Looking for Qin Jizhi

Chapter 14 Seal Characters

Hearing what Li Xiaochao said, Ying Zheng didn't insist. He took out the Mozi sword from the box. If the place didn't allow it, maybe he would demonstrate a few moves of the sword.

After seeing it, it’s too late to put the sword in the box. In Ying Zheng’s mind, a sword is the right way only in the hands of people. Hiding it in the box and putting it in the cabinet really loses the original meaning of the sword. .

"Since Brother Li said so, this jade ornament should be considered as my gift to Brother Li." After saying that, he handed the jade ornament to Li Xiaochao without hesitation, Li Xiaochao hesitated for a moment, then took it with a smile.He could also see that Ying Zheng didn't like people rejecting him when he said it.

However, he didn't care as much as Ying Zheng did. He hurriedly asked someone to take the box and put it carefully in the box. Speaking of which, he is also a jade lover, and there are many top-notch jades, but this piece of jade can be Call the most!

I really don't know how Brother Zhao Zheng and Zhao got it, could it be a family heirloom?But if it was a family heirloom, how could it be so easily given away?But looking at the ancient sword he looked at just now as if he was a little nostalgic, could it be that this sword has a long history with him?

Just when Li Xiaochao was about to put the jade ornaments away, he heard: "Wait a minute!"

The person who spoke was Mr. Liu. He was not very interested in this item at first, because the jade ornament looked bright and new, and it had nothing to do with the antiques he was interested in.

Even so, it does not prevent him from appreciating this piece of jade. The carving has the charm of Qin and Han Dynasties, and it is really a masterpiece of a master.But in the blink of an eye, he saw a small seal character under the jade ornament, and his eyes were fixed, waiting for a closer look.

When Old Mr. Liu was attracted by the seal characters, Li Xiaochao wanted to put away his things.In desperation, he called out the word wait a minute.Although Li Xiaochao was a little puzzled, but seeing Mr. Liu's attitude, it seemed that there was something different about this jade ornament?

Because Old Mr. Liu is an expert in antiques, Li Xiaochao's heart skipped a beat when he heard him shouting "Wait a minute, could it be that this jade ornament is still an antique?"

"I wonder if nephew Li Xian can let the old man take a closer look." Mr. Liu then asked aloud.

"Mr. Liu is willing to help appreciating, I naturally wish for it." Li Xiaochao asked someone to put the things on the table, opened the box and said, "Please!"

Old Mr. Liu carefully observed the seal characters on the jade, his brows gradually wrinkled, and his expression was filled with doubts. After two more glances, he took the gloves and put them on, carefully covering the jade ornaments with a soft cloth. After wiping it again, I picked it up and looked at it carefully.

Mr. Liu's careful movements made Li Xiaochao a little ashamed of his actions just now, but there was no expression on Ying Zheng's face.

Ying Zheng felt a little disapproving, feeling that he was making a big deal out of a molehill, but he didn't know that in this era, the more precious things are, the less they are, and naturally they should be preserved when they appear.

Especially jade, something that has been admired since ancient times, there are still some sayings that jade is spiritual, and if it is raised by one person for a long time, it may destroy its spirituality if it is changed suddenly without special steps.Therefore, it is necessary to use a soft cloth to separate the contact with the human body when viewing, so as not to slack spirituality.

Yingzheng didn't know this. After he became emperor, he used the best things, especially after the unification of the six countries, he was the top of the best.It's just because He's Bi is really quite his favorite, otherwise he wouldn't use the scraps.

So sending this jade ornament out now doesn't feel much distressed.

Ying Zheng knew that the character on the jade ornament and the jade seal were all made by Li Si, and they were in the shape of insects and birds.On the jade seal is the longevity Yongchang who was ordered by the sky, and there is only one word on this jade ornament, that is Ying, which is his surname.

Mr. Liu flipped through it for a few weeks, and after putting it down, he turned and went into the back room, took out a magnifying glass and some materials, and after watching it for a long time, he carefully asked Ying Zheng: "I don't know if it's convenient for Mr. Zhao to tell you about this thing." origin?"

