Chapter 172: Love
Zhao Zhu and He Lianyu were chatting about treasures.
Yu Tianyi's matter has been resolved, and the notes to Emperor Taijia have also been written and reported, there is no need for him to continue to stay in Jingzhao Mansion, next, it is time to pay attention to the treasure map.
The matter of the treasure is extraordinary, and Emperor Taijia also asked him to pay more attention to it before, and it would be better if he could find out. So Zhao Zhu had already cast a bigger net and sent countless people to explore all parts of the country.
Unfortunately, there was little response.
It turned out that not many people knew about this matter, and it was only because he was involved all the way that he felt that the formation was big.
However, according to various rumors and clues, it is speculated that this treasure is probably really related to the princess of Nanzhao.
When the princess left the palace, Xu Zhen inadvertently brought out the treasure of the town, and he didn't check it at the time, and it was too late to learn. There is nowhere to return to the country's ruin, and she knows that the meaning of the national teacher's dying has been revealed, so she carefully protects the treasure in her hand and does not dare to be careless for a moment. Even when her life was about to end, she still tried her best to build several fake tombs to divert her sight and hide the real treasure secretly, and in order to avoid the loss of the treasure, she divided the map into several parts and scattered, and left a bloodline verification method at the entrance of the treasure.
Xianlian is now, the beginning of the prosperous era. Zhao Shu thought that the big head in the real treasure must be this fairy lotus. But no one in power does not want good signs, especially if this thing is conclusive and has something to be found. Foreigners will be bold enough to come and intervene, and they should want this thing too.
And Helian Yu made it clear that what he wanted was not Xianlian, and the two worked together so harmoniously.
However, after all the information, I still don't know how many copies of the map there are and where they are. But recently, in the limelight on the rivers and lakes, especially in the news of the active activities of foreigners, a place is mentioned - Xijing.
Xijing is going to hold a treasure appreciation conference recently, but the organizer is not an official or a businessman, but a treasure building on the rivers and lakes that specializes in selling stolen goods.
Zhao Shu felt that this was an excellent opportunity, if he was lucky, he would get the treasure map news, and even if he couldn't get it, he would be able to take this opportunity to clean up those foreigners.
There are rats jumping on his own ground, no matter how he thinks about it, he has to let these rats know that if they dare to stretch out their claws, they must be ready to die.
So he brought up the matter and discussed it with Helian Yu.
Helian Yu has no opinion, "The treasure hunt is unpredictable, it will definitely last a long time, as long as there are some clues possible, you can go to touch it." β
It's just that there will be all kinds of dangerous people in the treasure appreciation conference of the underworld business on the rivers and lakes, Zhao Zhu, as the king of Ping who has won countless battles, is naturally not afraid, but it is good to cooperate more, so he discussed various feasible plans with Helian Yu.
After chatting for a while, the two sides were no longer as excited as when they listened to the confession, and the weather didn't seem to be so hot, so they gathered and went back to the inn.
On the way back, Zhao Zhu proposed to leave.
Shen Wansha was a little unwilling, the Chef King Race will start tomorrow, and Wang Sai will follow!
Lu Li was noncommittal, "It's not right away if you want to leave, Lord Fu Yin hasn't gone there yet...... Why don't you wait a bit? β
Jingzhao is not very far from Xijing, and the treasure appreciation conference will not start for a while, so it is not particularly urgent. Zhao Zhu and He Lianyu glanced at each other and did not mention it for the time being.
Mao San confessed, and was convicted in court, and Lord Yin finally made time. Bronzing please stick down to the inn, Fu Yin Yandao held a banquet in his own home, and invited Lu Li and Shen Wansha and his party, and his attitude was quite sincere.
Lu Li and the others were unwilling, prepared gifts early, carefully cleaned up that day, and went to the banquet refreshingly.
Jingzhao Mansion Yin's surname is Chi, a famous show, and he is an elegant literati who is not confused by his old age. He has a long body, a beard under his chin, and a smile on his face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze and quite kind.
He first sincerely expressed his gratitude to Lu Li and Shen Wansha. said that the previous case of Yu Fu Zhenyue's death, this case of the severed corpse series, without their help, I am afraid it would not have been so smooth. After that, the group was warmly entertained, and a little wine was played during the banquet, the atmosphere was light and not rigid, and it would not make people feel bored and boring.
