He's Bi was brought to Qin by Lin Xiangru and presented to the King of Qin.
I don’t know what means Zhao Guo used this time to bring He’s Bi back.
Originally, the return of He's Bi to Zhao was a very secret matter, but not only Zhao Mu knew about it, but even Wujiabao also learned the news in advance.
Chen Kang and Lian Jin were not the only ones who were interested in He's Bi.
Lian Jin said: "Mr. Chen, if we drive twenty miles further, there will be a mountain village. Let's stay there."
Chen Kang nodded and said, "Okay."
Chen Kang was the one who took the lead in seizing He's Bi. The main job is still done by Lian Jin.
After all, Lian Jin is the one who has the information.
Chen Kang will only ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Chen Kang wouldn't ask about most things, just let Lian Jin make his own decision.
Of course, the information Lian Jin has must be correct and accurate. Otherwise, even if Chen Kang has great abilities and the information is wrong, it will be useless.
…
In the cottage.
The bandits captured Wujiabao's caravan and wanted to make a fortune.
When the bandit leader learned that Miss Wu Tingfang was also among the hostages, he changed his mind.
A bandit rushed into the lobby and reported: "Master, Lian Jin has arrived."
The headmaster frowned.
The bandits in the village are actually a team of people raised by Zhao Mu, who mainly help the Julu Hou Mansion to do some dirty work.
The eldest master thought to himself: "I led the copycat brothers to sneak attack on several caravans, including the Wu family's caravan, and finally robbed He's Bi. I didn't expect Lian Jin to come so fast."
Feeling unhappy,
However, the headmaster still took people to the gate of the village to greet Lian Jin in person.
Seeing Lian Jin, the headmaster was stunned. Unexpectedly, there was a young man in black next to Lian Jin. In the past, Lian Jin always worked alone and had a very arrogant temper. When did he start traveling in groups?
Moreover, Lian Jin was still standing behind the young man in black.
It seems that this young man is not simple, he must be a noble person.
The eldest master said respectfully to Chen Kang: "I have seen the young master before."
Chen Kang glanced at Lian Jin and asked, "Do you know each other?"
Lian Jin nodded and said, "I have met the boss several times."
Chen Kang did not get close to the big boss.
It's not that Chen Kang is aloof, but that the society in the pre-Qin era was very hierarchical.
Slaves, civilians, officials, nobles, and royal families all have strict etiquette and hierarchy.
Everyone is equal?
Even if the Legalists enacted laws, they would not be able to punish the officials. Don't believe in the saying that "princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people".
It would be weird if Chen Kang acted very friendly and chatted with the boss.
Chen Kang is very skilled in martial arts and has superb martial arts skills, but he never thought about changing the order of this society. Even if he wanted to change, Chen Kang was powerless.
Just entered the lobby.
Before the master could prepare a banquet, Lian Jin asked coldly: "Where's the Heshi Bi? Take it out."
The headmaster rolled his eyes and said calmly: "Mr. Lian Jin, although I robbed several caravans, I did not find He's Bi."
Chen Kang saw through at a glance that the boss was lying.
He's Bi is the most precious thing.
Although the boss is a bandit, he also wants to monopolize it.
It's a pity that the big boss definitely doesn't understand why it's a crime to have a jade.
He's Bi is a treasure that King Qin and King Zhao are also concerned about, so how can he, a little bandit, get his hands on it?
Chen Kang said: "Lian Jin, he is talking. He's Bi must have been in his hands."
Clang.
Lian Jin immediately drew his sword.
This guy Lian Jin is really ruthless and doesn't talk much.
In fact, regardless of Lian Jin's character, Chen Kang still admires his character.
Lian Jin was decisive in killing and had strong execution ability.
The sword light flashed.
In less than ten breaths, Lian Jin slaughtered all the bandits in the lobby.
Only the big boss remained.
Chen Kang did not stop Lian Jin from killing people.
These bandits intercept and kill caravans, their hands are full of blood, they are not good people.
They deserved to die.
Even if Lian Jin doesn't take action, Chen Kang will destroy them.
