be cast, but when were these nine tripods cast?" ”

He Hua sighed slightly, and said: "The legend is cast by the ancient saint King Dayu, who has made great contributions to water control?" ”

Chi Songzi nodded, and said: "Although the detailed age of King Yu is difficult to find, it should be at least two thousand years away from now, two thousand years ago, it is difficult to cast such a bronze tripod, isn't it special?" And after King Yu, after the third generation of Xia and Shang, after the Xia Dynasty was the king of Yu, it was natural to inherit Jiuding, but the second generation of Shang had nothing to do with King Yu, and these two dynasties could completely cast a larger bronze tripod than Jiuding, but the kings of the Shang and Zhou dynasties did not recast the tripod, and still took these nine tripods as the treasure of the town and the sacrificial heavy weapon, which is not a special place? ”

After listening to Hehua, he couldn't help but ponder, Chi Songxiao's words are very reasonable, even now, if you want to cast such nine tripods, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources, not to mention more than 2,000 years ago, in addition, in this era, the weight of sacrifice in national events is quite heavy, and the utensils used in the sacrifice are to show their respect for the ancestors of the gods and goddesses of heaven and earth, so it is the top priority, and the style, specifications, casting process, etc. of the sacrificial vessels are extremely particular, and there is no reason to use the relics of the previous dynasty. And the second generation of the Shang Dynasty regarded the Jiuding of the Xia Dynasty as the most important sacrificial vessel of the dynasty, and also regarded the Jiuding as an artifact, which is indeed a very strange thing.

At this time, Chi Songzi said again: "Another point, that is, before my teacher died, he left a last word, these nine tripods are closely related, and only by investigating the secrets of these nine treasures can I ......"

As he was talking, Chi Songzi's face changed slightly, because he suddenly found that the eight bronze tripods placed on the altar actually emitted a layer of green seeping light.

And He Hua also noticed the changes in the eight bronze tripods, and couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Teacher, what's going on." ”

Chi Songxiao's eyes shot a blazing light, and said, "Maybe the secret of Jiuding is about to be solved." ”

―――――――― dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― Qin State is a country that attaches great importance to laws and regulations, so the city gate of Xianyang City is very closely checked, and the people and merchants who enter the city must show the coupon book, and after a detailed examination, they can enter the city. But this line of Gao Yuan is not an ordinary family, there is Meng Qi to negotiate with the army defending the city, and when he saw that it was the personnel of the Meng family, the soldiers guarding the door did not dare to stop and ask carefully, and immediately let him go.

When Meng Qi was negotiating with the soldiers defending the city, Gao Cheng carefully observed this super city in this era with Linzi, the capital of Qi, and Daliang, the capital of Wei.

Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State, was roughly located about 15 kilometers east of Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. Construction began in the twelfth year of Qin Xiaogong (350 BC), and in the thirteenth year of Qin, the capital was moved from Liyang to here. At that time, Xianyang City was only a small city, but with the continuous expansion and operation of the Qin kings in later generations, after nearly a hundred years, the current Xianyang City has reached the Yellow River in the east, and the Qianhe River and the Wei River in the west; From Jiushan in the north to Qinling in the south, the area is vast, with a total area of 40 square kilometers, and includes palace buildings such as Jique, Xianyang Palace, Lanchi Palace, Ganquan Palace, Shanglin Garden, etc., with a permanent population of more than 500,000 super cities.

In another time and space, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he absorbed the palace architecture model of the six countries in the Kwantung region, imitated the palace of the six countries on the Xianyang Plateau, expanded the imperial palace, and later built the famous Afang Palace, which further expanded the scale of Xianyang City. And let the Weishui flow between the palace groups, and the palaces are connected by the double road and the Yong Road, leaving the palace annex, pavilions and pavilions, and continuously pressing more than 300 miles. But at the end of Qin, Xiang Yu led his army into the pass and burned down the Qin palace, so that the Xianyang Qin palace was razed to ruins.

Although it is not a long time to come to this time and space, the plateau has already reached Linzi and Daliang, and now it has reached Xianyang, and the three super cities of this era have already traveled all over.

Although it is still outside the city and you can't see the scene inside the city, you can hardly see the edge of the city wall from the left and right, and the towering towers and the soldiers who defend the city on the city wall can still show the scale and majesty of the city.

At this time, Meng Qi returned to the front of the team and said to Meng Ling: "Miss, everything has been done, let's go into the city." ”

Meng Ling nodded and said, "Okay, enter the city." ”

Although there was no obstacle for them to enter the city, the Qin army that accompanied them to protect them could not enter the city at will, even if it was Mengwu, so this group of soldiers could only be stationed in the city and wait for Mengwu's orders.

The wheels rolled, and the plateau followed the Meng family's general, passed through the thick city wall, and entered the city of Xianyang.
