Chapter 11: Destiny
Le Su nodded, confirming Ma Qian's guess: "Destiny, what is destined...... That's pretty much what it means. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Then we can't be reincarnated in our dreams anymore?" Marcy said disappointedly.
Le Su is actually a person who is quite afraid of trouble, but looking at the other party's eyes, he wavered, and reluctantly pretended to smile and said, "It should be okay this time, let's try it tomorrow night." ”
"Great! Somehow I specifically wanted to figure this out. Marcy said happily.
"Me too." Lesu said something against his will.
The next night, the two tied the red thread of fate as they did last time, and Le Su took the lead to the destination, and after gaining a firm foothold, Marsie followed.
However, the place where the two went was obviously not a place in the Qing Dynasty, Le Su caught a deserter, and after torture, he learned that it was Dong Zhuo who made a rebellion, set fire to Luoyang City, and fled to Chang'an.
And this is the outskirts of Luoyang after the chaos, after Le Su figured it out, he found a rich family to "borrow" some money to buy clothes for himself and Ma Qian.
"Since we made a mistake, then let's go back, it's not a peaceful year, and there's nothing to see." Marcy said puzzled.
"Although the age is wrong, we can also trace the truth of the Art of War, we found Cao Cao's station, and he annotated the Art of War to see what version he had." Lesu explained.
"I see." It dawned on Marsie and she went to pick out clothes.
After the two of them changed into the costumes of the ancients, they were a little less conspicuous, and then sneaked into Cao Cao's room, taking advantage of no one to rummage around, anyway, the two of them didn't stay long before they went back, they didn't have to worry about being wanted, and they didn't have time to take a closer look.
At this time, Cao Cao was not a big person, and the temporary residence he was assigned was relatively simple, and there were no books in it, and the two of them searched for a long time and did not see "The Art of War".
"It seems that at this time, Cao Cao has not yet begun to annotate Sun Tzu's Art of War, or has done it but has not brought it out in battle." Lesu judged.
"There's no other way, let's go to the market, maybe find it in a bookstore or something." Marcy suggested.
"Now there is a shortage of soldiers, and it is easy to be checked when running around, and the small place where we bought clothes just now may be safer, but there should be no books like "The Art of War" for sale. In fact, if there was no big man like Cao Cao to annotate the book, "The Art of War" might have been lost for thousands of years like Sun Bin's military book. ”
"Why don't you go to other people's tents and take a look, maybe you can find some clues."
"This is also a bit difficult, even if we find the eighty-two articles of "The Art of War", it is difficult to see whether it is a dog's tail and a mink, and if we find the thirteen articles of "The Art of War", we cannot conclude that there is no high-level eighty-two articles and nine volumes of complete editions."
Le Su said the truth, Ma Qian couldn't think of any other way, she was silent for a moment, she shook her head and said, "It seems that there is nothing to be done, let's go back." ”
"Since you have arrived at this place, it shouldn't be a helpless ......" Le Su suddenly thought: "You just said that other people's tents, maybe Sun Jian has "The Art of War" there. ”
"Why? Is it because of the surname Sun? There was a sarcasm in Marsie's words.
"Exactly!" Le Su explained: "Sun Jian may also be a descendant of Sun Tzu, but this information is very uncertain, but since you are here, let's go and see!" Even if it is not, it is possible to pretend to be yes, and even if it is not pretended, it is possible to collect military books because of the same surname, and the collection of military books must be carefully selected. ”
Ma Qian understood what Le Su meant, "That is to say, if Sun Jian's collection is the thirteen chapters of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", then eighty-two articles are made up, and the quality is not flattering." If the collection is eighty-two and nine volumes, then thirteen are incomplete. ”
Le Su nodded and added, "Sun Jian is also a successful general, he should have this ability to judge." ”
Sun Jian is currently leading his army to be stationed in the palace in the south of Luoyang City, so the two sneaked into Sun Jian's room again.
In fact, Dong Zhuo had already fled at this time, so the defense of the coalition forces was not too tight, and even so, it was not so easy for ordinary people to sneak in, but Le Su was obviously not an ordinary person.
Marcy and Le Su rummaged through again, and soon found a large pile of books, which they immediately flipped through quickly, and suddenly shouted at the same time:
"I found it, it's thirteen (eighty-two)!"
The two looked at each other for a moment, immediately understood each other's meaning, and exchanged books a few times, it turned out that Sun Jian had collected two different versions of "The Art of War".
In fact, there are more than two books, Sun Jian has collected a lot of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", most of them are in these two versions, although I don't know if he is a descendant of Sun Wu, but Sun Jian definitely respects this ancestor with the same surname very much.
In this way, it seems that the thirteen articles of "The Art of War" are still very classic, but it cannot be said that the eighty-two articles of "The Art of War" are dog-tailed mink, but after comparison, it is found that the eighty-two articles of the Zhang family version collected by Sun Zhengyi are purely forgeries.
"It seems that the Art of War in nine volumes of eighty-two chapters and pictures is still lost." Ma Qian said disappointedly, "After you go back, don't tell Uncle Sun about this~"
"I understand." Le Su got up and said, "Now that we've figured it out, let's find a quiet place......
Before Le Su finished speaking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside!
"How can there be light there?!"
"General, there is a vision in the well!"
The man known as the general went to the well, observed it for a while, and asked his men to go down and have a look......
After a while, there was a scream of "ah-" from the well.
The people above were so frightened that they retreated, and only the general who was the leader was calmer.
"What are you afraid of! Can there be ghosts in broad daylight?! After the lesson, the general shouted to the well: "What is going on next? ”
"Back to the general, there is a woman's body down there."
"Pull it up!"
This is the corpse of a palace maid, the corpse wears a brocade bag around its neck, open it to see, inside the brocade is a small vermilion box locked with a gold lock, open the small box, there is a jade seal inside.
The jade seal is four inches in circumference, and there are five dragons on the New York, and there are eight bird-shaped seal characters engraved on the front: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity", and the jade seal is missing a small corner, which is inlaid with gold.
The general immediately understood that this was the "heirloom jade seal", and when he obtained such a treasure, he was first overjoyed in his heart, and then an excited expression appeared on his face.
Although the Qin Empire did not last long, the jade seal of the country was passed down as a token of "divine power of imperial power" and became a symbol of "orthodoxy and legitimacy".
Providence is so, he may be the one to whom Destiny belongs!
