Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 976 Make the Ladies of the World Go Crazy
Chapter 98 makes ladies all over the world go crazy

In the history of Datang, when black gunpowder first appeared, it was quickly forgotten.After all, Xuanwumen was a taboo in Datang.Unless it is a birthday star drinking arsenic, no one dares to mention this matter.

Of course, the first actual combat grenade also quickly disappeared from people's memory.

However, the explosion in Songbang Fort made the Tibetans present feel terrified.The iron-core wooden city gate wrapped in iron sheets was turned into powder under the action of the huge kinetic energy of the gunpowder.The kinetic energy with nowhere to vent finally swept towards the city gate tower and the Tubo soldiers on the city wall. Neither the city gate tower nor these Tubo soldiers could stop the spread of the shock wave.

Finally, the dust cleared.

The original tall and majestic gate tower disappeared, and there were only rubble and half-cut walls everywhere. Not only that, but the urn behind the city wall was full of dead bodies of Tubo people, and they lay very quietly on the ground.

As if they had made an appointment, the thousands of Tubo soldiers inside and outside the Songbangbao city all stood still, their eyes and ears were bleeding, and they tried to stand up, but they fell to the ground after all.

This group of several thousand people suddenly collapsed like a sand tower on the beach being thrown by the waves.

Even the Tibetans who were not affected by the black powder did not think it was the power of the black powder. They naturally believed that the rising orange-red fireball and the roar that was ten thousand times stronger than the loud thunder came from the power of gods and demons .

Originally, holding Andonaji, who was sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, his mind went blank.

He stared blankly at the huge gap in Songbang Castle, and muttered to himself: "God...this is not human power!"

Not only Andonaji, but even the Tubo people in Songbangbao summed up black powder as the power of gods.

Looking at those Tubo people who seemed to be immobilized, Chen Ying laughed loudly and said: "Soldiers, let me rush in!"

Songtsen Gampo's core troops staying behind at the Songbang Fort Army, like mice under a cat's paw, knelt on the ground, trembling.

Chen Ying's distance was getting closer and closer, and finally Chen Ying led the hooked and sickle cavalry into the gap and rushed into Songbang Fort.

However, none of the Tubo people stopped him, and no one dared to shoot arrows at Chen Ying.

In the eyes of countless Tubo people, the tall and thin young man from Tang Dynasty in front of him is not a human being at all, but a god.

Otherwise, there would be no such terrifying power in the world.

Almost no arrow wasted, no shot was fired.The capital of the Tubo Dynasty was successfully captured by Chen Ying.

Watching Chen Ying lead the cavalry of the Tang army into Songbangbao, the anti-Songtsan Gampo allied forces also roared, "Go into the city... into the city!"

A strange and spectacular scene appeared. The soldiers of the Tang Army and the anti-Songtsen Gampo Allied Forces flooded into the city of Songbangbao like a tide. The floodwater from the collapse of the dike rushed into a storage lake. The lake couldn't hold on and collapsed completely, so that the water flowed everywhere.

The minds of the Tubo officers and men were completely in turmoil. Even if Songtsan Gampo was present at this time, they might not be able to effectively control them.What's more, Songtsen Gampo didn't even know where he fled.

When the Tang army Chen Ying led thousands of cavalry to enter the city, most of the Tubo soldiers fled outside the city instead. Those who stayed in the city had no fighting spirit at all.

There was basically no fierce fighting in this siege battle. Chen Yingce walked on the city wall, looked at the Tubo soldiers and civilians who prostrated themselves and begged to surrender, and suddenly let out a sneer.It was noon, the best time of the day, but Chen Ying saw the twilight of a barbaric and strong family under the bright white sun.

At this time, more and more anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition soldiers poured into Songbangbao City. When they entered the city, they would involuntarily stop and watch in front of the gap that was blown down by more than [-] catties of black powder.

All the tribal leaders of the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition army became silent as they watched this scene.

Although Songbangbao was successfully captured, all the tribal leaders who opposed the Songtsen Gampo coalition army felt heavy in their hearts.

Andonaji said to a leader next to him: "It's dangerous, fortunately we are not on the opposite side of General Chen!"

"That's right..." All the tribal leaders who opposed the Songtsan Gampo Allied Forces felt that they had turned around from the gate of hell, and many of them had wet backs.

