Chapter 158: The Treasure of the Country, Sun Wentai's Killer
Sun Jian led his army to Luoyang. Seeing that a thug took advantage of the chaos and robbed people's property everywhere. Sun Jian immediately ordered: "Close the city gate and divide it into four schools to guard it. Zu Mao gave you five thousand troops to maintain the security in the city. If anyone harmed the people again, they would behead them!"
Zu Mao hurriedly took the order and left.
Sun Jian brought the rest into the palace and searched. At this time, the palace was no longer as glorious as before. The collapsed palace walls were everywhere, and some palace maids who were unwilling to leave and eunuchs were shuttled through it like nightmares of wandering souls, adding a bit of weirdness to the palace.
Sun Cegang was startled by the palace maid with disheveled hair, patted his chest and said, "Is this still an imperial palace? It's like a ghost town, it's cunning."
Sun Jian's face was gloomy and he was walking on the road to Weiyang Palace. He wanted to see what the palace that represented the highest center of power in the Han Dynasty had now become.
Soon, Sun Jian rode his horse to the Weiyang Palace, and it turned out to be a ruin. Some unburned beams and pillars were still emitting white smoke, and some human-shaped objects with incomplete limbs were mixed in. I think some people accompanied the Weiyang Palace and turned into ashes.
Han Dang said in a deep voice: "Dong Zhuo is really annihilated. The last trace of dignity of this Han Dynasty was ruthlessly trampled on by him."
Sun Jian nodded in agreement and thought to himself that from now on, who would believe that the Han Dynasty could be resurrected from the dead?
Dong Zhuo's move was nothing more than pouring nourishment for the ambitions of the princes in the world. Even Sun Jian had a different idea at this time. He was not a stupid person. Thinking of the actions of the princes of Guandong, he immediately decided to find a foundation and develop his power.
At this time, Huang Gai walked quickly to Sun Jian from a distance and whispered: "Lord, I found a well in a side courtyard, and there was a glow in the well."
Sun Jian hurriedly followed Huang Gai to the side courtyard. At this time, more than ten Jiangdong soldiers guarded the side courtyard. The well was as Huang Gai said, and a ray of light shone out from it.
Seeing this, Sun Ce said in surprise: "Is there a rare treasure inside?"
Sun Jian immediately said to a personal soldier beside him: "Go down and take that thing up."
After hearing this, the personal soldiers found a rope to wrap around their waists and climbed into the well. After a while, a female corpse was carried out and placed on the ground.
Sun Jian hurriedly stepped forward and carefully observed the female corpse. She was dressed in a palace costume and thought she was not low in status, but because she had been soaked in water for a long time, her face was beyond recognition and she could not see her appearance.
There is a copper lock of several inches hanging between the neck of the female corpse. The copper lock is covered with various jade agates, and the rays of light are emitted by these things.
Cheng Pu said in surprise: "This... these precious jades must be priceless, otherwise how could there be the light of treasures?"
Sun Jian bent down and carefully looked at the copper lock. He saw that he reached out and flicked the copper lock gently, and a sound of time came. Sun Jian was stunned when he heard the sound, and said to Cheng Pu on the side: "Demou, come and open this copper lock, there must be a universe inside."
After hearing this, Cheng Pu quickly pulled out his knife and squatted down, carefully pried open the copper lock. After the copper lock was opened, a square piece of jade rolled out from inside.
Cheng Pu was shocked when he saw this. The jade was square, with white and transparent body, like mutton fat. When he looked closer, he saw four inches in a circle, with five dragons on the New York City, lifelike, making people obsessed with the first sight.
Cheng Pu carefully picked it up and flipped it over. The eight insect and bird seal characters "Actually, I will live forever" were engraved on the front. Cheng Pu was shocked and trembled with excitement.
Seeing this, Sun Jian was puzzled and asked: "Is Demou sick?"
Cheng Pu turned around suddenly, knelt down at Sun Jian, raised the jade seal in his hand with both hands, and smiled and said, "Congratulations to lord, congratulations to lord, I am really what everyone wants to get this treasure."
Sun Jian looked puzzled and thought to himself how Cheng Pu could do this? But he still took the jade seal from Cheng Pu. When he saw the eight insect and bird seal characters symbolizing destiny, he was as excited as Cheng Pu.
Sun Ce hurriedly asked, "Father, what is this? Why do father and Uncle Cheng have the same expression?"
Sun Jian was obsessed with stroking the jade seal, and Cheng Pu, who was beside him, explained to everyone: "This is the jade seal of the country."
Everyone was shocked after hearing this and hurriedly bowed to Sun Jian: "Congratulations to the lord for obtaining the imperial seal."
Huang Gai smiled and said, "Now that this imperial seal has fallen into the hands of the lord, it means that the lord is the destiny of heaven. If we do not make any achievements, wouldn't we be ashamed of God's favor?"
