Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 388
The old man once mentioned the power of the divine thunder to her. If he can really master this kind of divine object, maybe the hope of restoring the country can be seen in his own generation.

……

Since Ziying got the gunpowder out, the excavation progress of Lingqu has been more than a step faster. According to Shi Lu's estimation, it will not be difficult to dig through within three months.

Nothing happened, and Ziying was finally able to regain his status as a shopkeeper.

However, not long after Ziying's leisurely life, a piece of news related to Momen came.

Several dark spots of Momen in Berkshire were uprooted, and everyone was arrested.

And the person who did such a thing didn't hide his intentions at all, and asked the Mo Sect giant to go to them to discuss the life and death of these Mo Sect children.

Looking at the information presented by Momen, Ziying suddenly fell into deep thought.

The head of the Du family in Berkshire is a widow who has accumulated huge wealth by smelting mercury.

Several characteristics made Ziying think of a wealthy woman whom she had heard about in her previous life—Widow Widow Qing.

It was rumored that not long after Widow Qing joined her husband's family, her husband died, and she was able to firmly control all the wealth of her husband's family and the mines she belonged to in a short period of time.

Over the next 20 years, with Widow Qing's talent, she expanded the original business countless times and accumulated enormous wealth. Even the mercury used in the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum was paid by Widow Qing.

It is precisely because of Widow Qing's "seeing things" that she took the initiative to pay a large amount of precious mercury to Qin Ting, and Shu County turned a blind eye to her in some matters.

Even she gathered the refugees and organized a family guard of thousands of people, but she didn't interfere too much.

In the historical records of Sima Qian, there are also comments by Widow Qing that "use money to defend yourself, but do not see invasion", "propriety resists ten thousand times, and is famous all over the world", which is enough to show Widow Qing's rich financial resources and the power built on the basis of money. .

But, why did this widow Qing oppose Momen.

Since you can't figure it out, you have to go there yourself.

The other party called to see the giant of the Mo Sect, if he avoided seeing him, it would really chill the hearts of the people in the Mo Sect.

As for your own safety, you don't need to think too much about it. It's just a family power. Although there are many people, they are probably some refugees and down-and-out people who can't get along in the rivers and lakes, and they haven't left their own abilities.

Now that he is going to pass as a giant of the Mo Sect, Lingling can't make a big fuss about it, but fortunately everything is on track, and Ren Xiao's ability is unquestionable, and there won't be any trouble if he leaves for a while. , as long as you come back before the Lingqu canal is opened.

In the early morning of the second day, Ziying quietly left Lingling City. Only a few people, such as Ren Xiao and Shi Lu, knew about Ziying's departure. There is an important matter to leave for a while, and all military affairs are temporarily represented by Ren Xiao, and Shi Lu will arrange the digging of the canal.

The only people who accompanied him were Xia Ke and Jian Yi who were ordered to watch him this time.

The distance between Berkshire and Lingling is not too close, and Changsha County, where Lingling is located, is separated by Qianzhong County. Today, it is just a trip out of the province. It took a few hours to get on the train, but Ziying and others In this era, it was indeed a journey of nearly ten days before arriving in Berkshire.

When they arrived in Berkshire, Ziying didn't dare to hesitate and immediately led the two of them towards the headquarters of Widow Qing.

Arriving at the place, even Ziying couldn't help sighing that it was an easy-to-defend but hard-to-attack place, and just by looking at the scale of the building, it could be seen how strong Widow Qing's financial resources were.

I saw that the entire building complex was built directly against the mountain, and the whole mountain seemed to be hollowed out into a concave shape, and all the buildings were built in the area surrounded by mountains on three sides.

At the concave entrance, a city wall about three meters high was directly built as a protection. If it is not small in scale, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small city. If the structure of later generations is similar to it, then only Wubao after the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It was only when Ziying came near that he realized that even the gate was made of heavy hanging doors.

Jian Yi stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The giant of Momen is here, open the door quickly!"

On the other hand, Ziying and Xia Ke covered their faces with silk, and stood motionless behind. Their sensitive identities are really not suitable for too many people to see.

However, as soon as Jian finished speaking, there was indeed only one sentence to report back on the city wall, and there was no movement.

This wait is an hour.

As the number one swordsman in Xianyang back then, Jian Yi was not someone who could be bullied, and Ziying's identity, no matter whether he was a giant of the Mo sect or the king of Qin, was not more respected than this little family leader.

This made it clear that this widow Qing wanted to give herself and others a blow.

In fact, Widow Qing also thought the same way. If she put her status much lower than that of the Momen from the beginning, how could the subsequent negotiations continue, let alone ask for the secret of Shenlei.

"Juzi, this old widow is really bullying!" Jian Yi said angrily to Ziying.

After the suggestion was finished, Ziying's eyes, which had been closed all the time, suddenly opened, revealing a gleam of light.

"I've heard a saying before, 'If you can't bear it, you don't need to bear it anymore!', since this widow is completely obsessed with obsession, then you don't need to bear it anymore!" After saying that, Ziying drew out the Longyuan Sword with her backhand, and stepped on the steep slope of the city wall towards the end of the city wall. Go up and kill.

Widow Qing, without any reason, arrested the people of the Mo Sect, making Ziying already suffocated. Although Ziying forcibly suppressed it by relying on the self-cultivation of the two generations, it does not mean that he has no Temper, but has not yet reached that critical point.

The widow Qing's actions successfully defeated Ziying's critical point, so Ziying made a bold move.

Ordinary city walls can stop ordinary soldiers, but they can't stop masters like Ziying. Even Jian Yi and Xia Ke jumped up after a few leaps.

(In ancient times, the slope of the city wall was relatively large and not vertical. Tourists often climbed up the [-]-meter-high Nanjing Ming city wall. The city wall here is only more than three meters, so it is easy to climb.)
You must know that Ziying's swordsmanship has been practiced diligently since Gai Nie handed it over to him, and he has already entered the ranks of the top masters in the world. Xia Ke has also been taught by Ziying, and his martial arts are not low. Needless to say, the title of the number one swordsman in Xianyang did not come out of it.

The three of them suddenly killed the city wall without any warning. Most of the people on the city wall were ordinary people, so they could resist it.

After a while, the killed one ran away, but fortunately, Ziying still remembered that he came here to save people, so he didn't kill people, otherwise these people on the city wall might not survive a few.
