The wheels of the carriage pressed against the bluestone road, making a soft rumbling sound.
In the carriage, Wang Jian stared at Brother Zheng with wide eyes.
At this moment, Wang Jian was somewhat terrified in his heart!
He had only just realized that he was a ruler.
The wise and mighty Brother Zheng actually had a masochist attribute hidden deep in his heart?
At this moment, Wang Jian only wanted to say,""Your Majesty, please wake up!"
Zhao Yan was not bad, but the things he did were too infuriating.
Not to mention anything else, just in these two days, he had rejected the two of them several times.
Not only was he not allowed to enter the door, he actually did not even meet him.
Where did his intuition as a son come from?
If his own son dared to do such a thing, Wang Jian would have long hung him up and whipped him to death.
However, Brother Zheng, who was involved in this matter, was not angry.
It was fine if he wasn't angry. After all, the emperor had a broad mind. That kind of realm wasn't something he could imagine.
However, not only was he not angry, but he even liked that kid more and more.
For a time, Wang Jian's heart was filled with mixed feelings. There was some fear mixed within melancholy…
The sun rose and set. Another day passed.
The next day, Brother Zheng once again brought Wang Jian to Zhao Yan's new residence.
This time, the two of them did not even knock on the door.
Looking at the two sides of the door, he saw that the couplet that read " If you're in a bad mood, you should decline the guests " was hung up again.
Brother Zheng and Wang Jian smiled bitterly at each other.
"Let's go!"
Brother Zheng shook his head.
At this moment, he was also a little helpless.
Didn't they say that a child's temper came and went quickly?
This child had been at odds with her for so long. Why was she still not appeased?
After two days of familiarizing himself with the process, Brother Zheng was now familiar with it.
He was also open-minded. It was good to see him, but if he didn't, he would treat it as a walk after dinner.
The two of them quickly boarded the carriage.
The car had not gone far when they suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.
"Stop the car!"
Brother Zheng quickly said. At the same time, he lifted the curtain and looked back.
Then, he saw the old gatekeeper from yesterday running over, panting.
"Your Majesty, little master said that he can receive guests now!”
Brother Zheng and Wang Jian looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces.
This kid…really had a way of torturing people!
In the backyard of Zhao Yan's mansion, a group of servants were busy.
Zhao Yan lay on the recliner and raised his little hand to command the others.
"You, spread the charcoal out a little. The shelf above must be fixed properly!”
"You have to control the size of the meat when you wear the kebab. Otherwise, it won't taste good when you roast it!”
"Be careful with the oil can. There's only so much vegetable oil in the world. If you spill it, it'll be gone!”
That's right, Zhao Yan was preparing to barbecue!
Speaking of which, he felt quite terrified. Ever since he had come to Great Qin, he had not eaten a proper barbeque.
He did not lack anything.
The vegetable oil and some special seasonings used for barbecue were something that he had gotten from the villagers when he was in the village.
However, the essence of barbecue was seasoning, and the ingredients were also indispensable.
At that time, he had a pile of bottles and jars of seasonings, but he could not get any decent ingredients. He could not make it at all.
After coming to Xianyang, he had been running around all day and couldn't care less.
Eating barbecue was an activity to enjoy life. It had to be done in good weather and when one was in a good mood.
As the saying went, the right time, the right place, and the right people, nothing could be missing.
Today was not bad!
The mission of visiting the thatched cottage three times had been completed, and the system reward had been transferred to his account. At this moment, Zhao Yan was extremely arrogant.
Therefore, he took out the seasoning that he had saved up for many years to celebrate.
The servants were extremely nimble. Although this was the first time they were doing these preparations, under Zhao Yan's instructions, they were ready in a few steps.
Then, Zhao Yan chased everyone out.
He jumped off the recliner and walked around to check the things that the people had prepared.
"Not bad!"
Zhao Yan clasped his hands behind his back and nodded seriously.
Then, he pulled out a long copper sword from his leather bag.
"Using this to roast fish should be very exciting!”
As he spoke, Zhao Yan glanced at the big fish on the chopping board.
Just as Zhao Yan was humming a tune and happily barbecuing meat, he heard some movement behind him.
Brother Zheng and Wang Jian walked in.
The moment he entered, Wang Jian sniffed.
"It smells so good! Kid, what new food are you cooking?”
Wang Jian's old face was thick as he moved in front of Zhao Yan and asked with a grin.
Zhao Yan turned his head and glanced at Wang Jian, then glanced at Brother Zheng, and then snorted arrogantly.
Instantly, Wang Jian was so angry that his face turned green.
