Chapter 22 Gold is the fickle eye of the devil

Talking to Mu Xin made Tie Xinyuan very uncomfortable.

That's a complete lunatic.

A madman who will do it whenever he thinks of it.

He didn't care how many people died because of his outlandish thoughts, and he didn't care about the confusion that his outlandish ideas caused others.

Tie Xinyuan was very confused right now, and he found that none of his inferences about Mu Xin seemed to be correct.

Scholars, wise men, fanatics, usurper careerists, and now finally have the label of a madman.

This guy's opinion on the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty is correct, but it is not only him, an outsider, who can see it, a long time ago, Fan Zhongyan saw it, and later, Wang Anshi will also see it, so the place where he thinks he is smart is not uncommon among the literati of the Great Song Dynasty.

Musin also changed, that is, this man suddenly added the vice of incense, and smoked it very strongly.

Tie Xinyuan lowered his head and sniffed his clothes, and the fragrance on his clothes had not completely faded until now.

This kind of spice obtained from the sap cut from the benzoin tree and dried has always been used as medicine in the Great Song Dynasty.

Musin suddenly began to roast benzoin in his room, could it be that the old fellow was sick?

Tie Xinyuan tried his best to recall the scope of benzoin, and found that this thing only had a little effect on sudden fainting, and with Mu Sin's health condition, it was impossible to need benzoin to refresh himself.

But you still have to pay attention, this kind of thing is best left to Meng Yuanzhi to do, this guy has been by the emperor's side for a long time, and he has a very keen sense of the physical changes of big people, which in itself is his previous job.

Xu Dongsheng found that his little tricks couldn't fool Mu Xin. He stopped drinking, and spent the whole day on the lookout for a sudden attack on Musin.

This form did not last long, and once he entered the territory of Persia, Musin would chop him into meat sauce and feed it to the dogs.

If possible, Xu Dongsheng hopes that he will stay in Yiwu Prefecture until he is old.

The murder case of the other day has been closed, and the person who came forward is Musin. He seems to have endless prestige in the desert Gobi.

The Khitans' way of dealing with this was to kill the guy in the soup cake shop who had injured his foot with a knife, and then no one remembered the existence of these two people.

The soup cakes in the soup cake shop tasted really good, and this time two bowls of soup cakes with meat were obtained with one silver coin, and the sweat of both Tie Xinyuan and Xiao Savage was dripping down.

I don't know how much pepper is added to the soup, and having such a bowl of mutton soup cakes in winter will indeed make people have the idea of being a Hami person for a long time.

Tie Yi and they never eat in front of outsiders, and it is the same in this soup and cake shop, standing straight behind Tie Xinyuan, protecting Tie Xinyuan and the little savage inside.

That night Tie Yi. Tieliu killed a lot of people in Hami, and then put the corpses of those people in the shape of killing each other, and each group of people would have a bloodstained sheepskin gold map on their bodies.

It stands to reason that after so many people died, Hami should have looked like a rumor, but the fact is that Hami has become more lively, and countless majestic men are carrying weapons. Constantly wandering around the bazaar, eyes not fixed on the cargo. Instead, they stare at anyone who arouses their curiosity.

There have already been three teams of riders who have left Hami, and the target is the direction in which Tie Xinyuan came from, which is what he has been looking forward to these days, the only pity is that the Khitans seem to be smarter, and they did not move.

Some people don't believe in this picture, and naturally some people choose to believe it. What Tie Xinyuan is waiting for now is someone to bring back gold from the sandstone mountain, and at that time, the wave of search for gold will sweep across the entire Igo Prefecture.

There was also a golden map on the table of the Khitan's defense envoy, and he didn't put his mind on this map. The first time he saw this picture, he knew it was fake.

Although the sheepskin is an old sheepskin, the handwriting on it is very new, and the cartographer is even reluctant to add a little antiquity to this picture, so he takes it out naked and prepares to demagogue.

He just wanted to find this person who made the drawings, and wanted to ask him what he wanted to do in person?

Hami is not a few rice grain rivers in the Khitan territory, the melons and fruits that are abundant here have to pay tribute to Linhuang Mansion every year, especially the cantaloupe flowing with honey, it is the cherished thing of the Khitan nobles, they do not hesitate to send fast horses, back and forth between Linhuang Mansion and Hami, in order to be able to taste this intoxicating sweetness as soon as possible.

And the abundant grain in Hami is a guarantee for the existence of the Khitan army in the border areas.

