Chapter 579 Southern Xinjiang, Blood Jade
"Nope."
The little young woman shook her head slightly, her cheeks also glowing with doubt.
Around the tax and silver case of that year, it seems that many mysteries have been revealed.
But after careful analysis, it is still foggy.
First of all, why did the Xu family create this tax and silver case back then? Is it just to replace Lord Xu with someone else?
But it is clear that this Lord Xu has chosen to cooperate with the Xu family, why is it still difficult to escape death?
Secondly, what did the Xu family and Zhou Zaixing spend so much time for?
Later, Zhou Zaixing was replaced by Lin Chunqiu, is it part of the plan?
In the end, what kind of big net did the Xu family lay, and it is still difficult to find the clues?
Yang Dong had a feeling of being in the fog.
But then he put his mind at ease again, first of all, no matter what, the current court has fallen into the hands of the empress.
Moreover, the students of Lanxiang Academy are making a steady stream of blood for the court, and some of the key positions have also been replaced by the empress with the first batch of outstanding students of Lanxiang Academy.
It can be said that the empress has now completely controlled the situation in the court.
And with the brave army in charge, coupled with the empress's wrist, it is only a matter of time before the Praetorian Guards near the capital return to their hearts.
As long as there is no change in the capital and the court, the other Yang Dong doesn't care.
As for those things on the rivers and lakes, they will not affect the overall situation at present.
Thinking of this, Yang Dong's originally hanging heart gradually let go. But at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
"Yang Gong, there's an accident over there in Gujing!"
"What!?"
Yang Dong's face changed, and he rushed towards the location of the ancient well.
At this moment, the boulder on the ancient well has cracked countless cracks.
This is accompanied by a very rhythmic crashing sound.
"Bang ......"
"Bang ......"
The surrounding agents of the West Factory subconsciously clenched the long knives in their hands and waited for them.
Yu Xiaoyu also came closer, staring at the boulder on the ancient well, and his cheeks showed a rare touch of seriousness.
"Master, what the hell is down here?"
"A corpse."
Yang Dong's tone was very calm, but he took a long knife from the hand of a secret agent of the West Factory.
"It can't be!"
Yu Xiaoyu subconsciously vetoed, he stared at the boulder on the ancient well, and continued:
"Don't say it's the Great Zhou, even if you look at the Great Qin and Houjin, there is absolutely no secret technique to bring the corpse back to life."
"Master, are you sure this thing is really a corpse?"
"Why don't you go down and have a look?"
Yang Dong glanced at Yu Xiaoyu angrily, but his eyes also showed a look of doubt.
He has been in Da Zhou for half a year, and he already has a certain understanding of this world.
Although it seems that this world is quite mysterious, it actually follows a certain law.
For example, a martial artist cultivates the power of qi and blood, so that he becomes more powerful, even far better than ordinary people.
But this power of qi and blood, to put it bluntly, is just a strengthened version of internal force.
And those sophists I met in Youzhou at the beginning, although they did not practice the power of qi and blood, they were actually a similar thing.
As for the secret technique of awakening the dead, it has defied common sense.
Yang Dong always felt that there must be some details that he ignored.
"Someone, move the boulder out of the way!"
Yang Dong gave an order, and the two secret agents of the West Factory closest to Gujing couldn't help but glance at each other.
But without the slightest hesitation, they stretched out their hands and held the edges and corners of the boulder.
But just as they were about to exert themselves, there was suddenly another heavy impact!
At this moment, the boulder, which was already full of cracks, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and with a "click", it shattered into countless fragments of different sizes.
The two secret agents of the West Factory were instantly forced to retreat to both sides by this huge force.
Yang Dong had a gloomy face, and unconsciously clenched the long knife in his hand.
However......
At the same time, a rotting corpse slowly crawled out of the mouth of the ancient well.
At this moment, the bones of its two hands had already been shattered, and there were several cracks on the skull.
But even so, it still aimed its empty eye sockets at Yang Dong, as if it was staring at him!
This scene instantly made the hair of the people present stand upside down. Even Yang Dong's face was extremely gloomy.
He didn't choose to do it, but wanted to see what the carrion would do next.
Who knew that the carrion corpse suddenly opened its mouth wide, and even stretched out the carrion on the left and right, revealing the gray-white bones hidden under the carrion.
Just as Yang Dong and the others were waiting for the rotting corpse to attack.
The rotting corpse tilted its head and did not move, and the whole corpse hung on the edge of the ancient well, motionless.
In this way, it probably took a stick of incense.
Yu Xiaoyu swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and asked with some uncertainty:
"Master, isn't it...... He's dead? ”
Yang Dong frowned, urging the power of qi and blood in his body to attach to the rotting corpse.
Then he was surprised to find that the carrion seemed to be really "dead", without any energy fluctuations on its body.
He hesitated, and picked at the skull of the carrion with the tip of his knife.
Unexpectedly, the rotting corpse had already decayed, and with a slight pick of the tip of the knife, the skull flew out at once.
After flying out a few feet away, it "snapped", fell to the ground, and fell in half.
At the same time, a piece of broken blood jade, exposed to the sun.
"It's ......"
Yu Xiaoyu frowned, and asked with some uncertainty:
"Is it possible...... This is the blood jade of Southern Xinjiang? ”
"Southern Xinjiang Blood Jade?"
Yang Dong repeated, and then looked at Yu Xiaoyu beside him.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaoyu immediately opened his mouth and explained:
"Yang Gong didn't know that this blood jade was a unique product of southern Xinjiang. It has always been regarded as a tribute to the royal family. The First Emperor, in particular, seemed to be extremely fond of this blood jade. ”
"I also saw my father being ordered to escort the blood jade back to Beijing, so I realized this thing."
It was only later, with the enthronement of the current saint, that he chose to take a light account and recuperate. In recent years, southern Xinjiang has never paid tribute to the palace. ”
Yang Dong bowed slightly, but the doubts in his eyes were even worse.
This is the boundary of Jiangnan, why is there a blood jade in southern Xinjiang?
He thought for a moment, then gently picked up the shattered blood jade on the ground.
At the same time, he felt a special energy that was gradually disappearing......
Could it be ...... The actions of this carrion corpse rely on the energy on the blood jade?
After a slight groan, he wrapped the fragments of the blood jade with the power of qi and blood, thus preventing this special energy from dissipating.
It seems that this trip to Jiangnan may not be as simple as I thought.
Yang Dong thought about it for a while and decided to ask the capital for help.
Hong Lao Liu has received so many benefits from himself, isn't it time to move?
