After resting for half an hour after the meal and drinking a few cups of tea, Yuan Ziyan finally felt that he could digest it a little, and said with a smile: "Big brother, if you eat like this, you will definitely become fat." ”

"No, Ziyan works so hard every day, her body is slender, how can she be obese." Li Shan got up and said, "Ziyan, go, I'll take you somewhere." ”

"Where?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Cut, and it was mysterious, Yuan Ziyan followed Li Shan to a secret room, only to see him move an antique shelf, reach out and tap a few times on the seemingly flat wall, as if entering a password, and then the entire wall opened, revealing a wide passage.

It turned out to be a secret room.

Yuan Ziyan was very curious, and followed Li Shan down, after the two entered, Li Shan closed the door of the secret room, his vision was a little dark, and the more he went inside, the more so.

Li Shan was about to take down a torch on the wall, but Yuan Ziyan waved his hand to stop him, and then took out the night pearl from his arms, and suddenly the passage became bright and delicate.

"Hehe, this baby is rare."

"The messenger gave it to me, and it looked very shabby on the outside, and the people of the world casually agreed to give it to me, and later regretted it too late." At the mention of this stubble, Yuan Ziyan was proud.

Li Shan smiled silently, probably not wanting to have too much evaluation of Li Shimin. The road inside is very long, and there are many forks, and if you don't have anyone with you, you're sure to get lost.

Yuan Ziyan recovered from a serious illness, his physical strength did not recover, of course he didn't need the escape technique, and when he finally came to his destination, he was already a little tired and a little prostration.

"Oops, I actually ignored Ziyan's poor physical strength." Li Shan looked back and saw Yuan Ziyan constantly wiping his sweat. Immediately said with annoyance.

"Hehe, where am I so delicate. Where are we? Yuan Ziyan looked around curiously, picking at both sides with his hands. It is all rocks, and it should be the deep belly of the hill.

I saw Li Shan pointing at the rocks again, but Yuan Ziyan couldn't see the difference between the place where his finger fell and other places, this was too hidden, right?

With a dull thud, the stone door opened, revealing a spacious hall inside, and further inside. There are several stone gates again, and between each stone gate is a road that turns and turns, Yuan Ziyan believes. In this world, except for Li Shan, no one will find here.

Finally, the last stone door opened, Yuan Ziyan's mouth opened wide in surprise, and the night pearl in his hand almost fell to the ground. Because at this point it doesn't work anymore.

Resplendent!

The neat shelves are all filled with gold bars. On the stone steps on both sides are silver bars and various jewelry. Yuan Ziyan walked in in surprise, and roughly calculated, the gold reserves here definitely exceeded thousands of tons, and the silver bars also exceeded five hundred tons, and the value of jewelry was immeasurable.

Yuan Ziyan walked around here in a daze, and she had also been to the treasury, but there were definitely no more treasures here. And those treasures that are round and jade are all superb. Better than tribute.

"Purple smoke, if you are willing to stay. It's all yours. Li Shan stepped forward, although he still had a calm expression, but his tone subconsciously increased, obviously excited in his heart.

Yuan Ziyan looked at these treasures and felt that his legs were a little sore, but he found that there was not even a seat here. Li Shanlian said that he made a mistake, and personally brought some gold bricks, took off his coat and spread it, and asked Yuan Ziyan to sit down.

"Ziyan, why are you silent?" Li Shan asked.

"Big brother, after so many years of business career, does it make you think that this money is just an increase in numbers, right?" Yuan Ziyan asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, exactly, to be honest, there's no fun at all."

"People seem to work hard for money all their lives, but when there is so much gold that they can't spend it all, it feels cold to sit on it as a stool." Yuan Ziyan smiled faintly.

Li Shan was silent, knowing that Yuan Ziyan was refusing his request in disguise, perhaps it was the greatest invitation Li Shan had sent since the two met.

"Big brother, with this money, you can recruit troops and buy horses and become emperors." Yuan Ziyan said suddenly.

Li Shan shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Don't test me for the Li family's country anymore, I have seen it for so many years, and being an emperor is just a bed, three meals, and countless folds and reviews." ”

"Yes, from Emperor Yang to Gaozu, Shimin and now Li Zhi, no one can escape this fate. Sometimes I don't understand, many princes are not satisfied with the moment, for the gap of this step, they have to fight hard, and the last execution, all of them are demoted to commoners, and everything at the beginning is gone. Yuan Ziyan said gloomily.

"Ziyan, I don't know something?"

"Please."

"Do you have the heart to be an emperor?" Li Shan hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

Yuan Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then giggled: "Why does the eldest brother ask this?" ”

"It may not be difficult to talk about talent and ability, about connections and prestige among the people in the army."

"But I'm a woman, this is a man's world, why does my eldest brother exalt me so much?" Yuan Ziyan asked.

"Maybe it's an intuition, I may have had doubts before, but over the years, I have become more and more convinced of those rumors, after the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine of the world is talking about purple smoke." Li Shan said affirmatively.

