During the day, Mu Mu always followed Zheng Yuming on horseback, and at night he slept with Daniel in Zheng Yuming's room or tent, and usually squatted next to Zheng Yuming when eating.Now that the wood suddenly disappeared, Zheng Yuming's heart suddenly became tense.

"Where's the wood?" Zheng Yuming stood up, looking around.

The place of the night camp was empty, and there were bushes and bushes not far away, where there were carnivorous beasts, and there were not only wild beasts but also packs of wolves around the place.If Mu Mu ran out of the camp alone, he would not have any good results when he encountered hungry and cruel beasts and wolves.

"Hey, he was still gnawing bones just now!" Daniel also got up and looked around.

The sight at night was not good, the shadows around Zheng Yuming's camp could not be seen clearly, and there was no sign of the wood, so Zheng Yuming could only call out for the wood, but Zheng Yuming did not call out the wood, but attracted Zhao Xuan instead.

"Brother Yu! What happened?"

"I don't know where Mu Mu went." Zheng Yuming's forehead began to sweat. To him, Mu Mu was not just a wolf dog, but already a relative.

"Brother Yu, don't worry! Brother, I will send Huben to search around, and I will definitely find the wood." Zhao Xuan knew that Zheng Yuming cared about the brown wolf dog very much.

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your help! I'll go myself!" Zheng Yuming didn't want to wait in the camp.

Just when Zheng Yuming led people to set off to find the log, Daniel pointed behind Zheng Yuming and laughed: "My lord! The log is back, right behind your lord."

Zheng Yuming lowered his head and found that Mu Mu was squatting at his feet wagging his tail.

"This was a false alarm. Since it is Brother Yu's god dog, how could it be so easy to lose it." Zhao Xuan made fun of Zheng Yuming's anxiety just now.

"This dog was raised by Yu Ming since he was a child. If he loses it, it will be the same as Yu Ming losing his family." Zheng Yuming touched the wooden dog's head.

"Brother Yu is too affectionate." Zhao Xuan sighed slightly, Zheng Yuming cared so much about a raised dog, no wonder he was tightly controlled by Chu Chaohui.

Wood reappeared as if very hungry, and ate up a large piece of venison that Zheng Yuming threw to it.Daniel was amazed at the side, and said with a smile that the food intake of wood had doubled.

Hearing what Daniu said, Zheng Yuming felt that there was something weird about Mu Mu, so he began to pay attention to Mu Mu.

Mu Mu was fine that night, squatting beside Zheng Yuming after eating the venison, Zheng Yuming went back to the tent to rest, Mu Mu and Daniu still slept in front of Zheng Yuming's bed.

The next morning, Zheng Yuming woke up and found that there was no wooden shadow beside Daniel.With the experience of last night, Zheng Yuming didn't panic, and walked out of the tent to wash up before going around the camp.After two moments, Wood ran back from the bushes in the distance, looking back from time to time while running.Zheng Yuming looked in the direction of the wood, and saw the grass not far away shaking, as if there were animals moving there.

"Wu Mu, who did you go over there to find?" Zheng Yuming touched Mu Mu who was rushing towards him. Mu Mu probably felt that his actions were exposed, so he jumped on his master and acted like a baby.

At breakfast that day, Zheng Yuming found that Mu Mu didn't eat the food from his dog's bowl, but ran out of the camp with the food in his mouth, to the grass where he stayed yesterday.After getting into the grass for a few minutes, Mu Mu slipped back to Zheng Yuming's side, staring longingly at the bread in Zheng Yuming's hand.

"Mu Mu, are you looking for a dog girl or a wolf woman?" Zheng Yuming laughed, and fed the meat-stuffed bread in his hand to Mu Mu.

It has been eight years since the wood came to this time and space, no matter how slow the growth is, it should be in estrus.Zheng Yuming guessed that there was a female dog in the grass, which was taken by Mu Mu, and Mu Mu was picking up girls with food.

Wood, whose IQ has been boosted by the blue light, still can't understand human language. Apart from wagging its tail at its master, it just rolls around and acts like a baby in front of its master.Zheng Yuming could feel the excitement from the wooden movement.

