"Who among you, my dear ministers, has ever heard of Tianshan?"
Of course, those powerful officials who were brought here at a designated time didn't know about this, but a few local people who were guided by Zhuge Liang did have such impressions.
Those who could enter the Hanlin Academy were no ordinary people, and some of them were even the best among the best. It was just that because of the powerful officials, their brilliance was completely overshadowed.
"Your Majesty, the Tianshan Mountains are probably located in the Hanshan Mountains near the eastern border."
Its eastern border is guarded by General Cao Zishuo, the son-in-law of the Nan family.
"But Tianshan Mountain is quite remote, and there are a few old men guarding the mountain."
It's rumored to be remote, but within the martial arts world, it's considered a sacred place for martial arts competitions. So, what's happening on the top of the mountain? It doesn't look like it's covered in snow.
"Anything else?"
"My father once said there seemed to be a holy place on the top of the mountain. It looked like it was made of glazed bricks and tiles, and there was a tall and majestic building standing next to it."
"It seems to be... Linglong Tower!"
? !
The appearance of this exquisite tower in the evil man's house shows that there is nothing wrong with the manufacturing process, but its inexplicable appearance on Tianshan Mountain is indeed suspicious.
After all, the journey was difficult, so how did that group of people transport the materials to the Tianshan Mountains?
There is perennial snow on the Tianshan Mountains, and the winter is long and cold.
It seemed that this evil mansion was just as he had thought before, it was indeed not simple. It was like such a chaotic environment actually raised a simple girl like Su Xi who was ignorant of the world.
I don't know if it's pure or stupid.
Or maybe it's just a trick, done for him to see.
"My dear, what you said really opened my eyes. Thank you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
If you point to Tianshan Mountain alone, he really doesn't recognize it. But if you point to General Zhendong, that place is the most remote. Although Hanshan is called a mountain, it is a place name, and the most famous place in that place is Tianshan Mountain.
The original book mentioned that the Tianshan Mountains were difficult to climb, and no other country dared to advance through the Tianshan Mountains when invading.
After the previous brief mention, he thought that Tianshan Mountain was indeed steep and cold, just like the steep Mount Everest.
It seems that someone on the mountain took care of it for him.
The fact that there had been no war in the East for so many years was probably due to the good fortune of that group of people. As a result, the number of troops in the East was drastically reduced to a minimum, but their food supply remained the same.
After all, the wind was so cold that without enough food, they would not be able to survive until the enemy attacked and would all freeze to death.
Zhao Xin went to the library.
The library was a place he had never stepped into from the beginning to the end. At this time, there was some dust scattered in the library, and it was a bit choking when blown gently.
The interior is elegantly decorated, with crystal-colored gems inlaid on all four sides of the house, and gold glazed tiles adorning the interior. Inside, there are long pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, all without eyeballs.
Could it be that he was afraid that the dragon would become real and run away?
But that's not really his point.
The eunuch Xiao Chenzi who was accompanying him respectfully went in to check on him in advance, but he choked and was expelled.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this place has been unattended for a long time."
"Xiao Chenzi, who manages this library?"
"Your Majesty, this library has been unattended. Only the Divine Machine Chen Mang has been here. He left Qin State about a year ago to travel."
Chen Mang, a master of magical machines.
Rumor has it that Chen Mang was born strange, with a pale complexion and a strangely long horn on his head, resembling a rhinoceros. However, his appearance was impeccable.
It was precisely because of this that he was disliked by everyone that he was noticed by the predecessor of this body and entered this library to study. He repeatedly arranged for scholars to encourage each other, but without exception, they were all scared away.
Therefore, Chen Mang's desires were even lower.
Oh, what an adult.
Although Chen Mang's desk was a mess, they were lucky enough to find the classification table for books. Based on the classification, they also quickly found the topographic map placed in the corner.
With a slight shake, the things inside fell out.
There was a very brief sentence written on it.
"Traveled all over the world, only in name only."
Zhao Xin was in a low mood, but he put the words aside and just looked carefully at the flag sign on the topographic map.
Flag = coordinates of key buildings occupied by Qin
Dashed line = dividing line
The Tianshan Mountains to the east are circled.
The handwriting didn't seem to be from the map itself, but rather someone's own additions. Furthermore, the handwriting had long since dried up, suggesting it must have been drawn a long time ago.
"I'm afraid this divine machine is very worried this time..."
The eunuch next to him didn't hear clearly and turned his head and exclaimed.
It was indeed extremely remote. Zhao Xin once again glanced at the location marked on the palace, then carefully measured it with his hand. It was roughly the distance between his thumb and middle finger.
The map itself took up a large table, and the two locations were so far apart. It seemed like if I wanted to go with this invitation, I'd have to start today or tomorrow.
The Anshen Festival was approaching, the most important festival in the Great Qin Dynasty. How could he just act out of temper? It seemed that he would not be able to attend this conference.
Outside the palace, an altar was opened at the Temple of Heaven. Ten days of burning incense were required to pray to the spirits and ancestors. This was the incense, so there were still ten days left before the Anshen Festival.
His guards and palace maids were running back and forth with things in their hands.
Burning incense was not enough, they also had to set up a wok and heat oil, then throw corn, a symbol of grain, in. If the corn kernels burst and scatter, it means the next year will have a good harvest, as the late emperor hoped.
If it turns black, it can only mean that there will be chaos and rebellion in the next year.
This...isn't it just popcorn?
Zhao Xin still remembered and seemed to have tried to make it, but he could never make the taste of what was sold in the cinema, so he gave up.
And this is what Heshen was still talking about.
"Your Majesty, the three days before and after the Anshen Festival are to bring peace to the world."
As for peace in the country, it meant lifting the usual night curfew, and for nine days the night watchmen would no longer have to go back and forth beating gongs. Meanwhile, salaries would still be settled.
It's like a paid vacation.
It's a shame this divine machine passed away before the Anshen Festival, otherwise we could have used it to make something else. Since it's called a divine machine, I guess it must have been pretty good at mechanical work.
Plus, he was on good terms with the original owner...
There was a commotion outside, as if someone was coming to move something.
"Someone, move the gunpowder barrels outside the city."
A group of guards were carrying unknown objects in an orderly manner. The logo on the corners of their clothes looked more like... the group of people he sent to Heshen.
Those who are talented in both literature and martial arts and have special skills are forced to carry fire and medicine barrels.
It seems that fireworks will be set off on the evening of the Anshen Festival, and I heard that the fireworks have to be made by the palace's royal pyrotechnician before the event.
Of course, the main thing was to go around the city and ask for help. This year's venue was still the imperial residence in the city. The things inside were intricately packed with things that had not been used up last year.
