Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Thinking of this, Andonaji's heart skipped a beat, and he yelled at Buqu beside him: "Kill all the Tubo people!"

Of course, all he chased and killed were Tibetans outside the city.

As for the inside of the city, seeing that no one was resisting, the soldiers of the anti-Songtsan Gampo coalition forces all stayed outside the city, not because they didn't want to enter the city, but because they didn't dare.

After all, it's harvest time.

Songbangbao City already belonged to Chen Ying, and they all longed for Chen Ying to save some soup for them when they ate meat.

The palace of Songtsan Gampo is very luxurious and resplendent.

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.

Under the leadership of the generals of the Tang army, Chen Ying and Ma Zhou walked in first.

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

He saw a white jade bowl on the table, although it was not suet jade, it was also Kunlun white jade.

In fact, Kunlun jade and Hetian jade are in the same vein, and they are collectively called Hetian jade in later generations.

Such a big piece of white jade made into a bowl?It must be too extravagant!

Ma Zhou also saw this jade bowl, gasped, 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 stepped forward and looked, except for the one jade bowl on the table, there were six white jade bowls of the same size, all of which were exactly the same in color, luster, and even the texture of the carvings.Chen Ying would not be surprised if such an identical jade bowl could be produced by machinery in later generations, but it would be even rarer if it was done entirely by hand.

Just 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 hall, about three feet three inches long, which is too short for a real sword. But you must know that this is Hetian Baiyu, a sword polished from a whole piece of Hetian Baiyu!

With a gold handle and a scabbard inlaid with precious stones, Chen Ying was really speechless.

With the manufacturing methods of this era, whether it is a jade bowl or a jade sword, there is no cutting technology of later generations, and it can only be manually polished bit by bit, especially the jade bowl. The volume of the bowl center is all ground away. Looking at the volume of these six bowls, it is almost five or six kilograms, and about six or seven kilograms of Hetian Baiyu was wasted.

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

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

When Ma Zhou counted the seizures, he crossed out the six Hetian white jade bowls and the two white jade swords.

Chen Ying immediately ordered: "Have someone search the palace, and if you find all this kind of nephrite, bring them to me."

"Yes, I'll let someone search it right now." Guo Luo didn't ask anything, turned around and called the guards to search the entire palace.

Chen Ying stood still, feeling very excited. It is best to search for more gold and silver treasures, the more the better, even if it comes to a ton or two tons, no matter how much, Chen Ying will not dislike it!

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

Guo Luo came out holding a small box, and he stepped forward and respectfully said, "My lord, there are good things!"

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

Guo Luo hurriedly handed over the small box in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is a jewelry box that I 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 crow blues are sapphires.

Chen Ying seldom pays attention to gemstones, and he will not be able to afford them in later generations.However, he knows that the natural resources of rubies and sapphires are very rich in Myanmar, and one thing is that the rubies and sapphires in Myanmar are a little more expensive than other places.

Take sapphire as an example. When it comes to sapphire, people’s first reaction is Sri Lanka, but in fact, sapphires of the same color, color, shape, and carat are much cheaper in Sri Lanka than in Myanmar.Ruby is needless to say.

Chen Yinglai became interested, stretched out his hand to take it, and said, "Let me take a look."

Without explaining anything, he opened the jewelry box.Seven or eight gold and silver products appeared inside, and without exception, these gold and silver products were all inlaid with various precious stones.

The first thing that caught the eye was a gold ring. As for the gold weighing about one or two taels, it was directly ignored by Chen Ying.He picked up the ring, and said in surprise with some doubts: "It's actually a glass kind of emperor green ring noodles?"

Ma Zhou didn't understand these things either, so he asked suspiciously, "Isn't this a crystal?"

"Hehe, it's a bit troublesome to explain. If you're interested, I'll teach you later." Chen Ying said casually.

The quality of the ring surface is very fine, the crystal particles are dense, and the naked eye can see the fluorescence, the texture is fine and pure and flawless, and the color is pure, bright, rich and uniform, which is very in line with the characteristics of the imperial green glass.

However, it is still not certain, Chen Ying continued to observe, the surface of the ring has no graininess or brittleness when observed with the naked eye. Generally speaking, the mineral crystals of glass jadeite are very fine and uniform in size, which is why it is formed like this, and the surface of the ring is highly transparent. The glass luster gives people the overall feeling that it is as clear and transparent as glass, and the type of glass can be determined without a doubt.

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

The tone of the face is rich, rare, noble and elegant, like the essence of the color. Its color is thick and pleasant, without any color cast in the rich green. The green is positive, the green is hot, and the green is thick but still beautiful It's really imperial green.

It was the first time for Chen Ying to see the imperial green jadeite of the glass variety for the first time. He couldn't help being excited, and couldn't help but put this gold ring on his finger, and said with a smile, "Hey, don't say it, it's just right!"

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

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

"Huh, pigeon's blood ruby?" Chen Ying's eyes lit up. He was attracted by the glass emperor green ring just now, but he didn't notice that there was another pigeon's blood ruby. He picked up the hairpin and pointed it at the light.

This ruby ​​is in the shape of a drop of water and is inlaid on the hairpin. According to preliminary judgments, its color is as rich as pigeon blood. It is almost impossible to judge to know that it is indeed a pigeon blood ruby.

Chen Ying was overjoyed at this moment, with just the precious stones and jade looted from the royal palace, Chen Ying earned back the military expenses of sending troops to Tubo.

There are not only a large number of gemstones in the Tubo royal palace, but also a great variety of gemstones, ranging from nephrite Hetian white jade, jasper, and even black jade, to various gemstones.

What emerald, what opal, everything.

Chen Ying shouted wildly in his heart: "I got rich, I really got rich!"

Generally speaking, rubies need more or less heat treatment and cutting to achieve the ideal state, but the value of burning will be much cheaper than that of unfired. The above can be collected, and the heat-treated ruby ​​generally has a higher collection value when it is more than three carats.

Obviously, the ruby ​​on the hairpin in front of me is unfired, and it may be naturally formed in the shape of water droplets.

Pigeon's blood red, natural water drop shape, this ruby ​​is priceless, Chen Ying has reason to believe that once these jewelry and gemstones are transported to Chang'an, they will be enough to drive the noble ladies in Chang'an and even the whole world crazy.

Ma Zhou suddenly said: "My lord, what do you think of this string of crow blue necklaces?"

"Hand, grass" Chen Ying said dumbfounded: "Is it 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 bright, and the blue makes people feel thrilling.

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

Just after packing up the jewelry, about sixteen or seven bulky large boxes were carried into the hall by soldiers of the Tang army with great difficulty.

Chen Ying said suspiciously: "This is..."
