"Her abilities are far beyond what we can imagine, and the Queen Mother of the West is an ordinary person who can negotiate with her. In the past, if people wanted to seek help from God, they probably needed the Queen Mother of the West to spread rumors. Therefore, King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty named her Queen Mother of the West as a blessing from God."

The snow fell silently and reached their ankles.

Wei Liao contemplated Zi Ying's words, his brows furrowed into high hills, trying to find similar events in his memory, but he didn't know whether he wanted to agree or refute.

There is no shortage of coincidences in the world, and some of them are just coincidences. It doesn't matter if a very small number of things are attributed to the unknown.

But...if this thing is controlled by "people", it will be a big deal, many times bigger than the death of the country, the death of the king, the collapse of the mountains and the collapse of the sun and the moon...I don't know how many times bigger.

Perhaps everyone has longed for a god to help us out, and for a god to bring justice to the injustices in the world.

If God really comes and declares to the world that he really exists.

Everyone's first reaction is not admiration or worship, but fear... I would rather die together than let it disappear.

Among people, the God in their hearts is just a word that doesn't matter whether it exists or not.

"If that 'god' really wants to destroy Qin, does the King of Qin have any countermeasures..."

Wei Liao's tone was trembling, and his old face was trembling involuntarily. This matter was not only worrying about Ziying, but also worrying about the people of the world.

"Countermeasures?" Ziying shook his head and sneered, "Wei Zhe thought he was acting on behalf of heaven, so he troubled Mr. Wei Liao to ask Huang Shigong so that he could be the Queen Mother of the West."

Wei Liao nodded heavily, "This matter is of great importance. If you need anything, you can tell me. I can ask the hermits in the world for help. Don't just sit back and wait for death!"

Ziying reached out to catch the snow, then crushed it and melted it.

"No need to trouble the hermit, Master Lingfen has told me before." Ziying sighed, and then asked, "In the past, the art of curses was prevalent before the people's wisdom, perhaps it was the means of those strange people to interfere with the world. Nowadays, the art of curses seems to be empty talk,

It must be that the strange man doesn't want the world to discover his traces. Mr. Wei Liao, does he know how to find his traces in the future?"

"This..." Wei Liao vigorously stroked his beard and thought, "I am afraid that in times of trouble, strange things will not be easily noticed by others."

Ziying nodded, "In troubled times, there are many rumors, which is also the best time to adulterate the truth with falsehoods."

Wei Liao seemed puzzled, "The world has been in chaos for three years. Is there ever a time when it will be more chaotic than now?"

"Of course there is. It was not three years, but more than three hundred years, called the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties." Ziying explained.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the world was in turmoil, and books about strange things became popular. Ziying originally scorned such books, but if you think about it carefully, in ancient times, Wei, Jin, Ming and Qing, the stories about strange things were different in each period.

Although it may be due to the different national conditions in each period and the different long-cherished wishes expressed by the authors of "Zhiguai". However, without exception, they are inextricably linked with historical books.

In addition, there were many strange things happening when I was there, and those strange things were more similar to those of the Ming and Qing dynasties. I have to suspect that the so-called strange things were mixed with the truth.

"The country in later generations will also be named after Wei and Jin?" Wei Liao asked with a frown.

"It's more than that." Ziying said with a smile, "In the past, three families were divided into Jin, and later three parts of the world were divided into Jin. This 'Ming Ming' has a track record when it comes to doing things."

Wei Liao didn't understand and asked, "What is the trace that King Qin is looking for?"

"The cause of death of a famous general!" Ziying smiled back.

At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Eight Kings rebelled, and the country's power declined greatly, and it was eventually destroyed by the Huns. Later, the Jin people moved to the south, and Situ Wenxian's nephew, Situ Wenxian of the Wen family in Taiyuan, Wenqiao, the right Sima of Sikong Prefecture, went south to the east of the Yangtze River to support Sima Rui as the emperor.

Eastern Jin Dynasty

Emperor Yuan later Wen Qiao pacified Wang Dun and Su Jun's rebellion, and became famous. The court wanted Wen Qiao to assist the government, but Wen Qiao had no intention of doing so, so he returned to Jiangzhou. And that strange thing... happened in Guijiang

On the way to the state, this was also the cause of his death."

Wen Qiao burned the rhinoceros and died by shining in the water.

