Chapter 36: Through the Ages
The normal oath is told to heaven and earth, and if it is violated, it is violated, and there is no punishment from heaven and earth. The oath in front of the ancestral temple is different, the ancestral temple is dedicated to the ancestors of the Qin State, and the oath of blood in front of the ancestral temple is equivalent to taking the ancestors of the Qin State to ensure the reliability of the covenant.
Yan Dan came in response to the call, and with his understanding of Zhao Zheng, he naturally knew that he was asking for himself. Just now he deliberately tried to test the troubles of his childhood, and Zhao Zheng was rarely open-minded and angry, so he knew that what he was asking for was very big. Sure enough, the Qin State attacked Zhao Buxia and was eager to assassinate Li Mu.
As far as Yan Dan is concerned, Li Mu is the enemy who killed his father, and he is also the leader of Yan Kui, the enemy of the country and the family, so that he can't wait to eat his blood, eat his flesh, and sleep on his skin. It's just that Li Mu's equipment is very strict, and several assassinations have failed. The Qin State attacked Zhao in order to restore Yan, just in name, if it really wants to destroy the Zhao State, the Qin State will definitely not restore Yan, but now Zhao Zheng said that he can make a blood oath in front of the ancestral temple.
The Yan Kingdom has perished, what Zhao Zheng said is false, and the Yan Kingdom no longer exists, but if what Zhao Zheng said is true, ....... Yan Dan's complexion changed several times, and he attended the bow to Zhao Zheng, and said: "If you want to assassinate Li Mu, the minister still has one more thing to ask the king to agree." โ

In the middle of summer, the north city of Daliang is the most lively place in the whole world. This is the heart of the world, the hub of north-south transportation, under the rule of Wei, the commercial tax is quite heavy, forced buying and selling does not happen, and under the rule of Chu is laissez-faire.
Although the state of Chu did not agree with the merchants, 'I have no rebellion, I have no strong Jia', but Chu Lu determined that Yingdu (including the construction of the government and the various factories and mines under the rule of the government), Shaxian, Hangyi, and the Jinlingyi, Yangma Island, and the north and south gorges of Malacca that were exchanged for my Yulingyi, were all the private property of the king. The entire Chu State, except for the Xiang, Yiyang, Liu, Pi, and Zhan, which were divided out, were also all the private property of the king. It's just that these private properties have been contracted, the ownership belongs to Xiongjing, the management rights belong to the clans and the scholars, and then all the fields and houses in the country are owned by the common people, and they are allowed to buy and sell; If the common people go into battle in armor, the land they cultivate belongs to them, and they are not allowed to pay rent, but they are allowed to buy and sell.
Chu Lu's protection of private property is to protect the king, and to protect the implementation of the agreement between the king and the clans and scholars. And the result of protecting private property will naturally benefit the common people and merchants. Therefore, as soon as Chu Lu came out, the merchants in the southern city of Daliang voted with their feet, crossed the chasm and moved to the northern city, and waited for Cai Wen, the prince of Cai County, to take office as the prime minister of Wei, and revised the Wei law on the basis of the consultation of the four states, and the street trees in the Liangchen Yipin International New City where the merchants lived could already shade the sun.
Jing Ke is in Liangcheng Yipin International New Town, although he has lived for a while, he still can't understand the flush toilet under his crotch, and he doesn't understand why there are so many exquisite white porcelain inlaid in such a dirty place as a thatched house. His confusion was only momentary, and the maiden who was waiting by his side stepped forward with a white silk and wanted to help him wipe his buttocksโin the era when there was no paper, nobles used silk to wipe their buttocks.
"Not necessarily." Wei Nu is supple and Wei Yin is kind, Jing Ke didn't regard them as subordinates, and he didn't pull them out at all, people who are used to squatting suddenly sit on the toilet, and they are always very uncomfortable.
'Wow-' The slender maiden gently pressed the flush button, and the water in the tank burst out, flushing the filth out of the toilet. The faucet outside was gently twisted open by the guard, and the clean water was held in a copper basin by another guard.