In the next few days, as long as Mumu ate something, he would take a portion and send it to the nearby grass or woods.The female dog that had been following their team never showed up, and when the mission team arrived at the bank of the big river to cross the river, Zheng Yuming never saw the object of Wood's pursuit.

Dahe is similar to the Yellow River in the 21st century.At this time, the population density was not too high, and the vegetation in various places was not severely damaged. The trees on both sides of the big river were lush and green, and the river water was very clear.

Staring at the clear water of the river, Zheng Yuming secretly made up his mind that he must admonish future generations to pay attention to maintaining water and soil, and prevent the Yellow River from appearing again in this time and space.

Zheng Yuming was thinking about water and soil issues, but Zhao Xuan had great ambitions for the rushing river.Along the way, the great and fertile land was abandoned due to the careless management of the princes, and Zhao Xuan's ambition to replace it became stronger and stronger.

There are three large ships and two small wooden boats waiting at the pier at the ferry.The flag of Wu Guolong is hung on the mast of the sail of the big ship.

The big ferry boat came from the state of Wu, and it could carry more than 200 people at a time.

As early as half a month ago, the big ship had already docked at the ferry, waiting for the arrival of the Wu mission.The two small wooden boats are local ferries, which can only take a dozen people.Chu Chaohui was afraid that the small wooden boats would be dangerous to cross the river, so Zheng Yuming was sent as an envoy to Zhao, and the three wooden boats were ordered to sail from Tang to Haojing.

"Brother Wang, please board the boat!" Zheng Yuming invited Zhao Xuan politely.

"Brother Yu, please!" Zhao Xuan stared at the big ship of Wu State carefully, thinking to himself that in the future, Zhao State must also be able to build a big ship, and when the big ship is built, he will first destroy the subjugated son Shi who is staying on the border of Chu.

There are more than 3000 people in the missions of the two countries, and the three wooden boats have to go back and forth more than a dozen times to ferry all the people and horses.For the sake of safety, the big wooden boat crossed first, and a thousand guards stood guard on the other side, and then began to ferry the mission personnel.

The wooden boat that Zheng Yuming and Zhao Xuan were on sailed to the middle of the big river, when Mu Mu suddenly jumped to the stern of the boat and howled at the bank. In response, the voice sounded like a wolf and a tiger, very strange.

Zheng Yuming squinted his eyes for a long time but couldn't see what it looked like.

It took one day for the missions of Zhao and Wu countries and the caravan of Wei Merchant to cross the river. There is still half a day’s journey from Dahe to Haojing. Set up camp next to the village near Dahe Ferry.

In the early morning of the next day, all members of the mission had dinner, put on loose gowns, hoisted the flag of honor, and marched to Haojing in a neat line.

Hao Jing got the news as early as when the Zhao Wu mission crossed the river.The etiquette officer responsible for welcoming the princes was waiting at the city gate early.

Although the emperor of Qin was in decline, Haojing had been the emperor's capital for hundreds of years, and the city construction specifications were unmatched by princes and kings.The city wall is quite tall and majestic, the moat is very wide and deep, and the river is clear. There are many women washing clothes beside the moat.

The city construction specification is made by the Son of Heaven. The city tower is nine stories high. The city gate is made of giant wood that is hundreds of years old. The exterior is covered with brass. Under the sunlight, it glows golden and is very luxurious.

Under the guidance of the etiquette officer, Zhao Xuan and Zheng Yuming led the missionary personnel into the city gate. Only 200 guards from the two countries followed into the city, and the rest were stationed outside the city of Haojing.

The Zhao and Wu missions arrived at Haojing on May [-]th. Before them, forty to fifty princely states had arrived. These princely states were all small and medium-sized countries. Zhao State and Wu State were the first two princes to arrive. strong country.

When Zhao Xuan and Zheng Yuming entered the city, the princes and kings who arrived first followed the etiquette officer to the city gate to greet them. The etiquette officer introduced them to each other. There were too many monarchs, big and small, and Zheng Yuming was a little dazzled.

Regardless of whether it is a strong country or a small country, the monarchs and lords are generally dressed in black, and at a glance, it is dark.This kind of situation did not exist 200 years ago. At that time, no princes and monarchs dared to openly black.Now as long as you have a royal status, you can use black, and you can use honor color casually, which shows that the majesty of Qin Tianzi no longer exists.

