In the capital city, in the Nuan Pavilion.
The floor heating makes the whole pavilion warm and very comfortable. You only need to wear thin clothes when sitting inside.
Lu Yuanding was a little embarrassed, because when he came, he wore enough clothes. It was suitable to resist the cold wind outside, but after entering the Nuan Pavilion, these clothes became a burden on him, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Hot.
The sweat on my back had already soaked my clothes.
"Master Lu, do you want to change your clothes?" Yang Ruoqing noticed Lu Yuanding's discomfort and reminded him.
"No need..." Lu Yuanding shook his head and refused.
"Madam, let's talk about this ancient painting." Lu Yuanding's expression became serious.
"Master Lu, please speak." Yang Ruoqing said.
"Ma'am, please take a look at this ancient painting."
Lu Yuanding opened the scroll and slowly unfolded it, revealing the contents inside.
"Xia Tu of the Southern Dynasties."
The first thing that catches the eye are these four words, "Xia Tu in the Southern Dynasties." Obviously, this ancient painting is from the last unified dynasty, the Southern Dynasties, but these four words were probably not written by people at that time.
After all, when the dynasty was in power, it was almost impossible to directly write the name of the dynasty.
The greatest possibility of writing the name of a dynasty is that that dynasty is in the past.
"Master Lu, at first glance, there is not much that is surprising about this painting."
Yang Ruoqing glanced at the content of the scroll. It was probably a courtyard, surrounded by lotus ponds, and winding bridges winding over the pond. But inside the courtyard, there was a lady, gorgeously dressed, with a beautiful face, and holding a hand in her white hands. She was wearing a fan with a round handle and a casual look on her face.
Generally speaking, this should be a picture of a noble lady from the Southern Dynasty spending the summer in her back house. There really is nothing special about it from the surface.
"Mrs. Yang, if you don't understand the history of the Southern Dynasties, you won't be able to see the clues in this scroll..." Lu Yuanding paused.
"Appreciate further details."
"Madam, there once was a powerful emperor in the Southern Dynasties. His posthumous title was Emperor Nanwu. He was wise and martial, and fought in the south and north. He completely brought the southern barbarians under his command. However, the beautiful nomadic tribes in the north were destroyed by Emperor Nanwu's soldiers."
"Madam may not know much about this Xianli tribe, but in fact they were not really exterminated. One of them escaped to the far north and was later renamed Tuoba, which is the predecessor of the Daliao royal family today."
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows slightly, her face slightly moved.
She didn't take the previous words to heart about Emperor Nanwu, but that Xianli clan was actually the ancestor of Daliao, which was amazing.
Yang Ruoqing had personally seen the power of the Tuoba clan in Daliao.
It is true that Daliao is not as wealthy as Daqi, but because the region is relatively cold and bitter, Tuoba people have grown up on horses. They can become a cavalry with just a little training. If they really want to fight, Daqi will probably not be their opponent.
Being able to destroy Xianli, one can imagine the demeanor of Emperor Nanwu back then.
But, what is the connection between Emperor Nanwu and this scroll?
"Madam must be thinking about the connection between Emperor Nanwu and the scroll. In fact, there is a great connection between them."
Lu Yuanding said: "The woman painted on this scroll is Emperor Nanwu's favorite concubine, Mrs. Yuzhu!"
"Madam, please look at the bead hanging around Mrs. Yuzhu's neck. There is a legend about this bead. It was born with Mrs. Yuzhu. According to historical records, Mrs. Yuzhu was born with a bead in her mouth. She was born noble."
Born with a pearl in its mouth?
Yang Ruoqing was born when she thought of Baoyu holding a jade in her mouth. This really happened in history.
The history of this world is very obscure, and the words are all written in ancient Chinese characters. Yang Ruoqing actually doesn't know much about it.
"Madam should also know this story. I see in Madam's book there is a jade with a jade in it." Lu Yuanding said.
Yang Ruoqing was a little ashamed.
The book was not actually written by her. She was young at that time and wanted to make money, so she transferred words from another world.
However, even if she says now that she didn't write it, it won't work. She can only make mistakes.
She put her eyes on the jade beads and felt they looked familiar.
The smooth and moist jade beads look a bit like the Yuan beads she got.
The Yuanzhu was the reason why she came to this world, but it was gray and lacked any luster. However, the Yuanzhu in the memory of the Queen of the Southern Dynasties was smooth.
Could it be that Mrs. Yuzhu’s jade beads are Yuanzhu? This idea is a bit ridiculous.
"Master Lu continued to ask, what secrets does this picture have?" Yang Ruoqing said.
"The secret is right here!"
Lu Yuanding moved his fingers along where Mrs. Yuanzhu was looking, and finally moved to a nearby rock.
The rock formations are rugged and look like rockery for the scenery.
"Madam, is there a fire here?" Lu Yuanding raised his eyes and asked.
"Yes, Hongxiu, go get a fire seal." Yang Ruoqing said.
"Yes, ma'am."
Soon, Hong Xiu walked into Nuan Pavilion holding a fire folding piece in his hand.
Lu Yuanding took the huozhezi and blew it with his mouth, and the top of the huozhezi immediately lit up with flames.
"Master Lu, what is this?" Yang Ruoqing asked doubtfully.
"Madam, look here." Lu Yuanding held the fire folding piece close to the scroll and placed the top flame on the rock.
Yang Ruoqing was about to shout, but found that Huo Zhezi did not light the scroll at all. She thought Lu Yuanding was going to burn the ancient painting and was about to stop it.
The flames heated up the rocks. After a while, Lu Yuanding removed the fire breakers and extinguished the fire breakers.
Yang Ruoqing vaguely knew that the secret might be about to be revealed.
Sure enough, where the rocks were, a line of words gradually appeared.
Yang Ruoqing squinted her eyes. She found that she was a little embarrassed. She didn't recognize this line of characters.
"Madam, this is a special kind of ancient Chinese characters that have been discontinued for a long time...the meaning of these characters is: underground palace, palace of fire."
Lu Yuanding said seriously: "In other words, this text means the location of the underground palace of Emperor Wu of the Southern Dynasties."
"According to legend, Emperor Wu conquered the world throughout his life and collected a lot of rare things. He built a secret underground palace. After his death, he buried all the rare things in front of him with him. The location of the secret underground palace has been a mystery for eternity. These numbers For hundreds of years, no one has found any clues."
"So what if we find the underground palace? I can't help but dig his grave." Yang Ruoqing obviously disagreed.
There are so many tombs of emperors, generals and prime ministers. Apart from those tomb robbers, what are serious tomb robbers doing? Wealth in this world is constantly being generated. Yang Ruoqing can absorb modern wealth through business, so there is no need to be harsh on the ancients.
"Wealth is secondary. There is also the most powerful armor and weapon forging method in the Southern Dynasty at that time. They are all lost. If Madam can get it, she can dedicate it to His Majesty and help him suppress the rebellion. I think it will be useful."
"What kind of weapons and armor?" Yang Ruoqing is actually not very interested. What kind of weapons are not as good as artillery? No matter how strong they are, so what?
