It took half a moment for Jin Buhui to send all the people in front of him away.
When silence returned to the cell again, he let out a long sigh.
At this time, he didn't know what his mood was.
Mourning the decline of great merchants? He was so proud that he mocked Emperor Yuan Chen for not listening to his unfaithful advice
I also hate those people just now. As ministers of great merchants, the country is still alive, but they all have different intentions. Otherwise, why would he be afraid of himself and come here overnight to apologize
"Then the Yang family said they would rescue you from the capital, why didn't you agree?"
A figure suddenly appeared beside Jin Buhui, it was Su Chen.
"Although the Yang family is the last of the five great clans, it is still as strong as the clouds. If we want to save you, we are almost sure of it."
"It's nothing more than trying to get me, Jin Buhui, to go south, and I'm just trying to be nice in front of my brothers. How can I let them get what they want? This is not the way to be a friend—"
Jin Buhui snorted coldly, with a desolate look on his face, and said with a bit of seriousness: "Tell me the truth, what is the big business like today? What is the situation in the imperial capital?"
"What else can be done? All the aristocratic families have sent their disciples back to their fiefdoms, and only three or five people are left in the capital. The major academies of the Confucian sect are in a quarrel. Although local officials have returned Before he could engage in illicit affairs, he was frightened away by His Majesty's five major edicts. However, if the great merchants continue to decline, it will only be a matter of time."
Su Chen smiled sarcastically: "But it is said that Shi Yue took action, and the Shi family had already planned to block Baisheng Pass. This big businessman probably won't fall for a while."
"Five edicts?"
Jin Buhui immediately shook his head again, no matter what the contents of Zong Shou's five major edicts were. All of this has nothing to do with him.
There was only a moment of emotion, with a heartbroken expression.
"If I had known that the Great Chamber of Commerce would be defeated so miserably, I should have left with you. Until now, I can't leave even if I want to-"
Su Chen was silent, looking up into the distance. In response to the spiritual thoughts, there were more than a dozen powerful men in the divine realm, locking this place tightly.
Although he was not afraid, there was a bit of helplessness in his eyes.
Although the Great Shang Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, there is still a lot of foundation left -
With these people here, it would be impossible for him to save people.
Jin Buhui was quite open-minded about his own life.
"It's useless to regret now. Judging from your words, the Sword Sect is probably determined to advance and retreat with Da Qian now?"
"His Majesty is the Lord of Saints! Now that he is dominating the Cloud Realm, our Sword Sect should follow his lead and do our best to help Daqian dominate! Even if your sect is the Hao Xuan Sect, how can you not be moved by it?"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows slantingly, revealing a cold and decisive meaning: "Even if it is not the God Emperor in the prophecy, with His Majesty's behavior, I, the Sword Sect, can rest assured."
"Your Majesty? He is ready to proclaim himself emperor?"
Jin Buhui was stunned again, and then he laughed at himself: "With his achievements, he has made the country as powerful as it is now, and he can actually be emperor long ago. Forget it, please ask Brother Su to tell me, the Righteous Emperor. Say that I Jin Buhui, even if Even if he dies, he won't be in trouble. Also, be careful of Confucianism and Zhu Xi—"
Su Chen's heart palpitated, and he subconsciously ignored the previous sentence and continued to ridicule: "Confucianism? Zhuzi? Confucianism determines the Spring and Autumn Period. It can be the emperor's saintly king's image and the great power of the Qian Dynasty. But they don't want to deny it, they can It can be denied. I want to see how the hundreds of millions of Confucian scholars in this world will deal with themselves? Will they continue to obey the sage Zhu Xi?"
※ ※ ※ ※
Late at night, the Jiuchi Palace returned to silence again. All battles are concluded before noon.
After finishing hastily, Kong Yao rushed to the Minhe River without stopping, taking more than half of the elite soldiers and more than half of the Taoist soldiers.
To the north of the Min River, there was also an army of more than 10 million soldiers from the Great Shang. And if Daqian wants to conquer the five southern continents, they must not allow these elite frontier troops from the Central Plains to escape back to the north of the Henglian Mountains.
It is said that soldiers are valuable and quick, so they cannot delay for a moment.
Zong Shou, on the other hand, was temporarily relaxed again. The 100,000 cavalry he needs can only be mobilized after wiping out the remaining 16 million merchant armies in the north, so there is no rush.
At this moment, he was in the main hall, looking thoughtfully at a jade slip in his hand.
This is one of the relics of Chongxuan. As a master of the Great Shang Kingdom, he is naturally very wealthy, far beyond the comparison of cultivators of the same level.
However, it is a pity that this person did not bring many external possessions with him this time.
Among the few relics of this person, only this jade slip aroused Zong Shou's curiosity.
What is recorded in the jade slip is a three-dimensional map. The reason why he noticed it was that what was shown in this picture was very different from the deputy tomb of Emperor Qin that he had 'visited'.
But the area should be much larger, ten times the difference. Except for the 'main tomb' inside, the sky is round and the earth is round, and it seems to be a complete world. On the periphery, there are countless mazes of corridors. It can be said that the formations are densely covered and the institutions are like a forest.
Even the jade slip in my hand cannot fully explain the details. In many places, it is ambiguous.
"The tomb of Emperor Qin?"
Zong Shou's eyes narrowed slightly. Then he looked in front of him, a handsome man with a fair face and no beard.
This is one of the most favored eunuchs of Emperor Yuanchen of the Great Shang Dynasty, Gao Ruo, the chamberlain's young eunuch.
