Chapter 42: The Empty City
One after another scarecrows were quickly thrown down from the top of the river pavilion, and if it rained, they were densely thrown down from the top of the city by those ordinary people.
"Scarecrow?" Mei Qian and the others in the city were a little puzzled, what was the matter with these scarecrows left on the top of the city.
I only heard Huang Yi's words over there, "King Meiqian, we shouldn't deceive you, you see, these are the scarecrows on our Jiangting City, we have all destroyed him!" ”
It was still raining scarecrows above the city. Huang Yi wailed, so that Mei Qian couldn't grasp his mind at all, he was originally going to rely on the scarecrow to debunk the tricks of those suspicious soldiers in the Jiang Pavilion over there, and give him an embarrassment on the spot, to hit the morale of the Jiang Pavilion army, but this punch was like hitting the cotton, it had no effect at all, and people didn't need you to open their mouths, so they threw those scarecrows on the city wall.
"King Meiqian, we surrender, we admit defeat, we give you what you want! Don't you want to pass on the jade seal? Here we go! Huang Yi shouted loudly to Mei Qian over there. Heirloom jade seal? Mei Gan's eyes suddenly lit up below, heirloom jade seal, isn't this what he Mei Gan dreamed of.
"King Meigan, please look!" As he spoke, Huang Yi took out a square thing wrapped in red cloth from behind him.
"This is the heirloom jade seal?"
Huang Yi directly lifted the red cloth for him, and suddenly the eyes of everyone below widened. Huang Yi and Yuan Yao have already seen it, but they are still stunned by the appearance of this heirloom jade seal, it is too vivid.
"Heirloom jade seal?" The boxy thing was lifted from his red cloth, and the sun shone in the light of the sun.
The heirloom jade seal is carved from wood as a whole, and the outside is Yang Hong who asked people to melt the gold and give the pot a layer of gold skin on the outside, so it shines under the sun, and it is very flashing.
Mei Gan's entire mind was attracted by this heirloom jade seal.
"Huh!" A confused voice suddenly came from the side.
Mei Qian looked over, and it turned out that the person who questioned it was none other than his subordinate scout Dongfang Ming.
"Have you ever seen a heirloom jade seal?" Mei Qian asked Dongfang Ming over there.
"No!" Dongfang Ming shook his head, he was just the leader of a small bandit, how could he have seen the heirloom jade seal.
On the city wall, Yuan Yao and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, if this little boss Dongfang Ming had seen this heirloom jade seal and recognized it as a fake, then Yuan Yao's next plan would be all over. "But this heirloom jade seal, but I heard that it was made by He's Bi, how can it be golden?" Dongfang Ming expressed his doubts. "Huh?" Mei Gan choked and frowned, yes, he Mei Qian has always thought that he is a cultural person, this heirloom jade seal is the original complete return to Zhao and the family, originally Mei Qian didn't know, but now he was reminded by this Dongfang Mingyi, and immediately became clever.
Phew, it turns out that this Dongfang Ming has never seen the heirloom jade seal, so it's easy to do.
Yuan Yao waved his hand at Huang Yi over there, there was no need for Yuan Yao to teach, Huang Yi talked nonsense compared to Yuan Yao, which was no better.
You don't have to make a draft at all, just open your mouth! "King Meiqian, you don't know this, indeed, this heirloom jade seal is made of He's bi, but King Meiqian, do you know that there is such a thing as gold inlaid jade?" Huang Yi looked at Mei Qian over there and asked. "Gold inlaid with jade?" Looking at Mei Gan's uncertain tone over there, Huang Yi's heart suddenly calmed down, which shows that this King Mei Gan doesn't know at all, and even if he knows, he doesn't know anything about it. "Yes, gold inlaid with jade, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu Guobian and Deyupu were dedicated to King Wen of Chu, and they were made into pieces, called "He's Bi". Legend has it that this bi is warm in winter and cool in summer, and mosquitoes dare not fly close within 100 steps, which is a rare treasure. After Qin unified China, "He's Bi" changed hands several times and fell into the hands of Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang ordered the jade workers to carve it into a jade seal. The jade seal is four inches long, wide and high, and it is engraved with the eight seal characters of Li Si's book, "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang". The five dragons are also carved around it, which is exquisitely clear and ingenious. Qin Shi Huang couldn't put it down and worshipped it as a sacred object. After the Han Dynasty destroyed Qin, "He's Bi" went through several vicissitudes and came to Liu Bang's hands, and Liu Bang passed the "He's Bi" as a jade seal from generation to generation, and it has been passed on to 12 generations of emperors. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the two-year-old infant was the emperor and hid the jade seal in Changle Palace. After Wang Mang usurped the throne, he sent Wang Xun and Su Xian to coerce the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan to hand over the jade seal. The queen mother saw that the country was ruined, and in a fit of anger took out the jade seal and threw it on the ground, this heirloom national treasure was broken on the spot, and later ordered a skilled craftsman to renovate and repair him with gold, so it was named "gold inlaid jade seal". This is where the "gold inlaid jade" comes from. "Our young master Huang Yi seriously explained the meaning of gold and jade to Mei Qian below." So this is gold and jade? Mei Qian asked suspiciously. That's nature! Huang Yi looked at Mei Gan pretending to understand, and secretly enjoyed in his heart.
