"Wow, this is a ruby, this is a sapphire, and there's opal here......
Sisters, I'm almost shaking my eyes....."
When Yue Liduo followed Li Lu to the Gem City on Ceylon Island, she was indescribably excited, "With so many gems, how many gestures can you make??"
”"My favorite is opal, hey, this is one in a million golden green opal......"
Irina picked up a piece of opal and looked at it carefully, only to see that the cat's eye band of this opal is centered, vertical, the light band is narrow, the boundary is clear, and it shows the swimming light, the three cat's eyelines are clearly recognizable, and the proper high-grade opal.Several other women in the Li family also fell into a frenzy, they kept exchanging their opinions on these gemstones, and imagined how to wear these jewel-encrusted jewelry in the future, "This sapphire is good......
Sisters, Mei Niang didn't come with us, we can't forget her....."
Princess Changle looked at these gems that had just been mined from the ground with burning eyes, and said to her sisters.All the daughters even claimed to be, "Grandma, this sapphire is very good, my daughter-in-law heard that the sapphire symbolizes love, peace and nobility, if it is inlaid on your hairpin, it will definitely match very well......"
Princess Changle said to her mother-in-law with a very large sapphire.Just when Xiao Yan was about to respond, Li Lu walked in, "Grandma, don't you want to see how these gems are mined, I'll take you to see ......"
Li Lu looked at the girls and the eyes had not yet been withdrawn from the gems, so he said with some amusement, "Don't look at it, these are all our family, you can see it when you want..... come with me to see the gemstone production process....."
Li Lu they came to this gem city, in the later generations that is very famous, is the famous gem capital Ratnapura, it is located in the south-central part of the island of Ceylon, surrounded by small cities and mountains, from the terrain looks like a cornucopia, Li Lu conquered Tianzhu, then formed a navy, and then across the Strait of Ceylon, occupied the island of Ceylon, this gem city fell into the clutches of Li Lu.Because of the production of gems here, after the British army occupied this place, according to Li Lu's order, all this gem deposit was classified as the royal family, and the original name was erased, and it was replaced by the seemingly vulgar name of Gem City.Under the leadership of Li Lu, their family came to the mine, and Princess Changle and their children saw that the deep roadway led to the underground, and the miners were working hard to pick up gold in the underground sand and mine raw gemstones."
Daddy, who are these miners?"
Looking at the strict guards and the miners who were driven down the mine by the whip, Li Song asked his father curiously."
These people?
It's either Kunlun slaves, or prisoners of war ......"
Li Lu looked at it, and said to the babies, "Children, you have to remember one sentence, if you are backward, you will be beaten, these prisoners of war and Kunlun slaves, that is, their country and tribe are too backward to protect them, so they ended up like this......"
Li Lu taught the children whether to use Confucianism to teach, but to use examples to educate them, if you want to survive in the jungle society, you must make yourself strong, only when you are strong, can you protect yourself and develop.The reason why Li Lu taught them this way is because these children are different from ordinary families, and Li Lu must let his children know that between countries, nothing is more important than national interests, and the so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality are not as good as iron and blood.After giving the children a political lesson, Li Lu led his family to the place where the mine was washed, and they learned to be like a miner, holding a dustpan full of raw gemstones, and then in the big pool, it turned clockwise and counterclockwise, and gradually a pile of loess dissolved into the water, and the sand and gravel were sieved away, leaving small stones with higher density, which were gemstones.After visiting the gem mine, Princess Changle and the others went to the jewelry workshop in Gem City to make jewelry, while Li Lu went to inspect the British Fifth Marine Brigade stationed near Gem City.Just when Li Lu was sitting in an open-top carriage and waving to the people on both sides of the road frequently, he suddenly heard a few "whoosh" clicks, and several arrow clusters flew towards Li Lu from different directions!!
”Li Lu's guards are all well-trained and good hands.It's a pity that these arrows are all highly poisonous arrows, and Li Lu's two guards protected Li Lu with their own lives, if it weren't for these two guards, even if Li Lu had martial arts against the sky, he would never be able to escape the rain of arrows from different directions, "Songyun, hurry up and catch the assassin for Lao Tzu!!
”Li Lu is so angry."......Search for me" Li Songyi saw that there was an assassin, and he was not an assassin, he was angry, he immediately ordered Jinyiwei to conduct a search, he ordered the search, and began to check what went wrong in his security work, which gave the assassin a chance.After learning of Li Lu's assassination, Yao Juntao, the commander of the Fifth Marine Brigade, was so frightened that his soul flew away, "There is no accident on the king, right?"
If not, pass on my orders and cooperate with the Jinyi Guard to search for the assassins!!!
”Yao Juntao is one of the orphans that Li Lu picked up when he was in Chang'an, it can be said that without Li Lu, there would be no Yao Juntao today, so Yao Da Brigade Commander is loyal to Li Lu, some people once joked that Yao Juntao and other dozens of orphans are Li Lu's godsons and daughters, for this joke, they grew up orphans did not deny it, because in their eyes, without Li Lu, there would be no today, Yao Juntao and his younger brother Yao Junchao really treat Li Lu as a father.Now that he heard that Li Lu was assassinated, and that he was assassinated in his own defense area, how could Brigade Commander Yao not be nervous?
Soon the assassins were caught, but Li Lu and Li Songyi were surprised that the arrested assassins not only had people who had been opposing the Sinhalese opposition forces occupied by Li Lu, but also two Han Chinese, after interrogation, the soft-boned Sinhalese assassins couldn't hold on to the first move, it turned out that a month ago, several Han people found them, saying that they wanted to kill Li Lu with them, and they also brought the Sinhalese crossbows that could be hidden in their sleeves, and the reason why they were able to evade the security measures of the Jinyi Guard, This is because these assassins use highly concealed hand crossbows.Han people, crossbows, Li Lu's head is big when he hears it, does Li Xiaojiu dare to risk the world's condemnation and send someone to assassinate him?"
Songyun, give me a good interrogation of these two Han assassins and find out who sent them......"
"Oh!"
Li Songyi received an order to personally interrogate the two assassins, who knew that these two people were very stubborn, they would rather bite off their tongues than reveal the slightest information, which made Li Songyi very annoyed, on the one hand, he asked Yao Juntao to clear the remnants of the Sinhalese as soon as possible, and on the other hand, began to comprehensively investigate the Han people who came to Ceylon, especially those from the Tang Dynasty.As long as there is suspicion, no one can be let go.Finally, the hard work paid off, Li Songyi and Jinyiwei's hard work paid off, a jeweler named Tang Mingsong came into their sight, this Tang Mingsong was a jeweler on the surface, but he was very dishonest, he was colluded with the remnants of the Sinhalese in the southern mountains, and this goods also had some unclear relationship with some people in the British military and political department on Ceylon, according to Jinyiwei's investigation, this Tang Mingsong tried to steal the firearms of the British army many times, but he gave up because he could not enter the British barracks.The reason why he showed his feet was because Li Lu was assassinated, and Jin Yiwei and Yao Juntao, the top general of the British army on Ceylon Island, worked closely together, they thought that it must be in addition to the internal thieves, under strict investigation, several middle and lower-level officers and low-level officials were decisively taken down by Jinyiwei, and when they were interrogated, Tang Mingsong pulled out the radish and brought out the mud and was confessed.
