Chapter 759: Parental Hatred
Zhao Langzhen was wandering on the street at the moment, and every time he saw an antique shop, he had to go in and take a look, and for several days, there was no gain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Langzhen arrived in Chang'an City three days ago, and he rushed to Chang'an after receiving a letter from Zhang Bao'er. But when he arrived in Chang'an, Zhang Baoer never saw him, Zhang Baoer just sent Uncle Hua to tell him to let him rest quiet and wait for the news.
In desperation, he had no choice but to walk around Chang'an City.
That afternoon, Zhao Langzhen entered an antique shop called Cheng Bao Zhai. His gaze wandered across the shelves, and his neck suddenly stretched out when a broken jade cup came into view.
Zhao Langzhen suppressed his excitement, slowly walked to the jade cup, and leaned over to take a closer look. This jade cup was a little broken, as if it had been split in half from top to bottom by some sharp weapon, so strictly speaking, Zhao Langzhen only saw half of the jade cup. What made him even more excited was that this half of the jade cup was engraved with four words: "Conquer everything".
After searching for so many years, I have finally been found today, and I must uncover the secret hidden in the jade cup......
Zhao Lang's thoughts fluctuated in his heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
After a long while, Zhao Langzhen realized that he shouldn't show his feelings. If the shopkeeper had seen his thoughts, he would have deliberately increased the price.
As expected, when he asked the price, the shopkeeper Lion opened his mouth: "One thousand taels." ”
Although he was mentally prepared, Zhao Langzhen was still shocked: "It's just such a broken cup, why are you selling it so expensive?" ”
"I said a thousand taels, it's still cheaper for you. Since you are too expensive, I regret it now, and the price has doubled, two thousand taels. The boss seemed to have calculated that he would buy it, and in the blink of an eyelid it rose by a thousand taels.
Zhao Langzhen was remorseful, didn't dare to argue anymore, gritted his teeth and said, "Two thousand taels, I bought it." ”
After buying this half of the jade cup, Zhao Langzhen returned to the guest room.
In the dead of night, Zhao Langzhen quietly got up from the bed and tiptoed to take out the package he was carrying. He carefully opened the package, and inside was half a jade cup with the words "invincible" engraved on it. Zhao Langzhen took out the half of the jade cup he bought from his arms, and put the two halves together to form a perfect whole. Looking at the jade cup glowing with a crystal cold light under the moon, Zhao Lang couldn't help but think of his father's instructions many years ago.
Zhao Langzhen's great-grandfather, Zhao Zhi, was a general under Emperor Taizong, and he made great achievements because of his bravery. Zhao Zhi has a friend named Qiu Bochuan, who is also a general. After Zhao Zhi achieved a major victory, Qiu Bochuan gave him a beautiful white jade wine glass, which was engraved with the words "invincible and invincible".
Zhao Zhi liked this gift very much, and he brought the jade cup with him every time he went out.
Later, when the war was temporarily lost, Zhao Zhi drank alone in the tent, thinking hard about the strategy of defeating the enemy. Suddenly, he spotted a small red snake quietly crawling towards the jade cup. In desperation, he waved his hand to drive away the little snake, but was bitten by the snake on the hand.
Zhao Zhi was greatly annoyed, drew his sword, and cut the little snake into several pieces.
After hacking the little snake to death, Zhao Zhi felt dizzy, thinking that he had drunk too much wine, leaned on the table and fell asleep, and never woke up from this sleep.
Lang Zhong, who was with the army, examined his body and found that he had been poisoned. The small red snake, commonly known as the "first-line red", is a rare poisonous snake, after humans and animals are bitten by it, they quickly coma to death, and it is generally too late to rescue.
After Zhao Zhi's death, his son, Zhao Langzhen's grandfather, Zhao Wenxin, planned to use the jade cup as his father's funeral object.
Lang Zhong, who had examined Zhao Zhi's body, quietly told him: "Your father's death may be related to the jade cup, but I don't know what it has to do with it." ”
In this way, Zhao Wenxin left the jade cup and invited many strangers to check it carefully, but he never found a problem. One night, he was alone in his study with a jade cup, flipping through it. Suddenly, a masked man floated from the ridge of the roof and swung his sword at the jade cup, cutting it in half. Zhao Wenxin was shocked and angry, drew his sword and fought with the masked man. After a fierce fight, the masked man was injured and left, and snatched half of the jade cup. Zhao Wenxin was seriously injured and was unable to catch up.
Afterwards, Zhao Wenxin investigated in many ways, but finally did not find the half of the jade cup that was snatched.
Before he died, Zhao Wenxin instructed his son, who was Zhao Langzhen's father. As a result, Zhao Langzhen's father failed to complete the matter.
Recalling this, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Langzhen's mouth.
He muttered to himself: "Great-grandfather, great-grandfather, if your death is indeed related to this jade cup, I will definitely ......
Before he finished speaking, he felt a strong wind hitting his head, and Zhao Lang really screamed badly, so he quickly dodged to the side. When he stabilized his figure, he found a masked man standing opposite, the cold tip of his sword against his throat.
The masked man stretched out a hand: "I don't want to hurt you, I just want the jade cup in your hand!" ”
Zhao Lang really felt that this person's voice was a little familiar, and after a little thought, he remembered it, and was suddenly shocked and angry: "You are the shopkeeper of Cheng Bao Zhai." You've followed me all the way here just for the Jade Cup? ”
"Now that you hear me, I won't hide my identity."
The masked man sneered and said, "I opened an antique shop and put half of the jade cup on it, just to find the other half of the jade cup." As long as anyone is willing to buy it at a high price, it means that he is likely to have the other half of the collection, as I expected. To tell you the truth, although this jade cup is extremely beautifully made, it is a harmful thing. You will only bring you trouble if you keep it, or give it to me, and I will destroy it in front of you. ”
Zhao Langzhen heard him say that the jade cup was a harmful thing, and his heart moved, and he deliberately asked in confusion: "How can such a good jade cup be a harmful thing?" ”
The masked man sighed: "Although this is a big secret, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you, anyway, I will destroy it and not let it hurt people again." This jade cup has been soaked in a special medicine for a long time, and after the wine is poured in, the medicine that penetrates into the cup is mixed with the wine, and it will emit a smell that people cannot smell, but it can attract a highly poisonous snake. Therefore, when drinking with this cup, if there is such a poisonous snake within a radius of a few zhang, the person who drinks is very dangerous. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Langzhen shook his hand and slammed the jade cup on the ground, his expression extremely sad: "Great-grandfather, great-grandfather, you were really killed by your friend." ”
The masked man was taken aback: "You are the descendant of General Zhao Zhi?" How is that possible? Decades ago, the Zhao family was confiscated by the imperial court, and the whole family was assigned to Lingnan. Are these all fake? ”
