In history, Qin Qing was a beautiful woman. On the night of her wedding, her husband was summoned to fight on the front line before entering the bridal chamber. She died heroically on the battlefield. She became a widow, known as Widow Qing, and the king named her a "virgin".
It is said that after Qin Qing's death, Qin Shihuang built a "Huaiqing Terrace" to commemorate her. Moreover, she was also the helmsman of the largest commercial empire in the Qin State and even the later Qin Dynasty. She funded the construction of the Great Wall. The mercury in Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum
, all the cinnabar is also made by her.
It can be seen that the history about her is true, because when he saw her pretty face that could be broken, Ji Jie was stunned for a long time!
"You're welcome!" Ji Jie said subconsciously.
Qin Qing's body moved slightly, and the guard quickly reached out to help her out of the carriage. The mahogany box was still held in his arms. Ji Jie thought that if he guessed correctly, the Suihou beads should be inside.
"In the panic just now, Qin Qing seemed to have heard the young master announcing his name as Ji Jie, right?" Qin Qing asked.
"Yes, my name is Ji Jie!" Ji Jie nodded.
Qin Qing smiled, saluted lightly and said: "It turns out that Qin Qing's savior is Zhaowenjun of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I have admired Zhaowenjun for a long time. Please accept Qinqing's respect!"
"No, no, no!" Ji Jie quickly reached out to help her, and when she touched Qin Qing's jade arm, she clearly felt her body shake.
This kind of behavior should be... only seen when being contacted by the opposite sex for the first time. It seems that what she did as a widow was really unfair, and her dead husband was even more unfair. He married such a beautiful wife and died without even having sex.
Got it!
Ji Jie let go of his hands sensibly, pretending to be dignified in his clothes, and said: "These bandits are really rampant. They dare to openly rob and kill people in our territory. As a direct descendant of the royal family, how can I just sit back and watch?"
Ignore it! By the way, how could they stop Madam's motorcade?"
Ji Jie chose the right time to let go. If she had just one more second, Qin Qing would have mistaken her for teasing on purpose. It was not easy for her to bear the title of "virgin girl" all day long. The king of Qin State more than once
I had an idea against her, but because I couldn't save my face, I angrily gave her the title of "Virgin Girl", which means that even I can't touch a woman, let alone others!
And Ji Jie is very smart. He knows what the things in the box are, but he pretends to be stupid here.
Qin Qing picked up the mahogany box and opened it. Lying quietly inside was a white bead as big as an egg. She sighed and said, "This is what caused the trouble. Zhao Wenjun must have heard of the Suihou Bead, right?"
"I've heard that it's a priceless treasure, and together with He's Bi, it's the second most easy-going treasure!" Ji Jie said calmly, but his eyes didn't look into the box at all.
The Suihou Pearl is different from any other gemstone in the world. Generally, the arrangement of diamond elements is in the equiaxed crystal system, but it is in the form of a hexagonal crystal. To say that the He's Bi is priceless, the Suihou Pearl is an out-of-this-world thing, worthy of its name.
Priceless treasure.
Qin Qing was very satisfied with his performance. He was able to draw a sword to help when there was an injustice, and he regarded treasures as dung. There were few such people in the world!
"Before Qin Qing obtained this object, I don't know how many people had died for it. Today, more than a dozen of my bodyguards also died because of it. It seems that not all treasures are auspicious objects! I have gone through all kinds of hardships to find them.
Obtaining this thing cost a lot of manpower and material resources. I originally wanted to dedicate it to my king. Since this thing is unknown, I think it is best to forget it, so as not to bring disaster to the Qin State!" Qin Qing's eyebrows were flowing, and she looked at Ji Jie sincerely.
Said: "Jun Zhaowen, I want to give it to you as a reward!"
What? If it hadn't been for the previous paragraph, Ji Jie would have accepted it happily. But since you know that this thing is unknown, why did you give it to me? Are you thanking me or hurting me?
"Zhaowen Jun, please don't think wrongly!" Qin Qing saw Ji Jie's expression changed and said quickly: "I mean, Your Majesty, you are an upright person, so you can naturally suppress the evil spirit of this thing. No one else deserves to own it except you!
"
It turned out to be like this. Ji Jie felt much better and waved his hand quickly and said: "No, no, madam also said, you spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find this, how can I accept it!"
"Zhao Wenjun's words are wrong. If you hadn't taken action, I'm afraid Qin Qing would have been dead on the spot, and Suihou Zhu was snatched away by Gu Feng and his gang of robbers!" Qin Qing said seriously: "So, please Zhao Wenjun
Be sure to accept it!”
Who doesn’t like the priceless treasures from the heavens?
Ji Jie could see that it would be hypocritical to refuse any more, so he had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
Qin Qing rejected Ji Jie's proposal to personally escort them. This place was only a few dozen miles away from the Qin State border. The bandits had already been defeated and they would probably not do it again. It only took half a day for them to enter the Qin State.
Reluctantly, he waved to Qin Qing who was sitting on the carriage. To be honest, Ji Jie had the idea of forcing her to stay more than once in his mind. Not to mention whether she was willing or not, what would happen even if she stayed?
It's just a small and unknown person, how can we guarantee her safety?