Yin Yu was alone and was rescued by Shi Yue. Those who accompanied him were not so lucky and were all captured.
And this Gao Ruo is one of them.
"Does that Imperial Master Chongxuan know the location of Emperor Qin's tomb?"
Gao Ruo's face was pale and pale, he bit his lip and said nothing. His eyes were cold and decisive, looking upwards without any fear.
"You are loyal!"
Zong Shou was not surprised. Since Yin Yu was praised as the master of Zhongxing in Daqian, he naturally had enough ability to control his subordinates. He couldn't win the loyalty of his trusted ministers, and it was impossible to turn the tide back then.
It is estimated that no matter how hard he is tortured, he will not be able to find out anything about this person.
Unless one directly searches the soul, it is impossible to find that part of the memory about Emperor Qin's tomb.
However, when he asked that question, he was not actually prepared to learn anything from Gao Ruo.
All you need to know is that Emperor Yuan Chen and Chong Xuan are indeed planning something.
Holding the jade slip in his hand, Zong Shou thought for a moment, and then he saw Zhang Huai beside him, who seemed to be a little distracted, and his heart moved slightly.
"Zhang Qing, I know that you are a descendant of Zhang Liang from the late Qin and early Han dynasties. I wonder what you know about the tomb of Emperor Qin?"
Zhang Huai's expression straightened when he heard this, and he immediately laughed helplessly. What he was thinking about just now had nothing to do with the Qin Emperor's tomb, but how to persuade Zong Shou to change his title to emperor.
Before noon, hundreds of thousands of soldiers tried to persuade him to call for long live the mountain, but Zong Shou refused. In the end, he failed, which made him very upset.
But he really knew something about Emperor Qin's tomb. The question is, how does the monarch know that he is the queen of Zhang Liang
"Emperor Qin has always claimed to be the first emperor in the Yun Realm. How could a common tomb suit his wishes? No one in the world knows where his main tomb is, but an ancestor of Zhang Huai, after many visits, asserted that Emperor Qin's tomb is the real tomb. It should be in the East Kunlun Mountains."
"East Kunlun?"
Zong Shou raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that it was quite possible.
West Kunlun Mountain was the largest mountain before the Yunhuang era. It was just that at the end of Yunhuang, he was defeated by a strong man's palm. In later generations, Central Yunlu suffered heavy losses and its terrain changed. I don’t know where it is now.
With Emperor Qin's arrogance, it is true that only the legendary place of unparalleled power can bury his dragon body.
"So, the tomb of Emperor Qin is probably under Yunlu, within the Dark Abyss?"
At that time, the cloud land split, and many land masses had sunk into the sea of clouds.
Judging from the various classics that Zong Shou has seen over the years, the area where East Kunlun is located has probably sunk.
This is a bit difficult to handle. Even if we know it is East Kunlun, it is difficult to know the specific location.
Some couldn't help but secretly curse those strong men in ancient times. It’s really unworthy of me to be a son of a human being. What was a good piece of cloud land was just torn into pieces.
However, the collapse of Yunlu began ten thousand years ago and ended eight thousand years ago after a drastic change in the world. It seems to be somewhat related to the battle of Xizi's fall.
"Zhang Huai doesn't know where exactly it is at this time. But it should be okay. Someone once told me that the tomb of Emperor Qin would be revealed twelve years later."
When he said this, Zhang Huai's heart moved slightly, and his eyes showed a solemn look.
"I heard that although Chongxuan was born in a Taoist sect, he also received part of the inheritance from the ancient Qi Refiners. In the past, the Yiying Spirit Array mechanism in the tomb of Emperor Qin was jointly developed by Qi Refiners and Mohist weapon masters. Completed. It’s hard to say whether this person can enter the Qin Emperor’s tomb in advance—"
If that's the case, it's a bit tricky.
At that time, the Qin Dynasty collected magical iron from all over the world and cast it into twelve bronze figures.
Each one of them has the power to compete with the peak of the Holy Realm.
It is said that his body is so strong that it cannot even be broken into pieces.
Twelve bronze men join forces to form a formation, which can even compete with those who are cultivators of the highest realm.
Therefore, the Emperor of the First Qin Dynasty, as an emperor, was able to suppress the three religions.
If this kind of treasure falls into the hands of the great merchants, it will definitely enable the great merchants to regain their national power.
No matter whether Chongxuan's Kuai Jade Slip is real or fake, Daqian cannot afford to take the risk.
Without hesitation, Zhang Huai shot out a magic talisman. The paper talisman spontaneously ignited without fire, and Zhang Huai's face became increasingly ugly.
Before Zong Shou could ask, Zhang Huai had already spoken: "That great Shang Guoshi is probably not dead yet. The Qi Refiner's methods are really amazing!"
Zong Shou was also shocked. That Chongxuan was counterattacked by the power of heaven and his body was smashed to pieces by Qilin. Is he still alive
Could it be that it is also an incarnation outside the body? It doesn’t look like it
But there is no need to wonder about this matter, just ask Gao Ruo directly.
"This matter may have something to do with your Majesty, but you only need to do a little research to find out the details. If you still have the slightest desire to save your life, you shouldn't hide it!"
Gao Ruo hesitated for a while. Seeing that Zong Shou was trying to catch him, and obviously wanted to search for his soul, he had no choice but to speak hastily: "I don't know if he is still there. But I heard that the national master has a way to refine the soul. The soul-splitting method can split the soul into dozens of incarnations."
