When the two of them drank seven points of alcohol, they suddenly realized that the situation was wrong, and the market that should have been bustling and noisy was empty at some point.

Xian Yuyan cheered up and listened, "This little immortal residence seems to be empty." ”

"Yes. There should have been more than 100 drinkers in the lobby downstairs at this moment, and there was no sound at all, and the rooms next door were also surprisingly quiet. ”

Xiaoxian Lou and even the entire street were cleared.

"Is there anyone who is coming," Guo Hua thought to himself, "In the Fangyuan realm, only himself and Xian Yuyan are left, do you want to see me or Xian Yuyan? ”

Xian Yuyan glanced at Guo Yu and felt relieved.

Those who are going to come, have not yet come. The two of them raised their glasses and continued to drink.

It was getting quieter and quieter, and even the dog of the farthest gatekeeper stopped barking.

"Who do you think this time will be?"

"I don't guess. He is sitting in front of me at this moment, and I am afraid I can't even guess who he is and who he is here for. Xian Yuyan picked up a glass of wine and drank it all.

"Hehe, you're still the same. Still, to be honest, I can't guess. The emperor and the old emperor can't put on this position, just summon me into the palace. Li Fuguo, Yu Nuohai has already come in the morning. Who else will there be?"

"Hehe, but there's one thing I guessed, they weren't looking for me. Hahahaha, aren't you really nervous at all, aren't you afraid that someone will ask for your head?"

"I'm just curious, curious why they're bothering so much, who they're here, and as for the head, if they wanted my head, they wouldn't bother so much. ”

"Someone's coming. A hundred steps away, a middle-aged man, a teenager, the young man walked lightly, maybe a woman. Xian Yuyan looked at Guo Yu and said expressionlessly.

After Xian Yuyan finished speaking, it took a while, that is, ordinary people walked more than 100 steps or so. Guo Yu also heard the sound of ascending the stairs.

A middle-aged man has a steady gait, and a teenager walks lightly.

The visitor seemed to have deliberately slowed down his pace, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to hear it if they had not practiced tantric arts.

When the two came to the door, they didn't greet them in advance, but someone directly opened the curtain and floated in a personable teenager.

The person who came was dressed in a moon silver round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, silver ribbon tied hair, capable and neat up and down, without extra sachet and jade pendant decoration, but the materials and cuts of the clothes are from the best Xiufang embroiderers of the Suzhou and Hangzhou generations, rich and natural.

The young man's eyebrows are like distant mountains, his eyes are like autumn water, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his two small dimples reveal twelve points of cuteness and freedom when he laughs.

However, there was a faint hint of gloom that would not disperse in the young man's hall.

It looks familiar, but it really can't match the character in my mind. In an instant, Guo Yu was stunned.

"What's the matter? Look at this boy's young man's romance, do you look stupid?" the young man raised his mouth and scolded with a smile. The sound is also as good as a silver bell.

Guo Hua suddenly woke up, understood his abruptness, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said a faux pas.

The young man also hugged his fist at Guo Yao, smiled slightly, picked a seat, and sat down generously.

At this time, the person who opened the curtain for the young man also walked in, a middle-aged man, with a feather fan in his hand, a white cloth coat, and his hair scattered, with the demeanor of a hermit in the mountains, but his eyes revealed the majestic posture of the world.

Guo Gongzi was polite. This is the third prince in the palace of Guangping, the mountain man Li Yu, who is also serving under the generalissimo of Guangping Wang. ”

It's Li Mi, Guo Yu has heard of this person for a long time. Assist the current saint to recapture Chang'an and expel the thieves, thanks to this person's strategy, and he can be regarded as having a friendship with his father. At that moment, he bowed his hand and bowed deeply to the third prince and Li Mi again, and listened to him tell his intentions.

The mountain man said bluntly. A few days ago, Guo Gongzi received a letter from the old general. The mountain people knew about that. This time, in the fierce battle of Nanshan to eliminate the bandits, Guo Gongzi made great contributions, and the secret techniques also amazed us. I heard that Guo Gongzi was also injured a lot, so that he recuperated for many days, but it seems that Guo Gongzi is refreshed and healthy, and his body must be fine. ”

"With Mr. Lao's concern, the little nephew is recuperating well here, and there is no big problem. I wonder what kind of advice the gentleman has to give him when he comes here?"

Guo Wei heard him mention his father's secret letter, and knew that it would not be easy for him to come this time. After a word of greeting, ask directly about the meaning.

