Book with Emperor

Chapter 69
The guest travels from Fuhe to Dongxiang, and the westerly wind shines on the Beijiang River.Jun asked Jinyi He Nanguan, half of the river is Linchuan and half of the Canglan.

This is a poem that has been circulated in Linchuan City in the northern part of Daxi for decades. It describes the words of a Linchuan man who guides travelers, and it is widely sung in that area.

Linchuan, a city that has changed hands three times in 30 years, everyone gradually forgets that it was the capital of Xiangwei a hundred years ago, and that Xiangwei was a big country occupying half of the north a hundred years ago.

At this moment, Qin Guanyue finally understood Xiao Mingyang's real purpose.

It's no wonder that in this vast Canglan continent, everyone thinks they are the descendants of the emperor, and the emperors of various countries will never be obsessed with a certain lost city.

However, Xiangwei is different.

"Hundreds of years ago when Kamikaze ruled Canglan, the first thing the Son of Heaven did was to exile all the royal families of the Shangyi Kingdom to the northern border, and for the next 200 years, the Shangyi clan occupied the northern border and established Guoxiang. Taken from Yun The idea of ​​rising up from Longxiang and turning him into a king is the predecessor of Xiangwei."

The wrinkled old Zhong Jijiu stroked his beard and slowly talked about this history, which attracted everyone's attention.

Li Xuanxi asked curiously, "Xiang? Then why are you called Xiangwei now?"

"Because the Kamikaze Dynasty once again sent troops to defeat the state of Xiang, which severely damaged its vitality and changed its name to Xiangwei."

Zhong Jijiu's tone was full of exclamation, "Xiangwei...yunqilongxiang, if it is not finished, you must not be king."

Yue Wentian's eyes moved slightly, "The Kamikaze Dynasty wants the Shangyi clan to never stand up."

Qin Guanyue was born in Qin Tianjian, Tianxia Zangshu Pavilion, so he has read this period of history, but the reason for it is not recorded in the book.

But there was a descendant of the legendary Kamikaze Dynasty in front of her, so she looked at Li Xuanxi, "Why is the Kamikaze Dynasty so afraid of the Xiangwei clan?"

Li Xuanxi seemed to have just realized it, and said in surprise, "So Xiangwei is from the Shangyi clan?"

"you know?"

"Well, everyone in the Great Xia royal family knows about it."

Li Xuanxi said calmly, "If you meet Shang Yi, you will kill him, if you meet Tang Clan, you will stay."

She said calmly, Qin Guanyue and others were shocked.

How deep is the hatred, so that the descendants of the Kamikaze Dynasty will not forget to kill the Shangyi clan even if they change the name of the country?

Qin Guanyue couldn't help asking, "Why do descendants of Kamikaze hate Shang Yi so much?"

"Uh……"

Li Xuanxi was a little embarrassed, "I don't know, because my brother said he didn't need to worry about it, so he didn't tell me, so I didn't ask."

Qin Guanyue laughed, thinking that Emperor Ziwei was a real Buddha.

But she was also relieved, Xiao Mingyang was from the same place as her after all, if Dragon Girl insisted on killing Xiao Mingyang, she must intervene, that would be the worst situation.

After listening to the empress' request, all the people over there fell silent, and only one person was emotional.

"Your Majesty, no promise!"

Lou Binghe knelt down in front of Ning Zhao immediately, with an anxious expression on his face, "I will definitely find the prince back safely, and I must not lose a city in vain!"

Ning Zhao didn't speak, his expression was so calm that it was almost indifferent.

"89 years ago, Xiangwei was defeated by Xing State in Takizawa, and lost Linchuan and other three cities. Later, Xing State fell to Liang State, and Linchuan changed hands with Liang. The country is divided and Linchuan seeks peace."

Xiao Mingyang sat obliquely on the chair, propped his chin, and looked at the crowd casually, "Linchuan is my homeland in Xiangwei to me, but to you, Daxi is just a remote city that was taken away. Is it not as good as the prince of a country?"

"..."

"Time waits for no one, if it continues to delay, even my Silver Slaughter Cavalry--"

"The prince is important, but I remember one thing is more important."

Qin Guanyue, who had been on the sidelines, stood up again, walked up to Xiao Mingyang, and asked calmly, "Did the Empress forget anything?"

Xiao Mingyang looked at her lazily, "Oh, what is it?"

"Glittering Gold Map."

Qin Guanyue slowly raised a palm-sized iron box, square and square, with six sides in total, and each side was composed of countless small squares with intricately intertwined colors.

He Lianying, who was dying under the altar, looked up at the square box in her hand, and said bitterly, "It turns out that you snatched the Shuojin secret box!"