Ying Zheng frowned when he heard the words, looked at Old Liu, and said nothing, but everyone could tell that Ying Zheng didn't want to say anything.

Mr. Liu felt a little regretful, and after putting the item into the box, he said helplessly: "If this jade doesn't look too new, it would be really amazing! That's why I want to know the origin of this item. Hey!" Sighed, but still looked at Ying Zheng with a look of expectation.

Hearing this, Li Xiaochao was surprised and said, "What's the explanation for Mr. Liu's words?"

"Let's look at this seal character first. This seal character is a seal character that emerged in the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period. It is mostly used for decoration. But it is this kind of decorative character that was engraved on the jade seal of Chuanguo! After the Qin Dynasty, characters Unification, there were very few people using this kind of seal character, until later generations began to forge the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in order to compete for the throne, this kind of insect and bird seal was used again, but it is obvious, compared with the Qin Dynasty's insect and bird seal , was greatly influenced by other fonts, and the Chongniao seal script of each dynasty has its own characteristics."

Mr. Liu said with great emotion: "Moreover, the Chongniao seal script pays attention to a structure, which makes the strokes bend and wrap around to achieve a beautiful, animal-like effect. According to the characteristics of the seal characters left over from each dynasty, some of them can be roughly restored. text that I have seen."

Pausing for a moment, then pointing to the small seal character on the jade ornament, everyone's eyes also fell on it. At first it was just a decorative pattern, but it turned out to be a character?

Li Xiaochao glanced at Ying Zheng, seeing that he didn't respond, he thought he knew about it a long time ago, but he didn't know that Ying Zheng's heart was actually fluctuating.But it's not for seal characters, but for the four characters Chuan Guo Yuxi.

So what if the Qin Dynasty he established perished in the second generation?But the jade seal of his Qin Dynasty has become a sign of orthodoxy. Isn't this an inheritance from another side?

Now, Yingzheng's long-standing sense of aggrieved by the demise of the Qin Dynasty has been reduced a lot. That's all, besides his son's failure to live up to expectations, he himself has to pay a certain amount of responsibility.

"Look at this seal character. It has been restored. It is a Ying character, which is the surname of Qin Shihuang. And his structure and brushwork, after searching, only the seal characters on the Chuan Guo Yuxi and the engraver are the most consistent. It is incredible! But , the seal characters and engraving of Chuanguo Yuxi only have rubbings left, hey, it’s hard to be sure, it’s hard to be sure~”

Old Liu looked at Ying Zheng, saw his calm face, and finally sighed helplessly. It seemed that this could only be a mystery.After all, even if the guess in my heart is true, except that the jade of this jade ornament does not look like thousands of years old, there is no definite evidence to prove the value of this jade ornament.

Jade is not like jade that is more than 2000 years old. It may also have an unknown preservation method. For Mr. Liu, jade is not very important. What is important is the seal character on it. If it is real, its value is immeasurable.

Li Xiaochao didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, Ying Zheng's expressionless face actually showed the value of the jade pendant.Looking at the word Ying, a strange feeling flashed through my heart, but I couldn't grasp it no matter what.

In the end, everyone had to put away the jade ornaments and planned to go home.

Ying Zheng was holding the Mozi sword in his hand, but he didn't put it in the box. Li Xiaochao thought that it would be okay to get antiques in Antique Street anyway, so he didn't try to persuade him any more. It's really beautiful, just like holding bamboo slips.

As soon as he left the shop, Li Xiaochao was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he wandered around the Antique Street, not thinking about Taobao, but just thinking about finding something useful to him.

After watching something, the appraiser who followed Li Xiaochao shook his head, Li Xiaochao put it down with a smile, and turned around to find that Zhao Zheng was no longer by his side.

Turning around and asking the bodyguard, I realized that he was still outside.Looking outside, Ying Zheng was looking at the fish swimming in a glass tank with a soft expression.