"Haha, Childe has a straightforward temperament. The situation on the front line of the counterinsurgency, Guo Gongzi must have heard of it, the rebels imitated the talents of Taizong back then, and created a phantom cavalry army, brave and cruel, which was really a big disaster for counterinsurgency. The Xuanjia Army built by Taizong back then has undergone several changes and has almost nothing left. By chance, we found out that the batch of Xuanjia that was left in Tubo had already been obtained by General Gao Xianzhi and secretly hidden. We've been trying to find that armor all along. This time, the crow group was exterminated, and unexpectedly, a batch of Xuanjia equipment was seized in the mountains, which strengthened our will to rebuild Taizong's Xuanjia Army. Of course, there are also a lot of Lao Guo Gongzi and Xian Yu adults. ”

"The gentleman praised it falsely. However, why did the gentleman decide that the Xuanjia seized by Zhongnanshan and the batch of Xuanjia hidden by Gao Xianzhi were not the same batch? The younger nephew visited for several days and heard some whispers unfavorable to General Gao, saying that the crow group had tried to win over General Gao to conspire with him. ”

Guo Hua didn't mean to make things difficult, but a thought flashed through his mind, if Gao Xianzhi really conspired with the Crow Group, then the Xuanjia in the Crow Army might be the one owned by Gao Xianzhi.

Unexpectedly, Guo Huan's unintentional question, who was as resourceful as Li Mi, was also speechless for a while.

I saw that his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was contemplative, "Is this possible?" It's just that at the moment, Ling Cheng has gained and lost, and it is a matter of General Gao's reputation and military morale, so he will not think about this matter for the time being. As for the matter of Xuanjia, there is really another reason, so I want to bother my son again. ”

Li Mi finished speaking softly and looked at the beautiful young man on the side. The young prince, with an elegant backhand, took out a beautifully carved bamboo pipe from his back.

The bamboo pipe is more than one foot and five inches, and the light of the friction is as bright as a mirror, showing a beautiful amber color. At both ends is a lid made of nanmu, also carved with a delicate pattern, and the lid is decorated with red tassels, which can be used as a handle to pull the lid open.

The beautiful boy gently opened the lid at one end and took out a scroll of paintings. Guo Yu noticed that the third prince's hand was unusually slender and white, and he had an urge to take a bite lightly.

The beautiful boy also seemed to notice that Guo Hua was looking at himself stupidly, and a touch of blush appeared on his face.

"Well, there's a painting here. I've heard that your swinger's name is unlearned, and he specializes in side doors, so I think I must be able to see some clues from it?"

The beautiful boy pursed his lips slightly, as if he was deliberately teasing Guo Xuan. After that, he used his thin white spring onion-like hand to hand the scroll to Guo Xuan. Guo Hua suppressed the small throbbing in his heart, took it lightly, and slowly unfolded it.

The scroll is no more than one foot two inches high, and more than five feet long. As the picture scroll slowly unfolds, the eyes are full of lakes and mountains and rivers, and you can see it.

On the left hand side of the scroll, on a mountain pass, a towering stone gate is drawn, with three seal characters: Zitong Gate.

Zitong Gate? A very strange door.

On the other side of the stone gate is a rugged mountain road, in the middle of the lofty mountains, on the side of the big river and high lake, twists and turns, intermittent succession, although the mountain road is narrow, but it almost occupies more than half of the whole painting.

At the right end of the painting, there is an undulating group of mountains, like the legendary Kunlun Mountain, with birds and flowers at the bottom of the mountain, and the top of the mountain covered with snow.

There was a long, narrow glacial lake in the mountains, which stretched into a valley full of clouds, and the mountain road disappeared on the shore of the glacial lake.

When you look closely, the mountain road is not calm, there are many large snakes, tigers and wolves squatting and circling along the way, and there are some vaguely carved statues of gods in some mountain passes.

On this treacherous road, a team of men and horses hurried forward. A general dressed in iron armor, with about twenty personal entourage, was lightly armed and walked in front on horseback.

Behind them were hundreds of guards, riding horses and following closely. The difference is that each of these horses is carried with a heavy package. It seems that this shipment is being delivered somewhere.

Except for the three characters of Zitong Gate on the stone gate, there is no word, no seal, no name of the painter, and even no time to paint.

In the case of this team, it is indeed easy to think that this is a treasure map, at least related to a batch of treasures that have been transported.

"This painting of a team of people and horses really looks like they are carrying a large number of goods to some place to store them, is this what you think is a treasure map?" Guo Hua couldn't help but ask after looking at the scroll.