They are thankful for their choice of the right solution, and also thankful that this is God's will.

They formed an anti-Songtsan Gampo alliance, perhaps not taking advantage of Chen Ying's intentions.They all know very well that the Tubo snowfield is a blessed land bestowed by God to the Tubo people, and only the Tubo people can survive on this land.When the Tang people came to Tubo, no matter how strong a man was, he would be weaker than a sheep in half a month at most.

However, now they absolutely cannot afford to be dissatisfied with Chen Ying.

Before the impact, Chen Ying appeared in Andonaji's mind, and seemed to be muttering something, as if it was some kind of spell.

Andonaji muttered silently: "In this life, I will never be an enemy of Datang!"

Thinking of this, Andonaji's heart skipped a beat, and he yelled at Buqu beside him: "Kill all the Tubo people!"

Of course, all he chased and killed were Tibetans outside the city.

As for the inside of the city, seeing that no one was resisting, the soldiers of the anti-Songtsan Gampo coalition forces all stayed outside the city, not because they didn't want to enter the city, but because they didn't dare.

After all, it's harvest time.

Songbangbao City already belonged to Chen Ying, and they all longed for Chen Ying to save some soup for them when they ate meat.

The palace of Songtsan Gampo is very luxurious and resplendent.

Many of the wooden pillars inside are made of wood similar to small-leaf red sandalwood, but if you look closely, you can tell that it is not small-leaf red sandalwood.

Under the leadership of the generals of the Tang army, Chen Ying and Ma Zhou walked in first.

As soon as he walked inside, Chen Ying was stunned.

He saw a white jade bowl on the table, although it was not suet jade, it was also Kunlun white jade.

In fact, Kunlun jade and Hetian jade are in the same vein, and they are collectively called Hetian jade in later generations.

Such a big piece of white jade made into a bowl?It must be too extravagant!
Ma Zhou also saw this jade bowl, gasped, and said in surprise, "Is this a jade bowl?"

He moved quite quickly, ran to the table, picked up the jade bowl and looked at it.

Chen Ying stepped forward and looked, except for the one jade bowl on the table, there were six white jade bowls of the same size, all of which were exactly the same in color, luster, and even the texture of the carvings.Chen Ying would not be surprised if such an identical jade bowl could be produced by machinery in later generations, but it would be even rarer if it was done entirely by hand.

Just about to play with the jade bowl for a while, Chen Ying accidentally looked up and saw two white jade swords hanging in the center of the hall, about three feet three inches long, which is too short for a real sword. But you must know that this is Hetian Baiyu, a sword polished from a whole piece of Hetian Baiyu!

With a gold handle and a scabbard inlaid with precious stones, Chen Ying was really speechless.

With the manufacturing methods of this era, whether it is a jade bowl or a jade sword, there is no cutting technology of later generations, and it can only be manually polished bit by bit, especially the jade bowl. The volume of the bowl center is all ground away. Looking at the volume of these six bowls, it is almost five or six kilograms, and about six or seven kilograms of Hetian Baiyu was wasted.

"What a fucking prodigal!" Chen Ying's eyes were straightened, and he hurriedly said, "Help me take those two jade swords off."

"Okay." Guo Luo climbed up the table, took down two white jade swords, and handed them over.

When Ma Zhou counted the seizures, he crossed out the six Hetian white jade bowls and the two white jade swords.

Chen Ying immediately ordered: "Have someone search the palace, and if you find all this kind of nephrite, bring them to me."

"Yes, I'll let someone search it right now." Guo Luo didn't ask anything, turned around and called the guards to search the entire palace.

Chen Ying stood still, feeling very excited. It is best to search for more gold and silver treasures, the more the better, even if it comes to a ton or two tons, no matter how much, Chen Ying will not dislike it!

About a quarter of an hour later, the guards presented some good things one after another.

Guo Luo came out holding a small box, and he stepped forward and respectfully said, "My lord, there are good things!"

Chen Ying said excitedly: "What did you find?"

Guo Luo hurriedly handed over the small box in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is a jewelry box that I found in a room. In addition to the nephrite you mentioned, there are also light beads and crow green."

The so-called light beads are rubies, and crow blues are sapphires.

Chen Ying seldom pays attention to gemstones, and he will not be able to afford them in later generations.However, he knows that the natural resources of rubies and sapphires are very rich in Myanmar, and one thing is that the rubies and sapphires in Myanmar are a little more expensive than other places.