Now let's take a closer look at the Suihou Pearl. This thing is warm and moist to the touch. If you look closely, you can find the lines on the surface that are finer than a mosquito's feet. It is truly an extraordinary thing, unlike any other gemstone on earth.
Under normal circumstances, these peerless treasures contain certain secrets. Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, I couldn't find them, so I had to put them in my pocket and continue on my way.
While walking, a group of villagers came running towards us. Seeing that they were dressed as people from the Zhou Dynasty, they looked like they were fleeing. He quickly stopped one of them and asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
, looking so panicked?"
The farmer said out of breath: "The emperor has gathered the coalition forces of the six countries to start a war with Qin!"
"Ah?" Ji Jie was surprised and immediately recalled this period of history. There was such a thing in history. King Nan of Zhou united the six kingdoms to attack Qin. However, in the end, the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Yan failed to do so.
They sent troops to respond and declared miscarriage. Why are these Chinese people running away?
"It was because the plan was aborted that we escaped!" The farmer continued: "Although we failed to fight the Qin State, is the Qin State easy to mess with? I heard that their king was very angry and was preparing to send troops to attack the Zhou Dynasty.
! Little brother, I advise you to run away quickly. How can we be the opponent of Da Qin? When the city is broken, no chickens or dogs will be left behind!"
That's what happened.
According to historical records, King Nan of Zhou and Nan joined forces to attack Qin but failed. The new king of Qin won the victory and sent troops to attack Qin. The great Zhou Dynasty was immediately destroyed. The emperor also became a prisoner of others and died of sorrow and anger not long after.
"Is the Emperor still in the royal city?" This is the question Ji Jie is most concerned about. As long as the Emperor is still there, King Yu's Jiuding should still be there.
"Here you are!" The farmer's face was full of contempt and he said: "Three months ago, the emperor began to plan the attack on Qin. He borrowed a lot of money from his subjects and merchants, saying that he would wait until Qin Guolian was captured.
It was repaid with interest, but before the Qi and Chu armies arrived, the allied forces of Han, Zhao, and Wei robbed all the money and goods collected, and then dispersed them. Everyone was collecting debts from the emperor, and he did not dare to go out for several days!
"
Ji Jie smiled bitterly and thought to himself that this unlucky uncle of mine is really capable of mischief. Can you handle such a thing as joining forces to fight against Qin? To put it nicely, you are the Lord of China, but this title is only nominal.
Yes, who can sincerely do things for you?
The main reason why the princes did not destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty was that the Emperor of Zhou pursued the strategy of co-dominance of the world, recognized the hegemony of the princely states, and at the same time acquiesced in the fact that only the strong could rule China, so he was able to survive.
No matter which country wins a battle, the emperor will send envoys to congratulate them and give them a nominal title in exchange for offerings from others. To put it harshly, it is almost like a dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy.
In the late Warring States period, the power of the Seven Kingdoms grew stronger and stronger, and the jurisdiction of Emperor Zhou was further eroded. In addition, the Rong and Di tribes in the west were often harassed. The territory that was not vast at first was only a small area, and it was even less visible.
It's in my eyes.
Ji Jie walked quickly to the palace, which was empty. After asking around, he found out that the emperor had gone to a high platform to hide from debts, and the guards and maids also followed him.
No, everyone ran away. The treasury had been robbed long ago. He immediately rushed to the treasury!
"Oh, who is this blind?"
Ji Jie bumped into someone. The person who was hit sat on the ground, rubbed his butt and cursed. When he saw Ji Jie clearly, Ji Jie also recognized him. This person's name was Ji Jian, and the two of them
They are all relatives of the royal family. Like Ji Jie, Ji Jian is also a master who is not favored by the emperor, otherwise he would not be sent to take care of the treasury.
The emperor was a miser. He never put valuable things into the treasury, but into his own private treasury. The treasury was basically a storage place for all kinds of old things and garbage. King Yu's Jiuding was considered the most valuable thing. If they hadn't been
It has been passed down for thousands of years and has great symbolic significance. It was melted down and cast into copper coins by the emperor long ago.
"Ji Jie, are you back?"
"Ji Jian, why didn't you leave?"
The two asked questions at the same time, then laughed together and told each other their own affairs.
It turned out that the emperor wanted to take Ji Jian with him, but Ji Jian was unwilling. Anyway, it was well known to everyone that the treasury he managed had no valuables, so there was no need to worry that someone would come here to rob things, but he did not expect that the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei would
The soldiers rushed in, smashed them hard and had no way to vent. They each carried away a large cauldron, saying that they were keeping it for safekeeping until the emperor paid off the military expenses he owed them and when he returned.
If it weren't for the fact that the Wang Ding was so heavy, there probably wouldn't be a single one left.
Standing in front of the Wang Cauldron, Ji Jie marveled for the first time at the ancient people's ultimate attainments in art. Each of the six Wang Cauldrons is as tall as a person, with walls more than a foot thick, and the patterns on them are extremely exquisite. To use Ji Jian's words to describe it
At that time, more than 20 people surrounded Wang's cauldron and were stunned but could not lift it. The special fifth cauldron in the middle could not be lifted by thirty people!
The fifth cauldron was still there. Ji Jie felt slightly comforted and walked towards the fifth cauldron.
