Chapter 20: Yongcheng Ritual Sacrifice
"Hmm...... It is indeed a good baby, and I will cherish it. Ji Qing's eyebrows fluttered, and she was thinking about finding a place where no one was there so that Shao Haogu could absorb the energy in this jade card.
"In short, it's best if you like it......" Wei Baiqi sweated on the top of his head, thinking that this rhubarb really didn't call the wrong person......
Soon, Wei Baiqi left, and Ji Qing quickly ran back to his residence and began to absorb the energy of this jade brand......
I didn't expect this jade brand to be so unsucked, and it wasn't as enjoyable as the bronze dog cards before...... Ji Qing regretted for a while, but fortunately, after such a toss, most of the cracks in Shaohao's bones had been repaired, and he was finally able to support his wear and tear day and night, but he still had to pay attention to it when using it in the future...... Don't crack it again later, he can't expect Ling Hao to send him this kind of supply every time.
Ling Hao is also very busy now, it is not easy to be able to take time out to help him send this kind of airdrop, and Ji Qing is embarrassed to trouble him to help him do this kind of thing every time, so he has to find a way to help Shao Haogu continue to repair this rift.
"But how did this thing come about, it seems that we have to find someone who knows how to ask...... I guess I can only find Miss Shang. Ji Qing thought thoughtfully, and probably could only ask Shang Li, after all, this was the card her dog used to wear, except for her, who else would know about this kind of thing?
However, when Ji Qing entered the inner house, Ji Qing met the green clothes again, and naturally he was inevitably lectured by the other party.
"Rhubarb, why didn't you hide from me this time?"
"Also, why did you suddenly come to the inner house this time? Unless it is called by the lord himself, the diners and servants are not allowed to approach the inner house area! Now that the master is not in the house, he must abide by the house rules!" said Green Yi seriously.
"Hey...... I'm just here to meet Miss, I have something important to report to Miss...... Sister Green, let's make it convenient. ”
"Isn't it okay? It's just a word, besides, didn't I ask Sister Green to transfer that set of Dream of Red Mansions to Miss yesterday, what if she can't read it? Of course I have to explain my confusion to Miss. ”
However, looking at the puffed up appearance of the green clothes, she was obviously still angry about Ji Qing hiding from her yesterday.
"You, you have to learn to understand some rules, retreat quickly, don't think about anything wrong, the merchant will give you food, let you be a diner, it is for the merchant to serve, you don't want to be cranky just because the young lady appreciates you." ”
"I'm just here to ask about the origin of the dog tag, can this be considered a non-trivial thought?" Ji Qing scratched his head.
You can't break the rules, and you can't break in casually, it seems...... Only to take out the kung fu that I used to squat.
Three days passed.
Ji Qing squatted at the door of the inner house during the day, and only went back to sleep at night, in line with the principle of "guarding you to eternity", he never slacked off.
Ten days have passed in a flash, Ji Qing only feels that grass is growing on his body, but Shang Li has never appeared once, and no matter how good his patience is, it seems that he is about to run out......
"Why haven't you been able to meet Miss Shang, could it be that she is an otaku girl? The kind of person who never goes out usually?" Ji Qing was bored with the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and all kinds of gods began to unfold in his mind.
"Rhubarb!" Suddenly a loud shout came from behind him, which startled Ji Qing a lot, and the dog's tail grass in his mouth spit out.
"I recently heard from others that you have been guarding the door of the inner house recently, and you have met the green clothes by chance......" Wei Baiqi's face was as gloomy as moss on a stone, as if Ji Qing was going to destroy him if he didn't give him a reasonable explanation.
"I said it earlier...... If you want to get close to the man in green, you have to ask my fist first!"
"Brother Wei, you've made this clear...... It's interesting to Sister Green, it's actually you who is anxious when you see her in contact with other men, right?" Ji Qing's kung fu was not ordinarily strong, and he immediately pierced Wei Baiqi.
"Hugh is talking nonsense, I can be a sister-in-law in green clothes! Do you know that five years ago, green clothes were a good match...... It's a pity that before he could pass the door, the husband died on the battlefield......"
"And her deceased husband used to be my sworn brother who was allied with blood, a young handsome, a young hero, and he was a good match in green, but it's a pity. Wei Baiqi sighed for a while.
"I didn't expect Sister Green to have this kind of encounter...... It's unfortunate. Ji Qing also felt a little empathetic.
"But...... If that's the case, Brother Wei, you're in your forties this year, so how old does your sworn brother look like? Can you still be called a young man?"
"You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about, I'm only twenty-five this year!" Wei Baiqi seemed to be stimulated by Ji Qing again, and grabbed Ji Qing, as if he wanted to teach him a profound lesson.
"Eh, eh, eh, Brother Wei, you're not even thirty today?"
"You're only five years older than me! Brother Wei, you're too old. ”
"Bastard boy, dare to say, look for you!"
After a gossip entanglement, Ji Qing was almost beaten by Wei Baiqi, this operation was indeed a loss, and it also caused a lot of gossip.
