Chapter 367: Black and White Jade

Zhuang clan!

Although it is not as famous as the big families such as Qu, Zhao, and Jing, it is also a family that has taken root in Dongting County, Xiangshui for nearly two hundred years, and its heritage has gradually become stronger.

The most famous in it is Zhuang Xin, at that time, King Huai of Chu was imprisoned to death by Qin, Zhuxia was shaken, Zhuang Xin went out of the ethnic group, ran together to resist Qin, and became a famous minister of Chu for a while.

During this period, the state of Chu made Yin Xiang Chengjun arrogant and arrogant, so that the policy of the state of Chu towards the state of Qin made many mistakes, Zhuang Xin admonished him, so he became famous, and was recommended by Xiang Chengjun to the king of Chu, but because of the small and weak clan, he was excluded by the old scholar clan and left the state of Zhao.

In the battle of Yan Ying, the Qin army captured Yingdu, the king of Chu repented, summoned Zhuang Xin from Zhao to Chengyang, heard the countermeasures, and then, the strategy of making up for the dead sheep came out, and the king of Xiang collected more than 100,000 soldiers from the east and recovered the lands in the south of the Yangtze River.

The merit is very great, and he was awarded Zhuang Xin by the king of Chu Qingxiang to govern Gui, given the land of Huaibei, and was named the king of Yangling. It's a pity that the state of Chu was supposed to be the place where the Qu, Zhao, Jing, Xiang and other families divided and ruled, and before long, Zhuang Xin was deposed again, and even the fief of the Zhuang family was reduced.

Three times and twice, it also seemed to anger the members of the Zhuang clan, and a few years later, Zhuang Ji, a general of the Zhuang clan, led thousands of soldiers and clansmen to start an incident.

He directly led the soldiers disguised as commoners to infiltrate the Yingdu, violently captured the official office, looted and killed the mansion of the old family, and besieged the royal city. The entire Yingdu suddenly fell into chaos, and the government and opposition of the Chu State were greatly shocked.

This so-called Chu State recorded in the annals of the nations - Zhuang Ji Tyranny.

Later, under the siege of the gradually gathered Wang Shi, Zhuang Ji led the people to be forced to withdraw from Yingdu, but he killed Jiangdong like a hurricane, and then swept Southern Chu, occupying the Xiangshui Zone, Nanyue Wuling, and Yunnan, so he was called the king, and established himself as a state.

The temples of Chu were deeply frightened, and they sent troops to pursue and besiege several times, all because the army could not capture the fierce and agile Zhuang Ji army in the high mountains and rivers, lakes and seas, and each time it was in vain.

At this time, in order to protect their fiefdoms from looting and killing, the old scholars of Chu State spontaneously pursued and intercepted with private soldiers, which lasted more than ten years, and the Zhuang Ji riot and the rest of the wave were quelled.

"Han Feizi Yu Lao" has a cloud: Zhuang Ji is a thief in the territory, and the officials can't ban it, and the chaos of this government is also.

"LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Jieli" even discusses the impact of the Zhuang Ji Rebellion on the Chu State as the impact of the Changping War on the Zhao State.

With the help of many private soldiers in the fiefdom of the old scholars, the Zhuang Ji Rebellion was suppressed, and the Xiang clan of Chu State, which had the greatest contribution in it, led the eight thousand soldiers of Jiangdong under the leadership of Xiang Yan to kill Zhuang Ji in the depths of the mountains and forests.

Dedicated to the king of Chu, cited as a great merit, because of this battle, Xiang Yan of the Xiang family became a famous general of the Chu State, and his official position reached Zuo Sima, and the limelight was second only to the descendants of the three major families of Qu, Zhao and Jing.

This incident was also recorded in the collection room of Xianyang Palace, but what surprised Zhou Qing was that for decades, the Zhuang clan still had clansmen in the Chu State and were not completely killed.

In this way, it is also good news for yourself!

Although the strength of the more than ten silver-armored soldiers in the hall is not weak, it is slightly more than the number of people, and the remnants of the Zhuang clan who are fierce are still a little not enough, but in just a few dozen breaths, more than a dozen silver-armored soldiers were all killed.

The head of the wine shop and his buddies and others hid tremblingly in a corner, and after those Zhuang clansmen were far away, they quickly came out to clean up the mess and carried out a silver-armored soldier, and at the same time the guy quickly informed the Chu officials in the area.

"Uncle Shi, those sturdy men are really bold, and they directly killed those soldiers of Chu State."

After the things in the hall were over, Xiao Ling and the two of them also returned directly, although it looked more lively, but a small group of elite soldiers of the Chu State was killed by a group of strangely dressed people here, which was really a bit chaotic.

"It's all an inherent contradiction in Chu, don't care about it."

I thought that so many people appeared next to the Yunmeng Lake because of other things, but I didn't think ......, no, those elite soldiers of the Shadow Tiger Legion should not have come to find the remnants of the Zhuang clan.

Otherwise, when they first entered the wine shop, they should have started directly, and now that they think about it, it is also luck that they meet each other, and they are not very lucky.

Since the two sides have inadvertently intersected, then, for the sake of it, it must be something else, to be able to work the Shadow Tiger Legion, things are not ordinary, although they are curious, but it seems to have nothing to do with them.

Nodding at Xiao Ling, the wine and food on the table were still a little warm, and he hurriedly urged one or two, and when the half pillar of incense was half-baked, the three of them returned to their respective places, meditated quietly, ran Xuangong, and practiced diligently.

******

"Are you from Qin?"

