Queen Jingjue's soothing and soft words gently passed through everyone's ears, like the spring breeze blowing on the face, making people feel more comfortable.
And what she spoke turned out to be extremely fluent in Chinese, so Ying Zheng felt very cordial.
Ying Zheng bit the tip of his tongue and awoke for a few minutes. He no longer looked directly into Queen Jingjue's eyes, and nodded and said, "I am here under the entrustment of someone. This is a token. Please see the queen."
After saying that, Ying Zheng raised the brocade box in his hand and handed it to the guard beside him.
The guard took the brocade box and looked over it over and over before coming to the front of Queen Jingjue.
"Open it." Queen Jingjue said.
The guard placed the brocade box on the ground, opened it with both hands very carefully, then took out the small stone tripod from inside and handed it to Queen Jingjue.
Queen Jingjue frowned, but she didn't seem surprised. Instead, she took the small stone tripod with some surprise.
"Yes, it was made by Jingjue." Queen Jingjue looked at the stone tripod carefully and nodded gently.
Qiang Yu and Thorin were stunned for a moment and looked at each other.
According to Ying Zheng, there were nine stone tripods in total. After giving one to each of them, there were seven left. And what appears in front of Queen Jingjue now is one of the seven stone tripods. Since the one in front of her comes from Jingjue, then naturally all nine stone tripods come from Jingjue.
It seems that the previous guess is correct, but why are the nine small stone tripods from Jingjue the property of King Qin?
Could it be that Da Qin and Jing Jue have been connected for a long time?
The two brothers were thinking about it when they heard Ying Zheng say: "King Jingjue, are you looking carefully?"
Queen Jingjue handed the stone tripod back to the guard's hand, then smiled and said, "Although this is the first time we meet, King Qin doesn't need to be polite. From now on, just call me Wu Chan."
Wuchan?
It turns out that the surname of the Jingjue royal family is Wuchan.
"This..." Ying Zheng smiled back, "It's not very good."
"If it's in private, of course it's okay." Queen Wuchan said calmly.
Except for Qiang Yu and Suolin, everyone else became more and more puzzled as they listened. Why did Queen Wuchan seem to be an old friend of King Qin.
Ying Zheng also felt strange and quickly changed the subject: "I also came here for business. On the way, I signed an alliance with King Loulan, and the King of Xiqiang also gave up the passage. Now, I also let Wu Queen Zen, please meet Da Qin’s goods.”
After that, Ying Zheng signaled to Meng Tian, and Meng Tian led Meng Yi and others out of the hall.
Not long after, several people brought in three wooden boxes.
It seems that it is still the same old routine.
However, this time the person who opened the box was Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng introduced while taking out tea, porcelain and silk.
As expected, all the guards in the hall, including all the guards, had their eyes fixed on the three ordinary wooden boxes.
Except for Queen Jingjue.
Her eyes seemed to be focused more on Ying Zheng.
Although Ying Zheng noticed it, he pretended not to know. He waved his hand and ordered people to distribute the goods in the box to everyone present.
The people who can accompany Queen Wuchan, in addition to the bodyguards, are naturally the most core ministers and nobles of Jingjue Kingdom. Yingzheng wants them to take a more serious look at it. Even if they don't buy it themselves, they must support Jingjue and her husband. Great Qin trade.
There was a sudden sound of admiration and surprise in the hall.
"Look at this tea. It's definitely top quality. You've probably never seen it, let alone drinking it."
"Tea leaves are nothing. Look at the porcelain bowl, how beautiful it is. If you use it to drink water every day, it will definitely be sweeter and more mellow than countless fine wines."
"It doesn't matter to you. If this silk is made into clothes for my family to wear, I will be more than ten years younger."
…
In the main hall, similar discussions continued for a long time.
Queen Wuchan, however, returned to her seat, neither paying much attention to the goods nor
To stop the discussions among the ministers is just to show off
Holding the stone tripod given to her by Ying Zheng.
Her reaction was really different from the previous King Xiqiang and King Loulan.
Ying Zheng naturally noticed Queen Wuchan's actions, but he remained calm. Seeing that the time was almost up, he said loudly: "If you are satisfied with these goods, then I will give away all the items in your hands." It’s for you.”
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet, followed by an uproar.
Everyone in the Jingjue clan looked surprised and thanked them profusely.
Queen Wuchan stood up again at this moment and walked to the center of the hall with light steps.
Seeing that the Queen seemed to have something to say, the Jingjue clan fell silent again.
"The King of Qin is so generous. I, along with all the clan members, thank you." Queen Wuchan nodded and said, "But I wonder if the King of Qin brought a special gift to Wuchan?"
The Jingjue tribe focused their attention on Queen Wuchan in surprise.
Because you are envious of all the ministers and ask for gifts in public?
This doesn't look like the queen's style.
Ying Zheng was also startled for a moment, but then he seemed to remember something and said with a smile: "Of course there is, but this thing is not suitable for public display."
"Okay." Queen Wuchan looked at an elder beside her and said, "I want to take King Qin to the back hall to see the gifts brought by King Qin. Please ask Elder Cheluo to discuss it with the clan. Do you want to do business with Da Qin?"
The great elder Chero next to him saluted and said, "I obey the king's order."
Ying Zheng turned around, walked to Meng Tian's side, took down a long wooden box that Meng Tian had been carrying on his back, and slung it across his body.
It can be seen that this is the gift given by King Qin to Queen Wuchan.
"Let's go." Without any unnecessary words, Queen Wuchan turned around and walked towards the back hall.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and followed quickly.
Perhaps because of the constraints of her skirt, Queen Wuchan did not walk very fast, and her graceful back highlighted her slender and beautiful curves.