The boss looked at Lian Jin and Chen Kang in horror.
Lian Jin put the tip of his sword against the head of the family's neck and sneered: "If we didn't get the exact information, how could Mr. Chen and I come to see you? How dare you swallow He's Bi? I'm afraid you have forgotten that you are just a Hou. My dog. Take out the Heshi Bi, or you will die."
The great master knelt in front of Chen Kang and prayed: "Sir, please save this villain. I will take out He's Bi now."
The boss is very smart and knows that he can only turn to Chen Kang if he wants to survive.
Chen Kang only needs to say a word, and he can survive under Lian Jin's sword.
Chen Kang said: "Take out He's Bi first. I won't kill you."
The boss took out an exquisite wooden box.
Chen Kang took the wooden box.
The sword flashed.
A sword seals the throat.
The headmaster covered his neck and looked at Lian Jin and Chen Kang with resentment.
Lian Jin sneered and said, "Mr. Chen won't kill you. I didn't promise to let you go."
The boss fell to the ground and died with his eyes open.
Chen Kang said: "Lian Jin, you shouldn't kill him so early."
Lian Jin said: "Mr. Chen, this person deserves to die."
Lian Jin said that the boss deserved to die, not because his hands were bloody when he robbed families. But because he deceived Juluhou and himself, and wanted to steal Heshibi.
Chen Kang said: "This man deserves to be killed. But what if the Heshi Bi he took out is fake?"
Lian Jin was stunned, he had not thought of this situation.
Chen Kang opened the box and took out the Heshi Bi.
Chen Kang stroked the Heshi Bi and thought to himself: "It is indeed a good piece of jade, flawless. In the future, when Ying Zheng destroys the six kingdoms and unifies the world, he will use this Heshi Bi to carve a national jade seal."
From then on, the jade seal passed down to the country became a symbol of Chinese imperial power.
Lian Jin was a little nervous, fearing that Chen Kang would steal He's Bi.
Others stole He's Bi, but Lian Jin killed them. But if Chen Kang wanted to take advantage of He Shibi, Lian Jin would not be able to stop him.
After seeing Chen Kang's martial arts, Lian Jin lost the courage to draw his sword at Chen Kang.
Chen Kang handed He's Bi to Lian Jin.
He's Bi has special significance to the entire Chinese civilization, but to Chen Kang, it has little value.
Chen Kang didn’t want to be the emperor, so what use would he have with his jade?
Lian Jin took over the He's Bi and felt relieved. Chen Kang gave up the He's Bi, which meant that Chen Kang had no intention of betraying the Marquis.
Right now.
Chen Kang frowned.
"Get out of the way."
Chen Kang pushed Lian Jin away and used his body skills to avoid it.
Bang bang bang.
It's the sound of bullets coming out of the barrel!
Yes, it was gunshots.
Pistol thermal weapons actually appeared in the Warring States Period!
The person who came was none other than Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong came to the mountain stronghold to rescue Wu Tingfang and the Wu family caravan.
Xiang Shaolong is a special soldier with accurate marksmanship, and several bullets almost flew past Chen Kang's ears.
Chen Kang's expression did not change at all.
Pistol bullets?
For Chen Kang, it was just a small scene.
Chen Kang's current strength has exploded, and it may not be impossible to catch bullets with his bare hands, but it would consume too much energy and blood, so it is unnecessary.
After emptying the magazine, Xiang Shaolong rushed towards Chen Kang.
Xiang Shaolong is an expert in unarmed combat.
Chen Kang smiled slightly, put his left hand behind his back, and easily neutralized all Xiang Shaolong's attacks with just his right hand.
Chen Kang is too familiar with modern boxing and fighting.
As long as Xiang Shaolong moves, Chen Kang will know what move he is going to use.
Chen Kang can predict Xiang Shaolong's attack.
Chen Kang shook his head secretly. Xiang Shaolong's martial arts seemed to be fierce, but in fact, his lower body was unstable, he didn't know the breathing method, he had explosive power but not endurance.
The biggest failure of Xiang Shaolong's fighting moves is that they have no penetrating power.
