Qi Buchen continued: "That day, under the water, I entered a passage, which connected to an underground secret place, and I saw two stone doors, presumably either ancient tombs or ruins, and it was there that the dragon pattern stone box was found. ”

"How can such a thing happen?" The man in Tsing Yi was also surprised.

"That's right!" Qi Buchen nodded, "I think there must be a lot of articles in that place, if you have the chance, you and my brothers can explore it again!" ”

The man in Tsing Yi nodded with a stern expression.

As the two were talking, they heard footsteps rattling on the stairs, and then the door to the private room was kicked open. Several Ouchi guards in yellow coats rushed in.

Several people in the room couldn't help but be stunned, Qi Buchen frowned, and pointed with his hand, "Bold!" What do you mean by that? You know who we are! ”

A sneer was heard outside the house, "It's you who are looking for you!" As he spoke, a person walked in from the door, and it was the eunuch beside Cixi today.

Several people were immediately puzzled, Qi Buchen stood up, "Father-in-law, why are you here?" Is there some misunderstanding? ”

The public said openly: "How many of you are so bold that you dare to even touch Lafayette's things? ”

The man in Tsing Yi was a little strange, got up and asked, "Father-in-law, how can you say this!" ”

The father-in-law snorted, "The dragon pattern stone box is empty, and the contents have been taken away!" When Qi Buchen and the others heard this, they were immediately struck by lightning.

The father-in-law smiled and continued, "Guess who will take the contents of the secret box? ”

Qi Buchen clenched his fists in fear, "Father-in-law, this really has nothing to do with us, even if we have the courage to deceive Lafayette, I am annoyed that my father-in-law will take me to meet Lafayette to present his feelings, and we will be wronged!" ”

"Wronged?" As he spoke, his father-in-law slowly stepped back, "If you have been wronged, go and tell Lord Yama." Lafayette's decree has been issued, and everyone involved in this matter will be killed! Not a single one to stay! ”

As soon as the father-in-law's words fell, many Ouchi guards drew their steel knives and pounced. The guards who came this time were all selected masters, and they were very skilled, plus Qi Buchen and the others drank a lot, so they soon couldn't resist it.

The man in Tsing Yi kicked open the window and pulled Qi Buchen over, "Adults, go away!" ”

"No way!" Qi Buchen struggled to break free, "How can I survive alone!" You and I are brothers in advance and retreat together! ”

"Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, if I wait for misfortune, you will avenge us again!" As he spoke, the man in Tsing Yi pushed Qi Buchen out of the window.

After Qi Buchen was pushed out, he hurriedly kicked the outer wall of the restaurant with his feet, jumped forward, flipped in the air, and landed on the opposite roof. But as soon as he landed, someone outside the restaurant shouted, "Someone has escaped, release the arrow!" Pursue! Immediately after several arrows struck, Qi Buchen dodged with all his might, but he was still hit by an arrow in the shoulder.

He stomped his foot, and immediately took advantage of the night to use his light skills to speed across the roof. After running a certain distance, he turned his head to look at the restaurant, only to see that the restaurant just now was in flames, Qi Buchen's eyes were split, tears came out of his eyes, and several brothers who were born and died with him were probably already buried in the fire at this time. But he knew that there was nothing he could do, so he could only grit his teeth and flee out of the city

After Qi Buchen left the city, he went straight to the outside of the gate and went incognito. However, the Ouchi guards did not give up on encircling him. Qi Buchen relied on his skills and luck to escape death several times.

It was not until seven years later, that is, in the twentieth year of Guangxu, that the Sino-Japanese War broke out, Cixi was tired of coping, and the Qing court could no longer care about chasing and killing Qi Buchen.

Qi Buchen also took the opportunity to return to Guannai and found a place that no one knew to settle down, but he never forgot the dragon pattern secret box that had killed him miserably, and its mysterious origin.

He also wanted to get the dragon pattern box again, and re-explore it to find out the secret. But the news from the palace made him a little helpless, because this dragon pattern secret box had been selected by Cixi as a funeral companion, and it had been transported to the heavily guarded Dingdong Mausoleum at this time.

In this way, another forty years passed, and in 1928, Qi Buchen was already in his old age, but he was still in good spirits. With his own ability and ability, the family has a big business at this time, and the children and grandchildren are full.

The afternoon sun was very warm, Qi Buchen held a purple clay pot, sat on the Taishi chair, squinted and shook slightly.

Suddenly, a man walked in quickly and approached him, "Master! ”

Qi Buchen still squinted, "What's the matter?" ”

The guy leaned forward, "We got the news that Sun Dianying's troops have stolen Qianlong's Yuling and Cixi's Dingdong Tomb!" ”

"What!" When Qi Buchen heard the news, his eyes widened suddenly, and the purple clay pot in his hand fell to the ground and shattered. He suddenly got up from the Taishi's chair and paced back and forth in the courtyard, his brows furrowed tightly. The guy stood with his hands hanging on the side, and he didn't dare to make a noise to disturb.