Volume 67 of "Book of Jin": When they arrived at Niuzhuji, the depth of the water was unfathomable. It was said that there were many monsters under it, so Qiao destroyed the rhinoceros horns and shined a light on them. After a while, he saw water tribes covered with fire, with strange shapes, or people riding carriages wearing red clothes. Qiao Qiao had a dream at night and someone said to him: "I said goodbye to you Ming. What do you mean by taking a photo of me?" The meaning was very evil. Qiao had tooth disease first and had to pull it out. He died of a stroke not ten days after arriving in town. Year forty-two.

After Ziying finished speaking, Wei Liao pondered again.

"The cause of Wen Qiao's death was a stroke. It seems to have nothing to do with the thing in the water." Wei Liao stroked his beard and said.

"I have also thought this way, but there are also things in the water among the strange things of the First Emperor." Ziying looked solemn, "I would rather believe that it exists than that it does not exist. I will burn a rhinoceros today to ask for ghosts and gods to support my dreams."

"But the King of Qin is not afraid of Wen Qiao's burning rhino shining in the water and dying..."

"I have to give it a try anyway. At this time, the 'ghosts' and gods in the water can still be seen, right?" Ziying swept the white snow off her clothes, "Does Mr. Wei Liao have any advice on the water?"

"Since the King of Qin insists on this, let's go to the Weishui River. Lu Shang once fished on the Weishui River, and he helped one week to destroy the Zhou Dynasty. This water is perfect."

"That's what I said!"

...

"This wine... has a really strong staying power."

Chen Ping's drunken eyes were hazy and his cheeks were red. He put down the wine cup and leaned on his knees to look outside the house. "The snow this year is very rich. Marquis Mingfei actually said that the grain in Daqin was not abundant. I really don't know why he said this. It seems that the little girl's You cannot trust your words, the king still needs you and me as advisors."

"It is indeed not what Marquis Mingfei said. It is not a disaster year for the Qin Dynasty, but a disaster year for several countries." Zhang Liang smiled bitterly.

"Several countries?!" Chen Ping opened his eyes slightly when he was drunk. He was half awake from the wine, but his head was still groggy.

"Exactly." Zhang Liang nodded, "The two qi of yin and yang circulate. Last year, the cold became more and more intense. The fields of Han Di were already in ruins. The grains were not ripe and the weeds were overgrown. The monarchs of various countries were trapped in war for a long time and did not notice it. Today The same is true at this time of year, and the cold will be extremely cold next year. At this time, Qin, Henan, the remaining Zhao, Qi, and Yan, as well as Zhao and Wei occupied by the Xiongnu, will starve to death all over the land, and even... change their sons to eat."

Chen Ping was frightened for a long time, then put his forehead in thought, "The Book of Rites says: 'When summer goes to winter, hail will damage the valleys, roads will be impassable, and violent soldiers will come. When spring goes, the grain will ripen late, and the country will be full of rain. It's famine. When the autumn order is issued, the vegetation will fall off, the fruits will grow early, and the people will suffer from the epidemic.'...Sir, what do you mean, but the spring order will be issued during the summer?!"

Zhang Liang looked solemn and nodded slowly.

"This is troublesome..." Chen Ping bared his teeth and gasped, "Wei Wangbao also destroyed nearly half of the grain."

"It is indeed troublesome. Your Majesty has conquered the land of Bashu and worked hard to alleviate the danger in the pass. But now troubles have arisen. Everything may have to be tied to the Marquis of Dongling. If there is a magic method, we can get through this pass safely. Otherwise... the people of Bashu will definitely be dissatisfied with the king's wanton adjustment of grain, and if Mr. Lu incites it at that time, the king's hard work may be ruined."

The two of them were silent, neither saying anything about Chen Ping "deceiving" the Xiongnu.

The unripe grains and lush weeds will attract the Huns to march southward. At that time, no country may have the strength to fight against them.

Then it is not the difficulty of Qin Dynasty, but the difficulty of Jiuzhou.

"Mr. Zifang..." Chen Ping said sheepishly, "If there is a disaster in the north, how can the weather in the south be good? This time when we enter the Hengshan Kingdom, Wu Rui seems to have said that we can cultivate extensively to help the Qin Dynasty. If so, The kingdoms in the north are declining and growing, and the Qin Dynasty will surely become the strongest again. Your Majesty only needs to defeat the Xiongnu to unify the north."

"The south is fine."

"Very good! Qin and Wei have been at war for hundreds of years. They are very familiar with the terrain of Wei. Madam Hu also knows the habits of the Xiongnu. After one year of age, it is not a bad idea to capture Wei!" Chen Pingping looked happy.

"Doctor Chen thinks the countries are too simple." Zhang Liang shook his head, "Han Xin of Henan is an old minister of Xiang Yu, and he was also expelled. Now there is no king in Jiujiang. If Han Xin joins Xiang Yu, he will gain something.

