Just when Xiao Han was quietly lost in thought, by the river, a soldier fetching water suddenly pointed at the Yellow River and shouted loudly.
Xiao Han was suddenly awakened by this man, and subconsciously looked where he was pointing! He saw a turtle the size of a washbasin bobbing up and down in the turbid river water ten meters away from the shore!
"It's just a turtle, what's all the fuss about?"
Squinting his eyes, Xiao Han muttered unhappily, in a natural environment like the Tang Dynasty, what's so strange about seeing a turtle?
"Huh? No, it seems to have writing on its back!"
Perhaps they were startled by the man's cry just now, more and more people gathered by the river. Among them were those with sharp eyes, and at a glance, they could see that there were strips of turtle on the turtle's shell.
The pattern is glowing with golden light!
"Huh? Is that a word?"
As soon as Xiao Han heard this, he immediately became energetic again, stood up on tiptoes and looked forward.
Coincidentally, the turtle swimming down the river was heading towards Xiao Han's position.
Xiao Han could clearly see the lines on the turtle's back without using any external objects!
"This is the word!"
Just when Xiao Han's eyes widened, trying to distinguish the patterns on the turtle's back, a steady voice faintly came from next to him.
Xiao Han heard the sound and turned around to look!
But they discovered that it was Li Shimin and Yuchi Gong who had stood behind them at some point.
"What is that word? Why is it so strange? It looks like a painted bird?" Xiao Han asked Li Shimin strangely, pointing at the turtle that was about to float away from him.
Li Shimin looked at the turtle, frowning, and the expression on his face was very strange!
Some excitement, some doubts, and even a little fear!
"That's bird seal script!" He replied affirmatively.
"Bird seal script?"
Xiao Han scratched his head, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Is this the bird-and-worm script of pre-Qin seal script? Wasn't it abandoned long ago because it was troublesome to write?"
Li Shimin nodded, then shook his head: "No one has used bird seal script for a long time, but maybe there are still people who are proficient in this kind of writing!"
Xiao Han stretched his neck and looked anxiously at the turtle floating further and further away: "Let's not talk about those useless things. Do you know bird seal script? What are the words written on it?"
Li Shimin's eyes were fixed on the turtle, and then he said slowly: "I don't know the bird seal script, but the four characters written on it are exactly the same as the first four characters of the imperial seal!"
"The jade seal of the country?" Xiao Han was shocked and blurted out: "Isn't that the order from heaven?"
"Exactly!"
Li Shimin nodded very firmly. His family had received more than one imperial edict before. The big seal on the edict was written like this. There was no way he could admit his mistake!
"Ordered by Heaven! Who is ordered by Heaven?" Xiao Han's expression suddenly changed! Why did he feel that the scene in front of him was so familiar?
"Hey, King Qin, why do you have to worry about it? When I go down and fish it out, everything will be clear by then."
Seeing the surprised and uncertain looks of Li Shimin and Xiao Han, Yu Chigong grinned and took off his boots to go into the water to fish for the turtle.
"No!"
"no!"
Just when Yu Chigong had just taken off his boots, two screams suddenly rang in his ears! Yu Chigong was so frightened that he trembled and almost threw the boots in his hands into the water!
Turning back in surprise, Yu Chigong found that the people calling him were actually Xiao Han and Li Shimin!
At this time, both of them had a fierce look on their faces!
It seemed that if he dared to go into the water, they would dare to make it impossible for him to get out again!
"Uh... I'm just saying, no fishing, no fishing..."
After swallowing a gulp of saliva with a "gu dong" sound, Yu Chigong made the most correct choice based on instinct within a thousandth of a second: put on his boots and leave the shore as if running away!
Seeing Yu Chigong retreating obediently, Xiao Han and Li Shimin let out a sigh of relief at the same time and looked at the turtle nervously again until it drifted downstream out of sight along with the turbid river water.
"Xiao Han, what is this?"
When he was sure that there was no trace of the turtle anymore, Li Shimin finally slowly turned his head, looked at Xiao Han and asked.
Xiao Han also turned to look at Li Shimin, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't do this!"
"okay, I get it."
Looking at Xiao Han who was smiling bitterly, Li Shimin nodded, but there was no expression on his face.
Xiao Han hesitated, then suddenly approached Li Shimin and asked in a low voice: "Do you want me to block the news?"
Li Shimin also smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "No need, there are tens of thousands of mouths, this is not something you and I can seal just as we want!"
Hearing what Li Shimin said, Xiao Han suddenly became a little irritated and kicked a pebble in front of him. He suppressed his anger and said, "Who did this? Why did it happen at such a time? I didn't want to fight you.
Roast on the fire?”
"This... I don't know! But now is not the time to discuss these things. I always feel that something is wrong this time. We need to rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible! From tomorrow on, the one-day march will be changed to eighty miles!" Shen Sheng said
After saying these words, Li Shimin took one last deep look at the Yellow River, turned around and left.
"You...me! Hey!" Xiao Han looked at Li Shimin's back, stamped his feet, and finally gritted his teeth and followed closely.
Xiao Han and Li Shimin both left, and the riverside, which was quiet just now, suddenly exploded!
There were even some who were curious and trotted downstream, wanting to see the strange turtle with their own eyes.
"Hey, have you heard? This afternoon a magical turtle floated up in the river, with ancient characters carved on its back!" In the military camp in the evening, a lean guy mysteriously said to the man next to him.
.
The man raised his eyelids and muttered: "Nonsense, I've heard it a long time ago! And I was by the river at that time and saw the turtle with my own eyes!"
When the thin man heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "Ah? Good luck! By the way, what is it written on it?"
The man's face turned red and he whispered: "What is it written? We don't know how to read it! But I heard someone else say that it seems to be something written: His Majesty, King Qin, should be the words of the Emperor!"
"Oh? Even the Divine Turtle thinks so? Then isn't our King of Qin destined to be the emperor?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Your Majesty is in good health. Can this matter be spread randomly?
After returning from the river, only half a day later, similar conversations were heard everywhere in the huge military camp.
Even Xiaodong and Lengzi hurried over to ask Xiao Han if this was true!
"roll!!!"
After Pingdi shouted loudly, the two idiots covered their buttocks and rushed out of Xiao Han's tent like flying!
"Grandma, the wind and rain are calm and not stopping!" Xiao Han pulled open the tent door curtain and looked at Xiaodong who was running away in embarrassment.
But as he watched, a person suddenly appeared in his mind.
"He couldn't have done this, right? But what good would this do to him?"