The story of gold and jade is true, but it is not to repair the entire Heshi Bi, but a corner of the Heshi Bi was broken, and now Yang Hong has made this Heshi Bi but the whole is wrapped in gold! It's okay to fool some people who don't know how to do it, but for some people who know how to do it, it's a joke.
It's a pity that our King Meigan really belongs to the kind of people who are stupid but pretend to be smart about tasks. "That's gold and jade!" Mei Qian said to his subordinates, he was explaining to his subordinates that he was a cultural person, and there was even a kind of blame over there, blaming Dongfang Ming for being too talkative, and almost embarrassing himself.
Huang Yi looked at the second fool of Mei Gan with a swollen face and a fat man under the city, and his heart blossomed. "King Meiqian, as long as you can let Jiang Tingcheng go, we will give you the heirloom jade seal!" Huang Yi put his state very low.
The heirloom jade seal, Mei Qian, looking at the heirloom jade seal over there is greedy, the heirloom jade seal, there are really few people who can resist his temptation.
It is true that people like Sun Jian, the brother of the fierce general, can't bear it, Liu Biao didn't hold back, knowing that he would offend the Sun family and offend Yuan Shu, he also made a move, and then he was Yuan Yao's cheap father.
Directly took him as the emperor, such three people were all confused by him, not to mention such a small bandit leader, Mei Gan's eyes had already seen the heirloom jade seal glow, even more glorious than the heirloom jade seal. "King, do you really want to let them go!" Dongfang Ming on the side was a little anxious, if it was just to get the heirloom jade seal, although Mei Qian was happy, but his Dongfang Ming's credit would be gone, so Dongfang Ming didn't want Mei Qian over there to let go of Jiang Ting for the heirloom jade seal.
He was afraid that Mei Qian would be moved by this heirloom jade seal. "Humph!" Mei Qian sneered twice: "Are you stupid for the real king?" Mei Qian looked at Huang Yi above the city, "This king is just testing them!" "Mei Qian still thinks the same as before, this heirloom jade seal is a thing used to tempt, the value of this heirloom jade seal needless to say, since this Jiang Pavilion can give away the heirloom jade seal at will, then it means that they have no possibility of protecting the heirloom jade seal at all, so Mei Qian will immediately wave his troops to attack the city.
"I want the heirloom jade seal, and I want that Jiangting City!" Mei Qian is going to eat all of them without leaving one.
"The king is wise!" Dongfang Ming was overjoyed, as long as he won Jiang Tinghai's less benefit from Dongfang Ming? So Dongfang Ming was waiting for the city tower to send this heirloom jade seal.
But it was obvious that Young Master Huang Yi above the city was very lazy. "King Meiqian, I admire the king very much, but I am afraid that I will offend the king if I can't help it, so I also invite the king to enter the Jiangting City to get the heirloom jade seal!" Over there, Huang Yi said to Mei Qian under the city. "What?" Above the city, Mei Qian was immediately dissatisfied, and asked me to send someone in to get it? Not to be delivered to his plum dry hands? "Hey, what kind of thing are you, the king of our family can afford you, so he asked you to send it down, otherwise, it will definitely make your Jiangting City ruined!" Dongfang Ming is also in a hurry, you have to send the heirloom jade seal down quickly, send it down, he Dongfang Ming can take the right credit. "Oh, I'm so scared!" Huang Yi pretended to be panicked and said, "King Meiqian, Huang still had plans to send a heirloom jade seal to King Meiqian, but this general next to you is very fierce!" I'm afraid of the next! Huang Yi pretended to be soft and said. Humph, fuck off! "Mei Qian is a little dissatisfied with Dongfang Ming." Let me send someone to Jiangting City to get the heirloom jade seal? Mei Qian hesitated a little, but the restlessness in his heart was like that of a kitten, which made him unbearable.
In the end, Mei Qian still couldn't resist the temptation of the heirloom jade seal: "Come on!" ”
Mei Qian became cautious: "Send me a team of soldiers and horses into the city, and get the heirloom jade seal back from that Huang Yi's hands!" Mei Qian said to his men.
"Yes!" The team obviously didn't see him as a hard job, and they were very excited to accept it.
"As long as you bring out the heirloom jade seal, the first credit for this Jiangting County will be yours afterwards!" Mei Qian promised to his men.
One by one, you look at me, I look at you, they are all very excited, "Big boss, please rest assured, we will definitely help you get this heirloom jade seal, if you need it, we will also help you bring you the head of that Huang Yi child!" “
This team of people didn't take Jiang Ting in their eyes at all.
In their opinion, the big boss of their own family is too cautious, if they directly send soldiers and horses to take this Jiangting City, the gates of this Jiangting City are opened, where is there such trouble. "Then Huang Yi's head is forgotten!" Mei Qian said to everyone that he still liked Huang Yi's sycophancy technique and was ready to leave him dead.
A group of men and horses came out of the crowd and slapped their horses towards Jiangting City over there.
"They're coming, they're coming!" Yuan Yao looked at the team of dozens of soldiers and horses under the city coming towards Jiang Ting, and shouted to Chen Zhi beside him, "Uncle and nephew, it's up to you next!" "Your Majesty, don't worry!" Chen Zhi stood up with confidence: "Come with me!" "Descend the city wall with a group of men!
