Chapter 010: The Treasure of the First Emperor
With difficulty, he stood up in his chair, his face covered in sweat, and sat down with the other four people one by one. Sitting back in his chair, he took out a brocade from his bosom and wiped his sweat constantly.
It turns out that what he said is true, there is really a treasure! If I find a treasure, I can get a little bit of it, and I don't have to work so hard. If the young master really overthrew the Liu family and became the emperor, then wouldn't I be the founder of the country, hehe! I said that I would never lose anything by doing something for them.
Thinking of this, the statement was in a good mood, rolling his eyes to notice the others from time to time, and he pricked up his ears, he didn't want to miss any information about the treasure.
Ying Xuan saw the funny appearance of the statement, and there was no longer the smile of the past, and this fat businessman usually made jokes. However, when Li Bo told him that the money here was all stated, he had a slight impression of the fat businessman, after all, he was a "sponsor".
"And where is the treasure now?" Ying Xuan stood up excitedly, with this treasure, everything is possible.
Li Bo put down the wat board, began to untie his clothes, and said while taking it off: "When I left Xianyang, the first emperor once specially instructed me to take it away. For so many years, the minister has been frightened day and night, and today he can finally hand it over to the young master. ”
He spread his robe on the chair and stroked it inch by inch with both hands. When he touched the corner of his clothes, he suddenly frowned, and in an instant he smiled again.
Ying Xuan pressed his hands on the table, stretched his neck and looked down, only to see Li Bo grab his long coat, pull it with both hands, and a small piece of cloth fell to the ground.
Li Bo threw down his long coat and hurriedly reached out to pick it up, he held the cloth in the palm of his hand, and gently blew away the dust on it with his mouth, then held it with both hands, high above his head, and respectfully handed it to Ying Xuan.
Ying Xuan took it, although it was only a small piece, it was also heavy in his heart. I touched it casually, but found that it was not a cloth, nor did it look like silk, but it looked like a ......
"This sheepskin was finally handed over to the young master, and the minister lived up to the trust of the first emperor." Li Bo knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in the northeast direction, which was the direction of Xianyang.
"Sheepskin, no wonder!" Ying Xuan muttered to himself, at this time, the paper had not yet appeared, and the books were all made of bamboo slips, which were very bulky. Of course, in addition to bamboo slips, there were other note-keeping tools, such as sheepskin, such as silk silk, but these two things were extremely precious at that time, and the poor naturally could not afford to use them, even the rich had to think twice.
Compared with silk, the biggest advantage of sheepskin is that it has a long storage time, so it is the best choice for treasure maps. Ying Xuan spread out the sheepskin on the table and frowned, if it was a modern map, it would naturally be fine.
It's just that this is in the Western Han Dynasty, and this map appeared much earlier, and it should have been drawn during the Qin Shi Huang period. He tilted his head and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see anything but some obvious mountains and rivers.
"Come and see, where the treasure is?" Ying Xuan knows the power of the collective, and they are "locals", the so-called three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, which is exactly the reason.
Hearing this, holding his big belly, he was the first to rush over and occupy an excellent viewing position. He pulled the map in front of him, looked it up and down, left and right, and thought to himself: Huh! What kind of place is this, is there such a place in the world?
He didn't dare to look at Ying Xuan in front of him, so he had to look left and right, and muttered to Peng Xian beside him: "Master Peng, there is something wrong with this map, can it be said that the treasure is nothing?" ”
Peng Xian still maintained his signature smile, and didn't want to ignore him, he rubbed his hands together, and said to Yingxuan: "The young master forgives the sin, and the minister can't see what the map points to." With that, he sat back in his chair.
Sun Chao stared at the map anxiously, and he couldn't see why. But the matter of the treasure was the first to be brought up by him, if he deceived the young master in the matter of the treasure, then he would lose the trust of the young master, so wouldn't Li Bo have to ride on his head all the time.
"That's not right!" He thought for a moment, "Maybe this map is fake, the real treasure map has been hidden by Li Bo, and he plans to swallow the treasure of the First Emperor alone." ”
Thinking of this, he pushed the map in front of Ying Xuan and said, "Young master, this map may be fake, because there is no such place in the world!" ”
Fake? Ying Xuan shook his head and immediately rejected this conclusion. If you rank the people around him in terms of trust, the first one must be Zhang Jing, and the second person he trusts is Li Bo, he believes that Li Bo will not lie to him.
If Li Bo really started to be greedy, he could have gone away and swallowed those treasures to himself, but he lost his wife for himself, and almost lost his only son.
In that case, is it possible that there is no treasure in the first place? Ying Xuan thought about it seriously for a while, but still thought it was impossible, his dead father and baby had no reason to make up a lie about a treasure, and it seemed that there was still something strange about this matter.
"Father Zhong, you also come over and take a look, there seems to be something wrong with this map?"
Li Bo always stood under the stage, never stepped forward, and he never thought about stepping forward at all. "Young master, although the minister has not seen the map, he knows that he can't see anything at all based on it, but the minister dares to take the head guarantee of the item, this map will never be fake."
When Sun Chao heard this, he snorted coldly and mocked: "What you say is true, is it true?" So go and see where the treasure is? ”
Li Bo knew that Sun Chao had always wanted to sit in the position of the first minister of Qin's legacy, and he had often slandered himself in front of the young master before. Today, he repeated his old tricks, which made Li Bo quite angry, but the young master was right in front of him, and he was not good at attacking.
He tried to restrain the anger in his heart, and said slowly to Yingxuan: "This treasure map is real, and the treasure does exist, but it's just ......"
"Father Zhong, don't sell Guanzi, just what?" Ying Xuan picked up the sheepskin and looked at it again, he was very anxious, could he not be in a hurry, it was a treasure, the treasure of Qin Shi Huang!
Li Bo squinted at Sun Chao, his face was full of disdain, he flicked his sleeves, and looked at Ying Xuan deeply, and said: "The first emperor is located when the building is about to collapse, and knows that treasure is the key to recovering the country in the future. When the time is ripe, the young master will collect three maps, open the treasure, and recover the Great Qin. ”
Three treasure maps?
Ying Xuan collapsed on the chair in a daze, which means that he only has a third of the treasure map in his hand now, if Li Bo had the other two, he would probably have told him a long time ago. Li Bo didn't say it for a long time, there must be something wrong with the other two treasure maps, and their whereabouts must have been unknown for a long time.
Hey, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. That's true.