Yuan Ziyan smiled, didn't speak for a long time, and then said: "Big brother, you have really changed, not only is your heart indifferent, but your ideological consciousness is so high, you can accept the statement that a woman is the emperor." ”

"If Ziyan has this intention, Li Shan will spare no effort before and after the saddle!" Li Shan solemnly bowed his hand.

Yuan Ziyan shook his head, took Li Shan's hand and sat next to him, and said, "There are only two people in this world, and that is a man and a woman. It must be said that the prosperous era created by the people of the world has also pushed many women to come out. Those who go shopping, those who do business, those who rebel, those who cause chaos, some good and some bad. From this point of view, the Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly the most open era, so it is natural to produce an empress, but it is not me. ”

"Ziyan still says Wu Mei!" Li Shan frowned slightly, he couldn't talk about friendship with Wu Mei, so he didn't have any good feelings.

"Wu Mei's talent is not below me, or even surpassed, my advantage is just age, and I have a few more years of experience than her."

"Ziyan, since you have affection for Li Shimin, why do you want someone with a different surname to usurp Li Tang's country?" Li Shan asked again.

"It's inappropriate to use the word usurpation, but at this time, someone is the best candidate for the emperor, continuing the glory of the Tang Dynasty." Yuan Ziyan paused slightly, and said with a smile: "And don't forget, Wu Mei is the daughter-in-law of the Li family, but she is just in charge of her husband's family for a few days, and she will return it to the Li family in the future." ”

Li Shan shook his head with a wry smile, and in the end he just promised that no matter what Yuan Ziyan commanded in the future, he would support it. But it is limited to her, and others do not move her.

The temperature of the secret room was low, Yuan Ziyan was overwhelmed by the cold, Li Shan didn't say a word, bent over and picked up, and walked out in great strides.

Not long after returning to the hall, someone came to report that there was a guest visiting outside the door, but Li Shan waved his hand and refused, because Mochizuki Villa never entertained guests.

"Hehe, big brother, I guess, it should be an old acquaintance of the two of us." Yuan Ziyan nodded.

Hearing Yuan Ziyan say this, Li Shan nodded, and then ordered his subordinates to bring people from outside in, but they needed to be blindfolded. A moment later, one person brought it, and Li Shan and Yuan Ziyan glanced at it and smiled.

After the man took off the blindfold and adapted to the indoor light, he looked at Li Shan for a long time, tears flashing in his eyes, and he was silent.

Li Shan ordered people to retreat, and the person who came was Li Tao, Li Shan's former military advisor. It's just that before them, one was called Li Mi and the other was Xu Maogong.

"Mao Gong see big brother!" Li Tao did not forget his original intention and bowed his knees.

"Hurry up!" Li Shan was also quite excited, helped Li Tao up, and said: "Now I have already changed my appearance, and I am nothing more than a businessman, and I don't want to worry about it." ”

"The eldest brother has seen the outside, no matter when, Mao Gong will never forget the kindness of the eldest brother. In the future, just call me Mao Gong! Li Tao said sincerely.

"Unfortunately, now that I have a special identity, it is inconvenient to catch up with my brothers, but I often think about it and never forget it."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they sat down again. Li Shan smiled and said, "Duke Mao came to visit Ziyan on purpose!" ”

"Ziyan has long told the eldest brother that he is still in the world, but he has not visited, so today is naturally to visit the eldest brother." Li Tao said vaguely.

Li Shan laughed: "I have been in Chang'an City for many years, and you have never been here, why did Ziyan come with his front foot, and then you followed?" ”

Li Tao smiled, but when he saw the pleasant scenery and good treatment, he was relieved. Yuan Ziyan also sighed slightly and said, "Look at my life, I have a relationship with the surname Li." ”

"Yes, my real surname is Xu, but my surname has been changed." Li Tao agreed, and after speaking, the three of them laughed, and it was really a creation to make people.

"Mao Gong, since you're here, you might as well stay here for a few more days." Li Shan persuaded him.

Yuan Ziyan thought that Li Tao would politely refuse, but he didn't expect Li Tao's eyes to light up, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's a lot of disturbance." ”

"It's okay, I have a lot of trivial things, and this huge villa is also empty and lonely, so I can accompany Ziyan more. As for any major military affairs, I can't finish being busy until I die, so it's better to put it aside for the time being. Li Shan continued to persuade: "And our brothers can get together at any time, after all, Li Shimin is gone, and there are fewer and fewer people who know my previous identity, and there are not as many taboos as before." ”

"Thank you, big brother, I'll call to bite Jin and other brothers another day, let's not get drunk!" Li Tao's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that he had an illusion at this time, and regarded this place as another Wagang village.

It's just that time has passed, and Li Shan has long lost his original ambition, and the accumulation of wealth is nothing more than paving the way for Yuan Ziyan. (To be continued......)
