Chapter 29: That Glance
Dongguan as the Han court to store books place, equivalent to the later generations of the national library, some fire prevention measures are naturally there, but the fire in Luoyang City burned a lot of time after all, even if Dongguan is not the first place to be set on fire, but such a long time the fire still burned to Dongguan, fortunately, the fire is not too big, did not let the Dongguan collection of books be burned.
When Yuan Yao came to Dongguan and asked Yu Shi to personally lead the team to rush into Dongguan to extinguish the fire and rescue the books, the fire in Dongguan was also controlled. Although Yu Shi is only a mid-stage cultivator of Yun Jin, and he can't release Gang Qi, it is still possible to urge the Qi in his body to extinguish the fire.
However, when the fire in Dongguan was completely extinguished, Yuan Yao counted the books that were snatched back by Yu She, and the number was about three or four thousand volumes.
Although three or four thousand volumes of books are already a lot, but in Yuan Yao's opinion, this is far from enough, you must know that Dongguan has a collection of 300,000 volumes, but now they have rescued only three or four thousand volumes, which is almost equivalent to one percent of the Dongguan collection.
Thinking of this, Yuan Yao felt uncomfortable in his heart, if they could have arrived earlier, maybe they would have been able to salvage more books from this fire, but Yuan Yao also knew that this was a bit whimsical.
After the alliance of the eighteenth princes found that there was a sky-high fire in the direction of Luoyang, they snatched the Tiger Prison Pass, and then hurried to Luoyang City, there was a distance of fifty miles between Luoyang City and the Tiger Prison Pass, and such a long distance was already very good when Yuan Yao arrived in Luoyang City and could rescue three or four thousand volumes of basically well-preserved books from the East View.
asked Yu Shi and the others to put away all these scrolls and put them on the war horses they brought, and Yuan Yao took these people to walk in another direction.
Fortunately, most of the books in Dongguan are recorded in silk, not bamboo slips, otherwise, with the few people brought by Yuan Yao this time, it would be impossible to take away all the three or four thousand books.
It's been a few months since he came to this world, and it's not that Yuan Yao hasn't done anything, in the past few months, Yuan Yao has been trying to understand how many similarities and differences there are between this world and the late Han period in his original cognition, and after some rough research, Yuan Yao found that this world is not much different from the late Han period in his original cognition except that he can cultivate.
Of course, there may also be some differences, but Yuan Yao hasn't noticed it yet, after all, Yuan Yao's time in this world is still too short, so short that although Yuan Yao tried his best to understand this world, the world he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.
In the world that Yuan Yao knew, Cai Lun did invent paper, but the quality of these newly invented papers was not good, and they could not be preserved for a long time, so some important books and documents would choose to be recorded with silk silk if they were capable.
What Yuan Yao didn't know was that although he had only managed to get three or four thousand volumes of books in the Dongguan that was almost in ruins, not all of the Dongguan books were burned by the fire. Because most of the books in Dongguan are used as carriers, and the Xiliang army also looted everywhere in the process of forcibly relocating the people to Chang'an, and how did they bring the gold, silver and jewelry they looted to Chang'an?
The collection of books in Dongguan has become a choice, and many Xiliang troops have rushed into Dongguan and seized a lot of books, the large ones are used as curtain covers, and the small ones are used to make bags and things. And these silk silks, which had become books, were later recollected by Wang Yun, and there were probably more than seventy cars, which was much more than the three or four thousand books that Yuan Yao had obtained now.
After putting away these three or four thousand books, Yuan Yao also specially instructed Yu Shi to hide them well, except for Yuan Shu and a few other trustworthy people, he couldn't let anyone else know that he had so many books in his hands.
Yu Shi is not an ignorant person, so he naturally knows what the consequences will be if the princes learn that Yuan Yao has so many books in his hands, and as a powerful general secretly cultivated by Yuan Shu, Yu She's loyalty to Yuan Shu is undoubted, and Yuan Yao, as Yuan Shu's only son, will naturally obey Yuan Yao's orders without conflict with Yuan Shu.
And now, Yuan Yao's order can be said to be very beneficial to Yuan Shu, so Yu Shi naturally will not oppose Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao had long known that Luoyang City would be burned by fire, but he knew that he was powerless to change, the alliance of the eighteen-way princes may have the ability to change, but Yuan Yao was unable to use the power of the eighteen-way princes' alliance. And in order to get the most benefit from this fire, Yuan Yao carefully inquired with Yuan Shu about the addresses of several important places before coming to Luoyang City. For example, Dongguan and Cai Yong's mansion where Yuan Yao is now taking Yu Shi and others to rush.
Yuan Shu was naturally familiar with Luoyang City as a tiger general, although he didn't know what Yuan Yao wanted to do when he inquired about the specific location of these places, but Yuan Shu still told Yuan Yao. It was precisely because of this that Yuan Yao was able to take Yu Shi to the place he wanted to go quickly after entering Luoyang City.
And when Yuan Yao took Yu Shi to the Cai Yong mansion that Yuan Shu told Yuan Yao, several people in coarse linen clothes ran past Yuan Yao, and looking at the direction they were heading, it should be the gate of Luoyang City.
When passing by those people, Yuan Yao glanced at those people for some reason, and at this time, one of those people with a petite body and a cloak to cover his face also glanced in the direction where Yuan Yao was, as if he was curious why Yuan Yao was riding with Yu She.
Coincidentally, the two eyes collided in the air, and what appeared in Yuan Yao's eyes was a pair of extremely bright eyes, a pair of eyes full of spiritual wisdom.
Yuan Yao can be regarded as having read countless people, but he has never seen such a pair of eyes, which are eyes that Yuan Yao does not know how to describe, full of spiritual wisdom, as if heaven and earth love the owner of these eyes, so they gave her such a pair of eyes.
Yu Shi rode his horse and galloped wildly, so that Yuan Yao could only glance at the man, but Yuan Yao still saw the owner of that pair of extremely intelligent eyes, although his face was mostly covered by cloaks and clothes, but judging from the exposed eyes and white jade-like skin, it should be a woman, but it seems that she is not much older than herself, and she is estimated to be a girl.
After Yuan Yao and the girl glanced at each other, the distance between the two sides widened by an unknown amount.
After Yuan Yao and his party disappeared into the street corner, the young man was still thinking about the young man who had just glanced at her, and for some reason, she just remembered the young man's face.
"Miss, we have to hurry, if it's late, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of Luoyang City."
"Hmm!"
The girl nodded, but for some reason the face of the young man who had just looked at her appeared in her heart.
