Chapter 76 Yueyang Yujin
Qin State, Yueyang City, Qin State Palace.
In the main hall, Qin Gong Yingshi Xi was discussing political affairs with the senior official Qian Long, when suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly appeared outside the palace door.
"Father, father-in-law..."
A few breaths later, a young figure appeared in front of Ying Shixi with a loud shout.
Turning his gaze to his eldest son Ying Qian, who was standing in front of him, Ying Shixi couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart when he saw the anxious look on his face.
"Qian'er, what happened?"
Running all the way to the main hall, even though Ying Qian had been practicing martial arts diligently in the past, he was still a little overwhelmed at the moment.
Facing the question asked by Ying Shixi, Ying Qian tried to calm his beating heart and replied in a deep voice with a rough tone: "Master Qi, not long ago, a meteorite fell on
Outside Yueyang City."
"What!"
Upon hearing the news that Ying Qian said, the two people in the hall were shocked, and Ying Shixi above him stood up directly from his throne.
It’s no wonder that Ying Shixi and Qianlong were so surprised. It’s because in this era all visions are often taken very seriously, and their impact is even more difficult to estimate.
The shock lasted for a moment, and then Qianlong stepped forward and asked Ying Qian in a deep voice: "Eldest Young Master, are you serious about what you said?"
"Seriously." Turning and looking back at Qianlong, Ying Qian reported to Master Ying Xi: "After receiving the news, Quliang and I immediately led the soldiers to check."
"After seeing the meteor falling from the sky with my own eyes, Quliang immediately asked me to come back and report the incident to my father-in-law."
Ying Qian's report had already confirmed the authenticity of this matter. Ying Shixi immediately walked past the cases in front of him and gave an order towards the outside of the hall.
"Come here, prepare your horses!"
…
"Drive... drive... drive..."
The sound of rushing horses echoed constantly on the road outside Liyang City. After a gallop, Ying Shixi led Qianlong, Ying Qian and a group of elite Qin troops to their destination.
When the horse gradually stopped, Ying Shifei jumped off the horse and looked forward.
Not far away, I saw a group of Qin troops holding long halberds on tight guard. In addition to the soldiers, there were also a large number of Qin people gathered here.
After learning from others that there was a meteor falling from the sky in front of them, these Qin people were all in awe, and some even knelt down directly facing forward.
"You're coming up!"
With the arrival of Ying Shixi and his entourage, these Qin people almost unanimously turned their attention to them.
Soon a path opened up in the crowd, and a young man with a dignified appearance and a heroic air walked towards Ying Shixi and his party.
"I've met my father-in-law." Arriving in front of Ying Shixi, Qin's young master Ying Quliang immediately bowed and bowed.
Looking at Ying Quliang standing in front of him, Ying Shixi helped him up and nodded gently, "Quliang, how are you?"
"Sir, I have confirmed it again and again. It is indeed a meteor that fell from the sky." After hearing Ying Shixi's inquiry, Ying Quliang responded in a deep voice.
After confirming the authenticity of the matter from Ying Quliang's mouth, Ying Shixi immediately walked forward.
"Let's go over and have a look."
After a while, Ying Shixi finally arrived at the place where the meteorite fell, after passing through the road cleared by the surrounding Qin people and passing the group of Qin soldiers on guard.
Looking down, a large crater appeared in front of Ying Shixi, and in the crater was a slightly mottled meteorite lying quietly.
Looking carefully at the meteorite in front of me, the somewhat mottled surface is now glowing with metallic luster.
Gradually, Ying Shixi's originally calm face suddenly showed a bit of solemnity, and he walked step by step into the big pit.
He lowered his body, touched the meteorite with his hands, and felt the warmth coming from above. At this moment, Ying Shixi's face was full of excitement.
He almost used up all his strength to lift the meteor, and heard Ying Shixi shouting towards the sky.
"God bestows auspiciousness and God bless Qin!"
At this moment, a thought suddenly came to Ying Shixi's mind. He believed that this was what God was signaling to him and to Qin.
Perhaps, the opportunity for Qin to regain Hexi is coming soon.
…
Just when the people of Qin in Yueyang regarded the meteor that fell from the sky as a blessing from heaven and rejoiced for it, the Western Zhou Dynasty, hundreds of miles away from Qin, was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
When it comes to the Western Zhou Dynasty, we have to start talking about it more than seventy years ago.
After the death of King Zhou Ding, his eldest son Ji Quji succeeded to the throne as King Ai of Zhou.
It was only three months after King Ai of Zhou inherited the throne that he was killed by his second brother Uncle Ji before he could even sit on the throne.
Of course, Uncle Ji did not have the last laugh. Five months after seizing the throne, he was killed by his third brother Ji Wei.
After some turmoil within the Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou Ding's third son finally secured the throne. This was King Zhou Kao.
After King Zhou Kao succeeded to the throne, he was worried that his fourth brother Ji Jie would imitate him and his second brother in rebelliousness.
So he was simply sealed to the land of Henan, inheriting the official position of Duke of Zhou, and the Duke of Western Zhou was established.
More than seventy years have passed since the first generation of Duke Ji of Western Zhou Dynasty was exposed, and the third generation of Duke Ji Zao of Western Zhou Dynasty who is now in power has also reached the end of his life.
Looking at the gradually dimming vision, Ji Zao slowly raised his right hand, wanting to seize the last moment.
It's just that people's lives are never controlled by themselves. Although he felt unwilling to do so, Ji Zao's right arm still hung down feebly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
At this moment, countless painful wails resounded throughout the hall, and a sad atmosphere gradually filled the place.
His eyes lightly swept over the sad faces around him, but a middle-aged man's footsteps slowly came to a young man in front of everyone.
This young man was none other than Ji Chao, the eldest son of the Duke of Western Zhou who had just passed away.
"Young Master, Young Master..."
The middle-aged man's call temporarily pulled Ji Chao out of his pain. He slowly raised his head and turned his gaze towards the other party.
"I wonder what's wrong, sir?"
Upon hearing Ji Chao's inquiry, the middle-aged man did not say any words. He just made some gestures with his eyes and left.
Although Ji Chao was a little confused about the middle-aged man's behavior, thinking of his teacher-student relationship with him, he immediately followed his lead.
After following the other party's footsteps and stopping at a deserted place, Ji Chao once again asked the middle-aged man in a deep voice: "What's the matter, sir?"
"Don't you know, Young Master, that you are about to be in disaster?" After looking around and confirming that there was no one else, the middle-aged man said coldly.
"What!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Ji Chao was immediately shocked. But when he recovered from the shock, a name suddenly appeared in his mind.
With a somewhat ugly expression, I heard Mr. Ji Chao say in a low voice: "Sir, are you talking about my younger brother, Mr. Gen?"