Houtong did not allow any mistakes in Yiwuzhou, especially after the Khitan princess was tortured to death by the Western Xia Emperor.

It won't be long before the army of Da Liao will go north to teach a lesson to the country that doesn't take Da Liao seriously.

This picture has been on his desk for three days, this is found from the scene of the fire of the two groups, there is no living mouth at the scene, the only thing that can explain the cause of the fire is this golden picture.

"Prepare the horse, let's go and consult a wise man from the West, and hope that he can explain to us why the Persian script is used on this map."

After the order, Hou Tong saw that the deputy general was still staring at the golden map, so he sighed and said, "If you like it, after I have asked the wise elder, I will give him to you."

Our brother has been through a lot of battles, and there is no reason to plant this little child's thing. ”

The adjutant general smiled, withdrew his gaze from the golden map with difficulty, and accompanied Hou Tong out of the barracks, he also wanted to know if the things on this drawing were real.

When this picture was placed on Mu Sin's desktop, Mu Xin smiled, took out a picture from the box under the table, put it next to the first picture and smiled: "General, I also have such a picture." ”

Hou Tong frowned and said, "With the wisdom of Elder Wisdom, when you can see that this is a forged golden map, the forger's intentions are very sinister. ”

Mu Xin shook his head and said: "The general does not know, my entourage once saw divine punishment on this sandstone mountain, and I don't know where there is gold Old man, they did find some gold from where. ”

As Mu Xin spoke, he clapped his hands, and Tie Xinyuan walked in with a heavy basket, placed the basket in front of Mu Sin, and stood by with his head bowed.

Mu Xin lifted the cloth on the basket to reveal the gold inside, and said with a smile: "This is the gold that I, an immature student, picked up from the Gobi outside the land of divine punishment, please take a look at it." ”

Hou Tong took a gold ingot from the basket in confusion, checked it up and down, and did not find the inscription on the gold, this is a very rough gold ingot, the surface is not smooth at all, full of pores and trachoma, knock it with your hand, and there will be sand flowing out of those trachomas.

"Elder, there is no mark on this gold ingot, which is not in line with the government's habit of making gold ingots."

Mu Xin laughed and said: "Whether it is the Song Kingdom, or the Great Liao, or the Western Xia Kingdom, your management of gold is the same, gold is not common among the people, as long as the red gold is found in the people, you will return it to the treasury as soon as possible."

But ah, these gold ingots have been minted for a long time, which is obviously not from the government, and it fits the definition of treasure very well.

Therefore, the old man has already sent someone to the sandstone mountain for verification, and there should be news in the next few days. ”

Hou Tong was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "The elder said that there was a divine punishment on the Gobi?" What kind of divine punishment? Who suffered divine punishment? ”

Seeing Mu Xin waving his hand at him, Tie Xinyuan stepped forward and said, "General, it was a group of sand thieves who did all kinds of evil to suffer from God's punishment, and I only saw loud noises, fires, thick smoke, and sudden hurricanes.

After the divine punishment, we risked our lives to climb the sandstone mountain, and saw a bloody field, whether it was a war horse or a sand thief, they were all powdered and miserable. ”

Hou Tong looked at Tie Xinyuan for a long time before asking, "Since you are the discoverers of the Golden Land, do you know who drew these two pictures?" ”

Tie Xinyuan nodded unexpectedly and said, "I know, these pictures should be drawn by a certain sand thief who survived by luck." ”

Hou Tong Huo Ran got up and looked at Tie Xinyuan and said, "You mean to say that besides you, there are other people who have seen the divine punishment and also found gold?" ”

Mu Xin smiled: "General don't be impatient, Aladdin has gone to Sandstone Mountain, and when he returns, everything will be revealed."

God's punishment has come to the world, and we must not be cautious. ”

After sending Hou Tong away, Tie Xinyuan cautiously asked Mu Xin: "Teacher, what should I do next?" ”

Mu Xin laughed and said: "Don't worry about his children, people's hearts are profit-oriented, and no matter how loyal a person is, he can't resist the invasion of rumors."

If you really see the divine punishment in the Sandstone Mountain, Hou Tong will definitely go to the Sandstone Mountain to see what is going on.

Next, you just have to wait for my children, these people who do not have gods in their hearts cannot withstand the temptation of gold, you must remember that gold is the fickle eyes of the devil. ”

Tie Xinyuan sighed for a long time about Mu Sin's incisive summary, and then left Mu Sin's room, and now, more than anyone else, he expected Aladdin to return as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
