Chapter 23 Ancient Books

At this time, Gu Zhaojun said! "Don't forget, you are just a secret envoy. If you want to use them, you must first find a decent person of Hong Huang's bloodline. Come on, this matter is very troublesome and must be calculated carefully. Put the money aside first."

This soldier can't be taken outside yet." Song Yang gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly: "If you can't take him out, I can't afford to take him out!"

Gu Zhaojun laughed and nodded sympathetically: "One last thing, they now know the situation outside."

For three days, Gu Zhaojun and others used chats to spy on Cicada Yaksha. Of course, the other party would also ask about things outside. "Followers, you don't have to know the identity and purpose of the emissary, but they are all from outside, how can they not know what is happening today?"

What is the world like?

Gu Zhaojun and others told the truth about this, firstly because there was no time to collude with him temporarily, and secondly because if Song Yang wanted to bring this pair of elite soldiers, Cicada Yaksha would return to the world sooner or later, and how could he hide it again then.

"Ninety-nine times, Gu Zhaojun will never make up useless lies.

The next day, when the military doctor consulted, he was pleasantly surprised to find, "Secret envoy, your Excellency's condition has improved and he is recovering quickly. The good news came out that Zheng Zhuan, the 43rd general of Cicada Yaksha, came quickly, accompanied by many lieutenants. In addition,

I also brought three wooden boxes, one large, two small, and so on.

Zheng Zhuan was in his early forties and had lived in the mountains for most of his life. When he was not leading troops, he only did two things: practicing martial arts hard and studying military books. He only hoped to return to the world one day. After meeting the emissary, he could deal with it calmly at first, but

As he talked, the heavy sighs accumulated in his heart since his ancestors could no longer be suppressed. Even though Song Yang had nothing to do with him, he couldn't help but sigh.

Call them stupid, say they are stupid, or even scold them for acting inhumanely, but just that persistence that has remained unchanged for seven hundred years is not a kind of indomitable spirit. When I see them, I believe that "the sea is dry and the stone is broken."

Regarding the details of the conversation, Song Yang and Lao Gu discussed the details for most of the night last night. The two most important keys were how to explain why Dahong had only been passed down for three hundred years and why it took another four hundred years to "awaken."

, cicada yaksha.

"The [Answer] has been determined for a long time. Before Zheng could ask the question, Song Yang first told the reason: things happened suddenly and the Great Flood Dynasty suddenly changed. The last emperor failed to fully disclose the final formula of blood refining to future generations.

Qing was met with bad luck.

The art of blood refining was "lost," so there was no way to ask Cicada Yaksha to come out as a savior. In the following hundreds of years, Hong Huang's bloodline entered the world. He thought hard based on the remaining prescriptions and kept searching to find a complete blood refining art.

It took four hundred years for this method to finally succeed.

Following Song Yang, he changed the topic and talked about the condition of the royal family after the collapse of the Hong Dynasty. It was nothing more than hard work and forbearance, repeated hardships, etc. What he said was almost all "lyrical prose" and did not involve specific people or things, so as not to avoid

In the future, he will betray the gang. In the end, it was explained clearly that "the emperor is still hiding outside, and the topic of unusually secretive identity is the second key." The emperor is the real master of Cicada Yaksha. Song Yang is already the secret envoy and can no longer be

Emperor, if he wants to capture this powerful army, he must have a reliable emperor.

"Emperor, you must be absolutely loyal to Song Yang's power, and at the same time have a calm mind. At least you can't show any flaws when facing Cicada Yaksha. Last night, Song Yang and Lao Gu really racked their brains over this candidate and reluctantly decided on it.

But unexpectedly, Zheng Zhuan didn't seem to care much about the current situation of Emperor 1. After hearing "The emperor's identity is secret," the general nodded seriously and did not ask about the specific situation. Song Yang naturally kept silent.

carry.

At this time, Song Yang seemed to have noticed something and turned to Zheng: "There seems to be something wrong with the general's complexion." At the same time, he made a gesture and asked the other party if he would like to ask him for his pulse.

Zheng Shuang didn't talk nonsense. He lifted up his sleeves and handed his arm over. Song Yang said casually: "I have followed Long live since I was a child. I have been immersed in it. I also learned some acupuncture and pharmacology. It's just superficial and abrupt..." He started to ask for pulse.

During the examination, Song Yang soon frowned. There were signs of poisoning in Zheng Shuang's body. Slow poison accumulated little by little in the meridians. It is usually harmless, but it will damage his life. If left alone,

, people will die before they live to be sixty.