"Medium, medium! Ahโโ!h Medium also. Hahahaha...... "Out of the thatched room and then into the hall, the hall is full of cups and cups, and it is noisy. The female singers were held in the arms of the high-roller dog, and these people were playing Liubo chess, and they had to throw the basket before the Liubo game, and they could go first if they were shot. When Jing Ke came in, Chen Yu happened to shoot an arrow into the pot, and the rest of the people laughed and laughed for a while.
"Brother Ziyu has good eyesight." Jing Ke is the landlord here, everyone was invited by Jing Ke, and everyone stopped as soon as he appeared.
"I've seen Jing Qing." Chen Yu and the dog slaughterers immediately stood up and saluted Jing Ke, and there were several faces in the crowd.
"Even if it's a brother, why be polite." Jing Ke also returned the salute to everyone. "You may be seated, you may be seated."
"This is my friend......" Chen Yu introduced a person next to him, very old, and his wrinkled face and beard were a little gray.
"Zhang Er has seen Jing Qing." Chen Yu has a close relationship with Zhang Er, Zhang Er is a native of Daliang, and his visit to Daliang coincided with his meeting with Jing Ke.
"Dare to ask, but it's yellow and open?" After the four sons, there are four little sons in the world, and Zhang Er is one of them.
"It's despicable." His name Jing Ke knew, and Zhang Er was not happy.
"Ke passed by Waihuang a few years ago, and he was eaten by the king." Jing Ke said deeply. "Please bow down."
Eight years ago, the Patriotic State was occupied by Qin, and the Great Suo Jingke. Jing Ke traveled to Daliang and Handan, and finally lived in Yan for several years. Zhao Zhenyan, he went south to Daliang, and had a deep relationship with Chen Yu. As a traveler, one of the little four sons, Waihuang Zhang Er, of course he knows, not only knows that when he passed by Waihuang to Qi Kingdom, he also mixed in Zhang Er's Mansion for a few days, but unfortunately until he left, Zhang Er was not in Waihuang.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhang Er hurriedly avoided it. It's in his nature to make friends with heroes, and it's really not for fame and fortune. But in troubled times, the more such a leading brother, the better the luck. Wealthy people with vision are also willing to invest in this kind of person, and the facts have proved that both the Lecheng family and the Lu family have succeeded, and they have both recruited a good son-in-law.
In the politeness of the two, Chen Yu said a few words about Jing Ke's situation beside Zhang Er, and when he heard that Jing Ke turned out to be a swordsman, Zhang Er immediately said to the left and right: "Take the sword." Left and right hurriedly stepped forward with a sword.
"In the past, I got a Chu sword, and its profits can be broken gold. If you don't give up the ......" After the appearance of Jutie, the benefits of the Chu sword are unparalleled in the world, and the noble swordsmen are proud to wear the Chu sword. Today's rich Jing Ke already had a good Chu sword, but as soon as Zhang Er's Chu sword was served, he was taken aback. This sword is more than five feet long, and the scabbard pattern is simple, not the common cloud and thunder pattern, but a rare cross pattern, which is simple and simple, which gives people a rough and sloppy feeling.
"But, but the sword?" Jing Ke is knowledgeable, he took it with both hands and drew his sword, and the autumn-like blade made the hall suddenly brighten. "Good sword! Good sword!! He was amazed.
"But this sword is also fierce." Zhang Er suddenly remembered something, and he was afraid that Jing Ke wouldn't like it. "The contemptible people are anxious, they just want to give the sword to you, and they are afraid that the king will be killed by this sword. Mistakenly. โ
"Oh?" Jing Ke was puzzled, if he was replaced by someone else, he thought that the other party was stingy.
"It's a long story." Zhang Er wasted his family wealth and became a guest for thousands of miles, and the news is naturally better than that of ordinary people. "I heard that the Yue people Ou Chouzi forged a sword for King Chu Lie, and once sacrificed 800 boys and 800 virgins to get the sword of this king. However, this sword is too fierce, and the great Sima Nao is cunning and wants to destroy it, swinging the sword to kill the Ding Ding and destroy the sword without injury, so the name of the Chu people is called the Ding Ding. โ
"Eight hundred boys and girls!" The high-roller dog Tu in the hall was speechless again and again, and his eyes suddenly changed when he looked at the sword.
