Volume 8: The Mystery of the Ancient Tomb is chaotic life and death, and the people of today are clever and vengeful (4,000 chapters) Volume 8 Chapter 61: Killer Armor, Nanzhao
Many years ago, when he had not yet joined the Three Puritans, his name was Wang Siji.
But on the day he followed his master, a red-hot soldering iron slammed down on his chest, and from then on, he lost his name.
Killer A looked at the stark word "A" on his chest, and he understood that he had become the slave of the young man in front of him from now on.
Three Puritans, the Son. The identity of the young man seemed to be very noble, and the killer armor endured the severe pain and saluted the young man.
"When the ......" the young man dropped the soldering iron, a nervous smile appeared on his childish face, and he pressed the head of the killer armor:
"You are my first killer, I will teach you the most powerful martial arts and the most ruthless methods in the world, and in less than ten years, you will be able to run rampant in the world. And I just need you to do one thing - help me become the head of the Three Puritans. ”
At the time of these words, the boy was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, but his tone was so natural that it seemed that what he decided would definitely be realized.
Juvenile ambition seems to be beyond the fit of the whole world.
Ambitious people often have the confidence to be in control, and they can give without hesitation in order to achieve their goals.
At this time, the killer armor became the object of the Sanqing Holy Son's payment.
Killer looked up at his master.
The boy waited for his most loyal subordinate.
Killer Armor sees a leader worth following.
The master and servant have only known each other for a stick of incense, but at this time they smiled at the same time.
…………
"Boom!" In a certain rudder of Sanqing, there was a loud noise, the entire building collapsed in an instant, screams came one after another, gunpowder smoke billowed out, and a strong smell of gunpowder wafted over.
Hua Zhenge looked at the prospect, closed his eyes intoxicated, and after enjoying the film, he waved his hand:
"Go!"
"Yes!" His men agreed in unison, raising their blades and rushing towards the ruins.
"You don't have to go." A deep voice came, and Hua Zhenge opened his eyes, revealing his signature nervous smile:
"It's still you who do things, I'm most assured, these minions combined, can't compare to half of your toes."
"Isn't that wrong?" The person who came raised his arm and carried a human head:
"He's going to be a little trickier, and it took him seven tricks to take it."
"Make no mistake, it's this old crumb." Hua Zhenge looked at the human head and said hatefully:
"What is he? Dare to call the Holy Son? Take it down, chop it a little bit and feed it to the dogs! ”
"Yes!" One of his men immediately complied, and when he took the head from the man's hand, the man chuckled flatteringly:
"Boss A, so handsome kung fu."
"Do things for your master, and you can too." Boss A patted his subordinate on the shoulder, then bowed to Hua Zhenge and stood aside.
"Hahaha!" Hua Zhenge was obviously in a good mood, and he smiled:
"From now on, there will be only one son in the Three Puritans......"
"Congratulations to the master!" The subordinates said in unison, but Boss A was silent.
Seeing this, Hua Zhenge frowned and said:
"What are you thinking?"
Boss A was blunt:
"I'm wondering what reward I should ask my master for."
"You have followed me for five years and killed hundreds of people for me, and now in the Sanqing Sect, except for the sect leader, I am respected......" Hua Zhenge said happily:
"Say it, but if you ask for something, you won't allow it."
Boss A thought for a moment, and then bowed:
"I want to learn business."
"How much does it cost?"
"One million taels of silver."
"When you go back, look for me to get it."
…………
The capital of Nanzhao Kingdom.
Ordinary people in the streets and alleys flocked out of their homes, carrying their money and rushing to the market.
The latest news this morning, Boss Jia's latest batch of goods has arrived again.
Miao Jiang is already in the southwest border of the world, but Nanzhao is farther west and south than Miao Jiang.
In recent years, the world has been in turmoil and wars, but Nanzhao has not been affected at all, and has been produced as usual.
But Xanadu has the advantage of not being affected by the war, and naturally there are disadvantages - Nanzhao, which is located in a remote area and is closed all year round, has long lagged far behind the outside world after hundreds of years of development.
It wasn't until Boss Jia came here with a caravan in sight that he injected new blood into Nanzhaoguo.
Boss Jia, a big businessman from the Yi Dynasty in the Central Plains, brought countless books and classics, agricultural utensils, and rare specialties to Nanzhao...... As soon as his caravan arrived in Nanzhao, it was looted.
It is strange to say that there is always only Boss Jia who resells the goods from the Central Plains to Nanzhao, and the rest of the people have also done it sporadically a few times, but often they do it once, and then they disappear and are never seen again.
Strange to say, after these people disappeared, their goods would reappear the next time Boss Jia arrived, but this time, they were sold under the name of the Jia family's firm.
