Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 348 I Ask You to Remember
"On February 24th of the 21st year of Yuankang, I set foot on the Great Wall of the Northern Border."

"There was no Great Wall in the world before. The Qin people used tombstones as walls and their lives as fortresses, thus building the Great Wall of the North."

"Walking on the city walls where black tombstones gather, all I see are the backbone of the Qin Dynasty and the pillars of the human race."

Concubine Qi, wearing a light pink long dress and a gold and jade phoenix hairpin on her head, stood in front of the wooden table in the courtyard with an open scroll in her hand.

There are words on every page of the book.

"I looked at the tombstone. There are words on it: Solid as a rock, never regretting death. This is the tomb of He Qing, the garrison commander of the Great Qin Fengtian Guard. Born in the 17th year of the Yuanfeng era of the Great Qin, he fought in hundreds of battles, achieved 389 military exploits, and died in the 59th year of the Yuanfeng era."

"How magnificent is the achievement of a hundred battles?"

"Looking at the tombstone again, it says: 'Unchanging for eternity, the Great Qin will remain forever.' This is the tomb of Lin Changjian of Guang'an Guard. He achieved 31,840 military feats, but died."

"Thirty thousand merits, the former Guang'an Marquis Lin Zhen unexpectedly fell on the Northern Great Wall. His tombstone, like an ordinary soldier, became the bricks and stones of the Northern Great Wall."

……

"does it worth?"

"I have a question in my heart, what exactly are the Endless Ancestors guarding?"

"Is it the Great Qin, the people, or the country and family in my heart?"

Looking at the handwriting on the paper, Concubine Qi had a complicated expression. She sighed softly, pondered for a moment, closed the book, then picked up the ink pen and wrote a line of words on the scroll on the table.

"I wish I could fight in armor at the Great Wall in the North."

"lark."

When she put down her ink brush, everything in front of her disappeared, leaving only a scroll unfolding.

This scroll was sent by Manager Zhou at the request of Princess Yuruo.

She used her soul to sense it and saw words left on the scroll.

She was not familiar with the other characters, but she recognized the handwriting of the two characters "哲龙".

The eldest prince Ying Rong.

The eldest prince is the son of the late queen and is currently considered the legitimate son of the Qin emperor.

But if the emperor appoints a queen, among the three imperial concubines, except for Concubine Qi who has no children, Concubine Jia and Concubine Yue both have children.

If either Concubine Jia or Concubine Yue was made empress, the eldest prince Ying Rong would most likely have no chance of becoming the crown prince.

Correspondingly, if Concubine Jia or Concubine Yue was made queen, the childless Concubine Qi would inevitably have a miserable ending.

Therefore, invisibly, Concubine Qi and the eldest prince are natural allies.

Over the years, they have developed a very good understanding of each other, and often cooperate with each other intentionally or unintentionally.

Looking at the scroll in front of her, Concubine Qi smiled slightly.

With this thing, at least her alliance with the eldest prince will become more stable.

Yuruo said she was confident, and it turned out to be true.

There really is a person behind this little girl who is hard to see through.

Black tiger.

The record of the travels to the Great Wall in the North is in Black Tiger's handwriting.

"My Lady, His Majesty has ordered a spring hunt and is asking how many men you would like to bring."

Outside the wing room, the voice of the female official was heard.

Hearing the question, Concubine Qi was stunned for a moment, then she chuckled, stood up, and walked out.

"I will go to see His Majesty in person."

……

The Grand Prince's Mansion.

After leaving a sentence "I wish I could die in the north for my country" on the scroll, the eldest prince wrote two more words.

"Spring Hunting", and then the soul left the Spring Mountain Picture.

As far as he knew, there had been no spring hunt in Daqin for five years. This time, the emperor issued an order for the royal family, officials, and elite talents in the city to participate in the spring hunt together.

In the past, spring hunting was the best opportunity for elite talents and royal descendants to become famous.

But this time, the eldest prince was a little hesitant and didn't know how to respond.

The position of Queen is vacant, the position of Crown Prince is still in doubt, and it seems that the Great Qin can easily resist the four countries and three regions with the strength of one country, and everything is running smoothly.

But beneath this stability, there are undercurrents.

There are many things he cannot say openly.

As the eldest prince, even if he does not move, he will still be at the center of the storm.

"Mother, what belongs to me is mine, don't worry."

"I will protect everything I have, and no one can take it away."

Whispering softly, the eldest prince gently rolled up the scroll.

……

Qianyang Palace.

In the hall, Yu Kuizhen was trembling all over and knelt on the ground.

At the top, sitting behind a long desk, Emperor Yuan Kang held a long scroll in his hand.

"I wish I could wear armor and kill the enemy at the Great Wall in the North."

