My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1230: All the kings gathered in Xianyang City! Why is Qin so rich?

Gao Min smiled and shook his head when he heard this.

Along the way, Wei Zeng has used this set of rhetoric to tease many people.

They were all people who could afford horse-drawn carriages, and they all rode in one-horse carriages, which proved that they were of similar status. It was normal for them to chat with each other when they met on the road, but how many people in the world who could afford a horse-drawn carriage did not know the name of Wei Zeng?
Whenever Wei Zeng revealed his identity, most people around him would be so scared that they would flee in panic without even looking back.

Wei Zeng also had a playful smile on his face, waiting to see the carriage beside him flee in a hurry, trying to find some fun in the midst of suffering.

But Wei Zeng did not expect that the carriage next to him did not flee after hearing Wei Zeng's name, but instead rolled up the curtains, revealing a tall but thin and haggard body and a face with deep eye sockets and a blue complexion.

A jar of wine was thrown to Wei Zeng through the car window. The man in the car forced a smile and said, "I am not used to drinking Wei wine, and this Qin wine is a bit spicy. If Brother Wei has Chu wine in the car, please give me a jar."

This time, it was not the others who were scared away by Wei Zeng, but Wei Zeng who was surprised and said, "I never thought that it was the King of Chu in person!"

Unlike Han An, Wei Zeng, Zhao Qian and other kings, Xiong Fuchu resisted until he was defeated, and did not declare suicide until he was escorted back to Xianyang City. Wei Zeng could not help but have more respect for Xiong Fuchu.

Xiong Fuchu mocked himself and said: "King Fuchu of Chu has passed away, and the only one who is still alive in the world is Xiong Fuchu!"

Wei Zeng was slightly stunned and sighed in disappointment: "Even the King of Chu no longer insists!"

Xiong Fuchu suddenly became excited and shouted angrily: "I am not afraid of death!"

"I would rather die as the King of Chu!"

"Yes!" Xiong Fuchu sighed dejectedly as if his spine had been taken away: "There is no hope, there is no hope anymore."

"Look! Look at this billowing black smoke! Although the black smoke contains destruction, it is not the power to destroy itself, but the power to destroy the world!"

"How can I resist?!"

"Chu, how can we resist?!"

Wei Zeng turned his gaze to the rising black smoke again and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Xiong, do you know what is under this smoke?"

Xiong Fuchu nodded slightly and said in a desolate voice, "It's a blast furnace."

"But it is a blast furnace that is many times more sophisticated than those in our country."

"It's a blast furnace that can directly produce steel!"

Hearing this, the guards in charge of patrolling and intercepting couldn't help but become nervous.

Wei Zeng saw that the guards believed Xiong Fuchu's words, and Xiong Fuchu sneered, "Why are you panicking? Don't you want me to know that there is a blast furnace hidden here?"

"You have been transporting ore here by barge day and night, and steel materials have been transported to all directions by barge and Changan carriage day and night. You are even so extravagant that you spread the steel ingots directly on the ground, treating the fine steel as dust!"

"You guys are still trying to hide the truth about this place? Do you think that everyone in the world is a pig-headed and dog-brained person?!"

Wei Zeng's heart trembled violently, and he jumped off the carriage and ran forward in the direction indicated by Xiong Fuchu. Soon he saw strips of steel with a metallic luster spread on the ground.

Ignoring the guards' vigilant gazes, Wei Zeng squatted down and tapped with the back of his fingers, then his face turned pale: "Is it steel?"

"It's really steel!"

Wei Zeng raised his head and looked into the distance along the steel ingots under his feet, but he could not see the end of the ingots at all!

Wei Zeng cried out in shock and despair: "So many steel ingots are not used to make armor and weapons, but are just spread out on the ground?"

“The world is still the same world, and the people of the world are still the same people.”

"Grrrr!"

"How come Qin is so rich?"

Xiong Fuchu drove the carriage to Wei Zeng's side, then got off the carriage, stood quietly beside Wei Zeng, admiring Wei Zeng's collapsed appearance.

