The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1078: The Imperial Seal of the Great Yan Dynasty

"How can we be sure that the seal is real?" An Yu seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder and asked persistently.

Sheng Yuan was originally worried about how the situation would develop, and upon hearing this he couldn't help but want to touch his forehead.

Brother, it doesn't matter whether the seal is real or fake now. It really fits the saying that true is also false and false is also true. As long as people outside believe that the seal is real, this storm will be enough to surge!

"But I just want to know whether it's true or not!" An Yu had his own logic. "It's a big deal anyway, how can we not figure it out? That would be a shame! It would also make people laugh at us!"

Although Sheng Yuan didn't say directly that he was curious, he looked at the captain of the guards at the same time as An Yu.

"My Lord, young marquis, as you know, there are people in our caravan who are good at identification and familiar with antiques. The caravan leader gathered them together for research, and we are 90% sure that it is genuine."

"Then there's still 10% left!" An Yu was a little dissatisfied. How could there be any ambiguity about whether the jade seal was real or fake? Real is real, fake is fake! Are you buying jade that is 90% real?

"The remaining 10% needs to be confirmed on a sunny day. However, the clouds were thick and the light was a little dim in the past two days. It was not until this morning when the golden crow appeared and shone brightly that we were able to confirm whether the seal was real." The head guard said as he took out the wooden box from his sleeve pocket and presented it respectfully with both hands. "The leader of the caravan originally wanted to come in person to report, but he didn't expect that the news would spread all over the city in the blink of an eye. In order to avoid omissions, he activated the emergency contact method and entrusted the task of handing over the seal to my subordinates."

“The authenticity of the seal hasn’t been confirmed yet, but the news has already spread... There are so many spies in this caravan!” Sheng Yuan was still pondering the impact of the Great Yan Jade Seal reappearing in the world, while An Yu had already taken the wooden box and placed it in front of her.

The palm-sized box was gently opened, and what came into view was a jade seal of standard style.

The seal of the jade seal is three inches square and two inches high, with a three-inch flying dragon and auspicious clouds standing on the top. The whole seal looks exquisite and simple, and quite extraordinary.

"It is said that if you hold the jade seal of Dayan in your palm, facing the bright sunlight, you can see nine dragons flying in the clouds surrounding the surface of the seal. I don't know whether it is true or not." An Yu looked at Sheng Yuan eagerly.

"Yes." Sheng Yuan stood up slowly and asked the chief guard as he walked, "Does the commander know whether the rumor is true or not?"

The chief guard said hurriedly, "I dare not try it lightly, but according to what the caravan leader said, it should be true."

Sheng Yuan nodded slowly after hearing this: "If that's the case, it's something to look forward to."

As she spoke, she and An Yu stood side by side in the yard, raising the seal towards the sun.

Sure enough, the jade seal, which was originally of simple color, immediately became clear and crystal clear under the sunlight.

Not long after that, the inner layer of the seal seemed to have floating light flowing. Sheng Yuan and An Yu looked closely and saw nine dragon patterns interlaced and swirling. It was not known whether it was because Sheng Yuan had held it for too long or the light made the seal warm, but the originally blurry pattern gradually became clearer and the picture became more vivid.

The scene of nine dragons chasing each other with glittering dragon scales gradually becomes vivid and realistic, especially when they are frolicking in the clouds and competing for the dragon ball, the scene is even more lifelike and vivid.

"No wonder this jade seal shocked the world and became famous when it first came out! It really lives up to its reputation, it is truly a treasure!" Even though An Yu was used to seeing all kinds of treasures, he was still shocked when he saw this kind of jade seal.

"Although the jade seal is good, it should not be in our hands! It is suitable to be placed in the treasure pavilion for permanent collection so that future generations can gain knowledge; otherwise, release it back to the mountains and let it roam freely, which can be regarded as returning it to its origin! It is better than keeping it in our hands and becoming a hot potato." Although Sheng Yuan was also amazed at the jade seal, she retained some rationality.

The more they prove how precious the seal is, the bigger the trouble they will get into.

According to Sheng Yuan's original intention, although this jade seal is valuable, its value lies in the exquisite craftsmanship it contains and the historical value it represents.

As for the practical value, she thinks it is almost nothing.

After all, this dynasty was inherited from the Former Chen Dynasty, and the jade seal used was made by the Former Chen Dynasty. In other words, the jade seal on the imperial desk of Emperor Yanping is the one that can truly command the court.

In other words, the Great Yan Jade Seal in Sheng Yuan's hand is like a tiger talisman of a new generation, and all its practical value exists in the past.

"What you said is of course reasonable, but the problem is that the world's view may be just the opposite. I'm afraid the emperor also wants this jade seal." An Yu thought about it carefully and could understand Sheng Yuan's point of view, but the reality at the moment was that it didn't matter what Sheng Yuan thought, and it didn't matter how he, An Yu, understood it. As long as everyone wanted to take it for themselves, then their team of governors would have no peace of mind.

"First, once the seal is found, other forces may join in the fun. Even Qianqi and the Princess's Mansion will not let it go... Not to mention, the Emperor will not allow us to throw away the seal. The guards he sent to protect us will take the seal seriously once they hear the news."

An Yu spoke the truth, but it made Sheng Yuan even more depressed.

However, Sheng Yuanyuan was a person who became more courageous after more setbacks. After a few breaths of depression, his eyes began to become clearer and more determined: "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. The most urgent thing is to take the initiative and send this seal to Kyoto to catch those people off guard!"

"Shall we stay here as bait?" An Yu did not feel dissatisfied when he heard this, but instead felt a little excited and expectant.

"Bait? We have to see if those big fish can eat it!" Sheng Yuan held the jade seal, looked outside the posthouse, and chuckled.