"I wish I could die for my country in the northern border. Haha, your heart of serving the country is genuine." Emperor Yuankang flipped through the paper scroll in his hand. From the names such as "Zhelong" and "Heihu" to the experiences and travel notes in the scroll, everything was recorded without missing a word.

After flipping through all the pages, Emperor Yuan Kang slowly closed the paper and looked at the trembling Yu Kuizhen below.

Even though he was a master, Yu Kuizhen had no control over his qi, blood and true energy at this moment. He could only let it flow backwards, and every inch of his meridians felt as painful as if they were being torn apart.

"You can find useful records for important events in the palace in the future."

Emperor Yuan Kang's voice slowly sounded.

Yu Kuizhen trembled all over and quickly rested her head on the bricks.

"I dare not, I dare not."

He knew the power of the emperor, but he didn't expect that all his secrets would be discovered by the emperor as soon as he entered the palace.

Is this the majesty of the Qin Emperor?

Legend has it that when the Qin Emperor inherits the throne, he controls the Heavenly Dao of Qin and becomes one with the Dao. Is this true?

"I asked you to remember."

Emperor Yuan Kang's voice carried an irresistible majesty.

Yu Kuizhen was stunned for a moment, looked up at Emperor Yuan Kang, then lowered his head and said, "I understand. From now on, I will copy down everything I see and present it to Your Majesty."

He was able to become a third-rank official, so it was inevitable that he could read people's expressions and act tactfully.

Being able to figure out the emperor's thoughts is a skill that can be applied anytime and anywhere.

"Ah."

Emperor Yuankang waved his hand, and Yu Kuizhen hurriedly stood up and stepped back.

Outside the hall, Concubine Qi walked slowly towards them.

"Your Majesty, I want to take all the maids from the clan house with me on this spring hunt."

------------------

If you don't go to the Northern Wall, you will never understand what the Northern Wall is.

Zhang Yuan carried a book box on his back and walked towards the top of the city wall, his palms gently stroking the black stone tablets.

If the owner of the stone tablet dies, someone will carve the year and month of his death on it and record his military achievements.

If the owner of the stone tablet is still alive, then there will only be his name and military achievements on the stone tablet, and the time of his death will not be engraved.

"A void rift has appeared at the Northeastern Garrison's 37th Camp. Reinforcements are needed—"

There were shouts coming from the front.

The warriors and soldiers who were originally dozing off against the wall or sitting together chatting and laughing, all ran quickly and rushed forward.

Zhang Yuan followed closely with a book box on his back.

"Brother, I can't believe you, a scholar, also come to the Northern Great Wall."

A large man in a black robe, holding a long sword and with dark markings on his cheek, reached out and tugged at Zhang Yuan's arm: "If you encounter an evil demon attack, step back."

"boom--"

On top of the black city wall in front, there was a loud bang in the air, and several black cracks appeared.

A giant bird, five meters tall and with a wingspan of more than ten meters, rushed out from the crack and grabbed the guards on the top of the city with its claws.

"crossbow."

A low growl was heard.

"Bang bang bang-"

Seven crossbow arrows were shot out.

The crossbow arrow was more than two meters long and thicker than a thigh. The sharp blade shone with a dark light and with a shrill roar, it shot directly through the wings and head of the giant bird, knocking it down outside the city wall.

The large crossbow that shoots arrows has a force of at least 30,000 kilograms and is made with extremely precise forging techniques.

On the top of the city wall, a team of soldiers thrust out long spears with barbed hooks in their hands, hooked the body of the falling giant bird, and pulled it to the top of the city wall.

"Oh, another good meal of meat."

"This thing must be a bird, right? It has at least the energy, blood, and flesh of a mid-stage Xiantian. It's a great tonic."

A group of soldiers on the city wall were laughing and joking, while the reinforcements and soldiers in the rear were looking at the crack in the air slowly closing and shaking their heads in disappointment.

"I thought I could earn some Heavenly Merit, but it turns out I'm just a ferry bird."

"The void defense here seems a bit weak. Even the Dodo bird can tear through the space barrier."

The warriors and soldiers gathered on the top of the city began to disperse.

The black-robed man beside Zhang Yuan turned around and grinned, "It's okay, it's just a stupid bird."

"Would you like to stay and share a bite of the meat? The rules of the Northern Great Wall are that anyone who sees this kind of spoils gets a share. Although the meat of this thing is not tasty, it can improve Qi and blood as much as a Blood Crossing Pill."

Zhang Yuan did not answer, but just looked into the void ahead.

The black crack above the void has become just a dark line, almost invisible.

The soldiers on the city wall also began to disperse.

The big man next to Zhang Yuan saw Zhang Yuan's gaze and turned his head to look into the void.

His expression changed from a relaxed smile at first to a serious one.

"Enemy attack——"
