Chapter Seventy-One: The Place of Origin
The scorching heat of the summer sun was obscured by the fluttering and swaying leaves outside the window. The mottled shadows of the leaves scattered on the vermilion wood on the window door, and the crisp and dusty cicadas chirp, add a little smart fun to this annoying afternoon.
Yang Jian looked at the scene outside the window, thoughtful. Suddenly, a snow-white carrier pigeon landed on the plain windowsill like a dragonfly. And Yang Jian's shallow thoughts were pulled into reality by this pigeon named Piaoxue.
"I didn't expect my little brother Nezha to make progress so quickly." Yang Jian thought.
Stretched out his hand, gently untied the letterbox at the foot of the drifting snow, opened the letterbox, unfolded the rolling paper, and what the letter said was indeed as Yang Jian expected.
And the thick black sword eyebrows that had just been locked tightly became unconsciously stretched. Piaoxue, who had completed the task, was still hesitating on the windowsill, his eyes overflowing with aura, as if he was staring at Yang Jian's behavior.
Yang Jian put down the letter box and saw the scene in front of him. slapped his forehead with his hand and blamed himself: "Oh, look at my memory, little girl, how can Brother Yang treat you badly." ”
After that, Yang Jian took out a piece of glutinous rice from the pre-prepared red sandalwood food box. Put it in the palm of your hand and send it to the eyes of the snow. Piaoxue saw the glutinous rice balls and feasted without any scruples. After a while, a whole piece of glutinous rice ball was eaten. Without waiting for Yang Jian to reach out and touch its white feathers, the drifting snow turned around and jumped into the blue sky in the afternoon.
"Every time I finish eating, I turn my head and run away, let Brother Yang touch you what's wrong." Yang Jian joked to himself.
The next day, Yang Jian took more than a dozen people, disguised as medicinal herb vendors, and pushed a cart full of medicinal herbs towards the capital of the Qin State.
After a stormy trek, Yang Jian finally joined Nezha at the location indicated.
After Nezha, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Yang Jian, he couldn't wait to bring him into the prepared room, which was filled with the aroma of wine.
Nezha was full of smiles and said eagerly: "Brother Yang, I rushed to Qin State with a cart, but I really have you, I'm hungry, do you see, this table full of wine and delicacies, I haven't moved a single basket, just waiting for you." ”
Yang Jian patted Nezha's shoulder, sat down with relief, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, our little brother Nezha has matured a lot, and he has nothing to do, he is either a traitor or a thief, let's say, how much do you want?" ”
Nezha touched the back of his head and laughed ashamedly.
"Brother Yang, look at what you said, I have already listened to what you explained to me. I don't think it's interesting to wait for you, so I just wander around the streets of Qindu, taste snacks, drink small tea, and then there is not much money left. ”
Yang Jian drank by himself, deliberately lowered his voice, and asked, "Didn't you do anything else?" If you don't explain honestly, you won't give a dime of silver! ”
Nezha couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to say: "I saw a gambling house, and my hands were itchy for a while, so I gambled a few handfuls, and the silver was gone. ”
Yang Jian continued to ask, "Then where did the money for this meal come from?" ”
Nezha continued to hesitate and said, "Before you came, it was temporarily recorded in your account. ”
After Yang Jian heard this, the wine bottle hovering in the air was immediately placed on the table. got up, picked up the feather duster by the windowsill, and was about to pump it on Nezha's body.
Nezha saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately ran around the table, and Yang Jian kept chasing after him.
Nezha was forced to beg for mercy and said, "Brother Yang, I was wrong, I will never gamble again, I promise this is the last time." ”
After only a few laps, the fatigue of the multi-day journey made Yang Jian begin to breathe. Then he sat down and threw the silver bag on the table, "How much?" Hurry up and redeem the Qiankun circle, we have big things to do in two days! ”
Nezha was timid, grinning, and said, "It's just five taels of silver", and carefully took out ten taels of silver from Yang Jian's silver bag, "I'll go and redeem it, and I will never delay our big event." After saying that, he wanted to run away from the door.
Yang Jian quickly lowered his voice and added, "By the way, let's investigate the latest deployment of troops in the Qin State. ”
Nezha, who had sharp ears, heard it and said, "I promise to complete the task." Then he closed the door.
It wasn't until midnight that Nezha returned to his residence.
Yang Jian: "It's all surveyed?" ”
Nezha then told Yang Jian about the deployment of troops guarding each city gate.
Yang Jian: "We will choose to take action at midnight on the day of the war between Qin and Chu Han, and at that time, the patrol guards of Qin will go to support the defense, so we will take advantage of this opportunity to make a decisive move." ”
A few days later, the Qin State was indeed outside the city gate, and the invading Chu and Han soldiers were fighting.
couldn't help but say that Yang Jian and Nezha took advantage of the chaos to deceive the remote city gate, subdued the only guards, and smoothly led people into the Qin Palace. When he went to the place where the wreckage of the ark was kept, he found that there was no guard.
Taking advantage of the moonless night, Yang Jian and his entourage filled the cart with all the wreckage, and then successfully joined the people who responded outside the palace and transported the wreckage out of the palace. In this way, Yang Jian and Nezha easily stole the long-lost wreckage.
After returning to the place of origin, Jiang Ziya threw away the fishing rod when he heard the news, and went to check whether what Yang Jian had stolen was true or not.
Nezha said: "Grandpa Jiang, you can see clearly, these treasures are all stolen back by me and Brother Yang at the risk of our lives, so you can't make a mistake!" ”
After Jiang Ziya carefully inspected, he nodded with satisfaction, stroked his gray hair, and said slowly: "You kid, you make fun of your Grandpa Jiang again, remember to go to me to get fish when you look back, the wild fish you just caught today is fat." ”