"Didn't you say you weren't in a good mood today and didn't want to see any guests?" he asked with ill intentions. Why did they call us back?”
"I'm in a good mood all of a sudden.”Zhao Yan said angrily.
Instantly, Brother Zheng and Wang Jian both laughed.
In their opinion, Zhao Yan's behavior was because he still had his temper and was still throwing a tantrum.
At this moment, Zhao Yan said in a very rude tone,"Do you want to eat? If you want to eat, come and help! You're already so old, yet you still want a child like me to help you get food. Aren't you ashamed?”
Brother Zheng walked over with a smile.
He looked curiously at the barbecue grill and the various ingredients on the table.
"How do I eat this?"
Zhao Yan rolled his eyes.”
Brother Zheng did not mind. Instead, he picked up a meat skewer with a smile and placed it on the barbecue grill like Zhao Yan.
The meat skewers were roasted by the hot charcoal and immediately sizzled with oil. A fragrance rose.
Brother Zheng picked up the bottles and jars beside him with interest. He imitated Zhao Yan and sprinkled some of the spices on them.
Instantly, the fragrance assailed his nostrils.
Even Brother Zheng couldn't help but be tempted.
Just as he was about to try it, Wang Jian's stuttering voice suddenly sounded from the side.
" Your, Your Majesty... you, take a look at this..."
Brother Zheng could not help but frown.
Old General Wang was considered to be all-powerful in his life. What kind of scene had he not seen?
Why did he become so ignorant when he encountered some new food?
He turned his head away.
In the next moment, Brother Zheng's eyes widened.
At this moment, Wang Jian held a long copper sword in his hand. There was even a five-foot-long fish on the copper sword.
Wang Jian's hand that was holding onto the sword hilt was currently trembling slightly.
It was to the extent that when Brother Zheng turned his head, Wang Jian could not help but stretch out his two hands and tightly grip the hilt of his sword.
Brother Zheng walked over quickly and took the copper sword from Wang Jian.
He lowered his head and looked at the exquisite inscriptions carved on the hilt of the sword with the help of the fire above his head.
"Your Majesty, this sword…"
Wang Jian's eyes still carried a shocked expression.
After a long time, Brother Zheng raised his head and slowly let out a breath.
"That's right, it should be that one!"
The shock in Wang Jian's eyes became even more intense.
At this moment, Zhao Yan's childish voice came from the side.
"What are you guys doing? I want to eat fish. Can you hurry up?"
Brother Zheng turned his head and looked at Zhao Yan. He smiled and asked,"Where did you get this sword?"
Zhao Yan said without hesitation,"Of course it was given by my master! This sword is not bad. It's quite sharp. It's very tasty when used to roast fish!”
Even with Brother Zheng and Wang Jian's shrewdness, they couldn't hold back when they heard Zhao Yan's words.
"Kid, do you know what sword this is? You actually used it to roast fish?"
Wang Jian pointed at Zhao Yan and said with a pained expression.
What a waste!
Cast pearls before swine!
If they were not mistaken, this sword was the Emperor Artifact Xuanyuan Sword, which was almost on par with the nine cauldrons in the land of the Xia Dynasty!
It was not important whether the sword was sharp or not. What was important was the meaning it represented.
In the land of the Xia, although there was no such thing as a god-given sovereign power.
However, the inheritance of the king also placed great emphasis on rationality.
What was rationality?
Those who held imperial artifacts were often tacitly recognized as the inheritors of the land of the Xia.
From the Yan Huang era until now, there were three famous emperor artifacts in the lands of the various countries.
The first one was the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, which was forged from the copper of Shou Mountain after Emperor Xuanyuan founded the Zhuxia Clan.
From then on, those who held the Xuanyuan Sword were qualified to become the masters of the Xia Dynasty.
However, the Yellow Emperor era was still a long time ago.
The Xuanyuan Sword had long been lost in the long river of time.
Because of this, after Xia Yu controlled the flood, he ordered the nine states to offer bronze and forge the second emperor artifact of the Xia Dynasty, the nine cauldrons!
Since then, the nine cauldrons had become the symbol of the royal power of the Xia Dynasty.
Throughout the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the nine cauldrons had always been the symbol of the legitimacy of the political power in the Xia lands.
However, during the Zhou Dynasty, the world was in constant conflict. The nine cauldrons were also lost during this period of war.
There were many famous historical stories surrounding the Nine Cauldrons.
For example, when King Wu of Qin died with his cauldron raised, the cauldron that he raised was one of the nine cauldrons. It was called the Dragon-Striped Red Cauldron.
During the period of King Zhuang of Chu, the Chu Country was powerful, and King Zhuang of Chu was extremely arrogant.