Why should we abandon the land of Jiujiang and seek distant places to win over Yingbu?"

"What do you mean, Mr. Zifang?"

"Han Xin and his adviser Kuai Tong have always been thinking about Qin. Henan and Linjiang are both around Da Qin. This is the reason for this method. In addition... Kuai Tong seems to also know about the disaster in the north, so he will

Choose Yingbu from the south, otherwise Chenyu from the north would be a better choice."

Zhang Liang gently twisted the black chess piece at the corner, "Although the Yan State is not weak, it is located in the far north, where the disaster should be the most severe. With Zang Tu's behavior, he may first surrender to a powerful country without fighting, and then

When the time comes, he will rebel. Now it seems that Zang Tu will defect to the Xiongnu and become the enemy of Qin.

Qi is also the country with the most internal chaos. It is Tian Heng and Tian Guang who are the masters, but Xiangzhuang is also behind it, and Fu Cu has done some tricks in it. Even if there is a disaster in the grain, Chu will help. None of these three parties can

I will make good friends with Da Qin."

Chen Ping couldn't help but nod. The world was like a chess game. He could only see two or three moves, but Zhang Liang seemed to see the final result of each move.

"There is still Chen Yu caught in the middle. I wonder how he will choose?" Chen Ping asked respectfully.

"The Lord of Chengdu is in the Qin Dynasty, and Chen Yu must have his heart towards the Qin Dynasty." Zhang Liang said, and suddenly sighed, "But his choice is not a big deal. If the Xiongnu advances eastward, he must attack Chen Yu; when Zang Tu goes south, so does Chen Yu.

His primary target of attack was outside Hangu Pass. Chen Yu was trying to save Qin, but Chu could not spare him. Han Xin was recruiting troops and would not intervene or help."

"It just so happens that at this time, the king is unable to save us, so he can only let the only ally in the north be destroyed." Chen Ping sighed in agreement, "There is only one country in the south, Hengshan, to help, but it is always better than nothing."

Zhang Liang seemed to have thought of something, and frowned, "The situation in the south is even more chaotic than in the north. Regardless of Yingbu's uncertain intentions, those who want to seize Jiujiang without a king are not just Mei Rong, the Lu family, and Fu Chu. Although Wu Rui is safe,

But Linxi

There are many Yi countries in the south, including Qiongdu, Baima, Qielan, Toulan, Yelang... If there is one person who can contact these countries and then make good relations with South Vietnam and Dian, when Wu Rui helps the Qin Dynasty in the foreign war, Hengshan may not be able to

Save."

"Although the barbarian country is small, it is not a country that is willing to surrender easily, let alone unite. Why did you say this?" Chen Ping couldn't figure it out.

"That day, I and Commander Ji Han met a man named Xu Wu. This man showed his unruly attitude. He would definitely not touch Wu Rui, who even Ying Bu was afraid of. If he rebels against Hengshan, this is the only way to go.

"Zhang Liang explained, "There are also two people from the Zu family in the southeast. Will they occupy Jiujiang with Mei Yi and die? I'm afraid it will be another mess."

Chen Ping stretched out his hand and scratched his hair randomly, "I feel upset just thinking about it. Your Majesty thought that the matter of killing King Bao of Wei was settled. After all, the road to regaining Qin was too difficult."

The two sighed in unison and were silent for a long time.

Chen Ping raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Liang, "The king often said that Mr. Zifang is good at making big plans. Although the overall situation is difficult, Mr. Zifang must have a long-term plan to restore Qin, right?"

"The relations between the various countries are complicated. Except for the Chu State, there is no great disparity in strength. Those who act rashly will be tabooed by the world. I have no deep plans, so I can only stop them with silence. I have a saying: I don't fight, so no one in the world can compete with me.

battle'."

"Waiting for the situation instead of building momentum?" Chen Ping frowned.

"Don't worry, after the one-year-old famine, there will be great changes. Let the king rest assured and repair the one-year-old..."

...

With the sound of horses' hooves and wooden wheels crunching against the thick snow, Ziying, Wei Liao, and Han Tan led hundreds of soldiers to the north, finally arriving at the place where Lu Shang was fishing.

Jingshui is clear and Weishui is turbid, hence the saying that Jingshui and Weishui are distinct. The "stigma" of Weishui has been passed down forever, just like the bad reputation of the Qin Dynasty.

The ice is covered with a thick layer of snow, and it is completely white at the moment, with no clear or turbid color at all.