Early the next morning, the three of them woke up, simply prepared the dry food and water bags needed on the road, and went out, and they were greeted by a large group of elite soldiers, compared to the more than ten or so they met yesterday, there were at least nearly 100 silver-armored soldiers in front of the wine store.

Looking at the signs on their bodies, they are also members of the Shadow Tiger Legion of the Chu State, riding on horses, holding spears and long swords, and they are also making preparations in front of the wine shop, and the heads of the wine shop are waiting on their side.

Seeing Zhou Qing and the three of them walking out of it, they couldn't help but be a young soldier stepping forward, according to the information they knew, the three people in front of them spoke the dialect of the Qin State, and it was no surprise that they were the people of the Qin State.

"Not bad."

Zhou Qing was in front, and Xiao Ling and the others were behind, looking at the soldier in front of him and nodding slightly.

"Is there a photo sticker?"

Since the Shang monarch promulgated the photo sticker in the Qin State a hundred years ago, the six countries of Shandong also imitated it and implemented the photo sticker in their own country to show their identity, and the soldier looked at the three of Zhou Qing, and the three of them were not ordinary Qin people.

It's a bit like a ranger's attire, at this juncture, the appearance of a person who is suspected of being a ranger is not good news, thinking a little, the spear in his hand gently stopped, and then asked.

"Naturally."

He smiled lightly at the young soldier again, and the purple light in one hand shone brightly, and the number of times surged, and three rectangular locust wood cards appeared, which were imprinted with the figures and simple information of the three people.

"Your picture is quite realistic, a native of Jiangzhou, Ba County, Qin State, what is the matter with coming to Chu State at this time? But do you want to do the things of people? ”

The soldier took the three stickers handed over by Zhou Qing, compared them carefully, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the three of them deeply.

Glancing at the information posted on his body, he waved his hand to summon a companion not far from him, and continued to ask, without directly letting him go.

"You've been asking me for so long, it's time for me to ask you."

"Why are you Shadow Tiger Legion here?"

It was the first time to be asked like this by a soldier of the Chu State, according to the usual practice, that is, there was no photo sticker, generally speaking, these soldiers would not be troubled, not to mention that after having a photo sticker, it was a perfect certificate.

His eyes glowed with a lilac glow, and he inquired about the soldier who had also seen it.

"I've been ordered to come to Dongting County to find a piece of black and white jade!"

But in an instant, the soldier's thinking was dominated by Zhou Qing, and when he heard the sound, his eyes flashed in confusion, and he said the purpose of this trip, and his words were very simple.

"On whose orders?"

Zhou Qing asked again.

"Lord Ling Yin!"

The soldier responded.

"That piece of black and white jade is special?"

The current state of Chu ordered Yin to be Li Yuan, since the attack on Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, he is in charge of the state affairs, and his people occupy everything in the Chu royal family, what kind of beautiful jade is not, but now send people to find a piece of black and white jade.

"According to rumors in the Seven Kingdoms, black and white Xuanyu contains the magic of immortality, and if it can be obtained, it is possible to live forever."

The soldier continued to respond, but the soldier who had just been summoned on his side also approached, listening closely to the words of his companion and the other party, his expression was quite surprised, this was a mission secret, how could he say it at will.

However, before he could speak, he was frozen by Zhou Qing's fingers.

"Rumors of the Seven Kingdoms? Tell me about it! ”

This person opened his mouth to be a rumor of the Seven Kingdoms, but why hadn't he heard it, it contained the wonder of immortality, which was even more bizarre, could it be that during the six months of his retreat, and the month of staying in the Yin and Yang family, Zhuxia had a major event that he didn't know?

"Five months ago, there was a natural vision, under the clear sun, the sun was actually covered by a black thing, the summer was dark, the kingdoms were shaken, and then seven black and white jade appeared in the seven kingdoms."

"It is rumored that these black and white jades are things that fell from the sky, containing the wonder of immortality, if they can be gathered together, they can solve the mystery of immortality, and can make ordinary people turn into the body of immortals."

"The piece of black and white Xuanyu that landed in the Chu Kingdom appeared in the ancestral land of Dongting County, so I ordered Yin to send us to search for it."

The soldier really knew a lot, it seems that this news has been completely spread, even if it is not spread, there are definitely not a few people who know, and it has been far away from Zhuxia for seven months, and such a thing happened.

Born with a vision!

Seven pieces of black and white jade!

The wonder of immortality!

This kind of method makes Zhou Qing feel familiar, among the hundreds of princes, there is only the Yin and Yang family who are good at this method, at this time, it is difficult to come up with such a method, what is it going to do?

"Is there a whereabouts of the black and white jade?"

The core of the Yin and Yang family's plot is the Canglong Seven Residences, and the dissemination of such news to Zhuxia is intuitible, and this kind of news is inseparable from the Canglong Seven Residences, and if he expects it to be correct, these seven pieces of black and white Xuanyu will eventually converge in the Qin State.

And so, it's even better.

"Not yet, but there is already news, it is rumored that the black and white Xuanyu fell into the hands of the remnants of the Zhuang clan, and we are about to go to the Jiangnan region to completely exterminate the remnants of the Zhuang clan and get back the black and white Xuanyu!"

The soldier continued.

However, between the words, the conversation between Zhou Qing and the soldier seemed to attract the attention of the other soldiers in the distance, and several more people came with spears, seeing this, Zhou Qing glanced at Xiao Ling and the two of them, turned around and left.

Turned over and got on the horse and walked away for a long time, as for the soldier who was controlled by Zhou Qing and hit the acupuncture points, after dozens of breaths, he slowly returned to his original state, and when he was about to pursue, the figures of the three had disappeared.