Bang.
Chen Kang knocked back Xiang Shaolong with one palm.
Lian Jin suddenly slashed at Xiang Shaolong with his sword.
Chen Kang said: "Stop."
Lian Jin said: "Mr. Chen, this man actually used a concealed weapon to hurt others, which is extremely abominable. Let me kill him."
Facing pistol bullets, even Lian Jin, a peak swordsman master, still smelled the breath of death.
Lian Jin didn't expect that mysterious hidden weapon to have terrifying power.
Chen Kang said: "We have already obtained He's Bi. Forget it, don't kill anyone again. Let him go."
Lian Jin glared at Xiang Shaolong and said coldly: "Boy, your fate is good. If Mr. Chen hadn't spared you, I would have cut off your head."
Chen Kang took Lian Jin and left the village.
…
Xiang Shaolong rescued the people from the Wu family.
Tao Fang, the general manager of the Wu family, asked: "Xiang Shaoxia, was it you who killed the bandits in the village?"
Wu Tingfang looked at Xiang Shaolong with a timid look.
The lobby was full of corpses, and the smell of blood filled the air. Wu Tingfang, a young lady who was well-dressed and well-fed, had never seen such a cruel scene.
Xiang Shaolong shook his head and said: "I didn't kill him. It was two people who killed the bandits. These two people are very powerful, one uses a sword, and the other is superb in martial arts. I am no match."
Xiang Shaolong felt a little scared when he thought that Chen Kang could dodge bullets and could easily crush him with his fighting skills.
As a time traveler, Xiang Shaolong has always had a sense of superiority. He felt that he was knowledgeable and had more than two thousand years of knowledge than the ancients.
But this time when he met Chen Kang and Lian Jin, Xiang Shaolong was really shocked. Xiang Shaolong never expected that there would be such a powerful ancient person.
Could it be that the ancient legend is true?
Is Qiuxian asked a real thing?
Tao Fang said: "It's good to be alive. He's Bi is lost. We can't explain it to the family master when we go back."
Xiang Shaolong said: "The Heshi Bi was taken away by those two people."
…
After meeting Xiang Shaolong, Chen Kang's mentality remained calm.
Both are time travellers. Chen Kang's purpose in doing things is different from Xiang Shaolong's.
Chen Kang was looking for the ancient Taoist and Mohist practice techniques. Xiang Shaolong wanted to complete the task assigned by the doctor so that he could successfully return to the future two thousand years ago.
Therefore, Chen Kang had no intention of taking the initiative to make friends with Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong couldn't help Chen Kang.
Return to Juluhou Mansion.
Chen Kang began to check the books and materials in the Hou Mansion.
Almost all of these books are written on sheepskin and bamboo slips. They are unique and very precious.
Many books have not been handed down to later generations because of the war.
Chen Kang flipped through the books and sighed in his heart: "It is indeed an era when a hundred schools of thought contend. All kinds of ideas are wild and unconstrained. The collision of thinking bursts out sparks of wisdom. My thinking is somewhat fixed. Some of the thinking and theories in these books can give I have some inspiration."
Relatively speaking, Chen Kang's thinking mode is much more comprehensive than that of ordinary people.
After all, when Chen Kang considers a problem, he will consider all aspects. This mode of thinking is related to Chen Kang's learning of mathematics.
But even so, Chen Kang now feels that his thinking model still has some blind spots, and his thinking is not complete and comprehensive enough.
Zhao Mu walked into the courtyard where Chen Kang lived and said happily: "Mr. Chen, you and I will go to the palace tomorrow. The king wants to see you."
Of course Zhao Mu was happy after getting He's Bi.
Zhao Mu planned to play with the He's Bi for a while and then secretly send the He's Bi back to Chu State and give it to his father, "Chun Shenjun".
Chen did not become greedy for He's Bi and brought He's Bi back, making Zhao Mu trust him more.
Zhao Mu now regards Chen Kang as a confidant.
Chen Kang asked doubtfully: "Master Hou, I am your disciple. Why does the king see me? Could it be that the master recommended Chen to the king?"
