Dugu Lanruo asked Liu Mu what he was doing.

After a few strokes, he went to find a piece of paper and wrote: "He encouraged Yue Guogong to go to war, and our soldiers also went." I don't know if I will lose money, there are poor mountains and bad waters. He has been grinding stones in the side garden for the past few days, saying that they are treasures in stones. ”

"Check it out." Dugu Lan ordered someone to change her clothes.

In the side garden, the two craftsmen had stopped, the two of them were with Liu Mu, the three heads and six eyes were less than two inches away from the stone, and the three people kept circling around the stone, but their eyes did not leave the stone for half a minute.

"Ahem!" Dugu Lanruo coughed lightly.

The two craftsmen hurriedly took a few steps back and saluted Dugu Lanruo, only Liu Mu was still staring at the stone.

"Husband, don't you think it's a pity that you have worn off the cloud dragon pattern outside?" Dugu Lanruo asked softly, you must know that the cloud dragon pattern is made of heaven and earth, and it is definitely a strange stone. This thing is placed in Chang'an, at least 500 to 1,000 guan value.

Liu Mu didn't answer, but he pointed to hug the qin: "Hug the qin, take a glass cup." ”

Although Baoqin didn't understand, he still went to get a glass himself.

I saw Liu Mu holding the glass and lightly scratching the sharp point of the stone, leaving a mark on the glass.

"Odd!" One of the craftsmen exclaimed.

You must know that glass is very hard, and it is impossible to scratch it with iron.

"That's right, this is a piece of high-grade jadeite, I don't know much about this thing, but I heard that jadeite is also divided into several categories, dozens of types, dozens of grades, this one is at least an ice species."

Dugu Lanruo said to the maid beside her: "The history of Luo Nu used to be from Shangzhen Pavilion. ”

"Yes!" The handmaid replied.

"Go find it."

After a while, the female history surnamed Luo came here, and when she saw the green stone on the shelf, she even forgot to give a salute, and approached with three steps and two steps, and also stuck to the stone and looked at it carefully.

Dugu Lan was not angry, and waited for a while before asking: "Luo Nushi, how is this thing?" ”

"The princess forgives her sins, and the maid is rude. This piece is jadeite, extremely jadeite. Judging from this luster, translucency and color, this is an extremely precious gem. ”

"Imperial Jade!" Baoqin suddenly spoke, her mouth hurting and she couldn't speak accurately, but she was still heard clearly.

Liu Mu shook his head: "No, although I don't understand it very well, but I'm sure this piece is not the imperial jade, the green of the imperial jade is very positive, and the purity is extremely high, this piece is almost there." And I don't feel that the light transmittance is not top-notch, and it can't reach the level of glass. From my layman's point of view, this is a piece of ice apple green, which is at most Zhengyang green. ”

Willow wood is poor in later generations, and it cannot afford to play with such high-end objects as jadeite.

But in the process of many trips, I have seen some.

At that moment, Liu Mu briefly talked about what he knew, and then said: "Don't tell anyone about this matter, the origin of this thing is who goes and who dies at the moment, and we will dig it again when we have the opportunity in the future, there must be a top imperial green that is one person tall." ”

Staring at the football-sized jadeite, Liu Mu suddenly said: "It seems that if you find an agate stick and knock this, there will be a very special sound." ”

Dugu Lanruo also began to observe this jade closely.

If you want to come to such a superb product, it must be very good to make a piece of jade pendant.

"Make a pair of bracelets, yes, polish some bracelets." Yanagi also began to plan how to make it.

However, Luo Nushi said: "It's better to bring it back to Chang'an and make it again, Jingyang is not raising some jade craftsmen who escaped from the former Sui, they must be much more meticulous than the craftsmen in Lingnan." ”

"Yes, that's right. If you look for it again in the next few days, you may be able to find a few more. ”

Liu Mu knew that this was definitely not Lao Keng's goods, according to the Xian clan old man said that this piece was from Mengshe Zhao, this name Liu Mu was very unfamiliar, and he didn't remember reading it in the history books.

"That's right. Yes. Liu Mu thought about it, Nanzhao was called six edicts before, so Mengshe edict must be one of the six edicts.

The location of these six edicts is already very close to the mining area, so it is not surprising that someone occasionally gets a piece of jade that has been washed away by the flood and washed into a river beach somewhere, and maybe someone else will pick it up.

It is also possible that an unknown small mine is within the scope of the Six Edicts.

In fact, Liu Mu guessed correctly, Mengshe Zhao is the southernmost small tribe of the Six Zhaos, and the Zhao is the meaning of the king in the local area. The mining area is within the territory of the Six Edicts, but these Six Edicts are not subject to the Tang Dynasty, and it was not until more than 100 years later that they were entitled, which gave them the name of Nanzhao.

After that, there were several wars between the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao.

The reason is the dispute over the country, the Tang Dynasty believes that the Southern Zhao will be attached to Tufan at every turn, and the land of Yunnan is no longer threatened by the Tang Dynasty and other remarks, so the Tang Dynasty made several expeditions to the Southern Zhao before the Anshi Rebellion.

After Liu Mu stayed in Guangzhou City for more than ten days, Su Dingfang returned.

The clothes on Su Dingfang's body were torn, and his hair was cut again, and the short hair cut was shorter than the short hair of the Dajia Mo sword soldiers, leaving only a short layer on the top of his head, and then looking carefully, there were still some blood stains on the outer armor that had not been wiped clean.

"This, in trouble?" Liu Mu didn't dare to ask if he was defeated.

Su Dingfang was stunned, and then looked at himself and smiled: "Jiaozhou City has not encountered any resistance worth mentioning, there is no way to do this hair, so I cut off my hair when it is uncomfortable to be hot here." The clothes were torn by the branches in the mountains and forests, and there were no clothes to be prepared for the march and battle, and our baggage was still stored in the city of Guangzhou. ”

"Where's the blood?" Liu Mu pointed to the blood stains on Su Dingfang's armor.

"This blood is really thrilling, no one thought that there was a huge snake with a thick bowl mouth on the tree, when I swung my knife and slashed it, the snake was drenched in blood, and I didn't wipe it clean when I was in a hurry."

After listening to Su Dingfang's explanation, Liu Mu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then how about this?" ”

"Wenjing in Aizhou has gathered an army of 30,000 to fight us to the death, and the Duke of Yue is furious and is preparing to mobilize troops and horses to destroy them. I came back to bring 300 pairs of heavy armor over, and let's take the lead in the siege. ”

"Thirty thousand?" Yanagi asked.

Su Dingfang nodded: "I have observed with Yue Guogong for a day, and it is estimated that there are forty or fifty thousand soldiers and people in Aizhou City, and the soldiers will not be less than 10,000. ”

"Don't, send a messenger over immediately, don't be in a hurry. Think about it, it's a city of tens of thousands of people, and these guys are happy to slaughter another city if they are killed, it's not good, it's not good. Liu Mu shook his head: "We can't arouse the national hatred of those monkeys, so we can't fight hard." ”

"This ......" Su Dingfang also said, kill, kill until they succumb.

But since Liu Mu said so, Su Dingfang had no choice but to send someone to Jiaozhou.

Liu Mu went to Dugu Lanruo: "Let's go, there is a scenic spot that is a beautiful place, and it is worth going there to live for a few days." ”