"Well, half of that. Originally, this painting was entrusted by General Gao to an old friend during his lifetime, telling him that when the Tang Dynasty was in danger, he could hand over this painting to someone he trusted, which could help him turn the tide. ”

The answer to Guo Hua's question was Buyi Li Mi.

"Oh? I didn't say it was a treasure map, did I? ”

"Exactly, yes. It was the beautiful boy who answered.

However, in the case of this painting, the information is too simple, and it is not an ordinary way to draw a treasure map. Aside from saying that it can help turn the tide or something, what else is there to say?"

"Nope. The beautiful boy replied in the affirmative.

"Oh, I don't know who this entrusted friend is? maybe, we can find some clues from his identity, or his relationship with General Gao. ”

"It's a subordinate general of General Gao. The beautiful young man's brows moved slightly, and after speaking, he looked at Li Mi on the side.

"Well, it's General Li Siye. Li Mi grinned.

"General Li, don't you have any hints for this painting?"

"Haha, at first when we saw this painting, our hearts were naturally full of questions. It's just that General Li is a rough man, and he only remembers General Gao's entrustment, and he really can't think of anything. ”

"I wonder when this painting was delivered to General Lee, and under what circumstances?"

Li Mi glanced at the third prince, and the beautiful young man smiled slightly, signaling that it was still Li Mi who answered.

"It was after the First Battle of Tibet that General Gao ventured into a raid on Xiaobolu and achieved a great victory, and later conquered the Turks and other departments. The emperor, that is, the current Emperor Taishang, therefore summoned General Gao to Beijing and rewarded him. It was probably at that time that General Gao handed over the painting to General Li for safekeeping. ”

"General Li Siye has always been by General Gao's side, why didn't he entrust this painting to General Li when he was in the Western Regions, and he had to wait until he arrived in Chang'an?"

"Well, it's a famous general of General Gao's generation, and his mind is difficult for ordinary people to guess. General Li Siye was also surprised by this at that time, but he didn't want to ask anything. Li Mi replied.

At that time, the old emperor rewarded him, but General Gao was depressed and seemed to have something unspeakable. When he entrusted this painting to General Li, his expression was also solemn, far from being as romantic as in the past. Therefore, General Li Siye remembered this time very deeply. Otherwise, with his coarseness, I'm afraid he won't even remember this time. ”

It was the beautiful boy on the side who said this, the third prince.

"General Li, did you give this painting to you a few days ago?"

"Yes. It had been a long time, and General Li had forgotten about this incident, but it was only once that Generalissimo Wang of Guangping lamented with him the hardships of quelling the rebellion, and General Li remembered this matter. ”

"Alright. That's all we know, I suggest you pay more attention to this painting, so as not to waste time, and we will inform you as soon as there is any new information. ”

The beautiful boy didn't want to say anything more, what he meant was to let Guo Hua start with the painting itself, and not think too much about it. Guo and Xian comprehended, and immediately hugged their fists and signaled.

Li Mi saw that the matter was negotiated, and told Guo Hua and Xian Yuyan not to talk about today's matter with others.

With that, the comers got up and looked at each other, and then slowly left as they had come.

After about a quarter of an hour, the dog of the gatekeeper at the north gate began to bark.

Soon, a horse-drawn carriage ran briskly across the avenue outside the window, and pedestrians and hawkers slowly came to the street.

Downstairs, there was the shouting of the shopkeeper Liangtang, and the shouts of the drinkers were getting more and more noisy.

The East Market has returned to its bustle and hustle and bustle.

Xiaoxian lived in Penglai Yasheli, Guo Yu and Xian Yuyan slowly drank the wine in the cup. Everything is like a dream, a dream that wakes up from a nap.

On the table, the exquisite and elegant bamboo pipe seemed to remind the two of them that what happened was true.

Xian Yuyan carefully picked up the bamboo pipe, looked left and right, and put it next to her nose and sniffed it. It amused Guo Xuan.

"Look so carefully, I'll give it to you!" Guo said with a smile.

"Hush. Here you go, you have to take good care of this, don't lose it. After speaking, Xian Yuyan really held it with both hands and handed it to Guo Yu.

Guo Yu took it lightly and said to Xian Yu Yan Nunu, "If you see something, just say it directly, why bother spitting." ”

Xian Yuyan patted her stomach, shook her head, and said-

"If I'm right, no man has ever touched this thing before. ”
