The scroll of "Lianshan Yi" that Monkey King found had very light traces of blood on the scratches on the bamboo slips, exuding the same very light smell.
As far as Zhao Qing knows, the sense of smell of apes is not much better than that of humans. If the ape can identify the bamboo slips through its sense of smell, then people with much higher skills than him can also identify it.
If such a bamboo slip is a clue to King Zhou Mu's treasure, Zhao Qing believes that it is indeed possible.
"What are the clues about that treasure?" After thinking for a while, she looked at Xu Shiliu on the ground and asked.
"If I tell you, will you let me go?" Xu Shiliu grabbed the ground with both hands and exerted force several times, trying to get rid of Zhao Qing's shoes on him, but was stomped by Zhao Qing and was shaken away Strengthen the whole body's muscles and bones.
He felt that there was no room for escape, so he had to make the topic as long as possible to delay time. But now that he had reached the end, he had to end his topic and could no longer do the same thing.
Seeing a hint of hesitation flash across Zhao Qing's face, he quickly spoke:
"In Panyu Ridge where the villain belongs, the big leader is only half a step away from Shenjin. There are also nine masters of Huajin who are powerful. There is no need for the girl to provoke such an opponent and delay herself because of the villain's humble life. future."
"If the girl let go of the little horse today, I promise that in the next life I will be a cow or a horse to repay you."
"What are you talking about? Are you talking about it or not?" Zhao Qing stepped hard and pressed on the opponent's back. Yin and yang energy rushed into Xu Shiliu's body, making him groan in pain.
"The sealing of Yan Cave in Panyu Mountains is said to be the trace left by the war between Wu and Yue. It is said that the general of Wu State, Wang Sunluo, and the great commander of Yue State, Zhuji Ying, fought in Kuaiji Shandong. Wu Gou fought against Yue Ge, and a aftermath hit Panyu. In the middle of Yuling Mountains, a blazing rock cave hundreds of feet deep was left.”
Zheng Dan added on the side: "Seven or eight years later, Cang Fushi, an abandoned disciple of the Tianzhu sect, settled in Fengyan Cave and recruited many criminal masters from the surrounding cities. Eventually, it developed into the first branch of the Kuaiji Mountains. Thirty-two large cottages.”
There are always sixteen feudal lords in the Yue Kingdom starting from the King of Yue, such as "Lord of Yaocheng", "Lord of Yongjiang", etc. They were the leaders of the Yue tribes who were originally canonized by Yunchang and enjoyed the right of autonomy.
With the power of merging with surrounding tribes, Yunchang expanded the territory and became the king of Yue. He left his son Gou Jian with a powerful Yue kingdom with a territory of more than 100,000 miles.
After Fu Chai released Gou Jian and returned to his country, he first granted him a land of ten thousand li, and then an area of eighty thousand li. However, he still said that his country was "unfinished" and the scope was not as large as that of Yunchang's period.
In addition to the sixteen feudal lords, many sects in Yue also enjoyed certain autonomy, such as Shen Wushan, Gumi Sect, Pinggu, Tianzhu Sect, etc.
The Tianzhu Sect is the leader of the seven major sects in the Kuaiji Mountains. There are several senior elders in the sect who are in the middle six realms, and their strength is not inferior to that of any of the feudal lords of the Yue Kingdom.
The big leader of Fengyan Cave, Cang Fushiya, is an abandoned disciple of the Tianzhu Sect, but he is able to lively and active outside Kuaiji Mountain. Obviously, his identity as an "abandoned disciple" has a hidden meaning, and he may still be protected by the Tianzhu Sect.
"The bandits have a backing, don't I?" Zhao Qing understood that Zheng Dan was worried that she would get into trouble, but she was not very afraid.
A master of Gang Jin would not rush to retaliate just because a subordinate who had just entered Hua Jin died. It would take a long time just to find out the specific information.
By that time, I would have probably entered Kuaiji City.
"That's it. In fact, there is no need to torture any more. It's better to kill him. Even if these gangsters say it, there is no guarantee that they are not malicious and deliberately misleading." She smelled the smell of blood around her and felt a little uncomfortable.
"It makes sense." Zhao Qing grabbed Xu Shiliu's trachea from the air and slowly tightened it. What she hesitated before was actually whether to simply execute the other party?
"Blood...it's blood..." He barely squeezed out a few words from his throat. Xu Daliu tilted his head and died, his face full of fear and unwillingness.
There are also blood stains on the bamboo slips, which seems to match. But if the bamboo slips are really a clue to the treasure, what did the person who brought the news think?
Zhao Qing looked at Zheng Dan who was thoughtfully beside him. The most important thing now is to improve the strength as soon as possible to fight against the Wu Kingdom's secret guards, rather than looking for illusory treasures.
Two caravan guards stood in the distance, bargaining with the few slave traders who were reluctant to abandon their slaves and run away after seeing human lives in the yard.
Female slaves were relatively scarce in the market. Most of the good-looking slaves were bought early, or were given to local officials at low prices by slave traders, and few remained.
The only female slaves in the market at this moment were a few women in their thirties and forties, and two female savages from the Sanyi Land, who could not serve as Zheng Dan's substitutes at all.
Zhao Qing watched the caravan guards select a dozen male slaves who looked loyal and honest, but had no idea of redeeming and liberating them.
To be honest, as a slave of the Duanmu family's caravan, the quality of life may not be worse than that of ordinary civilians. Most of these "loyal and honest" slaves have been slaves for generations and do not have the spirit of resistance that yearns for free people.
Confucianism is also a school that cares more about slaves. It is recorded in "The Analects of Confucius" that when Confucius' stable was on fire, he first asked "Did anyone get hurt?" instead of asking about the horses first. This is more common than slave owners who believe that horses are more valuable than slaves. The performance is much stronger.
At this moment, a group of soldiers with guns broke into the courtyard, led by a strong man in robes and armor, holding a golden ax in his hand.
"Which one is Miss Zhao? The Prime Minister invites you to come into the house for a talk. Duanmu Shuliang is also there."
…
To the east of Kuaiji City, at the Yuewang Palace, the sun is approaching noon.
A high stone platform with a door on the front. After walking through the long corridor and passing several tight guards, we arrived at a huge stone chamber.
Gou Jian, dressed in regular clothes, stood quietly in the center of the stone room, looking up with a solemn look on his face.
Above him, a huge sphere was suspended. If you look closely, you can see that this big sphere is actually composed of countless large swords and small swords.
There are jet black swords, pure white swords, jade swords, and bronze swords. They look dazzling under the bright lights around them, like a celestial sphere shining with brilliant stars.
Gou Jian made a move with his right hand, and the originally densely packed sword balls were separated, revealing the three swords in the center, Buguang, Juque, and Haocao.
After a short time passed, the Bu Guangjian, which was circling around the giant tower and Haocao, also lowered and fell into Gou Jian's hand.
After he came to the throne, he summoned the most skilled craftsmen from all over the country to forge this sword. Its power is as powerful as Zhan Lu and Chun Jun. However, the skill of the sword maker is not as good as that of Ou Yezi, so it is even less powerful than Ou Yezi, but it is still better. Two swords, Juque and Haocao.
After wiping the blade of the Bu Light Sword for a while, Gou Jian relied on the sword array in the capital to collect general news about Kuaiji City in recent days.
"Mr. Ji Ran said that several experts need to be sent to the southeast?"
