The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 552 Trading
Ying Xin nodded and smiled, "Maybe it's just some ignorant people talking nonsense, and they don't mean to spread any rumors maliciously."

"A sword is a sword. It is just lying there. Can it harm people automatically?"

Empress Zhao Daochang still had a worried look on her face and said, "Queen, I heard that all the famous swords in the world were born in accordance with the will of heaven. They all have their own spirituality and characteristics, and also their own destiny. We must be on guard against this."

"Have you ever heard of the legend of the king's sword, Zhanlu?"

Ying Xin frowned.

Queen Zhao Daochang continued, "Zhanlu has a spirit. It is the sword of the kingly way and the sword of righteousness. King Helu of Wu also obtained this sword. However, this sword flew away on its own and disappeared. It appeared out of thin air beside the pillow of King Zhao of Chu. King Zhao was the heroic ruler of Chu."

"And the king's Tai'a sword, it is the sword of the monarch's majesty, majestic and invulnerable to all evil. The fact that the sword has spirit is probably not groundless."

"King Helu of Wu once obtained Zhanlu and also had Yuchang, but he did not use Zhanlu, but used Yuchang to kill the king and his relatives."

"Now the queen is the mother of the Qin State, and Zhanlu is the king's sword. If you hold Yuchang in your hand, this..."

When Ying Xin heard this, she was shocked and took a breath. This made sense. This was too unlucky.

Rumors are not scary, what is scary is that they are all true. What is being spread now is the fact. If it is inferred from something that has happened in the past, then
Queen Zhao Daochang herself felt that it made sense. The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. It was inappropriate no matter how you looked at it for the queen to own the Yuchang sword.

Seeing that Ying Xin had been persuaded, Queen Zhao Daochang hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said, "After all, the queen is the mother of the Qin Empire. She should be the mother of the country and comfort the people. If she holds something fierce, it is not in line with her noble status."

Ying Xin nodded and made up her mind. She didn't use the Yuchang Sword very often anyway. The Yuchang Sword was too special and not suitable for daily practice.

Ying Xin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are right. Your consideration is indeed reasonable. Thank you for reminding me. If you hadn't mentioned this matter today, I would have really neglected it."

"The Yuchang Sword is indeed very inappropriate in my hands."

"It's just that this sword was originally a gift from my brother, and it's also a famous sword in the world. This, alas, I really can't bear to destroy it."

Queen Zhao Daochang smiled and said, "This matter is simple and does not need to be dealt with. Queen, please give this sword to me. If my husband knew about this, he would never want to cause trouble to me because of a murder weapon. I will deal with it on my behalf. As long as the sword is not in the Queen's hand, no one can say anything."

"I will give this sword to someone who is destined to be with me, or throw it far away. I will let fate take its course and I am not afraid of any messy things happening."

Ying Xin sighed and said in a low voice: "Alas, it has to be this way. Sister-in-law is very thoughtful. Thank you for everything."

Queen Zhao Daochang covered her lips and smiled, "Hey, why are you being so polite? We are a family. Besides, Qian'er and I will need your care in the future."

Ying Xin smiled and said, "Of course, we are a family."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries and chatted for a while. After Ying Xin sent someone to take out the treasure box and gave it to Zhao Daochang, she felt reluctant to part with it. Although her swordsmanship was average, as long as she was someone who liked martial arts, how could she be willing to part with such a world-famous sword?
Moreover, she had held the sword for many years, and she had some feelings for it. Moreover, the sword held a part of her longing.

After Queen Zhao Daochang returned to the mansion with the sword, she immediately sent someone to find Guo Kai, asking him to sell it. She did not want to keep this hot potato in her hands for a moment.

She also saw Ying Xin's reluctance, and thought of striking while the iron was hot to get closer to Ying Xin. She sold the sword, used this as an excuse to prepare a valuable gift, and then selected a sword from the treasury to give to her as a gift. This would be an absolutely perfect deal.

As a result, Guo Kai was not found. The servant said that Guo Kai had something to deal with with Yao Jia and would not be back for a few days.

Queen Zhao Daochang didn't care and sent people to ask Jianxin Jun for help. It didn't matter who sold it anyway.

When Jianxinjun arrived and heard this set of explanations, he felt that it made a lot of sense. Without thinking too much, he took the sword and prepared to sell it immediately.

Of course Guo Kai and Yao Jia avoided it on purpose. If they were to sell it, it would be hard to explain.

Mr. Jianxin is just right.

As the beauty of King Xiaocheng and the late king, and a highly valued person, Jianxinjun holds a high position and is entrusted with the care of the young king. It is normal for her to have deep feelings for the late king after years of friendship. It is also normal for her to swear allegiance to the young master until death.

And what Jianxin Jun did during this period also proved all of this. In order to protect the queen mother and the king, and to make the queen mother and the king live a better life, he actively cooperated with the Qin State.

But there is one thing that is not so good.

Ever since Jian Xinjun returned to Zhongshan, Guo Kai had keenly sensed that something was wrong. Even if Jian Xinjun was sad, he would not slowly distance himself from him. Jian Xinjun and I had been friends for more than 20 years and had always cooperated well.

