Chapter 16 Buying Pictures

"Just because you haven't been there doesn't mean you haven't dreamed of it."

"What do you mean by that?"

Song Dao saw Ji Tao's sour face, and couldn't help but want to show off in front of him: "When I was crowned, an old man appeared in my dream, and handed me this picture, passing on my skills to help the world, so I have this picture and this book." ”

"Brother Ji, look." Song Daodao spread the map on the car and pointed to Ba County, "Ba County is here, right or wrong." ”

Ji Tao squinted, leaned on the map and looked at it: "That's true, there are indeed Shu counties around Ba County." ”

"Look, did you take a boat along this line to Hengshan County, and then turn to Hengshan County by land." Song Daodao gestured on the map.

Although Ji Tao looked fascinated and felt quite right in his heart, he just couldn't understand it, and the main reason was that he couldn't read the simplified Chinese characters on the map.

Song Daodao also discovered this problem, and immediately took out his dictionary and handed it to Ji Tao.

But Ji Tao didn't know how to use this dictionary arranged in Chinese pinyin, so Song Daodao had to teach him the characters on the map one by one.

After Song Daodao's teaching, Ji Tao exclaimed continuously: "Yes, yes, Nanjun is indeed here, and I have stayed here." ”

"This picture is really powerful, it actually collects the Great Qin world in this square inch, if Your Majesty can see this picture, you will return to Longyan Dayue." After reading it carefully, Ji Tao was even more obsessed with it, but as soon as he mentioned His Majesty, Ji Tao suddenly frowned, "It's a pity that Your Majesty can't see it anymore." ”

"You're talking about the First Emperor?" Seeing Ji Tao sigh like this, Song Daodao asked, "Have you seen him?" ”

"When His Majesty ordered the master to enter Xianyang, I also went with him." Ji Tao smiled and said, "Little Brother Song, this picture is really a work of ghosts, and it can't be painted if you are not an immortal." In the past, Ji Tao was disgusted with the art of gods and ghosts, but today is really an eye-opener! ”

"Small meaning, small meaning." Song Daodao sat on the side, looking at Ji Tao, who had "never seen the world", and kept exclaiming, and a sense of pride arose.

"Little Brother Song, is the direction of the map reversed?" Ji Tao said suddenly.

"Is it the other way around?" Song Daodao hurriedly looked at the map carefully, "Where is it reversed?" ”

Ji Tao pointed to the map and asked timidly, "Is this north-south direction reversed?" ”

Faced with the "treasure" given by the immortals that Song Daodao took out, Ji Tao really didn't dare to question it at will, but the direction of this map could indeed drink the difference he saw on weekdays, so Ji Tao bravely mentioned it.

Song Daodao looked at the map and muttered in his mouth: "Up the north, down the south, left west, right east, no problem!" ”

"How is it that the further south this map goes, the more it is the place of the Huns?" Ji Tao mentioned.

"Where is the Huns to the south?" Song Daodao muttered in his mouth, thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that Wu Aya's "Life Chapter" mentioned that the map of the pre-Qin period may be up to the south and from the north, rather than the modern general up and down to the south.

It turns out that this map was drawn by Wu Aya according to modern rules, and the direction was not indicated, so it is no wonder that Ji Tao would think that Vietnam was the territory of the Xiongnu.

Knowing what the situation was, Song Daodao immediately explained to Ji Tao: "Brother Ji, I forgot to tell you. When the immortals gave the picture, they specially explained that the picture was drawn upside down, but in fact, the top was the north. ”

"Oh, that's right." Ji Tao suddenly realized, "Little Brother Song, Brother Ji shamelessly wants to talk to you about something." ”

"Look at what you say, you have something to say."

"Look at this picture, how much money are you willing to buy from me."

"Huh?" Song Daodao was confused.

"How about a thousand gold?"

"Ahh

"It's too little, too, such a treasure map, a thousand gold is indeed a loss to you. In this way, two thousand gold, how about it? ”

"Ah!!h

Song Daodao sat on the horse-drawn cart, curled up in the front of the cart, holding his package tightly in his hand.

At this time, Song Daodao knew that he might be in trouble.

"Brother Ji, if I don't buy it, you won't kill people and take the picture, right?" Song Daodao pretended to be calm and said tentatively in a half-joking tone.

Ji Tao was stunned, as if he didn't expect Song Daodao to ask such a question, silently rolled up the map in his hand, and exchanged it back into Song Daodao's hands.

Song Daodao took the map and thought in his heart: he had indeed gotten carried away before.

Such a map is naturally nothing in modern times, but at the end of the Qin Dynasty, it was a priceless treasure for conquering cities and conquering the world.

As a Qin person, Ji Tao naturally would not let such a treasure flow outside and become a hidden danger for Great Qin.

Although he said that he wanted to buy pictures for a thousand dollars, Song Daodao knew that the status gap between himself and them was too big, and if he didn't give it, they could take risks and kill people to take the picture.

But if you give it, what will you do, and if you give it, you may not be able to avoid disaster.

"Two thousand gold is not a small amount, if you buy a field, you can be safe." Ji Tao patted Song Daodao's shoulder and continued to persuade, "There is a saying in "Spring and Autumn" that 'a gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty', little brother Song, you are just a county lieutenant, how can you protect such treasures, think twice." ”

In Song Daodao's view, as soon as he said this, it became clear that he was really threatening to rob if he didn't give it, and if he continued to stay, he might really lose his life.

Song Daodao was still hesitating, and the car suddenly went crazy, and the rope that fixed the goods on the car was broken due to the violent bumps.

"Ah Zhong, what's going on." Ji Tao protected the goods with one hand and asked at the driver Ah Zhong.

The driver, Ah Zhong, stuck his feet between the railings, stabilized his body, and held the reins tightly in his hands, trying to pull the horse pulling the cart: "Big brother, this horse can't pull it somehow!" ”

Song Daodao saw that the time had come, and there was no time to hesitate.

"Ah Zhong!" Song Daodao called out to Ah Zhong, the driver.

"Huh?" Ah Zhong subconsciously looked back at Song Daodao.

Song Daodao immediately took out a bag of lime from his baggage and sprinkled it directly on Ah Zhong's face.

The pain came immediately, Ah Zhong screamed and screamed, covered his face with his hands, leaned back, and fell out of the car.

"Song Daodao, what are you doing!" Seeing Song Daodao's sudden attack on his own people, Ji Tao picked up the sword beside him and slashed at Song Daodao.

Song Dao didn't say much, and saw Ji Tao let go of the hand protecting the goods, leaned back, and kicked the goods under the car.

Ji Tao didn't expect Song Daodao to be so desperate, in order to keep the goods, he hurriedly threw down the sword in his hand, pounced on the goods, and grabbed the goods.

The car was bumped, and the sword thrown by Ji Tao fell in front of Song Daodao.

Song Daodao immediately got up, picked up the sword thrown by Ji Tao, took his baggage, stepped over the railing, cut the rope that tied the horse, climbed onto the high-headed black horse pulling the cart, held the reins, and clamped his legs.

"Drive!"

Walk away.