It wasn't until the banquet was over, that the people in the house came to invite him, and Chi Xiu gave up his annoyance and left the table temporarily. However, when he left the table, he asked his sons to entertain a few guests, and promised that he would return later.
Because Shen Wansha came from the Shen family in Shangjing, his identity was not deliberately concealed after the Zhenyue case, and Chi Xiu also took very good care of him, Shen Wansha dragged Helian Yu, and was personally taken by the eldest son of Fu Yin, and had a good time in the garden.
At this banquet, Yu Zhi also brought Wang Liang here, and he kept dragging Lu Li to discuss the knowledge of post-mortem. Lu Li is also quite interested in ancient skills that he doesn't know much about, and it is naturally very pleasant to communicate with him.
Zhao Zhu, who was temporarily forgotten, had to find something to do on his own.
After all, Yu Zhi was old and lacked energy, and after chatting for a while, he felt that there were a lot of things that needed to be sorted out and considered, so he immediately stopped the topic, pulled Wang Liang to go elsewhere, and the two masters and apprentices studied and discussed each other in detail.
There was no one outside, Lu Li was going to find Zhao Zhu or Shen Wansha, he didn't want to limp around, and met Chi Xiu, who had returned after the matter was dealt with. Seeing that the timing was right, Chi Xiu pulled him aside to sit down and talked about pushing the case.
He didn't pay much attention to the autopsy, because he specialized in the art industry, and this matter was a trick. can push the case, but it is the official, and even the government who sometimes needs to deal with the crime needs to know the knowledge.
Sitting in the position of Fu Yin, none of them are mediocre people, Chi Xiu is full of poetry and books, and he thinks that he has something in his belly, but he still feels very novel about Lu Li's method of pushing the case, he has never seen it, how can he let it go if he has the opportunity?
Lu Li didn't hide his secrets, seriously answered Chi Xiu's questions, and gave a reasonable reminder.
Chi Xiu's eyes lit up, and he even forgot about Fu Yin's reserve, and excitedly held Lu Li's hand, and after some talking, he felt that he had found a New Year's friend!
Sometimes, interpersonal communication is so incredible, obviously the first time we meet, when we meet, they are unfamiliar and unfamiliar, and after chatting, we find that there are many common topics, and we quickly become friends. Lu Li also thinks it is very wonderful, and he is not the same as the people here, he has obvious awe and fear of the superiors, as a civilian, when he sees a four-grade master, he is not inferior, not cowardly, generous, and eloquent.
How could Chi Xiu not appreciate it!
The topic of the two people quickly unfolded, from the case to the broader people's livelihood, and the world is diverse. Chi Xiu looked at Lu Li and was satisfied, and finally sighed, "It would be nice if I had a daughter." β
Lu Li didn't understand, "Huh? β
"If you have a daughter, you can marry you," Chi Xiu was very sad, "It's a pity that Madame even gave birth to four sons for me, and I didn't have a daughter!" β
"There are many sons and many blessings, and there are successors to adults, so they should be comforted," Lu Li's face was slightly red, but he still remained calm, "My lord is middle-aged, and the dragon is fierce, with a little effort, it is not necessary that Mrs. Xu will have good news." β
Chi Xiu almost sprayed a sip of tea, put down the teacup and laughed, "You, you, you seem to be strict and steady, but in fact, you are still a curious teenager!" But dare to make such a joke with this official-" Ji Xiu first grimaced, and then grinned, "What a guts!" Hahahaha! β
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Lu Li's eyebrows trembled, and he suddenly remembered something, but he was a little hesitant.
Chi Xiu's officialdom has been up and down for many years, and he is the best at observing words and feelings, and he tried his best to change Lu Li's expression very shortly, but he still saw it, "If you have something, you and I don't need to hide it." β
Lu Li's hands were subconsciously clasped together, "It's not a big deal." Whenever I encounter a case, I sincerely hope to conduct an autopsy in person to help the government solve the case, but sometimes, the sign distributed by the small county ...... Some people don't trust it very much. If you don't mind, you can make a certificate for me? β
He looked at Chi Xiu, his voice was a little anxious, "You don't have to bother too much, as long as you approve my autopsy form in the Zhenyue case and the decapitation case." β
"It's worth your embarrassment?" Chi Xiu smiled, "I'll get you a copy right away and stamp my private seal!" After speaking, he sighed again, "I just said that you are bold, but now you are humble again." You are good enough to stand on the top of the mountain and laugh at others, you should be confident and flamboyant, why do you need to be so careful? Young people, don't lose your spirit. β
Lu Li was taught and bowed.