So Nanzhao began to have rumors - Boss Jia seems to be just an ordinary businessman, but in fact, he kills people and sells goods behind his back, and the other businessmen who disappeared were ...... by him
However, this statement was soon confirmed to be a rumor - the reason was that at a banquet of the princes and nobles of Nanzhao, Boss Jia was drunk and spit out the truth and inadvertently mentioned his identity.
Boss Jia is the royal family of the Yi Dynasty in the Central Plains, and in the entire Yi Dynasty and Kyushu, only his Jia family caravan can legally enter and exit Nanzhao, and the rest of the merchants will be characterized as smuggling by the imperial court.
How can a dignified royal family do the act of killing people and overselling goods? When the residents of Nanzhao heard about this secret, they laughed and said.
Boss Jia's identity soon spread all over Nanzhao, although he vigorously denied it after he woke up, saying that he was talking nonsense in the end, but as the saying goes, "the more you describe, the darker it becomes", where is everyone willing to believe this statement?
Moreover, there was more than one Nanzhao official who showed him the customs clearance document of the caravan at that time, which was clearly covered with the jade seal of the Yi Dynasty Emperor, and the title of Boss Jia was "Jia Qing".
The news spread more and more, and in the end, even His Majesty the King of Nanzhao was alarmed, he anxiously found Boss Jia, and the first sentence he said was:
"Boss Jia, does the behavior of your caravan represent the attitude of your imperial court?"
In the eyes of every Nanzhao person, the land in the east known as the "Central Plains" is full of mystery.
The Central Plains Yi Dynasty, only at the time of the founding of the country, sent an edict to the Southern Zhao, declaring that he was the co-ruler of the Central Plains, and for hundreds of years after that, the two countries no longer had any contact.
And Boss Jia, who came all the way to Nanzhao to do business, is not the pathfinder of the Yi Dynasty court?
In the face of the king's questioning, Boss Jia finally stopped hiding it, generously admitted his identity, and promised that the next time he came to Nanzhao, he would bring the message of the Emperor of the Yi Dynasty......
Today, Boss Jia's caravan arrived as scheduled, and the quality and quantity of the goods were excellent, which attracted countless residents to rush wildly, and everyone exchanged for their favorite goods, all of them were elated.
At this time, it was rumored that he had just seen Boss Jia enter the palace with his own eyes.
Sure enough, he brought the message of the Emperor of the Yi Dynasty.
The next day, the entire Nanzhao Kingdom knew the content of the edict:
From now on, the Yi Dynasty and the Nanzhao Dynasty will be united in the same breath, help each other, and will always be a brotherly state.
…………
Hearing this, Elder Miao Jiangbai couldn't help but interject:
"How did you get to Nanzhao? Does this have anything to do with our Lord Miao? ”
Jiang Xiaoshu smiled:
"Of course it matters, Elder Bai don't be anxious, let me ask you, how much do you know about the Yi Dynasty just mentioned?"
Elder Bai replied without hesitation:
"Of course, the Yi Dynasty was the communist lord of the Central Plains before your Great Qin, and it was destroyed more than three hundred years ago. They established diplomatic relations with Nanzhao, but I'm afraid it's an earlier thing......"
"Not bad," Jiang Xiaoshu nodded, then shook his head:
"It's a pity that Elder Bai is wrong."
"Oh? Which point? ”
"The story of the killer armor did not happen three or four hundred years ago at all, but a hundred years ago."
A hundred years ago?
Everyone looked at each other: a hundred years ago, when Great Qin had been founded for more than 200 years, where was there any Yi Dynasty?
Jiang Xiaoshu said in a deep voice:
"Yes, the Three Qing Sect anti-thieves are composed of the remnants of the Yi Dynasty, they refuse to recognize the position of the co-ruler of the Great Qin, but instead claim to be orthodox and make waves everywhere!"
"Is that so?" At this time, not only the Miao Jiang tribes were surprised, but even the Great Qin generals were also shocked.
"I've heard of the Three Puritans, but it's only in the last few years, I can't imagine that they have existed for so long?" Zhou Lijin sighed.
Jiang Xiaoshu took out a stack of documents from his arms and handed them to Zhou Lijin and Elder Bai:
"Look, you two, this is the letter I seized in the tomb of King Miao, and the three Qing sects called the leader 'Lord', and the seal used in this Lord's letter is the jade seal of the Emperor of the Yi Dynasty."
The two took the document and took a look, and sure enough, they found that a person named "Chiming" exchanged letters with the "Lord", which happened to be the story of the killer armor, which was consistent with what Jiang Xiaoshu said.
And at the end of the Lord's epistle, there is a big seal, on which the book "Ten thousand laws are natural, heaven and man are one", and finally Yi Dynasty, always advocating the Taoist idea of "ruling by doing nothing", and even the jade seal is engraved with corresponding words.