After that, Song Yang got up and went to consult some of the lieutenants who were following Zheng Zhuan. Not only did Zheng Zhuan have a different complexion, but the complexions of these cicadas and yakshas were all wrong. There were more than ten people from the other party, without exception.

The symptoms and even the degree of poisoning are the same.

After thinking about it for a moment, Song Yang came up with the reason. It was not that someone deliberately poisoned it, but that there was a natural source of poison here... pink miasma.

The miasma is suspended in the air and seems harmless, but in reality it still has some impact on the camp. With the rain or special wind direction, the miasma poison falls to the ground. Over time, everyone living here will be poisoned.

Song Yang looked relaxed, told the matter to the sun, and continued: "Don't worry, the poison is not difficult to cure. I will prepare the medicine after I leave the mountain, and then send someone back. After a little recuperation, it will be fine." Unexpectedly, Zheng turned to Saran.

Yixiao: "Don't feel guilty. Not to mention sixty years old. In the past seven hundred years, no one here has lived past fifty-five. The sky is indeed poisonous, but this poison has no "use" for us." As soon as Cicada Yaksha reaches his age

, if you are not strong enough, you will "give up your place" and leave the resources to survive to the stronger person.

Song Yang shook his head and said seriously: "The general can abolish the military system of eliminating the weak. In the future, all those who do not meet the requirements, regardless of whether they are sick, old or weak, please send them out. Outside the mountains is my fiefdom, and I

Come and raise him." All the Cicada Yaksha present were stunned, while Song Yang kept talking and roughly talked about his identity in Nanli. There was nothing to hide about these things.

Even if you think it is "just and natural", if your loved ones can survive, it will be a great joy!

Zheng Zhuan took a deep breath and couldn't say too many words of gratitude, but just two words: "Thank you." His voice was very soft, but his tone was strong.

Gu Zhaojun next to him lowered his head, with a helpless face. He was too poor to open the pot, and he still wanted to help Cicada Yaksha adopt the old, weak, sick and disabled. The key is that the number of people may not be too many at first, but over time, it will definitely become an astonishing scale in the future.

The simplest way is to calculate directly to 30 years later. Most of the Cicada Yaksha here will have aged, and there will be at least tens of thousands of elderly people in Yanziping. What is the concept? Now, including all the craftsmen, coolies, guards and residents of the feudal city, there will be no

If there are four thousand people, how can Marquis Changchun feed his family?

Gu Zhaojun was a little bit elusive about Song Yang. At the border and in Jingcheng, this kid killed many people. He was crazy and ruthless, and didn't put his life in his eyes at all. Now he has good intentions and is carrying a huge burden for nothing.

In fact, Song Yang himself didn't think clearly. He just felt that if he wanted to take away Cicada Yaksha, he should not let their weak relatives and friends die under the cruel military system.

Zheng Zhuan didn't say anything more and made a gesture to the deputy general beside him. The latter understood and brought up the three wooden boxes, one large, two small and three. He opened the big box first and presented one of the volumes.

, Song Yang opened it and saw that it was the detailed booklet of Cicada Yaksha. From the establishment of the troops, the allocation of generals to the roster of soldiers, everything was carefully recorded. There was nothing unusual. It was considered a handover procedure.

Then the second wooden box was opened, and there were only three books in it. Song Yang took it and took a look, and his hands immediately sank, and he almost didn't hold it. They were all picture books, with pictures of armor, helmets, boots, and long and short weapons drawn on them.

The labels on the side are carefully marked. A detailed list is also attached, indicating the required quantity of each weapon... No need to ask, Song Yang is asked to prepare the equipment for them.

Zheng Zhuan also explained from the side: "There is no iron in the mountains, so soldiers can only train with stone and wooden tools. However, regardless of the weight of the body, the weight of the stone tools, and the format, from the ancestors down to the present, they have tried to be as close as possible to the weapons in the album.

When the envoy sends us the real weapons, Cicada Yaksha will be able to get started quickly." Song Yang smiled extremely ugly, gritted his teeth and nodded, trying to say "I will do it as soon as possible" but he couldn't say these words no matter how hard he tried.

, I finally understood in my heart that poor people are indeed short of breath.

Zheng Zhuan didn't pay attention to the envoy's expression and opened a third box with his own hands. There was still a book inside, only one, but it was very thick. It was sealed in sheepskin. The color was old and it was obvious that it was old. The general's movements were cautious.

Afraid that the ancient book would be damaged if he exerted a little strength, he sent it to Song Yang.

