Chapter 1431

The generals nodded one after another, returning to Great Qin to recuperate and wait for new instructions.

This was the desire of every Qin person; after all, they had been away for quite some time.

Many of them had wives, children, and family in Great Qin.

They also wanted to go home and take a look.

Seeing that it was still early and Brother Zheng was not urging him to return.

Ying Ying Zi Ye imparted some new knowledge to Han Xin and the others.

It was all about some history of the Maurya Empire and guesses about the Maurya Empire's strength.

Until an hour later.

Ying Ying Zi Ye saw that the matters had been discussed enough.

It was time to rest, and then wait for the blood collection to be completed before returning.

"Do you have any other matters?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the generals.

They had been listening to him speak, and he had said about enough.

"Your Highness, you just mentioned a kind of ore that sparkles and is an incredibly hard stone."

"It is beautiful and also has some value; what is it called... diamond?"

"Is it also a type of gemstone?"

"Is it this thing?"

Li Xin took out a stone that looked like crystal from his sleeve.

This thing was the size of a little finger, had edges and corners, and sparkled under the light.

At first glance, it was very beautiful, just like an exquisite piece of art.

"Eh... is this a diamond?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye reached out to take it and examined it in his hand.

Afterwards, he confirmed that it was indeed a diamond.

He had just imparted knowledge in this area to everyone.

Who knew that the next moment, Li Xin would take out a diamond.

"Correct, this is a diamond, also the king of gemstones."

"Hard, transparent, with edges and corners, and it sparkles."

"Where did you get this?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at Li Xin curiously.

The other generals also looked over.

They were also curious about where Li Xin got the diamond.

After all, they had not discovered this thing.

Unexpectedly, General Li had beaten them to it.

"So this is a diamond?"

Li Xin did not expect this to be a diamond.

He had almost thrown it away.

This was something that fell off an enemy leader when he was chasing him.

He originally thought it was just an ordinary glowing pebble.

It looked quite exquisite and small, and it didn't take up space to carry.

Therefore, he carried it with him, wanting to take it back for his little daughter at home.

After all, women have an innate love for things that sparkle.

Otherwise, he would have thrown it away long ago; as a big man, he didn't like this thing.

However, the Prince had mentioned this ore—diamond—when he was imparting knowledge to them earlier.

That was why he took it out to let the Prince identify if it was a diamond.

He also didn't know how valuable the Prince said it was.

"Your Highness, this was obtained by this general from an enemy leader."

Li Xin could not help but think of the dark-skinned enemy and immediately felt a bit uncomfortable.

It was not just him who had this discomfort.

All the Great Qin soldiers felt uncomfortable when they first saw the people of the Maurya Empire.

Because the people of the Maurya Empire were different from them; their skin was dark all over.

Compared to them, they felt the people of the Maurya Empire were too dark.

They were simply not of the same race.

Originally, they thought everyone was like them.

After arriving at the Maurya Empire, they discovered that it was not like that.

The people here were very strange; the men were very dark, as if they had been soaked in mud all year round.

But some of the women were very fair, and there were also many dark-skinned women.

This made them unable to understand what kind of situation this was.

Li Xin did not expect at the time that such a dark person would have a sparkling diamond on him.

"If you encounter these diamonds in the future, bring them back."

"Nobles like them; they can bring benefits to the empire."

"And things like gold, if you encounter them, take them all."

"It's rare to come here once."

Ying Ying Zi Ye did not expect to encounter a diamond just after arriving here.

This thing is just for nobles to play with; commoners probably couldn't afford to play with it.

And this thing called diamond, besides being good-looking and hard.

It seems to have no great use in this era.

The generals nodded one after another; since this kind of diamond is useful.

If they encounter it, they certainly cannot discard it.

Two hours later.

The deputy general returned to the hall.

"Your Highness, this general has finished collecting the soldiers' blood."

"This map is a divine object!!!"

The deputy general presented the map.

The shock in the deputy general's eyes had not yet faded.

Because hundreds of thousands of drops of blood had dripped onto the map.

But the map was never stained with blood.

This made many people unable to understand why.

This map was too miraculous.

Is there a limit to absorbing blood?

But this map did not have one; it was as if it accepted everything.

Hundreds of thousands of drops of blood could fill several barrels, right?

But dripping onto the map, it simply did not stain the map red.

The soldiers who saw the map were bewildered, not knowing what kind of divine object this map was.

It could actually accommodate so much blood, and the map was still not stained red.

If they said this map was not a divine object, they would not believe it.

"So fast?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye was a bit surprised.

It had only been about three hours.

The blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers had been collected?

The other generals were also a bit surprised; this was faster than they had imagined.
