Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 535 - 350: Explosive Intelligence!

Qi Yun returned to Golden Collar Villa already past midnight, the lights in the living room were still on, and Zhao Qing was still waiting for him to come back.

As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Qing got up from the sofa to greet him, yawning as she asked, "Why are you back so late today, have you eaten?"

"Yes, I’ve eaten. Got held up by some work." Qi Yun changed into slippers, smiling happily, "Why aren’t you asleep yet?"

"I can’t sleep when you’re not back." Zhao Qing pretended to complain, leaning close to him and sniffing, "Did you drink?"

"Yes, I entertained two friends tonight."

Qi Yun gently patted her back, "I’m fine, you should go rest, I’ll take a shower."

Zhao Qing did not move, instead, she turned around and walked to the kitchen, "You go wash up, I’ll make you some honey water, remember to drink it later."

"Okay." Qi Yun nodded with a smile and walked upstairs.

After a quick shower, he came to the balcony and lit a cigarette, his mind unconsciously recalling his earlier conversation with Old Hou.

The attitude of the other party... made him feel really uncomfortable.

Back when Old He and the others were targeting him, Old Hou turned a blind eye, and now he’s asking him to consider the bigger picture and use emotional blackmail; such behavior was somewhat shameless.

So although he always outwardly agreed, until he left that office, he didn’t make any substantial promises.

Although this might make Old Hou harbor discontent towards him, Qi Yun did not care much, given his current position, as long as he doesn’t slip up, few can do anything to him. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

This was evident from Old He not taking any actions recently.

"Phew~"

Qi Yun exhaled a long smoke ring, shook his head, pulled back his thoughts and started receiving today’s intelligence information.

[Current Intelligence Points: 9]

[Today’s Intelligence 1 (Red): The day before yesterday, a relic enthusiast at an auction in Chang’an was surprised to find the artifact he donated last month to the J Province Museum appeared at the auction;

Confused, he hurried back to Bird City the next morning, only to find an identical one still on display at the museum; although he reported this to the museum manager, he did not receive a clear answer]

"Hiss~ Looks like this museum’s business is really extensive..."

[Today’s Intelligence 2 (Green): In Tobruk Town, the health center in Yinmaili Village is dilapidated, and the village head plans to go to town tomorrow to find a mason for renovation;

A small wooden box buried under the old apricot tree in the health center courtyard contains ten wax-sealed "Qu Huan Zhang Hundred Treasure Pills", all produced in 1916, the first batch of Qu Huan Zhang Hundred Treasure Pills to hit the market]

Qu Huan Zhang Hundred Treasure Pill? What’s that?

Qi Yun frowned, immediately took out his phone to search online.

After reading, his eyes widened, he didn’t even notice the cigarette burning to the filter tip.

Turns out this Qu Huan Zhang Hundred Treasure Pill was an early name, its current name is Qu Huan Zhang Baiyao, also known as Yunnan Baiyao.

Indeed, it’s the Yunnan Baiyao commonly used in Yunnan toothpaste.

Its main efficacy is treating gunshot wounds, inflammation, and stopping bleeding.

This medicine contains a famous core ingredient called Bao Xian Zi, also known as "Life-saving Pill" by people of that time!

The reason for such a name is because it truly can save lives.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Yunnan Army was ordered to support Shandong, participating in the fierce Battle of Taierzhuang.

At that time, Qu Huan Zhang, to support the soldiers, donated 30,000 bottles of Yunnan Baiyao for free, which was a huge amount of money back then.

With its miraculous efficacy, it saved countless critically wounded soldiers on the battlefield, thus becoming known as "Life-saving Pill".

This was recognized by instructors and generals at the time.

However, as time went on, the production volume of this medicine increased significantly, and changes occurred in some key herbal ingredients, making the pills turn white in color, hence many called it Yunnan Baiyao.

The first batch of Qu Huan Zhang Hundred Treasure Pills from 1916 must represent the peak of efficacy, on par with the Republic-era Angong Niu Huang Pill Qi Yun holds.

If massive hemorrhage occurs, taking one can definitely save a life.

"The longer the night, the more dreams, so better find time to dig it up quickly..." Qi Yun put away the phone, pondering silently.

[Today’s Intelligence 3 (Green): Half an hour ago, an earthquake occurred in Kyoto, Japan. Your estate in Chiba Prefecture (bought from Fukui Sakaeda’s ancestral home) suddenly collapsed, revealing a hidden compartment under the floor;

The compartment contains two long wooden boxes with two swords inside, one sword’s hilt and blade engraved with nine real dragons, the scabbard inlaid with rubies and diamonds;

The other sword is bronze, engraved with the words "Tai’e"]

Tai’e!?

When Qi Yun saw these two words, his whole body felt as if struck by lightning, as the name was too familiar.

Is it the Tai’e Sword of the ancient top ten famous swords?

Wasn’t it said to be buried in the Emperor’s Mausoleum? How did it end up in Japan?

What is the other one with nine dragons engraved on it?

Filled with doubt, Qi Yun searched for information online.

There are two versions of the top ten famous swords, the first recorded in "Yuejue Book", "Wu Yue Chun Qiu", etc., respectively Xuanyuan, Zhan Lu, Chi Xiao, Tai’e, Longyuan, Ganjiang, Moye, Yuchang, Chun Jun, Cheng Ying.

It’s said these divine swords were masterpieces of sword-making master Ou Yezi. He lived during the late Spring and Autumn period, a time when states of Eastern Zhou were constantly at war, and the state of Yue was equally turbulent.

Ou Yezi pursued the utmost in sword-making techniques and extraordinary talent, gathering the sword energy of heaven and earth. When the three factors of time, place, and people unified, he forged a series of peerless famous swords.

However, some of the famous swords in this version have been proven to exist.

While some have no substantive evidence, like Zhan Lu, Gan Jiang, Moye, etc.

The second version is the real top ten famous swords, documented in archaeological or written records as artifacts.

The swords are Wu Wang Guang Sword, Yan Wang Zhi Sword, Mo Yang Sword, Nine Dragon Treasure Sword, Wan Feng Sword, Tai’e Sword, Long Yuan Sword, Chi Xiao Sword, Cheng Ying Sword, and Xuanyuan Sword.

In this version, Qi Yun found the sword matching the intelligence: the sword with nine real dragons carved on the blade, isn’t this the Nine Dragon Treasure Sword?

This sword was the imperial treasure sword of Emperor Qianlong, and after his death, it was buried with him in Yu Mausoleum.

Later it was looted during Sun Dianying’s tomb raid...

Then passed through many hands, its whereabouts remained unknown.

Unexpectedly, it now appears in the ancestral home of Japan’s Fukui Sakaeda family?
