Everyone looked at King Beiping, waiting for his answer.
Long Yu was equally confused and said: "Back then, no one from the Qin clan flinched, and they all entered the battle with iron-blooded jade pendants. I did destroy all the jade pendants I could find at that time, but if anyone missed it at that time, it was not Impossible, even though they will fight us without hesitation, there is no guarantee that they will not leave any blood or other heirs behind!"
Wei Dongcheng thought deeply: "Maybe someone really missed it back then, otherwise the appearance of this jade pendant today would be unexplainable. But under the circumstances back then, so many people had searched, and there should be no one left in the Qin sect." No trace left? How did he escape the search?"
Perhaps it was because the battle with the Qin Clan was so brutal that the ministers who had experienced that battle had fresh memories, and they were all recalling every detail of the time in order to find the slightest clue.
But after all, more than thirty years have passed since the incident, and no one can have such a good memory.
After discussing it for a long time, I had no clue.
The emperor finally spoke: "The whole city is searching for the man in black. The Grand Master's assassin is too dangerous and we cannot give him a chance. From now on, the Thousand Ax Guards will accompany me and we cannot relax for a moment. Don't make this matter public, so as not to cause unrest." It's a necessary trouble. Just know it and investigate quietly to see if there are any clues!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"By the way, Brother Long Yu, the man in black's martial arts is very strange. According to Zhuo Qi, he not only knows the one-forward leaping forward dragon that is extremely difficult to master in the martial arts world, but also has a strange weapon that can rotate and crush matter. This move can be easily broken with two palms!" The emperor seemed to suddenly remember.
The King of Peiping saved the emperor's life in that war, and the two of them were friends who knew each other in the world, so they always treated each other as brothers, which was not the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers. This is also known to everyone, and why the King of Peiping would Being superior to others is the reason why all officials are afraid.
The reason why the emperor asked Long Yu was also very simple, because he was the only grand master above the third-level official in the dynasty, and he had been a grand master more than thirty years ago.
"Can it rotate and have a crushing effect?"
Long Yu thought for a while and said: "Brother Emperor, as far as I know there is a similar martial art in the world called 'Xuanlong Po'. After practicing this martial art, there will be a rotating energy in the body that will continuously flow in the palms of the hands." It can be sent out at any time. As for the effect, since I have never seen it, I don’t know if it is the same as this man in black.”
"Xuan Long Po? Is there really such a magical martial art? Who created it?"
Long Yu shook his head and said: "I only heard it from people when I was wandering around the world. I don't know who created it. I don't even know if anyone has actually practiced it!"
The emperor knew that this matter would not be that simple, but his uneasy heart calmed down a little.
Long Yu said: "Brother, why don't I have to live in the palace to protect your safety? I also want to meet this great master!"
Liu Cheng shook his head and said: "No need, I have stepped up my guard. All the Forbidden Forces are on standby at all times, and the Ax Guard will always follow me from now on. I think the situation today will not happen. You all go down, I am tired!" "
"Yes, please leave!"
After the crowd dispersed, the emperor returned to the Wushuang Hall, holding the piece of iron-blooded jade pendant in his hand. The tiny lines on it were like blood flowing, lifelike, and looked a little weird.
………………
For a month after that, Wushuang City was restricted from entry and exit. The people all knew that the emperor had been assassinated, but they did not know the more important reason, which was the iron-blooded jade pendant from the Qin Sect.
Within a month, because no outsiders entered, some daily supplies in the city began to be scarce, and people had some complaints.
The emperor also knew that this would not work, and there was no clue about the man in black, as if he had flown away, quietly.
As a result, the month-long lockdown was lifted and people resumed their usual lives.
And something happened that shocked the city's high-ranking officials and nobles.
That is Shangguan Yuan, known as the most beautiful woman in the world, entering the city!
Shangguan Yuan is a dancing queen who is very famous throughout the land of Kyushu, because she is not only extremely beautiful, but also the dance songs she composes can make people intoxicated. It can be said that she is the best for wealthy people in their free time. enjoyment.
The reason why Shangguan Yuan caused a commotion when she entered the city was because she would not accept anyone's invitation or hire. She would perform on a tour throughout the land of Kyushu every time. In addition to the sky-high price for watching her sing and dance, it was also very expensive for those who watched her. There will also be strict requirements, and not just those with money can watch.
This situation has been going on for many years. Shangguan Yuan is still a virgin. This is very strange. A weak woman walks around in the world and does not know martial arts. No one, not even the officials of the dynasty, has any idea of her. They have never disrespected her, which only adds to her fame and rareness of viewing.
Shangguan Yuan hired the largest restaurant in the dynasty to hold three song and dance performances, attracting a large number of high-ranking officials and nobles, and at the same time bringing a large amount of money.