Ying Zheng didn't know where to put his eyes.
Just look at it, it’s easy to make yourself think wildly, and it’s not etiquette either.
Don't look at it, but it seems to be at a loss, which is shameful.
In desperation, Ying Zheng had no choice but to keep a certain distance from Queen Wuchan, then looked at her heels and followed her into the back hall.
Queen Wuchan did not stop in the apse, but went straight to a study.
Queen Wuchan's two maids came forward and opened the door to the study.
"You all should step back and wait outside the door." Queen Wuchan said.
"Yes." The two maids responded and stood on both sides of the door.
Queen Wuchan turned around and said with a faint smile: "Prince Qin, please go into the study with me to talk."
Ying Zheng nodded, but when he looked at Queen Wuchan's face up close, especially her bright eyes with a hint of light blue, he couldn't help but feel nervous again.
After Ying Zheng walked in, Queen Wuchan closed the door from the inside.
"Sit down, now there are only two of us left, we can speak freely." Queen Wuchan made an invitation.
Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, placed the long wooden box on his back on the table, patted the lid of the box, and said, "I wonder if the gift the Queen mentioned is this?"
Queen Wuchan walked to Ying Zheng's side and said with a smile, "It depends on what is put in this wooden box."
Ying Zheng opened the lid of the wooden box, took out a long package from inside, and then opened the package bit by bit very gently and carefully.
As the package was removed, the unique alluring light of gold appeared in front of the two people.
It's Xuanyuan Sword!
The golden light was like eyes, and Queen Wuchan's half-closed eyes were also widened. I wonder if it was a woman's natural reaction after seeing gold. Her breathing speeded up slightly, and the fragrance she exhaled seemed to be lighter. Rich before.
"It's really exactly the same..." Queen Wuchan murmured to herself.
"Varied
Are they exactly the same? " Ying Zheng asked without knowing why.
Queen Wuchan was speechless and turned around to go to the inner room of the study.
Ying Zheng was not in a hurry and sat down at the table.
Not long after, Queen Wuchan came out holding a long copper box.
The copper box looks quite old, and its gaps seem to have been sealed with wax.
Queen Wuchan found a dagger, cut the wax seal, and opened the copper box.
Inside the copper box is a rather ancient and outdated scroll.
Queen Wuchan picked up the scroll and spread it on the table.
When Ying Zheng saw the pattern drawn in the picture, he was stunned.
The pattern shown in the picture is actually exactly the same as the Xuanyuan Sword.
Only then did Ying Zheng understand what Queen Wuchan meant by being exactly the same.
"this……?"
"This is what our ancestors left behind." Queen Wuchan said softly, "The ancestral precepts say that if one day a Chinese man comes to Jingjue with the golden sword in this picture, then the current King Jingjue must respond to all requests. "
Ying Zheng's heart tightened. Sure enough, this statement was the same as what Ji Fa said.
"Now, you are finally here." Queen Wuchan's eyes moved from the scroll to Ying Zheng's face.
Their eyes met again, and there seemed to be another warm current in Ying Zheng's heart.
"Then did your ancestors say anything about the origin of this golden sword?" Ying Zheng quickly looked away and looked at his Xuanyuan Sword.
"This sword is called Xuanyuan Sword." Queen Wuchan also looked at Xuanyuan Sword and said, "It is a handed down sword forged by the ancestor of China, Xuanyuan Huangdi."
"Haha, not bad." Ying Zheng handed the Xuanyuan Sword to Queen Wuchan and said, "However, it is better to look more carefully to avoid being faked and mistaken for the real one."
Queen Wuchan nodded, took the Xuanyuan Sword, and unsheathed the sword.
The golden light beam could not block the cold light, so Queen Wuchan used her strength to wave it.
There was just a click, and a corner of the table flew out.
Ying Zheng: "..."
Queen Wuchan looked at the corner of the table that flew away, then held the Xuanyuan Sword in her palm and looked at it carefully, murmuring: "What a good sword!"
"Haha, it seems that Queen Wuchan thinks this table is old and wants to replace it with a new one." Ying Zheng joked.
"The King of Qin has not asked Wu Chan to try the sword, so I have no choice but to give it a try." Queen Wu Chan smiled and handed the Xuanyuan Sword back to Ying Zheng's hand.
"Have you tried it?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Yes." Queen Wuchan responded, and then said, "Actually, it is impossible to tell the authenticity of this sword just by looking at this pattern, but I believe that no one in the Chinese ethnic group will imitate this sword."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng put the Xuanyuan Sword back into its scabbard and asked, "Why?"
"If China cannot fully protect such a top secret, can it still be called China?" Queen Wuchan said with a smile, "Just like no one in the Western Region can imitate the secret stone."
The conversation got to the point so quickly. It seemed that Queen Wuchan really knew Ying Zheng's intention.
"Haha." Ying Zheng smiled calmly and said, "It seems that the ancestors of China and the ancestors of Jingjue have always communicated with each other. It is true, and Queen Wuchan seems to know the purpose of my visit."
"Yes." Queen Wuchan did not deny it. "The other half of the ancestor's ancestral precepts is to fully supply the secret stones needed by China. When necessary, the patriarch can go to China in person."
Ying Zheng let out a breath and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we are all chosen by God. We are destined to have important responsibilities when we are born."
"Isn't this good?" Wu Chan asked with a charming smile.
"Uh..." Ying Zheng tried not to lose consciousness again and said casually, "Since the ancestor Jing Jue has given the order, I guess you will help me."
"That's not necessarily true." Queen Wuchan's tone suddenly turned cold, "That depends on whether you can unify China."
