"The military needs strong national power to support it... I have made many attempts involving the military and people's livelihood to strengthen the Qin Dynasty."
This is the opening line of the second volume of the Emperor's handwriting.
"Part 2 of the establishment of the Secret Pattern Army, casting tools..."
The first part of the First Emperor's handwriting mentioned the casting of secret pattern weapons, but it only scratched the surface.
This article continues the previous part and explains more about the smelting and casting of secret pattern weapons.
It ranges from horseshoes and arrow clusters to siege engines, ships, and even the construction of palaces.
The First Emperor used a special method of spiritual imprinting to seal the complex and complicated contents of the system in simple books.
If you haven’t practiced the first part and picked up the second volume of Emperor’s Slips, you won’t be able to see the content.
The two volumes of the First Emperor's handwriting are like an assessment. You need to master the first part before you can unlock the spiritual blockade and read the second part.
"The First Emperor's thoughts are very careful." Huo Qubing thought as he watched.
At the end of the second part of the handwriting, Emperor Qin wrote:
"I know that 'they' are dormant in the dark... Later inheritors of military strategists, you must always remind yourself that there are still enemies in the dark, so you must not be careless.
I repeat it again. When you have mastered all the restrictions on the Immortals and Demons of the Terracotta Warriors, I have left a great surprise for you in the imperial mausoleum. "
Don't be frightened... The corners of Huo Qubing's mouth raised slightly.
The First Emperor, like last time, broke off the chapter at the end and wrote about the critical moment of forging ordnance, without any further chapters.
The entire second part of the handwriting includes the forging of ordnance, the practice forbidden by the imperial mausoleum, and some discussions on people's livelihood and the prosperity of the country.
During this period, it was emphasized several times that without strong national power, there would be no room for the development of military strategists.
He seems to be very concerned about whether the country in future generations can remain strong. Only with a strong army can military strategists be invincible and accomplish certain things in the end.
There is also a small amount of content that is quite special:
"Last time in my brief book, I mentioned the concept of time travellers. According to the historical context, after the Qin Dynasty, we should be the Han Dynasty.
The famous military generals of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing... and Zhou Yafu, were a little worse, but they were still barely usable.
Heirs of the military strategist, if you are one of Han Xin or Huo Qubing, you should hurry up. The last thing I left in the imperial mausoleum may be able to save your lives!
If no one discovered the secret of the imperial tomb during the Han Dynasty... I'm afraid it would be too late. "
After Huo Qubing read these contents, he closed his eyes for a moment, opened his eyes again, and looked at the things Zi left behind again.
This includes the study of various types of cultivation techniques, and the consideration of changes in the combination of different types of techniques.
He is still doing everything possible to search and refine various kinds of elixirs to assist himself.
It seems that Zi's cultivation qualifications are not too high. He mainly relies on planning to earn luck and promote cultivation, rather than relying on qualifications... Huo Qubing thought.
In addition, Zi also repeatedly deduced some arrays on some scrolls, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the arrays of figurines in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
He was also studying the figurine array, and seemed to want to enter a certain area of the imperial tomb.
Huo Qubing checked its contents and determined that it was not the area where the giant coffin was suppressed, but an unknown place within the imperial mausoleum!
Among the relics of the emperor, there is also a bamboo slip, which he used to communicate with all the people who controlled the influence and convey orders.
Huo Qubing unfolded the simple book.
The bamboo slips are yellowed and connected with thin black threads.
On the black lines, extremely tiny incantations are engraved, giving people a sense of ingenuity.
It looks like an ordinary bamboo scroll, but it carries a lot of luck.
The simple book was opened, and on the front page were written Zong Hengce's three large seal characters from the Spring and Autumn Period.
This is the inheritance of Zonghengdao... Huo Qubing thought to himself.
There is a pattern on the first page and at the end of the simple book.
The pattern on the first slip is a jade sword.
On the last piece of paper is a small bronze tripod.
When Huo Qubing touched these two things, he was given the power of spiritual practice.
The small space sealed in the brief book was opened, and a jade sword and a small bronze cauldron rose from it.
The jade sword has an ancient style, just like a coin. It is the same as the one I got from the King of Huainan. It can be used as a message and as a weapon.
The bronze tripod has two ears and three legs, a round belly, and is only as big as a baby's fist.
The walls of the tripod are all hollowed out with exquisite workmanship.
There are countless mantras inside and outside the hollow cauldron wall.