The largest restaurant in Wushuang City is Mengyu Pavilion. Mengyu Pavilion is very different from other restaurants or inns. It directly pays taxes to the palace and has dedicated people responsible for it. Unlike other legal businesses in the dynasty, it is After being unified and centralized by the Ministry of Finance, it is then handed over to the national treasury.
Part of the reason is that its daily taxes are too high. In order to prevent some people from tampering with the money, a dedicated person collects taxes based on the turnover and reports them directly to the emperor!
The money here is directly missing by one unit, that is, there is no silver. Silver is not accepted here. The lowest starting price is ten taels of gold, which is the price of one thousand taels of silver. A sum of money is enough to feed the poor for hundreds of years.
The architecture here is also very different from other places. Although it is called a restaurant, it is very different from a restaurant because each of its rooms is a bungalow, each room is independent, and there is a small lake in front of the room. Each small lake is connected to each other. These individual rooms converge into the middle like a spider web. There is a very, very tall ancient building in the middle. Standing on the top, you can even see half of Wushuang City.
There is a small platform in front of the room, for guests to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside. Below the platform is the lake. In front of the platform is a gravel path that leads directly to the ancient building in the middle. Under the ancient building is a huge square. For some From time to time, song and dance performances are held to please the nobles here.
Each room is a private room to attract guests. One person can book this room with as many friends as he wants. The rooms have different prices depending on the level of service they enjoy. The minimum one requires ten taels of gold. If you need special services, you will have to pay extra. Except for the royal special cuisine, you will have to pay extra for all kinds of delicacies here. There are also many beauties here, which are even comparable to the Huanyuan Pavilion in the palace. After all, money can make the world go round. .
The trees planted here are all Xumu trees. According to legend, they were left by gods. This tree is evergreen all year round. No matter how cold the weather is, it will not affect its growth. Moreover, the trunk, branches and leaves will emit a fragrance, which can help people sleep. The bark is cut and used as medicine to treat stomach injuries and other ailments.
Legend has it that the gods left a wish that those who made a wish to the Xumushu would receive God's favor, and many of them came true, so this kind of tree was very popular in the dynasty.
The lake is planted with all kinds of grasses. This kind of grass has no other uses, but it is fatally attractive to fish. It does not need to be raised too much. The lake is full of various fish growing naturally. At a glance It’s so beautiful to look at!
Eating and relaxing here is a kind of enjoyment in itself, not to mention that there are also some delicacies that cannot be eaten elsewhere.
Shangguan Yuan likes every bit of nature very much, which is why she travels around to see the scenery in various places. This is Shangguan Yuan's first time entering Wushuang City. When looking for a place, she couldn't go except the palace. She took a liking to the Mengyu Pavilion almost at a glance. Looking at the entire Kyushu, there was probably no better place than this. A lot of manpower and material resources were spent on the construction of Mengyu Pavilion, and it took a full ten years to complete.
Shangguan Yuan's performance at Mengyu Pavilion is very expensive. The private rooms on the outside cost one thousand taels of gold, and the private rooms in the back cost ten thousand taels of gold. As for the private room standing alone in the lake closest to Gulou Square, the price is One hundred thousand taels of gold!
And this is only the price for one night. Even so, the private rooms for these three days of singing and dancing performances were sold out in an instant. Almost all the noble princes and even themselves were attracted. Some officials did not come just because My own face shows that I disdain to participate in this kind of thing!
This spectacular scene was comparable to the royal sacrificial ceremony held more than a month ago. Everyone wanted to see the true appearance of the beauty.
There are rumors in the world that there are ten beauties. They are released by a very mysterious organization. I don’t know what the special purpose of this organization is. I only know that they often release some strange things, and they are very accurate. Many people like to follow them. Buying and selling some information, they are like everyone's shadow, they know everything, as long as you have money, you can inquire about anything!
Legend has it that Shangguan Yuan won the title of number one among the top ten beauties without any suspense. Some people have seen her, some have not, but as her fame grows, it seems that people have acquiesced in her heart!
At night, the spring breeze blows over the face, waving the fragrance of Xumushu, soft and soft, and there are fish swimming quietly in the water. Each guest is sitting in his seat, drinking the intoxicating fragrance brewed every ten years. Drinking fine wine and watching the Shangguan Yuan dancing gracefully in front of me, it seems like everyone is in a dream. I am so mesmerized that I only think about how many times in my life I can get help from the gods and embrace the beauty back home!
The first performance was Shangguan Yuan's self-created dance "Dream", which seemed to take all the guests into a place without any sorrow, and live unrestrainedly. One dance and one dream stole everyone's hearts. .