In addition, Jianxinjun also had some hidden temptations.

We are all loyal subjects of the Great Zhao, and we are all on the united front, but Jianxin Jun is actually distancing himself from us! It is obvious that Jianxin Jun knows something that he should not know.

Jian Xinjun didn't say anything, but Guo Kai could guess why.

Jian Xinjun is a smart man, but he is also a man with bottom line and principles. It is not a good thing to put your handle in the hands of such a person. This time, the plan was made just to send Jian Xinjun away.

This is what everyone wants to see.

The king wanted to keep his and Yao Jia's identities firmly in place for some future plans.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this plan, he had to keep himself and Yao Jia out of it and not get involved.

Then we can only find a suitable scapegoat. Is there anyone more suitable than Jian Xinjun?
After Zhao was basically calm, Jianxin Jun's value was no longer great, but the threat was a bit greater. A person who was loyal to Zhao, who had served as the prime minister of Zhao for more than ten years and had a considerable reputation, was too annoying.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can kill two birds with one stone.

Get rid of an eyesore, resolve a potential threat, and save two people. Perfect.

Guo Kai asked Yao Jia to find something to do, so Queen Zhao Daochang could only ask Jianxin Jun to help him.

As a woman, she couldn't handle this matter on her own. Not to mention whether she had the experience or not, it would be inappropriate for her to do so.

Selling such treasures is not complicated, but it is not an easy matter either. It is just right to find Jian Xinjun.

In fact, even if Queen Zhao Daochang did not take the initiative to find Jianxin Jun, Guo Kai had a backup plan to involve Jianxin Jun, and in the end it was Jianxin Jun who dealt with the matter of selling the Yuchang sword.

But now everything is as expected, so it’s easier.

Jian Xinjun originally thought that it would not be possible to sell a treasure like the Yuchang Sword at a suitable price so quickly, but he never expected that as soon as the news was released, someone wanted to buy it!
Although the money was not much, the other party also offered a famous sword in exchange, and it was a sword that was just right for women to use.

It was just right to be given to the queen and was extremely suitable for her to hold, so Jianxinjun completed the transaction with the other party neatly.

The sword is named "Liu Guang". It was forged by Ou Yezi from the iron of a meteorite he encountered at night. Although the sword was made, it could not be sharpened no matter what. Ou Yezi sighed: Only when the mountains and seas are exchanged and the world changes, can the sword be sharpened.

The sword is three feet long, and the overall style is slender and graceful, extremely elegant and beautiful. Because it has no blade, it is not sharp, but rather gentle and peaceful. The sword body is made of meteorite iron, and the whole is as bright as white light. Moreover, it will reflect a faint colorful color in the sun, the moonlight, and the firelight. The changing light is different colors.

This sword is perfect for women, and even more so for a queen who rules the country.

A sword is a deadly weapon, and the Queen Mother should be a gentle woman, so she shouldn't hold a deadly weapon.

But if this sword is not sharpened, it is not a weapon!

And it is so elegant and beautiful, perfect for women to carry the scene!
Anyway, the princess is the queen of Qin and she will never have the chance to fight with anyone in her life. It doesn’t matter whether the blade is sharp or not. Beauty and meaning are more important!
In addition, this sword was also forged by Ou Yezi, so it is famous enough.

It is made of meteorite iron from outer space.

It is said that on the day of the king's birth, a flying star streaked across the sky, and the king represented the sky. This sword was forged from meteorite that fell to the ground, and given to the queen it represented the earth.

What is this? This is a match made in heaven!

The man only used 500 gold and this unsharpened sword to exchange for the Yuchang Sword, but Jianxin Jun still readily agreed to the deal without any hesitation.

Because, this is the most suitable one! It is much more suitable than the collections in the lady’s treasury. I don’t believe the queen will not like it!
When giving a gift, give the most suitable one!
Jian Xinjun went back happily to report the good news to Queen Zhao Diaochang.

I have already made up my mind to make an exquisite and luxurious scabbard, and that would be perfect.

Yan Dan also quickly got the Yuchang Sword. That's right, the one who traded with Jian Xinjun was Yan Dan's man, and the idea was all proposed by Guo Kai.

The Yuchang sword was placed in a treasure box, which was made of sandalwood and was extremely exquisite. It was inlaid with dozens of gems and constructed into the shape of a sword.

But Yan Dan didn't care about the box at all. He only cared about the Yuchang Sword, which was related to the success of the plan.

If you want to do something well, you must first sharpen your weapon. If you want to slay a dragon, you must have a sword that has drunk the blood of the monarch.

This treasure box is no more than two feet long and one foot wide. Although Yan Dan has never seen the Yuchang Sword, he knows that it is most likely a short sword or a short dagger, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it in the belly of a fish.

Yan Dan opened the treasure box with great anticipation. Jing Ke was also quite curious. As a swordsman, he definitely liked swords.

And this sword will determine the fate of the world.

The treasure box opens.