There is a smaller copper ball inside the cauldron, which shakes gently and collides with the wall of the cauldron, making a crisp sound.
Huo Qubing tried to send power into the cauldron.
The copper balls inside the cauldron wall stirred.
The incantations throughout the cauldron shone brightly and were connected to each other to form an array.
And on the surface of the bamboo slips below, as the sound of the tripod wall rang out, handwriting imprints slowly appeared: "You came out of the imperial mausoleum, how did things go?"
Huo Qubing was slightly startled...who was passing on the handwriting and link?
The last remnant of the three sons of Zonghengdao, the one in charge of the army?
This jade sword and copper tripod are obviously things that are sealed in Zonghengce to increase their transmission capacity and used to send messages.
The jade sword is an artifact that each of the three sons of Zongheng has.
What about the bronze tripod?
Huo Qubing stared at the handwriting on the surface of the brief book and pondered in silence.
…
There is a guest house in the east area of the back house of the Champion Marquis. The building is divided into two parts, the front and back, and the environment is quiet.
The cabinets and other items inside are all made of fine huanghuali wood, and the table corners are inlaid with jade. The details are luxurious.
Bai Nanyu was sitting on a low couch in the house, her hair hanging down her shoulders, and she was wearing a moon-white fairy skirt.
Opposite her was Zhuo Qingke, sitting sideways on the wooden couch, with her legs folded outside the couch, her bare feet without shoes or socks, her snow-white feet, as if they were made of snow, and her toes were exquisite and delicate, like crystal lotus seeds dotted on white jade. The soft and tender feet were holding the shoes and swinging outside the couch.
The Zhuo family's internal industries were taken over by Zhuo Wangsun's group after they came to Chang'an.
At present, many people from various branches inside and outside the Zhuo family are gathered together, all looking at the distribution of the industry, fighting overtly and covertly.
Bai Nanyu wanted to be pure, so she also went to stay with Zhuo Qingke in the Hou Mansion.
"Sister-in-law, what are your plans after the family property is liquidated?"
Zhuo Qingke asked, blinking his dark eyes.
The Zhuo family is liquidating the property and dividing the family. Some clan elders have already pointed out that Bai Nanyu is a married woman and has not given the Zhuo family a son and a half, so the Zhuo family's property should not be distributed.
The meaning is that Bai Nanyu is afraid that on behalf of the deceased Zhuo Huai's eldest son, he will take away the majority of Zhuo's property.
Mr. Zhuo was very wary of Bai Nanyu.
This has been the case in competition for property since ancient times, especially for wealthy households with considerable wealth. A person's head can beat a dog's head.
Bai Nanyu picked a grape in a wooden tray, put it into her mouth and sucked it, then used the tip of her tongue to collect the juice from the corner of her lips: "I don't covet Zhuo's property, but it should be mine." Can not be less."
She glanced at Zhuo Qingke: "But when I get my property back, I will leave it to you.
Just take it to Zhuo Wangsun and let him help you manage it, and all the profits will belong to you. "
Zhuo Qingke closed his eyes: "Since sister-in-law still wants her share, why have she never returned to the house to inquire about it these days?"
Bai Nanyu's eyebrows curved slightly: "I live here and I have made my attitude clear."
Zhuo Qingke seemed to understand.
Bai Nanyu lives in the Champion House, and there are many people who know her whereabouts, and there are many secret rumors about her.
With her charming appearance, she goes in and out of the prince's house day and night, saying that the relationship between men and women is innocent, who would believe it?
Bai Nanyu came to live here. From the outside, it was almost confirmed that she had a close relationship with the champion.
Who dares to take her part?
So she didn't have to do anything. She just stayed in the Hou Mansion and completed the best fight for her share of the industry.
She is in the Hou Mansion, and the less she shows up to grab it, the more share she will give away.
The relationship is subtle.
Bai Nanyu's rank is much higher than Zhuo Qingke's.
She ate one grape and just picked the second one when she suddenly stood up and said:
"Qing Ke, I have something to do and I have to go out." After saying that, he left the small courtyard and quickened his pace. His hips swayed through several corridors, a small bamboo forest, and a winding corridor across an inner lake. Finally, he came Go to Huo Qubing's study in the inner house.
But it was General Huo who called her over and asked her if she had anything to ask.
Opening the door of the study, Bai Nanyu came to the low mat near the window and knelt down, calling softly: "Master Hou."
Huo Qubing, who was on the opposite side, said, "Do you know this bronze tripod?"
