Chapter 98: Let the ladies in the world be crazy about it

In the history of the Tang Dynasty, where black gunpowder first appeared, it was soon forgotten. After all, Xuanwu Gate was a taboo in the Tang Dynasty. Unless it was a birthday boy who drank arsenic, no one dared to mention this matter.

Of course, the first actual combat grenade bomb quickly disappeared into people's memories.

However, the explosion in Songbang Fort made the Tubo people present feel extremely frightened. The iron-hearted wooden city gate wrapped in iron sheet turned into powder under the action of the huge kinetic energy of gunpowder. The kinetic energy that had nowhere to be released finally swept towards the city gate tower and the Tubo soldiers on the city wall. The city gate tower and these Tubo soldiers did not stop the spread of the shock wave.

Finally, the dust disappeared.

The originally tall and majestic city gate tower disappeared, with only gravel and half-cut walls everywhere. Not only that, the urn behind the city wall was full of Tubo corpses, and they were lying on the ground very quietly.

As if they had made an appointment, the thousands of Tubo soldiers inside and outside the city of Songbang Castle were all still. Their eyes and ears were bleeding. They wanted to stand up, but they fell to the ground.

This group of thousands of people collapsed suddenly as if the sand tower on the beach was hit by the waves.

Even the Tubo people who were not affected by black gunpowder did not think it was the power of black gunpowder. They naturally believed that the rising orange-red fireball and the roar that was far more than the giant thunder were the power of gods and demons.

Originally, holding Andonaji, who was sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, his mind was blank.

He stared blankly at the huge gap in Songbang Castle City and murmured to himself: "God... this is not human power!"

Not only Andonaji, but even the Tubo people in Songbang Castle also summarized the black gunpowder as the power of the gods.

Looking at the Tubo people who were as if they were immobilized and legally stayed, Chen Ying laughed and said, "Soldiers, rush in!"

The core troops of Songtsen Gampo, the remaining troops of Songbang Fort, were like mice under cat claws, kneeling on the ground, trembling.

Chen Ying was getting closer and closer, and finally Chen Ying led the cavalrymen to rush into the gap and rushed into Songbang Fort.

However, no one stopped the Tubo people, and no one dared to shoot arrows at Chen Ying.

In the eyes of countless Tubo people, the tall and thin young Tang Dynasty man in front of him was not a human being at all, he was a god.

Otherwise, there would be no such terrifying power in the world.

Almost no arrow was used or shot. The capital of the Tubo Dynasty was successfully attacked by Chen Ying.

Seeing Chen Ying leading the Tang cavalry into Songbang Fort City, the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition also yelled: "Enter the city... Enter the city!"

A strange and spectacular scene appeared. The soldiers of the Tang army and the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition rushed into the Songbang Castle like a tide. At this time, the Tubo army that reacted immediately leaked out from other portals like a tide, just like a flood of a dam rushing into a water storage lake. The lake could not be kept in check and collapsed, so that the water flowed everywhere.

The hearts of the Tubo soldiers were completely confused. Even if Songtsen Gampo is there, they may not be able to effectively control it. What's more, Songtsen Gampo doesn't know where they have escaped.

When thousands of cavalry under Chen Ying of the Tang army entered the city, most of the Tubo soldiers fled outside the city. Those who stayed in the city had no intention of fighting. When they met the Tang army's iron hooves, they knelt on the side of the road or hurried inside the house.

There was basically no fierce battle in this siege. Chen Ying rode his horse on the city wall, looking at the Tubo soldiers and civilians crawling and surrendering, and suddenly sneered. It was noon, and it was the best time of the day, but Chen Ying saw a savage of a barbaric and powerful tribe under the white sunshine.

At this time, more and more anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition soldiers flocked to Songbang Castle City. When they entered the city, they would stop involuntarily and watch the gap that was blown up by more than 600 kilograms of black gunpowder.

All the tribe leaders of the anti-Sontsen Gampo coalition army became silent as they looked at this scene.

Although the Songbang Castle City was successfully captured, all the tribe leaders of the anti-Sontsen Gampo coalition were in a heavy heart.

Andonaji said to a head man beside him: "It's so dangerous, fortunately we are not standing opposite General Chen!"

"Yes..." The tribe leaders of the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition all felt that they had been walking around the gates of hell, and many of them had already wet on their backs.

