"Okay, it's fair." Shao Bing didn't expect Luo Tian to be so sinister, so he gritted his teeth and said, "My left hand, your right hand, I call one, two, three, everyone puts it in at the same time, no cheating."
"Whoever cheats is the son." Luo Tian said with a smile.
The two of them prepared their hands, and Shao Bing said: "One, two, three..."
Neither of them was lying. They put their hands in at the same time. After some groping, they touched something hard at the same time. They exchanged looks and took the thing out at the same time. Shao Bing knew what was inside.
It was not something he could understand. He let go of his hand and turned on the flashlight for Luo Tian. The thing was heavy in his hand, and Luo Tian saw it clearly with the light of the flashlight: "Is this the jade seal?"
"The Jade Seal of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" Luo Tian was also confused: "Some people have always raised suspicions that when the Qing army captured Tianjing, they looted and massacred the city and set fire to the Tianwang Mansion. Therefore, it is normal for the Jade Seal of the Heavenly King to be destroyed in the war.
Yes, but the doubters always lack strong evidence."
"Is this possible?" Shao Bing looked at the jade seal.
"It is entirely possible that the box in Master Jiu's hand is the key to the box containing the jade seal. It is very likely that the real jade seal has been hidden here by General Shi." Luo Tian said, "The real jade seal should be eight.
This is recorded in the relevant information, which is consistent. Another point is that Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, once issued an edict to rename the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the Kingdom of God, and officially decreed that the seals should be changed in accordance with the edict. This jade seal does have
It is the Kingdom of God, not the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and this is consistent.”
Luo Tian looked at it carefully again: "The golden seal and imperial seal of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. On the border of the seal, the dragons in the pattern are head down and tail upward. The dragon shape on this jade seal is also head down and tail upward.
This point is consistent again, and now comes the last two points, that is, the word "天", which is strictly in accordance with the taboo regulations in the edict of the king of heaven. The horizontal strokes on the top are longer than the ones on the bottom, so the word "天" on the top is also consistent."
"What's the last point?" Shao Bing asked him.
"At that time, the Taiping Army discovered during the fierce battle with the Qing army that the seal of the jade seal was very easy to be forged by the enemy. Therefore, whether it was an edict stamped with the seal of the Heavenly King or an order from other kings, while using the seal,
They will add another secret code and emphasize that the person involved must write it in his own hand. Li Xiucheng mentioned this in his self-report "Ten Points for Recruitment and Surrender": "I asked the court to issue an edict to me and escort me with the document.
In the past, there was no need to seal a letter when there was a document. Now when the person who uses the seal comes to my camp, the generals will not believe it. He is suspicious and the court has created a secret to seduce him. If I use the document to seal in the heaven, there is no secret number written by me.
Will not follow.'"
"So it can be seen from this, from Li Xiucheng, that within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, especially in the army, for documents, the 'personal secret number' is more important than the seal used on the document. If we can find it on this jade seal
Secret note, then the dust will settle."
"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you look for it quickly?" Shao Bing was also excited.
Luo Tian rolled his eyes: "I'm looking for it."
Luo Tian turned the jade seal over and over. There was nothing special at the bottom, but it was on the dragon's head. Yes, it was on the dragon's eye: "Shao Bing, help me shine the light on this dragon's head."
"Okay." Shao Bing shined the light there. Under the light and shadow, a shadow suddenly appeared in Long's eyes, which was the word "Hong"!
"Found it, it seems we have completed our mission." Luo Tian said.
"You are the one who completed the task. I didn't take anyone else's money." After Shao Bing finished speaking, he felt embarrassed again: "I didn't say this just to share the money."
Luo Tian laughed loudly: "I know..."
Before the joyful atmosphere of the two of them had passed, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps outside. The two of them quickly turned off the flashlight and found a secret corner to hide. The old man suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and walked around the entrance of the cave.
, and left muttering to themselves. The two of them breathed a big sigh of relief. Without being discovered, they hurriedly ran out of the cave and into the nearby woods. The air was very cold in the middle of the night, and it was here again.
In the mountains, the temperature was even lower than outside. The two looked at each other but did not dare to light a fire. They actually had a bold idea. They left the mountains from here in the middle of the night. They kept walking on the road and their bodies became much warmer.
When it was dawn, the two of them had already arrived at the nearest town, found a car that took off early in the morning, and when they arrived in the city, they quickly found a hotel and collapsed.
The two slept until noon. When they got up again, they were a little happy when they saw the dark circles under each other's eyes. Shao Bing felt that he had never been so relaxed, as if he had taken a big vacation in his long life. This happy moment
The source was Luo Tian, but he didn't expect that he always thought that the person who would make him find this feeling was a woman. He had never been in love, and his life had been turned upside down. He had no regrets about getting to where he is today, he just felt that
It's a pity that everything you do with Luo Tian now is like going back to your school days, doing something enjoyable with your best friend, and then enjoying the fruits of victory. This feeling is wonderful.
"Invite me to dinner." Shao Bing said, "Such opportunities are really rare."
"If I remember correctly, this is the first time we have sat down to eat together."
The two of them didn't go far and were in the restaurant of the hotel. It has to be said that Sichuan is the capital of gourmet food. Every restaurant serves delicious food. It could also be that the two of them were tired after a long night's work and had a good appetite. At first, the two of them
Neither of them spoke, they just ate. After their stomachs were full, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing again.
"You may not know that since that car accident, I have never smiled like I do today." Shao Bing's face froze. That car accident was the one that caused Shao Xiaoya to lose her mind. It happened in the United States and is still the scene today.
The nightmare of the brothers and sisters. The reason why Shao Bing joined the T organization was not to make any money or enjoy any privileges, but to find the murderer of his parents. Because the car accident did not occur naturally, but
There was a pair of invisible hands that sent the parents into the abyss of death.
"Xiaoxiao is very good." Luo Tian said: "Sometimes people have to learn to let go and not bury everything in their hearts. You have a good team."
"But I can never treat them as friends." Shao Bing said: "This is our way of survival. Once we become friends, we may form bonds, which is not conducive to our mission, so the best way is not to
have friends."
"Is it allowed to have one thousands of miles away?" Luo Tian asked.
"Yes, today." Luo Tian was a little surprised by Shao Bing's words. He picked up the teacup and said, "I'll have a drink with you, replacing the wine with tea. Today, we are friends."
This sounds a little awkward, but Luo Tian doesn't mind. He knows the special nature of Shao Bing's profession: "Okay, let's do it."
Shao Bing finished the drink and suddenly sighed: "I am getting closer to the truth. Maybe when I end this, I can come over and continue to be friends with you."
"Are you almost finding the real murderer?" Luo Tianda was surprised.
"It's getting closer, getting closer, I already feel this way." Shao Bing glanced at Luo Tian: "Thank you for giving me an extraordinary experience these days. It turns out that life can be like this."
It’s wonderful but there’s no need to be burdened. I can’t go back with you tomorrow. I have to go back to the United States immediately. I hope everything goes well for you on the island. There is one thing I want to remind you. Never change others, no matter what you think is reasonable.
It’s unreasonable, otherwise, you will bear too much.”
Luo Tian understood the implication. He nodded: "I will not get involved in the island's affairs. After sending the jade seal, I will leave immediately and will not have anything to do with it again."
