The Rise of the Marquis

Chapter 52
"What do you want these things for?" Dongfang asked curiously.

Wang Jian didn't answer much. While putting away the mysterious liquid, he played with the crystal clear white jade in his hand, which he picked up on the battlefield.

He asked Dongfang Jin: "What is this?"

Dongfang Jin didn't want to answer, but he didn't expect the other party to mock her contemptuously, "I thought you people from the Kingdom of Heaven are well-informed and knowledgeable."

"Huh, who doesn't know, this is just ordinary Lantian jade, as much as I want in my family!" Dongfang Jin couldn't help but said, and she was quite proud when talking about her family: "Only the princes of the small eastern countries would regard it as a treasure. , this kind of jade is rounder, softer and more transparent than ordinary jade, and it feels cold to the touch. Wearing it all year round can prolong life, and wearing it by warlocks can increase spells.

This is something that my big Han Lantian abounds in, and it is not a rare thing in China.Warlocks and generals will wear them, especially warlocks.

The aristocrats of all sizes in the east also followed suit. This thing is obviously most useful for warlocks and generals fighting on the battlefield, but they are simply proud of wearing Lantian jade.

There are many in my house. Grandpa’s wine glasses, jugs, and tableware are all made of Lantian jade. I also have a pair of jade saddles. " she said quite proudly.

"So you have a lot of Lantian jade in the Han Dynasty?"

"Naturally, especially near the capital, Lantian County in the north is rich in production. I heard that similar jade has been found in Hanzhong, Wudu, Dunhuang and other counties, but it is not as famous as the jade in Lantian."

Wang Jian nodded and praised, "You know a lot."

"Of course!" Dongfang Jin raised her delicate chin, quite proudly.

Wang Jian held this piece of white jade, but his heart was filled with excitement, because it looked like jade to others, but he could clearly feel the aura that was so rich that it condensed into substance lay quietly in the palm of his hand.

This is not a jade stone at all, but a spirit stone!

An incomparably rare treasure in later generations, the crystallization of the most intense aura, a treasure that cultivators can't dream of!

Wang Jianqiang nodded calmly, but his heart was already turned upside down.

This thing is not just as simple as enhancing his strength and improving his cultivation, as long as he makes a suitable spirit-inducing talisman, he can draw out the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, and with the source of spiritual energy, he can use the formation!
These spirit stones were very scarce in the world in the past, and the treasures of spirit stones were mostly used for cultivation and were reluctant to be used in various formations. Small formations must use at least one finger-sized spirit stone, and the most complicated ones The composite large formation can cover hundreds of miles and requires tens of thousands of spirit stones.

That was something that the immortal cultivators on Earth never dared to think about, and could only study it in their dreams.

Although a junior like him has recited all kinds of formation diagrams very proficiently, he has never had the chance to practice it. But now if this thing is really what Dongfang Jin said, then he will have a chance to try it out in the future.

In this battle alone, he used his spiritual sense to search the battlefield, and found six pieces of so-called "Lantian Jade" on the corpse, and three pieces of so-called "Lantian Jade" in the mud and grass, and exchanged copper coins for two pieces from the soldiers. Wang Jian put away all of them, feeling extremely excited.

"I'm also interested in these things."

"You also want to imitate Dongfang? You are not a gifted warlock." Dongfang Jin sneered.

Wang Jian glanced at her, "Can't you like it if you're not a warlock?"

"Are you going to use it to buy people's hearts?"

"It's useful. If you know the seller, you can contact me."

"Why should I help you?"

"Then I will go to your princess for help, and she will give the order then."

"You..." Dongfang Jin blushed with anger, but finally snorted: "I will repair a book and send it to my father, but you better understand that it is not cheap to get things from Guanzhong to Dongfang."

"I know, so please trouble Miss Dongfang." Wang Jian cupped his hands and said with a smile: "But don't forget, you still owe me something if you lose the bet. Come to my tent in a few days."

"You..." Dongfang Jin's expression changed: "What do you want to do!"

"Let me show you what impermanence is." Wang Jian looked her up and down with a smirk: "You don't have to be talented to become a warlock."

Dongfang Jin looked at him in surprise: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You will know when the time comes." Wang Jian's consciousness unfolded, and then he said: "Someone has arrived, and probably brought me news about Wu'an."

"Just brag." Dongfang Jin's voice fell, and several people walked over, surrounded by a person, and Sun Difang, who took the lead after saluting in front of him, said, "Marquis, the envoy of Wu'an is here!"

After the words fell, the middle-aged man dressed as a literati surrounded by the crowd adjusted his clothes, and then stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Marquis, I am entrusting you with a handwritten letter by the order of Duke Wu'an. Please be kind to the Marquis."

Under Dongfang Jin's surprised and disbelieving eyes, Wang Jian took the letter, opened the wax-sealed envelope himself, and read it on the spot.

After looking at ten lines, Wang Jian handed the letter to Sun Difang for safekeeping, and then said to the envoy in front of him: "Your envoy has come from a long way, please come to the big tent to catch the wind and wash away the dust.

Afterwards, I will write a letter and send an envoy back to Marquis Wu'an to express my gratitude. "

The envoy bowed his hands, and was taken down to rest by his own soldiers. As soon as he left, everyone around him cast their gazes.

In front of everyone, Wang Jian said with a smile: "The Marquis of Wu'an agreed to form an alliance with us. In five days, food and grass will be transported from the west to support us. At the same time, they have already Chen Bing on the northern border of Maling City and will join us in attacking Mu Sheng. Old thief!"

In an instant, cheers erupted from the crowd, and many people jumped up excitedly.The eyes of Dongfang Jin who followed Wang Jiantian had changed from initial surprise to inconceivable
She looked at Wang Jian and couldn't help but said, "Did you know this result from the beginning?"

"It depends on man's will." Wang Jian turned his head, "I'm not an old god. I told you earlier that if I win, they will help me, and if I lose, they will sit on the sidelines. This is a matter of probability."

"Hmph, you still have self-knowledge." Dongfang Jin couldn't help but chuckle, extraordinarily brilliant.

It was also the first time for Wang Jian to see her smile like this. After a few more glances, Dongfang Jin noticed his gaze and stopped smiling, and asked solemnly, "What are you going to do next?"

Wang Jian looked at the crowd celebrating, and ordered to announce that Lord Wu An had agreed to form an alliance, so that officials, warlocks and soldiers knew that they were not fighting alone, so as to boost morale.

At the same time, Wu Yi was asked to post notices of the soldiers and the military exploits of the officers and men to inform the whole army that if there is no objection, they will be rewarded according to the merits in five days.

After finishing all this, he turned around and said to the pouting Dongfang Jin, who was already a little angry for waiting, "Keep attacking!"