"Officer Yi, please guide us to worship the Emperor of Heaven!" According to the rules, when you arrive in Gaojing, you should go to worship Emperor Qin first.

Zheng Yuming's reasonable request made the Yiguan's face twitch twice: "Master Ming and Mr. Zhao have had a hard journey, please go to the hotel to rest today! Rest for a few days before going to meet Tianjun."

The hotel mentioned by etiquette officials is the residence of VIPs.

Zheng Yuming was slightly taken aback, and Zhao Xuan also showed surprise.

"In that case, let's go to the hotel to rest first." Zheng Yuming felt that there must be a reason behind the etiquette officer's refusal.

As soon as the Wu Mission put away their things in the hotel, Zhao Xuan came from the next door guest house with Wu Xian.

"Brother Yu, it's still early today, how about you and I traveling together in Gaojing?"

"Yu Ming has this intention." Zheng Yuming is very interested in the city of Haojing.

Gongsun Pan had already returned home to visit relatives, Wu Mu was going to rest when he was old, Zheng Yuming only brought a dozen guards including Daniu, Mu, Mao Boss, etc. to go out with Zhao Xuanjun and his ministers.Zhao Xuan only brought a dozen elite soldiers to protect him.

Zhao Xuan and Zheng Yuming rode in the same carriage, and the speed of the carriage was not fast on the street, which was convenient for the two of them to watch the street scene on both sides.Daniel sat on the shaft of the chariot, Mu Mu crouched at Zheng Yuming's feet, and Wu Mian followed the carriage on foot with his guards.

Recently, many monarchs have come to Haojing. The monarchs are laymen, and the rides are very luxurious, and the people in the city are used to it.Zhao Xuan and Zheng Yuming's luxurious carriage did not attract people's attention, but their appearance did.

Most of the people around Haojing are descendants of princes and nobles. Because of genetic and dietary factors, the height of the people in Tianzidu is higher than that of other places. Most of the men are over 170 cm, but 180 cm is still rare.

Both Zhao Xuan and Zheng Yuming are 180 tall, slender, with handsome features and outstanding temperament, which quickly attracted the attention of passers-by.Everyone in the world loves to see beauties, even after thousands of years of evolution.At this time, due to limited transportation, people could not travel long distances, so they had little experience and few beautiful people. Now they can see two very outstanding nobles. The people of Haojing are still surprised even if they are the sons of the emperor. Curious, many people followed the carriage all the time in order to have a better look. Soon, hundreds of people followed behind the carriage.

Zheng Yuming looked at the back of the carriage, feeling very helpless. In the 21st century, his appearance was most often called a 'handsome guy', and no one would obsessively follow him.

Zheng Yuming looked helpless, but Zhao Xuan was very happy, because the words 'Biren' and 'Jialang' were heard from the crowd from time to time, obviously they were looking at them as a couple.

"Brother Ming, the sacrificial altar is in front of us!" Zhao Xuan followed his father to participate in the pilgrimage more than ten years ago, so he is a little familiar with Hao Jing.

"The sacrificial altar is really high!" Zheng Yuming looked up and saw that the altar of the Son of Heaven was one-third higher than that of King Wu, and there was a big tripod on the altar.

"Is this the Jiuding?" Zheng Yuming counted the number of tripods, there are nine in total.Only five-legged tripods can be used for sacrifices to princes and monarchs.

The Great Qin divided the world into Kyushu, one tripod foot represents one state, and the nine tripods represent the world. When offering sacrifices every year, the emperor must first perform the nine tripod ceremony.

"That's right! This is Jiuding!" Zhao Xuan stared at Jiuding with fiery eyes.

Zheng Yuming turned his head to catch a glimpse of Zhao Xuan's expression, secretly surprised at Zhao Xuan's ambition.Zheng Yuming knew that Zhao Xuan had ambitions, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xuan's ambitions were so great that he could win the world.

After the carriage passed the sacrificial altar, Zhao Xuan's eyes returned to normal, pointing at the buildings on both sides of the road and chatting happily with Zheng Yuming.

"Hey, why are there so many people around that house?" Daniel sat on the shaft of the car and stretched his neck to look at a place.

