Chapter 100 Black Jade
Zhao Gou smiled and looked at Ye Qing, then waved his hand casually. The two guards who blocked Bai Chun and Yan Qingcheng's way down, put down their arms and stood aside.
"For the Song Dynasty, the Jin people were both miserables and enemies, but the people were innocent. Everyone wanted to recover the Central Plains, but it was impossible to do it with all their passion and passion. Current affairs are the most important, and it may also be up to see if luck is on my side of the Song Dynasty. So now, it is good that I can do it if I don’t offend me and I don’t offend others. As for those who offend me, I will be punished even if they are far away. The Song Dynasty does not have the strength yet." Zhao Gou patted his knees, looked at the sparkling lake surface, and sighed.
Zhao Gou's words revealed too much helplessness. Even himself did not know very well where the problem occurred in the Song Dynasty.
In order to fight the Northern Expedition, Zhao Xing rehabilitated Yue Fei, demoted Qin Hui, and recalled Zhang Jun, Wang Huai and other military generals in charge of fighting, but what happened? Didn’t it end in failure?
As the Supreme Emperor, I let Zhao Xing do this and even support him to become a Ming monarch in the Song Dynasty who surpassed him. However, things in the world were unpredictable, and the luck of the Song Dynasty was still not enough.
Ye Qing looked at Bai Chun and Yan Qingcheng who were standing aside and waiting for him, then stood up and looked at the old man who was still sitting upright on the stone. But as he got up, the dozens of guards immediately put all their eyes on him. The sharp eyes looked at him, as if he was afraid that he would push the old man in front of him into the lake inadvertently.
I stretched and yawned again. Today, I got up too early because I was going to leave the city with Yan Qingcheng, and I still felt a little sleepy.
"You can't say that, luck is not good. Sometimes it depends on your strength. If you have strong strength, luck is on your own side. If you have weak strength, haha, no good luck will be on your side. But, don't just stare at the Jin people. Don't think that I am the Jin people in the Song Dynasty. If someone has been to the North and the Jin Kingdom, you may know that the Jin people's luck is not very good, and even... it's not as good as us. Sooner or later, you will be invaded by another powerful opponent."
"The Great Xia in the west?" Zhao Gou's eyes flashed with a ray of light, and he couldn't help asking as he heard Ye Qing's words.
"Xixia is nothing. Although she is not in harmony with me, Song Dynasty, it is just a Jin people who are tampering with her. The Jin people have long hands and far-sighted eyes. They probably saw all the threats on the grassland, otherwise they would not have joined forces with Xixia." Ye Qing shook his head, not wanting to say these things anymore. He just survived from Zhu Xi and others. At this time, he didn't want to talk about these things that made him headache.
"Prairie?" Zhao Gou pondered for a moment, but did not speak anymore. Instead, he looked at Wang Lun and pointed at Ye Qing who was about to leave.
"Yes." Wang Lun bowed and responded, then walked to Ye Qing and said, "My master admires the young master quite well, so please accept it with a smile."
Wang Lun stood in front of Ye Qing and slowly took out a piece of Hetian ink jade the size of a palm from his sleeve. A simple red rope tied to the top. The whole piece of Hetian ink jade was rich in color, pitch black as ink, and there was no impurity, as well as the graphite scales that are common ink jade.
Even if it is placed in the eyes of the outsider, Ye Qing, it can be seen that this piece of black jade, which is as dark as ink and emits a slight light, is definitely the best among the jade.
"What does it mean?" Ye Qing did not take it as soon as possible, but looked at Wang Lun and asked.
Wang Lun in front of him gave him a kind of feeling, just like in the Yan family's villa, the eunuch he saw was almost the same, with a charitable face and a full smile, as if the face would always have only a tiny expression.
"I hope my master will accept the little bit of my wish." Wang Lun still maintained the smile he had learned over the years. To others, even if he squeezed out a smile, it would make people feel as if it came from the heart.
"This is a bit too expensive, right?" Ye Qing turned his head and looked at Zhao Gou who was still sitting on the stone with a smile.
Seeing Ye Qing turn around, Zhao Gou's expression remained unchanged, and waved his hand calmly and said, "Take it. I rarely give things to others in person, let alone this part, even the priceless and top-quality black jade that I love very much."
"That's even more inappropriate. Although I don't like Confucianism, a gentleman does not win people's love. I still feel that it is reasonable and too expensive. After accepting it, I'm afraid that my life will be lost. Sorry, I won't receive any rewards without any merits. How about asking the old man to take it back?" Ye Qing was not stupid. After traveling through time, he also saw many elderly people, but it is rare to see people as majestic as the old man in front of him.
So at this moment, when he saw the old man and directly took out such a piece of priceless and top-quality black jade to give it to him, Ye Qing immediately became alert.
Zhao Gou was not angry, but he had no intention of asking Wang Lun to take it back. After thinking for a while, he said with a smile: "I have never rejected what I want to give, and I have never asked me to take it back again. Why, do you want to be the first person?"
It has to be admitted that the aura of the superior is indeed related to acquired cultivation. Similarly, because of the royal family, even though Zhao Gou abdicated for many years, his innate aura of power without anger is even more prominent at this moment.