Bai Nanyu looked at the small tripod on the low mat, shook her head, and then looked at the bamboo slips in Zonghengce: "What did you leave behind?"
"Zi is dead, these are the artifacts he sealed in Zonghengce."
Bai Nanyu picked up the small cauldron and looked at it carefully.
"I remember you said before that there has been a rumor within Zonghengdao that the Three Sons can get in touch with the 'immortals' and listen to the immortal sounds.
After discovering the banned existence in the imperial mausoleum, I thought it was the Immortal Master who used the jade sword to contact Hezi and even the other two of the three sons..."
Bai Nanyu heard the unfinished meaning in Huo Qubing's words: "Master Hou suspects that this bronze tripod is the source of the fairy sounds circulating within Zonghengdao?
Not the jade sword, nor the existence in the imperial tomb? "
Huo Qubing: "You shake the bronze tripod, but don't put the power of cultivation into it to try."
Bai Nanyu gently shook the bronze tripod, and a vivid look of surprise soon appeared in her charming peach blossom eyes.
When the copper tripod is shaken, the copper balls inside it roll and the array is intertwined, as if a certain connection is triggered.
A low voice will sound in the deep sky. Listen carefully, it is actually describing the method of cultivation, mainly the vertical and horizontal technique.
After a while, Bai Nanyu became more and more surprised.
The voice in the cauldron later talked about levels beyond the realm of heaven and man.
"The practice in this cauldron involves semi-saints or even saints? Who can describe such a profound practice?"
The first thing Bai Nanyu thought of was the legendary 'immortal'.
The sound in the cauldron was combined with the handwriting that appeared on the bamboo slips when the cauldron wall was shaken, and things became quite intriguing.
Huo Qubing said: "Go back and get ready. Meet me at the gate of the mansion. Let's go out."
Bai Nanyu got up and left.
In a short while, Bai Nanyu, who changed her shoes and socks and put on an apricot-colored cloak, boarded Huo Qubing's carriage outside the mansion and went straight to the north gate of Weiyang Palace.
At noon, the sun is high.
In the embroidered clothing hall, Huo Qubing was on the top floor and saw Ru Bohu wearing a dark red embroidered clothing official robe.
"Last night there was a big noise in Lishan, the energy was flying into the sky, and the beasts were trembling.
The embroidered clothes messenger under my command sent back the news in the early morning that the beasts died tragically all over the mountains and plains in Lishan Mountain, and the blood and energy of the corpses were completely absorbed by unknown forces. "Ru Bohu asked in a questioning tone.
"Something happened in the mausoleum under Lishan Mountain last night, and it has been resolved."
Huo Qubing sat down opposite.
Bai Nanyu accompanied him.
After sitting down, Huo Qubing handed over a bamboo slip.
Ru Bohu took it over and looked through it, saying, "The list of the remaining members of the Zonghengdao?"
He looked again and frowned subconsciously: "The involvement is not small. The clans, officials, and Jianghu sects all have remnants of the Zonghengdao."
Previously, the high-level buildings of Zonghengdao, as well as the two secret mountain gates, had all been cleared.
But the other group of people in Zonghengdao who are scattered all over the world have not suffered much damage.
The roster in front of me is to uproot this remnant.
On the scroll was the list of remaining members of the Zonghengdao that Zi carried with him.
Ru Bohu flipped through the list: "Zonghengdao is headed by three sons and nine deities, and under its jurisdiction are chief officials such as chief historians, chief ministers, chief ministers, chief ministers, and other officials.
This is completely arranged according to the official system. Do they secretly think that they are in charge of the world?
It's ridiculous to give yourself an official position. "
He continued: "Since they are sorted by official positions in the court, to be disrespectful, shouldn't there be an emperor above the three sons?"
Huo Qubing: "According to the current situation, the 'imperial throne' in Zonghengdao is not a standing position and is vacant most of the time."
Ru Bohu: "So, if we wipe out the people on this list, there will only be one fish in Zonghengdao that slipped through the net, the one who controls the army?"
Huo Qubing: "Zi seems to be looking for someone, maybe the person in charge of the army.
The scroll given to you contains clues for tracing a certain person's traces. Please check it out as soon as possible. "
Ru Bohu nodded in agreement, and Huo Qubing stood up to leave, but suddenly sat back down and took out the Zonghengce letter left by his son.
Lines of writing appeared on the brief book again: "What happened in Han Dynasty last night? We are ready. What are your plans for the next step?"