If you still go to guard the door of the inner house, I am afraid that it will backfire, and the girl in green may still show her face, what should I do?
Ji Qing was thinking about it, and suddenly shouted twice.
"Miss Shang, don't stay at home, you definitely don't know my Dream of Red Mansions, and I have to tell you about it!"
"Every time I see Shao Hao's bones, I have to be scared, always worried that it will shatter directly...... I'm exhausted. ”
"It would be nice to have two more dog tags. ”
As he was talking, something suddenly fell from the tree and smashed right on Ji Qing's head.
Ji Qing took this thing down and took a look, it turned out to be a bun, not an apple, then again...... It seems that there is no big apple in this era.
"Hey, who threw this bun! I'll eat it if I don't want it. ”
"You dare, rhubarb, that's my bun, don't eat it!" a familiar voice came.
Ji Qing looked back and saw that the girl was quietly jumping down from the tree, standing in front of him, and said to him strangely: "Shhh, don't make a noise, I've been studying in the inner house all this time, but I'm bored." ”
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, Ji Qing is ecstatic, but also a little sad and angry, it seems that he has not waited in vain.
"Huh, why are you crying all of a sudden, Rhubarb?"
"It's okay...... The wind and sand blew into the eyes, and it was a little uncomfortable...... Just let me take a break. ”
Evening.
The two of them found a place where no one was around and sat down.
"You want to know where the dog tag came from? Hmm...... That's a long story. ”
"Rhubarb was a puppy that my father gave me when I was a child, but unfortunately it passed away three years ago......" Shang Li seemed to fall into some fond memories.
"Stop, I know, Miss Shang and Rhubarb have a deep relationship, but I'm asking about the origin of the dog tag. Ji Qing was obviously not interested in listening to these past events, and had a showdown with Shang Li directly.
"Rhubarb was the same back then, I got tired of playing with anything, and I didn't have much patience. Shang Li sighed, as if he saw the shadow of his former dog in Ji Qing......
"Where did this dog tag come from...... I remember that it was a fragment that my father retrieved from the Xuanyu wall of the Yongcheng ritual sacrifice...... At that time, I took it and carved it, so I gave it to rhubarb. ”
"Xuanyu Wall, how big is it?" asked Ji Qing eagerly.
"It's about the size of a wall. Shang Li said and gestured with his hand.
Wow! These fragments alone have already repaired Shao Hao's bones...... The energy and spiritual qi contained in such a large wall...... Isn't that yet completely repairable?
"Miss, what is the Yongcheng Festival?"
"It's the festival of the various families in Yongcheng to show their young diners, and they can't participate in it after the year of the weak crown. ”
"Isn't that twenty years old? I'm just twenty today, when will the festival be held? Can you take me to see it?" Ji Qing was also excited at this time.
"This ...... Forgive me for not being able to promise you, you don't know, there are many famous families in Yongcheng, this kind of [display] is actually a kind of contest and competition between various families, it is common, not right...... There will be casualties. Shang Li was sitting precariously at the moment, warning Ji Qing with a solemn expression.
"Uh...... Miss, have you forgotten that I am a Tai Sui body? I can't die if I want to, and I have also practiced the first two styles of the Soldier Body, I will definitely be able to ......."
"No, you don't know how powerful it is, the nobles of all countries are good at raising diners, and the deeper the family background, the more they pursue [three thousand diners], in other words, new talents emerge in an endless stream, representing the potential of the family in disguise. ”
"There are many big families in Yongcheng, headed by the Yongcheng Hou Miao family, followed by the Ling family and my business house, although the father's official position is high, but there is no military merit in the body, the background is still shallow, and the father is far inferior to other families in the regular sacrifice, and the father is the inspector of the place, the director of the report of the lawbreakers, not to mention the high power, it is easy to offend people, and every time the family has a young master to ask for advice and discussion. ”
But in the name of competition, in fact, some shameless people can't compete with their father in the court, so they take revenge on the diners to satisfy the villain's thoughts. ”
"Therefore, our merchant has made a rule that diners are not allowed to participate in the festival unless they have obvious strength over other families. ”
"But I'm not afraid of getting hurt, and I've practiced the ...... of the palm of the leg again."
"Tai Sui's body is not omnipotent, such as in the ritual sacrifice to meet a master of good weapons, cut off your hands and feet, take your head...... Everyone is dead, what's the use of recovering quickly?" Shang Li obviously wanted Ji Qing to dispel this idea and stay in the Shang Mansion honestly.
"All in all, the current Ji Jun has no chance of winning in the ritual sacrifice, and please concentrate on cultivation in the Shang Mansion. ”
"After a few years, there will naturally be an opportunity to participate in the festival. ”
"Hey, I'll be old in a few years, but I won't be able to participate. ”
"It's okay, you look at the tender face, and when the time comes, it's good to help you change your household registration. The old god of Shangli replied on the ground.