"Then you should talk about it first, if you can do it..."
"Please accept it first. As for the errands you asked you to do, I will ask him to notify you at that time, Wang Lun, give it to him." After Zhao Gou finished speaking, he slapped his knees with his hands, stood up and left.
He was agile and energetic. He stood up easily and walked forward without any delay. He didn't look like an old man in his sixties or seventies.
Ye Qing looked at the old man's departure, and involuntarily sweated down his forehead. He grinned at Zhao Gou's back with some toothache. When passing by Bai Chun and Yan Qingcheng, the two women involuntarily took several steps back together, and then saluted Zhao Gou together.
Wang Lun smiled, then handed the jade pendant to Ye Qing again and said, "Young Master Ye, please accept it."
"Tsk...I...Okay." Ye Qing wanted to take the jade pendant with one hand.
Then he heard Wang Lun whisper, "Hold your hands, don't you understand this little etiquette?"
As Wang Lun finished speaking, Zhao Gou, who had walked not far away, happened to look back at the scene in front of him. Ye Qing looked at Zhao Gou speechlessly and nervously, and then quickly took over the jade pendant with both hands.
However, before he could look at the jade pendant, Wang Lun quickly disappeared from him, and then followed Zhao Gou and walked slowly forward with more than a dozen guards.
"I'll go..." Ye Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Then he saw Yan Qingcheng and Bai Chun running over: "You are crazy, you really dare to take this jade pendant. Do you know who he is?"
"Why...how can you cause trouble so much!"
Bai Chun and Yan Qingcheng didn't know when the united front was united. The two women looked at Ye Qing holding jade pendants in their hands, who were gradually moving away from Zhao Gou and others, and their faces were filled with worry and uneasiness and complaining in a low voice.
"Do you think I'm willing, don't accept it?" Ye Qing said with lingering fear as he looked at the faces of the two women who were in trouble with the country and the people.
"You...you can see it?" Yan Qingcheng glanced at the dark jade pendant in Ye Qing's hand and asked in a distance.
"No, I can't tell you nonsense, but I can't tell you? Who dares to wear yellow under a gray robe? You are the one who makes fabrics at home, and you dare to pull a piece of yellow fabric for your father as a clothes to wear." Ye Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his back was already wet at this time.
Yan Qingcheng was so choked by Ye Qing's words that she didn't know how to refute it. In front of Bai Chun, she felt embarrassed to have an attack, so she could only glar at Ye Qing helplessly, as if she was saying that she would settle the score with you in the future.
Bai Chun seemed a little calmer, but when he looked at the jade pendant in Ye Qing's hand, his eyes were filled with fear, as if Ye Qing was holding a piece of top-quality black jade now, but a fixed bomb.
"How did you...how did you see it? How did you know him?" Bai Chun looked back and saw that the dozens of people had disappeared at this moment, so he asked softly.
Perhaps he found out that his first question was a bit idiotic. After all, Ye Qing had just said that he saw the yellow clothes in the old man's gray robe, so he hurriedly asked Ye Qing how he met Zhao Gou.
"I don't know either. I'm just sitting here thinking about my worries, and then he will come over to chat with me, and that's it." Ye Qing spread his hands and said speechlessly.
Bai Chun and Yan Qingcheng watched Ye Qing spread their hands, especially when the hand holding the jade pendant spread to them, they were so scared that they hurriedly took two steps back, almost hitting Jinse and You'er.
"Who is he?" Yan Qingcheng waved his hand repeatedly and signaled Ye Qing to take back the jade pendant first.
Ye Qing picked up the jade pendant and looked at it. He saw two words engraved in thin gold-shaped characters: Jingkang, and behind the jade pendant, there was a... Ye Qing looked at it for a long time and realized that it was a lifelike crow.
"How do I know who he is? But it's not the Supreme Emperor, right? But the royal superiors must be wrong." Ye Qing continued to look at the jade pendant and murmured: "This is definitely not a good thing. Why do I feel like my life is about to finish it?"
"Tsk... don't talk nonsense... Did that person say anything else?" Bai Chun glared at Ye Qing and continued to ask.
"Help him get the job done, but what can I do? Could it be that I am urging Zhu Xi, Lu Jiuyuan's talent is too outstanding? He has made him love talents? I want me..."
"Can you be more serious at this time?" Yan Qingcheng was very depressed. He didn't know if he and Ye Qing had different horoscopes. Since he met him, things happened around them that were always caught off guard.
"I'm not serious yet. Why don't you take this thing and see if it's hot?" Ye Qing held the red rope at the top of the jade pendant. The dark black jade as dark as ink in the sunlight reflected deep green substance inside.
The word Jingkang is easy to understand, but it is just the Jingkang period or the shame of Jingkang, but what does it mean to be a crow carved behind it? Does the crow have any meaning?
"Who two of you know the meaning of the crow?" Ye Qing put the jade pendant. Although the jade pendant was heavy, it was nothing compared to the heaviness and doubt in his heart.
"Meaning? The meaning of a crow?" Both women couldn't help but turn their heads and began to think.