The two talked for a long time, until they came to find them. Everyone gathered for a while before they said goodbye and left.
Before Lu Li and the others left, Chi Xiu asked someone to bring a small box and handed it to him. Lu Li was puzzled, "What is this?" β
"Silver." Chi Xiu looked at Lu Li with a smile, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the young people were good, and the talents were good, and it was a pity not to have a daughter, "In the case of the severed head, the three prefectures set up a silver reward, and those who have the ability can get it." In this case, you have the greatest credit, so you will be rewarded with silver. β
Lu Li opened the wooden box and saw that the golden light inside was clear, and there were neat rows of gold!
This is really ...... No way to refuse! Lu Li's eyes lit up subconsciously, and he reached out to caress it, "...... Wouldn't it be too good? Guarding the head of their ......"
"When it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, everyone has a share. A few of you, all here. "Chi Xiu brushed his beard, the officialdom is a mixed person, what he wants is merit, gold and silver are trivial matters, the subordinates don't mind this, Wei Zhutou didn't even take it, and pushed it all over.
Lu Li was relieved now, immediately put away the wooden box, and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you, sir." β
Shen Wansha has always liked gold, and he also smiled and squinted, and frantically embarrassed Lu Li. Lu Li's face remained unchanged, and he hugged the box and prepared to go back to the inn.
Zhao Shu is very dissatisfied, just such a little gold nugget is also worth being happy, there are a lot of kings! It's all yours from now on!
β¦β¦
Five days after the start of the King Chef Competition, two days after the start of the King Competition, when Shen Wansha dragged Lu Li to play, Lu Li received two letters. One is from Chengdu Mansion, in addition to the greetings of friends, there is also the road guide he wants.
The other is from Shangjing, and Mrs. Bai has already settled down in Shangjing with her family, and invited him to come over to play when he has time. The letter also wrote some feedback from her former friend and his mother, Miao Hongxiao. One of the most important ones, Mrs. Bai said that on the way to Beijing, she met Miao Hongxiao's friend in the boudoir, Lan Xin. She mentioned Lu Li to Lan Xin, and asked if it was inconvenient for Fang to visit, and Lan Xin said yes.
Mrs. Bai said in the letter that Lan Xin had a strange temper, and she couldn't test too much, so she could only help Lu Li ask for a chance to meet. Lan Xin and Miao Hongxiao are close friends, and the two often play together, regardless of whether there are clues to help Miao Hongxiao's death, for Lu Li, who knows little about his mother, it will not be useless to see each other.
The letter included Orchid's address, as well as an overview of the family. Because they met by chance when they were in a hurry, the time was too tight, and the information that Mrs. Bai could hear was limited, so Lu Li went to the place to carefully investigate it herself.
Lu Li immediately stood up excitedly when he saw this letter, his eyes flickered for a moment, his steps moved and ran out, and he found Zhao Zhu Shen Wan Shahe Lianyu who was sitting at the table waiting for dinner, his eyes flashed, "I want to go to Xijing!" β
He Lianyu immediately looked at Zhao Zhu. At that time, Zhao Zhu proposed to leave, and he didn't seem to say that he was going to Xijing, could it be that he told Lu Li in private?
Zhao Shu shook his head, he didn't feel that time was in a hurry, so he didn't say it...... So what's going on?
Shen Wansha was even more confused, "...... Didn't you say that you would go to the market tomorrow to buy Tan? β
Lu Li was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while, so he handed the letter to Shen Wansha to read.
Shen Wansha patted the table after seeing it, "Xijing is indeed going!" "Although it is important to have fun, it is even more important for friends to find their mothers! Little oak lost his mother at the age of five or six, and he couldn't even find the bones, so he was looking for relevant clues wholeheartedly, and now there is news, he must cooperate, not only to cooperate, but also to help!