They are glad that they have made their right choice and that it is God's will.

They formed the anti-Songtsen Gampo alliance and used Chen Ying's thoughts. They all knew very well that the Tubo Snowfield was a blessed land given to the Tubo people by God, and only the Tubo people could survive on this land. When the Tang people came to Tubo, even if the strong man was, he would be weaker than a sheep at most half a month.

However, now they will definitely not be able to feel dissatisfied with Chen Ying.

Chen Ying seemed to be muttering before the impact, as if this was a spell.

Andonaji silently muttered: "In this life, I will never be enemies of the Tang Dynasty!"

Thinking of this, Andonaji felt a slight heart and shouted at the troops beside him: "Kill all the Tubo people!"

Of course, the Tubo people he chased were all Tubo people outside the city.

As for the city, seeing no one resisted, the soldiers of the anti-Songtsen Gampo allied stayed outside the city. It was not that they did not want to enter the city, but they did not dare.

After all, it is the season of harvest.

Songbang Castle City already belongs to Chen Ying. They all longed that Chen Ying could leave some soup for them when eating meat.

The royal palace of Songtsen Gampo is very luxurious and magnificent.

Many of the wooden pillars inside are made of wood similar to small-leaf red sandalwood, but if you look closely, you can tell that it is not small-leaf red sandalwood. If you move a table back to future generations, you can sell it at a sky-high price.

Under the leadership of the Tang army soldiers, Chen Ying and Ma Zhou took the lead in.

As soon as he got inside, Chen Ying was stunned.

He saw a white jade bowl on the table. Although it was not mutton fat jade, it was also Kunlun white jade.

In fact, Kunlun jade and Hetian jade are on a mineral vein and are collectively called Hetian jade in later generations.

It would be too luxurious to make a bowl of white jade like this big piece of white jade!

Ma Zhou also saw this jade bowl, exclaimed, and said in surprise: "Is this a jade bowl?"

He moved quite quickly, ran to the table, picked up the jade bowl and looked at it.

Chen Ying went up and saw that except for a jade bowl on the table, there were six white jade bowls of the same size, with the same color, color, and even the carved textures. It was not surprising that Chen Ying could create such an identical jade bowl, but it was even more rare when it was completely handmade.

Just as he was about to play with the jade bowl for a while, Chen Ying accidentally looked up and saw two white jade swords hanging in the center of the lobby, about 31 feet and 3 inches long. For a real sword, this scale is too short, but you must know that this is a Hetian white jade, a whole piece of Hetian white jade!

The sword scabbard with gold as the handle and gems inlaid makes Chen Ying feel speechless.

With the creation methods of this era, whether it is a jade bowl or a jade sword, there is no cutting technology from later generations. It can only be polished bit by bit by bit. Especially the volume of the jade bowl and the volume of the bowl center is all ground waste. Looking at the volume of these six bowls, it has almost five or six kilograms of portions, and about six or seven kilograms of Hotan white jade is wasted like this.

"What a fucking prodigal!" Chen Ying's eyes widened and he hurriedly said, "Help me take down those two jade swords."

"Okay." Guo Luo climbed onto the table, took off two white jade swords, and handed them over.

When Ma Zhou counted the seizure, he crossed out all the six Hotan white jade bowls and two white jade swords.

Chen Ying immediately ordered: "Please search the palace and find that all this nephrite is taken over for me."

"Yes, I'll be searching now." Guo Luo didn't ask anything, turned around and called his personal guards to search the entire palace.

Chen Ying stood still and was very excited. It would be better to search for more gold, silver and treasures, the more the better. Even if there are one ton or two, Chen Ying would not dislike it!

About a quarter of an hour later, some good things were presented one after another.

Guo Luo walked out of the inside with a small box. He stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord, there is something good!"

Chen Ying said excitedly: "What did you find?"

Guo Luo hurriedly handed over the small box in his hand and smiled and said, "This is the jewelry box that Bei Zhi found in a room. In addition to the nephrite you mentioned, there are also light beads and crow green."

The so-called light beads are rubies, and the crow green is sapphire.

Chen Ying rarely paid attention to gems, and he could not afford it in later generations. However, he knew that rubies and sapphire natural resources were very rich in Myanmar, and there was a little bit that rubies and sapphires in Myanmar were a little more expensive than other places.