Zhao Mu said: "I did not recommend you. It was the king who heard that you were a disciple of Guigu and wanted to meet you. I envy you people from the mountain sect. You are always a guest no matter where you go. Even if you are the king , I’m afraid I’ll be polite to you sir.”
Chen Kang laughed and said, "The Marquis is ridiculous. The people in the mountain sect are just studying knowledge and have a little reputation. The disciples have achieved success in their studies. After they come down from the mountain, they still have to rely on the powerful. Confucianism, Legalism, Yin and Yang... they are all... That's it. The Marquis himself is a powerful person and holds power, so why should he envy Chen, a commoner?"
Zhao Mu said: "Mo disciples will not rely on the powerful. The Mohists in Handan City will only help the weak. That Yan Ping will not give any face to me when he meets me."
Yan Ping, the leader of Zhao Guo Mo Zhe, is highly skilled in martial arts and has superb swordsmanship.
If it weren't for his age and lack of physical strength, Yan Ping's martial arts would definitely be more powerful than Lian Jin's.
In terms of swordsmanship alone, Yan Ping is better than Lian Jin. Yan Ping has part of the inheritance of Mohist cultivation techniques, and his background is much deeper than Lian Jin.
Zhao Mu asked: "Mr. Chen, are you going to the palace tomorrow? If you don't want to go, I can go and explain to the king."
Chen Kang said: "Since the king wants to see Chen, then I must go."
King Zhao is the supreme ruler of Zhao State.
Chen Kang is capable, but there is no need to be arrogant and arrogant.
Chen Kang would have nothing to lose by meeting King Zhao.
Chen Kang didn't want to pursue an official career and felt it was a waste of time. If King Zhao offered Chen Kang a title and asked him to be in charge, Chen Kang would politely refuse.
Zhao Mu actually also intended to support Chen Kang.
With Chen Kang's help, Zhao Mu is more confident in dealing with Wujiabao.
Of course, the premise is that Chen Kang must be loyal to Zhao Mu, otherwise Zhao Mu will use all means to get rid of Chen Kang.
Zhao Mu does not allow anyone to betray him.
The famous retainers and officials who had betrayed the Julu Hou Mansion had long been brutally killed by Zhao Mu and thrown into mass graves.
…
The next day.
Morning.
After breakfast, Zhao Mu took Chen Kang and Lian Jin into the palace.
Just arrived at the entrance of the main hall.
Met Wu Yingyuan and Xiang Shaolong, the owners of Wujiabao.
Seeing Chen Kang and Lian Jin, Xiang Shaolong was shocked and secretly said: "It's them!"
Zhao Mu said: "Master Wubao, you and I are ministers in the same palace and are the right-hand man of the king. You brought a young man to the palace today. Do you want to recommend this person to the king?"
Wu Yingyuan said: "Master Marquis, I would like to introduce you to you. This young hero is Xiang Shaolong. He is loyal, courageous, and chivalrous at heart. He is a rare talent. Why shouldn't I recommend talents to the king? .”
Zhao Mu said: "Hmph. Talent? Mr. Chen Kang next to me is a disciple of Guigu. His martial arts and knowledge are ten times better than Xiang Shaolong next to you. I don't show off everywhere like you."
Chen Kang and Lian Jin did not speak and followed Zhao Mu into the hall.
Xiang Shaolong looked at the backs of the three of them and whispered: "Master Wubao, they are the ones who took away He's Bi."
Wu Yingyuan nodded, with a solemn face, and said: "Zhao Mu has Lian Jin beside him, and now there is another Guigu disciple Chen Kang. From now on, it will be even harder to deal with Zhao Mu."
Xiang Shaolong was surprised and said: "Chen Kang is a disciple of Guigu? That is a famous sect. No wonder his martial arts are so good. I plan to find an opportunity to chat with Chen Kang."
Wu Yingyuan said quickly: "Xiang Shaoxia, we don't know what Chen Kang's temper is. Besides, he is still Zhao Mu's retainer. Wujiabao and Juluhou Mansion have always been in a state of hostility. Don't mess around."
