?315 Origin of the Tiger Talisman
Due to the muddle-headedness of the previous emperor, the Great Chang Nation experienced more than 10 years of unrest.
At that time, the Crown Prince, who was the current Emperor Minghua, had spent a lot of manpower and resources to appease the chaos.
At that time, it was rumored that there was a troop of Divine Armored Army. It was personally trained by a Great General more than 100 years ago. That army only listened to the Great General and the Emperor. Because of the Divine Armored Army, the Great Chang Nation could maintain a peaceful development for decades.
At that time, no one in the surrounding countries dared to offend them.
Later, the Emperor was increasingly tempted by fame and fortune and even wanted to become a dictator.
In order to prevent the abuse of military power, the Great General made a special Tiger Talisman and split it into two. One part was left in the general’s residence, and the other was handed over to the Emperor.
Only by combining two Tiger Talismans into one could the Divine Armored Army be mobilized.
If they mobilized this army, the chaos in the Great Chang Nation would quickly end.
It was a pity that they only found half of the Tiger Talisman in the palace after much effort. The other half was nowhere to be found.
As for the leader of the Divine Armored Army, he hid his tracks and only said that he would only be willing to join the army if they took out the complete Tiger Talisman.
Otherwise, even if the dynasty was destroyed, they would not appear.
Now, under the rule of Emperor Minghua, the Great Chang Nation was slowly getting rid of the negative effects of the previous unrest.
However, that did not mean that they did not need this Tiger Talisman.
Qin Huai had heard of the Tiger Talisman, but he was too young, and Duke Yong had never told him what the Tiger Talisman looked like.
Now that he saw this seemingly inconspicuous thing in front of him, his eyes darkened. No one knew what he was thinking.
Duke Yong placed the Tiger Talisman in front of him and looked at it again and again. Then, he picked it up and put it into a jade box.
Then, he placed the jade box in the study in front of Qin Huai. It was an inconspicuous dark room.
“Grandfather, aren’t we going to hand it over to the Imperial Family?” Qin Huai asked.
Hiding a Tiger Talisman was a serious crime.
Even if the Duke Yong Manor had the protection of the Empress, they shouldn’t be so high-profile, right?
Duke Yong said, “This thing can be given to anyone, but it can’t be given to the Imperial Family.”
If the Imperial Family had this Tiger Talisman, they would have everything. At that time, Emperor Minghua would lose his conscience and the people would be plunged into misery and suffering.
That would be the real loss.
Qin Huai also wanted to ask, since Grandfather doesn’t intend to hand it over to the Imperial Family, why did he still let him see it?
Did he think that he was too young to understand the use of this Tiger Talisman, or did it have other uses?
Qin Huai could not be blamed for thinking too much. He had been living under someone else’s roof since he was young and grew up in the Duke Yong Manor. Everyone around him, including the servants, would say that he was an illegitimate child.
Even if Duke Yong brought him to the battlefield, everyone would only laugh at him behind his back and say that he had been used as a pawn.
As for his mother, the servants called her Madam.
However, Qin Huai could not find out which family she was from.
Perhaps it was not that he could not find out, but that someone did not want him to find out.
He was still young, and he had only managed to subdue the Crimson Guards. There were still some who were under her command. Apart from Chi Jia, Chi Bing, Chi Tu, Chi She, and the others, the rest were not loyal to him.
Qin Huai thought to himself. From his conversation with his mother, he was lowering his status to marry a peasant girl.
However, Qin Huai felt that even if Ah Yu’s life was miserable and bumpy and she was not liked by her biological father, she knew who her parents were.
Her life was much better than an illegitimate son like him.
Just as he was thinking, Duke Yong had left at some point. Chi Jia pushed open the door and entered, showing the remaining things to Qin Huai.
It was the IOU Old Madam Wang had given him.
One thousand taels of gold.
Qin Huai smiled and held the IOU in his palm. He said in a low voice, “Let me know when Madam comes.”