After a long time, Wei Zeng finally managed to calm down and said bitterly: "Wei understands why Brother Xiong no longer insists on it." "The steel ingots used in the elite armor of the Great Wei were thrown on the ground casually by the Qin State!"

"If we collect all these steel ingots on the ground, we will have enough to forge heavy armor and sharp blades for the Qin State to forge a million elite soldiers!"

"But they can only be thrown on the ground, thrown on the ground!"

"Such fine steel is being disposed of so carelessly. God knows how fine the steel used by Qin's soldiers is! God knows how many millions of sets of armor and weapons Qin has!"

"How can I fight against such a powerful enemy? Can Wei fight?!"

No matter how powerful a country is or how many armies are in uniform, they all seem so pale and powerless in front of these steel ingots thrown casually on the ground.

Wei Zeng knew very well that ten unarmored soldiers could not match one leather armored soldier, and five leather armored soldiers could not match one heavy armored soldier.

Wei Zeng didn't even need to know how sophisticated the steel ingots Qin used to forge armor for its soldiers were, because Wei Zeng knew very well that as long as Qin collected all the steel ingots scattered on the ground and forged them into armor and weapons, even if Wei had not yet perished and Qin and Wei fought again, Wei would surely suffer a disastrous defeat!
How is this played?
This is impossible to fight!

Eight years ago, Wei Zeng blamed everyone and everything on his fate, thinking that the demise of Wei was due to the fact that Qin pretended to attack Zhao but actually attacked Wei, and that Wei Zeng had fallen into Qin's trap.

But today Wei Zeng has to accept a fact.

The Wei Kingdom’s demise was not unjust!
Xiong Fuchu sneered, "Understand?"

"Brother Wei has no idea why I stopped insisting!"

"Brother Wei, do you dare to go to Xianyang City with me?"

Wei Zeng slowly stood up and said in a hoarse voice: "I am not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of going to Xianyang City!"

The sneer and self-mockery on Xiong Fuchu's lips became stronger: "Some things are more difficult to accept than death!"

Xiong Fuchu and Wei Zeng got on the same car and drove quickly along the Xianlan Avenue. They arrived at the south bank of the Weishui River in the evening.

Wei Zeng originally thought that he needed to cross the Wei River to reach Xianyang City, but when the carriage turned around a hillside, a building about three meters high and black and gray in appearance suddenly caught Wei Zeng's eye.

Wei Zeng sneered and said, "King Zheng of Qin actually built a corner tower on the south bank of the Weishui River?"

"Who is this corner tower guarding against?"

"Could it be Lord Chang'an?!"

"When Lord Chang'an led his army to attack and destroy our Great Wei, did he ever think that one day he would follow Lord Xinling's fate?!"

Xiong Fuchu's face was slightly red, but he took another sip of wine and sneered, "Brother Wei, don't worry, just keep watching."

Without being reminded by Xiong Fuchu, Wei Zeng always kept his eyes looking forward.

The carriage continued to move forward, and the hillside that blocked the view fell back a little, revealing another building that was also about three meters high and black and gray in appearance. Then came the third and fourth buildings, until they continued in a row!

The hillside slowly receded, just like the pole of a scroll slowly opening up, allowing the scenery to fall into Wei Zeng's sight one by one.

The smile on Wei Zeng's face froze, and his eyes widened unconsciously. He finally realized that these buildings were not corner towers at all, but a group of houses gathered in one place!

Wide, straight, cement-paved roads separate the houses from one another, making the entire city square and straight.

The further the scroll was stretched, the higher the house became, until it was more than fifty meters high.

Between the tall houses, a city wall about six feet high stood abruptly. But even with the wall blocking the way, Wei Zeng could still see over the wall the tiles and eaves that were several points higher than the wall!

Wei Zeng snorted and said sourly: "Now that the war has just ended, King Zheng of Qin has already built such a magnificent city."

"It's really hard for Qin Chang'an Jun to unify the world for Qin Wang Zheng when he was wasting so much money and manpower in the court!"
