Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 474 Confronting Aizhou
Dugu Lanruo asked Liu Mu what he was doing.

Baoqin gestured a few times, then went to find a piece of paper and wrote: "He encouraged the Duke of Yue to go to war, and our soldiers also went. I don't know if I will lose money. There are poor mountains and rivers there. He has been here for a few days. Grinding the stone in the side garden, it is said to be the treasure in the stone."

"Go and have a look." Dugu Lanruo ordered someone to change her clothes.

In the side garden, the two craftsmen have stopped. The two of them are with Willow. Three heads and six eyes are less than two inches away from the stone. Not half a cent away from the stone.

"Cough!" Dugu Lanruo coughed lightly.

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

"Husband, don't you think it's a pity to wear off the cloud and dragon pattern on the outside?" Dugu Lanruo asked softly, you must know that the cloud and dragon pattern is made of heaven and earth, it is definitely a strange stone.This thing in Chang'an is worth at least five hundred to one thousand guan.

Liu Mu didn't answer, but held the qin with one finger: "Hold the qin, bring me a glass cup."

Although Baoqin didn't understand, she went to fetch a glass herself.

I saw Willow gently scratching the sharp part of the stone with the glass, 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 the glass with iron tools.

"That's right, this is a piece of high-quality jadeite. I don't know much about it, but I have heard that jadeite is divided into several categories, dozens of types, and dozens of appearances. This piece is at least ice."

Dugu Lanruo said to the maid beside her, "Nv Shi Luo once belonged to Shangzhen Pavilion."

"Yes!" the servant girl replied.

"Go find it."

After a while, the female historian surnamed Luo came here. When she saw the green stone on the shelf, she forgot to salute.

If Dugu Lan was not angry, she waited for a while before asking: "Nv Shi Luo, how is this thing?"

"Princess forgive me, the servant girl is rude. This piece is jadeite, extremely jadeite. Judging from its luster, translucence, and color, it is an extremely precious gemstone."

"Emperor Jade!" Baoqin said suddenly, his mouth hurt and he couldn't speak correctly, but he was still heard clearly.

Liu Mu shook his head: "No, although I don't understand it very well, I'm sure this piece is not the emperor's jade. The green color of the emperor's jade is very straight, and its purity is extremely high. Top-notch, not at the level of glass. From my layman's point of view, this is a piece of ice apple green, and at most it is Zhengyang green."

Willow is poor in the later modern times and cannot afford such high-end items as jadeite.

But in the process of traveling many times, I have seen some of them.

Immediately, Liu Mu briefly explained what he knew, and then said: "Don't tell anyone about this matter, whoever is the origin of this thing will die right now, and we will dig it later when we have a chance, there must be someone taller there." Top imperial green."

Staring at the emerald the size of a football, Liu Mu suddenly said: "It seems that if you find an agate stick to tap this, there will be a very special sound."

Dugu Lanruo also began to observe the emerald closely.

It must be great to make a jade pendant with such a superb product.

"Make a pair of bracelets, yes, I need to polish some bracelets." Liu Mu also began to plan how to make this thing.

On the contrary, 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 Sui Dynasty. They must be more meticulous than the craftsmen in Lingnan."

"Yes, it makes sense. If you look for it in the next few days, maybe you can find a few more dollars."

Liu Mu knew that this was definitely not Laokeng's product. According to the elders of the Xian clan, this piece came from Mengshezhao. The name Liumu was very strange, and he didn't remember reading it in history books.

"That's right. That's right." Liu Mu thought, Nanzhao was called Liuzhao before, so Mengshezhao must be one of the six Zhaozhao.

The location of these six imperial edicts is already very close to the mining area, so it is not surprising that someone occasionally gets a piece of emerald that was washed into a certain river beach by the flood, and there may be others who are picked up by others.

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

In fact, Liu Mu guessed correctly, Mengshezhao was a small tribe in the southernmost part of the Six Zhaozhao, and Zhaozhao means king in the local area.And the mining area is within the territory of the Six Imperial Edicts, but the Six Imperial Edicts did not submit to the Tang Dynasty, and they were not granted the title until more than 100 years later, and this is how the country name of Nanzhao came into being.

After that, there will be several wars between Datang and Nanzhao.

The reason was land disputes. Datang believed that Nanzhao was threatening to submit to Tupan at every turn, and the land of Yunnan would no longer be Tang. Therefore, Datang made expeditions to Nanzhao several times before the Anshi Rebellion.

After Liumu stayed in Guangzhou City for more than ten days, Su Dingfang came back.

The clothes on Su Dingfang's body were torn, and his hair was cut again. The cut was shorter than the short hair of the heavy armor Mo Dao soldiers, and only a short layer was left on the top of the head. Looking carefully, there were still some parts on the outer armor that were not wiped clean. blood.

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

Su Dingfang was stunned, looked at himself and then smiled: "Jiaozhou City didn't encounter any resistance worth mentioning. There is nothing to do with this hair. It's hot and uncomfortable here so I cut it off. The clothes were taken from the mountains and forests. The branches are broken, and there is no change of clothes for marching and fighting, and our baggage is still stored in the city of Guangzhou."

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

"This blood is really dangerous. No one thought that there was a giant snake with a bowl-sized mouth on the tree. At that time, I swung my knife and chopped it. The blood of the snake was drenched all over. I was busy on the way, so I didn't wipe it off."

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

"Wenjing in Aizhou has gathered a so-called [-] army to fight us to the death. The Duke of Yue is furious and is preparing to mobilize troops to destroy them. When I come back, I plan to bring [-] pairs of heavy armor. Let's take the lead in attacking the city."

"3 people?" Liu Mu asked.

Su Dingfang nodded: "I observed with Duke Yue for a day, and there are estimated to be 5 or [-] soldiers and civilians in Aizhou City, and the number of soldiers will not be less than [-]. If you really resist desperately, this is considered a battle." A bad fight."

"No, send messengers there immediately, don't be in a hurry to fight. Think about it, it's a city with tens of thousands of people, if these guys are happy to kill the city, it's not good, not good." Liu Mu shook his head: " We can't arouse the sense of ethnic hatred in those monkeys, so we can't hit hard."

"This..." Su Dingfang also said, kill, kill until they give in.

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

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