At the same time, Ling Hao was writing hard in the Ling Mansion, as if he was writing some important documents, he hadn't been to the workshop much in the past few days, but he just specifically instructed Wang Xuanqing to keep an eye on it, the props refreshed these days were not bad, but he still didn't see the shadow of high-yield crops...... It is estimated that it will not be brushed out in a year and a half, but brushing out Su Dingfang can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
Su Dingfang (592-667), whose real name is Lie, is known as Dingfang, and is known in the world for his words. He was born in Wuyi County, Jizhou (now Wuyi County, Hebei). An outstanding military strategist of the Tang Dynasty.
When Su Dingfang was a young man, he was known for his courage and courage, and he once accompanied his father to conquer traitors and stabilize the township. In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, he defected to the Hebei Righteous Army led by Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin, and made many military exploits. It was not until the reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty that Su Dingfang began to serve the Tang Dynasty, and accompanied Li Jing's northern expedition to the Eastern Turks.
In the second year of Xianqing (657), he was promoted to the chief of the marching army, and began to take charge of his own affairs, and was deeply appreciated and trusted by Tang Gaozong for his extraordinary achievements and integrity, and was entrusted with important tasks many times. Su Dingfang conquered the Western Turks, Pyonglingling, Baekje, and Goguryeo, "destroying the three kingdoms before and after, and capturing their masters alive", unprecedentedly expanding the territory of the Tang Dynasty westward to the Aral Sea in Central Asia, reaching Persia, and extending eastward to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.
Since then, Su Dingfang has successively served as General Zuo Xiaowei, General Zuo Wuwei, and the Duke of Xingguo. In his later years, he was appointed as the ambassador of Anji, and was fully responsible for the military defense of Tibet.
In the second year of Qianfeng (667), Su Dingfang died at the age of seventy-six. The book was given to General Zuo Xiaowei and the Governor of Youzhou, nicknamed "Zhuang......
This is one of the most prestigious fierce men in the history of the Tang Dynasty, but what was refreshed to Ling Hao in the contract store was a young version of Su Lie, and now he only has the strength of the ground lock triple, which can only be said to be honed.
It's better than nothing, use it first, and then let him lead the army in the future, and then let him lead the army to fight, now...... Let him read more books first, see the social situation of this era, and learn more about the military strength and geographical environment of the six countries, so that he can directly use them in the future.
Anyway, the contract store has already helped to get out Su Lie's legal identity, and even if his cheap big brother and cheap father ask him, he will have a way to confront him.
"Childe...... It's late at night, and it's time to rest. Wang Xuanqing suddenly pushed the door in, and somehow showed a little concern in his heart.
Maybe it's because this man appreciates and discovers himself, maybe it's because he never hides anything in front of him, Wang Xuanqing doesn't have the same bad feelings towards him now, and more because he doesn't want Ling Hao to die prematurely.
"No...... This article must be finished tonight, or there will be no such thought tomorrow. Ling Hao scratched his head.
"You can write articles at any time, but your body is your own, so don't tire your body. ”
"Say it's an article...... It's better to say that it's a paragraph, Xuanqing, you read it. Ling Hao said and put down the brush in his hand and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Wang Xuanqing.
"The people of the domain do not use the boundaries of the frontier, the country does not take the risk of mountains and streams, and the world does not take the benefits of the military revolution. Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. If you don't help you, your relatives will help you, and if you help you, the world will do it. With the world's obedience, attack the relatives of the side, so if the gentleman does not fight, the battle will be won......" Wang Xuanqing read softly thoughtfully, slowly becoming a little distracted.
"Childe's passage is really thought-provoking, succinctly and clearly pointing out the core relationship between the seven kingdoms......" Wang Xuanqing savored it carefully, and quickly captured the key points.
"Therefore, in many cases, it is not just by force, but more depends on the dispatch of the Seven Royal Families and the ...... of the people under them."
"By the way, the people on the list, but have they all been found?"
"Hui Gongzi's words have been found, and now they have all been controlled, I don't know what to do?"
"I want to deal with them...... Naturally, there are thousands of means, just to see if their bones are hard enough......" Ling Hao smiled.
"I don't know if Childe is preparing...... Or?" Wang Xuanqing said, scratching his neck.
"It's such a waste...... I have twenty kinds of torture here to deal with them, Xuanqing, take a look. Ling Hao said and handed another roll of bamboo slips to Wang Xuanqing.
"This ......" Wang Xuanqing just looked at it for a moment, and his face had already turned pale.
"To deal with the enemy's meticulous work of infiltrating my Great Qin, naturally you don't need to keep your hands, you have to understand, you don't need to keep your hands to deal with the enemy, if you have the opportunity, you must control him to death, and you must not let the tiger return to the mountain because of a moment of mercy. ”。
"Yes, Xuanqing wrote it down. ”
"Also...... We have to prepare, the Yongcheng Festival is almost here, and when the time comes, I am going to send Su Lie to try it, and if there is an accident, you can use the repeater......"