Han Dang said, "The lord is a man of heaven. You should return to Jiangdong quickly to take the foundation and plan for the world."
After experiencing the initial joy, Sun Jian said in a deep voice to everyone: "This is a secret of our army, so you must not spread it."
Everyone quickly agreed in a deep voice.
At this time, Sun Ce frowned and said, "Father, but who knows this thing is a blessing or a disaster?"
Cheng Pu quickly pulled Sun Ce and whispered: "Bo Fu, don't talk nonsense."
Sun Ce was originally a straightforward person, but he said, "Uncle Cheng, have you forgotten? Emperor Qin originally wanted to use it to spread it to thousands of generations, but after only two generations, the Qin family's country would be over."
Sun Jian whispered: "Shut up, what do you know?"
Sun Ce advised anxiously: "Father, this thing is an ominous thing. We might as well offer it to Yuan Shao and exchange it for some soldiers and horses."
Sun Jian's face changed and he shouted, "Bo Fu, you are not good at speaking on weekdays, what's wrong with this today? Seeing you so eloquent, I guess there must be a master behind you to give me some advice and say, Who taught you these words?"
Sun Ce immediately smiled bitterly, and then said what Yang Fan had said to him at Sishui Pass. He said, "When he was in Sishui Pass, Uncle Yang had asked Ce'er once. He said that his father would definitely have a wealth and honor when he came to Luoyang this time, but good and bad things often depend on each other, and the law of nature revolves around. My father suddenly obtained the jade seal of the country. Isn't that just what Uncle Yang said about wealth and honor?"
Sun Jian's face suddenly changed. He didn't expect Yang Fan to tell fortunes. The ancients believed in fate the most, but he asked anxiously: "Then what else did your Uncle Yang say to you? They all said to you as your father."
Sun Ce's words also silenced everyone around him. If someone else said it, they would definitely sneer, but if these words were said from Yang Fan, they would have to think about them carefully.
Since Yang Fan debuted, he often said something. Even Sun Jian had a question in his mind. Could it be that Yang Fan really calculated something?
Sun Ce hurriedly replied: "Uncle Yang once said that if his father gets rich, disaster will be near."
Sun Jian asked, "What's the disaster?"
Sun Ce replied: "Uncle Yang said what would happen if a child walked on the street with a piece of jade?"
Cheng Pu said in a deep voice: "What's the point of being afraid of a child? He will definitely be snatched by others."
Sun Jian suddenly fell silent, and after a moment, he whispered: "What if the child put it in a wooden box, others can't see what's inside?"
As soon as Sun Jian said this, Sun Ce was even more surprised and said, "The child was also asking Uncle Yang in this way."
Sun Jian was stunned and asked anxiously: "Then what do you say to Uncle Yang?"
Sun Ce replied: "Uncle Yang said that there is no airtight wall in the world, as the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts."
After hearing this, Sun Jian swept around the people with a pair of tiger eyes. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang San quickly knelt down and said, "Lord, we have followed the lord since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. We will never have a second heart."
How could Sun Jian not know the loyalty of the three generals? It was just that the ordinary soldiers around him could not guarantee it. Sun Jian's face was gloomy and he was thinking about something in his heart.
The soldiers around him were not fools. After seeing Sun Jian’s appearance, they hurriedly knelt down to him and said, “We will never betray the lord.”
Sun Jian whispered: "Bowen is right, wealth is moving, let alone such a treasure. Since you are all loyal to me and willing to die for me, it is better for you to die, so that I can rest assured."
Sun Jian then gave a wink at General Cheng Pu and his personal soldiers behind him. Everyone immediately understood. The three generals pulled out their weapons and rushed into the group of soldiers. After a moment, the more than ten people were killed by the three generals.
Sun Ce was still shocked at this time, and he said in grief and anger: "Father, they are all Jiangdong children who followed us. We are like brothers. Why did his father kill for a mere death thing?"
Sun Jian said toughly: "I only believe in your Uncle Cheng, Uncle Huang, Uncle Han and his father's personal soldiers. Others cannot guarantee that they are fathers. Only dead people will not leak the secrets."
Sun Ce suddenly discovered that his father had changed. He was about to speak but was interrupted by Sun Jian's hand and said, "Demou!"
Cheng Pu hurriedly bowed and replied, "The last one is here."
Sun Jian said in a deep voice: "I'll order all departments to pack up immediately and go back to Jiangdong with me tomorrow morning."
Cheng Puying said: "Abide by the order!"
"Report..."
At this time, a soldier suddenly broke in from outside.
Sun Jian asked, "What's the matter?"
The soldiers replied: "The leader of the Yuan Dynasty and the princes of Guandong are about to arrive in Luoyang."
Sun Jian's face changed, then stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly: "They are still here!"