The other party's expression was solemn, and Song Yang did not dare to neglect. He took it and opened it carefully. Just after flipping through a few pages, Song Yang's heart was filled with turmoil. However, he did not dare to reveal the slightest surprise. Zheng Zhuan sent this to him without saying a word.

The three boxes were obviously something that Hong Taizu and Zheng Xi had agreed upon long ago and were something that the secret envoy should know.

Inside the sheepskin envelope, there are still atlases and maps page after page. Each page is the location of an ancient tomb... There are text marks in the blank spaces of the pages, explaining the identity of the owner of the tomb, the scale of the cemetery,

and an estimate of the treasures contained therein.

There are more than seventy pages before and after. Many of the tomb owners Song Yang have heard about. Everyone has a prominent status, either a king of a generation or an important nobleman. Their true wealth is the most "ferocious" treasure map in the world! It can lead to...

The book that all the countries fought for at the risk of going to war is a thin page containing thousands of taels of gold.

Song Yang pretended to be sick again, and adjusted his breath to induce a violent cough. His eyes were red, and his face was like blood. It was uncomfortable to deliberately reverse the Qi, but otherwise, Chang Chunhou really couldn't vent his excitement!

I was completely disappointed. I didn't expect that I could actually find a lot of money again.

Nine hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Earth Monkeys came out of the mountains to work for ancestor Hong Taizu. In the past two hundred years, they traveled all over the world. They dug through countless ancient tombs, but they did not just dig every one they saw.

Perhaps due to the constraints of the conditions at the time, it was not possible to excavate immediately; perhaps the Han Dynasty rulers were temporarily wealthy; or perhaps the ancestors of the Hong Emperor planned to leave some money for future generations. The locations of some ancient tombs were discovered, but after the situation, they were not immediately opened, and

It is to record it in case of emergency.

As for this booklet, it was stolen by the last earth monkey and taken back by Cicada Yaksha. It is still unknown whether it was given to Zheng Xi by Hong Taizu for safekeeping by him. However, at this moment, Song Yang was in a jittery mood.

I finally figured it out: If Hong Taizu only hid a lone soldier in the mountains, it would be too "thin".

They have no money, no food, not even weapons or armor. Even if they return to the world, they may not even be able to feed themselves, so how can they talk about combat power: using Cicada Yaksha must be the most critical moment for the Great Hong Dynasty, and the country will collapse.

The national treasury was in deficit, and if you wanted to make up for it again, it would be useless to have people, you also need money. Taizu Taihong thought very carefully. What he left to future generations was not only elite soldiers, but also endless wealth waiting to be mined.

With this, only then can we hope to conquer the world again.

As for why Cicada Yaksha left three hundred earth monkeys unkilled, the reason is self-evident.

When they saw the emissary, they handed over three boxes of books, practiced diligently and waited for the weapons. This was a military order that had been established long ago. Everyone in Cicada Yasha understood that the arrival of the emissary meant that they were about to return to the world, but they did not immediately return to the world as soon as the emissary arrived.

strike camp.

The next thing became extremely simple. Song Yang didn't wait any longer. He agreed with Zheng Shuang on the next meeting time. He took the heavy treasure box and set off out of the mountain that day. As for the three hundred earth monkeys, Song Yang hesitated.

He didn't take them away, he just said that he could dig those ancient tombs with his own strength without the help of savages.

Song Yang had no good impressions of the barbarians in the mountains and rivers. Taking them out of the mountains would only cause trouble. If they didn't listen, they would escape and leak the secrets. As for digging holes and robbing tombs, the native monkeys seven hundred years ago were familiar with it.

This trade has made them work well: but now these three hundred savages have been raised in captivity and need to be incompetent and inexperienced. Song Yang doesn't think they can dig holes faster than him.

Zheng Zhuan didn't care about this, Cicada Yaksha always left a group of earth monkeys behind, and they were just "spare".

Before leaving, Song Yang winked at the little catcher. They had already discussed the matter. The little catcher stepped forward and handed Zheng Zhuan his saber with sheath. Song Yang smiled at the same time and said: "You're so welcome."

Ting is in a hurry, and I would like to ask the general's subordinates for this kindness." The princess's saber is naturally of the highest quality. Zheng Zhuan immediately showed a look of joy and thanked her repeatedly.

It is rainy in Nanli and the mountains are humid. No matter how good the quality of the weapons brought by the ancestors of the Hong people are, they cannot withstand seven hundred years of rust and have long since rotted into slag. There is not a single weapon left in such a huge mountain valley.