The place where Daniu looked was very high, and there was a courtyard on the high ground. The gate of the courtyard was closed tightly, and the courtyard was surrounded by people.

"Why is Merchant Wei there?" Zheng Yuming had good eyesight, and at a glance, he saw that Merchant Wei, who had come with the mission, was standing in the crowd, waving his hands, and talking in his mouth. "Daniu, go and call Wei Dong's family."

"No!" Daniel supported the pole with one hand, jumped to the ground with his strength, and strode towards the crowd.

Not long after, the red-faced shopkeeper Wei followed Daniu, wiping his sweat.

"Why is Dong Wei's family here?" Zheng Yuming asked curiously.

After saluting with Zheng Yuming and Zhao Xuan, Wei Merchant said angrily, "My lord, the Heavenly Lord owes us money, and he hides in the courtyard on the high platform and refuses to see the creditor."

When Zhao Xuan heard this, he laughed loudly: "Nonsense, how could Tianjun owe money."

The shopkeeper Wei made a bow to Zhao Xuan: "What the villain said is absolutely true. At the end of last year, Tianjun owed the villain currency, and promised to repay it in May this year. Now that the date has come, Tianjun has avoided seeing it. "

"All the people around here are creditors?" Zhao Xuan pointed at the crowd near the courtyard gate in surprise.

"That's right, they are all creditors of Tianjun. The villain is not the biggest creditor! Tianjun has been blocked by us for an hour." Wei shopkeeper spoke angrily.

Zheng Yuming opened his mouth wide and compared the yard with his hands. "Is this the high debt?"

In the 21st century, there is an allusion of high debts. It is said that King Nan of Zhou owed a lot of debts and was unable to repay, so he was forced to hide on a platform by his creditors.Zheng Yuming did not expect that the Emperor of Qin would also interpret this story in front of him.

"The debt is so high, this description is too appropriate!" Zhao Xuan clapped his hands.

Zheng Yuming wanted to laugh but couldn't, so he held back his smile for a long time before he suppressed his smile and put on a sad expression on his face.

"Tianjun is so embarrassing, it's our servant's fault!" Zheng Yuming sighed, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, wiping away the tears that were suffocating from the corners of his eyes. "Wei Dong's family, how much does Tianjun owe you? How much money do you owe in total?"

Wei Merchant thought for a while, and based on what he knew, he made a rough calculation before reporting to Zheng Yuming: "Young Master, Tianjun owes the villain 30 gold, including other people, the total is about [-] gold."

Zheng Yuming patted his thigh lightly: "Oh, 30 gold is enough to force Tianjun to do this. Wei Dong's family, go and tell the besieging creditors that I will pay back all the debts of Tianjun."

"My lord, how can this be done!" The shopkeeper Wei waved his hands again and again: "I don't want this [-] gold."

"It's only natural to pay back the debt, and it's also natural for the minister to share the worries on behalf of the heavenly monarch. You go and talk about it!" Zheng Yuming insisted.

"No! The villain will go now!" The shopkeeper Wei had no choice but to notify the creditor at the gate of the courtyard.The shopkeeper Wei should have known that Zheng Yuming would help Qin Tianzi pay back the money, and he would never come to ask for the debt no matter what.

"Tianjun spends money on his own, why does brother Yu help him repay the debt?" Zhao Xuan lowered his voice and persuaded Zheng Yuming not to spend money.

"It's only natural for a subject to worship the Lord of Heaven. How can I feel at ease when the Lord of Heaven is in such distress!" Zheng Yuming's pilgrimage was originally to buy fame, and the money owed by Emperor Qin happened to be an opportunity.

Zhao Xuan stared at Zheng Yuming for a long time, thinking of Wu Guo's unconditional aid last year, he realized that Zheng Yuming was really a money-spreader.

The creditors near the courtyard gate couldn't help being overjoyed when they heard that someone helped Qin Tianzi repay the debt.Zheng Yuming didn't have 30 gold in cash with him, so he could only let the shopkeeper Wei find businessmen in Haojing who had business dealings with the state of Wu, borrow all the coins from them, and pay off the debts of Emperor Qin one by one.

On the second day after paying off the debt for Emperor Qin, Emperor Qin sent Huangmen to summon Zheng Yuming.