After a while, Qi Buchen stopped, his brows slowly stretched, "When Cixi buried the dragon pattern secret box with me, I thought I would never see it again, but I didn't expect this Sun Dianying to do such a thing." This time," Qi Buchen smiled slightly, "This time my chance is here again!" ”

He turned his head to look at the guy, "Sun Dianying stole the treasure of the imperial tomb, he will definitely find a way to make a move, you scatter people and horses to find out the channels for Sun Dianying's subordinates to ship." In addition, I will prepare a generous gift in a while, you take my name card to find Chief Yan, and I will go to see him in person in a while. ”

In this way, with the help of his subordinates and Yan Xishan, Qi Buchen secretly met Tan Wenjiang, the commander of the Eighth Division under Sun Dianying.

However, Tan Wenjiang told Qi Buchen with a little apology, "With Chief Yan coming forward, I should have done my best, but the dragon pattern stone box you mentioned has indeed been bought first." ”

"This!" Qi Buchen was taken aback, and then asked, "Master Tan, I don't know who bought this dragon pattern stone box?" ”

Tan Wenjiang shook his head, "I don't know about this, you also know that this kind of thing can't see the light of day, many treasures have changed hands many times, and there is no way to check it at all." ”

At this point, Qi Buchen could only return empty-handed. Qi Buchen, who returned home, was very lost, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, vowing to find the dragon pattern secret box. However, the fact is that creation makes people, and Qi Buchen has never been able to see this mysterious dragon pattern secret box in his lifetime.

Time flies, and nearly a hundred years have passed, and this dragon pattern secret box is still like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no news

After Qi Tai finished talking about this old story, no one in the audience spoke, and everyone was still immersed in the mysterious and abnormal narration he had just made.

And Chu Tianyi's heart was not only unbelievable, but also a little surprised. He couldn't help but wonder if the secret box that Gu Xiaoqian was talking about was the same thing as what the Qi family was looking for just now.

Chu Tianyi couldn't help but look up at Gu Xiaoqian, and the other party just happened to be looking up at him. But as soon as Gu Xiaoqian's gaze and Chu Tianyi met, they immediately turned away as if nothing had happened.

Qi Tai picked up his wine glass and stood up, "Everyone, this is the origin of my Qi family's ancestors and this dragon pattern box, and it is also the ancestor's last wish to regain the dragon pattern box." All of you are the most important figures in the antique circle, so the Qi family has a special heavy amount of money this time, hoping that friends who have a secret box or know relevant clues can give it to the Qi family. The remuneration can be discussed, I hope everyone can sell someone a face! ”

After Qi Tai finished speaking, everyone present also stood up and raised their glasses, "Qi Lao is polite!" "Qi Ye, in a word, no problem!" "We're here to help!"

No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, but for the main family, face still has to be enough.

In the following time, no one at the table mentioned the matter of the dragon pattern secret box again, but talked about the current antique market and their respective business dealings. For these, Chu Tianyi couldn't interject at all, so he could only look left and right, laugh awkwardly from time to time, or find an opportunity to stuff a big mouthful of Wagyu beef into his mouth.

After the meal, everyone got up and said goodbye. Chu Tianyi also followed and walked out. Everyone walked into the hall, and everyone exchanged pleasantries and talked to each other again.

Chu Tianyi had already felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he took a moment to step aside and let out a sigh. When he turned his head, he saw Mu Feng holding a bottle of red wine, drinking it, and looking out the window in a daze.

Chu Tianyi walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, what are you thinking?" ”

Mu Feng came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Chu Tianyi and smiled, "Have you eaten?" ”

Chu Tianyi nodded, "How is it?" Did you eat Wagyu beef? ”

"Eat a fart!" Mu Feng scolded, "There is no Wagyu beef at the buffet in this hall, but there is Niuhe, dry fried Niuhe!" ”

Chu Tianyi couldn't help laughing. Mu Feng lifted the red wine bottle and poured a big sip into his mouth, "That is, this red wine is really good!" ”

"Oh yes," Mu Feng asked, "what did you say inside?" Is it related to the secret box? ”

Chu Tianyi nodded, "Yes, Qi Buchen, the ancestor of the Qi family, was originally a guard in the Great Interior, and what Qi Tai told us just now was the experience of Qi Buchen being ordered to find the dragon pattern secret box. Then, Chu Tianyi repeated what Qi Tai had just said to Mu Feng.

Mu Feng sneered, "I know that it is definitely not easy to offer a reward of 10 million. ”

Chu Tianyi asked a little eagerly, "Brother Feng, what kind of secret do you guess this dragon pattern secret box has?" ”

Mu Feng smiled, "Brother Tianyi, you think too highly of me, can you guess it is still called a secret, if it is easy to guess, you don't have to let the Qi family miss it for hundreds of years." ”

The two of them chatted like this, and it didn't take long for the luncheon to end.

At the gate, Qi Tai and Qi Guangyu were standing here to thank the guests, and when they saw Chu Tianyi and Mu Feng coming out, Qi Tai walked over enthusiastically, "Two virtuous nephews, the hospitality is not good, so bear with me!" The affairs of the Qi family, you still have to worry a lot. ”