Cicada Yaksha is known as an elite soldier, and Zheng Zhuan claims to be a general, but he has never touched a real sword or gun in his hands. It is understandable that he is depressed. How could he not be happy when he suddenly got a good knife? After Xiaoping gave him the knife, he tried to

Asked: "General Zheng, I heard that when the monkey fled back to the mountains, he brought some beautiful ornaments with him. Can I..., can I take a look?"

Zheng Zhuan laughed and ordered his men to fetch another wooden box. Some of the treasures confiscated from the local monkeys were valuable, while others were high-quality fakes. They were piled up in such a mess without being able to separate them.

Together, no one here pays attention to this kind of thing. 1 The little hunter rummaged through it and found a crested hairpin carved from jasper: "Can you give this to me?" People in the mountains don't know how to be polite. Zheng Zhuan said with a smile:

"If you like it, it's okay to take it." Xiao Zhan shook his head with a smile: "I'm not greedy, I'll be satisfied with just this one, thank you, General!"

Song Yang was originally a little bit weird about how the little kid became greedy for money, until he said goodbye to Cicada Yaksha,

After returning to the seamway, the young catcher took out the hosta again and put it into Song Yang's hand: "It took too long to run out. I guess the third sister will have to eat people when we go back... Use this to coax her."

When returning, almost everyone felt in a trance, like a big dream. Who could have imagined in advance that four hundred years after the fall of the Hong Dynasty, there would still be a Hong army in the world waiting to serve the country.

Abandoned by the world and trapped in the dead end of reincarnation, Cicada Yaksha seems to be living in another world, in another time, with no day and night, no life and no death, and only two words: wait.

The world of Cicada Yaksha is closed and pathological. There are no interests up for grabs, only endless confusion. Their system is cruel but simple, and the "consciousness" that outsiders can never understand is their innate instinct.

The "supremacy" of the system also determines the unquestionable, complete and unconditional trust of the envoys who pass the blood test.

Seven hundred years of inheritance have made the people in the mountains have long forgotten what "scheming" is: the messenger from another world is the meaning of their hard work to protect.

Therefore, the experience in the depths of Mang Mountain was unbelievable to Song Yang, but the process went very smoothly. When the messenger arrived, everything fell into place, and Song Yang did not even have to do anything deliberately. Cicada Yaksha's wait was too long, and it was so long for them

They had already prepared everything to cross the Imperial Road and join Mu'en and Shanxixiu. Everyone quickened their pace and hurried back to the feudal city. During the round trip, the purlins of the ancient camp were set up, and the Cicada Yaksha army pretended to be stunned. It was enough time to go back and forth.

For more than a month, the princess Chengneighbor at home may have been waiting impatiently.

Sure enough, not long after they came out of the mountains and entered the fiefdom, Ren Churong, who had received the news, came up to them. He was riding alone, without a single guard. When he saw Song Yang, Her Majesty the Princess jumped off the horse, gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and spoke every word.

Don't say anything, just stare at him.

Seeing this, the others all slipped away quietly, and no one cared about Song Yang. 1. Detective 1 also wanted to run away, but after careful consideration, he felt it was a bit inappropriate. After the others dispersed, 1. Detective was about to come forward with a playful smile.

Chu Rong glared at her: "You are not allowed to speak!" Xiao Zhan stuck out his tongue, shrank his neck and stepped aside. In the meantime, he did not forget to shrug his shoulders to Song Yang, signaling: "Be careful."

Song Yang coughed, and before he could speak, Ren Churong reached out his hand, pointed at him and angrily yelled: "Song Yang, you are so bullying!" More than a month ago, Song Yang only said that he was going to visit Shanxi Man in the mountains.

Tian didn't come back yet, and the longer Cheng's neighbor waited, the more worried he became. Finally, he couldn't sit still anymore, and he didn't care about the barbarian's hatred of the Han people, so he took a few close guards into the mountain. Fortunately, Shanxi Man thought of Song Yang's

To save face, he was quite polite to her.

From this, Chenglin also knew that he had let Song Yang be fooled again. In the next almost a month, Song Yang and his sister did not come back. Chenglin was very worried. Fortunately, Song Yang came back in time. If it had been later,

In a day or two, Cheng's neighbor will borrow troops from his father and go to the mountains to find someone.

"You promised as promised at the beginning, and you will let me know if anything happens again."

Chenglin was usually quick to respond and sharp in words, but now he didn't know what to say. He was breathing heavily and his chest was rising and falling violently. After holding it in for a long time, he still didn't know how to curse. Finally, he raised his hand angrily and smashed the riding crop on the ground.

, said angrily: "I quit!" After saying that, he turned around and left.!
