Ye Yan looked at the direction Gu Piaoran left and whispered, "Zhaozi, is this old thing credible?" ”

"Whether it's credible or not, you'll have to try." I stood up and said, "Let's go, go back and pack our things, and let's go and do business." ”

When Ye Shen and I went back, the women of all sizes in the family might have gone shopping, and they didn't even have melon seeds at home. I hurriedly packed up the guys, left a note and went out the door.

The meeting place arranged by Gu Piaoran for us was hundreds of kilometers away, and we could just arrive at the agreed time by driving there. Gu Piaoran obviously didn't want us to be too prepared.

As soon as Ye Yan drove the car to the door of the agreed place, he saw four or five cars coming over one after another. There were probably more than a dozen people in the car, but they didn't greet each other, and it seemed that they didn't know each other. However, from where they stood, these people were all old rivers and lakes who were used to seeing the scene.

As soon as I lit a cigarette here, Gu Piaoran's car drove up from a distance. The latter poked his head out of the window and beckoned, "Now that you're all here, come with me!" When I get to the place, I'll talk to you about this business in detail. ”

Everyone got into the car without saying a word. Gu Piaoran drove the car to a hidden beach, which, if I read it right, is supposed to be a secret dock reserved for stowaways. Gu Piaoran, this is want to go to sea?

After Gu Piaoran jumped out of the car, he sent a signal into the distance, and soon, a big ship slowly approached the dock. Gu Piaoran greeted the driver who drove him, "You can go." ”

The latter suddenly pulled out a dagger from his body and slashed it into his neck. Soon after the blood-spattered corpse fell to the ground, it crawled up with blank eyes, pulled the car door dripping with blood, and started the car to drive back the way we came.

Gu Piaoran, this is extinguishing?

In order to be foolproof, Gu Piaoran let people die in front of his eyes, and in order to hide his whereabouts, he manipulated the dead man to drive the car away.

What kind of business is Gu Piaoran going to do?

When I was frowning, Gu Piaoran had already said: "Come with me on the boat, when we get to the sea, we can talk about it in detail." ”

Without any hesitation, the people who came with me followed Gu Piaoran and boarded the big ship. After getting on the boat, Gu Piaoran never said a word, just sat quietly in the cabin and closed his eyes to recuperate. Strangely enough, all the people who came on board with him sat quietly in their cabins.

It wasn't until the early morning sun shone into the cabin that Gu Piaoran opened his eyes: "I asked someone to prepare breakfast for you, and we will talk while eating." ”

Gu Piaoran reached out and took the eggs brought by the waiter, slowly peeled the eggshell and said, "I invited you to come here to find a secret burial left by Shen Gongweijing, the predecessor of the Rumor Sect. ”

After Gu Piaoran finished speaking, he began to peel the eggs intently, as if he deliberately left us time to digest the information in his words.

I didn't know who Shen Weijing was, so I had to look at Ye Yan. Ye Ember has been in an antique shop, and he also likes to collect wild history, maybe he can know something.

Ye Yan said in a low voice: "Shen Weijing was a diplomat in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and the official history records that he was a businessman in Jiaxing, but the wild history says that he is an authentic marketman. But such a person actually stirred up the situation of the Three Kingdoms at that time, and he was in the limelight for a while. ”

Ye Shen explained: "In the twentieth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the actual ruler of Japan, sent 150,000 troops to invade Korea, and after the defeat of Korea, he asked for help from the Ming Dynasty. Although the Wanli Emperor decided to send troops, Ningxia was not peaceful at that time, and someone had to delay the war situation in order to buy enough time militarily. But what's worse is that there is no one available in the Ming court. ”

"In the end, Shi Xing, who was the secretary of the military department at the time, found a businessman who was proficient in Japanese or a marketman from outside to serve as a special envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and that person was Shen Weijing."

After Shen Weijing entered the court alone as a special envoy of the Ming Dynasty, with his incorruptible tongue, he appeased the Korean court on the one hand, and threatened Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the other, and he actually dragged out the war. It was not until the Ming Dynasty general Li Rusong waved his army into the dynasty that Shen Weijing played a role for the second time. ”

"Although Li Rusong won a series of battles in the early stage, because of the loose system of the Korean court, the logistics of the Ming army could not be supplied, and the Ming army could not win a comprehensive victory; Toyotomi Hideyoshi's side also had no intention of continuing the offensive because of heavy losses, and the two sides decided to negotiate the withdrawal of troops. This time, the person in charge of the negotiation was Shen Weijing. ”

This time, Shen Weijing can be described as bold, on the one hand, he deceived Emperor Wanli, saying that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a subservient minister, and on the other hand, he explained to Toyotomi Hideyoshi that the court fully agreed to his unrealistic seven conditions. Later, the matter was revealed, and Shen Weijing was also arrested by Li Rusong and returned to Daming, and Shi Xing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was imprisoned with him. ”

After Shi Xing was imprisoned, he died of depression and hunger strike within a few days. Shen Weijing should eat and drink, and lived in prison for another two years, until the court settled the accounts in the autumn. ”