Although Elder Bai was not a very knowledgeable person, these eight words were completely different from Daqin's "Ordered by the heavens, and he lived forever", and he could still see it at a glance.
Later, Elder Bai noticed that although they were properly preserved, many of these letters were still yellowed and had been left for at least three to five years, and there was no possibility of forgery.
Elder Bai nodded:
"These letters are not false, it seems that these three Qingjiao are indeed the remnants of the Yi Dynasty, but I still don't understand - what does the story of this killer armor have to do with our Miao Jiang."
Jiang Xiaoshu nodded:
"This is exactly what I'm going to say next - there is a great relationship between Killer Armor and Miao Jiang, and it can even be said that the death of King Xiangshan Tianmiao back then was single-handedly facilitated by him!"
So they pricked up their ears and listened quietly.
…………
It is said that after the establishment of diplomatic relations between Yi and Nanzhao, Boss Jia became the guest of honor of Nanzhao.
Nanzhao is located in a remote place, the country is weak, the king of Nanzhao thinks about how to prosper day and night, and at this time, the Central Plains Yi Dynasty took the initiative to visit, how not to teach him to be ecstatic?
He found the best wine and delicacies, a cart of silk and satin and several beautiful concubines, all of which were sent to Boss Jia.
But the next morning, these things were returned to the palace as they were.
King Nanzhao didn't even put on his shoes and socks, so he ran to the palace gate.
"This, this, what does Boss Jia mean?"
"Your Majesty's good intentions, Jia has already understood it, please ask His Majesty the King to take these things back."
"Huh? Boss Jia doesn't like it? ”
"No, in normal times, when he sees these things, where would Jia refuse, but he didn't give enough...... But now, since Jia represents the royal family of the Yi Dynasty, if he accepts His Majesty's reward again, it will be a bad etiquette. ”
"No, no, no, it's just a little heart, Boss Jia doesn't have to take it to heart, just accept it with peace of mind......"
"Your Majesty's friendship with our dynasty can be learned from heaven and earth, after Jia returns to the court, he will definitely report to the emperor truthfully, and the friendship between the two countries will be able to last for a long time...... As for this gift, please take it back from Your Majesty. ”
After saying that, Boss Jia took a deep look and drifted away.
King Nanzhao was stunned for a long time before pulling a eunuch:
"What did Boss Jia just say?"
"Boss Jia said that from now on, the friendship between Yi Chao and Nanzhao will be very long......"
"It will be a long time, it will be a long time......," King Nanzhao repeated several times, and then said:
"Fold these gifts into silver grain and distribute them to the people of the city in the name of Boss Jia."
Three days later, every household in the capital of Nanzhao had a few extra bags of fine grain and a little broken silver, and they put their hands together and prayed to the heavens that Boss Jia would live a long life and be safe......
The status of Boss Jia and Yi Chao has been raised to an unprecedented height in the hearts of the people of Nanzhao, almost equating with "orthodoxy" and "brightness".
Later, it was rumored that one day, an outsider came to the palace of Nanzhao, and His Majesty the king talked to him for less than a stick of incense, so he was furious and sent someone to expel him from Nanzhao.
King Nanzhao scolded:
"What is the Central Plains Communist? You thieves dare to be emperors? As soon as the Yi Dynasty army arrives, it will wipe you all out in a blink of an eye...... Tell your master that we in Nanzhao do not welcome you rebels! Get the hell out of here. ”
Everyone laughed at the expelled guy for being a madman, and he was still talking nonsense when he was taken out of the palace, saying that the Yi Dynasty had been destroyed for more than 200 years, and where was the army......
Later, Boss Jia learned of this, so he transported another batch of goods, without taking a penny, and directly gave them to Nanzhao, and brought the holy decree of the Emperor of the Yi Dynasty:
"Qin is rampant, disturbing the Quartet, Nanzhao drove away its messengers, and the sharp spirit of Qin Zhengwu, the leader of the bandits...... Special order Jia Qing brought a number of gifts to each other, in order to discipline the intersection of the two countries. ”
Since then, Boss Jia's status in the entire Nanzhao Kingdom has become more and more transcendent, except for His Majesty the King, everyone will spontaneously salute when they see him.
…………
Qin Zhengwu!
Hearing this name, everyone's eyes widened, and Zhou Lijin asked tentatively:
"Gongzi Jiang, this Qin ...... Which one is it? ”
When he said the man's name, he stopped.
For His Holiness.
Jiang Xiaoshu nodded:
"Yes, the envoy who was driven out by Nanzhao at that time was the envoy of our Great Qin, and the Emperor of Great Qin at that time was Emperor Yongshuo, and he was famous for his conquest and martial arts!"