Lu Li took Shen Wansha's hand, looking a little guilty, "But you want to see ...... here" He was a little entangled.
"That's fine, the young master has money, he can have whatever he wants, it's not a matter of seeing, it's a matter of driving with you, understand?" Shen Wansha patted his chest proudly.
Lu Li still felt sorry.
Zhao Zhuliang interjected, "Xijing is going to hold a treasure appreciation conference recently. Shen Wansha was more interested in what he wanted to arouse, so that Lu Li was not so sorry.
Helian Yu also felt sorry for Shen Wansha, so he told about this treasure appreciation meeting in detail, his voice was subdued, and the words were not very gorgeous, but he painted an extremely beautiful picture.
It's dark, it's mysterious, it's exciting, and ordinary people can't get in. That is, the treasure appreciation, each treasure is of course priceless, and the varieties are different. It may be extremely luxurious, there may be kiwi grass, and there may be many good things that have never been seen before...... Maybe there's a lot of gold!
Shen Wansha's eyes immediately seemed to be filled with gold ingots, his hands were holding his face, his cheeks were red, and his expression was extremely dreamy. He loves money, loves to make money, loves to enjoy, his vision is not ordinarily high, of course he likes babies! Not to mention that there may be Jin Cancan that he hasn't seen!
Young Master Shen Wansha immediately slapped the table arrogantly, "I just want to sell the treasure at the Treasure Appreciation Conference, and when the golden treasure is there, no one can rob it with the young master!" β
Lu Li couldn't cry or laugh, the young master actually cared about this the most......
Zhao Shu rolled his eyes.
Helian Yu agreed, "Well, we don't like gold. β
"You know, you like silver." Shen Wansha looked at him with disdain, no wonder the stars are so cheap, gold and silver are cheap!
Helian Yu seemed to interpret the deep meaning in Shen Wansha's eyes, and his face darkened slightly.
Shen Wansha laughed at him again, "You are a thief, you must prefer the treasure appreciation conference, right?" It's a pity, when the time comes, Baibaolou will be carefully guarded, and there will be many masters, and you won't be able to steal it! β
Helian Yu's face darkened.
Zhao Shu snorted and sprayed tea unkindly......
So the itinerary was decided.
Several people are very action-oriented people, since the itinerary is set, there is no need to be nostalgic, quickly packed their luggage, and set off in an early morning when the weather was slightly cloudy and not too hot.
It's just that the summer road is still very hard, and several people are not in a hurry, in order to avoid the heat injury, they all take advantage of the morning and afternoon when it is not hot to go on the road, and find a place to rest at noon.
Walking is a bit boring, four people together can also wipe the cards to have fun, when one person will have a lot of thoughts in his head, usually put aside, don't want to think, will always jump out.
Like what...... thoughts on Zhao Zhu.
Lu Li sometimes secretly looked at Zhao Zhu, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was in tune, and felt that Zhao Zhu's appearance was to his liking, eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth, and there was nothing he didn't like. Thinking about it, when he met by chance on the mountain, he didn't have any vigilance to save Zhao Shu home, was it because this person was too right-eyed?
But after getting along, he saw Zhao Zhu's temper, and he hated it......
Why is this the case now?
But no matter what, it's enough to be entangled these days, now that you understand and decide, a manly man, you should move forward bravely!
Lu Li decided that he wanted to confess!
But this kind of thing...... He's never done it before, and it's a bit of a vain. Although Zhao Shu showed that he liked men sexually, he didn't necessarily like him, because he had tried it, and Zhao Shu clearly said: I don't like it.
Admitting that he was bent and having the courage to face this matter in his heart is very handsome. But the confession was unsuccessful, and people asked him to get out of ...... It's so sad.
Lu Li thought about it for two days and decided to learn from his little friend, although the little friend is also naΓ―ve, unlike the experienced, there may not be a perfect building, but you can give some courage and support, it's completely okay!
He knew that Zhao Zhu's martial arts were very high, so he deliberately chose the opportunity for Zhao Shu to go out and be absent, and asked Shen Wansha to talk about it - because if he was heard by the parties, it would be very embarrassing!