Take sapphires as an example. When it comes to sapphires, people's first reaction is Sri Lanka, but in fact, the same color, color, shape, carat sapphires are much cheaper than those in Myanmar. There is no need to mention rubies.

Chen Ying became interested and reached out to take the opportunity and said, "Let's take a look."

Without explaining anything, I opened the jewelry box. Seven or eight gold and silver products appeared inside. Without exception, these gold and silver products were inlaid with various gems.

The first thing to see was a gold ring. As for gold weighing about one or two, Chen Ying ignored it. He picked up the ring and said in surprise with some uncertainty: "It's actually a glass-type imperial green ring face?"

Ma Zhou didn't understand these things, and said in confusion: "Isn't this crystal?"

"Haha, this is a bit troublesome to explain. If you are interested, I will teach you slowly when you look back." Chen Ying said casually.

The ring face has very delicate quality, dense crystal grains, and can be seen with fluorescent light at the naked eye. The texture is delicate and pure and flawless, the color is pure, bright, rich and even, which is very consistent with the characteristics of glass imperial green.

However, it is not certain yet. Chen Ying continued to observe. The ring face is not granular or brittle than the naked eye. Generally speaking, the mineral crystals of glass-type jade are very delicate and the particle size is uniform, which is so formed. Moreover, the ring face has high transparency and glass luster, giving people the overall feeling as clear and transparent as glass. The glass type can be confirmed without a doubt.

The rest is just to tell whether it is imperial green or not.

The tone of the ring face is rich, rare, noble and elegant, as if it is the essence of the color. Its color is dark green and pleasant, and there is no color shift in the rich green. The green is positive and the green is spicy. Although the green is thick, it is still beautiful. It is solid and imperial green.

Chen Ying was a human being in his two lives, and this was the first time he had actually seen a glass-type imperial green jade. He couldn't help but get excited. He couldn't help but put the gold ring on his finger and smiled and said, "Hey, don't say it, it's just right!"

At this moment, Guo Luo took out a golden hairpin and said, "This is a good thing, you can give it to the little lady to play with!"

The so-called little lady of Guo Luo is actually Chen Ying's daughter Li Ruoxi.

"Hey, pigeon blood ruby?" Chen Ying's eyes lit up. His eyes were attracted by the glass-type imperial green ring face, but he didn't notice that there was a pigeon blood ruby. He picked up his hairpin and looked at the light position.

This ruby ​​is water droplet-shaped and is embedded on the head hairpin. It is preliminary to judge that its color is as rich as dove blood. It is hard to judge that it is indeed a pigeon blood ruby.

Chen Ying was simply ecstatic at this time. Just a gems and jade looted by the palace, Chen Ying earned back the military expenses of the Tubo army.

The various gems in the Tubo royal palace are not only numerous, but also a wide range of gems, ranging from the nephrite of Hetian white jade, jasper, and even black jade, as well as various gems.

What emeralds and cat's eye stones are available.

Chen Ying shouted in his heart: "I've made a fortune, I've made a fortune!"

Generally speaking, rubies need to be heat-treated and cut to achieve an ideal state, but the value of burning is much cheaper than that of burning. For example, many people who are interested in collecting know that rubies without heat-treated can be collected by more than one carat, while rubies that have been heat-treated generally have to be more than three carats before they have higher collection value.

It is obvious that the ruby ​​on the hairpin in front of me is not burnt, and it may also be naturally formed in water droplets.

The pigeon is blood-red and natural water droplets. This ruby ​​is priceless. Chen should have reason to believe that once these jewelry and gems are shipped to Chang'an, it will be enough to make the ladies in Chang'an and even the whole world go crazy.

Ma Zhou suddenly said, "Master, how about this string of crow green necklace?"

"Hold, Cao," Chen Yinglian said with a dizzy look: "It's such a large string of sapphires?"

The sapphire on this necklace is the purest blue, not other green, yellow, gray, etc., and the blue is brilliant, making people feel thrilling.

Chen Ying took a deep breath and said in surprise: "My God, is this the legendary royal blue?"

Just now, when the jewelry was packed up, no more than sixteen or seventeen bulky boxes were carried into the hall by Tang soldiers.

Chen Ying said in confusion: "This is..."