Ye Shen said at this time, and added: "According to legend, Toyotomi Hideyoshi actually died at the hands of Shen Weijing. ”

I was surprised, "What do you mean?" ”

Ye Shen continued: "Legend has it that Toyotomi Hideyoshi invited Shen Weijing to a banquet, and when he saw Shen Weijing taking pills, he asked him what it was. Shen Weijing told him that he was eating an elixir, and talked about the elixir with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. ”

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty liked to take the elixir is well known, Toyotomi Hideyoshi regarded Shen Weijing as Wanli's confidant at that time, and heard that he had an elixir in his hand that only the emperor could take, and saw Shen Weijing's immortal wind bones, so he believed it and asked him for a lot of pills."

Ye Yan pouted when he said this: "You also know what is in the pills that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty ate, when he first ate it, he was indeed alive and well, and if he ate it for a year or two, he was basically not far from death." Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi knew that he had fallen for Shen Weijing, he did not cut off the pill, and after five or six years, he couldn't afford to fall ill and died. ”

I couldn't help but nod my head after listening to this.

Although I don't know if Shen Weijing is a rumor, I am sure that he is by no means a gangster. A person who wanders through the market, can deal with many court officials freely, and can he be at ease in front of a generation of heroes Toyotomi Hideyoshi? I'm afraid that even ordinary court officials can't do this, right?

Just from the point that Shen Weijing dragged Toyotomi Hideyoshi by himself, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a strange person, and even a hero.

I now believe in Shen Wei's identity as the heir of the Rumor Sect.

Gu Piaoran waited for Ye Yan to finish speaking, and then swallowed the egg slowly: "Actually, Shen Gong didn't just trick Toyotomi Hideyoshi into eating the elixir back then, in Japanese history, Shen Gong was called a fierce general, and Shen Gong's reputation at that time can be seen. With Shen Gong's ability, it is not easy to cheat some money from Toyotomi Hideyoshi. ”

At this time, someone couldn't help but ask: "What did Shen Weijing deceive?" ”

Gu Piaoran said: "Toyotomi Hideyoshi's ambition during his lifetime was to establish an Asian empire that included China, India, and Korea, and even dreamed of setting the capital of Ningbo Mansion and moving the Japanese emperor to Beijing. ”

Shen Chengcheng grasped his psychology and used Feng Shui secret techniques to win the trust of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and emptied his treasury in a few years. How much gold there is, even I, the rumor-bearer, are incalculable! ”

I couldn't help but ask, "How many years, you say?" Could it be that it wasn't Shen Weijing who was imprisoned at that time? ”

Gu Piaoran smiled and said: "If the people in the rumor gate are so easy to catch, why should the rumor gate be unscrupulous?" According to historical records, the Ming general Li Rusong set up an ambush outside the Japanese military camp and took down Shen Gong, in fact, what he won was just a stand-in, the real Shen Gong has been staying by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's side, and another disciple of the Rumor Sect is refining the elixir for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he is carrying his treasury by the way. The place we are going to now is the secret burial left by Shen Gong back then. ”

While Gu Piaoran was talking, I had been watching the others. Of the dozen or so of us, only one or two of us showed joy after hearing the word "gold", and the others were all as usual.

Those people are either old rivers and lakes who are good at controlling their emotions and are moody, or they don't have their minds on gold at all.

Gu Piaoran continued: "The purpose of inviting you here is to open the secret burial, but this is also a life of play, and it can even be said that it is a life of nine deaths. However, I can guarantee that as long as the secret burial is successfully opened, you will be able to get what you want, and in case someone misses, the family will also receive generous bereavement. ”

At this time, someone spoke: "I want to ask, since Mr. Gu has repeatedly claimed that Shen Weijing is a senior of the Rumor Sect, didn't he leave you a map when he left a secret burial?" ”

Gu Piaoran said: "The map is there." However, in addition to Shen Gong, there were also many Japanese masters of martial arts who participated in the burial of the secret burial at that time. At that time, in order to win each other's trust, both sides left their own means. Shen Gong's map can be trusted at most half, or even less. Besides......"

Gu Piaoran paused and said: "After the Ming Dynasty, the southeast area was also rampant with pirates, and there are many masters of the Dao of Arts!" According to my investigation, those masters of the Dao of Martial Arts had also placed a lot of prohibitions on the periphery of the secret burial. Together, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the secret burial was a Jedi of the Divine Dao. ”

Gu Piaoran's words are somewhat credible, if a master of the magic path discovers a secret burial that is difficult to open, he will often not give up easily, but put another barrier outside. One is to inform your peers that someone here is the first to get there, and the other is to stop those unruly peers from getting their prey.

Pirates hide at sea all year round, and are more likely to encounter ghosts than regular merchant ships, so there are many masters of the art among the pirates, and it is reasonable that they will ban them again.

However, what I'm interested in now is not the secret burial, but what Gu Piaoran wants to find in the secret burial?
