Hiding behind Liu Xing, Su Quan poked his head out, looked at Yelu and said aggrievedly: "Uncle Yelu, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand." Didn't you also say the day before yesterday that the money was also people's fat and people's ointment, and it should be taken from the ancestors and used for future generations? I'm just paving the way, trying to persuade the Taifu to send out the archaeological team to go to the north to do the foreshadowing, not to put on small shoes for you! ”

"Straight!"

Hearing this, Yelu Bashen still shook his huge fists and scolded loudly: "How can you talk about this matter, I will tell the master." You kid obviously just want to steal the credit, and you sell my old man as a commodity. You come out, you come out for me, see that I don't break your bones and beat you all over the face. ”

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, although Yelu Bashen is old. But since he followed Liu Xing, there has been no correspondence for three days, and there must be a secret letter on the fifth day.

Liu Xing's way of speaking in the letter has been cultivated for a long time, and now the old man has actually learned Liu Xing's novelty and witticisms that make people want to laugh.

"Poof", as soon as he heard that the old man was going to beat him with a peach blossom on his face, Su Quan couldn't help but laugh.

Holding back a smile, Liu Xing opened his mouth: "Mr. Yelu, since you intend to use the treasures of the Khitan royal family to take them from the ancestors and return them to future generations. So whether it's Su Quan or you, it's all the same with me. This kid is not kind, but he really has no intention of stumbling on you or digging a hole for you. For my sake, spare him this time! ”

Trust comes from understanding, and trust comes from what each other has done for each other. Yelu Bashen is a Khitan, a declining aristocrat who has been bullied to the extreme by the golden dog, and has to join forces with his former sworn enemies, the Kumo Xi people, to fight against the Jurchens.

However, since he defected to the Ghost-faced Red Turban Army, since he joined Liu Xing's command, no matter what other Han people say about him behind his back.

Liu Xing's trust in him has never been questioned, and even his trust in him has surpassed that of many Han people, which has made some Han people feel resentful for a long time.

But what is the source of this trust? It stems from Yelu Bashen's long-term absolute loyalty after serving Liu Xing, and from the fact that he can make his two sons and three nephews all serve in the army, and all of them are required to be in the army with the hardest training and the most opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy.

It also stems from his long-term tireless efforts to bring his ingenuity to the extreme, and he has painstakingly led hundreds of thousands of skilled craftsmen to turn Liu Xing's seemingly whimsical designs into real firearms.

In this way, he used his manufacturing talents to help the Ghost-faced Red Turban Army and the current Great Song Dynasty Royal Army to sweep all the way.

Another important reason for this source of trust is that although Yelu Bashen has always held the right to manufacture firearms in the Great Song Dynasty, in the eyes of many people, he is a fat gap that can be deducted and pretended to get a lot of "oil and water" at any time.

But he is still destitute, and often even has to ask for money from his five nephews to survive.

Why?

He is a dignified secretary of the Ministry of Industry, as well as the equity and salary of Liu Xing's big trading company, and his income is not enough for him to spend? Could it be that this old man has some bad habits?

The answer, of course, is no, for Mr. Yelu is neither an alcoholic nor a lustful man, and is very clean.

So why does he always be a moonlight clan when he has a lot of money every month?

That's because he used all his income to fund his parents, who were slaughtered by golden dogs in the war, and became helpless orphans.

In Hebei and Shanxi provinces, 24 orphanages are the recipients of Yelu Bashen's long-term funding.

More than 30,000 orphans survived every month with his support, and when they reached the age of Mengxue, he had to pay for pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and clothes and shoes for those children.

More than 30,000 orphans were funded and cared for by him, could it be that he was working hard and using ulterior motives to buy children's hearts to accumulate strength for himself, so as to plot against him in the future?

You must know that there are many people with great ambitions, and it is by adopting war orphans to cultivate their own strength, and when the time comes, those adult orphans will help him fight for the Central Plains in order to repay his kindness.

That kind of thing was not uncommon during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and as early as the Tang Dynasty, feudal towns often cultivated generals who were loyal to their masters in this way and method.

For example, Chai Rong of Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, he was actually the adopted son of Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty......

Nothing comes out of nowhere, and naturally, no trust can be without reason. And the reason why Yelu Bashen was not suspected by Liu Xing in the matter of raising orphans was because his practices proved that his selflessness was hidden in the middle.

How did he do it? When Jeruvarshin funded the nurseries on a monthly basis, he did not fund them in his name, but in the name of the Hunter Valley. What I said to those children was also ordered by Mrs. Liu to give every child who lost a family member due to the war a bright future.

This is the source of trust, and even if others don't want to buy people's hearts and plan for misdeeds in the future, even if others don't want to buy people's hearts and plan evil in the future, few people can give their virtue to others. Mr. Yelu did what few people could do, and he gave up all his virtues to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing knew that his intention was not to take credit and not to take half of the power of faith from himself, and at the same time proved to the world that he did not want to use this means to buy people's hearts and plot misdeeds.

knew his intentions and was confident, so Yelu Bashen knew very well that Liu Xing had absolute trust in him.

Knowing that Liu Xing would not have any doubts about him, Yelu Bashen put away his fist and bowed to Liu Xing: "This kid is really unkind, even if he doesn't want to dig a hole for me and make a trip, he also wants to rob me of my credit." ”

After a slight pause, he pulled a few pieces of paper from his sleeve.

After presenting it to Liu Xing, Yelu Bashen continued: "This is what I sent someone back to my hometown some time ago and found it from the beam of the old house. Above is the ancestral precept hidden in the wax pill left by the ancestors, indicating the approximate location of the Khitan royal treasure. ”

At this point, with a look of shame on his face, he sighed lightly and continued: "But because my family has long been separated from the lineage, even my ancestors don't know where those treasures are buried. If you want to know its specific location, I am afraid that only if Taifu you capture the thief of Yelu Dashi alive, you can ask it from his mouth. ”

After hearing his words, Liu Xing smiled faintly: "Sooner or later, Yelu Dashi will catch him, but this treasure has a rough location, and I believe it will be enough for the group of guys in the archaeological team to find clues and find the place where it is buried." (To be continued.) )