"Why, Brother Zhao likes fish?" Li Xiaochao approached Ying Zheng and took a look at the fish, but found nothing different.It's just that the entire wall is replaced with a tempered glass water tank, and some small fish are raised in it. Except for this place, it looks a little different, but it is normal in other places.

Ying Zheng knew that Li Xiaochao was coming, and martial arts practitioners have keen senses, so he smiled and replied: "That's not true, I just remembered something."

Li Xiaochao thought to himself, the things he could recall with this expression must be some happy memories.

Ying Zheng took another look, then turned around and wanted to leave, after all, it was far from what he saw when he was with Mrs. Xiang that day.

When I turned around, there was a faint warning sign in my heart, but it disappeared quickly.At that moment, he could feel that someone was spying on him maliciously.

His face darkened, seeing Li Xiaochao talking to him with a smile without knowing it, Ying Zheng's heart turned, and he stretched out his hand to hold Li Xiaochao's shoulder next to him, preventing him from moving.

Just as he stretched out his hand to press Li Xiaochao's shoulder, something like a hidden weapon attacked him.

There is no hurry to pull Li Xiaochao away, Ying Zheng only felt that if something happened to Li Xiaochao, the matter of returning to the Qin Dynasty might change, so with a movement of his body, the Mozi sword on his right hand was handed out.

With a buzzing sound, a bullet followed the trend of the sword move and slid behind the two of them. The faint feeling of numbness in his hand made Ying Zheng understand the lethality of the gun again.

At that moment, although Ying Zheng reacted quickly, fortunately, Mozi sword did not have a scabbard, otherwise it might be too late.

But even so, the bullet just bounced off.

The man missed a single shot, his face became more ferocious, and he even lost the muffler he had snatched up. The sound of the bumping gun was even more dangerous in the eyes of the people on the street screaming in panic.

Mozi's swordsmanship is known all over the world for its fast chopping and fast cutting, and its defense as an attack. Although Xiang Shaolong didn't teach Ying Zheng completely at that time, it didn't prevent Ying Zheng from finding someone who knew this sword skill and making up for it. There are even some derivative swordsmanship, such as non-attack swordsmanship and monk Tong swordsmanship, etc. Yingzheng has dabbled in them.

Ying Zheng's sword eyebrows slanted, his expression was sharp, but he restrained his murderous aura sensibly, and only kept his sword dance airtight, protecting Li Xiaochao and himself who were already behind him.

And those bodyguards were not so lucky, each with their own injuries, the man finished firing the bullets in the gun, looked at Li Xiaochao who was still unscathed, knew that this opportunity had been lost, took advantage of the chaos to hide in the crowd, and changed his face. With a panicked expression on his face, he walked out with the flow of people.

Ying Zheng's face remained unchanged, and he glanced at the man, and the restrained murderous aura disappeared in a flash. Li Xiaochao quickly grabbed Ying Zheng's arm, and whispered in his ear: "Don't do anything here, I already remember his face. I'll settle this matter."

Li Xiaochao's smiling face also lost his smile. Feeling Ying Zheng's murderous intent, he immediately stopped him. Although he is capable, killing people in a busy city is still a matter of killing a person who has no bullets in his gun. .

The most important thing is that Ying Zheng's identity cannot withstand investigation, especially if he has a relationship with him, it is not difficult to find out that Ying Zheng's identity was forged with his help.

And if he read correctly, the person just now should be the one who caused chaos in the exhibition hall that day. It is said that he is mentally ill, Li Xiaochao chuckled inwardly, mental illness, can it be more serious?

At this moment, there was only a click, and a slight sound came from behind them.

Coax!

The glass water tank cracked, and a wall of water mixed with broken glass poured out from behind them. Before they could turn around completely, the water falling from the sky instantly threw them down.

Ying Zheng only felt that he raised his right hand, but there was nothing he could do. Ying Zheng, who was not good at water, only felt a kind of drowning dizziness hit his body, and a short-term fainting feeling appeared.