Take sapphire as an example. When it comes to sapphire, people’s first reaction is Sri Lanka, but in fact, sapphires of the same color, color, shape, and carat are much cheaper in Sri Lanka than in Myanmar.Ruby is needless to say.

Chen Yinglai became interested, stretched out his hand to take it, and said, "Let me take a look."

Without explaining anything, he opened the jewelry box.Seven or eight gold and silver products appeared inside, and without exception, these gold and silver products were all inlaid with various precious stones.

The first thing that caught the eye was a gold ring. As for the gold weighing about one or two taels, it was directly ignored by Chen Ying.He picked up the ring, and said in surprise with some doubts: "It's actually a glass kind of emperor green ring noodles?"

Ma Zhou didn't understand these things either, so he asked suspiciously, "Isn't this a crystal?"

"Hehe, it's a bit troublesome to explain. If you're interested, I'll teach you later." Chen Ying said casually.

The quality of the ring surface is very fine, the crystal particles are dense, and the naked eye can see the fluorescence, the texture is fine and pure and flawless, and the color is pure, bright, rich and uniform, which is very in line with the characteristics of the imperial green glass.

However, it is still not certain, Chen Ying continued to observe, the surface of the ring has no graininess or brittleness when observed with the naked eye. Generally speaking, the mineral crystals of glass jadeite are very fine and uniform in size, which is why it is formed like this, and the surface of the ring is highly transparent. The glass luster gives people the overall feeling that it is as clear and transparent as glass, and the type of glass can be determined without a doubt.

The rest just need to distinguish whether it is imperial green or not.

The tone of the face is rich, rare, noble and elegant, like the essence of the color. Its color is thick and pleasant, without any color cast in the rich green. The green is positive, the green is hot, and the green is thick but still beautiful It's really imperial green.

It was the first time for Chen Ying to see the imperial green jadeite of the glass variety for the first time. He couldn't help being excited, and couldn't help but put this gold ring on his finger, and said with a smile, "Hey, don't say it, it's just right!"

At this moment, Guo Luo took out a gold hairpin and said: "This is a good thing, you can give it to the little lady to play with!"

Guo Luo's so-called little lady is actually Chen Ying's daughter Li Ruoxi.

"Huh, pigeon's blood ruby?" Chen Ying's eyes lit up. He was attracted by the glass emperor green ring just now, but he didn't notice that there was another pigeon's blood ruby. He picked up the hairpin and pointed it at the light.

This ruby ​​is in the shape of a drop of water and is inlaid on the hairpin. According to preliminary judgments, its color is as rich as pigeon blood. It is almost impossible to judge to know that it is indeed a pigeon blood ruby.

Chen Ying was overjoyed at this moment, with just the precious stones and jade looted from the royal palace, Chen Ying earned back the military expenses of sending troops to Tubo.

There are not only a large number of gemstones in the Tubo royal palace, but also a great variety of gemstones, ranging from nephrite Hetian white jade, jasper, and even black jade, to various gemstones.

What emerald, what opal, everything.

Chen Ying shouted wildly in his heart: "I got rich, I really got rich!"

Generally speaking, rubies need more or less heat treatment and cutting to achieve the ideal state, but the value of burning will be much cheaper than that of unfired. The above can be collected, and the heat-treated ruby ​​generally has a higher collection value when it is more than three carats.

Obviously, the ruby ​​on the hairpin in front of me is unfired, and it may be naturally formed in the shape of water droplets.

Pigeon's blood red, natural water drop shape, this ruby ​​is priceless, Chen Ying has reason to believe that once these jewelry and gemstones are transported to Chang'an, they will be enough to drive the noble ladies in Chang'an and even the whole world crazy.

Ma Zhou suddenly said: "My lord, what do you think of this string of crow blue necklaces?"

"Hand, grass" Chen Ying said dumbfounded: "Is it such a large string of sapphires?"

The sapphire on this necklace is the purest blue, not other green, yellow, gray, etc., and the blue is bright, and the blue makes people feel thrilling.

Chen Ying took a deep breath and said in surprise: "My God, is this the legendary royal blue?"

Just after packing up the jewelry, about sixteen or seven bulky large boxes were carried into the hall by soldiers of the Tang army with great difficulty.

Chen Ying said suspiciously: "This is..."