He raised his army and fought all the way north to the edge of the Luo River, scaring the King of Zhou to send Wang Sunman to comfort him.
King Zhuang of Chu asked his grandson about the size and weight of the nine cauldrons and wanted to move them to the State of Chu.
In the end, Wang Sunman told him that the nine cauldrons were huge and their weight could not be estimated.
Besides, ruling the world was about virtue, not the tripod.
You're still a little lacking.
King Zhuang of Chu had been rebuffed and left dejectedly.
After Brother Zheng unified the world, there were rumors that Brother Zheng moved the nine cauldrons to Xianyang, but the nine cauldrons did not recognize Brother Zheng and disappeared mysteriously.
This was, of course, a nonsensical term made up by the remnants of the Six Nations.
In fact, Brother Zheng had never seen the nine cauldrons before. At least, he hadn't collected all of them.
When he destroyed the Zhou royal family, the nine cauldrons were already incomplete. They were most likely smelted by the Zhou royal family to be forged into weapons.
The fact that he had not collected all nine cauldrons had always been a point of criticism for Brother Zheng.
The remnants of the Six Nations seized this point and fanning the flames everywhere to create trouble.
It was said that the Great Qin Empire did not gather the nine cauldrons, and the First Emperor was not an emperor recognized by the heavens and the rulers of the past dynasties.
This rumor seemed to be nonsense.
But in this era, it was really useful!
In ancient times, when the people were ignorant and science was not prominent, the people were easily fooled by those mysterious things.
Because of this, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled in Daze Village, they would go to great lengths to get a fish and stuff a note into the fish's stomach.
Liu Laosan was better off, and he had a group of fans who helped him spread rumors. There were legends about his mother washing clothes by the river and dreaming that a god was pregnant, his father liked to be a father, and he killed a white snake on the road.
As for Xiang Yu, this iron-headed child, he did not believe in evil and was unwilling to engage in these mysterious things.
The final result was that everyone had seen it…He had been taught a lesson by society!
Back to the main topic.
In short, to put it bluntly, an Imperial Artifact was the confidence of an Emperor.
With the emperor artifact in hand, the seat under his butt was more stable.
However, without an emperor weapon, even someone as strong as Brother Zheng would inevitably be spread rumors by the remnants of the six dynasties.
It was because I was so annoyed that Brother Zheng later used the famous Heshi Jade to forge the third imperial artifact of the land of the Xia Dynasty, which was the Imperial Jade Seal.
He had an imperial artifact, but those fly-like remnants of the six dynasties refused to acknowledge it!
They went around saying that the First Emperor's Imperial Jade Seal was not an Imperial Artifact at all. The First Emperor did not have the right to make an Imperial Artifact.
The people of the six countries were ignorant, and Great Qin had just unified the world, so it was difficult for them to adapt to their new identities.
Therefore, this kind of talk was very popular in the old territories of the Six Nations.
In the face of such a situation, Brother Zheng was also helpless.
For something like an imperial artifact, if there was, there was. If there was not, there was not. What could he say?
In fact, the Black Ice Platform had never stopped investigating the imperial artifacts of the previous dynasty.
There was no need to think about the nine cauldrons. Could he find the Xuanyuan Sword?
However, that thing had been lost thousands of years ago. How could it be easy to find it?
Brother Zheng didn't expect to find it.
He did not expect that he would find it without any effort!
The Black Ice Platform had searched all over the country, but it had not found the Xuanyuan Sword.
Brother Zheng saw this divine weapon in his son's backyard!
Moreover, his son was actually using this divine artifact to roast fish?!
Brother Zheng was relieved, but at the same time, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
At the same time, seeing the divine artifact covered in dust…no, the divine artifact piercing through the fish, as the emperor, Brother Zheng's heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe!
All in all, he had a complicated feeling!
At this moment, Zhao Yan said nonchalantly,"Old General, what you said is really strange. How can I not know what my things are? This is the Xuanyuan Sword. It seems to have been forged by the Yellow Emperor, right?”
Brother Zheng and Wang Jian widened their eyes.
Since you know what this is, how can you say such things so confidently?
Brother Zheng felt his body trembling uncontrollably.
The little guy in front of him was his son. Otherwise, he would have cursed at him long ago.
I'm afraid there's something wrong with your intelligence.
Then, Zhao Yan's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly jumped in front of Brother Zheng and took the Xuanyuan Sword from him. At the same time, he looked nervous and suspiciously sized up Brother Zheng.
"Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to my things?”
Instantly, Brother Zheng's face turned red and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't say a word.
