The scroll of "Lianshan Yi" that Yuan Gong found had very light traces of blood on the scratches on the bamboo slips, exuding the same very light smell.
As far as Zhao Qing knows, the sense of smell of apes is not much better than that of humans. If the ape can identify the bamboo slips through its sense of smell, then people with much higher skills than him can also identify it.
If such a bamboo slip is a clue to King Zhou Mu's treasure, Zhao Qing believes that it is indeed possible.
"What are the clues to that treasure?" After thinking for a while, she looked at Xu Shiliu on the ground and asked.
"If I tell you, will you let me go?" Xu Shiliu grabbed the ground with both hands and exerted force several times, trying to get rid of Zhao Qing's shoes on him, but was stomped by Zhao Qing and was shaken away.
Strengthen the whole body's muscles and bones.
He felt deeply that he had no room for escape, so he had to make the topic as long as possible to delay time. But now that he had reached the end, he had to end his topic and could no longer do the same trick.
Seeing a hint of hesitation flash across Zhao Qing's face, he quickly spoke:
"In Panyu Ridge where the villain belongs, the big leader is only half a step away from Shenjin. There are also nine masters of Huajin who are powerful. There is no need for the girl to provoke such an opponent and delay herself because of the villain's humble life.
future."
"If the girl let go of the little horse today, I promise that in the next life I will be a cow or a horse to repay you."
"Why are you talking so much? Are you talking about it or not?" Zhao Qing stepped hard and pressed on the other person's back. Yin and yang energy rushed into Xu Shiliu's body, making him groan in pain.
"The sealing of Yan Cave in Panyu Mountains is said to be the trace left by the war between Wu and Yue. It is said that the general of Wu State, Wang Sunluo, and the great commander of Yue State, Zhuji Ying, fought in Kuaiji Shandong. Wu Gou fought against Yue Ge, and a aftermath hit Panyu.
In the middle of Yuling Mountains, a blazing cave with a depth of hundreds of feet was left."
Zheng Dan added on the side: "Seven or eight years later, Cang Fushi, an abandoned disciple of the Tianzhu sect, settled in Fengyan Cave, and recruited many criminal masters from surrounding cities, and eventually developed into the first branch of Kuaiji Mountains.
Thirty-two large cottages."
From the King of Yue on down, there are always sixteen feudal lords in the Yue Kingdom, such as "Lord of Yaocheng", "Lord of Yongjiang", etc. They were the leaders of the Yue tribes who were originally canonized by Yunchang and enjoyed the right of autonomy.
With the power of merging with surrounding tribes, Yunchang expanded the territory and was first called the King of Yue. He left his son Gou Jian with a powerful Yue Kingdom with a territory of more than 100,000 miles.
After Fu Chai released Gou Jian and returned to his country, he first had a land of ten thousand li, and then a land of 80,000 li. However, he still said that his country was "unfinished" and the scope was not as large as that of Yun Chang's period.
In addition to the sixteen princes, many sects in Yue also enjoy certain autonomy, such as Shenwushan, Gumi, Pinggu, Tianzhu, etc.
The Tianzhu Sect is the leader of the seven major sects in the Kuaiji Mountains. There are several senior elders in the sect who are in the middle six realms, and their strength is not inferior to that of any of the feudal lords of the Yue Kingdom.
The big leader of Fengyan Cave, Cang Fushiya, is an abandoned disciple of the Tianzhu Sect, but he is able to lively and active outside of Kuaiji Mountain. Obviously, his identity as an "abandoned disciple" has a hidden meaning, and he may still be protected by the Tianzhu Sect.
"The bandits have a backing, don't I?" Zhao Qing understood that Zheng Dan was worried that she would get into trouble, but she was not too afraid.
A master of Gang Jin will not rush to retaliate just because a subordinate who has just joined Hua Jin dies. Just finding out the specific information will take a long time.
By that time, I will probably have entered Kuaiji City.
"That's it. In fact, there is no need to torture anymore. It's better to kill him. Even if these gangsters say it, there is no guarantee that they are not malicious and deliberately misleading." She smelled the smell of blood around her and felt a little uncomfortable. "It makes sense." Zhao Qing grabbed Xu Shiliu's trachea from the air and slowly tightened it. What she hesitated before was whether she should simply execute him?
"Blood...it's blood..." He barely squeezed out a few words from his throat. Xu Daliu tilted his head and died, his face full of fear and unwillingness.
There are also blood stains on the bamboo slips, which seems to be correct. But if the bamboo slips are really clues to the treasure, what did the person who gave the news think?
Zhao Qing looked at the thoughtful Zheng Dan beside him. The most important thing now is to improve his strength as soon as possible to fight against the secret guards of the Wu Kingdom, rather than looking for illusory treasures.
Two caravan guards stood in the distance, bargaining with the few slave traders who were reluctant to leave their slaves and run away after seeing human lives in the yard.
Female slaves are relatively scarce in the human market. Most of them with good appearance were bought early or were given to local officials at low prices by slave traders. Very few are left.
There are only a few women in their 30s and 40s among the female slaves in the market at the moment, as well as two female savages from the Sanyi Land, who are completely unable to serve as Zheng Dan's substitute.
Zhao Qing watched the caravan guards select a dozen male slaves who looked loyal and honest, but had no idea of redeeming and liberating them.
To be honest, as a slave in the Duanmu family's caravan, the quality of life may not be worse than that of ordinary civilians. Most of these "loyal and honest" slaves have been slaves for generations and do not have the rebellious spirit to yearn for free people.
Confucianism is also a school of thought that cares for slaves. It is recorded in the Analects of Confucius that when Confucius' stable was on fire, he first asked "Did anyone get hurt?" instead of asking about the horses first. This is more common than slave owners who believe that horses are more valuable than slaves.
The performance is much stronger.
At this moment, a group of soldiers with guns broke into the yard, led by a strong man in robes and armor, holding a big golden ax in his hand.
"Which one is Miss Zhao? The Prime Minister invites you to come into the house for a chat. Duanmu Shuliang is also there."
……
East of Kuaiji City, Yuewang Palace, the sun is approaching noon.
There is a high stone platform with a door on the front. After passing through a long corridor and passing several strict guards, you arrive at a huge stone chamber.
Gou Jian, dressed in regular clothes, stood quietly in the center of the stone room, looking up with a solemn expression on his face.
A huge sphere was suspended above him. If you look closely, you will see that this big sphere is actually composed of countless large and small swords.
There are jet black swords, pure white swords, jade swords, and bronze swords. They look dazzling under the bright lights around them, like a celestial sphere shining with brilliant stars.
Gou Jian made a move with his right hand, and the densely packed sword balls were separated, revealing the three swords in the center, Buguang, Juque, and Haocao.
A short time passed, and the giant tower circled around the outside. Haocao's light sword also lowered and fell into Gou Jian's hand.
After he came to the throne, he summoned the most skilled craftsmen from all over the country to forge this sword. Its power is as powerful as Zhan Lu and Chun Jun. However, the skill of the sword maker is not as good as that of Ou Yezi, so it is half a step behind, but it is still better than Ou Yezi.
Juque, Haocao and two swords.
After wiping the blade of the Bu Light Sword for a while, Gou Jian relied on the sword array in the capital to collect general news about Kuaiji City in recent days.
"Mr. Ji Ran left a message, do you need to send several experts to the southeast to deal with the recent emergencies?"