Zhang Er said again: "Taibu Guan Ji divined this sword, and after Bu Jinyan, the King of Chu gave the sword to the Qin envoy to be weak, and after entering the Yan, Guan Ji died violently a year later. Qin envoy suddenly weak to cut the sword of the great joy, and then returned to Xianyang to cut the sword was taken away by the iron official Sima Chang for some reason, less than two years, the Shaofu iron furnace exploded, Sima Chang died, and even more affected the king of Qin, so in the past the king of Qin had begged the world's famous doctors to treat his injuries.
At this time, the Qin people knew that this sword was unlucky, and the gift of the sword was a plan for the Chu people to bring disaster to the country, but they did not dare to destroy it, and it was a pity to abandon it, and they did not know how to deal with it. Yao Jia of Wei is also a prisoner, and he is greedy for profit. He got this sword in Shaofu, but less than two years later, Yao Jia was killed by Chu Ao Chengjie in Gaotang. Qi Xianghou Sheng didn't know the murder of this sword, but Yao Jia stole this sword, and the Qin people once asked people, and they said: 'The sword is evil? I didn't get the sword'. Less than a year later, Hou Sheng also died.
A few months later, a high roller got this sword from Linzi and gave it to the contemptible people, and said that the sword was fierce, and the contemptible people did not believe it, and it was unharmed since last year. โ
The hall was silent, and everyone listened with fear on their faces, and their steps unconsciously moved out. Only Jing Ke's face did not change, and he always held the sword in his hand. "Good sword!" A different kind of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and finally he waved to Zhang Er: "Jun gave the sword to Ke, Ke will make this sword...... Famous through the ages. โ
"If you love it, give it away." Zhang Er smiled, "But this sword ......"
"It's okay!" Jing Ke 'choked' and put the sword into the sheath, and naturally put the sword on his belt, and then regardless of Zhang Er on the side, he actually raised his neck and generously sang a sad song:"
Who is Heguang? A reed. Who is Song Yuan? Hope for it.
Who is Heguang? There was no room for knives. Who is Song Yuan? He did not worship the dynasty. โ
Who said the Yellow River is wide and wide? A reed raft will sail. Who said that the Song Kingdom was far away? You can see it on tiptoe.
Who said the Yellow River is wide and wide? It is difficult to accommodate small wooden boats. Who said that the Song Kingdom was far away? Arrived in one morning.
This is a song written by the Song people in Weiguo, and it is Weiyin. The Song people miss the Song Kingdom, Jing Ke is the Wei people, he misses the Wei Kingdom, and some of the Yan Guo high-rollers present miss the Yan Kingdom. Standing on the south side of the Great River, looking at the mother country that no longer exists in the north of the Great River, the singing people burst into tears for a while.
"Hey." Zhang Er, Chen Yu, these Wei people, heard the singing, their eyes instantly became moist, and finally they sang along with them.
"Jun really wants to enter Zhao and stab Li Mu?" At night, the huge hall was lit with many candles, Tian Guang and Jing Ke sat on the seat, compared with the noise of the day, the silence of the night made people feel in a trance and felt that they were in the long river of time, and the cold time flowed by, never to return.
"The meaning of contemptible, you already know." Jing Ke's expression was extremely solemn, and the sword was placed horizontally on his lap.
"I'm a loser." Jing Ke traveled all over the world and finally settled in Yan Kingdom because he and Tian Guang cherished each other, not only sympathetic, but also like-minded. Both of them have great ambitions, but the means to achieve them are despicable, which has to make Tian Guang lament.
"Today, Zhang Er once said: Li Mu recruited warriors from all over the world to reject Qin, and Ke could go to Zhao tomorrow." Jing Ke said.
"No." Tian Guang objected. "Jun should enter Qin first, enter Qin and steal the Qin people's plan and then cross the well and enter Zhao, so as to get Li Mu's cronies."