Lu Li's topic started very bluntly, he sat down in front of Shen Wansha, and said directly, "I fell in love with Zhao Shu and wanted to confess to him, what do you think?" β
Shen Wansha's paws shook, and the teacup he was holding fell straight down, upside down on the big white head, and the puppy was drenched with water, which was particularly miserable.
Da Bai was very angry, and he couldn't forgive the stupid young master's behavior, and he pulled Shen Wansha's clothes with his paws, screaming.
At that time, the wind was blowing, and the leaves rustled outside the window, like the sound of continuous spring rain, which was very beautiful.
Shen Wansha's eyes widened, and in the background of the big white scream, he looked at his little friend with a very complicated expression, "You...... Say it again? "There was a look of disbelief.
Lu Li smiled slightly, and repeated very calmly, "I fell in love with Zhao Shu and wanted to confess to him, what do you think." β
Shen Wansha was completely stunned.
How could my little friend have such a murderous idea!
He had actually thought that there would be such a day. Ping Wang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is powerful, and he has outrageous cruel strength, and basically it is impossible not to succeed in what he wants to do. And the two also have a marriage contract. And Lu Li doesn't seem to have no feelings for King Ping.
But in his imagination, it should be King Ping who is entangled in every way, trying every means to please his little friends, and the little partners ignore all kinds of noble and cold colors, and let him perform on the sword mountain and under the sea of fire and still watch coldly, until King Ping suffers, suffers a lot, and is full of trauma, so he reluctantly agrees......
That's the right way! That's normal! Why do you want to stand up and confess! Wouldn't this make King Ping take a big advantage, and he hasn't seen a good show yet!
He really wants to see the person who hates the abuse of the prince, and believes that all the people in Shangjing, no, the whole Daxia wants to see it! Why not give it a chance!
Shen Wansha's eyes couldn't blink, and his voice was difficult, "Do you want to ...... Think again? β
Lu Li paused and shook his head decisively, "I've already made up my mind, and if I like it, I should confess." β
No, you have to think again! Shen Wansha's mind turned quickly, trying to find a way to persuade Lu Li, "Look, this love affair...... Belch...... That one...... Whoever falls in love first suffers first! Yes, I've seen it in the book, whoever falls in love first suffers! β
Lu Li disagreed, "But I liked him first, this is a fact, there is nothing to lose." β
"Oh, not about the fact, but about -"
"Wow!" Da Bai is still pulling Shen Wansha vigorously. Shen Wansha was anxious, so he simply picked up Dabai, touched its head, signaled it to be quiet, and then continued to persuade his little friend, "I mean that this person, I don't cherish things that are too easy to get." For example, the clothes I bought with silver, no matter how beautiful they looked, and no matter how good they were, I would get tired of wearing them for two days, and I would not feel distressed if I lost them. But if I had come up with my own ideas, and I had thought of the style, the fabric, the color, and the embroidery, I would definitely not have lost it in two days, and I would have to wear it for a season, or even leave it in the box and wear it again. Not to mention that my mother made it for me, even if it wasn't golden, I wouldn't wear it or lose it. β
Lu Li laughed out loud, "It turns out that the young master also designs and makes clothes by himself......"
"Oh, that's not the point!" Shen Wansha slapped the table anxiously, and persuaded her bitterly, "The point is that love is so beautiful and important, it must not be hasty!" You have to give it the best respect, but also let the other person feel its weight and temperature! β
Love is indeed the most beautiful thing in the world, and it deserves to be treated with caution. Lu Li touched his chin, "This makes sense." β
Shen Wansha made a victory gesture to himself in his heart, and continued to lobby, "So you can't confess hastily!" β
"It's ...... too," Lu Li was a little distressed, "but how can you confess without being hasty?" "Candlelight dinner? Ring? No, that's a marriage proposal. Then just-"Under the moon before, confess when the beautiful scenery is beautiful?" β
"No, you have to listen to me." Shen Wansha's eyes flickered, vowing to change the concept of his little partner, his voice was soft, and he guided step by step, "In addition to a lot of money in my family, there are many words, and my mother loves to see the love stories of talented and beautiful people, and the young master knows a lot." Although I can't be called a master, I am better than you. β
He raised his chin arrogantly, and looked 'hello and learned' with a flamboyant confidence!