Lou Binghe narrowed his eyes, "It really is you, Qin Guanyue."

The ministers on the altar were also shocked, and then they remembered that they were completely attracted by the remnants of the snare and the empress, and they forgot about the map of the shining gold!
Huo Qiu pointed at Qin Guanyue and cursed, "Since you have already obtained the Shuojin secret box, why don't you present it to His Majesty, instead hide it privately, Qin Guanyue, why are you at ease!"

"Your Majesty, the Shuojin map is of great importance, Qin Guanyue's move is undoubtedly..."

"His Majesty……"

"..."

Ning Zhao glanced at them lightly, "Shut up."

Huo Qiu and the others softened their feet, lowered their heads, shut their mouths and retreated to the side.

Xiao Mingyang still looked indifferent, looked at her with a smile and asked, "So...you want to exchange the Shuojin map?"

"Yes."

"let me consider it."

Everyone was taken aback, did they hear wrong just now?
Qin Guanyue was also a little surprised, "Could it be that the empress has dug up all the gold mines?"

Xiao Mingyang shook his head, "No, there are at least dozens more."

"..."

Everyone heard sour water in their mouths, envious and jealous.

"Then why not change?" Qin Guanyue asked.

Xiao Mingyang pretended to think, "I haven't seen the map inside with my own eyes, why don't you open it and let me inspect the goods first?"

Qin Guanyue looked as usual, "I'm ashamed, I can't open it."

Lou Binghe frowned and looked, "There is no lock on it, just crush it."

"If you crush it, the contents inside will also be destroyed."

Zhong Lao Jijiu walked forward slowly, took the square box from Qin Guanyue, quickly turned the squares on it a few times, and quickly changed all the squares on one side into the same color, but The other five sides are still mottled squares.

"Multiple the colors of the squares on all six sides into the same color, and the box will be opened. The veteran bought a box like this from a traveling merchant in his early years. After studying it for more than half a year, he can only unlock this side."

Ning Zhao obviously respected the old Jijiu, and asked respectfully, "I don't know where this box came from? Please give Jijiu some advice."

"The old minister called this box the Vientiane Box, but at the beginning, it was a lock called Suo Canglan."

"Suo Canglan...has a serious tone."

"Your Majesty misunderstood. The reason why this lock is called Suo Canglan is only because its maker is named Canglan Lord."

"Ah."

Ning Zhao laughed ironically, "It seems that the one who speaks loudly is its maker."

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate its maker."

Zhong Laojiu coughed twice, "I think you all know that the Great Xia Ziwei Emperor once invited the world's counselors to Dongying Tower to calculate the general trend of Canglan in the next ten years."

Some people nodded. Dongyinglou was originally just a dilapidated teahouse, and it became the first building in the capital because of this gimmick. Every time outsiders came, the storyteller inside would tell the story again. As for the ending, it was natural. It is also well known.

Emperor Ziwei predicted three things, one is the rise of Xiangwei, the other is that Daxi will change, and the third is the unification of the five kingdoms.

And among the nearly one hundred counselors, there was only one person who coincided with two of Emperor Ziwei's prophecies.

"Xiangwei rises, Daxi will change, that person and Emperor Ziwei coincidentally predicted this deed."

Elder Zhong paused for a drink, "That man is Lord Canglan, and this Lock Canglan is a gift he gave to Emperor Ziwei. No one in the world can understand it except Lord Canglan himself."

Everyone was silent.

Ning Zhaomu let out a long breath, "So this box can't even be opened?"

Zhong Lao Jijiu said frankly, "In half a month, I should be able to open it."

There was a tinge of joy in everyone's heart. The Gold Mine is extremely important. In order not to leak it out, Xiangwei only has this Map of Gold. It is impossible for the Empress not to care.

Ning Zhao did not relax easily, but instead looked at Long Nu, "I wonder if Long Nu knows how to unlock this lock?"

"My brother will, I won't."

Li Xuanxi shook his head, and while everyone was sighing, he said surprisingly, "Because I can move the contents inside and take it apart with mystic techniques."

Qin Guanyue smiled when she heard the words, took the secret box from Jijiu, and handed it to Longnu without hesitation, "Please."

Li Xuanxi didn't think it was important, so he didn't know how much trust it represented Qin Guanyue.

There was a faint silver light on her fingertips, and the glittering gold secret box in her palm was automatically divided into small square boxes, and a faint black liquid floated on it, exuding a pungent decaying smell.

Li Xuanxi frowned, separated the black water, and then caught the disassembled pile of glittering gold squares, which were heavy, and made the inherent dull metallic sound of glittering gold after the impact.

But it was empty there.

The wind stopped at some point, and the snow finally fell, very soft and quiet.
